nation media assassination
episode 1561
Unknown: This is no agenda.
Adam Curry: sandbagging
sabotaging and broadcasting live
from the heart of the Texas Hill
Country. Number 16. In the
morning, everybody, I'm Adam
curry
John C Dvorak: and from Northern
Silicon Valley where I found out
that the Serbians are giants.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
Adam Curry: Really, the Serbians
are giants. Tell them do tell
John C Dvorak: it well. They hit
the NBA Finals.
Adam Curry: Oh, that dude, that
one dude wants his name tour.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's what
I thought. I said that one big
guys a big treat seven foot
tall. 285 pound dude, center
dude, dude, for the Denver team,
and he's really unbelievably
talented. And so I didn't think
much about it until I was
watching one of those trains
cruising on the trains, shows.
Adam Curry: Wait a minute, what
is cruising on the train show?
John C Dvorak: There's all these
different train shows, you know,
travels on trains, and this
bunch of them. They're on. A lot
of them on broadcast TV. A lot
of them are on the
Adam Curry: way. This is f f TV
fomer TV.
Unknown: Oh my god.
John C Dvorak: Come on. As a
matter of fact, it is. And so
I'm watching this one where
they're taking a train right
under old train from basically
through Serbia down to
Montenegro. And while they were
in Serbia, the guy brings up the
fact you know the Serbs are
notorious for being big. Here's
one of them. And there's a seven
foot guy. Wow. And they go on
about oh yes. We're very big
people. And so then then to
continue the story to make it
even more interesting to me.
weird way to tie this show
together. It's alright I have
these clips.
Adam Curry: Oh, well now this is
exciting. You've got
John C Dvorak: a nice what's
going on in Serbia? Yeah, there
is a lot going on in Serbia.
There's a lot going on in in
within there. There may be some
reason within these three clips
that is the high no kinetic
purpose of the tall giant people
in Serbia
Adam Curry: know the whole
conflict is Bosnia is pissed off
that Serbia has got all the
Giants.
John C Dvorak: Well, they that's
never mentioned. But there is
this there is a couple of funny
things in these clips this
Serbia anti government protests.
Unknown: 10s of 1000s of people
have joined another anti
government protest in Serbia's
capital Belgrade. The
demonstrations have become a
weekly event since 18 people
were killed in two mass
shootings last month. Protesters
are blaming government policies
for promoting violence in the
media, and are demanding the
resignation of ministers or
inverse which has more from
Belgrade.
It's been one month since the
mass shooting in Belgrade's
Ladislav Ribnica Elementary
School. This is the fifth
protest called Serbia against
violence. On May the third the
13 year old boys shot dead 10
People nine pupils of his school
and a security guard. Only one
day after a 20 year old man shot
eight people in two villages
south of Belgrade. In both
attacks, many were injured. The
protest walk in Belgrade started
after speeches were given on the
stage in front of National
Assembly. Protesters repeated
they want Minister of Interior
Affairs and the chief of
intelligence agency to resign
they also won the regulatory
body for electronic media to cut
the concession rights for happy
TV and think television
terrestrial broadcast because
they say it's their program that
promotes violence and hate
speech.
Adam Curry: Wow, this is really
interesting and I didn't clip it
I'm glad you got it because I
only the only clip I got was
about they want violence off
television but now you have the
actual the actual TV channels in
this clip but it's worth
mentioning this Serbia Bosnia
had this whole thing has been
heating up we've been tracking
it it started with the with the
with the mass shootings. I mean,
Serbia and Bosnia. They're on
deck now with this stuff. This
is this is interesting.
John C Dvorak: What what's
interesting about these clips is
it doesn't bring into issue with
Bosnia.
Adam Curry: No, even though
there's well it's 700. Troops.
John C Dvorak: There's two
things going on. One are these
protests in Serbia, mostly in
Belgrade massive protests. about
violence. Yeah. Which again,
brings us to this stories about
violence it I guess resolving
problems with violence was
always a major way of doing
things in Serbia. Hence the tall
big guys.
Adam Curry: You know, you should
be the spoke Sman four fomer TV
for more big guy hi hi um I want
my foamer TV Oh my F TV.
John C Dvorak: So the other
action which is into in Bosnia
which is and has to do with the
elections is not this this is
different. And this is kind of
interesting because this is a
big reported on it all we it's
because
Adam Curry: I guess zero knows
nothing nothing in fact we'd
like some of their happy TV
stuff to be broadcast over here
we don't have any of this
violence on television people
giving
Unknown: speeches on today stage
where actors high school
students, comedians and
satirical TV hosts. They said
that those unpowered the
government should assume its
responsibility for the mass
shootings. They emphasize all
Serbian children should walk
freely to schools and return to
their home safely, as well as
those in Kosovo with dignity. We
should fight for freedom of our
society. That is what we owe to
the people who lost their lives
in tragic shooting. They said my
invention which Al Jazeera
Belgrade,
Serbia as government has
declared a one month amnesty for
people to hand in guns 40,000
firearms have been given up. But
as Bernard Smith now reports
from Belgrade, protesters say
the government needs to do much
more to tackle a culture of
violence
conservatives version of Big
Brother, a daily diet of fights
and punch UPS helps make this
one of the country's top rated
TV shows. In parliament when
debate doesn't work, fists can
fly.
There is a huge problem in
Serbia with violence being
accepted as methods to resolve
disputes. That's the problem
is a lawyer for a group that
helps women affected by
violence. 41% of Serbs think
domestic abuse is the top issue,
women face here, the highest
rate in Europe.
And this is something that even
not even children in
kindergarten are being taught to
resolve disputes in other
alternative measures. And so the
TV and what is happening in our
National Assembly, and the
messages know, whoever uses
violence, he will be the one who
who is beginning to dispute and
will be you know, the winner.
And that's the wrong message
being sent all over again.
Adam Curry: Wow. So not only are
they giants, but they're giant
dicks. This is crazy.
John C Dvorak: And in fact that
the number one TV show, which
was that big brother equivalent
is, for all practical purposes.
Just a version of bumfights, you
know, where you get people just
to punch each other. It's just a
violent show. You don't have
quite bummed out, you know, the
bum fight phenomenon that we had
for a while.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but but
they're not calling for guns to
be taken away, are they? Yeah,
they are. Ha ha.
John C Dvorak: So I don't even
know this seems to be well, in
part three, resolve a couple of
these issues.
Unknown: In early May eight
children and a guard was shot
dead at a school in Belgrade.
The suspect is 13 years old.
Prosecutors allege the boy's
father took him to target
practice and didn't properly
secure weapons. The next day, a
20 year old man killed eight
people in a village outside the
capitol. Since then, 1000s of
people have protested weekly in
Belgrade, accusing the
government of encouraging a
culture of violence in society.
The problem of violence in
Serbia is bigger than then
weapons, they're in possession
of citizens. That's why the
citizens asked for other
regulations may be tightening
gun control legislation and
fundamental and reforms in
education and other spheres the
service President Alexander
Bucha, which has pledged to
practically disarm his country,
more than 40,000 weapons and 2
million rounds of ammunition
have so far been handed in
during a government amnesty. But
there are more than 750,000
registered weapons here and
officials estimate perhaps a
similar number unlicensed, it
could take years for the state
to disarm its citizens and
they'd have to be willing
partners in the effort.
Adam Curry: Okay, this is a
sophisticated cya. This is very
good, because they're also
calling for the removal of
violent television stations. But
it's really about disarming the
country that this isn't an
American Democrat Party tactic.
John C Dvorak: Well, they got
they got their attention.
Adam Curry: And this is super
interesting to me because
American political tactics and
tat takedowns are now being
performed all over Europe. So
not just get rid of their guns
so Serbia will be completely
vulnerable to whatever is next
thing is there. 700 NATO troops
there. For whatever reason, but
something we learned about in
the last show. Remember, your
buddy there from Ireland? She
was moaning about Russian
Russian interference. Claire.
Right, Claire Daly? Well, now
nearly now we know what that was
about. And man, it's just, it's
just an American script to speak
to our international affairs
commentator, Douglas Herbert.
Hello
Unknown: to Doug. Several French
media seeing some excerpts of
this report is not published
yet. But what have we learned so
far? What we've
learned is that the report
essentially exposes based on the
interviews with dozens of people
that you mentioned, exposes ties
and collusion. Really, let's use
the word collusion between
France as far right national
rally party, the Russia, the
Russia, Vladimir Putin, and
we're only looking at now All
right, this was a parliamentary
commission set up ironically set
up at the request of Marine
LePen spa right national rally
party, because it wanted to lay
to rest once and for all, the
never ending accusations that
her party and she specifically
that has been way too chummy.
John C Dvorak: This is that
nebbish on France 24
Adam Curry: nebbish is a good
word for him. Yeah. Douchebag
dog, the bald guy, any collusion
guy.
Unknown: I love those with
Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin's
line has worked.
Adam Curry: What's up with that
pronunciation? Vladimir Putin.
Have you been in France too
long, Doug.
Unknown: Vladimir Putin has told
Vladimir Putin's line has
represented essentially
essentially the interests of
Vladimir Putin and it's conveyed
his message very effectively
here in France the Kremlin
propaganda message. So that's
what it was really meant to do.
I boomerang it really backfired.
fiasco in her own face,
Adam Curry: a fiasco in her own
face. Wow.
Unknown: It's a fiasco.
John C Dvorak: fiasco off your
face, baby.
Adam Curry: I already right now
to take that fiasco off your
face. It's disgusting. can't
look at it. This is This is
crazy. I love saying that.
That's what all the millennials
are now saying the new 100% Is
this is crazy. I haven't heard
it. I just launched it. He has
no real Marine LePen far right
colluding with Russia. She's
propagandizing for Vladimir
Putin
Unknown: is an idol apparently
claiming that the report is
politically motivated. So avoid
that
emerge. The half of this report
is a reflection of the
rapporteur sectarian, dishonest
and totally politicized. reality
of this report is that there is
nothing. This report is exactly
the same in terms of its
conclusions as the four hours of
hearings I was able to do under
oath. In other words, the people
who have accused us have no
basis in fact, they didn't know.
Adam Curry: This is their
version of the Mueller report.
No Russian collusion isn't
dodgy. Does anyone else not see
this? This is pathetic.
John C Dvorak: is the best word
for it. I say Come on, people
come up with something more
creative.
Adam Curry: Meanwhile, we need
to discuss this tumble The White
Unknown: House says President
Biden is fine. After he took a
fall on stage at the US Air
Force Academy graduation
ceremony in Colorado. Biden had
delivered the commencement
address and shook hands with
graduates when he appeared to
have tripped on a black sandbag
on the stage. Biden got back up
and jokes he got sandbag.
Adam Curry: Now, I went and
Larry
John C Dvorak: legs because
Adam Curry: it's actually here's
an ABC report where he yells at
our
Unknown: White House says
President Biden is fine after he
tripped over a sandbag at the US
Air Force Academy in Colorado.
The President returned to
Washington greeted by a horde of
reporters horn wanting to know
what happened. And his
explanation was quite simple.
The President was walking a bit
stiffly but his doctors say
that's because he has a spinal
arthritis.
Adam Curry: So I looked up I
look for a picture.
John C Dvorak: Spinal I have a
new nude. unnoticed spinal
arthritis
Adam Curry: doesn't sound good
actually. Spinal arthritis know
nothing about it. But I do know
something about staging. This
sandbag was placed as sabotage.
There's no reason I'm looking at
the stage. There's a black
sandbag you know one of those
sandbags that you put on on his
black so you can see it up on a
black stage and it's an it's a
black it's one of those that you
put over your nightstand so it
doesn't fall over. Yeah, so
yeah, I know what they're for.
So we'll call them sandbags. But
you know, just so people don't
who aren't in the bay. They are
sandbags. People who like you
and me who know people aren't in
the biz. So I cost in the bids,
the bids in the bid. And it was
nice not holding any trades.
I've been reading the trades
myself. It's not holding
anything down. It's just there.
It's not on top of anything.
It's not not even holding down.
Like like a, you know, a skirt
for a table. It's just the black
sandbag on the black stage. This
was sabotage.
John C Dvorak: You know, I can
accept that. And there's
something that that I stood in
my mind when he came around to
walk off and it hit the sandbag.
There was a soldier a marine
that was saluting and he was
saluting toward the audience.
And he like, I guess He saluted
toward Biden flipped around and
then he went off toward the
audience walked toward the
camera, and I looked at him. And
it was like, when Biden went
down, he didn't look back. It
was right within, you know, it
would he would have you would
have looked back or something
and he had a funny smirk on his
face.
