John C Dvorak: Well, you do the way I say it away. The
government coming in.
Unknown: Adam curry. John C Dvorak, Thursday,
Adam Curry: October 17, 2024 this your award winning gimbal
nation. Media assassination episode 1704,
Unknown: this is no agenda, celebrating
Adam Curry: six weeks in friend and broadcasting live from the
heart of the Texas Hill Country, right here in FEMA Region,
number six in the morning. Everybody. I'm Adam curry,
John C Dvorak: and from Northern Silicon Valley, where we've
noticed that for the first time in eight years, they've brought
out the b2 bombers to bomb the crap out of Yemen. I'm John C
Dvorak. It's crack
Unknown: bottom buzzkill in the morning.
Adam Curry: Well, speaking of bombs,
John C Dvorak: did you read that in the main street? Was that on
CBS News?
Adam Curry: No, I got it from dude named Muhammad, like you
did, I think.
John C Dvorak: No, I got it from the defense one newsletter. I
mean, we're bombing the crap out of the the Houthis. Yeah, this
isn't the top of the news.
Adam Curry: I got here. Dude note, dude named Mohammed, who
is our boots on the ground in the region. Yeah, we have a
couple of them. ITM gents, Operation New Order is
progressing well. Yahya senoa is dead. The backup of the backup
leader Hezbollah is dead, and American B twos are bombing the
Houthis almost there before November, so Trump can finish it
up with a phone call. Thank you for your courage. Dude named
Muhammad, he's
John C Dvorak: got the right eye. He does off with a phone
call, yeah, say before you
Adam Curry: continue, we had a six week cycle moment here in
Fredericksburg this morning. Oh, in Fredericks, yes, at 10am the
Gillespie County Sheriff office deputies conducted a search and
inventory of a U haul box truck at the impound lot. They had
apparently arrested some dude who was driving through
Fredericksburg from Washington state. At that time, the San
Antonio Police Department bomb squad was notified, Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, explosives and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation all showed up, and the search and
inventory of the U haul stemmed from an arrest that occurred on
Friday. The person driving the U haul was wanted out of
Washington for the theft over $400,000 worth of coins and
precious metals, which were located in the U haul, along
with several explosive devices
John C Dvorak: that were going to blow up the goods that
Adam Curry: were removed from the U haul, a few were detonated
within the safety zone here in Fredericksburg. They detonated
him over by the Walmart. So this doesn't, doesn't this have,
we're gonna blow
John C Dvorak: these things up. Bill, over by the Walmart. Now
get some attention. We'll get some news coverage.
Adam Curry: Doesn't this have all the hallmarks of some it
does weak, weak brother, who they just said, All right, man,
you take this and they had, let's say, what else did they
find? Numerous ammo cans of ammunition, a handgun and body
armor. This guy was ready. He was ready. Yeah, woo. It's
great.
John C Dvorak: Well, that's probably a better news story
than I. Let me just go back to the b2 thing, yeah, in the same
newsletter. I want to read this because I didn't see this on
CBS. Oh, I can't have that. I didn't see Nora talking about
this. Listen to this, Raytheon. You heard anything about
Raytheon?
Adam Curry: I've heard of them. I hear their stock is up
John C Dvorak: to pay nearly $1 billion for defrauding the DOD.
Oh, what? Yeah, allegedly bribing Qatari official, the
company took in more than 111 million more than it was owed.
Wow, during two set two, two, not one, two separate schemes in
connection with the Patriot missile systems and a radar
system goes on Raytheon. Raytheon official said the
company is taking, we're taking responsibility for the
misconduct, but, but it, but it occurred. Listen to this quote,
largely prior to 2020. Oh, large Trump,
Adam Curry: Trump. This is someone getting back at Trump
for that taken $1.7 billion off of Air Force. One
John C Dvorak: rewind, yeah. In August, Raytheon was fined 200
million for the on our unauthorized export of defense
technology to China, Russia, Iran and elsewhere. There
Adam Curry: you go.
John C Dvorak: How come this? Isn't it like running right at
this would be the top of the news instead of, you know, these
various interviews of Kamala? No,
Adam Curry: instead, we have to go to the lie of the day, the
lie of the day. We play first the lie of the day as going
viral and what everybody is responding to in. Including your
vice president. And then we shall play it in context,
because this actually comes from Sunday, and I played a few
clips. I didn't even realize that they could turn this into
another very fine people hoax. But here it is the viral clip.
Unknown: I think the bigger problem is the enemy from
within, not even the people that have come in and destroying our
country, by the way, totally destroying our country, the
towns, the villages, are being inundated. Villages. I don't
think they're the problem in terms of Election Day. I think
the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some
very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left
lunatics. And I think they're the and it should be very easily
handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really
necessary, by the military. So
Adam Curry: that was, and we'll get to this later. Taken that
Trump is going to seek the military. On you, on you. On you
people, on journalists, on people he doesn't like,
political enemies. Oh, now let's
John C Dvorak: that's a good one.
Adam Curry: Only women only do that. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: women, women do it well, you know, all right, so
Adam Curry: now we will play this in context, as discussed on
Maria bartiromos Sunday morning futures,
Unknown: everyone all over the world, the Congo in Africa,
we've taken in hundreds of people from their prisons the
Congo all the way in Africa, many, many countries, the Middle
East, we're taking in massive numbers of people and many
terrorists, and they're coming into our country, and they're
Middle Eastern terrorists. And from Asia we're taking in, and a
lot from South America. It was
an Afghan refugee charged with plotting us Election Day
Massacre.
Nothing surprises me.
What about that? Though, are you expecting chaos on election day?
No thanks. Not from the side that votes for Trump. But I'm
just wondering if these outside agitators will start up on
election day. Let's say you win. I mean, let's not, let's let's
remember, you've got 50,000 Chinese nationals in this
country in the last couple of years, the people on the
terrorist watch list, 350 in the last couple of years. Like you
said, 13,000 murderers and 15,000 rapists. What are you
expecting? Joe Biden said he doesn't think it's going to be a
peaceful election day? Well, he
doesn't have any idea what's happening in Rome, as he spends
most of his day sleeping. I think the bigger problem is the
enemy from within, not even the people that have come in and
destroying our country, by the way, totally destroying our
country, the towns, the villages, are being inundated.
But I don't think they're the problem in terms of Election
Day. I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We
have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical
left lunatics. And I think they're the and it should be
very easily handled by if necessary, by National Guard, or
if really necessary by the military, because they can't let
that happen.
Adam Curry: So what Trump is saying here, and it doesn't take
a genius to figure it out, is Biden has said Election day is
not going to be not going to be calm. Trump says, well, we
should bring in the National Guard if it's not calm, but that
would be from the sick people who we expect will pro if Trump
wins, we'll probably go rioting and doing stuff like Black Lives
Matter. It was very obvious. What he was saying. Was it
obvious to you?
John C Dvorak: If you hear it in context, it's obvious, but
that's not what they're playing.
Adam Curry: So I think this, and I'll just play this clip, and
then I'll let you
John C Dvorak: go, because I like the idea, by the way I get,
I'll give you this. I like the idea of equating this with the
very fine people hoax, because they knew these hoaxes to make
things work. And
Adam Curry: so I think this was, well, we'll talk about it. But
this was probably the
John C Dvorak: way, fortunately, Kamala, Kamala Kamala, she can't
use it as saying the only reason I ran is because the very fine
people,
Adam Curry: no, but I think this was the only reason she showed
up on Brett bear for this. This would seem like a sadistic
ritual against her by her own team to make her do this and and
this
John C Dvorak: is how I have thoughts on this interview. So
Adam Curry: I'll play this from CNN, Aaron and and this is
pertains to the this new hoax. At
Unknown: one point, Harris visibly angry, she was railing
against Trump and his threat to target what He has called the
enemy from within.
He's the one who talks about an enemy within within, an enemy
within, talking about the American people, suggesting he
would turn the American military on the American people.
Adam Curry: We asked just for context, he will not be
president on election day. So he is literally saying, well, the
Biden administration should. Clean this up with the National
Guard. He won't even have the power to do that on election
day.
John C Dvorak: Good point people
Unknown: suggesting he would turn the American military on
the American people.
We asked that question to the former president today, Harris
Faulkner had a town hall, and this is how he responded. I
heard
about that. They were saying I was like threatening. I'm not
threatening anybody. They're the ones doing the threatening. They
do phony investigations. I've been investigated more than
Alphonse Capone. He was the greatest weaponization of
government is terrible, so
I'm sorry, and with all due respect, that clip was not what
he has been saying about the enemy within, that He has
repeated when he's speaking about the American people.
That's not what you just showed he was asking. That's not what
you just showed, in all fairness and respect to you question that
we asked, he didn't show that. And here's the bottom line, He
has repeated it many times. And you and I both know that, and
you and I both know that he has talked about turning the
American military on the American people. He has talked
about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He
has talked about locking people up because they disagree with
him. This is a democracy, and in a democracy, the President of
the United States, in the United States of America, should be
willing to be able to handle criticism without saying he'd
lock people up for doing it. And this is what is at stake. Well,
Adam Curry: this is what is at stake. I just have to play this
45 seconds from Tim waltz, because he really drove home the
message that they're trying to convey. This is a must win state
for Kamala Harris to take the White House. Chief Political
Reporter Jason Zimmerman was at the event and two unexpected
stops after walls arrived in the area five plane all right, comes
walls. Well, hello
Unknown: Green Bay. Good to see you. All
greeting hundreds of supporters inside the Ki Convention Center
in Green Bay. Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz, standing
alongside fellow Democrats, including the governors of
Wisconsin and Michigan, making the case for not allowing Donald
Trump
to return to the White House.
John C Dvorak: Yesterday, he
Unknown: went on Fox News. That's a safe place for him. He
went on there, and he suggested that he is going to send the
military against the enemy from within. Now I want you to think
about it. In other words, Americans, just to be clear, if
any of your neighbors or friends or anybody thinks about that,
you know he's talking about he's talking about you before the
event
Adam Curry: and the news media played along with this
completely,
Unknown: oh, just all the
Adam Curry: All, all, all in now no agenda. We don't we're not
here to participate in the culture war agenda. We are here
to serve you to deconstruct your world to the best of our God
given ability, and we will do that today once again. So this
interview made no sense to me. Why would she do this?
John C Dvorak: Well, I thought it was a bad interview. People
the fox side. Well, it wasn't a bad interview. I thought it was
a bad interview from Bear's perspective. Oh, interesting. I
thought she steamrolled him. She brought in her normal In fact, I
want to play this pre clip. This was this woman, darmet Dillon,
that was on Tucker Carlson, oh, yes, no,
Adam Curry: Harmeet. It's Harmeet. Harmeet. She's a
lawyer, and I think,
John C Dvorak: yeah, she's a Lauren, she worked with Kamala
in the city, I guess. And she's
Adam Curry: because she's a Republican, isn't she? I think
she ran, she ran to be or she vieds to be the chair of the
orange she
John C Dvorak: was in and around Kamala circles, okay, but, but
this is the part that I thought was interesting. There's two
things in here. One was the pronunciation of her name. They
talk about that, and then they talk about, I think the most
significant thing, which is what rubs people the wrong way about
camelo, which is the fact that she's a Brahmin during
Unknown: this period, how does she pronounce her first name?
And I ask, because she's on video, pronouncing it Kamala and
kamela two different ways. Carmela,
so I remember her putting the emphasis on the second syllable.
So it was like, Kamala. Kamala. Kamala was how she pronounced
it. Kamala, not Kamala. Kamala is actually how Indian Indians
pronounce it. The name derives from the word for Lotus and
Sanskrit, which is Komal. So, yeah, so you know that that is
how you're supposed to conventional name. It's a, it's
a conventional name, absolutely. And it's a, it's a, it's a
Brahmin. She's a, she's from a Brahmin family. Her mother is
Brahman, and so, you know, high caste background. I
thought she was oppressed. I.
Yeah, she's a shapeshifter, like I said. So although, you know, I
saw an explanation in one of these liberal publications
trying to explain how throughout the most of her career, she's
passed as African American and not mixed race, because, of
course, not until Tiger Woods became prominent did people
parse out their differences in their racial background. So, you
know, it was, it was suggested that she had to pick one or the
other early in her career, and she's largely identified as
African American. And so she really focused on the African
American community in San Francisco, she identified as she
lived in a black neighborhood. Did she live in Hunters Point,
uh, she did not live in Hunters Point, yeah. Now she, she lived
in a nice condo South of Market, in the Middle Park area, right?
Yeah, absolutely. She was, quote, focused on the F. She was
focused on the African American community.
Adam Curry: Brahmin, there you go from a
John C Dvorak: yes, I listened to the show. They're
responsible. Brahmins, I will say, yes, we've talked about
this. I think
Adam Curry: so they have not denounced her.
John C Dvorak: I don't think brahmans can do that. I would
like to know what is, because this arrogance that she
portrays, this kind of uh oh, let me talk. And I mean, this
look on her face, the whole way she acts, is extremely Brahman.
My son,
Adam Curry: I like this. I don't I mean, you're the Brahmin
expert, the brexpert.
John C Dvorak: Well, we have a lot of Brahmins in the area, and
they're in high tech. They dominate. I did well, I'd say
they dominate. At least sections
Adam Curry: of high tech is such a Nadella, a Brahmin. Oh,
absolutely. And who's the guy from Google the what's his name?
Oh, for sure. Okay, Brahmins
John C Dvorak: and I said that he had, they exude a certain
arrogance. We have, the brahmans, we have have the same
arrogance. And they, they're proud of themselves. It's a
caste system in India, and they're the top of the cast. The
ones that we have are extremely irresponsible, because they,
they do not have the they kind of ignore the what's called the
Noblesse oblige. I think it was called, it's the responsibility
of these classes to, like, for example, donate to the show,
Adam Curry: hello. Oh, I did it already.
John C Dvorak: Oh, you did that's good already? Yeah, I'm
Adam Curry: already on the races. Hello, doing it. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: So my son, who works with a lot of Brahmins,
says that they have their responsibility if we don't have
Indian donors. He believes is because the Brahmins don't
donate to the show in any reason, in any real way that
they're obligated to do because by their cast, because they're
the ones who lead the way to other Brahmins and so and so,
since they don't help us at all, basically, except occasionally
we can, you can go on about them in such a way that's probably
not complimentary, and I think that Kamala Harris with her
really sits there arrogantly. She's a bad Brom lectures
people. Is from this culture. It's not from her being black,
no. And I think it rubs people the wrong way. And what we don't
need in this country to any extreme is a Brahmin President
of the United States. There you go. Not a class structured
system. And I think it, I think she rubs people the wrong way. I
don't care how much money she spends it. I don't even know how
much corruption they can throw at it, but I don't think that
that she can get in because of that.
Adam Curry: No, there's a No, she's not going to be president.
No way. So,
John C Dvorak: so, so Brett bear does a, uh, interview with her.
That sucked, by the way, and even though the fox side. So
Brett asked a follow up question. He didn't get
anywhere. I
Adam Curry: saw that afterwards, you know? Oh, yes, Brett, I
think you you really you were good at steering it back, and
you were really good. Oh, this is a good, good job, Brett. Good
job, by the way. Brett's kind of got a wide load there. You don't
see him normally because he's behind the desk. Yeah, well,
he's a big guy. He's a big guy, yeah,
John C Dvorak: but he is not an interviewer to any ex to an
extreme, as I would say, is I wouldn't call him a good
interviewer, and he let her kind of dominate the conversation and
give him the old, well, I'm talking, you know, let me finish
going on and on. He could when she says, Let me finish my he
said, Well, you're not answering the question. I'd let you what
he should say, stuff like, stuff like, I'd let you finish if you
were answering the question. It's a simple question, right,
right? But he never did any of that, and he let her ramble. She
went on and on and on, and I have a couple of can
Adam Curry: I just make a suggestion that that people like
Brett, bear and Fox in general, that they feel they have to be
somewhat cautious? Just in case she wins, so they still have
access.
John C Dvorak: I don't believe that's true. No,
Adam Curry: okay, that was, that's what I thought. I
thought.
John C Dvorak: I don't think that's true, okay? I think
they're just not that good. No,
Adam Curry: nobody watches these shows anymore.
John C Dvorak: Well, everybody's watching. That's a whole
different topic of conversation. Everybody's agree. Everybody's
Adam Curry: watching the golden bachelor. Hello, Oh, I did it
again. Oh no,
John C Dvorak: I gotta stop Yes, okay,
Adam Curry: I'm gonna stop it now. All right, from this moment
on, I'm stopping it. Here we go. All right, here we go. Hello.
Nope, you're not going to get it from me. Nope. I'm done. I'm
done with it. I'm done. Okay, I'm disgusted with myself. Now,
John C Dvorak: let's start with a summary that NPR gave of the
Harris bear. This Harris bear summary, NPR this is what they
thought of the of the thing. And NPR and a bunch of I there's a
bunch of tiktokers and everybody in between saying, Oh, she
cleaned his clock. You know, she's she won.
Adam Curry: Let's listen to the elitist voices, elitist
Unknown: voices of America. This is NPR
or PBS Democrat Kamala Harris took questions on immigration,
transgender rights in the economy in a wide ranging
interview conducted by Fox News host Bret Baier, the Vice
President, pushing back on charges she's flip flopped in
terms of her positions, Harris saying, my presidency will not
be a continuation of Joe Biden's presidency if she wins the White
House in November and asked about comments she's made about
supporters of GOP rival Donald Trump, Harris, Bristol. If
you listen to Donald Trump, if you watch any of his rallies,
he's the one who tends to demean and belittle and diminish the
American people. He's the one who talks about an enemy within,
within, an enemy within talking about the American people,
suggesting he would turn the American military on the
American people,
speaking at a rally earlier today in Pennsylvania,
surrounded by more than 100 Republicans who now say they'll
vote for her over Trump Harris, again, called Trump unstable and
unhinged.
