0:21
Adam curry, and
0:22
John C Dvorak: from Northern
Silicon Valley words another
0:24
nice day. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Buzzkill.
0:30
Adam Curry: show prep is hard,
man. It's a grind. It's a grind
0:34
to
0:34
John C Dvorak: tell you this
year, June where we normally
0:37
have a kind of a mild summer is
and then it gets cold is,
0:42
especially in July. It was
miserable last year. It was
0:47
gloomy every day of June I
bitched and moaned about initial
0:50
state cold, it didn't warm up
until October. Did you go back
0:55
two years more normal?
0:56
Adam Curry: Did you go back in
your diary and look it up?
0:59
John C Dvorak: No, I remember
it. It was so miserable.
1:02
Adam Curry: Before we started a
couple of couple by
1:05
John C Dvorak: the way, wait,
wait. I advice to people out
1:08
there who are younger.
Especially if you're going to be
1:11
a writer that's ever for anybody
just just to be an even a normal
1:15
person. Do a diary. Do
1:17
Adam Curry: a diary. Do a diary.
Yes, I do a diary. Do you do a
1:21
diary? No,
1:23
John C Dvorak: I wish I did what
you can.
1:24
Adam Curry: It's never too late
to start.
1:26
John C Dvorak: It's too late to
start.
1:28
Adam Curry: Do you know that I
still have diaries.com and that
1:32
every day someone asked to buy
that from me
1:35
John C Dvorak: what you have
diaries.com?
1:37
Adam Curry: I do? I do. But no
one ever no one ever hits my
1:41
number. They're like, yeah, and
the worst is like
1:43
John C Dvorak: what do you tell
us what the number is publicly
1:45
and maybe somebody will
1:46
Unknown: one Bitcoin? 10 That's
too low. No
1:52
Adam Curry: one's ever even
bitten for that.
1:55
John C Dvorak: You're now my
official art.com sold for
1:58
Adam Curry: it. That's art.com
that's not diaries.com.
2:06
John C Dvorak: Teto $1 million.
2:10
Adam Curry: Okay. Oh, if you can
get a million dollars, we'll
2:12
give you half.
2:14
Unknown: Okay. Oh,
2:16
Adam Curry: all of a sudden,
JCPS Oh, I have to make an
2:21
announcement. During this
program. Our troll fact checkers
2:24
will be muting our mics if
either of us starts to spew
2:27
disinformation? Or if we're
talking over each other.
2:31
John C Dvorak: Well, I tell you,
then how they could possibly be
2:34
mute. Out of the blue? Because I
think it would sound terrible.
2:38
Adam Curry: That's really funny.
That's a good gag. John, I'd
2:42
like to do that is very funny.
Two other mentions, I have to
2:51
let you know. We discussed on
the previous episode about my
2:57
hard drive. In the Beelink.
3:01
John C Dvorak: You Yes, we did.
3:03
Adam Curry: And I of course had
ordered a replacement drive. I
3:06
had the connectors I'm ready to
do the the what is it? The
3:10
ghosting and yesterday I didn't
do any i I'll tell you why I
3:15
didn't do anything on Tuesday,
Wednesday morning. I walk in and
3:19
it fails.
3:21
John C Dvorak: is done is tele
we talked about last show at the
3:24
end of the show in the miracle
blur. And that may may occur
3:26
with the post mortem where we
talk about you
3:30
Adam Curry: said what do we want
we talked about on the show. We
3:32
talked about this about this
drive. And then I had to get a
3:34
new drive and I didn't even have
time to do it. It failed on
3:38
Wednesday. So I'm running on the
backup machine. The whole
3:42
Beelink is toast. I don't think
I can I don't think I can bring
3:46
that drive back to life.
Probably not. And then so I open
3:51
up this Beelink thinking oh,
this might as well do it. And
3:57
then you open it up. You open
the bottom. It's like oh,
3:59
there's a nice little slot for
there's no drive in there. No,
4:02
no, you've got to open it. You
got to break this whole case.
4:05
John C Dvorak: That's for an add
on driving. I
4:09
Adam Curry: know but it's not
like the easiest to get this
4:12
thing out of the Beelink it
sucks. I'm sad I ever took your
4:15
advice to get one. I have to
4:18
John C Dvorak: I had to be
linked at the same thing
4:19
happened. I have. I have another
one now. Same thing happened. I
4:23
too. I warned you about getting
it out of there as fast as you
4:26
could which you didn't, which I
did. I
4:29
Adam Curry: was like I was going
as fast as I could, which I did.
4:33
It wasn't fast enough. But
4:34
John C Dvorak: getting the drive
in and out of that thing is not
4:37
that hard. It's not like a
miserable. Let
4:39
Adam Curry: me ask you a
question. Does the Beelink that
4:42
failed on you? Does that contain
the password to divorce.org/na?
4:46
Is that? Is that the drive that
failed? Why? Well because you're
4:54
unable to change that.
4:57
John C Dvorak: Well, all I know
is this was over probably a year
4:59
and a half Two years ago, so I
don't remember who probably had
5:02
a password or two on it, but it
was beside the point. I'm more
5:05
cautious now and I back
everything up. I'm
5:07
Adam Curry: very cautious so I'm
now I'm running on the on the
5:10
surface eight. Which, who knows
how those things were that thing
5:15
that you can do anything with
that drive? It's baked in there.
5:19
It's solid
5:20
John C Dvorak: baked. Yeah,
that's the idea. That way the
5:23
whole machine is toast you can't
change anything or fix it and
5:26
then the other just shouldn't be
illegal.
5:29
Adam Curry: Just a minor
announcement. I had a
5:33
periodontal procedure on
Tuesday, so I'm a bit swollen
5:36
and and it only luckily it only
really hurts when I really
5:40
laugh, but I had a bone graft so
5:45
Unknown: some compassion please
5:50
John C Dvorak: I'm supposed to
completely eliminate my humorous
5:54
one liners and the rest
5:55
Adam Curry: It's already hurting
stop
5:58
John C Dvorak: you stop laugh I
told him throw some willpower
6:04
man
6:04
Adam Curry: I told him I say
can't we do this you know after
6:07
the show on Thursday said no no
no Adam there's there's a I got
6:11
a cocktail party this is a
special on Hamas bone this month
6:14
so we might as well do it now.
Hey, oh, there it is. If you
6:19
hear me go Allahu Akbar. You'll
know why I don't
6:22
John C Dvorak: understand where
they probably put the implant I
6:24
don't understand it probably
microphone is now in your mouth.
6:27
Oh
6:27
Adam Curry: it's it's the
implant is already in there I
6:30
did some bone graft that arm
because the bone microphone
6:34
John C Dvorak: grafted on
6:38
Adam Curry: okay, you can just
listen to the podcast you don't
6:40
need to be listening to my built
in grafted microphone. While we
6:45
John C Dvorak: get that way they
can they can pick up what we say
6:47
after the show which is not
broadcast. Oh, yeah.
6:50
Adam Curry: Well, which is
mainly consists of you saying?
6:54
Told you so told you. Is it a
6:58
John C Dvorak: nice try. That's
you.
7:01
Adam Curry: Anyway, today every
everybody in M five M land is
7:04
all GD all jacked up. Oh, it's
the big day. It's debate day.
7:11
John C Dvorak: Today's big day,
7:12
Adam Curry: it's the big day.
It's a big day. It kind of
7:16
overshadows Assange. To be fair
about Assange
7:20
John C Dvorak: was I think it's
almost timed that were I think
7:23
they why did they release
Assange during this like last
7:27
week? I have a I have a series
of Assange clips. By the way, if
7:30
you want to talk about
7:31
Adam Curry: let me do a
background and then you play
7:33
your Assange clips. This is a
shorty Julian Assange
7:35
Unknown: spent the day traveling
video released by his team
7:39
documenting his journey today on
a private jet from the UK to
7:42
Bangkok. And finally, the
Northern Mariana Islands, where
7:45
he's just landed. And when
appear in the US court, the
7:48
Justice Department's 18 charges
against him, including
7:52
conspiring with Army
Intelligence Officer Chelsea
7:54
Manning to hack us secrets
reduced to just one plea deal.
7:59
And he will get credit for time
served five and a half years in
8:02
a UK jail. In 2010. Assange is
WikiLeaks released a trove of
8:06
material including details of
the killing of civilians in Iraq
8:10
and Afghanistan. This the end of
a long standoff, his next will
8:14
likely be Australia, where his
wife and children are waiting
8:18
for him.
8:19
Adam Curry: I'm always baffled
why NBC has Brett's doing all
8:23
the reporting. Why don't we do
we run out of American
8:26
reporters?
8:28
John C Dvorak: There has to be
some study that was done.
8:32
Adam Curry: Yeah, it's more
serious if it's from a Brit.
8:34
Right. In
8:35
John C Dvorak: certain
instances, they felt obliged to
8:39
use Brett's because it conveys
some subtext that we don't
8:45
understand because we never saw
the study.
8:47
Adam Curry: Okay, fair enough, I
think yeah, possibly. It's a
8:51
little irksome.
8:52
John C Dvorak: It is I don't
like it either.
8:54
Adam Curry: They don't have
American journalists over there
8:56
on the BBC.
9:00
John C Dvorak: Not that I can
tell you this. I haven't seen
9:02
any.
9:02
Unknown: No. All right. So you
have some asides? If PBS
9:07
John C Dvorak: break down, okay.
And it was, it's fairly
9:11
complete, it went on and on and
on, it went a lot further. It
9:15
had the they brought in an
expert who hated Assange, and
9:20
stuff should be shot, and
answered old PBS, and some, and
9:26
this guy was like a stooge, if
there ever was I did clip it.
9:30
And then they had a counterpoint
some kind of a wimpy, freedom of
9:35
speech guy who's willing, you
know, I don't think so. So that
9:39
wasn't worth it. But I think the
overall coverage was okay, let's
9:43
go with Assange one, elitist
voices of America.
9:48
Unknown: This is NPR or PBS
9:51
WikiLeaks founder Julian
Assange, a brave whistleblower
9:55
to his allies. A national
security threat to his critics,
9:58
is on the verge of being a free
man.
10:01
Assange is pleading guilty in a
court in the Northern Mariana
10:04
Islands that's the US
commonwealth and will be
10:06
sentenced to time served
allowing him to return to his
10:09
native Australia. Nick Schifrin
is here tracking the story.
10:13
Nick,
10:13
critic Jeff Assange is notorious
for some of the largest leaks of
10:17
classified information in US
history, as well as posting
10:20
emails that played an outsized
role in the 2016 election. And
10:24
tonight, the Wikileaks founder
is ending a decade long legal
10:27
saga with us and heading home
tonight Julian Assange has brief
10:31
and final moments on US soil to
appear and perhaps the US is
10:36
most remote courthouse on the
Northern Mariana Islands. His
10:40
road to freedom began this
morning on the way to a British
10:43
airport and signing his plea
deal documents and landing in
10:47
Bangkok his first time outside
the United Kingdom in 14 years.
10:51
Court documents reveal that
Assange will plead guilty to a
10:54
single felony to receive and
obtain documents writings and
10:58
notes connected with the
National Defense including such
11:01
materials classified up to the
secret level, and willfully
11:04
communicate documents relating
to the national defense. He will
11:08
spend no time in US jail, and
more than 62 months spent in a
11:12
British prison will count for
time served allowing him to
11:15
return to his native Australia
or prime minister Anthony
11:18
Albanese today celebrated his
release regardless
11:21
John C Dvorak: of the views that
people have about Mr. Assange as
11:25
activities the case has dragged
on for too long. Yeah, yeah.
11:33
Adam Curry: Do you have any
opinion in general on the the
11:36
fact that he took a plea deal?
11:40
John C Dvorak: As it was a wise
thing to do? He wanted to get
11:42
out of there. I think there was
a couple of peculiarities I
11:48
thought since when does time
served in a British prison count
11:53
as time served in America? Are
we running the whole world like
11:57
that? So that that prison is the
same as one of ours?
12:00
Adam Curry: I could make that
case. Yeah, I could make the
12:03
case Hey, we let them do our
news. We might as well you know
12:06
control their jails
12:08
John C Dvorak: I guess so.
12:10
Adam Curry: It just seems like
on one hand because I read the
12:13
plea agreement which was quite
extensive and and of course what
12:18
really what what really isn't
discussed because we you know,
12:22
we have we're doing the show and
this came out it's only
12:25
mentioned a little bit even have
that background or clip I played
12:28
is really the horrendous video
that means I think that's really
12:32
what the big the big issue was.
12:33
John C Dvorak: I agree I that
they showed that video on this
12:37
report. Oh, they did and it
showed it a lot. Oh, okay. Yeah,
12:41
they showed that video and that
video weed let's back
12:44
Adam Curry: up but not with
audio. Audio. Were they gonna
12:47
like yeah, this audio? Yes.
Smoking really with the smoke of
12:50
milk. Wow. Okay, so they had
12:53
John C Dvorak: a video this is
everyone should know this. But
12:56
we're just going to remind
everyone that one of the first
12:59
things Wiki Leaks did that was
really pretty substantial. Was
13:04
they showed a video that was
captured. I don't know where
13:07
they got it from. One of the
choppers in this was Apache
13:12
helicopters Apache helicopter.
And was this in Iraq, Iran,
13:18
Iraq, Iraq, okay. There wasn't
Iran. Obviously, it was either
13:22
Iraq or Afghanistan. So it was
Iraq. And then they had this
13:25
video showing there was two
Reuters reporters, and they had
13:29
targeted one of them. These are
news guys. And they gunned him
13:34
down from this from the
helicopter.
13:37
Adam Curry: Oh, not even that.
But then when the ambulance
13:39
showed up, they shot the
ambulance. Yeah, they shot they
13:42
shot up to place I mean, that's
exactly what we accused the
13:45
terrorists of doing it was it
was nasty. The the chilling
13:51
John C Dvorak: and I use that
word advisedly. The chilling
13:54
aspect was the matter of fact
attitude of the of the
13:59
helicopter pilots in sight. They
didn't give a shit they were
14:02
just okay. Let's get him a smoke
them and they were just, it was
14:06
very matter of fact.
14:08
Adam Curry: Yeah. But now to be
fair, it's cold. It was cold
14:12
blooded. To be fair, when you're
in a war situation, and I've
14:16
been to Iraq during the war.
Nobody knows anything. And you
14:20
just get I mean, I can see.
14:24
John C Dvorak: I'm not gonna
argue that no, but it was to the
14:26
American public to see this,
witness it and listen to these
14:29
guys. It was hearable was to
14:32
Adam Curry: now he really only
didn't get arrested until the
14:35
Hillary and Podesta emails I
think that's that's when they
14:38
put their foot down.
14:40
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they did
that and they so they set those
14:42
they found some Swedish girls
that accused him of a row. Yeah,
14:46
there was that whole thing you
don't forget that. That's how
14:48
they got that's how he first got
his ticket in the ringer, so to
14:51
speak. And that was a fake deal.
That was some phony baloney
14:55
thing about that because they
pulled out of it after they
14:57
jailed him and then once he went
to the equity or an embassy they
15:00
could, they cancelled that part
because now he was because he
15:04
went out on bail and then jumped
into the embassy. And that meant
15:08
he was a bail for lontar. And so
now they had, they could put him
15:12
back in jail because he didn't
violate his terms of the bail it
15:17
the whole thing was just a scam.
But this report also includes
15:22
something that I thought was
very. This is classic PBS
15:26
propaganda in here, you'll hear
it, you'll catch it because I
15:30
kind of ended on one of his
notes that's played part two,
15:32
there is nothing to be gained by
his continued incarceration and
15:36
we want him brought home to
Australia, of course of the war
15:41
Unknown: needs to change. nearly
15 years ago, Assange presented
15:44
himself as the ultimate truth
teller, revealing what he called
15:47
the reality of the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan. 1007 US
15:54
military tech in Baghdad that
killed two Reuters journalists,
15:58
WikiLeaks dropped 400,000
classified documents that the
16:02
Pentagon said risk us informants
lives. They were leaked by US
16:06
Army Intelligence Analyst
Chelsea Manning, later convicted
16:09
under the Espionage Act 2010 He
was arrested by British
16:14
authorities after two Swedish
women accused him of sexual
16:17
assault charges later dropped.
And after he failed to make
16:21
bail, he fled into Ecuador's
Embassy in London, where he
16:24
remained for seven years as
WikiLeaks stands under threat.
16:29
So does the freedom of
expression. Wikileaks has
16:32
released what appears to be
transcripts in 2016, WikiLeaks
16:36
posted documents that Russian
intelligence had hacked from the
16:39
Hillary Clinton campaign.
16:43
No, that's not true.
16:45
John C Dvorak: Exactly. You
caught it. Yeah,
16:47
Adam Curry: that's not how that
went down. It was Podesta got
16:49
fished. If I recall correctly.
Well,
16:52
John C Dvorak: that was that was
one element, but we're talking
16:54
about the stuff that was taken,
believed to be taken by Seth.