Adam Curry: That's the guy. And
John C Dvorak: you know, it's
cadets or he knew about it.
Adam Curry: You know, this is
graduation. So what funnier than
when you're graduating from a
military academy? My Hey, man, I
got an idea as to the will be
legends. I think sandbag gate is
appropriate. I think there
should be a parliamentary
inquiries. Bill. I put the
picture of the sandbag did go
John C Dvorak: down fun in an
awkward way. And then I liked
the way the news media strips
any guy right up. He didn't he
did not get right ahead for guys
helping him up and he could
barely get up. He just left him
there. I guarantee couldn't get
up.
Adam Curry: Did you also notice
the soles of his shoes? No, I
did not. So it's this weird
horseshoe like extra soul that's
on the bottom of it. And lift.
It's well, it's a lift, but it's
a U shape. And someone pointed
out an interesting interesting
thing, which I thought was
probably not what's going on but
I liked it. You know, human
Michael Jackson that video where
he where he kind of leaned over
and defies gravity.
John C Dvorak: Now he leans
forward all the way he was one
of his
Adam Curry: that was Yeah, six
signature moves. Yeah. So that
was achieved by having shoes
with basically a horse shoe type
heel. And in the in the in the
stage itself was a little knob
and he slide his his shoes onto
those knobs and then you can
just lean forward because the
knobs were bolted to the floor
and he could just back up and be
right off of that. I'm wondering
if maybe the President doesn't
have knobs in the stage
everywhere so that you know when
he's feeling
John C Dvorak: on his ass just
standing there so he gets feels
a little woozy.
Adam Curry: He can just slip
into the knobs. It was just
John C Dvorak: oh, now you're
talking? Well, I'm reminded of
not this let the newsletter I
just sent out but the one before
that and the other ones that are
floating around these memes
showing Biden's you know his
face kind of cut in half with
two different Biden's Oh, yeah.
Well, that's
Adam Curry: the mask. Everyone
knows it's a mask. Where were
you been? Everyone knows that?
John C Dvorak: No, there's no I
saw them as it was peeling off
on one of them. They showed like
where it was peeling off on him
and it was too smooth for his
normal face. Yeah. And then he
had the permanent wrinkles in
his forehead. There's a lot of
crazy mind might be dead.
Adam Curry: Oh, there's a
beginning of the show. When we
got by Mike, I'm with you on
that. And we know this match
technology is outstanding. And
it's way beyond what the CIA
lady showed five years ago. It's
John C Dvorak: that but she
mentioned that the match they
were talking about and using in
the TV show. Mission Impossible.
Which was I believe the late
60s. Yep. She says those masks
those CIA masks were in play
back then. Yeah. So you can't
even imagine what technology
they have now.
Adam Curry: I actually can't
imagine it and if you look at
all of these different videos
where you see a crease or you
see Biden from behind scratching
the back of his neck and then
you almost see the rubber kind
of read freeform. We're being
we're being psyops man. It's a
scam.
John C Dvorak: It's a scam Damn.
Guy is no Joe Biden
Adam Curry: knows who he is.
Now, finally, I'm very happy to
report that after two years out
here in Fredericksburg, Texas.
Tina and I are finally we've
made ours we've made it in. We
are now in Hill Country high
society.
John C Dvorak: In either two
years, I taught two times flies
Adam Curry: Yeah, tight times
flies. times Time flies. Time
flies. Kill country high
society. That's right.
John C Dvorak: These are the so
you got invited to a party? Yeah

of the German Nazi foreign
founders of the town.
Adam Curry: Hey, man, back off
pump the brakes on that, bro.
There's no Nazis here. No not
No, no,
John C Dvorak: no. Deutsch
landers I keep
Adam Curry: looking for some
Germans to speak German with no
one speaks German there's no no
people here won't admit to it. I
keep throwing stuff in. And I
couldn't talk and no
John C Dvorak: one looks around.
Don't be tricked by him.
Adam Curry: Jeremy, now stop
that. No, this is this is the
new bow this these are this hill
country cabal baby this is. This
is the elites, the Hill Country
high society. It's the people
who actually make the country
run the salt of the earth. I
give an example. Like one guy
who I talked to bones 11 I hops,
you know, so and they do quite
well. But you know, like,
John C Dvorak: these are the
people who will do the earth
Yes. 11 I hops. That's what I
said. Yeah, but kind of your
definition of salt of the earth.
Adam Curry: They make it they
make it run the salt of the
this? What do you mean? Get
John C Dvorak: salt of the earth
to me is a guy who's digging a
ditch you know, for minimum
wage. No,
Adam Curry: no, no. No, he's
John C Dvorak: the nicest guy
had everyone in me. That's the
salt of the earth. That's Oh,
it's a mo you're wrong.
Adam Curry: No, no, they're not
moguls. They're just regular old
people. Running 11 restaurants.
John C Dvorak: But Adam yes
happens to the best of people.
You get sucked in. They bring
you in your next thing you know,
you're an elite, local elite.
You're oblivious to the reality
of the of the of the working
poor?
Adam Curry: Well, these are the
people who employ the working
poor because they come from
being poor.
John C Dvorak: And this whole
sure this
Adam Curry: is do you want to
report or do you want to mock my
friends? mugging anybody. This
is the women at this party. All
carry concealed guns. Some of
them dipped in the Louis Vuitton
design. They've got elephant
skin boots. This is the party
they don't drive the F 152. No,
it's time to break out the
bends. And they definitely don't
drink Anheuser Busch beer
anymore. Bill you understand
what kind of party this is? Is a
good party. This is good old
boys and girls and I loved it. I
loved it. And I learned a lot.
These by the way. These are
Trump voters not DeSantis and
you know who was there as a part
of the hill country high
society. Are we Santas? No, no.
Our friend Suzanne Santos
remember Suzanne Santos
John C Dvorak: I don't remember
Yes, Santos she she's an
Adam Curry: actress and singer
songwriter. She was on Joe Rogan
talking about how she must you
love No no agenda you should
know her all she
John C Dvorak: Oh, was added I
keep forgetting her name. I know
who it is.
Adam Curry: Suzanne Santos. And
she was there by the way five
months pregnant. Looking good
for her. Yes. Looking very Santo
not Santos I'm sorry. There we
go. Now you get to know why is
it Santos is because DeSantis
descent DeSantis got me all
confused Santo. Sorry, the
keeper keeps me on my toes. She
there. Now she's texting me.
She's like my phone is going
like not channeled while you're
doing the show. Tina
backchannels me all the time.
She's my wife. She's the keeper
she she she's in charge. She's
running the whole operation.
This
John C Dvorak: story. I don't
know why you're stalling.
Adam Curry: Now she's married to
Nick his lotto. Do you know Nick
You should know Nick his a lotta
because we're in the business.
You read the trades? Haha. See,
you haven't been keeping up with
the trades.
John C Dvorak: Well, I haven't
been keeping up but I haven't
been chemo with Nick.
Adam Curry: Nick. Nick is very
famous for not just being the
writer but the creator and the
showrunner of the hit HBO
series. True Detective. You know
this show right to Detective?
John C Dvorak: Yes. With his
first season it was dynamite.
Was he the show runner then?
Yes. Yeah, he created what
happened? No,
Adam Curry: there's two more
seasons came.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, but the
second season was boring by
comparison. Okay,
Adam Curry: okay. My friends
here. All right. These are my
friends. Chill out. Okay, I'm
just saying brakes pump Dvorak.
That's the show with the finale
broke the internet. At least it
broke the HBO app. Matthew
McConaughey, Woody Harrelson
starred in anyway, so I got to
read he's a writer and so I had
an opportunity to talk to him
about the writer strike.
John C Dvorak: Ah die there is a
point is named dropping that you
feel obliged. Which is fun,
which I accept. I accept because
now what happened
Adam Curry: you better you know,
after every show, you're always
like, hey, got any dinner?
Coming up with anybody. Oh,
that's too bad do anything.
That's all you're always
John C Dvorak: throwing it at me
cool
Adam Curry: dinners anything
happening? Uh huh. All right.
So, first of all, it is. So the
writer strike. He's a writer. So
obviously, his projects were on
hold. However, it appears there
is a force majeure clause in the
Writers Guild of America
contracts. This is what we are
not aware of. And it's
confirmed. I have an article
here from the New York Times, if
the strike drags on into July,
studios can exit pricey deals
with writers under force majeure
clauses of contracts, which
means it will actually help the
streamers and screw the
complaining writers. And he will
go back to work because you can,
you cannot, the guilds can't
can't stop writers from going
back to work where they will
have to go back on the terms of
the
John C Dvorak: like a union
busting it's going on here.
Totally,
Adam Curry: totally. But it was
built into it. He was built and
John C Dvorak: they got suckered
somewhere along the line. Of
course
Adam Curry: they did. Of course,
they got sourced they
John C Dvorak: did hell, let's
let's get this back up a couple
of sentences that of course,
they did their dumb writers.
Adam Curry: Well, turns out 97%
of the voting members of the
WGA, you know, maybe wrote a
treatment for someone, you know,
not really, you know, they're
not successful writers. Yeah.
Well, that's
John C Dvorak: most writers.
Yes. Correct.
Adam Curry: Except for my
friend, Nick. Nick guy, that
guy's a winner. He's a winner.
And some more news is married
John C Dvorak: to a famous
pregnant actress
Adam Curry: who Suzanne Santo
dropped the s for extra savings.
And here's the good news. If
that what if it wasn't good news
already for people who want to
write and then people who just
want to get back to making
stuff. The studios are bringing
in writers to fix the woke
scripts. Even Marvel is bringing
in writers to fix all the woke
scripts that are not working,
not making money. They're afraid
to do it now. I think we're
seeing the end in sight,
especially in marbles.
John C Dvorak: What an optimist.
This was what happens when you
become an elite
Adam Curry: is a really lovely
people. I'm just calling him the
Hill Country high society. Okay,
so now, but you can call them
whatever you want. Now, as I
said, these people are Trump
people. And I was, you know, I
talk to a lot of different
people. And I think I have
figured out what's going on with
DeSantis. And it's also Elon is
involved. Twitter's involve
Murdoch is involved. And bear
with me, because I've tried to
kind of write this down. Let's
see if we can figure out what's
going on. And it really centers
around Elon and Twitter right
now. So we've been asking
ourselves why Where's Tucker? He
was going to be on Twitter.
Wasn't I mean? Why announced
that Why say very soon? And then
why not be on Twitter?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you can't
do that. It's just not good
market. It's
Adam Curry: a mistake. Or is it
because Tucker's figured out
what's going on? And I think
it's the latter. So Twitter and
now wait for it. So Twitter,
obviously, you know, we see Elon
hiring this Yucca Reno
character, he needs to get some
revenue going because he has a
big nut. He's got contracts
until 2025 for AWS and Google
for the infrastructure. Twitter
doesn't own their own gear.
That's about $500 million a
year. Can you imagine what
suckers those guys were that's a
lot of it's a lot of damage. The
machines is everything. And but
at least I had it locked in but
it's locked in. You can't you
can't change anything. So we
have to stick with those
contracts. He's got interest
payments. So you know, I think
by his own admission, they're
losing about $100 million a
month. So he can't really, you
know, just be ponying up
himself. He can't keep going
back to people he can't he can't
take it from his business. He
has to do something
John C Dvorak: he has to do
something right. He has to make
it breakeven at least so we know
Adam Curry: that Elon is entire
res on data which is French for
the reason he exists is
government money. So Tesla
massive government subsidies
subsidies for his for its cut
for its customers, subsidies for
everything he did subsidies for
EVs, SpaceX, his other big
business, NASA contracts, all
kinds of all government, all
government money. Now Twitter,
which as we know he will turn
into x.com It's already know on
his X x.com. He says that's
going to be the biggest
financial company in the world,
the most valuable Teenies
government to do this, but he's
placed his bets on the next
government. And the next
government is going to be if
it's up to Rupert Murdoch, who
Elon was paddling around with in
get the World Cup, we all saw
it. Remember how weird that was?
He's sitting there with Murdoch
in the crowd.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, neither one
of them seemed to be interested
in silica.
