Adam Curry: My 1420 24 This year horn winning nation media
0:09
assassination episode 16
0:12
Unknown: is no agenda cutting
0:15
Adam Curry: to the fog of facts and broadcasting live from the
0:18
heart. Country here. Number six in the morning, everybody. I'm
0:23
Adam curry from
0:24
John C Dvorak: Northern Silicon Valley where we're all wondering
0:26
what we're going to talk about today. I'm John Cena moreq.
0:33
Adam Curry: Breaking breaking, nobody knows anything. Alert
0:37
alert. Well, that was certainly a rhetoric rhetoric. Reset. Man
0:47
Oh, man. Oh, man. Yeah, I had a very interesting weekend. Yeah,
0:55
sad Saturday. The fiber goes out for most of the day, and that
0:59
does slow things down. And that Friday, actually Friday, and
1:04
then Saturday. You remember we had that whole conversation
1:08
about ghosting by Drs. Yes. Well, both of them blew up.
1:13
John C Dvorak: The ghosted drive blew up to both of them. Ah, see
1:17
now I was laughing earlier, but now I don't feel good. No, you
1:20
shouldn't it that's terrible when they go straw. That's a
1:25
nightmare.
1:26
Adam Curry: You sound a little different. Why do you sound
1:28
different? This is
1:30
John C Dvorak: your new gear. You're all geared up?
1:32
Adam Curry: Is it? Is it a different microphone perhaps?
1:34
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I've got no changes.
1:36
Adam Curry: Second, let
1:37
Unknown: me the EQ. Yeah,
1:39
Adam Curry: yeah, must be the EQ I don't know what it is. Is very
1:42
weird. You sound you sound all bassy Okay,
1:46
John C Dvorak: do I sound like Count Basie?
1:49
Adam Curry: Yeah, let me turn this off. Maybe that'll help you
1:51
say,
1:52
John C Dvorak: I'd taken a big Basie Yeah, you
1:54
Adam Curry: sound very basic. I'm taking out your big bottom
1:56
anyway. No, yeah, yeah. You don't need it. You don't need
1:59
the big bottom. Well, of course with the with shows like like
2:07
today there's like I think we're probably both over clipped.
2:14
John C Dvorak: I don't think so. I don't think I had that many
2:17
clips. I think you probably do because you get your you have
2:19
your minions your slaves provide you with extra clips. And I
2:24
Adam Curry: think I actually do pretty well on my own. Why
2:31
didn't you I saw you had well, what tell me where you want to
2:34
start? Because obviously people are like, oh, yeah, I can't wait
2:37
for the show. So I have a lot of thoughts about about what
2:40
happened but maybe you have a background or just to get us
2:43
started for prosperity sake. You know, in the future when
2:46
someone's listening to the show and says what are they talking
2:48
about?
2:49
John C Dvorak: Okay, well let's start with immediate shooting
2:51
revenue. This is a guy called Stormin Norman who is a well
2:54
known kick talker, and I thought he wrapped up the media coverage
2:59
pretty well. Today,
3:01
Unknown: several of the liberal outlets made the choice to
3:03
display absolute degeneracy when covering Trump's attempted
3:06
assassination in Pennsylvania. Now, not all of the left leaning
3:09
outlets did this. ABC News CBS, NBC News and others reported
3:13
correctly along with center independent and right leaning
3:16
sources that Trump was shocked and Secret Service removed him
3:19
immediately. Yet CNN and others decided to go in a different
3:23
direction. CNN wrote Secret Service rushes Trump off stage
3:27
after he falls at rally DND star and other USA Today outlet said
3:32
Trump removed from stage by secret service after loud noises
3:36
startles former president. The Washington Post wrote Trump
3:39
taken away after loud noises at rally very specific that
3:44
politico decided to kick it up a notch by writing a photo of
3:47
bloody Trump fist bumping immediately spotlighted by his
3:50
allies. Newsweek wrote an incredible headline that has
3:55
since been deleted. Magga responds with outrage after
3:58
Donald Trump injured at Pennsylvania rally. Yes, that's
4:01
the story conservatives pounce on the former president's
4:05
attempted assassination. Now, not to be outdone, Colorado
4:08
Democrat and State Representative Steve wood
4:10
decided now was the right time to tweet. The last thing America
4:14
needed was Sympathy for the Devil. But here we are. It turns
4:19
out that spending eight years calling a man Hitler and the
4:22
devil has disgusting consequences. And as usual, the
4:26
legacy media are complicit
4:29
Adam Curry: Yeah, it's really interesting is everyone's kind
4:31
of trying to search who to blame what to blame. And as always,
4:36
there's this incessant who what why where why we got to find out
4:40
manifesto where Baba set up false flag it's like everybody's
4:46
just just buzz and just
4:49
John C Dvorak: buzzing around Mastadon that's what the whole
4:52
thing is set up. It's a phony. It's it's false flag.
4:55
Adam Curry: Yeah, there was definitely a lot of that, you
4:58
know I can tell you pretty, pretty confidently it was real.
5:05
How about this? You saw the picture of the bullet flying by,
5:09
John C Dvorak: you know, I, I, I saw that picture, but I blew it
5:13
up and I didn't see anything going anywhere.
5:15
Adam Curry: So, Mike, my question is, is that is that
5:18
really even possible to? I mean, I don't know. I know back in the
5:23
day if you wanted to if you wanted to catch a flying bullet,
5:26
you had to have a super fast shutter speed. I don't know how
5:29
that works with digital cameras today.
5:31
John C Dvorak: Know that now that you mentioned it? The No,
5:35
there's no way. I think that's just bullcrap.
5:38
Adam Curry: I have my questions about it for sure. So where do
5:43
you want to start to Who do you want to blame first? Who could
5:46
we can blame a lot of different people? Well,
5:48
Unknown: I
5:49
John C Dvorak: think we should start with let's start at the
5:51
top. Dan bond Geno, we'll have some very interesting show.
5:58
Tomorrow radio show.
6:00
Adam Curry: I have I have a Dan bond Gino clip, actually. Yeah.
6:03
Once
6:03
John C Dvorak: you start with that, then I want to play the
6:05
old clip from CBS that extols the virtue of the head of the
6:09
Secret Service. And I
6:10
Unknown: got to tell you the secret service to be very
6:12
careful. I can tell you an absolutely confirm right from
6:16
the horse's mouth from multiple people, not just one and I saw
6:20
Congressman wolves, Texas out before on x, there have been
6:23
repeated requests to increase the security footprint around
6:27
not just the residences of Donald Trump, but the body
6:30
itself, and they have been rebuffed. Like I said, I can
6:33
tell you actual quotes, the secret service directors
6:36
completely failed, and candidly should resign today, Kim Cheadle
6:40
has failed Donald Trump and honestly failed Joe Biden to
6:44
he's the president right now. Where's the DHS Secretary? I
6:48
mean, this is you're blaming it on manpower? Yes,
6:54
John C Dvorak: you could blame it on woman power because here's
6:56
the CBS report this is Oh yeah, this
6:59
Adam Curry: this and this just air didn't it didn't this just
7:01
air like a week ago or so? I
7:05
John C Dvorak: think it's older than that. This is the head of a
7:07
secret service CBS Okay,
7:10
Unknown: to expand hiring. They're aiming to have 30% Women
7:14
recruits by 2030 and even allowed YouTube influencer
7:18
Michelle Caray to train with agents. But I'm
7:21
very conscious as, as I sit in this chair now of making sure
7:26
that we need to attract diverse candidates and ensure that we
7:30
are developing and giving opportunities to everybody in
7:33
our workforce, and particularly women.
7:36
That workforce will be pivotal for the 2024 campaign season,
7:40
which for the first time includes a former president who
7:43
already has lifetime protection. Agents were there when Donald
7:48
Trump was arraigned in New York, we
7:50
were able to work out the details ahead of time of how
7:52
that particular day was going to go. But we will always ensure
7:56
the safety of all of our protectors that
7:58
we have the service has a zero fail missing a missing officers
8:03
are training to uphold pretending this field is the
8:06
most famous address in America. This
8:10
Adam Curry: this Cheeto lady. She was assigned to Vice
8:15
President Biden during the Obama administration. Which I didn't
8:21
know Well,
8:22
John C Dvorak: I think in between then, and now she was
8:25
the head of she was a basically a glorified security guard at
8:31
PepsiCo. Yes.
8:33
Adam Curry: Yes, she was she the only see I read that somewhere
8:39
too.
8:41
John C Dvorak: Well, she if you I don't know if you saw this
8:43
what you probably did, but people should at least take a
8:47
look when they when they shove Trump into the into the car at
8:50
the end of the shooting. And they whisked him off. There's
8:53
three women there
8:55
Adam Curry: and they are fumbling and bumbling to be quit
8:57
John C Dvorak: fumbling and bumbling. They're small to their
9:00
small women. You know, they talk about hiring more women. How
9:03
about hiring some 320 pound, six foot six black dudes who would
9:11
like to do that kind of work? Because they you know they were
9:14
on a football team. At one point. They're like knocking
9:16
heads. I didn't see one black face and the whole contingent of
9:20
security at that additional distri, diminutive women that
9:25
were scrambling around and getting bumped into and they
9:27
didn't couldn't hold their own ground. I saw that but I didn't
9:30
see any bruisers. So the rather have a be honest about her. I
9:34
have a big bruiser, black, white. I don't care what it is.
9:37
But there are black bodyguards that are the kind of guys who
9:41
you do trust and want the female, female. The females
9:46
anything about hiring more black dudes, the female,
9:49
Adam Curry: you got to hang up about the black dudes. The
9:51
female, the female agent who was part of the human shield with a
9:56
ponytail. Tina saw her at Marilla I go when I remember she
10:01
was there for some event. And then Trump walked in. And she
10:06
she said that she was, to quote her badass. She thought she
10:11
thought she was really impressive. So, and it's hard to
10:15
I mean, I saw it and another secret service agent bumbling to
10:18
get his weapon into his holster. I mean, you know, there's a lot
10:20
going on. But ultimately, they all jumped in the line of fire.
10:23
So there's that. We'll get to that in a minute. Here's the ABC
10:29
Stephanopoulos also interviewed Cheadle, and Astor the and this,
10:34
I think, was pretty recent as to the most important question,
10:37
what is the
10:37
Unknown: greatest threat now homegrown terrorist or
10:39
foreign terrorism? I think it's probably a little bit of both, I
10:42
think we have to make sure that we are assessing the risk for
10:45
both of those as well as any other type of threat that may
10:48
come at us whether it's a lone gunman, you know, an organized
10:51
attack or an organized group. So we tried to cover off on that,
10:54
and
10:54
how does the current divisions in the country that the extreme
10:58
political polarization, how does that feed in to the threat
11:02
environment?
11:02
I think it plays into it. I think that the environment that
11:05
we're dealing with today is certainly different than it was
11:07
four years ago. I'm sure we'll see an evolution in the next
11:10
four years as well. But it is definitely something that we
11:13
take into consideration.
11:14
Are there any specific and credible threats out there right
11:16
now.
11:16
So there's nothing specific and nothing credible out there right
11:19
now. But we are tracking all threat streams, and we certainly
11:22
work with our partners at the FBI and other intelligence
11:24
agencies that supply that information to us.
11:28
Adam Curry: No credible threats. Nothing to worry about.
11:31
Everything's good.
11:33
John C Dvorak: That was yeah, that was a useless interview, to
11:36
say the least.
11:37
Adam Curry: I was just to get the threat part out there. But
11:39
well, let's
11:40
John C Dvorak: go do the threat party here. Let's play this
11:42
super cut. I got a couple of them here. This is the kind of
11:47
the negative stuff that was going on. Let's start with the
11:51
old supercut of threats. This, most of these are from
11:54
2015 2016. But there there's end later and during the Trump
11:58
administration, but they still they're still valid.
12:02
Unknown: I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all
12:05
over the country, and maybe there will be
12:07
people need to start taking to the streets. This is a dictator.
12:11
You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as
12:13
long as there's unrest in our lives. enemies
12:15
of the state.
12:17
Show me where it says The
12:18
protests are supposed to be polite, and peaceful.
12:21
Do something about your dad's immigration practices you
12:24
feckless may go low.
12:26
We had to
12:27
resist the temptation to run up and wring her neck biggest
12:30
terror threat in this country is Whiteman. Most of them
12:34
radicalized right up to the right.
12:36
I thought he should have punched him in the face. Even if he lost
12:39
He insulted your wife. Yes, but are called Mexicans rapists and
12:42
murderers.
12:43
He's what do you think?
12:44
I think you should punch him in the face and
12:45
then gotten out of the race, you
12:46
would have been a hero.
12:47
I'd like to punch him in the face. I said we're in high
12:50
school, I'd take him behind the gym and beat the hell out and
12:52
punch
12:53
some people in the face.
12:55
When was the last time an actor assassinated a president,
12:58
they're
12:59
still going to have to go out
13:00
and put a bullet in Donald Trump.
13:01
And that's the fact is his character is stabbed to death.
13:05
Where is John
13:06
Wilkes Booth when you need it?
13:11
I have thought an awful
13:13
lot about blowing up the
13:15
White House. And
13:17
Missouri State Senator is under investigation by the Secret
13:20
Service after saying she hopes President Trump is assassinated.
13:24
I will go and take
13:26
Trump out tonight. And if you see anybody done that cabinet,
13:30
in a restaurant
13:34
or gasoline station?
13:47
Adam Curry: Wow, that's good. Where did you get that from?
13:49
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it was floating around was that I think
13:51
they had no it was the RNC who put that together, but it was.
13:55
Wow. Then we have from November 23 is November 23. Clip. This is
14:00
from late last year on the Pisarski show Dan Goleman saying
14:06
the following.
14:07
Unknown: But his rhetoric is really getting dangerous, more
14:11
and more dangerous. And we saw what happened on January 6, when
14:15
he uses inflammatory rhetoric now. And his recent true social
14:19
post is incredibly, incredibly scary for anyone that might be
14:26
trying to work in government. And it is just unquestionable at
14:32
this point that that man cannot see public office again, he is
14:37
not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy.
14:42
And he has to be he has to be eliminated.
14:46
Adam Curry: Man. You know, I think throughout the past couple
14:52
of years at least we've always said that you know, this is not
14:55
good, and I think we even got a little desensitized to it. It
14:59
just so you Stuart, you just so used to laughing it off? Yeah,
15:03
John C Dvorak: most of it, by the way stems from MSNBC. Rachel
15:07
Maddow. John Heilemann is the guy in that previous clip who
15:11
somebody put up as your buddy. You should put a bullet in
15:15
Trump's head that he did that on MSN. That's an MSNBC guy. Yeah.
15:19
I think the guys that that's directly responsible for the
15:22
shooting, if I was going to point the finger at anybody, I'd
15:25
say as Brian L. Roberts, the CEO of Comcast who put together this
15:32
guy is a bad actor. Yeah.
15:35
Adam Curry: There were a couple of prominent people. Who also
15:39
it's, I mean, we'll just we'll go through a couple of these
15:42
now, just so we can get the lay of the land, but one most
15:44
recently is Lea Delaria. You familiar with Lea? Delaria?
15:49
She's an actress, slash comedian. Huh, let me see
15:56
somewhere I have her have her bio, but she's been a you know,
16:00
a number of shows. And she did this. And I actually, I think I
16:05
decided not to clip it a couple like two weeks ago. It was like,
16:08
Yeah, whatever, more of that. But now it's more relevant than
16:11
ever. And she's just looking at the camera with a very, very
16:14
angry like, that's an accurate description.
