Adam curry Jhansi Devora October
1 2023 This Year Award winning
chemo nation media assassination
episode 1595. This is no agenda
favoring favelas and
broadcasting live from the heart
of Texas Hill Country here in
FEMA Region number six. In the
morning, everybody. I'm I'm
sorry,
John C Dvorak: Ken from Northern
Silicon Valley. We're Canada's
not requiring podcasters to
register yet. I'm Justin
Adam Curry: Hill. Well, I didn't
expect this to be the first item
on the menu. But I have I have
some thoughts about this.
John C Dvorak: Well, as you as
everyone knows, yes, for the
last 20 years, yes, I've been
predicting this, predicting what
exactly that we are going to
eventually have to register as
podcasters. Well,
Adam Curry: but we already have
a podcast license, so we're kind
of good to go.
John C Dvorak: Well, that was
that's our hope. The actually
the good just grandfather, our
podcast licensees in that would
be easily
Adam Curry: easily. So the idea
is that now Canada already had a
candidate by the way, I'm not
against the basic premise of if
you have a publicly funded while
it's raining i crazier if you
have publicly funded media,
which Canada does they also have
commercial radio, but let's just
publicly funded media. And then
they
John C Dvorak: put bubbles, they
funded their newspapers.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, that's,
that's a different story, put
that off to the side, stick a
pin in it. And France does this.
And I think the UK had some
regulation at some point, that
if you're playing music as an
example, you need to play a
certain amount of national
product. And if it's Public
Media, I'm not necessarily
against that. But that somehow
morphed into the online, what do
they call this the CRC CRTC,
which is the Canadian regulator.
They had the online streaming
services, regulation. And to me,
that still is for music and not
necessarily for Canadian news or
anything like that. There's
really, although we're starting
it now with podcasting 2.0,
there's really not a lot of
music and podcasting. So now
they say, Well, yeah, we need
to, we were probably going to
have to have podcast companies
that offer audio or video
content and generate more than
$10 million in annual revenues
to also register. And so that's
kind of being turned into Oh,
it'll be podcast as well. So I
think there's a lot of people
jumping on this trying to make a
big noise and you know, so that
they pay attention to them.
Yeah, I'm a podcaster. Not him
over my dead body. Jordan
Peterson, that Jordan Peterson
he just might make $10 million.
I don't know. But this would be
more for literally an outfit
like like the daily wire even
though I doubt the day as an
American company have to
register in Canada. And that's
kind of the crazy thing about it
is like it's you have to be in
Canada, or do you have to have
do you have to talk to Canada if
you're talking about Canada and
what do they want to do with
this? It makes no sense. Makes
no sense. Hello, hello? Yeah,
no, but I think you're right
eventually there will be
registration I don't know if
that'll happen here. But Canada
Yeah, sure. Europe Absolutely. I
was in Houston yesterday
John C Dvorak: yes you went to
Houston
Adam Curry: I did I did for the
Spark Media Ignite conference. I
don't spark me it's it's a
podcast conference for God
casters I did the keynote
John C Dvorak: how many God
casters are there home man? This
Are you the podcaster and the
what podcasts are God casts you
put together put God God cast
God caster for God cast a good
podcast they surprised
Adam Curry: me with a lifetime
achievement award which I was
not expecting. Which is always
kind of weird. It's like this My
life is over now. I'm done.
Thanks for your ad you know, I
was like you know it feels like
oh man. I don't feel good about
John C Dvorak: like it's called
the pathetic End of Life Award
that they give out to people
that maybe could have won some
more awards this give you this
and you can die in peace
Adam Curry: Yeah, I guess that
was it. That was it there's
there's God casters have quite
you know the Focus on the Family
guys. They have millions of
listeners is unbelievable.
That's pretty pretty big. But
you know what you do? On here at
a god caster conference. You
don't people don't come up to
you and say, Hey man, how many
downloads you got? That you
don't hear? Not from a single
person. Where's
John C Dvorak: any of you heard
that anywhere?
Adam Curry: In the podcast
industrial complex. Oh, yeah. Oh
absolutely, man, how many
downloads you have for that
show? How is horrible? It's
John C Dvorak: already always
did you always end with the
Belch? No.
Adam Curry: No, this horrible
people are horrible. But
John C Dvorak: bless because
they know that anyone in the in
the in the god casting business
have relatively no doubt. It's
not that's not true.
Adam Curry: That's not true.
Yeah, I was surprised. I was
surprised to see that. The
audience size. You know, the big
was the audience as I said,
again, as I said, the Focus on
the Family podcast. Let's guys
have like 4 million listeners
John C Dvorak: I think people
our way,
Adam Curry: you know, they're
big no agenda, guys, they send
they talk about us all the time.
John C Dvorak: Well, that's
nice. I don't see it in today's
donations.
Adam Curry: Speaking of speaking
of donations, you know, I'm glad
that we that we at least do
donations, you see New York
Public Radio, they're going to
cut 12% of their workforce,
which first of all, it's
amazing. That W NYC how many how
many people? Do you think they
have full time for a public
radio station in New York? And
I'll I'll preface this by saying
when I worked at z 100 in New
York, the number one station the
market at the time in the in the
early 90s. I think that 25
people and that included Bubba
the love sponge who did the the
prize man. How many people do
you think New York Public Radio
WNYC implies
John C Dvorak: employs more than
I would have to is New York big.
Yeah. So I would say 25 341 340
Adam Curry: full time employees
John C Dvorak: they had to cut
10% Or what was it? Yes. And do
you know that? That's 30 people
that's the number people are
cutting or less than the total
number of people that you had at
that other station.
Adam Curry: So you have the
radio lab. You've heard the
radio lab podcast, radio you've
heard that show? Yeah. 22 people
work on that show alone 22 I
mean, this something went wrong
and radio anyway, the listen to
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Laugh all
at once you go to the public
coffers, you know.
Adam Curry: But it's not really
public coffers. I mean, it's,
it's they get very little from,
you know, they get from the big
foundations. That's where they
get their money. LaFawn TIF
John C Dvorak: foundation money,
same public coffers. Listen, the
New York Public Radio's
Adam Curry: president and CEO
His name is LePhone tan Oliver.
That's your problem right there.
You got a CEO named LaFontaine
Oliver. That's an expensive
operation. Where'd this guy come
from? The Ford Foundation sounds
expensive. Sounds very
expensive. He said in a memo to
employees now listen to this. So
where did they get their money
from again?
John C Dvorak: public coffers,
Adam Curry: in a memo sent to
employees that quote, a free
fall in the advertising market
had led to the decision to cut
staff.
John C Dvorak: This reminds me
that I was getting some clips
from it. I didn't do do this
clip. But I just want to mention
it because kind of part of this.
I'm been listening to NPR. Yeah.
And they had an ad for
Squarespace. That was clearly an
ad with a call to action. You
know, go get the code, whereas
bait they gave the website the
whole thing is completely out of
control with public
broadcasting.
Adam Curry: And we knew this in
2009. We were already
complaining about NPR selling
ads and they're not they're not
sponsored or brought to you by
that literally selling ads here
is and they had a downfall in
2009. If you recall, Okay,
moving on
Unknown: to money. How are NPR
is corporate underwriting
revenues holding up in the
recession? And what about
foundation grants? So this
Adam Curry: so there you go.
That's that was that was the
question. He was the lady who
was running all of NPR at the
time her answer
Unknown: to different stories.
Underwriting is underwriting is
is down it's down for everybody.
I mean, this is this is the this
is the area that is most down
for us is in is in sponsorship,
underwriting advertising, call
it whatever you want to call
Adam Curry: it, whatever you
want. advertise its advertising.
The same people who sell radio
ads for commercial ad.
commercial stations. Sell NPR
it's a farce. It's a farce. It's
a farce farce. I love the word
farce
John C Dvorak: because it's a
good word. Yeah, he just didn't
hear you say it much. It's
funny. It
Adam Curry: sounds so much like
fart you know, so you can say
force force force force anyway
so this is this is truly the
only
John C Dvorak: answer over 300
people working there doing what?
I know we have even if you had
20 people doing ad sales you
still have 280 people doing
what?
Adam Curry: I really don't know.
I really don't know I mean 22
People on the radio lab show and
this is insane well look
everyone when it's all over this
is all over Spotify spent a
billion dollars everyone got all
jacked up and then it was over.
It's over. It's done people he's
done. Anyway, the reason why I
brought up Houston is not to a
tout my lifetime achievement
award. But I got a lot of what
is it say? What
John C Dvorak: kind of an award
was it a big giant trophy? Was
it a big thing like a sumo
wrestler guys who was it a
little plaque? Or was it
something a glass thing?
Adam Curry: It's like a wrestler
belt? Yeah. It was glass. It's a
glass thing glass mount lasting
glass thing? You know, it looks
like like big was this glass
thing? I'd say about the size
about the size of a large hand
you know its size large hands.
Yes. Like a large hand like my
hand you know and that and that
mounted on a nice hands on a
piece of wood handsome piece of
wood? Yes.
John C Dvorak: Give it you know,
I've said this. I don't want to
interrupt your story. But I said
this before I'm gonna say it
again. And then I'm going to
maybe do something about it.
Okay, please. We should have the
no agenda podcasting awards.
Make something official. We're
the experts. Let's face it, when
it comes to what's good and
what's bad in the world of
podcasting. And we should do the
award I wouldn't award ceremony
and those little glass things
are cheap to make and
Adam Curry: didn't look cheap
and look nice. Look my car we
don't even even have to give the
people
John C Dvorak: anything.
Physical certificate will work.
It doesn't matter. Yeah. But it
fire up the printer. Printer.
But yeah, well, just beside the
point, the Alternative Media
Awards. Now the we bought media
dot award, we keep
Adam Curry: talking about this.
And we'll you know, we'll be
long gone. And people remember
those
John C Dvorak: things. So I
think we're I think this is the
upcoming year 2024 is the year
of the award. We're going to
we're going to do it. Do you
know how many talk and you know,
I've always said this? I don't
like the idea of talking to no
action. I hate it. Wow.
Adam Curry: said Mr. Action,
please. Well, there's a lot of
podcasts of words, that's a
problem. There must be fifth, I
don't know of any. Ah, they just
had the British Podcast Awards.
They had the black Podcast
Awards. They had the last night
in fact, while I was getting an
award at the SPARC media ignite
awards, was the Podcast Awards
by blueberry Todd you know the
Todd runs those he's done them
for 17 years. And he's now
completely virtual. Now there's
a whole bunch of different
awards. Maybe we should just do
the the pride podcast pride
awards. How about that? There's
there's a category we can
imagine what fun we'd have with
those entrance coolest color
hair best teacher award the best
teacher podcast I can just
imagine I don't know it's it
seems like a loser to me.
John C Dvorak: Why is it a loser
is publicity you get the award
out there
Adam Curry: about a single one
of these Podcast Awards there's
no published that's
John C Dvorak: because they're
they're no good that we can do
them
Adam Curry: and how much do we
charge for entry entry fee
because they'll charge an entry
fee this this is the scam
John C Dvorak: that is a scam by
the way. Yeah, it's done. Same
thing with wine awards every all
these award things. They're all
you have to you have to pay him
money to get nominated. Yeah,
it's a scam we have to do. I
hate to say it. No entry fee we
just pick
Adam Curry: well, how do we make
money on this scam then
John C Dvorak: value for value?
Adam Curry: Interesting. We can
get sponsors.
John C Dvorak: That's fine to
get sponsors. All right. And I
don't like the idea. I think
it's it's
Adam Curry: and we have the
troll corrupt. The troll award
was the one that the trolls
choose.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, maybe
that's an interesting idea.
Adam Curry: All right. So the
reason why I brought up Houston.
Yeah, I'm wondering is because
people are confirming it to me,
this colony reg D Y'all north of
Houston. This is the big
development that I we've only
seen by air where there must be
no 25,000 homesteads apparently
it's all trailers and this is
where the migrants are now being
given 12% unsecured loans for a
trailer. And, and I was reading
this article because, you know,
the Texas Attorney General who
who did not get kicked out. He
is saying I'm gonna go after
this now and he is when he what
he's calling it. He's calling it
shanty town of favela. And I
thought, wow. And I thought,
yeah, this is exactly what you
said. And and although people
are horrified. Is it really a
bad idea?
John C Dvorak: Sure they should.
They're basically selling them
trailers, right? Yeah. And
shanty towns are going to be
mostly trailer parks. Now. Do
you remember this is not a new
idea. Do you remember I think it
was during George Bush
administration when the FEMA was
bringing all these trailers into
Florida or wherever the
hurricane went. And they were
poisoning people with
formaldehyde poisoning, because
the trailers are poorly made.
Adam Curry: That Well, I thought
that was Katrina wasn't like
Katrina. Katrina. Yeah, it was
formaldehyde trailers. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the
formaldehyde trailers that FEMA
was bringing in and putting
people in, I think a favela or a
shanty town completely made out
of trailers. So as a giant
trailer park is, is a fabulous
concept.
Adam Curry: I was talking to two
people last night who had been
on a mission to Brazil, and they
went into the favelas and or the
shanty towns. And they said, No,
it was actually quite
interesting, because, you know,
they'll knock on doors and you
know, I have you been saved by
Jesus. But they will go in and
these people would have
expensive wristwatches and
beautiful televisions on the
wall, which kind of just kind of
goes to your, to your basic idea
that yeah, it looks crappy. But
it's not like it isn't an actual
economy and doesn't work. It's
just it's, you know, oh, we're
horrified by the idea, but I
don't see what what other what
option there is.
John C Dvorak: There is none. I
think you're right.
Adam Curry: The Unlike Europe,
where they have completely gone
to problem reaction, and here's
the solution part. L the big
muckety mucks got together, they
had they're working on a deal.
Listen carefully to what they're
doing about the migration. I'm
sorry, it's irregular
immigration in the EU, European
Unknown: Union has been trying
to regulate its efforts to deal
with the migrant crisis for
years. And now finally,
agreement, maybe close cherished
crisis
Adam Curry: proposal gained a
huge support. By the way, all
these people, they don't this is
not no one gets to vote on this.
This. They're just this is
commission work. They just doing
it. And they're all getting
together, and then all the B
rolls and I'm laughing and
patting each other on the back.
And
John C Dvorak: I have to say, I
have to say the EU has taken the
admitted, admitted. Ministry
Ministry of State, I can't say
it administrators state to an
extreme. I mean, it's like let's
take this idea which the
Americans developed. And let's
institutionalize it.
Adam Curry: It's unbelievable.
And they're all but they're all
just hanging out, you know, the
Oh, and you know, they go to
Malta, they go to Brussels is
always a different location,
different location,
Unknown: because you have find
the right balance that member
states will support. And again,
I'm sure that in a few days, we
will also have the formal
decision on the general approach
on the on the crisis proposal,
and that is very much a welcome.
Adam Curry: So just don't worry,
we'll have a proposal a balance,
you know what that means, don't
you balance. That means Hey,
everybody's getting some and you
get some migrants and you get
some migrants and you get some
migrants.
Unknown: This step forward for
the migration and asylum pact is
significant. It allows the EU to
extend the detention of migrants
arriving in the block. It will
also compel members with
external borders to deploy more
micro processing centers.