16:58
Oh,
16:59
Adam Curry: Seth Rich? Oh, yes,
of course. Of course. Hey. Huh,
17:06
by the way, by the way, it was I
think that they should say, just
17:10
to be correct, because it bugs
me that he he got those
17:15
documents from Bradley Manning,
who later became Chelsea
17:19
Manning,
17:20
John C Dvorak: they should do
that. But I'm going back to this
17:22
this other issue, which was the
yes claims, because Because
17:27
Assange himself said this did
not come from the Russians. Yes.
17:32
I
17:32
Adam Curry: remember he did the
interview in the Netherlands
17:34
about he made a big fuss about
17:36
John C Dvorak: and not it's not
the Russians, and what would the
17:37
Russians got to do with it? They
didn't care. They far as they're
17:40
concerned that Hillary could
have gotten in doesn't make any
17:42
difference to them. But this is
the beginning. That was the
17:46
beginning of the Russia hoax.
Momentum began with that notion
17:52
that the Russian stoled emails
from Hillary, right, it's not.
17:57
And there's no evidence of it,
they can't prove that it's just
18:00
an assertion that the left wing
media was and and PBS made. And
18:06
they're sticking to it, because
here we are, what, a decade
18:09
later, and they're still saying
it. I find that to be abhorrent
18:16
in
18:16
Adam Curry: a Mayport. Maybe
there's another shoe to drop
18:19
somewhere?
18:20
John C Dvorak: I don't I don't
think so. I think the reason
18:22
they did this during this debate
moment is so nobody notices that
18:27
Assange has even been released.
It's really been downplayed the
18:32
Adam Curry: jet that he got on
from what I gathered was sent by
18:36
kim.com. He central that he's
the prime know that. Yeah. And
18:42
of course kim.com has all the
documents, which now some of the
18:47
Hillary emails seem to be
missing from the WikiLeaks, sir.
18:50
Well, they
18:51
John C Dvorak: took him down.
Yeah. Yeah, I think that was
18:54
part of the deal. I think that
was the unwritten part of the
18:56
deal. Yeah,
18:57
Adam Curry: it wasn't in the
written deal. So it must have
18:58
been part of it. Weird. Weird.
Yeah. That
19:01
John C Dvorak: of all those
Hillary emails are gone. I just
19:05
Adam Curry: can't help feeling
but the timing? Yeah. I don't
19:09
know. I don't know what I don't
know. I want I don't know, I
19:13
just said I don't know, you can
ask, you know, but
19:15
John C Dvorak: do you have any
idea what it means? What do you
19:17
think is it I think, any
thoughts at
19:19
Adam Curry: all? How something
with Seth Rich, there's some
19:22
remember that that, you know,
there was a server, the DNC
19:27
John C Dvorak: laptop that's
that's never been released, that
19:29
FBI took a while
19:31
Adam Curry: and went to Ukraine
to CrowdStrike. There's a lot of
19:34
messiness in this messiness. And
Lenski did just change out his
19:40
top guy once again, maybe
19:42
John C Dvorak: to put Assange
in.
19:45
Unknown: Final Report, Clinton
said it helped lead to her
19:48
defeat, he has to answer for
what he has done, at least as
19:53
it's been charged by 2019. The
US Grand jury indicted Assange
19:57
on 18 accounts, including
espionage The Embassy evicted
20:00
him and British authorities
arrested him for bail violation
20:06
of free speech Crusader to his
allies a threat to national
20:10
security to his critics. Assange
will now be able to write a new
20:14
chapter in Australia with his
wife Stella
20:17
I'll really believe it when I
have him in front of me and and
20:20
I can take him and hug him and
and then it will be real, you
20:25
know.
20:27
Adam Curry: Now of course, this
doesn't bode well for the media.
20:34
In essence this was the by
pleading guilty you know, you're
20:38
saying well, you can't publish
that that's what the whole
20:42
document is filled with. Like
this was top secret classified
20:46
you can't publish kind of this.
You can't do that. To Chris
20:49
Cuomo. Remember? Remember Cuomo
said you can't even watch that.
20:56
Unknown: Right? Yeah, I
20:57
Adam Curry: can't even read the
documents.
21:00
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I remember
that. I wish I could find that.
21:03
I wish I could. Yeah, Cuomo is
say you tell him which if you're
21:06
a spook is true, which makes it
even weirder. Yeah. See books.
21:11
If you're working for this, we
found this out from spooks. If
21:17
you're a spook, you can't can't
look at certain things that are
21:21
actually in the public domain
which has never made any sense
21:24
to me and and no one's ever
explained it fully.
21:27
Adam Curry: Well, because you
you you have to live by certain
21:29
rules. I guess. I don't have the
clip. I don't have like I wish I
21:33
had that. 30 rules or what the
rules of the of the Deep State
21:37
man the rules of the you know,
the kingdom.
21:40
John C Dvorak: Can you ever
think and funny thing? No, let's
21:43
Adam Curry: not do it. I have
one. Let me see if there's any
21:45
any different slant from a
democracy now. Morning. AMY
21:50
GOODMAN flippin bound.
21:52
Unknown: Well, WikiLeaks founder
Julian Assange is home in
21:56
Australia, a free man Assange
his arrival in Australia, and
22:02
more than 12 year legal ordeal
after he published classified
22:07
documents detailing US war
crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.
22:11
Press Freedom groups have
denounced successive US
22:14
administrations for targeting
Assange, who'd been facing 175
22:19
years and US prison if he'd been
extradited and convicted. 12
22:24
years ago this month, Assange
entered the Ecuadorian Embassy
22:29
where he was given political
asylum. He spent seven years
22:33
there. He has spent the last
five years locked up in the
22:37
harsh Belmarsh prison in London
Parsh. Earlier today, Julian
22:43
Assange flew from London to the
Pacific island of Saipan and
22:47
Northern Mariana Islands, where
he entered a US District Court
22:50
and pled guilty to a single
felony count of illegally
22:53
obtaining and disclosing
national security material. The
22:56
judge Ramona Magalona sentenced
him to the five years he'd
23:01
already spent behind bars
saying, quote, you will be able
23:05
to walk out of this courtroom of
free man, I hope there will be
23:09
some peace restored. She said.
23:13
Adam Curry: No, no, I don't see
the media going. Hey, man,
23:16
that's offsides. We should we be
able to publish what we want?
23:20
John C Dvorak: Oh, there's been
some complaining but it's been
23:23
very minor. Yeah. And it's by by
people like Tucker.
23:28
Adam Curry: You saw Tucker in
Australia? That was amazing.
23:31
John C Dvorak: Yeah, Tucker in
Australia. It's it's a long
23:33
clip. It's about 20 minutes of
this one segment the question
23:38
and answers and people should
look that up. It's on son, the
23:43
Twitter for sure. And he just
goes after some of these people
23:47
that are the Australian
journalists and it's, it's
23:51
almost like he's talking to a
robot in one or two cases where
23:54
they insult some and tell it
says they're stupid, and they
23:59
just keep asking dumb questions.
Yeah, the damnedest thing I've
24:03
ever seen. I was trying to clip
it, but I thought it was me.
24:06
Adam Curry: I even I actually
pulled the clip, but it's three
24:09
minutes, you know, it's
24:12
John C Dvorak: tight enough,
but, but he's at his best. He's,
24:15
and he's laughing it up. And
he's, he's, he's been sent there
24:20
for some something.
24:22
Adam Curry: I presume he's there
to interview Julian Assange.
24:25
John C Dvorak: That will that
was what everybody thought. And
24:28
I'm sure he will use that. But
yeah, but what is the point of
24:31
this thing that we witnessed on
the on Twitter, this this
24:34
meeting of the journalist in
Australia of him giving a
24:38
keynote or some sort of a speech
and then insulting everybody?
24:42
Adam Curry: It was a little
unclear to me if it was because
24:45
I think there are only a couple
of Australian journalists there.
24:48
I because there was a lot of
hooting and hollering and
24:50
clapping for him. So those
weren't the journalists. I'm
24:53
sure. It was unclear exactly
what that was.
24:57
John C Dvorak: It was unclear
and I wish there was more
24:58
context that they just posted
it.
25:00
Adam Curry: It's kind of nice to
see the awakening of Tucker
25:02
though. And a little I always
thought he was playing more dumb
25:07
when he was on Fox. You know
that then he was letting on but
25:09
he really he really didn't know
how bad it was. And to see this
25:14
awakening is fun, but you know,
what does it do more than Yeah,
25:18
you're showing checker. It's not
gonna change anything. Bunch of
25:21
people retweeting those, those
good change. Majority of people
25:27
still look at the news and go,
Oh, yeah, yep. Yep, that seems
25:31
about right. It does make the
news in general doesn't make for
25:36
some some funny. I mean, that's,
it helps our show a lot. Because
25:40
they are so stupid, though, is
the So tonight, we have that guy
25:45
got a number of, of like, pre
pre debate clips, just because
25:52
it's so I mean, it's so
25:57
Unknown: show businessy is very
26:00
John C Dvorak: Yeah, can I
imagine I mentioned something
26:02
here. And I do have one example.
And maybe I'll play it after you
26:04
play your clips. There has been
an inundation of produced clips,
26:12
pro Trump clips that are
attacking Joe Biden. And I think
26:19
it's borderline sick the way
they go after him. It is highly
26:24
entertaining. Hello. But it is.
Unbelievably, I would say it has
26:32
to be categorized as sick.
26:37
Adam Curry: Give me an example
of what is oh, I
26:39
John C Dvorak: don't know if I
even do I have one. I think I
26:41
think I found one. But it's all
kinds of stuff. They have just a
26:45
man on the street. There was a
whole series of this one guy
26:49
here this will live in your life
and they go from they just play
26:52
a million guy on the street. And
everybody's pro Trump black,
26:56
white, Mexican, Chinese. And it
just goes on and never ends. I'm
27:01
gonna see if I have
27:02
Adam Curry: viral clips. This is
not on the mainstream media.
27:05
This just by Oh, no, these
27:06
John C Dvorak: are all viral
clips. But they've all been very
27:08
well. They're very well
structured. Here's a talk anti
27:13
Biden clip. This is what the
typical. Okay, here we go. Look,
27:17
I'm
27:17
Unknown: not a young guy. That's
no secret. But here's the deal.
27:21
I understand how to get these
time for the illegal aliens. I
27:24
encourage the surge of illegals
at the US border, I would in
27:27
fact make sure that there is we
immediately surge to the border.
27:32
I got it done. You know how I
know the border is wide open. I
27:35
sent my girl Kamala to take care
of it. Do not come. Do not come.
27:42
I believe the job of the
president is to fight for you
27:44
with foreign invaders, then
that's what I'm doing. I'm a
27:47
complete dipshit and I approve
this message.
27:55
Adam Curry: That was good. But I
thought some of the stuff that
27:57
hit the mainstream was even
better. First, let me let me
28:01
give you a little horse race.
This is how it is for those of
28:04
you not in America. This is how
it's presented. Biden
28:09
Unknown: Trump they both want
your vote and both won a second
28:12
term. Now they make their case
as they face each other. Watch
28:16
the CNN presidential debate
simulcast live on ABC Thursday
28:21
night at 9am. Eastern.
28:22
Adam Curry: I mean, come by,
like UFC. Where's Rogen? Get him
28:27
in there? Yeah, really? So
Martin Short. Yeah. Who doesn't
28:31
know Martin Short. He's on ABC.
And he makes a little Biden
28:35
joke. I
28:35
Unknown: Kyle, let me ask you
this. Did you hear the news
28:39
about Starbucks? No, no. What's
the news? Now this is
28:42
fascinating. Starbucks launched
28:44
a new energy drink today. It's
called iced energy. And it's the
28:48
same amount of caffeine as six
cans of Coke, and food. And it's
28:53
now available to every
Starbucks. Just in time for Joe
28:56
Biden to shoot it up as asked me
for the debate on Thursday.
29:02
Adam Curry: Come on. That's good
one. Yeah, like that at all. CNN
29:06
took a little. I mean, the fact
that they're discussing this is
29:09
what would just makes me smile.
29:11
Unknown: I think some of the
rhetoric, Speaker Johnson, I
29:13
mean, just knowing you and how
you conduct yourself using some
29:17
of the rhetoric is out of line
when when people from Trump's
29:19
team are suggesting the Trump
himself that Biden is going to
29:23
be on cocaine when he's on the
debates.
29:27
John C Dvorak: There's a lot of
things by the way, just as a
29:31
because I've heard the speeches
that Trump did he was gonna get
29:34
a shot in the ass you know, and
all this and he mentions cocaine
29:39
in there says I wonder what
happened to all that cocaine in
29:42
the white but that's as far as
he goes with it. Right? It's the
29:44
media that's picked up
29:46
Adam Curry: the cocaine me Why
are they bringing it up? I mean,
29:49
they love
29:49
John C Dvorak: it because
they're all coked up have him
29:51
themselves when he's
29:53
Unknown: on that debate stage
Thursday night.
29:56
Look, there's a lot of things
that are said in jest of course,
29:59
no one is spects that Joe Biden
will be on cocaine, but they
30:02
they do.
30:05
Adam Curry: Now, of course, no
one's sure he'd be on cocaine
30:07
like you already.
30:08
Unknown: They do ask questions.
And I think they're, they're
30:10
objectively. I mean, I think it
makes sense why people are
30:13
asking, Will it be on some sort
of energy drinks or something?
30:16
Okay. Look, his energy levels
you can see vary depending on
30:21
what format he's in and what
forum and, you know, we expected
30:24
he'll do what he did at the
State of the Union. He had a lot
30:26
of energy that night. So that's
the Joe Biden, I expect to see
30:29
that the question is, can he
stay for 90 minutes on that
30:32
stage and go toe to toe with,
with President Trump, who is,
30:35
you know, goes to rallies and
talks for two hours on end
30:37
without any break and any notes.
So it'll be a very interesting
30:40
thing to see.
30:41
I mean, the allegations just
about drugs have just been,
30:44
frankly, ridiculous and,
obviously are baseless
30:48
Adam Curry: based obviously,
obviously, basis. Why basis,
30:52
obviously baseless, it's got to
be something going on. CNN
30:56
making a big deal about the
technology. There's a lot of
31:00
tech going on here a lot of
technology about these mic mutes
31:03
Yeah, this is something we've
never ever done. Before I want
31:05
this, we got green buttons, we
got make mute. Let's, let's do a
31:09
little let's do a little package
on it.
31:10
Unknown: If we go behind the
podiums, you can see two green
31:14
lights. When they're on they
signal to the candidate, his
31:17
microphone is on. When the green
lights are off, they signal to
31:20
the candidate his microphone is
off. Now I want to give you a
31:23
sense of what it will look like
for viewers at home if a
31:26
candidate who's microphone is
off, interrupts a candidate
31:29
whose microphone is on. So I'm
standing at one podium, and I'll
31:32
ask Phil to come in and take the
other podium. And so let's say
31:35
I'm answering a question. My
light is green, and I'm
31:38
speaking, Phil's microphone is
off and his green lights are not
31:41
illuminated. He's going to
interrupt me as I'm speaking and
31:44
this is what it will sound like
this my volume remains constant
31:48
while Phil's interruption can be
difficult to understand.
31:52
Let's try the opposite. My
microphone is now on Victor's
31:55
microphone is off, and he's
going to interrupt me. My volume
31:59
remains constant while Victor's
interruption can be difficult to
32:02
understand. A Siemens production
team has shared this
32:05
demonstration with the
campaign's earlier today, and
32:07
we're sharing it with you, our
viewers, so everyone fully
32:10
understands how tomorrow night
will work. Now, we should know,
32:14
by agreeing to participate in
this debate. Both campaigns and
32:17
candidates have also agreed to
abide by these rules. Yes,
32:21
the rules. The rule. Isn't this
now I
32:23
John C Dvorak: shouldn't have
clipped the meme that was
32:26
created from that particular
piece. Oh, I don't know if you
32:29
saw it. Probably not. But it's
on Twitter. It's the station
32:33
does the exact same thing. But
as the guy says the now when
32:35
he's his mic is off. And then
you hear Biden is an idiot. And
32:40
he goes on and on. You can hear
both sides. And it's just, it's,
32:43
it's, it's pretty funny. It's
not, you know, but this again,
32:47
is part of a barrage of negative
Biden, memes and virals. They're
32:55
out there. The end, there's not
just one or two, there's, I'm
32:59
There must be hundreds of them.
And there, most of them are
33:02
quite funny. And it's very
aggressive. It's much. I'd say,
33:06
if you go back to 2015 2016 when
Trump was running against
33:10
Hillary, and you had those few
crazy ads that were running on
33:14
Facebook, the $100,000 worth of
ads, supposedly that was going
33:18
to sway the election somehow.
They're these are much more
33:22
aggressive. This is this is
pretty funny.
33:26
Adam Curry: The format of the
debate kind of is not a
33:30
throwback to like the 60s when
they used to do that with it
33:33
would just there wasn't even an
audience wasn't
33:36
John C Dvorak: Yes, Kennedy.
Nixon
33:39
Adam Curry: was no audience.
