Adam Curry: I recommend a
tinfoil hat personally.
Unknown: Adam curry, John C.
Devorah.
Adam Curry: It's Thursday August
1 2024. This Year Award winning
get one nation media
assassination episode 1682
Unknown: This is no agenda.
Adam Curry: We're all weird now
and broadcasting live from the
heart of the Texas hill country
here in FEMA Region number six
in the morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry
John C Dvorak: and from Northern
Silicon Valley where Rachel
Maddow is full of shit and
Johnson
Adam Curry: That's right,
everybody. This is your typical
morning Sue show. You heard
right here. My daddy wasn't
beat. Oh. Wow. Okay, you're mad
at Rachel. What did she do? Show
me on the Rachael hall where she
hurt you?
John C Dvorak: Well, you want me
to go to the pitch on weird.
Adam Curry: I'd love for you to
go to the pitch on weird.
John C Dvorak: So the Democrats
have decided to use the term
weird I
Adam Curry: just kind of say,
the stuff that's going on right
now is the stuff that media
deconstructionist dream of. It
is so blatantly, stupidly
obvious.
John C Dvorak: When three clips
Okay, let's hear. First, I have
the supercut of the use of the
word weird on MSNBC, CNN, and
various mainstream outlets. Some
of
Unknown: what is running mate
are saying, let's play weird.
These guys are just weird.
That's really
weird and creepy. is JD Vance.
Super weird idea from JD Vance.
Yeah, it's
not I mean it's quite weird
just playing we're just playing
we're just plain weird
that stuff is weird. They come
across weird and then they start
being weird Yeah, they're
weird. Really weird such a weird
of something
is weird. Oh, running mate are
weird. deeply and profoundly
weird they
John C Dvorak: are weird these
Republicans just being weird
it's just weird it's really
weird. weirdness
Unknown: goes even deeper
he said a lot of things that are
weird weird style that he brings
your policies with the
weird thing because it is a
thing is
plain weird. What
was weird was talking about Diet
Mountain Dew who drinks Diet
Mountain Dew whoever seen
the guy laugh? That seems very
weird to me that that an adult
can go through six and a half
years of being in the public eye
if he has laughed it's at
someone not with someone that
that is weird behavior and and
cultish. These are weird people
on the other side kind of
double down on his weird ideas.
Think weird is probably
generous. Simply weird. These
guys are just plain weird dance
as weird. You know, as the
campaign said, weird
really? Is
just playing weird.
JD Vance playing weird.
I mean, you gotta read it weird.
It
is kind of weird. We're
not free to weird people. The
other side. They're just weird.
Why
are you being so weird? And
since doing something more
extreme, more weird.
No matter what kind of weird
stuff they keep saying Trump and
Vance are just weird. In
addition,
if you've been registered,
that's
the weird part. That's the most
engaging me addressed as my
beautiful Christians, which was
super weird. We're
in tech bro. JD Vance uses a
weird guy JD Vance
on easy and sort of
weird, frankly, for lack of
a better word that he's weird
remarks that aren't even funny.
And he kind of shows that he
can't really deliver a one
liner.
So stand weird is the word here
in terms of initial impressions
from Vance American public?
Adam Curry: This was really dare
I say weird. They did this
definition of weird is strange
or have strange or extraordinary
character odd or fantastic. of
relating to or caused by
witchcraft or the supernatural,
magical. So it's an odd choice
of SLAM ma'am. As
John C Dvorak: we continue, the
choice will be deconstructed by
of all people, Scott Adams. But
first of all, after all this,
they went through all this
Rachel had her show on Monday,
not to be out done. She was
given her marching orders to use
the word weird. And this is in
the first half hour of the show.
I went through the trouble of
cutting out every use of her
term weird 41 seconds full of
them in just 30 minutes. And
here we go.
Unknown: Are you ready for a
weird one? This is a truly weird
when and of all the weird things
actually. Not all that weird. A
little weird with the Republican
campaign personally weird or
that JD Vance is personally
weird, except there is something
weird weirdness in a pejorative
term necessarily, who among us
is a little weird, right? We're
just not necessarily bad
intrinsically. There is weird
stuff like that. Right on the
surface postcard of his weird
rambling Neff do some weird
stuff. Part of What's so weird
about the Donald Trump campaign.
There's a lot that is weird. But
there's one last thing in terms
of the weirdness of this
campaign, the weirdness around
this scam Pay surface level
weirdness. That's a weird thing.
That's a weird thing. All of
this is weird. This level weird
behavior, the weirdness of this
campaign is astonishing. 99 days
out.
Adam Curry: Well, now I'm very
excited to hear Scott Adams
because he's the, he's the
hypnotist, and he understands.
What's the term he always uses.
He always uses a term for it
something like, what's the term
he uses? I don't know. If we're
convincing people as strong not
influence. It's some other word
uses.
Unknown: Madness. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: the chat room.
We'll come up with it as we play
his interpretation. I'm not
totally convinced of this. But
at least he's looking
Persuasion.
Adam Curry: Persuasion
persuasion as the term he's
he's,
John C Dvorak: he at least has
one handle on it, which may or
may not be part of it. It this
is part of his I had to
obviously cut stuff out. And
then I had the conch containing
I had to shorten it, because
Scott
Adam Curry: can ramble long.
Yes. He's a ramble.
John C Dvorak: He's Rambler. But
here we go. Here we go. This is
what he thinks is going on.
Well, apparently
Unknown: the Democrats have
decided that they're going to
use the weird the word weird
weird to describe, I guess. By
the way,
Adam Curry: it's already working
on Scott. He just said the word
weird without even intending to
say it.
Unknown: Yes, that's amazing.
You that's amazing. Well,
apparently the Democrats who
decided that, I'm sorry. I was
John C Dvorak: just gonna say
that you have to remember that
this is all this all began with
JD Vance, calling the childless
cat women. And that was
determined to be weird when in
fact, we've all known this idea
since the Simpsons for the last
25 years, which always had a cat
woman in there. And there's
nothing weird about it, but
Okay, here we go. Well,
apparently
Unknown: the Democrats have
decided that they're going to
use the weird the word weird to
describe I guess, JD Vance and
Trump. Now you might say to
yourself weird. Let's like such
a weak, overused, weird word.
And Vivek Ramaswamy has a
similar idea. He says, this
whole their weird argument from
the Democrats is dumb and
juvenile. This is a presidential
election, not a high school prom
queen contest. It's also a tad
ironic coming from the party
that preaches diversity
inclusion, when on policy if you
can cut the crap, please. Now
I'm going to tell you you didn't
expect this is probably
professional work. Remember when
I spotted dark and yes in the
Clinton Trump election as soon
as they all said Trump's
speeches dark I said whoa,
that's that's professional.
That's not something that
regular politicians come up with
that word makes you fear without
without any details, what's
dark, who everything bad is
dark. And then you put all the
all the bad fear that you have
for the dark into Trump. Very
professional. Manipulation of
minds. Weird is probably that
good. Here's why you might not
know young women. You use that
weird that word a lot. If you're
talking to a young woman about a
topic that she's not interested
in Scott does and you say oh
this or that happened? What is
she going to say? While she's
looking at her phone? Looking at
phone? That's weird. And then
you tell a story about a person
who did a thing that isn't
usually done. What is the what
is the young woman with the
phone say about that person?
That's weird. Weird is the
universal word that young women
use for everything that doesn't
fit their model and it's a good
catch all for their base.
Adam Curry: Well, Scott Adams is
the expert on young women. So we
know that but I have a young
woman in the house here had her
here for four weeks and she's
definitely on the phone in that
age group and I have not heard
this term. So that's just my one
sample. i
John C Dvorak: This is a sketchy
analysis but is interesting and
he has a counter to this whole
thing is that when if you're
told anything on on the Democrat
side, just say it's weird, as it
was his argument is, if they
want to try to use this to
capture the youth of America,
women are dissolve about women
because the women and it just
noticeable in the black
community where the black women
are all in on on Camela and
black men are are little
although the black men are still
going to be all in on Camela a
greater percentage will go for
Trump. I think the personally
the over and under is going to
be 20% At least from what I can
I can call from the
conversations. But this is but
so just use the word weird a lot
when when you're referring to
anything the Democrats are
doing, and he thinks that'll
probably help. But it is strange
that this is going on. And it's
so obvious, and I think they've
overdone it. And Rachel, who
took it to the limit? Well, I
Adam Curry: have two clips that
connect into this. I agree with
you. I think people you know,
they're under estimating the
intelligence of people,
certainly the people who call
into C span and the hosts of C
span, which was rather
interesting. Let me see. Yeah.
And Hudson, Florida Republican.
He's actually calling in about
initially about the National
Black Journalists Association,
but then he gets to the weird
thing
Unknown: are you doing today?
The reason why you saw that
interview is the real reason
that Donald Trump should be
reelected as president. The way
he stood up to that interviewer
is the way he was, he has stood
up to Putin tree and fell fell
from North Korea. That's why he
had such success in his four
years that he was president. He
didn't that he stood up to those
people and he told them, This is
my side of the
story. Here's a headline in Wall
Street Journal this morning. At
events rally fans brush off his
controversies. What do you think
of the pic by the former
president of JD Vance?
Well, I think JD Vance is a very
good man he's a same religion I
am he's he's raised some
children he's done the right
thing and came from a poor
background and there's always
something that these people are
going to do the hatch on to that
they have to find something of
something about the weird or
something that everybody's weird
a little bit but that's what
their phrases now they must send
this out because everybody that
has against the Republicans they
all start about like these weird
where do they get that? Is that
a memo that goes out to everyone
that's what makes you question
about your news media when every
one of them and that's against
the Republicans they all start
with these weird you know, and
the ABC is weird NBC is weird.
Where did where does this come
from even even speaker Schumer
he's weird you know it is if
people this anyone with any and
challenges at all can figure out
that and most shops do this.
That's what's right. What is so
bad about what am I going to
pick on what Harris picks? Jimmy
are referring to talking points
talking points that go out by
the party officials that go out
and you know, those that
received
can they have their own talking
points? Why do they have to be
send their little memo does you
start out with that he's weird
All right. Yeah,
Adam Curry: so everyone seems to
do this the C span hosts like
why this talking points it sends
them out you know, it's like and
as proven in my favorite hate
listen. Everybody loves the
favorite hate listen pivot pivot
podcast with Kara Swisher. Yep.
And Scott Galloway and listen to
what he says 200
Unknown: million bucks in a
week. The enthusiasm is granted
some of the middle lane you
know, they're just getting their
attack engine going. She'll come
under a bunch of warranted
scrutiny that every candidate
gets but the honeymoon period is
like this is a month long
honeymoon right now. Yeah, it is
everything every lot of sex
happening. Oh my god, and I mean
Kara this whatever called white
dude thing not weird
sex like JD Vance. But go ahead
dolphins and couches.
With furniture. I'm not sure I
even understand what he's being
accused of there. But anyways,
the I was asked to come on CNN
tonight and talk about how weird
the campaign is. Or the Trump
campaign is and talk about the
white dude tank.
Adam Curry: So they called him
up and said, Hey, can you come
on CNN tonight and talk about
the weird thing? You know, it's
our new talking points.
Certainly. Viewer you've heard
about it. Come on. This is so
obvious.
John C Dvorak: Wow, that's a
good catch. Yeah, well,
Adam Curry: I missed my hatless.
Um, so that's why I caught it
now. I'm gonna move past weird
if you don't mind because we had
another fabulous thing happen
and it's amazing. Kind of
predicted by moe that they're
gonna go all in race all in
race, race, race, race, race,
race, race, race, a racist,
racist, racist, black, black,
black, white, white, white,
racist, racist. And as witnessed
by the racial zoom calls, which
I don't even I don't even know
if you know, I don't know if you
can have more than 1000 people
on a zoom call maybe zoom had
they certainly don't have that
on their website. If you want
John C Dvorak: a good point if
you want I've been wondering
about this myself. Well,
Adam Curry: here's the their
their basic free, are with
credit cards. 100 participants
Pro is 100 participants out now
it seems like the same business
300 enterprise 500, then
optional add ons 500 and an
optional 1000. So I guess you
can have 1500. Or maybe maybe
they can do more, but what they
seem to be doing is doing
streaming live. And then having
a number of invited people on
the Zoom call, as witnessed by
the white dudes for Harris,
which I think they missed an
enormous branding opportunity
here. white dudes for Harris,
they should have called it
crackers for Kamala. But that's
just me next time called the
curry Devorah Consulting Group.
And but even Galloway and I have
some respects, I have a little
bit of respect for him. He
catches this, he says, you know,
this is kind of weird, that
we're doing all this racial
stuff. And we're doing all
identity politics. But of
course, as long as it keeps
Trump out, it's good.
Unknown: They're doing groups of
zoom calls that which I think is
fascinating.
Adam Curry: I think it's really
fascinating, fascinating,
Unknown: really fascinating,
fascinating.
I live I'm of two minds about
that. I like the we're saying
Don't be ridiculous. There's a
lot of white men, who you
immediately create a stereotype
of the one a great economy, the
one progressive policies that
want bodily autonomy for women
that want the Wonderful World
World for their daughters that
believe in liberal politics. So
I like that, that that's a
chance for us to say don't be
stupid, there's a bunch of us
that are hand in hand with these
ideals and are fighting for
them. But at the same time, it
feels as if the world is
becoming so much more it's just
becoming one giant identity
politics exercise. You know,
just everybody identifies now
based on their their sexual
orientation, their background,
their gender, and I think some
of it is unhealthy. I
think some of this is fun,
though. They're doing Asian
ladies the black lady so I think
it's kind of fun, like, and then
they're all gonna get together.
In this way. It feels like it's
too much. But I think this is
more enjoy than it is greed.
Joy. Anger.
Yeah, this is tongue in cheek in
funny.
Adam Curry: It's funny. It's
great. Listen to who was on this
white dudes for Harris call. By
the way, the the here's the
because I got the the email for
the signup form.
John C Dvorak: By the way, she
did say for all practical
purposes that racism is fun. It
is.
Adam Curry: I agree. Racism is
fun. It's fun for kids of all
ages. Here's the email together.
We aren't going to sit around
and let the Maga crowd bully
other white guys into voting for
a hateful and divisive ideology.
Because we understand that Magga
with Magga everyone uses we know
that as white dudes, we have a
strong and positive role to play
in America shared future and it
begins with all of us cutting
through the maggot crap, and
reminding the folks who have co
opted American symbols what
America actually means. We're
excited to join together with
you in this fight. So here's who
was on the exit was It was
amazing. The first guy who came
on was a black guy who was like,
you know, some activist for
Kamala. So they have all the
white dudes on let's bring in a
black guy just to make sure
we're not too racist.
John C Dvorak: No, he's
identifying as white for the day
for the day. Yes, Jeff
Adam Curry: Bridges Mayor Pete.
Governor Roy Cooper. Blimey. See
Governor Pritzker, Governor
waltz? Governor get Senator Gary
Peters, Adam Schiff, Steny
Hoyer, Mark Hamill, Scott
Galloway, he did go on Eric
Swalwell Lance Bass of the
Backstreet Boys. Tim Daly, David
Hogg, who doesn't remember him,
you might as well have just said
a bunch of rich white dudes for
Kamala, and that and so I don't
think that you could see 200,000
or however however many they
they claim, you couldn't see
that many on the Zoom call. It
was streamed, they screamed at
live so you could sit around,
and they could all pontificate.
I would say Jeff Bridges was the
most disappointing even Jeff
Bridges was disappointing. He's
that he's a dude. He's like, Oh,
I'm a dude. So of course, I'm
for President Harris. I want
Harris for President. Anyway,
fine.
John C Dvorak: By the way, just
as an aside, since you mentioned
him. Buddha judge is making the
strongest push to be vice
president of all these guys.
Yeah. And I when I wrote that
essay, which is in the vortex
substack.com The last essay I
wrote, predicting it was going
to be Shapiro or Cooper Cooper
dropped out. I can just go out I
mentioned budaj edge, but I just
glossed it over thinking that
nobody in their right mind would
pick him But I think they might
make that mistake of picking him
Unknown: if they pick him
Adam Curry: if this now here's
the interesting thing first of
all, there's no question about
what a man or a woman is. I
didn't see any any drag queens
on the call, which was
disappointing, or I don't think
there are any drag queen queens
on the on the the cat lady call.
So all of a sudden we know
exactly what a man and a woman
is. That seems to be clear. And
I'm sorry as Scott Scott
Galloway, but Jews are not
white. I've heard this
consistently.
John C Dvorak: That's something
that angers Horowitz by the way.
Yes, he
Adam Curry: he, he's I'm not
really. I'm a Jew. Well, it's
alright, because then he can
join Scott Galloway's call,
which is Jews for Harris,
Unknown: I'm getting involved in
another one. Jews for Harris,
I'm worried that a lot of a lot
of Jews, including myself are so
kind of rattled by October 7.
