Adam Curry: September 14 2023
This is your ward winning
combination media assassination
episode 1590. This is no agenda
fossilized, mummified and
broadcasting live from the heart
of the Texas hill country here
in number six in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry
John C Dvorak: and from Northern
Silicon Valley where we're all
wondering, What did burrata
cheese become a thing? I'm Jesse
to our x
Adam Curry: scale. Well, I
happen to be a big fan of
burrata. The burrata issue would
be oh, this has been around
forever. Italy. In everywhere.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah.
Italy, et cetera.
Adam Curry: burrata cheese.
Yeah. Is this this has been
everywhere.
John C Dvorak: Italy.
Everywhere.
Adam Curry: Italy, in Holland
and France, Spain, Spain. Spain
has always had
John C Dvorak: never heard of it
till two years ago.
Adam Curry: You'd never heard of
burrata until two years ago, you
John C. Dvorak. wine connoisseur
and foodie to the stars. Yeah.
Wow.
John C Dvorak: is proud of me
and may have passed my way. But
as that never was the thing,
whether using it left and right
on every cooking show on TV.
Adam Curry: Oh, I see. You watch
some television. Don't do that.
It's not good for your health.
You should not. Oh, on cooking
show. So okay. I gotcha.
John C Dvorak: I gotcha. Well,
the other one that reminds me of
nobody took off like a rocket.
Yes. Smoked paprika.
Adam Curry: No, no. What's the
other one? No, there's some
John C Dvorak: no smoke. Paprika
became a big thing. Yeah. And I
know exactly where it came from.
Okay, that one I did catch the
Genesis. All right. Well, it's
been around for smoked paprika
is not a new invention. But
again, it became a thing.
Rachael Ray.
Adam Curry: Okay, cooking shows
in a cooking show popular right.
It's like cooking shows like
podcasts. Whatever we do on our
podcast here, shows up on talker
it shows up all over the place.
I mean, everyone who else was
telling me like they're always
taking our stuff. That's how
John C Dvorak: they are. That's
what you were leaders were we
aren't leaders
Unknown: just trash. We
Adam Curry: That's right,
everybody is if your world
wasn't crazy enough if you
weren't spun up in this nutty
world, of course we've got to
distract you and get you all
jacked up about this.
Unknown: Well, tomorrow, NASA is
set to release the findings of a
heavily anticipated report on
unidentified anomalous phenomena
also known as UAPs. Now it comes
as Mexico holds its first ever
hearing on UFOs. With scientists
putting on display what they
claim are the remains of two
extra terrestrials news nations
Joe Khalil joins us live with
these developments.
Adam Curry: I just love that
news nation Leads Leads
everything this is the same news
nation that had the so called
whistleblower for an exclusive
interview news nation that has
they found their niche, their
niches knishes bullcrap stories
about aliens they really nailed
it this time.
John C Dvorak: I have a clip. So
you came from it came from
elsewhere. This actually came
from NTD so I was given a little
more credit.
Adam Curry: Oh, not just not
just credit, we'll give him a
jingle.
John C Dvorak: This is in the
the the actual aliens Mexico
story,
Unknown: Mexico could become the
first country to speak about the
presence of aliens on Earth and
a government document. Lawmakers
considered evidence today
including small corpses that one
researcher calls non human.
According to organizers these
two mummified stuffed bodies
were recovered in 2017. In Peru,
they are reportedly 718 100
years old, respectively, with
only three fingers on each hand
and elongated heads to lead
researchers to the DNA testing
shows many differences from
humans. He sees them as clear
evidence of aliens, but has
previously been refuted by other
scientists for some of his
related stances. This all
happened at Mexico's first
public congressional hearing on
the proposed aerial space
protection law.
Adam Curry: Oh, so they also
have a military industrial
complex that needs money. That's
that's what this was about when
we'd had the hearings a couple
of weeks ago. Oh, we need we
need money in case the aliens
come. So they have that too.
Right at the right at the end.
They said it. Yeah, that's
John C Dvorak: what it is here
to get my alien space force.
They came 17,000 years ago.
They'll be here any minute. They
should send
Adam Curry: the DNA to 23andme
see how many politicians are
related to it because it
Unknown: happened at Mexico.
Public congressional hearing on
the opposed aerospace protection
law,
Adam Curry: aerospace protection
law money that you know, Ukraine
is petering out. We haven't
gotten Taiwan going yet. Let's
get some aliens in there. We can
get some space technology going
people, satellites this is I
mean, does anyone believe this
at this point? I mean, I think I
think the shark has been jumped
with this one to coin a phrase.
John C Dvorak: Did you see the
picture going around?
Adam Curry: And he had one of
Dianne Feinstein yeah
John C Dvorak: I saw that I
couldn't stop laughing.
Adam Curry: The other one is
actually younger than Dianne
Feinstein so well, it's too bad
because well maybe it was
purposeful but it certainly
covers up the Apple event. Man I
can't believe I watched it but I
did and I
John C Dvorak: did I would do
enough to avoid it.
Adam Curry: I have a report. I
have a quick boots on the ground
report. I watched the Apple
event of the new iPhone and the
new the boot. I'm the Bucha I'm
the boot I watched it I watched
watch the whole thing. So first
of all, just so you know, John,
everything every single thing is
gorgeous. This is the key word
you got to use with iPhone now.
John C Dvorak: It's gorgeous.
Just an iPhone.
Adam Curry: It's gorgeous. It's
a watch it's gorgeous. So they
start this thing off with the
Apple Watch. I'm not going to
play into clips or anything but
they started off with eight
testimonials of people who
almost died I almost died
because a heart attack almost
died because I had AFib almost
died because I had low blood
pressure almost died because I
was hiking and I was stuck
almost died because I was in a
crash. And I was unconscious
less interesting almost died
because of my Eevee ran out of
battery on a Texas as a highway.
But the Apple Watch saved me.
That's that's how they started
the whole thing off.
John C Dvorak: That's a good
bit.
Adam Curry: It's like they're
telling you without this you
could be dead. With without the
Apple Watch, you might be not a
single.
John C Dvorak: I've done a
pretty good job of convincing
people to have to carry a phone
with them all the time.
Adam Curry: Well, now if you get
the cellular Apple watching on
your phone, it's got everything
in there. Oh yeah, you you can
just double tap with your
fingers and you don't even have
to touch the phone anymore
because now it's tracking your
body movements is fantastic. I
have had a non charging watch
for 34 years is gorgeous. And it
works just great. It has never
saved my life that I know of.
But
John C Dvorak: they have it
could probably stop a bullet the
Apple Watch probably can't
Adam Curry: something else I
noticed 90% of all men that work
at Apple are bow legged. This is
very, very interesting
phenomena. It starts with Tim
Cook he's bow legged. Half of
these guys no more 90% of these
guys are bow legged and the
women want men very wearing very
unattractive skirts with with
you know gym shoes runners tight
if we were producing this it
would be very
John C Dvorak: different life
shirt never noticed the bow
legged thing now as you pointed
out, we won't be able to take my
eyes away from
Adam Curry: it. They're all bow
legged. Now location on your
iPhone is even more precise.
John C Dvorak: You wonder what
they're straddling so much that
they got bow legged Hey
Adam Curry: yo. So now when
you're looking for your friends
in the Farmers Market, which is
hilarious you're there in the
Farmers Market Hey Do they have
any apples Hold on let me turn
on noise canceling What do you
have any apples Of course they
have apples it's the farmers
market here I'll drop a pin come
find me precision finding now
for even better drone targeting.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, and
stalking. And then
Adam Curry: they had this whole
Mother Nature skit,
John C Dvorak: which you did
watch the whole thing.
Adam Curry: Oh yeah. Did you see
that thing?
John C Dvorak: I didn't see any
of it I avoided it. I knew that
the products were there's
nothing new what's the point?
Adam Curry: Yeah, they had a
October via Spencer not a cheap
get for this. Played Mother
Nature in the most woke thing
I've ever seen where Apple is
gonna get rid of all carbon
everywhere. Everything we do
there's no carbon. Any I was it
was a sharp jump just to totally
just like the aliens. So sorry,
there's still a $1,200 phone.
Yay. Sir, was very, very key.
Exactly. That's pretty much blow
your nose on it. It was just
just nuts. And a lot of
interesting happens interesting
things happening in the world
outside of you know, 10,000
people dying in Libya because of
Danly damage. draining 20 dams
breaking it, which
John C Dvorak: means it will be
30
Adam Curry: I mean climate
change. That's here. I got a
clip here from
John C Dvorak: two dams bust
Yeah, nobody's climate change.
Unknown: The mayor of a flood
ravaged city along the
Mediterranean Sea and Libya said
today 18 to 20,000 people could
be dead in the wake of Monday's
historic floods. drone video
shows the widespread damage
after two major dams collapse
when 16 inches of rain drenched
parts of the region on Sunday,
entire neighborhoods were
destroyed, leaving 10s of 1000s
without homes.
Adam Curry: Yeah, this didn't
include the climate change
moniker because that did show up
pretty much everywhere else. But
it's dams and when when we
learned that dams need to be
maintained, dams dikes got to
maintain them. Now it's like
they're just doing it to get
climate change. I don't think
anyone cares about people
anymore. Their own energy
secretary was the new theory for
a while. Yeah, my own it. People
were very expendable, or as they
would say fungible, people are
fungible. Even though this
happened in July, for some
reason now. Our energy secretary
Granholm with the saucers on the
side of her head, those huge
ears she has she and she's been
on a road trip. an Eevee road
trip and and she ran it. It's
like I don't know exactly what
popped this story or why it
happened. But here's the gist of
it.
Unknown: All right. Get a lot of
this one Energy Secretary
Jennifer Granholm has electric
vehicle road trip
Adam Curry: I love New Energy
Secretary she's been there for a
bit running into trouble
Unknown: while trying to tout
the administration's green push
Fox businesses. Great travel
joins us live so Grady this got
so bad that they had to call the
police is that right?
That's right, Brian, a staffer
apparently tried to hold the
only available electric vehicle
charger for the Energy Secretary
by parking a gas powered vehicle
in the spot that is According to
NPR, a couple with a baby wanted
to use the same charger. So the
reporter who was tagging along
on the trip says the young
family called the cops on the
staffer. The staffer wasn't
breaking any laws, though. So
nothing came of that call to
police. But Secretary grant
Holmes road trip from North
Carolina to Tennessee back in
June highlights just how
difficult it is to find the
electric vehicle charging
stations and to drive EVs long
distance.
Adam Curry: I think it's
actually a planted story. And
you think no but I mean a plant
is story to someone who's going
to come up with some plan some
Bill has to be passed. I think
the alien story interrupted it.
You know that we need
John C Dvorak: to do it later.
Biden may be due for I said in
the newsletter, Biden is due
overdue for a speech where he's
they jack him up because he
hasn't been given the juice for
probably a month, maybe longer.
And so he staggered around the
world, you know, very, very,
barely able to talk and he keeps
pushing the idea of you know,
500,000 charging stations. Yeah.
So maybe it's got something to
do with that. I do it. I did get
a clip of somebody put together
I would like to make this a
longer clip. And I think I can
do it. Of Biden when he is
jacked up when they give them to
Adam Curry: Are you are you
moving away from climate change?
All of a sudden, you're
hijacking my segment?
John C Dvorak: No, let's do it's
a better word for the night
jacket. What was I used in SERP?
No, I forgot
Adam Curry: clip crash. It was
something like that. I'll get
you to Biden in a moment. The
most uninteresting man in the
world did not win. He's jacked
up. I think Queen Ursula is more
is more interesting. But
John C Dvorak: back to climate
change. Yes. Back to climate
change.
Adam Curry: We'll get back to
I'll swing it. I'll swing it to
you and the most uninteresting
man in the world. After we get
to the Queen.
John C Dvorak: I have no clips
on climate change.
Adam Curry: I only have to.
Here's Queen Ursula on I'm
sorry, I should say she did the
state of oh, that's how I should
have transitioned. Speaking of
Biden State of the Union. Here's
Queen Ursula state of the
European Union, a little clip
about climate change.
Unknown: Honourable Members.
Four years ago, the European
Green Deal was our answer to the
call of history. And this
summer, the hottest ever on
record in Europe was a stark
reminder of that. Greece and
Spain was struck by ravaging
wildfires. And were hit again
only a few weeks later by
devastating floods,
Adam Curry: devastating floods.
And we saw
Unknown: the chaos and carnage
of extreme weather, from
Slovenia to Bulgaria and right
across our union. This is the
reality of a boiling planet.
John C Dvorak: She lays
Adam Curry: the reality. Don't
you dare speak against Queen
Ursula. This is the reality she
John C Dvorak: is more boring
than Biden. I will say a boiling
planet.
Unknown: European Green Deal was
born out of this necessity to
protect our planet. But it was
also designed as an opportunity
to preserve our future
prosperity. We started this
mandate by setting long term
perspective, with the climate
law and the climate goals. We
shifted the climate agenda to
being an economic one. And this
has given clear sense of
direction for investment and
innovation. And we have already
seen this growth strategy
delivering in the short term.
Europe's industry is showing
every single day that it is
ready to power this transition,
it's ready proving that
modernization and
decarbonisation can go hand in
hand. In the last five years,
the number of clean steel
factories in the European Union
has grown from zero to 38. We're
now attracting more investment
in clean hydrogen, then the
United States and China
together.
Adam Curry: Okay, so this is
where I need your expertise
because when she says, we went
from zero to 38, clean steel
factories, clean steel, and then
right after that, she says we're
more advanced with clean hydro
gene than America and China put
together I asked you are they
making steel with hydro gene
now? What is clear heard of such
a thing? What is clean steel?
Well, I have an answer.
John C Dvorak: Well, then why
are you asking me to
Adam Curry: see if you had an
answer? Because you've never
heard of such a thing and
correct because it's bull crap.
Here's how clean steel is made
you think somehow, they've taken
hydrogen, I'm sorry, clean
hydrogen, and they could make it
all hot enough to produce steel.
No, no. producing clean steel
begins in the scrap yard. Scrap
with limited amounts of certain
elements such as copper, tin,
sulfur and phosphorus will yield
cleaner Steel's the alloys used
in clean steel production also
need tightly tight quality
controls regarding the chemistry
and residual elements. So
they're taking scrap steel and
then putting it melt melting it
into new steel and calling it
clean
John C Dvorak: so the scrap is
basically scrap iron recycled
James cycle
Adam Curry: Yes. recycled scrap
iron. Yeah, I don't think I want
to go across a bridge that is
made of this clean steel
John C Dvorak: should be fine.
Adam Curry: It should be fine.
John C Dvorak: It's just like
play it up that way we're so
we've given up we don't make
steel anymore. We now have to
this is an excuse. And that what
what are the 38 facilities? Are
they just scrap yard in their
backyards? smelter I mean,
what's going on here? In the
40s? Exactly
Adam Curry: the great the Great
Leap Forward. Exactly. People
making steel in their in their
yards. It could be scrap yard
scrap metal and steel. Yeah,
could be. All right. Here's
where we're where we are
mistaken. There's so much money
in climate change.
John C Dvorak: But not mistaken.
We've known this all along?
Well, we're mistaken by doing
this podcast instead of Oh,
yeah, we should do a climate
change podcast standard, right,
instead of producing
Adam Curry: wonderful 20 minute
videos of which I'm going to
play a minute, because here's
where the big money is baby.
Unknown: According to the latest
IPCC report, we are past the
point of no return for 1.5
degrees Celsius. And we're need
to make rapid fundamental
changes to our society this
decade to stop it going any
further than that.
Adam Curry: Now, just remember,
you and I could do a much better
job producing this video but
wait for it.
Unknown: This will be hard.
There's no way we as a species
will be able to achieve this
hard path unless we can agree on
the facts that underpin it
though. Without the broader
context of agreed upon data, it
will forever be perfectly
possible to arrive at a wide
range of conclusions and
different paths we should take.
