John C Dvorak: No, no, no, Mom, no, no, no, no, you don't no,
no, no.
Unknown: Adam curry. John C Dvorak, Sunday,
Adam Curry: October 13, 2024, in this your award winning kimono
nation. Media assassination. Episode 1703,
Unknown: this is no agenda, with
Adam Curry: boots on the ground everywhere and broadcasting live
from the heart of the Texas home country, here in FEMA Region,
number six in the morning. Everybody. I'm Adam curry
John C Dvorak: from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're
awaiting the Argentinian gangs. I'm John C,
Adam Curry: D, the Venezuelan Argentinians.
John C Dvorak: Oh, I said Argentinian
Adam Curry: Aragua.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah.
Adam Curry: Well, we might as well just submit to it. There's
nothing we can do. It's the fifth time we've been through
it. The news is all that's, all that it is, is all everybody's
going crazy. Everybody's going crazy because it's a very tight
race. It's so close, so close. I
John C Dvorak: have the race run down here. As you said, you
brought it up. I think I can intro with this.
Unknown: Oh, hold on a sec.
John C Dvorak: This is the, I think is Trump Harris
Adam Curry: campaign rap.
John C Dvorak: The campaign rep from NPR sounds right. Former
Unknown: President Trump is on the campaign trail along the
west coast today. He started with the Hispanic roundtable on
Las Vegas.
We have far more people, far more support than the other
side. And the really the term Make America Great Again, we are
the party of wanting to make America great again right now we
have a country that's a nation in decline,
and he holds a rally in Southern California's Coachella Valley at
this hour. Meanwhile, Vice President Harris is campaigning
in North Carolina this weekend. She's in Raleigh tonight and
holds a rally in Greenville tomorrow, also today. Her
campaign released her medical report. Her doctor says she's in
excellent health and has the physical and mental resiliency
to serve. Her campaign is drawing a line between the 59
year old and 78 year old. Trump, the oldest candidate to run for
the White House and former President Bill Clinton, is
hitting the campaign trail for Harris this weekend. Pierce Asma
Khalid reports he will be traveling through rural counties
in the south.
The former president, who himself is from the south,
intends to campaign in rural Georgia this weekend. His
planning stops Sunday and Monday, ahead of in person early
voting, which begins in the state on Tuesday, prior to Biden
in 2020 the last time a Democrat won Georgia was Clinton in 1992
later in the week, the former President will travel to eastern
North Carolina again with the goal of reaching rural voters.
This on the heels of former President Barack Obama, who is
also on a campaign blitz for Harris in this final stretch of
the campaign. Both are aiming, in part, to boost support for
Harris among men. Polls show the race between Harris and former
President Donald Trump remains incredibly tight.
Adam Curry: She's very breathy in that report. So in the in the
information from the Brits, in the infamous words of notebook.
LM, let's take a deep dive into this. Let's unpack this. Let's
see what's going on. Because the big news that was is flooding
the socials was Obama talking down to the black men.
John C Dvorak: The Harris campaign is clearly worried
about her standing with young black men, and they're sending
Barack Obama out these final of three plus weeks to try to reach
them. Here he is in Pittsburgh.
Unknown: You're coming up with all kinds of reasons and
excuses. I'm speaking to men directly. Part of it makes me
think that, well, you just aren't feeling the idea of
having a woman as president
John C Dvorak: Lulu Harris is leading among black men and
Latino men, but not near
Adam Curry: just this is an affectation that I'm noticing,
and it may just be age, but Obama has the same thing that
Howard Stern has the voice no longer has the power. Do you
know what I mean is
John C Dvorak: Mike poorly listen and echoey room, which I,
you know, I had that clip, but it's so echoey. It was, your
version was a little better when I had,
Adam Curry: well, this is, this was, I mean, there's, there's
more to it, because this is the Chris Wallace show on
John C Dvorak: CIA, probably with their best, they probably
couldn't use much of it either. It was terrible. No, it
Adam Curry: was. It was very bad. Lulu
John C Dvorak: Harris is leading among black men and Latino men,
but not nearly by the same margins that Biden enjoyed in
2020 so in other words, Dad
Unknown: Obama, right there. It's him sort of adopting that
tone of scolding and saying, Hey, man, why aren't you?
Actually backing women. I don't know that that was the best
tactic. I'll be honest with you, it's not. It's not, it's not
really persuading people. At the end of the day, she has a
problem with men. There is a huge gender gap, though, in this
election, this is as it's had, as it's been dubbed the gender
election. And I think if I
Adam Curry: have you heard this being dubbed the gender
election? I've
John C Dvorak: never heard that until this clip. Is fake news.
Lulu is a
Unknown: huge gender gap, though, in this election, this
is as it's had, as it's been dubbed the gender election. And
I think if I were Kamala Harris, I'd rather have women than men.
The kinds of men that Trump has, irregular voters, they're low
propensity voters.
Adam Curry: Hold on, hold on. Irregular voters and low
propensity. What is? What does that mean? Low propensity,
John C Dvorak: that means they don't get out and vote. Oh,
okay, but
Adam Curry: so the oh, well, that's kind of interesting. Then
it sounded like a slur, but now that you explained that it just
Okay, sounds like it's probably true. Donald
Unknown: Trump has are irregular voters. They're low propensity
voters. The kinds of people that Kamala Harris has are
enthusiastic voters, black women, suburban women, these are
the older women. These are the people that turn out and so in
this kind of divided election among gender lines, I think
you'd rather have one than the other.
Adam Curry: I think I found one of those irregular, low
propensity voters, because they were all over my timelines. This
guy, I think, is from Chicago.
Unknown: What you thought you was doing, Barack Obama, boy,
you didn't step out there. All you did was piss black men off,
bro. All you did was piss black men off. Why y'all think the
American people? Why y'all think the Democrat Party owned black
folk? The Democrat Party don't own black folks, bro. What you
thought you was doing with that, we see the play. We know we see
the play. Kamala Harris is losing. She's not going to win.
So you done stepped on out. Yeah. You know black people if
you're voting for Donald Trump and not Kamala Harris. This.
This is unacceptable, man. This what I gotta say to you, one,
two, Trump is coming for you. Three, four, you won't win. No
more. Five, six, the election was fixed. Seven, eight, y'all
made a mistake. 910, Trump is coming again. 910, Trump is
coming again. I said, What in the world of
Adam Curry: this man was one of my favorite, low propensity
voters.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, there's a lot of clips like that floating
around, yeah,
Adam Curry: but I like that one the most. That guy's a good one.
That guy's good. And then, of course, NPR had to, the only
thing they could do is just, is just lay it out what Trump is
talking about.
Unknown: Trump campaigned in Reno, Nevada last night, one of
the swing states that may decide the election next month. He
claimed he's attracting the support of black men. My numbers
with the black and especially black men. I love black men. I
love them. I have gone through the roof with black men, black
men, black men. I don't do quite as well with black women. I
must say, Trump is to appear this afternoon near Las Vegas.
Adam Curry: No humor, no humor on NPR. Trump is later. I
Unknown: don't do quite as well with black women. I must say
Trump
is to appear this afternoon near Las Vegas, and an event billed
as an Hispanic round
table. Oh, no, he's
Adam Curry: going off to the brown man now. Oh,
Unknown: so I have Yes, yeah, well, I
Adam Curry: was going to say that the big thing now is
because Elon Musk said it will happen. Is Trump? Will he go on
Rogan? Will Trump go on Rogan? This will decide the election.
If Trump will go on Rogan, Trump on Rogan. This is whatever
people are emailing me. Oh, man. Oh no,
John C Dvorak: he's got to know what to tell you, to tell Joe,
to tell whatever. Yes,
Adam Curry: I need to talk to Joe to make sure that Joe
doesn't, doesn't go, you know, doesn't try to pull him apart,
doesn't try to strongman him like he did with the moon
landing guy. Oh no, that would be horrible. Trump could lose
please. I'm like, and just before you, because I know you
have a clip lined up. What's her face? Kara Swisher, who's also
on that Chris Wallace show. Well, no, she has some good
advice for Kamala. Well, I
Unknown: think she's got to keep doing it. I think not enough and
repetitions. Everyone does know Donald Trump, and he fills up
every space that he can, whether it's with toxic stuff. Of talks,
louder, meandering. It doesn't really matter. He just fills up
all the space. And so she has to do more and more. I think that
she's going on Charlemagne, the god is critically important.
That was a great that's a great booking for her. And he's, you
know, he has a base on real fans. I think she should go on
Joe Rogan. I think she should go on Fox News. I think she should
go to every local station and just make herself inevitable,
where she makes mistakes, and it's okay to make mistakes, but
the fewer she does, the few, the more mistakes seem glaring. Oh,
Kara, are
Adam Curry: you tone deaf?
Unknown: She's
John C Dvorak: boy. You do not want your advisory committee.
Adam Curry: Oh, you do not want Kamala going on, on, Rogan.
John C Dvorak: I There's so I have a I have two Trump clips
from Coachella, yes, yeah, this, he must have pulled in 100,000
people, you know,
Adam Curry: I had we had dinner. Two friends were happened to be
in Austin last night. I had pizza with him, and they were
recently in Los Angeles, they were on pch, and he was telling
me that there's Trump trains going all up and down the
Pacific Coast Highway. Says it's there's a lot, he says, even
more than Texas, people are waving flags, and they've got
their houses completely all trumped out, which is
interesting, because, you know, when it comes to the Electoral
College, there's pretty much no win in California. No, this is,
John C Dvorak: it's impossible, but this is so the same in
Washington. Mimi. Mimi told me a similar story. She says, up
there she went to a meeting and a local nearby town for some,
some event, some, some book writer, and it was filled with a
bunch of these Trump supporters, and they have taken it upon
themselves to do what they do like in Florida, where they have
all their pickup trucks and they load them up with Trump signs
and flags, yeah, Trump train, and they go all over the place.
And it turns out that they annoy they get these Democrats that
come running up to him, screaming and going ballistic,
such an extreme that they're making it a weekly thing. They
do it because it's so much fun to get all these people
aggravated. And
Adam Curry: then what they do is, then, when they come up to
their trucks and they're all angry, then they roll the coal
on them with the big 250 diesel, the big black cloud, of course,
smoke comes out, but, but what just, but what is the strategy
here, other than just trying to rattle Kamala or because it
seems pretty impossible for, you know, to get the Electoral
College votes you need, no matter how many people in
California would be, would be voting for Trump? It just seems
like an honest
John C Dvorak: winner take all states. So that's,
Adam Curry: oh, wow. So he's going all out. Then he's,
John C Dvorak: he thinks he can at least get enough popular vote
to make it interesting. Well,
Adam Curry: California was red during Reagan. I mean, it was,
John C Dvorak: we had other Republicans running the place,
and so it's not like totally impossible, but the but, you
know, the system underneath the underlying system, the
educational system, the universities and all the rest
have been propagandizing so well that
Adam Curry: they can maybe, maybe we're at a tipping point.
Yeah, sure, tipping point. Hey, um, you know what? I'm just
gonna call it tipping point this election, California flips red.
John C Dvorak: So I have two Trump clips from Coachella, and
I have to apologize in advance. And believe me, I tried,
Adam Curry: oh, you tried to make it sound good, or
John C Dvorak: there's a, there is a ground loop in here, and
I'm apologizing profusely, because this is the kind of
thing that you specifically it drives you nuts.
Adam Curry: Now, is this something that was in the Trump
audio, or it was in the Trump audio? Oh god. I
John C Dvorak: tried getting it out using Adobe. They couldn't
do it. I tried getting it out using filters. Wouldn't work.
Just screwed it up more.
Adam Curry: Okay. So what you are just saying is, Adam, don't
go all crazy about it. So
John C Dvorak: Adam, don't go all crazy about this Gotcha. But
I just, I have these two clips, and we don't want to play them
both. We had to definitely play the first one, which is the fat
pig one. And I'll preface it by saying these are, like, I think,
new bits that Trump has incorporated. Okay, well, he
needed new material, yeah. Well, this is just he, you know, he's
been so reluctant to be insulting ever since they took a
shot at him that he's gone about it now in a kind of a roundabout
way of being insulting. And, you know, he just enjoys it, and the
crowd loves it. You know, they just loved it. I don't know what
it is, but he does insult. He's like an insult comic. Well,
Adam Curry: it's it. I think it's very logical, because,
first of all, America used to be funny. We lost, we lost our
funny decades ago, during Obama, we basically lost our funny and
and it just kind of reminds people that we're Americans and
that we that we know that America F Yeah. You know, like
Team America. I it's, it's something, I think it's
something very deeply ingrained in the American psyche.
John C Dvorak: Well, not in everybody, because there's a lot
of people finding this offensive. I think it's
hilarious personally, well, but this is he's part of the
species, talking away, yak, yak, yak. And somebody makes yells,
Willie Brown in the background, some insult. Okay? And so then
Trump goes off on that, and then he goes into the tangent. And I
think, except for the buzzing, I think that this is his new way
of doing insults, which is Biden doing the opposite, saying, I'm
not going to do this. And then he goes ahead and does it.
Unknown: Your children are in danger. They can't go to school
with these people. These people are from a different planet.
Kamala is turning us into a third world nation. That's what
happened in San Francisco when she was the DA of San Francisco,
the things she did, she started that whole decline with our
victory. He says Willie Brown, who said that? Who's Who's the
guy? What? Stand up. This can only happen in California. Yes,
I didn't say it. Remember that? He said it, he said it, he said
it. Do you remember when a man, we're talking about this guy,
Chris Christie, went off the reservation, right? We have some
people and some guy Shouts out to me, he's a fat pig, sir.
Nobody heard it but me, you know. But it was silly. Said it,
sir. You should not call chris Christie a fat pig, please. He
is not a fat pig. You shouldn't be a very rude, so we're gonna
have to throw you out if you do it again. He is not a fat pig.
And you know what the process, and that's they couldn't even
report this because I was defending because you're not
allowed to use the word fat. You can use any word you can't use.
You cannot call somebody fat. That's not allowed anymore. You
know, you lose your job, you lose your life with our victory,
will we are going to become and quickly the greatest, strongest,
freest, safest and most powerful nation the world has ever seen.
And on day one, I will close the border, and I will stop the
invasion of illegal criminals coming into our country, and
despite all of the damage that she has done to this state and
to our nation in the past four years, she's the worst. Oh,
she's terrible. He's terrible.
Adam Curry: You know, you should lose your nickname, buzzkill,
because you couldn't kill the buzz. I
John C Dvorak: couldn't kill that buzz. No. But so he goes on
about this fat pig thing. And I just thought it was just genius.
He's
Adam Curry: also doing a lot of self deprecating humor about,
you know, oh, if I was in a bathing suit with this beautiful
body,
John C Dvorak: there's Oh, yeah, no. He has a lot of bed about
fire sleeping on the beach. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And he
talks about the bathing suit, and how does he, you know, with
the paparazzi and all the rest, he goes on and on. He the other
one, which we don't have to play because the buzzing is even
bothers me. He goes off on shift, you know, he said, I'll
just summarize it. He goes, he says, you know, you can't say,
you can't really say bad things about people's appearance, and
I'm never going to do that. He says, I'm not going to talk
about shift. You know, he's got the smallest neck in the world.
And he goes on and on right away, yeah,
Adam Curry: oh, man. Well, by the way, I noticed that Dennis
Quaid was at the Coachella appearance with Randy. Oh, I
missed that, but wasn't it? I thought, though the brothers had
a huge break during Obama, or no, no, when Trump was running
against Hillary, if I recall, is like, you know, didn't Dennis
Quaid completely shun his brother?
John C Dvorak: It's possible. But right now, ever since Dennis
Quaid played Reagan, right, right, right, the him and but
him and Randy were both there, yeah? Along with a lot of other
celebrities from Hollywood and elsewhere, it was a pretty
interesting event, except for the buzzing, yeah,
Adam Curry: Dennis Quaid, I saw him interviewed on, what was he
interviewed on? It was Tucker. He was radically saved in AA, I
think, yeah, he's a Christian. So he's a real problem. Now,
he'll never work again.
John C Dvorak: He'll never work again.
Adam Curry: Never Work Again. So, speaking of that, so Bill
Maher, I guess, you know, besides the black men, oh, now
we're worried about the Christians. You know, I mean,
excuse me, Christian nationalists. Bill Maher hired
that guy on Tim, Alberta. He's the guy that, I guess he his dad
was a pastor, and then he left the church and has been writing
the books about how dangerous they all are. And it's all, ooh,
we can't have any of this. And it. Was interesting, because in
the middle of this interview, this just this big lie, which
was really, I mean, does this guy have a different Bible than
me? Evangelicals must see a bigger picture that than we see
in Donald Trump. What is that? Look? I
Unknown: think Bill. No,
Adam Curry: you gotta go. Oh, look, I think Bill. Look, I
think I'm gonna try that on you. Look, I think John, let me just
tell you, Look, we see and look
Unknown: that. Look, I think, Bill, there is a persecution
complex at work here that may seem silly and overblown to a
lot of people from the outside looking in, right, but for folks
inside the church, who believe that the country is slipping
away from them, that they no longer recognize the Christian
America of their youth, and they believe that Donald Trump is an
imperfect vessel for God's perfect will. And they look at
him and say, well, the barbarians are at the gates.
