Adam Curry: Ah Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. Sunday, April 20 2014
times you're getting donation media assassination episode 610.
This is no agenda from south of the border outside of FEMA
Region six. Coming to you from Mexico kind of in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry
John C. Dvorak: and from Northern Silicon Valley where
I'm not here either. I'm John C. Dvorak. crag Robin Buzzkill.
Adam Curry: That's right. You told us to go you voted. Kind
of.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, I think they voted for us to take a day
off. Happy
Adam Curry: for happy for 20. Everybody. Let me get that in
right away.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, for 20. Coincidence. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Exactly. I think not. All right. So this is we I
requested, actually, Miss Mickey requested if I could request to
have the day off. And so right now I am in Mexico, probably
being gang raped. I hope if I'm lucky. So really appreciate
that. But even more appreciation goes out to
John C. Dvorak: Dave Ramsey again.
Adam Curry: Ramsey Kane, yes. Is he a Sir You should be? Yeah,
well,
John C. Dvorak: if he's not he will be no Ramsey Kane, who's
our the CD guy. He does no agenda CD. And he's a clip
collector and he does a produce produce one of these before and
he's great. And what can I say? I mean, he's just like the
perfect guy for this and he likes doing it.
Adam Curry: Yeah, he really doesn't know how to pull out the
nuggets of stuff that Oops. Sorry, this things are falling
down here in Mexico. When you listen, if you go to no agenda,
CD dot coms, we can hear all the work he's doing. And it's his
boss, I think who makes him do this? When there's bosses.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, but his boss is a big fan. And he's
totally behind him. And so he can do it at work. And so he
does it at work when he has the time. He has work to do to so he
doesn't just do it all day, but it'd be nice.
Adam Curry: Okay, so now how are we doing this? We were gonna
John C. Dvorak: play he's got a clip show that it's going to be
I guess, an hour or so. And then we're going to take a break,
right? Discuss a couple of things, mainly how people can
can help us continue doing this show and then we'll play the
second half of the show. And then we'll finish we're out of
here. All right.
Adam Curry: Okay. So I have no idea what he's starting with,
but we appreciate it. Here is our special episode 610 clips
show.
So annoying when they do this. More agenda agenda 21 crap for
you.
Unknown: troubling. News. Officials in North Carolina are
investigating a deadly outbreak of E. coli infection has been
traced to a county fair at least 61 people, including three dozen
children have now become ill one child's died.
Adam Curry: So this county fair thing. We've been tracking this
for a while. Remember, it was the new swine flu, the new bird
flu, I actually went back and looked at our show notes. I just
did a search on searched.na shownotes.com. And
lo and behold, Episode 433. The new swine flu h three N two was
16 cases. People picked it up at county fairs. They're trying to
get rid of these county fairs.
John C. Dvorak: This is one of the things that almost every
county fair for one thing, you can buy meat on the hoof. Yeah,
that's gonna end. So that's going to de de they hate that
they don't like you, or anybody in the public. actually buying
an animal and then going through the system they're slaughtering
and then the butchering system, and then getting, you know, some
really high quality hand raised meat for $2 and $3 a pound,
which is what it amounts do we have done we'll have no which is
about 1/3 The price of the grass fed crap. So So that's gotta go.
Adam Curry: Yep. Well, this is how they're going to get rid of
it. This is going to make it so they already tried the swine flu
bit that didn't work out. This is this is how many episodes ago
we're at 53 cents 20 episodes ago. So what was that three
months? Yeah, three months ago. So that got no traction. So now
it's the Oh no, the Eco E. Coli. Yeah, no, no, that's coming from
county fairs and a child died.
John C. Dvorak: child died it's amazing. Well, you
Adam Curry: know what that means? Don't you? Got the
children. Got to think of the children. child will die.
John C. Dvorak: county fairs are under attack. Sure. Everything's
all our classic institutions except, you know, being a slave
to some dork are under attack. It's the country is under attack
culturally. And I think it all relates to the Gen 21 I took my
printout I have a printout of agenda 21. Yeah. Which is like
the big it's like the size of the
Adam Curry: room did you eat up a pocket printer cartridge and
whole ink cartridge
John C. Dvorak: you burn a cartridge and reams of paper.
So, but the thing is dance with this weird stuff dance. Yeah,
I'm gonna do a special feature on the agenda 21 Not in a long
term way. But with trumpets. I'm just gonna read sections of it
every once in a while.
Adam Curry: Okay, well, that'd be after the Scholastic special.
I'm
John C. Dvorak: gonna be right. On education. Yeah, actually,
I've been working on this clip show.
Adam Curry: Yeah, it'll be ready. When end of the year.
John C. Dvorak: It's half over. It's done. I have an hour and 10
minutes, so is half
Adam Curry: the year. So that's what I mean, it'll be done. So
John C. Dvorak: it's a bit debate. What I've done is I've
listened to all the clips from you know, the shoulder shows
from since the beginning. And there's a lot of stuff that we
come up with, over the years that we've long since forgotten,
but it's still interesting, right, in retrospect, but it's
not a retrospective show. But let me
Adam Curry: tell you how crazy we are about our passion for
doing this program. So yesterday, beautiful day here in
at the hilltop, watchtower. And Bobby Eaton is over. And I'm not
quite sure, this must have happened when I was sick or
something. And I'm kind of back at like 90 95%. Now, Mickey made
some kind of like appointment that she was going to photograph
Bobby. And, and I'm like, you know, and these are like, real
good shots, if you know what I mean. And I'm just kind of, like
enjoying the show. And then I get a text from John. He's like,
Oh, you got to turn on C span one right now. Douchebag fest.
It's the it's the correspondents dinner. You gotta watch it. I'm
like, Dude, you know, I'm, I'm watching a photoshoot with Bobby
Eaton official porn star of the show. He's like, you can always
watch that. Go watch the show. And I did. How sad is that? I
went inside and like they're outside taking pictures. It's
pretty
John C. Dvorak: compelling. It was like, I mean, both. I mean,
you had a double. You could have did you DVR Bobby Eaton.
Adam Curry: No, but there's I mean, I had the pictures, but I
could have seen all this live stuff happening. Yeah, it got
worse. Because I was like, okay, you know, so then I'm like, I'll
go get some, some some meat for hamburgers. I come back. And
they're both in the hot tub. Like, like I missed that
John C. Dvorak: I should jump in or what
Adam Curry: I can do. And I was like, you were hungry now and
they get out? Oh, yeah, exactly.
John C. Dvorak: Like, oh, you know, these things come and go.
I'm
Adam Curry: a loser. But he said something that I thought was
kind of interesting. Because of course, evil Assad is turning
off the electricity when you have no e lectricity. You can't
charge your cell phone. So how would you do that? John, if you
are out there and you're in Syria in Hama and you've got
Assad killing you What would you how would you charge your cell
phone man? Well, I
John C. Dvorak: mean, I would sneak downtown where there is
power and plug in or I would find it somebody with a laptop
with some juice left or I would get a solar panel if I could,
but I don't think that's a little
Adam Curry: too late. Those things suck. I've tried those
that I
John C. Dvorak: would use my car Check this out with batteries
because our battery is running out and not electric to recharge
your equipments. So for phone calls, we create a new way it's
actually simple way to recharge your phone we use to a glass of
water with two batteries Duracell or something else
already exist everywhere we use it keep the batteries in the
water for one hour or 30 minutes then you put the USB adapters
inside the water at start charge. How about that? Huh? As
bullcrap So sounds like he's saying buttocks
Adam Curry: you put your buttocks in the water
John C. Dvorak: now what is he saying? I don't know I could
barely understand this guy sounds like he's saying buttocks
constantly. What is he saying? He's dropped a battery in a
bottle of water and the next thing you know it's charged
saying
Adam Curry: but he says is you take a glass of water. You drop
to Duracell batteries in there for about half an hour to an
hour. And then you plug in a USB cable into your phone and put
the USB that normally goes into your computer into the glass of
water.
John C. Dvorak: This is bogus. There's no way this works.
Adam Curry: This is what I was like really? I mean, so if this
guy is saying this then he's full of bull crap on everything
else. Yeah, I
John C. Dvorak: would think
Adam Curry: can someone try this experiment? Maybe it works.
John C. Dvorak: Try the X why bother trying it is bull crap.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I knew he would love it. Like really? You
couldn't do that he's just so he throws two batteries. Take two
batteries and call me in the morning. He throws two batteries
in the glass of water with it with the stir. Wait 30 minutes
then just drop your USB cable in and it'll start charging.
Unknown: I believable
Adam Curry: and the guy on PBS like Oh, that's great, great
idea.
John C. Dvorak: I think you did that came to guy on PBS as an
idiot. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Does that kind of show you what else is going on?
on PBS?
John C. Dvorak: Please? Wow, yeah, that's the clip of the day
already. I just a clip of the day. I mean, you can't beat
that. That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. And you
got a guy from PBS. lapping it up like a moron. Like I'd like a
puppy.
Adam Curry: Oh, that's, that's how that's how ingenious. You're
so inventive. So smart. So good. I did find something else.
Interesting that I didn't know. Because you know, it's like, I'm
in Illinois, right? And this is the this is Gitmo nation
Central. This is HQ run by Rahm Emanuel now, as I count, so how
did what did Barack Obama do for you guys wouldn't know when he
was a senator. And most people didn't even know that he was the
senator. And do you know how he What happened that that made him
win the senatorial race?
John C. Dvorak: In Illinois? Yeah. I there was a long article
about it in The New Yorker. I think he had most of the details
what?
Adam Curry: So he was running against the incumbent Jack Ryan.
And Jack Ryan, if you google him, he's, he's, you know, he's
a cute guy. You know, he has the he has the whole look,
everything's perfect. And he was ahead and all the polls this
2004, of course. And Jack Ryan at the time, was married to
Jerry Ryan, who plays Seven of Nine on Star Trek Voyager.
Right. This is where it gets creepy, because we mentioned the
similarity between Obama and Tuvok.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, this was that is funny that you mentioned
that but yeah, this is all outlined in this article go on.
Adam Curry: So they're getting close. During Ryan's primary
run, the Chicago Tribune and W LS radio guest radioed maybe TV,
one of the one of the records released of their divorce in
1999. And it turns out, that this guy was taking her to sex
clubs and saying, Hey, sit here and blow me and let everybody
watch. That ruin his entire his entire race is like, Oh, wow,
how does that work? I mean, do we call that a incidence? I
think not. Like, wow, I didn't know that. That's how Obama
actually won. Yeah,
John C. Dvorak: I recall all that. Yeah, there was there was
discussed in great detail. And also many people have been
there's more than just a blow job as by the way, you know,
there's a lot of costuming and
Adam Curry: well, I have the, you know, I have the the actual
document and it says a sex act. It doesn't say what it was. I
don't know. But a couple of people have been working out in
health clubs in Chicago for all their life, essentially. And one
place where the President I'll see you also used to go and work
out. His name was Barry. everyone called him Barry. Until
he became Senator then all sudden it was Barack. Yeah, no,
it was always Barry. How can we don't call them Barry Obama?
John C. Dvorak: Well, because he doesn't want to be called Barry.
Okay, because he will like, I don't know, you tell me. You
know, my theories. It's things that somebody has more of an
ethnic sound and it sounds more distinctive and markets. Much
better. Yes. All marketing? Because I mean, Barry, just not
Barry.
Adam Curry: Right. Well, no, there's a resolution and
Congress. Now resolution is not a law. But it is, you know, I
guess it's to make everyone feel good. So they can have a drink
and say, well, good job, Joe. Good day at the office. The
resolution in Congress says that climate change is forcing women
into prostitution. Oh,
John C. Dvorak: I love this one. So upside everything. Yeah,
well, so
Adam Curry: here it is the resolution whereas women will
disproportionately face harmful impacts from climate change,
insecure women with limited socio economic resources may be
vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex,
which by the way is called marriage. Okay, let me just
define that for you. And early marriage to put them at risk of
HIV. Oh, you're gonna be a horror and have AIDS because of
climate change. This is insane. Okay, this is just insane. I
John C. Dvorak: love this thing. I'm glad you brought it up. I
forgot about it. Yeah, you're gonna be a whore with a warm.
Adam Curry: Ah, now Okay, so let's just follow the money for
a moment. And this is I think, where this guy messes up because
I think he's lying. And I believe because you, you are
much more involved at the time. Because of course, what is
really the way I see it is the whole climate change thing not
about saving the Earth, no one gives a crap about you or the
earth, these guys don't care. It's about taking your money in
the form of a tax, a carbon tax, and it will be for everything
like, oh, you talk too much, you know, cut off the tax that
Australia now has this. So it's an actual tax. And from what I
understand, the idea is to take that money, and then go help the
poor black children in Africa. But of course, we do that with
our American companies. We're not going to give them the big
giant check like congratulations, kids.
John C. Dvorak: Here's your check money. Here's
Adam Curry: your money. No, no, you give it to American
companies like Halliburton, and Bechtel and you give it to all
the big guys, this is what we do we have war for the same reason.