That is why when it comes to any
discussion, context is so
important. By looking at the
pattern of our planet's history,
we see that the current uptick
in global temperatures obviously
an induced event that doesn't
match already existing patterns,
and it perfectly coincides with
human activity. debate what you
want to do with that information
and the best path to take in
light of it. But these are the
facts set in ice and the bones
of organisms long dead. They
will broke no argument, dealing
with all the crises that the
world seems to throw at you
daily can get It's a little
overwhelming. Sometimes it's
important to take care of
yourself. That's why today's
video is in partnership with
better help. Mental health is a
cause that is deeply important
to me.
Adam Curry: So better help paid
for a 20 minute video to scare
people. And then to say, if
you're scared, use BetterHelp
because we can help you get over
this frightened anxiety that you
have because of climate change.
Do you see? Do you see the
mistake we're making? Oh, we've
known this forever. But I mean,
this is genius.
John C Dvorak: Do it. It's
corrupt. We can't bring
ourselves to being that corrupt.
That's just nothing. That was
just pure corruption. Of course.
Adam Curry: It's corruption.
BetterHelp the number one
advertiser last month on
podcasts? I'll have you no, no.
Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's a
fact. Yes, they but and the only
90 Where did that number come
from?
Adam Curry: From? Sounds
profitable? This is these are
numbers. These are this is from
the industry. I pay attention to
the podcast industrial complex.
We I would hope so. But here's
the thing. $9 million they spent
in one month. I still don't see
how that how the industry is 2
billion. Okay, maybe it's me.
Yeah, better health spent $9
million on podcasts. Wait, we
could we could take their ads.
Hey, John, are you feeling a
little anxious? Because of all
this climate change or the
nervous wreck? Maybe we should
talk to our better health
doctor. No, we can't pull it
off. Anyway, back to Joe Biden.
John C Dvorak: Yes, looking at
this or I'm sorry, I was looking
at some article about Walter
Isaacson where they discuss he
did the musk bio.
Adam Curry: You I have I have
clips. Oh, unless I just
John C Dvorak: had to play the
read the headline from the
Intelligencer, the journalist in
the billionaire? What did an old
establishment guy like Walter
Isaacson learn writing Elon
Musk's biography and this is a
plant his story that promotes
the book all
Adam Curry: planted. Now,
John C Dvorak: when did Walter
Isaacson become an old
establishment guy?
Adam Curry: Isn't he the epitome
of access journalism? Like I
will write a Fanta out you'll
you'll you'll come off as a as a
hardcore dude. But everyone will
love you beautiful picture on
the cover. Don't worry about
it's all good. Let me embed with
you.
John C Dvorak: Isn't that how it
works? That is an element.
Adam Curry: Do you want to hear
the three quick clips I have
from Walter Isaacson and with
Savannah Guthrie about either
the biography
John C Dvorak: Absolutely. I
think that's got to be just
gotta go right up front. Okay,
Adam Curry: well, he's
identified different modes, that
Elon has different modes. You
know, like, there's grumpy John
happy John. There's nobody Adam.
There's what other modes do I
have?
John C Dvorak: I will mention
them.
Unknown: And the lawn can turn
dark too and get very tough on
people.
Do you see that as well? Yeah,
well,
you sometimes see him he has
many personalities. First time
you're around a really you know
half joking guy or a guy playing
you know, engineering mode in
which time to goes into it.
Claire boo che his occasional
girlfriend known as Grimes calls
demon mode demon mode, and
that's when it gets dark.
Can you give some examples?
Sometime sometimes
Adam Curry: weather needs some
examples. I'm so excited about
Elon Musk. I mean, I've been
doing Grimes you could do me
Unknown: dinner or had a meeting
or walking on a factory line.
You can see the clouds gathering
I remember for 2030 times I'll
give you one which is in South
Texas at the tip of South Texas
is Boca Chica. We has a launch
pad for starship and one Friday
night at around 10pm he sort of
joking about everything. And
then he sees that only two
people working at the pack is
10pm on a Friday night. But you
can see the dark and he just
explodes and for about an hour.
He's berating people, and then
he orders up what he calls a
surge. He wants 200 people there
by the next day. So they start
working. So this tension for
drama comes out of the childhood
to
Adam Curry: oh, it comes out of
his Isaac's and apparently not
working for better health. It's
Yes, it's from his youth is
childhood. The demon mode. He
has another mode is called manic
mode.
Unknown: There are occasions in
the book where you refer to Musk
as being in manic mode. I mean
manic that is a term of art and
mental health.
Adam Curry: I mean, another
better help commercial.
Unknown: Are you suggesting or
in any way? Do you question
whether he struggles with mental
illness? Oh, yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Let me ask you
a question, John. How come
Savannah Guthrie is talking
about what she just said. You
know, this is clearly mental
health. Does she ever say that
about I don't know, our
President
Unknown: talking about in the
book he talks about he talks
about he's you know, hasn't been
officially diagnosed. He says,
we talked about bipolar, he
takes up a lot of prescription
medicines at
John C Dvorak: what hard stop
hard stop. He hasn't been
diagnosed,
Adam Curry: but he takes a lot
of prescription medicine.
John C Dvorak: I was impossible.
How is that possible?
Adam Curry: You gotta wonder,
you gotta wonder maybe maybe he
has ever been diagnosed,
John C Dvorak: but he's got a
lot of prescriptions that he
takes. That's
Adam Curry: right. That's right.
It's, by the way, manic mode is
a term of art.
John C Dvorak: I heard that too.
They would have stopped. There
Unknown: hasn't been a
Adam Curry: second. Yeah,
please.
John C Dvorak: When did Isaacson
have time to do this book? He
was rolling around together guy
still at the Aspen Institute.
He's in all these meetings. He's
like a spook. I mean, Where's
where's this? Where's the time?
Adam Curry: He had an outline?
Here's the outline. Wait,
John C Dvorak: before you do
that? I don't know if you
remember it, but I sure do. And
I don't know if we got a clip of
it. But he was on some talk show
about a year ago saying he lost
his editor that's at I forgot
who is working with those Simon
and Schuster Doubleday, one of
them. Some editor he worked with
all the time. Is that was his
his go to editor, which was the
go between editor I'm guessing
with whoever is doing a lot of
this research. And he's retired.
He's not going to write any more
books. It's what he said. Is
Adam Curry: this from 2017.
Maybe Could it be that long ago?
Unknown: It could be why did
Florence Florida
Adam Curry: that was his book on
Leonardo da Vinci? No, I don't I
don't know what
John C Dvorak: I don't know if I
if I but he did say this dead.
He was the editor was gone. That
was the end of him. And I just
made the assumption that that
was, you know, the some
mechanism that was in place that
allowed me to do these big
books, somehow was now missing
because of the editor. I don't
know there's another book by
like to know what happened. What
does Oh, wait, let me guess
Savannah asks, a pertinent
question along these lines.
Unknown: You know, hasn't been
officially diagnosed. He says
Elon available to me has been
talks about bipolar, he takes up
a lot of prescription medicines
that he can be variable in his
moods and Sarah Lyon does a
Jekyll and Hyde quality where he
will go into a dark, depressed
mood and say some things
sometimes things that his father
said to him. And then a few
hours later, he asked about it.
Things like he almost has no
memory.
Adam Curry: He has no memory of
his things his father said to
him, and then he has no memory
of it because it because he's
taking ketamine.
John C Dvorak: It's like the Joe
Biden at dinner, his dad's
stories, what it is, all of a
sudden, all these guys tell what
their father said, I'm gonna
start doing that in the podcast.
Adam Curry: No, you know, I
don't think you've ever talked
about your dad.
John C Dvorak: No, I never said
he didn't. You know, I can't
think of anything. He told me
that it would be pertinent to
the show or anything else for
that matter. Wow. Hey, get up.
Get up. It's late. You gotta go
to school. I remember my dad
telling me to get up. Or the
famous the dad putting the right
way to get kids up a wet cold
wash cloth on the face. That'll
get you up. Wow, no one. No,
that's child abuse.
Adam Curry: Can I write your
book? Can I embed with you and
write your book John has done I
went
John C Dvorak: that editor
Unknown: you know, for better or
for worse. Elan Musk is
incredibly influential and maybe
influential isn't even in the
word incredibly powerful. Some
people say is more powerful than
any government, including the US
government.
John C Dvorak: What was the
point of dropping that little
gem in there? It's bull crap.
Adam Curry: She wants a date
with him.
Unknown: We've seen in Ukraine
with the flick of a switch. He
can turn off the satellite
communication in effect a war
Adam Curry: not exactly what
happened to them.
John C Dvorak: That is a lie.
Adam Curry: Well, she only read
the you know, the New York Times
The
Unknown: only reason SpaceX is
the only way US astronauts get
to space anymore. He's
transforming the electric
John C Dvorak: fly. That's a
blatant lie.
Adam Curry: They're built you
know, I think you've noticed
that the media the M five M is
building a profile of musk part
of it is to promote this book.
Obviously, part of it is because
they they are corny for
billionaires. There's something
about money that attracts a
person like Savannah Guthrie, a
tech billionaire. You know it's
attractive to her. You can hear
it in everything she's saying
she's she's JD for him. It's
part of that. But I think it's
also building up to something.
There's something up and they're
building up to it. His chargers
Unknown: have a lot to do with
whether or not we make this
transition to.
Adam Curry: There you go. That
may be it, John, that may be the
reason why the change? Well, no
the charges that may be the
planted story for Granholm from
June that all of a sudden No,
the not enough.
Unknown: Yeah. Could be Yes
anymore. He's transforming the
electric car industry. His
chargers have a lot to do with
whether or not we make this
transition to electric energy.
And now on the eve of a
presidential election,
controlling Twitter a major
rhetoric and misinformation.
That's what
John C Dvorak: it is. So it's
information on Twitter. Yeah,
because he controls it
Unknown: knowing what you know
about him. Are you comfortable
that this singular man has that
kind of influence over our world
Adam Curry: this is this is
because Kara Swisher who used to
love Elon hates him so much. She
reruns old interviews during
Labor Day. Just show me that
this this is the old Elon, this
is what he used to be like. Now
he's just the horrible person.
John C Dvorak: Jacqueline Hyde
has a hatred toward Elon by the
press,
Adam Curry: in particular, all
because of Twitter.
John C Dvorak: And he hasn't
done anything at Twitter except
fire a bunch of, you know,
middle managers. He hasn't
changed anything over there when
I don't see my numbers changing
any which way. I see a lot of
other people that are more left
less on the right. They don't
see anything changing. And I ran
into a number of threads the
other day that were so left
leaning. And in fact it was like
the American socialist Democrats
have so many people on there
that they're loading up with
anti American memes and
everything in between. It's like
I this is this is unfounded,
this hatred.
Adam Curry: You know, one of our
producers of lawyer in Texas
sent me the Fifth Circuit
opinion about how the Biden
administration coerced and
threatened social media, which
is exactly what the Twitter
files were about. Not that not
that this is going to be
resolved anytime. But he did
highlight a few things for me,
which I think are
John C Dvorak: this is from the
fifth district Missouri case
you're talking about? Yeah. So
Adam Curry: this is the Fifth
Circuit, the Louisiana, Missouri
versus Biden,
John C Dvorak: I think is the
name of the case.
Adam Curry: The fifth circuit on
Friday, largely upheld in
Louisiana federal judge's order
blocking White House staffers
and some federal agencies from
working with social media
companies to combat
disinformation holding that some
federal officials likely quote
coerce social media platforms
into censoring certain content
in violation of the First
Amendment. Specifically, it said
the White House, the White
House, working with the Office
of the Surgeon General, coerce
the platform's to make their
moderation decisions by way of
intimidating messages and
threats of adverse consequences.
The White House and Surgeon
General also significantly
encouraged the platform's
decisions by commandeering their
decision making process, the FBI
and CDC appear to have engaged
in similar conduct. We do not
take our decision lightly. But
the US Supreme Court has rarely
been faced with a coordinated
campaign of this magnitude
orchestrated by a federal
official that federal officials
that jeopardized a functional
aspect of American life.
Therefore, the district court
was correct in its assessment,
but more importantly, officials
expressed and implicitly
threatened to retaliate if the
companies didn't take action.
And that alone should be enough
to find coercion. They made
Express threats, inflammatory
accusations, such as saying the
platform's were poisoning the
public and killing people. This
John C Dvorak: we know the
poisoning part's true.
Adam Curry: You're right. The
judge signed off on the
injunction, a rare and lengthy
order issued on the Fourth of
July Federal holiday in
particular, the judge said the
federal government's attempt to
suppress alleged disinformation,
particularly about the pandemic
and here it is, arguably
involves the most massive attack
on free speech in United States
history. This, you know, this
will go to Supreme Court or get
kicked back it'll go on for
years.
John C Dvorak: I don't ever make
it in.
Adam Curry: It's just, it's just
good to hear. You know,
obviously, this is not something
that Savannah Guthrie will
discuss. No, no, but it's your
but you know, it's like
disinformation. They don't have
the back door anymore. They're
no longer being promoted being
boosted on the platform. They
all left in a huff and I'm going
to Matt dime and then I'm acid
on they couldn't to quote tweet
me suck and they went to bed.
But what's, what's the other
thing? Blue? Blue Blue? Blue
Bird blue. Command what's out of
the thing called the new
Twitter? Drupal X? No, no,
that's the other Dorsey thing.
Yeah, blue sky. I'm going to
Blue Sky have you? Did I send
you an invite to blue sky?
You've got it.
John C Dvorak: No, you didn't. I
feel I feel slighted. It's the
trans mouse's
Adam Curry: social network. It's
amazing God I can imagine
amazing so and the threads I'm
going to be on threads This is
the place to be it's so much
better than x. So social media
is broken
John C Dvorak: and there's all
blue sky blue sky Yeah, I
thought I thought that we went
to going to gab or whatever
happened to gab
Adam Curry: Hello 2010
John C Dvorak: was the other one
there was another one it was
another one besides gab that was
a beginner get her get her get
her
Adam Curry: get her and what
else was there get
John C Dvorak: her as a couple
other ones CompuServe
Adam Curry: prodigy Orkut? Yeah,
Unknown: they miss information.
No parlor
Adam Curry: that's the one
parlor bar. But I call it true
social it's this is the thing is
broken. The she's the M five M
presstitutes know that
ultimately social media is
broken. Elon is he doesn't care
he's still notes community notes
and suppressing and you know
yaka Reno his CEO is like you
can have freedom of speech but
not freedom of reach. Yeah, it's
another word for shadow banning
Okay, we got it. And I get I get
no traction. My tweet if someone
doesn't retweet one of my tweets
it goes nowhere with my my
90,000 non blue check followers
so that's just what it is
John C Dvorak: this whole thing
there's nothing has changed it's
still a repeat same piece of
crap that it always was. But
Adam Curry: they don't have
their people in the Yeah, they
don't have their people getting
interested left and right and
trust and safety team and
John C Dvorak: I don't even want
to get into it. Well, then then
let's just
Adam Curry: continue with
subpoena playing
Unknown: here source of
information, rhetoric and
potentially misinformation,
knowing what you know about him.
Are you comfortable that this
singular man has that kind of
influence over our world?
Are you comfortable or overall?
I think it's not great that he
has so much power and you take
Starlink episode in Ukraine,
where he had actually geo fenced
off the Crimea, so they couldn't
do it. He had done it before
that night. And now he's
creating Star Shield and selling
it to the US military because he
talked to us government
officials he realizes why am I
in the middle of this war it
should be something government
officials do so he's sold star
link to the US government so
that the government can control
how it's done.
Adam Curry: Exactly. He's a
government shill that's it's
always the same
John C Dvorak: money is from
government is the government
somehow that he's made his Tesla
money by banking on the on the
financing and the kickbacks with
a call when you buy a car you
get a bribe credit for buying
electric yes tax
Adam Curry: credit. Yes.
John C Dvorak: Rebates one thing
after another so rebate, the
rebate so rebate government
money is government money when
he has solar city it was
government money. Yes. It's they
could barely make that work. He
almost went broke with Solar
City had to fold it into Tesla.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but you know,
SpaceX is it's all government
money, all government money. And
I was going, you know, we should
probably move right into this
because Elon was a part of the
well, the Titans
Unknown: Elon Musk Bill Gates
and Mark Zuckerberg are together
today in one room to discuss the
future of artificial
intelligence. Both the dangers
and the benefits. CBS Jolene
Kent reports. Lawmakers are
struggling to keep up with the
technology.