Maybe we need a barbarian to protect us. And I think in many
ways, there's almost a mercenary relationship here where Donald
Trump's bad behavior almost reinforces their support,
because they look at him and say, Well, no good Christian man
is capable of protecting us in the way that he is right. And so
in a way, it almost liberates him to behave badly and to say
whatever he wants and
John C Dvorak: hold on a second. Why was he behaving badly?
Because he's calling chris Christie a fat pig. Yes, that's
Adam Curry: very, very unholy. I don't know he's just he's
behaving badly.
John C Dvorak: I keep you hear stuff like this. There was, I
have a couple of clips coming up, and it's the same thing
where they just throw this stuff out there, and it's just like,
what do you what are you referring to? What specifically
is he doing? It's
Adam Curry: just one now. It's just one of those generally
accepted things. Well, Trump is just, you know, you know, the
whole rundown race. I
John C Dvorak: had a friend, a friend of mine, call me. They're
talking about how I don't know how they can support Trump,
because he's lying all the time. I said, What are you talking
about? Well, he said that Jamie Dimon supporting him, and Jamie
Dimon came out and said he wasn't supporting him. So that's
somehow and even though that could not be, interestingly
enough, Jamie Dimon could be supporting him. You know, he
could have said something to Trump, and Trump assumed he was
a supporting Well,
Adam Curry: Trump is, you know, there's rumors that he wants him
to be the Fed chair or Secretary of the Treasury.
John C Dvorak: So it's possible that, you know, it's just, you
know, one these are, aren't the kind of lies that are important
if it's even a lie. This is like the 30,000 lies that they were
documented with during Trump being in office, and half of
them were, Trump said 15 when the number was 16. Oh, he's a
liar. He said 15 when it's 16. You know, he's just this kind of
these, and they just accept it as a norm, and to say that he's
behaving badly. What specifically, I have a couple
clips coming up that I'm going, it's the same thing. They just
throw this thing in. They never document it. They never did.
Just say it
Adam Curry: well, so what, what got my attention on this is some
persecution complex. And therefore the Christians are
like, well, we can just bring the devil in. That's no we can
just bring in Satan to beat down Satan, or some it's the logic
escapes me of what he's saying, because
Unknown: they look at him and say, Well, no good Christian man
is capable of protecting us in the way that he is right. And
so, in a way, it almost liberates him to behave badly
and to say whatever he wants. And sort of just creates this,
this ongoing relationship where whatever he says and does, his
support remains that he's
Adam Curry: okay. So then, so then this guy's thumbing through
his Bible. Was like, Oh, I got one. I know. I know. I know who
he is. He's the badass gunfighter who becomes they give
him the badge, yeah, to be the sheriff, even they know who he
is, or he's Cyrus. I've heard that Cyrus. You explain that one
to us who is Cyrus in the Bible? Yeah,
Unknown: Cyrus is the Old Testament Persian king who
allows the Jews to go back and rebuild the temple, right? And
the idea being that he's not one of them, but he protects them,
and that Trump in his own way, although certainly you do have a
subset of these folks who believe that Trump actually is a
Christian, that he had a born again experience in the White
House, that Mike Pence led him to Jesus in the White House.
That's funny, which would make the events of January 6. I mean,
if someone led me to Christ, I feel like I'd probably try to
help them if they were, you know, in danger at the Capitol,
but set that aside. But most, most folks, I think, are pretty
clear eyed about who Trump is. They're not under any illusions
about him being a, you know, Bible school, Sunday school,
Bible reading guy. It's just that they view him as someone
who's capable of protecting them from a culture. That has slipped
away in a country that they don't recognize.
Adam Curry: This is This is very strange, because if you look at
the core issues in America that that this guy's and Bill Maher
is just skirting, it's abortion, it's transgenderism, and it's
borders, that's really the only thing that people care about.
But this guy summoned the economy. Well, yes, in the but,
you know, Christians, they all got money. They don't load it.
It's not a problem. Oh, yeah. And by the way, this is only
white Christians. Black Christians don't count.
Unknown: I think it's important to distinguish real persecution
from manufactured persecution. So
Adam Curry: he's back to the persecution thing. And this is
what i This is the best part of this you're talking about. Well,
that he, he believes that Christians, uh, evangelicals,
whatever, advertising that they feel persecuted, and that that
is why they want Trump, because Trump will set them free
somehow. That's his whole, his whole thing. We got Cyrus from
Persia, and he protected the Jews. Like, what are you talking
about,
Unknown: right? So you have Christians all around the world,
in China, in India, in Sub Saharan Africa, yeah, they're
really persecuted. Who could never conceive of having
political power, of cultural influence of any sort of
privileged status conferred upon them because of their faith
affiliation, and in some way that helps the Christian
movement in these areas to thrive and to be sort of
organically authentic
Adam Curry: around going rousted.
John C Dvorak: They're gone idiots.
Unknown: The American church. It's obviously a very different
story, in part, because privilege and status and power
is all we've ever known. And so now, when you see the
demographics beginning to shift slowly, but they are shifting.
And when you look at the prospect of, what does a post
Christian America look like, what does it represent, I think
to a lot of these folks here in the White evangelical movement,
certainly the world that I came out of, they perceive it as a
very real threat to them, and they're desperate to sort of
hold on to what they have. But I think the story of Christianity,
to your point, is about real persecution and how your faith
is strong enough in the face of whatever those challenges are to
persevere, but we are at a stage now where we're sort of
manufacturing these threats in order to justify the ways in
which we treat people who are not us. This
Adam Curry: is completely bizarre, what this guy is
saying. And Bill Maher's like, oh yeah, oh yeah. So that, so
this,
John C Dvorak: I don't even understand what he meant by that
last comment.
Adam Curry: Well, all that, I think he's trying to say is that
we're in post Christian America, which, I mean, we're certainly
not in post faith America. If you take all the different
faiths in America, it's probably 75 80% believes in something,
including Islam. But this guy, and he thinks that the that the
American church feels persecuted, whereas I think he's
got it wrong. What happened is the American church woke up
during not all, but a portion of it woke up during covid and
went, hold on a second. The government just shut us down.
This is a much bigger issue, not about persecution. This is the
actual fundamentals of our country, and that's in this
final call. You
Unknown: know, everyone has a different definition for
Christian nationalism, and that's part of the problem,
because we don't know exactly how to define it. Just call
them. KKK, it's easier to me. Christian nationalism is really
just the marriage of bad history and bad theology. Here we go,
and one is a prerequisite for the other. Once you've gone
around to the school boards and the legislatures, once you have
changed the curriculum, once you have rewritten history,
literally rewritten history books, to convince people that,
in fact this was born to be a Christian nation, that in fact
the establishment clause and the First Amendment, that those
things were sort of an elaborate, three dimensional
wink and nod from the founders that they really did want for us
to be an explicitly Christian nation governed by European
Christian men, and that they were fine with an eventual
theocratic takeover of our governing institutions.
Can you believe
Adam Curry: this? Wow, dude. Have you read the Declaration of
Independence? Have you read the Constitution? Have you? Have you
even looked at the people who signed it? They're being
John C Dvorak: they're looking forward to the theocratic
takeover.
Adam Curry: This is like, what's true? What
John C Dvorak: trend line has he talking about? I haven't seen
zero evidence of this. No. And you're, if any would be a
Christian nationalist or described as such, it would be
you, not me. Yes, completely, and I don't see any evidence
that you're a Christian nationalist. I
Adam Curry: am, though I met, of course, I am, of course, of
course. What I don't know what he's defining as a Christian
nationalist. But yes, it's the establishment clause that all
comes down to this. They are. Afraid for some reason that the
and this, this goes back to that crazy guy about the I
John C Dvorak: preface before you say what they're afraid of.
Let's start with the premise that we're dealing with out and
out atheists. Yes, Bill Moore in particular, and then this guy is
an obvious atheist, and they're promoting atheism, which is, you
know, you can promote whatever you want. That's the point of
free speech, yes, and it and but let's not give let's not make it
more out of it than atheism, which is what we're dealing with
here. And it's fine. You want to be an atheist. It's your
business,
Adam Curry: right? But what he's trying to say is the danger here
of the Christian nationalists? Is they? They believe that the
government should, you know, should only be run by
Christians, and that everyone needs to pray every morning, and
then, just like Insanity, it's insanity where and taking the
Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, and saying, Oh
yeah, you know the they wanted to make sure that we can get in
and they can run the run the whole thing like a church, but
it's exactly the opposite. This guy is accusing people of that
of which the atheists like him are guilty of themselves, and
finish it up,
Unknown: and that they were fine with an eventual theocratic
takeover of our governing institutions once you get to
that place, oh, then where you accept that piece of history as
being true, then suddenly the way that you read Scripture is
very different, and it becomes very easy for you to distort
basic theology. The ways in which Jesus commands us to look
forward to a kingdom that is not of this world. You begin to
think that actually that kingdom is in this world, that it is
here. It is not what.
John C Dvorak: How did it go from A to B? I
Adam Curry: don't know. It was completely bizarre and fear
mongering over nothing other than Christians. They might,
might, might, maybe, might, we might get 10% more to vote this,
this election, maybe is
John C Dvorak: all it's about. Of course, this is just about
scaring the dumb dummies out there, of course, into believing
this. And that's going on, and Trump's somehow gonna be part of
it, and he has to be stopped, yeah, so we can put in an
atheist like Kamala Harris, yes, who's a dummy,
Adam Curry: whereas I can tell you, the only thing the
Christian nationalists are really talking about is a
spiritual war between this guy evil and good. That's it. That's
it. Hey, I just thought it was kind of interesting that this is
this, this, if the fear is is sad in a way. Anyway, what you
got?
John C Dvorak: What do I have? You had? You said, Yeah, throw
it to me out of the blue. I mean,
Adam Curry: I can, you said, I have a series of clips right
after this. And so
John C Dvorak: that's, I had the Trump clips. I got the shift
clip. I got, you know, okay, well,
Adam Curry: then I have, I have some serious Trump clips, kind
of serious. Well,
John C Dvorak: I Please play. I will respond to these clips, and
then maybe I'll come up with something. Yes, he was
Adam Curry: on Maria Bartiromo, you know, bromp, yeah, yeah, no,
I missed that, not on her, but on her show.
Unknown: Hey, oh, you
need some news in your Detroit speech with news proposals, but
I want to get your take on your economic policy, first, debt and
deficits, because you've said you want to eliminate taxes on
tips, eliminate taxes on Social Security, on overtime pay,
ending the double taxation of Americans living abroad, a
proposal to make car loans interest tax deductible. That
was, that was said. You said that you even introduced this
15% corporate tax rate for companies to produce an American
America and hire American workers.
Adam Curry: So, so far, I'm like, Yeah, let's do all that.
Let's, I didn't know about the car loan.
John C Dvorak: Yes, that's new. Oh, he's just that that came. I
think he maybe been introduced at Coachella. And he does make a
point at Coachella, another thing he says, which is that I
don't under and which is something I've been saying. I
don't understand how you can run for president, the presidency
and and promise tax increases and hope to get support. No
which is what camel is doing. I'm gonna raise everybody's
taxes. I'm gonna rich. I'm gonna, you know, gouge the rich
and gouge the everyone you know vote for me. It doesn't make
sense. I think the
Adam Curry: idea of making your car loan tax deductible is
genius. It
John C Dvorak: was always deductible until 1986
Adam Curry: oh, who changed that? Reagan? Why did he change
that? We were out of money. I have
John C Dvorak: no idea was to during some period where that
was seemed like a good idea at the time, and no one ever
reversed it, hmm.
Adam Curry: Well, I didn't know that. But now that you know,
some people are paying nine and 10% you look, you look at the
car commercials, the lease, the lease is amazing. This will only
cost you four nine to nine a month. And then you look at. You
freeze the frame, you look at the bottom with an $8,000 down
payment. Okay, that seems like a good deal.
John C Dvorak: You have to, by the way. This is the reason you
want to get a 4k TV. What you just said, oh, yeah, so you can
see that stuff, so you can read the fine print. I, and I wanted,
I don't want to go off the topic, but I just want to say
the fine print. Have you seen those ads where they say, Oh,
this is for, you know, you get a special phone. They give you a
free phone, and it tells you what you're saying so you can
hear Johnny the baseball player,
Adam Curry: like this a Medicare scam.
John C Dvorak: If you read the fine print the whole thing, they
route the call through India, and some guy listens in on the
call and types in what he says. It says very clearly. It's not
actually technology. It's just a no, there's no technology
involved.
Adam Curry: It's a $5 phone, or $3 phone, because it's just a
phone with big, big buttons and then, well, it's
John C Dvorak: also got a screen that you can read from the
screen. Oh, okay, wow. So there's no AI, huh? No, it's
just some guy, some guy. Okay,
Adam Curry: type this out. Does it say that some guy in India
John C Dvorak: will be might as well say some guy,
Adam Curry: some guy, some guy in India is typing this out for
you, Granny. But
Unknown: how will you pay for it? The Committee for
Responsible Budget says your plans will increase the debt by
$7.5 trillion but they don't know that the Wall Street
Journal said that your plans will increase the debt and
deficits more than Kamala Harris's.
If I do this, you're going to have car companies coming back
to the country because of the taxes and the tariffs. The
tariffs will protect them when they come in, so they will
protect from other companies coming in, because if the other
companies don't come in, they're going to have to pay massive
tariffs. And that's it. So I was told, here's what was happening.
China was building massive car plants, big car plants in
Mexico. That's the new one. And I just spoke to the man that
does it. He's a friend of mine, and I said, How's it going with
Mexico. What's happening with the car plants? He said, Sir,
they've totally stopped. I said, Why did they stop? Because they
think you're going to be elected
Adam Curry: as a friend of mine, John, whenever I call you, I
want you to say, Sir, okay, because I think that's very
reasonable. It's very reasonable if I ask you a question as a
friend, yes, sir.
John C Dvorak: Yes, sir. All right, so
Adam Curry: how are you going to pay for it?
Unknown: So I'm just trying to understand how you're going to
pay for all of this, no tax on stuff. And you said that there's
a lot of fat in government. I
gave you an answer, growth. We're going to grow at a level
that you've never seen before, and we're going to have
tremendous jobs, and we're going to have companies coming in left
and right, and they're going to build building factories, going
to take over empty hulks that are all over the place from
companies that left. But you've
also said that there's a lot of fat in government that you would
want to so what agencies would you want to shut down? Well,
let me, let me have you ask another person that, because I'm
going to have Elon Musk. He's he is dying to do this. You know,
he's a great business guy. Actually, do you think of him
for science and rockets and every time I think he's telling
me about a new screw, this was developed, a new screw. Screws
are difficult. Wait a minute,
Adam Curry: John, have you heard about the new screw? No,
John C Dvorak: I have not heard about the new screw that he's
developed. It
Adam Curry: may be a loose screw, but there's a new screw,
apparently. And it's amazing this screw, it's the most
beautiful screw. It screws like no one else can screw. You think
Unknown: he's telling me about a new screw. This was developed.
He's developed a new screw. Screws are difficult, and it's
made out of titanium, by the way.
Adam Curry: Screws are difficult, just so you know,
it's a new screw is an easy screw. Listen, Elon's an easy
screw built
Unknown: a new screw. Screws are difficult, and it's made out of
titanium, and it's so exciting. But you know what so exciting? A
great business guy, and he's a great cost cutter, you've seen
that, and he said, I could cut costs without affecting anybody.
So he will be in the cabinet, not in the cabinet. He doesn't
want to be in the cab. He just wants to be in charge of cost
cutting. Who have a new position, Secretary of cost
cutting. Okay?
Adam Curry: So he's not in the cabinet, but he's the secretary
of cost cutting. Okay, this is, this needs to be fleshed out,
okay, so just, I'm just going to take a little side, side step on
Elon, and then we can get off the topic, because lot of people
looking at his Starlink that he's been giving away to the
hurricane victims, particularly North in West North Carolina, by
the way, shout out to Bruce. Bruce is 72 he's been without
power for 17 days. So I sure, I'm sure, hope he gets his power
back. So a lot of bad stuff going on up there. And so now
everyone has seen that these starlinks that he's been
bringing in, you still have to buy the equipment. It's
discounted. So instead of $400 I think it's 299 And, and he's
only giving you a month free. No,
John C Dvorak: he's giving me, he says, free till the end of
the year. Oh, okay. Well,
Adam Curry: every report I saw was, was a free month, yeah, no,
it's free till the end of the year. All right, so, you know?
Okay. And then I was thinking, you know? And I got this clip
from Mike Benz because he said something really interesting on
the Sean Ryan podcast. All of this stuff that Elon does is
really, it's irrelevant compared to Starlink. Starlink is really
the main business. And when I look at what he's, you know,
this deal that he's giving to the people in North Carolina.