16:19
Unknown: I'm done.
16:21
Fucking seriously. Done.
16:27
The Supreme Court
16:30
has pissed me off so much right now. Like, so much. Joe.
16:40
You're a reasonable man.
16:42
You don't want to do this. But here's the reality. This is a
16:46
fucking war. This is war now. And we are fighting for our
16:50
fucking country. And these assholes are going to take it
16:54
away.
16:55
They're going to take it away.
16:56
Fuck you clearance
16:57
Uncle Thomas.
16:59
Fuck you, Joe.
17:02
You now have the right
17:04
to take that bitch Trump out. Take
17:07
him out Joe. If he was Hitler, and this was 1940. You take him
17:12
out? Well, he is Hitler. And this is 1940. Take him
17:18
the fuck out. Blow him up.
17:24
blow him up. Or
17:25
they'll blow us up.
17:27
Adam Curry: Oh, just beautiful. This show nice. There was
17:33
there's a lot of those. But you know, what's kind of interesting
17:35
about this? Is that now comparing him to Trump to Hitler
17:41
and Mussolini, Mussolini, that can no longer be done. I mean,
17:46
that's going to get called out by everybody. Wouldn't you say?
17:50
John C Dvorak: I have to agree. So I think there's but here's
17:54
another one of these in the same series who as we get these other
17:56
way, this is Biden on Friday, seven seconds. Most
18:00
Unknown: importantly, I mean, it's in the bottom art. Trump is
18:04
a threat to this nation.
18:08
John C Dvorak: Yeah, but it from the bottom of my heart
18:10
Adam Curry: or my heart most most importantly, there was
18:13
another one there was, was it. Claire McCaskill, this, she used
18:18
to be a Senator, this is another MSNBC this this was this is very
18:22
typical, like a minute rant from, from someone on MSNBC. A
18:27
Unknown: lot of people would try to draw similarities between
18:30
Mussolini and Hitler and the use of the terminology like vermin.
18:35
And the drive that those men had towards autocracy and, and
18:41
dictatorship. The difference, though, I think, makes Donald
18:45
Trump even more dangerous. And that is he has no philosophy he
18:49
believes in, he is not trying to expand the boundaries of the
18:53
United States of America. He's not trying to overcome a
18:55
neighboring country like Putin is in Ukraine, he is not going
18:59
to some grandiose scheme of international dominance. All he
19:03
wants is to look in the mirror and see a guy who's president,
19:08
all he cares about is selfish self promotion. That's the only
19:13
philosophy he has, which makes it even more dangerous, because
19:17
he has actually said out loud that it would be okay to
19:20
terminate the constitution to keep him in power. He said this,
19:25
he actually said those words. And the irony is all of these
19:30
supposedly conservative folks that have populated the
19:34
Republican Party all stood around and with their thumb in
19:38
their mouth going well, yeah, okay. I guess so. It's It's
19:42
bizarre.
19:45
Adam Curry: You know, again, it's like I feel like in a way
19:48
everybody's kind of failed because it's like climate change
19:52
you know, it's like Oh, haha, climate change. Whatever Stupid
19:55
idiot don't believe in it. But all we the D sensitive D sense.
20:00
ties ation towards this type of rhetoric is of course, a problem
20:08
and I have another example now this this was a this kind of
20:13
sums up all the all the different lies that are just
20:18
taken for for truth by people because I mean it'll because
20:22
it's on on MSNBC or when you're some, I guess something that
20:29
people find is factual and trustworthy even though we know
20:34
none of it is and this what this is this it seems like she has
20:39
grayish silver hair I don't know I don't think she's probably in
20:42
her 40s she's a she's on Tik Tok. And I've seen her before
20:47
she's she's actually has reasonable audio and has pretty
20:51
good diction. So it was worth it's long, but we can stop at
20:54
anywhere. But it's it's interesting how she just brings
20:58
back all these things that are just factually not true. And
21:03
wraps them all up. Well, folks,
21:05
Unknown: I tried. I really did. I managed to squeeze out some
21:08
genuine empathy for Orange. And I thought I did a pretty good
21:11
job. And then I made the mistake of looking at Elon x and I
21:15
remembered why the right is not compatible with empathy. And
21:18
then I remembered Paul Pelosi getting hit over the head with a
21:21
hammer and mocked by Schlumberger and company. I
21:23
remembered the image of bound gagged and hogtied Joe Biden
21:27
that Trump had tweeted to the world. I remembered the
21:29
assassination threats against Michigan Governor Gretchen
21:32
Whitmer.
21:34
Adam Curry: I find this interesting because she is
21:35
making a summation of things that you know had been named and
21:39
have been you know that also everyone's desensitized to this,
21:43
you know that no one's a real winner in this, you know, the in
21:46
this back and forth of who was worse Trump or Biden, or who do
21:51
we need to get rid of,
21:52
Unknown: and how one in six election officials have
21:54
experienced threats because of their job, ranging from death
21:58
threats, that means officials young children to racist and
22:02
gendered harassment by the right, I remembered MTG calling
22:06
for the execution of Barack Obama.
22:08
And do you remember that?
22:10
John C Dvorak: I don't remember all this stuff that she's saying
22:12
are just blatant lies.
22:13
Adam Curry: I don't remember that either. Oh, ghosts
22:15
Unknown: are posting an animated video depicting him analyzing
22:18
AOC I remembered the far rights violence against minority
22:21
communities in Charleston, Pittsburgh, El Paso, buffalo,
22:24
Jacksonville, et cetera, et cetera.
22:28
Adam Curry: Okay, yeah. Oh, yes, the racist cetera.
22:31
Unknown: I remembered Trump calling for people at his
22:33
rallies to be harmed and how he wanted to shoot protesters in
22:37
the legs. And of course, I remembered January 6, and how
22:41
all our lawmakers lives were in grave danger. Capitol Police
22:45
were pummeled and traumatized for Trump's adrenaline rush of
22:48
vengeance for a country that kicked him to the curb. You
22:50
could see
22:51
Adam Curry: you can see where someone gets really wound up and
22:54
spun up if if if this if they're consuming all this and taking it
22:59
in as fact and as scary and so she's kind of okay with what
23:04
happened. I
23:05
Unknown: remembered eg women who faced violence at Trump's own
23:09
hands
23:10
Adam Curry: 1000s of women who faced violence at Trump's own
23:13
hands
23:14
Unknown: and then I caught wind of JD Vance. And all the want to
23:17
be up trumps as peanut gallery
23:19
John C Dvorak: stuff. You said this sounds so no, I know it's
23:25
in and out of phase. barely understand what she's saying. I
23:29
don't hear the enunciation. You are bragging
23:31
Adam Curry: was not bragging about it. But this is actually
23:33
better than most Tik Tok clips. But you're right. Anything else
23:36
you want to complain about? You know,
23:37
John C Dvorak: I just wanted to let you know. analysis was
23:40
lacking.
23:43
Adam Curry: Hey, don't worry. I'll do the same to you later,
23:45
Unknown: I can speak to President Trump's attempted
23:50
assassination. And Representative Mike Collins
23:53
going one step further claiming Biden set the orders. I
23:57
remembered lock her up and Knock the crap out of them and good
24:00
people on both sides. And when the looting starts, shooting
24:03
starts and stand back and standby. And I remember that
24:07
between 2013 and 2022 75% of murders committed by extremists
24:13
were caused by right wing extremists.
24:15
Adam Curry: Okay. Now we're getting a little off track but
24:19
only
24:20
Unknown: caused by left wing extremists Of course I don't
24:23
advocate celebrate or condone violence. That's what the other
24:26
side does. But I draw the line at feeling compassion for a man
24:29
who we all know would be making a joke about the shooter having
24:33
poor aim is this had happened to Joe Biden, um, which by
24:36
Adam Curry: the way, was quite quite a thing. I mean, right
24:38
away. And it was kind of on both sides like hey, you missed and
24:43
on the other Oh, I can't believe he missed I mean, this is a very
24:47
very sick and troublesome culture wherein not
24:50
Unknown: gonna go down the road with all the conspiracy
24:51
theorists that his security team is so incompetent and for the
24:56
life of me, I don't understand how a man who was just shut out
25:00
was able to stick his head above the Secret Service human shield
25:02
that was huddled around him right after the shooting. So we
25:05
can fist pump the air and encourage his voters to fight.
25:09
Adam Curry: So that's kind of the it was a setup by Trump. I
25:13
mean, oh, yeah set up,
25:15
John C Dvorak: you know, Democrats, these Democrats
25:18
should look in the mirror. They shot Reagan. They shot at him
25:23
almost hit Gerald Ford. These are all Republicans are getting
25:26
shot at Steve Scalise and 12 other Republicans there was an
25:30
assassination attempt on them and Scalise was almost killed
25:34
and now we have this I don't you know, this is just, you know,
25:37
these Gunny hating Democrats shooting at Republicans left and
25:41
right needs to do they need to look in the mirror is the folks
25:45
who
25:45
Unknown: are supposed to be experts at protecting the
25:47
President's noggin would have been a little uncomfortable with
25:50
giving the shooter a second chance of blowing it to
25:52
smithereens, folks, I think we all know what's in store for us.
25:56
We're going to the biggest misuse of martyrdom there ever
25:59
was. We're gonna see mediocre men marinating in victimhood,
26:03
tossing out thinly veiled calls for retribution and dog whistle
26:06
after dog whistle for mega minions to avenge the radical
26:09
left Joe Biden will be painted as a cutting force of evil at
26:13
least when he can remember where he is and when to take his
26:15
Alzheimers meds. It's gonna be torture, absolute frickin
26:19
torture. And instead of talking about the corroborated testimony
26:23
of young girls who were allegedly violated at the hands
26:26
of the depraved sociopath who happens to be the Republican
26:28
nominee, we're gonna hear about a cult leader victim, who
26:32
bravely gave the tip of his ear to say racism everywhere. Yeah,
26:36
well, all I can say is I'm gonna be sure to remember all the
26:39
folks who feared for their safety because of orangey and
26:42
Imperva, Licious Polonius, Schlumberger, MFIs, thin skinned
26:44
rhetoric over the years, and I'm gonna remind the bad actors that
26:48
malevolent men don't get to turn victimhood into victory.
26:51
Adam Curry: Mm hmm. So that's what we're dealing with. This is
26:57
cultural, this is spiritual. I really hope that people will
27:02
tone it down on all sides of this. And actually, if I were
27:06
consulting Trump, here's what I'd say I'd say, you know,
27:12
because of course the expectation is, you know, I'm a
27:14
martyr I don't even know if he's gonna go that far. I would say
27:20
first go to the family of those wounded and killed and then I
27:27
think he should go and he should visit the parents of the shooter
27:32
John C Dvorak: that's what he should do he may actually do
27:34
that God's litter without your advice. That's definitely Oh,
27:38
take care take care of the family that got the guy got
27:41
killed. Yeah, I mean, this will do so let's get into the I have
27:46
a series of clips from France 24 that I picked up this morning.
27:53
So they're kind of objective and kind of an essay kind of
27:59
objective and kind of new, including one clip which I
28:05
guarantee you didn't you never heard about. Okay. This is the
28:09
shot analysis series. And there is where you can start with shot
28:20
analysis. But first to play this French 24 Shoot rap Crux BS.
28:28
Adam Curry: Shoot got in rap got it.
28:30
Unknown: ABC is reporting up this rifle that's the shooter
28:33
had was legally purchased by the shooters father, no knowledge of
28:38
how he got into possession of the weapon or from his father,
28:41
it must be said, and the motive for the shooting, also not
28:45
uncovered by the FBI yet. They have discovered through state
28:48
records that the 20 year old was a registered Republican.
28:52
However, when he was 17, he made a $15 donation to a progressive
28:56
political action committee on the day that Joe Biden was
28:59
inaugurated into office. So his political leanings not really
29:02
understood there. And the FBI is now investigating as to how this
29:08
attempted assassination could have taken place and what the
29:11
motives were. Wow, they
29:12
Adam Curry: have more information than media here in
29:14
the States. I hadn't heard that. Yeah, I know. It's funny. It's
29:18
unbelievable. Notice, by the way, very, very little about the
29:24
shooter. And of course, he has, you know, three names always
29:27
good.
29:29
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the three name phenomenon is back, Thomas
29:31
Adam Curry: Matthew crooks being called Thomas and Matthew is
29:37
kind of interesting to me, but was two of the apostles, Thomas
29:42
and Matthew has probably got to wonder about his family. Well,
29:47
you
29:47
John C Dvorak: know, there you go. So let's go to shot
29:50
analysis, F 24.
29:53
Unknown: And as you asked, How could this have happened? I
29:55
mean, given the usually ironclad security around these sorts of
29:58
events, well, it's
29:59
the one who goes to these kinds of events somewhat regularly. It
30:02
is kind of fascinating to me that something like this kind of
30:06
happens. Now, it must be said, The shooting took place from
30:09
outside of the security cordon around the venue, so he hadn't
30:13
managed to get this weapon inside the venue. But I think
30:16
that also raises even more questions because that means
30:19
that there was an unsecured roof with a direct line of sight to
30:23
the stage where the former President was talking within 150
30:27
meters of that stage. Now, that is important, because for
30:32
reference 150 meters is the distance that an Army soldier
30:35
needs to be able to shoot a human sized target ads within
30:39
with an M 16 rifle in order to pass their training. The AR 15
30:44
Is the civilian version of that m 16. Rifle. So the fact that
30:48
this roof was within that distance and not secured by the
30:50
Secret Service, really is quite, it's quite mesmerizing, and has
30:55
led a lot of people to believe that there was a lapse in
30:58
security here. So there will be investigations. We know that the
31:02
House Oversight Committee has asked the head of the Secret
31:05
Service invited them to come and talk to to the panel to see how
31:10
this could have happened. Yeah, that'll
31:11
Adam Curry: be some nice talking. I will just be chatting
31:13
with you.
31:15
Unknown: That is the question on everybody's lips at the moments
31:17
How could something that seems so obvious have been have been,
31:21
have been overlooked. The counter snipers that were at the
31:24
rally spotters, this shooter and it did neutralize the threat
31:30
within three seconds of those shots being fired. So a quick
31:34
response by the counter snipers, but questions as to how he got
31:38
on that roof with the gun in the first place still abound.
31:41
Adam Curry: So just just from from what we know now, it seems
31:46
like that roof was an obvious an obvious problem. It seems like
31:50
there was understaffing there's all kinds of reporting that they
31:54
had asked that the Secret Service had asked for more team
31:57
members they were denied. We'll find out I guess in the in the
32:02
in the chat they're going to have in the house this morning.