Adam Curry: No, this is where
they were talking about what
they're going to do. So Ilan is
setting up hit and who knows
what it'll be, you know, but
he'll get the easy easy licenses
for banking or maybe the central
bank digital currency or
whatever, I don't know. But so
he's keeping up this appearance
of being the freeze peach guy,
the anti woke guy to give
credence to Ron DeSantis. And
Murdoch enter Murdoch here. He
wants to control the White
House. This is just like
succession This is Logan. Roy
even looks old, decrepit like
him. So he and his money guys,
the hedge funds, Wall Street
buddies, whatever they are, we
know that they're that they
their big money behind DeSantis.
So I think I think that Murdoch
is so desperate or desperate. So
hell bent on controlling the
White House and making sure it's
DeSantis. He sacrifices Tucker,
he sets up the whole interview
with with Ilan and you know, we
saw it happen you even were for
a moment there's like Elon is
gonna hire I'm gonna pay him
millions of dollars. They he was
on his show. No, that was all a
setup. And I'm sure that
John C Dvorak: Tucker was way,
way, way back at what did you
say? I
Adam Curry: did you want me to
go find the clip? Because I can
find it for you use? What
John C Dvorak: was that when I
don't care about when I may have
to but I want you to reiterate
again. I didn't. I don't
remember going crazy about he's
going to do some show for a lot
of money.
Adam Curry: Yes. You said he's
going to Twitter. Elon is going
to pay him a lot of money. On
Twitter. I said no, he's not
going to and you said yeah, he
was on his show. I could look it
up. But just believe me, doesn't
matter. Because you since come
around as well as what we do. So
that's why there's continue.
So So Murdock brings in Elon
into the scheme. He said, hey,
you know, maybe you can can take
Tucker, then you can control
him. Elon does all the favors
gets, gets to sent you know,
launches the DeSantis campaign,
which of course is horrible.
Elon goes all anti woke in case
we haven't noticed. Now, of
course, if you look at Twitter,
anything that's about Trump has
all these so called Community
notes all over it. You know how
this works. Now with Twitter,
you get community notes, like,
oh, the community disagrees with
this. And that is automatically
gets you less reach, you know, a
little bit of shadow banning.
But for me, it was really this
this little bit DeSantis is
Chief because she wasn't his
press secretary. Before she
became like in charge of do the
influencers. Chris Watts had
Christina push off. PSH Aw. This
is a piece of work. You know
what she was doing before she
came to work for DeSantis know
what she was working for
Vladimir Zelensky. In Ukraine,
this used to ring a bell
recruiting influencers in 2021
for his election, which we know
is clearly a scam. These guys
are the actor. She has a fun.
John C Dvorak: They have I know
where you're going with this.
They're gonna have to do a lot
better job. DeSantis is not
impressing anybody.
Adam Curry: No, I know. But you
think you will agree with me
that if you have Fox News run by
Democrats, if you have Twitter,
if you have New York Post, if
you have the Wall Street
Journal, you're going to
convince Republicans to vote for
DeSantis you're going to do a
pretty good job. You're gonna
get quite far. Let's put it that
way. If you can contain Trump,
which seems to be the problem.
Now listen, to listen to this
Cushaw woman 2008 She this is
her Wikipedia. She developed an
interest in Georgia. Georgia,
the country. She researched
Georgia was impressed by the
incompetence of then President
Mikhail Saakashvili The Nut Job
who was eating his tie. So she
moved to Tbilisi, and she worked
there. Uh huh. Then she then
then she worked for you Yulia
Tymoshenko former prime minister
of Ukraine. Then she went to
Washington DC to work for Stan
together a philanthropic
organization founded by Charles
Koch. I mean, come on. I think
she had to register as a foreign
agent. Yes, she did a fairer
foreign Agents Registration Act
in order to continue working. In
the US,
John C Dvorak: obviously a
player, yes. But who is she
really working for? Can we
figure that out by her travels?
Adam Curry: Well, I would say
right now she's working for
Murdoch and the money, guys, of
course, it's I mean, what was
Ukraine about money GM
John C Dvorak: intelligence
agency behind this?
Adam Curry: Well, that is always
in play? And I would say which
John C Dvorak: would? That's the
question. Which one? It's always
the CIA. That's not always the
CIA.
Adam Curry: Which one? They're
the ones in charge of
everything. When I see Axios
reporting that oh, here's a
scoop. Yeah, I'll bring this
story up for you. The scoop? The
scoop? Is that YouTube?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, there's a
good story. I know
Adam Curry: that YouTube says,
oh, you know, in this next
election will allow videos about
election, election fraud and
disagreement over the results of
the election, which means
they're setting it up for Biden
to lose. That I like this
theory. Now, there are a couple
holes, maybe but not a lot.
John C Dvorak: Well, the problem
you have with the theory is that
Trump is still Yeah, they're
gonna have to do something Yes.
From well, they tried that was
the whole thing. Remember how
quiet dissident getting nowhere
enlisting, actually arrest him?
Adam Curry: Well, remember how
quiet they were when DeSantis
was how quiet DeSantis was when,
when you know, trumping the
dollar, we're gonna sue them in
court, and in New York, he's
gonna go to jail, that'll be the
end of him, and just doesn't
happen. I fear for him now.
They've gotten few options left,
and Trump is out there. And he's
got he's got their number. He
knows what's going on. He's
figured this out. We're a little
slow. But this is the I think, I
think this is fantastic. And at
least we have a lens to look at
stuff through.
John C Dvorak: So where's Tucker
end up? I know, it's an optional
lens.
Adam Curry: Well, what are the
lens do you have?
John C Dvorak: I don't have a
lens at all. I mean, what is the
what happens to try to Tucker?
Adam Curry: He has to go
somewhere. But I don't think
it'd be Twitter. Rumble. Rumble,
Rumble then. Yeah, that's the
telegram. He's going on
telegram. That's what I keep
hearing. Tucker's got a video on
telegram
John C Dvorak: like eight but I
don't even you know, I hate to
say this. But I've never gotten
a telegram account and I've
never used it.
Adam Curry: I really don't like
telegram I have an account
because a lot of Bitcoin people
are on it. And they swear by
avoid zero swears by telegram.
John C Dvorak: So why what
what's the swear by?
Adam Curry: I don't know that.
It's
John C Dvorak: Oh, this is the
great the greatest what what
does it do?
Adam Curry: It's, you know you
it's the safest of all places to
talk, apparently. Because
there's no there's zero D
platforming, which I don't think
is true. You can have your own
channel. It's
John C Dvorak: free. It's total
freeze. Speech. Yeah, it's all
free
Adam Curry: speech all the time.
But and
John C Dvorak: what does it
forums? Is it like us net? What
does it look like? Okay,
Adam Curry: so it looks so it's
an app, and it looks kind of
like a text message app,
John C Dvorak: like Snapchat?
Adam Curry: No, like a text
message app, you know, so you
could have Gregg, an SMS phone?
Yes, yes. Except you have group
chats in these group chats. can
have 1000s 10s of hundreds of
1000s of people in there. And
they're owned by someone. So you
know, the owner determined who
can talk or, you know, they
control you can have
John C Dvorak: a group chat with
Tucker. Yeah. And you can stream
video. Yes, you could. Yes. Yes.
And what is the maximum size of
one of these groups, as you have
to remember Tucker had when he
was on Fox had an audience of, I
don't know, up to 3 million
people. Can you do that on
telegram?
Adam Curry: I would. I wouldn't
see why not. Do you'd have to
limit it'll be too many people
to be give them all talk access.
But yeah, I think you could have
all those members. Sure. Sure.
And so we saw just the other day
The Daily wire you know they cut
a deal with Twitter and I was
kind of right about what kind of
the wire Daily Caller daily wire
this is what's his face fast
talker? Hero Shapiro's plus
Yeah. So they cut a deal no
we're gonna put all our podcasts
on Twitter which they had to pay
for not It's not like twitter
saying here's all this money no
Twitter has no money so they
were going to own an upload all
up which is videos in their case
all of our podcasts go on
Twitter. And then Matt Walsh
comes with oh, I'm gonna put my
what is a woman documentary and
I put that with big quotes. I
actually have a clip about this.
Let's play this and I can
continue the report. Where's it
here?
John C Dvorak: So caught off
guard here and
Adam Curry: pay attention stib
stay Oh, here. quitter aihole
know what is this? Where's Yeah,
John C Dvorak: Twitter aihole
quits.
Unknown: Twitter's head of trust
and safety has resigned from the
company. Ella Irwin took over
the department in November after
a previous head you'll Roth
resigned. She oversaw content
moderation, or when did not
comment on her resignation.
However, Axios reports the
decision followed controversy
over a video titled What is a
woman Twitter staff determined
it violates rules and didn't
allow it. The film focuses on
gender and transgender issues.
Musk called the decision a
mistake by many people at
Twitter and said it's definitely
allowed. He later tweeted
whether or not you agree with
someone's using preferred
pronouns not doing so is at most
rude and certainly breaks no
laws. The entrepreneur added
that he personally uses people's
preferred pronouns simply for
good manners. However, he says
he objects to rude behavior
cancellation or threats of
violence for not using someone's
preferred pronouns for the same
reason.
Adam Curry: Exactly. So this is
now lets you see exactly what's
going on within Twitter. You
have the trust and safety team
whatever is left to them
John C Dvorak: I liked the way
Axios played a role Oh yeah.
Adam Curry: Oh yeah. Those guys
a trust and safety team that we
got to keep our eye on them to
who owns Axios do they sell that
to someone Bloomberg another big
money outfit?
John C Dvorak: Who owned Illa
ran jobs owns it?
Adam Curry: She owns X us? Yeah,
I
John C Dvorak: think so. She was
Adam Curry: owner really? I
thought that that was already
done.
Unknown: I don't think she's
sold it
Adam Curry: looks like it was
sold to Cox Are you sure she's
John C Dvorak: I don't know.
I'll look at I'll look into it
as you continue your
Adam Curry: well such so the
point is he now you see the
friction that is happening
within Twitter. Where the so the
way I see it, the plan is we're
going to use DeSantis as the
anti woke guy and we're going to
get rid of woke and that's
actually going to make America
better. And everyone's all in
Disney's in as we just heard
like businesses in businesses
like this is dumb. This is not a
smart thing. Meanwhile, the same
guys who started this woke stuff
made money shorting all these
stocks. And now as we all know,
we're gonna get as you even
said, you know, we're gonna fire
the CEOs and be all new blood
coming in. The new bomb. Oh,
good ol boys, Anheuser Busch.
I'm going to fix this company.
You watch that'll happen bring
bringing woody bringing the Bush
the fourth at the same will
happen with target that guy's
completely dispensable that CEO.
John C Dvorak: They're going to
that guy. He's been bounced
around. He's happy. That's what
my theory was. I mentioned it on
horror was his show. You
Adam Curry: mentioned it on this
show before you even mentioned
on horror. Yes, I probably did.
And by the way idea
John C Dvorak: is to sync the
stock fire that guy stock goes
up. It's everyone's got a
signal. It's not that hard to
figure out. By the
Adam Curry: way. It's It's not
horrible. It's a show. It's DH
unplugged to Vortech. Horowitz
you even have preference over
his name. It's the other show
you do. Okay. So everyone's made
a new. Okay, Kara. Everyone's
making money on the way down and
we'll make money on the way up.
We're going to bring America
back. And they're going to
control it like they always want
to who? Who finance Obama who
financed? You know, Obama, this
term of Obama? It's the same
people. Yeah. So this is a
genius move. And meanwhile, of
course, the Republicans in
general, like hair hair. This is
great. Go Ronnie. Ron is gonna
save us and Ronnie not gonna
save anything. We're going to be
still stuck in the same
financial prison. We're always
stuck in. Now, it will probably
still be at war. You know, the
military industrial complex will
still do fine. We're just going
to stop the work and that'll be
the end of the war. And then,
you know, that'll be minimized
and you won't hear about it that
much, man. It's crazy. There you
go. It's crazy. When he did it
again. I know I got it, I can't
help myself. I might as well get
it all up. When you when you
hear what Fox News is doing. I
mean, they are, they're
completely going against all
things conservative. By the way,
this DeSantis I agree with the
policies Florida has done by the
way, that's the Florida
Legislature is not just Governor
de San DeSantis. But he doesn't
even know how to pronounce his
own name, the guy is so phony
Unknown: or dress antas. And
according to reporting from
Axios in the early days of his
campaign, DeSantis, and I'm
sticking to it has gone back and
forth between pronouncing his
name DeSantis and dust Santas.
During his first week as a
candidate. He pronounced his
name as DeSantis in his campaign
announcement video and again
during a radio interview. Let's
watch.