Yeah. And that turned out that
33:42
worked well for Kennedy. Yeah,
because Nixon was sweating. Oh,
33:47
that's right. Well, and
ultimately, that's what this is
33:49
about. We it's all about the
ones. I mean, it's all about the
33:53
one soundbite. I mean, I still
remember Reagan. He said, I
33:56
won't hold the senators age
against him, because he's a much
34:03
younger man. You know, it's
34:04
John C Dvorak: like,
inexperienced, inexperienced.
34:06
Adam Curry: That's right. It's
all about the one single
34:09
soundbite. And
34:11
John C Dvorak: my favorite one
is still I forgot who I think it
34:13
was, who was it was a vice
presidential debate where the
34:15
guest says you're no John
Kennedy, right? Well, I knew
34:18
John Kennedy. You're no jacket.
The thing is, of course, I don't
34:21
remember who that particular
candidate was because there's a
34:23
VP, but it was a good line.
34:25
Adam Curry: But then Biden
actually use that line later and
34:28
said, Oh, now you're Jack
Kennedy. Yeah. He used that in a
34:31
debate. Yeah,
34:31
John C Dvorak: he tried to
plagiarize it, but he couldn't.
34:33
Well, that's all he does.
34:35
Adam Curry: He can't even
plagiarize. Well. So, you know,
34:41
obviously Biden has has one
obvious one, convicted felon,
34:46
Trump has unconvicted felon.
Okay. You know, I think if Trump
34:51
is just calm, and
34:53
John C Dvorak: he, he just yeah,
this is the main issue that I
34:57
think it can do it and maybe
maybe not Sorry to say I don't
35:01
think it's gonna make a lot of
difference one way or the other.
35:03
No, this
35:04
Adam Curry: is this is just UFC.
This is just, I mean there's
35:08
debate parties there was getting
together and yeah, I'm a friends
35:11
of mine. Oh, I'm on a boat but I
got my starting so I can watch
35:14
the debate is debate night.
Like,
35:17
John C Dvorak: okay yeah it's a
course you're gonna watch it I'm
35:22
gonna watch it we're not gonna
be able to resist. Yeah.
35:25
Adam Curry: I have some more in
depth discussion about this from
35:29
MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell who
brings in the illustrious a
35:33
Chuck Todd from the podcast. The
Biden
35:35
Unknown: and the Trump campaigns
are looking at tomorrow's debate
35:38
for a major opportunity to shake
up a tight race possibly even
35:42
trip up their opponents and
disease Chief Political Analyst
35:46
Chuck Todd arguing that Biden
and Trump have more to lose than
35:49
gain from this first debate. And
Chuck joins me now along with
35:53
USA Today's Washington bureau
chief Susan Page. Great to have
35:57
the two of you. You've seen so
many debates, hits and misses
36:01
chuck, chuck, what's what do
they got to lose?
36:04
Adam Curry: Well, I will say
this, we fall into this trap
36:06
before where we get so excited
about a first confrontation.
36:08
Sometimes it's the first primary
debate or first general election
36:11
debate. And then we always go
wow, they didn't they didn't
36:13
really lay a glove on each
other. They really were sort of
36:15
feeling each other out. And it's
like, yeah, because Oh, that
36:18
would be horrible. If we don't
have any, any anything to play
36:22
for suddenly, their operatives
remind the candidates, hey,
36:25
there's a lot of people tuning
into you guys for the very first
36:27
time you're making a first
impression. And he and Well,
36:30
these guys have already made
their first impressions.
36:32
Arguably, there's still somewhat
of that. And I do think, you
36:36
know, six weeks ago, Biden
really needed to do something to
36:39
shake up the race. What's
interesting is that in the last
36:42
six weeks, I could argue both
campaigns have gotten steadier.
36:46
Both campaigns feel better about
their current state, and
36:50
operationally, both campaigns
are in a better place than they
36:53
were six weeks ago. And so when
you're entering a debate where
36:57
you're actually feeling like
your path to victory is visible
37:00
to you, you're gonna be a little
more risk averse and I just look
37:03
these are the I'm not saying
Captain chaos won't show up.
37:07
Captain if you're coming from
the perspective of the operators
37:11
I've talked to I think this
firework even people think
37:16
John C Dvorak: operatives so the
talking about well, the opposite
37:18
Luke's
37:18
Adam Curry: the operatives are
Jake Tapper and Dana Bash.
37:21
Hello. Yeah,
37:22
John C Dvorak: I think they're
part of the whole thing. But
37:24
yeah, I should mention that Lisa
was put in the newsletter. Oh,
37:29
yeah. One of our producers
dropped coach said, this is the
37:33
reason for the week long delay
so they can do a new mask. Yep.
37:38
And create a new perfect mask
because they can do the mat.
37:41
They do our masks out there. You
can if you're,
37:43
Adam Curry: I'm all in on the
masks. The masks are real. And
37:45
they work and they're very
convincing. And they're
37:48
undetectable. I know from my own
family's experience. And
37:52
John C Dvorak: you have so you
have a new guy, a new actor and
37:55
a Biden mask with the Polish
teeth and they're gay sounds a
38:00
lot like Biden, but he may or
may not be Biden. I think voice
38:05
a voice record would be good to
do a voice graph and see what
38:08
happens
38:08
Adam Curry: but who's the
crackpot here. And
38:11
John C Dvorak: so and so the
idea is, is which like you said,
38:14
this is not an technology that's
not unknown. So you have an
38:18
actor and he it takes a week for
him to memorize because they
38:21
have the questions. They're
already seeing it as a question
38:24
to the deviously the Biden
campaign so they can say oh,
38:28
here's the questions and here's
the answers and they had to
38:30
practice gonna take a week of
acting for this phony baloney
38:34
Biden to to to actually present
well and and the reason they put
38:41
the end they have the two
candidates, especially long
38:45
distance away this now I am a
little crack party on this part
38:48
a long distance away because
Trump won't be able to see him
38:51
close enough to identify a mask
even
38:54
Adam Curry: doable or to to jam
the
38:58
John C Dvorak: ram with a pocket
jammer i i have a I had one of
39:03
these I don't know where this
thing went but it's in your
39:06
pocket jam or you can put in
your pocket and I tested it when
39:10
I was at MVNO with a couple of
the guys there I said make a
39:13
phone call see if you can get a
connection and this got a
39:15
connection I reached over my my
breast pocket and just pushed
39:20
the button and started this
thing not to call right off the
39:22
line instantly all bandwidth
pocket jammer ma'am a gentle
39:26
band pocket jammer so you have a
jammer. You can jam but it's
39:30
only good for about four or five
feet. So you move by one way or
39:35
the other side end and might
also interfere with the mics.
39:39
Well, if you're using wireless
mics, it will interfere with the
39:43
mics if it's not wireless, it
shouldn't make a difference, but
39:47
it would interfere with any ear
wig or any little device that
39:50
was put in Biden's ear.
39:52
Adam Curry: The bottom line is I
mean, okay, fine. I don't care
39:55
if it's Biden or someone in a
mask who has an earwig Trump has
40:00
As the natural style he he can.
Peace. He's still quick on his
40:07
feet. Yeah, just because it
won't be Biden going hobbling
40:10
ahead and falling down doesn't
mean that. But
40:14
John C Dvorak: that's what I
want to see. Well,
40:15
Adam Curry: exactly. That's what
we that's what we really want.
40:19
We
40:20
John C Dvorak: want to real
Biden we want him stumbling and
40:22
mumbling and saying weird words
and nobody can understand and
40:26
maybe passing out. I mean that
would be the best but that's not
40:29
going to happen if you're going
to have a guy in a mask, okay?
40:32
Adam Curry: It's really it
doesn't matter. The whole thing
40:35
doesn't matter. The debate
doesn't matter. What matters is
40:38
Jake Tapper's record, former
40:39
Unknown: President Donald Trump
in an interview earlier today
40:42
was given a chance to clear up
any confusion about his Hitler
40:47
echoing comments, in which you
said this is some classics from
40:50
2020 that immigrants from South
America, Africa and Asia. Now
40:54
Europe to South America, Africa
and Asia are, quote, poisoning
40:58
the blood of our country. The
dehumanizing rhetoric of Adolf
41:02
Hitler is once again alive and
well on a national political
41:06
stage. If you were to open up a
copy of Hitler's mind calm, you
41:11
would find the Nazi leader
describing the mixing of non
41:14
Germans with George Germans as
poisoning. The Jew, Hitler
41:18
wrote, quote, poisons the blood
of others, there's really no
41:22
other way to say it. Donald
Trump's language mirrors this
41:25
directly this
41:26
Adam Curry: he's Adolf Hitler, I
want to go back to Andrea
41:29
Mitchell with the USA Today lady
who was on with with Chuck and
41:33
Unknown: it was high risk, high
reward for Joe Biden, because
41:37
the exposure without a
teleprompter on a stage for 90
41:40
minutes, you know, he could
falter and any single moment
41:44
could be could go viral,
especially the way even it isn't
41:48
moments not not damaged and
damaging moments like the g7 or,
41:55
you know, faked and edited out
of context,
41:58
you know, they've not only had
the impression made their second
42:01
and third and fourth
impressions, they're all made
42:03
their images, their views, the
views of voters to that each of
42:06
these candidates is set in
political concrete. So the risks
42:09
now I think is less to like make
an impression you've never made
42:13
before. More that the other guy
or you make some kind of error.
42:16
That thing gets repeated over
and over and over again, on
42:20
cable TV and on social media.
And that that becomes the image
42:23
that people remember.
42:24
Adam Curry: Yeah, but that won't
change anybody's vote. No one's
42:27
going to switch because of this
debate. Everyone's dug their
42:30
heels in and
42:31
John C Dvorak: I'm in total
agreement this is
42:35
Adam Curry: are they having ads
are they gonna roll ads on this
42:37
thing?
42:38
John C Dvorak: One I asked the
same question last show yeah, I
42:41
Adam Curry: want to know what
one ad one ad who's it going to
42:44
be? Who's the one ad going to be
have a coke and a smile?
42:47
John C Dvorak: What's it going
to probably be a drug company
42:49
come
42:49
Adam Curry: on. Pfizer. Hey,
well, the prop bets the prop
42:53
bets mine to profits are funny.
42:56
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we have
42:59
Adam Curry: who's first answer
during the debate will be longer
43:03
debate winner as proposed first
to mispronounced a politician's
43:06
name. Though here's the match
bet democracy versus border.
43:12
Well, Joe is obviously going to
go after democracy. Slogans
43:18
Magga. Republicans versus save
America. They hate our country,
43:23
Black Lives Matter. First Wives
mentioned Jill versus Melania.
43:32
Favorites Melania. To be
mentored and mentioned. Hi,
43:35
favorite there? Nothing about
first candidates suggests the
43:41
other is on drugs. Okay.
43:45
John C Dvorak: That'll be good.
I
43:46
Adam Curry: think about the
first I wonder who the who the
43:48
who? The. Yeah, probably what
probably Pfizer
43:54
Unknown: will make now.
43:57
John C Dvorak: Yeah, there's a
couple of interesting things
43:59
there. Which is the fact that
they would continue to promote
44:02
the idea that that that video of
Biden turning around and yes,
44:07
heading in the wrong direction
is is fake? Yeah, that's
44:10
interesting is really beyond me.
I mean, you can even watch if
44:14
you watch the extended version,
the whole video where Biden at
44:17
the end slowly puts his
sunglasses on, which is the in
44:22
slow motion. Yeah. It's like,
this is not why it keeps saying
44:27
this is fake. When it's not
clearly not fake. I don't get
44:30
that. We
44:31
Adam Curry: know that we know
that because that's how it needs
44:33
to be used. So you can just if
you keep repeating that they can
44:36
always say if something that's
clearly true, it was fake. Well,
44:41
John C Dvorak: this is similar
to the other mainstream media, I
44:45
have to call them a meme, if
anything about the fact that the
44:49
Russians stole these Hillary
Clinton emails. I mean, the
44:53
whole idea is really besides
it's really it is complicit.
45:00
It's corrupt. It had
45:02
Adam Curry: terrible people keep
watching it. That's the crazy
45:05
sales day
45:06
John C Dvorak: watch it, but yes
they do. Here's because they're
45:09
they they're bored. They watch
television. Now they watch clips
45:12
Adam Curry: online. Nobody
watches television. The numbers
45:14
show it. They watch clips clips
of stuff online. This is a CNN,
45:21
Casey hunt. And she has Trump's
press secretary.
45:25
John C Dvorak: Oh, this is?
45:26
Adam Curry: No I didn't even
know we had a press secretary.
45:29
Caroline leave it was she's
45:31
John C Dvorak: one of the
campaign segra Yes, she's Casey
45:35
Hunt is one of the worst
presenters on no KCC hunt by the
45:40
way. No,
45:41
Adam Curry: please. It is not it
is.
45:43
John C Dvorak: You check it out.
45:45
Adam Curry: Hold on a second. I
don't believe that for a second.
45:53
does not say that. No, does not
say that she was born. It's
45:58
Casey s hunt. Good try. Good.
Good. Try to vorak it's it's so
46:04
it takes someone five minutes to
Google Jake Tapper. Donald Trump
46:07
to see that Jake Tapper has
consistent offers. You're gonna
46:11
filter. Ma'am, I'm going to
style Ma'am, are you if I'm
46:14
stating to attack my
46:16
Unknown: colleagues, I would
like to talk about Donald Trump,
46:19
who you work for? Yes. If you
are here to speak on his behalf.
46:22
And I want you to have this
conversation. I am stating facts
46:26
that your colleagues have stated
in the past now. I'm sorry.
46:29
We're gonna come back to
Caroline, they have your time.
46:32
You are welcome to come back at
any point she is welcome to come
46:36
back and speak about Donald
Trump and Donald Trump will have
46:39
equal time to Joe Biden when
they both Join us now, at next
46:44
Burley later this week in
Atlanta for this
46:48
Adam Curry: schoolmarm? Well,
you you, ma'am, ma'am, who calls
46:53
anyone Ma'am? Ma'am, ma'am, if
you don't say bad things about
46:57
my colleagues, I'm going to cut
you off, ma'am. Please. I'm glad
47:01
I don't have to get these clips
myself. That'd be too painful.
47:04
Here's how. Here's how
47:05
John C Dvorak: I saw that the
number of did kept playing Fox
47:08
using that as like a punching
bag.
47:10
Adam Curry: Of course. Let's
let's go and see how France 24
47:14
handles the preparations for the
historic US presidential
47:18
debates.
47:19
Unknown: The question is to
avoid scenes like this in 2020.
47:23
Would you listen who is on your
list, Joe Biden and Donald Trump
47:27
have agreed to a new set of
rules for that 2024 TV rematch.
47:32
We have ended the segment each
candidate's microphone will be
47:34
muted for the first debate of
the campaign. Except when it's
47:38
his turn to speak post CNN said
that during the 90 Minute face
47:42
off, there will also be no live
audience. podium positions and
47:46
the order of closing statements
will be determined by a coin
47:49
flip. And candidates will not be
allowed to notes or props, but
47:53
will be given a pen and a pad of
paper. After lobbying from both
47:57
candidates. The TV event is
taking place months earlier than
48:00
usual. It will also be the first
debate either candidate has
48:04
participated in in this campaign
season as Biden run largely
48:08
unopposed. And Trump's skip the
Republican primary debates. So
48:13
you have two men that have not
debated in four years. So you've
48:18
got two guys don't like each
other haven't seen each other.
48:22
pretty rusty heading into the
biggest night of their lives.
48:26
About
48:26
six in 10. American adults say
they're likely to watch the
48:30
debate life or in clips, or read
about the performance of the
48:33
candidates in the news or social
media.
48:36
Adam Curry: Yeah, the background
of all this when Reagan he gave
48:42
his farewell speech, I think
January 9, January 11. Actually
48:46
1989. So just before the 90
said, is that right? Is that
48:51
right to sound right at night?
That was right. Yeah. So I was
48:56
reading his whole speech. I just
pulled a little piece just to
48:58
show you the contrast from when
I was on MTV, you know, of
49:02
course, I wasn't paying any
attention to any of this. I
49:04
wasn't paid on MTV school
councils or, you know, school
49:09
board or council meetings that
were caused those losers of
49:12
course, no, because my I will.
Mia culpa my generation.
49:17
Literally let a lot of this
stuff happened because we are
49:19
too busy. Yeah, I was on MTV,
who cares? I'm having a good
49:22
time. So he was the part of
Reagan and of course, there was
49:26
a presidential debate that
night, who would have been
49:28
debating that night? That would
have been Bush and Gore and
49:33
gore. So he says, I've spoken of
the shining city all my
49:37
political life, but I don't know
if I ever quite communicated
49:41
what I saw when I said it. But
in my mind, it was a tall, proud
49:44
city built on rock stronger than
oceans, windswept, God blessed
49:49
and teaming with people of all
kinds living in harmony and
49:52
peace, a city with free ports
that hummed with commerce and
49:56
creativity. As you know, there's
a presidential debate tonight
49:59
held praying, but I won't be
praying for a political party or
50:02
a man, I'll be asking God to
give his favor to the man who
50:06
can best lead us in
rediscovering who we are as a
50:08
nation. I'll ask God to give
favor to the man who believes
50:12
most in We the People. And all I
asked for is his grace on He who
50:16
knows believes most in the city
on the hill. Dude, we are far
50:21
from that.