32:07
And now this is from 4chan. So take it for what it is. There
32:11
was a statement posted for one of the one of the one of
32:17
Hawkeye, that's the the counter attack team. And then I'll read
32:22
it. For what it's worth. My name is Jonathan Willis. I am the
32:26
officer in the famous photo of the two snipers on the roof of
32:29
Trump's rally. I came here to inform the public that I had the
32:33
assassin in my sights for at least three minutes, but the
32:36
head of the Secret Service refused to give the order to
32:39
take out the perp 100% The top brass prevented me from killing
32:43
the assassin before he took the shots at President Trump. I
32:47
didn't follow the orders though. As soon as the shooter opened on
32:49
Trump I returned fire despite strict orders to not engage. I
32:53
had eyes on the shooter for three minutes watching him
32:55
fiddle with his rifle, adjust the scope, it was obvious he was
32:59
a shooter. Yet I was not allowed to engage after I killed the
33:02
shooter. I was arrested, questioned by the FBI and just
33:06
released an hour ago, I already lost my job for not following
33:09
orders. But I'm glad I took the shots anyway. I don't know if
33:13
it's true. But interesting. If if something like that turns out
33:18
John C Dvorak: well, this whole FBI operation in Pittsburgh
33:21
which is taking the lead on this is the same group that's that
33:24
had Hunter Biden's laptop the whole time. Oh, really. That's
33:29
my understanding. That's the group that's the group that
33:31
would handle Delaware. And that case so that so this group in
33:36
Pittsburgh, at least if you read enough of it about it, you know
33:39
this could be bullshit too. But if you read enough about it, it
33:42
seems as though this is a bunch of bad actors. Well,
33:45
Adam Curry: here's what we know about the FBI and the six week
33:48
cycle which we followed for well over a decade. The the typical
33:53
process and this I think a lot of the Department of Justice is
33:55
like this but the FBI specifically what they love to
33:59
do is find some weak brother online who's either either
34:03
talking Allah Akbar I'm gonna go shoot the shoot everything
34:07
fatwa. Or, you know, I'm going to shoot the president and
34:12
they'd like to hype him up and get them all jacked and then you
34:15
know, get them the phony detonator or something else and
34:19
then take them out or arrest him and as always a him and and then
34:23
claim victory and look we're so great our budgets are justified
34:27
so it's very possible and we've how many times we've read this
34:30
over and over again on the report Special Agent undercover
34:33
human you know, special, special agent who acted undercover and
34:39
had long hair months long discussion seems like pretty
34:42
easy to do with a with a 20 year old.
34:47
John C Dvorak: Yeah, especially Yes. Especially if you look at
34:49
the guy, although I do have the well I want to skip to that. But
34:53
let's go to the second part of this shot analysis on
34:59
Unknown: Washington of course. On and Fraser Dyson, thank you
35:01
so much for that update. Well, I'm also joined on set by our
35:04
international affairs editor caravan. Gorgeous, stunning.
35:06
Thank you demand. You are also our former Washington
35:10
correspondent. So you've seen the security measures that are
35:13
taken firsthand. Can you bounce off what Fraser said and give us
35:16
tell us a bit about your first hand experience? Yes,
35:19
well, as Fraser said, these are some very secure event, when you
35:23
go to one of these rallies where whether it's for a sitting
35:28
president or a presidential candidate, there are a big
35:31
layers of security. And to make things simple, there is
35:35
basically a three rings of security around someone like
35:39
Donald Trump, the initial, a very close range security
35:43
perimeter, which is secured by the Secret Service agents that
35:47
you see in that pictures, the men in the suits the women in
35:51
the suits, they're around him, then there's the second layer of
35:53
security, that's the perimeter with the barriers that you need
35:57
to be checked before you enter. And so when you're talking about
36:01
a rally like this, it's the people who are going to that
36:05
rally the supporters but also people like us, the media, we
36:09
get screened, we go through a metal detectors or bags are
36:12
open, they're sniffed by dogs. I mean, there is heavy, heavy
36:15
security. What we're talking about here where the shooter
36:18
was, is that third sort of perimeter of a security and if
36:22
you talk to Secret Service agents, law enforcement agents,
36:26
everyone will tell you that there is an advanced a team with
36:30
the campaign and the law enforcement that go to this area
36:34
and decide where that stage is going to be. And then law
36:38
enforcement Secret Service, need to secure everything around and
36:42
Fraser was talking about the fact that this roof had a direct
36:45
line of sight to that podium, and that is the question.
36:52
Adam Curry: Yeah. drones were the drones that everyone's
36:57
gotten to drones, everyone's got a drone, no drone,
37:00
John C Dvorak: no drone, no drone. Let's move right to clip
37:03
three. And then we get to the the weird clip.
37:06
Unknown: There's one question about how did someone gets to
37:10
that roof? How was that roof not secured? Even though there was a
37:13
direct line of sight? That could be a potentially a question for
37:18
Secret Service and for that advanced preparation. The other
37:22
question, which is several experts have been pointing to is
37:26
the potential lack of communication or wrong
37:29
communication between local law enforcement and the Secret
37:33
Service when they first spotted when people started spotting
37:36
someone and something that was wrong on that roof? Why was that
37:40
not communicated faster? And why did they not take immediate
37:44
action or more immediate action than was taken? So still a lot
37:48
of question as Fraser said about how we got there, and then how
37:53
that communication between the different law enforcement
37:56
agencies maybe broke down.
38:02
John C Dvorak: So that brings us of course, to the witnesses that
38:05
saw the guy up there and kept trying to draw attention to him.
38:09
There's two of those.
38:11
Adam Curry: I haven't I have the the BBC sequence which appeared
38:15
pretty quickly and first it appeared you know, somebody
38:18
videoed it off the BBC indirect sound. I'm going to actually
38:22
redeem myself for the sound earlier
38:24
John C Dvorak: Oh, it's good. You know, I have to copy I had I
38:27
got that early one that you that you must have fixed Well,
38:32
listen, but there was a later when they came out that was that
38:35
was clean. Yeah, this
38:36
Adam Curry: and this is the full it's an I have a cut up in a
38:40
couple of different clips. This is worth listening to. This is
38:43
the the BBC is on the ground. And they had they had a guy, it
38:48
was kind of it was kind of funny. You know, the BBC clearly
38:51
that, you know, some guy was like, hey, hey, you. You go
38:55
follow Trump. It's like, it's like the punishment bench over
38:58
at BBC. Oh, now I gotta go on. All right. I'll go follow the
39:02
campaign. I'll go, I'll go to the rallies. And this guy fell,
39:07
as we say with his nose in the butter.
39:08
Unknown: Donald Trump was at a US election rally in
39:11
Pennsylvania. When gunfire was heard from the crowd. And the
39:14
former president was bundled off the stage by security officials.
39:18
He raised a fist to his supporters before being taken
39:21
away in a car. What appeared to be blood was seen on Mr. Trump's
39:25
ear. He was criticizing President Biden when the
39:29
incident happened.
39:30
Adam Curry: Wow. He was talking about immigration had a big
39:34
chart up on the screen. But by the way, I found the BBC France
39:38
24. Their reporting was superior to our own reporting. It was
39:41
amazing. It was an amazing
39:43
Unknown: worst president in the history of our country took over
39:46
and look what happened to our country. Probably 20 million
39:50
people. And you know, that's a little bit old. That chart that
39:55
charts a couple of months old, and if you want to really see
39:58
something that said take Look what happened
40:06
Our correspondent Gary O'Donoghue was at the rally and
40:09
spoke to this eyewitness detail where
40:11
the shooting was coming from. Because he was coming from
40:15
outside.
40:15
I think it was like one of these buildings back here. Right.
40:19
So you think he was coming from higher up possibly behind the
40:21
fence? Okay, and what was the atmosphere like in the crowd at
40:25
that moment when it started? Panic that people started
40:29
running? Yeah. Right.
40:31
tripping over each other and yeah,
40:33
yeah.
40:34
And do you know, did the police move in pretty quickly?
40:37
From what I saw? Yeah, there were police officers in the
40:41
field like right beyond the fence and they took off
40:43
immediately. Now
40:45
Adam Curry: let's jack up the rhetoric a little bit here. BBC,
40:47
it was
40:48
Unknown: about 10 minutes into Donald Trump's speech and he was
40:51
talking about immigration and and then we heard we were
40:54
actually live on air at the time. And we we were talking to
40:58
our colleagues at the BBC World Service and we we heard the
41:00
shots. I heard maybe six or eight it sounds like from that
41:04
film you've just played there may have been more but certainly
41:07
six or eight in rapid succession. We we hit the dirt
41:11
we hit the deck because we had no idea where the where the
41:15
shooting was coming.
41:16
Adam Curry: Right we we is a big word. It was him. This is
41:20
pictures of him in the literally buried in the dirt.
41:23
Unknown: And now since then, people have been streaming out
41:25
of the event that the former president was taken away quickly
41:28
surrounded by the Secret Service and taken away immediately
41:32
reports of some blood on his ear possibly him holding his ear. We
41:35
don't we don't know the detail. When I when I've just spoken to
41:39
who said he was 50 feet from the former president. He said when
41:43
the shooting started, a speaker fell and it's not clear whether
41:47
that was on stage of fell into the crowd. He said he saw one
41:50
person being put in to an ambulance. He said there was
41:54
panic, people hit the dirt people started screaming.
41:58
Another eyewitness I said so I spoke to said there'd been a lot
42:02
of panic in the crowd. As you can imagine. I have to say the
42:04
emotions are extraordinary here. I'm going to, I'm going to say
42:08
something now, which will be shocking. Here we go. But I
42:10
think it's worth knowing. So please prepare yourself for
42:13
this. Just a moment ago, a guy walked past and said they fired
42:18
first. This is war.
42:21
Adam Curry: That's too bad. He wasn't recording that as it's
42:23
Oh, yeah. So here comes the redhead who everybody probably
42:27
Unknown: saw. We had a party here all day at the Broncos
42:30
farming greenhouse here. And we all decided, hey, you know, when
42:33
we hear Trump up there, we're gonna walk up through the field.
42:37
Stand by the trees up there under the shade. And watch the
42:40
rain. Listen to the rally. Right? We couldn't see him, but
42:43
we could hear him. So we walked up, and probably five to seven
42:49
minutes of Trump's speaking I'm estimating here. I've no idea.
42:52
You know, but we noticed the guy crawling arm, you know, bear
42:59
crawling up the roof of the building beside us. 5050 feet
43:04
away from us. So we're standing there, you know, we're pulling,
43:07
we're pulling that the guy crawling up the roof. And he had
43:10
a gun. Right? He had a rifle. Right? We could clearly see him
43:12
with a rifle. Absolutely. We're pointing at him. The police are
43:17
down there running around on the ground. We're like, Hey, man,
43:20
there's a guy on the roof with a rifle. And the police were like,
43:24
oh, what you know, like, like, they didn't know what was going
43:26
on. You know, we're like, hey, right here on the roof. We can
43:29
see from right here. We see him. You know, he's, he's growing.
43:33
And next thing you know, I'm like, I'm thinking to myself,
43:36
I'm like, Why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not
43:38
pulled him off the stage? I'm standing there pointing at him
43:42
for you know, two or three minutes, Secret Services looking
43:45
at us from the top of the barn. I'm pointing at that roof, just
43:49
standing there like this. And next thing, you know, five shots
43:53
ring out
43:53
for your your son. shots came from that guy on the right
43:57
100% 100%.
43:59
Adam Curry: So that I think is what most people saw. But the
44:01
interview definitely went longer.
44:03
Unknown: We had a party here all day. Sorry, this one.
44:05
It was about 10 minutes into Donald Trump's speech. And he
44:08
was talking about immigration and and then we heard we were
44:12
actually live on air at the time. And we we were talking to
44:15
our colleagues at the BBC World Service. And we we heard
44:19
Adam Curry: played this already that that work and we try this.
44:22
Unknown: And he he was up there for a couple of minutes. Up
44:25
there for a couple of minutes. Absolutely. At least three or
44:27
four minutes. And you were telling you at least in the
44:29
secrets. We were telling the police we were pointing at him
44:32
for the Secret Service who were looking at us from the top of
44:34
the barn. They were looking at us the whole time and we were
44:36
standing by that tree. Could they use binoculars? They see
44:40
probably not because the roof the way the slope when he was
44:43
behind where they could see. But But why is there not secret
44:47
service on all of these roofs here? I mean, this is not a big
44:50
place.
44:51
Did you see I mean obviously everyone when the shooting
44:54
started, everyone was very panicked. You're pretty sure
44:57
they shot the guy Absolutely. 100% Okay, yep. You saw that
45:00
happen? Yep. Yep. Okay. Yeah. And did you go up to him
45:04
afterwards? Or
45:06
they? Yeah, they crawled up on the roof. They had their guns
45:09
pointed at him. Make sure he was dead. He was dead. And that was
45:11
it. And she Oh,
45:13
John C Dvorak: that's been edited. Well, he
45:15
Adam Curry: has here's the piece that was cut out. Did
45:17
Unknown: you see? I mean, obviously, everyone when the
45:19
shooting started, everyone was very panicked. Did you see what
45:22
happened to him at all?
45:24
Oh, yeah. They blew his head off. Okay, sorry. Secret
45:27
Service, please head on.
45:27
Okay, just be careful, because we don't quite know who's
45:30
watching but you're pretty sure they shot the
45:32
Adam Curry: guy was watching his people who are interested in
45:34
what really happened. I'm sorry. Absolutely. 100%. Okay.
45:38
John C Dvorak: Video. Leave the guys comment in there. There was
45:41
a second witness. Well,
45:43
Adam Curry: I want to finish this. Oh, there's more. Yeah.
45:45
Unknown: Yep. Yep. Okay.
45:47
Yeah. And you see them go to him afterwards. Or they
45:51
Yeah, they crawled up on the roof. They had their guns
45:54
pointed at him. Make sure he was dead. He was dead. And that was
45:56
it. It was over.
45:58
It's incredibly shot. The
45:59
guy was on the roof right there. You can see the white roof.
46:03
Right there. You can look at him, could you I know. Other
46:06
than he was in muted colors, tan tight clothing. We saw the rifle
46:12
flinging around as he was trying to crow. I mean, we saw the
46:15
rifle 100%
46:17
I mean, do you know about guns? Do you know what kind of weapon
46:19
it was? Oh,
46:19
absolutely know about guns for sure. Yeah, I mean, there is a
46:22
rifle of some sort. I wouldn't know. You know, I wasn't close
46:24
enough to read the label on it. But it was it was a rifle of
46:28
some sort. Yeah, absolutely. So
46:32
what do you how do you process what you've just seen?
46:36
I don't know what to say man. I'll tell you is you know if I
46:42
if I walked up close to there with anything that can seek your
46:46
service considered a problem? I wouldn't be standing here
46:49
talking to you right now. But I don't know why a guy who were
46:52
standing there pointing now to police and Secret Service is
46:56
crawling up the roof. All right.
47:00
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that was could have been tighter by the
47:02
by the correspondent who they then they go back and they cut
47:06
out one thing and the whole thing is loose as a goose it's
47:09
very poorly done by the BBC.
47:12
Adam Curry: Surprise, surprise BBC.
47:14
John C Dvorak: So this is another witness which showed up
47:19
on this one showed up on CBS. And this is the is shooting
47:25
second witness to see shooter. poorly worded clip number name.
47:31
I don't know if you knew her this probably not. It sure it
47:35
was showed up on the live feed and then disappeared.
47:38
Unknown: I am told that our CBS colleague from KD K Jennifer
47:42
Barrasso is on the line right now. She is outside the scene of
47:47
the rally. Jennifer Hi there.
47:49
So I have a witness right now. He had just showed up at the
47:53
Trump rally just a short time before it started. And he
47:56
actually tells me that he saw the shooter on the building and
48:00
his name is Benjamin Macer. Thank you so much for staying
48:03
around. Just take me back. What were you doing before the
48:06
shooting happened? And then what did you see in here?