Adam Curry: I think I really, since everyone had you,
John C Dvorak: don't you think that was the most slanted report
you've ever heard, and it backed up your thesis about the media
going along with this. You know, the military attacking the
American public. That's
Adam Curry: why she was there. That was the only thing she had
to launch in some desperation move outside of what I just
thought was a satanic ritual by her team on her why? Why? Why
you don't need to go on break.
John C Dvorak: You're I think what you're saying is self
contradictory.
Adam Curry: Oh,
John C Dvorak: well, you're saying that she went there to
get launched this at work, the media picked it up, CBS. I have
CBS clips saying the same thing. They're on her side. And you
just heard NPR going on about Trump being unhinged. It was a
huge success. How? You know, maybe, okay,
Adam Curry: okay, now I'll give you that. I'll give you that,
but it was still a satanic ritual
John C Dvorak: that was, well, everything that they do is a
Satanic Thank you. Redundant. All right, I'll stop saying it.
We agree. Here's a couple of here's another one. This is a
Tiktok analysis. Is it Harris, bear talker analysis? This is
somebody who also watched it and came away funny.
Unknown: Okay, so the interview with Fox News, Brett, somebody
or other and Kamala Harris just ended, and here's the
assessment. What? Wasn't actually an interview? Uh, this
Brett guy spent the entire time talking over Kamala Harris, my
hope is misogynist, that mansplaining the the the level
at which he was interrupting her, refusing to allow her to
speak, talking over her, running right over her, with his list of
all of his questions, his queued up video clips. Basically, he
was using the 25 minutes to indict Kamala Harris on behalf
of the viewing audience. Every single question he spent about
15 minutes talking about immigration and would not let
her speak, then switched over to the use of public money for
gender reassignment in prisons, and then the rest of it was oh,
72% for this or for that, and why is that? And how come half
of America, you know, wants Donald Trump?
Adam Curry: Oh, I can completely see how someone would view it
that way. That doesn't surprise me at all, right?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, in fact. And these, these things, I think
everyone's mind has been made up for a while. Yeah, just dicing
on the cake. Yeah. But let's listen. I have two clips from
the from the interview that are kind of okay, but then I have a
clip from a different interview that is the direction that bear
should have gone be and I'll tell you play these two
interviews, and I'll give you some analysis of what Gutfeld
and others felt, because they were all jacked up that this was
great. Oh,
Adam Curry: what's good? I mean. And so just what I heard right
away, oh, oh, the four staffers would have telling them to wrap
it up, to wrap it up, to wrap it up for staffers. Four staffers.
That is the Republican side of the response.
John C Dvorak: Let's start with hair. Harris, bear last
unstable.
Unknown: He's unstable. Stable. He is unstable.
He's not well. You say he's mentally not stable.
He's not let me ask you this.
You told many interviewers that Joe Biden was on his game that
ran around circles on his staff. When did you first notice that
President Biden's mental faculties appeared diminished?
Joe Biden, I had watched in from the Oval Office to the situation
room, and he has the judgment and the experiment and
experience to do exactly what he has done in making very
important decisions on behalf of the American people. Joe Biden
is not on ballot. Understand Donald Trump. Donald,
Adam Curry: she should have answered with that. She should
have started with that. Joe Biden, she
John C Dvorak: would she dreamed that up in the middle of her
thought process. She actually had a thought process here, and
she came up with that because she this caught her off guard.
You could tell she was stunned, yeah, by the question, because
this is nothing that she's been addressing. Now, wait,
Adam Curry: let me finish the clip. It's your clip. I'm sorry.
I just I wanted to say she should have started with that
like Joe Biden is not on the ballot.
John C Dvorak: Understand, Donald Trump.
Unknown: Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump and Donald
George Clooney said
within a few minutes of talking to President Biden fundraiser
that he thought this was not the same Joe Biden that we saw on
the debate
stage is on the ballot. You met
with him at least once a week for three and a half years. You
didn't have any concerns.
I think the American people have a concern about Donald Trump,
which is why the people who know him best try, including leaders
of our national security community, have all spoken out,
even people who worked for him in the Oval Office, worked with
him in the Situation Room, and have said he is unfit and
dangerous and should never be President of the United States
again, including his former vice president, which is why the job
was open for him to choose another running mate. So that is
a fact. That is a fact.
Adam Curry: It this. So I think you're right that this was
really an interview to seed the M 5m with all kinds of facts
that she used. And of course, we know which one stuck, but
that's, I mean, it was all every answer was about Trump, which is
what, what she's been doing at her rallies and everything,
pretty much,
John C Dvorak: yes, and here and here's the second clip I pulled
from this thing. This is the parish bear, the Trump trans ad.
This plays the trans ad for her.
Unknown: This particular one from the Trump campaign has
gotten a lot of attention.
Kamala supports taxpayer funded sex changes for prisoners,
surgery
for prisoners, for prisoners, every transgender inmate in the
prison system would have access.
So are you still in support of using taxpayer dollars to help
prison inmates or detained illegal aliens to transition to
another gender,
I will follow the law. And it's a law that Donald Trump actually
followed. You're probably familiar with now. It's a public
report that under Donald Trump's administration, these surgeries
were available to on a medical necessity basis, to people in
the federal prison system. And I think, frankly, that ad from the
Trump campaign is a little bit of like throwing, you know,
stones when you live in a glass house. The
Trump aides say that he never advocated for that prison policy
and no gender transition, no surgeries happened in this
pregnancy. Would you still advocate for using taxpayer
dollars for gender reassignment? I
will follow the law. He did.
You would have a say as president like I
said, I think it's really he spent $20 million on those ads
trying to create a sense of fear in the voters, because he
actually. Has no plan in this election that is about focusing
on the needs of the American people, whereas at $20 million
on that ad on an issue that as it relates to the biggest issues
that affect the American people, is really quite remote.
Adam Curry: I bet you the people at Fox are going, when are you
spending your 1 billion? Kamala, you got a billion dollars. He
spent 20 million on that ad. Well, the
John C Dvorak: way she says that he could have called her out on
ads don't cost $20 million
Adam Curry: I think she meant the ad buy, but that's not what
she said. No, okay,
John C Dvorak: he could call her out on all the stuff that she
says is not what she meant. Oh, that's what I mean. Wait a
minute.
Adam Curry: Wait now you're disappointed somehow. And Brett
bear,
John C Dvorak: I've been very whole thing was like this, and
here's what I finally concluded, because it seems as if what they
did was listen to her speeches over and over and decided to
grill her on stuff that she already had rehearsed. And so
her rehearsed lines came out, and they would talk about this
dream. Gutfield talked about how good triggers, sorry, a good
Adam Curry: trigger. Good way to get her to say what you want is
just trigger her with the stuff she's rehearsed.
John C Dvorak: Yes, but that's all she did. Was she just said
that the same rehearsed material. And once in a while,
she'd go they rarely, and she did come up with some good
stuff, like Trump's not heard Biden's not on the ballot when
he could have countered that, by the way, when she says, Well,
Biden's not on the ballot, he says, I'm not talking about
who's on the bet. He should have said, I'm not talking about
who's on the ballot again,
Adam Curry: John. I mean, let's not be disappointed in the in
the in the mainstream media. This is what they do. They suck.
I'm
John C Dvorak: deciding, Fox, it could be done better, is what
I'm saying, of course, of course. Now, so let's go to and
what he should have done, instead of going along with the
program and looking at what she already said and then asking her
about what she'd already said, that she already had rehearsed,
which made for a boring back and forth. It was terrible that no
matter what anyone thinks that Brett, Bill Brett, bear, oh,
Fox. You went to Fox. Blah, blah, blah on a podcast that I
want to play this clip. This is Harris with Soledad O'Brien. Oh,
they we know Soledad. We know Soledad. We know so he's like,
now here's what Brett should have done, what Soledad did,
which is ask off the wall questions and let her go off.
This is an unbelievable clip. This is a classic, and he could
have done that instead of it was almost as though his plan, let's
ask her questions that she has she has already rehearsed and
the answer to a million times. Let's go ask those questions
again. Let's ask the same questions, which he fact did,
the same questions that were asked on 60 minutes about, you
know, how many people came across the border? No, no, no.
He should have done what Soledad simply did, which is, let her
ramble about stuff that just off the wall. Listen to this is
agreeing
Unknown: to voter ID, one
of those compromises that you support. I
don't think that we should underestimate what that could
mean, because in some people's mind, that means, well, you're
going to have to Xerox or photocopy your ID to send it in
to prove who you are, who you are? Well, there are a whole lot
of people, especially people who live in rural communities, who
don't there's no Kinkos, there's no Office Max near them. People
have to understand that when we're talking about voter ID
laws, be clear about who you have in mind and what would be
required of them to prove who they are. Of course, people have
to prove who they are, but not in a way that makes it them,
almost impossible for them to prove who they
Adam Curry: are. You know, we're so used to her. I mean, here
I'll give you, let me give you example of, you know, she was on
Charlemagne the God, and Charlemagne brought in, brought
in a reverend, and she's like, Oh, I grew up in the black
church. I grew up in the black church in Canada. I grew up in
the black church. Oh, yeah, Canada, right, yeah. I grew up
in the black church, black church. Oh, it's the it's right
near you, the 23rd Avenue Church of God in in Oakland. Yeah. And
so she, she went to the black church because that's what you
do when you're black. We all know that. You know, whenever
you're in trouble, you go to the church. And here's what she
said, because what
Unknown: we see is so hard to see that we lose faith or a
vision of those things we cannot see. But must know, amen
Adam Curry: sister, she's vapid.
John C Dvorak: Yes, and that the Soledad question, which was
just, what do you think about voter ID? And she goes off about
Kinkos, and you have to mail in. Where do you have to mail in a
photocopy of anything? And it's just like, What are you talking
about? Is the. Way, if Brett bear, if they had a clue at Fox,
which you, I mean, you have to go along with your theory on
this, which they're just really a bunch of Democrats in
disguise, yeah, and they're not going to do anything that's
that's aggressive, as opposed to Soledad, who's just, you know,
kind of asking Rando questions and letting her talk. Yeah. It's
like, you know, she could, she's just gonna dig herself a hole,
as opposed to what she's already used to talking about. This Bret
bear interview was a disaster.
Adam Curry: I'm glad you got that off your chest. I mean, and
I agree with you, I was just okay. I didn't understand why it
was done, you know, other than to give the mainstream media
some fuel to say Trump is going to come after you and, oh, he
John C Dvorak: also says that, oh, I have the guts to go on
Fox. I think there was an element of that because, you
know, well, you know, they get Trump's been doing this and
that, so now, oh, I went on Fox. Okay, well, that's out of the
way. Checkbox.
Adam Curry: Did you hear by any chance, Carville?
John C Dvorak: Not? Well, I heard him last week. Oh
Adam Curry: no, no. You have to hear Carville on the the new
very fine people hoax on the enemy from went from within, and
he's on Psaki show, who's sitting there like she just
dumped a turd in her Pampers.
John C Dvorak: When do? What day was this?
Adam Curry: This? It might have, I don't, I don't have the date,
but it's after the after this interview. So it's in the last
few the bear interview. No, no, before the bear interview, after
the Bartiromo. The money on the interview, okay? Because it's
about the about the enemy from within, and why anyone lets
Carvel on the air anymore is, is a riddle. It's a mystery to me.
Does he have any political clout? Is he important anymore?
He
John C Dvorak: doesn't work for anybody. He just comes on as a
kind of a loose cannon. I think that's why they bring him on for
entertainment purposes. Well, he
Adam Curry: takes it to a whole new level. Now, mind you, on the
Maria interview, right after the enemy from within, she says,
hey, you've booked Madison Square Garden. And he's like,
oh, yeah, yeah, we're gonna have a good time in Madison Square
Garden. I always wanted to play Madison Square Garden. Madison
Square Garden. Now listen to Carville. I
Unknown: did not realize when I said that, that he would
actually go on television and say, I'm going to use the
military to round up my political enemies. When I said
that, I didn't General Flynn, who's going to be very senior in
this administration, didn't say that the gates of hell will
reign on my political enemies. When I said that, I didn't know
that he was going to schedule a rally in Madison Square Garden
to mimic the Nazi rally of 1939 so we have that they're telling
you, and by the way, if they win, they're going to correctly
say, we told you an election what we're going to do, and you
voted for us. You have green lighted the whole thing. And if
we don't tell people about that, if they don't, if these young
black men, how do you think they're going to do if you're a
young black male and Trump inspired on a roundup of people,
how well do you think you're going to do in that you think
you got nothing to lose? How about looking at American
history for one time and see what can happen here? And they
are telling you, we're not making this up. This is not we
can be fact checked by anybody. They have promised military
Roundup. They promised the gates of hell will rain on the
enemies. The Supreme Court has green lighted it. They were
asked a question, if a Navy Seal is ordered to assassinate.
John C Dvorak: This is the Supreme Court has green lighted
Adam Curry: you can fact check
Unknown: Roundup. They promised the gates of hell will rain on
the enemies. The Supreme Court has green lighted it. They were
asked a question, if a Navy Seal is ordered to assassinate a
political enemy, the president can't beat nothing wrong with
that. That's just part of his job. Telling you they're doing
all of this. Pay attention to them right now. Please. They're
telling you
it's, it's I'm exactly,
exactly what he's saying. It is,
that is why I think Harris is telling people to watch his
rallies. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, okay.
John C Dvorak: Oh man. That you know what? I did hear parts of
that because I remember the him saying that Nazi rallies, the
Nazi rally, because grand, you know Madison Square Gardens, but
the fact this is the insane, and yes, it's great. She's that's
the worst, because now her ratings are next to nothing. So
nobody's I saw it the truth, the true believers watched, yeah,
you saw it as a of course, of course. As a research watch,
yes, hello. Oh, the insanity of this guy.
Adam Curry: And why and why? I mean that nothing left,
John C Dvorak: and he this in his Louisiana accent is off the
rails. It's gone so bad you can barely understand him. He sounds
like a dummy. He's like he sounds like one of those. Which
brings back the point why they have this guy on? He sounds like
somebody always pointed this out to me. Some Texas person said to
me, you know, they always put the dumbest people they can find
on television when they're representing the South. Yes. So
when you have like, a bad situation, CBS will bring on
somebody. Well, you do the way I say it a way the government
coming in to make it sound like the guy's an idiot. Why would
Carville sounds like one of those guys? Well, he is. Sounds
like the local idiot. He
Adam Curry: is. What he's saying is idiotic. Yes, he is. He is
one of those with the accent and an idiot the Supreme Court green
lit it, yeah, Supreme Court green remember it was, it was a
question from the lawyer who said, so, if a Green Beret, you
know, if you can order a Green Beret to a set. This was
asinine, completely unhinged and crazy. And I'm just going to
say, they want him to win. They want him to win. And it was
actually Muhammad Ali, who I was. Someone sent me this clip.
It's 45 seconds, and back in the day, Muhammad Ali was asked, you
know, people say hey, people want you to be president. You
want to be president, so just replace the word black here with
orange. Would you like to be president? No, no, no,
Unknown: sir, too dangerous.
Like in other words, here's
a ship. People are dancing on the ship, a lot of money's on
the ship, lot of foods on the ship. And I cannot integrate on
the ship. I cannot have equality on the ship. I'm just in the
galley working, and I never could get up and see the captain
the ship. Now, all of a sudden, the man tells me, say, come on
down. I'll leave out of the galley. I want you to come up
here and here, have something to drink. What do you want? And
giving me number one spot from the galley to the number one
spot, I say, this shit must be sinking
Adam Curry: Exactly. Oh,
John C Dvorak: that's a great clip from in that with that
perspective
Adam Curry: and to know this is, this is an amazing thing that
someone sent me this morning from this. This is an outlet
called straight arrow news from time to time. Yes, I've heard of
him, yeah. But
John C Dvorak: this is, is promoted by a number of right
wingers. Well,
Adam Curry: not many people send me this because and they don't
have a lot of views, so I'm not quite sure who's funding them,
but this is now the government putting this in from FBI
specifically putting this in from information out, was where
we less than two weeks from Election Day. This to me, if
anyone picks this up and runs with it, this is a October
surprise right here,
Unknown: the FBI has revised its crime data from 2022 first,
reporting a 2.1% decrease in violent crime, now revealing a
4.5% increase, the increase from 2021 to 2022 in each Crime
category is depicted here. The revision includes 80,000 more
incidents of violent crime than previously reported, 1699 more
murders. 7780 more rapes and more than 33,000 robberies and
37,000 aggravated assaults. The FBI released this new data
without formally announcing the changes, noting only on its
website that the 2022, violent crime rate had been updated. The
discovery was first highlighted by John Lott, an American
economist and political commentator. The revised data is
all publicly available.
Adam Curry: Wow. This is This is big this, I
John C Dvorak: know, and it also brings into question David
Muir's commentary during the fact check, yeah, yeah, the fact
check that he stopped a debate to fact checks and no, crimes
down. And the Democrats have been going on and on and on
about crime being down. I had it at the dinner table the other
day. Crime's down. Oh, man, it's harsh
Adam Curry: with your kids. It's harsh because you just want to
whip them, don't you?
John C Dvorak: No, they're worth arguing with
Adam Curry: now, well, take this clip to the next dinner table.
That'll work, that'll show them those whipper snappers.
John C Dvorak: Show them anything. I do have a series of
campaign overview clips from CBS, okay? Which tend to which
tend to show the attitude. I still think CBS has been cut
loose because they're read in anymore.
Adam Curry: Well, maybe, maybe they're in for Trump.
John C Dvorak: No, I don't know. It's just I, oh, wait, I'm.
Story.
Adam Curry: They're trying to be fair and balanced. Oh, that
makes no, they're
John C Dvorak: not. They're not trying to be fair and balanced,
but they're way. They're going. Well, before we do that, I have
let's just play this. This is a clip that was on from the on
point show that's on PBS about flip floppers. They went and
interviewed a bunch of people
Adam Curry: on the street. Man on the street. Warning, warning.
Will Robinson, well, what?
John C Dvorak: We know this a bunch of bull crap. But I just
want to play this because of the middle you tell me that this
guy, that there's just some rando, doesn't sound like walls
Adam Curry: second time you're using Rando, just letting you
know,
John C Dvorak: thank you. I really like the word Rando. I
Adam Curry: like to I like saying hello, but I'm stopping
myself. Well,
John C Dvorak: I'll minimize random, all right, but I don't
know if I want to really stop it like Hello.