And we're concerned about some
of what we perceive as anti
Israel comments from the far
left that it's pivoted a lot of
people to the right, and a lot
of Jews have become one issue
voters. And what I'm going to
try and do, and I want to do
something similar to what these
guys have done, I've been
inspired. Because I don't think
I think if you really put on
your critical thinking hat, I
think that that's in terms of
not only the end of the award,
but a sustainable piece would be
to have the continuation of the
Biden Harris administration, I
don't think they get nearly as
much credit as they should, for
their steadfast support of
Israel and immediately deploying
aircraft carrier forces over
there. And also post when the
war does come to an end, make
your Make Your Own Making it
now. post, post the end of the
war, you're gonna have to have a
fairly complex multilateral
peace force there and who is
most likely to build an enduring
peace, you'll probably have to
have back channel negotiations
with Iran. Is that is that
Anthony Blinken or someone who's
likely to be a future resident
of a federal or state prison
somewhere, which is a one in
three chance of any cabinet
appointee of the Trump
administration. Okay.
John C Dvorak: What is that all
about? And by the way, I said,
Hey, I know if you misunderstood
me or not, but but Hora was
irked by the fact that he thinks
that some Jews are considered
non white. Yes.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's no, I
understood you perfectly.
Understood you perfectly. Let's
just go back to Vance for
Galloway
John C Dvorak: seems to I don't
know what he right. I didn't do
I have no no, no, he went clip
was confusing to me.
Adam Curry: He went out because
he said you and he has a Jew.
But
John C Dvorak: what did he say?
He says
Adam Curry: that we need Harris
to be president because they'll
protect Israel. What I know
nuts. Well, he's saying the
reason why is because you want
Anthony Blinken there. That's
really what he said. entity.
John C Dvorak: Blinken, the guy
who organized the 51 phony
baloney intelligence agents to
say that Hunter laptop, the
Hunter Biden laptop was Yes, I
know, fake. You're not kidding
me.
Adam Curry: I'm really divided
or torn about Scott Galloway
because, you know, he identifies
you know, this, Hey, this is
really identity politics. This
is no good. But he can't help
himself because he has to suck
up to Kara to keep his job, I
guess. Not that he needs it.
Guys got houses in London and
Aspen and he's done quite well
for himself. He also gave away
$50,000 on the college like, I'm
a white man. I'm Scott Galloway,
and I'm going to match $50,000
if Mark Hamill will say, I'm
Luke Skywalker, I'm here to save
you. Which of course Mark Hamill
did. His the whole thing was so
pathetic. Now earlier they
talked about this weird sex.
Yes. JD Vance. weird sex. Now
they're literally taking memes
from the internet and
propagating
Unknown: them or it's been about
JD Vance. And there's another
thing about him. I don't know
how to say this. Him having sex
with a sofa?
To do the romantic, romantic
interactions with seat cushions
of the couch. I will we need to
point out totally unfounded. It
was a joke that started on the
internet. But it took on a life
of its own and then you had
people like the Associated Press
doing fact checks on JD Vance
did not have sex with the couch.
Yeah,
and but that's again, to our
point about you know, this stuff
can end up not being true, but
it kind of like people decide
that it's what they want to
believe and it plays into
existing ideas they have about
someone. And so even though it's
not true, it's kind of people
going well, like I believed it
could be true. So therefore, is
it true even though you know,
again, totally unfounded, you
Adam Curry: know, so when when
there's something obviously a
parody about Kamala Harris, this
was the BBC, by the way. Then
it's like, Whoa, this is this is
dangerous. People might believe
this stuff. But then once about
a Republican then it's like, oh,
wow, that is funny. It's
hilarious. It's so great. Yes,
we love it. So of course this is
all about discrediting JD Vance.
And obviously we have to bring
his whiteness into it, and
probably little religious
overtones. Let's go.
Unknown: And in Louisiana, the
Daily Advertiser reports that
the United States birth rate is
down as fewer adults want to
have kids. According to a 2023
Pew Research survey, 47% of
childless adults under 50 say
they aren't planning on having
any children. Many younger
adults say they want to focus on
other things instead, and raise
concerns about the state of the
world and the costs associated
with raising a child. Some older
adults say they don't have kids
due to medical reasons, or
because they haven't found the
right partner and Molly is the
stats. Are there more and more
Americans choosing not to have
kids, which again, emphasizes
why JD Vance has comments about
childless Americans, childless
cat ladies, by the
Adam Curry: way? So they're kind
of conflating two things, you
know, and this was 11 years ago
but he said yes there with our
country is run by childless cat
ladies who are unhappy they want
to make us unhappy. The other
thing he did it the way I
understood it, I may be wrong is
he said Hey, we should stimulate
people having children and we
should give them tax breaks for
that which the the M five M has
now turned around into. They
want to punish people who don't
have children, which is amazing,
an amazing good amazing way of
presenting it's good I'll give
them that to be so politically
damaging
John C Dvorak: why they do what
is in the mainstream media use
that same logic with this with
this money giveaway for student
loans. Now, please,
Adam Curry: let's choosing not
to have kids,
Unknown: which again emphasizes
why JD Vance's comments about
childless Americans childless
cat ladies to be so politically
damaging damage. What's
interesting is this is this
natal ism that comes from an
authoritarian playbook. right
that there need to work. It's a
playbook white.
John C Dvorak: That associates
with Putin. Yeah, well, yeah,
Adam Curry: there is a playbook
we get into it NATO is that do
you say Do you said NATO? lism
NATO lism that's like being pro
child I guess natal ism. That's
a good one. I look into that
NATO lism natal is I've never
seen a policy
John C Dvorak: paradigm or
personal value that promotes the
reproduction of human life as a
as an important objective of
humanity. And you have that but
but it's the term itself has a
negative intonation, natal natal
ism, like nativism? Yeah, it's a
good, that's where they use it.
Yes,
Adam Curry: Anita lism. Nice.
Unknown: What's interesting is
this is this natal ism that
comes from an authoritarian
playbook. right that there was
the more white children, right.
Nobody said that. Yes. But this
is
Adam Curry: the point. It's all
about white Christian
nationalism. Don't you
understand that?
Unknown: There there need to be
more white children. Right.
That's the idea that there's you
know,
John C Dvorak: where did this
clip come from? What
Adam Curry: outlet MSNBC
morning, Joe? Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, now now, it's understood, of
course. But this is another one
of those messages. This is the
whole racism thing. These guys
only want more white children
that there
Unknown: needs to be more white
children. Right. That's the idea
that there's you know, this is
about great replacement theory
racism, right. This is what this
is so.
Adam Curry: So saying we should
encourage people to have
children which we clearly need
if you want your Social Security
be paid by anybody who's
working. But that's really great
replacement theory because they
want white children. Okay,
Unknown: placement theory
racism, right. Misunderstanding
it for him wanting more
children. He wants a certain
kind of, you know, racist thing.
So I would say, yeah, there are
certain
John C Dvorak: people are
disgusting. It's fantastic.
Adam Curry: This is going in the
archives in 100 years, someone
will recover this
John C Dvorak: NBC. Yes. Yeah.
Okay. Well, let me just just
interrupt a clip for a minute.
No, and mention. MSNBC. Rachel
Maddow, do you know how much
money she makes a year $8
Adam Curry: million.
John C Dvorak: 24 annual as
reported by multiple sources,
I'm going to read this. She
recently signed a five year deal
with Rachel worth more than 120
million this is working one day
a week or $500,000 a show. We
had two executive producers for
this show, which is Erin and her
bucks each for us. We're making
big dough party. Hey, but you
know what were some sources
suggest the annual income could
be as high as 29 or 30 million,
as reported by the mayor of MSN
or a report called Rachel mad
dough. And this is on the on the
this is on the shoulders of
Brian L. Roberts, the CEO of
Comcast who doesn't even make
that much his salary as it were
at least as of 2016. Maybe
higher now. Was 29 or 28 point 6
million she making Less than
Rachael. So they're paying her
to just be a hateful person on
the show. And you'll notice this
when she does her sketches. I've
got a couple of clips I'll do
later. But when she looks down
at the end of her bid, when she
goes to commercial, she looks
down with the most guilt ridden
look I've ever seen on anybody.
She knows that she's cheating
the world. Well, she
Adam Curry: knows, we're, we're
all vapor here, John, when when
it's time for us to go, she's
going to be looking into a fiery
pit of hell. And you and me,
we're going to be on the cloud
laughing.
John C Dvorak: Making the same
amount, the same amount.
Unknown: Don't misunderstand it
for him wanting more children.
He wants a certain kind of, you
know, racist thing. So I would
say, yeah, there are certain
it's certainly true. And
attacking people for not having
children is really cruel, right?
Because some people can't have
children. Oh, you know, I have
children and you know, can't
miss the window. So I do think
window Lee, just a very terrible
way to go after people. No,
Adam Curry: it's just, it's a
terrible way to go after people.
Well, no, the terrible way to go
after people is what's happening
now because and it was a big
mistake. I think I believe the
guy who was in charge of Project
2025, at the Heritage
Foundation, he resigned he less
should have Yes, he's like, Oh,
that was a mistake to put that
paper out. Now I have read. I
have read the paper.
John C Dvorak: Now some Well,
900 pages really more
Adam Curry: than 938. I think.
Now I'm going to be the first to
say I skimmed through some of
the obvious chat GPT generated
stuff because they could have
done this in 90 pages. But it
was it was literally like here's
90 pages, put it into chat GBT
so for sure, I know. None of
these people have read it at
all. Certainly not joy read from
MSNBC.
Unknown: You won't have to vote
anymore. My beautiful
Christians. I love you
Christians. I'm not Christian. I
love you get out. You gotta get
out and vote in for us. You
don't have to vote again. We'll
have it fixed. Oh, good. You're
not gonna have to vote.
Do you believe if Donald Trump
were elected next year, that he
would try to stay in office
beyond a second term? I think
we'd never leave office, there's
no question. Do you think he
would try to stay in power
forever? Absolutely. The stakes
could not be higher. Trump says
if he wins, you won't have to
vote anymore. We are laying out
the dangers of project 2025 your
manifesto that would give him
that authoritarian power, limit
your rights and force you and
your family to change the way
you live your life. And we begin
this special episode of the
readout tonight with a dire
warning. See, over the next
hour, I will lay out the
greatest threat to the American
democratic experiment in modern
times. And it's called Project
2025.
Adam Curry: So the you know, you
identified this, this obvious,
at best misreading of what Trump
said to a total distortion of
the truth. And you even heard
you talk about on DH unplug,
like
John C Dvorak: because Horowitz
was bought into it too.
Adam Curry: Now, do you think do
you think he was really bought
into it?
John C Dvorak: He was baffled by
it. He wasn't he didn't buy into
it. But he was baffled by it.
And once I explained it to him,
it was fine with it. I have a
clip about this too. And you're
done. But I just want to say
yeah, yeah, I think he bought he
kind of bought into Oh, it
Adam Curry: works. So this so we
needed to do an intervention on
him
John C Dvorak: that he's fine
with. I mean, it was just the
one this is just just this one
thing, okay. And this again is
on the shoulder of Brian Roberts
because this is one of his
people are getting good money to
it. She's not getting to 30
million that Rachel's getting
but she needs to do this stuck
on there's no reason that these
people are making this much
money. They're not bringing in
that much. Well,
Adam Curry: now I'm going to
disagree with you because it's
money from cable news is not
from the advertisements,
although that's not bad. It's
from the cable fees. So they
have wide coverage. So they're
bringing in Big Bang, they got a
budget. It's just being you
know, the minute people stopped
cutting the cable that's when it
hurts everybody, but they get
one two bucks per subscriber so
they have a fixed amount they
get every single month. So
bringing in more money on
advertising doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter. And by the way,
Elon Musk bought Twitter what
for the revenue for the profit.
No. For power is for power. So
that Comcast guy, is it Comcast?
Yeah, Comcast. Yeah, it's for
power. So this that's why oh,
that's H L hunt. Had a 600 radio
stations for power. Doesn't
matter if you make money or not?
Jeff Bezos was a Washington Post
power Jhansi, Dvorak, Adam
curry, no agenda show power, top
power. All right, so then I'm
only slightly insulted that you
insinuate that I did not read
all project 2025 Because I do
that kind of stuff I've read to
John C Dvorak: do, but it's
boring. It's too long. It's
dumb. It is
Adam Curry: it is boring and
dumb. And then the way Trump is
distancing himself from it is
disingenuous. Because there's
been it's very much a Trump like
agenda. There's some things I
mean, obviously was written
before Roe v. Wade was, the
document was overturned that
known as Roe v. Wade. So there
and he's been very clear, but of
course, he's lying, that he
wants three exceptions and send
it back to the States. And, you
know, so in this is just Oh, no,
it's they want a national
abortion banned. It's all lies
and disingenuous. But we bring
on the former executive director
of Planned Parenthood, Kelly
Robinson, to talk about what she
thinks is the worst, the worst
thing in the joy read had the
printout of all 900 pages on our
desk, you know, this, is it,
this is it. This is what's going
to kill democracy.
Unknown: What do you find the
most alarming and the most
frightening the thing that you
want people to know about top of
mind, you know, how they
are using the federal government
institutionalized bigotry
structurally right. That he
would come into office and fire
nearly a million federal workers
career workers, right. That's
scary. No, that's
Adam Curry: not scary. That's
dynamite. Everybody wants
Unknown: that million federal
workers career workers. Right,
right. Scary. And they put foot
soldiers that would just carry
out His will. The idea that they
want to turn
Adam Curry: Wait a minute, isn't
that what's supposed to happen?
Isn't the executive branch
supposed to do what the laws
have, as written by Congress,
and the direction of the
president? Isn't that the point
now we call them foot soldiers,
which they just don't like these
foot soldiers. That's scary.
Unknown: And then input foot
characters, and we just carry
out His will, the idea that they
want to turn the Health and
Human Services Agency into the
department of life and charge it
with promoting heterosexuality
as a quote unquote, ideal family
unit, and then attach federal
benefits to those to those
criteria. That's scary. And I
think that's scary. It's
Adam Curry: scary that you
attach federal benefits. By the
way, we have federal benefits.
We have child tax breaks, and
the people who would benefit the
most are black Americans. You
races, lady, please.
Unknown: That's scary. And I
think ultimately, we're not just
talking about policies or
impacting specific communities,
though, that laid out quite
clearly in Project 2025. But
over time, that is the
undermining of democracy. He's
even saying out loud if you vote
in this election for him for
Donald Trump, that could be the
last election you have to vote
for is Dr. Maya Angelou said
when someone shows you who they
are, believe that the first time
people always leave out the
first time. Yes,
Adam Curry: yes. Yes, Queen. All
right. So now to bring in the
most skit, the scariest thing,
scary, so scary, is the Robert
Jones, he's the director of the
Public Religion Research
Institute. He should know he
should know what's going on.
Obviously, this is a very godly
man.
Unknown: What's likely the most,
John C Dvorak: there's actually
two sentences out of all this
900 pages that I think were the
most chilling to me to read, I
read them here. An individual
must be free to live as his
creator ordained in order to
flourish. Our constitution
grants each of us the liberty to
do not what we want. But what we
ought. Now who gets to define
that ought the very next
sentence gives us a clue. The
pursuit of the good life is
found primarily in family,
marriage, children, Thanksgiving
dinners, and the like. So that
other 900 pages that that's in
the foreword, this document that
what the other 900 pages really
are about that 1950s Norman
Rockwell vision of a white
Christian America, you know,
with white Christian men and
their heterosexual marriages,
kind of raining up here and
everybody else knowing their
place. So
Adam Curry: if I can distill
what he just said, he said, What
they want is white Christian men
at the top telling everybody
what to do. But the problem is,
I have the 900 pages in front of
me, and he didn't read the next
paragraph. So I'll just read
that last bit. Again, our
constitution grants each of us
liberty to do not what we want
but what we ought. This pursuit
of the good life is found
primarily in family marriage,
children, Thanksgiving dinners,
and the like. He omitted the
next paragraph. Many find
happiness through their work.
Think of dedicated teachers or
health care professionals,
professionals, you know,
entrepreneurs or plumbers
throwing themselves into their
business. Anyone Who sees a job
well done as a personal reward,
religious devotion and
spirituality spirituality are
the greatest sources of
happiness around the world.
Still, others find themselves
happiest in their local
voluntary communities of
friends, their neighbors, their
civic or charitable work. The
American Republic was founded on
principles prioritizing and
maximizing individual's rights,
to live their best life or to
enjoy what the framers called
the blessing of Liberty is this
radical equality liberty for
all, not just of rights, but of
authority that the rich and
powerful have hated about
democracy in America since 1776.