Adam Curry: Oh, because it's a
series of tubes That's
complicated.
Unknown: Today, a rare show of
force by tech tycoons on Capitol
Hill, tackling the growing
threat of artificial
intelligence to American jobs,
safety and according to Elon
Musk, very existence.
This meeting breakout on history
has been very important for the
future of civilization.
You can ask Mark Zuckerberg,
Bill Gates and other top CEOs
and that behind closed doors
with a bipartisan group of
senators facing the reality that
if no action is taken, AI is
expected to eliminate or disrupt
300 million jobs worldwide. Musk
the richest man in the world
says he told senators he's in
favor of having a specific
regulator for AI to work
for us to have a referee I think
the call sequences of AI going
wrong are severe. So we have to
be proactive rather than
reactive,
sufficiently ready to regulate
the sequence of events will not
be jumping in at the deep end
and and making rules.
Another top priority today is
managing AI rapid development.
Can Americans trust open AI to
make AI safe?
I think trust but verify. I
think it's really important that
the government does put a
sensible policy in
Adam Curry: place, trust but
verify along
Unknown: with that safety.
Senators told me another major
focus was the case against
China. They want us tech
companies to set the global
standards before China does. But
lawmakers also want the tech
companies to develop their AI
responsibly.
Adam Curry: I'm telling you that
Elon Musk is going to build
something he's going to sell it
to the government that'll be the
regulator or be the approved AI
or it's, this is all in it's all
bull bull bull.
John C Dvorak: Well, a couple of
things. One, why I have three
clips on this, this tech meeting
on a I these are from a New Tang
Dynasty. So there's probably
more objective. But the thing
is, why was every quote from
Elon Musk. And the reason I
asked that is because everybody
was there. It wasn't the way
they like to say it. It was
always gates, Musk and
Zuckerberg
Adam Curry: can answer that
question. No, we play a little
bit of this TRT clip and it
tells you why
Unknown: America's technology
Titans was summoned to a forum
with US lawmakers in Washington
to discuss how to make AI safe.
At the meeting from which the
media were excluded, the
participants reached there
Adam Curry: was an it was a no
media meeting. So the mosque was
the only one who who talked to
the press. All the other guys
were way too important. That's
why
John C Dvorak: well, I'm back to
the thesis because Shar was
there.
Adam Curry: Gates.
John C Dvorak: Well didn't know
they already they said they made
a point of saying Zuckerberg
gates and musk but everybody was
there. There was that day Google
guy was there. The head of Apple
was there. Everybody was there.
And any one of them could have
been gone outside and talk to
the press. But they just glom on
to Musk Musk is like the guy and
I think ism and musk throws
himself into it. I think he
seeks it. He reminds me of Adam
Osborne during the heyday of
Osborne computers take us back.
Osborne once said to his staff
that if anyone from the media
calls me I'm taking the call
right stop everything he was so
into being in front and the
front guys got rushed in front
of the rush out there to be
interviewed as this is when Musk
is the Musk is doing this
himself.
Adam Curry: Yes, yes. He started
the whole the whole anger thing
it came from him he's the
Genesis when he got kicked out
of his own organization open a
eyes like this is dangerous when
you don't have Congress it was
we gotta have rules. You gotta
have a referee. We have to trust
but verify.
John C Dvorak: Musk is wagging
the dog. So let's let's play
tech meeting on AI one. This is
a little more elaborate
Unknown: and unprecedented
meeting on Capitol Hill today,
as tech tycoons like Elon Musk
and Mark Zuckerberg huddle with
senators huddled entities. Iris
Tao joins us live from
Washington, DC. Good evening,
Iris. What lawmakers tell us
about this closed door meeting
Good evening to you. So today's
meeting lasted a whole day
behind closed doors. And
senators, including leading
senators like Senator Majority
Leader Chuck Schumer, and came
out to talk to us right after it
ended, saying that he talked
about variety of issues,
including how to increase
transparency in the AI industry
and how to mitigate risk
associated with some AI
techniques such as deep fake and
what's known as watermarking.
And how such techniques could be
used to influence things like
elections.
Adam Curry: This is why Elon is
talking because Elon runs
elections Don't you know that
he's been the most important and
most powerful man in the world.
John C Dvorak: He just cut it
off at that spot because she's
just throwing terms out there.
And whatever Schumer Schumer
doesn't none of these
congressmen have a clue. They
don't know what an algorithm is
that you barely can turn on a
computer or cemetery,
Adam Curry: if I may, when it
comes to technology reporting,
technology reporting. The day
you walked out of the twit
studio for the last time.
John C Dvorak: There's some
truth to that. Yeah. So so she
says watermark Getting
watermarking or watermarking.
That's going to influence
selection. Yes, that's right.
Adam Curry: Wait, that would be
quantum watermarks. Oh, yeah.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, with a
quantum dot. Right. And that way
you can keep track of the
ballots
Adam Curry: from space.
Unknown: Oh, here we go. And
Schumer also told us that today
the main theme is really how to,
through taking bipartisan
actions on regulating AI how to
ensure that American public can
enjoy the benefits with
associated with AI but also
risks associated with this fast
evolving technology. The
Adam Curry: benefits Oh, I can
create a Drake song.
Unknown: Of course, Today's
meeting was so significant
because it really drew together
all the biggest names in this
industry, including Elon Musk,
Mark Zuckerberg, as well as Bill
Gates. And today Elon Musk in
particular, told the public that
Today's meeting was historic. He
also warned about dangers with
of, of AI, watch.
The consequences of AI going
wrong are severe. So we have to
be proactive rather than
reactive. But that there's some
chance that is above zero, the
AI will feel I think it's low.
But at this chance,
Adam Curry: Ah, okay. It's so
bad. And you know, we should
start our own mental health app.
Because the the ladies and some
gentlemen of Hill Country Maga
country are so spun up over the
idea that AI is already today.
Built your man to your mask
bumping like crazy, is
John C Dvorak: basically bumped
at this time. Okay, I'm gonna
tell you what happens. Exactly.
So she can keep bringing it up
Adam Curry: because we it sounds
like this during the whole show.
John C Dvorak: No. Yes. And so I
put my coffee cup down. And then
when I read withdrew my arm, I
have this this long thing and I
banged into the whole structure
of the microphone.
Adam Curry: Okay, then you're,
you're forgiven. So the ladies
and gentlemen of Magha nation
are so terrified of AI, they
have been spun up to actually
believe that AI they're already
AI twins of each individual in
the world. And these are your
Yeah, and there's even a
documentary that one come from
there's some documentary coming
out that I have to say, I think
it's related to Laura Logan.
She's very good at that spinning
people up. She's also a good
journalist. But the whole idea
John C Dvorak: is I like the
idea of AI twins AI twins. And
they already exist again to do
this show.
Adam Curry: That that's the
whole that's it and then
eventually will just be their
battery. You know that that's
how it all ends is like, you
know, there'll be you'll have a
computer's going to take over
and you hear Musk Well, there's
a better than zero chance that
AI will destroy the world. Come
on. Come on musket where
John C Dvorak: it Yeah, lay
didn't know how that works.
Adam Curry: AI is more powerful
than climate change. Okay,
John C Dvorak: that's the
question to ask him. That's what
these people should do when they
got him because he's out there
asking answering questions. You
think that we're gonna get
killed by climate change? Or AI
first?
Adam Curry: Yeah, who's gonna
win? Who's the first?
John C Dvorak: Who's gonna be
the who's gonna? Who's gonna
kill us the most? So several
Chinese
Adam Curry: want to get the
world the Chinese clearly
because, you know, there's that
whole element. I think there's
there's an element the other
guys are coming in saying, Well,
I you know, China, China, China,
China, China, China. Yeah, give
us some money.
Unknown: So several senators
told us that they really
appreciate this rare opportunity
to directly listen to these
leaders of the AI industry can
learn more about this. But also
there are some critics of
today's meeting, including
Democratic Senator Elizabeth
Warren, who told me that she did
not understand why today's
meeting was, was held behind
closed doors. But still
senators, including Chuck
Schumer told me that they think
today's meeting was very
productive, and that it could
help the US in this competition
with China Watch.
And the fact that we can bring
everybody together and fund with
REG legislation that would move
things forward on both sides
will help us significantly
there's not a world in which
China like the government of
China is
trying very hard. But the
leadership in AI is in the
United States of America.
Adam Curry: I couldn't
understand anything at the end
there. What was that what
John C Dvorak: I had, that's
where I cut it off and kept
going. Yeah, a couple of things.
Warren is right. Why was this a
private closed door meeting?
Adam Curry: Because it was they
were divvying something up.
John C Dvorak: That's exactly
right. There's some scam going
on. So a money making scam and
they didn't want the public to
know about it. This wasn't about
AI as much as it was. Exactly
what you said divvying up
something.
Adam Curry: Yep. Let me there's
no
John C Dvorak: reason for this
to be a closed hearing. It's not
public. It's not national
security. There's nothing about
this that says it should be a
closed hearing Elizabeth Warren
nailed it.
Adam Curry: Let's listen to this
TRT report that may find a
couple more interesting little
tidbits in it.
Unknown: America's technology
Titans was summoned to a forum
with US lawmakers in Washington
to discuss how to make AI safe
Adam Curry: we need something
like that technology Titans
John C Dvorak: how to make it
profitable technology Titans,
Adam Curry: we need like podcast
plebs technology, Titans.
John C Dvorak: Podcast Titans.
What? Podcast Titans
Adam Curry: now it has to be
something with the P O the
alliteration. That's why I said
podcast plebs, hutches, podcast
buzzers
Unknown: beating from which the
media were excluded. The
participants reached a unanimous
agreement that the development
of artificial intelligence must
be regulated.
I asked everyone in the room is
does his government needed to
play a role in regulating AI and
every single person? raise their
hands?
Adam Curry: This is very
interesting what Schumer says.
He says, I asked everyone in the
room this government needed and
everyone's hand was raised. Does
that mean they will be the day
but does it mean they all said
yes. Or do they just raise their
hands? He didn't say they all
agreed. He says that when
they're
John C Dvorak: trying to do a
judge came to mind is there I'm
listening to that clip. They
want government regulation.
Yeah, of course they do. So they
can Yeah, tick tock. This is
about somehow,
Unknown: is does. The government
needed to play a role in
regulating AI and every single
person raised their hands, even
though they had diverse views.
Adam Curry: So they so they
weren't all in agreement, but
they all raise their hands.
Thanks, Charlie. So that
Unknown: gives us a message here
that we have to try to,
John C Dvorak: yeah, that you're
foolish, as the process may be.
Unknown: Regulations are on the
Texas Dick Durbin table. And I
believe they are reality in this
field. It's a brand new field,
and I think it needs some
guidance.
Elon Musk described the meeting
as historic and important for
the future of civilization. Now,
the reason that I've been such
an advocate
Adam Curry: for this podcast is
in fact, important for the
future of civilization, not just
AI, but this podcast,
Unknown: and important for the
future of civilization. Now,
the reason that I've been such
an advocate for AI safety in
advance of sort of anything
terrible happening is that I
think the consequences of AI
going wrong are severe. So we
have to be active rather than
reactive.
The politicians now have to
decide what regulation will mean
in practice. But it's all very
well, lawmakers here agreeing
that AI needs to be regulated.
The problem is that other
countries, most notably China,
are likely to fall into step
with decisions made by the US
Congress. And there are fears
that that could mean us tech
companies losing their
competitive advantage without
the world being made any safer.
Adam Curry: So this is so I
think that they threw in this
China thing, because obviously,
China's going to get state
money, government money, and
they're like, ah, you know,
we'll call it regulation. But I,
you know, we need we need money.
We need lots of money, because
it's very expensive. These, you
know, we got to buy all these
chips from Nvidia and we need
money, we need money and China,
China, China, China, you don't
want to be buying China Do you
know and he said, Come to the
secret meeting. We're all going
to tell you how much you're
gonna get. And we'll call it
regulation. And here's my
question to you. If if AI is
going to if there's a larger
than zero chance that AI will
destroy the world, if this field
is so new is so dangerous, that
we need referees, we need
government agencies we need we
need we need regulation. They
can't even define it, but
continue. Explain to me why this
is okay. CNBC,
Unknown: the IRS has used its
billions and new congressional
funding in an interesting way.
They have a battery of new AI
tools, and they are launching a
new crackdown on the wealthiest
tax invader invaders.
Adam Curry: Okay, so what you're
saying is AI is very, very
dangerous unleashed on the
American people. Robert Frank
Unknown: is here to discuss
those details. Yeah, so the
new IRS commissioner, his goal
here was first let's use all
this money to help the service
part of our business help people
who you know want help paying
their taxes understanding what
they need to do. Now we're at
phase two, which is go after the
wealthy tax cheats and what
they're doing is putting a lot
of that money. Number one to
enforcers they're gonna hire 10
have 1000s of auditors and
enforces but number two is
develop AI and machine learning
to figure out what patterns they
can find in tax returns,
especially for these large
partnerships that can help them
identify where people are hiding
their income. And that's where
an agency not known for its
technological prowess is going
to really make a step change.
And I think this is a part where
AI really can do some good
because AI is great at these
massive data questions, and huge
computing power and applying
that to finding the areas where
humans didn't really see the
patterns before but AI can't
we just wrapped there that said
it was going to target 1500
millionaires with tax,
I think it was tax debt of 250.
That's one of the parts of this
is they're they're going after
1600 People who have a million
or more in income, who have
recognized tax debt. In other
words, we known known, known and
acknowledged by the taxpayer
that they owe at least
$250,000 1000 Excuse $250,000.
And this could raise hundreds of
millions of dollars if they
return all that, you know, you
do the math on, can they get
away with this already? The IRS
just didn't have the staff to go
after them legally and get this
money back?
Adam Curry: I think I think they
I think someone misreported I
think they meant 250 million,
but I think the truth came out
here, no, no, you have more than
250,000 in tax debt, which I
think a lot of people have that.
More than 1000.
John C Dvorak: Well, with the
tax rate being 40%, about 40%,
with the Biden tax rate, to
under 50,000. You'd have that
would be five deaths. That's
less than a million in income.
Adam Curry: Yeah. I think I
think the truth was coming out,
you know, let's
John C Dvorak: say 750,000 in
income that people make, they're
gonna go after tax liability
around that. And so that's,
Adam Curry: they're going after
the rich people. They're going
after small business small
business. Yes.
John C Dvorak: That's exactly
what got to get rid of. That's
what the whole idea is,
Adam Curry: you know, AI we need
regulation is going to do it. We
need regulation but unleashed
this. This monster on the
American people. You can't have
it both ways. Meanwhile, in San
Francisco, the people are very
happy with AI. This is a San
Francisco civilian. Taking a pic
ax to a cruise taxi. smashing
everything on
John C Dvorak: this car. Is the
taxi honking at it. Yeah, that's
the taxi is honking
Adam Curry: and smashing the
windshield, smashing the
spinning things on top, the FLIR
whatever it is.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, LIDAR.
LIDAR smashing
Adam Curry: the thing to bid.
That's that's the proper
reaction to this.
John C Dvorak: I think he should
have stolen a lidar but okay,
but that is the proper response
to this. And he will get caught
because it's San Francisco if he
gets caught don't just let him
go. Go smash another one.
Adam Curry: But I mean, this
this is so stop with the ball.
They've got digital twins. No,
they're coming after you. With
the coming after you for taxes.
You tax invader. That's what she
said. Checks. He called it a tax
invader at the beginning. Dummy,
dummy. Yeah, so I don't know.
None of it sounds happy days to
me.
John C Dvorak: Alright, well, we
got some funnier stuff.
Adam Curry: We do. We got
funnier stuff.
John C Dvorak: First of all,
let's start with the Dick
Cheney. Good anti Trump Biden
commercial.
Adam Curry: I think this is old.
I'm just gonna have to say it
right off the bat. I think this
is
John C Dvorak: I think it's old
too. I just found it though. We
played it and you seen it
before? We played it.