Adam Curry: Don't worry, Moore's
coming, but you just make more
migrant processing centers,
everything's okay. We're not
going to change anything, just
have more processing centers, so
it doesn't look so bad
Unknown: collectively, that
could deter and improve
authorities ability to deal with
the huge numbers arriving on
Europe's shores this year. The
move will come as a relief and
not just to those working on the
frontlines of the crisis. German
objections have been the last
roadblock to progress on the
deal. Those failed just as the
country announced plans to boost
checkpoints at its borders,
Poland and the Czech Republic.
Others have already made similar
moves after Italy Slovenia said
it was tightening controls at
its border with Croatia.
Adam Curry: Now this here's the
problem. The whole idea behind
the European Union will really
two things. The most important
is the euro, get rid of your
money, you're done. We control
you because we control your
money. The second one, no
borders, Schengen, no borders,
everybody can cross around, do
whatever you want work in any
country. And this was the big
European promise. This was the
big dream of like the United
States of Europe. You know, this
is what it was and now it's it's
in jeopardy without him. Then I
like to
Unknown: stress that this is not
about establishing internal
control, but about reinforce
compensatory measures,
Adam Curry: compensatory
measures. They just want to get
paid. That's not what that
means. Compensatory measures.
Come Yeah, exactly what it
means. Yeah, hey, Joe, it's okay
bring him in. But we just need
to get paid Come on, and your
pay is
Unknown: at risk could be a
founding principle of the EU
itself. The free movement of
people inside the Schengen area
of the block has been described
as one of the main achievements
of the European project men, the
migrant crisis may have
threatened that
you came from the field as in a
way of fighting so that the
European Union's internal
borders can be kept open. We
need this European solution.
Otherwise, Schengen is in
danger.
Authorities in Germany alone
have recorded more than 204,000
asylum applications this year,
up 78% Compared to 2022, doesn't
even include the 1.1 million
Ukrainian refugees who fled the
war with Russia.
Adam Curry: I forgot that and
the Ukrainian refugees. And as
we discussed in the last show,
this is all a giant United
Nations project it's been going
on for here. I have another
document that I put in the show
notes, like that migration
replacement document from 2000.
In the EU, Henry Kissinger 1974
We need to create conditions
conducive to fertile fertility
decline. So we need to watch
Yes,
John C Dvorak: for Where did you
get that one. This
Adam Curry: is from his own,
from his own un study here for
its own merits and consistent
with the recommendations who
John C Dvorak: published this,
the UN, for its most UN has got
to go
Adam Curry: well for its own
merits and consistent with this
is Henry Kissinger, and
consistent with the
recommendations of the world
population plan of action.
priority should be given in the
general aid program to selective
development policies in sectors
offering the greatest promise of
increased motivation for smaller
family size. In many cases,
pilot programs and experimental
research will be needed as
guidance for later efforts on a
larger scale, like sterilizing
your kids. The preferential
sectors in sectors include
providing minimal levels of
education, especially for women.
I'll read that again, meaningful
education levels, especially for
women below that
John C Dvorak: can be read
either way, of course. Yeah.
Yeah. Let's let's assume they
mean it in a positive way.
Adam Curry: That's hard for me
to do. Well, in increasing
income of the poorest,
especially in rural areas,
including providing privately
owned farms. Isn't that kind of
the favela Fabella idea.
John C Dvorak: I think it's more
of the Homestead idea. Anyway,
negative attitude here.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. But
where's this really coming from?
You see these boats coming over?
And this is this is the pretty
much the only thing the
mainstream media shows that I
can find at least, this is all
NGOs. This is all
nongovernmental organizations,
and a non governmental
organization gets money receives
money from the government to do
certain tasks. Austin has a
billion dollar NGO
John C Dvorak: to breathe air
now there's your exit strategy
to
Adam Curry: resettle migrants
asylum seekers in the United
States. Now listen to this
Unknown: European Union
ministers responsible for
migration gathered to try and
hammer out to green.
Adam Curry: I like on even like
the way that that title reads.
The ministers responsible for
migration. They're responsible
for it. They're not they're not
responsible for stopping it. No,
the European Minister ministers,
they have ministers whose job it
is, is to bring in migrants.
Unknown: European Union
ministers responsible for
migration gathered to try and
hammer out agreement on a
proposed migration and asylum
pact. Discussions yielded no
final deal. Spain, which
currently holds the EU
presidency struck an upbeat tone
saying that the talks that
underscored the need to tackle
the migrant crisis. The pact on
migration is today more than
ever unnecessary agreement we
cannot do without it. It is one
of our most immediate challenges
require flexibility, effort and
generosity. From all of us. I
open up for questions the US Top
migration official Ylva
Johansson was also upbeat saying
an agreement was imminent
Adam Curry: this woman's a piece
of work this is this is Oh man,
you know the hair, you know that
the jacket she's wearing, you
know the jewel she's wearing.
And she's Oh, she's a beat
Unknown: because I'm sure that
in a few days, we will also have
the formal decision on the
General Post on the on the
crisis proposal. And that is
very much a welcome, welcome.
clash between Germany and Italy
in talks stalled progress. One
sticking point was over the role
of NGO charity ships conducting
migrant rescue operations in the
Mediterranean.
Adam Curry: So all you have to
do is get on a rubber boat look
dangerous and then you send up
the flare and work period comes
the NGO boat. Well, don't worry,
we'll take you to safety
Unknown: chain VAs to lose
Foreign Minister meeting his
German counterpart in Berlin
spelled out Italian concerns.
Organizational motivation,
nobody's waging a war against
NGOs. We only say however, they
cannot be as frantic said sort
of magnet to attract irregular
migrants irregular within let's
say, always brought to
the clock is ticking on sealing
a deal that is vital to address
the migrant crisis in Europe.
Officials say an agreement needs
to be in place by February, with
the European elections due in
June. This was an estimated
quarter of a million irregular
arrivals in the EU so far this
year.
Adam Curry: So they have to get
some kind of deal done before
the elections. Why? Because
someone else comes in and then
they get the NGO money, as
sounds very suspect. It's not
good.
John C Dvorak: It's interesting.
These NGOs are the are the
subversive, modern version of
subversive Marxist,
Adam Curry: not even so
subversive. We just no one talks
about them that no one has given
John C Dvorak: them and then the
government pays for it. Yeah. Be
like paying for your own demise.
I mean, and I'm gonna hire a
hitman to go after me. And,
Adam Curry: and this stuff
happens all over our own
country, where NGOs or
nonprofits, you know,
advertising whatever you want to
call it. They get money from,
from city governments, local
municipalities, and they have no
incentive at all to solve
problems. That's that's one of
Austin's big problems. We got
homeless and I we need another
$600 million to solve that
problem. They have and what do
they do with it? Oh, let's go
buy hotels, let's stick them in
hotels, let's spend it on
hotels. The hotel thing is
phenomenal. It's really I mean,
this is. So now in Los Angeles,
even though it's not just
irregular migrants, which I
think is a great term. The
homeless, now Los Angeles has a
solution. They're not going to
buy up hotels. No, no, no.
Here's the What is this outfit,
the America the hotel and
accommodation organization, the
LA chapter. They have not these
guys. But the city has a
proposal what to do with
homeless and irregular migrants
in Los Angeles. The fight that
we have in Los Angeles is one of
the worst public policy ideas,
perhaps the worst public policy
idea I've ever heard of. And
that is to take the homeless
population that deserve a
serious solution to a serious
problem. And try to patchwork
that problem by placing them in
hotels alongside regular tours
to families and paying guests.
This sounds great.
Unknown: And he's gonna tell us
why it's great. It is a disaster
waiting to happen. It doesn't
help the homeless. I love the
industry almost overnight. I
mean, look, consumers have
choices. Look, they don't have
to go to Los Angeles, they only
have to go to California, they
can choose somewhere else. But
if they want to go to the LA
area, they can simply choose a
hotel outside of Los Angeles.
That's not that difficult. No
consumers can want to actively
make a selection where they know
that a homeless population is
going to be in the room right
next to them or at the swimming
pool or in the in the lobby. I
mean, these are people this
population that needs help. It
is a serious issue. They need
medical professional help. hotel
workers are not trained for this
and to put them in that type of
danger. It is a terrible idea.
What we know for certain won't
work and should never even be
proposed is this idea of mixing
that population with the regular
traveler, the mom and dad that
are trying to kill For kids on
vacation, right, terrible idea
that is dangerous for the
guests, but more importantly
dangerous for the hotel workers
that have to come to work each
and every day and try to deal
with a situation for which
they've never been trained.
Homelessness is a very serious
issue that we all believe should
be dealt with in a serious
manner. This particular proposal
is not serious. It's very
dangerous. We certainly want to
make sure it stops here in Los
Angeles so that no other
municipality in the country try
something that's dangerous.
Beyond your freedom
John C Dvorak: about how about
making it a tourist attraction
kind of like us, you can live
next to a homeless stay at the
Hilton
Adam Curry: at the swim with the
homeless. It's like swimming
with Adult Swim with the
homeless sickness lifts Swimming
with dolphins
John C Dvorak: poop in the
halls.
Adam Curry: Speaking of poop in
San Diego has a great idea.
Unknown: Many downtown public
restrooms have been overwhelmed
by drug use people with mental
illnesses and sanitary issues,
folks, especially families with
young children don't feel
comfortable. And paying $15 for
a 15 minute bathroom break makes
a lot of sense. Hundreds of
people have been signing up for
the rest space app. Just as it
starts to make a name for
itself. Posts make 70% of the
fee and rest space takes 30
Adam Curry: So you can rent out
your bathroom on an app.
John C Dvorak: Guys and
Adam Curry: people can poop in
your house like
John C Dvorak: ride sharing.
Shit sharing.
Adam Curry: It would have been a
great show title if it wasn't.
Yeah, share, share your bathroom
poop share. That's great. That
means someone's gonna have to at
a certain point someone has to
say hey, I have a cause here my
causes this has to stop. This
has to stop
John C Dvorak: to stop. It's not
gonna stop
Adam Curry: boots on the ground.
The Biden is in administration.
This is an ice boots on the
ground has turned ice ready into
a travel agency. They stopped
apprehending anyone because they
do what they're instructed to
do, which was a lease and often
have to facilitate
transportation to other states
as requested by the detained
illegal. They've largely just
stopped working because they
have no authority to go to North
Dakota to do anything to enforce
immigration laws, even if they
are criminals. So ice is you
know, we were talking about the
small town cop who couldn't even
get ice on the phone just kept
getting voicemail because they
can pay. They're getting paid to
sit at a desk, go to the gym,
and just wait for the next
administration to come in which
may or may not be better you
never know.
John C Dvorak: Well, it sounds
like a people job. You're
looking for a job that's the
place to work.
Adam Curry: Now, if you thought
that was bad, the land of Abba,
the land of Spotify, the land of
the Swedish Chef is falling
apart.
Unknown: Swedish Prime Minister
of christison has vowed to
defeat criminal gangs after
recent surge and violent attacks

explosions reportedly connected
to a gang war. The centre right
politicians slammed quote
irresponsible immigration and
failed integration. On Thursday,
Kristen also said he had someone

Adam Curry: That is gang warfare
now.
John C Dvorak: This gang warfare
inserts right
Adam Curry: in Sweden. Well
place doesn't sound right and
John C Dvorak: says all sounds
sweet and come on mouth.
Adam Curry: South squeed. Malmo?
Yeah, sure. Yeah. In New York
City, they almost had the right
idea knows how we got all these
irregular migrants and I'm just
making jokes about it. These of
course, are people. I mean, we
can we can't stop seeing them as
human beings. They tried to wash
them off the streets.
Unknown: It's a historic deluge
in the New York City area, which
has drenched the locals. Heavy
rainfall caused significant
disruption to communities public
transport and flooded several
basements. As authorities
scramble the downpour brought
back the memory of hurricane
Ida, which dumped record
breaking rain on the northeast
and killed at least 13 people in
the Big Apple in 2021.
Listen is not an ordinary
rainfall. This is historic. We
are on track to possibly create
a new record of 10 inches of
rain falling in literally 24
hours last time we even had this
number was in 1955 and that was
over a two day periods.
Adam Curry: Wait a minute. So
what's what do we have climate
change in 1955?
John C Dvorak: Okay, so but now
she's you look at the list. This
is like number nine on the list
of rainfalls in one day in New
York and most of them took place
in the year two, first decade of
2000 was a lot of stuff that
goes beyond way back. Yeah. And
this is not that big of a deal.
Although it happened it just the
way I hear it. I have two clips.
Adam Curry: Let me let me finish
this. And because a resident
here tells you what the real
problem is. And I've received
several
John C Dvorak: emails, they may
have what I have a lot under
root
Adam Curry: now I'll just finish
this this is not
Unknown: this is Hurricane Ida
level water.
According to the weather and
city officials by 2:30pm. local
time, as much as 15 centimeters
of rain was recorded in several
areas, including Brooklyn, lower
Manhattan and John F. Kennedy
International Airport, the city
had been experiencing during the
week mostly steady rainfall,
which triggered a flash flood in
the area. As the rain briefly
slowed, residents emerge from
their homes to take stock of the
damage and begin draining the
water.
They were coming from the
ground, because there are no
drainage system from this
location, all the rainwater,
they are not able to drain out
from this area. So it's coming
into our house.
Adam Curry: Now. That's what the
residents say you got no drains
work and the sewers aren't
right. But that's not what the
news is, you know, we are
really, really suffering.
Unknown: Systems producing more
intense rainfalls have become
more commonplace in many parts
of the United States due to the
climate crisis. Scientists say
more extreme and intense weather
patterns are set to become the
norm across the globe. As the
situation gets worse, yes, it's
Adam Curry: climate change, of
course.
John C Dvorak: So this happened
in 2011. It was the storm of the
century, it was the worst thing
ever. And it did the exact same
thing in New York. And it was
during our show, remember most
of these these stories, we have
reliable events through 10s of
millions of dollars at fixing
the infrastructure. And I know
what happened basic contractors
say that was a once in a
lifetime thing. Nothing's going
to happen again in our entire
lives. Let's just pocket the
money and do nothing. I think
you're right. That's exactly
what his only excuse because now
it does. Some of the pictures
are fabulous. They have this one
shot of inside one of the subway
stations and water squirting out
of those white tiles.
Adam Curry: This and this is not
a new I mean, I used to live in
New York In New Jersey, we got
flooding like this. We had the
subway stations flood I mean,
it's I remember this.
John C Dvorak: So they they took
the money and ran it. They did
nothing. And then everyone
blamed great problems. Climate
change is the world's greatest,
greatest excuse to do nothing
and I'm
Adam Curry: going to change my
stance. Because climate change
is 100% manmade.
John C Dvorak: Yes, I know what
you're saying. It's 100%
Adam Curry: manmade for sure.
I'm all in.
John C Dvorak: And by that of
course you mean that's been
created the whole idea of quote
created the whole hoax. Yes. I
got two clips on these floods as
New York City floods one.
Unknown: In New York City, up to
five inches of rain fell in some
areas overnight into Friday
following a week of steady
rainfall. A flash flood warning
was in effect for the city until
midday and Mayor Eric Adams
urged people to stay put if
possible.
I am issuing a state of
emergency for New York City
based emergencies and want to
say to a
Adam Curry: state of emergency.
It's
John C Dvorak: not a state of
emergency. It's a state of an
emergency. That's right. I'm the
mayor.
Unknown: I am issuing a state of
emergency for New York City.