They resent Americans audacity
in insisting that we don't need
them to tell us how to live. It
is this inalienable right of
self direction of each person's
opportunity to direct himself or
herself and his or her community
to the good that the that is
what the ruling class disdains.
And he just showed it to us
right there. Exactly. And by
omitting what they actually
wrote, and this Jumoke didn't
even get past the introduction,
what a joker. Anyway, we'll
finish it up with the with the
dangerous for women and
Unknown: for women, what are the
most alarming things because
obviously, a national ban on
abortion would be a part of it.
But there's a lot more to it. I
mean, the Comstock Act looms
pretty large, you could use it
in more ways than just to stop
abortion,
fundamentally reshape American
life for women in this country.
I mean, you can see all of that
laid out in Project 2025. But I
do have to say this, it clearly
calls for a national ban on
abortion, they intend to make
that the reality. Also know that
in the ways that they're
defining the ideal family unit,
they are actually trying to put
provisions into, into place to
control us in our decisions. I
mean, this Trad wife kind of
housewife trying to trying to
promote, that's actually a
system of power control over
women's lives. So let's be
clear, everything that we enjoy
today is our normal way of being
right from being able to work to
raise your kids in a way that
you choose to have a partner
that you decide and pick all of
that they're saying they want
the government to control it. So
let's be clear, this is a
dangerous dangerous document
that's laying out exactly what
they plan to do.
Adam Curry: Oh, lordy. What a
lie It's total. I can do you
mind if I just go into one more
quick set here because it stays
on the it stays on the bow the
the Trump thing?
John C Dvorak: If as long as
Yeah, cuz I do have a Trump I
have a clip to play about that.
So I can.
Adam Curry: Now you can you can
come in right after that.
Morning.
Unknown: AMY GOODMAN clip. Oh,
no,
you
didn't say that.
Adam Curry: I tricked you. I
tricked you. Listen to what Amy
Goodman did.
Unknown: Republican presidential
nominee Donald Trump made
headlines this week after
suggesting that this year's
election could be the last US
election if he wins in November.
Adam Curry: Can you believe
that? AMY GOODMAN did this. Amy
Goodman, democracy bully
John C Dvorak: I do believe
Unknown: you do believe less
election if he wins in November
Trump made the comment Friday in
Florida at Turning Point actions
believers point. Any
collusion out and vote justice
time. You won't have to do it
anymore. Four more years. You
know what? It'll be fixed. It'll
be fine.
For more on who's backing
Trump's efforts, we look at a
secret organization for the
Christians who
Adam Curry: are working. Oh no,
it's a secret organization purge
more
Unknown: than a million voters
from the rolls in battleground
states and mobilize Republican
voters to back Trump. It's
called Ziklag. news outlets pro
publica and documented obtain
1000s of sick flags internal
files, and found the group has
divided its 2024 activities into
three different operations
steeplechase which uses churches
to get out the vote, and
watchtower which aims to rally
voters around opposition to
transgender rights.
Adam Curry: This is amazing. So
pro publica did a whole the
Expos a on Ziklag with they have
a website. You can download the
stuff from the website. So the
scariest part there is
checkmate? Oh no. So we have
Watchtower we have I forget the
second one we have going we got
checkmate. They're going to
purge the voter rolls and they
have a scary scary video about
it. The third
Unknown: operation called
checkmate focused on funding so
called election integrity groups
as laid out in this Ziklag
member strategy video. Voter
irregularities are rampid across
all 50 states, but especially
pronounced in battleground
states. public polling confirms
Americans have lost confidence
in electoral integrity. The
federal election already in full
swing, and more must be done to
ensure fair election Since in
the most affordable Republic in
the world, that's the purpose
behind operation checkmate, and
its practical approaches to both
get out the vote and clean
electoral rolls through our
coalition partners. Through
these efforts, we have the
opportunity to play a
significant role in the upcoming
election. Pro
Publica report Ziklag mission is
to take dominion over seven
spheres of public life, which
calls mountains, business,
science and technology, family
arts and media, church education
and government. Oh
Adam Curry: no, the secret
Christians are coming to get
you. They're gonna take dominion
over all of these mountains.
Let's bring in the pro publica
guide to explain Ziklag
Unknown: Ziklag is a secret of
networks of ultra wealthy
Christians, conservative
Christians like it who
John C Dvorak: just got this big
website if they could download
the whole thing. How secret is
that it's secretive,
Adam Curry: this sneaky of ultra
wealthy Christians,
Unknown: conservative Christians
who have this two part goal two
part vision for this country.
One is to get heavily involved
in the 2024 elections in the
ways that you just described
mobilizing pastors oh no
knocking people off the voting
room no non trans people
demonize hate conservative
voters. But then looking toward
the 20 and 30 year horizon
Ziklag school is nothing less
than moving the country toward a
state of Christian nationalism
are having biblical worldviews
quote unquote, biblical truth,
shaping influencing every part
of American culture those seven
mountains that you describe so
this really is, as one expert we
quoted in the story told us a
vision for Christian supremacy
Christian super is a new word.
Adam Curry: Christian
Christianity, Uber, Alice, yes,
we will get you we will
annihilate you. And then Amy
asked the most important
question, what exactly is Ziklag
Ziklag. The
Unknown: name refers to a
biblical reference about David
taking refuge during his
struggle with King Saul. The
analogy here, of course, is that
the Christians in this group
apparently feel that they are
under siege and that this group
is their refuge. But then the
place from which they plan
their, their their campaign,
their assault, to take back
American culture,
Adam Curry: he missed a great
opportunity. Because the story
of Ziklag is that David and his
small band of troops cut off the
hem of their garments, and made
it look like there were many,
many more of these secret
Christians than that was the
trick. I forgot to put that in.
These people are nuts. And I'm
so disappointed in Amy Goodman,
I have no love for Amy Goodman,
but to introduce this secretive
group with a website with videos
you can download, as you know,
as as part of Trump's master
plan to never have Christians or
never have anyone vote again. Is
is just insane. And i i
Unfortunately, people like
Horowitz now, although just
initially, and without some
guidance from his mentor, fall
for it.
John C Dvorak: Here's my last
version of the same thing. This
is the never vote again. This is
again, the insincere guilt
ridden Rachel Maddow doing the
bidding of Brian Roberts, CEO of
Comcast. And here's her version
of that same, that same Trump
we're never going to vote again
bit.
Unknown: Donald Trump told an
audience on Friday night that if
they vote for him this November,
if he's voted back into office
this November, they will never
have to vote again. He told an
audience on Friday to quote get
out and vote just this time. He
said after this time, quote, you
won't have to do it anymore. You
won't have to vote anymore. He
said, quote in four years, you
don't have to vote again. We'll
have it fixed, so good. And
you're not going to have to
vote. Now, this is not the first
time Trump has told the campaign
audience that they will never
have to vote again once they
vote him back in this time. And
that is as alarming as it sounds
for all the reasons that you
immediately think it is right. I
mean, he's positing this like
this is a happy thing. Oh, joy,
never having the burden of
voting again. Right. The point
of democracy is that we vote all
the time. And we like it. That's
how we decide what happens in
our country. He's promising his
followers that he'll end all of
that. And it just, it's exactly
what you think it is. Could
John C Dvorak: you please just
drop right at the end there?
He's promising his followers.
He'll end all that. When does he
ever say that to anybody that
he's going to end it? He doesn't
say that. What he says is you
don't have to worry about it
anymore because because he knows
that the Christian evangelicals
don't like voting. or they don't
seem to get out much. And they
don't have to go back again.
He's never says he's going to
end anything that is a blatant
lie by her and misinterpretation
of what actually happened. And
she does it on purpose. There's
no she's doing it on purpose.
She is not like it's sincere.
Well, you know, I didn't
understand I'm pretty sincere,
though. No, she's not sincere.
She is a liar. It's just It's
deplorable. It's disgusting.
Back How blatant? It is, I
Adam Curry: think is I think is
funny. I mean, I still like to
go back to that color. Not all
of the American public is
stupid. Most
John C Dvorak: of the American
public is stupid. It turns out
well, we'll see. We're gonna end
up with President Harris. Go I
have a when you're done. I want
to play a clip about Harris that
I think needs to be played.
Well.
Adam Curry: I got one more one
more Trump bash.
John C Dvorak: Number another
Trump bash bash.
Adam Curry: Yeah, this is Erin
Burnett back on the scene. Who's
on the ozempic back to her
fighting weight of the old CNBC
days.
John C Dvorak: Ah, she's looking
for work.
Adam Curry: She's primetime.
CNN, um, she's fine. She's she's
she's in the in the Maddow
League. No doubt. No, she's
John C Dvorak: not 30 million.
Adam Curry: She's probably not
doing too bad anyway, who shows
up with some racist stuff?
Because who else who better
would know that? Former
President Donald Trump is
racist. That his nephew Fred,
the breaking
Unknown: news, Donald Trump's
nephew going all in for Kamala
Harris, Fred Trump telling us
he'll join Harris and her team
on a call this week, and that
he's ready to campaign for her
saying that she is the only
person who can move the country
forward. Fred Trump has publicly
for the first
John C Dvorak: she totally
Bridgegate moved the country for
let's bring Mary Trump on next.
Unknown: This guy's great saying
that she is the only person who
can move the country forward.
Fred Trump has publicly for the
first time breaking ranks with
his family, writing about his
relationship with Donald Trump
and his new book, all in the
family and Fred Trump is out
front with me now. Oh,
Adam Curry: he's got a book.
Okay. The old book, the old book
scam. All right. So he's going
to explain to us how he knows
that. Donald J. Trump is a
racist. So I
Unknown: want to talk to you
about something you write in the
book you there's a moment you're
you're young, someone vandalizes
Donald Trump's car. Okay, so
that's the setup. And then about
this moment, right, you say n
words is this is you. I recall
him saying disgustedly. Look
what the n words did. And then
you add, quote, Donald hadn't
seen whoever did this. So it's
it's twofold. It's one that he
didn't say who did it. He makes
an assumption about who it is,
what color they are, and then
refers to them as the N word.
His campaign says this is a
fabricated story. I just want to
give you a chance to respond and
tell me how this story has lived
in your life.
It's the absolute truth. And I
remember as if it were
yesterday, he had a black roof.
He had a roll of electrical
tape, taping up the probably the
slash was about this, this long,
two of them. And he was he was
pressed. And again, he just
assumed it was black people who
had
Adam Curry: done that. And he
called them the N word. Okay.
Well, he remembers as if it was
yesterday, but he's a good guy,
this Fred Trump because he can
connect all kinds of things in
Trump's racist life around this
John C Dvorak: before I looking
at this report on this, this was
in the 1970s. Yes,
Adam Curry: he remembers it as
if it was yesterday.
John C Dvorak: I can't remember
anything from the 1970s. Okay,
all righty, then I have a good
memory, believe me. Around
Unknown: the same time, I had a
bike stolen. I lived in Jamaica,
Queens, and three young black
kids that my age, took my bike
that wasn't going to put up a
fight. And the police called my
mom and said we found the bike
and, and the person one of the
people who had done it. And she
called Donald because my father
unfortunately was not around. We
went to the police station. And
Donald was adamant about the kid
being thrown in jail, which I
just couldn't take. I mean, he
was a kid my age. I didn't want
to be responsible for you or
perhaps I was 10. I didn't want
to be responsible for this kid's
life being changed. Flash
forward 17 years or so. Central
Park Five, same thing. He has no
evidence that those five young
men were guilty of what they
were charged with. Yet he puts
out a full page ad asking for
their
execution. Would you use the
word racist? To describe him?
I think he just believes in
things that racist people say,
Wow, what is that he's
Adam Curry: not a racist. He
just believes in certain things
that racist people say they're
pulling out all the stops on
this one. So
John C Dvorak: in 1970 Fred
Trump, the third was eight. Yes.
And he remembers as clearly as
though you know, it was
yesterday. Yes.
Adam Curry: As an
John C Dvorak: eight at the age
of eight. Yes. Okay.
Adam Curry: Yes. It's fantastic.
It's great. I mean, they are
just, oh, my god, please.
John C Dvorak: He's the brother
of Mary. Of course. Yeah,
Adam Curry: of course. Let me
let me just stick with Aaron
because she had one more guest
on now this and do you have any
of the National Association of
Black Journalists clips because
I got a few.
John C Dvorak: I do have one.
Right. Well,
Adam Curry: let me see. I have a
problem. You gotta.
John C Dvorak: You gotta find
another word.
Adam Curry: Okay. Well, here's
the problem. Let me see.
John C Dvorak: This is not here
it is. I got it.
Adam Curry: Is it a
backgrounder?
John C Dvorak: It's a it's a
NPR, NPR good. I don't have NPR
of NPR. It's it's an NPR short.
It's actually a short clip as an
NPR clip. Where they were they
they? They can't keep themselves
from editorializing in the news
analysis. It's just like, you
can play this if you want to. I
don't know if it's a good
background or not. It does kind
of it it kind of a background.
This is reamp at NAB J
Unknown: former President Donald
Trump made some inflammatory
comments about Vice President
Kamala Harris's racial
background today in a q&a at the
Black Journalists conference,
the GOP nominee question
Harris's black identity. More
from NPR, Stephen Fowler at the
National Association of Black
Journalists convention in
Chicago. Trump's had many
negative things about many
people. But the room gasped when
Trump implied Harris changed how
she identifies herself in racial
terms for political advantage.
I didn't know she was black
until a number of years ago when
she happened to turn black and
now she wants to be known as
black. So I don't know. Is she
Indian? Or is she black
Harris is both her father's
black and her mother is South
Asian. Trump has a history of
calling out his political
rivals, including President
Obama and more recently, former
Governor Nikki Haley and
questioning whether they are
quote American, Steve Wyler, NPR
News. Watch had that
John C Dvorak: question whether
they're American where does he
throw that in it? No one's ever
question whether American what
is what is that bit at the end
there? They then PR should be
ashamed of itself for letting
that debt piece goes through. He
never said anything about them
being American.
Adam Curry: So I actually no,
there was no I saw this whole
thing because I happen to be in
the studio and like, Oh, let me
just watch this as it was coming
in live. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I watched it to a
couple of back roads. A woman
from ABC was just mean. Well,
but then
Adam Curry: he had Harris on the
other side, she seems actually
like him. And, you know, the she
was the journalist all the way
on the right hand side. Yeah,
she's
John C Dvorak: the fox girl.
Adam Curry: Oh, she's Fox. Okay.
I thought she was ABC. Now what?
No, no, ABC
John C Dvorak: is the one in the
blue at the open. Now, just
Adam Curry: in general, I will
say that. I'm now this is the
National Association of Black
Journalists. There was, I don't
know about audible gasp but
there was more clapping than I
expected for people
John C Dvorak: that attended it.
felt that way too. And you
Adam Curry: have to understand
and I understand it because of
my work with Moe, that the black
community as is known of so
called Black people understand
exactly what Trump is saying.
And they know this because they
went through this with Obama.
They knew Obama wasn't African
American Black is a DOS,
American descendant of slavery.
No, but they let him slide
because of Michelle, who is
black, amongst other things. And
he slipped it in another pot.
There it is. The pun. And so the
real disappointment came was
like, Oh, well, the first term
you know, but you know, he's got
Michelle so it'll work now and
then instead of getting anything
for black America, they got a
transgender bathrooms and you
can go listen to my facts with
Adam curry. It's all in there.
So when Trump goes to a roomful
of Black Journalists and says,
God, she's she's not black, and
she used to say that she was
black. In fact, here's a 22 Yes,
John C Dvorak: I was gonna match
Are you gonna have this 2020 The
2020s
Adam Curry: CNN profiled and
John C Dvorak: did a whole 510
minute bid on her being Indian.
My
Unknown: mother, who raised
me and my sister was a proud
woman.
She was a brown woman.
A woman with a heavy accent. And
her mother Shamala Gopalan was
also the biggest influence in
Kamala Harris's life. In 1958, a
precocious 19 year old Indian
Gopalan traveled 1000s of miles
from her home and family to
pursue a doctorate in nutrition
and endocrinology in America.
She soon became an active civil
rights Crusader while studying
at UC Berkeley. In her book,
Harris says, There is no title
or honor on earth, I'll treasure
more than to say I am Shyamala
Gopalan, Harris's daughter,
Paris's visits to India with a
mother kept her connected to her
roots. A grandfather who had
strong views on humanitarian
issues, worked closely with
officials to reallocate
refugees. Paris's maternal uncle
Gopalan. Balachandran, who lives
in Delhi tells us how the
senator turns to her Amma, which
means mother in Tamil for
guidance, even after her death.
I don't
have to tell her mother. She's
already telling me everything
that I do I myself, Amma approve
of this timeline.