Adam Curry: Yeah, this Yeah.
This goes back to let me let me
see. Okay, then
John C Dvorak: let's scrap that
scrap it because I don't want to
play anything old because that
goes back to when
Adam Curry: his daughter was on
the J six commission. That's
when that came out.
John C Dvorak: So get rid of it.
Adam Curry: Go straight to Biden
go straight to the go straight
to the punch line.
John C Dvorak: I only have one
Biden clip. I want to save it
now. Okay.
Adam Curry: All right. All
right.
John C Dvorak: Let's go to some
story that I think is a little
more pertinent something that's
kind of not being played up is
definitely Savannah Guthrie is
not talking about it. The
situation of the libraries in
Canada,
Adam Curry: though this is new
to me the libraries in Canada
what's happening? Check it out.
Unknown: Some school libraries
just outside Toronto have half
empty shelves 1000s of books,
their status in limbo that could
be headed to the landfill. It's
all part of a weeding out
process. The Peel District
School Board is going through
and Angelina King reports this
morning on how the process has
led to inconsistency and concern
from students and parents.
Harry Potter The Very Hungry
Caterpillar The Diary of Anne
Frank, those are all some of the
books we've been told to have
been removed from some school
libraries as part of this
weeding process, of course all
very different books, which
speaks to the confusion and
inconsistency parents and
students are telling us that
they're concerned about. So
first, I'll give you just a
little bit of background on how
all of this is supposed to work.
Like most libraries in Canada,
in Canada, the school libraries
within the Peel District School
Board are to weed out books that
are damaged, outdated or
irrelevant. But at Peel schools,
there's a little bit more to it.
Librarians and others have to
read the books and ensure that
they are inclusive and also
ensure that they don't
reinforced racist content, or
include stereotypes if they do
they have to go.
Adam Curry: Oh, okay.
John C Dvorak: Oh, Mark Twain.
Goodbye.
Adam Curry: Yeah. All right.
Hello To Kill a Mockingbird. All
right. So
John C Dvorak: they're taken.
And it turns out, they're taken
everything printed, or published
before 2008. out it goes,
Adam Curry: first thing to go.
1984. Brave New World get it
out. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: those books gone.
Out of here. Yeah, so the books
now, and this is a big deal. And
the Canadians are a little bent
out of shape about it. But they
haven't done anything about it.
Yeah, the Skoda part two.
Unknown: Now I spoke with some
who are concerned about how all
of that is being handled,
including some students as well
as a group that's against the
process.
I'm not comfortable giving
anyone the power to be the
arbiter on a huge basis of
what's right and wrong, from a
library's perspective about the
totality
of ideas that are available. And
someone who's of Japanese
descent, I think that people's
authors who wrote about Japanese
internment camps are going to be
erased and the entire events
that went on historically for
Japanese Canadians are going to
be removed. And to me, that
worries me a lot.
So staff are supposed to focus
on books that were published in
2008 or prior, but that seems to
have led to some confusion and
half empty shelves at some
schools like the one you're
looking at in Mississauga. Now,
we've been told that it appears
some schools have simply removed
nearly all of the books in the
library published in 2008. Or
prior
Adam Curry: what was 2008? What
was it about
John C Dvorak: 2000 was trying
to find trying to find a reason
for the 2008 cut off point.
Adam Curry: I mean, Obama. Obama
in America, but that that
doesn't make any sense. What
happens? So
John C Dvorak: there's got to be
some rationale. Maybe some
Canadian out there listening
would tell us what why to have
all the years. Why 2008,
Unknown: which people have a big
concern about there's also seems
to be confusion about where
these books are supposed to go.
Many have actually wound up in
the landfill, because I believe
that's what they were supposed
to do with the school board
about that. It says that staff
have been told to follow
regional recycling guidelines. I
spoke with the school board. He
believes this process rolled out
incorrectly. He says trustees
now have implemented changes to
ensure transparency and
accountability. So now staff are
supposed to track which books
are removed NY
Adam Curry: da, this is great. I
mean, this mirrors the United
States, of course, but let's
let's get any set up to the
third clip in this series.
John C Dvorak: Know this go for
it.
Unknown: We want to make sure
that as we move forward as a
board, not only that all
students are feeling included,
we want to make sure that the
books are any materials that are
in the school and in our library
are relevant to the teaching.
We asked the board several
questions like how many books
are expected to be removed? How
many are in landfills? And how
much it'll cost to replace them.
But the board didn't answer
those questions, instead saying
it's working to ensure the books
are culturally responsive,
inclusive and diverse.
Adam Curry: Oh, my goodness. Is
that the 2008? Is that when
white privilege was published? I
mean, there's got to be some
reason people.
John C Dvorak: Everything before
2008 is no good. Well, I can
tell you is Unbeliev. This
story, by the way is outrageous.
And the Canadians going Oh,
well. I don't know what to do
about it. It's out of control.
This is ridiculous. You can't do
what they're doing. And it's
almost like just the opposite of
what they're trying to do in
Florida, which is getting
profane books out of the school
library. Not not Mark Twain.
Adam Curry: Ah, welcome to
Unknown: now it's time for our
Trojan smiles
Adam Curry: gender, self
destruct initiated. It's it's
it's very similar actually. You
know, the it's just the reverse
World Canada is throwing stuff
out they deem no good. And in
the United States, they just put
stuff in the door. This is good
for kids. We need to have you oh
yeah, this is good for kids. And
boy, was there an interesting
hearing up on Capitol Hill
Unknown: over banning books got
contentious on Capitol Hill
yesterday.
To all the parents out there who
believe there's a bunch of stuff
in our schools being pushed on
your children that go over the
line. You're absolutely right.
Thanks libertarian
regimes banned books, not
democracies.
Illinois Secretary of State
testified before a Senate
committee to promote an Illinois
law that prevents banning books
Dr. Libraries have become
targets by a movement that
disingenuously claims to pursue
freedom.
Some Republican led states have
restricted certain books where
kids have access to them. Most
of the books include stories
about racism, sexuality, or
gender identity, Florida removed
nearly 400 titles last year, the
hearing turned racy at one point
as Louisiana Senator John
Kennedy read explicit scenes
from two of the banned books,
the words you spoke are
disturbing, especially coming
out of your mouth. It's very
disturbing. We are advocating
for parents, random parents not
to have the ability under the
guise of keeping kids safe. To
try and challenge the world view
of every single manner on these
issues. You're getting
a conceptual game, I'm not good
at conceptual
Democrats and Republicans did
agree some books are
inappropriate for children, but
they were unable to agree on who
has the responsibility to censor
the books, parents or the state,
they should be removing these
Shame on them if they don't, and
Shame on those who want to groom
children sexually. No one
is advocating for sexually
explicit content to be available
in an elementary school library.
But no parents should have the
right to tell another parents
child what they can and cannot
read in school or at home.
Adam Curry: Okay, so just the
fact that we're talking about
books and libraries means we are
living in a dystopian world, no
matter what side you're on. It's
all dystopian, it's all you
crazy. What what
John C Dvorak: I thought you
would I didn't get it. I thought
you'd clip it for sure. Which
was Kennedy's reading from the
books.
Adam Curry: I have both of those
clips, and I'm not going to play
them. I'm leaving. I'm leaving
them in the show notes. Because
I know you it's actually too
much. It's too much and it
John C Dvorak: is it is too
much. But Kennedy reads from the
books are discussed.
Adam Curry: I have more clips
here. Let me play because
there's the core question is
when it comes to school
libraries, there's a difference
that just saying libraries.
They're bad they're burning
books. It's horrible. The Nazis
Wow, that really
John C Dvorak: take it for
granted as is the example of
where this is really headed. But
Adam Curry: I am in agreement
with you but they have this
representative of the LGBTQ plus
i Two Spirit librarians mix
named mix, Cameron.
John C Dvorak: Now Oh, another
mix, you know, mixes a popular
name amongst a
Adam Curry: very popular name.
And we'll get to mix in a
moment. And I'm skipping the
quotes from all boys aren't blue
and the gender queer books, I
put the links, the clips are in
the show notes. You can listen
to it. It's it's all meant for
shock value and none of its
good. But this there was some
actual stuff that was discussed
that is worth listening to.
Unknown: Mr. Secretary. What are
you asking us to do? There you
go. Are you suggesting that only
librarians should decide whether
the two books that I just
referenced should be available
to kids? Is that what you're
saying? No. Okay, tell me what
you're saying.
John C Dvorak: First of all,
Unknown: there's this Don't give
me a speech. Tell me what you're
asking me to do.
With all due respect, Senator
and the words you spoke are
disturbing, especially coming
out of your mouth is very
disturbing. But I would I would
also tell you that
Adam Curry: why is it especially
coming out of your mouth, Mr.
Mr. Kennedy? Why is it
especially disturbing coming out
of his mouth?
John C Dvorak: That's a good
catch.
Adam Curry: I don't understand
why especially.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Why
especially
Adam Curry: at blow job. I mean,
why especially and we're
Unknown: not advocating for kids
to report to Senator Booker's.
Why are you advocating for we
are advocating for parents,
random parents not to have the
ability under the guise of
keeping kids safe,
Adam Curry: random parents to
try and challenge what kind of
parent is a random parent? What
is this random parents world
Unknown: view of every single
manner on these issues? You're
getting a conceptual game? I'm
not going to consider changing
war. Yes, you are. Because you I
want to know what you're
recommending. It sounds to me
like some of you are saying the
librarians should decide who
gets to see that book.
I'm saying when you're making
one individual parents are
allowed to make a decision of
what where that line is and And
To Kill a Mockingbird, which
involves a rape scene should
that book be pulled from our
libraries? I think it becomes a
slip
up I think you ought to think
about it a little bit more
before you come here I've
thought you're going to propose
something you ought to be able
in 30 seconds to be able to
explain when they're asking us
to do
Adam Curry: so needless to say
Alexei had nothing so now we go
to mix mix well mix had a bow
tie and
John C Dvorak: to his mix of
what what, what was the apparent
agender? If you were to guess
Adam Curry: well mix look like a
dude with a dude hair and a bow
tie. And a pink jacket, like
salmon color, really? And some
kind of two spirits out of
style. And yeah, that was
definitely style.
Unknown: Let me skip me for a
second Mr. Cameron, tell me what
you're you're proposing.
It's pronounced next mix?
How would you like me to refer
to you,
Senator, your definition of
sexual is synonymous with LGBTQ
identity
live? I'm asking you that I'm
asking you to tell me you read
those two excerpts.
Genderqueer.
That? Are you asking that only
librarians and not parents have
any say? And whether minors can
read those books? Is that what
you're saying? gender queer
has never been in my school
library. So it's never been
bashed proposal
was should it be up just to the
librarian? Or Should parents
have a say
there should be facilitation of
collaboration between students,
parents? Parents should be
working with students and
educators to be making decisions
because students
whose a five year old cannot
leave the librarian or do you
take a vote? Or who takes the
vote?
Book review committees in the
community and my school
district,
you want to committee to our
committees? Okay. Well, I'm
asking you, How do we decide
whether the two books that I
just referenced should be
available in the library? What
would you if you were, if you
were running thanks? What would
you do?
Our boys aren't blue, the scene
you mentioned is about sexual
abuse
know what to do in terms of
making the books available?
Would you say anybody can see
them? Or they have to be in a
special session?
Students who do not read books,
like all boys are in blue cannot
learn what is understand they
cannot learn stem, but they want
to answer my question. You come
here and you say, censorship is
bad. And of course, it's bad.
But the honest responses, okay,
you heard the books we're
talking about? Okay, we're not
talking about Catcher in the
Rye. So tell me what you want.
Who gets to decide and all I've
heard is the librarians. And
parents have nothing to do with
it. And if that's your response,
what planet did you just
parachute in from? Parents?
Senator what country more
appropriately? That's not China.
Adam Curry: Now Canada is
Canada. That's where he's coming
from Canada. We'll wrap it up
with this parents.
Unknown: Parents absolutely have
a say, my parents were
immigrants came to this country.
We'd never checked out books
without our parents seeing what
what books we were reading, they
encouraged us
to understand this is good for
your politics back home. It's
got nothing to do. Everything to
do with came here to do you came
here with a problem. And I'm
trying to understand the
solution and you don't have one,
we solve the solution, then we
tell us that we don't agree with
you. You're on the wrong. We'll
be on the wrong side of history.
We
solved the problem in Illinois.
We fixed it, because we
well, there's others you could
work on? Well, that's why I'm
out of the home.
Adam Curry: How about this
government should have no say in
the matter? How about that? How
about department of education
shouldn't be around even exist?
This is all all is where we're
going not with taking it too
far.
John C Dvorak: Good stuff.
Adam Curry: But I didn't know
that it had spread to to Canada.
That's that's pretty
John C Dvorak: Canada's taking
the complete opposite approach.
Yeah, but there let's get rid of
Adam Curry: everything. For
2008 2008. Before make
John C Dvorak: sure all the
books that we have are
inclusive. Yeah. Yeah, that
means there's gonna be nothing
in the library.
Adam Curry: There was an
interesting case. A girl who
transitioned after two visits to
her psychiatrist has
successfully sued her
psychiatrists for professional
negligence. This is coming to an
end now.
John C Dvorak: The well there's
also this big suit against I
think it's Minnesota hospital.
Yeah. sued yes by a girl who is
D transitioned out After they
cut off her breasts, I don't
know if they sterilized her or
not. Oh, more than that. But
there has to be some legal
piece. The Legal Eagles in these
large organizations have to
consider the possibility of
massive settlements. Because you
can imagine what a jury is going
to do you get one of these cases
before a jury and you got some
girl who's been disfigured,
let's say, Yeah, specifically
and life ruined. Yeah,
especially if she's been
sterilized, and go and has a sob
story to tell about how she was
tucked into it and didn't like
the idea, but they'd made her do
it anyway. And it costs all this
money, that of settlement
amounts are going to be
astronomical. Yeah.
astronomical. Yeah, these
hospitals are right up against
it for for trying to pull this
off. And there, they better
start backtracking as fast as
they can, because there's
already there's this in the
pipeline. And I just don't see
anything but some massive
lawsuits against the hospitals,
the doctors, the psychiatrists,
and everybody in between. And
they're not going to get past if
it goes to a jury. There's no
jury you can possibly select as
a normal jury that is not going
to side with it with the
patient. There's not I can't
imagine that ever happening.
Meanwhile, with
Adam Curry: the new schools, the
school year is starting off in
the United States. Parents are
beside themselves with a worry
and outrage that they have to
send their children to school
without the allotted amount of
ADHD medication they need to get
through the day. Yes, there is a
drastic shortage of Adderall,
Vyvanse and other such such
medications. Parents are sending
their kids is Vyvanse. Vyvanse
is the same as Adderall only it
has a delayed action. So delayed
release
John C Dvorak: kind of fancy
Adderall.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Kind of like I
don't know, what was the opioid
that had the fancy release?
Yeah, you know what I'm talking
about time released time
release. That's it. So why is
this why has this happened? Is
it because of China? Nope. What
happened? Well, as it turns out,
use of prescription stimulants
such as Adderall and Vyvanse,
which can mitigate ADHD
symptoms. I'm reading from
Bloomberg. Rose 46%. In the last
10 years partly driven by the
pandemic era surge of here comes
telehealth prescribing among
adults telehealth prescribing
among adults we we are a drugged
up nation.
John C Dvorak: We love speed yes
math
Adam Curry: speed. And the
parents are sending their kids
to school with caffeine drinks
to supplement the Adderall
because they don't have enough
at what point do people wake up
and go you know you know maybe
maybe maybe maybe maybe this
doesn't make sense we deserve it
all I guess
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Well
there's always been an
underground for this is just a
move that above ground figure
the white wire the drug dealers
making money on this stuff.
Adam Curry: We're talking we're
talking seven year olds John
seven year old kid
John C Dvorak: doesn't like I
said they weren't you? Yeah, no
one is much no one used to dress
they're so clever. Seven year
old with some.
Adam Curry: No, of course you
didn't. And it goes like this.