Adam Curry: Thanks. Rub it in. Rub it in.
Unknown: Brain problem,
John C Dvorak: because I'm just listening to this. I'm what
milieu is, walls, a part of
Adam Curry: touchdown. Timmy,
John C Dvorak: except maybe I, maybe I don't know. I just, I
just very skeptical about but when I heard this, I said, Wow,
this guy's got he's in the same millions. Sounds exactly the
same. Just play it.
Unknown: Who says he still needs to know more about Kamala
Harris?
Her style is great. I just wish I really learned more, and
because of that, I'm not going to give him my full 100% because
I just have to learn more to see how things are, you know, gonna
fall out with this all the vice presidents too, yeah, if I was a
vice president doing the whole thing hands down. Okay, yeah,
Vance scares the stuff out of me. Wow,
John C Dvorak: am I wrong. Are
Adam Curry: you insinuating the gay milieu?
John C Dvorak: It's a it's a type of gay I'm unfamiliar with
because I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Adam Curry: Do No, no, it's your flamboyant gays. There's
John C Dvorak: different gays present as kind of, I'd say
stereotypes. Yeah, not all of them. Yes. I mean, there's
plenty of closeted gays that are just, or not even closeted, but
they just act normal. But yet the flamboyant types, yeah,
anyway, again, I'm sorry.
Adam Curry: I know, I know he's and yes, you should be, but he
definitely sucks when it comes to hunting what
John C Dvorak: wouldn't even load his own gun.
Adam Curry: What was that? With a Beretta? With a Beretta? Oh,
this is a Beretta. Yeah, I'll blast them out of the sky.
John C Dvorak: Okay, let's go with Trump campaign. Trump. This
is CBS reporting. There's a two clips reporting on Trump.
Trump's part of the on the campaign. It's, I want to you
listen to the following. It's got a negative intonation which
will contrast greatly with the positive intonation they give to
Harris. I'm Norah O'Donnell.
Unknown: We're going to begin tonight with the race for
president and new questions about the mental health and
behavior of FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, President Biden,
campaigning for vice president Kamala Harris on Tuesday, said
Trump has become unhinged, referring to a campaign event
this week where Trump swayed music for 40 minutes, Trump, now
78 would be the oldest person to become president, but he is
refusing to disclose his medical records, which is something
presidential nominees traditionally do in a town hall
aimed at courting women. Last night, Trump made numerous false
and strange statements, including claiming to be the
father of in vitro fertilization. We also have new
reporting tonight on the Harris campaign, including her new
outreach to Republicans looking for an alternative to Trump.
CBS, Nicole killing is going to lead us off with more on Donald
Trump and what his team is saying tonight.
We really are the party for IVF. We want fertilization, and it's
all the way
tonight, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP under fire after making
this strange claim about in vitro fertilization to an all
female town hall. Oh, I
want to talk about IVF. I'm the father of IVF. I want to hear
this question. He
made the claim less than 90 seconds before admitting Alabama
Senator Katie Britt had explained it to him. I said,
explain IVF. Very IVF, very quickly, and within about two
minutes, I understood it.
Adam Curry: Oh, wow. He said he lied. He is not a scientist. He
didn't create IVF. He's the father of nothing. Oh, man.
Okay, so this, yeah, they built a whole story around this. Or
tell me there's Yeah,
John C Dvorak: oh no, and there's mostly some more. But
the fact is, they really, they're hounding him about him
saying that, which was obviously in, you know, wasn't serious.
But I
Adam Curry: have to say, when I hear them say Harris is out
there trying to be an alternative that puts her in a
secondary position, the way they the way they say. That Harris
alternative. You know what I mean?
John C Dvorak: I'm more along the lines of the intonation
here. This is like, very negative, oh yeah. And then when
we get to the the two Harris cups, these are balanced. Let's
go with Trump to this the second part of this report,
Unknown: the procedure has been around for nearly 50 years. An
official with the Trump campaign told CBS News The former
president was simply reaffirming his support and made the
comments in jest, but it was no laughing matter for his
opponent. The Vice President Donald Trump
found him to be quite bizarre. Actually, called himself the
father of IVF, and if what he meant is taking responsibility?
Well, then, yeah, you should take responsibility for the fact
that one in three women in America lives in a Trump
abortion ban state. In another town hall geared toward Latino
voters, the former president also resurrected debunked claims
about Haitian immigrants eating pets, but took them a step
further. I
was just saying, what was reported that's been reported,
and eating other things too that they're not supposed to be but
this is all I do, is report. I have not I was there. I'm going
to be there, and we're going to take a look, and I'll give you a
full report when I do that, along
with his recent behavior, including dancing on stage to
question what she calls his unstable behavior. Meanwhile,
pressure is mounting on Trump to release his medical records,
after Harris released hers this weekend, Trump told CBS two
months ago he would make them public. You
are now the oldest candidate in this race. Will you release your
medical records? Sure
I do. I just had a medical exam, and I had a perfect score. The
Trump campaign recently released a vaguely worded letter and
other information from his doctors. Meantime, the former
president is getting a big fundraising boost tonight,
pulling in about $220 million over the last quarter from a
trio of billionaire donors, including Elon Musk, Nora,
Nicole
Killian in Atlanta. Thank you eating
Adam Curry: the dogs. I just love that. ISO, okay, yeah. So
he dances on stage, which he was doing to fill up time because
people had medical emergency. Somebody
John C Dvorak: almost died at the event, yeah? So
Adam Curry: he's like, oh, let's just turn and they the queue was
good. He says, let's play it loud. And they played it right
away. That was pretty impressive. Someone was on the
mix on the wheels of steel. Good to go
John C Dvorak: the something else I've noticed. You notice
that you see this with people that do, including certain
podcasters that have inappropriate laughter.
Adam Curry: Yes, many podcasters, people that
John C Dvorak: with inappropriate laughter have
always been convinced have no sense of humor, and so they
laugh at a lot of stuff, thinking, Well, maybe it's
funny, and I better laugh, because, you know, and Kamala
does this, she has a that stupid laugh. She laughs all the time,
but she has, obviously, if you listen to her, she has zero
sense of humor or even irony. She has no none of that. She has
no sense of humor at all. So she just laughs a lot and shares a
secret, yes. Okay, back to CBS, so they've done trashing Trump
for being unhinged again. Yes, this guy's been unhinged Since
2015
Adam Curry: How come they didn't bring in the the enemy from
within?
John C Dvorak: On this report, they didn't, for some reason, I
have no idea they brought they brought it in, believe me, but
this is now we go to campaign Harris. Clip one.
Unknown: Let's turn now to battleground Pennsylvania, where
vice president Kamala Harris launched a new push today to win
the support of Republicans, including with an interview on
Fox News where she said, If elected, her presidency would
not be a continuation of Joe Biden's. We get more now from
CBS. Robert Costa,
I am joined today by over 100 Republican leaders,
with current and former Republican officials on hand.
Vice President Harris lambasted former President Donald Trump
for saying, If elected, he would take on the quote enemy within.
He
says that as Commander in Chief, he would use our military to go
after them honestly, let that in use of the American military
after American citizens.
HARRIS also asked the crowd to consider comments from former
Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley Donald
Trump's top general. He has called Trump, and I quote,
fascist to the core. And said, quote, no one has ever been as
dangerous to this country.
Adam Curry: Mark Milley, who forced covid shots on his
troops. He's now he's hated. He. Let's,
John C Dvorak: let's go back to what she just said, quote,
quote, quote. She's not quoting Mark Milley, no, she's quoting
Woodward's book. Yes, yes, good point. It's secondhand
information. Woodward says he said this, but the way she
presents it is, Oh, Mark Milley said, quote, no, he didn't. He
hasn't denied it. He said it Good point, good
Adam Curry: point, fair point. But
John C Dvorak: this is like a and and CBS said nothing, no, it
was pointed out in other reports. And Fox said, when they
played some of this, they they mentioned that this is a quote
from the Woodward book, which you've already we've debunked
partly in the last show Yes, with our note from the guy who
sells PCR machines, yes, and Russia always had them, and so
Trump wasn't sending them to Russia. That was bull crap. So I
think the whole book may be a fraud.
Unknown: No, no,
Adam Curry: it's not what gambling. It's not so, hmm,
okay. You mean the book that comes out just in time and is
really about Joe Biden, Joe Biden, but the very insulin
Trump, left and right? Trump, yes. Oh, okay. Do you think it's
possible, at this point that people at CBS and with all of
this noise, certainly from, you know, the media about this enemy
from within, you've heard waltz coming after journalists. Do you
think that people within these organizations might actually
start to believe this?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I think so. They're already lost very they
could easily believe it. But the other hand, if you're going to
go on your thesis that we have one more clip to play, we're
going to go on your thesis that the whole thing is designed to
put Trump in office, doesn't this idea that the American
military is going to go after the Republic? After the Republic
creating a danger and Trump's dangerous, dangerous, dangerous,
is a reflection of your basic thesis that you love to bring up
about the cigarette packs.
Adam Curry: Yes, yes, the more danger, the better it is. Vote
for him. He's dangerous. Smoke this. It'll kill you. Hmm,
that's scientifically proven that the I
John C Dvorak: mean, is that in play, that that that's a
possibility with I'm
Adam Curry: with you on that. I mean, I've said from way back,
they want you since
John C Dvorak: you've been saying this for the all, ever
since I've known you, what
Adam Curry: they No, no. What I'm saying is they want him to
win. They want him in
John C Dvorak: No, I'm Yes, you. They wanted to win the cigarette
things. Let
Adam Curry: me just thing. The ship is sinking, put the Orange
Man on the bridge. Let me. Let me just review this study showed
that in this was mainly in the UK and in the Netherlands. I
know that they did that as well. On cigarette packs. They would
put horrible pictures of black lungs and people with holes in
their throats and and people would buy these packs and go,
Hey, I'll trade you a black lung for a hole in the throat. And
they loved it. They were buying more cigarettes than ever. And
of course, these the tobacco companies like, oh, let's do
more of this. So distinct possibility.
John C Dvorak: I was taking it. I took a trip to Europe one year
when this was in play, because they was, they never did this
here. They just had the warning label. They never put horrible
pictures. And I saw these pictures, my God, it was good.
It was like, I guess it was like, trading cards,
Adam Curry: yeah. But yeah, people were trading them out. It
was a big joke.
John C Dvorak: So here's the second half of the Harris
analysis from CBS. But again, it's, it's interesting. It's
couch in a very positive way that Trump steps in a negative
way. I mean, maybe it's the idea, is just the I don't know,
but it let's play this and figure it out.
Unknown: Today's rally was in Bucks County, a key suburban
Philadelphia battleground where the campaign hopes to peel off
Republican voters, especially women. I
urge you to make the conservative choice. Vote for
our bedrock values and vote for Kamala Harris. We
spoke to
longtime national GOP strategist Jennifer Horne now beckenharris,
if there is an issue that's flipping women towards vice
president Harris, what is it?
It's definitely the overturn of Roe v Wade, and not just because
it's about abortion, but because it's an attack on women's
rights, on women's autonomy. In that
rare Fox News interview tonight, Harris said definitively that
she would be a different president than Joe Biden. Let me
be very clear, my presidency will not be a continuation of
Joe Biden's presidency, and like every new president that comes
in to office, I will bring my life experiences, my
professional experiences, and fresh and new ideas. I represent
a new generation of leadership.
While there is energy here in the suburbs today, Democrats
privately tell CBS News they're concerned about the energy in
the city of Philadelphia, and want to make sure those core
democratic voters are ready to turn out in November. Nora,
yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah. No. There was very difference in tone, but I'm
not surprised. I mean, the entire media is against Trump,
including Fox News. If you really analyze it, I'm
John C Dvorak: gonna not Yes. This is another thesis that I
have to agree with.
Adam Curry: So I want to play a couple things here. Season of
reveal Bill Clinton confirms, and not only confirms it. This
is what the New York Bankers always said, immigration, back
to this immigration? Yes, immigration is good. We need it.
We need them. We need to open these borders. Not only did he
confirm this thesis, he used the R word
Unknown: a new direction to manage an immigration crisis in
a tough time where there's all this upheaval all over the
world, where there are border problems all over the world,
where millions of people are trying to escape the misery
they're in, and other people are saying, well, I want to do what
I can and take what I can, but maybe there's a limit to how
much we can do. In other words, I don't think Americans are anti
immigration. They're anti chaos. They don't want us to lose more
than we can, but they recognize least most people do. We got the
lowest birth rate we've had in well over 100 years. We're not
at replacement level, which means we got to have somebody
come here if we want to keep growing the economy, unless one
of you is one of these artificial intelligence geniuses
figured out how we can all grow with no work.
Adam Curry: No. Thank you. Bill, yeah, we're not at replacement
level yet. These borders have got to open them back up again,
replacement. We need replacement. It's disgusting.
More reveal, and I love this. The Aurora city council had a
little meeting, and exactly what we've been saying about this
entire immigration scam, which really is much more a legal
human trafficking scam with huge non governmental organizations
and nonprofits, many of them faith based, making tons of
money off over placement, placement of newcomers.
Unknown: We just need to retrace our steps and find out what
happened. We need to make sure it never happens again.
We not know the Aurora City Council moving forward with a
proposal to investigate which nonprofits the state and city of
Denver worked with to relocate immigrants to Aurora. Now the
city of Denver says it did not send any immigrants to Aurora.
This proposal passed Council 62 and council members say the
purpose is to learn how many people were sent to Aurora, what
promises, if any, were made to them, and whether background
checks were conducted,
whether it's the city, county, Denver, whether it's the state,
should not impact a local jurisdiction without, even
without, at least informing that jurisdiction what they're doing.
They did not, they did not, and they use nonprofits as a
mechanism to do this.
Adam Curry: Now the two members who voted against it say this is
going to put vulnerable groups at risk. Now we also asked the
governor's office if the state sent immigrants to Aurora. We
have not gotten a response to that question. Of course they
did. Of course they did. This is the whole scam nonprofits. That
is, that is the biggest scam that we need to clean up all
this money that Congress approves, which goes to these
cut out nonprofits and NGOs, and they do all the dirty work. They
do all the dirty work. And we've been talking about this for a
long time now, at
John C Dvorak: least over a decade. So
Adam Curry: Trump, the most impressive stuff he's done is
you really have to sit down and watch it. He did the Chicago
Economic Club. He did the Detroit Economic Club. He did
the Bloomberg sit down interview. He's his ideas about
tariffs and in essence, taking China's playbook and saying,
Okay, 200% tariffs, but you want zero tariffs, then just build
your factories here in the United States. And he has, he
has good answers for a lot of these things, good answers. And
so I'm not going to play a whole bunch of things from, you know,
from the actual speech, you have to go and watch it. You have to
spend the time because of the weave. You know, the weave, the
weave makes it impossible to clip Trump. It really does make
it impossible to clip him. It does. It's actually makes him
less clippable. Very, yes, very much. So, so here is a little
clip of him at the with the editor in chief of Bloomberg.
Who hates Trump, John, that guy's a dick off weight and a
British dick. Trump just ran circles around him the whole
time.
Unknown: Yes, you're going to find some people who would gain
from individual tariffs. The overall effect could be massive.
I agree it's going
to have a massive effect, positive effect, it's going to
be a positive, not a negative. You are to this, and it must be
hard for you to spend 25 years talking about tariffs as
negative, and then have somebody explain to you that you're
totally wrong. It'll have a
negative. It will have 40 million jobs. There's a lot of
jobs to rely on. They're all coming back jobs. Those are 40
million jobs in America that rely on. Ready.
John Deere, great company. They announced about a year ago
they're going to build big plants outside of the United
States, right? They're going to build them in Mexico and youth
freshmen. They're also, that's right. I said, if John Deere
builds those plants and not selling anything into the United
States, they just announced yesterday they're probably not
going to build the plants. Okay, I kept the jobs. Jobs here.
Adam Curry: Now. You made an excellent point a couple of
weeks back. You said, how can he do this? We have the usmca, the
United States, Mexico, Canada agreement. How can he sit there
and say, I'm going to put these huge tariffs on anything coming
in from Mexico? And at the time, I was like, Yeah, you make a
good point there. How is he going to do that? He actually
explained this at the Detroit Economic Club. And
Unknown: to that end, I'm announcing today that upon
taking office, I will formally notify Mexico and Canada of my
intention to invoke the six year renegotiation provisions of the
usmca that I put in. That was the hardest thing I had to get.
They didn't want that. They wanted to have it, but I wanted
to, because there's always like, little tricks they want to play.
I said, Nope, I want to be able to renegotiate in six years.
Otherwise, we're not making the deal. And I got it, and it's
coming due very soon. I'm going to have a lot of fun, and that
will address these concerns and also seek strong new protections
against transshipment, so that China and other countries cannot
smuggle their products and auto parts into the United States
factory through Mexico, to the detriment of our workers and our
supply chains. So
Adam Curry: this is really interesting, because when this
clause was put in, of course, at the table, everyone was like,
Okay, do whatever. If, even if you get a second term, we won't
have to deal with you when this renegotiation comes up, because
it comes up in 2026 I read under the United States, Mexico,
Canada Agreement Review clause on July 1, 2026 the US, Mexico
and Canada will confirm in writing whether or not to
continue the agreement. If one or more of the three parties
decide to make the step of not renewing the agreement, it will
kick off a process that will leave the future of the usmca in
a state of uncertainty for years to come. That is unless the
objecting party or parties change their mind, even though
the six year review is still more than two years away at the
time of this writing from I forget which think tank it was,
the uncertainty provided by the review clause is already a
significant preoccupation for business communities in all
three countries he's claiming. And I tend to believe him that
he put that in. I believe him. I believe that's fantastic. That's
a
John C Dvorak: fabulous idea, yeah,
Adam Curry: and now it comes due as it's a poison pill. Yeah,
poison pill. That's exactly right. And he's really
interesting in these economic club interviews. I mean, I was
listening to another one. It was a, actually, was a seat. He was
just, oh, he was talking about the Boeing plane, you know,
about the Air Force One, and how they came in 5.7 billion. He
said it to the guy said, no, no, I won a three in that number.