Hindi means lotus flower and is
an important symbol in Indian
culture, rooted deep in the
bottom of the river, very
similar to Harris's Indian
identity, which she wears on her
sleeve. So
Adam Curry: a couple things
about that that I liked. One is
her grandfather talks about
Obama. But these days Kamala
Harris talks about Auntie Yeah.
Which is, you know, that's
that's what you say if you're a
black American, oh, auntie,
auntie, no, but it's Alma.
That's what you she used to say.
And also, you know, what's been
going around is Kamala means
garbage gobbling you know, look
at it, put it in Google
Translate. But in Hindi, it
means blossoming flower, lotus
flower, I guess? I guess they
John C Dvorak: didn't have Yeah,
I looked up the nose. Now. No,
it does. And it means it means
horrible in Finnish, and it
means horrible in Greek.
Adam Curry: So, by the way, as
an aside, this whole racist now
not forget about that. So what
I'd like to do, because I have
multiple versions of, of Trump
at the National Association of
Black Journalists, perhaps it's
better instead of playing
snippets, I would just like to
play the full first question, so
called question and his answer.
So people can will emanate, if
not on a podcast where else so
people can get the actual
context of what happened knowing
that he was on time, they had an
hour, he had a an Beata set
scheduled to leave, apparently,
that they couldn't get their
equipment to work. So they
started 3530 minutes late or 35
minutes late. Yeah, which is
rude. And it's also lame,
especially for the National
Association of Black
Journalists. You think that that
have it all together? I think
it's worth it. Just to listen to
how he was greeted, he walks in,
sits down. And everything else
you hear on the M five M is all
caught up. It's, you know, it's
it's just it's not honest. And
this is the honest audio of what
happened.
Unknown: Mr. President, we so
appreciate you giving us an hour
of your time. I want to start by
addressing the elephant in the
room, sir. A lot of people did
not think it was appropriate for
you to be here today. You have
pushed false claims about some
of your rivals, from Nikki Haley
to former President Barack Obama
saying that they were not born
in the United States, which is
not true. You have told for
Congressman women of color, who
were American citizens to go
back to where they came from.
You have used words like animal
and rabbit to describe black
district attorneys. You've
attacked Black Journalists
calling them a loser saying the
questions that they asked are,
quote, stupid and racist. You've
had dinner with a white
supremacist at your Mar a Lago
resort. So my question, sir, now
that you were asking black
supporters to vote for you, why
should black voters trust you,
after you have used language
like that?
Adam Curry: So I mean, to be
honest, that's a pretty
aggressive opening. And what I
find insulting to my
intelligence is he says that
stuff to all journalists and
people, but she just says, Well,
you you said to black people,
you're she's highlighting the
black people. This is so this is
racist. It's just that these
people are racist. The whole
thing is unnecessary we don't
America is not racist like this.
John C Dvorak: I will I have to
mention some of the I'm pretty
sure it's not in the second
section you're playing is later
he says he's talking about
immigration being a big threat
and his taken away Black Light
jobs. Yeah. And she said we're
and if she does, this pulls the
snow what's a black job? because
this is the thing, he says black
jobs that everybody's it's just
a job that blacks have. It's
like white jobs, white jobs,
black jobs doesn't make any
difference. They've taken away
jobs. It just so happens, you're
taking away jobs from blacks are
taken away from whites and taken
away from Mexicans or taken away
from everybody or Mexican
Americans. He is just another
one of these misinterpretations
of his implicit, simplistic way
of presenting it, some of these
facts. Okay. All right. So
Adam Curry: here's his answer.
Unknown: Well, first of all, I
don't think I've ever been asked
the question. So in such a
horrible manner, first question,
you don't even say hello, how
are you with ABC because I think
they're a fake news network, a
terrible.
Adam Curry: I mean, there's
laughing there, he's already got
the crowd laughing.
Unknown: And I think it's
disgraceful that I came here, in
good spirit. I love the black
population of this country. I've
done so much for the black
population of this country,
including employment, including
opportunity zones with Senator
Tim Scott of South Carolina,
which is one of the greatest
programs ever for black workers
and black entrepreneurs have
done so much. And you know, and
I say this, historically, black
colleges and universities were
out of money, they were stone
cold broke, and I saved them.
And I gave them long term
financing, and nobody else was
doing it. I think it's a very
rude introduction. I don't know
exactly why you would do
something like that. And let me
go a step further. I was invited
here and I was told my opponent,
whether it was Biden or Kamala,
I was told my opponent was going
to be here, it turned out my
opponent isn't here. You invited
me under false pretense. And
then you said, you can't do it
with Zoom? Well, you know, with
Zoom, she's going to do it with
Zoom, and she's not coming. And
then you are half an hour late,
just so we understand. I have
too much respect to you to be
late. They couldn't get their
equipment working or something
was wrong. I would like think
it's very nasty. Wife. I have
answered the question,
especially with another I have
been the best president for the
black population. Since Abraham
Lincoln. That's
my answer. President Johnson
designed the Voting Rights Act,
you
just start off a question and
answer period especially when
you're 35 minutes late, because
you couldn't get your equipment
to work in such a hostile
manner. I think it's a disgrace.
I really do. Let
me just ask a follow up sir. And
then we'll move on to other
questions here.
Adam Curry: I mean, the whole
thing was was interesting was I
thought it was he just says I'm
just gonna tell you the way it
is. And anyone who watches that
with with me Well, no, I mean,
we I guess we have a great
portion of the population who's
just all in on racism. Good.
Well, we get the government we
deserve beautiful bunch of
racism racist racist, racist
that all races is nuts.
John C Dvorak: And if you
listen, Chief when she went on
to ABC News, Nightly News did
present I don't have the clip.
But when she presented the to
David Muir, she was just this
had that same grimace on her
face, and she was really she
just hates Trump. It's like, it
was just so obvious. It was
well, he was unbelievable. So
Adam Curry: Erin Burnett had had
her on as well, because now of
course, you're a journalist. You
have to be part of the story.
Now, isn't there some rule
against that? Like you
John C Dvorak: never want to
you're not supposed to do that?
Yeah, well,
Adam Curry: she's doing it.
She's gone the rounds, but I
didn't clip her. I clip the
Democratic strategist who's, I
guess part of the part of the
movers and the shakers in the
Democrat Party, Aisha Mills, and
she summed it up and
Unknown: Aisha Mills is with me
now. Right? I used to so you
know, you heard the he was
supposed to come for an hour,
but you know, he's up to 35
minutes. I just can't emphasize
enough that he
Adam Curry: don't you just love
that. What? Yeah. Oh, yeah. He
was supposed to right off
John C Dvorak: the bat. They
lie. You know, your hair and
brunette lied right there on the
spot. Yep.
Adam Curry: Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Yep. Yep. That's what you do.
That's what you do. That's why
we're here. And
Unknown: I Aisha Mills is with
me now. Right. I used to so you
know, you heard the I mean, he
was supposed to come for an
hour, but you know, he sat for
35 minutes. I just can't
emphasize enough that he chose
to be there. He wanted to be
there. And he took his time to
go there. Right. All of those
things are true. So what do you
think is the outcome of this?
Everywhere he goes, there he is.
Okay. Now,
Adam Curry: now the John, we
have to remember this one.
Everywhere he goes. There he is.
So what do you think maybe the
lady writing Kamala scripts?
John C Dvorak: Only everywhere
he
Adam Curry: goes, there he is.
Unknown: Oh, come up this.
Everywhere he goes, there he is.
Okay. Donald Trump is going to
Donald Trump everywhere he goes.
He's going to be Donald Trump.
He has always been John It's
disrespectful and have such
disdain for the media, first of
all, for black people in general
and certainly for black women
who are members of the media,
you can just roll the tapes back
and see how he's treated.
Everybody pretty much he was
black in his in his press room,
but specifically someone who was
a friend of CNN April Ryan, the
nasty things that he has come
out and said about her. So I
wasn't surprised at all that
Donald Trump sat there and was
so frustrated and just evil to
the people who were questioning
him and expecting him to answer
and account for himself because
that is something that he
doesn't do well. He has such
vitriol and and a horrible
recoiling at anyone who ever
questioned his judgment, who
asked him to explain himself who
asked him to back up with facts,
his positions, his attitude, his
beliefs, and certainly when it's
coming from black women, he
doesn't have any patience or
tolerance for it, and that's
what we saw on display.
Adam Curry: So here I'm gonna
show you these last two this is
Nora O'Donnell. This is CBS This
is about him questioning. Kamala
Harris is code switch, which she
did. Everyone sees it, her code
switch into a black woman.
Unknown: You just heard it.
Former President Trump says vice
president Kamala Harris happened
to turn black a few years ago,
questioning the racial identity
as he takes questions from the
National Association of Black
Journalists. Good evening, I'm
Nora O'Donnell and thank you for
being with us. We start tonight
with a fact check. The Vice
President's heritage is both
Indian and Jamaican, but that
didn't stop the Republican
presidential nominee from
accusing her of downplaying
parts of her identity during the
combative interview in front of
a jeering crowd. Remember,
Donald Trump rose to political
prominence in part by falsely
claiming that former President
Barack Obama was not born in
America. CBS Nicole Killian was
in the room in Chicago.
Adam Curry: So of course, we we
all know that the only time
you're black is when you vote
for Democrats, because Joe Biden
said it said it's Charlemagne to
God. But here's the full report.
Unknown: There was no applause
as former President Trump walked
out on stage. Instead, it was a
mix of boos and some outburst.
One question in the former
president quickly pin one of the
moderators who asked about some
of his past comments,
why doesn't he show his birth
certificate since you're racist?
There's
some denigrating people of color
and black journalists.
I think it was just crazy. I
Adam Curry: know. I don't even
think they did even say that in
the interview.
John C Dvorak: Remember that but
it's just chopping it up. Yeah,
well, that's
Unknown: what you do to racist.
There are some
denigrating people of color and
black journalists.
I think it's disgraceful that I
came here in good spirit. I love
the black population of this
country. I think it's a very
rude introduction.
Trump was then asked about
presumptive Democratic nominee
Kamala Harris.
Do you believe that Vice
President Kamala Harris is only
on the ticket because she is a
black woman? Well, I
can say no, I think it's maybe a
little bit different. She was
always of Indian heritage. And
she was only promoting Indian
heritage. I didn't know she was
black until a number of years
ago when she happened to turn
black and now she wants to be
known as Black. Indian, or is
she black? And she was Indian
all the way. And then all of a
sudden she made a turn and she
went, she became a black.
Just to be clear, sir.
Do you think I think somebody
should look into that too, when
you ask a continue in a very
hostile nasty tone.
Trump's remarks sparked backlash
from Harris, who was the
daughter of Jamaican and Indian
immigrants went through in
historically black college and
is a member of a black sorority.
Her campaign called it the same
hostility he has shown
throughout his life. The White
House called it insulting what
he just said, what you just read
out to me
is repulsive.
Adam Curry: By the way, even
though I went to college for
three months, I actually plaque
pledge with the with the campus,
I carried a brick around, I
guess, I guess I can say I'm
black now.
John C Dvorak: You might as
well. Couple of things. One,
where's Kamala Harris's dad?
Adam Curry: No, he's in Jamaica.
We got to keep them out of the
picture because of you know, the
slave ownership and all that of
his family as we got to keep
that quiet.
John C Dvorak: He's also rebuked
her. Yes, he has in a book.
Well, he's rebuked Yes. And he
rebuked her more recently when
she when she made some joke
about smoking dope. Yeah. And
then and claimed it had to do
with their Jamaican heritage. He
thought that that was an insult
to stereotype. Yes, he went on
and on about it. He has not seen
her talk to her. They the family
broke up when she was three. So
she was raised in Indian. Raised
in Canada. This is a this is a
hoax. This entire presidential
campaign by Kamla. Harris is is
basically a hoax on the American
public. Well remember, they're
sucking it up because the media
has switched from Oh, she's no
good to us. She's the best ever.
And, of course, this
Adam Curry: offers opportunities
for potential vice presidential
candidates to step up to the
plate. Here's Mark Kelly.
Unknown: Joining me now is the
Democratic senator from Arizona
and potential vice presidential
pick for vice president Harris.
Mark Kelly, it's great to have
you here as Senator, I know, you
have had a very busy day. But I
just I do want to know your
reaction when you heard what
Donald Trump said on stage and
Chicago today questioning vice
president Harris's heritage?
Well, Kailyn My first reaction
was, you know, this is the
reaction of a desperate and
scared old man. It's very
obvious to me watching him and
just what I've seen over the
last week while she's been
across the country, just kicking
his butt, that he's afraid that
he's probably afraid to debate
or he's certainly afraid to lose
an election to her in November,
and he's afraid about his own
future. So I'm not surprised to
see it. And I understand the you
know, what he's up against, I
mean, he's up against an
experienced prosecutor, somebody
who served as the DEA and an
attorney general in the Senate
and now the vice president very
successfully. You put Kamala
Harris's record up to Donald
Trump, but there's no comparison
and the contrast is just is
can't be more significant. Now.
Adam Curry: I think. If you're
now she's going to do a speech
in Pennsylvania on Tuesday,
supposedly, she'll have her vice
presidential pick, they're on
stage. I think Mark Kelly still
in the running although I still
like most idea of Westmore to
make an all black ticket just to
go all in on the racism. I'm
gonna do a short clip. I'm
pretty sure it's neither going
to be Shapiro or Whitmer. And
the reason I say that is because
they were both on the campaign
trail together.
Unknown: Michigan Governor
Gretchen Whitmer and
Pennsylvania Governor Josh
Shapiro were in Ambler yesterday
rally a crowd of more than 1000
people at a Harris or President
event it was taken High School
Shapiro telling the crowd
they've seen how close these
elections can be, with 55,000
votes between Pennsylvania
Michigan back in 2016. New
polling from Fox News shows
Trump and Harris essentially
tied among registered voters in
Pennsylvania. The voting process
to officially name Harris the
nominee is expected to start
this week as electronic ballots
will be sent to delegates.
Harris's search for vice
president is ongoing. The list
of potential candidates getting
more narrow with Shapiro in
Arizona Senator Mark Kelly said
to be among the front runners.
We now know North Carolina
Governor Roy Cooper has opted
not to be a candidate for
Harris's running mate. Shapiro
has vowed to do whatever he can
to help get Harris elected.
Kamala Harris knows real freedom
means worshiping where you want,
living how you want, and
experiencing the bountiful of
freedom all across this nation
in rural urban and suburban
communities. That is real
freedom and that is what we are
fighting for. I don't think he's
gonna be it. Well, if he's
John C Dvorak: should be the
front runner. I have some
different thoughts on this. But
before we continue, I'd like to
play the Judge Joe Brown clip to
get another perspective
afterwards,
Adam Curry: who is Judge Joe
Brown. Brown is
John C Dvorak: a famous he used
to be a prosecutor used to be in
LA. He is a he's a TV judge, but
he's not he's a was an actual
judge. And he's a personality.
He's an old guy. He's like 77
and he's been saying he's been
blasted for this particular this
and some other things he's been
saying he's been going around
podcast because he really does
not like Kamla Harris and he's
run into her. And a lot of
people
Adam Curry: don't like her I
mean, even interns are coming
out and doing interviews saying
that oh, we couldn't look at her
when she came in in the morning
and we've had to say good
morning general
John C Dvorak: Wow, that doesn't
actually doesn't surprise me
right. Yeah. I have some
thoughts on the vice presidency
app but let's play and I would
not say for work clip I think
maybe the you should cover your
children's ears. At least for
the beginning and let's listen
to this was the podcast that I
just want to tell you which one
it was versus on a
Adam Curry: podcast that's where
all the good stuff is. That's
where the meat and potatoes are
baby. This
John C Dvorak: was on I can get
my head here open. It was one of
the it was the art of dialogue
podcast. And he got blasted Vibe
magazine for this adventure.
This is only part of what he
said I like to get the whole
podcast and get some more clips
from it, but here we go. But I
Unknown: gotta ask you about
Kamala Harris how you feel about
her. She's a piece a shit,
because in California, she
lacked professional competence.
And she worked on it by hiking
up her hem line when she needed
phones rather than researching,
she's always tried to do the
casting couch to get where she
wants. Now the problem is, is
that we'll get somebody to a
certain level quickly, which
can't get past that level of you
know, have competence and
talent. So my thing about it is,
is if I'm crude about it, in
this city years ago, I used to
represent a whole bunch of pimps
and hoes and I know a whole when
I see one, and I say this, I
don't care woman you do what you
want to do if you want to have
recreational sex, but when you
do the casting couch or anything
else for professional purposes
to get paid or advance you Oh,
and she's old hoe and the
problem is is what is she
supposed to do? Somebody want to
hurt cinco five slaves comes up
on unwraps her in a carpet naked
Putin feet? And he says, oh,
yeah, do you CZ said know how I
got better stuff here already.