Adam Curry: I mean, that alone
is like don't you just think
okay, well, we're screwed. We're
screwed
Unknown: based on the weather
conditions. And I want to say to
all New Yorkers, this is time
for heightened alertness and
extreme caution. If you are home
stay home if you are at work or
school shelter in place.
Adam Curry: Shelter in Place
John C Dvorak: shelter in place
if you're at school for how
long?
Unknown: The city reported no
storm related deaths or critical
injuries as of Friday afternoon,
but the floods caused major
disruptions to the city's subway
system and the Metro North
commuter rail service. The
rainfall also shut down
Manhattan's FDR Drive and
delayed flights at LaGuardia
Airport
Adam Curry: it would have been
funnier if he said shelter in
place and wear a mask that would
have now that would have been
dynamite their significant
Unknown: portion To the subway
system that are shut down. We
are starting the process of
reactivating certain lines. But
when water covers the
electrified third rail we have
to do inspections. Yeah. So that
that will be unfolding slowly.
Adam Curry: Okay. The subway
Yeah, no other great is a little
short with
Unknown: some 18 million people
in the New York metropolitan
area and in other major cities
along the east coast. We're
under flood warnings, watches
and advisories. New York
Governor Kathy Hogle declared a
state of emergency for New York
City, Long Island and the Hudson
Valley.
John C Dvorak: So yeah, nobody
died. It can't be that bad.
Adam Curry: No, dad. Yeah, I got
a stepdaughter in Brooklyn.
She's not calling crime. Like,
in bro. Brooklyn was supposed to
be one of the main places. But
yeah, I mean, this is what
happens. And especially these
airports, come on, look at the
location. Look at how they're
set up.
John C Dvorak: Look at what
they're built on a flood. Yeah,
exactly.
Adam Curry: Like, hello.
John C Dvorak: Yes, because it's
a nice flat area. That's what
you do.
Adam Curry: Well, it's good
communication mechanism, climate
change, climate change.
John C Dvorak: I do have some
other kind of another clip about
New York. That is I think more
interesting because I was
thinking about it. You bet you
lived in New York. You've been
in New York. Everyone who's ever
been in New York knows about
these garbage. piles of garbage
on the street 24/7 Sure. Well,
they're going to finally decide
to go to bins like every other
civilized part of the world
Adam Curry: like so we can have
the bin police like in the in
the bin Belize and bullied
because
John C Dvorak: of the rats. Yes,
a rat Roush is New York City's
Unknown: now for a story about
fighting an all too common urban
scourge rats. Decades New
Yorkers thrown out their garbage
in plastic. Wait, is
Adam Curry: this that 342 person
station WNYC in New York, is
that what I'm hearing here?
John C Dvorak: Well, it's it is
a public it's public
broadcasting. So it could be
bags on
Unknown: City sidewalks. They
haven't used bins bins until
now. City officials are starting
to require more hard sided trash
containers.
Adam Curry: Homosassa why are we
in America using the term bins?
This is not an American word. We
don't say dust bin was a trash
can I mean trash will
John C Dvorak: you know i Here's
that I this is interesting as
you bring this up. This is
classic news deconstruction
Adam Curry: There you go. Here
we go standby everybody. So I've
got
John C Dvorak: bins in in the
whole east Bay's because his
waste management companies
generally runs most of it. Yeah,
the most of they have these bins
in the big garbage trucks come
by they grab the bins with the
big cook and they pull it over
and dump it in. And these things
cans to me because we used to
have garbage cans was in memory.
The garbage cans is a big
galvanized can't like a giant
can with a lid tightly fits.
Right and I think the square
buildings bins that have a flip
lid that get dumped into the
truck is a bin I think I've
always thought of it as a bin
but you're right it and it's not
a can. We don't have to be made
out of metal.
Adam Curry: But we don't
typically talk about bins in
America bins is a UK thing. I
know. Yeah. You're
John C Dvorak: right by the word
Adam Curry: being just, it's
okay.
John C Dvorak: It's not going to
vote into the vocabulary. It
doesn't we can do about it.
Adam Curry: But here in Texas,
we will not say Ben Oh, you
don't say bins. Bins though. We
know No. That's trash cans trash
bucket. I don't say anything but
bins. We don't talk about bins.
Unknown: They haven't used bins
names. Until now. City officials
are starting to require more
hard sided trash containers.
That is Austin cope reports.
They hope it will slow the
city's growing rat population.
It's a Friday night men hang out
and Michelle and I are standing
in front of a row of apartments
with a big stack of black trash
bags out in front. You can hear
a few very faint high pitched
squeaks in the background.
Right now we see just a bunch of
garbage that's out there. And we
see we hear rats actually making
noise. Saying hey, we'd been on
the radio to hip hop, they're
actually not quite close enough
to the mic. They make a lot of
loads, which is very scary
because if you walk down the
block, you never know they're
running right across your foot.
Who wants to get bit by a rat.
But what does that have to do
with the trash bags?
A lot because they are inside
those bags. They are you scared
to walk by because they are in
there eating whatever's inside
the bags.
So what would you do if you were
walking by these bags right now
across the street?
Adam Curry: Who is this expert
this expert on rats that they're
talking to?
John C Dvorak: Like the expert
you had in the last couple of
clips? This guy's like that
Mexican guy
Adam Curry: I'm an expert on
rats you know you got garbage
you get rat out well
Unknown: industrially I do I
walk in the street really you
know, but then you don't want to
cross over to the other side
because these bags on the other
side too.
This is exactly the kind of
thing officials here hoping to
solve. New Yorkers put out
around 44 million pounds of
trash each day. Since the late
60s Most of it has gone right
under City Sidewalks like this
one. New Yorker ocean Thomas
says it's no wonder there's so
many routes
when you visit other towns right
you one of the first things you
notice being a native New Yorker
is that while these tunnels are
so clean, and it doesn't stink,
and the thing that stands out
the most is that one, the trash
is not all over the place. And
if it is trash cans that are out
there contained.
Now the city started making
people put their waste in bins.
Adam Curry: Now when I first
moved to New York City that was
before we had bins bins yet no
but no bins. Yeah, and the trash
was just outside. You know that
picked it up at night VP to come
the trucks waste, man. Yeah, the
guys from New Jersey, the
sopranos would pick it up. But
this was 1987 and New York was a
craphole. And we had rats, big
ones. And you see us walk down
the street. Columbus, rats, no.
John C Dvorak: Large cat sized
rat
Adam Curry: in New York. New
York was in severe decline at
the time you need. This is I
gotta say it before Giuliani
came in with Mayor Bratton. He
cleaned up the crime. Police
Chief Bratton clean up the crime
and clean up the city. And so
this may be peak rat. And I
don't know you have another
clip. So I'm presuming you've
got more rat more
John C Dvorak: on a rat rat for
Unknown: the past couple of
months. Large businesses have to
do it in 30, restaurants,
grocery stores and other places
that serve food. next March. All
businesses will have to private
residents don't yet but
officials say more rules are on
the way. Finding where to put
all this garbage isn't
necessarily easy. Victor Edwards
lives in a neighborhood where
the city is testing out new
containers in the streets.
Adam Curry: We put the garbage
where we always put the garbage
Staten Island Hello
Unknown: Victor Edwards lives in
a neighborhood where the city is
testing out new containers in
the street.
If you look across the street,
where cars are parked, you will
see that it takes up
approximately four parking
spaces.
Edwards leads a community board
that represents residents
opinions, he hopes the city can
plan for more than just the
past.
We definitely want to get rid of
rats. I'm not saying I want to
live with rats. But by the same
token, I want to take in
consideration all the other
factors physically challenged
people who have to carry these
bags now and lift them up and
put them in seniors the same
thing and then pocking.
Officials hope to balance out
larger bins in the street with
smaller ones on the sidewalk.
But they say there'll be some
trade offs. Daniel Mills lives
in the Bronx and owns a car.
She's okay with containers
industry since sometimes people
just throw their trash they're
taking up parking anyway. So I
would prefer the bins to be
there in I don't have a problem
with sacrifice some parking.
Some make sure that you know we
keep in the streets clean and
cleared from garbage
and for Tamika Jordan, it really
gets back to the rodents.
No one wants to little Mickey
Mouse in that and now I'm very
afraid of that rat.
She hasn't had any at her place,
but she's seen some near where
she works. So it was more bins
go in cheese. Glad the rats will
have a harder time reaching
their next meal.
Adam Curry: Okay, I'm just
thinking about this logically, I
living in New York. Do you know
how many bins you need on the
street to
John C Dvorak: a whole stop 42
million pounds of garbage a day?
Let me think
Adam Curry: how many bins does
that make
John C Dvorak: lots of bins have
been businesses is a day makes
these bins and you've been
invest?
Adam Curry: Or do what European
countries have done. Like
Rotterdam they went underground.
So you go outside and there's a
shoot me you you drop your bags
down the chute they go they go.
That's a big hole. But it's you
know, you don't see it on the
top, just the entrance. But if
you threw a body in there, oh
yeah, it'd be fine. And then the
truck comes by and it has its
own. And it pulls this whole
huge thing out of the ground and
dumps it into the truck. That's
the way to go. Except, you know,
if you drill down in New York
City, you know the roads will be
faldo's When you're gonna hit.
Now this of course, is one of
the big problems with our
pollution is a waste and the
waste is plastic. Plastic takes
up a lot of space, then, you
know, we're just going to
replace it with more plastic
bins. But luckily, scientists
scientists
John C Dvorak: have chopped the
bins up for plastic scientists
Adam Curry: have a solution for
plastic. And I'm very excited
about this. This is a new
ecological breakthrough
Unknown: plastic pollution is a
looming global crisis. The world
now produces more than 380
million tons of it every year,
and a man projected to triple by
26 Steel. At a glance this looks
like your regular vanilla ice
cream. But the desert is the
first of its kind in the world
is derived from plastic waste.
The process is developed by
scientists in Edinburgh and
harnesses the power of bacteria
and enzymes to break down the
plastics polymers. No longer
plastic. The PTS are then
processed by another bacteria to
turn it into vanillin. The
design is the idea was born from
frustration about the failure of
the recycling system, and how it
cannot keep up with plastic
production. But scientists say
the ice cream very much remains
a research project aren't quite
ready for consumption work, but
rather a starting point to
rethink the way we approach
plastic waste.
Perhaps misconception around
what it actually is by the end
of the process that is no longer
plastic. But I think it's part
of that we it is really
important that we take the
safety side of it really, really
seriously and we make it very
clear that this has to go
through processes and food
standard processes as any other
food ingredient.
Adam Curry: It'll be safe and
effective. Don't worry, it's all
good.
John C Dvorak: safe and
effective. Recycle Plastic
Minella
Adam Curry: but they give you
enzyme so so you can dissolve
it. Yeah, electrolytes.
Now, you may be New York City is
bad. But that's nothing compared
to France right now. And we know
that France is under attack. We
know McCrone is under attack,
the French are not playing game
not playing ball. They got too
many nuclear plants. You know,
they just pains in the asses.
The EU doesn't like him. They're
tired of them. So let's give him
something to really really think
about
Unknown: the French government
taking the extraordinary step
today of rolling out a national
plan to stop an invasion and
invasion of what appears to be
bedbugs infesting the country.
John C Dvorak: By story again,
oh, this
Adam Curry: is bad just
Unknown: months before they're
supposed to host the Olympics.
And these bugs are not just in
their namesake beds. They're in
trains in movie theaters. Out
there in the big airport in
Paris. Look at this, you can see
here what looks to be a bedbug
crawling along the armrest of
one of the high speed trains in
France. You can imagine people
are just thrilled to see it.
They love it. They do not
stress me out because this
morning, I had to take the train
and I wondered whether I would
find some. So I felt a bit
hesitant. But at the same time,
I know there are some also in
cinemas and somewhat everywhere.
So I paid close attention when
stepping on the train and look
to see if there are any crawlers
on my seat. That's
Josh Letterman, I'm just going
to tell you, I don't know if I'm
moving through this like it is I
mean, this is an infestation so
bad that the French government
is stepping in to fight this
battle. Like what is the plan
here?
I'm so glad that we're talking
about this on a Friday night,
Holly, I'm never gonna be able
to fall asleep tonight. So thank
you so much for that. But
seriously, this is a crisis for
government because this is the
kind of thing that normally
households deal with at the
family level. It's not the kind
of thing that governments are
used to dealing with. And so
they really have to figure out
quickly how to get their hands
around this. And they're
focusing first off on the
transportation system, because
that's really where you have
high density of people, heavily
trafficked areas where this kind
of thing can really start to
spread very quickly.
Adam Curry: I think this is
sabotage. Because it didn't
start like in New York, really.
In New York. They had no hotel
bedbug problem we reported on
that years ago, this year,
John C Dvorak: you know, that
was that was the entire country.
There was problems in in San
Francisco. They also talked
about bedbugs in the theater. He
was measured major stories we
have Yes, still in the archives.
I maybe dig some up for the next
show. Talking about the bed bugs
bed baths. All they talked
about. Well, no,
Adam Curry: it's Democrat cities
is what you're saying. That's
what I'm hearing here. But you
are right. The theaters. This is
sabotage and it started in the
theaters.
Unknown: UGC cinemas had
initially ignored reports of
bedbugs. However, it made a U
turn after customers threatened
to boycott its cinema halls. The
chain has admitted that bedbugs
are present in at least some of
its cinemas it published a
statement saying that it was
sincerely sorry for all the
victims of bedbug bites.
However, the cinema says that
there are no grounds for
compensating victims. The
statement further underlines
that this couch of bedbox
concerns all public places,
along with private homes in
France that bugs have been
discovered this year in
theaters, hospitals and prisons
in front of prisons. They were
also found in the merciless
underground network. A recent
report by the French government
said that bedbugs had spread to
about 11% of Friends households,
and we're causing sleep loss,
mental health problems and
absenteeism.
Adam Curry: This is this is
going to bring down their
economy.
John C Dvorak: If they keep
promoting it, I mean bedbugs are
frogs. bedbugs are not hard to
stop bentonite and the spread
around households on corners and
stuff till they can dig kills
them all because they can't walk
across it. And then if you own
the theater, why wouldn't you
have already sprayed it for with
Malla thigh on a number of times
you get any kind of critter out
of there and nobody's gonna know
I don't know it's not gonna
poison this whole thing. You're
right. This is some sort of a
setup is being done for a reason
by someone. Well, the Olympics
Adam Curry: the Olympics was the
key part in the first report.
The Olympics are just months
away. And it's in France, Paris,
I think.
John C Dvorak: Paris in Paris.
Yeah, this is done this is some
sort of program
Adam Curry: if can you imagine
you have the Olympics you put
you spend hundreds of billions
of euros on setting up your
venues and getting everybody
ready and the whole world goes?
Nope, not gonna go to bed bugs.
I'm not gonna Hey, they could
turn them into a snack.
John C Dvorak: Take too many of
them. I guess if he had a kind
of maybe a like a popsicle stick
coated and honey and then you
roll the bed bugs on him. So he
eat like, you know, get to eat a
lot at once. I wonder if if
they're edible? If it did then
dip it in chocolate. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Nice.
John C Dvorak: There's something
up with this. Yeah, I agree. It
is like an extortion plot to
some sort. Somebody did this.
They don't
Adam Curry: like McCrone I mean,
and I think you know, of all the
problems in France. This could
get the French mad enough to
kick them out. All right, we're
sticky. And now we got bedbugs.