Oh, you know, little Johnny was
just out of control. He was
really it was too much to
handle. But now we've got him on
his meds. He's getting A's and
B's. He's getting A's and B's.
He's so good at concerts. The
kid is frying his brain is
burning out. burning out. I tell
you burning out.
John C Dvorak: Well, the guy
again bringing it back to Joe
Biden. Yeah, there we go.
Talking about burning out. I
mean, they give him they juice
him up. And he's gusta does
that's where I think there's a
big speech coming, where they're
going to juice them up again and
he's going to come off with you
know, instead of the mumbling
fumbling Joe Biden is going to
be the yelling screaming Gotcha.
You know, go nuts. Joe Biden. I
have I want I'd like people to
start collecting these because I
have only 31 seconds of these.
Biden jacked up super cut, but I
think we can make this I like to
get about five minutes of them.
Unknown: Can you imagine looking
at your child or changing
people's lives? We beat forever
this year. Think about what
you'd think about. Take
everything away from you without
unions or been on middle class.
I'm sick of this stuff. Well,
I'm sick and tired are smart
guys. I'm not more sure he was a
patriot. There are not a single
thing we can not do. Not a
single thing. Thank you. Go get
him.
Adam Curry: His brain has gotten
his brain has gone, Jim. Yes.
Well, there was an interesting
article in the Washington Post
by Uber leftist. Superman, which
David Ignatius?
John C Dvorak: Yes, they have a
clip discussing this. Oh, I
Adam Curry: have a couple two
but happy to play yours first.
John C Dvorak: This is the media
turning on Biden WaPo.
Unknown: And speaking of
politicians age, a columnist for
the Washington Post is offering
his thoughts and an op ed
columnist David Ignatius argue
that President Biden is too old
to run again in 2024. Ignatius
said he doesn't think Biden and
vice president Harris should run
for reelection. He pointed to
voters concerns over Biden's age
and Harris's low approval
ratings. Biden is currently 80
years old and would be 82. At
the beginning of a second term.
The columnist called Biden's age
a big liability and said it's
become the subject of dinner
table conversations across
America this summer. As to
Harris, the columnist said she
quote failed to gain traction in
the country or even within her
own party. Ignatius touted what
he considers Biden's
achievements, but said the Biden
withdrawing from the 2024 race
would be a wise choice for the
country.
Adam Curry: Yes, Whopper Whopper
Whopper Whopper WaPo. And David
Ignatius showed up on the
morning Joe's with Mika and Joe
Scarborough and Mika. Well, she
had the only question that
matters,
Unknown: who would be an
alternative right now, who could
do that on day one? A legitimate
one.
So I can't name you that person.
The thing about the democratic
process is that it yields
answers to questions like that
through this amazing phenomenon.
I still believe in I believe
that that open discussion that
nominating campaigns, produce
clarity produce candidates
produce leaders. I couldn't
agree more that Biden has been a
strong leader in foreign policy
and domestic policies I wrote
about in the column, he has
passed some of the most
significant domestic social
legislation in decades. foreign
policy, one of the things that I
admire most about Biden is that
he's gathered a team around him.
Adam Curry: This is important
this because this is coming
straight from the Democratic
insiders heat. Now listen
carefully, because I have
another clip that goes with
this. He is saying, but you'll
hear what
Unknown: he say a very solid
people call it people teach
ugly, he is the leader of that
team. But the team members
themselves are strong. I have no
doubt that this team of sensible
strategic people in the
Democratic Party who are driving
foreign policy forward and in a
good way will continue to met no
matter who the temporary
Democrats choose no matter who
on that score. I'm less
concerned than you are. I think
it comes down to what we were
talking about earlier. Is Joe
Biden, the person who can stop
Donald Trump or somebody like
Trump, who gets the Republican
nomination. That's what he's
got. He's got a look in the
mirror searches so and make that
decision. And I wanted to raise
that question. I'd like him to
think that through carefully,
because I have my concerns.
Adam Curry: So that to me is an
important thing that he said
there. The Democrats in America
are looking for not for someone
to run the country because he's
got a great team. He's got
Blinken. He's got Newland, he's
got to celebrate
John C Dvorak: those two, you
just named the two reasons that
that whole team should be
ousted. Now, of course,
Adam Curry: but this these
people are dumb, John, because
of diversity, equity inclusion
are entitled An entire political
system has become dumb. We've
hired dummies, so you're now
they're looking for someone who
can beat Trump. They don't care.
As long as he can beat Trump, he
or her. I think that Biden will
bow out. I think we won't even
get the big speech. Unless it's
possible. We get the big speech
and he just goes nuts. And he
says something like, go nuts and
he says great. He says something
like I'm corrupt. You know,
that's why I pray for that every
day. I pray
John C Dvorak: Yeah. To get
these ideas.
Adam Curry: You said and he's a
he's a Catholic boy, he may just
all of a sudden say I gotta
confess, I'm corrupt. I took all
the money. My son's a drug
addict. I'm corrupt what? And so
Camela would have to step in.
For it for the time being.
That'd be great. First Black
woman to be President of the
United States. It follows the
Veep script to the tee to the
tee. And Pelosi was on pooper
talking about Kamala, and she
said some just horrible things
about her. But I think makes
clear that she's gonna step in,
she'll be fine to step in.
Listen to
Unknown: this was enough to date
that fake news
is the best running mate for
this President.
He thinks so. And that's what
matters. And by the way, she's
very politically astute. I don't
think people give her enough
credit. She's course values
based consistent with the
President's values in the rest.
And people don't understand
she's politically astute. Why
would she be vice president if
she were not, but when she was
running for attorney general in
California, she had 6% in the
polls 6%. And she politically
astutely made her case about why
she would be good, did her
politics and became Attorney
General.
Adam Curry: Okay. So I just want
to reiterate what she said. She
said, She's politically astute.
She when she was running for
Attorney General for the state
of California, she had 6% and
then she whispered 6%, but she
did her politics. Can you tell
me what those politics were at
the time in California that she
was here? Yes. What did she do
to go from I have no idea didn't
she sleep with Willie Brown
John C Dvorak: was she Disney
would Willie Brown is very well
known as kind of like a de facto
facto facto. She slept with
Willie Brown or did something
with Willie Brown. That put a
smile on his face, let's say.
And she got she just got pushed
into the job. I don't remember
her even campaigning. I don't
remember a speech from her. I
remember she was the DA in San
Francisco and she did a crappy
job there. She was condemned for
some of the stuff she did. She
was nuts about just throwing
every marijuana user in jail.
And she had let a lot of bad
guys go. She was like an early
warning of the of the chest see
a boo Dan that they had to
recall. Get him out of there.
And that guy in down in Los
Angeles, bad, bad. DBAs and
yeah, and then she ended up with
the job. And the next thing you
know, she bounces into this job.
She's She's definitely
Adam Curry: she's, she's
politically astute. She's very
John C Dvorak: astute. Yeah,
that's the word astute.
Adam Curry: And as we'll hear in
the rest of this clip, she just
has to she doesn't matter if
she's dumb as a rock. She didn't
have to say anything, just be a
standing.
Unknown: And she politically
astutely made her case about why
she would be good, did her
politics and became the attorney
general. So people shouldn't
underestimate what Kamala Harris
brings to the table. Do you
think she is the best running
mate? She's the Vice President
of the United States. When
people say to me, Well, why
isn't she doing this or that? I
said, because she's the Vice
President. That's the job
description.
Adam Curry: This is jobs. Don't
do anything. Just stand there
and be ready when the old guy
croaks, or leaves or whatever.
Unknown: You don't do that much.
You know, you. You're a source
of strength, inspiration,
intellectual resource, and the
rest and you and she I think
she's represented a country very
well at home and abroad.
Adam Curry: So you don't have to
do anything. That's the job.
That's the job. The job is be
like Selena Gomez, be as stupid
as you want to be. Doesn't
matter. The team around you will
take care of it. Joe's out. The
question is who is good enough
to take on Donald Trump? I know
only one.
John C Dvorak: But Gavin Newsom,
Adam Curry: Big Mike 2024, baby.
Oh, please. Yep, it's common. I
can feel it in my water. Big
Mike 2024. Big Mike
2020 four.com. Everybody if you
want to. Want to sproutly
Somebody's got to domain Yeah,
we move we did believe me. Who
else who else could take on
Donald Trump? Yeah, Gavin
Newsom, maybe Nancy Pelosi.
John C Dvorak: Get Gavin Newsom.
He's got he's got a baggage of
the state itself, which is a
problem. But even though he's
good bullshitter and he's been
promoted, he's promoted by the
right in the form of you know,
Sean Hannity,
Adam Curry: let me tell you, it
makes so much sense. It's all
coming together now. Just bear
with me. So
John C Dvorak: Tom telling you
who's going to who's going to
get it still unless I didn't
steal I see a falter Kennedy.
Adam Curry: Let's get to that in
a second. The way I would play
this is I would get Tucker on
our team. The so to speak, and
I'd have him out Obama as gay
with you know, either the real
Larry Sinclair or the fake
leader Larry Sinclair doesn't
matter. After the story is out,
and by the way, did you know the
Carlson's have quite a history
of outing gay and transgender
people?
John C Dvorak: Tell me more.
Adam Curry: Did you know that it
was Carlson's dad, Richard
Carlson, who outed the
transsexual tennis player back
in the 70s. Remember,
John C Dvorak: but we can always
remember the horse's name
Adam Curry: as transsexual
tennis player,
John C Dvorak: that everyone
knew that that was a transplant.
Renee Richards, Rene
Adam Curry: Richie. Yeah, Renee
John C Dvorak: Richards.
Everyone knew that no, but
Adam Curry: it was here 19 From
the wiki 1976 Richards gender
reassignment was outed by local
TV anchor Richard Carlson, who
also wore a bowtie, the father
of Tucker Carlson, subsequently,
the United States Tennis
Association, the Women's Tennis
Association, and the United
States open committee required
all female competitors to verify
their sex with a bar body test
of their chromosomes. So the
Carlson's have a history of
doing this. They're the go to
guys.
John C Dvorak: Well, that's one
example. Give me more insofar as
a history.
Adam Curry: That's That's
history, though. Who cares?
John C Dvorak: I'm just one.
Adam Curry: Yeah, just those
two, two, there's one was Renee
and two is Obama. And we have
all this the whole i Listen, the
Democrat Party has primed there
is no longer black V was black
people before we have Black
Lives Matter petered out.
Everyone's stole the money, and
we don't have the black. If
you've if you don't vote
Democrat, you ain't black. So
that's no longer in play. You're
trans. Everyone's trans. That's
the thing 20% of quote school
kids say I'm trans you might as
well say I'm a Democrat, you
wearing a mask. You're a
Democrat. It's all it's all tied
in to bringing in Obama's gay
I'm sorry, you know, it's right.
Ben showed Here's Mike. That is
an actual play I can see
happening. It's that crazy in
the world amount
John C Dvorak: of time you spend
on this thesis is ridiculous. I
Adam Curry: will just remind
you, Donald Trump called it
early Pope nailed it. I have a
history you can't refute my
choices.
John C Dvorak: Plenty of
refutation. This one is so off
the wall. The problem is I get
the sense even though I'm not
completely convinced, by the way
that you're sincere.
Adam Curry: I'm totally sincere
as an option. I personally would
enjoy Bobby The awful lot more.
And it's just the it's all
rigged against him. There's no
it's all it's all uphill battle
this and you know, the rigging
the primary. How does he do it
is you can go third party.
John C Dvorak: That's not gonna
work. party's not going to work.
That's not going
Adam Curry: to work. No one that
no one is bringing him as an as
an option. How? How do you get
from here to there? I mean, I
just gave you a viable path for
Michelle. Michelle Obama. Okay.
viable path. Where's your red
book?
John C Dvorak: It's in there.
Adam Curry: It's a viable patio
with
John C Dvorak: big blue arrows
pointing at it. Wow. Now,
Adam Curry: okay, so there's
one. All right. There's a
possibility. We saw a New York
Times article come out with all
of a sudden, we have one of the
Secret Service guys who's now in
his 80s who was there on the day
of JFK assassination. And, and
he comes out and he says, oh,
no, no, no, no, I'm the magic
bullet. I found the magic bullet
discrediting the entire report.
What was it called the
commission the Warren
Commission? This crediting it
should no no, no, it was it was
stuck in between the seat of the
car and I put it on the gurney
and then it must have jumped
over off that gurney and then on
to Kennedy's gurney. Have you?
Do you read this? He has a book
coming out of course written by
who knows? Yeah. Do you think
that this would have something
to do with with with Bobby? Like
no, Bobby The K? Oh, somehow I
don't know.
John C Dvorak: You know, like
something is kind of alluded at
the moment. I want to see it
shake out a little bit more. The
Bobby The K move.
Adam Curry: You there's no move.
That's the problem. There's no
moves. I see no X think
John C Dvorak: analysis is being
performed as we speak. What to
do next.
Adam Curry: Okay, I'm sorry. I
think I have more in my Big Mike
theory than you have.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, and Gavin
Newsom will end up being the guy
and he'll lose.
Adam Curry: Well, that's, that
would probably be the best for
America. I do think that we have
a possible VP who has thrown her
hat into the ring. And that's
the Grisham lady from New
Mexico. This whole thing that
she did with the banning of
concealed carry and open carry
firearms in, in New Mexico.
Yeah. Now of a VP bid.
John C Dvorak: I had the I had
Grisham picked as the VP in the
last election before they came
up with Camela. I think it's a
it's a good pick. But the
problem was Grisham now is that
she's, she was kind of a perky.
I wouldn't say necessarily cute,
but she had a lot of pizzazz
back four years ago or two
years, it was only two years
ago. Now she looks like she's
been. It looks like they've been
drugging her. So she looks bad.
She's perfect.
Adam Curry: She's perfect. She's
John C Dvorak: got a bad look.
Adam Curry: I got a couple of
clips here. That I think shows
she is this whole move was
nothing about the safety of the
people of New Mexico
Unknown: governor Michelle Lujan
Grisham last week declared a
public health emergency and
announced a 30 day ban on
carrying firearms open or
concealed in public areas in
Albuquerque and its County. The
Democratic governors move is
facing push pushback from law
enforcement officials and gun
rights groups. Bring us now for
her first national televised
interview since issuing this
order is the governor of New
Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grisham.
Governor, thank you for your
time this morning. And let's get
to exactly that. We just heard
from the sheriff he joins the
Attorney General and others who
say they won't enforce it, it's
unconstitutional. Why do it if
it can't be enforced?
Well, that's their opinion. And
they have no bold actions. They
don't have any plans for
reducing gun violence, every
single aspect in terms of
preventing gun violence funds,
crime labs, more than 150
million for retention, bonuses
and recruitment of new police
officers. I'm focused on one
thing, we have the third highest
gun related injuries in the
country 90%, higher than the
national average, we lost 143
Children between 2017 and 2021.
It is unacceptable. And it calls
for immediate and swift and bold
action and evidence bears out
over and over again, fewer guns
on the streets makes everyone
safer. And I'm focused on
everyone's constitutional
rights, not just those the NRA
says I should be focused on
Yeah, it's not just the NRA.
Here's one other concern from
the sheriff. Here's what he told
my colleague, Kaitlin Collins
last night,
and a couple of months or a year
down the road, were the ones
stuck in court. And we're the
ones getting sued over all of
these infringement of rights and
all these other court battles
when I could be focusing so much
more on crime.
Adam Curry: When she says bold
action, you know, gun crime, she
doesn't care about the people in
Mexico, she cares about being
the VP whose job will be to take
away America's guns.
Unknown: Has any law enforcement
officer in Albuquerque or the
county actually enforced this
yet?
Well, we haven't issued any
civil penalties. But that
doesn't mean that we're not and
that we don't have the ability
to do that. But that right back
I get from every single, I want
to know this minute. But that
doesn't mean that we aren't in
it doesn't mean that we don't
have additional police presence.