I'm like, you know, the US taxpayer paid for this. This is
a military system. We can all pretend it wasn't a military
system first, but it was always been a military communication
system that has a sheen of consumerism over it, which is
the same as Tesla. You know, Tesla was, Oh, look at this,
beautiful. Everyone loves this. They're so sexy, they're so
great. They drive themselves. But it really was part of the
climate change agenda, and it really furthered the climate
change agenda for many years, until, you know, people are now,
you know, probably a little less happy about them. So Starlink,
for my money, they should be giving it away for free for two
years to these people, because we basically paid for it the way
I see it. I don't have physical receipts, but I'm pretty sure
that's what it is. Now. Everyone loves Starlink. I have it as a
backup. You're considering it as a backup. So that really means
that there can be a single point of failure. There can be a
single point of censorship, which I don't expect, but there
certainly can be a single point of surveillance and Mike Benz
and Sean Ryan diving. Would
John C Dvorak: that be different than the single point of
surveillance of that building, the at&t building in San
Francisco, there on whatever Fourth Street? Yeah, I
Adam Curry: think it's, I think it's a little different because
for the NSA
John C Dvorak: operation in Utah, well,
Adam Curry: yes, I think it is. I mean, this is a much more
direct. You're directly connected. You can target, okay,
I need to listen to that guy, boom, tap into that guy. It's, I
think it's a little easier, actually, then. So first at&t,
you know they were making a whole copy of the internet and
the NSA. I mean, they, they, they have to record everything
that you go back and try and find it. In this case, it's very
targeted, like, Oh, I know where Dvorak is. Let's see what he's
doing. So I think it is different. So now we go to the
Brazil thing. Why did Elon buckle to the Brazilian
government over x? It was really about Starlink. And it starts to
come together when you hear this. China
Unknown: is has just launched this new SpaceX competitor that
just recently put its first constellation of its of its
satellite mega project in play, and this Starlink competitor,
Starlink market killer, is something that I would not be
surprised if Brazil pursues as a Starlink substitute. Lula
hitched his star to China, to China. Bolsonaro was very
hostile to Chinese soft power and Chinese investment in
Brazil. And Lula, who, again, was backed by the US State
Department. They wanted him to win. They sick the State
Department, the CIA and the DoD on Bolsonaro to, you know, to
warn him against questioning the election. They didn't do that to
Lula. And again, this whole censorship apparatus was set up
by the State Department and USAID to kill Bolsonaro
political support. So they wanted Lula to win. And Lula has
reversed decades of of China hostilities, and immediately, as
soon as he got into office, declared that, effectively,
China is the linchpin of Brazil's new economic
development plan, that they're going to be a, you know, a long
distance, part of China's Belt and Road Initiative. And they're
there. So they are now pitching their star to China,
Adam Curry: which means, who is this guy going to? Mike Benz,
Unknown: well, that's Mike bends. Okay, need China's
they're gonna do favors for China, for China to do favors in
kind.
Adam Curry: So I didn't know that China had launched a new
Starlink competitor. And when you have a country like Brazil
which has geo political, geo strategic importance to us,
yeah, we want to have Starlink be the be the pipe in. We can't
have the Chinese doing that. I there's something up with this.
Isn't a short
John C Dvorak: there's something up with it. But I'm not seeing
it's gonna that technology on Starlink is so screwy.
Adam Curry: Screwy. What do you mean? Screwy?
John C Dvorak: It's it's a screwy technology, if you'd ever
Exam. And how those antennas work, because it's a moving
target. It's constantly moving. You. There is no fixed
satellite. It's not like a satellite, you know, any sort of
geostationary satellite that sits there, and you just go back
and forth at a even though you can't do the fixed satellite at
low orbit like that, it's moving. It's a moving target.
And the antenna that you're using at your end has a bunch of
little antennas that have that essentially target the movement
and then follow it and then pass it off to the next one. It's,
it's almost like kind of a virtual cell sense, cell phone
system as you're driving down Highway five, and it keeps
changing cells. Yeah, it's doing that in real time with a
satellite moving at high speeds with it, with a with an antenna
array that's in that, that dish of yours that is just screwy.
It's a crazy idea that anyone can even pull this off that, and
in fact, that it works as a miracle, seems to me, Yeah,
seems
Adam Curry: like a perfect something that, well, all I know
is that there was a huge fructose at the beginning or a
couple months into the full scale invasion of Ukraine, and
Elon Musk apparently didn't turn on, or it was turn we don't know
who turns on or Who turns off. So when you have militaries or
paramilitaries or terrorists, anything that we might happen to
control, you know, we want to make sure that they can use the
internet and encrypt it or not, whatever they have, this
communication system which kicks everything else's ass compared
to these sat phones and the, you know, 9600 baud communication
you get. This is an amazing new thing. And you know, we can't
have China up there taking over our business, or, even worse,
knocking some of these satellites out. Who knows? Who
knows what you can do? Here's another 45 seconds. I
Unknown: would not be surprised if part of what's happening
right now with tack, with taking out Starlink, is an attempt to
do either a favor, directly or indirectly, for their their new
Chinese partners and or to supplant Starlink altogether
with the this new Chinese competitor who is looking to get
market reach and capturing, you know, the 10th largest economy
in the world would be incredible as a beachhead, not just in
Brazil, but also in all of South America. But this also begs very
strange questions about why it is the US State Department so
vociferously backed Lula, when Lula so vosis vociferously backs
China. So
Adam Curry: there's a lot of things at play here, and somehow
there's
John C Dvorak: a lot of things at play. If any of this is true,
correct?
Adam Curry: I have no idea if the Chinese system is is real or
not. I'm
John C Dvorak: well know that. But how much did the State
Department back Lula, and how much did the State Department
want China to go into Brazil. This doesn't make any sense.
He's
Adam Curry: done all. He's done a lot of deconstruction of that.
I mean, it's he has done a lot on that. I mean, you know, Mike
Benz was in the State Department. I think his problem
is he does stuff like this where he said, Oh, it's like this,
and, oh, but you can go look at my ex post, and you can watch
for an hour and a half, you understand exactly what they
did, which is his problem. It's very hard to just kind of
distill it down, but my overarching point is Elon is
important because he is the public face of our rockets, the
Starlink, which is just, it's a military system, and it's, and
it's important when you when you connect people, connection is
protection. When you connect people, that brings economic
prosperity. It's, it's undeniable, and the more
bandwidth, the better. So, so Trump, you know, coming up with
this, oh, I'll have the secretary of cost cutting. Okay,
well, that'll be the day.
John C Dvorak: Can you see that? Yeah, well, that, yeah, we've
only heard those promises since everyone's lifetime. Yeah, yeah,
right. So anyway, I mean, this began with Hoover.
Adam Curry: What did Hoover say? Same
John C Dvorak: thing, oh, we're gonna shrink government. It's
been growing ever since, yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah. Elon can come in and do it today. He's gonna
stop the war in in Ukraine in a day. Yeah, vote for me. This is
what. This is what, this is what I mean is everyone's going
crazy, and then, you know, we'll see Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan's going
to determine the winner of this election. Everyone knows it.
That
John C Dvorak: seems unlikely. I think most people pretty much
made up their minds of what they're going to do. I. Far as I
can tell. Well, except
Adam Curry: for the black men, the big, beautiful black men,
they've now finally come out. If they actually go and vote,
that'll make a difference. This is what Moe has been saying for
as long as I've known him.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yes, with one of his basic thesis, yeah.
Let's listen to this little NPR report on voter fraud by
government. The
Unknown: Justice Department is suing the state of Virginia over
a program to remove voters from its election polls in the lead
up to this November's elections, if DMV records don't indicate US
citizenship. Federal law prohibits purges from voter
rolls within the 98 period leading up to an election the
system put in place by executive order by Republican Governor
Glenn youngkin has already faced lawsuits from immigration rights
groups. Youngkin calls the suit politically motivated. The DOJ
recently filed suit against Alabama over similar voter roll
purges. I got
Adam Curry: a note from one of our producers. He says his his
sister, think his sister and his mom live in California, and his
sister what his sister and his mom live in California, and
neither of them got their ballot in the mail. And he says, that's
the first time it's ever happened. There's something
this. I mean, obviously there's my reply to was, yes,
everybody's cheating this time around. Hello, Oh, I did it.
Hello, hello, you
John C Dvorak: did it. Yes, you did.
Adam Curry: I can't help. I can't help. Everyone's
John C Dvorak: cheating. You used to be, it used to be so
good at stopping yourself. I'm slipping and you've lost it.
Adam Curry: I've lost my I can't do it. I keep saying the W word
from time to time as well. It's, it's so prevalent, so prevalent
everywhere. They overdid it. They had a dream about that. You
had a dream about the W word? Yeah. What happened? Yeah.
John C Dvorak: We were having this competition. The two of us
and I had, I had stopped saying it, and you couldn't stop saying
it. It was a, was a strange dream. Somebody was, I remember,
I was working on the ascent, but as an inspector for trail
mobile. And some minute, wait a minute,
Adam Curry: trail mobile, yeah,
John C Dvorak: trail mobile. This
Adam Curry: is a new story. I don't know anything about. No, I
think it's been brought up before is trailmobile.
John C Dvorak: Trailmobile used to make trailers and cargo
containers for Matson. And you know that was I worked on the
cargo container alarm for trains
Adam Curry: or for trucks,
John C Dvorak: for ships. Oh, ships, okay, you know those
containers that put on the back of a truck? And, yeah, yeah.
This is the early days of it. This is when it first began,
when containerized shipping first began. They had a whole
line there making these things. And this guy says to me, he's,
you know? He says, hey, you know, I started dreaming about
the job. He says, I now I gotta quit. Said, why? He says, you
when you start dreaming about a job, you gotta quit. There's
some rule.
Adam Curry: This is a bad omen. You have, you have four more
years. Feel good about it. You have four more years. You can't
quit now. There's no quitting in podcasting. I can't do that.
There's
John C Dvorak: no quitting in baseball. There's no crying in
baseball. I
Adam Curry: can confidently say I don't think I've ever had a
dream that you were in.
John C Dvorak: Well, good, yeah, yeah. But now that you get lost
in one of your dreams, but
Adam Curry: somehow you suck me into yours. Yeah? Well,
John C Dvorak: I was just, it was just to humiliate you. I
think because you kept saying that word, the W word, okay,
yes.
Adam Curry: And your older men will have dreams. Speaking of
containers, we're going to Chicago. One
Unknown: by one, people made their way up the tracks to raid
this freight train parked at an overpass off Cicero and Lake. In
all
my years living on the west side, I've never seen actual
freight train parked over a buyout where people actually
going into it
yet. CBS sky watch captured just that Friday. Watch as folks grab
boxes of TVs from the train cars and easily load them on top of
vehicles waiting, people just
kind of standing there, like in disbelief, and all like, Oh,
wow. I can't believe this happened. Princess
Shaw watched all of this unfold from her car. She snapped these
images and immediately called 911
gave 911 a call, I'm talking to dispatch, and they're like,
Yeah, you're not the only call that's been made. We've had
several calls waiting for a car to get dispatched.
Police sources say CPD had to wait over an hour for Union
Pacific officers to respond and secure the tracks, leaving ample
time for more and more people to loot the train cars, and
they were just opening it up like it was, like it was
Christmas.
Take a look at this video. It shows the thieves holstering a
TV from the tracks directly in front of Chicago police cruiser,
despite lights and sirens on these guys kept on with their
illegal mission. It's not clear if officers were in the vehicle
at the time, but radio dispatch reveals cops were not arresting
when first on scene,
we just drove by a big group of people. They're still losing
their.
Time, they've already shown that they're not equipped or ready
for what they did today. So if copycats come, they're not
ready. If it took them an hour,
we captured more people a few blocks away, scaling the walls
trying to get to other trailers, even after officers arrived,
nothing
but empty boxes. Nothing but, but just scattered. Everything
everywhere.
The empty TV boxes litter Cicero Avenue, leading many to wonder
how they were able to pull this off so easily.
How do they know where the TVs were there's not like the
freight trains are labeled. So it just leaves you to there's a
lot of questions here that are left unanswered. This
Adam Curry: is a, an odd throwback to the days of Jesse
James and the the great, wait
John C Dvorak: a minute. We didn't, wasn't there a similar
story that we had on this show, like, about 40 years ago,
California.
Adam Curry: It was happening. It was during covid. No, I thought
it was
John C Dvorak: in Chicago before covid. And I thought it was
Chicago, I
Adam Curry: thought it was California, but they were just
looting,
John C Dvorak: you know, some park, Park vehicles, not
vehicles, but trucks, trucks. Oh, truck, cargo containers.
Yeah, vaguely, very strange story.
Adam Curry: Well, when you see the video, it's even crazier. I
mean, there must be 100 people, and the cops are just sitting
there, like, whatever is, you know, this is train robbery.
Can't have this. Just strange. Kamala's fault. Just blame it on
Kamala. No Biden, that's what everybody seems to do. Blame it
on Kamala. All right, I'm leaving a
John C Dvorak: I got a couple. I got some stuff I got, let's
start. Let's start. I hate to do is going to pull Jesse waters
out of the bin,
Adam Curry: out of the bit. Okay, as long as you say he's
coming out of the bin. I'm okay with this coming
John C Dvorak: out of the bin. There's a couple of good
deconstruction. He did something on the show, and he talked about
camel is appearance on 60 minutes. And he has, I thought
they brought some factoids out here. This is the 60 minutes
deconstruction that that was on on Jesse waters. And he is
starts off by playing a clip of of her being grilled about
something, and then her comment, and they did a follow up. His
producers did a follow up that nobody else has done.
Unknown: And if you think she was unprepared for the view,
watch her on 60 minutes.
The first bill we proposed to Congress was to fix our broken
immigration system, knowing that if you want to actually fix it,
we need Congress to act. It was not taken up. Arrivals
quadrupled from the last year of President Trump. Was it a
mistake to loosen the immigration policies as much as
you did?
It's a long standing problem, and solutions are at hand, and
from day one, literally, we have been offering solutions.
What I was asking was, was it a mistake to kind of allow that
flood to happen in the first place?
The policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a
problem, not promoting a problem, okay, but the
numbers did quadruple.
She can't even answer the question because she never tried
to fix the border until it was an election year. She claims she
sent an immigration bill to Congress on day one, and it
wasn't taken up. Well, Prime Time producers investigated,
because from all we remembered out of the gate, Biden signed
seven executive orders shredding Trump's border policies. We
didn't recall a Biden Harris immigration bill on inauguration
day because Biden Harris didn't propose a bill fixing the
immigration system. We discovered they submitted an
amnesty bill that would give citizenship to all of the Eagles
in the country. And part of that bill, you can't call them
illegals. You have to call them undocumented newcomers. Nancy
and Chuck controlled the House and the Senate back then, no
wonder they didn't take it up. It was political suicide.
Adam Curry: Yeah, Waters is has been doing a lot of interesting
things in the past couple of months, which is, you know, I
kind of missed the humor he used to be. Yeah, that's true. Yeah,
I agree. He's trying to be, you know, he's trying to do good
work, yeah, stop. Well,
John C Dvorak: it's just, it's not him. Anyway. Let's, you
know, the soul behind the just the producers and executive
producers, the guys are really run the show, and he just
happens to be the front man. Yeah. Now he did. I get two more
clips from him. Oh, and this is when he had Kevin McCarthy on
the show. And this really kind of Kevin McCarthy. Is two clips
here, and one of them is he's kind of two faced. Kevin
McCarthy has been on, stumping around, and I'm hurt by the fact
that he the first time I heard. Him do? He was on a podcast. I
didn't record it, but after I heard this, when he on the on
waters, I kind of kicked myself, because I have to tell you what
he said on the on the podcast, he went on about how he got
kicked out of his speakership, and he blamed the whole thing on
Matt gates.
Adam Curry: Go, oh, that's what I heard that. And then he even
was talking about Matt Gates's underage hookers or whatever.
Unknown: Yeah, yeah,
Adam Curry: my podcast, it
John C Dvorak: was a great podcast. The guy's going on and
on. In the end, he's just getting it out of him. McCarthy
said, he said, he expresses the following. He says, what
happened was Matt Gaetz was in trouble. Did some one of the
committees was investigating him because of all these underage
girls and gates comes up to him and says, Hey, Kevin, you're the
Speaker of the House. Can you help me out? And instead of
McCarthy's shining him on, instead of gonna say, Yeah,
sure, oh yeah, he didn't do that, he says, No, I can't help
you out. I can't do anything. And so it pissed off gates. And
so Gates got together with, with with mace, the female Nancy
mace, I guess is her name, yes, and they got they kicked it.
Managed to kick him out because of some rule, and he says it's
all because of of this who's just not helping him on this
investigation. And then the podcaster says to him, Well, you
so you speak to him anymore, or you use friends anymore. And
because I know everyone gets together after stuff like this
happens, he says, and then McCarthy says, No, I'm not
talking to a pedophile.
Adam Curry: Whoa, whoa, that's slanderous, libelous,
John C Dvorak: but not if it's not necessarily this is true.
You can say the truth. Yeah, so here he is on Jesse, what
waters. And the first clip is him talking about camel never
showing up to meetings when he was in Congress. He says they'd
have a they'd have a meeting. Kamala show up when she felt
like and I thought this was kind of revealing. But then this the
second clip where he comes back again with his complaining. This
was where we're going to play the first one though, yeah, play
the first clip, and then I'll did the second clip. This
Unknown: was where remarkable you would see, respect what
someone would hold the meeting up for. No Joe Biden never
waited for he'd start the meeting, even with this, she
wasn't so then she'd show up, and you'd wonder, does she know
what's going on? And only now and then she would interject.