48:09
I was just hanging and standing there like everybody else
48:12
waiting for Trump. And we as Trump started, we I noticed two
48:18
officers that were looking for something or somebody it was. So
48:22
I was looking around myself and seeing a guy on top of one of
48:26
the buildings go in between one building to the next and went
48:32
and told the officer that he was up there. When I went back to my
48:37
spot, I heard that people could still see the the person from
48:41
where they were standing. So I checked that out. And I went
48:45
went back to tell the officer that if he came over there, he
48:48
could see them. And when I turned my backs when the shots
48:52
when the shots started, and then it was that took me a second or
48:56
two to figure out exactly what it was. And then it was just
49:00
getting out of there and helping helping some some other person
49:05
now with her child, and we got out and that was that was the
49:09
end of that. I went left. That was all
49:17
John C Dvorak: so this wasn't like a big secret. What do you
49:21
mean? Well, I mean, people saw this guy. Oh, yeah. You have to
49:26
assume there's others and nobody did anything. And then of
49:28
course, is that sketchy report from Fortune, which I didn't
49:31
know about which is sounds sounds credible, unfortunately.
49:36
Yeah.
49:38
Adam Curry: I mean, we're so early. I mean, it didn't usually
49:40
these things happen on a show day so we can do nothing. And
49:43
then we have a couple of days to meet me about that. And, and
49:46
that was like we really needed an extra day because we don't
49:49
know anything about about the shooter. You know, just, you
49:54
know, there's a couple of like graduation videos, some weird
49:58
video in your car. He's
49:59
John C Dvorak: gonna go commercial commercial. Yeah.
50:01
Which
50:02
Adam Curry: immediately like, oh, was he an actor? You know,
50:05
there's there's so much unknown, but I think as long as we can
50:09
all first of all, sadly, this didn't end well, for some people
50:13
in the crowd. You know that that's the thing. You know,
50:17
that's the thing we've got to remember here. But we will. But
50:22
right now, this is this is a very very crapped time for
50:26
America, I don't like it.
50:29
John C Dvorak: Well, this woman who is running the Secret
50:31
Service should have resigned immediately after that death of
50:34
the bystander, and then the wounding of the President, I
50:38
don't understand why she just immediately wishes what Bungie
50:42
knows and others have been asking for. He's not the only
50:44
one, that this is one of those things where you have to, you're
50:48
responsible, you're the head of the operation. I put in place,
50:52
of course, as a dei hired by my Orca, but you get in there at
50:56
you have you just have to quit. I mean, it's just what you do.
50:59
Adam Curry: I agree. I agree. She should
51:01
John C Dvorak: have resigned immediately. And she's not going
51:04
to resign, I can assure you, and she's going to get into an
51:07
argument with Congress, and she's going to stick around is
51:10
going to be one of those situations where you have
51:13
incompetent people running things, even though they She
51:15
sounds, she sounds like you know, not unusual for a
51:20
bureaucrat, but she should resign. And then somebody has to
51:25
investigate what, what was wrong. I didn't because I you
51:29
know, they, they showed this, suppose he's brought this guy
51:32
down within three seconds of him taking shots, which adds some
51:35
credibility to that fortune note. Yeah.
51:38
Adam Curry: Well, I mean, we saw the video we see the guy you see
51:41
him walking. Yeah. But when he says when he says the head of
51:44
the Secret Service wouldn't let me take the shot. Who is that?
51:47
Is that someone who's in charge on the scene? Or is he going
51:51
back to HQ? Now, there's
51:54
John C Dvorak: got to be somebody on the scene. There's
51:55
got to be one supervisor that would say yes or no, you
52:00
wouldn't call it a Washington DC for that situation that's been
52:03
taped to ever? Who's going to answer to get an answering
52:07
machine? Jill, Jill, Jill and Joe. So it would be so there is
52:13
something fishy about the whole thing. And I would fall back on?
52:19
Look, we're dealing with the Biden crime family, which is
52:25
what it's always been called and an assassination attempt on
52:28
Trump after trying to throw him in jail through four different
52:32
jurisdictions and 90 indictments. It wouldn't
52:37
surprise me if the if act. I know it sounds like completely
52:42
insane that anyone would be this way. But I'm throwing the whole
52:45
thing at the White House.
52:47
Adam Curry: Oh, I put it I put it all on Biden. Absolutely.
52:51
Absolutely. And, you know, the coincidence of this happening.
52:59
Right after two mega gaffes in the Big Boy press conference, by
53:04
Biden is not lost on me. Let's just revisit quickly.
53:09
Unknown: And now I want to hand it over to the President of
53:11
Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. Ladies
53:16
and gentlemen, President Putin. You gonna beat President?
53:22
President Solinsky. I'm so focused on being Putin, we got
53:26
to worry about it. Anyway. Mr. President, I'm better. You are a
53:30
hell of a lot better.
53:32
Adam Curry: So that was one. And then of course, the other big
53:35
one.
53:35
Unknown: It is first press conference of the year President
53:38
Joe Biden fielded nearly an hour of questions highlighting his
53:41
policies and political future. Best
53:43
way to assure them is where I assure myself and that is, am I
53:47
getting the job done?
53:48
The President first pressed on whether vice president Kamala
53:51
Harris could be for her President Trump in November.
53:54
Look, I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice
53:58
president. So I think she's not qualified to be president. So
54:02
let's start there. Number one,
54:05
Trump weighed in live with a post on social media reading,
54:08
quote, great job, Joe Biden ignored the actual question
54:11
about how the VP would fare against Trump only stressing
54:14
that she's qualified to be president and offering praise.
54:17
She was
54:18
a first rate person. And in the Senate, she was really good. I
54:22
wouldn't have picked her unless I thought she was qualified to
54:24
be president.
54:25
Adam Curry: Now that was and that I mean, that was definitely
54:28
news. I mean, everybody all the news channels like oh, no, oh,
54:32
he couldn't do it. He could, you know, I mean, I have a ton of
54:35
clips. We don't have to go there right now.
54:38
John C Dvorak: The whole thing was a disaster. But to have
54:41
Adam Curry: this happen right after those mega gaffes and what
54:44
was supposed to be as we heard the big boy the big boy
54:48
conference is not lost on me. So the there's just no
54:55
coincidences. I just don't believe in Him. We have a second
54:59
clip of that second shooting witness you want to play that 22
55:02
seconds.
55:03
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Then I want to get back to the French 24,
55:07
which has been the new information which that you're
55:09
never going to hear in the mainstream media. Yeah, play the
55:11
second half. It's not much to it.
55:13
Unknown: So this man was able to basically climb to the next
55:18
building. And you told law enforcement. Hey, there's a guy
55:23
over there.
55:24
tracked? I don't know how he got up there. I don't know. But I
55:28
definitely saw him up there. And and that was, that was all I
55:34
know. All right.
55:37
John C Dvorak: So the final clip on the French 24 series. And
55:42
this you will not use, for good reason, probably. This will
55:47
never be explored on the mainstream because it was, I was
55:51
taken aback by it. But it doesn't surprise me this is a
55:54
shot analysis with an E at the end of shot. This is the last
56:01
clip. And
56:02
Unknown: there were others like Tim Scott, who also said that
56:04
the inflammatory rhetoric by Democrats and their allies in
56:08
the media recklessly stoked and fears and resulted in what
56:12
happened. And I mentioned this part about the media. Because at
56:16
that rally, after Donald Trump was taken off of that stage, the
56:19
crowd part of the crowd immediately turned to the press
56:22
rise to the media and started accusing the media saying it's
56:26
your fault. And some even tried to break through the press
56:30
risers in which pushback by security. So the likelihood that
56:34
this could get out of hand in the coming months is possible.
56:38
The question is, where is this going? Are people going to sort
56:41
of try to tamp things down? Or are we going to see more
56:45
possible acts of violence down the road towards November? Well,
56:49
Adam Curry: I interesting you bring that up, because Sky News
56:51
in Australia had a similar take,
56:53
Unknown: speaking of Trump's reaction in the moments after he
56:57
was shot, and as you said, you know, he got to his feet. He he
57:00
raised his fist he said Fight, fight fight. I don't know if you
57:03
saw but CNN actually criticized his reaction, saying that was
57:07
entirely the wrong thing to do. And all it did was to incite his
57:12
supporters, he should instead have tried to calm things down.
57:16
I mean, how do you respond to CNN with those sorts of
57:19
comments, even in the moments after Trump was shot, I gotta
57:23
say, President company excluded James Danika.
57:29
We don't hate the media enough, certainly in America, however
57:32
much we hate the media, we do not hate them enough.
57:36
There has been so much of that already. Both sides of this, you
57:41
know, the reaction from mainstream media, from CNN, from
57:44
MSNBC, the headlines, which are trying to both sides and
57:50
attempted assassination of Donald Trump, because they
57:54
cannot bear to allow their audiences to know that he has
57:58
become a murderer. Thanks to them.
58:02
It's really, really horrifying. And I would expect for more and
58:04
more of this to come out there were so many headlines that
58:06
refuse to even call it an assassination attempt. You know,
58:09
as you guys were pointing out 10 minutes ago, you know, mostly
58:12
peaceful assassination attempts, there's going to be a lot more
58:16
of this, the media always in moments like this ends up with
58:18
an egg on its face because it is so deeply partisan in America at
58:22
this point in favor of the Democrats.
58:26
Adam Curry: A fine example of that is CBS anchor, Margaret
58:31
Brennan's initial response to the shooting and
58:34
Unknown: he closes with God bless America. And we saw him
58:37
raise his hand in the air defiantly blood on his face as
58:40
he left the stage.
58:41
She is recovering from these injuries. Now, this was a
58:44
traumatic event, no doubt for him. But I did notice there was
58:47
no call for lowering the temperature, condemning all
58:51
political violence and really trying to signal to his
58:56
supporters as well. Not to retaliate or to have any kind of
59:01
escalation here. I just am looking at these little belief
59:04
in his inner circle that he's under siege. I understand his
59:08
rally. So there's a lot of every
59:11
exactly digested like you're saying, I mean, every single
59:13
text message, literally every single one from Trump sources is
59:18
outraged and shocked. And so that is certainly the mood
59:22
inside the highest ranks of the Republican Party. Speaking to
59:24
CBS News tonight.
59:26
Adam Curry: I'm just thinking. I mean, pray for President Biden
59:31
because what an what a great opportunity for for this to be
59:35
cleared up to get him out. Oh, deranged Trump supporter
59:40
retaliation. Sorry, Joe. I wouldn't put it past I wouldn't
59:46
put it past the elites of the world.
59:51
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, it's possible but I just don't see it
59:54
happening because it's always the Republicans who are the
59:56
targets and they're the ones who take You know, I haven't bullet
1:00:01
same datum Democrats it doesn't happen.
1:00:05
Adam Curry: Let's hope it doesn't happen to anybody. I
1:00:07
want to play a couple clips from Jake Tapper because he's, for
1:00:10
some reason he's moved to the forefront ever since he started
1:00:14
doing the deconstruction of Biden.
1:00:17
John C Dvorak: He's moved to the forefront because he's on the
1:00:19
Council of Foreign Relations.
1:00:22
Adam Curry: There you go. Let's listen to him on his State of
1:00:24
the Union more
1:00:25
Unknown: do you want to know about the shooter? Very, there's
1:00:27
very little we know about him right now. He's 20. He's from
1:00:31
Western Pennsylvania. He's registered Republican. He gave
1:00:34
money a small amount.
1:00:36
Adam Curry: No, no, no, hold on a second. Listen to that. Listen
1:00:38
to the this. This is the narrative now, which I find I
1:00:42
find absolutely fascinating. I'm having all kinds of issues here
1:00:45
with my my system. Second, why can I not do this? Anyway,
1:00:53
democratic
1:00:55
Unknown: get out the vote group, a democratic aligned group of
1:00:57
some sort. What more as an intelligence professional Do you
1:01:01
want to know about him? So
1:01:04
Adam Curry: I'm moving into the full of the age of political
1:01:07
violence.
1:01:08
Unknown: Last night, as you all know, horrifically a shooter
1:01:11
opened fire and tried to assassinate former President
1:01:13
Donald Trump at a campaign rally. This was the closest call
1:01:17
in terms of a major assassination attempt on a US
1:01:20
leader on that level in more than 40 years since Ronald
1:01:23
Reagan in 1981. We do not yet know the specific motivations
1:01:28
behind this would be assassin sick and twisted, though they
1:01:32
assuredly are but but sadly, this is not the first time we've
1:01:36
seen this kind of repugnant and unAmerican violence. In 2011.
1:01:40
Then Democratic Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was shot in the
1:01:43
head and nearly killed by a gunman in a constituent event
1:01:46
other innocent people were killed. A 2017 shooting at a
1:01:50
Republicans congressional baseball practice. Left
1:01:53
Congressman Steve Scalise in critical condition. Then, of
1:01:56
course, there was the unite the right white supremacist rally in
1:01:59
Charlottesville that year. In 2020. Violence exploded in
1:02:02
protests after George George Floyd's horrific murder. Then on
1:02:07
January 6 2021, attack on the US Capitol and that aftermath which
1:02:11
left multiple Trump supporters and Capitol police officers
1:02:14
dead, an individual who left pipe bombs outside the
1:02:17
Republican National Committee and the Democratic National
1:02:20
Committee buildings. That individual still not been
1:02:22
identified. In 2022 former Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi
1:02:26
his husband Paul was attacked with a hammer in his own home by
1:02:31
an intruder searching for the former speaker. Another man with
1:02:34
a gun a knife and a zip ties was arrested outside the home of
1:02:38
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to say nothing of
1:02:41
lesser return Cesar sayoc, who sent pipe bombs to Democrats and
1:02:45
members of the news media, including CNN in 2018.
1:02:48
Adam Curry: And then Jake turns on the waterworks. Last year,
1:02:52
the
1:02:52
Unknown: US Department of Homeland Security warned of a
1:02:54
high threat of violence from radicalized individuals, Lone
1:02:57
offenders or small group attacks that occur with little warning
1:03:01
and said that the 2024 election cycle will be quote, a key event
1:03:05
for possible violence on quote, the assessment warned of
1:03:08
violence against quote government officials, voters and
1:03:12
elections related personnel and infrastructure including polling
1:03:15
places, ballot Drop Box locations, voter registration
1:03:18
sites, campaign events, political party offices and vote
1:03:21
counting sites. Unquote. There is something troubling the
1:03:27
American soul right now.
1:03:30
Adam Curry: It's you Tapper. Too many
1:03:32
Unknown: Americans see those with whom they disagree, as the
1:03:36
enemy, to be shunned to be banned to be ostracized, to be
1:03:40
threatened with violence, or even to have that violence
1:03:43
carried out. As with so many prior acts of violence, we right
1:03:49
now see too many awful responses out there to this hideous attack
1:03:54
on former President Trump responses that are part of this
1:03:56
trend that includes those who without evidence, are blaming
1:04:01
this act of violence on those with whom they have
1:04:04
disagreements. We are praying for former President Trump's
1:04:07
recovery today and praying for his family and for those victims
1:04:11
of the attack. And we urge in the strongest possible terms we
1:04:16
this election and all our political differences must be
1:04:19
determined by ballots and votes, not by bullets. And that this
1:04:24
rhetoric of dehumanization, stop political violence has no place
1:04:30
in America. I wish that were true. It's
1:04:34
Adam Curry: our history. It's almost our culture. Are you
1:04:36
kidding me? Wait,
1:04:38
John C Dvorak: the way he put that it sounds like he wants to
1:04:41
play that last little line again and deconstruct it. Okay.