And if not this bold action,
making sure that you're going to
the grocery store, you're safe
going to a baseball game, you're
safe walking on a hiking trail,
there are individuals, including
young people where it's illegal
today to have a handgun openly
carrying handguns. My question
to law enforcement is where are
you? Where are you in that young
11 year old Froylan Vegas 17
rounds were fired into that gun
35,000 rounds are fired at least
annually in Albuquerque alone,
you are not safe going to work
getting your prescription drugs
or going into a public park. And
it wasn't just about a cooling
off period. It's about making
sure that everyone is safer
while we do boulder work. Oh,
both the drug epidemic and the
gun violence epidemic. And it's
not for police to tell me what's
constitutional or not. They
haven't supported one, not one,
gun violence effort in the state
of New Mexico. Police domestic
violence protections, universal
background checks. And I know
you want to ask me a question.
So I'll take a breath. But no,
you know, these are NRA talking
points about their rights and
not about anybody else's. And
it's not a ban. It's a temporary
pause. Okay, so that we can make
this community safer. She
Adam Curry: is so so vying for a
VP maybe even President
Certainly Aviva.
John C Dvorak: Maybe, maybe this
is the place she that everyone
knows that Campbell was like a
weak link and nobody likes her.
Yeah. And they gotta get rid of
her if they're gonna run again,
and Biden's not going to give up
the ghost and Brokk Well,
whatever you guys can know,
Biden's gonna get jacked out,
you'll see it. It's going to be
in the next few weeks. I can't
wait. You're gonna jack him up.
Yes, with a shot. He's gonna
give a big rousing speech
bitching about everything. And
it's about you know, Dana day.
And so they're gonna move out.
Harris and we moved this girl
in.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. For the
for the next run. Okay, so you
think Joe is still good to run
for? For 2020 24
John C Dvorak: He's proven he
can beat Trump. Okay.
Adam Curry: Even though the
Democrat insiders are saying
he's too old, which is code for
he's too wasted.
John C Dvorak: I think there's a
schism in the party. And this
schism is being shown a said
WaPo is right on there, right
there at the front of it. There
are saying now, you know, you
get to David Ignatius being the
front guy of all the column that
you could have used, you put him
as the guy because I don't know
why. But there's a reason for
that choice. Maybe nobody else
wanted to do it to be the point
man for this whole takedown. And
so they chose him and he's okay
with it. He's not, not the
greatest in terms of being
appointment. And, you know,
turning the whole party against
Joe. You know, it's a salvo. So
just a shot across the bow.
Let's see what happens. Yeah.
Okay. Well, Joe has not given up
and his team has not given up
and so they're looking for
somebody new in the UB are
probably identified her and this
Michelle, who I thought should
have been the one in the first
place.
Adam Curry: The way you sir,
you're agreeing with me. Did you
just agree with me?
John C Dvorak: I said Biden's
gonna run again. Is that
agreeing with you? No. You said
it should have been Michelle.
First Mike's gonna run again.
That's Michelle. The Big Mike is
Michelle. No, machette No.
Michelle Grisham.
Adam Curry: Oh, I'm sorry. I was
like, whoa, what are you talking
about? All right. Now, the Bobby
The Opera thing, Kennedy. I
think he may be an art. But he
if anything, he's an opt to get
Trump elected, that he can take
votes away. He can actually
degrade the Democrats and
John C Dvorak: you have to
assume if that's true, do we
have to make the assumption that
Trump has sold out and is now
okay to go? Is that what you're
saying?
Adam Curry: When I'm here? I'll
tell you my bottom line. I don't
think anyone controls it. But
someone controls the voting and
whoever runs the show,
determines who becomes
president. And they screwed up
and somehow Trump eked through
and he got it. And they're never
going to let that happen again.
No matter come hell or high
water. That's what I think. I
don't think voting matters. I
think your vote doesn't matter.
My vote doesn't matter. I think
it's completely completely
bogus. I really do. It's it's
hard to think of that, but I
think it just doesn't matter.
It's rigged every every which
way and they just took their eye
off the ball because they
thought oh, Hillary Trump can't
do it. If somehow they forgot to
do some stuff somebody took no
wasn't wasn't Pamela and dropped
the ball, I'm gonna drop the
ball and then eat now never
happen again, ever. It's it's
been determined, do whatever
they want. It's all been set,
and has nothing to do with the
people in Washington has nothing
to do with the Department of
Justice, or the FBI or anything
like that. It's rigged, it's
screwball. That's what I really
think.
John C Dvorak: Well, that's what
you really think is fine. And so
I don't see how anything you
just said makes any sense with
bringing in Big Mike.
Adam Curry: Okay, we'll see. You
will repent.
John C Dvorak: Mike is no Big
Mike is out.
Adam Curry: Okay, let's talk
about one other thing that I
need to get off my chest. Don't
call it a comeback. That's back.
And just to confuse you even
further into believing that this
summer cold is somehow COVID XB
3.225974. Let's bring out of a
whistleblower
Unknown: this morning. The CIA
confirms it's looking into
accusations that several members
of an agency team tasked with
COVID pandemic analysis were
paid significant hush money to
shift their position regarding
the origins of the virus. Two
Republican lawmakers have sent a
letter to CIA director William
Burns, claiming that a senior
level current agency officer
came forward alleging the payoff
they say a According to the
whistleblower, seven officers
were assigned to the CIA's COVID
discovery team, and six of the
seven members of the team
believed the intelligence and
science were sufficient to make
a low confidence assessment that
COVID-19 originated from a
laboratory in Wuhan, China. The
letter claims only one a person
on that team, who was most
senior believe that COVID could
have been transmitted from
animals to humans, but that to
come to the eventual public
determination of uncertainty,
the other six members were given
a significant monetary incentive
to change their position. The
whistleblower did not explain
the payments or who might have
made them. The CIA tells ABC
News we are committed to the
highest standards of analytic
rigor, integrity and
objectivity. We do not pay
analysts to reach specific
conclusions. The origins of
COVID have been the subject of
several congressional hearings.
Former CDC Director Dr. Robert
Redfield earlier this year,
testified he was excluded from
discussions because he believed
the lab leak theory warranted
investigation
was told to me that they wanted
a single narrative and that I
obviously had a different point
of view.
Dr. Anthony Fauci called that
accusation untrue. In June, the
Office of the Director of
National Intelligence said the
CIA and another agency were
unable to decide on where they
think COVID origins lie, as both
hypotheses rely on significant
assumptions, or face challenges
with conflicting reporting. This
new letter is asking for
documents related to the COVID
discovery team's creation,
communications about COVID
origins and records of any
financial bonuses. The letter is
asking for that information to
be turned over by September 26.
Adam Curry: So I the timing of
this is is suspect. The minute
the FDA authorizes the new
vaccination booster, you know,
there's even disagreement over
what we're calling it. That
bring in Redfield I think this
is all, all Vonk. A
whistleblower, particularly
inside the government has
whistleblower protections, but
you have to come forward. And
I'm reading from the United
States House Committee on
Oversight Accountability press
release. They say staff on the
Select subcommittee of the
Coronavirus pandemic and
Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence have heard
testimony from a whistleblower
alleging that the Central
Intelligence Agency offered six
analysts significant monetary
incentives to change their
position and COVID-19 origin the
whistleblower who presents as a
highly credible senior level CIA
officer, what does that mean?
The whistleblower who presents
Is this person a highly credible
senior level CIA officer or do
they just present that way? What
does that mean?
John C Dvorak: It means that the
whoever wrote the press release
was illiterate.
Adam Curry: The whistleblower
who presents as a highly
credible level surely
John C Dvorak: whistleblower was
a high level guy. This whole
thing is is bullcrap. Correct?
Adam Curry: It's it's only to
get you to believe that this is
all a real thing right now.
Forget about the original. Right
now. No, this is just the flu is
just a cold that literally
Coronavirus literally is a cold.
But the timing is perfect.
believe it's real because we've
got another shot for you.
Unknown: Tonight's FDA
authorization is a major step
towards new booster shots after
the CDC meets Tuesday vaccines
from Maderna. And Pfizer could
go into arms by the end of the
week,
Adam Curry: drug arms arms talk
about a pitch into arms or could
go
Unknown: into arms by the end of
the week. drug makers say
boosters should increase
protective antibodies against
the latest strains, including ba
286. The CDC says the mutation
shows the ability to in fact
they're protected and even those
who've already had COVID. But it
doesn't appear to be more
severe.
What this Booster will do is
protect us against severe
disease, hospitalization. And
the data so far indicate that
the booster is well matched to
those strains, though national
Adam Curry: doesn't that sound
Oh, that doesn't sound a lot
like the same script they used
to use for the flu. Oh, we've
matched it. It's the right one.
We figured it out. It's the
right one for this strain for
this year strain of the flu for
this, for this year's strain of
the pandemic of the COVID
Unknown: is well matched to
those strains. Though national
COVID cases are no longer
tracked. Some states are
reporting a rise though not a
worrisome wave in new infection
Adam Curry: worrisome wave Oh
man's hospitalizations are
Unknown: up nearly 16% Even
though 97% of adults have some
level of protective immunity II
I was extremely exhausted and
that congestion
congestion, college seniors just
caught the virus that she
returned to school just like
many adults have at work and at
large venues.
Last week, a lot of my classes
were empty because a lot of kids
were reporting that they were
sick
Adam Curry: reporting because
they didn't want to go to
school. While the
Unknown: federal government will
no longer pay for booster shots.
Most Americans will be covered
by private insurance or
Medicare. local clinics are also
expected to offer the roughly
$120 shot for free. While many
new infections are mild. Tonight
there is concern a winter wave
could be near if Americans don't
take precautions or get
protection.
Adam Curry: We went from a
worrisome wave to a winter wave
and we need to bring out as many
people as we can onto the phony
baloney and five M networks to
sell this to sell it to the
American people. Do you remember
Dr. Jha? Remember that guy? jaw?
Yeah, remember
John C Dvorak: jaw?
Adam Curry: Well, they brought
him on the Today Show job. Let's
sell it baby sell at home. Bring
Unknown: it Joining us now. Dr.
Ashish Shah, the former White
House COVID Response
Coordinator. Now once again, the
Dean of Brown University's
School of Public Health. Dr.
Shah, you had your tour of duty
in Washington. But here we are
talking about what some people
are calling a COVID booster. But
this is a new shot. Tell us
about this new one and what it
responds to which is it? Is it a
particular variant? Is it for
the original COVID Why don't we
need to get it? Yeah.
Okay, that sounds. So first of
all, thrilled to be back.
Adam Curry: It's good to be
back. You know, it's good to be
on the payroll. Look,
Unknown: every year we update
our flu vaccine to match the flu
strain that's circulating.
Adam Curry: And now we're just
doubling down with two shots for
you every year.
Unknown: We're starting to do
the same thing with COVID. Yes,
yes. So there are new strains of
COVID that are circulating and
you need a new shot once a year.
I don't call it a booster
because it's just your annual
COVID shot at this point. And
most people should go out and
get their annual COVID shot. The
way they get their annual flu
shot and it's matched it matches
the strains that are circulating
out there right now.
Adam Curry: It matches it's just
like a flu shot it's crazy it's
just like a flu shot this is
exactly what we used to do only
we want to make more money $120
per shot Don't worry your
insurance will pay for it
doesn't cost anybody in the
world anything else and Medicare
will pay for it. I don't know
where the magic money okay, so
we
Unknown: should be getting that
shot and shot. A lot of people
are about to get their flu shot.
Is it a good idea to get both of
those shots together?
Adam Curry: Well for the let's
look at the balance sheet. Yes,
it's a great idea together
Unknown: it is I got both of
them last year together. Totally
safe to do that.
Adam Curry: Totally sue that guy
that did that. Right what he
said right there I think it's
sewable Hey, Dr. Shah said it's
totally safe.
Unknown: It works just as well
to do that. It's obviously much
more convenient. You can get
them in the same arm you get
them different arms it doesn't
matter if you get them at the
same
good point we don't call it a
booster shot. What are
Adam Curry: vaccines don't call
it a booster it's a shot baby
it's new we don't say that about
the flu. It has to be new and
fresh every single time Yeah,
your annual flu
Unknown: shot you will kill the
child get them together. It
makes the fall the winter the
holidays just much safer. Much
better for everybody. It's much
better
Adam Curry: for everybody
because you don't want to kill
granny hospitalization numbers
that we've seen pick up from the
prior week. To what do we
attribute that? I heard an
uptick I heard a script uptick
it's ticked up the
hospitalization
Unknown: numbers that we've seen
tick up to what do we tribute
that it's just this like a
return to It's just the numbers
to work after Labor Day is more
to it than that? Yeah, look
COVID is gonna be with us right
for ever just the way fluids
Adam Curry: are with Wait a
minute, wait a minute. Wait a
minute. When did we hear that
COVID is going to be with us
forever just like the flu is
with us. Have you ever had was
this a major scientific survey
study or something? Did you hear
about any of this?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, no, this
Yeah, no, no, this was presented
a couple of this was early on in
the game they represent us okay,
it's largely because Coronavirus
is the cold so always gonna be
with us. It's always
Unknown: gonna be with us. COVID
is gonna be with us. Right for
ever just the way through is
Adam Curry: forever. He totally,
forever, forever.
Unknown: Yeah, look, COVID is
gonna be with us, right for ever
just the way floats. With COVID
we probably going to see a
couple of these little waves a
year where it's gonna go up,
it's gonna go down. Oh, they
usually happen during the
winter. We get one usually
during this summer. This is just
sort of that late summer COVID
way we've seen it each of the
last couple of summers. We're
seeing it again. I'm hoping it's
going to turn around and it's
going to peak and start coming
back down. This is a reality and
we can manage our way through it
up on the vaccines
Adam Curry: just you can manage
to
John C Dvorak: do they do the
right thing here and suggest
that twice a year shot.
Adam Curry: Even better. Even
better than that. They don't
even hide it anymore. They say
look, look five Desert moderna.
They're sponsoring this segment.
They're paying for everything on
television right now. Could you
just get to the could you close
it? Can you pitch this thing and
close it for me?
Unknown: Dr. John make your big
pitch here. Okay? I mean because
a lot of folks, if you're
immunocompromised if you're
elderly you know you want us
Adam Curry: I knew I get you
with that one. Make Your Pitch.
Come on, man. We got 40 seconds
left, Make Your Pitch doctors
job
Unknown: to make your big pitch
here. Okay? I mean, because a
lot of folks okay if you're
immunocompromised if you're
elderly, you know, you want to
stay on top of your COVID shots.
Other folks who are like I'm
reasonably healthy, I'm young,
do I really need to do it? Or
you know, I've had COVID three
times and I had all the shots.
Yeah. What's your pitch?
Adam Curry: What point at what
point is that Savannah?
John C Dvorak: I know. I'm not
sure that Savannah but whoever
it is, because it because she's
not. I can't tell right there.
But the idea that you'd say I've
been vaccinated double Vax, have
been boosted and boosted have
had COVID Three times why do we
need another shot? It's just
like, does anyone notice how
ludicrous This is?
Adam Curry: Thank you for
pointing that out. It's this is
an we, I was I was dinner last
night and you have people
talking about their family
members who are doctors who are
doctors. And you can literally
say to them, Do you remember
when it was safe and effective?
And 95%? Yes. Do you remember it
went to 85 and 75? And then you
needed to and they needed a
booster and they needed another
booster and was safe and
effective? And then if you
wouldn't go into the hospital
and and you know you would be no
severe illness and and you know
there's no myocarditis is crazy.
And any of that you remember all
of that? Yeah. Well, then why do
you think that this is any
different? Well, I haven't you
know, I'm not dead. That's a
Hama Hama that's only
unvaccinated people. You know?
It's, it's isn't that what's it
called? Cognitive dissonance.
Isn't that the exact perfect
textbook example of cognitive
dissonance? Like see that isn't?
It's yeah, dissonance. Am I
saying it wrong? That's I said,
dissident, no dissonance.
John C Dvorak: He has a funnier
tear. If you think about let's
finish his
Adam Curry: pitch his big pitch.
Unknown: Yep. What's your pitch?