Okay, we go and you shoot up Iraq. Why is Winco rebuild it?
Good work, everybody. So here's where this guy screws up.
Unknown: And there's actually a historical precedent, we used to
have a huge acid rain problem in this country, we created
essentially a cap and trade system.
Adam Curry: Is that true? We had a cap and trade system for acid
rain.
Unknown: Yeah, where we kept the amount of, of sulfur dioxide
being emitted from the smokestacks brought that cap
down over the years, and allowed companies to sell their emission
rights between each other. So a company that was really good at
reducing their emissions could sell that remaining block to
another company that needed more time. He was one of the most
successful programs in American history, it was put it was put
on the table and passed by a Republican President, the First
George Bush, Bush senior, and it solved the problem or largely
solved the problem at a cost far below what even the best
estimates at the time were.
Adam Curry: So you're the expert here, John, how is this cap and
trade not the same cap and trade that is being discussed where I
believe all the money is and what this whole thing is about
right?
John C. Dvorak: Now, there's evidence that the whole acid
rain thing was a hoax. No, you don't say. And so they but I
remember that ear. It was never 360 minutes reports and maybe
they would show they would show some old statue in Italy. With
it's just the face was dissolved, like, from acid rain.
The batteries rolled falling apart from acid rain,
Adam Curry: I gotta find I gotta find that statue in Italy. As
face eaten off acid rain, I'm sure it's on.
John C. Dvorak: Put the cap and trade in all these stories and
in the success of the whole thing was to get this in place,
and then became sort of became systemized, I think right now,
because there's such resistance 8% A lot of people that are an
apparently, if I'm Catholic, categorize it to get the number
up to 8% by putting me in the dismissive category, that
indicates that they're freaked. So what the here's what the goal
is, you put in a kit, you get the cap and trade, you get the
carbon tax, you get all that in, nothing really changes in it.
And we point this out, we pointed it out before and it
should be pointed out the same thing with acid acid rain, cap
and trade is an insincere version of of a solution.
Because if you think there's a problem, you cap, you don't
trade, right? You just say, Yeah, we got too much of this
too much of that we can't do it anymore. You cap it. That's what
air pollution laws did know, you're getting fined if this
comes out of that smokestack. You can't trade the pollution
for some other places, not polluting, but you know,
pollution does it the general pollution laws don't have cap
and trade, cap and trade doesn't change anything. It just creates
a new system of passing money around. The idea, it seems to me
is to get a cap and trade in place. And then you just stop
talking about it. And then 10 years down the road, you say,
man that cap and trade worked like a champ. Global warming is
over.
Adam Curry: Yeah. And okay. And so and I'll pile on with you.
And I'll say the reason why they need to do it now. It's because
we're going into a little mini ice age, we are going into a
true global cooling, and they need to do it now before the
break. Otherwise, you can't do that. You can't claim victory in
a couple of years.
John C. Dvorak: Well, you have to get this done.
Adam Curry: Yeah. So we had the we had our our dinner party on
Monday night. And and
John C. Dvorak: we talked a little bit about this on the
show. We do not much we talk most of it after the show. And
Adam Curry: this is one of those rare occasions where we actually
had an off topic discussion after the show, which I would
say lasted for about 45 minutes quite a record for us. And we
had already spoken for over two and a half hours shower up
afterwards. And mainly because I wasn't Now cooking for a total
of six people. And these are our friends here in Austin. We have
Russell, the brain scientist. We have his lovely wife, Jennifer,
the architect, we have Laurie the artist and her husband Mark
the rock and roller, who also does investments in accounting.
And,
John C. Dvorak: and they're all Obama bought the total
Adam Curry: Obama and McCain I concluded after the evening,
which wasn't till past midnight. It was a good it was a good
evening we went, we concluded that we are probably their wacky
friends.
John C. Dvorak: Let's to wow.
Adam Curry: You gotta go hang out.
John C. Dvorak: Unbelievable. What they say is crazy. Crazy.
Adam Curry: I gotta tell you, first of all, but I had asked
you for advice. I said, What am I going to cook six people? I
don't think I can do this. And you went, you were so lovely.
This is easy. No problem. You're doing beef bourguignon. Like
what? And so first of all, I did not sell this as beef
John C. Dvorak: like notation of a very gentle I wrote
Adam Curry: it, I wrote it down. I wrote down exactly how you
told me to do this. Yeah. And which is quite funny. In fact, I
will I will give you just the first few lines. And I named it
something different because they said oh, what are we having for
dinner? I said, we're having double dip recession slaves do
you
John C. Dvorak: think is a great name for this dish? It is.
Adam Curry: And here's here's how you said it. You get five
pounds of meat check steaks, one and a half inch your cubes. And
this is the cheapest meat you can find. I mean, I'm talking
cheap, cheap, cheap. Then you get your cast iron pot. You make
this thing hot. I mean fucking hot. You're gonna put the meat
in there and it's just gonna be like, it's gonna be smoking.
It's outrageous. You have to open the doors and the windows.
This is nuts. It's carmelized Don't touch it. That's kind of
how you told me to do it. Yeah, kinda. And so I had to make an
investment and makes it a lot of smoke. The investment was it
done? Right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, the investment was getting
a Dutch oven, which I didn't have. So we went to bed bath and
beyond after you
John C. Dvorak: and I got your Dutch ovens been going?
Adam Curry: Well, no, they actually went
John C. Dvorak: to bed. Did you buy the one that we saw on the
on the online? You know
Adam Curry: what, there were three, three different kinds.
And the one that we saw online there were there was kind of
there were two other choices. One was the French kind, was
like $300.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, they're a little pricey. Because they're
enameled.
Adam Curry: They were all a mammal. Maybe a different May.
John C. Dvorak: Okay, what do you do? I always go with it. The
one I use is real is American cast iron is it's the big it's
the big heavy duty good cast iron cast iron that needs to be
cured.
Adam Curry: Yeah. So I got the one that emerald cells. Okay, I
liked it. I liked it. Yeah, it was. So it's six quarts. And we
perfect. Yeah, we needed the
John C. Dvorak: purpose. Yep. Yeah. Cook a lot of meals in
that thing
Adam Curry: now. And I'm really going to get into this because
this was a dynamite thing to do. I followed your instructions,
although I did something really stupid, which I think may have
contributed to the success of the meal. Because you know, what
you do? The whole secret really is you're throwing in a bottle
of wine. And that's really the secret to it. And that's just
going to although you have a secret ingredient, which is the
cooking Sockeye, I thought that was a that's a very cool thing
to do kind of after your second hour. But I had also asked you
what wine they should serve at the meal. And you had said you
would suggest the Cotuit on 2009 But 2010 or 2011 would do and so
I'd found a Cotuit own and I think it was it was not cheap.
It was like 17 bucks or something 2000 And it's
expensive to run but yeah, well so the mistake is I wound up
pouring that into the suit.
John C. Dvorak: Jacket technically meat. beef
bourguignon, of course is a variation on stew the French
version is made in Burgundy and it's technically supposed to be
made with a burgundy wine and I suggested a Pino Yeah. And you
used instead of serraj or actually a granola Roblin
whatever is Indian do nobody knows what's in it have to go
into rooms. So that would move it would shift the flavor
profile substantially but it work. Well. Yeah. And actually
anyone will work I've cooked those things. White wine.
Adam Curry: And what's great about this is the kitchen is
clean when everyone shows up. This is clean. Everything's all
the messes cleared. The things sit in there. It's just bubbling
along, John, they could not believe that like You're like
you're full of crap you've cooked before. You've done this
before so not not never first time and I gave you full credit.
They all know who you are. Of course. I gave you full credit
John C. Dvorak: for coaching. You
Adam Curry: know, I said it's so nice and right down to buying
the Dutch oven today. So I was honest about it, but I didn't
say it was birth beef Bergen ya just said it was double dip
recession slaves do. That's good. Yeah. Hey, I need to make
good, my friend. Oh yeah, yeah, because I feel so bad about that
Matt Lauer thing with Gerard Butler and the movie connection
with North Korea I felt I felt like really really bad.
John C. Dvorak: Why cuz you got lower fired?
Adam Curry: No. Well, I mean, we have long Istat logs since
established for those of you who are new to the program, this is
kind of a good way to ease into it. We'll show you kind of how
we think and how the how the world actually works the world
of news. We have long established that most news
reports certainly on the big networks are pretty much always
to promote a movie because that's where
John C. Dvorak: that's where it's just it's just a
coincidence that we keep running into I don't know if
Adam Curry: it's just a coincidence it's not that's
where all the fun seems to be at the movies you know, you got the
hot actresses politicians like to hang out with them. This is
always new surrounding movies. And this seems to be no secret
in in movie land and in television, land and news land.
In fact, Robert Redford was on the done the what is it? Good
Morning America with George Stephanopoulos, who of course,
is a a political operative for the Democrats and obviously
worked in the Clinton White House. And ABC coincidentally,
and ABC and the news director of ABC is married to one of Obama's
top advisors, not Valerie Jarrett, but up there in the
high echelons. And so, Robert Redford is promoting his movie,
and this is just to ease you into what I'm about to explain
with North Korea.
Unknown: My wife and I watched the movie over the weekend
completely engrossing. And it seems to me at least that you
packed a lot of your passions into a single movie, political
commitment, love and family life journalism. I'm just wondering,
where did the spark come from on this one? Well, first of all,
that's a great description. You got to get on the marketing.
When I was younger,
Adam Curry: you got to get on the marketing team. No, no, he
is on the marketing team. Not in this case. There's no real time.
Usually there's a touch of particularly with ABC and Disney
movies in this case. I think that's why Robert Redford said
you ought to get on the marketing team. They need
somebody because he knows. Now this is an independently finance
movie. It's a Sony, Sony international pictures or
whatever, which is very good. That is actually quite
independent. But still, you could see a CBS time but it's
not there. Now, back to the Matt Lauer. And Gerard Butler, who
was a producer on this movie, Olympus Has Fallen is that what
it is Olympus, Olympus Olympus Has Fallen? And, and and the
premise of this movie is the North Koreans are terrorists and
somehow they've come down from North Korea.
John C. Dvorak: So they transform transmogrify. Yeah.
Adam Curry: And so, and I caught this clip, but I'd forgotten,
forgotten to play it. And then, you know, John brought up the
topic. I was like, Oh, I couldn't find the clip. And the
chat room found it for me. So I have to kind of regroup because
we didn't actually play the entire clip. And then I want to
put a couple of things together for you. So once again, the
movie is Olympus Has Fallen. And this is Matt Lauer on the so
this is NBC. But of course, what is interesting is what you're
about to hear on the tie ins with the politics in the movie
business. So let's listen to it one more time. All right,
Unknown: Butler, welcome back. Good
to see you.
You got clout. Let me tell you what, you have cloud. All right,
this movie is about not giving anything away here. The North
Koreans are the terrorists here, they take over the White House
and they captured the president. And you have arranged just as
you're promoting this movie to have the North Koreans make all
kinds of strange gestures toward the United States threatening
nuclear war. Now, how did you do that?
Adam Curry: Well, it wasn't so much for me, we have a very
powerful publicity department. Alright, so this this was very
funny. And by the way, the movie is on Millennium pictures.
Millennium pictures is run by a very interesting guy, the
producers Avi Lerner, and Avi Lerner. He was kind of like it.
He was a film distributor in Israel. And he he wound up
basically becoming the go to guy for all big action action
movies. And so this, of course, is one of those action movies.
And his initial Financing came from blockbuster as a part of
the Viacom family. So most of his movie movies are financed,
directly or indirectly by Viacom. And now let's hear the
rest of this little interview. Just make some noise and say
some ridiculous things and Then recode Dennis Rodman and you got
a favorite you're pulling in all the strings. Okay, so that of
course is a joke but is it really because Dennis Rodman was
in North Korea? And And here's where the interesting research
comes from. What was he doing in North Korea? Who was he working
for?
John C. Dvorak: Okay, well I know one thing which was that
his his lead, because let's face it, the North Koreans don't know
who Dennis Rodman is but they do know who the Harlem
Globetrotters are. Well, yes, yes. So he got in but it looked
like it was just him but then we discovered the Globetrotters
that because I guess you know, they I'm sure they put on a show
there must have been a fascination of
Adam Curry: the Globetrotters, which is owned by a majority
stake owned by Disney. I agree with you. I think that that was
set up by Disney and Disney is thinking about opening
Disneyland North Korea. However, Robin was there for working for
vice. And vice is used to be in kind of like an independent
magazine. But I got some research. Do you know who owns
vise
John C. Dvorak: who owns vise Adam, Viacom when since when
Adam Curry: they bought this was a deal that was done, I think in
2007 and is completely under the radar and by Viacom has been so
they they, they essentially they made two investments. One was VB
s.tv, which is vice. And along with Flux, remember the flux
network that was supposed to be like their answer to my space
after that after they didn't get that deal. So you don't remember
because of course it was stupid and flux went nowhere. But
that's when quietly they invested in in the magazine and
built this entire vise television outfit. And I've
always wondered where are these guys getting the money from?