50:23
John C Dvorak: Times change.
50:25
Unknown: Not better.
50:28
John C Dvorak: Not necessary?
Well, depends on your sense of
50:30
humor. Now, let's say they going
back to their notion that
50:34
they're going to have these pads
and ink and a pen and pen and a
50:38
pad on their desk. Yes, that's
all they got. Now, if I was
50:41
coaching and I, again, thinking
in terms of sense of humor, I
50:47
think that that Trump because
he's going to have his mic cut
50:50
off, should write in with the
pen in big letters. He's, he's
50:55
shit. And hold it up. When
Biden's talking,
51:03
Adam Curry: I'll give you $1. If
he does that, that would be
51:06
pretty funny.
51:07
John C Dvorak: It would be great
if he did that, because it would
51:09
be like it would get nothing but
attention. And it would they
51:13
wouldn't update me beside
themselves. What are you going
51:15
to do?
51:18
Adam Curry: Nothing. I want to I
want to move on, but I'll keep
51:21
it related as I moved to the
Supreme Court. This is very,
51:25
very interesting. What's what's
happening effect I have a the
51:30
Supreme Court is about to end
their session. So you know,
51:33
they're trying to wrap
everything up real quick.
51:36
John C Dvorak: Go on vacation,
basically. Yeah, it's
51:38
Adam Curry: vague. It's called
vacation but they call ending
51:41
the session. And let me see
where's the where's the SCOTUS
51:45
clip here?
51:48
Unknown: Yes, this one I think
tonight Special Counsel Jack
51:51
Smith firing back again. This
51:52
Adam Curry: is not Supreme
Court. But it's the documents
51:54
case. It's Donald Trump's claims
51:55
Unknown: FBI agents tampered
with boxes, allegedly containing
51:59
classified material discovered
when they searched his Mar a
52:02
Lago estate in a new court
filing prosecutors with their
52:06
most detailed description yet of
how Trump allegedly personally
52:10
chose to keep documents
containing some of the nation's
52:12
most highly guarded secrets
among a cluttered collection of
52:16
keepsakes including newspapers.
thank you notes, Christmas
52:20
ornaments, magazines, clothing,
and photographs of himself and
52:24
others of Trump's lawyers
claimed prosecutors have not
52:27
preserved the boxes in the exact
manner in which they were found
52:30
insisting they were manipulated.
Prosecutors say that's just not
52:34
true, saying the haphazard
manner in which the boxes were
52:38
packed and stored by Trump made
it inevitable that the contents
52:41
inside would shift. They blasted
Trump's claims as the latest
52:46
unfounded accusations against
law enforcement professionals
52:49
doing their jobs. The case now
delayed indefinitely. As Judge
52:53
Eileen cannon holds multiple
hearings on a wide array of
52:56
motions. She has yet to rule on
many of them causing unusual
53:00
months long delays. And David
there was news tonight in an
53:04
unrelated case, the Manhattan
hush money trial. Oh,
53:07
Adam Curry: sorry. I did that
didn't mean for that to be in
53:09
there. So yesterday. Yesterday.
Yeah, I think it was yesterday.
53:15
Yeah. All of a sudden the, you
know, the, the women of
53:20
Fredericksburg text message
starts blowing up. Rip First
53:23
Amendment. We're done. Supreme
Court kills First Amendment
53:26
done. It's all over no more free
speech. What happened? What
53:30
happened? You know, I doubt the
Supreme Court struck it out of
53:35
the amendments. I mean, what
happened? Well, this is what
53:38
happened and I have an analysis
53:40
Unknown: today the Supreme Court
ruled against limiting how the
53:43
White House contacts social
media companies, it's a win for
53:46
the Biden administration that
argued it should be able to
53:49
contact companies to address
misinformation especially
53:52
related to public health and
election integrity. And a six to
53:56
three decision. The justices
throughout the case on standing
53:59
meaning those who brought the
case didn't have legal standing.
54:03
Justice Barrett, writing the
opinion saying we lacked
54:05
jurisdiction to reach the merits
of the dispute, Justice Alito
54:09
dissenting, saying this is one
of the most important free
54:12
speech cases to reach this court
in years. This all comes as the
54:16
Supreme Court hands down its
final decisions of the term, one
54:20
of the biggest cases of the year
Donald Trump's immunity claim,
54:23
so
54:24
Adam Curry: I'll stop there. So
this is the Missouri versus
54:28
Biden case. I think actually
changed names later on. This is
54:31
how the both Trump but also the
Biden administration threatened
54:38
social media companies to D
platform people to censor COVID
54:41
misinformation and
disinformation. And I'm really
54:44
disappointed especially in Amy
Coney Barrett, they you know,
54:48
they they kind of punted on this
and said, Well, you know, you
54:51
don't have standing in this,
which is kind of a kind of a cop
54:56
chicken shit they do it is so
the mature already, that's what
55:00
they did for the majority rule
under the Constitution, courts
55:03
lacked jurisdiction to hear
cases brought by people who
55:06
lacked standing. Now it was even
more interesting, because when
55:10
it comes to injunctive relief, a
person cannot establish standing
55:12
unless he can show a danger of
future harm. This is because an
55:17
injunction doesn't remedy past
harm. And so what they're in
55:21
effect saying is that you can't
prove that you plaintiff will be
55:27
harmed in the future by this,
and the social media companies
55:31
were already moderating content.
So the fact that the government
55:36
came into that didn't mean that
it was something new. So it's a
55:40
very disappointing ruling, I
think that they, you know,
55:46
because the government does have
a scepter. You know, they do
55:50
have section 230. They've got,
you know, antitrust, all kinds
55:56
of things they can do to the
social media companies. So it
56:00
will now go back to the district
court, plaintiffs can pursue an
56:04
injunction. We'll see if that if
anything becomes of that, but
56:08
seems like you know, and by the
way, if you think that you have
56:13
a freedom of speech on social
media, please, please, there's
56:18
no way you should never expect
that there. They also ruled on
56:23
the Sacklers, which was
interesting. Now, the Sackler is
56:27
of course the family who owns
Purdue Pharma. And the Supreme
56:31
Court has now said, you know,
what, the Sackler family cannot
56:35
escape liability. through Purdue
Pharma has oxy fueled
56:39
bankruptcy. So they are back on
the hook. That could be
56:44
John C Dvorak: that could be fun
to watch. That will go on for
56:47
the Sacklers. Well, no, I'm
56:49
Adam Curry: not related. And
finally, Chevron deference. We
56:53
were hoping for a decision
today. Nearly Friday, we Yes, we
57:00
may get it Friday, we don't
know. But there is there are
57:03
high hopes that that Chevron
deference decision will be in
57:08
favor of taking away the power
from the agencies.
57:11
John C Dvorak: But this so I got
into Congress that was gonna say
57:14
this would be perfect.
57:15
Adam Curry: To have that
decision tomorrow when
57:17
everyone's doing the memes and
and post debate analysis.
57:22
John C Dvorak: That's probably
the time to do it. Yeah. I got
57:25
into it. There's this one
pressure group that has been
57:31
pressuring you and pressuring
you? Well, I get, I get, you
57:35
know, there's just press
releases. And I called them up
57:39
and I said, I did this on
background. I told them I wow,
57:42
okay.
57:42
Adam Curry: Background, do you?
What do you deep state? Yeah.
57:46
John C Dvorak: And so that's me.
So but no, I just want to hear
57:50
the pitch. And so what is the
pitch about not killing Chevron
57:55
deference. And so this girl
calls me up, and she gives me
57:58
the pitch is, and it goes on
forever. And it's totally a
58:01
script. And I shot back at her
after she was done talking,
58:07
which took about 20 minutes.
58:09
Adam Curry: This is recent, this
past week yesterday. Oh, okay.
58:12
And so
58:14
John C Dvorak: I said, Well, you
know, I worked for one of these
58:17
agencies, pre Chevron deference
and everything you say is not
58:20
true. This and that. And she
did. I just had a list of stuff
58:23
I was writing down she said,
This is what's going to happen.
58:27
And I said, it didn't happen
before. Why would it happen now?
58:30
And I went on and I really got
mad at her.
58:33
Adam Curry: Record your side.
58:35
John C Dvorak: I didn't record
any of his background. I'm just
58:37
telling you the story. Okay. And
so but but she would not relent.
58:44
And I told her that she all she
has I said take a look at this.
58:48
What's been going on since
Chevron deference has been a
58:50
consolidation This was to be a
big anti Corporation operation
58:55
that's right pushing this so
what's been going on since
58:57
Chevron deference to
corporations have been getting
59:00
bigger and bigger and they've
been consolidating in the media
59:03
and elsewhere it's just all it's
it's gone in the exact opposite
59:06
direction that you expected to
go in. But this is what you're
59:09
still pushing show it to happens
even more. And then she pushes a
59:13
J appall build as calling out
that's called your race.
59:18
Adam Curry: Did she call you a
racist at any point? No, she
59:21
John C Dvorak: but she says Jay
Paul's got this assembly bill
59:23
that which is going to put
Chevron deference into law
59:27
words. And I said all this is
doing is playing into the hands
59:30
of the big corporations, you're
just a stooge and you're reading
59:32
a script that may as well have
been written by the big
59:35
corporations who are you
kidding? And she was very not
59:39
happy with me but at the same
time, we didn't she didn't cuss
59:42
me out or anything but this is
what's going on. Is this
59:44
Adam Curry: how you talk to
girls is this what you're doing
59:46
now? This is not the way to go?
JCD
59:49
John C Dvorak: wasn't looking
for a date. Anyway, so but this
59:55
this pressure groups are out
there and I you know, you can
59:57
talk to them and see what they
have to say and you I know this
1:00:00
is terrible what they're up to.
They don't know what they're
1:00:03
doing. I said, Did you ever work
for an enforcement agency or a
1:00:08
Ministry of State Agency? Well,
I was an intern at the FAA was
1:00:15
an internet, the FCC. I said,
what you should notice anything
1:00:19
that you integrate, I said, I
said, all these agencies are
1:00:23
been been captured. And she
actually admitted that she saw
1:00:27
capture going on. There's
1:00:29
Unknown: capture going on here.
There's capture everywhere.
1:00:33
Yeah.
1:00:34
John C Dvorak: Well, I'll Oh,
this, this Chevron deference
1:00:37
thing. It'll be interesting to
see how it shakes out.
1:00:39
Adam Curry: I mean, I'll let him
slide on. On the Missouri versus
1:00:43
Biden, if they do Chevron
deference, by the way, a lot of
1:00:46
people are very skeptical. It's
like, oh, then the just the
1:00:48
courts will do it in the courts.
And then the courts suck to win.
1:00:51
Everything's No,
1:00:52
John C Dvorak: this is what I
got into the argument about with
1:00:54
her, because she said the same
thing, or the courts are going
1:00:57
to be this. That's bullcrap.
When I was working, and it's
1:01:00
almost a decade with, with the
air pollution district, we had
1:01:03
to we had to go to court quite
more than once I went to the
1:01:06
court and gave testimony and got
pretty good at it about certain
1:01:11
things, but somebody really got
bent out of shape about the way
1:01:14
it was being enforced. They take
it to a judge. And okay, well,
1:01:17
we can deal with that we'd
always when that didn't never
1:01:20
saw it was a problem. And it
didn't happen that often. It
1:01:23
wasn't like daily. So I mean,
this whole thing is bold crap.
1:01:27
You Chevron deference has got to
go. Have you seen
1:01:29
Adam Curry: some of these
candidates for judges that have
1:01:32
been going through Senate
confirmation hearings? It's
1:01:35
amazing.
1:01:37
John C Dvorak: You gotta get
Trump back in there. Because
1:01:38
these these people they're
putting in are terrible. They
1:01:41
Adam Curry: really are like,
Yeah, you know, the guy
1:01:44
sodomized a four year old game a
couple of years, you know, poor
1:01:48
guy. Clearly it was poor guy.
Poor guy. What? Yeah, yeah, how
1:01:52
far we've fallen. I want to go
back to some cheap fakes. I got
1:01:57
some AI stuff, which deserves
discussion,
1:02:00
Unknown: I want to make a bit of
a turn in our conversation to
1:02:02
something that we've been
wanting to talk about on the
1:02:04
show for a little bit and a
little bit just to be totally
1:02:07
transparent, trying to figure
out how to do it. And when I say
1:02:10
it, it is a lot of memes. And
what the White House is calling
1:02:16
cheap fakes. Which means Oh,
1:02:18
Adam Curry: whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, that's not true.
1:02:21
According to jurien, the media
made that up, not the White
1:02:25
House, get your story straight,
Dana IIMs.
1:02:28
Unknown: And what the White
House is calling cheap fakes.
1:02:31
Which means that these are there
are videos that are being put
1:02:35
out on social media and then
amplified on conservative media,
1:02:39
that in some cases are just not
right. And in other cases are
1:02:42
highlighted, right. It's not
right of President Biden. And I
1:02:49
don't want to go, I don't want
to let a day go by where I can
1:02:54
read a tweet from Barbra
Streisand on the show. So I'm
1:02:57
gonna do it.
1:02:59
Adam Curry: And she said, why
did why would everyone all get
1:03:03
Oh, get GT over reading a tweet
from Barbra Streisand. I would
1:03:08
never pass that opportunity up,
go
1:03:11
Unknown: by where I can read a
tweet from Barbra Streisand on
1:03:14
the show. So I'm gonna do it.
She said, We must stay vigilant
1:03:20
to the ongoing and pervasive
spread of misinformation, maybe
1:03:23
now more than usual, in the lead
up to the presidential election.
1:03:27
And her argument was, Don't
amplify it. It is interesting,
1:03:31
given the fact that there she
there was a famous case, where
1:03:34
somebody took a picture of her
house in Malibu, and she seemed
1:03:38
to not have that shown. And then
it turned out that people
1:03:42
started looking at the picture
more than before. So it's, it's
1:03:45
the question that I started this
conversation with is how much to
1:03:48
talk about it, versus how much
to just kind of ignore it. And
1:03:52
we're trying to kind of do both
here. So
1:03:54
Adam Curry: I thought that was
interesting, because here we
1:03:55
have the media, of course,
playing ball for, for the
1:04:00
Democrats and for, for Biden,
saying, you know, you know, what
1:04:05
I'm hearing is, you know,
jurien, you should kind of calm
1:04:09
down a little bit with the cheap
fakes. Because, you know,
1:04:11
obviously, we all know that that
was real. And now you're
1:04:14
creating a Streisand effect,
where people are now going and
1:04:17
seeking it out and looking for
it and copying it and retweeting
1:04:21
and it's hurting our man, you
1:04:22
Unknown: have a 78 year old and
an 82, I rolled 81 year old. And
1:04:28
we have lots of examples of both
of them. Maybe Trump's aren't
1:04:32
played as much, but both of them
appearing to to use your words,
1:04:35
lose a step. That's one thing.
The other thing is to take
1:04:38
something that actually
happened, and make it look worse
1:04:41
than it is. And listen, the
Trump campaign is going to do
1:04:45
this and voters are going to see
it. They're going to imbibe this
1:04:50
and not necessarily know that
it's a it's a real, stupid Biden
1:04:54
team trying to counteract this,
but I think the problem is to
1:04:58
the Streisand example, in fact,
Checking it, do you amplify it?
1:05:01
Right? Right Thing? Is this the
thing that you're talking about?
1:05:05
And then you go see it.
1:05:06
So it's a real problem. But
1:05:07
I think at the core there is
this problem with both of these
1:05:10
candidates in terms of age and
perception. Yeah, okay,
1:05:12
fine.
1:05:12
John C Dvorak: So before you go,
before you go on, didn't
1:05:18
Streisand? She's talking about
misinformation. Streisand is
1:05:21
right. Yes. Didn't she say she
was going to leave the country
1:05:25
in 2016 If Trump got elected,
that
1:05:27
Adam Curry: was aI man, she
never said that. That was a
1:05:29
cheap fake. She
1:05:30
John C Dvorak: did say it then
she didn't leave the country. So
1:05:33
is that misinformation to it? As
she said, She's full of it.
1:05:37
Adam Curry: I wonder if we do we
have Streisand sang she's gonna
1:05:41
leave.
1:05:43
John C Dvorak: It'd be hard to
find it'd be hard to categorize.
1:05:46
Adam Curry: There would be
Streisand leaving. Everybody was
1:05:50
leaving. Even Miley Cyrus was
leaving. Well, they're
1:05:53
John C Dvorak: all leaving
1:05:53
Adam Curry: nobody left. Yeah,
exactly. So there's some
1:05:58
interesting developments and
also we've got a lot of boots on
1:06:01
the ground regarding AI. How is
invidious so holding up the
1:06:07
whole stock market? I didn't get
a chance to listen to DHL plug
1:06:11
is still the biggest company in
the world with $3 trillion.
1:06:14
John C Dvorak: They would that
was only a moment to know Oh,
1:06:16
no. They they they slid they
slipped number two now number
1:06:20
two but is there right there?