But it was kind of like the person interjecting and you were
30 minutes late on that question. We already handled
that section,
so she was late to these meetings. She wasn't prepared.
Wasn't prepared. Was that her fault because she said she had
staff problems. I mean, isn't it your responsibility to prepare
yourself at a certain point,
you know what your meetings are, you know where you're going to
go the next day. She's got all the staff in the world that she
needs, but no one will stay with 92% have left.
Adam Curry: This backs up your theory that she doesn't want to
be president because she's lazy. Yes, she doesn't, she doesn't
like it, yeah,
John C Dvorak: yeah, she just as soon not get the win. She's just
benefit and then get out. So here he goes back into this that
she can't keep her staff. And I'll listen carefully to what he
says as a kind of a kind of a little aside that it's chicken
shit, but it's part of this overall. I'm still irked about
the fact that I got kicked out of the speakership. She's got
all the
Unknown: staff in the world that she needs, but no one will stay
with 92% have left. Everybody knows whether you're Republican
or Democrat. It happens on both sides. Nancy mace, on the
Republican side, nobody will work for her. And there's a
reason why nobody will work for for Kamala Harris, who's the
Vice President of the United States.
Adam Curry: Hmm, why will no
John C Dvorak: Nancy mace? He says, brings a ride out because
she's one of the ones that had that got him ousted. He says,
Nancy Mace is a good example. On the Republican side, nobody will
work for her. That's odd. Wow. Well, maybe it's true. I don't
know Nancy mace. You know you've seen her before. She seemed
reasonable. I don't know, but there's definitely McCarthy is
out for blood, but He does it so solid because he's got a smile
on his face and he's just everything's matter of fact,
yeah,
Adam Curry: what's he doing? What is he doing? Is he still
doing?
John C Dvorak: I think he's trying to get a job in the Trump
administration
Unknown: for Trump,
Adam Curry: yeah. What's this? Uh, band C stuff. You know, my
ham, my ham, Funny Bone got tickled when I saw this weather
and band C. And like play band
John C Dvorak: C, weather and info. PBS include
Unknown: Marjorie Taylor green, the Republican from Georgia, who
claimed the federal government can control the weather. You
know, Charlie werthel of the Atlantic has a great piece where
John C Dvorak: he's now stuff. Clip. Now, this is about
Adam Curry: Helene Milton.
John C Dvorak: It's about the weather, about Nancy. This is
PBS you played in the last show. I was going to send you a note
about these clips and say, can you bring up some of those
clips, at least the key clip that you played, because what
you did, you we talked about this in the last show. Not this
is all new, but we talked about in the last show, about
controlling the weather. And you played a series of clips you
might be able to dig one of the two of one or two of the
important ones up where it's our government who has made the
claim that they can control the weather. And you had some clips
from, I think, the Johnson administration, or wherever they
were from, yes, that just kind of pounded this point home. But
yet, we listen to this PBS report, where this guy, this,
Adam Curry: would you like to hear the the Johnson clip? Yeah,
let's play
John C Dvorak: this is from Lyndon Johnson, back in the
Dayton,
Unknown: the foundation for the development of a weather
satellite that will permit man to determine the world's cloud
layer and ultimately to control the weather, and he who controls
the weather will control the world.
Adam Curry: The other clip I had was an overview of all the
experiments the government has done. And that was from France
24 it's a minute and a half. If you want to hear it, you don't
have to. That's fine.
John C Dvorak: We don't well, let you maybe you can decide or
after we play these clips. So I want to play these clips, these
two clips about the weather, and I forgot why I call them ban.
See, I think there's some other I forgot that otherwise, I would
have sent you this note, but they have gone nuts about this,
and because, because of Marjorie Taylor Greene, just offhandedly
saying, hey, yeah, this is going on which you proved in the last
show. But oh no, no, this is total denial. Now. This is bold
nuts.
Unknown: Marjorie Taylor green, the Republican from Georgia who
claimed the federal government can control the weather, Charlie
worth of the Atlantic has a great piece where he says, This
isn't just a misinformation crisis, it's something darker.
It's cultural assault on institutions and individuals
that operate in reality. How do you see this moment that we're
living in? Well,
one, let's just call it what it is. I'll call it what it is, not
just misinformation. And hold
John C Dvorak: on a second, stop B and C is Brooks and Capehart.
Adam Curry: That's funny. I look at your clip list and it says
band C. It says capital B, A, D, and then capital C. And part
John C Dvorak: of my codes, well, your code is,
Adam Curry: I'm like C band. I wonder what's going on with C
band. This could be some cool like, ham clip. No,
John C Dvorak: no, it's Brooks. I got punished Brooks. And yes,
we're reading into things Brooks and K hard. I have a bunch of
their clips. I'll play these, and then it gets a couple more.
They go off the deep end. And this is like, you know, oh, this
is lies. But you know, like I said, you already showed us that
this is all coming from, you know, the Democrats
Unknown: that we're living in. Well, one, let's just call it
what it is. I'll call it what it is, not just misinformation and
disinformation. It's lies, lies that are putting people's lives
at risk, that is tearing tearing apart communities, people who
are in in danger, who are at the most stressful point in their
lives, trying to outrun a hurricane and being told that
your government is not where you pay taxes, your government is
not coming to help you, Your government is giving money away
to other people, all lies. And what makes this even more
reprehensible is that Republicans, who know better,
are not speaking out in force and en masse to say this is not
right. This is wrong. President Trump, please stop doing what
you're doing. I give the governors of Georgia and Florida
and Florida, the Republican governors of Georgia and
Florida, credit for saying, you know, the Biden administration
has been very helpful, pushing back against the misinformation.
But I want Republicans to be more direct in saying, Who's
feeding the who's feeding the disinformation and the lies and
hold that person accountable.
John C Dvorak: I'd like to hold on a second the governors of
Georgia and Florida as DeSantis and the other guy, Kemp, I guess
they they weren't pushing back on disinformation. They said
they were just cooperating with Biden. Or when were they pushing
back on disinformation? I give them credit for pushing back on
disinformation. What's he talking about? I
Adam Curry: don't know, but I need to add one other thing to
the weather modification that they are capable of doing, and
we've discussed this as far. Back as episode, I think, 200
even, maybe even earlier than that. And this was the testimony
in 1997 by Secretary of Defense, William Cohen. And it's and it's
on the on the Defense Department's website, and I'm
just going to so the question was, let me ask you specifically
about last week's scare here in Washington, what we might have
learned from how prepared we prepared we ought to deal with
B'nai Brith, I guess, some terrorist threat. And then he
says he got, there's a whole bunch of stuffs, a bunch of
precursor the same thing is true about this. So this is the
Secretary of Defense in 1997 the same thing is true about just
the false scare of threat using some kinds of chemical weapon or
a biological one. There are some reports, for example, that some
countries have been trying to construct something like an
Ebola virus, and that would be a very dangerous phenomenon, to
say the least. Aven Toffler has written about this in terms of
some scientists. Alvin Toffler has written about this in terms
of some scientists in their laboratories trying to devise
certain types of pathogens that will be specific so they could
just eliminate certain ethnic groups and races. Sound
familiar. And others are designing, and others are
designing sorts of engineering, some sort of insects that can
destroy specific crops. Others are engaging even in an eco type
of terrorism, whereby they can alter the climate, set off
earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of
electromagnetic waves. So come on. I mean, it's very valid to
say they have this capability. They've certainly, they have
certainly talked about it. Yeah. So
John C Dvorak: Marjorie Taylor green isn't nuts. Well, she just
does her research.
Adam Curry: She's a little out there, little kooky boy. She
John C Dvorak: okay. She is nuts or not. But besides the point,
you can't condemn her for this comment, because this week, have
it backed up, and it's been backed up by our own government.
I mean, are you kidding me? This K part guy is full of it and and
he could condemns everybody and calls lies, lies, lies. Let's
Play Part Two. Is
Unknown: there any way back from this when we have this ecosystem
that exists where people actually believe that the
federal government can control the weather, something as
nonsensical is that seriously? I mean an indictment of our time.
I know each party has to police their own side, and Republicans
have failed that that big time, since 2015 the larger question
for me is the rise of Donald Trump shows it's an advantage to
have no conscience.
Adam Curry: Now, what? What do you say at the end? No,
John C Dvorak: it's an advantage to have no conscience. What I'm
so Donald Trump is just a what he's suggesting is his
sociopath. Boob, yes, no, that's no conscience. Is like a
psychopath? Well, that's what he suggested, basically what he
said. I'm
Adam Curry: glad I brought that transcript back, because I had
either long since forgotten that they were talking about
pathogens that could target specific DNA. Hello, I did it
again. I'm gonna keep doing it now. Hello. I don't know what
John C Dvorak: you can do about it. This is the news. This is
your earmark. That's right.
Adam Curry: It's not that Adam curry mark. Adam curry. The
Hello Guy is I'm gonna have stickers, posters. Gonna have
that mate. So while we're on the topic of Donald Trump being a
horrible man with no conscience, Lawrence O'Donnell could not
resist and brought back an old classic, where
Unknown: is the humanity? Where is the humanity? Where is the
humanity? Donald Trump seems to have none. He
Adam Curry: has no humanity, not a shred of humanity.
Unknown: To have none, not a shred of humanity. Donald Trump
said today that he believes that immigrants to this country are
genetically inferior human beings. Exactly what Adolf
Hitler, well, he's
Adam Curry: gonna, oh, Lawrence. Lawrence brought receipts. Man,
he didn't say that. No, no, wait for it. It's coming. It's
coming. But I just have to stop, and he's bringing back the
Hitler meme, and he's peace. Trump did not say this. Trump
said something else. And, oh, wait, did
John C Dvorak: he just say? He just said? He said, no liar,
yeah. He
Unknown: believes that immigrants to this country are
genetically inferior human beings. That is exactly what
Adolf Hitler, immigrants,
Adam Curry: by all immigrants, immigrants everywhere, legal
immigrants, illegal immigrants, newcomers, immigrants, just
immigrants. Tony with the deli on the corner, he's an
immigrant, genetically inferior. Thought and
Unknown: said Donald Trump doesn't seem to remember that he
is a descendant of immigrants to this country, including his
mother, who was an immigrant. He misses
Adam Curry: a big opportunity here to say that his father also
comes from immigrants, and he's German, so maybe there's some
Adolf blood in him. He missed that. Missed that. Laura, I'm
surprised.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you know what danger brought this, this
call back up. Up. I'm surprised the drum thing hasn't showed up.
Again coming. I'm
Adam Curry: sure it's coming. Let's continue. Two
Unknown: of the mothers of Donald Trump's children are
immigrants. Donald Trump, yeah,
Adam Curry: but they're hot. Okay, so hot immigrants is not
the same. Look at the genes. Look at the genes. They look
fine. Said today, quote, we've
Unknown: got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.
Adam Curry: There it is. That's what the whole deduction, the
whole deconstruction, is from that quote, we've got a lot of
bad genes. Hey, he could have meant Levi's.
John C Dvorak: That's what I was thinking about. Levi's for him,
Adam Curry: what was the what was the bag we got? Hey, man,
the inner city got some bag bad genes going on. What was the
what was the famous one with the V on the back? Was it
Vanderbilt? Vanderbilt? And also, wasn't there Sergio
Valenti or something? Was there's
John C Dvorak: a bunch of these jeans guys, a lot of jeans.
Unknown: And again, that is almost word for word, what Adolf
Hitler was saying in the 1930s before he started World War Two,
and before he started
John C Dvorak: to speak English. So how could it be word for
word,
Unknown: and before he started an organized extermination
prodash?
Adam Curry: That's it. Thank you. Jordan,
Unknown: of the Jewish people, in which Adolf Hitler's ambition
was to execute every living Jewish person he could find
anywhere in Europe. Because, among other things, he believed
the bad genes theory that Donald Trump believes and spews in his
views madness and relentlessness.
Adam Curry: Madness, poisonous madness, relentless or No,
Unknown: madness and relentless stupidity at 78 years old, no,
we don't know how much longer the world will have to endure
Donald Trump's Hitlerian rant. Hitlerian, we should expect that
for every year Donald Trump has left, he is going to get worse.
It's
Adam Curry: only gonna get worse. It's only downhill from
here. Lawrence told you, so Wow,
John C Dvorak: God, this guy is disgusting. Oh, he's great. He's
great. I'm gonna go back to Brooks and Cape I want to play.
This is the Brooks and Cape one, and this has got a little gotcha
in here, and I want this is again, we have our guy, the
black ghost, yes, who's just drops a little bomb in here.
Never explains it. I don't. And this is very common on this PBS.
PBS News Hour has, deter has, has deteriorated to such an
extremist embarrassment to journalism, former President
Unknown: Barack Obama hits the campaign trail for Kamala Harris
as the race for the White House enters its final weeks and
Donald Trump unleashes a torrent of false statements and
distortions about the federal response to hurricanes Milton
Colleen. Let's turn now to the analysis of Brooks and Capehart.
That's New York Times columnist David Brooks and Jonathan
Capehart, associate editor for The Washington Post. This
Adam Curry: is where in my house, this is where we switch
the channel. Wait, this is we switch the channel. I'm just
saying, Wait, where's
John C Dvorak: the torrent of falsehoods and falls? What is
specifically, is he talking about? He never says.
Adam Curry: It's a torrent. It's a tidal wave. It's a tsunami of
lies. And
Unknown: Jonathan Capehart, associate editor for The
Washington Post, great to see you both. So the polls show a
race that is as tight as ever, 25 days out from election day,
and Democrats are doing what Democrats do best. They are
worrying. They are fretting that Kamala Harris's early momentum
might have stalled. I want to start with your assessments of
the race. But David, you first, has there been a vibe shift?
Adam Curry: Oh, a vibe shift? Oh, oh,
John C Dvorak: well, I'm still waiting for the torrent of lies.
What were they?
Adam Curry: I'm already past it. I'm past it already. You know,
it's bad. Well,
John C Dvorak: you get passed up faster than I do. Bad
Adam Curry: genes. Well, you're, you're a PBS guy from the from
old school. You know, you used to love PBS. You probably
depended on them and thought they were, hey, believe me,
uncle Don and Aunt Meg, every night they would watch the PBS
NewsHour. They did not watch NBC, ABC, CBS, the spooks of
this world. They watch PBS NewsHour. That's a that's a
little inside info into the world of spookidge. Yeah. Well,
that
John C Dvorak: doesn't surprise me. They
Adam Curry: used to all read Newsweek. I don't think they
read Newsweek anymore. No Newsweek
John C Dvorak: is done. It's not one by Salesforce. Guy from
Adam Curry: Christmas I get a Newsweek subscription from Don
and Meg,
John C Dvorak: there's coded messages in there, obviously,
yeah,
Adam Curry: and it did not work, because I was more interested in
boys life. I don't know why not what? What I was boys life, the
magazine, boy's life. You never you know doing all about boy's
life, isn't that a boy scout? Drill, yeah, I was way into Boy
Scouts and camping. And were you in a boy scouts? I was a sea
scout in Holland, actually. Oh, a
John C Dvorak: sea scout. Oh, they used to have that in the
United States. I don't remember what happened to the sea scouts.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: you could, you did not lots of knots. I could learn
how to sail and learn how to sail. I can sail. I can, I can
do lots of knots. Yes,
John C Dvorak: knots. You can do a lot of knots, earning more and
more today. What I can
Adam Curry: do a slip knot in one second.
John C Dvorak: There's, that's special technique, great. Okay,
so where were we on these three
Adam Curry: clips? We're number two. Okay, go,
Unknown: has there been a vibe shift? Yeah.
I mean, her momentum has stalled. She was going going up,
then she seemed to plateau. And I would say, if you look at the
polling movement in the last week, Trump is doing slightly
better, and I should emphasize slightly, and so he's doing a
lot better in the Sun Belt, swing states, in the industrial
Midwest, he's doing slightly better, but again, very slight.
And so you'd have to think, you know, when I look at the the
results right now, where we are. And of course, it could all
change. I do think the decision not to pick Josh up here on
Pennsylvania, we could look back on that as a major mistake.
Second, I think she made a mistake this week by not
breaking with Joe Biden on a bunch of major issues. She was
asked twice on two different shows, is anything really
different? And she basically said no, and this is a country
where, what, 28% think the country's on the wrong track.
Joe Biden has like, a 41% approval. It seems to me,
elementary, active politics. I my own person. This is how I
would change. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I think we both said, that's where she lost the
election, right there on that on the view, by going, Well,
John C Dvorak: you said it first, and I will give you
credit, you said it immediately that this is the election. It's
right there on the
Adam Curry: view. You see what I do. I bring you into it, and I
say, we know
John C Dvorak: you do. That was very I thought that was nice of
you. But I will write back Indian, but I'll push the other
way and say, You, nailed it right away. Indian giver, I give
it. I mean, I have, uh, I thought about it, but I didn't
make it, uh, determining at the level that you did. So as you
you just have to take credit for that. Yeah, I Okay, I'll take
it. And I think you're right. I think you're dead, right. I
think that's the stupidest thing she could send. She was given a
second opportunity. Did the same thing. She just couldn't do it.