1:04:49
Unknown: We are praying for former President Trump's
1:04:51
recovery today and praying for his family and for those victims
1:04:54
of the attack. And we urge in the strongest possible terms
1:04:59
that this election In all our political differences must be
1:05:02
determined by ballots and votes, not by bullets. And that this
1:05:07
rhetoric of dehumanization, stop political violence has no place
1:05:13
in America. I wish that that were true. Now he's
1:05:17
Adam Curry: blaming Trump. He's blaming Trump. Oh, this
1:05:21
demonization you're doing about the people that's driving people
1:05:24
to shoot at you. That's what I hear
1:05:33
Did you hear something different?
1:05:37
John C Dvorak: political violence has no place in
1:05:39
America. I wish that it was true. Yeah. Because what he
1:05:51
wishes it was true that political violence had a place
1:05:53
in America is the way I heard
1:06:00
Adam Curry: I think it'd be great if we could all come
1:06:02
together and hate the media. where's the where's the pulling
1:06:06
the plug on the on the transmitters? Don't transmitters
1:06:09
anymore? Cutting the fiber? Which transmitters? Yeah, the
1:06:15
need to have we need to have that pull the plug on
1:06:18
John C Dvorak: those people's Joy read. Another finds mad owl?
1:06:24
The head of Comcast CEO, Comcast, Roberts. These are bad
1:06:31
people.
1:06:32
Adam Curry: There was a very interesting and that's
1:06:35
John C Dvorak: you know that what they are is they're they're
1:06:37
provoca tours.
1:06:40
Adam Curry: Yes. Well, yes. It's not news. It's yeah.
1:06:43
provocateurs is a good one. But we're all we're all in on it.
1:06:47
We're all sharing the videos, we're all meaning about it.
1:06:51
We're all this, you know, we're seeing the result of our own
1:06:55
actions. And, you know, throw some SSRIs in there, I'd love to
1:07:00
have an analysis about that. That guy looks like he might
1:07:03
have been on something, you know what I mean?
1:07:06
John C Dvorak: That's the last thing they're ever going to
1:07:08
discuss as long as they allow advertising, the pharmaceutical
1:07:12
companies to do advertising. So this is one of the main things
1:07:16
that has to go.
1:07:18
Adam Curry: So it was a video that was sent to me several
1:07:20
times by multiple people. It's posted all over Twitter. April
1:07:25
8, I guess about three months ago. The Prophet Brandon Briggs
1:07:32
made a bold statement while he was being interviewed. He has
1:07:36
his own YouTube channel. And he's clearly a follower of
1:07:40
Jesus. But what he said here was quite interesting. And I'm
1:07:44
pretty sure this was indeed three months ago, because you
1:07:47
know, this could have been just said it was three months ago.
1:07:49
But from all the checking I did, he said this in April, because
1:07:53
the Lord told me, he said, I am not done with America. He said,
1:07:58
there's going to be a new wave of patriotism coming out. And
1:08:02
that's whenever I saw Trump, and I saw that I saw a red wave
1:08:06
coming out of Michigan. And then I saw Oklahoma and there was
1:08:10
embers of people. And they were all on these these. They had
1:08:14
torches all throughout Oklahoma, and they were raising up these
1:08:17
torches that look like fire. And they were bringing forth a new
1:08:21
patriotism upon the nation. And it was coming, it was being
1:08:24
birthed. And it just kept spreading like fire all
1:08:27
throughout America all throughout, and I saw Trump
1:08:29
rising up. And then I saw an attempt on his life, that this
1:08:34
bullet flew by his ear, and it came so close to his head that
1:08:39
he busted his drum eardrum, and I saw he was he fell to his
1:08:44
knees during this timeframe. And he started worshiping the Lord.
1:08:47
He got radically born again during this timeframe. I'm
1:08:51
talking when people say he's saved now but he becomes really
1:08:55
on fire for Jesus for what I saw coming. And then I saw people
1:09:00
interceding when he I see him I saw him winning the presidency
1:09:05
through great the Lord show me would go clear into the summer
1:09:09
great persecution would come on him through the judges, and
1:09:13
through the through the law and all these people trying to sue
1:09:16
him and all this stuff, but there would be a stop to it. And
1:09:19
there things would start to break free come toward the fall
1:09:22
and then I saw him winning the election through the Patriots
1:09:27
coming out and voting and then and then and then there will be
1:09:29
a great economy crash that's all they had a great economy plan a
1:09:34
crash there you go.
1:09:38
John C Dvorak: The prophets Well, you know, guys having
1:09:40
religious visions, you know, which is something of a
1:09:43
violation of certain precepts. And then going on and on like
1:09:47
this is just another whack jobs the way I see it. I
1:09:52
Adam Curry: know the way you see it.
1:09:55
John C Dvorak: I just thought it was interesting to plenty of
1:09:57
those guys
1:09:58
Adam Curry: out there the detail of his ear error was quite
1:10:00
interesting. Well,
1:10:02
John C Dvorak: I didn't blow his eardrum out. So he got that
1:10:04
wrong. Yeah.
1:10:07
Adam Curry: But did you see Did you see that? It looked like
1:10:10
Trump had a hole in his jacket.
1:10:14
John C Dvorak: Somebody pointed that out. Yeah. I saw it. I saw
1:10:17
the pictures. But
1:10:21
Adam Curry: I was reading about your class up. I
1:10:23
John C Dvorak: mean, yeah, he might be wearing a bulletproof
1:10:25
vest.
1:10:27
Adam Curry: Yeah, but if he got hit you would that that would
1:10:30
set you back. I don't think he got hit but
1:10:32
John C Dvorak: generally, but not if his small caliber. I
1:10:35
don't know.
1:10:36
Adam Curry: But I was reading about George Washington, who was
1:10:40
fighting the Indians. And the story goes General George
1:10:46
Washington, that he was hit four times by the Indians firing
1:10:50
rifles at them and they just went through his coat didn't hit
1:10:54
him to horses got taken out underneath him. And and even to
1:11:00
Indian, you know, like chiefs at all. We can't hit this guy. He's
1:11:04
got the great spirit watching over him. just reminded me of it
1:11:09
like wow, what a what an incredible, incredible moment
1:11:13
that he just turns his head bullet grazes his ear if
1:11:17
something went through his his coat like unbelievable.
1:11:22
John C Dvorak: And I don't think I think the whole I don't think
1:11:25
that's now there would have been reported. But
1:11:27
Adam Curry: oh, please nothing's reported we do breaking we know
1:11:31
nothing we saw here. It was really hard. We still we still
1:11:34
know nothing. We know absolutely nothing. It's a sad state and we
1:11:42
don't know anything about this about the shooter. All we have
1:11:45
is
1:11:46
John C Dvorak: it have this we have this.
1:11:48
Adam Curry: I have the nine second clip of him in the car. I
1:11:51
Unknown: yeah, here.
1:11:52
My name is Thomas Matthew crooks.
1:11:55
Adam Curry: I hate Republicans. I hate Trump. And guess what?
1:11:59
You got the wrong guy. Now that is puzzling. You got the wrong
1:12:04
guy. What does it mean? What does it mean?
1:12:07
John C Dvorak: Well, he looks a lot more like the guy than the
1:12:09
dead guy does. I mean, Thomas Matthew crook, if you see
1:12:15
pictures of him when he was in high school, they have pictures
1:12:18
floating around if he's a goofy looking guy looks like an INCEL.
1:12:21
That's definitely the case. And even when he's in that TV
1:12:25
commercial, you can see what a goofy looking guy he is. And
1:12:28
then they have the dead guy in the picture. The dead guy
1:12:30
doesn't look at the same, you know, it's not blah. He's not a
1:12:33
dirty blonde. He's kind of a brown haired guy. It doesn't
1:12:37
look anything like him. And then the I'm questioning whether this
1:12:41
is the right guy and what the hell's going on? Well, I don't
1:12:45
believe this guy. This guy's just a troll. It looks a little
1:12:47
like him. But I think again, oh, no, again, we
1:12:51
Adam Curry: don't know any since
1:12:52
John C Dvorak: you brought it up that we don't know. I don't know
1:12:54
who this guy he really is.
1:12:56
Adam Curry: A lot of 30 threes. On this particular day. So read
1:13:00
the list. There we go. Pennsylvania, 33rd. State. It
1:13:04
happened three months, three weeks and three days before the
1:13:06
election. The date was 13. Seven and 137 is the 33rd prime
1:13:11
number. Whatever. 330 333 days after Beau Biden died 33 weeks
1:13:19
and three days after the JFK anniversary. I guess you can
1:13:22
find threes anywhere three years. And 333 days after Robert
1:13:27
Trump's death brother. And and you know, there's a number of
1:13:31
these. I kind of liked the 33rd state. I like the 33333 days
1:13:39
after Beau Biden died. Me I was like, yeah, it was kind of
1:13:43
Masonic numbers.
1:13:44
John C Dvorak: Research any of this to make sure it's accurate.
1:13:46
Of
1:13:46
Adam Curry: course not. I've got other things. I'm rebuilding my
1:13:50
studio. I got no time for that. Let's, let's see what was
1:13:53
happening before this went down. Because again, the coincidence
1:13:57
of this happening when President Biden was very much on the ropes
1:14:01
is just astounding. Today behind closed
1:14:04
Unknown: doors. Senate Democrats listen for more than two hours
1:14:07
as Tom Biden campaign officials made their case for why the
1:14:10
President could still win in November and should stay in the
1:14:13
race.
1:14:14
What's on everybody's mind? Is there a clear path to victory
1:14:17
here? Can we honestly say that we're on the path to defeating
1:14:23
Donald Trump and holding on to the Senate and holding on to the
1:14:26
House of Representatives, One
1:14:27
senator describing the meeting as tense at times, were told a
1:14:31
number of lawmakers complained to the Biden team that they were
1:14:34
being put in difficult, impossible and untenable
1:14:37
positions having to defend the President's disastrous debate
1:14:40
performance to their constituents back home. One
1:14:43
senator telling ABC News, I needed to see hard data that
1:14:46
showed a path to success in November, and we did not get
1:14:49
that. Two hours later the meeting breaking up the
1:14:53
President's aides leaving senators filtering out. Some
1:14:57
of my concerns are laid. Some others have Been deepen. Peter
1:15:01
Welch of Vermont is the only senator to openly call for the
1:15:04
President to drop out writing in The Washington Post. We have
1:15:07
asked President Biden to do so much for so many for so long and
1:15:11
as required unmatched selflessness and courage. We
1:15:14
need him to put us first as he has done before. I asked him at
1:15:18
today's meeting changed his mind.
1:15:20
I have naturally flatlined, but I really appreciate why.
1:15:24
West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, hinting this situation
1:15:27
will come to a head this weekend. I
1:15:29
think everyone will be talking over Friday, Saturday and
1:15:32
Sunday, you should have some idea of what's going on go
1:15:34
Adam Curry: oh, that's kind of handy that we're all gonna have
1:15:38
the meetings this weekend. And then all of a sudden, something
1:15:41
changes as
1:15:41
Unknown: President Biden tries to regain his footing with
1:15:44
Democrats on Capitol Hill.
1:15:45
We just want to make sure that Donald Trump is not President.
1:15:49
The
1:15:49
ground is getting more slippery.
1:15:51
I think a single press conference can change things
1:15:53
habits. Now
1:15:54
John C Dvorak: the mere fact that we're sitting here having a
1:15:55
conversation about whether or not our candidate for president
1:15:59
can get through a press conference on NATO, and we're
1:16:03
having to talk about hope he gets through it.
1:16:07
Unknown: It's not what you want. Several
1:16:08
more House Democrats today publicly urged the president to
1:16:11
withdraw as the top Democrat in the House acknowledged he's
1:16:14
getting an earful. Do they confer with you try to get your
1:16:17
blessing notify you in
1:16:19
advance? As you can imagine, there have been a lot of
1:16:21
conversations and those conversations are private. This
1:16:23
afternoon,
1:16:24
three top Biden campaign officials met privately with
1:16:27
Senate Democrats trying to prevent bleeding support. Can we
1:16:30
honestly say that we're on the path to defeating Donald Trump
1:16:34
but they've already lost one Vermont's Peter Welch was the
1:16:37
first to say the president should bail on reelection? Why
1:16:41
was this the time when the right time is the President's most
1:16:44
vocal supporters in Congress include members of the
1:16:47
Congressional Black Caucus, but the Nevada Democrat who chairs
1:16:50
the groups as the Biden campaign still needs to prove itself the
1:16:53
need
1:16:54
to make change, structural change in the campaign, change
1:17:00
around strategy change around how we make investments and
1:17:04
spending to do what to win in November.
1:17:08
Adam Curry: So that was all going on. But all kinds of
1:17:11
horrible, horrible news for President Biden. And now it
1:17:14
turns out that, you know, George Clooney wrote his wrote his op
1:17:19
ed, is Clooney, a CFR member? If not, he should be yes, he is. Of
1:17:23
course he is.
1:17:23
John C Dvorak: And before you continue, Pennsylvania was the
1:17:27
second state, obviously, because Philadelphia is a foundational
1:17:31
city admitted to the Union second, not the 33rd Well,
1:17:36
that's
1:17:37
Adam Curry: just fake news, then
1:17:38
John C Dvorak: the whole thing is the whole list. I'm sure it's
1:17:41
Oh, crap.
1:17:42
Adam Curry: I'm sure it is. That's why even go to look at
1:17:45
it. But here back to Clooney. It seems like Clooney set this all
1:17:51
up and submarine Good Old Joe.
1:17:54
Unknown: So it was personally an affront to him and a hurt to him
1:17:58
to have Clooney speak out against him. I think one of the
1:18:00
things isn't the reporting also is that part of what seems to
1:18:02
have gone wrong here is that fundraiser in Los Angeles, and
1:18:06
then maybe the jetlag that we're off of it. The only reason why
1:18:10
they flew by it and from Italy, across all the way to Los
1:18:14
Angeles overnight to that was because George Clooney, where
1:18:17
they wanted to do the event said that was the only day available
1:18:19
in his shooting schedule. So there is a frustration, then
1:18:23
that comes out that then Clooney is the one who took the shot at
1:18:26
Biden. And like there are a lot of layers to what's going on
1:18:30
here. George
1:18:34
is a spy
1:18:37
Adam Curry: and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
1:18:40
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Which is weird if you asked me, but fact
1:18:44
so he did, you know, the counter argument as well. Clooney, it
1:18:47
was only there for a few minutes. And he had the day left
1:18:50
and Biden stuck around which is not necessarily accurate, or
1:18:54
it's kind of a bleeding, leaving out the information, which is
1:18:58
that Clooney had to get back to his set. Yeah, he was there for
1:19:01
a while and then went back to the film. It was for
1:19:03
Adam Curry: shooting schedule, of course. Yeah. What's more
1:19:06
important? who becomes president or my movie? Well, no, we don't
1:19:11
know what's important. Here's NBC. Again before the Trump's
1:19:16
shooting. Tonight,
1:19:17
Unknown: the list of Democrats calling on President Biden to
1:19:20
end his campaign for reelection
1:19:22
is growing. But ultimately, the President's gonna have to make
1:19:24
his own decision.
1:19:25
The first senator Peter Welch of Vermont, joining a list of more
1:19:29
than a dozen House Democrats publicly asking Biden to do the
1:19:33
same, including Earl Blumenauer from Oregon. I mean, his legacy
1:19:38
is at stake now. And despite President Biden's repeated
1:19:41
insistence that he'll remain in the race. I'm not going
1:19:44
anywhere. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries today
1:19:47
indicating his caucus is far from decided. Those
1:19:50
conversations have been candid, comprehensive, and clear eyed.