Yeah,
John C. Dvorak: you mentioned that before because it's like
they're they're taking they're doing a lot of expense stuff
that looks expensive.
Adam Curry: Yeah, and they've got budget. And so then when
Gerard Butler says this, you'll say some ridiculous things. And
then we call Dennis Rodman, and you got a favorite one in all
districts. It's not a joke. It's true. It's obvious. It's the
same frickin company.
John C. Dvorak: Well, I you know, Sumner Redstone is one
character.
Adam Curry: He's a slick, dude. I mean,
John C. Dvorak: I met him. Yeah, he is. He's a he's a he's a
character. Let's put it that way. But he is just a very it
just, he just seems like this tough guy. And Yuri see, where
do you think I met him? In South Korea.
Adam Curry: Really? He was setting it up back then. That
guy is good.
John C. Dvorak: I didn't think about it till now. Speaking of
Adam Curry: which, so you have to look at this. If you're
looking at colonics it's a commercial company. It's not a
nonprofit. It's not a it's not it's this is the this is what's
crazy. It is a for profit company. COMM onyx.com actually
started by a Dutch guy, which, and they just got a new CEO Suzy
Mudge. Yeah.
John C. Dvorak: I think Suzy Mudge has a LinkedIn profile
that
Adam Curry: for some Suzy, I'd looked at her obviously I didn't
find you didn't have a wiki page. No, she's not very
interesting. She's been in the organization for 20 years. So
she screwed her way to the top. Yeah, well, it took her a long
time.
John C. Dvorak: What are you gonna do? Susie she looks like
she good for rolling the Hey
Adam Curry: hello, misogynist, no agenda for you, everybody.
Happy to be here once again. Anyway, to wind up the war on
crazy. Here's the craziest person of all, Congresswoman
Diana did get. And this is a great piece of video where she's
talking about banning the magazine clips, as she calls
them, magazine, high capacity magazine clips. But her
reasoning behind it is rather strange. And I want you to
listen with me just very briefly to your last question was the
efficacy of pad banning these magazine clips. I will tell you
these, these this is these are ammunition. They're bullets. So
the people who have those now they're going to shoot them. And
so if you ban if you ban him in the future, the number of these
high capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over
time because the bullets will have been shot and there won't
be any more of it. level.
John C. Dvorak: This is unbelievable what a cloud is
like that woman that was on the day and the Chamber of Commerce
that we had a clip of a couple of years ago who says, Well, I
would I would think that the laws in Arizona really shouldn't
be as harsh as they are. Because it's not a border state. It's
like these people are. This is a moron. Who is this? What's her
name? Congresswoman
Adam Curry: Diana de get D E, G, E T, d e g e t. And she believes
that these clips like they're not rechargeable or something.
You can't like put more bullets in there. You buy them pack with
bullets, kind of like a candy bar. And you Yeah,
John C. Dvorak: then you got to make you have to throw it away.
It's throw it away. This isn't just a Motorola she doesn't she
looks like an idiot. No offense, lady, but you don't look that
bright. Maybe she can
Adam Curry: work for ah, and this is not work that I've done.
But I figured I'd play a little bit of just the pertinent piece
of this clip. And this is Max Keiser, who I think we both
like, in general. Yes, he has some funny stuff. But actually,
it's not max. It's his, his researcher. What's their name?
Shelly Shelby, something rather.
John C. Dvorak: And I'll just relent.
Adam Curry: Well, she, she does. I mean, I could have just
explained it, but it's cool how she does it. She, of course, we
talked about the $378 billion that Wako via bank laundered
from Mexican drug cartels. And of course, while cobia bank is
now Wells Fargo, and she connects two dots here, which
are absolutely astounding and worth listening to a big
Unknown: US Bank laundered billions from Mexico's murderous
drug gangs. So this is the guardian news. And they've done
a deep investigation into the story that we've covered before,
which is what cobia bank and they were found to have
laundered $378 billion or 30% of Mexico's GDP in this time of
drug money. The cocaine of cocaine Yes. $378 billion $370
billion, laundered through a cobia which of course now is
owned by Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway. And
of course, he's never talked about that either. And it's a
huge part of the Mexican GDP and the bank pay the fine. Well,
it's
378 billion and money laundering through the cosas de cambio. And
they paid $110 million fine or less than 2% of one year is
Adam Curry: just gotta interrupt the casas de cambio. I think
it's not just where you go change your money. The cost is
the Gumby cambio is not just the like if the exchange place where
you go and take your dollars and turn them into pesos or vice
versa. Well, I think that's what it is. Well, you look that up
while we continue because this is really good profits
Unknown: from what cobia? What cobia is now owned by Wells
Fargo, Warren Buffett owns 6.5% of it. But from this article,
there's a very interesting point that I want to note that relates
to this whole financial catastrophe. First of all, what
cobia started really getting involved in these Casa de cambio
in 2004. Just when the violence really started getting extreme
and the Mexican drug wars in April in May of 2007. Three
years later, what cobia as a result of increasing interest in
pressure from the US Attorney General's office began to close
its relationship with some of the casas de cambio. And then in
July of 2007, all of what Kobe has remaining 10 Mexican Casa de
cambio clients operating through London suddenly stopped July
2007. What happened in August of 2007 the world credit crunch
Adam Curry: so there you go. So they go on to further
extrapolate that once Mexico once the Mexican drug cartel
said no, you know what, screw we're not going to launder our
money through you anymore. That was the only liquid assets that
were coming into the banks. And then right after that, what
COVID and all these other banks started borrowing money from the
Federal Reserve because there was no money. It's all drug
money. The whole thing is drug money. Everything legalize
drugs. No, because then the whole thing melts down. You can
John C. Dvorak: already melt it down. Now that is melted down
legalized drugs. We want to deal with this anymore. No, because
Adam Curry: then the Okay. All right. And then you and I will
stop doing the show and go into growing. So while we're on that,
let me tell you a little bit about your department of
terrorism, Department of Homeland Security as I continue
to follow the sexual harassment lawsuit. Two affidavits have
come out John which I'd like to share with you. Oh, good. This
is this is way, way unsafe for the children. So two affidavits
I know In blacked out being over the age of 18 make the following
statement under penalty of perjury I've no personal
relationship. Blah blah blah. This is against Suzanne Barr.
Suzanne Barr, who was purportedly loosing Apollo
tunnels girlfriend who was brought in and sexually with
with the other douche knucklehead sexually harassed
men at the Department of Homeland Security. On the last
work day before him anyway, she
John C. Dvorak: wasn't qualified for that job to start with Go
on. On the last work
Adam Curry: day before Halloween 2009 My duties required me to go
to the director's office where several employees were
discussing discussing personal Halloween plans. I joined the
conversation Suzanne bar was also present for part of the
conversation. At some point during the conversation I
witnessed Suzanne bar turned to the senior ice employee to
Johnson and state, US sexy MOTHER FUCKA. Then she looked at
his crotch and asked how long is it anyway? Several employees
laughed nervously. Shortly thereafter, several employees
returned to work duties myself included and several continued
the Halloween conversation. Now let's go to affidavit be, this
one's even better. And this is sworn testimony from people who
are saying this. It's rampant in this Department of Homeland
Security the people who are trying to scare you into
submission. I am over the age of teen Bubba made the following
statement under penalty of perjury I work for Immigration
Customs Enforcement at Columbia area 2009. During late 2009, ICE
Director Morton and others including Suzanne Barr and Ray
Parmer visited Columbia, during the Columbia. Bear in mind.
During this visit Suzanne bar and Ray Parmer were both at a
party at the house of the deputy chief of mission of the US
Embassy in Colombia, at which I was also present. And as you can
imagine, John, it says here during this party bar and Parmer
were both drinking heavily Parmer obtained the BlackBerry
of Peter Vincent another ice employee and use it to send lewd
messages to bar I viewed at least one message which stated
from farmer posing as Vincent to bar you ready for the quote, go.
I want to eat the corn out of your shit. Ah, during this
party, Suzanne Barr approached me and offered to give me a blow
job. This is what's going on your government people to arms,
I say. Isn't it stunning? Isn't that just stunning?
John C. Dvorak: Yeah. And why is this not covered at all by NBC?
CBS
Adam Curry: because you can't say York time can't say eat the
corn out of your poop. You could. You could say Pussy Riot.
We just need to have a band. Everybody. It's the corn
Hornitos. Yours. It's the corn, corn eaters. Corn poo feeders.
John C. Dvorak: Disgusting. And again, you people that listen to
our show, they have to ask the question, why are you hearing it
on our show?
Adam Curry: Why do you have to get this news from a podcast?
John C. Dvorak: What do you think of this podcast? I mean,
it's a great it's the best podcast in the universe. But
still, it shouldn't be the one source of this sort of
information. This is this woman that came on through this woman
that came on is not only a gay lesbian, but she is she has this
new thing that a lot of them do. They take a lot of gel. And then
they grow mustaches. She had a full mustache Wait a minute,
women What do you take for that? You take Andrew gel because
there's a there's a phenomenon in the gay community and it's in
Wikipedia. It's called lesbian bed death.
Adam Curry: Oh my God, John, what do you what have you been
doing with your time
John C. Dvorak: lesbian bed death I got a lecture about this
lesbian bed death seems to happen to gay female couples
after their two or three months in bed together, they lose all
interest in sex completely really quickly. Oh my god. This
is called lesbian bed death. And to fight it. One of the two
couples takes testosterone which has also been in the news
baseball players. And when you take testosterone, you grow a
mustache. And normally you women always have a little bit of
testosterone. But if you take Andrew Joe, which is a pump that
you put on your shots you've used pumping on yourself and you
rub it in it goes through your skin. When you take that by with
any large amount of dosage, dosage, you grow the mustache
and you become very aggressive sexually.
Adam Curry: Well, first of all, I want it to be known that after
this program, I'm going to call my lesbians and I'm going to get
a full firsthand download on the lesbian bed death. I have never
heard of this. I've seen it in the book of knowledge. And
according to the study that Schwartz and Blum Steen did,
they concluded that lesbian couples and committed
relationships have less sex than any other type of coupled,
heterosexual married heterosexual cohabitating or gay
male and generally experienced less sexual intimacy the longer
the relationship lasts. After the question quote, about how
often during the last year have you and your partner had sex sex
relations. Very interesting. So then they take the Andrew jail
throughout. This is Is that covered by health care? Is that
part of the female health care decision?
John C. Dvorak: my well being as a matter of fact that the
connection that we had at the beginning of the show
Adam Curry: the female health, the women's health care
decisions, we can't make those I don't I can't even grow a
mustache if I try. My goodness
John C. Dvorak: Seemandhra so I'm sorry there's a lot of this
has not been covered. And again, people are easily distracted by
the free Pussy Riot mean as you are. But there's my mom
distracted I've
Adam Curry: completely deconstructed I just love the
Erin Burnett saying pussy, that's all. Yeah,
John C. Dvorak: it's definitely entertaining. But anyway, so
there's something going on here and then you're right Putin's
got nothing to do with this.
Adam Curry: Nothing at all. He would kill there. He would kill
them in a second. This guy doesn't care about them. But so
is then so you take the Andrew Joe you grow a moustache you
become very aggressive sexually not rekindles the lovemaking is
John C. Dvorak: one of the two partners is all cranked up on
interest. Rate. Wow, would you stop this the juice man is the
juice this stuff is the future
Adam Curry: and last, so what if I take it? Well, I become your
leader. I
John C. Dvorak: would be great for you.
Adam Curry: What do you mean what's wrong with me? There's
nothing wrong with me. Wow, how should this medicine be used? It
comes as a gel to apply to the skin. Oh, so you apply it right
to your upper lip and you get and that's your upper lip. That
says it right here. No, it doesn't say Andrew jail comes as
a gel applied to the skin.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, not the upper lip where you apply
specific parts of the body that are that absorb through the skin
the the chemical you need,
Adam Curry: you can apply Androgel anywhere on your
shoulders, upper arms or abdomen, between your chest and
your waist. Be careful not to get testosterone gel in your
eyes. Thanks for the advice.
John C. Dvorak: I just grew hair in my eyes.
Adam Curry: If you do get testosterone gel in your eyes,
wash them right away with warm clean water call the doctor if
your eyes become irritated or if you grow hair. Wow. Well, this
is fascinating stuff. I'm gonna put this in the show notes
lesbian bed death. Bed. I'm putting that right under the
pussy Putin thing and Andrew Joe, this is wild. John, you've
trumped me. This is very good stuff. But I am going to talk to
my lesbians because they'll know about this for sure. Oh, yeah.
John C. Dvorak: They'll say Oh, yeah. mandro JELA. Have you
Adam Curry: just seen me shaving bitch?
John C. Dvorak: Shut up. Wow. Never heard of that before? No.