She couldn't
Adam Curry: what was the second opportunity? Oh,
John C Dvorak: she was asked the same question by by Colbert, and
Adam Curry: she did it, but she didn't have this goofy look on
her face. Did she? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: she that's the look she has. That's her look.
She's got a goofy look. Yeah, no, she dropped the ball twice,
just what Brook said. Now, k part, of course, of these clips,
thank God, Joe. You know, he's a he. Yes, he is the, oh, you
know, can almost the greatest thing since sliced bread. And,
you know, black males should all vote for and everything you said
is wrong, because if it's disparaging about Kamala, she's
the greatest. And so he defends her. Jonathan, how
Unknown: do you see it? The race today is the race as it was when
she became the top of the ticket, as it was the night of
the dreadful debate on June 27 as it was in the months before
that. It's close, it's always going to be close. It was always
going to be close. And the fact that Democrats are panicking,
I'm not shocked by it. I'm annoyed by it, because, you
know, you could do all the panicking you want, but it's
going to come true if folks don't get out and vote. And I
don't know if I agree with there's been a vibe shift, and
you know the she's played time and all of this other stuff, I
think that what's happening is reality is setting in. It's
going to be close in this idea that she made a mistake in not
picking Governor Shapiro. I just have to disagree with that
strenuously, strenuously, she picked Governor Walz. I think
Governor Walz is is a terrific candidate, and I think what she
needs to be doing in this in this campaign, is continuing to
go out there and do what she's done all week this week, going
out and talking to people on the various shows and podcasts and
everything, and telling showing them who she is and what she's
for. And what I found interesting is, of all the
interviews, Howard Stern interview was terrific. But I
also thought her interview with Stephen Colbert was was very
good. And I was thinking of your your column, David, in that in
watching her in this interview with a comedian, you, I felt
like you actually got to see the real Kamala Harris, personality
wise, but also what she stands for, what she believes in, in a
manner that is more comfortable than when she's sitting before
60 minutes. Yeah,
Adam Curry: this so now they're in a circular jerk, a THON,
oops. Worry about that, because if you ask anybody, what do you
think of the Kamala interview? Do they say, Oh, you mean 60
minutes? No. Do they say, Oh, you mean on Colbert show, who
has, I think, 100 like 1.2 million viewers? No. Do you know
what they all say, Oh, you mean on caller daddy. These guys have
no idea how over they are, caller they are, yeah, that's
what that's all people are talking about, is the call,
caller dad, and they probably didn't view it. They just think,
oh, call her daddy. Oh, she must be talking about her specialty.
John C Dvorak: Well, you gotta bring that up. I do have one
screwball clip. This is a from the Gutfeld show. And this is
the
Adam Curry: John's evening. While viewing, we go from PBS
news hour to the there's no NTD, I don't want to happen. And then
we go to Gutfeld, yes. And then this
John C Dvorak: is Gutfeld telling a joke that I thought
was funny. And this is about the porn for Harris. People do the
porn. You know, the porns now the porn people are for Harris
and gutfield mocks it in a, I thought, a amusing way, the porn
Unknown: industry has launched a $100,000 ad campaign in support
of Kamala Harris. Makes sense. They're both known for sucking,
Adam Curry: yeah, so I saw, I saw that. I'm sorry. No, it's
okay. I saw the I saw the campaign, and it's very tired,
because it's all about Project 2025 like, if Donald Trump is
elected, Project 2025 will outlaw porn and
John C Dvorak: Oh, is that? Oh, yeah. I was unaware of the of
the actual campaign. I didn't
Adam Curry: even clip it. It was so dumb, like, and I saw it last
week. Okay,
John C Dvorak: that's what. This is a protection mode ad. Because
they think this project 2025, thing. And somebody pointed out
that they that the Heritage Foundation has been doing this
stuff since the 80s, or not 90s. What they do? Yeah, and then all
of a sudden it's been turned into a campaign point of
information. Claiborne.
Adam Curry: Claiborne, on CNN, Clyburn. Clyburn, yeah, he's
the, he's the kingmaker. He's the kingmaker. You know, you get
clyborne. He, he made Joe the, the candidate. I mean, has a lot
of power. He comes on whatever. Dana, what's her face? Horse
face on CNN. Dana Bash, I guess she was sorry. Dana Donna Donna
Donna, and, and
John C Dvorak: Don Yeah, Donna Donna, Dana Donna Donna Donna
Donna Donna.
Adam Curry: And she says, Well, are you worried? He says, I am
worried. And, but people need to know that if you elect Donald
Trump, it's going to be Jim Crow 2.0 with Project 2025 like, holy
crap. That's all they have. That's all they have nothing.
They have nothing left nothing. They have nothing to say. And of
course, it's not a close race, because America doesn't elect
presidents like Kamala Harris, it just not gonna happen, not
because she's a woman, not because she's black, it's just,
she's just doesn't have the profile. Doesn't have the
profile. Trump is a little old to have the profile, but you
know, you get shot in the air. You do the fight, fight, fight.
That's the profile of America. And then you want to talk some
gaffes. Let's just run through a quick couple of gap. Camela
gaffs, this is the first one.
Unknown: And I also want to thank your father, Vice
President Dick Cheney, for his support, okay, and what he has
done to serve our country. Every endorsement matters, and this
endorsement matters a great deal Liz, and it carries the special,
special significance
Adam Curry: what he has done for our country, responsible for the
death of American servicemen and women in a needless war for oil
and nonsense. That's who you're thanking, Madam, Madam Vice
President. And then this was kind of, this was kind of funny.
This was, oh, wait, no, wait, no, this. This is before I get
to the funny. This is the latest this. Okay, we've got him now.
Now we've got him. I've got a plan. We had a meeting. All
right. Time to do this. Madam, Vice President,
Unknown: Vice President Kamala Harris is in excellent health.
That's according to a letter by her White House doctor,
she possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to
successfully execute the duties of the presidency,
Adam Curry: which, looking at Joe Biden, isn't much
Unknown: despite no law compelling candidates to do so.
Harris took aim at former President Donald Trump for not
providing. His own health history. So today,
I released my medical records, as I believe every candidate for
President of the United States except Donald Trump in this
election cycle, and it's just a further example of his lack of
transparency.
There is very little known about Trump's health This includes,
after an attempted assassination in July in which a bullet grazed
his ear, his team has insisted the 78 year old is fit for the
job without providing further medical information.
Adam Curry: You get the idea? So, oh, I know we're gonna do
you can hear all. You can just see the memos. It's time to
attack Trump on his on his age. He's demented. He's demented.
And Trump demented part kills. Trump falls for it. He's like,
no, no. It's called the weave. They people think I'm that I
served that too. Is I'm genius at the weave. I'm great at the
wheel. We did the What's it? The flagrant podcast with that
comedian with the mustache, forget his name, which is, it's
not a podcast I watch, but he was really personable, really
good, very funny, you know, endearing at times. He talked
about his kids and about being a father, you know? And then when
he, of course, you don't see that, because it's on a podcast.
And then all we get is, I got the weave, and we and then the
last one for, you
John C Dvorak: know that, you know that podcast he was on with
those four guys for comics. That's the one, yeah, did with
the weave. That's where he came with the weave. Oh, he
Adam Curry: mentioned the weave before, but he went into detail
on the weave. He
John C Dvorak: that was, I don't have a clip of it, but I was
reading about how one of the news organizations said that,
oh, Trump tried to explain how he he's scatterbrained, and they
all laughed at him. No,
Adam Curry: no, no,
John C Dvorak: I know it's what I mean. Is just like, what? How
are you interpreting this, any of this stuff, these people are
terrible. They're terrible.
Adam Curry: I have a clip, actually from that, and he said
something which I was I found questionable. She
Unknown: is an add on that I'm against IVF. She knows it's
untrue. She is an add on that bloodbath. Bloodbath means,
like, blood. That's not what I was talking about the automobile
industry. It's going to be a bloodbath in the automobile
we're going to lose all our business. That's what's
referring to when they do things and they do a lot, but I always
refer them back to the simplicity of McDonald's. She
lied about McDonald's. She lied about many things, and she's a
liar. There should be some kind of a rule when they know it's a
lie, you can't do a commercial on it.
Adam Curry: Okay? It sounds like censorship to me. This would be
some kind of a rule about it. Now we're gonna have to vet.
Yeah, you're right. I
John C Dvorak: think that was a blunder. And
Adam Curry: I think that that, to me, was blunderish. Yes, for
sure, and then because
John C Dvorak: it's just falling in line with the other side. So
Adam Curry: then Madam Vice President is on a zoom call with
FEMA, and she's sitting at her desk. Oh yeah, this
John C Dvorak: is a good one. I'm surprised you clipped it
because
Adam Curry: I only clipped it because Sky News, Australia, you
know the
John C Dvorak: woman and her buddies, everybody? Yeah, very
funny stuff. Sky News, Australia,
Adam Curry: you got enough problems of your own, but okay,
we'll take this one now I don't think, I don't think they're
right, and I think the way it played on social media was
incorrect, but it was funny. Kamala
Unknown: Harris made a bizarre gaff during an FEMA hurricane
Milton emergency update broadcast which sent social
media into a spin, the Vice President received a briefing
from disaster relief authorities on preparations and weather
forecasts for the hurricane. During the video briefing,
Kamala Harris could be seen covering her mouth, appearing to
relay a message to someone else through a microphone and E
piece, the VP mumbled, it's a live broadcast. Behind her hands
flood. We really got to watch those those areas in those
communities, so it takes quite a while for that water to drain.
Thank you very much. She
then immediately took her hands away from her mouth and asked a
question.
Hey, Ken, I have a question for you. You mentioned words matter,
and I know there's a lot of media following this briefing.
Commentators immediately blasted the VP, accusing her of being
fed questions by AIDS through an earpiece. Commentator Charlie
Kirk said, busted. Carmela is heard telling an aide who is
feeding her questions that it's a live broadcast. She then asks
the question she was presumably given. When you realize what a
fraud this woman is, you can't unsee it. So,
Adam Curry: so, yes, uh. Uh, if you really look at the video,
which I did in my fork, on my 4k screen, she's looking off to the
side of the camera, and someone's motioning to her, or
maybe even holding up a sign for all I know, I'm not, I'm not
into the Oh, she had a hidden earpiece. I just, I mean, get
over yourselves. Twitter. Get over yourselves on the hidden
earpiece thing? No, she's she's just that dumb and how they
John C Dvorak: slide notes to you anyway. I mean, you guys, of
course, they do it when you can actually see them. Yes,
Adam Curry: but this was the week where she also was doing a
town hall with a teleprompter. And, you know, last week the
teleprompter went out and she had a brain freeze. I mean, oh,
John C Dvorak: that was, that's the clip. That's, that's kind of
a amusing.
Adam Curry: I don't have it. I don't have Yeah, well,
John C Dvorak: I can just, do you have to do clip? No, I don't
have it. I don't have it either, but I can just say what it was.
She says, We have 32 days until the election, and then the
teleprompter goes out. And then she looks around two days, 32 we
got 32 days. Two or three times. It's like an idiot. We couldn't
even, I mean, she can't even break the third, fourth wall,
whatever you call it, and say, Hey, teleprompter went out.
Yeah, so I don't really have anything else to say right now,
Adam Curry: but it is amazing. I
John C Dvorak: mean, you do a lot of things when a
teleprompter goes out. I remember the when I was on Tech
TV. Here we go. Okay,
Adam Curry: when you do this, I grab my coffee, I spin the
stool, I cross my legs
John C Dvorak: that long? No, no, no, no, no.
Adam Curry: Hey, people come for the media deconstruction. It is
a fact they stay for John's story time. Yes, many
John C Dvorak: stories. So I'm on Tech TV, and this is the
first time he said, because I was a prompter jockey on that
show, because I had, I had different writers that wrote my
copy. But once Jennifer Lavin, my producer, started writing my
copy, she wrote in my voice, and it was perfect. It was better
than anything I could ad lib. That's what you that's what
Adam Curry: you want. You want someone. You want someone who
can write for your prompter and someone who can roll your
prompter. Yes, you
John C Dvorak: want a good person. This is usually a
different person, yeah, but you want somebody that rolls the
prompter and they pay attention to what you're saying and then
they saying, and then they roll the prompter, but, but when you
get someone who can write your copy, I mean, I once what you
hear about people say, Well, I write my own copy. I write my
own prompter copy. I'm always thinking, why are you an idiot
to do that's dumb. That is dumb because it's like a skill. It's
a real skill to write prompter copy. It is, it is. And so you
find someone who can do it. So they write this prompter copy,
and I got and it on when you're doing a live read, they give you
a the sheets with the prompter copy on it, the blue sheets,
usually, and then the prompter copy, and you read from the
prompter and you you're supposed to do something I've now, I got
pretty good at reading the prompter, but I never was good
at doing the switchover, because I've never had to do it. And so,
so the prompter and one once in four years, four years, daily,
boom, prompter goes out, yeah. And I'm, it's live, and I'm
going, oh, so I look down and I'm not doing what you see these
guys do, which is what you're supposed to do, is as you read
from the prompt you're flipping pages, yes, so you're at the
point where you can just now you go from the prompter and you
start reading the copy that is written out. That was the
prompter copy. I didn't do that. I I didn't have to. I wasn't on
the right page. It was a complete choke. It was like, oh
my. And it was just, I'm blah blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm
like, drop. I'm just blowing it. Let it. It was terrible. It was
the worst experience in my all the TV I ever done, because I
was not prepared for it, because it never happened to me before.
And it turns out a lot of times, I think you get until it
happens, you think you know what you're doing, until something
goes astray. And this is what happened with camelin, when her
prompter went out, she didn't know what to do. And I had felt
kind of sorry for it, because it happened to me after that
prompter, like, a year later, went out again. But I had,
because of that mishap, I had no problem going to the sheets, but
it was like it was the worst experience. It's just terrible,
and You bumbling around, and you know, it was even when the
lights went out one time, it was easier to deal with. I'm so old,
Adam Curry: and I've told the story before, but I'll do it
again at MTV. The way it worked is, now I didn't have a lot of
prompt or copy, but for shows like the top 20 video countdown,
and we did the week in rock, it was scripted. And the way it
worked back in the day, this is when the green screen was blue
screen. We've talked about that. It was chroma key blue. Before
it was green. That's how old we are. This was a conveyor belt
that had a camera pointed down on the conveyor belt, and that
camera was the teleprompter camera. And so they would send
me the scripts at night with a with a car service, because the
fax machine would just be one long roll of fax that was
completely unusable. This is before fax machines would cut
the roll. It was the thermal paper, and so they put the
sheets under, and then they would roll. They would, you
know, with the controller, they would roll this copy, which was
just printed out from the Wang. Is anybody getting the age here,
the way, the word process the Wang, yeah. And they would roll
it underneath. And the speed was variable. And we had two
prompter people. One was John, and I don't know if he's alive
anymore, and he was a challenged guy, but he was, he was one of
these autistic people that was so focused, and he was so good.
And sometimes there would be a stand in for him, and I forget
her name, if it was Michelle, or I know she was known for other
assets. She was like, everyone's like, Yeah, let's hang out and
play foosball with the Michelle. How, what was her name and but
she couldn't do it. And it was just, oh no. Some people can't.
She had the wrong she would, wouldn't keep the right pace and
everything horrible. Him anyway,
John C Dvorak: that would just add on to that. So I would also
watch other people do their work. And Leo Laporte was the
more interesting of the group, because Leo and this. I never
did this. I did a little bit, but rarely Leo would wander off
the prompter
Adam Curry: that can do that too. I can wander off the
prompter and come back. But the prompter guy
John C Dvorak: would go nuts, because it's like, what am I
doing? You know, I they don't know what to do. No.
Adam Curry: John the artist could do it. He got it. He would
wait for,
John C Dvorak: well, that's a rare bird, because most people,
when Leo would go off, he was yakking about something or
others not on the prompter, just going and going and going. And
this guy didn't know where to go forward or backwards, or where
was he it was. And the thing would, it would it was hilarious
to watch, and I would sometimes think of Leo did it on purpose.
But maybe I rarely did that
Adam Curry: before we take a break. I just wanted to salute
our many producers of no agenda nation. They are everywhere. I
want to talk about Helene and Milton later, because I have
some boots on the ground reports regarding climate change and
also regarding the climate haven that was Asheville we just have,
and this is part of the time. We'll talk about them at the
time talents and treasure that we want in this value for value
podcast where, obviously we need treasure, we appreciate people
who support us financially. But there is going to be a topic
that you know about because it's your job. You're an expert at
it. It may be shoeing horses for all I know, but it is your
responsibility to reach out to us and say, Hey, I happen to
like a good example is, well, first of all, thank you.
Everybody who said Tina Roberts was in Mesa, Colorado, and not
Arizona.