And you come back when you got a three, and he says, and the best
way to get the price down is not call them back. And, you know,
he got the done. He said, You know, these deals that are done
by people, very stupid people, or they're corrupt. And he says,
I think they're corrupt. They must all be taking kickbacks.
And that's what he does. He does deals, and it's not hard. It's
just don't be corrupt. The deals aren't that hard to do. Here's
John C Dvorak: and by the way, I want to remind you what was
brought up at the beginning of the show, Raytheon to pay nearly
1 billion for defrauding DoD allegedly bribing Qatari
official. That's corruption, yes,
Adam Curry: but that's not how it plays on ABC Good Morning
America. Former President Trump
Unknown: was in Chicago yesterday the Economic Club
repeating false claims about the January 6 election, refusing to
say whether he spoken to spoken of Vladimir Putin since he left
office. Chief Washington correspondent John Carl has the
details. Good morning. John,
good morning, George, in his interview before the Economic
Club of Chicago, Donald Trump referred to January 6, the day.
When his supporters attacked the US Capitol in an effort to stop
the certification of Joe Biden's 2020, election victory as quote,
a day of love and peace, as to whether he would commit to a
peaceful transfer of power after this election, Donald Trump
pointed to the last one, insisting it was peaceful, and
bizarrely saying January 6 was a day of love and peace, and
falsely saying the police invited the rioters into the
Capitol building. There was love
show that falsely, falsely,
some people went to the capitol and a lot of strange things
happened. There a lot of strange things, with people being waved
into the Capitol by police, with people screaming go in with that
never got into trouble.
The reality nearly 500 people have been charged with
assaulting police officers on January 6, nearly half of them
pleading guilty or being convicted at trial. The former
president also defended his plan to impose new tariffs on
products imported into the United States that
is going to push up the cost for all those people who want to buy
foreign goods to simple mathematics President
Trump, it's not yet, is, but not the way you figured. I was
always very good at mathematics.
Adam Curry: So, I mean, I I would say to everyone, go take a
look at those, those hour long talks, or hour and a half,
they're pretty good. He's saying some sensible stuff there. And
for those who don't understand the weave, why it's hard to
clip, Trump goes off on these tangents. Then he talks about
all kinds of different stuff. And then he
John C Dvorak: brings everything, yeah, everything's a
shaggy dog story, yeah, but
Adam Curry: very long. And then he brings it back to the answer,
and he calls it the weave. I call it the weave, and it's
horrible, for the show is horrible. And if he becomes
president, I am going to call him on it. One more from John
Carl, because, of course, we can't leave out the enemy from
within. And John,
Unknown: the closer we get the election. The president's former
president rhetoric taking an even darker turn. He's calling
his Democratic opponents the enemy within, promising to
prosecute them, even suggesting turning the military on them.
George
Trump has continued to refer to his political opponents as the
enemy within, saying they the pose threat to the country, his
Adam Curry: political opponents. Do you hear this
John C Dvorak: a lie? Yeah, John Carl is a liar. He's this is the
three networks are just filled with these people that are they
have to know they're lying, or they're just
Adam Curry: delusional. Yeah, I think that they don't even look
at the interview. You know, I showed it to Tina, and I showed
her the she actually got it right, right off the bat. She's
like, Oh, that's Antifa. She got it correct, right off the bat.
It took me a second to say, is he talking about immigrants or
what is he talking about? But if, if, if the word is just out
there, this is the milieu. The word is out the word is, he said
this very fine people, you know, bloodbath, I think they believe
it. That's another one. Yeah, they believe it. And they just
run with it. And the Masters behind the scenes, whoever it
is, Obama, they got to talk to him, about him in a second too.
They just run with it. Run with it. Run with Oh, we got
something. Let's just go with this. Trump has
Unknown: continued to refer to his political opponents as the
enemy within, saying they pose more of a threat to the country
than criminals illegally crossing the border or Russia or
China. In fact, this is something that he has continued
to do, even yesterday, in a town hall meeting in Georgia, he said
this quote, we have China, we have Russia, we have all these
countries. If you have a smart president, they can be handled.
The more difficult are, you know, the Pelosi, these people,
they're so sick, they're so evil. That's the way he's
talking about his political opponents. He's repeated
it. And again, this is absolutely unprecedented in
American history talking about using the military in this way.
John Paul, thanks very much with
Adam Curry: with the Clinton Easter, they're doing the, doing
the the alley oop. It's unbelievable. No, it's not. I
mean, why am I unprecedented?
John C Dvorak: Is bull crap? No, of course. But I mean, these
people are just lying. It's like, it's great, it's
Adam Curry: great for the show. So then, well, you know, and I
think I might have to do an emergency pod with the MO, an
emergency pod. He needs to do an emergency pod. Mo, emergency
emergency pod, because now it's come down to the black men. It's
come down to the black men. And somehow Kamala Harris thinks
black men want to this is only what I've heard. I haven't seen
the written policy, but the meme that's out there is legalized
marijuana because black men love lead.
John C Dvorak: By the way, this idea of, I can't imagine being a
black guy and having this, the notion. And that you'll be
satisfied with everything, you'll be back in the fold of
the Democrat party if they legalize. We because you're a
bunch of stoner losers.
Adam Curry: I mean, again, I haven't seen the written policy.
I'm going to read it because there's also something about
crypto. We're going to protect black men from crypto? Okay? All
right, all right. All right. Scary crypto.
John C Dvorak: No, not from crypto.
Adam Curry: No, it. I've heard analysis of it, and there is the
analysis from the Bitcoin community, at least, is black
men get scammed by crypto scams more than white men. Yeah, it's,
it's more like that than we're gonna what we're gonna buy
Bitcoin for you. What is it? No, no, no, my
John C Dvorak: understanding, from the other from, from not
that perspective, not the Bitcoin community, if you're
such a thing, no, is that it was to protect the crypto situation
in general, because blacks, for some reason, I don't know how
this. Don't know how to buy bitcoin. No, they're all in on
Bitcoin.
Adam Curry: Okay, yeah, no, I don't think so. They should be.
John C Dvorak: I don't think so either. They should be, but they
are in on pot. They all need to be stoned. And then
Adam Curry: the third me a brand, the third one was gonna
give $20,000 forgivable loans to black entrepreneurs. That's
illegal in America. That's just,
John C Dvorak: she can't do that. It is illegal. It's
illegal.
Adam Curry: So this is what mo would call the Boulet phone.
Call the Boulet phone rang the Boulay is the, I don't even
heard him talk about it. But that is the the Illuminati, the
black Illuminati, Charlemagne, the God gets calls from them all
the time. Who sets them straight? And this is I forget
this actor, I forget his name, black actor, and he spoke out
against Obama the way Obama was talking to the black men and
whoops, former
Unknown: President Obama struck a national nerve when he said
this about black men. You're coming
up with all kinds of reasons and excuses not 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,
Wendell
Pierce, who is still with us at the table, says that Obama is
wrong, and he tweeted this. Initially, the party has to stop
scapegoating black men. Black men are not the problem. And
then there was a phone call. So what happened? Well,
I've known the president for years now. Obama called him on
it, and mutual contact. You know, said that we he wanted to
speak. I want to speak to him. I didn't offer it as a criticism.
For me, it was nothing more than strategists in a room saying,
Hey, what is the best messaging for black men? I have focused
the past six weeks of going around, going around the country
with a barbershop campaign, right going to barbershops to
talk to black men. Since I heard this is probably the right way
to do it, every election cycle, they always say that black men
are siphoned off. And I found the most effective way to
communicate to the to the men in those gatherings was saying,
What do you want? Vote for what you want, declare what your
values are, and then go out and make the choice on that. Don't
consider my candidate, well, that's wrong. Or the other
candidate, vote for what you want. And I found it to be
effective. What they would say is, what are you doing here?
This is the first time someone came and asked that of me, and
so I was saying, simply, that's not the way to get to folks.
What I've experienced in the past six weeks is, in fact,
folks want to see what have you delivered? Did he acknowledge
that it was not delivered the right way?
No, we actually didn't get into
Adam Curry: it. Just went on and on and on and on. So Obama's out
there calling the black actors, hey, get on board. Get on get on
the ship. And then Kamala on Charlemagne. Then, this is a big
one that I learned from mo this. And this stood out. We've talked
about this on the show so many times, reparations, my question
to you is, and by the way, every white person who posted about
this misinterpreted the real gaffe that she made. My question
Unknown: to you is, What's your stance on reparations? We all
know that America became great. You know, off the backs of free
black labor, how progressive Are you on making it a priority and
right in America's wrongs is understood that you are running
for president for all people of America. Asking for specifics
for black communities doesn't mean no don't do for others, but
black Americans are heavily asked to vote Democrat. Every
election for over half a century with very little in return. What
are your plans to address these very important issues and change
that narrative?
Adam Curry: Maggie z,
Unknown: I appreciate that. Thank you and thank you for your
work. So to your point, yes, I am running to be a president for
all Americans. That being said, I do have clear eyes about the
disparities that exist and the context in which they exist,
meaning history to your point. So my agenda, well, first of
all, on the point of reparations, it has to be
studied. There's no question about that.
Adam Curry: We've done a million studies. It has
John C Dvorak: to be studied more. It's
Adam Curry: always a study. They never say, oh, yeah,
reparations, no, oh, we got to do a study. That's what Maxine
Waters, did? They all do studies, and no black man is
going to fall for that nonsense anymore. Well,
John C Dvorak: not anymore, no, maybe after the first time. I
mean, you
Adam Curry: listen to our black brothers and they say, Hey, you
know, we thought Obama would do right by us, because at least he
had Michelle. You know, we knew he wasn't black when Michelle's
black. And then, all right, oh, don't worry, we'll get you in
the second term. And then we got to gender neutral bathrooms. So
No, no,
John C Dvorak: that's what it amounted to, right. The entire
Obama administration amounted to gender gender neutral bathrooms
in North Carolina, of all places.
Adam Curry: And now, I hate to do it, but there's been a
redefinition of a word that needs to be discussed. I will
play the trigger warnings. Everybody is aware that it's
happening. At
Unknown: the tone a clip from the view will be played, shelter
in place.
All right, let's talk about fascism for a second. Okay, this
is a definition. Is defined as a political movement that embraces
the far right nationalism and the forceful suppression of any
opposition.
Adam Curry: Are you kidding me?
John C Dvorak: The far right? Second or third time, they've
redefined a word. I
Adam Curry: mean, I'm gonna read from the most redefined
dictionary there is, which is Merriam Webster,
John C Dvorak: a population definition at the drop of a hat,
sometimes overnight, a
Adam Curry: populist political philosophy, movement or regime
that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that
is associated with the centralized, autocratic
government headed by a dictatorial leader, and is
characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by
forcible suppression of opposition. Somehow that has
become the far right. Let's talk
Unknown: about fascism. Okay, this definition is defined as a
political movement that embrace embraces the far right
nationalism and the forceful suppression of any opposition,
all overseen by an authoritarian government.
Adam Curry: I mean, this is these. These people are crazy,
crazy. They just make it up. By the way, I'm surprised that I
refresh the page and it didn't say that today. That could have
easily happened. Oh, oh well, it's been redefined now by the
view. So we've got to change that. Oh, yeah, gotta change
that. Ah, anyway, Trump is going to win this election. They want
him to win this election. Everything points towards it.
Stop being all spun up. If
John C Dvorak: you want sinking is the is your is the best thing
you've played for months.
Adam Curry: Yes, why would you invite that guy up on the
bridge? Because it must be sinking. Yes, yes, be safe. Must
be sinking. Yeah, it's just, it's just, it's just nuts. Well,
John C Dvorak: I have two clips about the Ethel Kennedy died.
Yes,
Adam Curry: Ethel, who, I guess, was not on good terms with the
RFK Jr when she passed.
John C Dvorak: I don't know about that. Well, probably not,
because she's a die hard she
Adam Curry: was leading the family against him. Well, it's
John C Dvorak: beside the point in the fact that what that he
did indeed show up with Cheryl Hines both wearing their wedding
rings and holding hands. Uh huh. But if you listen to Nora, I get
this under Nora on the Ethel, something is left out of this
report completely
Unknown: Bethel Kennedy was remembered today here in
Washington as a champion for human rights and as a fireball
of continuous energy. Three Democratic presidents attended
her memorial, Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, the
widow of Robert F Kennedy died last week at 96 years old, the
head of a family that includes 34 grandchildren and 24 great
grandchildren. President Biden spoke of how mrs. Kennedy
reached out when his first wife and daughter were killed in a
car accident, and then again, when his son Beau died, Ethel
Kennedy will be buried next to her husband at Arlington
National Cemetery, and that is tonight. CBS Evening News.
Adam Curry: All right,
John C Dvorak: well, where's the mention of RFJ? RFK Jr is
showing up at all. That's more what you brought up was more
interesting than the three old dudes completely left out. Now,
there was a moment where it looked like there was an
argument going on between Obama and Biden that was shown on C
Spanish
Adam Curry: became kind of a people were doing AI voices on
it that. Well, I
John C Dvorak: happen to have one of the better versions of
that. You really buying this,
Adam Curry: buying, what that that? Okay, well, you this is an
AI version. So we're agreeing This is AI put
John C Dvorak: in what says right in the clip, funeral. Ai,
Unknown: all right, what
John C Dvorak: am I buying? What would you? What were you
suggesting that I believe this. I
Adam Curry: hadn't seen the A I hadn't seen your clip title yet.
Yes, you know, yeah, sometimes people that all these voices,
John C Dvorak: the Obama voice is not good enough. I mean,
there are weaknesses with the but I'm just saying I love, love
these AI bits because they're funny, yeah, and I don't, and
they got definitely have good writers. So here. So they showed
this on C span. We didn't get to hear any of it, and this, it
looks like they're getting into something of a beef. And so our
AI community came up, and
Adam Curry: there's no Bitcoin community, but there's an AI
community.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, smaller. Okay, so it's more likely to be
a community. This is
Adam Curry: great. I'm all for it. This is great. All right,
can we play it? Yeah.
Unknown: So is Kamala doing? Okay? Nope,
she's down, Joe, I I think they found out that she's retarded.
Now we're basically fucked. Trump is killing us at the
polls, so yes, we're gonna lose Joe, damn it. Wait,
what if I come back to run again
as candidate? Yeah, well, let me put it this way. Joe, the only
person in this world who is even more retarded than Kamala Harris
is basically you. So no joke, you're not going back yet. Let's
let it all play out. Okay, let's just, we'll talk later. Joe,
okay,
women looking fine up in here.
Adam Curry: Good. That's a more, that's a more PG rated version
than something else I
John C Dvorak: heard. You heard worse? Oh,
Adam Curry: it was about Big Mike.
John C Dvorak: Oh, I didn't see that one. Well, speaking
Adam Curry: of AI, I was looking at this report, which is about,
which is your typical, and we'll get to it after the break, your
typical, you know? Oh, German spy chief says that Putin's not
going to stop. He's going to take over all of Europe. And
then I heard something, and I stopped dead in my trash. German
Unknown: intelligence chiefs on Monday warned of an increasing
Russian threat and said Vladimir Putin may not stop at Ukraine.
Bruno Kal head of the Federal Intelligence Services, the BND,
said that Russia was preparing ahead
Putin will continue to test the West's red lines and further
escalate the confrontation. So I stopped right
Adam Curry: here. I went, hold on a second. This is France, 24
but I recognize that voice. Welcome
Unknown: to the automated daily top news edition the podcast
created by generative AI. Now we're not just delivering the
news, we're empowering you to become a storyteller. Create
your own podcast using your handpicked list of sources. The
West
sounded lines and further escalate the confrontation. It's
the same AI voice.
John C Dvorak: You really think so? Oh, I
Adam Curry: mean, it's just filtered differently. Oh, yeah,
it's, it's, did they show the guy talking? No, no, no, no,
that it's translating what the what the German spy was.
John C Dvorak: Oh, and they're using this guy, yes, yes,
Adam Curry: without a disclaimer. Okay, I just need to
say something, because I think I'm on to something here about
AI, where my error in thinking, because I obviously, I want AI
to destroy the social media, social network. I want to
destroy everything.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you're just you're a nihilist. My
Adam Curry: era was thinking that, AI, entropy would ruin it.
But no, it's human behavior that is now ruining all platforms,
YouTube, Tiktok, social media, anything that depends on what's
your definition of ruining I'm gonna explain. I'm getting
there, and I have a lot of stories to back it up, anything
that depends on advertising, which immediately invites people
to game, algos, all of them, YouTube, Tiktok, you know, grok
on on X meta has llama. They're all offering tools to their
users to easily create content based on popular keywords,
trending images. I mean, the tools are amazing, and this is
what happened to me. I was, I was on YouTube looking at
something for the show, and I see in the corner recommendation
for the. This delta Hawk, DHK, 180 v4, two stroke diesel engine
with no electrics for aircraft. I'm like, Huh, that's
interesting. And so I click on it, and there's a guy at Air
adventure, and I know that channel. And I was like, okay,
he's got some information. Is it very interesting engine?