They're right there there any
1:06:23
other 10 points so they'll be on
top again on the
1:06:26
Adam Curry: cost? Well, NBC went
to talk to tech titan Sam
1:06:31
Altman, who is amazing. This guy
can talk for hours and say
1:06:35
absolutely nothing. It's it is
an IT skill. Well, it is
1:06:41
Unknown: a Silicon Valley skill
out of a gathering here in
1:06:43
Colorado, the Aspen Ideas
Festival.
1:06:47
Adam Curry: Where's my invites
to the Aspen Ideas Festival.
1:06:50
Today
1:06:50
Unknown: I sat down with two of
the biggest names in the world
1:06:53
is Foo Fighters playing
technology and business. Sam
1:06:57
Altman, CEO of open AI and his
ally and friend Brian Chesky,
1:07:01
CEO of Airbnb, to talk about the
promise and the risks of
1:07:05
artificial intelligence. Open AI
has stunned people with its
1:07:09
capabilities like video creation
from simple text prompts
1:07:13
Adam Curry: hook where did this
guy come from? you've ever heard
1:07:16
this guy on NBC? What a voice
Hey, open AI has stood and
1:07:21
everybody to
1:07:23
John C Dvorak: 55 psi smoking
Marlboros.
1:07:26
Unknown: AI has stunned people
with its capabilities, like
1:07:30
maybe an AI voice. Now they
think about video creation from
1:07:33
simple text prompts with omens,
1:07:36
John C Dvorak: like Lester Holt,
then it is less enjoyed. It's
1:07:40
less the adult
1:07:42
Unknown: students for his
company go much further
1:07:44
comparing it to the Manhattan
Project Development of the
1:07:47
atomic bomb. Was that helpful
for you as you try to make your
1:07:51
case?
1:07:53
I mean, we try to give a number
of historical analogies because
1:07:59
we think it is important. So we
can say there were some things
1:08:02
about the Manhattan projects
that are like what we're doing.
1:08:03
Now, there's some things about
the Apollo program. There's some
1:08:06
things about the
1:08:06
Adam Curry: Oh, okay. Just for
context. Could you buy
1:08:10
grandiose? Well, this is this is
the whole pitch. This is the
1:08:14
whole idea. You can only trust
us. You can't trust anyone else.
1:08:17
It's so big, so fast. By the
way, it needs government
1:08:21
involvement as the Manhattan
Project. Could you just give us
1:08:24
a quick background on the
Manhattan Project?
1:08:28
John C Dvorak: Of the Manhattan
Project, which was basically
1:08:31
created entire city in the
middle of nowhere and down in
1:08:36
the desert, the Oppenheimer
movie, and up it Yeah, the
1:08:40
Oppenheimer movie describes it
pretty well. Yeah, just go
1:08:43
watch. That
1:08:44
Unknown: is because we think it
is important. So we can say
1:08:47
there were some things about the
Manhattan projects that are like
1:08:49
what we're doing. Now, there's
some things about like, what
1:08:52
program there's nothing,
1:08:53
Adam Curry: there's nothing like
the Manhattan project that we're
1:08:55
doing now. Nothing, no one's
going to die. And in no way was
1:09:00
the Manhattan Project worth $3
trillion
1:09:02
Unknown: is important. So we can
say there were some things about
1:09:05
the Manhattan projects that are
like what we're doing. Now,
1:09:07
there's some things about the
Apollo program. There's some
1:09:09
things about the iPhone. But
what I think is important is to
1:09:12
say, the iPhone, the parts where
we can look to historical
1:09:16
analogy, and here are the parts
where we can't, okay, here it
1:09:19
comes standby and the shape of
this technology and kind of the
1:09:23
decisions and the impact. It is
fundamentally a little bit
1:09:26
different than anything. I think
it's different than the
1:09:28
Manhattan Project. It's not a
race is not going to be done in
1:09:31
secret. I think nations can
collaborate together and there
1:09:35
could be a transnational kind of
group or body that could really
1:09:39
kind of align to make sure we're
all on the same page. We think
1:09:42
that's super important to get to
get some sort of
1:09:44
freeway stop.
1:09:47
John C Dvorak: Was that the
Airbnb yakking away there? as
1:09:51
well? She got to do with
anything. Oh,
1:09:53
Adam Curry: he's a tech titan
and he's at the festival. Hello.
1:09:56
Hey, I've got a gig today with
Sam at the tech Titans.
1:10:00
festival, oh my God
1:10:01
Unknown: together and there
could be a transnational kind of
1:10:04
group or body that could really
kind of align to make sure we're
1:10:07
all on the same page. We think
that's super important to get a
1:10:12
global framework and cooperation
by
1:10:14
John C Dvorak: the way, stop,
stop, stop a guy hate that.
1:10:16
Adam Curry: I'm almost done. But
I'll stop. I'll stop. But
1:10:19
John C Dvorak: this isn't the
classic Silicon Valley phrase.
1:10:23
Super important.
1:10:24
Adam Curry: It's not just
important. It's not important,
1:10:27
or
1:10:27
John C Dvorak: super important
because that's a that's a high
1:10:31
end Silicon Valley phrase,
believe me.
1:10:33
Adam Curry: No, I know. I've
been around it. You heard it.
1:10:36
You know, it was also super
important. juiced. Remember that
1:10:39
juiced? Yeah, J O S juice. Yeah,
juice juice. Those guys. Yeah,
1:10:44
you know, as created by the guys
who created Skype, super
1:10:48
important, super important. This
is all we changed pod show to me
1:10:54
vo to video because of juiced
and because Kleiner Perkins
1:10:58
forced us to do it. That's the
That's the truth. Is that right?
1:11:03
Yes. There was that woman's
name. So you had pod show, which
1:11:07
John C Dvorak: was the original
operation? I think that's when I
1:11:10
went to work for you.
1:11:11
Adam Curry: Yeah. Oh, yeah.
We're still poncho. Yes. You are
1:11:14
my man. I hired you. You are my
hire.
1:11:17
John C Dvorak: Well, I soldier
on me.
1:11:19
Adam Curry: You bet you
buffaloed me?
1:11:21
John C Dvorak: I did. I took you
did I took you to lunch it
1:11:25
Adam Curry: bring God I paid for
it. This is the worst.
1:11:28
John C Dvorak: And I sold you
did by the way. People always
1:11:31
talk about you know, all these
get jobs do this and that. And
1:11:34
the way you do it is with
interpersonal sales. And you
1:11:40
learn about podcasting because
what was going on at the time
1:11:42
2006 2007. And so I had to get
it. I had to figure it out. But
1:11:49
the way you learn is by doing as
opposed to just you know,
1:11:52
screwing around. So I sold you
on hiring me. And it was pretty
1:11:58
it was an a it wasn't that hard
to do. Well, you're you're a
1:12:01
soft touch. But to
1:12:03
Adam Curry: be fair, you were a
couple of glasses of wine helps.
1:12:05
Yeah, you are the poncho dei
hire. So yeah. Oh, luck. It all
1:12:11
worked out me. Nations
1:12:13
Unknown: can collaborate
together. And there could be a
1:12:15
transnational kind of group or
body that could really kind of
1:12:19
aligned to make sure we're all
on the same page. We think
1:12:21
that's super important to get to
get some sort of global
1:12:25
framework and cooperation. We're
really gonna need that.
1:12:30
Adam Curry: We need to write the
Silicon Valley bullcrap
1:12:33
dictionary. Of all these terms,
I forgotten most of
1:12:38
John C Dvorak: writing a book
like that'd be super important.
1:12:42
Adam Curry: It would be
Manhattan level, Manhattan
1:12:44
project level. Definitely.
Regarding AI, there is there's
1:12:48
an interesting development in
first some boots on the ground,
1:12:51
because we talked about the
power requirements. This is, of
1:12:54
course, this is what Nvidia is
actually doing is creating these
1:12:58
chips that just suck the power
and everything needs. If only we
1:13:02
had $100 billion, then AI would
work. If only we had a trillion
1:13:07
dollars, it would work if we
only had $7 trillion. It would
1:13:10
work. First the the Scott says,
Hey,
1:13:16
John C Dvorak: we see a trend
here. Yes. I
1:13:19
Adam Curry: was listening to
Episode 16. Seven, you want to
1:13:21
wanted to offer an educated
guess as to why the data center
1:13:23
legislation was a big deal in
Virginia. He says he believes
1:13:28
that has to do with Amazon's HQ
two data center that's being
1:13:31
built there. And that's
essentially across the street
1:13:33
from the Pentagon. So that would
make sense because if you read
1:13:38
the boots on the ground from our
DC night of the high desert, he
1:13:41
says I lived in Princeville,
Oregon right next to the
1:13:44
Facebook and Apple data centers
that they've been building for
1:13:47
over a decade, the city of
Princeville Prineville
1:13:50
Princeville residences saw a
200% increase in their Pacific
1:13:55
power utility bill once the data
center was up and running.
1:14:00
Unknown: About that.
1:14:02
John C Dvorak: No one talks he's
had a bunch of utility bill
1:14:05
hikes here in California too. I
wonder what's going on.
1:14:08
Adam Curry: And then we have
anonymous and immediate family
1:14:14
members and executive at a large
diversified electric and gas
1:14:17
utility. I love our producers.
It just hey, just call your
1:14:20
family you'll get answers for
us. Data Center power demands
1:14:24
has providers in a panic. The
enormous power usage cannot be
1:14:28
overstated. Even nuclear power
generation has difficulty
1:14:32
keeping up. I believe Amazon
uses about a third of the power
1:14:36
generated by the Sasquatch and a
nuclear plant in Pennsylvania.
1:14:39
It's exponential and not
scalable. Of course, none of
1:14:43
this stuff is scalable. But
here's the cool thing. Ars
1:14:46
Technica, I think Ars Technica
is pretty good. Do we know the
1:14:49
guys at Ars Technica, do
1:14:51
John C Dvorak: we? I don't know.
I don't think they listen to the
1:14:53
show or anything but but Ars
Technica screwy information
1:15:00
Yeah, you dropped
1:15:00
Adam Curry: out Ars Technica
what
1:15:05
John C Dvorak: I said, I'm
sorry, Ars Technica is a good
1:15:07
source of screwy, screwy
information that seems to be
1:15:11
accurate. So
1:15:13
Adam Curry: they have this
article that came out
1:15:15
researchers up end AI status quo
by eliminating matrix
1:15:20
multiplication in MLMs. And I
wasn't quite clear what that
1:15:27
meant. But here's some excerpts
research claim researchers
1:15:31
claimed have developed a new way
to run AI language models more
1:15:34
efficiently by eliminating
matrix multiplication from the
1:15:38
process. This fundamentally
redesigns neural network
1:15:42
operations that are currently
accelerated by GPU chips. And if
1:15:47
you read down further it says
this ability. So the actually
1:15:53
here mult matrix multiplication,
often abbreviated to map mall is
1:15:57
at the center of most neural
network computational tasks.
1:16:00
GPUs are particularly good at
executing the math quickly
1:16:03
because they can perform large
numbers of multiplication
1:16:05
operations in parallel. That
ability momentarily made
1:16:08
invidia, the most valuable
company in the world last week,
1:16:11
the company currently holds an
estimated 90% market share for
1:16:15
the data center GPUs now in this
new paper, titled scalable
1:16:19
MathML free language modeling,
the researchers described
1:16:22
creating a custom 2.7 billion
parameter model without using
1:16:27
mat mall that features a similar
performance to conventional
1:16:30
large language models. And they
demonstrate running a 1.3
1:16:34
billion parameter model at 23.8
tokens per second on a GPU that
1:16:38
was accelerated by an FPGA chip
that uses only 13 watts of
1:16:43
power. This could blow up in
video Well,
1:16:53
John C Dvorak: I don't know what
to make of that. Yeah, if
1:16:56
there's true I mean, it seems to
me that everything could be
1:16:58
blown up. If you just have some
guys out there that know what
1:17:02
they're doing. Yes, change the
math.
1:17:04
Adam Curry: Well, they
essentially doing without math
1:17:06
like yeah, we don't take you
1:17:08
John C Dvorak: without that type
of math, which I guess is
1:17:10
necessary to create whatever
they're doing. I'm not I'm on
1:17:14
familiar with it, but it's
obviously at the core of the
1:17:18
whole thing. And so somebody
just did a workaround and said,
1:17:21
Hey, you don't need this
bullcrap. You can run us a run
1:17:24
Adam Curry: on a Beelink
1:17:28
John C Dvorak: there's your
call. This goes out. There's
1:17:30
your callback
1:17:31
Adam Curry: until your hard disk
crashes. Yeah, exactly. I don't
1:17:34
know I love seeing that stuff.
Like oh, because I just I just
1:17:39
want to see it fall apart.
1:17:41
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I know you
do but it's gonna fall apart
1:17:43
whether you Is that
1:17:45
Adam Curry: wrong of one way or
wrong? I mean, I want to see
1:17:48
that fall apart. Is that bad?
1:17:50
John C Dvorak: It is I think
you're you're you're a hater.
1:17:53
That's what it is. I am wells
exhibiting your hatred of
1:17:57
anything that you're not
involved in? No, that's just a I
1:18:01
think it's a personality has
1:18:03
Adam Curry: nothing to do that
has nothing to do with it. A
1:18:06
thought AI was dumb from the
beginning. I my record stands.
1:18:09
Yeah,
1:18:10
John C Dvorak: I'm not you're
definitely consistent.
1:18:12
Unknown: Also new this morning.
major record labels are taking a
1:18:15
stand against AI and the
industry the Recording Industry
1:18:17
Association of America has filed
a lawsuit against AI music
1:18:21
companies suno and udio.
alleging copyright infringement.
1:18:24
The trade group represents some
titans in the industry, Sony
1:18:28
universal and Warner records.
The suit claims that companies
1:18:31
illegally copied recordings to
train their systems to produce
1:18:34
copyrighted music. This comes
after more than 200 artists
1:18:37
signed a letter in April calling
on AI companies to stop using
1:18:41
technology that takes away their
rights udio and suno have not
1:18:45
yet responded to the lawsuit.
1:18:47
Adam Curry: This is good man
that's you know stuff is
1:18:49
actually not bad. I've heard
some songs that came off that
1:18:53
like all right, but the last
well
1:18:55
John C Dvorak: it hits hits,
hits it was kind of like the hit
1:18:58
and miss of a regular singer
song right. Exactly,
1:19:01
Adam Curry: exactly. It has to
do with promotion has to do with
1:19:05
all kinds of things it can even
the weather can can determine a
1:19:08
hit if if people could create
hits, they will be doing it
1:19:11
already.
1:19:13
John C Dvorak: Then which used
to be this funny show on it was
1:19:17
on PBS or someplace it was a it
was a sit down with these
1:19:20
various producers and directors
and and when Peter Guber had
1:19:24
owned Sony I would not so but he
was running Sony's movies
1:19:30
division, it was kind of
scandalous era goober the
1:19:33
lawyer. No Peter Guber the
producer, oh, and he would he
1:19:40
said that after the first year
they did a bunch of these movies
1:19:43
and he says, and the Japanese
had took him into view to the
1:19:47
board meeting okay, what is your
work had you to accomplish
1:19:49
anything he says, Well, we had
this movie was a fail and this
1:19:53
was the fail this this movie did
well in this movie do well in
1:19:55
these other five movies failed?
And they said, Well, I don't
1:19:58
understand what you're doing
because why? Let's just do more
1:20:01
of these. Which
1:20:04
Adam Curry: I remember that used
to be at think new ideas, the
1:20:08
company that I had before me vo
before the.com crash. And we'd
1:20:14
have clients come to us and say,
Okay, we have here's what we
1:20:17
want. We want a viral video.
1:20:20
John C Dvorak: Like, I remember
this era, by the way, yeah.
1:20:23
Adam Curry: Can you make that go
viral? No, no, that's not really
1:20:27
how it works. Yeah, we want a
viral video. This is what
1:20:30
everyone's doing it now you
gotta have something funny. To
1:20:33
be a viral video. It's
1:20:35
John C Dvorak: got to catch on
is no way. That would do what's
1:20:39
going on with Trump right now in
these anti Biden videos, which
1:20:42
are being done by hordes of
pretty much from what I can tell
1:20:47
volunteers doing these things on
their own, and pumping them into
1:20:51
the Twitter and whatever
everywhere in Stein everywhere
1:20:54
pumping him into everything.
This is the end. A lot of them
1:20:57
are catching on. A lot of them
aren't. But this is the only way
1:20:59
you can do it. And it's not
something you can control. So
1:21:03
nobody's doing on the Biden
side. No,
1:21:05
Adam Curry: they can't. There's
something funny, they have no
1:21:08
humor. That's right. They have
no humor. It's really odd.
1:21:12
Because Americans have humor in
general. We're funny. And the
1:21:17
left and right used to be funny
on both sides. What happened?
1:21:20
What happened? When did that
change?