Plus, I don't watch any way you
oh, woman yet? Oh, no. You know,
z's in being is he's supposed to
be impressed. She's doing word
salad. Well, we're here today.
Adam Curry: Yeah, we need to
have that whole podcast. Yeah,
there's a lot of people who feel
that way about Vice President
Harris. A few more things just
before we take a break,
something that you know, Trump
did say in that National
Association of Black
Journalists. He said, our whole
campaign was geared towards
Biden. So now we have to switch.
I'm surprised by that. I'm
surprised by him saying it. I'm
surprised that they didn't see
that coming. And it seems like
they were taken a little bit
aback that they had to pivot.
And they had a whole strategy
lined up against poor old Joe.
To, you know, to hammer him
down. Did you Did you hear that
part where you said that? Oh,
yeah,
John C Dvorak: I heard that. And
he did. And I guess he was
sincere.
Adam Curry: I'd take him at his
word. Yeah. Yeah. So now they
are doing what they can. And
this is a I guess it's either
super PAC or someone did A a hit
piece ad on Kamala, I don't
think it's I don't know if it
airs on television, because it's
more than a minute. But here it
is. And it's it's well done. But
I don't know if it's gonna, if
it's going to, you know if it's
going to come to the level of
the race card,
Unknown: a warning to America 25

that no that kind of thing
doesn't work no
Adam Curry: it's it's a vibe
thing is trying to get you know
the scary music and everything.
So the vice president Harris did
a rally in in Atlanta at the
college there and she had the
auditorium full I
John C Dvorak: saw this this was
I would
Adam Curry: say most of the
people there came because Megan
the stallion not just showed up
but she performed Megan the
stallion is big news. I caught a
I caught a a tick talker a tick
tock who had something to say
about this
Unknown: talk tick tock
Adam Curry: which is I'll call
her boots on the ground.
Unknown: Okay just in case you
did not know it on yesterday
Kamala Kamala Harris had a rally
in Atlanta and it gave you like,
oh hyped for her like people are
so excited for her. I know you
felt it I know you thought She
even brought out ratchet Megan,
the stallion shaking her butt
working for political rally
talking about how these four
hairs that did not say you're
somebody like that is pandering,
like if you've ever heard it,
but but that's not the Ketchum.
Do not let them rally looking
for for you. Because Bolton
County has been doing this for
years. Before the rallies, they
get bus loads, and they go pick
up the homeless people. They
offered them food drink and a
little change to come to the
rally. So the rallies will look
forward. Now you got to realize
she just dealt with the rally.
And I want to say what's
Pennsylvania where he was less
than 60 people? It was quite
embarrassing for her. And so
that's not going to go down and
it's blackity Black 50. Okay,
it's just not going to go down.
They are absolutely going to
make sure that they look packed
out.
Adam Curry: I believe that.
Yeah. And she says that as the
whole clip as long as you said,
Oh, that's what they always do
in Atlanta. They always round up
the homeless people just like
Governor Pritzker Pritzker and
Mayor Johnson are now moving
illegals out of downtown Chicago
to the south side. So you won't
see it during the convention.
That makes sense.
John C Dvorak: We did that in
San Francisco was when she came
Yes. Yes. So she came to see
Adam Curry: someone. We still
have the Biden issue. We have
Daddy Long Legs walking around.
Well,
John C Dvorak: before you can go
into that, since you brought up
this this ad with the 25 things.
I believe that the best ad you
can play to slam Camela Kamala
Kamal on whatever Mojave
pronounce racist, you're gonna
have to look this up. You're
going to put the engine in
because it's not on this clip
list. But it's the Tulsi to
thought to the Tulsi 2020
debate, our E Harish clip I want
Unknown: to bring the
conversation back to the broken
criminal justice system that is
disproportionately negatively
impacting black and brown people
all across this country today of
Senator Harris says she's proud
of her record as a prosecutor
and that she'll be a prosecutor
president, but I'm deeply
concerned about this record.
There are too many examples to
cite. But she put over 1500
people in jail for marijuana
violations and then laughed
about it when she was asked if
she ever smoked marijuana. She
blocked evidence. She blocked
evidence that would have freed
an innocent man from death row
until the courts forced her to
do so she kept people in prison
beyond their sentences to use
them as cheap labor for the
state of California. And she
fought to keep cash bail system
in place that impacts poor
people in the worst kind of way.
Thank you, Congresswoman.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: well, we'll see the
debate you
John C Dvorak: will see, you'll
never hear that. Republicans are
no more competent to
Adam Curry: now. Now they're not
No I mean, I'm what's happening
here is it's obvious we just
have to make it look like she's
viable. So then when they cheat,
then if they can cheat better
than the Republicans are going
to cheat. I'm sorry. The
Christian nationalists with
their
John C Dvorak: Zeke lobbying
ways
Adam Curry: they're Ziggler.
Secret zyk Law Group.
John C Dvorak: You know, the
senators go to church. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Let me let me finish
my
John C Dvorak: Well, my boy, I
also want to get in my little
comment about the vice president
pick. Okay, before it happened.
That's important
Adam Curry: because it leads
into this Yes.
John C Dvorak: It's possible
because you did more you read
about this Judge Joe Brown and
his experiences and what he
thinks of, of Camela and other
people that I've heard he
Adam Curry: may get elevated.
John C Dvorak: The other people
I've heard about Kamala being
basically lazy. That's why she
pulled
Adam Curry: up her skirt. Racist
racist.
John C Dvorak: She's basically
lazy as a just as a because she
was if you look at Kamala when
she was in college earlier, she
was beautiful when she's 60 now
but when she was 20 different
different look. And there is a
tendency for pretty girls to not
you know, just coast and it's
possible that this is already
too much work for her going in
giving the speech interesting
sake. I
Adam Curry: like it. I like it.
John C Dvorak: She's got this is
getting too hard. Isn't she
can't use her looks anymore
because she's you know She's had
a facelift. We noticed that a
couple years ago, she's to try
and make herself look, she's not
60 looking, but she's 60 She
might sabotage your own campaign
and that would be putting in the
black guy that that mo thinks
could be worse election. That
would be a sabotage picks, you'd
be sabotaging yourself, or
putting in Pete budaj Edge,
which would be sabotaging
herself. She might sabotage the
campaign herself, because she
really doesn't want this job.
Well,
Adam Curry: that's I like that's
very interesting. And it kind of
flows into what do we do with
Joe? Daddy Long Legs walking
around is undeniable. There is a
guy who from time to time that
is posing as Joe Biden, he is
noticeably taller. We don't know
why it's so obvious that either
it's meant to come out. Or as we
know, they were in a real bind.
And the normal guys on vacation,
they couldn't get him back in
time. The CrowdStrike flights
made a problem. He missed his
flight misses connection. Yeah.
He couldn't come out strikes the
problem. CrowdStrike Yeah, yeah.
Some of you didn't said, Hey,
maybe it's Obama with the mask
going now? I don't think so.
It's funny. It's funny. But
Daddy Long Legs is walking
around. What are we going to do
with Joe? Now, if if Kamala is
going to sabotage, let's say
maybe someone wants to help her
and sabotage or the worst thing
that could happen, the worst
thing would be that President
Biden would die or have a stroke
or something, because then and
if it would have would have to
happen pretty quick. Maybe I'm
sure President Biden is going to
show up at the convention. It
could happen there. Because then
she would have to assume the
office of the president. That
would probably limit some of her
campaigning capabilities. But no
matter what, she will be blamed
for everything, particularly the
ramp up in the Middle East right
now, which I don't think is a
coincidence that Netanyahu was
just with Trump and Trump's
like, you know, once you ramped
it up a bit, so I can look like
a hero for the October surprise
when I negotiate a peace deal.
I'm just shooting from the hip
here. But someone recommended
Tina and I watch a movie from
1993. I have a short clip of the
trailer. And I will explain how
this could possibly play out as
a an example of life imitating
art.
Unknown: The chief is the one we
all say, Hey,
Dave COVID was an ordinary guy.
Your government needs your help.
We just happen to look like the
president. You're a very
handsome man. Famous president.
Just get rid of a grin. You look
like a schmuck. Something
has happened to the President.
What about the vice president?
The Vice President is mentally
unbalanced.
Legal. Probably. Suddenly, Dave
has a great job.
I can't tell you the whole story
of a national emergency kind of.
You gotta help me cut them. So
Adam Curry: that's the movie
Dave, starring Kevin Kline and
Sigourney Weaver. And even
though it's not at all the same
scenario, what happens? The plot
of this is the the actual
president has a stroke. And
he's, he's a vegetable, he's not
going to recover evil forces who
are actually running things
within the White House, kind of
like the chief of staff guy. He
doesn't want to concede or cede
his power within the whole
system and in the world. So they
bring in Kevin Kline, who is a
lookalike, and he then plays the
president, he goes on to do good
things. But the trick they play
is once the the President is a
David this case, but the
original president is accused of
campaign finance, corruption and
all kinds of shenanigans going
on. He does a State of the
Union. And he then fakes a
stroke, they throw him in the
ambulance, they do a switcheroo.
And then they take out the
almost dead president, and then
he dies four months later, this
could be an awesome opportunity
to bring out Daddy Long Legs,
fake a stroke, and then bring
out the body and then make
Kamala president because they
got to get rid of Joe somehow
they have to deal with the fact
that he's incapacitated or dead
or, or whatever.
John C Dvorak: Well, I want to
see what happens on the first
day of the convention, which is
coming up pretty soon, because
that's when he's supposed to
give his speech. First
Adam Curry: day, yep, first day.
Well, wouldn't be nuts if that
happened.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it would be
nuts. Hey, I don't see it as
dirt
Adam Curry: pasture. COVID I'll
believe anything and everything
can happen in this world. Hold
on with that. I'd like to thank
you for your courage say in the
morning to you the man who put
the sea and crackers for Camela
say hello to my friend on the
other end the one the only Mr.
John
John C Dvorak: cranial morning
the ships at the sea and a boots
on the ground the feet near subs
in the water the names of the
nights out there in
Adam Curry: the morning to the
trolls and the troll room head
on. That's not bad. We're a buck
36 in and we've got 2038 trolls
on the troll room. That's only
that's almost equal to the last
Thursday show that we did. So
we're on par good. Good to have
you trolls here that checking us
out at troll room.io You can log
in, listen to the live stream.
This is a 24 hour 24/7
operation. There's tons of live
shows going on. If not, it's a
repeat of other podcasts all
parts of no agenda nation this
the troll room has been around
for 15 years. Thank you void
zero. Of course, you may be
listening on a modern podcast
app, we recommend that you do
that for a number of reasons.
One, you are protecting the
freedom of speech of all
podcasters. Because if you use a
legacy app, you just might find
that your favorite podcast has
been D platformed. From Apple or
from Spotify. They do about
three a day. So you know you
eventually it's going to be one
that you listen to. And for
other reasons these modern
podcast apps notify you when we
go live. You get the bad signal.
You can listen you can't listen
to a live show in Apple
podcasts. You can't listen to a
live show on Spotify, right? No,
you can't. No, you can't. No,
this is a podcasting 2.0
feature. And by the way, you and
I have been doing live to tape
with a live studio audience for
as long as I can remember, we've
always done a live whenever we
started the stream that was
probably about 15 years ago. I
John C Dvorak: just find it hard
to believe that you can't listen
to a live podcast on Apple. How
hard can it be?
Adam Curry: Because they're
Apple they have oh, I'm sorry.
Void zero. Mark just says the
troll room has been there for 17
years. He says actually even
longer we started it when you
did one of your last daily
source codes. That's how long
it's been around. No, no. They,
they had they smoke their own
dope over there. And they're
good people that work there. But
it's a cost center for them. It
will make any money on Apple
podcasts.
John C Dvorak: They just it's
just a loss leader. Be a
Adam Curry: loss leader call
away you want em they still
dominating, they still dominate.
But if you look, if you look at
this show, we have about 45% of
people listening on modern
podcast app. So booya. Also,
when we publish this the same
for every single podcast, when a
new published when a new episode
was published, you get notified
within 90 seconds, no waiting an
hour or two hours or sometimes
eight hours for some reason.
What Yes, it's another
podcasting. 2.0 invention. Sir,
Sir Brian of London actually
started off it's called pod
ping, we have a hard Candidate
B, and apples welcome to
participate. By the way, they're
more than welcome. All these
protocols are open and freely
available. They could do it at
any time. So
John C Dvorak: it doesn't cost
them anything to upgrade to a
system that works better.
Adam Curry: In fact, it will
cost them much less because they
now have to pull every single
one of the millions of podcasts
they have in their index to see,
you know, is there a new
upgrade?
John C Dvorak: Is there an
update, they can save money, a
lot of money. And it's free.
Adam Curry: Free for anybody to
use? Yes,
John C Dvorak: it makes no
sense. All of the big names that
you're saying makes no sense.
There must be something else
going on.
Adam Curry: But let me just
explain how it works. So the way
it used to work and it was okay,
when there were a couple 1000
podcasts, you know, you just
your your podcast app, and now
it's Apple does it through their
servers through their index goes
to every single one of the
podcast feeds and says, Do you
have any? Do you have a new
episode? Do you have new
episodes? And I do it every 15
minutes? Some do it more
frequently? And it's no okay,
no, no. And so in some cases,
they actually bringing in the
entire feed can be a megabyte
can be a couple megabytes worth
of data. So it's an incredible
waste of resources with POD
ping. When you upload to your
hosts like Buzzsprout or
blueberry or rss.com. I mean all
of these guys, they then hit the
pod ping system, which you can
just sit there and say, oh, oh,
there's a new episode from no
agenda. And then you just go in
you and you update
John C Dvorak: your database.
What if they missed the ping?
Oh, it's
Adam Curry: retrofits you can
you can always go back and say,
give me the last 15 minutes of
pings or the last three days of
pings. So there's no missing at
the pings or it's Believe it or
not, it's a blockchain. So the
pings from day one are there.
Yeah. Blockchain it is mole.
It's an actual use of
blockchain. I know. So, this is
the modern way of doing it. This
is this is why we are winning it
In the media war,
John C Dvorak: yeah, we're
winning everything but
donations.
Adam Curry: So we'd like to
thank people who support us with
value for value. This is no,
there's no $30 million for us.
But of course we don't have to
lie for it. We can go to bed and
think I'm a popper, but I'm
happy about it. That's the way I
see it. You may have different
viewpoints but we put value into
the show I think we do pretty
good. We do a consistently I've
been doing it for I'll it'll be
17 years in October.
John C Dvorak: And we well
actually we do pretty well.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but I want to
speak good or English than you.
And so we don't ask for anything
in return. Other than if you got
any kind of value out of the
show anything at all, even if
you just laugh. In fact,
primarily if you laugh, hit us
up with some value back, you can
do it with time, talent or
treasure. And one of the obvious
ways that people provide us with
with time and talent is our
artists. They are busy during
every single live show, trying
to come up with great ideas for
for artwork, because we believe
that that is what we know that
that is an excellent way to
market the show because someone
sees it coming through in their
timeline. It's a laugh, like,
what are these guys doing? It's
a reminder that we're funny that
we're a comedy show, but we also
deconstruct media. And we want
to thank the artists from
Episode 1681. We titled it daddy
long legs and the exception to
the rule but we had a piece of
art that pertained to the title.
And this was for Matthew drop
code 1972. And he had Kamala
Joe, Joe one and Joe two right
there with the height
differences in a lineup. It was
an AI piece. We thought it was
the best. And
John C Dvorak: it was a lot it
was before you say we thought it
was the best. There was a lot of
really good and usable pieces.
Lots.
Adam Curry: So right off the
bat, we're gonna say we're not
going to put the Olympic rings
up there because that is I mean,
they're, they're taking down
videos, they're causing all
kinds of problems for people
putting up anything Olympics.
Yep.
John C Dvorak: So we can't do
it. Can I do it? The Olympic
Peninsula in New Washington when
they had the Winter Olympics,
they were they were sued.
Olympia, Washington was sued by
these guys, these guys are nuts.
So you can't use the rings, you
will get sued and we don't need
that kind of aggravation. So
that's, that's out. Now
Adam Curry: looking at the rice
President of the United States
out of context of which it was
said was a little even too
racist for us. So that's why we
didn't use any of the rice and
because no one you have to hear
the show to understand what it's
about. There were a number of
tall Biden gags let me see
Darren O'Neal had Biden on
stilts we had what is this? Dame
Kenny Ben had, like, like a
mugshot wall with the two
Biden's Scarah.
John C Dvorak: Manga had a good
one too.
Adam Curry: What did he have
wanted? He
John C Dvorak: had a really
super tall, long laid kick. Yes.
Adam Curry: Yeah, he did have
Yeah, I had that one. There was
a lot of wood. There were a lot
of weird fingers. That didn't
work at all.