Well, Hillary does. So they all do. Yeah. Oh,
Adam Curry: I'm glad you brought up Hillary. This is very, very
cool. So clippety clop. I should get her jingle out Hold on a
second. It wasn't a good clippety by the way, they've
moved the carpet. In in her room there. So now when the doors
open, she's almost on the carpet immediately. So you can barely
get a clippity clop out of her. Oops, sorry. I didn't want to
play that one. I wanted to play clip,
John C. Dvorak: jumping the gun.
Unknown: Just clear.
Adam Curry: Okay, so here's Hillary with the Italian Foreign
Minister doing one of her little clippity clop stand ups
Unknown: very strong commitment to making a difference in the
world and beyond. And on that point. Let me congratulate the
European Union on its Nobel Peace Prize. Certainly, it's
quite remarkable to see how unified and peaceful Europe is.
Adam Curry: Oh, well, let's switch over to the BBC.
John C. Dvorak: The general strike in Athens where it's kind
of kicked off if you will, you can see
Unknown: well, there's a
John C. Dvorak: fireball that we've seen some tear gas being
dropped. Of course, what is this the was it the second third gen?
Adam Curry: Yes, this is this is our peaceful or peaceful Europe.
They're Hillary's taxi drivers. This is fantastic.
Congratulations on your peace prize bus drivers air traffic
controllers, and of course, there's nothing but explosions
and fire bombs going off in Athens,
John C. Dvorak: not just Athens. Now, he sorted but this happens
is good. Just
Unknown: a Merkel and the other eurozone some of the other
Eurozone leaders who are insistent Wow. rather dramatic
shocks here with those firebombs. These other Eurozone
leaders insistent that Greece stick to these very tough
austerity measures
in the 21st century. And that did not happen. By coincidence.
It happened because of the very hard work and dedication of
leaders and citizens across Europe. So For us, it's a great
validation.
Adam Curry: What planet are you on? horrible woman?
John C. Dvorak: Well, you if you haven't noticed, they don't show
any of this this crap going on to the American audiences. So
she's just playing to the American audience. And
Adam Curry: this was a mistake. I mean, this was supposed to be
like a nice little morning chat show where they're just showing
a Top Shot camera of the police and all sudden you see these
Molotov cocktails flying through? And they're literally
surprised like, Oh, that's a fireball. Oh, well. Oh, my
goodness. Oh, well, what should we do?
John C. Dvorak: So the point that I'm trying to make here,
which is that that is a distraction to what actually was
a key point that people miss buzzkill Jr, caught it
immediately. And, and then when I heard it, and it was was he
said it as all cheese. Yes. And that's this comment here, which
came just before the Libya just the clip Obama means what he
says,
Adam Curry: Okey dokey, people, not everybody agrees with some
of the decisions I've made. Or it comes to our national
security. I mean, what I say,
John C. Dvorak: which implies that he doesn't mean what he
says about anything else. Hey, hey, buzz
Adam Curry: kill Jr. That's right. It's only that one. Yeah,
everything else that
John C. Dvorak: you say? Yeah, when you go out to eat? I mean,
what I say about this. I mean, what I say about this is it has
all kinds of implications and nobody caught that. Words.
Adam Curry: That's like when someone says, Oh, do you want me
to tell you the truth? I usually say no, no, please continue to
bullshit me like you've been doing for the past 20 years of
my life. And you hear that all the time, right? I'm going to
tell you the truth now. I mean, honestly, and when someone says
that honestly, and I'll have I can't help but say no, no, no,
please. Please give me the dishonest version like
everything else. You've been telling me Don't give me honesty
now. I don't like your honesty. That's exactly what that was. A
good catch by by buzzkill Jr, good catch.
John C. Dvorak: Good. Oh, I do have just one clip. We should
play that just out of curiosity. He makes this weird noise every
once in a while and I have a good clip of it. And he does it
it is more than a few times in the speech. Listen to Chuck
Hagel makes a sound I'll hear about this I'm sure to hearing
next week but I think it's relevant to your question
Adam Curry: were you producing again?
John C. Dvorak: No. I swear to God I know nothing to sweeten
that clip
Adam Curry: that comes out of his pie hole. Yes. No. None of
this I'm sure to hearing next week but I think that sounds
like Homer Simpson is in his head. No, this and this happens
more than once.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, he just not as loud as this one.
Unknown: No, no, no.
Adam Curry: Wait a minute. This squeaking sound that's not a
squeaking sound. That's a whole other human being inside of him.
I'm gonna do it one more time. That sounds so produced John and
I believe
John C. Dvorak: you let me stop stop you right now. I'm telling
you the truth.
Adam Curry: I trust you and believe you I have no reason to
doubt you. You've never steered me wrong.
John C. Dvorak: If you went back and get picked this offseason,
then you'd get it off of there yourself. I'll hear
Adam Curry: about this I'm sure to hearing next week but I think
it's relevant to your question. He's got a donkey up there.
John C. Dvorak: It's weird, isn't it? Wow. Here's another
screwy thing. So you know you're familiar to show the
Adam Curry: view and I don't watch it
John C. Dvorak: No, you don't have to watch it because it's
terrible but but they've decided to kind of up the ante a little
bit with you know better guests so they brought in one of these
some guy for the guy from Israel I guess and play the this is
this is what they use for the teaser to open the show with the
crowd going wild. Who's
Adam Curry: the Who's the guy from Israel who
John C. Dvorak: was it wasn't Netanyahu was some other guy.
Unknown: He's really Ambassador Michael Laura has wanting to
America about how he runs nuclear program is aimed right
at Israel drag the US into a world war that'll set the entire
Middle East and
Adam Curry: I love it I love it. Hey everybody, we can be dying
world war three Mike started at a moment he's got Iran pointed
right at Israel
Unknown: please welcome
Adam Curry: the ambassador. Fantastic.
John C. Dvorak: That that is like the Dvorak Korean
consulting club that
Adam Curry: is over that is exactly you know that it's
pretty much win loser drone without without the jingle for
those of you who have never heard it is it good to go like
this? That's right we welcome to the guy who's about to get a
hell fire up is my friend. You're a loser.
I like that.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, perfect. That's good. Well,
Adam Curry: there you go, that someone's listening to the show.
And of course, the Netherlands bites when we're in an air b&b
Right now, as we know, that's our new thing. Why ever stay in
a hotel ever again?
John C. Dvorak: Which is really gonna outlaw Airbnb.
Adam Curry: I think it's I think the opposite is going to happen.
John C. Dvorak: I think they already did it New York City.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Adam Curry: They the government made Okay, let's step back for a
second. Here's the future of our world. And we see we're seeing
this with Uber and we're, you know, obviously we're seeing
with Airbnb, you're going to see more of this, the the world's
economy is going to run on. I call them credibility market
exchanges, or something like that. So with Airbnb, you're
very much like Yelp, only the Yelp got pretty compromised, but
I think you can still, you know, I think you actually follow some
people still on Yelp and you take Airbnb, you look at the at
the reviews and you decide, you know, if you want to, if, you
know, if you want to stay in this place, and you can always
negotiate the price, which is kind of cool. But you also you
have a lot of power. So there a couple of things that weren't
right here and we called up and said, Hey, man, you know, you
want a shitty review from us? Are you going to knock something
off the price, you're going to take care of a couple of things
right now, because you do have some power because these guys
don't want a bad review. Conversely, Airbnb has their own
database of me and I'm in it and there are you know, anyone who's
renting out their place can go and look up me and see if I got
a bad review from somebody else saying well this guy trashed the
place or so this is really interest that's what Uber does
as well with with drivers and passengers. So Airbnb may go
away, but the because as a business obviously, it's
competing with the hotels and the tax revenue. But I think as
we move forward and people start to realize that all these
companies there's really there's no real good way to make money
on the internet other than providing dialogue you know,
internet access, but regulation will kill these types of
businesses but there will be tons of of databases where you
have this credibility and you can trade stuff and you know,
then and buy things from people directly. I think we're gonna
see a lot of that but the the,
John C. Dvorak: you know, you have to give credit where credit
is due this actually began with eBay.
Adam Curry: A totally apps this absolutely where it started.
John C. Dvorak: eBay came up with the idea that you can buy
direct from one person to another and then they would
review each other that you said, this buyer never sent me the
money or this guy's a scammer scammer, or this piece of crap.
He showed one picture and send us something else. And that sort
of thing. You even Craigslist doesn't do that. Right? I mean,
you can post something in the commentaries of Craigslist, but
nobody reads.
Adam Curry: Actually, I would go a little bit beyond eBay and I
would give the porn industry I would give them props because
the porn industry is always a little bit ahead of the curve.
And I think escort reviews came before eBay.
John C. Dvorak: Escort reviews are one way no customer reviews.
Old Adam curry came over the other day and tried to ping me
and he couldn't get it up. No, that's not true. Okay,
Adam Curry: but okay. All right. I'll take that. I just think
that all right.
John C. Dvorak: Well, everybody wants to do this. By the way. I
this is one of my major pet peeves for the last 25 years.
Oh, the porn industry is way ahead of everybody else. They
did everything wasn't for the porn industry there'd be no VHS
and Sony Betamax which is bullcrap. The thing that made
those those systems work was sports recording. That's why VHS
one over beta because it could record a whole football game and
beta couldn't Oh, is this
Adam Curry: I had never heard this. I liked it. This is a very
interesting take. I'd never heard that.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, and so that mean that's the only reason
that the difference there was a quality difference would be in
favor of beta right but it could only record two hours and VHS
was always at the get go started recording with four and then
went to six and beta just fell because why would I want this
one I can get this and so they and it was you know and there
was also more competition. It was kind of like the iPad versus
the Android
Adam Curry: but don't forget there was also the Philips
system 2000
John C. Dvorak: Oh, well I don't know if it the Magnavox and my
all time favorite was good. My favorite one was a guy who went
to this was that era when they had all these competitors and
this guy takes me aside he said and then even Technicolor had a
little eight millimeter job that was kind of ahead of its time.
But this guy takes me sizes don't get this stuff. It's just
it's just this is the this is the future this Sanyo V chord.
Adam Curry: Who was this guy? Where was
John C. Dvorak: this one of these Pacific stereos or one of
these things? Yeah, Sanyo V core. As he got it technology's
better. It's easier to make everybody's go into it,
Adam Curry: everybody. Yeah. I'll you know what, I'll take
that. But I think I've never heard this theory about the
sports games and the length of recording. I've also always
heard it was the porn industry. And I'm with you on that I stand
corrected. But it's so rampant It is horrible. So this is the
main problem. And and, and I think the way it's really done,
is they, you know, like the current the North Korean news
agency, you might as well just say, Langley, that Hello, I'm
reporting from Langley, the North Korean news agency here.
Because that is that's how it works. They will place articles
in foreign papers, foreign news reports, and then that trickles
back as fact. And it's picked up by the idiots. It's not like
this, like, this is when people always say, well, that's
impossible. That can't be that conspiracy can't be true. People
wouldn't talk about it, they would be known. Not everyone can
keep their mouth shut,
John C. Dvorak: do talk about anyone would get out of there,
get off their butts and read family secrets, read a book,
they would go and fact there's a lot of books that discuss this.
It's the people that don't discuss it are the mainstream
daily news media. Yeah. And those are the ones that have
been co opted in one way, shape or form every you know, and
there's plenty of documentation for this. If anyone doesn't
believe this and thinks some sort of weird conspiracy, it's
not. But the thing that's interesting is it actually has
gotten it gotten to the point where it is made all the news.
It's not credible anymore.
Adam Curry: Nothing is credible. You can't believe anything,
except it will us. And we don't really have all the info we had.
John C. Dvorak: We were only all we're doing is mining what we
see and then find that sometimes all we do is just add logic.
It's like does this logically make any sense? Yeah. How hard
is that to do that? Logic? I like that. In fact, a lot of
people I know, listen to this show, because they're
Adam Curry: their intelligence and they listen to the show.
Yeah, but the
John C. Dvorak: public at large, is logical, or they would
actually be dead, you'd have to be logical, you know, if you're,
if it's a red light, and traffic is flying around, you don't feel
logically you run into traffic. I mean, just everyone is
logical. So when they see these news stories, they themselves go
cheese. That doesn't make sense. But maybe it's true, because
it's in the New York Times, then when they hear us and it's Oh, I
thought it was bull crap, too. Before I started naming our
people for today's show, I want to play a clip, which is when I
fall again, who am I? This is PBS, this is where people send
lots of money to they have lots of sponsors, they got
underwriters and all this. I just want to play what I
consider a corrupt report by Gwen eyeful of when she
discusses that idiot that we talked about earlier in the show
Aiken and his rape, legitimate illegitimate rape thing. And it
because there's a there's a there's a point of information
here that is purposely left out, and you have to remember that
Gwen is the one. She seems like a very sweet woman, by the way
in a good reporter, but she's the one who wrote the
Adam Curry: he. She's not that's the problem.