1:21:23
Unknown: It's like a like a
brain
1:21:25
John C Dvorak: blur. You know,
it's it was a slow I think it's
1:21:27
been a slow thing. It's been
slow rain
1:21:29
Adam Curry: cork. So here's your
analogy. A lot of people sent in
1:21:34
a lot of thoughtful responses to
what caused the video game crash
1:21:39
in the 80s. And you saw them you
saw a lot of these. Yeah, the
1:21:45
one thing that's very consistent
is the failure of the E T game.
1:21:49
Everybody has that as a part of
it. And didn't they just didn't
1:21:53
they go and did they? Did they
destroy them in the desert or
1:21:58
something or throw them into a
landfill in New Mexico and
1:22:02
crushed
1:22:02
John C Dvorak: more than one
example losers' finding a dump,
1:22:07
and then taking 1000s and 1000s
of cartridges and putting them
1:22:11
in there?
1:22:12
Adam Curry: I think it was, it
was a new story even. Yeah,
1:22:15
John C Dvorak: but that wasn't
the only game that was put in
1:22:18
the landfill. But yes, the E T
game and I think the problem
1:22:22
was, it was overhyped. It was no
good. And, and people lost
1:22:30
confidence in the whole system
went because I, you can if you
1:22:35
take in, you trick people into
thinking something's good,
1:22:39
through marketing and through
hype and through whatever. And
1:22:43
then they're no good at that
thing. This is happening to
1:22:45
Biden, by the way. Well,
1:22:47
Adam Curry: wouldn't it be cool
to get really irked about it,
1:22:49
it'd be cool if had to throw all
those NVIDIA GPUs into a big
1:22:52
landfill and crush them with a
bulldozer.
1:22:56
John C Dvorak: I think hobbyists
would grab that. Oh, yeah, my
1:23:00
mom.
1:23:00
Adam Curry: Of course, they're
lots of fun to play with. And
1:23:04
then the final this, I think
this is quite troublesome,
1:23:06
particularly for podcasters for
presidential candidates. For
1:23:09
anybody. This is an AI
development, which is a very big
1:23:12
problem on
1:23:13
Unknown: the medical is
detecting Alzheimer's by
1:23:15
listening to the way someone
speaks. A new AI tool has the
1:23:19
power. Boston University
researchers used a machine
1:23:22
learning model to analyze speech
patterns with a high degree of
1:23:25
accuracy, they were able to
predict whether someone with
1:23:28
mild cognitive impairment would
develop Alzheimer's dementia
1:23:32
within six years. Typically,
assessments to diagnose
1:23:35
Alzheimer's do not come back in
time to make meaningful
1:23:39
decisions about interventions to
slow the progression of the mind
1:23:42
robbing disease. The AI program
was nearly 80% accurate in
1:23:47
determining whether someone
would remain stable or fall into
1:23:51
dementia associated with
Alzheimer's. We
1:23:53
Adam Curry: need to do some of
this work. This is here's an
1:23:55
exit.
1:23:56
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you know, I
think Hold on a second. And you
1:23:59
know, I think that this entire
story is a plan to is to hurt
1:24:05
Adam Curry: Biden, some well
hurt anybody, anybody you want.
1:24:08
No, I
1:24:09
John C Dvorak: think this is a
Biden. This is another one of
1:24:11
these weird, targeted anti Biden
things that's going on right
1:24:16
now. Just because of
association. You start talking
1:24:19
about oh, AI can spot
Alzheimer's and just over never
1:24:22
mentioned Biden, of course,
good, but it's the first thing
1:24:24
you think that's the weird thing
is this is bullcrap.
1:24:28
Adam Curry: That's the weird
thing. The associations Oh,
1:24:29
Biden. Yeah.
1:24:31
John C Dvorak: At best first
thing and I thought, I'm going
1:24:33
to story start playing but if
you have
1:24:35
Adam Curry: that kind of voice
recognition, or the illusion of
1:24:38
that kind of recognition can be
all kinds of cool stuff. You
1:24:41
know, will you turn into an axe?
1:24:43
John C Dvorak: Well, you can use
it as a as a lie detector.
1:24:46
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, you
1:24:47
John C Dvorak: might pose idli
these computers have done years
1:24:50
ago, there's Oh yeah, we got
this situation here and you can
1:24:53
talk into the computer and we
can tell if you're lying. You
1:24:56
can take
1:24:56
Adam Curry: your teenage girls
and you say okay, talking here.
1:24:59
Oh, you're a boy. way, there it
is. And with that, I'd like to
1:25:03
thank you for your courage
saying the morning to you the
1:25:05
man who put the scene Captain
chaos say hello to my friend on
1:25:08
the other end the one and only
Mr. Jobs.
1:25:14
John C Dvorak: In the morning it
was Adam curry and you gave him
1:25:16
a gigantic agenda. Yes. Warren
Davidson is out there. Wow, good
1:25:19
Biden invitation.
1:25:20
Adam Curry: Hello, Joe. We got
1657 trolls on board today. That
1:25:29
is a step up from the 1609. On
the last Thursday, which I did
1:25:32
live from Amsterdam, the
Netherlands from the airport,
1:25:36
the trolls are in the troll room
at troll room.io. And of course,
1:25:39
they may also be listening on a
modern podcast that tried true
1:25:42
fans, true fans, the web app,
you can use it on any device,
1:25:47
you don't need to install
anything. And it'll give you an
1:25:50
alert. Actually, this is quite
cool how web apps can give
1:25:53
alerts these days. It'll give
you an alert when we go live. It
1:25:57
can also alert you when we
published 90 seconds after that
1:25:59
using the pod pink technology
all part of the independent
1:26:02
paying independent decentralized
podcasting 2.0. the only the
1:26:09
only media format and
distribution system that is not
1:26:12
prone to deep platforming or
censorship. Of course, there's
1:26:16
no way to make money in it
either. I got a clip that there
1:26:20
was some some black podcasters
and they were moaning about how
1:26:25
pod everyone in podcasting is
broke. There's no more minimum
1:26:30
guarantees, the bottom is
falling out. Oh, that's because
1:26:34
they were dependent. They were
Yes, they were dependent on
1:26:36
Spotify money. And Spotify
pulled the plug and everything
1:26:40
fell apart except for this show.
Because our producers support
1:26:44
us. And they do those
1:26:46
John C Dvorak: black guys that
distribute their podcasts any
1:26:48
good. They could do the same
thing.
1:26:50
Adam Curry: It's actually the
black girls, which is even
1:26:52
funnier.
1:26:54
John C Dvorak: podcast is any
good, they could do the same
1:26:56
thing. You know, the
1:26:57
Adam Curry: so we we have the
value for value model, which we
1:27:01
developed over the past only 17
years in in October. And we
1:27:07
decided that the best way to
keep doing this is by having our
1:27:11
producers support us with time,
talent or treasure. We had a
1:27:15
good example of talent and time
is the boots on the ground
1:27:19
reports people hitting people in
the mouth people doing
1:27:22
organizing meetups, people
creating clips, creating jingles
1:27:25
helping us out in general stuff
that the mainstream can't even
1:27:29
do with their paid producers.
How many producers can you have?
1:27:33
On a show like this? None. Okay,
maybe one. But then you have to
1:27:37
give up your Neumann mics. So
you know, it's this is this is a
1:27:41
perfect model. It's a
rollercoaster often, but it's a
1:27:44
model that works. And we have
another adopter. This is the
1:27:49
let's see, this is uncharted X.
1:27:51
Unknown: A quick note to let you
know that this video is being
1:27:54
brought to you by my amazing
supportive community and the
1:27:57
value value model. I don't do
sponsorship deals on this
1:28:00
channel. I also much prefer to
operate under the value for
1:28:03
value model. And if you get some
value from my work, please
1:28:07
consider returning some of that
value to me, whatever it means
1:28:10
to you in time, talent or
treasure. My New Channel Intro
1:28:14
is a result of this model as
many of the graphics in my logos
1:28:18
see
1:28:18
Adam Curry: this even working in
the UK
1:28:21
John C Dvorak: people well you
know it's the works that's the
1:28:24
thing it
1:28:24
Adam Curry: works and to prove
it we go to the Treasurer
1:28:27
portion this is where it now we
do two donations segments we'd
1:28:30
like to thank our executive and
Associate Executive Producers
1:28:33
right here which is $200 Above
we read your note that you're an
1:28:36
associate $300 and above you're
an executive producer and kind
1:28:41
of like Hollywood you know in a
fact that's exactly like
1:28:43
Hollywood because these are real
credits you can use them
1:28:45
anywhere you can put them on
your IMDB and coming in top dog
1:28:49
one way way What
1:28:50
John C Dvorak: about the art?
1:28:52
Adam Curry: Oh, I'm sorry, I
forgot I forgot that two weeks
1:28:54
ago to deny.
1:28:55
John C Dvorak: Yeah and last and
then you condemned me for not
1:28:58
catching it this time. I caught
it. Good
1:29:00
Adam Curry: job. We want to
thank the immense talent from
1:29:04
our artists all of them. Not bar
none all of them Dutch masters.
1:29:09
It's amazing that we have these
Dutch masters creating this for
1:29:12
us. And the artwork from Episode
1671 You can find all these at
1:29:17
no agenda art generator.com We
titled that it's the boyfriend
1:29:21
and the art came from Sir Schug
aka fo diddley classic, classic
1:29:28
no agenda. Product shot pack
pack shot the new gigabyte
1:29:35
crunch with us it was the
Nestle's crunch bar with even
1:29:39
had no agenda and that was the
best part I think.
1:29:42
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the no
agenda logo is done in the
1:29:45
Nestle's there
1:29:46
Adam Curry: was a nice touch rip
off is beautiful. was a nice
1:29:50
touch. Let me see what else we
had we had babies vaping I kind
1:29:56
of liked that you didn't like
it. You thought it was something
1:29:58
wrong with it. When we kind of
like Matthew drop COEs although
1:30:05
it was very AI II AI II you know
the dude trying to keep us on
1:30:10
the air and everything blowing
up he had two of those actually.
1:30:14
Yeah,
1:30:14
John C Dvorak: one with three
arms, which was actually better.
1:30:16
Yeah, because it was classic AI.
And we had a couple of seasons
1:30:20
and a girl walks down the street
with all the boiling with the
1:30:23
eggs frying on the street. Yeah,
1:30:25
Adam Curry: was a bit more even.
You thought that was a bit much?
1:30:29
Yeah. Was there anything else
extrapolated
1:30:32
John C Dvorak: to candy bar
quite a bit. Yeah, the
1:30:34
Adam Curry: candy bar was good.
That was That's classic, no
1:30:37
agenda, product shots. Always a
winner a lot of heat warning
1:30:41
things. And of course again,
it's a Dutch master So shall we
1:30:46

art generator.com. You can see
1:30:50
all the artwork there you can
contribute you can upload your
1:30:52
own art and and be in the race.
Of course, these artists are
1:30:56
listening live. So they do it on
the fly, which is amazing to me
1:31:00
how they do except for the AI
jockeys, the prompt jockeys. I
1:31:02
get it.
1:31:03
John C Dvorak: Well, that's
everybody now.
1:31:04
Adam Curry: Yeah, pretty much. I
can tell you everything that's
1:31:08
been uploaded so far is not
going to get chosen. Because all
1:31:11
AI
1:31:12
John C Dvorak: is all a I have
to admit, I think the piece with
1:31:16
the drooling bug guide, Biden
were called juiced and ready is
1:31:23
at least younger is by Rick
Harris.
1:31:27
Adam Curry: I do like the the
flags on his lapel too. Right.
1:31:34
These also show up in our
chapters, Dred Scott always put
1:31:37
that together in your modern
podcast app. So you can see all
1:31:40
of the rotating as we go through
different topics on the show.
1:31:43
Now back to our executive
producers and our Associate
1:31:46
Executive Producer, he comes in
usually once a month, sometimes
1:31:49
it's six weeks, and here he is
once again Serrana Miss of
1:31:52
Dogpatch and lower Slobo via a
number that is always a code of
1:31:58
some sort. baffling to us. 3612
I'm going to presume this came
1:32:06
in from came in cash. It came in
with at least one $2 bill and it
1:32:11
came in from some mailbox
somewhere in the country. As
1:32:16
usual.
1:32:17
John C Dvorak: It came in with
six $2 bills. Oh,
1:32:21
Adam Curry: oh, yes. Five for 12
Okay. And in this typewritten
1:32:26
note, from Toronto, Mr. Dogpatch
Hello, hello Bovee I hope all
1:32:31
had a Blessed Eid Al Adha Eid Al
Adha I think it's not even Eid
1:32:36
Al Adha Thank you.
1:32:38
John C Dvorak: We were wondering
if he was going to come in
1:32:39
because he every year he always
comes in Eid donation. I
1:32:43
Adam Curry: wonder if he was at
the Hodge thing.
1:32:47
John C Dvorak: I'm sure he's
been to the Heisman and that he
1:32:49
didn't let out if he does.
saralee and he has a note this
1:32:52
one he has
1:32:53
Adam Curry: a note he wants to
share with everyone. Thank you
1:32:55
to all older new producers for
making this a valuable source of
1:32:59
information perspective and
insight. The hard work and ball
1:33:03
sweat from Wow sir autonomous.
This is a twist. This is a
1:33:08
twist. The hard work and ball
sweat from the two hosts plus
1:33:11
the work of other producers
offers wonderful value. As I
1:33:15
travel. He always has a little
eat. He's always on the road. As
1:33:18
I travel I noticed.
1:33:19
John C Dvorak: We wonder what he
does. I believe he's a salesman.
1:33:24
Adam Curry: As I travel I am
noting some empty international
1:33:27
airline seats and easier hotel
bookings. I don't always go to
1:33:31
the best countries. But
availability is getting easier
1:33:35
as well. Carrying USD and my
overseas travel as emergency
1:33:39
backup. I have found it
impossible to get new $100 bills
1:33:44
as older ones are commonly
discounted in less reputable
1:33:48
countries. That's interesting.
Political fundraising has
1:33:53
already made $2 bills scarce and
now large new bills except for
1:33:58
$10 bills are difficult to get
digital dollars seem easier to
1:34:02
print. You got that right
brother. Finally, to cross the
1:34:06
bridge from the tolls scurry
from the war in Sudan. To cross
1:34:11
the bridge from the toll scurry
from the war in Sudan is
1:34:14
expected to cause almost as many
deaths from famine by September
1:34:18
as the population of the West
Bank. He's making a point here.
1:34:23
The bricks are growing because
they give a damn about their own
1:34:26
people. The UN operates like a
military planner fighting the
1:34:29
last war explaining why the UK
and France are permanent
1:34:34
members. No jingles, no karma.
So he's dropping some wisdom
1:34:38
here.
1:34:38
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he's got
some misses eating up his Mama's
1:34:42
craw there. Yeah, especially the
UK and France and the UN. He's a
1:34:46
little
1:34:46
Adam Curry: mad about that.
Well, well, that's the war
1:34:48
machine.
1:34:49
John C Dvorak: This show hates
it, too. Yeah, yes. Very wide
1:34:52
doughnuts.
1:34:53
Adam Curry: Thank you very much,
sir animus of Dogpatch and Lois
1:34:56
LeBeau via always making it a
happy happy month at the end of
1:34:59
the month. Happy eat. Yes
1:35:01
John C Dvorak: it does. It makes
a big difference. Yes, it does.
1:35:03
Thank you, sir. Onward with me a
note open with Anonymous from
1:35:11
Qurans Bong Correns Bong, which
is typically sounds like an
1:35:16
Australian city and it is, I
guess in New South Wales. He
1:35:20
came up with the 898 70, which
1:35:23
Adam Curry: I think was 1000.
Australian probably probably.
1:35:28
John C Dvorak: But he says it m
value for value T type three at
1:35:31
us one dollars slash hour. In
other words, he's $1 an hour is
1:35:36
what his donation is. That's
what it is. He's listening for
1:35:39
898 hours and 70 point 70 Thank
you for your courage. No jingles
1:35:43
no karma also, I don't want $1
We do discount knighthood. Thank
1:35:48
you.
1:35:49
Adam Curry: All right. None
given. Thank you anonymous.

Adam Curry: mount Riverview also
from downunder How about that
1:36:07
random number theory? Not so
random though. 6.66. He says
1:36:12
here's my donation the devils in
the detail. With this donation I
1:36:17
removed my longtime douchebag
status and acknowledge my past
1:36:20
hypocrisy. I'll de deuced I am
an atheist, perhaps agnostic
1:36:29
since I don't see the proof in a
god and doubt religion yet,
1:36:32
until the last year, I never
questioned the climate change
1:36:35
religion and its prophets of
doom. And thanks to no agenda, I
1:36:39
have seen the errors of my ways.
If you don't know the data fed
1:36:43
into the models, how the models
work, and what comes out of the
1:36:45
models told to you from on high.
You just can't be proven that
1:36:49
it's that it is but just believe
for belief sake. Amen. Thanks
1:36:54
for hitting me in the mouth with
a bit more common sense.
1:36:56
Regards, Paul Vendrell from the
testing grounds Down Under in
1:37:00
Australia. Yes, you are the
testing grounds.
1:37:02
John C Dvorak: Thank you. Oh,
that's true. Yeah, we talked
1:37:05
about that last year that's may
have contributed to gotten two
1:37:07
people to contribute. It worked.