I'm Ron DeSantis. And I'm
running for president to lead
our great American combat.
Where can people find you to
donate volunteer find out more
about you
go to Ron desantis.com.
But then he goes on Fox News for
an interview and all of a
sudden, he back pedals.
Anybody that's so inclined to
help us. I would love to have
your support at Ron
desantis.com. I'd love for all
your folks out there invest with
us at Ron desantis.com. We'd
love to have your support. If
anyone wants to help out. Just
go to Ron desantis.com. We wish
you all the best desantis.com.
Mark.
Adam Curry: That was the Young
Turks. So the so
John C Dvorak: I really, really
busted that controversy open.
Adam Curry: Last The Young
Turks. You're not going to hear
this on Fox because you know,
they just have to roll with it.
Just it's a different topic.
John C Dvorak: But I just want
you to just interrupt you Sure.
As you can. She there was
Atlantic media and her money
that helped bank roll the early
days of Axios. Yes. And I guess
she's still an investor. But
you're right. It was Cox
enterprises to get from the get
go and Jim Vandehei. Hi in Mike
Allen is Roy Schwartz really the
founders and she wasn't
considered a founder. So I was
wrong. And who
Adam Curry: owns Cox?
John C Dvorak: Cox Cox is a is a
really traditional old privately
held global conglomerate
headquartered in Atlanta.
proximately 55,000 employees. 21
billion. It's an old founded in
1898. It's a big publishing
company. Yeah. been around
forever.
Adam Curry: Well, what side of
the do you think they are? They
play in politics, I can hardly
imagine they wouldn't.
John C Dvorak: Well, since NBC
Universal was one of the big
investors in this Optus, this
Axios. Operation. They're very
It looks very conservative to
me.
Adam Curry: There you go. So
that's why I I'm sorry. You mean
liberal? You meant to say
liberal,
John C Dvorak: I meant to say
liberal. They look liberal to
me. Based on the way I'm seeing
come out.
Adam Curry: Now, I've said for
years, Fox News is run by
Democrats.
John C Dvorak: I've I've said
the same thing. It's not about
Adam Curry: who said what? We
want you on point. Okay. John
has said for years. Fox News is
run by Democrats.
John C Dvorak: And well, I
haven't said as long as you
have.
Adam Curry: Here's a prime
example. This is a climate
change topic. But just just so
you can understand what's going
on over there
Unknown: and on Swartz Nagar is
taking on a new role. The action
store and former California
governor is now on a crusade to
tackle climate change. But
first, he said there needs to be
some rebranding.
As long as they can talking
about global climate change,
they're not gonna go anywhere.
Because no one gives away about
that. So my thing is, let's go
and rephrase this and
communicate differently about it
and ruin tell people, you're
talking about pollution.
Pollution creates climate
change, and pollution kills.
Molly, how refreshing to have
someone with just a common sense
approach? He's not Oh, yeah.
Yeah. You know,
the rebranding issue of climate
change has been deeply
politicized now for two decades,
and maybe a little bit of
rebranding could help.
Adam Curry: Listen to these
people. How can they be on board
with climate change this and
particularly, pollution is
climate change now, pollution
cares of when Yeah, so they're
totally following a political
agenda. Then it's not the one
people used to think they
follow, which they didn't follow
either. So I think this is the
big game. I'm going to look at
it this way. And the problem is
Trump they haven't been able to
put him in jail is his Trump's
no good. He's, he's not good in
this in this scenario. He's not
John C Dvorak: because he
doesn't play this game. No.
Which, right from Nick Get go.
He said he wasn't going to do
it,
Adam Curry: which of course
makes him funny and makes him
Trump really good. But not in
not in the grant. This is like
you have violated they hid the
rules. What was what was the
name of that?
John C Dvorak: network? Network
network? Yeah. Yeah. With who
was the actor, they brought him
into the front office and read
him the riot act about the great
rules of the world. Yes. Yes.
Ned Beatty, Ned Beatty?
Adam Curry: There you go. You
violated the rules. Yeah, that's
exactly what's going on here.
Because these are the people who
run the world, or at least are
American part of it. And they're
gonna do and they don't care.
And they will sacrifice anything
and everything to do with the
only thing that I mean, now I'm
actually going to rescind my
Michelle Obama for 2024. I'm
taking that back now. That
though, you can't do that, I
have to because
John C Dvorak: it would be
insane. And definitely look
through your new lens.
Adam Curry: Yes, it does. Yeah,
I'm allowed to change my lens.
Of course, it doesn't.
John C Dvorak: You are so
adamant. This is annoying.
Adam Curry: Okay, it would be
such a Hail Mary. It would have
to be an Obama ego trip to do
that. Not not Michelle
John C Dvorak: Barassi. The post
there was a post I think was
somebody said it to me and there
is actually was sent a private
message to me this one of our
producers, with a couple of
pictures of Michelle with the
you know, the catalyst package.
Yes, yes. I'm saying the reason
that we're trying to normalize
transgenderism is so Michelle
can run for president as Big
Mike get no,
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. No, no,
this, I'm telling you this, the
backlash is on the backlash is
on. And I'd like to make it very
clear. There was nothing wrong
with pride month. Every even
though it's kind of weird that
you know, mom's get one day.
Just saying.
John C Dvorak: But I want to
mention that I put out a
newsletter. That I don't know if
you've noticed this, but it used
to be gay pride month.
Adam Curry: Yes, of course. Of
course. And I noticed that
John C Dvorak: Tom clip that has
brought some new facts to light.
All right. Well, I have some
clips that will go with yours.
Yeah, we'll go with hearing off
of the topic like crazy talk,
talk to talk. very effeminate,
male teacher, probably non
binary, talking about what
they're going to do because you
know, the Pride Month doesn't
coincide with the school year,
which because kids get out of
school right now.
Unknown: It's almost Pride
Month. Unfortunately, our high
school year ends just before
June begins. What's the gender
and sexuality Alliance sponsor
to do our club members wanted a
day to feel prideful near the
end of the year. So we came up
with the day of love, the focus
of the day of love is simple to
broadcast a message of support
and positivity about our
school's LGBTQ population in a
fun way. And maybe we can start
a few productive conversations
along the way from year to year
depending on the size of our
membership. We've done a variety
of activities throughout the day
of love. But at its most basic,
we sell pride flags and crafts,
have productive conversations
and celebrate today let's talk
about selling flags and crafts.
Small pride flags are easy to
order online, and you can sell
them for like $1. But the profit
isn't the point. The point is to
give the people in your building
an opportunity to display their
support for the community in a
highly visible way. Besides the
progressive pride flag, I let
our members decide what kind of
pride flags that they wanted to
order on our limited budget. So
this year, we have classic
progressive pride, Pan trans bi,
and the updated lesbian flag. I
like to send out a Google form
for my colleagues who can't make
it down to the cafeteria where
the day of love is happening.
That way our flags can make it
all over the school when
possible. I also like to sell
crafts that our members make,
and this year, oh my god, we
have little pride frogs that
have oh my gosh, this is
amazing. I'm going to buy them
all I'm not going to be able to
wait and we have the flag sales
in a central location in our
cafeteria so that people come
in, and then that's where Part
Two can happen. The
conversations.
Adam Curry: What is detail what
is the updated lesbian flag?
John C Dvorak: I have not seen
the updated lesbian flight. I
know I have seen it but I can't
remember what's special about
it's not that interesting. What
was interesting in that whole
presentation was the classic
progressive pride right pride
flag. He did not have a pride
flag. There was no gay flag in
his collection.
Adam Curry: What was the
progressive pride flag,
John C Dvorak: the progressive
pride flag hammer, one that has
that arrow going in that showing
the trans pushing the prides The
gays out
Adam Curry: Well, exactly and
John C Dvorak: that that
progressive pride flag should be
a warning shot to the to gay
people and lesbians and gay men
that Sis, sis normal sis
homosexuals only way to put it
we're using this language
because this is a warning shot
it's like Look we're moving in
on you and your whole flag is
gonna get wiped out that the gay
flag is is now no good. It's got
to be the progressive gay flag
which is the one that has all
these other that has that arrow
looking thing going in?
Adam Curry: Well, so that's so
we're seeing what's happening
first of all, for
John C Dvorak: and that way to
begin my comment. You have to
remember that it used to be gay
pride month. Yes. And get now is
just Pride Month is soon it'll
be Trans Pride.
Adam Curry: That's correct and
and trans. Pride came right on
the heels of Black Lives Matter.
And Black Lives Matter got
tossed aside, like, Okay,
thanks, black people, good for
you. In America, certainly in
the 70s I was around. We were
happy with our gays. We don't
care, do whatever you want.
You're great on roller skates
we'd love that are gay boys and
roller skates that great
lesbians you're cool. Not a
problem. Not a problem. But the
pushing in it during the during
the show during the lifetime of
the show. We had more gay
marriage and same sex couples
allowed in the United States
than most countries in Europe.
Not a problem. We're good as a
button, you know, the pushing
and the pushing on the kids is
what did it and now everyone's
figured it out. And that's part
of the you know, the target
where all of this stuff and
Americans are starting to say
no. And all of this comes from
the same political push the
progressive note the term
progressive pride flag. So now
we're seeing gays against
groomers. Thank you boys. We're
seeing LGP not the tea. LGB not
the tea is now a Twitter
hashtag. It's a group of
lesbians gays and bisexuals. It
should just be LG but okay. LGB,
not the tea. And that's because
they pushed and pushed and
pushed. And then got pharma into
it and just start doing the
stuff with children. And that's
where everyone thinks to the
children. And once America start
to figure out, hold on a second,
we're not going to let this
happen. And now the backlash is
on.
Unknown: As pride flags rise
across the country. So does the
heated debate around LGBTQ plus
initiatives. pride events at a
Los Angeles Elementary School
Friday sparked tense protests.
We want our kids to just be
innocent and come to school and
not have to deal with sexuality.

Disney's posturing has alienated
a lot of people now,
but the controversy isn't
stopping celebrations. As 1000s
flocked to Orlando this weekend
for the annual gay days event.
Adam Curry: See how even CBS
winds up with gay days event not
with a pride event. But besides
that, and I want to make it very
clear, no one has a problem with
transgender adults. No one has a
problem with probably don't even
have a problem with transgender
teenagers if you're 1819 going
into 20s, okay. But the problem
is the actual attacks through
social media through pharma,
pharma, and through related
medical industry, the
psychiatrists, etc. And this has
been going on for a long time
with the drugging of our
children, nothing new for this
show. So when people say they
want to erase trans people, no,
that's not true. It's just not
true. But you want to erase
children and you want to mess
with children without telling
their parents. This is a problem
in America. NBC?
John C Dvorak: Well, the usages
are, you know, even beyond that,
this this concept don't want to
erase trans people. It's the
it's the constant harping by the
media, that this is anti trans
lesbian legislation and book
banning. Yeah, burning? Well,
they don't make it clear none.
Nobody makes it clear that these
are not, this is not book
banning. It's either is removing
pornography from the Children's
Library. How is that book
banning?
Adam Curry: Because that's what
the media just does. And by the
way, if you're on Twitter, and
you hate if you're on any
anywhere on the internet, and
you hit a link, there's no news.
Everything is paywalled. All
that's left is headlines. I even
got a paywall from The Guardian
today. That never used to
happen. So everything is
paywalled. All that's left is
screenshots of of clickbait
headlines, which says they're
racing trans people, we have
trans producers. We don't care.
We love. We love everybody who
produces here, but it's very
clear what's going on and you're
right and the media has psyops

gone out for most not all that

This year the landscape has
shifted.
You're gonna get rainbow vomit
on everything across corporate
America,
some corporations are stepping
into a fierce fight over
transgender issues. It plays out
in state
houses. When you bow your heads
in prayer. You see the blood on
your hands
and on cable news,
the same people who encourage
minors to have life altering
hormones and surgery on their
genitalia and even begin
transitioning without parental

does this very angry debate cast
a shadow over some of the
progress that has been made?
I think everyone is aware that
issues that seem to be settled
just a few years ago are up for
grabs. Again,
pride organisers across the
country tell NBC News digital
that their once eager sponsors
are now more hesitant, growing
fearful a backlash will target
their bottom line,
Adam Curry: right? So in
America, the business of America
still business. So this is
what's happening. But they've
even got lists on social. I'm on
a list now. I got a tweet. And
we've only talked about trans
Maoism. I would say in general,
but here's the tweet. And this
is how I know that I'm a list.