John C. Dvorak: She might not be if she wrote the hagiography of
Obama, and she's a huge Obama supporter, and this is the kind
of report we get
Unknown: from her, impregnated by rape apologized, but said he
would not be forced from the campaign. Resulting uproar has
pleased Democrats and enraged Republicans, including other
lawmakers and fundraisers and come at Missouri Senator Claire
McCaskill, a Democrat has said Republicans should accept Aikins
apology.
I think what's startling to me is that these party bigwigs are
coming down on him and saying that he needs to kick sand in
the face of the Republican primary voters
but party leaders including Missouri Senator Roy Blunt, and
former Senators Kitt bond, John Ashcroft, John Danforth, and Jim
talent, all called for akin to stepaside.
Adam Curry: So what are they missing?
John C. Dvorak: Hey, how about mentioning that the Claire
McCaskill clip that went on and on and on about how they should
forgive this guy and let him do his own thing? She's the guy
running against him. Minor detail a minor detail she's the
one who's who you said yeah, let's run this idiot Hey, why
don't you guys leave him alone? I like to see I'd like to be
running against him. That's never mentioned it she's like an
objective observers to making this kind of as bold crap. This
is like the most slanted thing I've seen on the on this news
hour for a long time. And it's so subtle, it was really
disgusting.
Adam Curry: And how much money do they get from the government
and how much money? Yeah, millions. I'm gonna show my
school by donate to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could
do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
John C. Dvorak: Well, here we are I on the clip show and so we
don't really have anybody to thank you except for Ramsey set
for Ramsey and we will do a complete thank you on the next
show, which will be the 24th and Thursday on Thursday will be
621. We'll do a complete thank you for everyone for this show.
And the next show, so it's going to be a little long. We hope
Adam Curry: section in the that would be nice.
John C. Dvorak: Long for the 24th we get to thanks. So
everyone who's came in with knighthoods or big donations or
a producer ships? You'll you'll have to wait to the Thursday
show. And
Adam Curry: I'll have I'm sure I'll have some Tales from the
travels. I've never been to Mexico in my life. Oh,
John C. Dvorak: yeah. So a great hot hot sauce. And I recommend
using it. Okay, all righty. Also a disinfectant.
Adam Curry: I really have no idea where Ms. Mickey took me.
Okay, well,
John C. Dvorak: you'll find out when you get them. Yeah, but
it's it's it's you know, it's usually the fruit that makes you
sick. By the way.
Adam Curry: I'm not going to eat any dough and water drink
bottled water. It's just a favorite. It is it is our fifth
anniversary. You do not need dysentery. No, not on our fifth
anniversary. No, where we celebrate would without just
about the fifth is. So yeah, we appreciate everyone who
supported us even in while the pre support we got was great.
And in our and our absence today. But of course you still
have some fun to listen to, and maybe a good primer, to listen
together with other people who are new to the concept, right?
Hit him in the mouth with the show. Um, that's probably what
Ramsey has put together. Because that's kind of kind of what he
does.
John C. Dvorak: And I want to remind people to go to
divorce.org/n A to contribute to the Thursday show. Or you can
also go to challenge of arc.com a slash and a there's also no
agenda nation.com And there's a button there you can push and so
also no agenda show there should be a button you can get to. But
if you'd help us out for the Thursday show, we'd really
appreciate it. So forex.org/and a two let's go on to part two.
Adam Curry: They have hot pockets mac and cheese now.
John C. Dvorak: Oh, yeah. Why don't you just make something
bad worse.
Adam Curry: It's so funny. So I ordered the memory. We got the
gift card for the mac and cheese like 12 pack. So I ordered that.
And the other day our old neighbor comes by in the morning
because he said Oh Mickey I got your package. And Mickey had
ordered like some makeup thing that you know, you can't get
anywhere and so she's really excited. And you know, so Jen
drops by and have coffee and they're yapping away you know
it's nine in the morning I'm sitting in the corner prepping
as usual like I get up and see what was going out in the world
with some C span on my usual chip herself. And then you know
because I can't wait she opens up the box and it's freaking mac
and cheese. Yeah, I was Mr. unfavored Id No, unfriended. Not
good. So the Bilderberg Group for that, what do you call John?
The drinking club is going on over there in Watford. Watford,
I believe is where Elton John is from. I think it's kind of this
invited. I think he's performing in the foyer actually. And, you
know, every single year in the we've we've looked at this, I've
met a couple of Bilderbergers. The current minister of foreign
affairs that is for the Secretary of State, I guess, is
what you'd call them in the Netherlands. He's the guy that I
interviewed him once on the Dutch radio show where they
burned the station to the ground. And he said, You're
doing very important work here. You got to continue this he was
trying to like give me a clue like we're really up to no good.
But this Bilderberg you know, it's like oh, the last last time
was oh, there there Romney's the man that we're the New World
Order has determined Romney's going to win. Well, how'd that
work out? So now I'm much more on the exam, the drinking club
front, but lately, but this year, there must be 3000 people
out there and and it's funny because you can see now, the
weather some of them are I'm sure some people doing it
intentionally. I have always suspected Alex Jones of doing
this. You know, there was an actual guy in a clown suit. The
clown makeup on running around this man these people have been
truly talking the whole so it makes it look like a bunch of
nut jobs. True true freakin nut jobs. Who really some people
have very good analysis. There's some really intelligent people
there. We we look at we try to give you an alternative view of
what's happening in the world. But what discredits us time and
time again, Alex Jones is an aihole. He goes out there, and
he does this stuff on mainstream television, which makes it that
much harder for anyone to question. Any type of true
conspiracy, which are the stories the mainstream, the
minority mainstream media propagates, when you do things
like this on the BBC. And by the way, there's no reason for him
to go on the BBC. He says he's got 3 million listeners and 40
million people watch his videos. There's no reason for him to go
on the BBC on a Sunday. Because he's just always I mean, just
listen how this ended, it was unbelievable how he is hurting,
hurting the alternative media's chances at reaching anybody
because the minute you bring up anything now, people think that
this is who you are.
Unknown: That's why because the establishment Alright, know
what, Alex is this point. And it's an it's an important one, I
would have, say 10 years ago said, listen to all this stuff.
He believes that people put cancer virus in vaccines in
order to create a eugenics program. That's what that's what
he believes. We would have said, and we would and I would have
said, that's kind of mad and so on. And it's an interesting
psychological, like, dismiss a problem or conspiracy theories
like this. I believed I believed in I'm here to warn people you
keep telling me to shut up. This isn't a game. Okay. Our
government the US is building FEMA camps. We have an NDA where
they disappear people now you have this arrest for public
safety life in prison. You are the worst person of interest.
No, no, it's their heads disappear. David, thank you for
John C. Dvorak: watching. We have a nifty little program
coming up.
Unknown: will not stop the Republic, the US awakening
infowars.com If you guys are probably looking at the week
ahead with our vertical panel until the Sunday politics
crossed, the thick of the public isn't waking up. So
John C. Dvorak: well, you got to give him credit.
Adam Curry: He got the URL. And that's for sure.
John C. Dvorak: twice now.
Adam Curry: So I think this really she I think I think it's
unnecessary.
John C. Dvorak: Before you go, Can you Can I just interrupt for
a second before you because I want to hear what you say. But
this reminds me of that guy that has the question marks all over
his suit. Remember that guy? The ribs on the book? I hate get all
this money from the government? Oh, yeah, that guy. Yeah, he had
all these question marks over suit. He had the catenacci
agent. I won't mention his name because it's ridiculous. Who
said you know what you ought to do. I know we can get a best
seller out of this because you got the same guy. You know that
guy. I forgot his name. You should do something like that.
This is like this is like what Alex Jones is doing. It's just
he's just a clown.
Adam Curry: What? Yeah, complete complete clown. Um, here's the
guy. I Hold on. What's his name? I got I got him on the Google's
free money. Matthew Lesko.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, let's go.
Adam Curry: You know, you could pull it off. Actually, I see if
you if you put on the suit and the bow tie.
John C. Dvorak: The bow giants. Opposite me tells you you so
what were you thinking when you heard this? That's a by the way?
I will. No, no, no, no, I
Adam Curry: can't. I can't take it. I can't take it. No. Two
years ago. Well, what was that? You can't
John C. Dvorak: take the Clip of the Day?
Adam Curry: No, no, I can't take I can't I cannot accept it. I
just can't accept that. No, I can't. I I don't think it's that
great. Okay, no, thank you very much. I
John C. Dvorak: appreciate it in advance, you get a second place,
you know, after you
Adam Curry: after you like compare him to Glenn Beck. You
know, that's still kind of smarts a little bit. Let me let
me give you a little more extra or let me give the producers of
the show a little more extra data. So we had this Bolivian
incident and and this was essentially the setup to rile up
all of South America. Let me play this is about a minute and
a half of we have Bolivia, Venezuela, Argentina, by the
way, the the Venezuelan President. He's kind of like a
like a Devo safety dance hat on this very interesting outfit
he's wearing and these are the them speaking and translations.
It's a little compilation of what they're saying about the
President and the United States of America.
Unknown: If necessary, we will close the US Embassy in Bolivia.
We do not need the US Embassy. We don't need this pretext of
cooperation and diplomatic relations when they come to
conspire from within and from outside. The US Ambassador to
Bolivia is gone. The US Drug Enforcement Administration is
gone. Surely the CIA is infiltrated all over the place.
Adam Curry: And now we go to Venezuela, my hand would not
Unknown: tremble to shut down the US Embassy. We have dignity,
we have sovereignty. Without America, we are better off
politically. And democratically.
Adam Curry: That was still I believe you announcement
Unknown: gave the order to the authorities in these countries
and said Young Snowden was on the plane with a CIA. According
to what has happened in Europe, the CIA is more powerful than
the government's. He's in charge in Europe, European governments
and the people, the CIA.
plus un, President of Bolivia were held hostage for 13 hours.
And now they're trying to explain all this, saying it was
due to technical problems, or feel problems.
Adam Curry: Okay, so that was the three South American
countries in a row and very interesting how they're talking
about the CIA being infiltrated how America is shit, you know?
And by the way, to the chat room, you're absolutely right.
Devo did not do safety dance that was men without hats. And
because that's the only thing you care about. I'm logging off
of the chat room, because you're idiots. You're not the only fact
that can take up on. So. I mean, I just logged out. How stupid
are you? Oh, there was it was meant with that hat. Alright. So
there's clearly and this is all Russian based. Putin is sitting
there laughing at this because
John C. Dvorak: Putin is having the time of his life. I wouldn't
be surprised if Putin's group didn't make themselves look like
the CIA pulling this off. Well, let
Adam Curry: me tell you what happened. So the Bolivian
President had just had a meeting in Moscow, he's flying back from
Moscow, where, you know, they have a $5 billion deal with
Gazprom, which is Putin. They know what side of the bread is
buttered. And this whole like, oh, they were they were free or
they were not allowed to cross they were forced to land well,
here is the if you look on the map, they they they tried to
land in Portugal for fueling that Portugal Faro airport I
believe could not take them for technical reasons which is
highly possible that they had to divert but if you look at the
map and then circle around the go to Austria this is the the
tail numbers Fox Alpha Bravo 001 And I'm going to let you in a
little bit of pilot humor here as you listen to this force
landing in Austria
evening information wiki Okay, so that's the tower saying Good
evening How you doing information whiskey which this
is the that's the the current weather an atmosphere
conditions, expect this runway? How you doing?
Do you need any assistance? They need any assistance. So this is
the Austrian flight controller saying hey, do you guys need any
assistance when you land? You know, because we know that your
presidential plan you need anything anything we can do ice
cream, you know, Twizzlers, anything we can get for you. At
this moment, we need to laugh because we cannot get a correct
indication of indication.
Now, let me tell you a little bit of pilot humor. So what he
said is no, no, we don't need assistance we need to land
because we cannot get a correct indication of our fuel level.