We got irregular migrants.
Bedbugs
John C Dvorak: lost our ass on
the Olympics, which they always
do. Anyway, every
Adam Curry: country. Every
country loses loses out on
that's never good. It's never
good.
John C Dvorak: Yes. Amazing.
They get suckered into doing it
time. And again, there's got to
be unbelievable amounts of
bribery involved in the Olympic
program system.
Adam Curry: So here's the
question because it doesn't make
any sense. And you know, you
predicted something else would
happen. I'm not blaming you. I'm
not calling you out, but we were
in Houston. Gas was 279 I'm
sorry, 379 379 for gas and here.
We're in in Fredericksburg.
We're paying for 6470 but
California
Unknown: residents of California
they are already feeling the
squeeze gas prices, causing
major pain at the pump. ABCs
Derek Dennis joins us now with
some efforts to change that.
Derrick. Good morning. We're
talking over $8
A gallon absolutely just $8 a
gallon for regular unleaded.
That's the staggering price in
some areas of California. And
drivers are frustrated parking
their cars are feeling forced to
just pay up the national average
about 382 A gallon California's
average more than six bucks a
gallon if you're lucky, but
topping $8 A gallon if you're
not prices up 80 cents across
California in just the last
month. And here's why gas prices
are tied to the global oil
market where it's all about
supply and demand. oil producing
countries like Saudi Arabia have
been cutting back on supply
driving up oil prices. So what's
being done? Governor Gavin
Newsom approving a short term
fix transitioning the state to
using a cheaper winter blend of
fuel while Republicans want to
suspend the state's gas tax
saving 58 cents on the gallon.
Adam Curry: Now you know a lot
about this stuff. You know a lot
about the winter blends, you
know a lot about the oil and gas
industry in general, what is
going on? Why is Why is oil so
expensive? And is even that
expensive? Is it 90? It's
John C Dvorak: it's 90 but which
you know it doesn't mean it
should be 750 A gallon around my
area 650 which is
Adam Curry: too high. Yes,
really high.
John C Dvorak: But I think it's
a gouge being done. I think it's
somehow being orchestrated. And
I think it all has to do with
trying to get Biden out.
Adam Curry: Well, this was a
very interesting report that I
heard this, what you're saying
there may be true listen to this
Unknown: report from the
California Division of petroleum
market oversight. They found an
unusual spot market transaction
that led to gas prices
skyrocketing.
And we know that 50 cents of it
was as a direct result of one
spot market transaction.
Is it the oil companies in the
refineries? Do we miss that one
single transaction or whatever
you don't know. State
Representative Mike Levin sent a
letter to the Federal Trade
Commission, asking them to
investigate the transaction
because we're fed up with these
oil companies and market
manipulation Shouldn't and price
gouging and we need for the
Federal Trade Commission to work
with the state of California to
investigate, get to the bottom
of it and hold those to account
Adam Curry: if anything is going
wrong. So a spot trade so
someone did a trade which had
some bogus bogus price in there.
Yeah, that'll do it.
John C Dvorak: Well, for short
term it will to enough to get
everyone hooked. But there's
something up with this. Some of
the stuff going on with getting
getting rid of Biden, I've
noticed this in the clips on
this. I have. I do have a couple
I do want to play some Biden
clips. So he was in California.
Yeah, you have a clip you have a
special clip we've been holding
on to I do you do. You have the
Biden clip about him and LL
Cool. llj.
Adam Curry: Oh, I
John C Dvorak: we played it
after the show. You didn't play
it on the show.
Adam Curry: I also didn't. I
didn't clip it. I played it to
me. I played it from the YouTube
I think,
John C Dvorak: Oh, well. Let's
play Biden in California.
mumbling
Unknown: President Biden visits
California for a two day trip.
He attended several private
fundraisers in the San Francisco
Bay Area on Tuesday evening,
before making his way down the
peninsula on Wednesday.
We're in a situation where we
used to have a significant
portion of our GDP going into
research and development. And it
got down to point 7% from 2%.
Biden's remarks came as he met
with the President's Council of
Advisors on Science and
Technology. His speakers said
they will report on
recommendations on medical
patient safety and experience as
well as possibilities and risks
of artificial intelligence. They
want to use it to predict
weather extremes as climate
change. Oh, read materials and
understand the origins of the
universe.
Adam Curry: Wait a minute. We
need AI now to to validate this
stuff that has been going on.
Unknown: Biden's visit and
fundraiser events come as
Congress continues to grapple
with an impending government
shutdown on October 1. Both
houses are unable to agree on
budget bills. But Biden told
reporters during his California
visit, I don't think anything's
inevitable in politics, and I'll
just say if we have a government
shutdown, a lot of vital work in
science and health could be
impacted from cancer research to
food safety. Shut up.
John C Dvorak: I clipped a sub
clip of weary mum telling me
what he says here.
Unknown: I don't think
anything's inevitable. I can
hear it
Adam Curry: he says I don't
think anything's inevitable. And
and that's true. I have the clip
of the clip during the
Congressional Black Caucus
Phoenix awards, talking about
two of
Unknown: the great artists of
our time representing the
groundbreaking legacy of hip hop
in America. lol Jake Cool J by
the way, that boys got he got
man's got biceps bigger than my
size. I think that boy boy,
Adam Curry: boy, boy, oh boy.
All right, Joe, he's got bicep,
you know, he's bred that way.
They make him like that on the
on the cotton farms. Isn't that
exactly what he sounds like?
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: that's exactly
it.
Adam Curry: You know? Newsom,
I'm gonna see if I have this
year. Newsom who is he's you
know, he's making moves. Newsom
is making moves. He's trying
he's so they raise the minimum
wage for fast food workers in
California. Now, here's here's a
quick clip,
Unknown: California is raising
the minimum wage for fast food
workers, they'll soon be paid
$20 an hour, the highest minimum
wage in the country. The
governor says the increase
acknowledges that many fast food
workers are their family's
primary breadwinners.
There's a lot of mythology about
fast food. You know, Johnny used
to learn the value of hard work.
You know, he'd work a few hours
in his first job. That's not the
case, folks, that's a
romanticized version of a world
that doesn't exist. We have the
opportunity to reward that
contribution reward that
sacrifice and stabilize an
industry.
About half a million workers
will be affected by the
increase. Critics say the wage
hike will place a bigger burden
on both businesses and consumers
Adam Curry: to know I'm watching
this take place. I'm watching
this Newsom announced this and
this has nothing to do this was
a reparations move. It was like
it was literally like Newsom is
saying I'm giving you
reparations and it was received
that way.
Unknown: A victory for hundreds
of 1000s of people across the
state of California.
Please listen Tom Mountain.
For some, the new bill which
raises the minimum wage for fast
food workers to $20 per hour
feels like writing a historic
wrong.
This is for my grandmother, my
great grandmother, Johnny T goes
my grandmother Bobby pigment.
And for my children, this is for
my ancestors. This is for all
the farm workers. All the cotton
pickers.
California Governor Gavin Newsom
said the bill is a recognition
of the fact that a majority of
fast food workers are
breadwinners.
80% of the workforce force,
these fast food places 80% of
people of color, two thirds, two
thirds are women. We have the
opportunity to reward that
contribution reward that
sacrifice and stabilize an
industry in turn.
Adam Curry: I mean, come on
John C Dvorak: the standard.
Interesting that was not played
up here at all.
Adam Curry: This was France 24.
That's where it came from. All
the cotton pickers, my
ancestors, what were your
ancestors
John C Dvorak: working at
working at McDonald's flipping
burgers is is a reparation for
Cotton Pickin.
Adam Curry: That's Yes.
John C Dvorak: And that was off.
That was a good one.
Adam Curry: But listen, listen,
because there was a quid pro
quo. There's more there is
there's a quid pro quo. What a
remarkable moment.
Unknown: labor and business
groups negotiated long and hard
over the deal. And exchange
Union's agreed to drop their
efforts to make fast food
corporations liable for the
misdeeds of their independent
franchise operators in
California.
Adam Curry: See, the so
John C Dvorak: McDonald's they
got out of what scam was going
on. And what was that all about?
I think McDonald's
Adam Curry: was underpaid. And
all the other ones, I'll just
use McDonald's, we're under
pressure for the misdeeds of the
franchisees. So if the
franchisee was underpaying a
black person, we're gonna go
John C Dvorak: after the pockets
of the corporate Yes. And so now
the state said, Nope, can't do
that. Exactly. They sewed up
some deep pockets is what they
did good work. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Well, the whole
thing is a scam.
Adam Curry: You can't just brush
it off like that. Just say the
whole thing's a scam. Well,
that's your can. Well, okay,
then while we're on this, let
him by the way,
John C Dvorak: stop for a
second. Yes, I'm sorry, we'll
back up. Because you kind of
glossed it over your shot
through it like, you know, like,
punch through a duck. Yeah, you
were condemning me for the fact
that I had predicted that after
the dip holiday that the gas
prices would drop like a rock,
which they normally do, and they
didn't. So I was wrong. I think
you've admitted that more than
once already.
Adam Curry: But I didn't say it
to say you're wrong. It's like
this is different because you
typically are correct in these
matters. So something else
happened. And that's
John C Dvorak: good find that
there's something else which we
haven't gotten to the bottom.
Adam Curry: Oh, no. But you're
saying it's Biden thing is to
get this to
John C Dvorak: get rid of Biden.
I'm seeing more and more of
these little idiosyncratic,
small little touches here in
there at all looks like I've
anti Biden stuff, I think. And
this latest thing with the
impeachment inquiries, and some
of the new stuff coming out.
It's pretty damning. And they
don't know what to do about
except, oh, no, there's no
evidence. That's not working.
Now, before
Adam Curry: we go there. You
know, what are
John C Dvorak: we gonna wait on
that?
Adam Curry: You know what I'm
missing? Dianne Feinstein. So
she passes away. And the only
thing that I'm seeing is Oh,
yeah, it was Newsom gonna
replace it with it. We're gonna
do but, but where are the
retrospectives of her life? I
mean, I'm sure her politics may
not have been an agreement with
mine. But she was a force to be
reckoned with. She wasn't she
Mayor of San Francisco. She was
cute when she was young. If you
look at the pictures, he was
cute. Yeah, she was cute, good
looking woman. She had an
amazing career. Shouldn't they
have this on the shelf?
Shouldn't they have been ready
to like, honor her? Have you
seen anything of this of this
sort?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, a couple of
things here and there. And
they're minor, or there weren't
there weren't the big deals.
They made mostly tests. Mostly
what I've seen is testimonials.
Run right. Oh, she was a great
gal. And she was like our friend
you know, she'd come over to
dinner once in a while when she
was in town with her husband.
You know, that kind of thing. I
just find that any questions.
You know, we should just the
retrospective should have we
should have put one together
about her and the fact that she
was an apologist for the Chinese
government and current
government trade. She made
millions and millions of dollars
I'm Dan shot after China's
Chinese back that she had a
chauffeur who was a Chinese spy.
Adam Curry: This is my favorite.
These are old clips from, let me
say this is from 2019.
Unknown: This letter together in
front of Feinstein, we're asking
her to vote on the deal. We are
trying to ask you to vote yes.
On the Green New Deal.
Adam Curry: Remember when the
kids came into your office? And
like, yeah, we want you to vote
yes. On the Green New Deal.
Scientists
Unknown: said that we have 12
years to turn this around. Well,
it's not gonna get turned
around.
We can do.
Around in 10 years, you're
looking at the faces of the
people who are going to be
living with
Adam Curry: the kids are
pleading please Senator
Feinstein, please save our
souls.
Unknown: I was elected by almost
a million vote plurality. And I
know what I'm doing. So maybe
people should listen a little
bit.
I hear what you're saying. But
we're the people who voted you.
You're supposed to listen to us.
Oh, there are a bunch of kids.
16.
John C Dvorak: By the way, stop.
Adam Curry: She literally says
that you stepped on it. But
John C Dvorak: well, okay, we're
gonna go back. But she said,
Because you're gonna go back to
play this again. Were the people
that voted, you know, that's
what the teacher says.
Unknown: You're saying, but
where's the people who voted
you?
Adam Curry: That's a 16 year
old,
Unknown: you're supposed to
listen to us. That's your old
16. If you didn't
vote for something,
we're gonna be the one who's
impacted for you.
I have seven grandchildren. Now.
I understand it very well,
Senator, the cost of not taking
this action is far higher than
the cost of what the green New
Deal will be. And there is
enormous popularity for this
bill around the whole country
here. And we're asking you to do
this for us and for your
grandchildren. And the
Adam Curry: thing is, they did
it we got the green New Deal is
called the the investment, the
inflation Reduction Act. The
Green New Deal, just it made
inflation worse. It made
inflation worse and it hasn't
done anything. And here is our
favorite no agenda soundbite and
her head is gone. That's the
Diane we know and her head is
gone. That's the that's the one
we all know and love. That's the
Diane we want a retrospective
of.
John C Dvorak: No, you're not
gonna get it. Okay. But yeah,
she was the big pro Chinese. She
was also the one that was spied
upon by the CIA directly, even
though she at the time was the
head of the Senate Intelligence
Committee. And she got all bent
out of shape about it, because
she found out if you remember,
this is during that era, where
there were there were they had
the torture report that they
wouldn't release and she wanted
it released. And and so then
they decide, just as a
retrospect, she wanted it
released, they wouldn't release
the torture report. And they
said, Okay, well put the torture
report in one of those close
skiffs or whatever they are.
And, and people can go in and
look at it if they want to read
it if they're members of the
committee. And so then that's
when the Republicans turned it
over and got the Senate back in
the day, got the Senate back.
And this guy, I think his name
was burns or whatever his name
was the guy who was the head of
or maybe was the Republican head
of the Senate Intelligence
Committee, and he said, I don't
want to look at it. Yeah. And he
refused to look at it. Because
he's a guest you know, what the
CIA told them not to because it
was like restricted isn't that
whatever the case This is
pathetic. This whole situation
this government of ours,
Adam Curry: well gets better.
The F 35 op, which I call them
up I said it resembled Top Gun
to so closely, work crews at
Jax. It's a weird thing, just
like the 911 call of this top
pilot. And, and then the next
scene is Ed Harris saying son,
Maverick. Yeah, a year old this
year out. There's not going to
you know, you're you're not,
you're yesterday's news. We're
working on planes that don't
need pilots. Well, wouldn't, you
know, not even 18 hours after we
we played that clip and
discussed it. Here is a video
brand new brand new on the
YouTubes from the Air Force
Research Labs.
Unknown: Our senior leaders have
been clear and direct in saying
we're dealing with new
technology and we're dealing
with a new threat. We need to go
fast in determining competitive
advantage of autonomy and how to
ultimately operationalize
autonomy for the warfighter.
We are trying to figure out how
to integrate artificially
trained neural net works trained
in a simulation, how to
integrate those into the real
world. In this case integrated
into controlling an airplane.
We need to recognize that AI is
here. It's here to stay. It's a
powerful tool, collaborative
combat aircraft. And that type
of autonomy is revolutionary and
will be the future battle space.