John C Dvorak: There was Trump
that arc de Trump arc
Adam Curry: to Trump, which was
good, but again, out of context.
You just don't get it. Yeah, it
was like going to be that was
Darren, that was a good AI
prompt job.
John C Dvorak: I don't know how
he did that with some believe. I
bet it was just got it down. I
told him he should go into
business. Yes.
Adam Curry: Ai images. Which,
you know, there's a new report
out that shows that it's not
that it's not going to work,
that you can do images. I mean,
there's it's a, it's a very
detailed report. But in general,
the the, the conclusion is AI is
not going to get any better.
It's only going to get worse.
It's bigger models, more models
on top of each other. It's just
it's not working. All we're
going to have is some
interesting image generators,
and some chat bots. That's all
that's being we got a chat bot.
Here's another chat. I think
John C Dvorak: that's where it
that's where it's limited. In
what, that's where it's going to
end right there. Yes, generators
that are that are based on old
stuff because you can't put
those images back into the
system because they grow hairs.
Yes, they
Adam Curry: do. Grow hairs is
the right term to and
John C Dvorak: you can't do the
same with the with the
information. It has to all be
frozen in time and then you have
to update with modern news
Adam Curry: and all it is just
chatbots it's just chatbots
that's it. We got to chat,
John C Dvorak: and they stink
and the thing that you said
about that 950 page report. It's
just a bunch of you know, yeah,
can be exactly
Adam Curry: just as much a yak
yak yak yak yak. So thank you
very much, Matthew drop co 1972.
Good job. Thank you to all of
the artists all of them,
including Matthew drop Co. are
Dutch masters.
John C Dvorak: I did use sir
shoe bugs rice, President of the
United States, yes. For the
newsletter, but
Adam Curry: in the newsletter is
within context of people who
listen to the show. So I think
that makes total sense. By the
way, what I did not see maybe I
missed it. Did you put in the
link to the PDF for the city's
wealth book? So
John C Dvorak: I got called out
I forgot to do that. And I
surprised that when I sent the
thing in for approval that
didn't get oh,
Adam Curry: sorry. Do you know
that when you when you send me
the thing for approval, all
those images and all that other
stuff you put in there is never
in it? No, I
John C Dvorak: know. Okay, so
Adam Curry: how could I have
known? Well, I would have been
John C Dvorak: I was going to do
it as a section, but it's going
in the next newsletter The next
because I got we got it down. We
got two different sources for
this called this cities of
wealth. I had the I had the
title five cooked by guest my
memory going back 45 years was
Adam Curry: it's actually the
city's wealth. The
John C Dvorak: city's wealth.
Yes. And it has to do with the
Berkeley in particular. And it's
fascinating you looked at I'm
sure that it's not and
Adam Curry: I put it in the show
notes under Kamala. So you can
find her Kamala Yes. By the way,
I forgot to mention Happy
Birthday MTV. MTV started on
this day, August 1 1981.
John C Dvorak: Were you there
that day? No.
Adam Curry: Well, it's so funny.
You know, the first VJ was
supposed to be Mark Goodman. But
even on the first day, and this
is so typical for MTV, they they
not built Hodson, now they
screwed up the tapes, and Alan
Hunter was the the first because
they pre recorded everything. So
typical for MTV to screw up the
tapes on their on their on their
first transmission. But there it
is,
John C Dvorak: it's a little bit
of history. Nobody knows. Yeah,
there
Adam Curry: you go. There you
go. Now let us thank our
executive and Associate
Executive producers, the way you
can support us with your
treasure is by sending us any
kind, any amount that represents
the value you get from the show,
we really appreciate it all.
From $1 to 10,000. It doesn't
matter whatever it value means
to you. And of course we can't,
we can't determine what that is
you only you can determine that.
We do like to thank our
executive and Associate
Executive Producers upfront just
like Hollywood does, you get a
real credit which you can use
anywhere. It is an official
production credit, you can even
put it on imdb.com If you don't
have one, you can open a new
account with that. $200 above
Associate Executive producer
credit and we read your note
$300 and above and executive
producer credit and we read your
note we kick it off with Mr.
Black, who was in the race back
the Netherlands. And he sends us
a 333 donation plus fees, which
is wow. So it's 350 58 Pay Pal
does 20 bucks.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's why
fear checks are better because
they are definitely better. 15
cents as opposed to 20 bucks. He
Adam Curry: says ITM John and
Adam, it MCU brother. This is a
333 donation for the
neurogenesis show since you both
putting great value effort and
entertainment into the show
thank you. Birthday call out for
my daughter, Eva, who turns 13
on August 2 And he says for
failing steered mopey You are
the light of my life together
with your little brother love
always and health karma for all
the need keep on keeping on Mr.
Black
Unknown: you've got karma
John C Dvorak: now we have Jean
amorphous in Bellingham
Massachusetts nuts 333 33. And
he sent not a note. You should
look this look at this. But a
memo. An official memo, a
Adam Curry: memo or we did send
a memo Yes I see.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's and
it's then it's pretty much
structured like a memo. Should
we I had this little aside when
I was waiting for the airplane.
Adam Curry: Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait. There's some
if you're going to talk about
your past. JC
Unknown: JC
Adam Curry: JCD storytime
everybody.
John C Dvorak: This is a weird
one. At least it is to anyone
with the right mind. I looking
back on I thought it was
fantastic. When you're working
for the government and the
administrative state or even
when you're not, you really try
to take as many seminars as you
can because there's somebody's
paying for him and you get to
take a day off free. It's free.
It's free to you and you get to
take the day off. If you want
you get paid for did you get
it's just a money it's a way to
go. So I took a seminar on money
memo writing.
Adam Curry: I've have heard this
story.
John C Dvorak: And they did, it
was a whole day of how to write
a memo properly. By the way,
this memo I'd say is 80%. close
to being proper. And I can write
my and I've written memos.
People are short on how to write
them. And there's a formula
that's just dynamite if you use
it, right. And I just thought it
was one of the most valuable
things I've ever learned. And I
would say this to anybody out
there, take as many of these
little courses and classes as
one day seminars and whatever
you can, for whatever it's
about, because you never know, I
thought the memo writing thing
was just gonna be like a joke.
And in fact, I find it very
useful. And I used it in fact,
when I was at Ziff Davis, I use
it to write memos to the bosses
that were just like, you know,
super professional looking man
was that had a lot of impact.
They have impact anyway. So we
have a memo here and I read well
there's
Adam Curry: there's a hold on
there's a cc two producers HR
legal and sales everyone's on
this memo. Yeah, it's pretty
interesting regarding the fall
season.
John C Dvorak: Yes, it says to
John and Adam Fromm and these
guys little initials there,
which isn't really something
that a lot of memoir writers do,
Gene amorphous producer and then
he says the comments at the
bottom does that they don't need
that word comments there but
okay. After consultation with
the appropriate producers, we
have green lighted your fall
season. I am sure you are as
excited about this news as we
are. Please provide episode
outlines and storyboards that
your earliest opportunity, copy
sales, legal and HR for their
review and approval. We hope
that this year the no agenda
show will be a leading contender
for the People's Choice podcast
award walk. Once that is done.
marketing needs to have a
meeting to present some
merchandising concepts to you.
I'll reach out shortly to
schedule Oh, and as you would
say there's some V four v
enclosed
Adam Curry: now he forgotten to
copy no agenda shop on this,
which is a mixer. And you must
know that all Podcast Awards
have an entrance fee requirement
which of course we refuse to do
because that's just a scam. All
award shows you have to pay to
be nominated. So no
John C Dvorak: 333 33 from gene
that's very funny gene. Thank
you.
Adam Curry: The Highland crags
are in Colorado Springs Colorado
$240
John C Dvorak: Way way we only
have two executive producers for

Our
Unknown: formula is this. We go
out with people in the mouth
John C Dvorak: I'd like to go
ahead. I'd like to start off
this section with an ask Adam.
Adam Curry: Oh, goodness, I was
unprepared for an ask Adam. Yes,
John C Dvorak: this is because
it's the Olympics is a big deal.
It
Adam Curry: is it is the
Olympics. Yes, it is the
Olympics. We don't have any
John C Dvorak: Olympic clips or
anything because we'd get sued.
But we do. We have an ask Adam
based on the Olympics.
Adam Curry: Okay, so which one
do I play here?
John C Dvorak: You say ask Adam
Olympics cue.
Unknown: Okay. Also, you've seen
the medals athletes have been
winning at the Olympics all
week. Well, trick question. What
do you think they're made of?
Adam Curry: Whoa, what do you
think they're made of? Well, I
know what they represent. They
they represent gold you would
think there was some gold in
that one? They represent silver
which you would hope there would
be some silver in there and
bronze but I'm gonna go with
tungsten
John C Dvorak: that's a good
one. Call back that it goes way
back. Yes. So let's go okay. Now
this is the ask Adam answer and
q2 at the end of this compound
as Goutam. At the end of this is
another question. Well,
Unknown: I want to say real
solid gold, silver and bronze.
But this question you're asking
is making me second guess
myself. Guys,
you should. According to
International Olympic Committee
regulations, the Olympic gold
medals must be made out of at
least 92.5% Silver, which comes
out to 523 grams and then they
are plated with six grams of
gold.
We will wait then what is the
silver metal native? Good
question. The silver metal is
525 grams of pure silver. So I
bet you're wondering about the
bronze metal? Yeah, it is an
alloy made of copper, tin and
zinc.
Well, now you have me wondering
how much each metal is worth?
Well, according to Oxford
Economics,
Adam Curry: but what a gyp
Unknown: what a jeep.
Adam Curry: I remember when I
was in the International School
of Amsterdam, and now this is
when I was nine, maybe eight or
nine. And they had some Olympic
medalists come in, and we were
all allowed to look at the gold
medal and they say you can't
touch it, because it's pure gold
and it could actually warp you
could bend it. That's what they
told me. Now, of course, that
was in 9974. What maybe in 74,
it was different.
John C Dvorak: Maybe I don't see
how it would work though.
Because you touched it. Well,
Adam Curry: I mean, they just
didn't want us with our grubby
John C Dvorak: Majan it up and
they had to clean so they didn't
want Alright, so
Adam Curry: what is the final
question? Are
John C Dvorak: they worth what
each one of them worth? What do
you think?
Adam Curry: How many grams of
silver was it?
John C Dvorak: 500 some?
Adam Curry: There, they're
probably each worth about I'd
say about $275.
John C Dvorak: Play the end Oh
is
Unknown: worth an estimated
$1,027. The silver medal is
about $535 and the bronze.
Sorry, it's about $4.60 Oh
man
answered the question go, wow,
Adam Curry: wow. Well, that was
news that we can use at the
watercooler. So, yes, it's handy
to know. Yeah, there's been a
lot of hearings in Congress
about the attempted
assassination of President
Trump. And it's really, it's
looking more and more like this
went beyond incompetence, beyond
incompetence. And as much as I
don't like saying it, Jesse
waters did a pretty good
backgrounder of everything that
took place. So I'm going to play
a couple of his clips. This
first one's a little longer,
it's a buck and a half and the
rest are very short. But I think
it kind of brings us up to speed
on some of the anomalies and
atrocities and outrageousness of
what took place here.
Unknown: A secret service
counter sniper is predicting
another assassination attempt
before November. In an email
obtained by Real Clear Politics,
a secret service agent with 20
years experience on the counter
sniper team is announcing he's
going to blow the whistle until
all of his supervisors are
fired. The counter sniper says
his mission is to prevent
another JFK style assassination.
And the only reason that hasn't
happened is because they've
gotten lucky. He says secret
service leadership is corrupt.
And states clearly quote, we all
should expect another
assassination attempt to happen
before November. We've exposed
our inability to protect our
leaders due to our leadership.
After this email went public, it
was wiped off the Secret Service
servers. There's a massive cover
up underway, and it spilled over
into Congress. After Cheadle
resigned in disgrace, her number
two got promoted and testified
today that the Secret Service
screwed up. But the local
police, it was really all their
fault. 30
seconds. If
it's communicated directly to a
counter sniper team, would that
be enough time to react prior to
the firing of those shots?
Senator, if we'd had that
information, they would have
been able to address it more
quickly it appears that that
information was stuck or siloed.
In that state and local channels
were explicit instructions
provided to cover the roof of
the AGR building and locals just
not follow it or were those
explicit instruction is not
provided. It's my understanding
what was communicated is that
the locals had a plan and that
they had been there before. We
are looking at this and they
should have been on that roof.
And the fact that they were in
the building is something that
I'm still trying to understand.
Adam Curry: So part of the
reason that they weren't on the
roof as the news has been very
fragmented, the things we're
hearing is because it was too
hot, and therefore it Oh, you
local SWAT guys don't go out
there. You don't need to do
that. Well, here's the local
SWAT commander,
Unknown: the accusation that
somehow we were told that to be
on the roofline, for instance,
to and that it was too hot.
That's ridiculous. You know, our
snipers are prepared to operate
in western Pennsylvania, from
anywhere from 10 degrees below
zero to 90 degrees, they were
prepared to be wherever they
were told by secret service that
day, then,
Adam Curry: probably the
funniest, most outrageous
testimony, the reason that the
Secret Service could not fly
their drone to check around and
see if anyone was I don't know,
walking around doing weird
suspicious stuff. Well, that was
a very, very clear and obvious
explanation. They couldn't fly
their drone. You had
Unknown: a drone system, but you
had bandwidth problems. The
bandwidth apparently was
adequate for the shooters drone,
but not for the Secret Service.
Can you explain that?
I have no explanation for it. So
people fly drones all the time,
on the peripheries of our sites.
And we go out and we talk to
them and we ascertain what their
intentions are. On this day in
particular, because of the
connectivity challenge. As you
noted, there was a delay and he
flew his drone at 351
Approximately, so
Adam Curry: they had bad
internet. This is getting
funnier by the minute. And then
of course, the most damning part
is the person who was in fact
responsible. The site supervisor
has not been subpoenaed been
called or his name or her name
even know own to the public who
was the lead site agent who made
the decision to leave the AGR
building completely outside of
the security perimeter who was
the Senator,
Unknown: I cannot give you that
name. This person is
operational. They're still doing
investigations. They're still
doing protected visits and
relieved of duty. Senator, they
have not know. Why have they not
been relieved of duty, they are
still cooperating but not only
being interviewed by the FBI,
but also by our Office of
Professional Responsibility. I
Adam Curry: found it interesting
that they both use the vague
pronoun. Is this person trans?
Or is it more than one person is
the suit? Is there more than one
site supervisor supervisor now?
There'd be one site supervisor?
And they both say they I know
their name? Well, they can't I
mean, what is that?
John C Dvorak: Baby? It's
transperson. That would make
sense. Now,
Adam Curry: the there was a
thing was this was the FBI guy
who was saying, Well, you know,
he was he was a registered
Republican. And, you know, he
was he had posted all kinds of,
you know, anti semitic stuff. So
that makes total sense. They
wanted to kill Trump.
Unfortunately, they also
subpoenaed gab and Tor boss, the
guy who was a tour was the guy
who runs the gab site. He gave
them all the information, which
I think was seven or 900 pages
of posts. And these posts came
after this 2019 information that
showed this this shooter, this
Crux fellow, as, as a registered
Republican, Marsha Blackburn did
bring it up in the hearing.
Unknown: And then we understand
that the gab account, is pro
immigration pro locked down
leftist views. Is that accurate?
I haven't seen it directly. But
I believe from what I've been
told that is accurate with the
gab account. We're also though
that's been publicly revealed
through the CIO and other
things. We're still working to
certify and verify that that's
his account, also, but it does
have differing points of view,
it would appear.
Okay, and what age? And how
fresh. Is that gap account?
The cab account? Based on my
recollection, the comments in
there or the messaging is from
about 2021, I believe.
Okay. And the other preceded
that maybe he was age 14?
Yes, Senator, the the other
account that we talked about was
in the 2019 2020 timeframe.
Adam Curry: So this, I mean,
it's very odd, it reeks of a
total cover up. And I would say,
yeah, there's a cover up
underway, particularly from the
mainstream media, where it not
for this astounding interview
that ABC aired, and has been re
aired and hashed up and chopped
up and put on everywhere, where
they talk to the local, the
local guys who the Secret
Service is blaming for the mess
up. And and well, here's a piece
of it. I
Unknown: remember standing in
the parking lot and talking to
one of the guys. And so we just
became part of history. And not
a good way,
walking around
and just seemed out of place.
Greg nickels snapped these
photos of the shooter. If we had
a
Text group between the local
snipers that were on scene, I'd
sent those pictures out to that
group and advise them of what I
noticed. And what I'd seen. What
do you think is I assume that
there would be somebody coming
out to, you know, speak with
this individual or find out
what's going on?