Yeah,
so a couple of things. First of
all, if you get COVID After
getting vaccinated, it's gonna
be much milder, you're less
likely to miss work, you're
gonna miss Screw it. Second,
you're less likely to spread it
to others. So maybe you're not
high risk. Maybe grandma is if
you've gotten the COVID shot,
you're less likely to spread it
to her that makes a really big
grandma. And then you know, some
people go on to develop long
COVID where they can have long
term complications. That gets
reduced a lot by getting
vaccinated to free widely
available to me it's a no
brainer free,
Adam Curry: free free. Why?
John C Dvorak: I like the idea
of charging of all things
because the shot is we already
know the cost of the shots 19
bucks Max 120 bucks for the
20 120
Adam Curry: Well was 20 bucks
that was a murderer and 120 It's
120 so
John C Dvorak: I'm just really
gonna get to the point. So they
got it, we know what it cost is
1920 attended nine to $20 worth
the cost to make make the thing
and so they spill a sell for
3040 bucks, but by jacking the
price way up to 120 and then
saying it's free. It's a
marketing trick. Yeah, yes.
Adam Curry: Thank you. Yes. So
John C Dvorak: why don't they
just say well, this this is
what's coming this has got to be
coming because I would do this
if I was the marketing guy at
Pfizer. Yeah, it goes like this
well this new this be next year,
the new you get the new variant
this was a tough one. This cost
the district r&d that went into
getting this just this one done.
This shot is going to be 300
bucks 300 bucks is good that's
what it's going to cost but free
if who you know it's about 300
bucks so you jack the unity of
phony baloney up to some Vitsin
price in the sky charged the
government for that because you
know, they the you still have to
pay somebody has to pay the 300
bucks. When when when when maybe
just
Adam Curry: the very end there
what he said was kind of cool.
Unknown: That gets reduced a lot
by getting vaccinated to free
widely available. To me, it's a
no brainer,
Adam Curry: it's a no brainer.
That's the payoff. It's a no
brainer. What's wrong with you,
you don't need a brain. In fact,
if you have no brain, it's
better that you get this shot.
But but let's talk to let's go
over to NBC stay with NBC not
the today's show. How about side
effects, you know, any issues?
And
Unknown: what about any side
effects with this one? Yeah,
they're supposed to mirror
previous versions of the the
COVID shot.
You might have a sore arm
fatigue, nausea, headache,
even fever. In some cases,
some people have learned by now
whether there's someone who
should take the day off the next
day because more of a reaction
to the shot. It seems to be
different for everyone, right? I
remember I was a little sick,
but not too bad after you know.
All right, Erica, thank
you so much. Appreciate it.
Adam Curry: Thank you. Why don't
we ask Dr. Fauci about side
effects. Let's just ask him on
ABC This Week.
Unknown: So what's your sense,
obviously those that are in high
risk categories, but who, who
should be taking that booster?
You know, I don't I don't want
to get ahead of the ACI P in
their recommendation, my own
personal feeling is that I
believe certainly those who are
vulnerable, the elderly, and
those with underlying conditions
will vary. But I believe we
should give the choice to people
who are not in the high risk
groups to have the vaccine
available for them. Because,
again, we have experience with
this type of vaccine in billions
of people. It's a safe vaccine,
of course, with the mRNA there's
a very, very, very low risk it
particularly in young men of
getting a myocarditis.
Adam Curry: Oh, wait, I don't
remember that in the beginning.
And but that's a very, very,
very, very, very, very low risk,
particularly in young men, but
it's very, very, very, very,
very low risk.
Unknown: It's a safe vaccine. Of
course, with the mRNA. There's a
very, very, very low risk very,
very, very, very, it
particularly in young men of
getting a myocarditis, but if
you look at the risk of
myocarditis from COVID, itself
is greater than the risk of the
vaccine. Okay, and so from my
own personal standpoint, yeah, I
don't make it available for
everyone, but certainly
recommended for the high risk
people,
Adam Curry: ya know, you get,
you get myocarditis from COVID,
not from the vaccine from COVID.
From COVID. This guy is a liar.
And now I thought
John C Dvorak: he was retired.
My understanding was, and I've
said it before, yes, he is a few
months back, he quit the job
he's done. He's not why is he
still on TV constantly? Because
he
Adam Curry: gets paid to do
that. He's he is a full fledged
employee of the pharmaceutical
industry. He gets he actually
still gets royalties just
because you no longer with NIH
doesn't mean you don't get the
royalties that goes on in
perpetuity. He still
John C Dvorak: doesn't mean he
has to be on TV once you just go
home and collect royalties, cash
checks,
Adam Curry: are you seriously
asking me why he's on TV? The
man sells? Come on. He's
America's he's, he's the COVID
patron saint. We trust him. The
mask though the Cochrane study.
That's a bit of a problem. And
we're almost out of time. But I
want to ask you a
Unknown: new study out that
suggested masks we're actually
not effective, at least in a
global sense. And
Adam Curry: remember that, oh,
it's local level. They're
effective, but not on a global
level and
Unknown: containing the
pandemic? What what is your
sense looking back at all this?
Did masks proved to be less
effective than you anticipated?
Oh, you know, John, is some of
the studies that confusing the
study that recently has been now
quoted a lot and causing a lot
of confusion, confusion is this
Cochrane study, which even the
people who run the Cochrane
studies say that that study can
be misleading, because Pingree
commented on that study saying
absolutely masks don't work.
Which is absolutely not the
case. Because there are a number
of studies that actually do
work. And there's a lot of
confusion. When you take a
broad, a series of studies and
you look at them in a meta
analysis, only a couple of those
studies, were specifically
looking at COVID. So I think we
better be careful that that
study that people keep talking
about can be very, very
misleading. There's a lot of
good data, that masks work
Adam Curry: well. Okay. So
that's just that's just
wastewater of the mouth because
you said nothing. Wouldn't it be
nice if we could hear from the
man who actually ran that study
who's behind the study? Dr.
Jefferson, because there's no
confusion in his mind about the
Cochrane study. And I'll give it
to Smerconish from CNN for
bringing this guy on and saying,
what's the deal with your study?
Why is it so controversial,
which I don't think it is. But
according to Dr. Fauci is, ya
know, can be misinterpreted is
very confused. Even the people
that ran the study say it's
confusing. The
Unknown: Cochrane reports
physical interventions to
interrupt or reduce the spread
of respiratory viruses was
published earlier this year. An
aggregate analysis of scientific
studies on the efficacy of masks
Dr. Lena Wen in The Washington
Post is called Cochrane, a
highly reputable source. Its
systemic reviews are considered
the gold standard of medical
analysis. So I thought I would
go to the source, the first
author of The Cochrane study and
hear his side of the
controversy. Dr. Tom Jefferson
joins me now he's an
epidemiologist and senior
associate tutor at the
University of Oxford. Do masks
work, in your opinion in
stopping the spread of COVID.
We've got three SARS cov, two,
three trials of SARS cov two and
now I'm showing the effect it is
is impossible to show that
something doesn't work in this
case. And we science adopts a
probabilistic approach. So it's
a chance approach. Is it more
likely than not? At the moment?
There is no evidence that that
is the case. Which Mark mask
against which oxygen, there's
hundreds of pathogens. So that's
a situation.
Adam Curry: I have to say this
worries me when you bring in the
divorce check. There's no
evidence, like, I don't know, I
don't know how to interpret
that. But we can ask even more
clearly, can you say with
certainty that masks don't work?
Unknown: So I'm hoping to bring
clarity to viewers because it's
very hard to follow as lay
people. It sounds to me, Dr.
Jefferson, as you are saying, We
don't know. And by the way, when
I when I look at the author's
conclusion, and I'll put this on
the screen, the authors, the
author's can conclusion from the
most recent of these flat out
says there is uncertainty about
the effects of face masks. I
don't want people to think that
you're here saying they don't
work. It sounds to me like
you're here saying, I can't tell
you if they do, or they don't
work. But please speak for
yourself.
You're correct. I can't tell you
whether they work or don't work.
But it's more likely than not
that they they don't work. Okay,
based on but this is not just
against SARS, cov to COVID, the
COVID pathogens, we're looking
at interventions over a 78
trials over 50 years, a whole
review is over half a million
participants in these trials.
Now, the underlying problem that
you've got there is that people
are drunk with certainty.
They're told that something
works into the story. That's not
science. what science is about
is is likely or unlikely to work
or we can't find any evidence of
it.
Adam Curry: Okay, so what is it
if it's not science, it's
politics, the hospitalization
numbers that we've seen, sorry.
That was, was
John C Dvorak: well, you know,
talking about politics are you
bringing in COVID in politics?
Are you familiar with what's
going on in New York with
quarantine camps?
Adam Curry: No goodness, do you
have a clip of this? Tell me you
have a clip. I have to thank
you. Masks don't work by the
way. Quarantine camps
Unknown: New York State is still
fighting for the right to set up
quarantine camps. Today. The
battle entered the next phase
when the court heard oral
arguments in that case,
quarantine camps in the state of
New York Governor Kathy Hoko and
Attorney General Letitia James
want to implement rule 2.13. It
will give the state's Department
of Health the power to forcibly
isolate individuals suspected of
carrying a transmittable
disease.
This is truly about being able
to control citizens for any
reason.
New York State Senator George
perello and lead attorney Bobby
and Cox sued the state over the
rule and won the case last year.
However, the state appealed and
on Wednesday, attorneys made
their case before an appeals
court.
The rule says the commissioner
of health can pick any place
that the Commissioner of Health
wants to put you. You have no
say.
As you can see, in this clip,
hundreds of people showed up at
the court protesting the idea of
quarantine camps set up to stop
the spread of communicable
diseases. Senator, the COVID
pandemic is over. Why does the
state of New York still want to
have the right to set up these
camps?
Well, first and foremost, we
have to remember even though the
governor and the Attorney
General tried to make this about
COVID
The senator says the state's
rule would apply to a long list
of diseases not just COVID.
It goes everything from toxic
shock syndrome to food
poisoning. And while food
poisoning might be a serious
condition, it is not
communicable.
Adam Curry: Wait is toxic shock
syndrome communicable. No,
that's that this Who is this
guy.
John C Dvorak: He's telling you
what this. What this would Coco
wants to do is take people off
the streets, grab them and throw
them into a quarantine camp for
good reason.
Adam Curry: That's right, New
York. goober Allah's,
Unknown: the senator says New
York's executive branch is
overreaching by trying to
implement this rule. According
to him, the state's proposed
rule is basically a copy of a
previous proposal, which didn't
get any support from state
lawmakers and thus didn't become
law.
But what the event essentially
says if the legislature isn't
going to make this law, we will.
So it's a very clear violation
of separation of powers. The
lead
attorney in the case points out
a few things in the state's
rule, which he says are against
the law.
According to the rule, you would
not get an attorney until after
you're locked up. But you also
wouldn't get notice, which means
that the Department of Health
could show up at your door or
they could send the police with
an order that you need to
isolate or quarantine. And it
could be not just for you it
could be for your child.
Meanwhile, the state argues that
its proposed rule only clarifies
existing law. Supporters of the
rules say quarantine measures
are being used in states around
the US and have been used for
centuries.
Adam Curry: Wow, I'm gonna give
you I'm gonna give you a clip of
the day for that. Wow. Wow. Wow
that is that's borderline
upsetting only because I have a
stepdaughter in New York
John C Dvorak: that they get
grab her and throw her in the
camp.
Adam Curry: This is part of the
International Health Regulations
um, did tell you this, they want
it they want so much control
just like this nut job in New
Mexico under health regulations
once you know bands yawns it's
bad. Yeah, health regulation.
Oh, no, we gotta lock you up.
Luckily, there's one sane voice
among the sea of horrible,
horrible people. And that's Fran
Drescher. And I knew I liked
her. And I liked her even more
after seeing this on Instagram,
Unknown: as the President of sag
AFTRA, it has been my obligation
to follow the board's decision
to support the employers
privilege to vaccine mandate
productions, as they so pleased,
as Fran Drescher as well as the
president of sag AFTRA. I have
been outspoken, publicly, as
well as with my board, and
executive director in defense of
those members who are
unvaccinated for a myriad of
reasons. And as a consequence,
has lost their livelihoods,
their representation and their
health benefits. The reason that
there are so many prescriptive
drugs at the pharmacy is because
there isn't one kind that works
for everyone. So to think that
every human on the planet can
take one vaccine is ludicrous,
other crimes and make that one
vaccine, the criteria for who is
allowed to work, travel, dine,
go to theater, etc, is an
infringement on the Disabilities
Act, the freedom of religion
act, and body sovereignty. We as
a nation must be very careful
that fear does not turn into
fascism. When equal citizens
stop being equal, when cards
must be presented to identify
whether you are included or
excluded. We stand at a tipping
point of an America I no longer
recognize. And even though I
myself am vaccinated, I must
applaud Disney for taking the
position not to vaccine mandate
their sets and the longer the
problem with discrimination is
that there will always be good
people who justify it because of
an extreme condition. But it is
those times especially when we
must fight even harder to
protect the sanctity of freedom
for all never succumb to an us
versus them mentality. Above all
else, Freedom peace
Adam Curry: I liked that. That
John C Dvorak: bill she's always
been demanded mandatory
vaccines.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but she she
brought in a lot of other she
she brought in the cards and the
others and that was good. She's
got a target on her back now but
that was good.
John C Dvorak: She's gonna be
vote are out. Now. I
Adam Curry: think she just I
think she did. She just got
reelected. I don't think she did
this before her reelection. That
will be crazy. No, I liked that.
There was a sane voice I liked
she threw in a little nanny.
That's ludicrous. She
John C Dvorak: threw it
Adam Curry: like that. And you
know what else I like saying to
you in the morning the man who
just put the sea in the
quarantine camps ladies and
gentlemen say hello to my friend
on the other end the one and
only Mr. John
Unknown: Green Marine
Adam Curry: 1902 We have in the
troll room right now. 1902 I
think that's good for Thursday
if I'm not mistaken. 100 up,
we're up. We're up and we're
late. So it's good. We're up
we're gonna do one segment for
you all. And the trolls are
listening in Hello trolls. I do
love the trolls. Trolls think I
don't like him but I adore the
troll you're
John C Dvorak: telling me after
the show.
Adam Curry: I adore them because
they keep me on edge keep me
riled up at one I need it and,
and they give me a good one
liners that give me some some
duds and some bombs, but I'll
try them all Thank you, trolls.
And you too can be a part of
that but going to troll room.io
We send out a bad signal before
we actually when we're playing
the fat lady before the show. I
know politically incorrect but
she's fat she sings we have. And
also you can get an alert on a
modern podcast app dump all
those old ones I'm telling you
now. They're all going to be
controlled eventually if they
already are, but it's just gonna
get worse. podcast apps.com We
recommend today pod verse
because it will give you an
alert when we fire up that bad
signal so far. It's the only one
that's done that but a lot of
them have the live stream. And
and of course you can jump into
troll room as well. And you can
follow us on no agenda
social.com If you want, which is
still the outpost on the on the
Fetty verse the mastodon now, we
used to be able to follow
journalists on a mastodon.
They're all gone. They all left
their blue sky. We're still the
outpost the holdouts, the
holdouts of free speech, had no
agenda social.com Follow Jhansi
Dvorak at origin, the social.com
adamant what huh? What are? What
are? What? What
John C Dvorak: on that? I was
just thinking about I was
noticing that the phone was
disconnected in a way that is
not what I expected.
Adam Curry: Wow, okay. Hmm,
indeed. Thank you for listening
to my rant there. I appreciate
that. It was good read. You
notice we don't have any people
coming on telling us to be, you
know, to with big pitches on on
getting the VAX or any other
kinds of corporate creepy
corporate money that slides in?