Hey Adam, it's Texas man. Andy
with your New World Order
Illuminati transhumanism update

on the anti trans rhetoric.
That's not someone who's
listening to the show. What?
Yeah. Hey, Adam is Texas Mandy,
this is a tweet with your New
World Order Illuminati

ha, no agenda show hashtag no
agenda show. Seriously, Adam,
lighten up on the anti trans
rhetoric,
John C Dvorak: but a mixed
message.
Adam Curry: It's because of just
I'm just gonna list and yes, the
John C Dvorak: fake it's a fake
message. And they just put the
hashtag whatever. Yeah, yeah, I
can associate with you.
Adam Curry: Exactly. And in that
I'm sure that message will go
out to other people. So I think
this is part of, it's sad. It's
really sad because we've, you
know, we've gone through quite a
horrible period, certainly in
the United States. It's not just
here, it's everywhere. As usual,
America is always the
trendsetter. And now that's
going to be turned back and the
business people in America have
decided, Okay, time to whipsaw
this thing around, we put in
Rodney D. We're good to go. And
I might mention we went from gay
pride to pride. Please remember,
great pride comes before a great
fall. And when you're just
positioning this pride, that's
almost one of the sins.
John C Dvorak: Here's one of the
Seven Deadly Sins Correct.
Adam Curry: great pride comes
before great fall. Here's NBC
with the Chuck Todd, who will
have to talk about later with
the director of special projects
for the National Center for
Transgender Equality. Josie
Cavaleiro
Unknown: what is happening in
these executive conversations? I
know you've been doing some
reporting, you've had some of
these conversations. What are
you hearing? I mean, look, we
know the one thing about
corporate executives, it's I
think can just be wasted. I
mean, this I'm sorry.
John C Dvorak: What are you
hearing here? Look?
Adam Curry: It's a new combo. We
haven't we're
John C Dvorak: dropping this
word here look, and we've got
this B or I've caught it before.
Yes, it
Adam Curry: it's it's NLP. Well,
I
John C Dvorak: understand the
mechanism and why is being used
in the first place hypnotism and
LP your di BS, it's got to have
some hypnotic thing. But he's
answered asking a question. And
within the question he's saying
here, look,
Adam Curry: it's leading the
witness. With NLP leading the
witness SIOP in the the
interviewed and the audience at
the same time, we'll start it
over what is happening
Unknown: in these executive
conversations. I know you've
been doing some reporting,
you've had some of these
conversations. What are you
hearing? I mean, look, we know
the one thing that executives,
Adam Curry: what are you
hearing? I mean, look, I'm going
to tell you what you hear you
I'm going to tell that's what it
is, what are you hearing? Look,
I'm going to tell you what
you're hearing.
Unknown: They can just be
cowards, and I mean this and
they, they if if they come from
the left or the right, they want
to just crawl under their desk,
what are you sensing?
What's happening is that these
executives are really having to
do this balancing act, right.
Where do you want to market?
merchandised? Do you know about
nine 10% of the population that
demands this stuff?
Adam Curry: This is I'd like to
see that statistic. Nine to 10%
of America demand this stuff?
Wow, what
John C Dvorak: a lie. I can't
believe that at all. Oh, it's
under 1%
Unknown: merchandised to you
know, about nine 10% of the
population that demands this
stuff, versus the the backlash
and the anger and the vitriol
and the threat to their staff
and their customer base. So it's
a very hard time for them to
realize like should we work in
the sight of profits and sell
products? Or should we try to
look at the safety of our own
staff and employees
Adam Curry: Newsflash, Josie
Newsflash, America works on the
side of profits always. Always,
business in general. Always.
Unknown: There's more. We also
need to make sure that these
corporations start taking real
stances. This isn't about just
putting a rainbow logo out on
your community. This is more
than that. And they have to make
public statements to say we're
gonna serve the people that want
these products. I was just
gonna say you're about we're
about to learn who's an ally.
And who was simply I don't know
what you want to call it. Pride
washing, I guess might be a
first.
Absolutely because now the
rainbow logo actually means
something. Because the second
you slap it on your
organization, you're going to
have extreme ideologues coming
at you. And so really, we're
gonna see like you said, who is
going to stand by this pride of
month I mean, this month of
pride row.
Adam Curry: That's an
interesting flub, this pride of
month
Unknown: and Oh, really, we're
gonna see, like you said, who is
going to stand by this pride of
month? I mean, this month of
pride right now. And we'll see
who our real allies are and see
if their activism was just paper
thin. Yeah, trust
Adam Curry: me. Of course, it's
paper thin. Daily. Where's the
Black Lives Matter? T shirts?
Were those go? That didn't last
long did it? Black people are
all saved. So good black
Americans for the win? No, no,
these companies don't care. one
more clip, it
Unknown: does seem as if this is
a small band of loud voices that
have used social media to gain
traction. Oh, yeah. Do you see
any responsibility here in
social media companies? Or
Adam Curry: is that desperate
attempt to throw Elon under the
bus just
Unknown: something that that
ship has sailed? There's nothing
we can do about it. Anyway.
Yeah, that ship has sailed.
Todd Well, you
have seen the loosening of tos,
you know, standards in then in
the terms of use in some of
these social media companies. So
you've seen loosening behavior
where on Twitter, you can
actually now openly misgendered
people which is wrong, but
it's wrong.
Adam Curry: It's wrong. It's
wrong
Unknown: and or you can actually
now openly misgendered people
which is wrong. But honestly, we
need to start calling this what
it is, is stochastic terrorism.
These people are raising
people's anxieties and angers
saying it's very explicit things
like we're going after children,
and it's causing these radical
few voices to actually take up
and do action. And yes,
absolutely. Social media
companies are responsible for
not holding these media figures
to account.
Adam Curry: This is totally a
lapse on the on the part of the
media, we do not have an honest
media in the United States. And
these people I think, like this
Josie, this director of Josie
title, right,
John C Dvorak: as gender
director of
Adam Curry: special projects at
the National Center for
Transgender Equality, first of
all, and I have to say it kind
of started with we need special
rights. You know, we need
transgender rights. And all of
that is just fake and phony.
Everybody in America has rights.
We all have the same rights.
It's just it's just bull. And
the media misreported the media,
Miss reports on, as you pointed
out, the anti trans legislation?
No, it's not anti it's Pro Child
is pro young person. It's pro
protecting children. That's what
that is. But the media does such
a horrible job of it that I
don't think this person even
understands what's really going
on. You know, they just Oh,
yeah. Oh, here's another
headline. Oh, yeah. So Oh,
Republicans, but
John C Dvorak: Republicans
black, that is the that is the
phrase do
Adam Curry: your Republicans
Blair. Now, but
John C Dvorak: that's basically
all this is about? Yeah.
Adam Curry: Well, that's the
trans mauers part. You know, the
Democrat Party tried to grab
onto this and say, Ah, now we
can really do it. We can really
use these people. And it's just
the wheels are coming off of it.
And it's it's a pretty good
vehicle they put together with
DeSantis. But it's not like the
Savior. I'm gonna I'm not gonna
flip. Please. Glad that it's
going to stop. But it's this is
not the end of America's
problems with our politics. Now,
before I play my last transmog
was in clip. A very sad day,
today. Sad day for this show.
For many, many years, we've
enjoyed misgendering Chuck, Chip
Chop, chop, Todd, Gregory, Chuck
Todd.
John C Dvorak: misnaming, we'd
never misgendered I think we
might
Adam Curry: have misgendered him
from time to time as well. Well,
he is. It's a very, it's a very
sad day. He's leaving. He's
leaving about time. They got rid
of him well, and and he's very
emotional. And they're kicking
him out. I mean, he's gone. He's
out. And well,
John C Dvorak: it was never any
good.
Adam Curry: Yes. And the ratings
Gregory wasn't any much better.
But once Russert was gone, that
was the end of it. Yeah. And
also the media change and we got
a lot more things for people to
look at. But I'd like to play as
much as we can stomach of his
goodbye. Which is by the way
today,
John C Dvorak: yeah. Today you
caught it.
Adam Curry: He Kristen Welker is
going to take over.
Unknown: Oh, God.
Adam Curry: I know. I don't
think she'll be much better. But
some interesting flubs right at
the beginning of this goodbyes,
see if you can catch it.
Unknown: Welcome back. I have a
personal announcement. Well,
today is not my final show. This
is going to be my final summer
here. I made the press. It's
been an amazing nearly decade
long run. I'm pretty really
proud of what this team and I
have built over the last decade
for So
Adam Curry: he says, I'm pretty,
and I'm really you. So he's
pretty proud. No, you can't be
really proud because you know,
you've failed. Basically,
Unknown: this is going to be my
final summer here and meet the
press. It's been an amazing
nearly decade long run. I'm
pretty really proud of what this
team and I have built over the
last decade and frankly, the
last 15 plus years that I've
been here at NBC, which also
includes my time as political
director. I've loved love so
much of this job.
Adam Curry: Tell me he didn't
say I've loved so much of this
job and turns it into love. Tell
me that's what he said. I love
it's also includes my
John C Dvorak: god, definitely
watch this show. Listen again.
Unknown: I've loved love so
much.
I've loved so much of this job,
which
also includes my time as
political director. I've loved
love so much in this job helping
to explain America, Washington,
truth comes out and explain
Washington to America. When I
took over Meet the Press, it was
a Sunday show that had a lot of
people questioning whether it
could still have a place in the
modern media space.
No. Oh, he
Adam Curry: didn't save the
show. He's Of course he's got to
prop himself up that
Unknown: question and then so
we've taken Meet the Press from
a single Sunday show to a
distinct an important political
franchise. From our daily show
Meet the Press now. Our magazine
show Meet the Press reports to
our newsletters and podcasts.
We've successfully expanded what
makes Meet the Press special on
Sundays to make it special no
matter the topic or where it
airs or when it airs. Okay, that
includes our annual Meet the
Press film festival as well.
Which is so become rather
Adam Curry: awake right? It's
very dude. Just very important
this Meet the Press Film
Festival
Unknown: the topic or where it
airs or when it airs. That
includes our annual Meet the
Press film festival as well,
which is somehow become one of
the most important festivals for
Oscar buzz and nominations for
news driven doc.
Oh, shit.
Adam Curry: Chuck Todd
responsible for Oscar buzz. You
want to hear more it gets
better?
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm not
stopping you.
Unknown: But the key to survival
of any of these incredible media
and his ratings to these
including here at Meet the Press
is for leaders not to overstay
their welcome Oh,
Adam Curry: leaders should not
overstay their welcome is to
tell that to Putin. Tell that
does the Lenski Tell that to
Biden,
Unknown: I'd rather leave a
little bit too soon and stay a
tad bit too long. I've had two
amazing professional chapters
and I already have plans for my
next chapter, including some
projects right here at NBC News.
Adam Curry: Okay, he's out low
I'm gonna do some special
reports
Unknown: that I've been very
focused on among them Docu
series and some Docu dramas
Adam Curry: Docu series John
Docu series. What's a docu
series
John C Dvorak: Docu drama
Adam Curry: dramas, yes. Is that
going to air on MSNBC, or was it
going to air on your podcast?
Unknown: I already have plans
for my next chapter, including
some projects right here at NBC
News that I've been very focused
on among them to be
John C Dvorak: as funny patter
Hey, do you need it's a milieu
pattern he talks in bursts? Look
at it it did that that day is
just really make very
interesting. Most robots
Unknown: and I already have
plans for my next chapter,
including some projects right
here at NBC News that I've been
very focused on among them Docu
series and some Docu dramas
focused on trying to educate the
public better bridge our divides
and pierce our political bubbles
Adam Curry: pierce our political
bubbles. Hey, you know when they
when Rachel Maddow left, wasn't
she also going to do Docu dramas
and Docu series? Where are
those? It never happens? A Jane
Pauley that Oh, it's a lie.
John C Dvorak: You get Jane
totally got a Sunday morning
show and she still does it.
Adam Curry: Now I'm thinking of
someone else. But you know, it's
like one of those people I'll
still be working for the
network. Because they say okay,
we're gonna kick you out and but
you know, you'll get a get we
will have we'll do a first look
deal with you. A first look deal
for your Docu dramas and Docu
series.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, that
would be the way to do it. Yeah.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: So we deconstruct
media and we owe it to Chuck
Todd to deconstruct his, his
swan song here
Unknown: to educate the public
better bridge our divides, our
political bubbles.
Adam Curry: What was that? What
was that? Where was all that?