John C Dvorak: And you got suckered into clicking, yeah,
but
Adam Curry: then I wanted to know more, and there must have
been 100 videos about this engine, and it'd be like, 18
minutes, and you click on it, and it'd be one of these AI
voices, and really no information, and all of a
sudden, in the middle of it, some other program comes in, and
then it goes back, and all of these were basically videos that
have been created by people trying to get views using AI
tools just to get me to click in the same thing with Diddy man,
go look on YouTube or tick tock for something about Diddy, and
you'll realize, after five minutes, wait A Minute, I'm
seeing the same the same pictures swap the whole time
they're telling me nothing. And then you realize I'm listening
to some chat GPT script here. This is filling up all of the
social networks, particularly YouTube and tick tock, and they
don't know what to do about it. And then you've got the bots
engaging and commenting. Go look at some comments. Half of them
are nonsense review sites of product reviews, it's all AI
generated comments. Kindle filled with books that are crap,
just just developed by by chat GPT, so if you and I put some
links in the show notes, people can go take a look. AI is
ruining the internet. Here, I tried creating a Tiktok video
using only AI, and people are doing 20 Tiktok videos a day
with AI. AI junk is coming for your YouTube feed, and then meta
is still trying to figure out how to identify AI generated
images. They are literally killing themselves with their
own users by giving them these tools. Because, you know, we've
got to make it, we've got to show that it's great. It makes
nothing but sense, and it's filling it up with unusable
stuff. And the algos keep picking it up. They have no way
to stop it. It's it's happening, and I think it's going very,
very fast. I think that we're going to see these users as
people at home who are making this stuff, are just filling up
the internet with nonsense because of the model, because of
the algo model that generates views and that gets you
advertising. People are claiming $1,000 a day, some $12,000 a
month. They're showing you how to do it, and it's horrible. So
I'm very pleased with this. Obviously. I think this is
great. Facebook seems to have the biggest problem, you know,
because, you know, it's images that trend on Facebook. And then
they go in, they they take the image, they they replace it,
they change it a little bit, and then they write a story about
it. Click, you got another click. And, and, X, oh, man,
it's, it's a business model. It costs you $8 a month, you know,
to appear at the top of all of the comments. And then you just
run your little bot, let it go. It's fantastic. It's, it's, it's
falling apart. And the good news is that podcasting, when it
comes down to it, which has no algos for discovery, is going to
prevail. That in blogs,
John C Dvorak: no going back to blogs. That's an interesting
idea. Yeah, I think
Adam Curry: it'd be great to go back to blogs. Absolutely. And
speaking of podcasting, things are not going well with
podcasts, with the podcast industrial complex, I play for
you the top story today from pod News Daily, which is a daily
four minute report on podcasting. James Cridland, he's
a good guy,
James Cridland: and revenue drops for This American Life
from Dubai. The latest from podnews.net. With sound stack
earning more programmatic revenue.
Unknown: Podcast listeners. Ira here, there have been some
changes in the podcast industry. Basically, the ad market has
dropped. It's hard to run a podcast by selling ads, and it's
affected nearly everybody who does a podcast. In the last few
years, we've watched friends at podcasting companies all around
us as they made massive staff cuts. Some companies have gone
under, and because these changes in the industry, this coming
year, we expect our ad revenue to be a third less, a third less
that won't be brought in just a few years
James Cridland: ago. Now, wait for it. One of the oldest public
radio podcasts This American Life has launched a premium
subscription version of the show. Cast ad market. As you
just heard, the branding is This American Life partners. Glass
also suggested other names of this American lifeboat or This
American Life Support, This American Life switch to ad sales
by national public media from August it had been represented
by the New York Times. It's using supercast and Apple
podcasts to handle subscriptions, we would note
that the staff page on This American Life lists 36 people on
the team.
Adam Curry: 36 people on the team. No wonder you're going out
of business. Oh man, I thought that was so great. And I just
smiled and said, value for value. Forever, baby. And with
that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say, in the
morning to you, the man who put the sea in the umca, say hello
to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John C
tomorrow, well, in the morning,
John C Dvorak: you Mr. Adam curry, I'll say, in the morning
all the ships the sea and boots on the ground feed in the air
and subs in the water. The water and the dames the nights out
there. Hello,
Adam Curry: people on vacation. 1967 was our pecus. That's low,
isn't it? That seems low. Is that high?
John C Dvorak: What for Thursday? Yeah, is
Adam Curry: that high?
John C Dvorak: That's that's 100 over you, right? This wrong
every single show, I'm bad. 1800 is that is the target for
Thursdays. 2400 Sundays. That's okay. All you need to remember,
okay,
Adam Curry: I'm remembering it now. Hey, we got lots of trolls.
Hello, trolls. It doesn't count. Their trollroom.io, no agenda,
dot stream. In case that.io domain goes away, I hear that's
a possibility. And what? Yeah, mauricios. Is it? Mauricios? I
think the UK gave back sovereignty to some island that
had the.io domain name, and now it's in danger of going away. I
don't know. It's one of those internets. Wow. Yeah, I know
we've got a lot of iOS, so I hope it doesn't I'm sure someone
will scoop it up and charge 75 bucks a month, that's
John C Dvorak: what. Yeah, just jack up the price. It happens.
Some smart money.
Adam Curry: So the trolls are listening in the troll
room@trollroom.io or they might be listening on a modern podcast
app, which is the way you want to go. You heard it. The algos
are filling everything up. If you think you're going to get
podcasts on YouTube, you're going to be wrong. It's going to
be nothing but AI generated slop. So get a modern podcast
app at podcast apps.com you get cool, cool features, such as the
bad signal that notifies you when we go live, almost
instantaneous notification when an episode is public for any
podcast anyway, it's good stuff. And then, you know, transcripts,
cloud, chapters, all kinds of wonderful things. We run this
value for value. Speaking of AI slop, oh, you know, we were
having trouble with no agenda meetups.com, and the Reiki
princess. So like, you know, I the we can't get RSVPs and
something's going on, and I can't get a hold of Sir Daniel,
who does no agenda meetups.com, as a service, as a return of
value for the value that we provide in the show. That's how
value for value works. And then and I emailed Mimi. I said, Hey,
can you see what's going on? This is the WordPress spat. Have
you been following this?
John C Dvorak: No, tell me about it. So
Adam Curry: WordPress is a company and it's run by Matt
Mullenweg. You know, we both know Matt Mullenweg.
John C Dvorak: Well, actually, Matt only runs half of it. What?
Who runs the other half? Well, I mean, the WordPress died. Half
of WordPress was sold off to another company, and Matt's got
nothing to do with it. He's still, I think, in charge of the
public domain version.
Adam Curry: Well, he's, no, he's still the CEO of WordPress, and
he runs wordpress.org,
John C Dvorak: well, I think there's a I think there's this
lawsuit between no no and the
Adam Curry: company's No, no, you've got the story wrong.
Wordpress, WP Engine is another company, because any we could
start a company tomorrow selling hosted WordPress domains, and WP
engine did the same. They did exactly that. They're very
successful. They make 10s of millions of dollars a year as
word as does wordpress.com and so he may have gotten venture
money, but the lawsuit you're talking about is Matt mullerwig
decided you're using the term WordPress. That's now our
trademark, and it's very questionable. And there's a lot
of lot of people who are analyzing this, doesn't matter.
What happened is in this, which seems to me almost like a gay
lover spat. I'm not sure what's going on. WordPress said, Okay,
no more access to our plugins, or the plug or certain plugins
that WP Engine was using. You can't use them. Now on
WordPress, I'm little unclear which way it goes. It might be
both. And so now these, these plugins, are breaking everywhere
downstream. It's wreaking havoc on everybody. And it's really,
it's it's really crazy what's happening. And a lot of hate
going towards Matt Mullenweg, who I only know is kind of a, a
nice, pleasant guy. Yeah, I know the guy, yes. Have you ever
known him to be not pleasant and not a sweetheart? Yeah. So
whatever happened? I mean, he's gone full, as he said himself,
scorched earth on WP Engine. So Well,
John C Dvorak: he's not a dummy, so he knows enough to do
something like that, if necessary. Well, the
Adam Curry: community. The community hates the community
hates him. They think he should be ousted from the company. And
it's a big fruccus anyway. That's what's going on. Fracas,
yes, I said to me, I think it's a gay lover spat. This sounds
like this has all the hallmarks of it. I don't know what's
happening. So it just so that's what's, what's causing some
issues, and Sir, Daniel's working very hard on fixing
that. Other ways you go. I was
John C Dvorak: unaware of this brouhaha. Oh,
Adam Curry: you should. Oh, it's, yes, it's more than a
brouhaha. Yes, no. I
John C Dvorak: was unaware of the situation with the no agenda
meetups.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Well, because no one can spell Dvorak,
so they just, oh, curry, Adam, curry.com, that's easy. We'll
just do that. Nobody
John C Dvorak: tells me anything, which is good.
Adam Curry: I'm telling you now I'm telling you, besides that
you could, yes,
John C Dvorak: this is the idea. You're the filter for my
information. That way I don't have to deal with all the
spurious crap. This
Adam Curry: is not a good idea. That's a great idea. So speaking
of AI and value for value, we have our artists fewer fewer
Dutch masters than ever in the most recent
John C Dvorak: batch. I'm still thinking of the 3035 producers
they have to pay
Adam Curry: third Oh, the 3036 36
John C Dvorak: producers, 36 Okay, yeah, even worse, we're
not gonna
Adam Curry: make it. People, what do you think Ira Glass
makes? He makes bank. He makes good money over there. I'm sure
he does. He has to, yeah, I'm sure he does. 36 producers, This
American Life. Oh, well, okay, 30 what? What I mean? I can't
even think of 36 positions for our show. Well, we have 10s of
1000s of producers, but they understand the deal. It's like,
no, they're not gonna get paid, but we get value because we're
not subscription only or behind the paywall. By the way, it's
death. It's death for a program, because you may be able to
convert now, oh, look, we got 50,000 people paying good we're
good to go. How are you going to grow? The only way you can grow
is by putting mediocre crap outside of the fire of the
paywall. And say the premium stuff is on the inside. Kids,
come on in. Want some candy. It's not going to work. You
become irrelevant because people can't just tune in and listen
your relevance goes away, and see Howard Stern. Before you
know it, you're nuts, and your whole show is ruined. That's
what happens. And I'm glad that Joe Rogan got out of his Spotify
exclusive for that very reason, for that very reason, not this
nonsense. Oh, Kamala Harris is talking to Joe Rogan's people
about appearing on the show. Really, he has two people, Matt
in Colorado, who does the bookings, and Jamie, who does
the fact check and production. What people? I don't believe
this. First, he doesn't have 36 he certainly doesn't, no, and he
even said, I keep it lean, man, of course, you keep it lean.
That's we have to keep it lean. That's the whole idea. The only
way you can do it. We couldn't even afford to have an editor on
this show, which we don't do, because we don't edit. No.
What's the point? Exactly? Taking out the US and the ahs
and the arms, oh no no, and the Hello that is going to be taking
that out, taking all of those out. So it was hard to find a
piece of art that we liked, and it was, there was nothing really
super funny or on point for the program, because everybody's
using AI now, thanks. Thanks. Sam Altman, everybody's using
generative AI. Yeah, we're doing art is great. His artist
fantastic. And back after a quick intermezzo from Francisco,
Scaramanga is there's no such thing as a free lunch. Ton
Stoffel with people liked it, though it was cute. It was a
crow holding up.
John C Dvorak: It's got it's the expression on the crow that made
Adam Curry: it work? Yes, I agree. But as we look down the
list of what was submitted
John C Dvorak: for one thing, wait, let me just say a couple
things. One thing, crows do not have big eyes, in fact, and they
don't have whites. I never seen a crow and you see the whites of
its eyes. So it was a cartoony
Adam Curry: i. Uh, looking at the list on no agenda, our
generator.com, uh, sir Joe Ho, who was one of our, uh, Jewish
knights, somehow thought we would choose Solomon's knife,
cutting a baby in half. I, I don't even know, I think, I
don't even know why he came up with that. I mean, I don't think
we talked about it. Yeah, there was some mention about, there
was a, it was in a clip somewhere about splitting the
baby, maybe. But yeah, it was minor though it was. We didn't
delve into the history of the of the biblical context of
splitting the baby, which is a good story. But no looking
further down the list. Clip custodian, he did a haggard
Camela, which, although funny, no, I'm not going to do that.
John C Dvorak: No, and it's it. I will say, I have a I have a
personal rule. And it, which annoys Adam, is no end. It can't
be gruesome. The picture cannot be gruesome because I don't like
the associative nature of gruesomeness with the
Adam Curry: show, yes, which is probably a good thing, but, you
know, I feel just the marketing thing, marketing thing, and
John C Dvorak: so they have a picture of haggard Camela, and
then associate that with the no agenda show. Yeah, is no, that's
out.
Adam Curry: Now you wanted, I didn't like it at all. You
wanted the Carter did free TVs, which it was a complete horrible
choice, because the free TVs wasn't even centered on the
train and, and,
John C Dvorak: oh yes, I don't know Will I spotted the fact
that wasn't centered. I
Adam Curry: don't know what you were thinking. We discussed the
guitar of Thrones tattoo, and I think you were if I had done
some convincing, I could have probably dragged you across the
line.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I was almost gonna buy it, but I still
like the look on the crow's face, yeah, I just like the crow
and the comic aspect to it was light hearted. It had a cute
crow holding a sign. It was the lettering was too small, but
okay, and it just was a nice it was pretty p it was pretty and
joyful, yes, and the one tattoo that you liked that was with the
eyeball, was I realized it's kind of gruesome to have a big
eyeball tattoo. It's just, I don't know, it creeped me out.
Adam Curry: I'm waiting for someone to get that tattoo.
John C Dvorak: Doesn't I could see it. I could see somebody
getting I
Adam Curry: might actually get that tattoo. Okay, I know I'll
pay for it. Easy. Does it easy? Does it? Simmer down, simmer
down. And then the other stuff was just bad. Ai, I mean, just
everything was bad. Bad Ideas, bad prompt jockeying. Darren
O'Neill didn't even try anything. Which is sad. No, he
must have no nothing, nothing at all. There was nothing from
Darren. And I don't think there's a single original piece
here. This all AI, the real artists have given up because,
hey, quality any day. And none of this is quality. The AI is
diminishing in quality. I think I can safely say that it's
hurting. It's hurting the show.
John C Dvorak: I don't think so. I think this. I think they are,
and they would, ever since the AI started coming in, it's
improved the art in general.
Adam Curry: Okay, well, do you see anything good besides the
crow? No,
John C Dvorak: no. There's been plenty of opera. There's been
before AI. I'll say this before AI. We had plenty of shows over
the last 17 years, plenty of shows where we had nothing,
that's true, nothing, and we had to go dig through the archives
to find a piece. So this is not a new phenomenon. Just showed
material itself. Didn't lend itself to
Adam Curry: any I'm just worried that we're not seeing any of our
Dutch masters anymore. Where are they? Where are the Dutch
masters? I
John C Dvorak: think, where's everyone? I think the last show,
we had an abandonment of listeners. We don't have enough
Commodores. We had lousy donations. I think the Columbus
Day, or slash indigenous peoples day, I think bummed everybody
out. Didn't
Adam Curry: help, didn't help. No, I'm with you on that that
didn't help, didn't help. Anyway, we love everything that
everybody does, because unlike Ira Glass, we don't have 36
people on payroll. We can just sit here and say, Hey, we can
complain. Yeah, we can complain. Do you think he can go into the
office on Monday mornings? You guys suck. There's no good arts.
The editing is horrible. Now we can't do it. Can't do it, not at
NPR. So, yeah, I think, I think we're doing okay. I'm happy. I
am happy. And we're here to serve you, so that's what we're
here to do, and you need to serve us and keep us going. So
we have the 3t and the value for value model time, talent and
treasure. Now we go to the treasure portion. Any amount
that anybody sends is always appreciated. It's up to you.
Only you can determine what the show is value, what it's worth
to. You, and you can do a sustaining donation. A lot of
people do that, and they get on right in the round table. Night,
night hoods, Dame hoods all the time. But again, you, I can't,
we can't determine what it's worth to you. Then clearly, some
of you think it's worth more than whatever it's going to cost
for that silly Ira Glass show with 36 producers who you're
paying? No, this is a community project, community media.
John C Dvorak: You have to wonder what 36 people are doing
daily.
Adam Curry: I mean, do you tell me? I mean,
John C Dvorak: what does the show? Is it a Daily Show?
Adam Curry: This American Life? No, I think it's a weekly show,
isn't it? Yeah, I think
John C Dvorak: it's much we know. We don't even know whether
it's daily or week. That's how unimportant it must be.
Adam Curry: In tune we are anyway, we always like to
highlight our executive and Associate Executive producers.
Here's how it works. $200 above, you get an Associate Executive
Producer title. That's a credit that is real. It's forever for
your lifetime and beyond. If you put it on places like your
LinkedIn or imdb.com and it's accepted anywhere credits are
recognized and we read your note, $300 or above, you become
an executive producer. Same deal with that credit, and we read
your note and we kick it off with Scott McKay from St Mary's,
Ontario, good to see you, candinavian in there, and at
John C Dvorak: the top, at the top, was $625.93
Adam Curry: is that Scandinavian? I'm presuming?
Well,
John C Dvorak: it should. It's actually, you can tell by
looking at the check. Let me see,
Adam Curry: no, that is his Scandinavian amount. Yeah. So it
is. So that's a that's candid, even so that is, he's barely a
producer.
John C Dvorak: I don't know that it. He says dollars Canada. It's
depends on where the bank's located. Well, anyway,
Adam Curry: he sent in a check, and attached to it is a post it
note, short note, ITM gentlemen. Health karma for my
granddaughter. Thank you for your courage. N6, 2593, I
believe that is a Scandinavian call sign. I think they, they
start with n,
Unknown: I think I don't know.
Adam Curry: I think so
John C Dvorak: You think I'd know, I don't know. Yeah,
Adam Curry: you think I'd know. Anyway, of course, we'll do
that. Give some health karma for your for your granddaughter, and
thank you very much for coming in and helping us out here on
the no agenda show
Unknown: you've got karma. I'm
John C Dvorak: gonna read the next two because they went after
that. It's too long for my spreadsheet agenda 99 starts us
off at Lagrange Texas, or
Adam Curry: LA garage, LaGrange, La
John C Dvorak: Grange Texas, 500 bucks. He's got no note nothing.
Double Up karma for him or her, because agent 99 was a woman.
You're right. That's
Adam Curry: right, Agent 99 from Get Smart, Hello, we're dating
ourselves. Hello, doesn't Dating Yourself doesn't count. Doesn't
count. Nobody's counting.