Therefore, we need to land as a precautionary measure. This is a
$47 million jet. Which is this is not like your fuel gauge in
your car. And it's not just one fuel gauges, multiple fuel gauge
fuel pressure fuel flow. This is very, very rare. In fact,
there's two things pilots use when they want to make an
unscheduled landing, because this was an unscheduled landing
that probably because Putin said All right. Here's what we're
gonna do. Firstly, I'm going to say that Anna Chapman wants to
marry Snowden that'll piss everybody off. Then I want you
guys to pretend like you're being forced down. But he's not
he is requested to land. And the two things if you need to make
an unscheduled stop or some change that is not a part of
your flight plan. The two things you use are one. Oh, man,
there's something wrong with the fuel. We don't know because you
didn't declare an emergency. You see, declaring an emergency is a
whole different level. He said no, no, as a precautionary
measure. We might have something wrong with the fuel. We want to
land. The other one which you use in smaller aircraft and
every pilot will know this. You say? Yeah, we have passenger
who's sick. In other words, you know that we got someone puking
in your cockpit and you want to land and you just want to get
them out. because it smells a puke and you want to stop, and
though they're both usually lies, because you just want to
convert to a different flight plan you want to land somewhere
you were too lazy to file etc. To this does not jive with, they
were not allowed to enter airspace, they were blocked. No,
they they did it made an unscheduled stop. And it was
their request and it was a lie that brought him down. But this
whole thing South America is I think what Putin is doing is
saying, Okay, you want to surround everything here. You
want all your rockets, you want to put everything here you want
it. You want Syria, you got your stuff in Poland, you got all of
North Africa, how about it get South America all I'm waiting
for now is for Mexico to start saying something to us that we
John C. Dvorak: had to put in the Red Book Mexico, Mexico,
Mexico,
Adam Curry: Mexico next. This is cold war. And I think Did you
hear Bolivia Venezuela in and Argentina this is like all of
South America is an upward Well I think the Russians pretty much
have deals with all of those countries
John C. Dvorak: No, it's It's becoming quite funny to us. Now
what was the point or was you think that this was bogus where
they came in and searched the plane for supposedly for Snowden
but there was the plane
Adam Curry: made? Maybe they just continued with the ruse and
had look if they really had a fuel indicator problem, then it
can take quite a while to get someone out to look knows this
Trident jet and knows how to look at the fuel indicator you
you kind of have to keep the roof going whatever. But they
asked if they needed assistance. This is not a forced landing.
This is not like someone checking. This is all all a lie.
None of it is true. None of it that's why we are by the way, I
want to thank who was it our producer who was very very kind
the only one by the way, as far as I know. Oops, I'm going the
wrong way here. Tyler, who sent us that he had just heard the
show and sent us a flurry of emails he's Oh man, I got this
PowerShell script and figured it out we can use it to vote 4000
times and like it was like two hours left for voting.
John C. Dvorak: I really have to get hold of Tyler about a month
before next year show set up about 25 of these things and
just bomb
Adam Curry: but when we have no chance John we have we have no I
think if
John C. Dvorak: we have enough people that will set up the
script and run it overnight.
Adam Curry: I won't feel good about that. I'm not gonna I
don't care. Let me tell you how I feel okay, please.
John C. Dvorak: I'm gonna give you my story. So we had there
was a used to be the Comdex use of this famous Chili Cook Off.
And the initial Chili Cook goes yeah, yeah, the first chili cook
off. I won had professional judges and my chili was is was
one because it's chili was a little off. It was not a
standard. It was a better tasting chili is a reasonable
one. And the professional judges recognize it for what it was a
very, very good. And I do have a recipe that I distribute I'll
put in the next newsletter. So the so the chili guys are the
competitors that mostly one guy from Texas, who was also a
columnist was pissed about this. He demanded that they have the
judging have a People's Choice Award because he believed that
people were over at his booth telling him what a great chili
he made and says he was Texas. He knew a chili was an Iowan
from
Adam Curry: California. The judges, of course, were stupid
and didn't know what they were talking about. Yeah,
John C. Dvorak: so so the next year, they had the professional
judges and they had the People's Choice Awards. And everybody who
got into the event, they had three coins and they could go
around tasting chili and drop a coin to the buckets. So I hired
two models that were showgirls to Joel
Adam Curry: Wayman, you back up for a second. So you're in
Vegas, you're like, I'm going to win this. Do you then go to a
Vegas theater? Or do you go to a strip club to find these guys?
Did you find the girls
John C. Dvorak: modeling agencies?
Adam Curry: If you call the modeling agency? Yeah. Okay.
John C. Dvorak: So I hired two gorgeous six foot showgirls, and
had them in show girl regalia. They were pretty tight. I also
had an and the joke of it, of course at the very end, but
anyway, so I had to two girls at the booth and they were also
greeting when people came in, says, oh, you should vote for
divorce. You should throw all your coins into DeVore X pot and
so they just, you know, sweet talk people into voting for my
chili for people's choice award, right which, of course I won.
And I had the two girls ARM and ARM escort me up the steps to
accept the award. I am
Adam Curry: googling now. Is there any evidence of this? Are
there any pictures of you and showgirls?
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, a lot of people talk it was a little buzz
it was a buzz about about tell you this the guy from Texas and
the other people know who even know I'm talking about. The guy
from Texas was just livid. Because it was his idea of one
that year. That's the joke that Chili's, they had changed the
judging a little bit. And I realized when I tasted all the
chilies that had won by the professional judges that I did
not amp up the ancho flavor because apparently whoever these
judges, they just love the flavor of ancho which is a
certain chili that has a very distinct chili, but I won the
People's Choice Award that's quite feel about these things.
Okay, well, then I
Adam Curry: have an idea instead of getting all these scripts
running next time, why don't we just hire two girls and we'll
have them you know, we'll set up a sequence where for every vote
every time you vote and you have to send us your proof of voting
and you can go back every single day you will for every 1000
votes or whatever it is they'll take off a piece of clothing and
we'll post the picture
John C. Dvorak: Hey, that compared to bots, that idea is
not going to get it get the job done. I like it I don't know.
We'll come in from both sides and come up with the bots that
come in with the girls can't lose
Adam Curry: will come on with the bots will come in with the
girls we're gonna rock it real credits is what we give away on
this program. So Associate Executive Producer and executive
producer you can put it on your IMDB in your email signature on
your resume and unlike the fake phonies in Hollywood will
actually vouch for you if someone wants to know if you
were actually were a producer on a real show and I think that
this qualifies as one all of you other slaves out there please go
propagate it is this. We go out yet people in the mouth
world stay with me now. Shut up. And I did want to say a big in
the morning to brand new human resource and Gitmo nation. Her
name is Wednesday, Kane. Born as 7:07pm Last night just in time
to catch Sunday show. She's a month early but she couldn't
wait to get out there and hit people in the mouth.
John C. Dvorak: She was born on Saturday named Wednesday Yeah.
Adam Curry: I know I love it. It's awesome.
John C. Dvorak: Worry name Wednesday, Wednesday. I don't
know. My parents were hippies so let's play with Joe so Canada's
having a big Did you know we lost a couple of Canadian
listeners over the last few days I saw one yeah once tweeted me
saying you suck. I hate your show. Now. What did we do? You
never say did you can't tell what Twitter because they don't
have enough time to express themselves.
Adam Curry: Oh, I ran out of characters. Sorry. We suck we
did. So
John C. Dvorak: I clicked on him and I found He's a Canadian guy.
And so I said oh, what because then I immediately banned him.
And
Adam Curry: this is a policy John. When people say you suck,
you just block him? Is that what you
John C. Dvorak: do? Because I don't use Twitter for that kind
of thing. I use my email.
Adam Curry: So you block them there too. You block everything
and everybody
John C. Dvorak: I don't need it. I already know I suck. So I just
redundant. You will obey you will obey you will obey.
Adam Curry: Hey, big up to get my nation that was Iceland. What
is good my nation volcano.
John C. Dvorak: That's what it is glacier. How
Adam Curry: about glacier, no, the BS, volcanoes. Volcanoes. So
big up to the people of Gitmo nation volcano, who yesterday
had a referendum vote. Now if you'll recall, they had the
whole country melted down because Iceland bank ski or
something like that. had lent all this had the savings
accounts for citizens of Gitmo nation east the United Kingdom
and get my get my nation lowlands, which of course was a
total scam. And people had these internet savings accounts with
really high interest. Yeah, like, you know, hello, if it's
too good to be true, it sounds too good to be true. It probably
is to the bank man fell apart. And then what the International
Banksters said is, well, listen, slaves there. In Iceland, you're
gonna have to pay it back. It'll just have to have austerity
measures and all kinds of you'll have to pay it back. And they
went, we don't think so. And so then they brought in some new
shills of the government and everyone's too afraid to sign
off on it because they know if anyone in government would say,
All right, let the human resources work for 30 years to
pay it back. That will get killed. So that They were too
chickenshit to do it, excuse the language. So they held a
referendum and Big ups to the, to the human resources there.
They all they voted no, like, No, we're not gonna pay that
back. Screw you. And now of course, everyone's freaking out.
So because the governments of the Netherlands and the United
Kingdom already paid back the money to the people who invested
with
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, this is like, this is like getting you
know, to me, this is like those scams that took place some years
back during the modem era, where you would call up a website,
because this way you did it directly, and it would it would
be a scam, and it would redirect a call to Romania, which is a
per minute call of $100.
Adam Curry: You get a huge phone, you
John C. Dvorak: get a huge bill for $30,000. And then the phone
company says hey, there's nothing we can do about an
international tariffs. It's an agreement, we can't do anything
about it. So you're basically they're all part and parcel of a
scam to take your money. And it's like, you know, when it's
bull crap, is it illegal? The whole thing was illegal. It was
it was it was, it's unconscionable that they would
still try to well, let's see, we can jerk them around some more.
Adam Curry: I'm glad they did. Well, of course, just
John C. Dvorak: say no. You
Adam Curry: will recall that when this thing first came down,
what was the first thing that Gitmo nation east? Gordon Brown
at the time? What did he say? He remember, as I recall, he said
they were a party they were terrorist. Don't you remember
that? He called me he said they're terrorists and therefore
they have to be locked out of everything. You can't do trade
with them. Invoking the terrorism law. That's the first
thing he did he called Iceland a terrorist state. Now that was
his way of of kicking their ass
John C. Dvorak: temporary the problem that we have with this
whole terrorism crap there
Adam Curry: is as terrorises world. Fair isn't. Yeah, yeah.
So it could just
John C. Dvorak: find a way here and there to show suggest, and I
think this is a good name, which would be get mon nation Puffin.
Since Puffin, yeah, but if you go to Iceland on Have you ever
been there but all they need is Puffin. They have Puffin burgers
and they have roast Puffin and then there's Puffin steaks and
there's
Adam Curry: All right, let's have a referendum, shall we?
Fried Puffin?
John C. Dvorak: What is Puffin? Puffin is a cutest look it up.
Look it up in the book of knowledge. Puffin is the cutest
bird in the world. But it's like, it's like the pigeon of
Iceland.
Adam Curry: I'm not gonna eat a puffin.
John C. Dvorak: It doesn't beautiful. It's a beautiful
bird. I don't want to grab them and they choke them. They choke
them, and then they rip it. So they choke the Puffin. And then
they they grind him in the beat.
Adam Curry: These guys are terrorists. Wait a minute, we
can't just like kill the Puffin humanely. You have to choke him?
John C. Dvorak: Well, I didn't know that. Hey, John. Hey, John.
Hey, John. After the show, I'm gonna go choke the puffing. Go
choke the pump at the pump and on your own time
Adam Curry: to get one nation choke the Puffin. Change the BS
filter, we have a new name.
John C. Dvorak: But I was the sole thing is kind of
interesting. But it reminds me of when I used to be a factory
worker during my college days. And I realized at this point,
and I think this is true, even though I believe the two of us
are clean and sober to say the least. Generally, and but there
Well, I was working this this International Harvester for a
while and I worked one whole summer and I was working, I
could never keep up with the demands of the simple job of
there was a there's a sub assembly that I was responsible
for making. And I had to make something as in submarine or a
sub assembly site. This was part of the brake system. And it was
like a little there was a device that had a couple of hoses on
it. And they had to put a thing here and a thing there you had
to drill out this to put a cap I it's about a nine step process.
And I had to make these things all day. That's when I that's
the point at which I learned that if you want to work in
factories in the United States, and I always advise this to
people or factories anywhere learn to become either a
receiving clerk or an inspector inspector and the inspectors the
best job there is and it doesn't take much and it's just a it's a
good job. Anyway, while I'm doing this thing no one wasn't
hired. Turns out that later turns out there was a big drug
bust in both the General Motors plant and also at the
International Harvester place where the these guys were strung
out on amphetamines. And that's the old and because I was never
I could never keep up with it with the quota. The guy was
always being traded. Yeah, why behind your 1000s of units that
you're not done. That's why you got to take the cokes so these
guys were all it was methamphetamines, the beans. And
so these guys What did you call them? Beans, beans
Adam Curry: and green beans man Benny. So
John C. Dvorak: they used apparently these guys are down
in these things all day. They were just completely wasted on
drugs and they could get this they could get their production
numbers up. And I think that this is again if we look at it.
They always say the United States is laced with cocaine.
and all kinds of other performance enhancing drugs.
Because there's so many demands on the workers. That's why our
productivity so high, but at the same time, let's face reality
about this stuff. This is the way it is. legalized drugs for
God's sake. All right, yeah, done.
Adam Curry: Right. Cool. I should try some of that. Why?