1:19:57
And they continue and
1:19:59
Senate majority of Leader Chuck Schumer batting down a report
1:20:02
claiming he has signaled to donors he's open to a change at
1:20:05
the top of the ticket by saying, quote, I support President Biden
1:20:09
and remain committed to ensuring Donald Trump is defeated in
1:20:12
November, the White House in the campaign hoping to calm Capitol
1:20:16
Hill fears sent three top officials to brief senators. But
1:20:20
many of the senators left with more questions than answers.
1:20:24
I still have concerns because I need more of the data and
1:20:28
analytics that show the path to victory. Biden
1:20:31
does have his backers in Congress who are encouraging
1:20:34
their colleagues to end this speculation and get on board.
1:20:37
We have the team, we have the operation, we have the president
1:20:41
who I trust, but
1:20:42
many others have offered less than enthusiastic support.
1:20:46
Adam Curry: And then the final one from CNN,
1:20:48
Unknown: like this is a continuing trauma and turmoil
1:20:52
for the Democrats. And when you go and talk to a lot of them,
1:20:56
what they say is I just want to be over already. I want it to
1:21:00
end. And I have heard people who say to me, I don't want Joe
1:21:03
Biden to be the nominee. I want this to change, but I don't even
1:21:07
care anymore. We just need to stop.
1:21:12
Adam Curry: And that's where it was before all this change.
1:21:14
Everything changed. In
1:21:17
John C Dvorak: really, what do you say? Let's just stop and do
1:21:20
some analysis here. Okay, first of all, do you think Biden will
1:21:24
be the nominee or not?
1:21:28
Adam Curry: So far, he is he still is the nominee. Now?
1:21:33
John C Dvorak: I got it wrapped up. Actually, if he wants to be
1:21:35
the nominee, he is the nominee. Yeah.
1:21:37
Adam Curry: And he clearly wants to be.
1:21:41
John C Dvorak: So will he be? You willing to take a chance and
1:21:45
make I guess?
1:21:47
Adam Curry: Yeah, I'll say that he will be the nominee. At the
1:21:52
convention, he will not bow out before the convention and the
1:21:55
convention, he will be the nominee. I'm pretty secure in
1:21:59
saying that deal. Well, that's fine.
1:22:01
John C Dvorak: But will he be on the ballot at the end of the day
1:22:04
in November?
1:22:05
Adam Curry: Oh, who knows? You could be dude. Oh. Yeah. The
1:22:11
other one
1:22:12
John C Dvorak: is the other cool question that we should answer
1:22:14
where we still have the big audience who's going to be the
1:22:17
VP for Trump?
1:22:19
Adam Curry: I think, oh, for Trump. I find this somehow. It
1:22:28
feels like it's not going to be anybody we're talking about.
1:22:32
John C Dvorak: I'm going to stick with my earlier
1:22:33
prediction. That's going to be Rubio.
1:22:36
Adam Curry: That will be someone no one's talking about anymore.
1:22:39
Rumor. Rubio kind of went kind of went down the list. Once JD
1:22:42
Vance came onto the scene.
1:22:45
John C Dvorak: I'm gonna stick with Rubio, because I don't if
1:22:49
he picks JD Vance, I'll be stunned. JD Vance was a never
1:22:53
Trumper he has all these issues. I mean, I don't know. He wasn't
1:23:00
a almost didn't get elected. If it wasn't for Trump. He wouldn't
1:23:03
even be in office. And Trump said something about facial
1:23:08
hair. Yeah,
1:23:09
Adam Curry: he doesn't like he doesn't like Pete guys with
1:23:10
facial hair. That's true.
1:23:14
Unknown: I saw I saw
1:23:17
Adam Curry: someone on Tik Tok, I think hits obvious. She said
1:23:22
Baron is going to be his VP. Forget about forget about the
1:23:26
age qualification. But he's got by the way, Baron is looking
1:23:30
like a pretty cool dude.
1:23:34
John C Dvorak: But he should be on a basketball team in some
1:23:36
college for sure. For sure.
1:23:37
Adam Curry: Yeah, for sure.
1:23:41
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he is. Yeah, Bear. It'll be interesting
1:23:44
to see how he turns out.
1:23:46
Adam Curry: Well, I think the next move is is Trump's and I
1:23:49
already told you what I think he should do. The how we move
1:23:54
forward depends entirely on his next move. I mean, it's really
1:23:58
critical. What he does. And just as an aside, I mean, he's not
1:24:05
Superman, he's 78. Anybody getting shot basically in the
1:24:09
face? That's gonna set you back a second. I would think I mean,
1:24:14
you're just like, Oh, hold on, hold on what's happening here?
1:24:17
John C Dvorak: So I just one thing is going to happen. He's
1:24:21
going to be at the convention. Yeah. Oh, for sure. And he's
1:24:24
going to come out with a big thing on his ear, a big bandage.
1:24:31
You think there's gonna be an oversized bandage, no big thing.
1:24:35
He's gonna look like Van Gogh. He's gonna come out with his big
1:24:39
band. It's just gonna be reminiscent of Jack Nicholson in
1:24:43
Chinatown who acted through the whole movie with a big bandage
1:24:47
on his nose. If you recall. Trump's gonna be like you watch
1:24:51
he's gonna come out with this big bandage on his on his ear.
1:24:55
So
1:24:57
Adam Curry: I don't know about that. Yeah, You know, I don't
1:25:01
think so I think what I do know now, again, the staging, when
1:25:07
isn't it coming up? When is the convention? Is it this week is
1:25:10
this coming week? Next week? Monday is Monday. Alright, so
1:25:12
that's tomorrow?
1:25:14
John C Dvorak: Yes, tomorrow.
1:25:16
Unknown: Now I think I
1:25:17
John C Dvorak: think the VP is going to be picked on Wednesday.
1:25:19
I think Wednesday's VP day, I'm pretty sure that until then,
1:25:22
we're going to have all the speech everybody in their system
1:25:25
is going to be giving a speech. And I think the Lonnie is even
1:25:28
going to be up there for one
1:25:29
Adam Curry: she wrote, she wrote a letter Melania wrote a letter.
1:25:33
It looks a little bit chat GPT ish to me, to be honest,
1:25:36
John C Dvorak: that probably was barely speaking. But it was it
1:25:40
was
1:25:40
Adam Curry: it was a sweet letter, you know, sweet letter,
1:25:43
like, let's all calm down. Let's, you know, there's
1:25:45
politicians are also humans, they have families. It was nice.
1:25:51
Of course, you know, gets no, no traction,
1:25:54
John C Dvorak: because oh, I wouldn't get any traction. I'm
1:25:56
sure went through a bunch of PR people too.
1:25:58
Adam Curry: So do you think our country can can can live through
1:26:02
this calmly that we can, that we can not go all in and start
1:26:06
yelling at each other? Can we hear yelling
1:26:08
John C Dvorak: at each other already? Yeah. I think it'll
1:26:11
calm down for a while, but it's gonna heat back up. You watch. I
1:26:14
mean, it's just doesn't. It's kind of part of what you want to
1:26:18
do. I have a funny clip, which would be kind of cool to play
1:26:22
before the break. Of Katie Hopkins, who is kind of a fan
1:26:29
favorite. She's used to be on the LBC she's a British
1:26:33
commentator who got kicked off the air. Yeah, because she was a
1:26:37
little too conservative for the BBC and other operations, other
1:26:42
news outlets, also
1:26:43
Adam Curry: a bit of a blowhard, and annoy she's a
1:26:45
John C Dvorak: she's a she's a Yeah, she should be an actress
1:26:49
or something because she's ridiculous. But I have to say
1:26:54
she's very funny sometimes. And this particular rant has got
1:27:00
some good material in it. batshit
1:27:02
Unknown: bonkers Biden land where Biden is out on the
1:27:05
campaign trail, like a maniac trying to run away from his
1:27:09
terminal diagnosis that's already been decided by Pelosi
1:27:13
and Obama. They're just working out which day, the guillotine
1:27:17
will finally fall, and he's acting more demented Saturday,
1:27:21
calling out weirdly when it's doing a speaker Trump's a
1:27:24
rapist, just like a drunk uncle at Walmart. He's got his cock
1:27:30
and he's trying to have a pole ring donut from Krispy Kreme. In
1:27:34
other news, the big news is that Lincoln might have been queer.
1:27:38
While we need to go back into history to put queerness in to
1:27:42
make it more acceptable now, I mean, we're surrounded by queer
1:27:45
leaders. Macron Trudeau. I mean, I'd hug you kissed armor. And of
1:27:51
course, you've got a bomber with big mind. You don't need to make
1:27:54
Lincoln game darlings, you've got them surrounded all the
1:27:57
time. And finally, Trump is absolutely owning this chaos
1:28:01
amongst the Democrats and loving it. He fed the media a headline
1:28:06
yesterday, which is that is VP pick is a bit like being on The
1:28:11
Apprentice, knowing that they would gobble it up, make the
1:28:14
story all about him in an elevated way. It looks like
1:28:17
darling Melania will turn up at the RNC and she will be
1:28:20
perfection. And even if you criticize Melania even if you
1:28:24
have things to say about her, at least she's not guilty of elder
1:28:28
abuse like Joe That's it. Because Biden and I have
1:28:33
Adam Curry: one more question for you Do it because one thing
1:28:35
that I heard a lot was well, he's guaranteed to win now. Do
1:28:39
you buy? I mean, I'm not quite
1:28:42
John C Dvorak: sure why not buying it because I somebody
1:28:44
sent it. I sent that same note back they said everybody, the
1:28:47
Democrats have something that Republicans don't have, and
1:28:50
that's a machine. They create votes they they literally
1:28:55
literally dead people. Dead people vote Democrat, they don't
1:29:00
vote Republican. And and a lot of people vote more than once.
1:29:04
And as usually Democrats, they have a machine they Chicago is
1:29:08
probably the epitome of this machine, where they just run
1:29:12
everything. And as she runs through the machine and out
1:29:14
comes a winner. California has largely adopted it. And so we
1:29:18
have nothing but Democrats and in the school systems push it
1:29:21
and they push the Democrat narrative and so no, I don't
1:29:25
think anything's a shoo in. Yeah, if it if they if they turn
1:29:31
the machine off, it'll be a landslide, I think. What's his
1:29:35
name, the extra music guy. The EX political consultant, the guy
1:29:45
with the round head he looks a little like a cartoon character
1:29:49
is Obama's guy Oh
1:29:50
Adam Curry: X or X X, X or X. The X Men X
1:29:54
John C Dvorak: he thinks is going to be if, if Biden stays
1:29:58
in he keeps predicting landslide which says to me, and he's part
1:30:01
of the machine. He's, he's the Chicago machine. And so that
1:30:05
means that there's a possibility that the Democrats will turn the
1:30:08
machine off. Well, that seems to be the threat. I don't see any
1:30:13
reason Axelrod saying that unless that's a threat to turn
1:30:16
off the machine.
1:30:20
Adam Curry: Well, I'm still going to hold the event even
1:30:22
though this happened, I'm still going to say that they really
1:30:25
want him in they want they want the him to handle the financial
1:30:29
problems that are inevitable. And he's probably the guy to do
1:30:33
it. He's probably the guy to do it.
1:30:37
John C Dvorak: Or the guy to blame.
1:30:38
Adam Curry: The just a man you're so project 2025 I there's
1:30:44
some, there was some Yale lady who explained it was hilarious.
1:30:47
She's like, they want to get rid of people who farmers who, who
1:30:51
farm corn, you go into the document, you say, Well, yeah,
1:30:55
it's actually it's a GMO corn. They want to get rid of that.
1:30:58
Okay.
1:31:00
John C Dvorak: Project 2025, which I believe Trump doesn't
1:31:04
know anything about not much Or does anybody I mean, this is
1:31:07
like, out of the blue document that's used as a as a cudgel by
1:31:12
the Democrats to beat up the Republicans. And it's like, hey,
1:31:16
you've looked at it. I haven't even seen a copy.
1:31:19
Adam Curry: Yeah, no, I've put it in the show notes twice.
1:31:21
Actually, what I like is all the you know, all the memes that are
1:31:25
going around, I have a list of them. So because of course no
1:31:28
one no one really reads it only dopes like me. Well look, it's
1:31:33
900 pages. I don't expect you to read it. In it. Arby's five for
1:31:38
$5 returns $5
1:31:40
John C Dvorak: would elicit these up myself,
1:31:42
Adam Curry: I love this $5 footlongs come back to Subway
1:31:45
ashtrays, and Burger King is MC rib all year round. Dining Pizza
1:31:51
Huts with red cups and these my Marlboro points catalog returns
1:31:55
I like that one. And how about this pull tab beer cans who
1:31:58
doesn't want him? Smoking in real food on planes? Put CD
1:32:05
players back in cars.
1:32:08
John C Dvorak: CD player in mind, you have well hello your
1:32:11
car.
1:32:14
Adam Curry: No fat chicks in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
1:32:17
Issue. Middle car seat with no middle car seat with no seat
1:32:22
belts and a federal bailout for Red Lobster that I actually that
1:32:28
to me is like there's America man is like we just go and do
1:32:31
it. There's a lot he makes fun of floating around
1:32:34
John C Dvorak: that. And
1:32:34
Adam Curry: with that I'd like to thank you for your courage in
1:32:36
the morning to you the man who put the sea and Kruk say hello
1:32:38
to my friend on the other end the one and only Mr. John
1:32:47
John C Dvorak: ships and see boots on the ground feet in the
1:32:49
air subs in the water the games and nights out there. Alright,
1:32:52
let's
1:32:52
Adam Curry: do a troll counts here. We got going on.
1:32:59
4031 No, yeah. 4031 Trolls hanging out listening in good.
1:33:07
But
1:33:07
John C Dvorak: that's the new record.
1:33:08
Adam Curry: I think it is a record. No, I
1:33:10
John C Dvorak: know. It's a record. I write these down. More
1:33:13
assassination
1:33:14
Adam Curry: attempts. This is good. Well, I hope that
1:33:18
everyone's Okay, hope
1:33:20
John C Dvorak: we're all we're all dealing directly. 3046 Oh,
1:33:23
you
1:33:23
Adam Curry: brought that down. We had 2347 on the last Sunday.
1:33:26
So this is good. The trolls, of course are in the troll room.
1:33:29
Hit forth. Give me the number 4031.
1:33:33
John C Dvorak: That's dynamite. Almost 1000 More than the old
1:33:36
record
1:33:36
Adam Curry: now. Well, I'm happy that people come to listen to
1:33:39
the voice of reason as we cut through the fog of facts.
1:33:43
Because breaking, nobody knows anything. But well, no more on
1:33:48
Thursday. Let's not. Let's not obsess about, you know too much.
1:33:54
Because that's the point. Yeah, though, Bob, pay attention all
1:34:00
this meanwhile, who knows what's happening? That's what we
1:34:02
needed. What is going on? What is happening, this stuff going
1:34:05
on something that
1:34:05
John C Dvorak: we aren't clipsham stuff going on? I
1:34:07
didn't really annoy me. That's why the Eclipse came in so late
1:34:10
because I was doing my normal clip routine. All of this is
1:34:13
wiped off the map. And I know I know. So all I have is just a
1:34:18
million to these clips about this. Your speculation about one
1:34:22
thing or another this is no good. It's
1:34:24
Adam Curry: only to keep people busy and busy, distracted and
1:34:28
divided. That's always the point of any distracted
1:34:34
John C Dvorak: and divided the big three. Yes.