John C Dvorak: I am Kurt Kiefer, who's also in Texas, but he's in
the more liberal part of the state. It's a town called
Austin, get
Adam Curry: out while you can
John C Dvorak: 500 bucks. And he says, whoo, sorry about what I
just did. He says, I pronounce K, I for Kiefer. Kiefer, not
Kiefer. It's Kiefer. Okay. Kurt Kiefer. Once again, a big thanks
to my Austin native, free thinking, brilliant and I can't
believe I forgot to mention this last time, which is probably why
I had to donate my drop dead gorgeous, all caps, yes, wife
Beth for turning me on to no agenda. Oh, good for Beth. She
turned you on. Just never. Life's never been better. He
says, wow. He really blew it with her. Yeah, I guess so.
Flowers help. Thanks for the amazing work you and the no
agenda producers do. I am one better informed, two more fun at
cocktail parties, and three now definitely the asshole at family
gatherings.
Adam Curry: The Way to go, excellent. You've
John C Dvorak: got the trifecta. Yep, you can't beat that. Please
dub me commodore of smooth Texas highways. Go to no agenda
rings.com and put in this these details with your address where
we can ship the Commodore certificate. Jobs. Comment to my
sister Carrie and a belated biscuit for my 49th birthday.
They
Unknown: always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
John C Dvorak: I love you guys and boobs. All the best current
Unknown: jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs karma.
Adam Curry: Then we get a note from Dalton Fisher, from.
Goodyear Arizona. Is that where they create Goodyear tires? Is
that the the home
John C Dvorak: evolution so? Well, I know Goodyear is back.
Is an Eastern company, so I don't know. Maybe they just, I
don't know what Goodyear Arizona
Adam Curry: $500 though. He's He's vying for a Commodore ship.
What an honor to support the best podcast in the universe. In
regards to your Tiktok report in Sunday's episode, I may have
something to add. I work in social media, and several years
ago, when I finished, when I first started, my wife and I
watched lots of Tiktok videos for research, we quickly learned
that it is very easy to get burned out from all the content
to the point that it would ruin our whole day. After 2030, or 40
minute binges of content or more, we would get what we
called Content brain. Oh, that's, I like that content, you
John C Dvorak: know, you know, Mimi complains about this every
so often. Content, when we have a real one of our when we have a
what we you and I think are, is a good show, which is dance. It
does the dance.
Adam Curry: Listeners, yes, dense. And she calls dense. She
says it's it hurts
John C Dvorak: her brain. You can't listen to it all at one
go. You just too much.
Adam Curry: We found we could no longer focus on anything all day
long. We were very irritable and stupid and we were anxious for
the rest of the day. Con content, brain felt like losing
15 IQ points and getting ADHD at the same time. It comes as no
surprise to hear that tiktoks own research found that it
negatively affected brain function. Needless to say, we
keep the short form content to a minimum now and never show it to
kids. Short form content is addictive and needs to be
treated as such. Tiktok is not only bad for you, it's big
business. I should know, because I own a videography and social
media service that get that can get your smaller, medium sized
business cranking out content easier than ever. Okay, we make
it. Is part of the problem. Of course, we make your Tiktok
vids, Insta reels, YouTube shorts and more from start to
finish, scripting, shooting, editing and posting, all done
for you. You're out of business. It's all going to be done by AI.
I've been doing this for years, and not a single one of my
clients hasn't had a video hit 1 million views in their first six
months. We specialize in blue collar companies like lawn care,
landscaping, plumbing, HVAC and contractors. We're based in
Phoenix, but travel all over the country for video shoots. Visit
Fisher multimedia.com or email Dalton at Fisher multimedia.com
for more info. Thank you for your courage and thank you for
the tax write off. God bless Dalton. Interesting. That is
interesting. In light of I'll just play two clips. All right,
we're
Unknown: going to be in this hour with Today's Health Watch
new research on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
ADHD affects about 15 and a half million adults, but it could be
much more common than we realize. A new survey finds
about a quarter of American adults suspect they have ADHD
undiagnosed, but only about 13% have gone on to talk to their
doctors about it. Mental health experts worry that self
diagnosis can lead to the wrong treatment. CBS News Medical
contributor Dr Celine
Adam Curry: gowd joins us now, so I won't play this for clips.
You can look them up in the show notes. I'm not going to play
them, but these people are watching too many Tiktok videos.
That's what adult ADHD is about the only people I see addicted
to Tiktok is people my age.
John C Dvorak: So you keep this is an assertion you continually
make. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I'm not all in on the on the being a kid problem.
I only see adults, oh, and blue collar guys too. You know guys
who do the septic tank scrolling, look at this. Hey,
Adam, okay,
John C Dvorak: get off. Find this. This. Yeah, I find it
distressing. You believe this?
Adam Curry: Well, I only, I've I have evidence. I just what I'm
seeing. And I'm here I like, you know, I and ask the kids, our
kids, like, now we take it, we put up. They take it off the
phone because they hate it. They get addicted. Then they might
bring it back for a day, and then they take it off again.
They keep deleting. Idea,
John C Dvorak: you could be correct in this assertion. All I
know is when I see uh, Brandon and Jay, you know, they're
sitting around. Once the other come over, I put on the big
screen, I got something going on the television, and they're on
their phone. And then I grill them about them. I take
pictures. I have photos,
Adam Curry: photographic evidence. This has happened. I
have
John C Dvorak: lots of photographic evidence. I've had,
I have evidence of the dinner table. You have four people
sitting there, besides me and and the kid and there, he
doesn't have a phone, but the rest of them are on the phone,
yeah. And so I grilled by it, and they're playing Wordle,
Adam Curry: Oh, well. And so they pay for it, so they are, in
fact, supporting the New York Times.
John C Dvorak: I gotta pay Yes,
Adam Curry: Wordle is quite addictive. Well, Tina was
playing Wordle a lot, and then she went, Wait a minute, am I
supporting the New York Times with this? I guess the only way
that they're supported, and she has other staying in business,
gave up her subscription, not on my watch.
John C Dvorak: Well, yeah, Baroness nights up. She's in
Edmonds, Washington. She used to be Dame Knight. She's Baroness
night now she's going to become vi Countess. Nice. She came in
with 350 $2 and she is exhibiting noble oblige. She is
showing her responsibilities as a Baroness, and now a VI
Countess to help the show. Unlike our Brahmin listeners out
there who don't care, game on the Brahmins, dearest John and
Adams, she writes with this donation, not only am I an
executive producer, I become vite Countess Knight as well.
Please add all of the Arctic Valley, including the star to my
real estate portfolio. Real Estate a different line, my real
real estate. Yes, people out there have to know we do cold
reads on this show. And we, yes, we
Adam Curry: generally, we get, we get the spreadsheet right
before we do the show, so we don't have time to read through
it all.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we don't. We don't rehearse anything ever.
And you can tell, in fact, we
Adam Curry: talked on the after the last show, we were going to
bring something up, and I've forgotten what it was. I
John C Dvorak: have to. I forgot completely what it is. I need
more post it notes. Somebody send me a pack.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, no, you call for it and I'll do this.
And I remember saying, we'll never do this. It's we're never
gonna remember this. And I even wrote it down somewhere I don't
know where. Sorry,
John C Dvorak: I will never be able to thank you to enough. She
writes, love you me. It says, Love you. She's got the way
she's got it. Love you meant it? No, oh
Adam Curry: yeah. Bliss says she well, love you mean it? Is the
No, I think she means love you meant it. She meant it. Yes.
John C Dvorak: Okay, dad with 352 Thank you.
Adam Curry: Then we move to our let me see, hold on a second.
Our first when we only have three. No, only two. Associate
Executive producers. David, oh, this is coming to the end here.
David, let me see what David, he has a note. Does this? David,
270 Yes. Oh, goodness, dear. John Adam, I won the donation
raffle at our Rogers AR meetup on August 24 finally sending it
in apologies. This is written in cursive, small cursive.
Apologies for the delay. So read along. I've been derailed with a
family situation. Drink about it, our drink about it. Get
together was so great. It's so
John C Dvorak: lots of super na folks
Adam Curry: and even a night and day in attendance. Next time we
will record a meetup report while we're together, I feel
unable to adequately what is that word?
John C Dvorak: I can't read it.
Adam Curry: Am I sure mobize? Oh, summarize the goings on with
me. Mirror with mirror words here, oh, thank you. Shameless
plug. If anyone in the north in Northwest Arkansas is thinking
about buying or selling real estate, I would love it. I would
love to work with any na family member. Feel free to text or

John C Dvorak: Arkansas, which is a really fabulous state. It
is, in general, just, I think of all the southern ish states,
it's not really southern. Southern ish. I think Arkansas
is the prettiest. Yes, it is pretty, especially up in the
mountains, up in the it's a pretty, it's a very in the
hillbilly area, it's
Adam Curry: a very pretty.
John C Dvorak: And here we go. Linda Lou patkin from Lakewood,

executive and Associate Executive producers
Unknown: for this episode. Our formula
is this, we go out, we hit people in the mouth. What?
Adam Curry: You know, on the last show, we were talking about
our view of Israel and the United States, and how there are
so many people who are just, I mean, I get emails all the time.
Israel's running our country, the Jews, everything, all the
Jews. And so I went back because I it was a recent interview with
Michael Hudson, what are you drinking?
John C Dvorak: Topo Chico, nice.
Unknown: That's a lot of rack. That's our
Adam Curry: drink of choice here in Texas. So Michael Hudson, we
played him before. He's a professor of economics. He's an
old dude. He's in his late 70s. I put a fair amount of work into
this because he stutters worse than Biden, and it's really bad.
And, you know, you can, I was able to shore up these clips by
40% in most cases, but I thought it was important, because he was
back in the 70s. He was there when the American foreign policy
was designed. And I'm talking about people like Brzezinski,
Herman Kahn, and, you know, all the way up through Wolfowitz and
all of these classics, the classics, the classics and and
so. And I, I believe he is telling the truth, and I think
this is where we are at when you look at Israel and Ukraine and
many other wars in the recent past, and I talked a little bit
about this on the last show, but I want to make this
presentation, and it comes actually, after this piece of
information, which I didn't know, as the globalist Christine
Amanpour was interviewing the Foreign Minister of Palestine,
and I didn't know this, but it was a ceasefire had been agreed
to, and then they they killed the guy. They killed the guy.
Man was Lebanon. They killed the guy in the bunker. Did you know
that a ceasefire was agreed to? Oh, oh, here we go.
Unknown: I spoke with Lebanon's Foreign Minister, Abdullah
buhabi, who is in Washington to meet with American officials,
and he joined us for his first interview since the latest
escalations. Foreign Minister, welcome back to the program.
Thank you.
Thank you. Things have reached a major crisis in your country
since we last spoke, and I want to ask you you are in the United
States right now you know that several of the administration
officials agree with Israel's, you know, ground incursion into
your country. What do you make of that, as you're in Washington
trying to get support for a cease fire?
Well, they also agreed on the, you know, the Biden Macron
statement that calls for a ceasefire, and that caused, also
the implementation for 21 days ceasefire, and then Mr. Oxidor
would go to Lebanon and negotiate a ceasefire. Okay? And
they told us that Mr. Netanyahu agreed on this, and so we also
got the agreement of Hezbollah on that. And you know what
happened since then? That was the day we saw you in New York,
I
know, and you were talking about going into the Security Council
for this ceasefire, and barely 24 hours later, the head of
Hezbollah was assassinated. Are you saying Hassan Nasrallah had
agreed to a ceasefire just moments before he was
assassinated? He
agreed. He agreed. Yes.
Adam Curry: Didn't get a lot of play. Did you hear much?
John C Dvorak: This is all news. This should be. This should be,
as CBS with Norah O'Donnell, they just play a bunch of stuff
right to begin on the show about Trump. They don't talk about the
Raytheon. They don't talk about the b2 bombers. They don't talk
about this. So
Adam Curry: by the way, the people who think the Jews are
killing everybody. You're not entirely wrong, but I just want
you to understand the strategy and how that was built up in the
United States, which. Is something that is not working
too well, I would say, as an aside, and needs to be
dismantled. So let's go back phone call, one phone call.
That's right, it may just be one phone call. Here's Michael
Hudson. He's talking about this strategy that was devised
actually, back in the 60s. Well,
Unknown: the United States doesn't want to see fire because
it wants to take over the entire Near East, and it wants to use
Israel is the cat's paw. Everything that's happened today
was planned out just 50 years ago, back in 1974 1973 and four,
I sat in on meetings with zyred, who became Netanyahu, Chief
military advisor after heading Mossad and the whole strategy
was worked out essentially by the Defense Department, by
neoliberals, and almost in a series of stages that I'll
explain. Stoop Jackson is the main name to remember. Stoop
Jackson was the ultra right wing Neil Kahn, who sponsored them
all. He was the head of the Democratic National Committee in
1960 and then worked with military advisors. I was with
Herman Kahn, the model for Dr Strangelove, at the Hudson
Institute during these years, and I sat in on meetings, and
I'll describe them, but I want to describe how the whole
strategy that led to the United States today, not wanting peace,
wanting to take over the whole Near East, took shape gradually.
All
Adam Curry: right, so do you know about this scoop character?
You ever heard of him?
John C Dvorak: Scoop Jackson? Yeah, yeah, absolutely,
Adam Curry: was he a warmonger? Sounds like it? Well,
John C Dvorak: he said he was, at the time, that was my era of
being a Democrat. He was a great guy.
Adam Curry: Wow. Okay, so this is what I discussed on the on
the last episode of no agenda, is that the Democrats actually
realized that you couldn't get elected if you said, Oh, man,
we're going to have a draft and we're going to send all you boys
off to war. That was no longer going to work.
Unknown: The starting point for all the US strategy here was
that democracies no longer can field a domestic army with a
military draft. America is not in a position able to really
field enough of an army to invade a country. And without
invading a country, you can't really take it over. You can
bomb it, but that just is going to incite resistance, but you
can't take it over. The Vietnam War showed that any attempt at a
draft would be met by so much anti draft resistance taking the
form of an anti war statement that no country that whose
leaders have to be elected can ever take that role again. The
anti war students showed that Lyndon Johnson in 1968 had to
withdraw from running for election, because everywhere
he'd go, there would be demonstrations against him to
stop the war. No such demonstrations are occurring
today, needless to say,
Adam Curry: although that's what we did expect at the convention
in Chicago. But of course, it didn't really happen that way,
because people aren't quite as animated as they were back in
the Lyndon Johnson days. So instead, the strategy was
devised as follows. So this
Unknown: was recognized 50 years ago, and it seemed at that time
that the US backed wars were going to have to be scaled down.
But that hasn't happened, and the reason is the United States
had a fallback position. It was going to rely on foreign troops
to do the fighting as proxies instead of itself. That was a
solution, to get a force. Well, the first example was to create
the Wahhabi Jihad fighters in Afghanistan as Al Qaeda and
Jimmy Carter mobilized them against the secular Afghan
interests. And Carter justified this by saying, Well, yes,
they're Muslims, but after all, we all believe in God, so the
answer to the secular state of Afghan was Wahhabi fanaticism
and Jihads and the United States realized that in order to have
an army that's willing to fight to the last member of its
country, the last Afghan, the last Israeli, the last
Ukrainian, you really need a country whose spirit is one of
hatred towards the Other, a spirit very different from the
American and European spirit. Well, Brzezinski was the grand
planner who did all that the Sunni Jihad fires became
America's foreign legion in the Middle East, and that includes
Iraq, Syria and Iran and also. Of Muslim states going up to
Russia's
Adam Curry: border. So, yes, that's exactly what's going on
here. You've got to get countries who hate the other
people that you want to get rid of, and they will do the bidding
for you. I think we've been very successful at that. Look at
literally Ukraine fighting to the last man,
John C Dvorak: the last we're gonna kill every Ukrainian if we
have to, and we'll
Adam Curry: kill every Israeli IDF soldier if we have to. If
you're asking why, well, it's an age old issue. It's always about
the oil. The
Unknown: aim of the United States was oil was going to was
the center of this policy, that meant the United States had to
secure the Near East and the there were two proxy armies for
it on the and these two armies have fought together as allies
down to today. On the one hand, the al Qaeda triads, on the
other hand, their managers, the Israelis, hand in hand and the
they've done the fighting so that the United States doesn't
have to do it. The foreign policy has backed Israel and
Ukraine, providing them with arms, bribing their leaders of
enormous sums of money and electronic satellite guidance
for everything they're doing, but the United States has been
able to avoid all the appropriate but President Biden
keeps telling Netanyahu, well, we've just given you a brand new
bunker buster bombs and huge bombs. Please drop them on your
enemies, but do it gently.
So yes,
John C Dvorak: it should mention that Biden has also gone on and
on to say he brags about the fact that the Ukraine war, we
haven't lost. We're not one soldier. We had no boots on the
ground. We're not nobody's dying there from us. Yeah, right. And
he goes on and on about
Adam Curry: it, yeah, because, well, there are US military
there, but
John C Dvorak: they're not supposed to be, yeah, but still
that technically. Now
Adam Curry: we get to the to the meat of the issue, which is the
Zionists and the Zionists in America. And he lays it out very
clearly here, Israel is our Foreign Legion, and it's the
Zionists. Man, how are we gonna, how are we gonna get these? How
are we gonna, really, how we need to put these crazy people
in the State Department when
Unknown: all of this strategy was being put together. Herman
Khan's great achievement was to convince the US empire builders
that the key to achieving their control the Middle East was to
rely on Israel as its foreign Legion, and that arm's length
arrangement enabled the United States to play the role, as I
said, of the good cop, designating Israel to play its
role. And Israel is organized and supplied Al Nusra al Qaeda,
while the United States pretends to denounce them. And it's all
part of a plan that's been backed by the military, the
State Department and the national security operation, and
that's why the State Department has turned over management of us
diplomacy to Zionists, seemingly distinguishing Israeli behavior
from us empire building. But in a nutshell, the Israelis have
joined al Qaeda and ISIS as troops as America's
Adam Curry: foreign Legion. Now you start to understand how
ISIS, all of a sudden bombed in Russia. Yeah. So those of you
saying Mossad CIA, yes, yes, but it's really been a plan, and
it's the United States controlling, not the other way
around. And so back to scoop. Real name Henry Jackson. He was
quite the architect of this whole system, particularly on
the US side.