I've never I've never done coke in my life ever.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, well, yeah, I would avoid it. If I as
your personality might be fine. I would avoid having done E. I
Adam Curry: haven't done coke I weed. That's the only thing I've
ever had. I think in college, I snorted a diet pill. But it is
very troubling. That this is going on. And I think we're
gonna see more and more of this. This is all just oh, there's a
John C. Dvorak: lot of stuff going on all around the place. I
mean, one of the things, riots everywhere that we're not that
are not getting reported. In fact, when they're getting
reported by their own people, I have a clip from Van cat. About
which is just so bogus, because I mean, there's riots all over
France. And the reasons are pretty obvious to everybody who
just do that. Ask people whether writing would play this French
or I think that this is not the neither unreported situation in
the US. So we
Adam Curry: played a clip I think two weeks ago, when this
all started,
Unknown: they pulled drivers from their cars and stole the
vehicles and they burned down a school and Youth Center. Dozens
of young men rioted in a troubled district in northern
France this week. The police department in a mule says at
least 16 officers were injured after rioters lob stones at
them. But about 100 young men were involved it wasn't clear
what exactly caused the unrest French Prime Ministers or mark
gay Hall has promised to deal with troublemakers with a from
hand.
John C. Dvorak: It was it was a troubled neighborhood you name
where the immigrants what caused a disturbance? No. Branch
reaction to Oh, blonde. Yeah, being full of crap if it would
if if the American mentality wasn't so passive. And if we
were like the French, this would have happened within the first
year of Obama's administration when he didn't close get Monix
didn't immediately end the war and all the other things he
promised take that to the bank. And then doing nothing and then
going off and killing Americans without due process. We'd be
writing but we don't take the French right at the drop of a
hat when somebody lies to them like Oh, Lon did. Yep. That's
all it is. And all we don't know what's causing this unrest. So
how long
Adam Curry: do you think this will last before it happens
here? Do you think we'll ever get any unrest here in the
United States of Gitmo,
John C. Dvorak: we had a lot of this president in the new years
leading up to the 1970 economic downturn that that lasted a
decade. And a lot of it was triggered by the Vietnam War,
because people were, you know, you had a draft and so people
were bitching about that. And then there was the Watts riots,
which was amazingly huge, and the Detroit riots, which but
these are black on black riots, those were and then you have the
student riots, there's lots of rioting that used to take place
and used all been deconstructed by the government locked down.
And there's been methodologies put in place that prove that if
pacified the whole country, celebrity worship and all the
rest of it's very complex, very well done, there is no chance.
There'll be something I'll break out once in a while. But then
the propaganda machine will come out like you'd like they've done
with these vets, they're picking up and get it everybody a bug in
everyone's mind to think a certain way. Oh, these are
terrible people. And they're, you know, they're anti American,
they're terrorists. I mean, we got the whole thing set up. So
you can't do a thing. We're locked down. And the terrorism
thing is part of it. So is the TSA. I do need to
Adam Curry: bring you some more reports from this dinner because
there were some other interesting things we discussed,
particularly with Professor Pennebaker, who I was, you know,
you can kind of eased into it kind of let him know that I had
read his book. And I said, you know, this performance that was
really quite, quite fantastic. And he's just launched into it.
He told everything couldn't no one knew what I was talking
about, except Mickey. And then so he explains performative VHS.
And for those who don't know, it's where typically a
politician will say things like, let me be clear. And then
whatever he says after that doesn't matter, because he
already told the truth, because he just wanted to be clear,
didn't want to tell you the truth. He was
John C. Dvorak: just you wanted to be clear. My favorite while I
was thinking about this the other day, and I realized the
Kennedys had had a distinct one that caught on for a while, and
then it kind of dropped off and it's Ted Kennedy use it, but
John Kennedy used to say it all the time. And it was this. Let
me say this, about that. That's the best one right. I think
that's the best one. Say this about that. Yeah, that's a good
way to say this, about that. But what you're gonna say next is
like could be anything. Well, here's
Adam Curry: I'll just give an example a recent one from Steven
Barbara the Canadian is
Unknown: and the prime minister is also defending his actions
following new revelations in the Senate expenses scandal. Here's
what he had to say when asked about the payment between his
former Chief of Staff Nigel Wright and conservative Senator
Mike Duffy. First of all, let me be very clear on this I've been
clear clear repeatedly I
Adam Curry: double whammy. I've been clear repeatedly let me be
clear about this learned of this on May the 15th. I learned of
this May that it just doesn't stop. It's all performances I
learned of this I made this information available to the
public, the people of Canada. So that's basically what it is. And
then later, I forget who it was one of our producers said the
presidential oath is essentially the biggest performative because
it says I hear do by solemnly swear that to the best of my
ability, like okay, thanks. Good night, go home. Doesn't matter
what you say, after that. Pennebaker. I thought he was
going to shit himself. He's like, Oh, my God, I never
thought of that one. So now I'm on the inside right now. I'm
like, Hey, this is good. Tell me some more. He's, and he's, so I
want to get into his research, which hasn't been published yet.
And he has computer programs, and he does a lot with pronouns.
So he has computer programs that calculate the use of certain
words, but it's the words like I am we are, that they're they
these types of things. And he has several proven theorems that
that he can point to. And the first thing he told me about
was, as you can also see if, if a right if a writer was male, or
female. And he's done some very interesting studies, to see how
good playwrights were at writing male or female characters, etc.
And just to give you an example, all of the female characters in
Quentin Tarantino movies are extremely written as extreme
males. So are those of Shakespeare. And he has studied
all the American presidents and he said about Barack Obama, he
said, It's unbelievable that every single American president
is 100% Macho male, Barack Obama could not be more female. He
says, it's like a woman is writing his stuff. I said,
Valerie Jarrett, he didn't get it. But no, but he says, the
way, the show the way he the way the President talks speaks, it's
all very soft. A little wishy washy says it but he's doing it
with scientific with, with word counts. And yeah, there
John C. Dvorak: are a lot of there's actually a bunch of
computer programs that attempt to do this, and you can run,
I've run professional writers, copy through a bunch of these
systems. And you can find, you can, you can always spot a
female writer of, but you can, you can see them trending to
female. Most professional writers are all trained
similarly, so that the female and this come from a
professional professionals have a professional style that
they've developed from training and editing. And they tend to be
kind of mostly, if not all male, even if they're women, and
there's like normal people that just right away, they're just
writing naturally. They I think it's easier with them. I think
it's harder with professionals, he
Adam Curry: Well, of course, if a professional is trying to
write, you know, a great writer can write a woman's character
the way a woman thinks, you know, I think that that would be
the hallmark of a great writer.
John C. Dvorak: I don't think so. I don't think that's the
hallmark of a great writer being able to become a woman.
Adam Curry: No. Okay, you're right.
John C. Dvorak: I'm not even sure you're right. Many great
writers have ever accomplished what you just said, Well, he
Adam Curry: has done this exact study. And what great writers
have done it? Well, I don't I don't have that information.
Handy. But if you look at it doesn't. I would say that it's
it may be challenging to write like a woman if you don't know
what you're doing to actually write from a female's
perspective and to end for it to come out in the computer
analysis as a woman but sometimes it may not be
necessary. Ergo Quentin Tarantino is characters, his
female characters are all extremely male, and his movies
seem to do fine. So it's just it's just the point that you can
distinguish between men and women in the writing in general.
Is that fair?
John C. Dvorak: I'd say it's it's partially true I think if
you want to make the argument I'm not gonna argue against it
but it's still you know, it's what his research shows and his
roster he's probably coming up with that but I don't know if
he's studying just professionals you study No, no, no,
Adam Curry: no, no, no, not at all. No, no, in fact far from
it. And the reason why he does this is is the ultimate reason
is to see that if you he's of all about writing certain things
if you had traumatic experiences and you can actually heal
yourself so his this is all just side research, which by the way
is now going to Bing This is very interesting, because
that's, these guys all got consulting gigs. It's very
interesting. So Bing, looks like the search engine is going to be
looking at some some fun things. Now The way things are written
but of course you know these guys are vibing on Twitter and
and all this these incredible datasets that we have and what
he's done is he said if you go and look at the pronouns
particularly the use of AI words that every single president has
used before warfare in speeches etc you can see that right
before they are about to attack or do something their use of AI
goes down significantly so George W with Iraq senior with
the with the first Gulf War Nixon I mean that he's gone back
I studied that and and I rolled How about Obama says no, we
haven't really done that research so we have to
John C. Dvorak: admit she's going to find that little
country Miss there because if you remember, we've spotted this
when the when they got Bin Laden, it was I he's a very I or
rarely,
Adam Curry: or for and this is where I'm going. It didn't
actually happen. No intention. It's all it's nice. Yeah, that's
John C. Dvorak: actually a good one. Yeah, that's
Adam Curry: the way I see it. Um, so there was this is well,
let me see if I can first let me do second half of the show stuff
because people requesting it and they feel that I'm lacking a
little bit.
John C. Dvorak: Are you gonna talk Wait, wait, let me can I
get kicked make a wild guess. You can talk about the aliens
that Obama.
Adam Curry: That was pretty funny. He was a shapeshifter.
Yeah, shapeshifter. Yeah. That was a couple of weeks ago. Now.
Then we know, we know. He's got shapeshifters What are we gonna
do sit here in town,
John C. Dvorak: shapeshifter, what? Michelle Obama?
Adam Curry: Possibly, possibly.
John C. Dvorak: No, I mean, we've gone that diet.
Adam Curry: Now we know that they're shapeshifters we know
that they employ them. This is not this is not a new
John C. Dvorak: year we're gonna do.
Adam Curry: This is so funny. So you know, just to prove my point
that Twitter, you know, gay, Andy Carvin. Hello, and the ad
and a carbon. And I pay attention to this dude,
Unknown: earlier this year 500 Or so Twitter's received tweets
from someone with the handle at James M. Titus, who posed one of
several generic questions. How long do you want to live to, for
example? Or do you have any pets? At James M. Titus was
cheerful and enthusiastic. Kind of like those people who comment
on the weather, and then laugh heartily, perhaps because of
that good nature, or perhaps because of his inquiring spirit
and interest in others. At James M. Titus was able to strike up a
fair number of continuing conversations. Only thing is,
there is no James M. Titus, he or it is a bot, a software
program designed to engage actual humans and social
networks. He grew out of a contest.
Adam Curry: Okay, so this is a bot. Right? Which I think a lot
of these things are. And if they're not bots, and they're,
you know, they're systems that are controlled by one person who
controls multiple personalities. Yeah, that's the best way to do
it. Yeah.
John C. Dvorak: Where do you think this bot was created?
John? Probably Washington DC someplace.
Adam Curry: Oh, no, no, no, no new new revised
Unknown: a social bot a contest staged by a group of techies
calling themselves the web ecology project. Tim Wong is the
director of the web ecology project. He joins us from
Berkeley, California.
John C. Dvorak: I said perfectly you did. I didn't
Adam Curry: hear you say that, of course is spook Central is
Berkeley. It's Pennsylvania and it's Arlington. This
John C. Dvorak: week, people would new listeners of the show,
we've determined based on the ling-ling thing and that was
captured outside of Iran, Berkeley has become some sort of
a training ground especially that school of journalism for
the for various CIA operatives.
Adam Curry: Let me now I have something that'll just be so
much fun to listen to. As you know, I'm always out there
looking for what's going on in the world of choo choo trains on
the board trains planes now, so you know, I subscribe to the RSS
feed of the US high speed rail Association, who have their own
little website website. Now this of course, is the shill
organization that is trying to steal all this money to do all
this crazy crap for trains that we don't need, which will only
benefit Berkshire Hathaway and other people who actually Bill
Gates apparently owns a large chunk of the railroad as well as
some I don't know which freight outfit he owns.
John C. Dvorak: Cx CTA. X maybe CSX. Yes, excellent.
Adam Curry: So they they've got this clip homepage. And Andy
Coons, who he looks exactly the way his name sounds and the cool
Owens is on Fox Business. I think what the Varney show was
at Fox Business.
John C. Dvorak: Maybe Stuart varney? Maybe Yeah, no. And so
they have
Adam Curry: this listed as Andy coons promoting high speed rail
on like, Okay, this will be a puff piece, but it's the biggest
fail in the world. And I can't believe that these guys are so
brazen, they actually put this on their website, like it's a
good score for high speed rail, because I have to say, the
Stuart Varney guy, who's a Brit, totally nails the guy. And it's
just one hilarious moment after another. And you can hear the
entire elitist agenda from the get go and be here.
Unknown: Here's where I'm coming from. You cannot build a high
speed rail system in the United States, it will take you
decades, if not a half century. And that delay adds to the cost
making it wildly over expensive. And you say,
Well, it took us 40 years to build our interstate highway
system. It's a big infrastructure project. It's the
21st century we need to do it and we need to get going on it.
Adam Curry: We need to do it. We just need to do it shut up. We
need to do we got to get going on it. This is his This isn't
how he starts off. I'm like this will be interesting believe
John C. Dvorak: they keep up on it. I mean, the fact that this
high speed rail
Adam Curry: listen to Marty, because he basically he's, he
has all of our hands. No, he's very good. He has all of our
talking points. So
Unknown: you agree with me that you can't build it within a
period of decades, literally, I presume you also agree with me
that the longer the delay, the greater the expense, so
therefore, we cannot afford it.