1:37:53

got our final Associate
1:43:12
Executive Producer ship for
Nellie grossen Bakker from Mesa,
1:43:16
Arizona. I'll read her note and
then you can explain the much
1:43:19
longer note which you were quite
interested in. She says thank
1:43:22
you for the work that you both
do. I've been listening to no
1:43:24
agenda since January of 2019.
Right after I was thrown into
1:43:27
the disaster written out below
short story. Here is your
1:43:31
portion of our winnings against
Rockland County, New York County
1:43:34
exit executor, 14 families
fought for five years to prove
1:43:39
that our healthy unvaccinated
children were treated unjustly
1:43:43
when they were excluded from
schooling during the great New
1:43:45
York measles epidemic of
2018 2019. Which we of course,
1:43:50
followed quite closely on the
show because boy, what a bunch
1:43:54
of crock that was. And you got
the you got the full writing
1:43:59
from her John.
1:44:00
John C Dvorak: She wrote a long
essay, which I'm thinking of
1:44:04
running in my substack column is
so good about how her kids she
1:44:11
didn't want to get the MMR
vaccine. And that would be
1:44:15
probably a wise decision in some
situations when she believed
1:44:18
that she didn't need it. And
Measles is not that big of a
1:44:21
deal. And generally speaking,
it's true. Not people are
1:44:26
dropping dead from it. And they
kicked her out, kicked her and
1:44:31
her family out of the school.
Yeah, you can't come in. And it
1:44:34
says she has it's a long story.
But it's very interesting and
1:44:37
Unknown: you're actually
thinking of republishing it.
1:44:40
Yeah, I've
1:44:41
John C Dvorak: got that one. And
there's another educational one
1:44:43
from some one of a teacher out
there. Yes, I'm thinking of
1:44:48
republishing it and some other
ones. I think I'm going to do
1:44:51
that.
1:44:51
Adam Curry: It's nice to see all
these people getting some
1:44:53
respite. Is that the right term
respite? There do getting there
1:44:58
do like the pilots want the
pilots to Get there. Do we want
1:45:01
all these people to get there do
takes time. But Justice
1:45:05
ultimately takes time
1:45:06
John C Dvorak: and who has the
time? That's the problem. Well,
1:45:09
we're busy podcasts the whole
system is set up that way. So us
1:45:12
Yeah, okay, well, maybe you'll
beat us but you're gonna have
1:45:14
to, it's gonna cost you time and
money.
1:45:17
Adam Curry: Thank you to these

1:45:18

our second segment once again
1:45:44
thank you for producing episode
1672 Our
1:45:49
Unknown: formula is this we go
out yet people in the mouth
1:46:08
Yeah, shut up slave.
1:46:11
John C Dvorak: I'm gonna get
some Gaza stuff out of the way.
1:46:14
Okay. So now I'm going to play
this play these guys, Lloyd
1:46:18
Austin Gaza report.
1:46:21
Adam Curry: No, and the good NTD
bit
1:46:23
Unknown: defense secretary Lloyd
Austin is meeting his Israeli
1:46:25
counterpart in Washington today
that says controversy is taking
1:46:29
hold in Israel as the military
has to start drafting ultra
1:46:33
orthodox men and he's
INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT area
1:46:36
and post art house the Israel
update.
1:46:39
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin
is meeting his Israeli
1:46:42
counterpart in DC.
1:46:44
Adam Curry: Now finally, this is
NTD man that lead is no good.
1:46:48
They gotta have this guy on all
the time.
1:46:50
John C Dvorak: He's great. He's
perfect
1:46:51
Unknown: Secretary Lloyd Austin
is meeting his Israeli
1:46:54
counterpart in DC. Now the
meeting comes as Israel plans to
1:46:58
move troops from Gaza to the
Lebanese border to tackle
1:47:01
Hezbollah. But this plan of
course is increasing concerns
1:47:05
about a wider conflict in the
region.
1:47:08
I am extremely concerned about
the rise and rocket attacks on
1:47:12
Israel's north from Lebanese
Hezbollah, and the recent surge
1:47:16
in tensions. Austin
1:47:18
says that a war between Israel
and Hezbollah could easily
1:47:21
become a regional conflict.
Israel's national security
1:47:24
adviser says they will spend
weeks using diplomatic means to
1:47:27
try to find a middle ground with
the Iran backed terrorist group.
1:47:31
But if that doesn't work, they
will use different methods to
1:47:33
attempt to bring calm to the
Israel Lebanon border. The US is
1:47:37
urging Israel to use diplomacy
although provocations are
1:47:41
ramping up, whose rose
1:47:43
provocations threatened to drag
the Israeli and Lebanese people
1:47:47
into a war that they do not
want.
1:47:49
Meanwhile, in Israel, the
Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled
1:47:52
that the military must begin
drafting ultra orthodox men
1:47:56
Israelis are divided
1:47:58
at a time of war at a time of
war. Everyone has to make that
1:48:04
take that part
1:48:04
it's not a good decision but why
is not a good decision because
1:48:08
the army is not does not respect
the people. They don't respect
1:48:16
it.
1:48:16
The historic ruling puts an end
to a decade's old system that
1:48:20
granted ultra orthodox men
exemptions from military service
1:48:24
Adam Curry: as is pretty
controversial.
1:48:26
John C Dvorak: Oh yes a big
deal.
1:48:27
Adam Curry: Can this bring BB
down? Oh, I
1:48:31
John C Dvorak: don't think so. I
think the most I think the
1:48:33
Israeli population as a whole
first of all, they don't like
1:48:36
these people. When I was in
Israel, I got a tour
1:48:42
Adam Curry: from pretty
elaborate AIPAC babysitter you
1:48:45
know, the one who's still
1:48:46
John C Dvorak: sends us just as
a guy who was publishing PC
1:48:48
Magazine Israel at the time
though, and he took me all over
1:48:52
the country I went everywhere
and north south in between, and
1:48:56
he took me to one of the quote
unquote villages where these
1:49:00
ascetics live and you could just
tell that the Israelis as a
1:49:06
whole they don't like him. They
don't like these these people
1:49:09
and they think they're pigs
literally is what he said. And
1:49:12
he's right Teresa look at a guy
named David into place was kind
1:49:15
of garbage garbage. He was a
meshed. And they really don't
1:49:20
like these people. So I don't
think this is gonna be of
1:49:22
anything. You know. I think it
may have been done to keep keep
1:49:26
BB in office. Just the opposite.
Oh,
1:49:28
Adam Curry: interesting. Okay.
1:49:32
Unknown: So part two of this
clip, the head of the UN
1:49:35
Palestinian refugee agency says
it's getting more complicated to
1:49:38
move drugs with aid from Israel
into Gaza. We
1:49:41
are confronted nowadays to a
near total breakdown of law and
1:49:47
order. The
1:49:48
US State Department explained
the problem on Tuesday,
1:49:51
random looting and criminal
gangs and criminal actors who
1:49:54
have been attacking trucks.
1:49:55
He added that the US is now
working on a solution. One
1:49:59
option is to give us that
personal protective equipment so
1:50:03
they can defend themselves
against violent gangs which are
1:50:05
building up.
1:50:06
Adam Curry: Oh, PPE they're
gonna get masks. He said
1:50:12
personal protective equipment
PPE this mask. One of those
1:50:16
Lloyd awesome face shields. I
have a CBS version of the ultra
1:50:20
orthodox report following
1:50:22
Unknown: some breaking
developments out of Israel this
1:50:23
morning that could threaten
Prime Minister Benjamin
1:50:26
Netanyahu is grip on power
there. Oh, see they think it's
1:50:29
could threaten his grip. Israel
Supreme Court has ruled that
1:50:32
they
1:50:32
John C Dvorak: would stop for
saying, you know, American
1:50:35
mainstream media has hates him
for some reason. And every
1:50:39
report that they give us that He
is, is always negative. But if
1:50:43
you get reports outside of the
country, it's the you don't hear
1:50:47
any of this I I'm not buying
this this idea that he's he's
1:50:52
gone. They're
1:50:53
Adam Curry: running cover for
Biden they're running cover we
1:50:55
send we send weapons they run
cover. Bibi pretends we didn't
1:50:59
origin send it as running cover.
It's all BS come on CBS come on
1:51:07
in Prime
1:51:07
Unknown: Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu is grip on power there
1:51:10
Israel Supreme Court has ruled
that ultra orthodox religious
1:51:13
men must be drafted into the
military. They're like just
1:51:16
about everyone else. Most Jewish
Israeli men and women are
1:51:19
required at age 18. To serve in
the armed forces starting at 18
1:51:23
for two to three years, two for
women, three for men, but ultra
1:51:26
orthodox communities had been
exempted from the rule. The
1:51:29
court's decision could lead to
Netanyahu losing support from
1:51:32
ultra orthodox parties and his
coalition government which could
1:51:35
trigger new elections, the head
of one of those parties called
1:51:39
the ruling quote very
unfortunate and disappointing.
1:51:42
Adam Curry: I don't think that's
true. I thought only only
1:51:44
Netanyahu can call new elections
can just be triggered if there's
1:51:48
a
1:51:49
John C Dvorak: parliamentary
crisis. I have to do some
1:51:52
research to know for sure.
1:51:53
Adam Curry: This whole this
whole Lebanon thing is so
1:51:56
annoying. Alright, so we've
cleaned up Gaza, but now we're
1:51:59
going to keep going.
1:52:04
John C Dvorak: Got me?
1:52:05
Adam Curry: I have a wonderful,
1:52:07
John C Dvorak: I'm baffled by a
sight. But I would be kind of
1:52:10
it's the war machine. It's the
war machine. And we're behind
1:52:13
it. Yes.
1:52:14
Adam Curry: Thank you. It's the
war machine. In fact, I have a
1:52:18
have a great there was a great
advertisement on CNN A, which is
1:52:24
think the China News Agency.
Yeah, I think so. Well, I don't
1:52:28
know whose side they're on. But
this is an obvious Whoa, boy, we
1:52:32
need more money. We need money
we mean money because we don't
1:52:35
have this gear.
1:52:37
Unknown: hypersonic missiles
tipped with either conventional
1:52:40
or nuclear warheads can hone in
on their targets at least five
1:52:43
times faster than the speed of
sound. They are a new threat.
1:52:47
Because weapons that effectively
counter them are yet to be fully
1:52:50
developed and deployed. And that
could redefine the global
1:52:54
balance of military power. China
is seem to be leading the world.
1:52:58
When it comes to building up its
arsenal, a milestone The United
1:53:02
States has acknowledged. Two
notable missiles are the de F
1:53:06
17, a medium range ballistic
missile equipped with a
1:53:10
hypersonic glide vehicle, and
the DF 41, which can be armed
1:53:14
with up to a dozen nuclear
capable warheads. Russia, and
1:53:19
another producer of the high
speed projectiles is the first
1:53:22
country to use them in combat.
At least two types are known to
1:53:25
have been deployed so far. And
it's invasion of Ukraine. That's
1:53:29
the air launch kinjal or dagger,
and the sea launched zircon,
1:53:34
which uses a hypersonic glide
vehicle. Now
1:53:37
Adam Curry: I think we need to
have some congressional
1:53:39
hearings. Well,
1:53:40
John C Dvorak: what just
happened? We should know to my
1:53:43
as I put this in there, it's not
covered by the mainstream, but
1:53:45
it's covered by the news defense
newsletters is the chief of the
1:53:50
next generation ICBM project was
fired. So the government went
1:53:56
way over budget, they didn't
know what to do about it. They
1:53:58
can't seem to get this next
generation this problem with all
1:54:01
of our next generation
technologies. Nobody can it just
1:54:05
overruns they don't they can't
estimate correctly. It's
1:54:09
horrible. And so this guy got
canned and now we're just
1:54:13
basically just blown into when
we don't have anybody running
1:54:16
the probe program basically over
the next generation ICBM which
1:54:20
is supposed to have been done by
now it's not even close well I
1:54:23
Adam Curry: take this c and a c
and a report to be some kind of
1:54:26
propaganda for the for the war
machines like you know, you
1:54:30
know, China's got him Russia's
got them, you know, could change
1:54:34
the global power balance. We
need it. Need some money? Yeah,
1:54:42
you can just wait for it. Yeah,
let's
1:54:44
John C Dvorak: definitely need
money. We need money.
1:54:47
Adam Curry: I thought was kind
of funny. This interview a
1:54:50
little bit here with Jack Reed
who was a Democrat from Rhode
1:54:53
Island. About the draft of
course. There's always been talk
1:54:58
of of drafting we In the United
States, and here
1:55:02
Unknown: we are, Senator, one
thing on your plate right now is
1:55:05
the National Defense
Authorization Act. I mean, this
1:55:07
is for all who don't follow the
NDAA. This is a massive bill
1:55:12
that sets Pentagon policy
guiding funding for the year
1:55:15
ahead, sets
1:55:16
Adam Curry: policy. No, it robs
us of $900 billion policy,
1:55:22
included
1:55:23
Unknown: this time in various
versions is proposal that would
1:55:26
make registering for the draft
automatic, and also move in the
1:55:29
Senate to expand it to women for
the first time. What's going to
1:55:33
happen with this?
1:55:36
John C Dvorak: Well, I think is
an entirely sensible idea. It
1:55:40
was recommended by a national
bipartisan commission on
1:55:45
national service. And we took
that recommendation, and it was
1:55:49
in 2016, and 2017, publicly
supported by all uniform Chiefs
1:55:54
of Staff, because it makes
sense. 17% of the military today
1:55:59
is composed of women, they're in
every aspect of service, combat
1:56:03
arms, technical services, etc.
And we're in a situation where
1:56:08
all we're trying to do is
register, there's no draft in
1:56:14
place today. It would take
Congress to act to pass
1:56:18
legislation to create a draft.
And in that legislation, they
1:56:22
could make distinctions,
clarifications, whatever
1:56:25
Congress thought, but without
this registration requirement,
1:56:30
we are missing on a vast pool of
talent. I mean, it's
1:56:35
interesting, we're talking about
Israel, their armed forces have
1:56:38
been gender neutral for
1:56:43
Adam Curry: Israel. Yeah. Now
Israel's great
1:56:46
John C Dvorak: gender neutral
for decades and decades and
1:56:49
decades. And they're the one
most effective fighting forces
1:56:53
in the country, in
1:56:54
Adam Curry: the country. Are
they here? Are they fighting
1:56:56
here? The country? It's a good
one No, no, none of the country.
1:57:01
This fits neatly into an
executive order. Or a executive
1:57:07
pardon from President Biden,
which came out the day before
1:57:11
yesterday, President
1:57:12
Unknown: Joe Biden will pardoned
1000s of US military veterans
1:57:15
who were convicted under a law
that banned gay sex article 125
1:57:19
of the Uniform Code of Military
Justice was in place from 1951
1:57:23
through 2013 1000s of service
members were convicted and faced
1:57:28
court martialed during that
time, President Biden said in a
1:57:31
statement that he's writing a
wrong for those service members
1:57:34
who were convicted for simply
being themselves. The White
1:57:37
House says 1000s of veterans
will be impacted by the move.
1:57:41
Anyone convicted for non
consensual acts will not be
1:57:44
pardoned.
1:57:45
Adam Curry: Now, this is
interesting, from a number of
1:57:47
perspectives. First of all, this
was overturned in 2013 during
1:57:51
Obama, but the actual article
125 is being played every day.
1:58:00
If you just do a search,
article, code, USC 925, article
1:58:07
125, you'll get LGBTQ LGBTQ
pride flags, all beautiful, it's
1:58:13
all great go, Joe. But this was
actually about one thing, sodomy
1:58:20
wasn't a gay thing, per se. It
was it was obviously not a very
1:58:25
modern thought. But any person
subject to this chapter who
1:58:30
engages in unnatural carnal
copulation with another person
1:58:35
of the same or opposite sex or
with an animal is guilty of
1:58:40
sodomy. penetration, however
slight, is sufficient to
1:58:44
complete the offense.
1:58:48
Unknown: Just wanted to be
correct on that.
1:58:52
Adam Curry: Thought it was
interesting. Yeah.
1:58:55
John C Dvorak: This is a another
lame attempt by Biden to buy
1:58:59
votes. Yeah. LGBT, as it turns
out, that everybody that was
1:59:02
kicked out, will get money, they
get the money that they would
1:59:05
have had. And if they're dead,
your family will get the money.
1:59:10
Somebody gets money. Yeah, yeah.
So there's another giveaway.
1:59:13
Yes.
1:59:15
Unknown: Yes. Yes. You're right.
1:59:21
John C Dvorak: There's he does a
good job of that. Yeah. Well, he
1:59:23
Adam Curry: also, he tried that
with the he tried that with the
1:59:30
was it the student loans?
1:59:34
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we take
down a couple of shots at that.
1:59:36
That got turned down. Dad got
turned down. They got rebooted.
1:59:40
Yeah, let
1:59:40
Adam Curry: me see. I think I
have it
1:59:41
John C Dvorak: here. And some
people do have some free money.