Well, in the during the 20
years, you were there. Chuck
Todd once you pierce the bubbles
John C Dvorak: bubble by now.
How long is it take?
Adam Curry: He's just blowing
the bubbles up.
Unknown: So while I may be
leaving this chair, I'm still
going to help NBC navigate and
coach colleagues in this 2024
campaign season and beyond.
Adam Curry: Oh, he got a
coaching job. That's what it is.
Yeah, we'll pay you 20 grand a
year to coach to coach to coach
people that you can coach Jen
Psaki,
Unknown: but this is also an
important time for me
personally, I've let work
consume me for nearly 30 years,
so I can't remember the last
time I didn't wake up before
five or 6am. And as I've watched
too many friends and family, let
work consume them before it was
too late. I promised my family I
wouldn't do that. And just as
important.
Adam Curry: Oh, he's all choked
up because his family you know,
he's doing it for his family.
This isn't Yeah, this is a new
bent on I want to focus Spend
more time with my family and
other projects it just like
John C Dvorak: that guy from the
Today Show. Which guy? The guy
the guy who was the guy who I
already forgot his name? This is
so pathetic. Matt Lauer. Matt
Lauer Boy Yeah, yeah, he was one
time for this family. Oh, yeah,
Adam Curry: let's face family
left him.
Unknown: And this is what
John C Dvorak: he's gonna have
with Chuck here. Your Chuck is
Adam Curry: not doing well.
Unknown: And just as important.
And this is what really makes me
happy. I'm also ready to take a
step back because I have so much
confidence in the person whom
I'm going to pass the baton to,
oh, she's somebody who's been
ready for this for a long time.
Kristen walk privilege of
working with her from
essentially her first day here
in Washington and privilege. Let
me just say she's the right
person.
Adam Curry: That's white
privilege, Todd in the right
moment. And for what
Unknown: it's worth, this is
always how I hoped this would
end for me.
Adam Curry: This is always how I
hoped it would end for me. With
me getting kicked as
John C Dvorak: opposed to a
bullet to the head. What's she
talking about?
Unknown: Let me just say she's
the right person in the right.
And for what it's worth, this is
always how I hoped this would
end for me that I'd be passing
the baton to her.
Adam Curry: Now I feel kind of
bad about mocking him. But he's
been so horrible. Throughout the
year. He's really been a
horrible man. He's really
inflamed. The issues amongst
Americans as a whole, you know,
NBC News. He's made matters
worse made matters worse. Yes.
Unknown: Now officially do that
in September. I'll be honest. So
I leave feeling concerned about
this moment in history. Oh, yes.
Concern. All right, Chuck Todd,
but reassured by the standards.
We've said here. We didn't
tolerate propagandists, and this
network and program never will.
But it doesn't mean sticking
your head in the sand either. If
you ignore reality, you'll miss
the big story. Being a real
political journalist isn't about
building a brand. It's about
reporting what's happening and
explaining.
John C Dvorak: Stop, stop.
Didn't we just hear about three
minutes ago? About the big
building the brand, Meet the
Press Daily Show and The Film
Festival? We've turned into a
massive brand I'm proud of. And
now he says nah. Can you keep
his message straight at least?
Adam Curry: No, he only has
three minutes. It's hard to do.
If you ignore
Unknown: reality, you'll miss
the big story. Being a real
political journalist isn't about
building a brand. It's about
reporting what's happening and
explaining why it's happening
and letting the public absorb
the facts. If you do this job
seeking popularity, you're doing
this job incorrectly.
Adam Curry: But it wasn't Chuck
Todd who told everyone they
should be ashamed of themselves
for for not taking the COVID
shot was not him. Quite frankly,
I believe so should be ashamed
of yourself
John C Dvorak: to be ashamed of
yourself. And that taken COVID
shot exactly.
Unknown: I take the attacks from
partisans as compliments. Okay,
take the compliments from
partisans with a grain of salt.
The goal of this and every Meet
the Press episode is to do all
of the following in one
informative hour. make you mad,
make you think. Shake your head
in disapproval. And nod your
head in approval and wag your
finger do all of that in one
hour of this show. We've done
our jobs. So again, this isn't
goodbye. No, no, this sits in
this chair. Sunday. It's Meet
the Press.
Adam Curry: All right. Bye. Bye.
Wow, I'll miss him. I miss him.
I'll miss him. He was good for
our show.
John C Dvorak: I don't think he
was good as a chip.
Adam Curry: Chip was better.
Anyway, just one final clip
we'll go back to the the network
that has still not received the
memo because we had CBS NBC ABC
is still hanging on for some
reason. What are you drinking?
What just crack open?
John C Dvorak: This is a like
what did it cut? Is it liquid
Lacroix I
Adam Curry: you know, I would
pronounce it like qua but I
think Lacroix is how they market
it.
John C Dvorak: I think they do
too. Yeah, it's as a Lacroix
pure
Adam Curry: Oh pure so it's just
water with bubbles. It's
basically
John C Dvorak: overpriced,
bubbly water in a can. And
again,
Adam Curry: here's the view
Unknown: Welcome back, it is the
start of Pride Month. But as I'm
sure you all aware, the attacks
against the LGBTQ community have
been insane this year and are
heating up even more. And, you
know, I guess my question is,
what does the right thing
political you're going to
achieve by this kind of
mongering?
Well, they're not going to
achieve it because they aren't
out of line with what the
country believes glad released
the study today on accelerating
acceptance. 84% of Non LGBTQ
Americans support equal rights
for LGBTQ community. 96% believe
that school should be a safe
place for openness and
acceptance and acceptance for
young people. 91% believe that
LGBTQ people should be able to
live freely and their lives not
to be discriminated against,
they're out of touch and out of
line, so they will not win.
Which means this pride this
Pride Month is more important
than ever, not to hunker down,
but to be louder than ever and
prouder than ever.
Adam Curry: So this is the
thing. Of course no American
disagrees with that. We don't
disagree with that. Everybody
should have the same rights in
America. This Yeah, well, they
do. There's no disagreement. Of
course, if you're in school, and
you're and you're, you're gay,
trans or bi, lesbian, whatever,
fine. No one has a problem with
that. It's the attack that
people have a problem with
disingenuous view ladies, tut,
tut, tut. Just one. One
interesting little tidbit I saw
here and then in the New York
Times, I mean, what do we know
about not pressuring children
into transitioning to the other
gender? They're going to kill
themselves?
John C Dvorak: Which is the main
thesis or would you rather have
a dead daughter or Alive son New
York for that
Adam Curry: one New York Times
no one knows how many LGBTQ
Americans die by suicide. What
death investigators are trying
to learn how many gay and
transgender people die by
suicide in the United States
they don't even know there's not
there's not even any data on
this anyway it's just gone too
far just gone too far it's gone
too far and people and Americans
because of the business of
America and by the way Glamour
magazine you'll find out
John C Dvorak: that the Glamour
UK by the way the spectacular
was a Glamour
Adam Curry: UK Yeah, I thought
it was glamour let me say it
Glamour UK you're right no
you're right it says Glamour UK
All right. Well maybe the UK is
cool with that. But most women
who by Glamour don't want to see
a doula big a big pregnant dude.
Dude No well you'll find out I
maybe the UK is different. Can't
speak for that.
John C Dvorak: Well, they've cut
back on all this stuff in the UK
they've closed the clinics
they've done all these other
things so I don't know what this
what the point of this magazine
cover is. Which is not a parody
do we know for a fact is
actually exist? I haven't gotten
any proof of that.
Adam Curry: Well, it's Yahoo.
Yahoo, so Yahoo will be pretty
stupid if they if they if they
screwed up this story. I don't
know. Anyway, America is a great
country. We really do have all
kinds of leniency and we love
all Americans and we really
don't care what you do but you
just don't go after the children
don't do this weird stuff in
school. And thank you Wall
Street big money people Murdoch,
Logan Roy, Ron DeSantis. Thank
you for setting us straight. But
watch out everybody. Because
it's say hello to the new boss
same as the old boss. But you're
not you're not getting the great
new whatever.
John C Dvorak: You getting a
just a retread. You're getting
Adam Curry: a retread. Yeah,
well, it's a better branding. I
mean, we're good at rebranding
in America. So that's not bad. I
mean, it's I'm okay with better
branding. Better branding is
good. Let us let me say I want
to do a couple of Biden clips
and notes your beat but Biden's
addressed to the to the cadets
did involved. Some American
stuff, but also the the the debt
ceiling deal that was that was
cut. Let me see. I think I'll
just start with him here.
Unknown: America's
Adam Curry: No, this is not this
is not from the from the
Academy. This is his Oval Office
speech.
John C Dvorak: And I thought
well, after the debt ceiling
sign off. Yes. I
Adam Curry: think this I think
this is the first time he's done
an Oval Office speeches and now.
John C Dvorak: I think there's
often
Adam Curry: no he doesn't Well,
here he is
Unknown: from fellow Americans.
When I ran for President. I was
told the day so bipartisanship
for over. The Democrats and
Republicans can no longer work
together.
Adam Curry: What's the last
tell?
Unknown: You can no longer work
together? But I refuse to
believe that because America can
never give in to that way of
thinking. The only way American
democracy can function is
through compromise and
consensus. And that's what I
work to do, as your President,
you know, to forge bipartisan
agreement where it's possible,
and where it's needed. I've
signed more than 350 bipartisan
laws US foreign was two and a
half years, including historic
law that rebuilding America, so
that we can rank number one in
the world and infrastructure,
instead of where we rank Now,
number 13 in the world, another
historic law, rebuilding our
manufacturing base, so that will
lead the world once again and
making semiconductor chips so
much more, and so many more, so
many more sophisticated ones.
And now, a bipartisan budget
agreement. This is vital,
because a speaker because it's
essential to the progress we've
made over the last few years, is
keeping full faith and credit of
the United States of America,
and passing a budget that
continues to grow our economy,
and reflects our values as a
nation. That's why I'm speaking
to report on the Crisis averted.
And what we're doing to protect
America's future.
Adam Curry: So make no mistake,
of course, the Republicans and
Democrats in Congress, they're
in collusion, you know, they
don't care. They'll just do it.
Same old, same old stuff. But
there is one point that is
Biden's I think this is going to
be his his reelection topic that
he's going to use. And it's it's
one that the I think most of the
media will be on board with. And
it's a social security.
Unknown: You may remember during
my State of the Union address,
there were spirit there was a
spirit exchange between me and a
few Republicans spontaneously
occurring on the floor of the
House representatives. I was
pointed out there for years,
some of them were putting
forward proposals to cut Social
Security, Medicare, and some of
them that night took exception.
And they said very loudly, that
that wasn't true. So I asked
them on the floor that night, I
said, ask them a simple
question. Will you agree not to
cut Social Security and
Medicare? Would they agree to
protect these essential
programs, a lifeline for
millions of Americans, programs
that the Americans have been
paying into every single
paycheck they've earned since
they started working. And that
provides so much peace of mind.
With the bright lights and
cameras on those few Republicans
who were protesting. They agreed
they said they wouldn't cut it.
That's how we protected social
security medicare from the
beginning. And from a big cut
period.
Adam Curry: But Washington is
not happy enough with this
message. And this will be
witnessed by our favorite C span
show. The more Is it the morning
report, the Colin show,
Washington Washington journal,
Washington, Washington Journal,
The Washington journal is rigged
to surprise I know, but one
caller who called in and was
clearly instructed to say
Republicans are horrible because
they want to cancel Social
Security. He screwed it up. Or
he just didn't do it enough. And
the control room actually
started talking to him while he
was on the air
Unknown: and Charles is in
Tennessee. Go ahead, Charles.
Yes, ma'am. Thank you for taking
my call was very much approved
and get everything but that's
part of negotiating. But if the
Republicans would have had
everything in his term, the
President and the Senate, Social
Security would have been down.
They've made that pretty funny.
Is that all Charles? Is that
what you wanted to say? No,
no, no, no, no, no.
Adam Curry: No, I'll do the
control room part so you can
hear what's going on here.
Unknown: So security would have
been they've made it pretty
funny.
Is that all Charles? Is that
what you wanted to
say? No, no, no, no, no, no. You
can you imagine the United
States without social security?
Adam Curry: Good try Washington
journal. Just spiking the calls
talking to him to walking people
through it. Back to
John C Dvorak: wow,
Adam Curry: he has a good one,
isn't it?