Yeah, final
Adam Curry: space. battle space
autonomous planes in the future
battle space. So we have boots
on the ground in the Yes.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Oh, we have
boots. You gotta note, yeah, we
had
Adam Curry: the boots on the
ground, the Air Force Research
Laboratory, but I'm not going to
and we got a lot more than we
can discuss. In the Systems
Directorate, dealing
specifically with autonomy and
air systems. Yes, the military
wants to sell flying planes. But
it's going to take many, many
years because every single one
of these this is our government.
This is our military industrial
complex. They want this but oh,
we can't make that happen fast.
Because every single one of the
systems are made of different
solutions that have developed
been developed by different
directorates reach different
contractors. And on different
stages of completion. There's no
agreed upon spec for interface
or communication between any of
the systems. So it's, it's a
boondoggle. But they created a
cool video. Get everybody all
excited about
John C Dvorak: boondoggle isn't
boondoggle.
Adam Curry: It is a super loss
John C Dvorak: because you don't
have people with technical
enough skills at the top that
can say, hey, no, you got to do
it this way. No, we can't have
these. No, just develop No, just
a classical just No, it'd be
great. But the classic trick
would be IBM has technique of
doing to no more than two
parallel developments and then
picking one they would do just
says how the PC came about,
Adam Curry: please. Oh, is that
that's how the PC came about.
Yeah. You call me a Luddite the
other day on the show?
John C Dvorak: Oh, does that
finally gotten to you remember?
Adam Curry: Well, I heard it,
but then I was like, Chet GPT.
What does it look like? What
does a Luddite and this stems
from? The textile area era,
John C Dvorak: the Jacquard
weave the lace frames, I guess.
Yeah, it's
Adam Curry: right. Where to
bring it in the the or the the
automated looms? Is that what
you'd call them?
John C Dvorak: Jack card, I
believe this sort of, and
product
Adam Curry: to kids arms were
getting chopped off and stuff.
Were working in there. And it
was, you know, so they say, they
went in and they and they busted
up all of the machines.
John C Dvorak: They broke them
threw a wrench in the works.
Adam Curry: As always that where
that comes from a wrench in the
works, I believe. So. The
Luddites? Yeah, yeah, these
John C Dvorak: people are called
I don't know where the word
Luddite stems from some guy
named John lead or something.
I'm not sure. But I don't
remember. I didn't look it up.
But yeah, there's there are
people that will generally push
back there are people that put
appeal that push back against
what was going on, and I think
they were justified, you should
have taken it as a compliment.
Adam Curry: I do now now that
I've seen it, by the way while I
was looking around. Do you know
what the word algorithm comes
from?
John C Dvorak: No, I don't to
say that. No,
Adam Curry: it is. It is a word
that was shaped after a Persian
mathematician who first came up
with the idea of these rules
based mathematics. And his name
sounds like algorithms like aka
dragonrider or something like
that. But then when I'm messing
around, I look up algos. The
Greek word for algos. He's
literally pain and suffering. I
thought that was that is
interesting, kind of poetic. You
know, that's kind
John C Dvorak: of our show in a
nutshell.
Adam Curry: Pain and suffering.
Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Danny will talk
about pain and suffering. Yes.
Nice transit. I have some clips
on there. RFK Jr. Up. Oh, I
Adam Curry: have an email.
John C Dvorak: Oh, well, I
wonder if the clip should be
like the two clips would go and
then the email. Yeah, sure.
Let's do this. It's a three
parter. It's actually two parter
plus a kicker. The kicker is
only seven seconds. But there's
two partners. But he's opened up
a headquarters and he's getting
taking it very seriously. And
he's, I think they've stayed. I
think we're at the beginning of
stage two
Unknown: RFK Jr. His campaign
appears to be gaining momentum
his team just open up a new
headquarters in New Jersey.
There the presidential candidate
explained to him he'll help
Americans and quote, drain the
swamp. And it is Jason Perry
attended the grand opening.
I believe President Trump wanted
to drain this off, but he just
didn't know how I know how to do
it.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Democratic
presidential candidates spoke at
his newly opened campaign office
in Elizabeth, New Jersey. And he
said this about Trump
and he appointed Scott Gottlieb,
Pfizer's partner business
partner to run the FDA and
Godley went in there and did an
$88 billion favor from Pfizer.
The joint
board then RFK Jr, explained how
he knows how to, quote drain the
swamp.
Companies I've seen all of these
agents do, FCC, USDA, EPA, NIH,
CDC, FDA, and when you sue them
corporate capture is a term
which refers to regulatory
agencies being dominated or
influenced by the industries
they are supposed to regulate.
And he explained how the
relationship between the US
military and the defense
industry also known as the
military industrial complex has
affected average Americans.
Adam Curry: Wow, what station
called it the military
industrial complex. What station
was that? And TD Oh, okay. No
wonder as I said, No, no
American station would do that.
John C Dvorak: No, you can't
anymore. So he's got the he's,
he's, I thought it was
interesting that what he's doing
is he's stealing Trump's thunder
for drain the swamp. Yeah.
Saying that. I you know, it's a
great idea. But Trump couldn't
do it. I can, which is another
words he's got no, Trump's no
good. And then he then he has
some comment about Gottlieb how
Trump got suckered the way he
isn't. It's implied that he got
suckered into putting this guy
into this the head of the CDC or
whatever it was time of. Or FDA
can't remember FDA. But yeah,
FDA. And then so he's, he's,
he's so interesting. He's, he's
complimenting Trump for the
ideas. But he can't impeach.
He's not no good at
implementation. We're as I am,
because that's what I've been
doing as a lawyer. Very
interesting trick, which is well
thought out, it's to
Adam Curry: me fits right in
with the idea Trump wins.
Kennedy becomes Attorney
General.
John C Dvorak: That I can't put
it I have no evidence that
you're wrong at all, so I can't
argue against you. Part Two.
Unknown: He also highlighted the
war in Ukraine, noting that by
March of this year, the US had
approved $113 billion in aid to
Ukraine.
And that's the way we cut
Medicare in this country. By we
took the 30 million people who
15 million people from Medicare
and we cut 30 million people 30
million Americans food stamps
from $283 a month to $23 a
month, drive at yourself on $23
a month.
Kennedy also pointed out in that
same month, the government
provided a $300 billion bailout
to banks. And then he explained
what he's going to do for
Americans. And given that over
the past two years, housing
prices have gone up
significantly. And mortgage
interest rates have more than
doubled from about 3% to 7%.
We kicked off great prosperity
in this country that 50 years
and you know economists and
social scientists, when we
became the richest country on
Earth. We started with a housing
boom. As soon as I get into
office under launch another
housing boom, I'm going to issue
a new class of mortgages or for
3%. I'm going to finance that by
selling treasury bills and 3%.
Tax Free market will pay for
the Senate. He just laid out his
economic plan here in his newly
opened New Jersey campaign
headquarters, and he stayed
after his speech to take selfies
with everyone.
Adam Curry: I don't like his
plan. It doesn't sound good.
John C Dvorak: But then
something good about it. He says
Adam Curry: he's going to sell
bonds at 3% which is kind of
below every other bond.
John C Dvorak: Tax Free those
big difference is
Adam Curry: and he's going to
create loans at a 3% rate.
John C Dvorak: Which it just was
a few years ago by itself.
Adam Curry: Right and what I
mean, why don't we stop? We put
a cap on
John C Dvorak: the price
controls
Adam Curry: on price controls.
Yes. Do you think it's a good
idea? I'm asking.
John C Dvorak: I don't know if
it's a good idea or not, I
haven't looked really tried to
figure it out whether it is not
like the market doing its own
thing personally. Yeah. But the,
the OP is complete, because now
we know NTDs may talk about
regulatory cap capture. This is
a little sub clip here, a little
clip at the end. Tell me NTDs
not in on the OP.
Unknown: If you want to watch
Kennedy's full speech, you can
visit mtv.com. some very sad
news, New Jersey. This is in di
D.
John C Dvorak: There the front,
the front news organization for
the opp. That will keep an eye
on
Adam Curry: that someone's got
to do it. So somehow I wound up
on the email list for all the
Zoom calls of Kennedy. What is
it? It's called? People for
Kennedy. So this is his ground
game.
John C Dvorak: Wonder how you
got on that list? I didn't get
on it.
Adam Curry: And it's you know,
they're very, yeah, exactly.
They want to put you on it. And
here's the latest to the
fearless believers, passionate,
changemakers and motivated
citizens who make up people for
Kennedy, while we get placed our
outreach on a bit of a hold as
we were waiting for our
candidate and the campaign to
make some critical decisions. It
looks like planning behind the
scenes for an independent run
was the exact right call. Yes.
Our people for Kennedy
leadership team has been busy
behind the scenes preparing for
the independent run. And there's
a call today for pm Pacific.
John C Dvorak: Now, do we know
that this is official? Or is
this off the books? Is this
Kennedy has anything to do with
this? Do we know?
Adam Curry: We don't know. But
there's a lot of people who
apparently are on these calls.
And and you know, I I think
there's still a flair for the
DNC saying hey, you know, I'm
pretty serious about this
independent, independent party.
If you don't let me in if you
don't, don't play fair with me.
This may be a last ditch, you
know, like last last call, like
come on.
John C Dvorak: I don't think
it's the last call. But
definitely a shot across the
bow.
Adam Curry: Well, they're saying
that it's coming a week earlier
than they thought it would be.
People, people for Kennedy make
people for kennedy.com number
for him. You see people number
four kennedy.com. They must be
just a bunch of groupies. I'm
not sure
John C Dvorak: it could be the
Republicans who knows.
Adam Curry: Speaking of. So,
while I don't I really don't
know what's happening while
Kennedy is doing that, saying
I'm gonna take down I'm gonna
sue the CDC and FDA and the EPA
and the FBI and I'm going to
restructure the CIA. Here's
Trump, here's Trump and
California at the GOP convention
Unknown: and we will immediately
stop all of the pillaging and
theft very simply. If you rob a
store, you can fully expect to
be shot as you are leaving that
shot.
Adam Curry: What is this? Why is
he doing this? I mean to genius.
John C Dvorak: Do you think
that's he's got a lot of
attention from everybody and
their sister and got a big round
of applause at the convention.
And it's it's it's funny.
Adam Curry: Unless you're the
one stealing
John C Dvorak: well, don't steal
you only get shot. Yeah, but
that's
Adam Curry: when they when the
people were the umbrellas during
the George Floyd Gambit when
they broke the windows on all
the stores. That's what kicked
it off. I met I talked to moe
about this. He says this is not
going to this is not going to
subside. It's only going to get
worse. only going to get worse.
Me You see Philadelphia earlier
in the week. Yeah, I mean that
was a mess. Yeah, the looting.
And it was for another another
person shot. And then you know
this instantly using
John C Dvorak: any excuse,
instigators there's all kinds
Adam Curry: of stuff going on.
This was this was something from
Trump's speech I thought was
quite funny. It take
Unknown: you to shower they're
told to hurry up you're only
allowed a small amount of water
when they take issue. That's why
rich people from Beverly Hills
generally speaking don't smell
so good. Typically, never notice
inadequate. Their hygiene is not
Good, but it's forced to be that
way. So when you meet somebody
with a beautiful house in
Beverly Hills, you know, that
person is sort of disgusting
under
Adam Curry: that I like that's,
that's
John C Dvorak: developing and
that's that's a rewrite of his
old material about the not
enough water comes out you can't
wet your hair.
Adam Curry: But what's
interesting is it actually falls
into line into a weird way with
the World Economic Forum, the
new messaging for climate
change. And there's this woman,
what is her name? She is let me
see I have her here. She is
Mariana mazzucato. And she is a
climate change. She's an agenda
contributor, now you go. So
she's in marketing. And she's
complaining about how they
sucked it at getting everybody
in the world vaccinated, then we
have to have different messaging
for climate change. Now, that's
also
Unknown: of course, too, with
COVID. Right? We are all only as
healthy as our neighbors on our
street and our city, and our
region and our nation. And
globally. Did we solve that?
Like, did we actually manage to
vaccinate everyone in the world?
No. So highlighting water is a
global commons and what it means
to work together and see it both
out of that kind of global
commons perspective, but also
the self interest perspective,
because it is, it does have that
parallel. It's not only
important, but it's also
important because we haven't
managed to solve those problems,
which had similar attributes.
And water is something that
people understand. You know,
climate change is a bit
abstract. Some people understand
it really well. Some understand
it a bit. Some just don't
understand water. Every kid
knows how important it is to
have water when you're playing
football, and you're thirsty,
you need water. So there's also
something about really getting
citizen engagement around this
and really, in some ways,
experimenting with this notion
of the common good. Can we
actually deliver this time in
ways that we have failed
miserably? Other times, and
hopefully, we won't keep failing
on the other things, but anyway,
Adam Curry: you know, this kind
of woman?
Unknown: Oh, the worst?
Adam Curry: Yes. Well, we failed
miserably. Do we actually, were
able to vaccinate every person
on the wall? Wow. So climate
change, people don't care.
They're proud to just say we're
not gonna have any water. That's
what are you saying?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, she's a
creep.
Adam Curry: And they should hire
the curry Devorah Consulting
Group. We know how to do it.
John C Dvorak: We could
definitely do better than her.
Adam Curry: So
John C Dvorak: I've got I got a
kind of a tribute series of
clips that might be worth
playing now tribute.
Adam Curry: Oh, okay. Yeah. All
right. I'd like tributes.
John C Dvorak: This is a tribute
to the moms for liberty.
Adam Curry: Really, how are they
doing? You know, when I'm mayor
of Fredericksburg and let them
run the city. That's That's my
plan. That's my platform.
John C Dvorak: That's right,
which I we've talked about off
off like,
Adam Curry: yeah, this off my
there's calls for me to be to
run for mayor. There's actual
calls. Yes,
John C Dvorak: I'm calling for
it.
Adam Curry: I just do a podcast
with you every morning. You say
hey, how's it going in
Fredericksburg? Well, let me
tell you, John. Hello? Caller
Yeah, my trash didn't get picked
up. Oh, okay.
John C Dvorak: That is kind of
the drawback to the
Adam Curry: job. Where's my bin?
John C Dvorak: They stole my
bin.
Adam Curry: All right, mom's for
liberty. All right. I like my
food. Oh, no, what's happening?
John C Dvorak: So they had the
head of the moms for liberty. I
believe this is NTD. Is this the
naturals would then bring their
mom's brother because they have
chapters.
Adam Curry: It's all individual
chatter. This
John C Dvorak: is but just the
national. Okay. And I think this
is worth there's three part clip
and I think it's worth listening
to what she has to say
Unknown: is there a connection
between the Justice Department's
targeting of a parental advocacy
group and the Southern Poverty
Law Center's designating one
prominent group as extremist. We
speak with a co founder of moms
for Liberty about the many
challenges facing parents who
want a stronger voice and their
children's education. Tiffany
justice, thank you so much for
joining us.
Thank you for having me today.
Really appreciate it. Tiffany.
To begin the Heritage Foundation
is suing the FBI and DOJ on your
behalf mom's for liberty, what
are they trying to find out
here?
Yeah, we're trying to find out
what is the SPLC talking about
moms for Liberty about me and
the co founder Tina desk KOVITCH
with the Biden administration,
and it seems like the answer is
yes. Apparently they have
something to hide because they
haven't replied to any of the
requests for information.
And why do you suspect the FBI
DOJ or the Biden administration
is acting on the SPLC whose
behalf
you know, when COVID hit parents
had a lot Have questions right?