So how do you know if Greg's
concerns about Crux are being
relayed properly? We
don't it's we have to assume
that when he put that
information out to command, that
command took that information
and did something with it.
John C Dvorak: And now somehow,
the Secret Service guys that
were protecting Trump claimed
they never even got word of
this, like they've never heard
about it at all.
Unknown: We were supposed to get
a face to face briefing with the
Secret Service snipers whenever
they arrived, and that never
happened. So I think that that
was probably a pivotal point
where I started thinking things
were wrong, because that never
happened. And we had no
communication with the Secret
Service.
You had no communication with
the Secret Service at all on
that Saturday? No,
not until after the shooting,
I believe. Yeah. Then by then,
it was too late.
Adam Curry: The only thing I can
come up with is we were supposed
to have a dead Trump and a lot
of conspiracy theories. Just put
as much nonsense get everything
make it looks like everyone
pointing at each other. This was
this is not playing out the way
it was intended. This is this is
baffling to me. Do you have any
thoughts?
John C Dvorak: Well, there was a
woman thicker Names last name is
crab trim not sure investigative
journalist who has been
following this and she was on
one of the radio shows. And she
says this guy this guy took over
from Cheadle is the really the
go to guy, he's the guy
responsible. He should have been
fired today along with her
quitting. We're
Adam Curry: just gonna call him
No, not today I'm
John C Dvorak: not talking about
the vague I'm talking about the
guy that was testifying Oh, with
the funny haircut. Oh, that guy.
That guy. That guy. He's the
second in command he took over.
He's the temporary chief now of
the Secret Service guys. And she
says he's the real responsible
guy. He's the one he's the go to
guys. Cheetah was just a
figurehead, the new appointee
and he's the guy who's really
running things. And he's the guy
should go.
Adam Curry: I mean, you see, I'm
sure you've seen the video where
you see the kid actually walking
while Trump is talking. You see
him getting into position just
before he shot? Yeah. I mean,
this. It's crazy. I
John C Dvorak: think I think
there may be something to the
idea that Trump should be dead.
Adam Curry: He should be. I
think the the real. Of course,
Joe was also supposed to be
dead. Stay tuned. And Trump
should not be alive that and
they had all this setup to make
it just as confusing as
possible, you know, the initial
like, wow, you know, he searched
for JFK, you know, make it like
a JFK assassination. Have people
trying to figure this out for
the next 50 years? And then, you
know, oh, we can't release the
files, you know, to also
John C Dvorak: throw in this
idea that Iran would he put him
on a hit list? Yes. Yes.
Something they don't necessarily
release. There's no way to
knowing this is bullcrap that
part, and then having the phony
baloney bank accounts that this
kid supposedly had and all over
the world somehow he's just a
kid. Give me a break.
Adam Curry: We may never know.
We may never know. Trump is
insinuating inside job. He has
been, you know?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he has been
insinuating he's been true
thing.
Adam Curry: I have a couple of
boots on the ground about
CrowdStrike. You know, I've been
I have not let this Microsoft as
your outage slipped by.
Remember, we still don't really
know. I mean, yeah, we know what
happened with CrowdStrike. But
the fact that it happened is so
outrageous. For a company that
does these things. For a living,
it just makes no sense. But it
came right after it looked like
all of the Microsoft Azure,
their whole cloud, Microsoft
365, all kinds of things were
happening. And we had and
John C Dvorak: don't forget that
this also coincides with a shot
at Trump. Yes. So right
Adam Curry: after it Well, a
couple days later, after his
speech at the at the RNC, which
I initially thought, well, you
know, it seems like that
happened right on time to change
the news cycle, which it did.
But I have a couple of boots on
the ground. First one, and these
are all dudes dude named Ben. In
this case, I'm a vice president
of delivery. And a large
Microsoft Partner think along
the lines of avant de RSM. We're
PWC. Price Waterhouse Cooper,
the week of the CrowdStrike
issue on that Thursday, the day
before the large CrowdStrike
issue outage, we had observed an
extremely large outage for all
of our clients in the central US
Azure region, dynamics 365 ce
fNo, Outlook team SharePoint,
accessible, etc. Were all
unaccessible. We contacted
Microsoft Support and Receive
little news or information as to
the root cause, which is weird
for a large partner. Even a week
later, the information they've
shared with us is a nothing
burger. Friday morning is when
we reserve the CrowdStrike
outage. The News reported that
CrowdStrike took down Azure but
on our end, it seems to be the
reverse. He says something
happened at Microsoft and they
appear to have requested
assistance from CrowdStrike. Not
sure what else transpired or the
nitty gritty but figured out
pass this along, given episode
1680s commentary. Then now, as
your and I've received several
emails about this, they also run
all of the military systems as
your Microsoft Azure is a big
cloud provider for the
government, in particular for
the military. I am currently
seeing many articles about the
new Microsoft 360 and Azure
outages. This is from one of our
producers in the army. I'm not
done listening to Sunday show
but I'm not sure if we talked
about this any further. In my
last email, I forgot to mention
my skepticism of the timing of
the cloud strike issues. Not
sure about other branches of the
army. But the army has very
recently started officially
using Microsoft 360 slash Azure.
Then all of a sudden they're
having a lot of problems and now
a network infrastructure issue,
just running if you and John
believed that that looks like
something that people are in
fact trying to breach military
Microsoft accounts, the timing
is just too close to be some
sort of coincidence and there's
Only one article that talks
about this and then the final
one ITM I had a quick boots on
the ground report about the
cyber incident, I work for a
mechanical repair and overhaul
company in the aviation
industry, we have to take out
the name of that. We have an
even mix of commercial and
military work earlier this week,
we were told not to turn on any
of our computers. The internet
was shut off at every site from
Texas to Indonesia, we had been
hacked by someone or a group of
someone's for something.
Obviously, since we do a lot of
military work, the fears we were
targeted for information on the
different aircraft, we servers,
but it could just also be a
ransomware attack on a machine
is not it so only have limited
information, all this. The only
effect this has had on me so far
is I can't access master cam
without the internet to verify
the license. We use Microsoft
Azure, I talked with my tea guy,
he said it's not a huge leap to
think it's connected to what
happened with them. But
everything they've been seeing
points this being a long thought
out attack separate from that
event. Nobody knows what they
were after. Or if they got it
not surprised that this has
happened. There have been a lot
of complaints from our IT guys
about poor network security. A
handful of sites are in the
middle of transitioning to a new
company after they recently were
sold. And the world the word is
triumph dropped their IT support
for those sites prematurely
before the new company that
purchased them could take over.
This smells bad. And it it's
also very possible that some
hack occurred on the Azure cloud
network. And CrowdStrike was
called in to take everything
down, just bring all the
computers down. We need
everything to shut down right
now, which it did. And it's a
good way to do it. It's like the
best kill switch you can
imagine. One that you can
relatively easily turn back on,
and guarantee that everybody
using Microsoft in a network
environment would have their
machines cut off. We may never
know. But I like our boots on
the ground reporting. And then
finally for you from our
constitutional lawyer, Rob about
the EULA. And the CrowdStrike
and CrowdStrike. There is a
class action lawsuit. And it's
boys Schiller. These are not
just some fly by night dudes.
And I said how this is but how
can they get past the EULA? How
can they sue CrowdStrike for
what happened? And he gave me a
two point answer, fraud vitiates
whatever that means, everything
it touches, including EULAs. So
if boy Schiller can make a
colorable claim that CrowdStrike
made false representation in
selling its product, the EULA
might fall by the wayside. What
kinds of representations Well,
it could be many things such as
false statements about their pre
release testing their safety
measures or the recovery
process, their security, etc.
Boy Schiller is scrubbing these
issues out as we speak. If
there's a crack in the EULA,
damn, boy Shiller will find it
and use it to maximum effect.
They wouldn't even have to take
it to trial settlement
settlement leverage is all they
need. So that's for you.
Unknown: Nice, yeah.
Adam Curry: I love our
producers. This is why we're the
best podcast in the universe.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, pretty
much.
Adam Curry: And of course, oh,
man.
John C Dvorak: Oh, you know, she
makes $30 million. Right
Adam Curry: on cue. Right on
cue. It's time to start the
pivot. We've got to get away
from this AI. We've got to keep
the Wall Street hype going. 60
minutes comes in. Thank you.
Scott Pelley whenever and when a
hype is created. You know this
douchebag Michio Kaku is going
to be right in the middle of it.
Unknown: Artificial Intelligence
is the magic of the moment. But
this is a story about what's
next, something
incomprehensible. This past
December, IBM announced in
advance in an entirely new kind
of computing, one that may solve
problems in minutes. That would
take today's supercomputers, the
billions. That's the difference
in quantum computing technology
being developed at IBM, Google
and others. It's named for
quantum physics, which describes
the forces of the subatomic
realm. And as we told you last
winter, the science is deep, and
we can't scratch the surface.
But we hope to explain just
enough so that you won't be
blindsided by a breakthrough
that could transform
civilization.
Adam Curry: I like the term the
magic of the moment. That's
right. You gotta believe in
magic to believe it's coming.
Yes. Bring in the crazy guy with
the crazy hair.
Unknown: The quantum computer
pushes the limits of knowledge.
Yeah, new science, new
engineering, new memes, all
leading to this processor that
computes with the atomic forces
that created the universe. Oh,
no.
Adam Curry: It's God, like, God
like to
Unknown: understand the change,
go back to 1947. And the
invention of a switch called a
transistor, the transistor, a
new name, computers have
processed information on
transistors ever since getting
faster, as more transistors were
squeezed onto a chip, billions
of them today, aliens, but it
takes that many because each
transistor holds information and
only two states it's either on
or it's off, like a coin, heads
or tails, not holding
John C Dvorak: information.
Adam Curry: How well I'm gonna
I'm gonna let you respond after
this 19 seconds is up sales,
Unknown: quantum abandons
transistors, and encodes
information on electrons that
behave in a way so that they are
heads and tails and everything
in between. You've gone from
handling one bit of information
at a time on a transistor to
exponentially more data.
Adam Curry: All right, John C.
Dvorak, technology experts tell
me about quantum computing. Is
it real? Is it coming? Is it
here? Is it the next big thing?
Do we need to invest in it
quick?
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm not
saying it's not a good
investment, if it if everyone
thinks it's a good investment,
because that's how stocks go up
and down. It's got nothing to do
with anything. There's no
evidence that these things work.
There's no evidence that this
technology is even doable. And
everything that's been going on
so far, is let's go with the
quantum computing thing. Google
made an announcement it must
have been 10 years ago, that
they had a quantum computer that
solve some problem they wouldn't
have been able to solve in
100,000 years. And then what
what happened after what,
where's this? What we're, how
come we haven't gone anywhere
since then? Because
Adam Curry: they don't have
enough qubits. They need more
qubits. We need investment for
more qubits.
John C Dvorak: I mean, it's like
what happened? You remember this
when Google said they saw some
problem using their quantum
computer? It was like something
that would have taken 100,000
years, but they did it like in
10 minutes, or whatever hour or
whatever it was. And then we
haven't heard anything. We
haven't heard Jack since then.
What What was that all about?
was, it was bullcrap is what it
was, there was no, there was
nothing solved. I see. I mean,
this whole quantum computer
thing is a pie in the sky.
That's never been shown to work.
And if it was shown if it ever
could work using quantum
physics, which JB actually did
have two things in it. Two
different things in two
different spots. At the same
time, it's really something no
one can fathom. Nobody could
program these things. This is
ridiculous. I do is a good
diversion.
Adam Curry: I have a 2016 clip
of Justin Trudeau about science.
Unknown: So you don't have to be
a geek like me to appreciate how
important this work is. Although
I have to tell you when we get
to the media questions later,
I'm really hoping people ask me
how quantum computing works.
Because
Adam Curry: remember, he opened
the quantum computer center in
Canada. How'd that work out?
Yeah, man, this is from
John C Dvorak: almost 10 years
ago.
Adam Curry: This is 2019 Glenn
Beck on quantum computing. And
right now that computer is
called this is with Jeff Brown,
it was actually
Unknown: partially built by IBM.
And it's one of the one of the
Department of Energy's National
Laboratories and it's capable of
something called 200 petaflops
per second, which is just
imagine football field sized.
Adam Curry: Okay, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, whatever. I'm
just telling you that my
prediction that they're going to
they're going to switch Wall
Street will switch from AI to
quantum computing because it's
falling apart
John C Dvorak: it's falling
apart he's got he's got still
got more legs.
Adam Curry: How much more legs
John C Dvorak: Well, got more
legs. I won't bore you with now
know how much more legs all I
know is has got more legs. Well
you want
Adam Curry: to hear the last
clip of Michio Kaku, Kaku.
Unknown: Yeah, might as well
enjoy him as
well. You can see that there's
fantastic amount of information
stored when you can look at all
possible angles, not just up or
down. physicist
Michio Kaku of the City
University of New York already
calls today's computers
classical. He uses a maze to
explain quantum difference.
Let's
look at a classical computer
calculating how a mouse now
navigate a maze. It is painful.
One by one, it has to map every
single left turn right turn left
turn right turn before it finds
that goal. Now a quantum
computer scans all possible
routes simultaneously. This is
amazing. How many turns are
there hundreds of possible
turns, right? Quantum computers
do it all at once.
Kakuzu book titled quantum
supremacy explains the stakes.
We're looking at a race race
between China between IBM here
it is Google, Microsoft,
Honeywell, all the big boys are
in any way to create a workable,
operationally efficient quantum
computer. Because the nation or
company that does this will rule
the world economy. This
Adam Curry: is what they said
about AI. And now it's about
quantum computing. And he's got
a book out so you know, it's
real. Apple has decided not to
use NVIDIA GPUs for its AI
models instead is using the
Google TP use. Which is
interesting. metas AI assistant,
which was widely widely
distributed, said Oh, no, no,
the Trump's assassination
attempt was fictional. Like
rocket that's right up there
with glue on your pizza. So I'll
say it, I'll let me be the one.
There's no evidence quantum
computing will ever work. Let me
be the one to say it.
John C Dvorak: And I can argue
it, you know, because I use
there's no evidence I use the
no, there's no evidence that
that, that that to hold that the
model even even even works at
all. I mean, it's it's this let
alone programmable. in enough
trouble. There was an era with
called parallel computing. And
they came all these
Adam Curry: decisions. Yes, I
remember parallel computing.
Yeah, they couldn't
John C Dvorak: program those
things that they couldn't do it.
It's just not programmable.
There's only so much you can you
have to program these things.
They don't do it on their own.
They can't do it. They don't
self program, even though
there's a belief that AI creates
programs. And you know, it can
do some code, but it doesn't.
It's nothing creative. Somebody
Adam Curry: has to die before
they give up this ai ai stuff.
Someone's got to die. It's got
to kill somebody. I mean, it's
all just such bunk. And the
energy. I mean, it's crazy how
the energy requirements are just
not being Oh, well, you need
more power. Doesn't matter. You
know, it's climate change. We
don't care. We don't care about
climate change when it comes to
that. No, no, not at all.
Speaking of climate change, we
got that horrible Park fire up
in California. Yeah, good one.
Unknown: Tonight, the nation's
largest wildfire, bracing and
boundless. Firefighters spread
thin over the park fire a threat
zone now sprawling across four
counties in less than a week
growing into California's sixth
largest wildfire ever. According
to CAL FIRE. The biggest in
state history are all from the
last six years, an era of
climate driven fire seasons that
scientists say start sooner and
last
long. Seems to be just a
continuous cycle of these and
it wears on our community to NBC
Adam Curry: News, just taking a
little opportunity there to turn
and clear case of arson into
arson. Thank
John C Dvorak: you for that.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: Now the guy that
blew up his car and drove it
into a ditch and started the
fire. But now as climate change
what these people are horrible.
Not as bad though as Hotep.
John C Dvorak: Tell your buddy,
Dr. Hodes, back in the news. Dr.
Hotep
Adam Curry: Hotez is back. Now
along with that you need to know
let me just grab the latest
here. That was it. There's all
kinds of approvals now for bird
flu vaccines, dang gay vaccines,
whatever it is, we're gonna have
a vaccine for you. Whatever we
can get some traction with.
We'll have a vaccine. It's all
mRNA based. And so they catch up
with Hotep Hotez. And he says,
it's really not going to matter.