1:59:45
Adam Curry: Let me see. Well,
actually, let me see, says MDC.
1:59:49
Tonight
1:59:49
Unknown: a campaign promise
aimed at millions of student
1:59:52
borrowers, is in the balance.
1:59:55
We made a commitment to fix our
broken student loan system broke
1:59:58
one of
1:59:58
President Biden's programs to
slash student loan debt is
2:00:02
partially on hold. After two
federal judges temporarily
2:00:06
blocked further relief from
what's known as the safe plan. 8
2:00:10
million borrowers are enrolled
in the program that ties the
2:00:13
amount of loan repayment to
income and family size. Under
2:00:18
its rules, about 4 million
borrowers qualify for no monthly
2:00:22
payment, others get a deep
reduction. Austin Davis is a
2:00:26
special education teacher who
says he and his wife Brooke saw
2:00:30
their monthly payments dropped
from nearly $1,600 down to $480.
2:00:36
Without this, we would not have
been able to afford the cost to
2:00:41
be able to have our own house to
live with our daughter.
2:00:44
Two separate lawsuits were
brought by Republican attorneys
2:00:47
general across 18 states,
arguing that the education
2:00:51
secretary overstepped his
authority, and that states
2:00:54
holding loans could
2:00:56
be harmed. But
2:00:57
President has no textual basis
in law for this plan, and
2:01:01
I'm not gonna let Joe Biden
saddle working misery families
2:01:03
with ivy league
2:01:04
education secretary Miguel
Cardona late today, people
2:01:08
shouldn't have to choose between
groceries and the student loans.
2:01:13
Some Republicans are working
harder to stop what we're doing
2:01:15
to help than to offer any
solutions.
2:01:18
The administration says it
intends to vigorously defend the
2:01:21
relief program.
2:01:23
God
2:01:26
Adam Curry: just more left,
right, left, right. Get mad.
2:01:30
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it was she
get mad. Hey, Tina,
2:01:32
Adam Curry: I went to the school
board meeting here last Tuesday.
2:01:36
Okay, why? Oh, it was? Well,
because we were asked to come
2:01:42
and be in the audience. Because
a number of people were going to
2:01:46
speak against the books. And I
thought, well, this is I'd like
2:01:50
to know what's going on with
this. You know, this is all the
2:01:52
all the books all the I have
examples in the book these
2:01:56
books, I would not even read
them on the show.
2:01:58
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I mean,
books that promoting sodomy.
2:02:01
That should bring it out. Yeah,
2:02:02
Adam Curry: I mean, really, like
with your grandpa and all kinds
2:02:05
of was really weird. And so it's
gotten to the point where these
2:02:10
books are in the Fredericksburg
school, but they're in a special
2:02:14
room that's locked in, you have
to get parent's permission to go
2:02:19
in and read them. Which of
course nobody does. No, of
2:02:23
course not. Why would you and so
a number of people spoke a lot
2:02:27
of very, very upset moms. And
Charlie was amazing. Everyone
2:02:31
just just looked at them, or
didn't even look at them,
2:02:34
really. And then the meeting
just kept on going. No, there
2:02:37
was no discussion about it. And
I realized, everyone's in, like
2:02:43
iron. So just you know, they're
like, they're stuck. No one can
2:02:45
say anything. No one can discuss
it. They the school board has
2:02:49
been told that they can't get
rid of these books, because then
2:02:52
the ACLU will sue them
personally. The whole thing is
2:02:55
is a mess. And meanwhile, the
handing out trophies, I swear to
2:03:00
God a trophy, three feet high to
a teacher with the best
2:03:03
attendance record. That was the
most bizarre thing I've ever
2:03:06
seen. No clapping, no clapping.
Yay. It was it was it's sad,
2:03:13
really. And then you hear the
moms like, well, they're not
2:03:17
learning anything. They're on
their phone three hours a day.
2:03:19
And it's like, what is going on?
We've gotten to this point where
2:03:24
the schools are no good. It's
completely rotten to the core.
2:03:28
And there's some administrator
who no one wanted the job that
2:03:31
to bring some guy in from Tyler,
Texas. He doesn't even live
2:03:33
here. And yeah, and I don't
know, it's just this You're
2:03:39
right. The schools are no good.
They have to blow it up somehow.
2:03:42
I mean, I don't know how
2:03:43
John C Dvorak: they're gonna do
it. It's very difficult. Yeah,
2:03:46
well, you can't they can't fix
it. It's not fixable. It looks
2:03:49
like really
2:03:50
Adam Curry: doesn't look like
it's fixable. It really doesn't.
2:03:53
It's just it's a big problem.
And I'm sure that this is just a
2:03:58
microcosm of what's going on
everywhere. No,
2:04:01
John C Dvorak: it's probably
worse everywhere else. Yeah. I
2:04:04
would have to assume but people
2:04:06
Adam Curry: aren't. I mean,
there aren't even engaging in
2:04:08
discussion. Just like okay,
thanks. Next. All right. You got
2:04:11
something to say all right.
Yeah. Pastor Mike gets up read
2:04:15
some Bible stuff, you know,
beautiful. No, no. All right.
2:04:18
Thanks, Pastor Mike. All right,
let's get off the stage. Let's
2:04:22
get to the budget.
2:04:24
John C Dvorak: What? Get off
this stage.
2:04:27
Adam Curry: They didn't say that
but well, they were thinking it
2:04:30
I'm thinking of homeschooling
people homeschooling is the way
2:04:33
to go. You gotta have a horse.
Sometimes
2:04:35
John C Dvorak: something has to
be some something has to be read
2:04:37
and read rethought. Let's talk a
little bit about this. About
2:04:42
another thing is not covered
much by the mainstream, which is
2:04:45
Evie dissatisfaction.
2:04:47
Adam Curry: Oh, well,
2:04:48
John C Dvorak: I love evey
dissatisfaction. Oh, you're just
2:04:51
satisfied. You're even have an
Eevee but you said Ed,
2:04:55
Adam Curry: I got Evie
dissatisfaction. Yes. Okay.
2:04:59
Unknown: Let's play it. Any
survey says that 46% of American
2:05:02
Evie owners are likely to switch
back to gas cars. And to these
2:05:07
David Lam hears from some
Californians who either love
2:05:10
their EVs or have the best of
both worlds.
2:05:14
That's only 24 McKinsey and
Company mobility consumer global
2:05:17
survey shows 46% of Eevee owners
surveyed in the United States
2:05:22
said they will likely return to
driving gas powered vehicles.
2:05:26
Worldwide. That number is 29%
Among 30,000 respondents in 15
2:05:32
countries, but in California a
handful of Eevee owners entity
2:05:36
spoke to said they love their
vehicles
2:05:39
in California I think it makes
sense to use EB cough because
2:05:43
the gas prices are higher than
the other states and there are
2:05:47
some incentives to use it
because
2:05:50
I could never imagine paying for
gas again. I had to rent a car
2:05:53
for a week and I was like, oh my
god, this is just just being at
2:05:57
a gas station and spending like
$100 For
2:06:00
those wanting to return to
driving gas powered cars
2:06:03
Australia topped the list with
39% confirming so the lack of
2:06:09
public charging stations was the
main reason the other reasons
2:06:12
were the inability to charge at
home 24% And too much worry and
2:06:17
stress about charging 21% white
knuckle some in California say
2:06:21
there are plenty compared to
other states
2:06:24
Well we actually live in LA
round a lot faster you can use
2:06:31
all the commuter lanes and
there's a lot of places to
2:06:34
charge and gas just got so
expensive.
2:06:37
The only reason why I really
bought it is because my company
2:06:40
gives me free charging but I'm
okay with electric so far.
2:06:47
Adam Curry: Yeah, but wait until
they get the per mile tax. They
2:06:51
won't be so I like the
2:06:52
John C Dvorak: idea that I like
this electric car because my
2:06:54
company gives me free
electricity. So you drive into
2:06:58
work you work eight hours at the
company and this charge in your
2:07:01
car for free to get electric car
to you if I had that deal. Now,
2:07:06
here's the kicker in part two of
this clip alright.
2:07:09
Unknown: In some say they still
need gas cars such as for heavy
2:07:12
lifting and long distances. If
2:07:15
you've got a trailer with cattle
in it, you're gonna do that with
2:07:18
electric vehicle, pulling it up.
No Hills for sure. Some people
2:07:23
will have to have gas because
this kind of thing. I
2:07:27
like it a lot because my other
car is a VA and I use that for
2:07:31
weekend. And I still like that
sound of the VA car. According
2:07:37
to the Bloomberg Nef. The
upcoming presidential election
2:07:40
also caused the jitters in the
US Evie market slowing down Evie
2:07:45
adoption this year. In the
landmark 2021 infrastructure
2:07:48
investment and jobs act,
lawmakers approved $7.5 billion
2:07:53
to build 500,000 public charging
stations nationwide along
2:07:57
interstates today. It's only
eight public Evie charging
2:08:01
stations have been deployed in
the US now that we all know that
2:08:05
500,000
2:08:06
John C Dvorak: Does you remember
when he when Biden ran against
2:08:09
Trump the first time? Yeah, oh,
we're gonna Bill 500,000 It's
2:08:12
gonna be good union paying jobs.
And after four years, we've got
2:08:17
eight, eight. Well,
2:08:19
Adam Curry: yes, we know this.
Because this is in fact, I have.
2:08:23
How about this from 2019. From
the debates,
2:08:26
Unknown: my plan calls for
500,000 charging stations around
2:08:30
the country. So by 2030, we're
all electric vehicles. There you
2:08:35
go.
2:08:36
Adam Curry: That's from the 2019
debates for the 2020 election.
2:08:41
That was the plan. And we know
that Pete Buttigieg was called
2:08:45
out on it.
2:08:46
Unknown: Let me ask you about a
portion of this that I think
2:08:48
does fall under your portfolio.
And that's the charging
2:08:50
stations. You mentioned, the
Federal Highway Administration
2:08:53
says only seven or eight
charging stations have been
2:08:56
produced for the seven and a
half billion investment that
2:08:59
taxpayers made back in 2021. Why
isn't that happening more
2:09:03
quickly. So
2:09:04
the President's goal is to have
half a million chargers up by
2:09:06
the end of this decade. Now in
order to do a charger. It's more
2:09:09
than just plugging a small
device into the ground. There's
2:09:13
utility work. And this is also
really a new category of federal
2:09:17
investment. But we've been
working with each of the 50
2:09:20
states, every one of them is
getting formula dollars to do
2:09:22
this work, engaging them and the
first handful again by
2:09:25
2030 500,000 chargers, and the
very first handful of chargers
2:09:30
are now already being physically
built. Hey, here's
2:09:33
Adam Curry: the thought. Did the
money's gone? How about that?
2:09:37
The money was spent on something
else it was oh,
2:09:40
John C Dvorak: that's an
interesting idea. There's no
2:09:42
more money because I'll tell you
right now down the street for me
2:09:45
there are can Tesla chargers,
and there are other Tesla
2:09:52
chargers here and there around
the area. Yeah. And so this and
2:09:55
they can only the government can
only with their $7 billion can
2:09:59
only build it Eat. Yeah, it
hasn't been stolen. I think.
2:10:03
Adam Curry: I think the money's
gone. And Pete knows it. You
2:10:06
know, hey, it's the end of the
decade. Well, yeah,
2:10:09
John C Dvorak: 2030 Even if you
got reelected, you wouldn't be
2:10:12
in office in 2031 of
2:10:14
Adam Curry: the big things that
that EVs struggle with, of
2:10:17
course, is the promise of
improved battery technology,
2:10:20
which never really seems to get
much better. But there is a new
2:10:25
battery technology that has just
emerged. I'm very bullish on
2:10:30
this
2:10:31
Unknown: sound, it's hot enough
to heat your home. Remember how
2:10:34
you have to jump on the
scorching beach in the summer
2:10:36
sun can store energy like a
battery. This finished company
2:10:40
is now turning sun into thermal
batteries to heat homes and
2:10:43
could help help the industry
transition away from fossil
2:10:46
fuels. They heat up the air with
electrical resistors. The hot
2:10:50
air circulates through the
coasts and transferring heat,
2:10:53
the sand can hold its heat for
months and at really high
2:10:56
temperatures up to 600 degrees
Celsius. It can then be released
2:11:00
as hot water or steam as needed
is a greener cheaper alternative
2:11:04
to lithium batteries. But that's
because the sun is low grade
2:11:08
plentiful and not suitable for
construction. Globally sand
2:11:11
mining is notoriously damaging
to the environment. For now.
2:11:15
This innovation is limited to
regions with abundant clean
2:11:18
energy sources and sand
supplies.
2:11:21
Adam Curry: I'm thinking this is
I'm gonna give up on the
2:11:23
gasifier. I'm gonna give me a
big big vat of sand and make a
2:11:28
sand battery.
2:11:30
John C Dvorak: Oh please with
such bullcrap battery
2:11:37
Adam Curry: it's the best. I
mean so sand who knows sand can
2:11:41
keep a heat for for a month at
600 degrees centigrade.
2:11:47
John C Dvorak: It has to be well
insulated I'm sure it could. I
2:11:50
don't believe any of that
actually even insulators is
2:11:53
better than the assault battery
I love
2:11:55
Adam Curry: you imagined like
2:11:56
John C Dvorak: what do you got
in the backyard there bail on
2:11:58
that the big sand battery thing
is huge.
2:12:04
Adam Curry: Just have a trailer
behind your Tesla with a big,
2:12:06
big thing of sand. We'll see.
We'll see till Steven.
2:12:12
John C Dvorak: Whoever gets you
that clip should get an award.
2:12:15
Unknown: back right now. Extreme
hate baking. Millions of
2:12:19
Americans were baking heat
advisories in place across the
2:12:23
country. We just saw a weekend
of triple digit temperatures.
2:12:27
Oh, New York state's Department
of Health reporting hundreds of
2:12:30
Heatilator emergency emergencies
nearly five times what we see is
2:12:35
this time of year. Oh well. The
Northeast and mid Atlantic
2:12:37
states are getting a a very,
very short reprieve. The
2:12:41
Southeast and the southern
plains remain dangerously hot.
2:12:45
And BCS Erin McLaughlin has more
on this wild weather Aaron.
2:12:49
Hey there over the weekend here
in New York. It was absolutely
2:12:53
scorching. It's expected to be a
bit better today. But across the
2:12:57
country, it's still looking
pretty extreme.
2:12:59
Adam Curry: That's not what so
how's the weather? Hey, in your
2:13:02
your part of the country, John
across the country, let's talk
2:13:05
about across the country. How
are you doing over there? Well,
2:13:08
John C Dvorak: I can tell you
what my temperature is around
2:13:10
6768
2:13:14
Adam Curry: Are you bacon yet?
2:13:16
John C Dvorak: Yeah,
2:13:17
Adam Curry: you might bacon. You
must kill it. And yeah, we have
2:13:20
95 or I have to actually wear a
couple of layers. Right now we
2:13:24
have 95 which is okay.
2:13:26
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you're got
some tight temperatures. But for
2:13:28
Texas, I've been to Texas.
Normally it's in the hundreds by
2:13:31
now. Yeah, normally it's like
105 is dry, though. dry heat.
2:13:35
Adam Curry: Very dry. Very dry.
2:13:36
John C Dvorak: I've been to
Texas A bedroom like 108 And it
2:13:39
wasn't actually very tolerable.
Not like Phoenix.
2:13:42
Adam Curry: I go I take the dog
out wearing my hoodie. I'm not
2:13:46
kidding.
2:13:48
John C Dvorak: Well, it's an
insulator. Yeah, but insulation
2:13:50
goes both ways. It's
2:13:51
Adam Curry: also it's not cold.
Not hot. Yes. Yes. All right.
2:13:54
Let's go out. This is fine. This
is all lies all lies. And then
2:13:59
let's bring in the biggest liar
in the universe who is the
2:14:02
biggest liar when it comes to
climate change? And and by the
2:14:06
way, he's a dope. We haven't
heard from him for a while. I
2:14:10
don't know Bill Nye the Science
Guy for odd.
2:14:13
Unknown: For more on what's
driving the extreme weather and
2:14:16
weather the new normal is with
us now. I'm joined by science
2:14:21
educator, Bill Nye Good. Well,
now he's a science educator,
2:14:24
John.
2:14:26
Adam Curry: He used to be a
clown. Was he a rodeo clown or
2:14:29
something? Now he's building his
2:14:30
John C Dvorak: eyes. He actually
does have a degree in like
2:14:32
electrical engineering. Yes,
he's
2:14:34
Adam Curry: an educator.
2:14:35
Unknown: I'm joined by science
educator, Bill Nye. Good
2:14:39
morning, Bill. It's so great to
have you with us this morning.
2:14:41
There are very few people
watching us this morning who
2:14:44
aren't experiencing sweltering
heat
2:14:49
John C Dvorak: around the world
that summer
2:14:52
Unknown: flooding wildfires.
2:14:54
John C Dvorak: Yes it gets
summer's day officially has been
2:14:56
summer for a week. Some are
2:14:58
Adam Curry: all very few people
haven't been The witnessing the