Their schools were shut down and
they were speaking out, they
were very concerned about what
they were seeing taught to their
children. And they asked a lot
of questions. And I think what
we saw was a reaction by the
teachers union, the National
School Board Association to go
to the DOJ. Right, and to
instigate some action on the
Biden administration to protect
them. The truth is only three in
10 children in America are
reading on grade level. And I
have to be honest, I think it's
something that the education
industrial complex really wants
to hide.
Adam Curry: Well, there was a
lot in there, who's suing who?
John C Dvorak: There's a well,
the moms for Liberty, liberty
are suing for information
regarding the fact that they
were put on a terrorist watch
list. And they believe it's
because of the Southern Poverty
Law Center who doesn't like
them? Oh,
Adam Curry: douchebags. Of
course. Yeah. What happened? We
John C Dvorak: know that not
everybody knows that. Not
everybody knows.
Adam Curry: Such a cool name of
Southern Poverty Law Center, the
good people. I mean, that's like
one one hour cleaner.
John C Dvorak: Exactly. By the
way, like the fact that this
woman's name is Tiffany justice.
It's a good name. You think is a
great name. Okay.
Adam Curry: Hey, everybody,
Tiffany justice in the morning.
Here's the weather.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's a good
morning zoo name. Good, WW II
name. And now? Definitely,
justice,
Unknown: justice. And so what
has been the fallout on your
group, especially after the SPLC
added your group to this hate
and extremism report?
Yeah, they put a target on the
backs of American moms and dads,
there are people citing the SPLC
designation and trying to use it
to hurt us to cancel us to docs
us to shut us down to threaten
us to justify violence in many
times being suggested. And it's
concerning to us. And, you know,
we know what the SPLC
designation has done with other
groups in the past. And there's
no doubt that it was meant to
try to damage our reputation and
our ability to be Americans and
to have our voice heard, which
is our constitutional right.
And TIF now I want to cite
something you wrote. So you said
that exercising our free speech
rights to attend public school
board meetings that decide how
our public schools operate is
not extremism, it is American.
So how does the criticism that
you all have received kind of
reflects society's changing view
on parents goals in their
children's education?
The idea that parents getting
involved in their children's
education is somehow anti
government or extremists is just
ridiculous. American parents
want to have their voice heard
at that very local level. And we
endorsed in over 500 School
Board races in 2022. And over
275 candidates were elected to
school board office in 76%. Of
those Tiffany, were first time
candidates. So what you see is a
whole new group of people
getting involved in American
politics, and I think it's
making the people in power.
Very, very scared.
Adam Curry: This is exactly what
they're doing. Because you know,
it is the moms for Liberty
people who are like, yeah, he
should be mayor. Come on, come
on. You can do it.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they're
their political activist. But I
think
Adam Curry: this is not a good
idea. You know, you want your
message to not be bold, there.
Daxing. Us. That's what's going
to happen. You need to go into
you need to carry firearms, you
know, you they need to get more
radical, I think.
John C Dvorak: The homes for
liberty with guns.
Adam Curry: Oh, hello. Yeah.
It's just, it's just the
thought. It's used
John C Dvorak: the third part.
Yeah.
Unknown: And as we head into the
2024, election season, education
has become a huge issue for all
sides. What do you see as the
solution here,
more parents getting involved,
more community conversations
happening? We just had a town
hall in Montgomery County,
Maryland, we had Jewish parents,
Christian parents, Mormon
parents, Muslim parents coming
together to talk about how we
move forward to protect our kids
that you know, you unifying
parents around parental rights
is what's going to save this
country at Mom's for Liberty, we
believe that and we're going to
keep bringing parents together
across the country.
Adam Curry: That's interesting
that that now, of course, she
mentions all these different
religious groups, but they're
all parents. This is happening
worldwide. This there is a
trend. And this is a clip that I
got last week. This is Belgium,
Belgium of all places. Listen to
what's going on there and see if
you can find the common common
theme
Unknown: since the start of the
school year. These five letters
have ignited tensions in
Belgium. of Ross the French
acronym meaning education and
relational emotional and sexual
life is an educational workshop
proposed to be given in schools
that's provoked the anger of
these demonstrators, Muslims,
fundamentalist Catholics and
conspiracy theorists have joined
together to demand the
suppression of these workshops.
teach our children if you're a
boy, but believe in your head
that you're a girl. You can
become a girl we'll
live it Concerns are so strong
that several schools have been
set on fire in Belgium over the
past few weeks ago disapproves
of such vandalism. But he says
as a Muslim, he doesn't want his
children to receive this
teaching before.
One of us it's a big problem to
be forced to accept something
that we cannot accept. It
doesn't just concern the Arab
and Muslim jaspera. In the last
demonstration, there were also
many Europeans
have the tools used in schools
come from family planning
programs, their director has
agreed to show us the equipment
used equipment here, I
have a booklet that allows you
to talk about the issue of
periods.
It's a way for her to counter
the misinformation about these
workshops, especially on the
question of gender.
There's a lot of confusion. When
we talk about gender, there's
already the question of gender
stereotypes. It's important to
address when it comes to
equality. transition issues,
obviously, no one is going to
child transition to
Adam Curry: you right, not yet.
But so you hear the same thing.
Before almost
John C Dvorak: identical it
sounds like a story from around
Illinois or some places like a
worldwide phenomenon. That is
orchestrated,
Adam Curry: yes. Oh, yeah. Oh,
it's just like it's all
globalist stuff. I thought it
was interesting Muslims, radical
Catholics, and conspiracy
theorists. Just religion is that
all
John C Dvorak: the shame? Throw
them all.
Adam Curry: But and then they're
the little you know, in little
Belgium, they've lightened the
schools on fire.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's
probably the way to do it. Not
we're not a fight about your gun
toting moms for liberty and
under light the school on fire
is probably not if I'm
Adam Curry: mayor, not gonna be
lightened no schools on fire.
No. No, I think we have to do
this now.
Back, Ben, everybody, COVID is
still with us. And there's
trouble in paradise trouble in
paradise. We've got a problem. I
don't know if you heard. But
these, these free shots are not
free. And I shall go back to a
couple of weeks ago when we had
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former FDA
administrator now on the board
of Pfizer, and what's the
alumina? alumina? Illuminati,
Illuminati, he's on the board of
the Illuminati. This is what he
said a couple of weeks ago.
Unknown: What's different as we
go into the fall back to school
is that the federal government
emergency programs have largely
stopped. So people have to
actually plan getting their
vaccine, you can't get them for
free everywhere. How is that
going to impact what the season
looks like ahead?
Yeah, so insurers are going to
cover these vaccines in the same
way they cover flu vaccines for
people who have insurance for
people who are underinsured or
uninsured, the administration
has a program where people are
going to be able to get these
for free at pharmacies, that
program should be up and running
by the time these vaccines
become available. And they'll
also be free of charge at
federally qualified community
health centers and also public
health departments day one. So
they should be widely it doesn't
mean there's not going to be
gaps in coverage and people who
face certain hardships but
broadly BrahMos people should be
able to get these free of charge
without a copay based on what
I'm seeing right now from the
insurance companies
Adam Curry: so free it should be
free basically. So they're doing
a deal so at the time they were
doing a deal hey, look, we gotta
have these free we got to we got
to get this all jacked up. We
gotta we gotta get people free
free boosters free but Oh,
saline. Dr. Celine, this seems
like you have a problem.
Alright, so
Unknown: some people are having
trouble with the updated
COVID-19 vaccine being approved
by their insurance, what's going
on there.
So you've had a transition from
the US government providing the
COVID vaccine to now business as
usual, which means the private
sector. And so there have been a
number of glitches with
insurance billing codes,
shipping a vaccines, which has
led to a lot of problems. If you
have private insurance, whether
it's private Medicare, Medicaid,
you should have your free
vaccine. no cost to you. It's
covered by insurance since
September 11. But because of
these glitches, there have been
some issues. You may want to
wait until early to mid October
just for these things to get
ironed out. If you do get your
vaccine now. You may need to
resubmit or appeal a denial, but
you should get it for free.
Adam Curry: The no agenda show
always gets very suspicious when
we hear the term glitch.
Unknown: Yes,
shut up about the glitch.
Adam Curry: I think something
happened. I think there's
something with the vaccines.
They can't ship them out. They
don't have enough. They want
people to wait. So Something is
up. glitches are bullcrap. But
the computer systems don't work
now is that the glitch?
John C Dvorak: So they're
blaming the fact that they're
not so they're making some just
another is a phony story. You're
as you're making the claim that
there there is no. The vaccine
might not be available might not
be working. It might be
something wrong with it. There
may be a million things wrong,
but they're blaming insurance or
creating a smokescreen? Yes. A
glitch in terms of using the
word glitch. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Very suspicious.
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: probably. Yeah,
there's no reason for this sort
of thing.
Adam Curry: And then the
covering it up with the other
free stuff, which we know but
these clips are still worth
listening to it later into the
fall here. We might be looking
at another buddy Hey, yo, we got
we got football seasons coming
up. You know, we got, you know,
close down baseball. But yeah,
we're coming to the ball COVID
seasons here
Unknown: later into the fall
here and we might be looking at
another COVID surge in the not
so distant future not
Adam Curry: so distant future.
Why is he puking at me like
this, the federal government
Unknown: is once again offering
free home test kits to
Americans. And for more on this,
we are joined by CBS News
Medical contributor, Dr. Celine
gounder, who is also editor at
large public health pff. Dr.
gounder, thank you very much for
being here. So free COVID test
once again. Why now.
So as of yesterday, COVID
test.gov is up and running
again, the government wants to
make sure everybody every
household has tests on hand head
of the holidays, because you
have people of different
generations who are coming
together close together over the
holidays. So it's a risk for
grandma, grandpa, we just want
to make sure that people know if
they have COVID and might be
infectious to others
Adam Curry: to grandma. Okay, so
now Now, this is the other
problem, which is there's not a
lot of answers coming out of the
doctor. A lot of
Unknown: us have those tests
stockpiled and some of them have
expired. Sometimes with food,
sometimes there's medication
even though it's expired, you
can still eat it. Effective.
So the FDA has extended
expiration dates on the tests.
There's actually information
about this on the CBS morning's
dot com website. You can look up
your specific brand and see if
yours is still valid. No,
John C Dvorak: yeah, Horowitz
bitched about this because he
wanted to get some tests. And he
went to the website and on the
website, it said, Hey, these
tests probably have an
expiration date. That's that's
already shows they're expired.
But no, we've extended it.
Adam Curry: And when asked when
pressed on it, so what is what
is the date? You can't really
answer?
Unknown: I heard you say that. I
know. We can look it up. But if
we don't feel like looking it
up, is there a certain time if
it's two weeks late, if it's
that the expired tests? Were a
month late? Two months late? Do
you happen to know?
Yeah, I mean, two weeks a month
later is not an issue. But you
really don't want to be using
it.
Adam Curry: Just make it up?
Yeah, two weeks for goat's milk.
You can still drink that a
Unknown: month late. Two months
late. Do you want to know? Yeah,
I
mean, two weeks a month later is
not an issue. But you really
don't want to be using it way
beyond the extended expiration
date
Adam Curry: way beyond what does
this mean
John C Dvorak: way be extended?
Go back. It's not gonna hurt
you.
Unknown: Got it. Thank you very
much. Appreciate it.
Adam Curry: I mean, a valid
question, a journalistic
question, which you can expect
from CBS mornings would be well,
if they're expired, what
happens? Do they give you faulty
results? They give you false
positives, false negatives.
These are the questions the
American people deserve to have.
Exactly. That's the exact
question you'd ask but the the
fact that they're not tells me
something what
John C Dvorak: happens when they
expire? Do they not work at all?
Or do they just make everything
you know false answers or these
are the typically happens, by
the way, these are chemical
tests. It seems to me that the
reagents used and everything in
between is lifelong stuff that
should go for years and years
and years. It's not a budget as
far as I know, it's not a bunch
of sketchy organic compounds
that are going to react to you
know prematurely and and become
useless or peroxides that are
gonna blow up the test like they
Adam Curry: were good to begin
with. It would they wouldn't
well there's that these tests
are not real they don't really
know these are these are
John C Dvorak: the I think you
should repackage them as
pregnancy tests.
Adam Curry: There's an idea
gender reveal tests anything
just There you go. It's a boy
doesn't matter. You can become a
girl later if you feel like
that. Depends on what your what
what you choose. Update on the
Russell Brand situation although
it has quieted down a little
bit. But as predict Did the
going after rumble This is
John C Dvorak: dangerous rumble
Adam Curry: very dangerous. And
they're also and rumble also
owns locals which Oh it does
Yeah, which is grand grand Green
Road Glenn Greenwald's outfit,
you know, the one that he got
stuck for and moved from
substack. And here we have an
outfit called the news movement
who seemed they look like
volunteers, but their website
looks a lot like the Global
Coalition for tech justice.
There's a lot of money going
after big tech, but really
problematic platforms like
rumble. And so they feign as a
news organization, and if you're
a news organization and Russell
Brand is on is on. Rumble, what
do you do? You You know how
journalism works? What do you
do? Who are you going to go
interview what are the questions
you want to ask? A writer? No,
John C Dvorak: but you develop a
hit piece? Yeah,
Unknown: we're in the midst of a
crisis sorry,
this netplay this one first
massive brands including Burger
King, a source London's Barbican
Centre, and HelloFresh have
pulled advertising from Russell
Brand's rumble channel three of
the companies removed their ads
from rumble altogether after the
news movement found they were
appearing alongside brands
videos Burger King has paused
advertising on brands channel
while broadcasters and police
look at claims of rape and
sexual assault against him brand
has a huge audience on rumble
with over 1.4 million followers.
There's been concerned about the
increasing discussion of
conspiracy theories and his
videos. The comedian's been
accused of rape and sexual
assault against four women. He
denies the claims to them
approach other brands including
Ralph Lauren, eBay and Hilton
Hotels whose ads all appeared on
brand's channel but none of the
reply to request for comment
YouTube suspended as from his
channel on their site for
allegedly violating create
policies and the BBC has removed
some shows brand made while
working there. Burger King said
the company had paused all
advertising while investigations
into the allegations of ongoing
Asus declined to comment but TNM
understands the company removed
their ads this week. HelloFresh
said thanks for pointing this
out to us. We have manually
removed our ads from rump the
barber consent, we've now asked
our media agency to exclude this
site from where our ads appear.
Rabu has said it doesn't plan to
remove ads from branded content
altogether. But it hasn't
replied to requests for comment.
Google and brand himself have
yet to reply to us either.
Adam Curry: So they just went to
all the advertisers and said,
Hey, do you know your
advertising next to this
horrible conspiracy theorists,
so called rapists? What's the
brand? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: by the way, the
charge has been filed on his
rapes?
Adam Curry: I don't think so.
No, of course not. You know, the
media are not allowed to speak
about this as a gag order. And
you can be sued by the by the
British government, if you
interfere with their possible
maybe investigation because it's
still, you know, kind of kind of
iffy if they're going to do
anything. But they literally
said you cannot report on this
Russell Brand issue on this
particular part about the rapes.
Because if you do, then you may
be seen as interfering in an
investigation and you can be
hauled into into court, by the
government. Yeah. How does that
work?
John C Dvorak: They do that
stuff all the time in the UK.