Unknown: The US policy, as I said, was based on the US
actually taking over all of these countries, again, using
Israel as the as the battering ram called America's landed
aircraft carrier there. Well, the All this began to take place
in the 1960s with Henry Jackson. Initially, Israel didn't really
play a role in the US plan. Jackson simply hated communism.
He hated the Russians, and he got a lot of support within the
Democratic Party. He was a senator from Washington State,
and that was the center of that military infrared complex. He
was called, nicknamed the senator from Boeing Jackson. Was
fighting all the arms control so we've got to have war. And he
proceeded to stuff the State Department and other US agencies
with neocons, who was planned from the beginning for a
permanent worldwide war. And this takeover of government
policy was led by a. Jackson's former Senate aides. These
Senate aids were Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Pearl, Douglas Fife and
others who were catapulted into the commanding heights of the
State Department and more recently, the National Security
Council. The Jackson Vanik Amendment to the US trade. Act
of 1974 became the model for subsequent sanctions against the
Soviet Union, claiming that the claim was it limited Jewish
immigration and other human rights. So right then the State
Department realized here, here is a group of people who we can
use as the theoreticians and the executors of the US policy that
we want, they both want to take over all of the Arab countries,
I don't think there were any non Jewish Americans that had that
visceral hatred of Islam that the Zionists said, or also The
visceral hatred of Russia, specifically for its anti
semitism of past centuries, most of which was in Ukraine, and by
the way,
Adam Curry: so now the entire State Department comes into
view. We understand the thinking and the milieu that Newland and
Blinken and all these jamoks have been in. They have been
educated for this policy that is US policy, our policy. And
John C Dvorak: let's, let's make it clear, antiquated, yes, began
during the Stalin period where Khrushchev, I think it was the
guy running it. When is when it was the Soviet Union, which is
long gone and and the structure of the world has changed, messy,
but we're keeping with this archaic policy, which is
ludicrous at this point, and
Adam Curry: this is the last clip, because the system is no
longer working. It's not happening. It's failing. And
this is his wrap up from the very
Unknown: beginning. They were promoted, supported with huge
amounts of money, all of the bombs they needed, all the
armaments they needed, all the funding they needed. And Israel
is a country whose economy needs foreign exchange in order to
keep its currency solvent. All of that was given to them
precisely to do exactly what they're doing today. So when
Biden pretends to say, Can't there be two state solution? No,
there can't be a two state solution, because Netanyahu has
said, we hate the gazians. We hate the Palestinians. We hate
the Arabs. That cannot be a two state solution. This could not
have been said explicitly 50 years ago. That would have been
shocking, but it was. It was being said by the neocons who
were brought in from the beginning to do exactly what
they're doing today to act as America's proxy, to conquer the
oil producing countries and make it part of Greater Israel, as
much of a satellite of the United States that England or
Germany or Japan have become, that's become a precondition for
their own solvency, it is insolvent. There's no solution
to black hole that Israel's painted itself into, and yet
there's no willingness to have a single state, because Biden and
the entire National Security Council, Congress and the
military, and especially the military industrial complex,
says there cannot be any common living between Palestinians and
Israelis, anymore than there can be in Ukraine. Ukrainians and
speakers and Russian speakers in the same country. It's exactly
the same it's following exactly the same policy. And all of this
is planned and sponsored by the United States and funded with
enormous amounts of money.
Adam Curry: And I would say Taiwan is on deck for this
idiotic policy. So this has been United States policy. We are the
bad guys in this. And yes, of course, the Zionists in Congress
who get funded through AIPAC, which is directly funded by the
corrupt companies, allegedly, who we just heard Raytheon.
They're the ones who the Israeli education fund who give the
money to AIPAC, which flows through to the senators and the
Congress people who are all in on the military industrial
complex, except Thomas Massie. I was gonna say, see Thomas
Massie, whose wife dies very suddenly, unexpectedly after he
after he explains how this works. So the Jews and the
Mossad, I really don't think that they're controlling
America. America, but this policy is outdated. It's not
working, and it appears to me, specifically, when we have our
boots on the ground, dude named Mohammed, that everybody in the
region knows this is coming to an end. Trump's coming in. He's
going to change this policy, and he's going to fix it, and I
really believe he's going to do that with the Abraham accords
2.0 and will being will bring peace, will still get a lot of
oil those he knows how to cut a deal. But this, this killing,
this has to stop and and that's why the Jews, the Jews in
Israel, they are mad at Netanyahu. They see what's going
on. They know what's happening. But you can't come out and say,
you can't say America is running this show, which is exactly what
we're doing. And just to laugh for a couple seconds here,
Zelensky unveiled his victory plan to his own parliament. I
will play the report first about the victory plan.
Unknown: This morning, I've been seeing humorous memes on the
internet showing how the lawmakers were applauding in the
Ukrainian parliament, but with the video cut so that Volodymyr
Zelensky just comes in and says, slavo Craney, which means Glory
to Ukraine, and then everybody claps. The implication being
that there wasn't very much really in the plan.
Unfortunately, there's also a photo of the speaker of
parliament, sorry, a video of him inviting photographers to
photograph the plan, and he accidentally opens his dossier
on the wrong page, and it's a blank page, which a lot of
Ukrainians found, you know, darkly funny in Parliament,
despite the applause, which meant that everybody accepted
the plan because, of course, there's nothing in there that
Ukrainians would want to disapprove of. A lot of MPs were
very critical, saying that it doesn't really constitute a
plan. It's more like just a wish list. Zelensky himself was
insisting again and again on how much all of this depends on
Ukraine's partners and allies. And a lot of people are saying,
well, he's asking things from the partners and allies that the
partners and allies have been pretty clear that they don't
want to give for the moment anyway. Though one MP did point
out that this has happened before, that Ukraine asked for
Patriot air defense missiles, F 16, all sorts of weaponry that
at first, the West seem pretty determined not to give, and
ended up giving. I guess the hope is that it will be the same
with NATO. But I don't think anyone in Ukraine is hoping that
any kind of announcement is going to come from NATO today or
any time before the US election.
Adam Curry: So it's falling apart, because everybody knows
you can't just get this, this country into NATO, which is the
top of this plan, invitation to join NATO. It's falling apart in
Ukraine, and it's so bad in Israel that, well, we had to do
this. The
Unknown: United States has announced that it's sending
Israel an additional high altitude anti missile system to
boost its defenses against a potential Iranian attack. The
THAAD weapon system is used to shoot down incoming ballistic
missiles and will be operated by US troops in Israel. President
Biden said the system would bolster Israel's air defenses
following Iran's ballistic missile attacks in April and
October. The announcement was made just hours after Iran
warned the US to keep its military forces out of Israel.
So
Adam Curry: Americans have a great choice. Vote for the
candidate who was endorsed by warmonger Dick Cheney, or for
someone who has an idea on how to fix this and was actually
kind of underway doing it. But this, we are bad. We are bad
with this, and it's dumb and stupid, and it has to dog. We
are bad dog, Bad dog. We have to stop this.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, we have to stop it. I mean, I think
our intentions are good, but we have to stop it because it's
archaic. Yes, this is bulk. We don't Stalin doesn't run Russia
anymore, or the Soviet Union doesn't even exist. We made
promises that we didn't keep about moving NATO around. NATO
is archaic. I think every Trump knows that, but there's not much
you can do about it, because it sounds good and but this arc old
fashioned thinking is really an issue. It
Adam Curry: is, it is. And for the brothers and sisters who are
so, well, yeah, but they're good, they're gonna cheat.
They're gonna cheat. They're gonna yes, they're gonna cheat.
So are the Republicans. Everybody's gonna cheat. What
you haven't heard a lot about in because why would you is that at
the state level, a lot has happened with election boards
and people in charge of of how the ballots are going to be
counted. So you get like this, oh, an outrageous report. Dana
Bash always says, No, I can't believe this. This is just.
Crazy, a big
Unknown: court ruling yesterday in Georgia about how the state's
votes will be counted, a state judge paused a controversial new
rule from the Georgia election board, which is controlled by
Trump allies. That rule would require hand counting all
ballots. CNN, Sarah Murray is following. Explain the
significance?
Well, the significance is that this was a rule that was going
to be coming into place in late October, and the judge basically
said, Look, this is too much, too late. He said this would
cause administrative chaos, and he's putting it on pause while
it's being litigated on a number of fronts, including, as you
pointed out in a hearing today, you know, you also pointed out
there's no training in place. There's no protocol to
implement. The scenes paused. It may be appealing so close to
actual election day that it's hard to imagine you could move
forward with something like this, again, without any
training, without any rules in place, around so close to
election
day and they're
voting right now, an
election not counting them, but actually voting. Yeah, we need
Adam Curry: to. We need to training. Count. CBS had a
different take.
Unknown: It's not hand tabulation, but it's hand
counting, just so they can reconcile if the number of
ballots in hand matches up with the number of ballots that the
machines say represent votes cast on election day. So they
say it's about checks and balances, and that would it
allow to look at any discrepancies to make sure you
know, there, there, you know. Every now and then, there have
been human errors in Georgia that showed, you know, a box of
ballots got missed. Now again, nothing that would affect the
outcome of the election, but the state election board says this
would make sure everything was proper reconciled ballots equals
ballots counted.
Adam Curry: It's this Gillespie County. There was huge moves
like hand counting hand a lot has gone on that that is just
not reported on. And of course, why would you do it? Although I
did like this, this tick tock video from a voter in Oregon.
It's even better with the video, but you don't understand what's
happening when he got his voter packet.
Unknown: Okay, so this is the Oregon voters pamphlet, right?
So as an informed voter, you're supposed to be able to, like,
read all about all the candidates, all the different,
you know, political parties, everything, right? Okay, so
we've got Robert F Kennedy Jr, right? He's not even running as
president anymore. Dropped out. Chase Oliver. I don't even know
who the crap that is. He's obviously not going to win. Then
you have Jill Stein, No, probably not going to be the
one. Then you have this weird blank space here, it's just
blank. Then you have Kamala Harris, Tim Wolfe, and then
where, like, JD Vance should be, is blank, and then, then it goes
into US representatives. Isn't that insane? I mean, everybody's
like, Oh, organ is like, you know, so liberal or whatever.
They don't even put Donald Trump on. The thing that's insane.
Like this is why we need, like, an electoral college for states.
You know, if we could get Portland and Eugene out of our
state, the rest of the state would be amazing.
Adam Curry: It is literally half a page just blank.
John C Dvorak: Didn't Yeah, I'd like to have somebody verify
that this was the case and this wasn't a rigged, phony baloney,
Adam Curry: that's possible, but it felt pretty when you saw it.
John C Dvorak: When you saw it, the guy showed one of the blank
patient. You could see a smudgy looking area where there would
have been maybe a photo.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I thought that was just bleed through from the
previous page. But it could be. It could
John C Dvorak: have been. It could have been exactly what you
just said, Yeah, but I just found the whole thing unless
it's confirmed. I'm skeptical about that particular clip,
although it wouldn't surprise me in the least, right? I know. I
mean Oregon, Washington and California, the three coastal
states, are all corrupted in terms of their voting, too much
mail in voting. I got a ballot the other day to mail in, and
Washington State's 100% mail in. There's no anything. You don't
have a choice. You can't go to a to a poll. I was
Adam Curry: a little disturbed by listening to this short
report from the New York Times daily, podcast about people who
are voting by absentia. So if you're in in a foreign country,
you can still vote. This is the their report. Quote of how to do
it. Hey,
Unknown: friends, Hey, friends. Americans living abroad can vote
in the US election. You can register or get tailored
support@votefromabroad.org state deadlines are close, so don't
waste a second. Go to votefromabroad.org now and find
your state. Once requested, your ballot will come by email. All
you have to do is vote and send it back. Don't delay. A
votefromabroad.org,
Adam Curry: so you email your your ballot back. I
John C Dvorak: don't like that, and.org How come it's not.gov?
Thank you. If it's official.gov,
Adam Curry: thank you. Very sketchy.
John C Dvorak: That's very sketchy. Sketchy. Sketch, super
sketch, man, I'm told you, if you're in a foreign country, you
go to the embassy and you can vote. That
Adam Curry: would be a proper way to do it. Yes. I mean, I was
right. When I was abroad, you'd fill it out, you'd send it
through the mail, that would arrive at the appropriate place.
But this doesn't sound doesn't sound right? No,
John C Dvorak: that sounds like a scam. Yes, yes, indeed. Okay,
well, that was a good report. Yes, thank you. Now I'm talking
about the guy. Yeah, here's a couple odd clips. Um, we have
one of the Trump campaign classic. There's a back to the
Trump campaign classic, does it NPR? Does Trump campaign? NPR
summaries? How did NPR summarize things? Polls
Unknown: show a wider gender gap than usual this year, women are
supporting vice president Kamala Harris in large numbers, while
men are leaning toward former President Trump. Both candidates
see those gaps as opportunities to earn a few more votes in what
looks likely to be a very close election. Today, Trump appeared
on a Fox News Town Hall in front of an all women audience here to
talk about what he said is NPR political correspondent Danielle
Kurtz Laban, hi there. Hey, Ari. How did Trump try to reach out
to women in this event?
Well, a lot of these women, really it seemed like he had
reached them already. They cheered loudly and often, you
could see some wearing Trump gear. Now, as for topics that
they asked about, the questions they asked covered a lot of the
things that Trump already talks about all the time, like
inflation, immigration. There was one question about
childcare, but in his answers, Trump notably stressed safety
and security, which is something he talks a lot about related to
women. Specifically, he often says that women should care, for
example, about an issue like immigration, because to him,
that's an issue of safety. He always casts undocumented
immigrants as particularly, particularly dangerous. And by
the way, that is, of course, not true,
Adam Curry: except they're eating the dogs that,
John C Dvorak: by the way, that's not true. Now I want to
mention this at the end. She says, Oh yeah, dangerous
immigrants, not true, even though there's rapists and
murders inside the points. Not true, not true, not true. There
was a study done some time ago. We've talked about it on the
show like years ago, where it showed that the immigrant base
of the United States, which committed less crimes than the
locals. And this was based on a study of the legal immigrants,
not the illegal immigrants, which are now being escorted
into the country. And they keep referring back to and that's why
she could say that at the end, oh, yeah, there's a lot of crime
because, but it's not true.
Adam Curry: You mean the report that immigrants commit less
crime than natural born citizens? Yes, I have, I have
this from AOC was propagating this. This goes back to 2019, we
can't
Unknown: even get laptops in the hands of our district offices
because the President has decided to hold the paychecks of
everyday Americans hostage so that he can fulfill a campaign I
don't even I don't want to call it a promise, a campaign fantasy
that the vast majority of Americans disapprove of. And not
only that, but in in the actual address, there was falsehood
after falsehood, and we have to make sure that we get our facts
straight. Every day, immigrants commit crimes at a far lower
rate than native born Americans. And not only that, but the women
and children on that border that are trying to seek refuge and
seek opportunity in the United States of America with nothing
but the shirt on their backs are acting more American than any
person who seeks to keep them out ever will be.
Adam Curry: Let's remember that next time it comes up. AOC,
yeah, that was, that was from that clip. You're right. You're
right,
John C Dvorak: and that's what they were based. That's that
information is still being used today, even though it's not
valid. It hasn't been valid for years. Like
Adam Curry: crime has gone down by 2.5% it went before, before
and a half percent. Oh, yeah, fake
John C Dvorak: information. 7%
Adam Curry: difference. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, that's not right. Oh,
that can't be right. Well,
John C Dvorak: they're just gaslighting the public. The
public is just getting bad information, mostly from the
mainstream media, who propagates stuff like that clip that you
picked up from AOC back in 2019 which we have the show itself
has long memory. It's called the archive. It's called
Adam Curry: Bing. It.io which, by the way, there's an. A boot
page on Bing, it.io you can get that same functionality for your
podcast. It's a very smart guy who put that together one of our
producers, and he is allowing people to purchase that service
from him if you want it, which is great, because you can search
anything, clips, stuff we talked about, articles.
John C Dvorak: Here's a here's a clip. This is a clip that needs
to be played. This is from NPR. This is the Sinaloa bust. I have
it listed as odd.
Unknown: Mexico's new or ex security chief, rather, has been
sentenced to more than 38 years in a US prison and prs qlance
reports and our Garcia Luna was convicted of taking bribes from
Mexican drug cartels
during the years that henato, Garcia Luna was supposed to be
leading the fight against powerful drug cartels in Mexico,
he was actually on their payroll. Last year, a federal
court in Brooklyn found Garcia Luna guilty of working with the
Sinaloa Cartel. Prosecutors said he caused violence, addiction
and death in the US and Mexico. The judge gave him a $2 million
fine and 460 months in prison, effectively life for the 56 year
old. Later this week, the same judge will continue the case of
an alleged Sinaloa drug kingpin, 76 year old Ismail almayo
Zambada. US efforts to dismantle Mexican cartels may be
contributing to what experts say is a steep decline in synthetic
opioids in US cities.
Adam Curry: What?
John C Dvorak: So they're going after these guys late? Yeah,
welcome to the party, gentlemen. And then the thing is, this
guy's a Mexican official. They somehow know how you get this
guy into the country to throw him in jail. I find it peculiar.
We've done this with a bunch of we are an international police
force. I guess I'm noticing this on like television shows have
been extolling the virtues of like, for example, the FBI team
of Dick Wolf production, yeah, and and Dick Wolf, when he was
doing the law and order series for NBC, one show after another.
Always showed the FBI is a bunch of bumbling idiots that came,
came in and interfered with the local police, who
Adam Curry: would always shoot and miss, and they
John C Dvorak: were just terrible jerks. But now he, you
know, he moves on to a series for, I think it's CBS, called
FBI, the FBI trio. He's got FBI, FBI most wanted, and then the
one that just makes me shake my head, FBI International. Oh,
that's interesting. And FBI International is about the FBI
overseas, mostly in Europe, huh? Button into everybody's
business, because the FBI is the only competent worldwide police
force. Then they have to move. They're in like France, and they
say, you guys don't know what you're doing, we're going to
take it over. And they take over investigations in France and in
Italy and in Germany and every place else. And I'm wondering,
what is this? What are they trying to tell us?