John C Dvorak: We got a lot of that. I also got, I also got a
lot of notes on the X rays, moving the meteor law and very
good ones from people. The last one, which I you weren't copied
on, just came in this morning was this guy has all the
formulas, and he says it would take a million years to move
this thing. With these X rays, you can't get enough X rays. We
Adam Curry: have a lot of smart people, and I, like the
anonymous from Ireland, I sell Q, PCR instruments, which were
used to test for SARS, covid, too. Oh, this, yeah, we
John C Dvorak: have to read that note just
Adam Curry: listening to the latest podcast regarding Trump
sending equipment to Putin back then, the exact same instruments
Trump had access to were sold in Russia, whether our equipment or
other brands, if Putin wanted one, he could have gotten one
with no bother within Russia. So I call complete BS, of course,
since the war, most companies, including ours, have stopped
doing business. There some lovely Russian people who I'd
met on many an occasion are out of a job. So Woodward's book is,
of course, bullcrap. Saying, Oh, Trump sent over equipment. No,
you could just
John C Dvorak: don't say anything, because they'll get
mad at you. Yeah,
Adam Curry: and they're right. Vlad, exactly. So a lot of
people sent me this, and I love it when we have our men and
women who who are in uniform, who serve America, the real
people who serve America overseas and at home, when they
let everybody know it's all right, we got your back. Hey,
you crash in the ocean during a storm and you're floating on
your plane. We're going to pick you up. I'm with the Coast
Guard, and I'm going to let you know that I'm a part of no
agenda nation.
Unknown: Lieutenant Chad Paulson was involved in that rescue, and
he joins me now. What happened here, sir?
In the morning?
Thank you for having me
Adam Curry: in the morning. Nothing's better than that.
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: in the morning. And it's funny, it just blows by
people, because for one thing, it makes no sense. It's the best
part. But it's like, well, maybe that's a greeting. I'm not sure.
Yeah. Anyway. Now the cool thing is, when, when somebody says, in
the morning, the other person says in the morning, well,
Adam Curry: that's, that's what you hear on the in aviation. You
hear the pilot, and then sometimes you'll hear the tower
reply, because this is what it is the smartest people who make
the world run listen to this podcast. That's just the fact I
don't know, you know, I don't know any other and it's also
because we don't insult them by, you know, running, would we
running ads and telling, yeah, well, that is insult. Premium
content is behind the fire wall. Premium content, that's my pet
peeve. Instead, I'd like to say, in the morning to you, the man
who put the sea and the new screw. Say hello to my friend on
the other end, the one and only Mr.
John C Dvorak: John C's round ship. See boosts at the ground,
feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the Dames and
nights out there. All right, running up cotton. Do a
Unknown: little count. Let me see. Money, 2204
Adam Curry: at the peak, trolls listening in
John C Dvorak: what was the number? Again, 2204, low. It's
Adam Curry: low by 200 All right. Well, we're glad to have
you trolls here anyway. Thank you very much for listening at
no agenda. Dot, stream or trollroom.io which is great
because the trolls get in there and just roll with it. But
without those trolls, I would have never come up with Jordache
jeans. And there's some other insults that were in there,
which is always fun. It's always it's not distracting
Unknown: at all. We want to say something
Adam Curry: DoorDash Jordache. Nothing becomes between me and
my jaw dashes. I think that was the tagline. Oh, yeah, yeah. So
the trolls can also listen on a modern podcast app, which,
believe me, you're gonna want to have it the last show I people
were so mad about what? Apple has an update. It's been three
hours, but that that's apple. That's the whole point. We use
this pod ping technology, which is a true technology, which is
part of podcasting 2.0 and the modern apps, they update within
90 seconds. So when we publish, boom, you got it. You have to
sit around. And it was the best commercial for the modern
podcast apps. Thank you. Apple people are like, you know, I got
to get off this thing, because you're behind the times. And in
addition to that, you also do not get an alert on Apple or
Spotify. We're not on Spotify at all, or on Amazon or any other
app that your YouTube. You don't get an alert when we go live.
No, you get that on the modern podcast app, the one where
you're actually subscribing to the podcast. So if you can't
listen live, no problem. We'll alert you as soon as it's
published, and that's usually within 30 minutes of finishing
up the show. Podcastapps.com we explain the whole point of time
talent and treasure, and we do have some extra talented people
known as the no agenda artists who are busy during the live
stream, coming up with artwork that we can use, just for the
for the album artwork on the show, which we've been doing way
before, even, you know, it's been, it's been a standard
forever Apple finally caught up a few years back. But we've been
doing this forever, and it's great because you can use it,
you know, when we post the show and people promote the show, and
it's interesting. And these artists are Dutch masters, so
it's always fun to see what they come up with. And we want to
thank now, thank you also to all of our artists. This was the
multiple tornadoes with the cheesecake butt on the beach,
which you said, I like it. I said, Okay. And I got several, I
received several messages of people saying, best artwork all
year. So,
John C Dvorak: so when you blow it up and on like Twitter, it's
a good piece.
Adam Curry: It's gorgeous. It is now Tom Stoffel,
John C Dvorak: there's a cheesecake. It was overall. It
wasn't just the butt, no nice legs, you know, just the back of
someone. Yeah, this is a good picture. We I, I'm like, an
advocate of cheesecake, because it's attractive, and that's what
you put it there for. Even though you have a bunch of
people, you know, you have some certain groups of people that
think it's exploitative. It's not who will make Who are we
exploiting here? This is AI art. We're not exploiting anybody.
No, who's being exploited specifically. And
Adam Curry: I'm all for it. Now. I want all as much slop to flow
through the stairwells of the digital Tower of Babel as
possible. To make it unusable and unattractive. So keep it up,
people. This is good. I'm now all for it. More more more the
tan Stoffel, T, A, N, S, T, A, A, F, l, all uppercase. Thank
you to the multitude of producers who said, um, dude,
that's from science fiction author Robert Heinlein, and it's
a theme in his writings. It is an acronym. There ain't no such
thing as a free lunch. And we didn't catch that,
John C Dvorak: no, not at all, but we
Adam Curry: did now, and well, thank you. There ain't no such
thing as a free lunch. From now on, we'll just be tons. Stoffel,
can't help it. We appreciate it. That was, it was a great piece.
It really was. It worked out well. We thought it was fun. You
know, I was reading, there was an interesting article on a
second. There was a Dutch study that was done. Let me see, do I
have it here? Yes. Study shows real art stimulates the brain
more than a copy. And so, and the reason real art, so actual
art stimulates the brain more than a
John C Dvorak: copy, it's a copy. What? How does he define a
copy?
Adam Curry: Scientists in the Netherlands prove that
experiencing the real art in person stimulates the brain 10
times more than viewing a reproduced image. And so they
took all these great Dutch masters from no agenda, Art
Generator. But also, you know, Vermeer and Van Gogh, Vermeer is
the one that they show in this article, which is, you know, the
milkmaid, girl with her head turned back, and so they, they
hooked a bunch of people up to brain brain wave. The girl with
the pearl earring, that's the one they they hooked up a bunch
of people to brainwave machines. And when you're looking at the
actual art live in the museum, your brain is stimulated 10
times more than looking at a copy, a reproduction of it in
the museum, on the wall than the original, which I think is
fascinating. Did
John C Dvorak: they put a reproduction up on the wall in
the museum? Yes, they did. They did. They did. Now that, which
brings us to another interesting factoid. What about the artists?
I'm not sure Vermeer was one of them, but most artists,
Velasquez for sure, uh, they had a team of people, and they would
do a portrait of somebody. Usually it was somebody in the
royal family, and they would be copies. May hand it off. They
have five copies, and they were all identical.
Adam Curry: Well that that they did not study,
John C Dvorak: no because that would be the same. Maybe it
should be the same because the artist and the and the and the
and the mentees, the proteges who did the same exact pieces,
they were taught by the same artists, and the brush strokes
were similar. Everything was the same, and they make these
copies. There's, there's plenty of examples around the museums
of the world where where a piece exists in three museums at the
same time, and they're all original. How does that work so?
Adam Curry: Well, probably the same. I would say that those
originals it. I think the point is between a an original piece
of art versus the poster. The volunteers brain waves and eye
movements were measured and analyzed. The researchers found
that, compared to reproductions, real art evokes a much stronger
positive response in the precuneus, which is the part of
the brain responsible for personal identity, memory and
consciousness, which kind of brings me to the point that
would this, I'd like to know is, does AI art have less of a
response than original art, even though now that would be worth
studying. That's the I'm I've already read
John C Dvorak: some of the art that we've we've put up, which
is a much AI art. Yes, to that, I much be a much
Adam Curry: be forgotten.
John C Dvorak: For example, this particular piece by scaramonga,
who I don't know why he's submitting anything, because he
hates us.
Adam Curry: There's another clip being made. Yes,
John C Dvorak: there is a piece. I mean, this is a piece that is
quite striking when you see it, uh, especially blowed up. And I
it has a it has an effect. So I don't know,
Adam Curry: is this some? Is this something that's new,
that's up? No,
John C Dvorak: the his piece, this piece we're talking about?
No, the piece with the tornadoes, that was not
Adam Curry: Scaramanga. Oh, that was Scaramanga, yeah, I
miscredited him. Yes. Well, I
John C Dvorak: didn't know you miscredited. I
Adam Curry: didn't know. That's just my mistake. I
John C Dvorak: missed. Well, that's, you know, it doesn't
like you, so
Adam Curry: loves me. This is this
John C Dvorak: very these, some of these pieces have been quite
spectacular. This,
Adam Curry: this girl is the only. AI girl he has, he's the
same girl, yeah? Well, this
John C Dvorak: yes, these guys, they have their, theirs, with
their girl. That's, yeah, he has, yeah, there's a number, a
couple artists have a girl and they keep using her, yeah, yeah,
yeah. It's, it's kind of perverted. Do you think?
Adam Curry: Thank you to all of the artists who submitted art.
We appreciate it. Everyone, everyone does tries, and
everyone has an equal shot. And of course, we're happy to
critique wherever necessary. There really wasn't all that
much. I kind of liked Dr Scott had a hurricane buttons with
tsunamis, but compared to the Scaramanga piece, I mean, it
was, it was just a that was a work of art. It was a literal
work of art. Was there something else that we liked? I don't
think so. There's Kamala pushing. That's Darren. Kamala,
you make Darren look Darren. Your your Kamala, AI, makes her
look too good. And that's your problem there. It doesn't look
like her. No, it doesn't.
John C Dvorak: She needs to be more haggard looking. That's the
key operator. Put put the keyword in Yeah, put that word
in there. Prompt, haggard, the prompt, by
Adam Curry: the way, we titled The episode 1702, slop and
Hopper, which,
John C Dvorak: we got some notes about that too.
Adam Curry: Oh, did you get a note about slopping up writing
good enough. Oh, yeah. Oh, you
John C Dvorak: guys are deaf. Obviously said swap for copper.
And we, I
Adam Curry: think we even mentioned that. But, okay, yeah,
but we did
John C Dvorak: you listen and listen? It's like you listen
once, one person, one of our female listeners, just you
dummies. You heard it. You say you listen 10 times. It was very
clearly swapping for copper. Did she
Adam Curry: start to know it off with I'm surprised. I'm
disappointed. Yeah, listen, it only took me two minutes to look
that up. We're doing stuff on the fly. I looked it up. I knew
the answer right away. Do your own podcast. Hey, let's thank
the executive and Associate Executive producers and many
future Commodores who supported us with with the treasure for
today, with, we of course appreciate any amount that
anybody sends at any time for any reason, but usually sending
value back for the value they receive for the show and $200
and above for each episode, we read your note and you get an
Associate Executive producership. $300 and above, we
read your note and you get an executive producership. And
these are credits that are completely valid in the land of
show business. If people still care, just take a look@imdb.com
where people post all their credits. And you can go look,
and you'll see that there are many people who are executive
and Associate Executive producers of this very podcast,
the no agenda podcast, and if you didn't see the newsletter,
you should subscribe to it. It's on the front page of every show
notes because I I posed with my Commodore papers. Yes, you did,
and
John C Dvorak: got some comments from some people, I'm
Adam Curry: very disappointed no one has put a Star of David on
it yet, or a yarmulke. Very disappointed. No, I've gotten no
comments
John C Dvorak: even drew a mustache or anything, anything.
Adam Curry: But we did get a contribution from miss you.
John C Dvorak: Did get a comment from Catherine in Cambodia or
Thailand, or wherever she is. Well,
Adam Curry: what's she saying? Nice teeth. Oh, well, thank you.
Thank you. I saved a long time for them. Mr. Black is in resvec
in the Netherlands, comes in with 526 36 and says, Dear John
and Adam, what better to gift myself for my birthday, October
15, you're on the list than a no agenda Commodore credential.
Thank you for your courage. And keep on, keeping on Mr. Black,
who will become Commodore? Black? Yes,
John C Dvorak: especially if he goes to no agenda rings.com and
puts in the details of where they send the Commodore
certificate, yes, and what he wants to have on the
certificate. A lot of people, we've only gotten, probably half
the people have,
Adam Curry: oh, you got to do that. People, you got to do
that. Otherwise you won't receive it.
John C Dvorak: You got to do it. Yeah, because we don't know, you
know, in his exact same the right shipping address, and the
exact way, if
Adam Curry: I may, this, it is, by far, probably the most
beautiful document we've produced. I love how it was
shipped. It comes in a not a small, but a large
John C Dvorak: that you're shipping. No, it doesn't. No,
you got a special one in a tube. The rest of them are put in
these large post stuff in 11 by 14, big, uh, hard, hard, post
office, yes, yeah, and post office approved with it, with
the sheet. Otherwise, it's exactly the same. The
Adam Curry: point I was going to make is, I love that there's
tracing paper so it's protected. I'm sure you're doing that
dressing paper where they're all going to be. And it and the
vellum and the seal. What is it? Vellum? Vellum? Give me some
vellum. I like a five meters of vellum. The seal has, has blue
ribbon, which is actual ribbon. It's very pretty piece.
John C Dvorak: It's also God says on the on the seals.
Commodore, yes, yes, very, very I think it, I agree. It's the
prettiest document that we've ever produced. Jay designed it,
pretty much.
Adam Curry: And it's an official Commodore ship,
John C Dvorak: yeah. So it's a good looking product,
Adam Curry: outstanding product, as usual,
John C Dvorak: sir. Sleepy also could get one of these $500
Commodore ships. He's in Gentry, Arkansas, and he says, As a
switcheroo, he'd like to gift gift the Commodore title to his
dad, Larry Aaron Berger, as his pontoon project boat has
recently passed sea worthiness tests. It is fitting that a
newly commissioned vessel should have a newly commissioned
captain. There you go, and Commodore. In this case,
Commodore, keep up the great work and looking forward to four
more years. Thanks, sir. Sleepy of the late nights. All
Adam Curry: right. Switch roo has been put in place. Ken
Chapman is in Rosemont, Illinois, $500 in the morning.
Gents as a Trekkie, the combination of 1701 shows on a
Commodore ship was too good to pass. It's also an opportunity

first Associate Executive Producer, and he says, Adam,
yeah, as I write this note, we are recovering from Hurricane
Milton here on the Gulf Coast of Florida, just wanted to say
thanks for all the first responders and send prayers to
those that were less fortunate than us, as we thankfully only
took a glancing blow and had some minor damage. This is my
yearly get your our wives out of jail donation. And I feel
compelled to make that. I feel compelled to make to ensure
they're released from the inevitable run ins with the law
in the Great Smoky Mountains. Yes, Tina
Adam Curry: is up with the girls in the Smoky Mountains. They are
hiking, and this includes his wife. So, you know, we have a
little club, a little club, and we all talk. We all drink beer
and and talk about our wives when, there's when they're
hiking. Luckily,
John C Dvorak: my wife, Dame elemental of the manasota key,
was able to meet up with the gang only a day late to continue
to reign of terror across the unsuspecting states. So you
know,
Adam Curry: it was really, Tina was texting with her, and they
were kind of freaked out by the reporting, of course, and they
were still there, and they couldn't, they couldn't get out
because the the highway was all jammed. They wound up spending
the night with their dog in, I think, a school, there was some
shelter, and they went back their house was, I guess, okay,
and she was able to get a flight out, and she flew right up and
and joined them a day later. So everything turned out good, and
we're, of course, very happy that you guys are okay.
John C Dvorak: Please earmark the donation for whatever you
deem to ensure their freedom. Shout out to Sir Don from
Arizona, as I'm sure he will be following up with a donation for
springing his wife from the joint two no jingles, but please
send some karma to the Florida Gulf Coast. Thanks, Mike, yeah.

Canada, 201, 99 Dear John and Adam in the morning to you fine.
Jensen, thank you for your courage and all that you do. My
name is Casey Conrad, and I'm a longtime listener and a first
time donor. Please accept my donation. 2018, dot 99 and
Canadian dollarettes for an Associate Executive Producer
title, which is probably like $10 USD, due to the Canadian
dollar being so abysmally bad, right? We honor your dollar
rent. It's actually 11 bucks. I recently launched a new graphic
novel titled PC Pete and the brood of clones under my new
publishing company called two cat comics. This graphic novel
pays homage to all the OG computer nerds and geeks out
there. I'm looking at you, John C Dvorak, as all of my
characters are computers, not robots, being in my 50s, now, I
wanted to create and share something with the world as my
way of leaving a lasting legacy. I would also like to pursue this
in a full time manner and leave my stressful nine to five jobs,
and would love and appreciate any support I can get from the
no agenda nation. I have two other ideas that I'd like to
work on to purchase a copy in either high quality PDF or
print. Please visit my website at two cat comics.com or simply
go to the amazon.com and search for PCP. Clones, please.