Adam Curry: That is, wow. Magna
Carta be damned. No freedom of
speech. It's the model is the
model of the future. Yeah, for
sure. And so here's this global
coalition for tech justice, and
they're all up in arms
Unknown: were in the midst of a
crisis, and every second counts.
2024 is a make or break year for
democracy and freedoms globally,
as over 2 billion people are due
to vote in 65 elections across
the world. But we worry our
social media companies ready for
the election tsunami. Will they
stop online disinformation, hate
and abuse spilling over into
real world violence? They
happened in the past capitol. Do
you remember
Adam Curry: this guy? The
showing the shaman guy
Unknown: he's done the US
Capitol with a mob of history?
No.
Adam Curry: They literally say
so they show the shaman guy that
highlight him in the video and
then say like he he led the
insurrection.
Unknown: Do you remember this
guy? He stormed the US Capitol
with he said he stormed Yeah, I
don't know Trump supporters in
2021 after Trump refused to
concede the feet in the
presidential race. Two years
later, supporters of President
Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil also
attacked government buildings in
the lead up to the attacks.
Social media was flooded with
this information about the
legitimacy of the votes uncalled
for violence. This happens in
stable democracies. And before
Silicon Valley giants, that
staff meant to keep their
platform face to cup costs.
These are not isolated cases,
big tech companies have a track
record of allowing abuses and
undermining democracy, and 2024
will pose the biggest risk yet
to people and elections with
social media at its most
powerful investments and
platform safety should be
proportionate to the risk of
harm nots market size. Companies
must address this gross
inequality. But they invested
billions to protect the US
elections and neglected global
majority countries where they
pose a serious risk to rights
and freedoms in 2024. The clock
is ticking. Big tech protects
people under elections.
Adam Curry: So yeah,
John C Dvorak: what the hell was
Adam Curry: that? So what
they're claiming, is
John C Dvorak: that all names,
give me the name of this
operation again,
Adam Curry: oh, it's a sore.
Surprise, that all leads to
sorrows, the global or the open.
Open Institute, global coalition
for tech justice for Operation
Ford Foundation Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation's Open Society
Institute, they
John C Dvorak: should all be
ashamed of themselves for
letting something like that get
produced under their auspices.
Adam Curry: Yes, yes. Don't you
think? Yeah, I agree. I agree.
And, but you know, so what
they're saying now is, oh, it's
all the tech companies and they
fired all of their, their trust
and safety staff. And it's all
there. They didn't know that.
That's what they that's what
they're saying. Literally,
they're saying, Oh, no, they,
they want to cut costs.
John C Dvorak: And well, that's
for sure.
Adam Curry: And in France,
they're going they're taking a
page out of our playbook from
the Obama days, because we know
how this started. Just Just to
reiterate, all of this started
with bullying. For at least two
years, we had reports about oh,
kids get bullied, they're
getting bullied as bullying at
school and bullying. And I know
this because we kept saying how
we grew up sticks and stone and
we were not even from the same
generation sticks and stones
will break my bones but names
will never hurt me. You know,
you got to stand up to the
bullies. But no, what do we get?
We got bullying laws. Which were
inherently unconstitutional.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, anti free
speech. Yeah. But we got local
Adam Curry: laws. And now
they're just ratcheting it up.
And now now we got to do this in
France.
Unknown: The new measures will
include citizen training courses
for bullies. serious cases could
be referred directly to
prosecutors, that the worst
bullies could end up in prison.
There'll be a new bullying
hotline and November the ninth
will become a national anti
bullying day. Government is
promising school children it
means to protect them.
The whole class schedule Shambo
effect on your classes to your
bedrooms, sometimes 24 hours a
day on social networks for you
bullying is everywhere and all
of the time. The mobilization
must be universal. Everyone has
a role to play with all my
government, we stand with you
and will fight relentlessly
against bullying.
school bullying hit the
headlines earlier this month
with the suicide of a 15 year
old boy known as Nicholas. He
attended this school near Paris
and only moved there this term
after being bullied at his
previous school. The tragedy
shocked France. It was also
revealed that local education
authorities sent a threatening
letter to Nicholas his parents
after they complained about the
bullying. Days later, President
Emmanuel Macron his wife
Bridgette, a former teacher, at
the local town hall to talk to
local officials, and then spent
time with Nicholas his family.
Bullying in French schools is a
growing problem with the recent
poll indicating 14% of children
have suffered some form of
harassment at school.
Adam Curry: Bullying harassment
I grew up with nothing I had to
rats the wrong hair the wrong
shoes, stupid blue jeans,
John C Dvorak: ad dumb.
Adam Curry: Ad dumb Where's Eve
I was bullied by the way. Girls
beat me up
John C Dvorak: until you told me
that the ad DME moniker that you
received in this Dutch schools.
I never heard of that gag in my
entire life.
Adam Curry: Ah, well, you don't
know a lot about atoms,
John C Dvorak: that we had atoms
in our schools, but no one that
little bit, uh, never eluded me,
I guess or eluded us. But
Adam Curry: what I mean, we just
we need to, people need to stop
this. How about suck it up?
John C Dvorak: Well, here's the
thing about that one kid who
killed himself. He had to be
someone must have been somewhat
suicidal bear in mind. He quit
the school because he was being
bullied there immediately goes
to another school where he's
immediately bullied. But is
there a bully underground
network or something? Where
you'd say, hey, Bill's coming
over there. And he's gonna He's
been bullied over here. So make
sure you bully. Ah, so
something's up with that story.
Adam Curry: Well, it's the
control messaging is to control
what Silicon Valley messaging is
doing. We need to go back to RSS
people. Bring, bring?
John C Dvorak: The answer to
everything is the oh,
Adam Curry: look, podcasting is
still free and available.
John C Dvorak: Until No, and
there's no
Adam Curry: there's no until we
even have ways where you don't
need a hosting company. You can
just throw it on IPFS it lives
out there. And the
interplanetary file system. This
is this has all been taken into
account. There's no way they can
never take down podcasting. But
people need to go back to blogs.
You know, Google hates RSS so
much. What was the most popular
RSS product? Google Reader? They
love Google Reader.
John C Dvorak: Everybody loves
Google Reader. Yeah,
Adam Curry: it was like, you
know, email for blogs. And you
could Yeah, it was great. Yeah.
And then they shut it down where
they do. Google Plus their own
died, of course, because the
stupid and now they're closing
down Google podcasts. Why RSS?
What are they? What are they
going to give you in return? Oh,
you can put it down in YouTube
music. Yeah. Will ingest your
RSS? Uh huh.
John C Dvorak: I don't know why
they have such a hard on for RSS
Adam Curry: because they can't
control it. And they can they
can
John C Dvorak: algo control a
lot of stuff.
Adam Curry: Maybe they're
scared? How about that? Maybe
they're scared or something that
people actually will use and
like, and have control over? How
about that? They need. They need
to keep tricking people into
staying. If you're on Instagram,
and the and the algo. See that
member pain and suffering. The
algo see that you're about to
close the app. They shoot you
five likes, oh, you got five
likes? Oh, cool. Check it out
real quick. How about if your
kids being bullied? How about
how about No, no phones in the
school?
John C Dvorak: Get off the apps.
Somebody was I don't have the
clip. But it was one of the old
clips where we didn't play as
somebody's talking about I think
it was Kennedy or somebody else
saying, well, he's getting a lot
of flack for on the social
media, but he doesn't care
because he's not on the social
media. Exactly. You know, if
you're not on the social media,
it's not gonna have any effect
on you. And people aren't even
gonna do it because well, you
know, you're let's bully her.
Well, she doesn't she won't ever
read it. So what difference does
it make I got other things to do
with my time.
Adam Curry: There was a guy
yesterday. He was from Nashville
and done a lot with with
Nashville music companies and
work for Dave Ramsey. And, you
know, all these people knew knew
a lot about social media and
algorithms. And he says if you
have 100,000 followers, and you
want you want to send out a
message, do you know what
percentage you will actually
reach? Because the algos don't
really send it to your
followers? Do you know what the
percentages is? Shocking?
John C Dvorak: Got to be less
than 10% Four point 93 It sounds
right. And I think i i
empirically figured this out
myself by messaging. I'm seeing
the effects of messaging on
Twitter when I had 10,000
followers in the early days and
I have 100,000 followers now
Yeah. And I would get good at
the same thing with Macedon I
get good responses to a
suggestion or a link and I get
almost nothing when I do it on
Twitter now with 100,000 now
there's no dare I'd seen it.
Nobody's saying anything.
Adam Curry: So everybody's now
move including was specifically
mentioned that MailChimp is
going to be offering SMS text
service so that you can then
send the newsletter, a guest
with a link to people's phone.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I don't
have any I didn't collect
numbers. I'm sorry. I don't have
numbers to send it to.
Adam Curry: No, no, no, I
understand. But I'm just saying
that that's where the because
email has been so suppressed us
to redemptions we can bet we
could. This is what is RSS is
just email by subscription. But
now we have to we have to To go
with the with the with the
MailChimp system, but now people
are using text messaging more
and more. Guess what Apple's
gonna come in, they're gonna
have all kinds of filters and
algos, so your AI message will
stop anything from coming in
that they deem Matic.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I have to
have two clips. Okay. Kind of on
the topic. Alright, teens phones
one who
Unknown: teens are distracted by
around 237 phone notifications
per day. According to a new
report from Common Sense Media.
Of the 200 teens who
participated, many got over 500
notifications. 1/4 of these
notifications came during school
hours, the team's done looked at
their phones for an average of
43 minutes, some for as long as
six hours that kids would check
their phones over 100 times per
day on average, some saying they
struggled to put them down,
she may receive 150 snaps in a
day, if not more. There's a
constant. That's nap attack
psychotherapist,
calling us our 14 year old
daughter is also barraged by
phone notifications. He says
having a good relationship with
our teens is a key way to deal
with the issue. Or you have the
conversations over and over
again about you know, it's
dinner time,
let's decide. And let's have our
vo when is something really
important. With and something
way
teens can also access age and
appropriate content on their
phones. Almost half of the team
participants did So accessing
content like pornography betting
apps and violent games reading a
small number in social media to
chat with strangers, a risky
phenomenon that could lead to
problematic interactions with
adults.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I actually
heard I heard a statistic
similar that people in general
touch their phone over two and a
half 1000 times a day.
John C Dvorak: Ie that's
definitely not me mine still in
a drawer. I haven't used my
phone since December of last
year.
Adam Curry: I know but you're
also not interested in betting
apps. I
John C Dvorak: know who needs
that aggravation. To bet on
sports. Park talking to
Unknown: teens are very lonely
these days. What the lockdowns
kept them away from their
friends. They their only
communication for the most part
online so their phone becomes
their friend. And that is really
sad
psychiatrists Carole Lieberman
says parents can take the phones
away for periods of time and set
time limits. They should also
introduce their kids to other
activities like sports or dance
class that will help them
realize what they're missing out
on
is always a process right?
There's no end to when we you
know when she's got it really
parallel
psychotherapist Carl Nazar says
it's 14 year old daughter has
matured with her phone use, she
can distinguish between
notifications that are
important. And one second Wait,
but there are still times when
she gets hooked and that's when
the conversations begin anew.
Adam Curry: Well, there's a very
simple solution to this is very
simple, and it could be cool. I
mean, parents, listen up. Get
out Get your kid get all your
kids friends. And give them all
a $25 bow Fang handheld ham
radio let them all
John C Dvorak: get a license
Yeah, yeah, exactly. The early
early version of the old fart
who's on the done the ham all
day hams one of the one of the
frequencies all day we're
working with a repeater. Yeah,
that's probably better.
Adam Curry: Yeah, and you can do
digital mode so you can you know
you can send texts and stuff and
it'd be cool. Yeah, you can
relay relay messages talk to
kids around the world
John C Dvorak: Yeah, around the
world.
Adam Curry: Yeah, around the
world. And with that I'd like to
thank you for your courage in
the morning to you the man and
foot the seas in the corporate
capture ladies and gentlemen say

Adam Curry: I don't think so.

John C Dvorak: What are we not

tick tock clubs are clipping up.
These trolls are listening live
every Thursday and Sunday and
you can join them by going to
troll room.io Right there you
can sign in you can listen along
no agenda stream.com Lots of
live shows 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. All talk no agenda,
no commercials is great, then
it's it's a real community that
hangs out. Of course, you can
also become a part of that and
always get alerted when
something is new as in when
we're going live. And there's
plenty other shows that know how
to access the bat signal with
one of the podcast apps at
podcast apps.com. All based on
RSS. So you know that will work
and not going to get D
platformed or anything like
that. Of course you can always
follow us at no agenda
social.com Which still seems to
be a reasonable place for
everybody to you know, it's it's
basically social media without.
Without algos, I'd say it's
pretty decent. The people you
could you know, you couldn't
take the bow Fang idea for the
ham radio, you could also set up
a mastodon server for the for
the kids at school. You know,
keep your eye on what's going
on. Make sure that you know you
can as an admin, you can check
everything people can report.
You can you can take it in your
own hands parents. How about
that for an idea, John? Yeah.
Thank you for your enthusiasm.
Follow Adam, Adam had no agenda,
Adam had no agenda social.com
Johnson DeVore I had no agenda
social.com we our value for
value. And one of the reasons
for that is we didn't want to
have any meetings with
advertisers. But also we knew we
would never be able to have any
kind of conversation about any
of these topics without being
without the news. But the news
moving when those guys called
calling up our advertisers. Hey,
you guys said shits there were
those guys said, Well, if you
want to advertise a Burger King,
you really want to advertise
with those guys. That's what
they do. So what they do so
instead, we just said, You know
what? Why don't you just send us
any value? If you get any value
from the program, we got lots of
people who were very thankful
during the lockdowns, I think we
have, we have presented multiple
angles to different stories that
help people feel much better,
most frequently heard how no
agenda is valuable to me,
because I know I'm not the only
crazy one. There's more like me.
We have meetups that go along
with that we can meet more of
these the same people. And it
turns out they're, you know, the
kind of like normal people yet
with real jobs and real lives
and real families. And we'd like
to be a part of that. And all we
ask is that you return value one
way or the other at some point
regularly or not. Whatever you
can do time talent or treasure.
Boy, we have so many people who
contribute time. We appreciate
all the promotion of the show
that you do. Now, we could use
some new SEO people though,
remember that or that one guy
came in? And he SEO does and
we're still the top five pages
in Google that we can never get
rid of us now.
John C Dvorak: Remember that
guy? Yeah. No. Yeah, it
Adam Curry: was someone who did
that. It was early early on. We
used to have cool domain names
Mitt Romney. Do we have mitt
romney.com Someone like that?
John C Dvorak: A lot of great no
domain names. There's there used
to be a page filled with them.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Oh, there. We
still have it. The page is still
there. Get moelis.com and we of
course we have Big Mike
2020 four.com. Just in case you
never know. You never never
know. Another way people help us
out is with talent. Boy, we have
a lot of talented people. People
do jingles. They do clips they
do end of show mixes also have
information boots on the ground
and we love having brand new
art, art that is created by
professionals who get additional
value from us. We critique them
honestly. We do. You know you
never get that. You know you can
be you know trying to trying to
get a gig you know trying to
hey, here's some of my work. And
they'll just say now or they
won't even call you won't even
call you. Yeah, they don't even
bother. Don't even bother with
that will at least tell you what
what happened and what went
right or went went wrong. So we
want to thank Dame Kenny Ben,
who, who came back and this one
just jumped off the page. This
was the attacking rocket
Beautiful piece. By the way, got
a note about this The attack
comes from where was it? Yeah.