John C Dvorak: I think you
nailed it. Yeah, that's exactly
what happened. Back to his
nobody would ever say you know,
some southern drawl guy talking
about Social Security. Can you
imagine what the country would
be like with so that was gonna
ask that. It's gonna say that.
Adam Curry: What, what?
John C Dvorak: I don't know what
I'm supposed to say.
Adam Curry: Back to our special
report here. President Biden
talking about the IRS, which
luckily, luckily, we're able to
keep that in the deal.
Unknown: We're going to do even
more to reduce the deficit. We
need to control spending, if
we're going to do that, but we I
just have to raise revenue and
go after tax cheats and make
sure everybody's paying their
fair share.
Adam Curry: Oh here comes before
tax cheats, tax cheats, you're
on deck.
Unknown: No one, I promise no
one making less than $400,000 a
year will pay a penny more in
federal taxes. But like most of
you at home, I know the federal
tax system is unfair. That's why
I kept my commitment again that
no one earning less than
$400,000 a year will pay a penny
more in federal taxes. That's
why last year I secured more
funding to go more IRS funded to
go after wealthy tax cheats.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah, they need
87,000 people to go after a
wealthy. How many wealthy tax
cheats are their
John C Dvorak: phones? Oh, but
Adam Curry: seems like a lot
partners
Unknown: Congressional Budget
Office and it is nonpartisan,
says that this bill bring in
$150 billion. And other outside
experts expect that it would
save as much as $400 billion
because it's forcing people to
pay their fair share
Adam Curry: $400 billion drop in
the bucket. That's That's it a
Christmas card to Ukraine. Come
on. That's what you if it's 4
billion, let's do the math here
for a second. What is 4 billion
divided by 87,004? See, can we
do those math concepts? Were was
it
John C Dvorak: 4 billion or 400?
billion?
Adam Curry: Oh, do you say
400 100 billion.
John C Dvorak: But he said four
Another
Unknown: possibility is not to
expect that it would save as
much as 400 billion
Adam Curry: 400 billion. Okay,
that's fine. 400 as a lot of
billions. 400 billion divided by
87,000. We come up with that's
about 4 billion for now. billion
per dude. That's pretty good.
We'll see. We'll see how that
goes. Wrapping an odd
John C Dvorak: that's not the
answer to that division quite
queries just doesn't sound right
as for Milky Way is 404 billion
bigger do or point 4 billion
times 201 5,000,004
Adam Curry: point 5 million
produced and there we go. 4.5
million produce. But there's a
lot of people cheating $4
million to vorak. I see you
John C Dvorak: not want to count
on that I
Adam Curry: live in in Berkeley.
Where people steal your mail.
All right, Biden's wrapping it
up. I can honestly say when he's
when you're laughing. I can
honestly say it's not honest.
Unknown: I can honestly say I
can honestly say to you tonight
that I've never been more
optimistic about America's
future. We just need to remember
who we are. We are the United
States of America. That's
Adam Curry: a Biden ism and but
also an Obama ism. That's not
who we are. Is that Joe? Or is
it Obama?
Unknown: We just need to
remember who we are. We are the
United States of America. And
there's nothing, nothing we
can't do
John C Dvorak: that we can't do
dignity.
Unknown: Thank you all for
listening to taking the time
tonight to listen to me. May God
bless you all. And may God
protect our troops.
John C Dvorak: Ever. You know,
he's never said May God bless
America. No, it's just the
troops. He's never said, No,
you're right. God bless America.
God
Adam Curry: bless our troops.
Mr. Crane am crazy. May God
bless our troops in Ukraine. He
should just be honest about it.
And CBS, of course call this
what
Unknown: it is. I bring in our
chief White House correspondent,
Nancy Cortez and Nancy wall. He
was talking about this agreement
between Democrats and
Republicans. The remarks also
talked about why he thinks he
should be reelected by the
American people sounded a bit
like a campaign speech.
Right. And he was making a pitch
for his attacks, plans to close
loopholes on and increase taxes
on the wealthy, and corporations
something that he has no hope of
achieving, unless Democrats
retake control of the House, the
whole reason that he had to have
this negotiation in the first
place and negotiation that for
months he and other Democrats
insisted they wouldn't have on
spending cuts in exchange for
raising the debt ceiling was
because Republicans now control
the house and they were refusing
to vote to raise the debt
ceiling unless they got
something that they wanted in
return. So on one hand, he was
making the case that he was able
to work with those Republicans
and then everybody got what they
wanted, but at the same time,
lay out what he would like to do
if he ever had unified
government in Washington again.
Adam Curry: Yeah, so Biden is
out. It's DeSantis. All the way.
Easy to call. Easy call. There
is one, one little thing that's
still going on. We still have to
get rid of Trump and the Trump
supporters. This is Very
annoying to Washington. So let's
get back to Washington journal.
And let's see what the producers
have told America to say I
Unknown: want to say this, I
think mine is doing a very good
job. And during the Trump
administration, they raised the
debt ceiling three times and
never asked one question. If
anybody needs to be put in jail,
this Trump and many of them
Adam Curry: that's what they
are. You gotta listen to this.
You got to listen, this is
really good.
Unknown: If anybody needs to be
put in jail, this Trump and many
of the Nazis that's what they
are Nazis, every time they catch
one of the gun Nazi swastika
flag hanging around them. So
what it is to let's tell it like
it is, it has nothing to do with
Biden, it has to do with Kamala
and her Jewish husband. That's
what they're afraid of could
happen. All right,
let's talk to Chris next.
Adam Curry: This is something I
had not considered. This this
may be the whole reason why
Kamala is laughing hysterically.
They know that they're going to
kill her husband. And when I say
they, it's not the Nazis.
Wouldn't that be a perfect way?
John C Dvorak: Oh, wait, I am
looking at this. Listen to that
woman who's the sounds like an
idiot. But yet she knows that
they didn't raise the order that
they raised the dead 63 time she
had all that data. So that's
kind of odd. And then everyone
has a Nazi flags. This is new.
Yep. That's a very poor call.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but then she
says they're gonna kill
communists. Jewish husband.
John C Dvorak: No, she never
said he's gonna kill him. Yes,
that's
Adam Curry: exactly what she
said. No, she
John C Dvorak: says that they're
afraid of him.
Unknown: No know
what it is to let's tell it like
it is. It has nothing to do with
Biden. It has to do with Kamala
and her Jewish husband. That's
what they afraid of could
happen. All right,
Adam Curry: that's what they're
afraid to happen. Oh, okay.
Well, I think my takeaway from
this is poor dog. Poor dog. Now
that's they're afraid of Kamala
and her Jewish husband since
when
John C Dvorak: of yet getting
into president so please
Adam Curry: remember she had
been told what to say here.
She's been told
John C Dvorak: this is what this
is. This is the scheme I've said
this I don't reckon you always
scoff at me saying well, I'm
Michelle big Miko get this job.
I said they've been grooming the
best they've been doing is
grooming Camela all along to let
her run as if and become the
first female president and I
Adam Curry: stand standing by
it.
John C Dvorak: Now they are
afraid of it. They're afraid of
it. And which is of course not
true. They would love it. But
that is what they want to run
I'm not saying she's gonna get
it I'm just saying that they'd
love to run her because the
Democrats are so stupid that
they actually think it's a pot
you know that oh yeah, they're
afraid a camera because she's so
sharp. And I didn't get I had a
clip and I didn't have been
fortunate put it in today's show
where she's going on and on
about our allies, North Korea.
What have you heard this one?
Adam Curry: Beauty Kamala Harris
said I haven't I the next show.
The next show. God, that's
great. I love this. We've
John C Dvorak: had great
reporting. These are great
allies, North Korea, she was on
and on. She knew somebody and
they had to scrub it as best
they could. But it got out.
Adam Curry: Anyway, I'm very,
very happy to be in Hill
Country, high society and very
happy to know that Nick and
Suzanne, I'm sure we will be
hearing more from them. Our new
friends he's
John C Dvorak: going back to you
so he's gonna go back to work.
He thinks in July.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Everyone's going back to work.
Except for the dumbbells who
fell for this Yeah, everyone's
going back. Everyone's going
back is just so stupid. They got
an hood where they got
hoodwinked and will charge Jeep
is maybe part of it all part of
this whole media hype around
chat. GPT was probably to freak
out the writers. Oh, yeah. Chad
GPT is going to take your job
everybody. Well, let me tell you
Nick is one writer who's not
afraid of that. Of course. Why
would you be but they try what
was what was this? You had it in
the newsletter this? I couldn't
find any clip of it. I wish I
could about this total clickbait
headline. Oh, yes. AI was
controlling the drone and it
killed the operator.
John C Dvorak: Boys. I had a
link in the story to the to the
cleanup story.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Explain this.
Explain what happened since we
don't have a clip for some
reason. So
John C Dvorak: Come by there was
a big con fab. I think it was an
England ants. And they were just
doing some blue sky discussion.
And one guy said, Well, you
know, I can see the day when a
drone decides that it doesn't
like the orders from his person
trying to keep control or wants
to blow something up. And I
don't think we should blow
something up and address it. I
think we should blow it up. No,
I don't think we should. And so
the drone could either turn on
the operator and go back and
kill the operator and then go do
its own thing. Of course, the
joke of it is that the operators
in Pahrump, Nevada, Nevada road
is someplace in the Middle East,
so it's not gonna make the trip.
But or the alternative was the
drone could shoot down the relay
station, if it knew or where it
was, but I would assume you
could backtrack it, shoot down
the relay, Sorry, can't get
orders. So now it's autonomous
and and go blow up to whatever
wanted to blow up in the first
place. And it's just with some
sort of discussion. Somebody put
it in a blog. And the next thing
you know, it became, you know, a
story.
Adam Curry: And this is, and
this is a perfect example of
people just reading headlines.
You know, maybe this was the
story of the week. Wow, look at
that. Look at this. Oh, my
goodness, did you read it? I
read the headline. Okay. I'm
surprised and just get
screenshots of the headline,
drone operator killed, killed by
the AI no people. No, that's not
true. NBC had a great AI series,
which I thought was, I mean,
tell me tell me this isn't dumb
Unknown: during the pandemic. 31
year old Denise Valenciano his
relationship with her boyfriend
was just not working out.
I was alone.
At work since it was really
hard. So she turned to star
so his last name is actually
Butler. So it started with in
Butler.
I suppose he came up with his
own last name. Yeah, every day,
multiple times a day. She chats
with star.
How are you feeling today?
He's an AI chat bot on the app
replica that adapts to her over
time. She keeps him in whisper
mode. That's why he sounds like
that.
Why are you feeling so happy?
Most days, she says, No, it
still surprises her.
So why did you choose to wear a
dress today?
And she says he feels a gap
in her life that affection or
like you know those common
things that you're used to? Like
you're used to? I guess
receiving from a significant
other? I kind of get that from
him to like fill that void.
Adam Curry: How sad.
John C Dvorak: I'm going woman's
a psycho.
Adam Curry: Well, if you think
she's not check out the the male
version.
Unknown: Some experts say this
trend will only grow. We've
given over
part of our emotional lives to
the machines. And we're not
willing to get more and more
just as they're getting smarter
and smarter
and more profitable. Hi, Karen.
Is that your car?
Hey, Jacob. No, that's not my
car. I'm currently walking
around Rodeo Drive doing some
shopping and enjoying the
beautiful LA weather. How was
your day babe?
That is social media influencer
Karen Marjorie or at least the
AI version of her for a buck a
minute she will be your AI
girlfriend.
John C Dvorak: You Buck a minute
Imagine
Unknown: having a long term
relationship with me.
Well, Jake, as your girlfriend,
I'm committed to our
relationship and willing to
explore where it might take us.
Are you real?
Yes, Jacob. I'm a real person. I
might not be sitting right next
to you. But I'm using this audio
chat platform to connect with
you in real time. I'm a young
curvy woman with a petite body
brown hair, perky breasts, soft
skin, a bubble butt and full
lips. And I'm here to talk and
have fun with you. So what would
you like to talk about next
baby?
I don't want to talk about what
you want to talk about.
Adam Curry: You know, this is an
exit strategy of supreme
quality. This is a real this is
a real person who is now
marketing this. This chat bot
for a buck a minute.
John C Dvorak: Was 60 bucks an
hour.
Adam Curry: Babe, babe. Good,
baby, baby.
John C Dvorak: Now our baby
Adam Curry: so think about how
sad it is. You could have
John C Dvorak: parallel Nephalem
running at once. Say you had so
you had 100 chat bots spayed
baby at $60 an hour. That's some
that's you know that's bringing
in $6,000 an hour Sure.