1:34:38
Adam Curry: The trolls are a troll room.io You can go there
1:34:41
at any time. It's 24/7. There's always something happening. And
1:34:46
we got a lot of a lot of shows on the no agenda stream. So you
1:34:50
can just leave it on. I mean, I know people have it on 24 hours
1:34:54
a day and actually in the troll room too. You can always listen
1:34:57
to it on a modern podcast app and if you do that So, now, it's
1:35:01
always whenever these things happen, you know, you get the
1:35:04
inevitable tweets, we need an emergency pod and an emergency
1:35:07
pod please. And emergency pod.
1:35:10
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's funny. Yeah, it does happen. It
1:35:12
does use the pointless
1:35:15
Adam Curry: and, and a very violating use of the word pod,
1:35:19
John C Dvorak: which is very, very, very,
1:35:21
Adam Curry: very disturbing to me is that disturbing. But if we
1:35:26
were to do that, you would know about it, because modern podcast
1:35:31
app alerts you when we go live. That's what's kind of cool about
1:35:33
it. And of course, you can listen to all of your podcasts
1:35:36
in there and bless you. You can listen to all your podcasts, you
1:35:40
can import your podcast list support independent podcast, app
1:35:44
producers, a overcast is going to do a complete a rewrite.
1:35:48
That's probably the number three app overcast. And he's gonna do
1:35:52
a whole new a whole new version. Bless you again. Sorry, that's
1:35:56
okay. Go to podcast apps.com. You can, you can pick one, pick
1:36:01
any of them, but look at all the different features. But for sure
1:36:04
we get one that has the alerts. When we update our show. And we
1:36:07
published 90 seconds from that time, you'll know that it's
1:36:09
happening. Now, unlike the mainstream media and all these
1:36:15
jokes, who we've been listening to and watching diligently who
1:36:19
can cannot say everything because they have all kinds of
1:36:22
agendas and issues. Certainly when it comes to well, like it
1:36:26
was this shooter on any kind of antidepressant SSRI, we'll never
1:36:30
hear about it. At least not at the mainstream. Maybe we'll get
1:36:32
some insight to it. And we'll let you know because the big
1:36:35
pharma owns the media with their advertising budgets, so they can
1:36:39
never say anything negative about them. And we don't we
1:36:42
don't take any corporate money of any kind. No ads. We just
1:36:45
like to be supported by our producers. That's another thing
1:36:48
we don't have. We don't have fans. We don't have an audience.
1:36:51
We don't have listeners, we don't have watchers may have
1:36:54
viewers, we have producers and boy did they send it a lot of
1:36:57
boots on the ground, and clips and information and insight and
1:37:00
a lot of help, which I think helped both of us to sift
1:37:03
through everything that was coming in, it's much
1:37:05
appreciated. It's part of our value for value model. time,
1:37:08
talent or treasure will take anything that you want to give
1:37:12
us as long as it equals the value you got out of the show.
1:37:16
So art is definitely something that we like getting from our
1:37:20
producers. We always have 20 At least 20 different pieces to
1:37:24
pick from we think it's it's while we know it's good for the
1:37:27
show people see it. It's good for sharing it gives you a
1:37:30
laugh. It makes people interested in what's in this
1:37:33
show. And I would say the artwork for episode 1676 titled
1:37:39
douche mobiel by the way, we looked after the show that the
1:37:42
douche mobiel was named after Sam Altman's supercar, which is
1:37:47
like a $30 million car. And it's a plugin like hell. And it's a
1:37:52
plug in hybrid, which is the funniest thing that art was
1:37:59
brought to us by Darren O'Neill who did a great prompt jockey
1:38:03
job and it got it he got attention. It was an even Tina
1:38:09
said was that Jake Tapper is uh yes, it is. Yes, it is Jake
1:38:13
Tapper. It had them all GT with all of his badges and then his
1:38:18
CNN Mike and his press hat. And it was really I think it was the
1:38:22
best piece we looked at anything else? No,
1:38:26
John C Dvorak: it was the best piece of it. I mean, it wasn't
1:38:28
like there was nothing that was competitive. And I'd made the
1:38:33
comment since I had complimented him earlier in the show that he
1:38:36
went out of his way to produce a winner and he's also moved up
1:38:40
the ladder and so I think he's one away from
1:38:43
Adam Curry: the guy with no artistic talent at all that we
1:38:47
can tell isn't a cruel the art world is cruel. He's
1:38:52
John C Dvorak: got one more to go and he'll be tight with
1:38:54
Martin JJ for second place all time to have another
1:38:58
Adam Curry: another Dutch master that is crazy. And Darren
1:39:04
usually it's funny how that works. These Dutch masters
1:39:09
peoples toiling away and then he slaps them together and boom it
1:39:15
making art is hard. And maybe this is this is truly the the
1:39:20
only thing that AI is good for is art for the no agenda show.
1:39:26
To be honest about it funny. That's worth 50 billion in
1:39:29
investment did we see anything else there was a loose in
1:39:33
John C Dvorak: their ass I mean that he did a couple of good
1:39:35
pieces probably and this piece the for the art generate for the
1:39:40
AI to make this art. I don't know how many times he had to
1:39:44
redo the ROMs redo the prom but every time is gotta be like 10
1:39:47
bucks or at least $1. But let's say 10 bucks were the cycle time
1:39:52
and on the part on the other end of it. It's probably cost the
1:39:58
you know, a lot of money. eventually because yeah you know
1:40:01
this wasn't a one shot
1:40:02
Adam Curry: no no no Darren let us know I'd like to know how you
1:40:06
did it well the giveaway prompt yeah and how many times he redid
1:40:11
the prompt let's see the one I'm a little tired of is all the a
1:40:17
lot of the AI art is all circle. Oh, that's all comics should
1:40:20
blogger he started his prompt is draw a circle put in it. Every
1:40:27

Nashville Winter Park, Florida 333 dot 36 And she has a
1:46:44
birthday on July 18. She'll be turning 36 And she sent in a
1:46:47
note in the morning boys wanted to you wanted a boots on the
1:46:52
ground about Taylor Swift. So did we
1:46:55
John C Dvorak: not that I know I'm glad to hear well here we
1:46:57
Adam Curry: go. Taylor Swift boots on the ground. I have a
1:47:00
terrible memory in general. But do recall the Eros tour she only
1:47:04
has one song that people are dubbing witchcraft. I assure you
1:47:07
it's not people are unhinged, but she's defending the Swifties
1:47:10
now, of course, of course some I mean, how many witchcraft songs
1:47:15
do you need? You'll one one only need one. Of course some
1:47:21
Swifties are also unhinged, but not all. I guess she's a
1:47:25
straight laced Swifty. It's just cool to hate her show to hate
1:47:29
her now. Well, I think it's always been cool. The no agenda
1:47:33
show I think has always kind of hated her. Yeah,
1:47:35
John C Dvorak: we've always kind of hit it sounds great. Yeah,
1:47:37
Adam Curry: we were always cool. Besides the Taytay hate the
1:47:40
shows are wonderful. As always, the jokes have been top notch.
1:47:43
I'm usually a free few episodes behind. But always listen when I
1:47:47
can. I'm about to venture off on a three week European vacation
1:47:51
would need some would like some travel karma and a hit of
1:47:54
relationship karma. And that couldn't hurt PS Taylor Swift
1:47:58
has a song called karma. If you have any other Swifty questions,
1:48:02
just let me know.
1:48:03
John C Dvorak: I adore no answers with this one.
1:48:07
Adam Curry: Out the door. I adore you both. I met Adam a few
1:48:10
times now. So John, you're up next. Good luck. There you go.
1:48:14
Keep up the great work. Karma is a cat love. I count his day me
1:48:18

1:48:19

1:48:49
three 3.33 We love that he sent in a note printed on paper. John
1:48:54
Adams opposite day here in Ohio County, Kentucky. You both suck.
1:48:57
Your show was terrible. And you never have good insights. Your
1:49:00
uninteresting show bores me and I never listened to it totally
1:49:03
unhelpful. This isn't my first time donating so you don't have
1:49:07
to deduce me. I've never told anyone to listen to no agenda
1:49:10
and I've never had anyone in the mouth. With this donation please
1:49:12
play every jingle you have which means no environment. Going
1:49:16
forward. I am not going to donate $5 per episode because I
1:49:19
think your value for value motto is an extremely foolish and
1:49:22
ineffective attempt to undermine the ad base Internet censorship
1:49:26
information dissemination model. I'm not encouraging no agenda
1:49:30
listeners to do that either. Joe Biden was mentally healthy. NPR
1:49:34
is a national treasure and the COVID Vax was and is safe and
1:49:37
effective. Oh geez. I can't stand the negativity I can't do
1:49:41
opposite day. I can't keep this up. I love you guys and I love
1:49:44
the no agenda show. Thanks so much. Haha. Cheers. Dave and he
1:49:48
does say Phil still a douchebag he knows who he is. All right.
1:49:54
Yeah. Opposite day when I was tough.
1:49:57

John C Dvorak: I think it's Dara Dara maybe about so he's in
1:50:20
India which is and he came through with a stripe donation
1:50:23
because the India we couldn't get any money out of them and
1:50:26
normally but the stripe has seems to work in India and we
1:50:30
fact we have two donations from him one for three three do take
1:50:36
it easy on India or off Indians we love you both despite us
1:50:40
pretending not to catch up my advisor read the other one says
1:50:44
the same guy. He comes in a second time with 300 bucks so
1:50:49

1:51:04
Indian so much? It's not true. That's what I said. I said he
1:51:07
doesn't hate Indians. So you must have said something that
1:51:10
ticked him off. All
1:51:11
John C Dvorak: Indians are so sensitive
1:51:20
Adam Curry: so says Oh, I know you're making fun of their
1:51:22
accent. Okay, yeah, there you go. The guy just supported us. I
1:51:26
liked this guy. Okay, well, he likes you. Although he's he's
1:51:30

1:51:35

Adam Curry: Kevin Olson is in Dilworth, Minnesota to 10/61
1:53:16
time donor please do do.
1:53:19
Unknown: D de deuced
1:53:22
Adam Curry: Thank you. Kevin says I'm a pharmacist so a
1:53:25
health care professional but not nearly in the weeds as your
1:53:28
neurotic neurologist friend a couple episodes ago I'm speaking
1:53:31
on experience. My father passed away live in years ago with
1:53:34
Parkinson's coupled with Lewy body dementia. Yes, we've gotten
1:53:37
a lot of these emails, a lot of good, detailed information. I've
1:53:42
been saying since 2019. Joe is a mirror image of my father
1:53:47
freezing arms, gait, difficulty memory issues, willing to bet
1:53:50
the farm hallucinations, if not now, soon. There's no way you
1:53:54
can convince me otherwise. He does not have that Joe. It's
1:53:57
sad. His family is pushing him through an extremely difficult
1:54:00
mental condition. I'm not necessarily hoping for his
1:54:03
demise, but wish we all in Perkins media could freaking
1:54:07
understand what is going on. And there's no way I want my dad
1:54:10
running the country seeing what he went through. Thanks for all
1:54:13
you guys do. And I wanted to add a another note, since one of our
1:54:19
producers sent this in, it was I mean, I said can I read this
1:54:23
because as sad as it is that my father in law was diagnosed with
1:54:28
Parkinson's over 20 years ago. Through his many medications he
1:54:31
was able to function with little issue until last year, that's
1:54:35
when the hallucinations started and they escalated quickly to
1:54:38
the point that we have placed him in special care. From what
1:54:41
we have research on the subject most Parkinson's patients will
1:54:44
eventually succumb to Lewy Body Dementia if they live long
1:54:46
enough. He says I agree 100% With your producers that talked
1:54:51
about her mother's cat in the plant and the anger and refusal
1:54:55
of help. If you didn't laugh, you'd cry. My father in law's
1:54:58
convinced he's the president of cow herbal soup, and that and
1:55:02
that all these and that all his gold is hiding in the floor
1:55:05
tiles. For the record he has no gold and was the Deputy Fire
1:55:09
Chief of the city for most of his life and it's a horrible
1:55:11
disease that's
1:55:13
John C Dvorak: terrible well I want to play a bonus clip for
1:55:15
the people that like to listen to this part of the show. Oh
1:55:18
because we got into a debate we got to debate about this because
1:55:25
this is Biden Raiden from the prompter and then just out of
1:55:27
the blue says What are you doing? Yeah, and you thought it
1:55:31
was a in your might be right we need to but he played this this
1:55:35
Biden clip.
1:55:36
Unknown: I'm gonna go to South Korea and we're gonna get to
1:55:37
chip What are you doing? I'm gonna get Japan and Korea. Yeah,
1:55:44
Adam Curry: so I saw you post about it. And I had to post
1:55:47
because you were like what is going on insinuating that I
1:55:51
think someone posted in that thread like oh is his they
1:55:54
couldn't he couldn't hear and then they were talking to him in
1:55:57
his ear. Now. This is a typical prompter fail where they
1:55:59
scrolled too fast. I think just scrolled up too fast. Could you
1:56:03
just can see him looking right at the prompter.
1:56:06
John C Dvorak: He looks up when he says what are you doing?
1:56:08
Because we know
1:56:10
Adam Curry: it's because of the prompter scrolled up and he's
1:56:12
looking about the prompt or see if the words are there. Where
1:56:15
did they go? That to me was a classic prompt or fail why
1:56:19
John C Dvorak: it does happen. Where I've read from prom during
1:56:23
read. I've never said what are you doing? When the prompter guy
1:56:27
falls asleep by the way which does happen? Yes, it's a boring
1:56:31
job.
1:56:33
Adam Curry: Yeah, we used to have prompter girl Christine,
1:56:37
and prompter boy John at MTV. This is when the prompter was on
1:56:40
a literal conveyor belt with a camera pointed at the conveyor
1:56:45
belt and they'd put big sheets of paper and roll them
1:56:48
underneath the camera. This is before we had digital digital
1:56:53
capability. And we have a little control and we just roll this
1:56:57
conveyor belt back and forth and had large type on the on the
1:57:00
event you had prompter formatted paper. That's how old I am kids.
1:57:08
John C Dvorak: There you go. Why don't you read this one? I'll
1:57:10
read the last one. Like this
1:57:12
Adam Curry: is from Eli the coffee guy. Oh your buddy.
1:57:14
That's right. Like many of the post COVID workforce it's it's
1:57:17
like the media stop trying and it's just mailing it in. To
1:57:21
paraphrase Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Solzhenitsyn salts
1:57:26
the need salts and eaten that was close. It's like social
1:57:30
philosopher dude.
1:57:32
John C Dvorak: No, he's these Ibiza novelist,
1:57:35
Adam Curry: novelist dude. To quote, salts and Easter Alex,
1:57:44
Alex, Alex said we know they're lying. They know they're lying
1:57:48
and they know that we know they're lying but they are still
1:57:50
lying. In our country the lies become not just a moral counted
1:57:54
category but a pillar of industry. Adam John thank you

Adam Curry: We were hitting them out by Sir Jason of the
2:00:16
escarpment and good book here in Austin. This is a birthday
2:00:18
donation for Matt turns 39 On Wednesday, happy birthday, Matt,
2:00:22
I love you. Matt owns a trucking company here in Texas never
2:00:25
misses an episode. And as long drives. Yes, we
2:00:27
John C Dvorak: have a lot of truckers in we have a lot of
2:00:29
truckers that listen to this show. And
2:00:31
Adam Curry: And rightly so. Rightly so. Cops to a lot of
2:00:35
yes, a lot of people have a lot of time on their hands. Let's
2:00:40
see, count him as a producer that can give you boots on the
2:00:43
ground information on the trucking industry? Well, you
2:00:45
just let us know when it's relevant. We both look forward
2:00:48
to discussing no agenda each week. And we are very thankful
2:00:50
for what you do. I worked as a staffer in Congress and a
2:00:53
lobbyist in DC, I can tell you, this is our producers, man, we
2:00:57
John C Dvorak: get to craziest producers I so it's always
2:01:01
amazing. So amazing.