Because there's too many people
who are anti vaccine and anti
science. We're gonna have to
call in the big guns literally,
you
Unknown: know, the health sector
doesn't know what to do. Because
this is not first and foremost a
political problem. And when I've
said to the Biden administration
is the health sector can't solve
this on its own, we're going to
have to bring in Homeland
Security, Commerce Department,
Justice Department to help us
understand how to do this. And
they've said the same with I met
with Dr. Tedros. Last month and
Geneva who the director general
just say, I don't know that the
World Health Organization can
solve this on our own. We need
the other United Nations
agencies. NATO, this is a
security problem, because it's
no longer a theoretical
construct are some arcane
academic exercise. 200,000
Americans died because of anti
vaccine aggression, anti science
aggression. And so this is now a
lethal force, that and now I
feel as a pediatric vaccine
scientist, it's just as just as
though it's important, just as
important for me to make new
vaccines to save lives. The
other side of saving lives is
countering this anti vaccine
aggression. So we
Adam Curry: need to make you
take the vaccines at gunpoint
and everybody who is anti
vaccine or anti science, anti
science aggression. They need to
be arrested or shot. Shot on
site. This guy is he's a danger.
John C Dvorak: He is a danger
that guy gambling he looks at
too if you look at him. He is a
creased creep. Yes. He's a
complete creep. He looks like a
creep. He's got to shake his
head his look a smile
everything. It's just gives you
the it makes you it's he's
great.
Adam Curry: These are all he's.
He's a creep. Hey, we can't end
the show without discussing the
chaos in the United Kingdom. He
didn't have one clip. Okay,
let's where's your clip? WaPo
WaPo Oh, no, it says UK All
right. Maybe not. UK stabbings?
Yeah.
John C Dvorak: UK stabbings.
Unknown: Turning now to unrest
in the UK protesters clashed
with police in northwest England
amid outrage over the killing of
three young girls. So far
roughly 50 law enforcement
officers were reportedly injured
and nearly 30 of them were sent
to the hospital. The event
traces back to a stabbing spree
on a Monday where a 17 year old
suspect killed three children
and injured 11 others at a
Taylor Swift themed dance class.
The stabbing suspect is
currently in custody, but police
have yet to release any details
about him. Officials that the
outrage stems from allegations
circulating that the suspect was
an illegal immigrant footage
show police vehicles damaged and
set alight as officers were
pelted with bricks and large
garbage containers. The violence
took place as the town was
holding a peaceful vigil
mourning the lives lost in the
tragic event. So we
Adam Curry: have a producer
named Sarah in the UK and she's
kept me very up to speed on this
one I've
John C Dvorak: gotten her notes
to she's good. Oh, she
Adam Curry: sends him to you as
well. I wonder if she sends the
same ones interesting. Very long
and full of links
John C Dvorak: No, I don't get
links from no no I maybe think
as someone else yeah, maybe
Adam Curry: Okay, so she says is
really disgusting how the media
and politicians are calling
people who are taking to the
streets and are outraged by what
has happened calling them far
right and racists and you know,
members of Nigel Farage his
party and of course this is
horrible for the new Kier
Starmer, the new prime minister
because it's all happening on
his watch. But she also and
there's nothing I can play clips
but she sent me clip after clip
of people fighting in the
streets with machetes Machete is
like the the weapon of choice in
the UK. And it's just
everywhere. They don't have
guns. They don't have guns, so
they got machetes. And and now
this this kid turns out he his
name is His name is because they
have his name. Axel Ruta Cabana,
he is a Rwandan of Rwandan
parents. He was born in the UK,
there's still no clear motive.
But he just went up and started
slashing kids and anybody he
could. And because he's only six
days away from his 18th
birthday, the magistrate has
wisely decided to disclose his
name. The media has only shown
photos of him when he was like
seven. Oh, look at this cute
little kid. Well, he's not
quite, very classic. Well,
Unknown: there are two different
court hearings today. Tom first
in the Youth Court, which is
then moved on to the Crown Court
for the second hearing where
Axel Ruda Barna was named under
reporting restrictions on his
identity were lifted because he
turns 18 In just six days, and
the judge here said that the
principle interest for lifting
that restriction was that he
would soon reach his majority
and therefore would have all
those restrictions lifted
regardless, he also pointed
towards much of the unrest that
we've seen taking place across
the country in recent days
writing last night, not only in
London but also in Hartlepool
and Manchester, the judge here
saying Mr. menorah and Mr.
Justice Buneary Casey saying
that at least part of that
writing had been inspired by in
a vacuum of the facts where
false information was being
spread. He said this was
nonsense, and it needed to be
challenged with the truth was
truth is now that the suspects
in this case alleged to have
committed three murders and 10
attempted murders and possession
of an offensive sharp blade is
Axel ruder cabana is 17 year old
again turning 18 In just six
days as the suspects in this
case, sitting in the courtroom
in the first lower courts in the
in the Magistris. He was silent
but his smiles towards the press
gallery behind the dock as he
entered the court and then
covered his face with his gray
jumper tracksuit. In the Crown
Court he entered without gazing
towards us, again covering his
face with a tracksuit rocking
gently side to side as he heard
deliberations between the
defending and prosecuting
barristers, and the judge about
these reporting restrictions and
upcoming dates.
Adam Curry: So it's a tinderbox
right now and people have taken
to 10 Downing Street got a
couple of good chance which I
thought were worth playing this
is the first one
this is the Crowd Chant
John C Dvorak: I can't I don't
understand what they said
Adam Curry: no more boats
John C Dvorak: no more boats is
what they said yeah, because
Adam Curry: the again the
immigrants are coming in on
boats no more boats no more
boats. And then this one
hopefully you can understand
we want our country back. Oh,
well. You voted for the wrong
party. If you want your country
back because they're all in on
immigration. So
John C Dvorak: well so as I've
been to immigration peaked with
it with the with the
conservatives. It was going
through the roof with them there
last year.
Adam Curry: I didn't say they
should vote vote conservative. I
said they voted the wrong party.
How about Nigel Farage
John C Dvorak: I guess you're
gonna have to go that way
because these two parties the
Conservatives and they and the
labor are just they're useless
they're not dental care
Adam Curry: it's a one on one a
mess What a mess as the knife
crime is just it's amazing. But
the Brits you know and these
guys are walking around they got
the the Union Jack flag draped
around their shoulders. It's
this is a tinderbox situation.
This is not going to end well.
And I don't I don't think they
know what to do. Other than take
a hard line people want a hard
line now they're sick of it.
They're sick of it. And it's not
necessarily that by the way,
what's this was always showing
the the 15 year old picture you
know, of the shooter. The Trump
assassin the this kid the all of
it, who was
John C Dvorak: always show some
some picture when the kid was
young and innocent look yes.
That's like It's like stay did
that with the hands up don't
shoot guy.
Adam Curry: Yeah, with Yeah,
who's a big fat huge Bruiser,
John C Dvorak: and they keep
showing a little picture when he
was in grammar school. Yeah,
yeah. Brown or whatever his name
was. Yeah.
Adam Curry: You gave me a link
for the show notes. It has not
come up I just want to remind
you electro hypersensitivity, do
you want to talk about that? Or
is that something that come
wait?
John C Dvorak: I'm not going to
be able to talk about it. We got
even sent it to you not you
mentioned it Hey, do we need to
do anything? I'll just say
quickly that is a good link in
the show notes people should
check out which has to do with
with RF basically too much of it
in the in the house. You're
getting tinnitus, you're getting
all these issues from the that's
why I tell people to use the
home plug home plug networking
system that goes through the
wires? Yes, yes, it works. It's
actually faster. There's no
degradation over over the length
of the distance between the the
source with with Wi Fi you get
slower and slower as you get
further away. There's not that
you don't have that problem with
the home wire.
Adam Curry: I recommend a
tinfoil hat personally, that
will protect
John C Dvorak: you probably is
not a bad idea nowadays.
Adam Curry: Here's the
interesting little update
Unknown: the Pentagon just
announced the three men Khalid
Sheikh Mohammed will lead in
Attash and Mustafa Al hawsawi
will plead guilty to some
charges as early as next week as
part of plea agreements in the
military Commission's process.
They've been held at Gitmo for
years with the US accusing the
al Qaeda terrorists suspects of
plotting the 911 attacks that
killed nearly 3000 people. Now,
the details of the plea
agreements are still unknown,
but they are expected to plead
guilty to lesser charges that
could spare them the death
penalty. Sentencing may not come
for months, but they will likely
appear at a hearing in
Guantanamo in the coming days.
Adam Curry: Not quite sure what
to make of that news wire that's
coming out now. All of a sudden,
I don't understand the timing of
it.
John C Dvorak: Some reason
something is happening. Yeah. So
I'm getting ready to shut down
go on to get Mo. Oh.
Adam Curry: And then of course,
Israel striking Bay route.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we should
at least talk about this. All
right. You got a clip I'm sure I
also have some clips from the
Venezuelan election.
Adam Curry: I can push those
Yeah, we push that off because
we're running we're running it
on.
John C Dvorak: But Israel thing
is too, too much stuff going on.
I have an analysis from a Hamas
expert, okay. That I think might
be worth listening to. This is a
let's play the background or
first this is the clip Israel
kills two leaders. Israel kills
two leaders, we
Unknown: turn to the Middle East
where two developments in the
past 24 hours have pushed
tensions to a critical point.
First, Israel said it killed a
leader of the terrorist group
Hezbollah in Beirut and then
another airstrike allegedly
carried out by Israel took out
political leader and head of
negotiations for a possible
ceasefire deal in Gaza. Given
honey as public facing role and
leadership. We wanted to know
what his death means for Hamas.
So we called Khalid al kindI.
He's a senior fellow at the
Middle East Institute, where he
directs the program on Palestine
and Israeli Palestinian Affairs.
Welcome back to all things
considered.
Thanks for having me back.
Well, Israel has now allegedly
killed three out of the four top
leaders of Hamas, but Hamas says
its leaders don't matter that it
has lost plenty of leaders to
Israeli attacks before. How do
you see the loss of money
affecting the group's operations
and the war in Gaza overall?
Well, in terms of Hamas is
operations, it's not going to
change that much in the
immediate term, and that there
will be a replacement. And it's
not the first time that Hamas
leader has been assassinated by
Israel and Hamas will survive,
but also probably gain a lot of
domestic political support among
Palestinians. Because Hania was
seen as someone who's not a
radical, not even a military
person.
I want to follow up on that. You
think that there will be
actually more support for Hamas
following honey as death?
Because he was moderate. But, I
mean, doesn't that depend on who
succeeds Hania? If he was more
moderate, in your view, might
that actually harden Hamas is
resolved and perhaps leave
leadership in the hands of
hardliners? Yeah,
and I think the two things can
both be true. I mean, you can
gain support, because people
will sympathize with Hamas that
has taken so many losses. And
also, it is likely to radicalize
the movement from within. Okay,
John C Dvorak: all right. That's
based I had to cut that off
because the guy was boring.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: But the it's quite
boring.
John C Dvorak: But the thing
that's interesting is discuss a
little bit about these last two
clips, which are the analysis
clips from NTD which has good at
they have they bring on good an
analyst better than the what you
heard was NPR was the fact that
this guy, this Hamas guy was in
a hardened facility owned by the
you know, run by the Iranian or
the Iranian, Iranian guard,
they've whatever that guard
operations
Adam Curry: called the
Revolutionary Guard.
John C Dvorak: And it was one of
those missiles that we've heard
about we see about we know about
we don't know the details how
they work. I think they're
working with a beacon
personally. But it's like shot
from 100 miles away up from a
new I think with an F 63
Adam Curry: laser precision
surgical miles away,
John C Dvorak: goes into Tehran
goes downtown goes up, the main
drag goes up and into the window
of that guy's room and blows him
up.
Unknown: Nice.
John C Dvorak: That's like, wow,
it is. So let's listen to this
guy. Earlier
Unknown: we spoke with Cameron
consul Renia, Vice President of
the National Union for democracy
in Iran about the killing of the
Hamas leader in Tehran. Now
Hamas is saying that its
political leader was killed by
an Israeli strike in Tehran,
Iran's capital. Now the Israeli
government has yet to take
credit for this but if it was
Israel, what is the message
here?
I think the message to the
Islamic Republic is loudly and
clearly that wherever you are,
wherever your proxies are, even
if they're in the heart of your
capital, we can get you and we
will get you. And I think that
message was received very
clearly in Tehran. Ismail Hania,
the leader of Hamas was killed
in Tehran only hours after a
private meeting, in his secret
compound, the Supreme Leader
secret compound that is, and he
was there attending the
inauguration of the regime's new
president. So I think that
there's no doubt the message to
Tehran was, we will find you and
we will eliminate you. And we
can also do to other of your
officials as well, I think it
was not only the killing of his
mind hanya that was important.
It was the message that it was
sending to ally harmony to mass
with position Qian and enter the
leaders of the Islamic Republic,
that Israel has clearly
penetrated very high levels of
the regime in Tehran.
And in your view, is this
deterrence or escalation?
I think it's clearly deterrence.
I think it was such a blow to
the Islamic Republic. Obviously,
Ismail hanya is not Iranian. But
he is the leader of one of these
Republic's most important
proxies, had he been killed
anywhere, it would have been a
blow to the regime. The fact
that he was killed in Tehran, on
such an important day for the
regime, just hours after seeing
the supreme leader makes it all
that much more significant. And
I think that as a result of
this, it was such a significant
blow that the regime will be
forced to back down to it. To
some extent, I don't think that
this will lead to a larger
escalation, or a full out war.
Adam Curry: So my question is,
if this guy is like an important
Hamas guy, how do you get to
Iran? Did he hop into a jet at
Gaza International?
John C Dvorak: This is the guy
who is who is living in Qatar.
Oh,
Adam Curry: this is that guy?
Oh, he's one of the Okay. Well,
this had to be one of our
missiles. We didn't give Israel
that stuff.
John C Dvorak: I would have to
assume is one of our missiles
who dreams like this will blink
and
Adam Curry: Blink is like, Oh,
we don't know. It's like, we
don't know about it. No, we
don't know. We don't know.
John C Dvorak: Nothing, you
know, but it's like something I
you know, you have to wonder how
the technology works. I mean,
and this was supposedly the
tools
Adam Curry: easy. You got an
iPhone, we can kill you. I
John C Dvorak: think that might
be part of it. Yeah, they could
hone in on an iPhone signal.
They could hone in on some a bug
that's planted in the room. And
I want agents, Apple watch an
Apple Watch. One
Adam Curry: of those rings, one
of those smart rings.
John C Dvorak: Could it be? I
mean, but two things finds it
and then it just goes flying
around. And then they find it
goes into the window, which is
what kills me the money goes in
there and blows up the guy's
room and leaves everything else
there. It's
Adam Curry: like, what is the
iPhone of death?
John C Dvorak: I think that, you
know, it's I didn't think about
the iPhone, but it's it's
possible. They have the guy's
phone number. Maybe they're
calling him at the time. Yeah,
yeah, the pickup. Oh, goodness.
Well, here's part two of this.
And
Unknown: given the tensions we
are seeing in the region,
whether that's in Gaza, Lebanon,
even Turkey potentially weighing
in, what steps do you see as
needed to make sure this doesn't
become a regional war. There
will be more regional chaos,
there will be more murdered
innocent civilians on all sides.
Israeli Arab, Iranian Western,
as long as the regime in Iran is
still in power. The Islamic
Republic has spent 45 years
doing what it calls exporting
the revolution. It seeks to
undermine legitimate national
governments in Arab countries
around the world. We see right
now the Islamic Republic trying
to undermine the Saudi Arabian
government, the Jordanian
government, the Emirati
government, so many others have
effectively taken control of the
Iraqi government over the past
several years. So as long as
this regime is in power, there
is no real path to peace. There
is no better deal to be had with
the regime in Iran. The only
solution really lies in
supporting the people of Iran
who every day are facing the
brunt of this evil and criminal
regime men are fighting back
against it. If they're
successful in getting rid of
ally harmony, the puppet master
of all this crime and terrorism,
then there's a real chance and
if not probability, or guarantee
of peace. Until that happens. I
don't see a path to peace in the
Middle East.
Adam Curry: Yeah. All right. My
analysis real quick. This is the
military industrial complex
doing their own thing. They
don't think Blinken knew about
it at all. They're doing it.
They're making sure that we get
something started here make it
look real scary. Trump may even
have something to do with it.
This This has Trump written all
over by the way I could just see
him coming out going. We had a
smart bomb. It was so smart. It
was so it was it was so smart.
It's like I got high IQ but this
bomb died is is very
John C Dvorak: smart. You sound
like Gorka. Yeah.
Adam Curry: same, you know, the
Trump also leaked out his peace
plan for Ukraine, where he says
if I'm reelected, I'm going to
cut off Ukraine aid to Ukraine,
but also I'm going to impose
sanctions on Russia that you've
never seen before. This is I
think this is playing out in the
background. The Peacemaker is
coming. This is his big October
surprise, he's going to figure
out a way to claim it. He just
had Bibi Netanyahu there, none
of this is coincidence. That's
just my thinking.
John C Dvorak: Well, if anything
would be better than President
Harris.
Unknown: I'm gonna show my move
by Jonah to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that
and pull Yeah, that'd be fun.