No, no, in fact, we haven't
taken a break for over two
hours. Whereas if you're
listening to the radio, you
would have had heard at least 20
minutes time, 40 minutes of
commercials, none of that. We
didn't ask you to go to a
Patreon for some premium
content. All the premium is
right here up front. There's
nothing that you can't get to
for free. We do think is
valuable. And we appreciate that
if you feel value has been
received on your end, you send
that back to us with time talent
or treasure. Many ways you can
do this you can tell someone
about the show. That's that's
hitting people in the mouth is a
big part of it. You can also
create jingles get clips to us
do boots on the ground, so many
ways you can participate. One of
the things we love the most is
very talented artists. And these
artists listen to the show live
that one of those 19 102 people
today, and they are trying to
come up with outstanding artwork
that will fit perfectly with
this episode because the Muller
report, the Muller report shows
that a good piece of art gets
people interested reminds them
that we are the best podcast in
the universe, because we had the
best podcast art in the
universe. And we'd like to thank
the artists who brought us the
artwork for episode 1589
misidentified I might might
point out the my opening of the
last show as 1598 for some
reason. Oh, oh, yeah. In
blender. Yeah. I'm from the
future. And as
John C Dvorak: you know, 5098
Adam Curry: COVID v 90 idea.
Yeah. As from the future. I'm 10
episodes in the future is
John C Dvorak: dyslexic future
the
Adam Curry: Exactly. The artwork
came to us from Kenny Ben Dame
Kenny, Ben. And she brought us
and exactly as you predicted,
John, some people thought it was
about the football match. This
was the Bama pencil. Very short,
stubby, thin, pencil. Bomber
bomber.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, a lot of
people's Crimson Tide.
Adam Curry: A lot of people
thought it was about that. Many
people realized there was about
the donation segment on the last
show of which one complained.
Only one complaint I was
surprised. You said it wasn't. I
thought there'll be many more.
Only one complaint and that time
she
John C Dvorak: gets because
there's only one guy listening.
Adam Curry: It was a she? She
only one guy listening. Yes, I
got that note. Yeah. But she she
said she just turned off the
donation segment and then she
came back so that's good news. I
understand. I understand why
that was harsh. She was tough to
listen to. Um, there were a
number of choices that we could
make. We had to make one of
course. So we thank all of the
artists let's see what we were
looking at. What do we have to
work with? What's your fav this
one right off the bat? It was my
fav yes. No doubt.
John C Dvorak: was a lot of
Kennedy's playing tennis which
is funny. Yeah. A few cheesecake
things here and there.
Adam Curry: Shall Obama Big
Mike.
John C Dvorak: Mike, it's not
gonna happen. It's not gonna
happen. There really wasn't a
lot of competitive wasn't
anything that really stood want
to do you Who's? No that was
going to work?
Adam Curry: No. No, I did like
correct the record who had a guy
holding up a sign saying Obama's
Dong is more interesting than
clips about Africa. That was
funny message
John C Dvorak: just a message to
you was really submission wasn't
meant as art allows us to do
that all the time. I don't know.
There was another artist that
used to send us messages by
turning in art with a note
somebody holding a note which
was complaining about something.
Adam Curry: I don't remember who
that was. But it's okay. Sir net
net did a trans mouse thing I
mean, it's I think that you want
something like the what I liked
about Dame Kenny Benz is you
didn't have to hear the show to
know that something was up. And
it was mysterious because as a
Bama as an Alabama is Bama as an
Obama. No it was it was very
popped and really pop it was a
hand drawn pencil. It wasn't a
picture of it wasn't clipart so
it was it was I thought it was a
very good piece. I really loved
it. So net net threw in a freeze
peach but now no one will get
that and J con sketch did a
sketch But nope, nope, not and I
like that. You're doing
sketches, but that wasn't the
one so clearly named Kenny. Ben.
She for the wind. How are we on
the on the leaderboard? Where's
Dame Kenny mentioned number
five. Number five for the past
year of the top 10 That's pretty
good. Network still number one
Taunton Neil number two capillus
agenda number three, Nikko sign
number four. There she is named
Kenny BIM. Number five. Thank
you to all of our artists for
really giving it the Yeoman's
try, but only one can win and
we're happy to credit that
artist in the in our show notes
which we do diligently thank you
again. Damn Kenny. Bam. Now to
the ever important treasurer
part of how you can send back
value to the no agenda show. We
have a couple of executive and
Associate Executive producers to
thank a number of them becoming
knights and ordains today
kicking off do you have this
note? This note here? The first
one is from anonymous. Do you
have this note John Yeah, behind
you. I
John C Dvorak: have it right in
front of me.
Adam Curry: Okay, tell me about
this note because it was a doozy
of a donation 22 I have the note
how 22 a massive row of ducks
John C Dvorak: yes anonymous in
the morning boys please accept
his row of ducks value tu tu tu
tu tu tu tu I was hitting them
out two years ago by Sir son of
the fort and have rarely missed
a show since but I have never
contributed until now. Well
that's how you do it. Yeah, so I
need a solid D douching.
Adam Curry: Sorry, hold on
douching here you've been d do
solid totally solid.
John C Dvorak: Thank you for all
your work on the greatest
podcast in the universe your
deconstruction of the media and
news is refreshing I believe
it's a row of ducks gives me
both executive producer and full
knighthood status correct if
approved please Knight me as sir

first. Here we go. Have a great
day. What even was that? Have a
great day. Have a great day
gaming? hanggang not a mine
wins. Science is awesome. That
wins.
John C Dvorak: They both suck.
Continuous stinks. Mine sucks a
little less than having seen we
should play are we evergreen or
something? That thing is no
good. An evergreen
Adam Curry: Who has ever heard
of an ISO evergreen?
Unknown: Hmm, Nailed it. Nailed
it.
How about that? No, I
John C Dvorak: don't want to
play that again. We just played
it. Okay, well, let
Adam Curry: me go to the real
evergreens. All right. Let's go
here. What do we have? Nope,
nope. No, no, no, no. Oh, here's
one for you. Yes, my fat. No.
Okay, so we have a winner
John C Dvorak: Wow. Needle
before we wait, before we go to
tips. I gotta read a note that
just came in from a woman
talking about her neighborhood
library. So who do you give
candidate a bad time on a read?
This is not good. Okay. Hello,
our neighborhood librarian
Grandview view Missouri removed
everything published before nine
2005.
Adam Curry: Through what was
what happened in 2008.
John C Dvorak: A few years ago,
they quote unquote, donated it
to Amazon. Wow, I was so upset.
I asked the librarian if there'd
be any classics left. She said
Yeah, but only if it was an
edition published after 2005.
When she goes home with a second
note. She gave me an example of
not needing old editions of
textbooks. For example, I
thought the library should be a
place where you could compare
textbook changes throughout the
years. So many books we loved
were gone. Great show today,
Crystal.
Adam Curry: Thank you, Crystal.
I'm concerned. You know, we're
Cavalier. And we're kind of
laughing about all this. I know
it. But yes, this is a real
problem. And the taking what is
going on? Is Hitler coming back?
What's going on? Taking books
out of the library, but before
2008? I need to know from any
Canada, Canadian librarian,
anyone who knows why 2008? What
is the deal with that date?
John C Dvorak: And yeah,
especially the candidate with
the 2005 is another date. Again,
these are this is like 21st
century did you think the
library the idea of a library is
to have stuff that you could go
there that you normally can't
just get? Because it's new? If
it's new, you just buy it from
Amazon?
Adam Curry: Yeah. I mean, it's
not like we're talking about a
school library. This is just
library. Yeah, this
John C Dvorak: is a real
library. It's an
Adam Curry: actual library. I
need to rely,
John C Dvorak: I think people
should do people should get get
out of the house, and check
their local library and ask
around about these these, these
old books. I know. Some
libraries like my local library
and University California
Library. When you go into the
main areas, there'd be a big
pile of books that they're
selling, they'll sell you books
for 50 cents or $1 of books are
taken off the shelves. But in
the case of like the University
of California, for example,
those books have all been
scanned. They're all online.
Adam Curry: I have never boots
on the ground report that is
troubling from Massachusetts. In
the morning boys quick update
from the horrible state of Texas
UCITS. My cousin is set to get
married over Columbus Day
weekend. The groom's family is
from out of town and they rented
two floors of a hotel so they
could all be together for the
weekend. Governor Healy just
seized the hotel to house
migrants. So they've lost their
reservations. There's nowhere
else to say on top of it. All
the hotels that are housing
migrants are having fires,
assaults, etc. It's a nightmare.
Thank you for your courage,
Alex.
John C Dvorak: Tonight I think,
Unknown: man, that sucks.
Adam Curry: I mean, it's an
outrage these this is
John C Dvorak: reading and they
that is an outrage
Adam Curry: update from one of
our many mail carriers as we've
learned throughout the years
mail carriers who work for the
USPS. They love listening to
podcasts, because that's what
you do when you're pushing
around and delivering mail. Then
we know the main problems with
their new fangled systems for
for pay last any end and this
mail carrier sent me a copy of
his pay stub that says $0 last
pay period 50% of carriers
reported not being paid
correctly. Many had problems
with management's quick fix.
money orders weren't being
recognized by banks and had
delays or the wrong number of
values inputted, banks thought
they were fake. this pay period
there were at least 15%
reporting that this check is
missing. It goes back to my
email about the union being mad
that the carrier's wanted to do
a new union. Yet every day on
the scanners we use the USPS
brags of record revenue profit.
And there's a non government
strike clause which would send
employees to jail if they strike
over being paid $0. But of
course late fees rack up for
mortgage and credit cards, and
no one cares about our our mail
carriers are in trouble.
John C Dvorak: They're trying to
get rid of the United Postal
Service, the Zack Boehner the
country that is in the
Constitution, one of the few
things that is actually required
to be in existence, as opposed
to the Department of Education,
as you mentioned earlier. And in
fact, I do have some Vivec going
off the rails clips about hidden
wanting to get rid of a bunch of
employees. And this is the most
ludicrous commentary this night.
I mean, it's maybe you can get a
vote or two. But this is a pipe
dream. But you have to listen to
these VEC Ramaswamy clips.
Unknown: Republican presidential
candidate Vivec Ramaswamy is
laying out his plan to cut the
federal government and the loss
to back him up. He says hit
Start by cutting federal
employees by 75% and shutting
down several agencies.
Adam Curry: Wow. All right.
Good. Hey, I'm all in on Bovec
now All right, make that happen.
5%. That's a that's a
John C Dvorak: really every one
of these bullshit artists they
come in. They promised this that
they don't cut it one person,
you can take that to the bank.
Yeah, yeah, let's play that part
to
Unknown: people who we elect to
run the government ought to be
the ones who actually run the
government.
Speaking at the America First
policy institute on Wednesday,
Republican presidential
candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said
the balance of power in America
has changed over the years
three letter government agencies
that wield the most political
power in the federal government,
despite having the least
political accountability through
unelected bureaucrats who have
no backstop of actually being
accountable to the public.
And he laid forth his plans to
restore the constitutional
republic taking aim at the size
of the federal workforce as well
as certain government agencies.
First, it will be
a plan that reduces the size of
the Federal Employee headcount
by over 75%. If I'm the next
President, by the end of my
first term, 50% of which is
implementable by the end of year
one,
some would argue that the
President doesn't have that
power. But Ramaswamy said,
that's only a myth. And he read
from the 1977 Reorganization
Act, which says the President
does indeed have that authority
to reduce the
number of agencies by
consolidating those having
similar functions under a single
head and to abolish. That's not
my word. That is a word in the
statute. To abolish such
agencies or functions thereof.
Ramaswamy said he'd start with
the FBI and he cited information
about the bureau from the
Pulitzer Prize winning book G
Man
the same one that used illegally
collected tapes to threat
threaten Martin Luther King Jr.
into committing suicide they
tried to do is now being used to
target political opponents of a
different persuasion. Wow.
John C Dvorak: I know he's
picked up the cadence of of a
southern preacher.
Adam Curry: Yes.
John C Dvorak: Have you noticed
this? Yes.
Adam Curry: Good catch. Agree
got
John C Dvorak: that that the
very precise again, I use the
word precise pronunciation of
certain words, ending with hard
sounds. And it just sounds like
a preacher and he's getting it.
He's sounding more like a
preacher than he's ever sounded
before. Especially in these
clips. I think there's one left.
Yes, there is.
Unknown: And he explained what
shutting down On the Bureau,
which has about 35,000 employees
would look like
they're gonna go home when we
shut it down and find honest
work in the private sector. But
15,000 of those employees are
going to be reorganized into the
US Marshals into the Financial
Crimes Enforcement Network at
the US Treasury into other parts
of the DEA that are taken on the
drug enforcement that drug
enforcement problems that we
have in this country.
He also said he had shut down
the Department of Education.
This is an agency that spends
approximately an $80 billion
budget per year telling local
schools that they can't get
those federal funds unless they
adopt toxic racial and gender
ideologies.
Some of the other departments
Ramaswamy said he had shut down
or the ATF and the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission
Adam Curry: ah, well at least he
spicing things up. Well, I
John C Dvorak: swinging for the
fences with this one.
Adam Curry: What does he remind
him? What does he remind? He
kind of reminds me in a way he
reminds me of somebody I can't
quite figure it out. He
John C Dvorak: reminds me of a
number a number of southern
preachers. Well, yeah, there's
that
Adam Curry: there's that that
you know, Fredericksburg is
actually kind of interesting.
They have we have a tax
increase. It's being voted on
Tuesday a man people are gonna
go they're gonna go to the
council meeting and
John C Dvorak: because the
property tax
Adam Curry: Yeah, and it's it's
tax. It's, well, you know, it's
property tax. It's supposed to
be inflation plus increase in
population is way above that.
And people are because I think
the main a big revenue source
for people in Fredericksburg is
Bnbs. So they have a second
home. And you know, they're
being priced out of it, of being
able to provide that yes,
John C Dvorak: the desert that's
not just Fredericksburg, believe
me. No,
Adam Curry: no, it's not but I
live here. And it's fun to watch
because people are taking it to
their city council and that's
that's what has to happen
everywhere. You got to you got
to do local stuff. You know,
instead of going on x and
complaining, complaining on X so
fair, I don't like it is not
good. All right. Well, that was
good. I don't I actually am out
of clips. I don't I mean,
anything that's worthwhile
unless you got something that we
John C Dvorak: can like, get the
clips about the White House
pushing back on the impeachment.
We can talk about it all. Yeah,
I do have one clip. That's good.
Okay. One just because this is a
galling clip. It turns out that
Californians don't really want
to pay reparations to every
black ex ajosh. You know, one
time slave. No, of course,
California wasn't even a slave
state. But let's play the
reparations clip.
Adam Curry: They all they went
all in when it was you know,
virtue signaling. But now it's
like, hey, let's have a vote.
Unknown: Most Californians are
against cash reparations for
residents who are descended from
slaves. A recent poll reveals
that conservatives are pretty
united in the opposition, while
liberals are mixed entities.
Aileen Aang has more.
According to a recent poll by UC
Berkeley's Institute of
governmental studies are IGS.
The majority of California
voters are opposed to cash
reparations payments to black
residents. 59% of voters oppose
the state reparations task force
recommendation to make cash
payments to the descendants of
enslaved blacks currently living
in California. Of those who
oppose 44% are strongly against
the idea. Democrats and liberals
were divided while Republicans
and conservatives were nearly
unanimous in their opposition.
However, most voters agree that
the legacy of slavery is
affecting the position of black
Californians. According to the
IGs co-director While many can
empathize with the plight of
black Americans. Not all of
these feelings will translate
into support for policies that
address long standing racial
harms. In 2020. Governor Gavin
Newsom created the nation's
first reparations Task Force to
calculate the costs of slavery
and racism and how to make up
two black Californians. In July
the taskforce proposed over 100
recommendations and a 1000 page
document. It also recommends the
state pay over 225 billion in
reparations
John C Dvorak: oh that's the
problem
Adam Curry: Oh virtue signaling
all this hopefully
John C Dvorak: Why don't end it
why don't the states that you
actually had slaves? I'm looking
at you North Carolina. cough up
some dough. Why a weaves you
stuck with the bill. That ain't
worried that's not flying.
Adam Curry: No, no, no, they're
gonna start handing out money to
LGBTQ to spirit. That's the new
voting blocks. That's the one go
24
John C Dvorak: Hey, what does
the Two Spirit for shouldn't get
two checks to
Adam Curry: you get not only
that they get two votes. Likely
that now there's something
there's something your Two
Spirit you get to vote twice
John C Dvorak: as in California
they've already been voting
twice.
Adam Curry: Yes, we know. DS