Or we have to build it. I mean, I don't know what else we're
gonna have for transportation in 20 years from now. Well, what do
Adam Curry: you mean, this is this is already a done deal. We
have to build it. Yeah, we have to build it. Yeah, I got the
president. I got Oh, Biden. I got George W. Obama, everyone's
on board. What are you talking about? We have to build it?
What's your problem? varn. What's wrong with what? I'm
sorry.
Unknown: They're dependent on oil that's spiraling out of
control and price.
So your position depends entirely on the ever rising cost
of fuel, which we use, we cannot afford. But we can afford to
build a wildly expensive high speed rail system that will take
decades to put in place. So this guy
Adam Curry: is actually saying it's because of the spiraling
cost of oil that we have to build trains, which apparently
run on water magic. Yeah. Total magnetic magic or something like
that. Really, it's actually
Unknown: would cost the entire national system would cost about
one quarter of what we spent on the interstate highway system.
So it's actually not wildly expensive. It's a big
infrastructure project covering 17,000 miles, of course, is
going to be expensive. Anything we do that size is going to be
expensive.
Okay, do I have to pay for it? There was a proposal to put a
high speed rail system in place in Florida, the government of
Florida said, No, we're not going to do it. Because we can't
afford for it afford it and we don't want to pay for it. And
you say,
Well, if we want a system we have to pay for we have to pay
for airports, we have to pay for roads. I mean, we're paying for
all that we need to do this. And this is how we're going to move
the nation into the 21st century.
Adam Curry: Can you believe that? This? This is the guy
who's the CEO. It's just the best they can do they know and
they have this on the website like it's do a better job
getting your sleep with one eyebrow tied behind your back.
This is crazy. We have to pay for it. Of course we have to pay
for it.
Unknown: Is there no cost which is too expensive?
I don't see that. It's too expensive. I mean, when you
figure out the amount of mobility you get per dollar
spent, it's a much greater bargain then roads or airports
combined,
whatever. How many billions of dollars was it going to the
first estimate to go from Tampa St. Pete to Orlando? How many
billions first estimate
and the final estimate was about 2.9 billion. So now
Adam Curry: it gets very interesting because now Varney
starts to trap him. And the guy actually falls right into the
trap which really explains why this high speed rail will never
get built in our lifetime and it'll be too expensive. If they
really continue down this road. He does a good job of trapping
the guy $2.9
Unknown: billion but just that relatively short stretch, right
but we spent four times that much on AI for the Interstate
between those that little short stretch
Yeah, but it's in place we've got it while we spent the money.
Adam Curry: We spend the money because it's been the money
that's been
Unknown: how long would it take to build Tampa St. Pete to fly
to Orlando
a decade away about two to three years. No,
you cannot be serious you absolutely boy in Florida will
jump on this and say not across my land. You haven't compensated
me enough.
Adam Curry: It's so here's where he traps
Unknown: not anyone's land. It's down the interstate. That was
the easiest system again. As it was the interstate of the
highway, I forgot
to interrupt some lizard or some tortoise or some bird that flies
overhead.
It's already it's already a transportation corridor. So that
was an easy setup that was easiest one
Adam Curry: in America. See what an idiot the guy is. He's
actually tilting his hand by saying, Well, this is why we
started off with the easy ones because we can show some wins
within two years. And the rest will take 100 years to build
because everyone's gonna like try and stop it. I think
Barney's genius in this room did a good job. Yeah,
John C. Dvorak: Bernie's pretty good. I've seen him a couple of
times. They're, they're grooming him to perhaps get a fox news
show really. He's in Fox Business and they bring him over
once in a while, you know, they got him into peloton, or they
kind of queued up because he got the Glenn Beck spot opening. And
they're, they're rearranging other people there, they're
gonna move on.
Adam Curry: And just let me just give you the final blow because
he really nails the guy at
Unknown: the end to at a $91 billion worth. So
Adam Curry: he's talking about China, you know, like $291
billion in the hole. This is what you want for the United
States. So
Unknown: debt for the Chinese high speed rail system, one
Chinese Professor describes it as bit worse than the subprime
crash is coming to China because of this.
Well, I don't know. I mean, we're spending five times that
on a war that we're not even getting anything. We're not
getting a rail system, we're not getting, you know, we're not
getting a strong rotation system out of that. I'm sorry, I've
wasted
so much time in this interview. That's where you're coming from.
You're saying that because we spent what a trillion dollars in
Iraq, that we're spending that to secure the oil, we should be
spending that on high speed rail? Is that your argument?
What I'm saying is is that we have gone into debt to do a war,
which we're not gonna get any benefit of China's going into
debt to build
Adam Curry: nails into the wall. But go ahead, go go look at the
US high speed rail Association. It's on their homepage and it
says there
John C. Dvorak: what are they thinking Andy Koons promotes
high speed rail on Fox Good job, Andy.
Adam Curry: There'll be a little something extra in your paycheck
today.
John C. Dvorak: Next time put him on MSNBC with a play the gap
Adam Curry: really is like how stupid can you get to put them
on with this guy? I thought it was and then
John C. Dvorak: show it and then be paying money. You know, maybe
you should get take this off the can you take it out of the
archives?
Adam Curry: I've been doing a DC DMCA request takedown from
Google now instead instead. What is this the brilliant Hill and
Knowlton? I mean, they did they change this?
John C. Dvorak: I'll tell you what it is. You know what?
Please? Oh, the Hill and Knowlton is still doing it. But
here's what happens is classic public and anyone out there runs
a corporation that uses these agencies will say yep, the var x
right. They start you off with the heavy hitters and the big
fees every month and then very slowly. You start bringing in
the interns. Yeah, you
Adam Curry: get the interns on the job. No, I
John C. Dvorak: think Dorothy Dorothy, she's new but she's
she's really talented. She just came out of Cornell and she
chose to be able to handle it. No problem. Cornell Bill stays
the same bonehead.
Adam Curry: You're so right. It's so right. They first they
got the guys who did the pitch come in. And they roll out for
probably on an account like this, they probably do six
months. Maybe a little longer
John C. Dvorak: at a probably a million a month.
Adam Curry: At least. And that's and that's excluding costs and
you know, the, you know, like travel and hookers and stuff.
Fantastic. Just I love it. Great job. So I don't know where Andy
Koons came from. But he's not doing a very good job. He's kind
of making our argument for us. I really appreciate it.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, well, we don't make the argument that
much anymore. I think we'd beat it to death. It's so obvious,
but it's kind of now it's just falling apart on its own
typical.
Adam Curry: I like that line. resume normal activity citizen.
Well, they're not citizens. They didn't say that. And
John C. Dvorak: that cool. Yeah, that's the future ladies and
gentlemen. All right.
Adam Curry: aliens.curry.com. An actual picture of an alien as a
Portuguese website. Aliens. Are you going there?
John C. Dvorak: I'm just writing down something for the no go
before the chat room does. You'll
Adam Curry: lose out aliens not curry.com. Go Go. Go
John C. Dvorak: go go. Yeah, and I'm getting him to confess they
can get Hurry
Adam Curry: up. You're gonna lose out. You'll never get it.
John C. Dvorak: That guy hit it. I'm hitting it. There it is. I
got it. I got it just in time. This guy's butt.
Adam Curry: And Angular Merkel. They took these pictures on a
vacation How awesome is
John C. Dvorak: that? That's pretty awesome.
Adam Curry: And she's angry. Because that's only for the
celebrating. She says you shouldn't be doing that to
politicians. Yeah, they got her butt.
John C. Dvorak: Butt hanging out. At
Adam Curry: shapeshifting
John C. Dvorak: like you guys get here's the English version
of the cover of her white bathrobe Merkel took off her
swimwear calmly and expose her saggy and fat buttocks. Oops.
Awesome, right? Very good. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Well, in Australia, and we thought it was bad with
the BBC.
Unknown: I'd actually inquiry into child sex abuse as opened
in Australia, with more than 5000 people expected to testify
about abuse in places like churches, sports clubs,
orphanages, and detention centers.
Adam Curry: What? Why was this not front page news everywhere?
5000 people are going to testify. Oh, no, I'm sorry. It's
much more
Unknown: Prime Minister Julia Gillard warned Australians
there'll be confronted with some very uncomfortable truths. She
said the Royal Commission now underway is an important moral
moment for Australia. Well, let's go live to the BBC is Nick
Bryan in Sydney? Nick, this doesn't go away. It gets worse.
Is Australia prepared for what's about to heated on this issue?
Well, according to some child sexual abuse experts that I've
been listening to this afternoon know, you mentioned the figure
5000 people expected to testify before this public inquiry that
called Royal commissions here. But Child child sex abuse
experts saying the number could be nearer to 100,000 people.
Adam Curry: 100,000 people, John, what is going on there in
Australia?
John C. Dvorak: Apparently a lot of the bugger
Adam Curry: frightening man. That is That's outrageous.
John C. Dvorak: 100 1000s You see how that shakes out. But
sports clubs, everything. It sounds like everything except
the grocery store has the
Unknown: Royal Commission goes around the country hearing
evidence. It's so that many more people might come, which is one
of the reasons why the head of the commission has said that
they're not going to be able to produce the report that has been
asked of them by the Australian government by the deadline. And
that's the end of 2015. So
Adam Curry: they can't even write up all the cases for the
next two years. That's how rampant it is. We got to chop
some heads off people.
Unknown: This is going to be such a difficult process. They
want to hear from so many people. And they want to give
them the time to tell their stories that it's going to take
a lot longer than that.
Now, what is now emerging about the moral compass of Australia.
Adam Curry: It's broken. It's it's spinning like Gilligan's
Island, like the minnow
Unknown: on so many issues like this is huge.
That's a big question. I mean, what the what led to this
inquiry being set up in the first place last November was
allegations directed against the Roman Catholic Church. So there
have been sealed evidence of pedophile priests. And that
followed many years of allegations against the Catholic
Church and did the last pope when he made a visit to
Australia had to apologize to victims of child sex abuse. But
the fear is Nick, the problem goes much wider than that.
There's been child sex abuse in other institutions, boarding
schools, orphanages, orphanages, detention centers, sports and
recreational clubs. So that's why there's wide ranging Royal
Commission equestrian
Adam Curry: facilities.
John C. Dvorak: Here's the thing, you know, maybe the Roman
Catholic church thing in all areas was just a tip of the
iceberg or a distraction or a lightning rod. Because as we saw
in Pennsylvania at Penn State, with that guy, there was no
church related anything. It was just a bunch of, you know, kids
learning how to play football and and having to deal with this
pervert. And then it turns out, and there was a lot of, you
know, there's a lot of evidence that there was numerous people
involved in the rest of the camp, a couple of them. And then
as possible, the judicial system, as you pointed out in
Holland and elsewhere, is got this going on. Maybe the whole
Catholic thing is just a lightning rod to keep the real
picture which is apparently in Australia. This is not really
too many Catholics are that I know of. It's an Anglican
country, as far as I can tell. It blew by rather quickly and
they said wait a minute, it's it's everywhere we got 100,000
people that are going to testify is maybe it's just a cultural
thing. It's completely out of control. Well,
Adam Curry: I think that it's probably the people who are
supposed to protect the children, you know, Child
Protective Services, I would say against
John C. Dvorak: child protective services by there was a really
bunch of bad actors and especially in your state, or the
notorious really, I didn't know that. Oh, yeah. really access to
Texas and Child Protective Services is like a nasty
operation
Adam Curry: out doesn't look into it. Hey guys, I hear you
guys suck. Can I come and talk to you give me something great
before we get out of here. I mean that sucks. I'm sorry.
John C. Dvorak: Let's play. Here's an interesting play
Burston there's so they had this as se cup as woman who's on
MSNBC now
Adam Curry: she's kind of like the token right wing token right
winger,
John C. Dvorak: and she was on C span interviewing some
millennial kid who was just could not stop talking about
himself and what he thinks the future is for millennials and,
and it was pretty stupid, but play the first and cannot stop
talking clip to when I was
Unknown: growing up in the midst of what's essentially been a 10
year war war on terror. How has that shaped the millennial
viewpoint,
Adam Curry: it's made this generation realize that we're
part of an interdependent global world. This is really the first
global generation of the rest of the world being deeply related
to us, if you may have been able to, in some ways live under a
rock in previous generations and be disconnected from the rest of
the world and think about, you know, America only or your
country only. But I think we recognize that and I think
John C. Dvorak: it's bull crap. I mean, World War Two was, and
in fact, most of this globalization stuff began before
World War One, which was another thing that made us real, he's
full of shit.
Adam Curry: It was kind of okay. Okay, and I just wanted to have
a little effect. I like it. We don't use it enough. Wow. All
right. Ramsey, Kane, thank you very much for putting together
this clip show for episode 610. We'll be back live streaming on

John C. Dvorak: I went to Port Angeles. Oh, nice. Oh,

John C. Dvorak: Yes. Hey. Oh. Older. Yeah. Celebrating oak.
Adam Curry: Yes. It's been that long. You're celebrating oak.