What
John C Dvorak: did you find out
about the attack comes?
Adam Curry: So attack him is at
a CMS That's an acronym for
these types of rockets that we
have sent to Ukraine to shoot at
Russia. And here's a note from a
producer. I work at Lockheed to
the simulation department for
five years on the attack comes
program. The way the media is
pronouncing the acronym acronym
is pretty funny. I admit I like
it, but that's never how we
pronounce it. It's a tack Holmes
I attack them today got a ye i
tak combs it's an ID tag and
it's not attack EMS. It's
John C Dvorak: is no good. No, I
tagged him is no good. It has to
be Attack, attack, attack,
attack. I attack the
Adam Curry: media just do that.
They just did that just to make
it sound good.
John C Dvorak: They jacked it
up. They did a good job.
Adam Curry: Very good job. So
damn, Kenny. Man. Thank you so
much was a good piece. And Kenny
when we looked at a couple
others. I remember us. You know,
we had the NA noise. I guess
when Phoebe got picked up,
you're hitting your noise
machines and people were making
art about that, which is kind of
weird, because that would never
show up in the actual finished
product. So we had a lot of the
show a lot of Taylor Swift
related art.
John C Dvorak: That's not going
to happen. She's gets enough
publicity with us helping.
Adam Curry: Yes. People keep
sending me notes that she's
transsexual.
John C Dvorak: Oh, please. Yeah.
Adam Curry: I'm just telling
you. And then I'm crazy for not
seeing it. But she's a guy.
Yeah. And so as Megan Megan
Kelly, and a couple
John C Dvorak: moral Megan Kelly
has masculine features, but
she's no guy.
Adam Curry: She's not a dude.
It's weird, though. It's weird.
And so what and then my point is
like, okay, so this is some big
hoax that I'm falling for and,
and what? And there's never an
answer on that.
John C Dvorak: And you can't see
it. Yeah, you can. He's, she's a
guy and you can't see it.
Adam Curry: I tell ya. I'm
telling you. There wasn't you
know, Justin Trudeau with a
Hitler mustache? No, that's
John C Dvorak: no, that's not
happening. I can do that. And
also the Babylon. Brd did a
whole gag about it. Yeah. So we
looked at derivative.
Adam Curry: Was there anything
else we liked? Was there
anything else?
John C Dvorak: There was nothing
else we liked?
Adam Curry: What was this?
People really taking the Swift
thing to a whole new level man.
Do I like the Taylor Swift?
Like, okay, we have a Taylor
Swift shoe. I don't understand
that. A lot of the what's the
football there's the Taylor
Swift shoe. And it says right is
this shoe with Na on it says na
swift balance model 333. I don't
understand it.
John C Dvorak: But that's the
name of it. But it's just like
when our cleaners the shoe is
gonna do it. Anything I know.
Adam Curry: So. Yeah, it just
didn't seem like there was there
was
John C Dvorak: no life. There
was no nobody would know the
artists weren't jacked up. They
weren't happy to do anything.
They just Yeah, exactly. You
know why? I think the one that
did definitive pieces we're
sorry, a death, which I think is
pretty much summarizes the art.
Adam Curry: But damn, Kenny
Ben's aren't just jumped off the
page. It's like, wow, yeah,
that's what you want. I mean,
that that rocket was beautiful.
Thank you very much named Kenny
Ben. And of course, we
appreciate the effort by every
single one of our artists. Let
me see we It looks like there
may be some some stuff that's I
haven't looked at all of it yet.
But if you want to follow along,
if you're listening to the live
show, you can do that in your
app. And you'll you can I'm
sorry, you can while you're
listening live, you can go to no
agenda, art generator.com. And
just refresh and you'll see this
stuff show up. It's pretty funny
how a topic goes by, you can see
within five minutes, boom,
there's a piece of art that goes
along with it. Or after the fact
Dred Scott puts a lot of these
pieces into the chapter art
which will just switch even
while you're driving and you're
listening to the show you'll see
the port but just switches right
on your dashboard. It's pretty
cool. Then we have the talent, I
mean, the treasure portion.
John C Dvorak: And it was it was
came up slow and low today. I
think total donators in the
mentioned category just over 40
Which is
Adam Curry: kind of pathetic all
the way through 50 Yeah, yeah
that it's low. But you know you
don't know what's happening I
mean, you know, I you don't know
maybe maybe the maybe we're in a
recession depression maybe pay
people have no money maybe maybe
there's no evidence. Maybe they
just don't like what we're doing
we need to do more Kardashian
this stuff. So I'd you need why
anyway, you need to bring you
need to bring it You need to
bring some Kardashian news next
time. Hello, okay. Okay, I will.
So we'll start off with and this
is nice. We do have a couple of
executive and Associate
Executive producers, we always
appreciate anything you send us
and we can't tell what's a lot
of what's a lot of value for
you. $5 may be incredible
amount. We're just as happy with
that, that William Rob is in San
Antonio, Texas, and I think he
got a little bit of the wrong
idea about our donation segment.
Now he is very happy because he
becomes a knight today. But then
he says this note is and he sent
three, four 5.67. He says this
note is very important outreach
to the Texas producers in the
Round Rock and surrounding
areas. A pretty dang big
hailstorm came through last
night, last Sunday evening and
totally blasted just about every
roof in town. He says I can help
you. And he says I'm a service
professional with m&m roofing
siding and windows. Give us a
Google which I think is great.
But then he goes through the
whole pitch. Like ad copy.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, and we're
not going to raise these up in
the ante on Linda Lou patcon
Yeah,
Adam Curry: but we're not going
to do that. I didn't I didn't
appreciate that was no it was
over downers. Yeah, phone
numbers.
John C Dvorak: And yeah, I think
pluggy one and you just gave it
Yeah. Eminem roofing siding and
windows.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but you know,
he says till you get and he says
give him a big in the morning no
discount no discount for our
people. Where's it where's our
where's our coupon code Come on,
man. Come on, man. Get it
together. Come on, man. He says
no dust and we're very happy for
him. This donation also makes me
a night I haven't missed an
episode since Adams first
appearance on Rogen and every
donation segment I always wonder
what my night name should be.
Well now I know. Please night me
sir. Excellency. At the
roundtable please source the
finest gluten free smoked kelp
dip. And whatever wine John
would recommend to pair with it.
Well, that's that's up to you,
John. What? What wine do you
recommend?
John C Dvorak: I think Texas
wine for this guy in particular.
Okay. I don't even know if
they're still in business. But
I've always said you find a
vintage ball of pheasant ridge.
Cabernet got some
Adam Curry: pheasant? Right to
down pheasant ridge. I don't
know if they're in business. I
mean, I would have just stopped
me. I would just say Augusta
vane or grape creek or
something. But okay. Hay is
good. Jingles f the F 35. Guys
scream, goat scream. And then a
Howard Dean scream. Oh, and he
also scrolled off my page here
because his note was so long.
And then he wanted a little girl
Yay. So I can do all of those
for you. Standby. Here's your
sequence this
Yeah, the I'll do comes down.
Like, by the way, goats or goat
scream is being used by other
shows now. Yeah, I know by now
it happens.
John C Dvorak: You know,
somebody wanted these other
shows. I was looking at some
podcast because those people
sending me links. You know,
these guys are terrible. But I
have to say, well, there's
another podcast that uses they
tried to do album art new album
marfrig show they do one show a
week. Ya know, and I have to say
there's a dyskinetic issue here.
Okay, one of the things we have
going is that the two of us seem
to have some sort of some
overriding good taste when it
comes to what should be
presented. As opposed to shit
look and stuff.
Adam Curry: Yes, well, okay.
We're
John C Dvorak: just saying
Brandon Johnson is next on the
list. He's in Olympia Washington
came in with 333 He's got no
note that I could find. Okay. If
he has one he can send it in
later we'll read it as a make
good. Give him a double up
karma.
Adam Curry: You've got karma I

John C Dvorak: Well, I have a
one night so I think it's a fail
because I think there wasn't
clipped bright or something. Oh,
and that's the stinks. ISO let
me
Adam Curry: see doesn't stink.
It's not that bad. A little
short doesn't stink. Okay.
John C Dvorak: And so then the
other one, which I think it
will, it's a good evergreen ISO,
it should work. Thank you so
much.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, since we
have nothing else, I'll just
have to do well, thank
John C Dvorak: you so much. Tock
tock tick tock.
Adam Curry: John's tick tock
clips. He has some dynamite
minds. We're very excited about
your tic tock loops.
John C Dvorak: First of all,
let's play this one. This is the
classic tic tock genius
discussing musk. There's a
person who I believe is dead
serious. If there's 10
Unknown: billion people on earth
and Elon Musk has $200 billion.
Can't he just give each person 1
billion? Here's the twist. You
will still have $190 billion
leftover. Isn't that concerning?
Adam Curry: Wow. Wow. Yeah,
that's that. Yes. I think you're
right. That person is dead
serious and dead stupid.
John C Dvorak: Kids stupid. Good
show name. Kids stupid heads.
Okay, so now I've got a tick
tock, this guy who does? Who
puts his his image of black guy
who puts his image on the screen
and rolls his eyes while some
tick tock nutcase is going on
and about some he's really good.
I got to start following him
more. But he comes up with a
little bit at the answer is kind
of a two part of this. All in
one clip, where he pretty much
elucidates, I think, the real
problem with pronouns at the end
the way he does it is, is I, I
like it a lot. But let's listen
to the pronoun woman who is
really disturbed looking
individual.
Unknown: And you know, I'm
tired, seven in the morning at
the physical therapy office
misgendered by someone who I've
told my pronouns to, and I said,
just to let you know, my
pronouns, are they them? And
they went, Oh, yeah, that's
right. Yeah, that's right. And
then I had to explain to many
times to my physical therapist,
that I didn't want to do an
exercise where I had to crunch
my face into my boobs, because
that gave me gives me gender
dysphoria. And I ended up
getting upset and started to
softly crying, and then quietly
begged to leave and have the
physical therapist just email me
the exercises, so I wouldn't
have to actually be in the space
to do them, and I could see them
at home. You know, I don't feel
comfortable in most places in
society. But when it comes to
being at the doctor's office,
it's important to feel cared for
respected. Have your humanity
honored? And I'm just I'm tired.
I'm real tired. And I've had a
rough morning,
somebody raised this, somebody
did, you should be ashamed of
yourself. You're raising a
feckless individual that cannot
function in society as a
functional human human being.
It's your fault, Mama, daddy,
whoever raised this person, it's
your fault. Just this has made
it it's your fault. There's no
way in the world are you an
adult and you getting butthurt
and you crying softly in the
doctor's office because somebody
forget to call you something
that's not even grammatically
correct. Like the pronoun is not
grammatically correct. It's not
English language. You cannot be
a singular person but yet you're
calling yourself a plurality of
persons. You cannot be a fool
you just one person you cannot
be them. You just one person and
how are you mad at other people
who refuse to defy the English
language? How about you have the
respect for the humanity of
others and accept the fact that
some people may not want to call
you something that is not even
reasonable and it's not even
appropriate when it comes? To
the language that we all agreed
to speak.
Adam Curry: I think it works
better when you can see the guy.
John C Dvorak: I thought it was
better if you can see her.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, yeah,
that's for sure. Yeah, it was
interesting. At the at the
conference, there was a vocal
coach. And this guy is really a
vocal coach for singers with
some of the biggest names in
country and, and gospel
Nashville guy. Sure. And he was
trying to explain why it wasn't
trying was succeeding very well,
that what you need to do if you
really want your voice or what
you're saying, to come across,
in a way that people not just
hear it, but are drawn into it.
And he does this with you know,
he's the kind of guy that you
know, someone's gonna go on
stage, they got 10,000 people in
the audience, they call them two
hours before it's like, I can't
I can't hang out. I don't want
my voice is not the way I want
it to be. I need you to help me.
And he said, and he gave
examples of this actually with
Simon and Garfunkel and some
other songs as the same song but
sung in different ways. He says
if you prolong your consonant,
John C Dvorak: your what your
Will the consonant consonant.
Adam Curry: He says, as he gave
examples, it was amazing how
when you prolong your constants,
as I just did, how people get
drawn in and listen to you and
you're much more enjoyable to
listen to in your in your
information will come across
better. It is the exact opposite
of what these morons are doing.
Because they're extending their
vowels and dropping their
consonants like T's. Hmm, I just
thought that was fair. Right?
Fascinating. All right. Got it
vocal right there. Whereas it's
the T's and the SS and the DS.
And the Gs, Gs, Gs. Anyway, free
lesson, everybody. I've got one
more clip that I think is in
watch. They have two very
important news.
Unknown: We have some sad views
coming from American zoos. It
seems that Chinese pandas will
leave America, we're talking
about some of the most popular
attractions in Washington DC
zoos, not to mention Atlanta,
Memphis, San Diego as well. I
haven't personally seen them. I
would have loved to see them.
But it seems given a look at
that. Who doesn't want to see
pandas? It just makes us happy.
But it seems given the ongoing
tensions between Washington and
Beijing they will no longer be
available after more than 50
years of spending time here in
the US.
Adam Curry: Ah, can they recall
the pandas? Are they allowed
John C Dvorak: to they were
always licensed anyway, they
never owned them. Oh, I didn't
know they were all all pandas in
the world are licensed by the
Chinese. But you have to there's
a EULA.
Adam Curry: I didn't know that I
didn't know the license. So they
can retract the license at
John C Dvorak: any time they can
retrieve the Panadol. And if
they if they have babies, the
babies belong as part of this
like a typical classic EULA.
Babies belong to China to wow.
So I was always thinking that
one of the one of these is to be
creative and kind of slip a baby
panda, you know, fly everybody,
but they've never managed to do
it.
Adam Curry: And this, this one
that this, I don't know if you
have anything else. But this
last clip this was there was a
hearing, which didn't get a lot
of traction. And it was about
the Lahaina fire. And you recall
that our our insider in the
electric electricity industry
had found out that the even
though the power had been shut
off from the power company, that
the hotels were still pumping
their energy back into the grid
through their generators. Do you
remember that? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I remember it.
Well. Now
Adam Curry: here is the
president of Hawaiian Electric.
She really Kimora and here's
what she testified to
Unknown: on that day of fire at
6:30am. What I will refer to as
the morning fire appears to have
been caused by Hawaiian Electric
power lines that fell in high
winds. The Maui County Fire
Department promptly responded to
this fire. They reported that by
9am it was contained. After
monitoring it for several hours,
the fire department determined
the fire had been extinguished.
They left the scene in the early
afternoon at about 3pm A time
when all of Hawaiian Electric's
power lines in West Maui had
been de energized for more than
six hours a second fire, the
afternoon fire began in the same
area. The cause of that
afternoon fire that spread to
Lahaina has has not been
determined. We are working
tirelessly to figure out what
happened and we are cooperating
fully with federal and state
investigators who have indicated
it may take 12 to 18 months to
conclude,
Adam Curry: Oh, how about when
we know exactly what happened?
The wires were down there were
energized because the hotels had
their generators still hooked
up. We're pumping energy back
into the back end system. So
they now they got it now that
this I think there's some
negotiating who's going to take
the fall for it.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's
where the 18 months what a visit
take 18 months or is that kind
of investigation?