Alisonia dedushing,
Unknown: you've been deduced. And
John C Dvorak: give me some karma for this new endeavor.
Thank you kindly in advance,
Unknown: you've got karma
Adam Curry: you want just classic PCs. I watched a YouTube
video last night, did you know that the they've brought back
the Commodore 64 called the Commodore 64x and it's no and
it's exactly the same casing. It has the same keyboard, but it
has like, I think, and get it loaded with Linux. But it's, you
have to see this thing they've done all the sound effects. I
mean, it's, it's mind blowing. You can load all the old games.
It has emulators on it is really stunning. Yeah, real just
because the guy brought up geeky, old, nerdy stuff. It's
like, I need to get there you go. Think I need to get one of
these. Dan Richmond is an Al ashua. Doesn't sound right.
Alachua. Alachua, there you go. Alachua. It's in Florida.
$200.66 notes sent to Adam. I looked it up. Yes, indeed.
Wanted to add some context on your coverage of Howard Stern. I
was a longtime superfan around 2013 you made a purposeful
shift. Went from a small crew, couple of writers, to an army of
staffers. And we were talking about this on the previous
episode, dozens of writers, apparently about 77 zero. What?
Yes. So he said, Fear rid of millions. Feared cancel culture
and wanted to capture the MSNBC crowd nuked his audience. Guys
like me went from being devout super fans to hating him. Then
covid Utterly melted his brain. I cannot think of any pop
culture figure who destroyed their legacy like this. Now he
has, he has a podcast called heb and the goy hebengoi.com and he
sent me an episode, which he actually did with the Goys wife,
because the goy was off doing something. So was he Ben the
shiksa, and they were both massive fans of stern, and it
was a very interesting, good deconstruction. And I'll give
you my takeaway, since we were talking about it, I think stern
always wanted to be like a Leno, or like, you know, Jimmy Kimmel.
He wanted to be super famous. He wanted to be with all of the
celebrities, and he didn't realize that having the ragtag
bunch of idiots and the crew that he had was actually the the
it was the beauty of the show. And when he had the opportunity
and had the money, and that's what part of that, you know,
that whole video that got leaked out, he actually was trying to
put that together. That's why he got all these writers, and he
didn't realize that that was the appeal. And he's always been a
coward. And then, you know, covid, just, I agree, melted his
brain. And you had a, you had part of a theory about that.
John,
John C Dvorak: yes, well, his wife, because you've brought up,
we went back and forth, a little email exchange things we do.
It's one of the rare things we can we do communicate on
occasion. And you said, Well, his wife and I, and I looked her
up, and she's like, she has, she's a cat lady, massive,
massive cat lady. She's rescued 1000 cats, and so, so I had to
conclude that there's, there's no way that the two of them
don't have a case of toxoplasmosis. Bing, boom, done,
which is what you you will get from cats. And it's this, it's a
disease. It's a very strange parasite that you can get rid of
with. I think ivermectin will clear it up. I'm not sure the
Oh, the irony. That would be very ironic, yeah. But it causes
all kinds of anomalies, and it also affects the way you think.
And for example, it's known that it probably exists in nature
because, because mice who run into cat feces, that's where it
comes from, will get toxoplasmosis, and they begin to
not fear cats, which makes them easier to catch. Oh, so it's
like a kind of a one of nature's weird little tricks. It's
Adam Curry: a self destructive virus, which is exactly what he
has. So,
John C Dvorak: so I just think that toxoplasmosis may be in
play here, which because it just seems like there's something's
wrong,
Adam Curry: yes, and so, but he been the goy.com it's worth a
watch if you are a super fan and we're disappointed they they lay
it all out. It's an hour and a half. What can I say? Tina's
hiking.
John C Dvorak: Last on our list is Linda LAPACK in Lakewood,
Colorado. How about that? 200 bucks, and she's requesting off
the wall jobs karma, and she says that for a resume that gets
results, go to imagemakers inc.com, for all your executive
resume and job search needs, that's imagemakers Inc, with a
K. Or find Linda Lou Duchess of jobs and writer of resumes on
the producer list four more years. Jobs,
Unknown: jobs.
Jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's
Adam Curry: vote for jobs. Noah doondadonations.com, is where
you can support the show with your treasure. It is value for
value time, talent and treasure. Help us out. Keep the show going
four more years, or at least until the new year. It'd be fun
to continue that. Thank you again to our executive and
Associate Executive producers of episode 1703 of the no agenda
show. Our
Unknown: formula is this. We go out. We get people in the mouth.
They're eating the dogs. Shut
up. Shut
Adam Curry: up. I want to you know, of course, we've had
these, these horrific hurricanes. I have a little
follow up on what happened in western North Carolina. Duke
Energy is the big provider up there, the same Duke Energy, who
has left our producer, Bruce 72 in the cold, is now below
freezing at night in the mountains. Is 17 days. He needs
some power. People. He has he has water and he has food. So
he's okay, but it is. They're not being served up there. And
it turns out Duke Energy is in charge of more than just the
electricity. They're also in charge of a lot of the dams and
the lakes, and they're now being accused of some monkey business
from
Unknown: the Catawba River in
Charlotte. My heart is just fractured
to look out shoals lake in Claremont smells
like rotting fish, this sour smelling, and it's just it's
hard to breathe.
Two communities, 40 miles apart, are connected by water. Both are
at the mercy of the utility that controls it. Each shares their
own sense of extreme loss and anger.
Duke Energy fell asleep at the wheel. But actually, they didn't
fall asleep. They were wide awake. They didn't do what they
should have done. In
between the two sits Lake Norman during Helene Duke Energy
records show the water at the lakes directly above and below
Lake Norman increased well above their licensed maximum levels,
increasing by roughly 12 feet compared to the much larger Lake
Norman, which barely and only briefly crested above its
maximum rising only about three feet. The communities where lake
levels rose well above maximum levels are places where the
median household incomes are much lower than the Lake Norman
community Duke Energy has said the utility started moving water
through its 11 lake system on the Tuesday before Helene hit
but won't release specifics, telling us the flooding at
smaller lakes like lookout shoals and mountain Island and
downstream was unpreventable due to the historic amount of
rainfall. In a statement, the utility told us lakes are
managed as an integrated system, not for the benefit of a single
lake, the utility noted it operated its lakes, including
Lake Norman, to reduce the impacts of flooding for lake and
river neighbors, upstream and downstream, prior to during and
after the storm. Adding Duke Energy is confident its hydro
operations team manage this event as effectively as possible
to help mitigate flooding impacts for all lake and river
neighbors and the public.
Adam Curry: Obviously, a local report,
John C Dvorak: um, sounds like AI, no,
Adam Curry: no. It's, it's uh, W, n, C, W, I think you know, it
wouldn't surprise me, seeing as when, when we were in Austin and
the snowpocalypse hit, and the first thing I did is unplug the
east side of I 35 and the former New York banker, they had power
never went out. So, yeah, I think it's possibly true that
they take care of their own over there, boots on the ground from
the climate Haven. We know the climate Haven. We had a clip on
the last show, if you recall, oh, it's a climate Haven. It's
amazing. This happened here. Our producer says in Episode 1702,
you played a clip from MSNBC that referred to the western
North Carolina area as a climate Haven, credit where creditors
do. I believe MSNBC is correct insofar as this is exactly what
some people who live there, specifically in the Asheville
area, believe my father, sister and brother in law live in
Asheville while on vacation with my family this past summer, my
brother in law, like all insecure liberals, couldn't
resist steering the conversation to politics and climate change
to seek some validation. Specifically, he talked about
how he loved Asheville, not just for its progressive ideals of
microbreweries, but for how he felt safe there from the
climate, he actually made the statement and quote, everywhere
else will be burning, but Asheville be one of the last
remaining habitable places. Meanwhile, my father recently,
what? Yeah. I know, yeah. Meanwhile, my father recently
said to me he believes, without evidence, that humanity. He only
has 30 years left to live. He's very Oh yeah. He is very sincere
and clearly distressed by this knowledge of impending doom.
Asheville is not good for mental health people. All right. Thank
you. Producer for Yeah.
John C Dvorak: I think he's right, yeah,
Adam Curry: I agree. Well, she Ville as a she Ville, yes. So I
have the NOAA prediction from May of 2024 which I'll just
read. The headline, NOAA predicts. This is from their
website. NOAA predicts above normal 2024 Atlantic hurricane
season. Well, this was not an Atlantic hurricane, and so far
it's been quite low, boots on the ground, from our producer,
from a home insurance product manager, privy to some pretty
solid data over the years. As you can imagine, do we have the
best producers in the universe? Or what storms are not causing
more damage denominated in dollars, when you adjust for
inflation and home values. You played the report last show
admitting storms are not more frequent, the total damage in
dollars is also not rising, and it suggests pretty strongly they
are also not getting more deadly or intense. Hurricane Andrew in
1992 remains the highest dollar cost hurricane for inflation
adjusted however, he says fire damage is increasing in drier
climates. Obviously changes in fire management over time are a
factor. So there you go. They're just jacking your rates for no
good reason, because it's not actually getting more expensive
for them. Adjusted for inflation, yeah, they're
John C Dvorak: going for the profits now that all of this, if
you can, if you can fool them, take the money, take the money
Adam Curry: and run them. All of this, of course, does not
change. Or why would it the climate nut jobs in Washington
state for jumping on the bandwagon. Oh, oh, we've got to
do more.
Unknown: It is difficult to compare a hurricane with a
Pineapple Express, the exception of the rain and a lot of
we're thinking and sending our positive thoughts to our
neighbors in the southeast
of the country.
It was a topic at a meeting of UW climate scientists and state
leaders who authored a new Washington climate resilience
strategy point to the record Nooksack flooding of 2021 as an
example of how warmer weather has increased. Rain intensity.
Is there a parallel there with what we're talking about in the
northwest and what's happening in the southeast there
is, you know, we the oceans are getting warmer. Same thing
happening there. Warmer air holds more water. Dr,
Crystal. Raymond is a UW researcher who helped craft a
national assessment of climate change, noting that Florida has
been dramatically impacted, but this state has its own issues,
laid out in the strategic report, with a decrease in
snowpack and a projected rise in sea levels. It's
just a window into the future when that kind of event, that
kind of all those catastrophic consequences are happening more
often right now. Ontologist
Guillaume Moshe says Milton's impact in the legislatively
mandated resilience plan shows the need for action here, from
aid for tribal communities to move out of flood plains to
building new infrastructure. There are suggestions to address
some of them in the next legislative session.
I think we do have an opportunity to steer out of the
way and to reduce those impacts.
The events in Florida a reminder that Washington has its own set
of climate concerns just around the bend.
Adam Curry: Rather climate more money, more money, more money.
Meanwhile, the Sahara Desert, old lakes and rivers are coming
back to life. You seen those pictures? No, oh, oh, it's, it's
outrageous.
John C Dvorak: It already sounds like AI. No, no, no, no. This
Adam Curry: is, this is real. Here, the
Unknown: Sahara, the world's largest hot desert, has been hit
by heavy rainfall, turning the sand dunes into a scene of blue
lagoons and nourishing some of its most trot stricken regions.
A river that has been dry for decades have come back to life
after the rainfall.
There's even a lake that has been dry for 50 years named Lake
koriki, between the Zagora and Tata regions, so the old desert
lakes will come back to life. Yes.
Adam Curry: So did you know that there were desert lakes?
John C Dvorak: I know now, yeah. So there was 50 years, if they
were 50 years ago, what was causing that
Adam Curry: climate change? I don't know. You know, stinky
cars, horrible cars and in the Mediterranean, I pulled this
clip only for the very last end. This is a guy who's checking out
the underwater vegetation in the Mediterranean.
Unknown: Gerwin Gretchen gets ready for his next dive. He's
explored the waters in Croatia's valsalina Bay many times
already. The Austrian marine biologist first started diving
here 35 years ago.
I can
say with certainty that the first 20 or maybe 25 years since
I first came here, there were hardly any changes. But the last
six to 10 years, there has been an incredible amount of change.
Now there are changes almost every month above
the water, everything is like it's always been, blue skies,
crystal clear water and people relaxing by the sea, but
underwater, it's clear what Gretchen means. Until a few
years ago, the bay was home to seagrass meadows, habitat for
hundreds of underwater species. They're known as the lungs of
the sea, and key to maintaining the ecological balance today,
Val Selena Bay is an underwater desert, no vegetation, no sea
grass meadows. The marine habitat has vanished in just a
few years with dramatic consequences. Biodiversity
loss means we humans are in danger of suffocating in our own
filth because nature is no longer able to regenerate what
we have polluted.
Adam Curry: We're in danger of suffocating in our own filth.
You filthy, nasty people eating meat, whatever you're doing, you
know, the lat, the latest thing in trying to stop the impact of
of cattle is feeding him red seaweed
John C Dvorak: to reduce poisonous stuff.
Adam Curry: I was it poisonous?
Unknown: Well, I mean, the
John C Dvorak: red tide is this algae?
Adam Curry: Yes,
Unknown: I don't know red seaweed. I
John C Dvorak: don't know what red seaweed is.
Unknown: One solution to this turf problem could come from the
surf.
The seaweed is somewhat of the holy grail of climate change in
terms of solutions from the ocean. Dr Jen
Smith is researching how this species of seaweed called
asparagopsis, taxi, for Miss, can stop all that burping
once it is fed to the livestock. That simply prevents methane
from ever being formed, and therefore the cows don't burp
that methane out of their mouth. One study
found that adding just a tiny amount of this red seaweed to a
cow's diet reduced its methane emissions between 40 and 98%
now, Dr Smith is partnering with an Australian company to scale
up production.
The goal is not totally produce it. You know how to do that, but
only do it more efficiently.
Steve Miller's company ch four global makes a red seaweed based
feed additive called methane tamer. It's already being fed to
cattle in Australia with plans to grow it worldwide. The goal
is to perfect the process of growing asparagopsis in outdoor
grow ponds that can be built anywhere with access to ocean
water.
We give people the choice to say, Do I eat that plant based
approach, or do I eat that meat based approach that is now
dramatically lowered its carbon
Miller expects to see low methane beef in US supermarkets
by the beginning of next year.
Adam Curry: That doesn't sound like the beef is going to be
very tasty.
John C Dvorak: Low methane beef probably tastes like fish. Can
you imagine, never fry a some beef and a cast iron skillet
that you cooked fish in? Oh, no,
Adam Curry: that's a no, no.
John C Dvorak: You end up with a very the flavor is just not
ruined. With something you ruined, it's ruined,
Adam Curry: ruined, ruin that
John C Dvorak: can be fixed. How about playing this? Then are you
gonna talk about beef? Let's talk about bird flu.
Adam Curry: Oh, we're back.
Unknown: Avian influenzas was first detected in California's
dairy cattle a little born then a month ago, and now it's been
confirmed to more than 80 of the state's dairy herds and in three
dairy workers. Kerry Klein from member station kvpr has more
dairy
workers are being equipped with more PPE like face shields and
disposable booties, farms are also restricting people and
vehicles on site. Trisha Steve or Blatt LARP is with the Farm
Bureau in Tulare County, the country's largest milk producer.
She says the costs of these precautions are trickling down
beyond farms. She cites a cattle hauler whose job is to transport
the livestock from place to place. He's
currently seeing two thirds less income for his employees, the
drivers, and yet he still has all that overhead and payroll
that he's trying to meet.
Another hit to California's dairy industry. Even those
cattle that fully recover from the virus may produce less milk.
Adam Curry: Can't win. Now this is also stupid. They're just
filling air time at this point. There was an interesting twist
to the Tick Tock saga, which is ongoing, which what
John C Dvorak: saga we discussing? Well,
Adam Curry: of course, we still have. Uh, they have a deadline
coming up, I think when they have January, yeah, yeah. So
there's deadline coming up where they have to sell to an American
entity. At the same time, 14, uh, attorney generals in 14
different states are suing them over harming children. And now
some documents were not properly redacted, and CBS got a hold of
him. Tiktok
Unknown: executives knew how damaging their app was to young
users, according to legal documents, we were never
supposed to see CBS. Jo Ling Kent reports tonight on these
secret internal communications, just days after multiple states
sued Tiktok for allegedly designing the app to addict
children. New details have emerged about how they say the
company does it in this lawsuit filed by the state of Kentucky,
sections of the complaint were not properly redacted, as first
reported by Kentucky Public Radio and NPR. Kentucky's
lawsuit claims Tiktok knows all it takes to hook. An average
user is viewing 260 videos as short as eight seconds, thus in
under 35 minutes.
John C Dvorak: What was that number? Listen
Adam Curry: again. He's lawsuit
Unknown: claims Tiktok knows all it takes to hook an average user
is viewing 260 videos as short as eight seconds, thus, in under
35 minutes, an average user is likely to become addicted to the
platform.
Adam Curry: How about that?
John C Dvorak: Wait a minute. Very few eight without
calculation was based on eight, all videos being eight seconds.