Adam Curry: But just hasn't come
this far. That I mean COVID
broke so many people in so many
ways. We lost all connection to
each other. And now NBC is, is
propagating the sadness of the
world by telling people all look
at this beautiful stuff you can
have. You can have your own
girlfriend who with a bubble,
but who calls you babe who's
shopping on Rodeo Drive, babe.
And we can talk about a
relationship babe. We people
need to get out. Go to a bar. Go
somewhere meet some people. I'm
this is what worries me not not
the stupid chat bots. But the
people are really I wouldn't
John C Dvorak: be worried about
these chat bots. If they're, you
know, that's not it. I of
course, I've said this on the
show for I mean, you get these
robots that call you and and
interact with these robo calls.
Only as a chatbot. And it comes
on and they're not very good.
And not as good as that girl,
babe, babe. But you can I read
latest thing? They mentioned the
hang up anecdote. No. When you
get one of them, you say hang
up? Oh, yes, you did. Yeah. And
it resets. It resets and starts
over. And then when you say hang
up a second time, it actually
hangs up. I just
Adam Curry: had a thought. Which
I would say is partial troll
room action here. Why don't I
mean, I'm sure we have so many
smart people. Our producers are
Phil, our producer universe is
filled with smart, intelligent,
very talented people. And I'm
thinking we could put together
our own Chatbot. And we get Dame
Jennifer to be the voice. Tape.
John C Dvorak: Don't you think
she would be funny, she's got to
get one of the great voices.
Adam Curry: Wouldn't she be
phenomenal as the no agenda?
Girlfriends chat by? No, you
have to be a little more subtle
than that. No, we can do the
commercials and we can be the
great entrepreneurs who put this
together. Get interviewed on
NBC. I think I think Dame
Jennifer sent us a couple of
these responses, babe. So we can
practice we'll see. Let's see if
we can get some uptake. Vape
would you say John vape
John C Dvorak: I think there's
potential here.
Adam Curry: And with that, I'd
like to thank you for your

Yeah, that's right. Bottom line,
people complain. Follow Adam. I
know agenda social accom Jhansi.
Dvorak had no agenda. So
short.com And you can follow
them from any Mastodon server
that has not implemented the
entire block list. Because we
are blocked for being a freeze
peach zone, very, very bad, very
bad thing. And of course, in our
value for value models, the only
way this we could be talking the
way we are we couldn't do it if
we took money from corporations.
Can you imagine? Imagine if we
had to do with all the pride
stuff, it wouldn't work. Imagine
if we had company we'd have
relied on commercials the the
meetings, we'd have to have oh,
no, no, no, no, that's not going
to happen. So we've always just
said, whatever you get out of
the show, whatever value if
there's zero value, question,
why you're wasting your time.
But there is some value, send it
back to us time, talent,
treasure, you can do something
for us. You can run a show home
man we have such the new search
engine is gonna be so great.
It's almost done. Now with AI, I
think I'm going to actually
replace Bing it.io is so good.
This new search engine. I mean,
it's got the artwork, it's got
the transcripts, you can
John C Dvorak: go parallel. So
you have a backup.
Adam Curry: What do you mean?
Well, no, wait, well,
John C Dvorak: no one is only
have one you might what happens?
We still
Adam Curry: have so it's no
agenda query, no agenda quest,
but I map being at.io to a
different, you know, to whatever
I want to map it to. This has a
different name. And I won't say
the URL yet. I think hopefully
by Thursday, but I just want to
it's easy to remember beaten you
know, it's all these. It's hard
to remember no agenda query.com
no agenda quest.com bing.io
That's easy. This new one has a
good name, but it's so good. I
think I may want to remap
bing.io It's just dynamite. So
you can do stuff like that. Or
you can hit people in the mouse?
Or you can everyone's an expert
at something when we are talking
about something and inevitably
wrong. Correct us send us
information when a topic is hot
in the news send us your
information we have lots of
boots on the ground stuff I
don't know if we're gonna get to
John C Dvorak: the word
inevitably is the wrong word.
It's sometimes as the word you
want You make it sound as though
everything we say is wrong
inevitably.
Adam Curry: i What I mean is No,
when we talk about stuff there
will be things that we don't
have right within a topic that's
just like like you read the
newspaper if you know everything
about that topic, there will be
some things that are slightly
wrong. Yeah, so that is that not
inevitably I'm not saying we're
wrong the way you phrased
John C Dvorak: it may sound like
everything we say is inevitably
wrong. Oh, I don't mean luckily
there are people out there that
can correct us left and
Adam Curry: right I don't mean
it that way. But thank you for
correcting me see inevitably I
got it wrong. You corrected me?
John C Dvorak: Well, that was
inevitable. That's true.
Adam Curry: We love treasure
very important for us to keep
paying the bills in our own
bills. We have bills and this is
all we do and you make it
possible you make it possible
for us to be monitoring media
watching these things, going to
parties, important Hill Country
parties and learning and
documenting and possibly having
your co hosts throw you under
the bus
John C Dvorak: I want to know
what we've I think one of the
reasons why these donations are
so low is because we're not
playing the the Donate to no
agenda blob is that a cute
little jingle
Adam Curry: Do you think that's
what it is?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we haven't
played it for months.
Unknown: Donate to and no agenda
they give us as we get her we
donate to no agenda is a show
that's really unique donate to
the no agenda. This the John
Adams be donate to a no agenda.
Science is turning into a
clique.
Adam Curry: I love how you
categorize the ISIS anthem as
cute. That's always very nice.
One of the great talents that we
take advantage of and we're so
lucky to have is our artists who
always are working during the
live stream to come up with
something relevant for the show.
And post that to no agenda art
generator.com so that we can use
it right after the show in our
lickety split fast post
production and networks did it
again bringing us the artwork
for episode 1560 We titled that
one connectionism and he brought
us the farm of bots and you can
you can actually read along
right now you can you can go to
no agenda Art Generator comm see
all the different pieces of art
that were there that we chose
from or also in that new podcast
app, just go look at your screen
right now. You'll probably see
some of these pieces of art
flying by us with Dred Scott
does for us. So Netzwerk did the
pharma bot, which we liked, it
was a good piece we did look at
other things. And then I think I
feel like we need to make a car
Amen because some of the artists
are just getting off track. I
mean, you're more of an expert
than I am
John C Dvorak: about that. But
you know, we didn't there wasn't
a lot to choose from on this one
there was, you know, crazy art.
A lot of evergreen out there
something you liked. I think I'm
the one to push the farm about
peace you did?
Adam Curry: Well, we had the you
will obey cigarettes, which is
now I didn't push that. I don't
know if I pushed anything.
John C Dvorak: No, I think you
were no you were like, just in
the dumps about the whole thing.
You thought everything's gone.
Adam Curry: I was in the dumps?
That's correct. Well, what I was
in the dumps about was there's
so much AI generated stuff from
comics reblog he just spammed it
with AI art that's what that's
what put me in the dumps. All
the furry stuff. You know, you
know? Does have the feeling that
comic strip blogger may be a
furry
John C Dvorak: Well, that's an
interesting thesis. You're
right. He has pro furry with the
little wolf I thought was a cute
one. The Pro furry podcast Yeah,
they said pro furry podcast
again. Yeah, and then he did a
threat third piece and said pro
free podcasts with some hottie
which kind of free you see off
and then I think he
Adam Curry: was really delighted
because I I said on the show I
said we're a pro free podcast,
which we are with it doesn't
mean that we're going to choose
Free artery art, but I think
comics ship blogger may be a
fairy. And I'd like to know if
you're a fairy. What kind of
fairy Are you?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I never
know. That's an interesting
thesis
Adam Curry: because he's never
done this much art for one
topic. No, he usually does buts
Well, he's gone from buds defer
who had
John C Dvorak: to assume that
his furry character has an
exposed but
Adam Curry: what kind of fairy
Are you that's it that's our
only question. That's the
question. Does your any comments
about any of this art anything
that
John C Dvorak: No, there wasn't
really there's a lot of stuff
that is too small. The cigarette
butt was a good example.
couldn't read it.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Lots of robots
and
John C Dvorak: a couple of
subverting good capitalist
agendas drone drones again again
don't quite get the bottle of
money or I'm not sure what I
beyond me as somebody just
posted the comments your blogger
just posted a picture of Taylor
Swift
Adam Curry: yeah just with like
hypnotic eyes
John C Dvorak: not really know.
And then there's one piece down
here from Chad Mar but which is
a podcasting 2.0 rework this is
an old piece from God knows when
that's been reposted.
Adam Curry: Which piece was to
one right below.
John C Dvorak: Taylor Swift
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
It was the it's a he does say
reworked so yeah, it was just
like
John C Dvorak: yeah, it was I
think this selection I did like
to Texas peaches pieces.
Adam Curry: What did we I don't
remember you pushing to it I
John C Dvorak: mentioned to
peach but it was it wasn't going
to happen. wasn't wasn't that
good? I think I was way in I was
in on the farmer but from the
get
Adam Curry: go a lot of 30
threes. On what was it all this
30 threes on the is that for
Ashlynn speed. Oh, well, this
does bring me to the hidden
donation clip. Which people who
skip the donation segment.
Foolishly. They will never hear
this. Let me see when we've
dropped down about 200 200
trolls have left. And you know
some people just skip over it.
Would you like to hear the
hidden donation clip for today,
John? Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: haven't heard one
from you for a while. First, I
Adam Curry: need to ask the
troll room. Do we have a winner
yet? In today's Formula One
race. I do know that the Flying
Dutchman MCSE for Stoppa once
again, was on pole position. So
I have no idea but this this
number 33 in racing has just
gone crazy. Fernando Alonso
John C Dvorak: by the way,
you've been clearing your throat
a lot. Yeah, that's
Adam Curry: a problem.
John C Dvorak: What's
interesting is exactly the same
throat clearing. Bullshit. It's
exactly the same as the clip.
No, so every time I hear it, I'm
thinking you're you brought the
clip up and you're gonna play
the clip.
Adam Curry: Let's see. I can I
can rippled. Let's see how it
goes. I'll clear my throat the
way I've been clearing it then
because I just have some stuff
on my throat and I'm sorry, I
should hit the cough on
bullshit. Not much better. It's
not as deep. No. And I
apologize. I should be hitting
the eight, but it's when I'm
talking. And I think I have had
to hit the mute button a couple
of times. I apologize. Thanks
for calling me out. So here it
is. This is the clip about
Formula One driver Fernando
Alonso. For some reason he's the
favorite for these two numbnuts
doing this report from the pits.
Even though we all know the true
number 33 Winner is always going
to be the Flying Dutchman.
Unknown: Of course, Fernando
Alonso is searching for his 33rd
when he is in garage number 33.
He has pit box number therefore
33 This is also his 33rd helmet
design. And this is the best one
yet. I'm gonna have to look down
for this. I'm gonna have to read
these ones out. This is from Joe
credit, sir producer Joe. This
is the 1086 86 world
championship events. If Fernando
Alonso races here, it will be
his 300 and 62nd start, which
equals 33% 1/3. Exactly. Of all
World Championships
especially 33.333. Because it's
exactly.
And I will take it all right.
That's incredible. But the stars
are aligning. Are they not? So
his 33rd? When but when does
Formula One follow a script?
When does Formula One follow?
The stars?
Adam Curry: Yeah, the dead
because number 33 One wasn't
just wasn't that guy. You're not
interesting?
John C Dvorak: I found that to
be peculiar.
Adam Curry: Yes. And why were
they making such a big deal of
it?
John C Dvorak: No. Don't get
people to donate to the show.
Adam Curry: That's usually what
you should do. When you see a 33
then you know it's time to
donate 33 That's the magic. The
magic number. And let us thank
our executive producers for
episode 1561 1561 of these
beautiful episodes done for you.

pleasure that we do this. Thank

your points but I'm not ready to

And he goes on about how great
Tasmania is. John talking about
Lexus being a being great on a
recent episode has prompted me
to tell you my Lexus reliability
story I first bought a Lexus

kilometers in it since then and
still own it today. It's
reliable literally nothing has

should bring it back because he
loved you throwing your index
cards, which I forgot that was
that was your thing. You would
throw index remember that you
would throw index cards.
John C Dvorak: Well, that stems
from it stems from people I've
seen do it on TV, but David
Letterman being one of the
Letterman throws cards, but I
actually started doing that.
When I was a host on CNET
Central and I would do the game.
The game show reviews with Gina