Adam Curry: By the way, you gave me a recommendation for a
television show, and I want to commend you on that
John C Dvorak: Mimi has dish. I did the same thing with Mimi,
and she had the complete opposite reaction.
Adam Curry: This is Matlock. No, yeah. Matlock, yeah. Matlock,
the new Matlock, which stars Kathy Bates. Kathy Bates,
there's only a pilot episode out. I loved it. I thought it
was fantastic, and I know exactly where it's going, and I
love it, even I don't want to give it away because of the
twist. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: there's got a twist at the end. You have to
watch the episode one is what you have to watch. Don't watch
Episode Two. Of you, there
Adam Curry: is no Episode Is there an episode two yet?
John C Dvorak: That's not that. I know it'll be out soon. Mimi,
I gave her the same recommendation with the same
sales pitch I used on you. Yeah, she hated it, huh? And I
couldn't, I couldn't write figure out quite why. She never
really explained it fully. She thought it was a dumb I think
she thought it was stupid. Oh, I Yeah. And I'm surprised after
she told me that, I said, Oh, Adam will hate it.
Adam Curry: No. Well, Tina was hiking in the Smoky Mountains.
It was just me and Phoebe. So, you know, maybe that's why
John C Dvorak: it could be maybe rub women the wrong way. Oh,
that's possible. I mean, that's a possibility.
Adam Curry: I have one last clip, and I just wanted to make
a an observation about this. This is a France 24 report on
pig butchering, which everybody gets these text messages, Hey, I
see this number, but I don't remember your name. Or, Hey, are
we still going shopping today? Yeah. Or, hey, you know this
John C Dvorak: after you're done, I have to tell you I got
my fourth call from the guy faking like to be some one of my
kids. Oh,
Adam Curry: wow, you're kidding those Well, I have a comment
after I just took a about a minute and a half from a rather
long report where they saved some of these people and and I
had a thought about it, which I think should be discussed,
because we just see this as increased. Incredibly annoying
and lame and yes, it's very successful. It's some say it's
in the 10s of billions of dollars getting people to invest
in fake crypto scams. By the way, I think it's only black men
and, you know, people emptying out their bank accounts,
particularly older people. I've seen, I've seen these scams.
I've seen how it looks like you're investing in in Bitcoin,
and you're doing great, and then, you know, turns out you
were just giving your your money away, and they get people to get
gift cards. It's crazy. I've seen people who have been
suckered into this. It really is effective. It does work. The
worst is the the Asian women usually named may Mei, who will
string you along for months, and, you know, show you all the
luxuries that she's living in and how successful she is with
this crypto thing. And they play a very long game. So this was a
piece of this report,
Unknown: an enticing insurance policy, an online romance that
seems too good to be true in the age of the smartphone, internet
scams are rife with hundreds of millions of people affected
every year. Sienna Ville has, over the last decade, become a
stronghold for Chinese mafia groups that rely on casinos and
prostitution for their wealth. But these days, online scamming
is by far their most profitable business. The mafia groups use
torture to force their employees to work, as can be seen on these
videos shared on encrypted messaging platforms. This Thai
man says he was effectively imprisoned by a Chinese mafia
group for six months, he'd responded to a Facebook ad
promising a well paid job at a casino in Myanmar, but when he
arrived, his passport was confiscated. That was the start
of his nightmare. Every
day, we had to find customers on social media and dating apps. It
was a romance scam make Thai people fall in love with us and
invite them to invest in cryptocurrency. These
modern day slaves are set to number in the hundreds of 1000s
across Southeast Asia. Local authorities are trying to rescue
them. This police officer is waiting for news about several
young Filipinas. These women had been confined for several months
at a scam center near the Thai border in Myanmar, like many
other workers, they'd responded to job offers on social media.
The signal is not good, but they are moving. I'm tracking them on
the phone because they have shared their live location.
Adam Curry: So as I was listening to this, I'm like,
Well, hold on a second. These are human beings, and they
clearly need help. And he said, right there, that was hard to
understand, but he says they're sharing their location. There
should be some number that we can contact or or, you know,
tell these. You know, when a pig butcher checks in like, Hey, I
know you're a slave, turn on your location so I can see where
you are, I will alert the authorities. They can hopefully
come and rescue you. I mean, this is, this is hundreds of
1000s of people are caught in these in these prisons. This is
really atrocious. And I don't want to just stand by and be,
oh, it's just annoying. But this is bad. I mean, this report was
just filled with, you know, it had one of those YouTube
warnings like this could be triggering, and it was horrible.
And there's no
John C Dvorak: actually, incredulous because, well, I'm
incredulous because I I can't imagine. They can't get just
hire people to do this instead of enslaving them.
Adam Curry: Well, it's the Chinese mob. I mean, they, they
don't care. They don't they don't like W twos this, like,
I'm gonna beat you with a PVC pipe. That's what they showed so
anyway, Ed, tell us about your fourth?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I got just my five. I've gotten four calls
over the last, I'd say, couple of years. It only started a
couple years ago. First one was and I knew about the scam from
the anyway, because I there was some report on it. And it's also
i My My grandkids are not, aren't that old that they would
call me up with a big, thick voice, hey, granddad, hey, I got
arrested. And the scam is somebody calls and claiming to
be one of your kids. Yeah, and you're like, if you're dumb, you
said Timmy. Tim is that? You Billy, yeah.
Adam Curry: Have you tried that. Have you tried answering like to
John C Dvorak: me, is that you though I know next time I will I
have not done that, but the voice does say, hey
Adam Curry: granddad, so at least they have that. Yeah, the
voice
John C Dvorak: is, hey granddad. It sounds like I've had three
the Hey granddad, and the other one was, uh, Hey, Dad. This one
just came. Mean, like two days ago, Hey dad, and when the guy
called and he says, Hey dad, as if it was like one of my kids or
something that is been arrested and he needs money. His base is
the scam is simple. I've been arrested. I need money. I've
been beaten up by the cops or whoever. That's why I sound
funny, because this is the way to supposed to go. Okay, got it,
yeah, I sound like an old Italian man because I've been
beat up. So I talked. I told this guy not to hang up. I
really urged him to stay on the line so I could ask him a couple
of questions about the scam, because I think I have had guys
from India and elsewhere stay on the line and talk to me. So I'm
hoping to get this guy because I asked, I said, specifically. I
said, Stay Don't, don't hang up. Don't hang up. He says, I gotta,
I gotta find out. I said to him how often this works. And there
was a long pause. He stayed on the line for a while thinking he
might say something, then he hung up. So I didn't get any
information at all.
Adam Curry: There's ways to do that. I've heard guys. There's
there's some channel where a guy does this almost for a living,
and he's figured out how to keep these people on the line. You
basically, you need to get them to start boasting about what
kind of where you were. You need to get them be really proud of
how successful they are. And, yeah, I
John C Dvorak: don't think I don't have the skill set to do
that. I know there's a lot of people. In fact, a friend of
mine used to be involved with their online stuff. She porn,
not porn, if she is part of a group, and there's a and there's
a bunch of these people out there that keep scammers on the
line, string them out and try to scam them. Oh, that is a great
that's it's a very elaborate situation, and they try to get
money out of him and everything else, and it's just, it's
fascinating that did the work that go into it's just as much
work.
Adam Curry: Here's my question, where's Elizabeth Warren and all
that's my question,
John C Dvorak: too. You and I have the same question. Where's
Elizabeth Warren or the big talker? Oh, gonna get Rachel?
Rachel keeps calling me. I'm
Unknown: gonna show my saloon by donation to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be
fabulous.
Adam Curry: We'll have to solve that another day right now. We
need we've got a lot of things coming up. We have our meetups,
we have Commodores, we've got some dames. We got title
changes, birthdays, oh my and the tip of the day, along with
our end of show mixes. John, why don't you thank the producers
who came in $50 and above? Yes,
John C Dvorak: in fact, I'm going to have you read this
note, because this is a Daming note. This is from Lydia Terry
dominelli, one of our favorites, from Clifton Park, New York, and
she sends $170 in with a note that you can read.
Adam Curry: Number four, hold on a second. I couldn't find it
that easily. Number four, oh yes, here we go. Mr. Curry, Mr.
Dvorak, thank you for everything. The sanity is very
helpful. I was
John C Dvorak: I like the way this is a person who doesn't
space things out correctly. Interesting. You had to see this
letter to really appreciate the sanity
Adam Curry: is very helpful. I was dismayed to hear that no
stripe donations were received shortly after sending donations
through stripe, so I'm sending a check. I was very tired when I
made the last donation for my dame hood, and could not think
of a dame name. Could you please add dame? And what is this? Pre
K, oh, Dame. Pre K, Tommy, to my, to my, oh, I'm sorry. Could
you please add dame? How come you didn't just read the notes?
Come on,
John C Dvorak: Daim, they have a since I'm old, I have a skill
for reading. Terrible. You
Adam Curry: should be reading this. Could you please add Dame
pre K to my dame hood, seeing as I've and
John C Dvorak: by the way, there's another good example,
Dame hood. It's like game. And then hood is is lifted above the
word sense, since
Adam Curry: I've caught up on sleep. Thank you. Are you sure?
Thank you, Terry, or Yeah, Dame pre K, yes, you will be coming.
Dame pre K, for sure.
John C Dvorak: And I would say to Linda, Linda, or is it Linda,
Linda? I
Adam Curry: think it's Linda. I
John C Dvorak: think it's Linda. She does. I think it's Lydia,
isn't it Lydia? Terry, yeah, we've had her, she's been
donating forever. Yes, she needs more coffee. Yes, indeed, that's
my guess. Yeah, just he's not getting enough. Just thinking,
just thinking you might be Yeah. Lydia Terry dominelli, I have
Pete Federici, Federici Federici in both the. Bothell. It's
called Bothell, Washington, $117 and needs some jobs and moving
karma for his partner. We'll put that at the end. Lucas Williams
in Roswell, New Mexico, yes, $100 the blonde girlfriend in
Charlotte, North Carolina, $100 and he's called. She's calling
out a birthday for her hot boyfriend, sir scovi,
Adam Curry: yes on the list,
John C Dvorak: yeah, she's the blonde girl. Okay, omega. Omega
Man and lost wages, Nevada, another $100 John and Adam. He
has a question here for you, specific, specifically, I
wouldn't have
Adam Curry: he wouldn't have stopped, except this is a
question for me. Adam, you are the pod father, so we need a
judgment rendered on this. My complaint is that the term
podcast has been hijacked by YouTubers. I don't believe that
those who are doing video only shows and uploading them to
YouTube or other platforms are true podcasts. I have long held
that audio only broadcast was the only true podcaster. Radio
Station and TV stations both broadcast, blah, blah, blah, his
question, unless a broadcaster is using an RSS feed, are they a
true podcaster? Omega Man, by the way, he has about 18,000
episodes of his podcast. He's been around for a long time. I
know him,
Unknown: and he's got a
Adam Curry: pet peeve, yes, well, people call a video with
the people sitting around a desk with headphones and mics, big
cans and mics. They call that a podcast. They will be sadly
disappointed when their audience is pushed away by the algos
because they didn't have an RSS feed for people to subscribe
with the most powerful sentence in media today is, or wherever
you get your podcasts, and that only works if you have an RSS
feed. It can be audio or video. For all I care, so I
John C Dvorak: consider RSS that's important, not anything
else. Correct.
Adam Curry: Correct. That is my judgment, is so be it? Yeah,
well,
John C Dvorak: you probably be the guy. Okay, Robert, by the
way, I should mention I got another note from someone. I
don't know if we have it listed anywhere, but yes, somebody said
that they noticed that Tucker Carlson is say, claiming that
Joe Rogan invented podcasting.
Adam Curry: I don't think he said he invented podcasting. I
think he said he was the first guy, the pioneer, and it's okay,
because it's okay. I don't mind. I don't think so, and I
appreciate that, that you say that, well, I'm
John C Dvorak: not saying it insincerely. No, I know you're
not. I know you're not. Robert Pett is up. He's in Sacramento,
California, 100 bucks. Lynn weigert in Maplewood, Minnesota,

this because it's a birthday. My eldest, Alex, aka surly furious
of the Twin Cities, is having a birthday on october 11 as my
birthday gift to him. This is an awesome mom. I'm making a
donation in his name. He didn't ask for any jingles, but I'd
like to hear the backup to the backup
Unknown: to the backup, a backup and a backup to that backup and
a backup to the backup to the backup. He and his
Adam Curry: beautiful wife are having human resource number
four this month. I have, all right, I've ordered the no
agenda onesie from the no agenda shop. No agenda shop.com. Thank

unstable,
Unknown: unstable and unhinged.
Adam Curry: Her voice is quite grating to me, but yes, yeah,
that's
John C Dvorak: the voice of a Brahmin. I.

John C Dvorak: Go with nuts.
Unknown: The situation is nuts.
Adam Curry: Also good. You've muddy,
John C Dvorak: too muddy. Kidding me, no, that's really
bad. That's no good. And then the last one I liked a lot,
which is, hello,
Unknown: hello.
We have a winner.
Adam Curry: Wow, I would have to say for me, it's between mine. I
Unknown: love it, I love it, I love it,
Adam Curry: and it's premium content. I'm kind of leaving How

it, I love it, I love it, it's premium content. Let
Unknown: me see, and I love it, I
love it, I love it. It's
premium content. I
Adam Curry: think we have a winner. We're gonna go with
that. And now, ladies and gentlemen, as always, the most
best part of the show is called Tip
Unknown: of the day, and sometimes,
John C Dvorak: okay, so I've been cooking over a fire for the
last 4050, years.
Adam Curry: What kind of fire like? Fire, just fire, open
fire, fire, use
John C Dvorak: every kind of cooking thing ever. Finally, you
look on these, you know, vertical smokers. They're one of
the best ones, if you ever find it. They got bought up by
Brinkman, and they ruined the brand, which is a Cajun cooker,
which is dynamite, vertical cooker that used charcoal. But
I'm now is the time to start experimenting, because people
get these traegers, like Horowitz has one
Adam Curry: of I have a I have a pit boss.
John C Dvorak: They get, they become very expensive, really.
Well, the traegers cost.
Adam Curry: I mean, the purchase price is not it was a gift for
my 60th birthday, so it was free. So what do you say to
that? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: well, that's a good deal. So I'm going to, I'm
experimenting now, and I'm thinking, this is the way to go.
These things are for people are amateurs. They don't want to
learn how to use a new device, take a look at the master build.
This is the one I have. Is a master build, 30 inch digital
electric that uses smoke pellets, not pellets, but
chunks. You could probably put smoke pellets in it and it's and
you plug and go, you just set it for 12 hours of 15 hours or 16
hours, and just let it rip. You set it outside. It outside,
though, right? Yeah, yeah, duh. You put it outside. It's like a
dog. It's a funny looking box. That's like It looks like a
professional smoker, only is smaller, looks like a small
refrigerator, locks and seals. And you can put sauce. You can
put four pork butts in it, you can put two, two, not one, but
212, pound turkeys in the thing, whoa. It holds a lot. It's got
four racks, and it's a vertical smoker. And the one model I was
playing with is the M, the m8, 2071117,
Adam Curry: what is this? Run you this device? What is the
typical well manufactured that suggested retail, MSRP, the
John C Dvorak: manufacturer suggested prices, 250
Adam Curry: Oh, that's that's affordable. It's
John C Dvorak: affordable. I got it during the Amazon Prime days
for 188 so they put them on sale. That's
Adam Curry: this one. That's a Hitler number 88 you bought a
Nazi device, yeah,
John C Dvorak: Heil Hitler. To what it the 88 but one, but it's
only 188 oh, and this, for people who want, like the idea
of cooking slow and low, this thing won't go beyond 270
degrees. It is, basically, is designed to cook at 220
Adam Curry: to 270 Yeah, that sounds right. It just when
John C Dvorak: you're using fire you you have to be careful,
because the fire a good bar, a Texas style side burner, don't
get up to all of a sudden. You go out there. And the things at
353, 75, on fire, because there's fire involved. But, and
this is this, to me, is something of a cheat, and I just
wanted to learn how to use it, but I it's a cheat that I think
a lot of people would probably benefit from, because I don't
think everyone really wants to cook with wood, burning wood
constantly. And it's just an idea for people out there that,
yeah, you don't want to spend the 500 bucks for a Traeger or a
propane device. No,
Adam Curry: the troll room is saying it's a Zyklon B vertical
smoker. They're sick. John, I'm sorry. They're sick. They're
sick. They're sick. This is a good tip, and you can find all
of John's tips@tipotherday.net or at No agendafund.com, both
outstanding websites. This is a great tip. I think this, I
really like it that price is, can't be beat. Can't be beat,
John C Dvorak: I'd say. And it gives people the opportunity to
cooks, to cook properly, which is a slow cooking, slow cooking
with smoke. And you can also buy an accessory for it, which I
haven't bought yet, but I know I'm going to and eventually, for
about 60 bucks, is an accessory that slips into where they where
you put your wood chips for smoking. It slips into that and
smokes on the side. And you can cold smoke, no commercial.
Smoking is an art Are you done? Yeah, I'm done.
Unknown: No commercials. More content.

Unknown: Pack some clothes and some shoes back to the land of
the kangaroos for there ain't no free planes anymore, and all
those pagers in the bin because babies come to New the men and
in the air, there's lots of flying drones in the tunnels
underground above the schoolyard can be found. It's time to run
and say goodbye. Proxy war. There's weapons stored in every
house. An album speaks for both sides of this man. There'll be
no ceasefire now, and that's for sure. Beirut International
Airport, where Israeli bombs fly high, Beirut International
Airport, where his border comes to die, a diplomat from Iran, a
pager blew up in his hand down Israeli hazing paradise of
having fun with virgin girls, casting out heavenly Pearl, the
IDF will reunite and where there's power.