No, no, no. People to get to 35 minutes at 260 Yes,
Adam Curry: but I think people typically look at a video and
after eight seconds, they swipe up to the next one. I think
that's what they're talking about. I
John C Dvorak: don't think so. Hey, I didn't say that. You just
made it up. No,
Adam Curry: I'm interpreting the CBS News report. I'm not making
anything up, and
Unknown: a feature designed to encourage teens to take a break
after 60 minutes on the app, quote does not actually impose a
screen time limit. Instead, its goal improving public trust via
media coverage, Tiktok allegedly knew its time management tools
reduced usage by only 90 seconds.
Adam Curry: Here's the thing, I don't believe that they're
hooking teenagers. I think they're hooking full blown
adults, because that's all I see.
John C Dvorak: Okay, I watch tick tock videos, yeah,
Adam Curry: but not a whole watch. You don't end of a maybe
you don't, you don't use the app.
John C Dvorak: No, of course, I don't know, but I want that. I
don't hold on a second big what would I use the app on? No,
Adam Curry: I know. Yes, we know you're the best. John C Dvorak,
I have no, I
John C Dvorak: got no saying I'm, I'm reason. I'm a
reasonable person. I guess I've seen the light. I know where the
phones belong, yes,
Adam Curry: but I'm, what I'm saying is, this is the app that
is designed to keep you engaged, and if you don't swipe up, it
swipes up automatically. This. None of this happens on your on
the website, so you are not going to become addicted.
Although,
John C Dvorak: of watching 260 videos, that's a lot. I don't
think I've watched totally, and we've been doing the show, and
I've been using tick tock videos now for a couple of years. I
still don't think I've gotten to 260
Adam Curry: No, but you're you're not the target market.
They're not trying to addict you. That guy's gonna addict
everybody. That guy's hopeless. No, you're on a web browser.
You're no good. You're no good as a follow up. It's really
Unknown: frustrating to know that Tiktok had information
internally from their own research that suggested that
their app was causing harm in particular ways, and that they
chose not to act on that information.
No
the Kentucky complaint has since I mean, they
John C Dvorak: chose not. Let's, let's back up to the early days
of the Internet and these news organizations that I because I
wrote for a number of them. And you write for these guys and you
say, Well, I'm doing an article that this would be, I could name
names, but just all of them were this way, all of them, you'd
write something and say, Where's this? You put a link in there,
because you're trying to explain something, and, you know, boom,
you put a link. No, you can't you. You can't do that. You
can't link out of the site, because if people link out of
the site, then they're not going to come back, which is no,
factually incorrect. It's factually incorrect, but that's
what everyone thought. And so you couldn't link out Forbes
magazine, was one of them, and you couldn't. No, no, no, Mom,
no, no, no, no, you don't. No, no, no. You got to keep them on
the site. So they want to keep them on the site. I mean, this
was there was You're right. They were wrong about the about their
analysis, but how is. That different than wanting to keep
you on the site. Every news organization and Tiktok wanting
to keep you on the site, tell me exactly what the difference is.
Adam Curry: I have no words.
John C Dvorak: No, I just asked. Yes. No,
Adam Curry: this is no different. It's no different.
But apps are totally intended to keep you in the app
continuously. That's,
John C Dvorak: again, well, there's
Adam Curry: the difference is. The difference is the app is
doing a lot more than a website. The website has a cookie, but
the app knows if you're walking, if you're laying down, it, you
know it may be listening. I mean all the EULA stuff that you
approved Yes,
John C Dvorak: using your contact list and opening the
camera Yes, exactly. The Kentucky
Unknown: complaint has since been resealed and the Attorney
General declined our request for an interview in a statement,
Tiktok called NPR highly irresponsible for publishing
this information, adding the lawsuit cherry picks misleading
quotes and takes outdated documents out of context to
misrepresent our commitment to community safety. The Kentucky
lawsuit also alleges Tiktok own research found that compulsive
usage correlates with a slew of negative mental health effects
like loss of analytical skills, memory formation, contextual
thinking, conversational depth, empathy and increased anxiety. I
John C Dvorak: believe that, well, you have to go
empirically. Yes, it seems to be something's causing what you
what that description that those symptoms are caused by
something. Let's
Adam Curry: listen to that list again. The
Unknown: Kentucky lawsuit also alleges Tiktok own research
found that compulsive usage correlates with a slew of
negative mental health effects, like loss of analytical skills,
memory formation, contextual thinking, conversational depth,
empathy and increased anxiety.
Adam Curry: Let's put this to the test with a with a man on
the street piece that France 24 did as and this is, this is
real. This is really interesting. They couldn't find
bigger idiots than these people. They did a report over the
influence of AI and deep fakes, how it looms large over the US
presidential race. So they, so they, they play one, you know,
the Mr. Reagan, he does a lot of these parody ads and stuff.
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: he's got somebody working in his organization
that's putting together good, a lot of AI stuff.
Adam Curry: And he even puts on them parody. I mean, I've seen
it run down, says parody. So they take one of these, don't
tell people, is parody, and they go out to Washington, DC and
show this to people. And these are people, tourists in DC, who
are kind of mulling around outside the White House. Listen
to this.
Unknown: This campaign app, posted by Elon Musk, has over
136 million views, but it's actually a fake made with
artificial intelligence.
So if you criticize anything I say you're both sexist and
racist. Joe taught me rule number one, carefully hide your
toes.
It perfectly captures Kamala Harris's voice and likeness. But
Musk failed to clarify that the video was fake when he shared it
on his social media platform X, he simply says, This is amazing.
The YouTuber Mr. Reagan, created the video and posted it on his
channel. The fervent Trump supporter claims the videos are
parodies and are not meant to be taken seriously. At the
end of the day, everybody who's complaining that this is
indistinguishable from real life and people are going to be
tricked. Either have are
Adam Curry: very low IQ themselves, or who are watching
too much Tiktok have very
Unknown: little faith in people to be a little bit skeptical.
But is it so easy to determine that the videos are
Adam Curry: fake? Now listen carefully to the three subjects
they've chosen for this report. We
Unknown: asked Americans if they could tell the difference.
What do you think she sure knew a lot of information about being
someone being senile, and didn't come forward straight away.
This is a fake video.
Are you able to spot it right away? I'm not. It might be my
age. Somebody used
her voice. And
what about you?
Yeah, I think that's all.
I don't know what they're trying to are they advertise. Can't
really tell whether the news clip or video clip is for them
or against them. The
video clearly causes confusion. What? And it's not the only AI
content duping social media users
Adam Curry: so they get an old lady. Who says, I'm not too
sure. Maybe it's my age. They get two people who say it's
fake, and then some whack job gay guy who's like, just put me
on here. And then she says, clearly, it confuses everybody,
this is bull crap. It's total what horse crap this is, yeah,
John C Dvorak: yeah. I'm surprised you played it, because
it doesn't back up your basic thesis. Well, to to
Adam Curry: to complete the segment. Thank you. Producer,
anonymous, Hi, Adam. Just for your personal enjoyment, I spend
some of my free time on outlier. Ai, it's a platform that pays
humans to train AI. I found I received the best feedback from
my human reviewers on my training of the AI when I use
Gemini AI to assist my training. Entropy at its finest. I love
that training.
John C Dvorak: Oh, it's it's definitely headed in that
Adam Curry: direction. It is, it is. It can't happen fast enough.
I'm
John C Dvorak: very It won't happen as fast as you hope. No,
I
Adam Curry: know, but I but a girl can dream.
John C Dvorak: So at least this field, what can I do? One
international news story, so we get it out of the way. You can
do whatever you want. You can do. Let's do Israel versus
Macron. I just think this has been going on for a while. We
haven't played these clips yet. You're
Unknown: right. Powerful new explosions rocked Beirut's
southern suburbs tonight, as Israel expands its bombardment
of the Hezbollah and Hamas militant groups in Lebanon
earlier, Israel struck a Palestinian refugee camp in the
North for the first time, killing a Hamas commander. 1000s
of people in Lebanon continue to flee the widening conflict in
the region. Palestinians along a key corridor there are facing
new Israeli evacuation orders as air strikes continue. Meanwhile,
French President Emmanuel Macron is calling for a halt to arms
deliveries to Israel for its war in Gaza and pierce Eleanor
Beardsley reports, Macron says Lebanon can't become a new Gaza.
In
an interview on French radio, Macron said a political solution
is the only way to bring peace. Macrons appeal comes as Israel
intensifies its invasion of Lebanon, as it tries to weaken
Hezbollah Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly
responded, bristling at macron's comments. Today,
Israel is defending itself on seven fronts against the enemies
of civilization. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Well, what caught my attention on that one was
what Netanyahu said, Seven. I'll ask you, what are the seven
fronts?
Adam Curry: Let me see, we have Gaza, we have Syria,
John C Dvorak: we have who? Well, wait, wait, that's not a
front the Golan Heights.
Adam Curry: I think I thought that's Lebanon, no, no. Lebanon,
okay,
John C Dvorak: well, let's Well, I just put up say, Okay, you
give me love.
Adam Curry: You give me two. I'm giving you later two. Okay,
Lebanon, three. Oh, Houthis, four, four. I it's not a front,
but you're gonna have to give him Iran, because they are
shooting the rockets. Five, five. Canada, Canada is six.
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: find me two more Brazil.
Adam Curry: I'm let me think.
John C Dvorak: What's he saying when he says seven fronts this
Adam Curry: bullcrap was Yemen is does Yemen count? Or is that
now, Houthis, the Houthis West Bank? No, not really. Jordan,
Jordan, of Jordan's piece? No, of course,
John C Dvorak: they're buddies. Egypt's the same way.
Adam Curry: Kyiv, Ukraine. I mean, I'm out. I'm out. I don't
know.
John C Dvorak: I gave you two extra ones. I mean, come on.
Very good,
Adam Curry: very good question. I do not know. Maybe because
America controls Israel, maybe he's just talking like an
American,
John C Dvorak: it's need a Kamala, exactly. And Biden,
that'd be the seven boom. And
Adam Curry: Biden, there's your other fronts.
John C Dvorak: Okay, part two of that clip,
Unknown: he included the occupied West Bank captured by
Israel in 1967 as one of those fronts. Netanyahu said all
civilized countries should be standing with Israel. His
message to Macron, shame on you. It's
Adam Curry: getting a little hard when you hear this
particular construction or deconstruction of the Israeli
plan about Gaza London. Let's
Unknown: bring in Aaron breckman, the senior teaching
fellow at the Department of War studies at King's College
London. Great to have you on the program this evening. Great to
talk to you, Aaron. First of all, I know you are. Former IDF
soldier as well. I think you served, am I right to say back
in 1982 in the Lebanon conflict? So your context and analysis
very important this evening. Just give me your understanding
of what's going on in the north of Gaza right now.
What the Israelis are trying to do in the northern part of the
Gaza Strip is to empty it, basically to send the citizens
who are there. We are talking about 350,000 to 400,000 to the
south. It is a straightforward ethnic cleansing. The aim, say
the Israelis, is to separate between the good guys and the
5000 bad guys, the Hamas combatants or terrorists and so.
So this is what they are doing, trying to push the citizens of
Gallia, in all this area, to the south in order to fight against
in the people of Hamas last year there. Yeah. So
Adam Curry: send all the civilians down south, 350,000
and then bomb the 5000 gun. They got to be terrorists. They got
to be they got to be the bad guys. I, you know, someone sent
me a a new interview with Michael Hudson. You know, we've
played the clips of him before. Don't remember? Yeah, he's the
economist, and he was in, he was in the war college, and did a
lot of consulting for Brzezinski and all those guys back in the
day. And he has this, I'm gonna clip it for Thursday. He has a
very interesting analysis of how the US, since we can't really,
you know, we don't, you can't reinstitute a draft in America,
people will revolt. You can't get elected if you say, oh,
let's have a draft. No one's going to elect you as president
or or any representative.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, just have to up the ante for volunteers,
right? You
Adam Curry: can't use nukes because that's mutually assured
destruction. But we still have this, this neocon, maybe
neoliberal. We need to go after the oil. We want all the re we
want all the resources. It's still the same a holes who want
all the resources. So Israel is perfect, because they will
fight, and, you know, they fight ideologically. They like, you
know, we hate these guys. We'll go kill them, and some of us
that will get killed, and it comes, just comes down to
terrorism, basically, and that the Israelis are stooge and we
send them everywhere,
John C Dvorak: or stooge? Yeah,
Adam Curry: I know half of the audience, like, No man, the Jews
control everything.
Unknown: Senator, okay,
yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fine. Of course,
John C Dvorak: it's actually not them. Most of the audience that
thinks that way. They really don't like our show. I'm
Unknown: gonna show my salad by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab in
the morning.

You've got karma. Support the show. No agenda. Donations.com.
You're

celebrates on October 15. Happy birthday from everybody here at
the best podcast in the universe. I don't think we've
had one birthday on the list for a long, long time. Fantastic.
All right, now, time to welcome our brand new Commodores who
have supported the show with $500 for their Commodore
ranking. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Commodore black,
Commodore Larry Aaron Berger, Commodore, Ken Chapman,
Commodore crunch, Commodore, Chris Fosgate, Commodore Jimmy
James and commodore of Scientology arriving. Go to no
agenda rings.com and give us the information so we can send you

Sabah. Sabah. Sabah donated $77.70 on Father's Day, and
never got a shout out. So we're sorry about that, Matt, so we're
making good now. I guess it's for your dad, and we have a
layaway night. Eric Newman who says, I've committed the offense
of desert desertion. So after spending all day in temple
atoning for my sins, I see humble forgiveness. No problem.
I'd left in 27 due to media hatred overload and TDs Trump
derangement syndrome, I was also working in the media industry at
the time. Ah, that explains it, between the craziness both
inside and outside their buildings, I had to detach
entirely from news and politics for seven years, that is, until
the Trump Biden debate, my no agenda, media deconstruction and
critical thinking skills allowed me to survive in the interim.
However, after watching the debate, I knew it was time to go
back to the podcast where everybody knows my name, sir
Newman, Knight of the gentrified Brooklyn. Okay? And then he
says, I can skip as much as I want of this. But apparently
he's been living in Brooklyn, where he says there's a lot of
communists. Okay, he grew up in South Florida. Oh, he does say
that the millibar was used during which
John C Dvorak: hurricanes, yeah. He just says, use you. Just used
a lot. And
Adam Curry: he says, didn't say a lot, he says, but it has been
used All right. Well, I'm not sure what the next level is, but
I would appreciate serving all of Brooklyn and the county of
Kings and request a sativa and psilocybin at the round table.
No problem. And let me see, I'd love to give you an inflation
adjustment. One more thing, Adam, you might listen to the
tech grouch too much when it comes to AI, huh? Remember he
said that newfangled device called the mouse wouldn't become
popular? No, please. That's not what he said. He says, there's
no evidence, and you're wrong. I protect my friend on this
anyway. He says, Sorry, sending this so late because I tried to
get chat GPT to filter my paypal history, but it kept failing or
making numbers up, uh huh. So I after, after he gives me crap
about my AI stance, so I had to do it the old fashioned way.
Yours forever, sir. Eric Newman, Night Slash Baron of Brooklyn.
And with that, let's bring up our two nights for today.
John C Dvorak: Here's a blade for you. Nice

Unknown: Units.
Days, it's like a party, and
Adam Curry: at this point in the in the show, we like to see what
we're going to play at the end of show as our ISO, I think I
went first last time.
John C Dvorak: Okay, you want me to go first? Is what you're
indicating here.

you got it once again. Good job, everybody. Now it's time for
everybody's favorite moment of the show, John's Tip of the Day.
And sometimes,
John C Dvorak: Okay, I gotta, I forgot to load this up, but I
have to say I got a bunch of feedback on the last tip. And I
want to, I want to. I
Adam Curry: thought people liked it. I thought people liked that
tip. I saw people posting on x about it, yeah,
John C Dvorak: yeah. But the problem is that with that tip is
that there was a I could have topped it with something that's
a little more close to home, which is that apparently, Steve
Gibson,
Adam Curry: oh, he has software. He's always has some software.
He has
John C Dvorak: a free software that specifically for this
product, for this purpose. Oh, I didn't, Oh, didn't really. Yeah,
and so I wanted to tip that, and I just got to get the name of
it. I don't have it on my I forgot to print it out. But it's
a, I think if you go to his website, Steven Gibson,
whatever, Steve,
Adam Curry: can anybody? Can anybody help us out real quick
in the trolls probably find it. So it does the exact same thing
by by making sure that
John C Dvorak: you're that you're the
Adam Curry: drive is real, grc.com
John C Dvorak: Steve Gibson, I hear us.
Adam Curry: I hear grc.com is what's being yeah,
John C Dvorak: that's, that would be his website. Yes. Okay,
yeah. So go to valid drive. That's
Adam Curry: the name of it. Valid drive, valley, Valley li
drive, oh, Valley drive, Valley drive, the
John C Dvorak: valid drive, valid, if it's valid. So anyway,
so I wanted to do that. And, you know, since I've been backing
off on some of these, because this newer, and it does, you
know, the other one is, kind of is still floating around, but
this would probably be better, better way to go. That's your
tip. Oh, that's
Adam Curry: the tip for today.
John C Dvorak: Yeah.