2:01:03
Adam Curry: It is truly amazing. She continues, I can tell you
2:01:07
with 100% certainty, there's always another side to every
2:01:10
story. And I'm thankful you guys give voice to that and explore
2:01:13
alternative theories. We both feel frustrated and angry about
2:01:18
what the MSM and five of them and the radical left have done
2:01:21
to Trump and now the inevitable attempt on his life yesterday.
2:01:24
Sadly, we aren't surprised. Is this all part of the plot to
2:01:28
make sure Trump is elected? Well, as it seems like it'll
2:01:30
help. We look forward to your analysis. Also question for you.
2:01:34
Do you think Trump will do anything to thwart the unit
2:01:37
party? And how will he scale back the administrative state?
2:01:41
He's tried before but did not succeed.
2:01:43
John C Dvorak: And he won't say that next time.
2:01:45
Adam Curry: We'd love to hear your thoughts on how he plans to
2:01:47
do this, especially if he is handling a failing economy and
2:01:51
threat of multiple international wars. I've seen firsthand with
2:01:54
the overreach of the executive branch.
2:01:59
John C Dvorak: Oh, my God, where are we in Russian government is
2:02:03
the primary issue facing
2:02:05
Adam Curry: our thoughts? Well, lots actually, I do have a while
2:02:10
I play clip in a minute, listening to no agendas help us
2:02:13
keep the news of perspective and stay strong against enormous
2:02:15
pressure to take the COVID vaccine for ourselves and our
2:02:18
three Human Resources good for you to remove our kids from
2:02:21
public school in favor of a charter school. And to know that
2:02:24
we really should be focused on the potholes. Thank you both.
2:02:28
And thank you to all the no agenda producers who have
2:02:30
donated to keep John and Adam going, I request I love my truck
2:02:33
and a biscuit on my birthday jingle. And actually I wanted to
2:02:36
play since she asked that there was a very interesting, very
2:02:42
interesting interview, David Stockman had this analysis about
2:02:48
possibly a path for Bobby, the OP.
2:02:51
Unknown: So it is very possible that by the time we get to
2:02:55
November, that the Democrats will throw in the towel is their
2:03:00
candidate will come in very badly behind Trump, they will
2:03:05
have no way of stopping Trump, except to line up behind Robert
2:03:10
Hansen. And throw a lot of those blue state boats in the US House
2:03:16
to Kennedy. So it sounds far fetched. And I agree. There's
2:03:20
no, you know, low probability scenario. But it's possible that
2:03:25
in a hung jury in the Electoral College, and a down to the wire
2:03:31
vote in the US House come January 2025. Set you could
2:03:35
elect a third party candidate who basically would turn the
2:03:40
system upside down. Kennedy is the one guy that can get us out
2:03:46
of the Forever wars. And he's the one guy that understands
2:03:50
that government is not your friend most of the time, and it
2:03:54
needs to be curtail and contain for the constitutional process.
2:04:00
He's your real constitutionalist which is unbelievable this drop
2:04:04
is never read the Constitution by it does everything he can to
2:04:09
override it and set it aside that
2:04:12
Adam Curry: Bobby never gets any any play here. So I figured I'd
2:04:15
add that I don't think
2:04:17
John C Dvorak: I'm not talking I love what I do
2:04:19
Unknown: resist. We might
2:04:21
Adam Curry: oh wait that's not what she wants. She wanted a
2:04:23
biscuit.
2:04:24
Unknown: They always give me a biscuit on my birthday. There
2:04:26
you go.
2:04:27
Adam Curry: That's it for executive and Associate
2:04:28
Executive producers for episode 1677. Thank you all very much.
2:04:34
We are delighted and pleased that you value us enough to send
2:04:38
some value back in time, talent and treasure. We value any
2:04:41
support any any means hitting people in the mouth, maintaining
2:04:47
websites for us registering domain names that are fun, doing
2:04:51
meetups, there's so much you could jingles into show mixes it
2:04:54
is all very much appreciated. Also those who come in under our
2:04:57
executive and Associate Executive producer level we'll
2:05:00
be reading and thanking you reading your names and thanking
2:05:03
you later on. And under 50, which you don't read for reasons
2:05:07
of anonymity and and for brevity sake. And of course, we would
2:05:12
like everybody to consider a sustaining donation you can make
2:05:15
up the frequency and the amount yourself. Go to no agenda
2:05:18
donations.com And thank you again, for being supporters and
2:05:21
producers of 1677. Our formula
2:05:24
Unknown: is this.
2:05:25
We go out we hit people in the mouth
2:05:40
Adam Curry: no agenda donations.com. Go there today.
2:05:45
Do it kids.
2:05:48
John C Dvorak: Off the Wall Clip to play? Okay. You know, we're
2:05:53
sure the United States spends all his money on armaments that
2:05:56
we just give away to other nations in the form of suppose
2:05:59
it loans and whatever. Military here
2:06:03
Adam Curry: military gear, here's
2:06:04
John C Dvorak: what China does with their resources. This is
2:06:08
China in Africa.
2:06:09
Unknown: A new report says Beijing's mouthpiece now has a
2:06:12
presence in over 70% of African countries, while US funded
2:06:17
broadcaster Voice of America only has one Bureau on the
2:06:21
continent.
2:06:22
There's an impact in the sense that China is able to establish
2:06:26
and instill certain media and ideological narratives on the
2:06:31
African continent. Narratives such as solidarity with China,
2:06:37
you know, sort of trying to export authoritarian models onto
2:06:40
the African continent. Herman
2:06:41
Wasserman, head of the University of Cape town's Media
2:06:44
Studies Department detailed one case, he told me about times
2:06:48
that he's seen Chinese media reports outline how US companies
2:06:52
are profiting from Russia's war on Ukraine. He said the media
2:06:56
reports suggested that Washington is keeping the war
2:06:59
going because it's making money. But what makes Africa a target
2:07:03
for influence. The continent has abundant rare earth minerals,
2:07:07
resources critical for making green energy products. African
2:07:11
countries also hold over a quarter of the voting power in
2:07:15
the United Nations. An economic pressure on those countries
2:07:18
could sway their choice of votes. Zooming out, Chinese
2:07:22
state controlled broadcasters have a big reach in Africa. In
2:07:26
Kenya alone, China's state broadcaster shengguan reaches
2:07:29
more than 10 million people every month. China's propaganda
2:07:33
department also provides free content for African state and
2:07:37
private broadcasters. In addition, it trains many young
2:07:41
African journalists and since them on paid trips to China,
2:07:44
China
2:07:45
trains a lot of journalists actually probably trains more
2:07:48
journalists, more African journalists than any other
2:07:51
western country. Ah,
2:07:52
Adam Curry: not surprising. And did you hear about Uganda since
2:07:56
we're on Africa news for a moment new gold discovery and
2:08:01
Uganda valued at close to $13 trillion
2:08:08
John C Dvorak: how does that lay there languishing for all these
2:08:11
years
2:08:13
Adam Curry: and will that affect the gold price you think it
2:08:15
would like all of a sudden there's this new glut of gold
2:08:19
the glut of gold there you go
2:08:21
John C Dvorak: well it depends on how hard it is to get out
2:08:24
Adam Curry: well they there they got a got a picture on the just
2:08:28
lick they're like just pans of it. Oh look at all this gold and
2:08:33
then and this is the mistake they're now saying hey, maybe we
2:08:37
should do a gold backed currency Listen guys, Gadhafi this is not
2:08:46
so
2:08:46
John C Dvorak: you know you're gonna find you're gonna find
2:08:49
gold a big pile of it like trillions of dollars worth you'd
2:08:52
want to cordon off the whole area and say oh there's hardly
2:08:55
any here because you know what you've done is pulled a you know
2:09:00
an Osborne and pre announced all this gold Yeah, probably not a
2:09:03
not a good strategy is going to it will lower the price.
2:09:08
Adam Curry: Some climate change news this. This one was
2:09:13
interesting. Maybe you know more about about this phenomenon. New
2:09:17
research has revealed that the solid inner core of our planet
2:09:21
may have reversed its rotation. A comparison of earthquakes
2:09:26
seismic waves from the past decade with those from similar
2:09:30
quakes in the 1960s showed that the inner cores rotation
2:09:34
relative to Earth's outer layers stopped from 2009 to 2020. And
2:09:40
now it may have reversed direction something that appears
2:09:44
to happen every 60 to 70 years or so, while more research is
2:09:49
needed. If the cause rotation has reversed. A number of things
2:09:54
could be impacted such as the length of our day, Earth's
2:09:58
geomagnetic field and Even our climate. Now I've heard about
2:10:02
the poles reversing. And this is something that's happened
2:10:05
historically. But I didn't know about Earth's inner core.
2:10:09
John C Dvorak: Reverse the zero 10 record that accounts for the
2:10:12
poles. The magnetic field, it's creates a magnetic field by
2:10:17
spinning around, I guess. Why don't you think about this?
2:10:20
Well,
2:10:20
Adam Curry: I'll tell you, I'll tell you one thing. This has
2:10:22
been a beautiful summer. It's 70 degrees in the evening. It's,
2:10:25
it's phenomenal here in Texas right now. And it's well into
2:10:30
July. This is this is not on par with the past couple of summers.
2:10:37
Even though on record,
2:10:39
John C Dvorak: this summer we have here or the July we have
2:10:43
here is very much the same, as usual, is overcast and cold.
2:10:51
Adam Curry: And this field was named weirdos.
2:10:54
John C Dvorak: In the 60s in the 1800s is what Mark Twain was
2:10:57
bitching about saying, you know, the coldest winter I've ever
2:11:00
spent was the July in San Francisco. It's still true. I
2:11:05
was reading I was not I don't you know, this is just normal.
2:11:08
It's annoying.
2:11:09
Adam Curry: I was reading another Mark Twain quote, quote
2:11:12
the other day with something that went like this. Politicians
2:11:16
are like diapers both should be changed frequently. Does that
2:11:23
sound like a Twain quote to you?
2:11:25
John C Dvorak: It sounds like one of the it may be maybe an
2:11:29
end of his little long and then
2:11:30
Adam Curry: violence case, we got both. So back to climate
2:11:35
change for a second one of the one of the big promises, is
2:11:40
flying cars on batteries. It's going to be great. Everybody,
2:11:44
everybody will have a flying car. There'll be no emissions,
2:11:48
you get to traffic, it's all going to end is great. There's
2:11:51
100 companies at least all soliciting investor money. What
2:11:58
they never mentioned is your actual radius is about 60 miles,
2:12:01
you can fly for about 27 minutes, and then the battery
2:12:04
has to either be changed or recharged. And they were
2:12:07
supposed to have a big demo of actually, I mean, it's not a
2:12:10
flying car. It's a helicopter. It's a it's a it's basically a
2:12:13
drone, you've probably seen it with the big, circular disc on
2:12:17
top with all of the propellers. And the body looks like a
2:12:21
helicopter body. It's a very ugly, very ugly thing. And I was
2:12:24
supposed to be debuting an air taxiing people for the Paris
2:12:29
Olympics, which is about
2:12:31
John C Dvorak: this area they're supposed to be we're gonna have
2:12:33
one of these air type electric air taxis around the Bay Area
2:12:36
supposedly, yeah,
2:12:37
Adam Curry: Dream On next
2:12:38
Unknown: is one of the many logistical questions still
2:12:41
hanging over the Paris Olympics two weeks from the opening
2:12:44
ceremony. Will there be flying taxis? Well, he had to
2:12:47
disappoint us tech editor Peter O'Brien.
2:12:50
Adam Curry: By the way, I'd like that introduction. Here to here
2:12:54
to disappoint us. Just perfect. Peter, the
2:12:57
Unknown: idea has seen its wings clipped in the end.
2:13:00
It has to be honest, I'm quite quite sick of flying taxis now.
2:13:04
We see them every year all the trade shows they're there every
2:13:07
year at Viva tech. I've not been in one. Have you been in one? I
2:13:10
don't think anyone's actually, you know, no one's really flown
2:13:14
in them apart from very select few people though they've been
2:13:16
sort of bandied around for years. Case in point last year's
2:13:19
Paris Air Show the Paris airports Company announced with
2:13:23
its German startup partner volocopter, that by the Olympics
2:13:27
this year, they would have electric vertical takeoff and
2:13:30
landing aircraft services in time for the games. In other
2:13:34
words, human sized drones carrying carrying passengers
2:13:38
flitting around the city. Now, they then started to sort of
2:13:43
backtrack, and we heard that a few months ago volocopter saying
2:13:47
that there would not necessarily be commercial flights available
2:13:51
because even though they did say they had backing from the French
2:13:53
Civil Aviation Authority, they would need a host of other
2:13:57
approvals for this. And then they then started talking about
2:14:00
demonstration flights featuring celebrities VIPs and athletes
2:14:05
with two weeks to go they don't even have this French Aviation
2:14:08
Authority approval to even run demonstration flights on the
2:14:12
routes they're hoping to do so let alone commercial flights,
2:14:15
which I say as I say would require a whole load more
2:14:18
approvals.
2:14:21
Adam Curry: It's never going to happen. The weight to power to
2:14:25
weight ratio is ridiculously stupid. So then we have this I
2:14:31
don't know where this story came. I got it from a number of
2:14:35
different people about it's too hot for rescue helicopters to
2:14:39
fly. In this incredible heatwave we're having and on Yahoo. They
2:14:46
so they're talking about extreme heat baking the West emergency
2:14:51
helicopters struggled to fly they literally show a picture of
2:14:55
a helicopter in the UK, just to make a stupid You know, with a
2:15:00
GE registration, and they show an MD 902. I'm very familiar
2:15:05
with the F flown at the MD 902, which has a, an operating
2:15:10
temperature of minus, it's like minus 40 and plus 127. And by
2:15:16
the way, for every 1000 feet, you you go up in altitude, the
2:15:21
temperature drops by three degrees to two and a half to
2:15:25
four degrees, I think depending on where you are. And so a lot
2:15:28
of these rescue helicopters are saying, but we can't fly. And I
2:15:32
will say to that there are helicopters that are
2:15:34
specifically made for high and hot temperature. And if your
2:15:40
helicopter can't fly to save one, you don't have the right
2:15:42
gear. So I don't know what what the stories are about all of a
2:15:46
sudden that tiny warming climate change, but you need you need
2:15:51
different a different helicopter, there are
2:15:53
helicopters that are causing air density is the problem. That's
2:15:56
really it's not that the engines melting or the or the the
2:16:00
controls can't handle it. It's the air density, which
2:16:03
definitely becomes a lot less dense with heat. But there are n
2:16:07
different blade configure as a whole bunch of ways that this is
2:16:11
solved. So I don't know if people are maybe they want new
2:16:15
gear. And we need new helicopter or you're talking new
2:16:18
helicopters. That must be it. But I just got a lot of people
2:16:21
asking that question, so I figured I'd answer it.
2:16:26
John C Dvorak: You did a great job.
2:16:28
Adam Curry: Thank you. And then this news which came to us part
2:16:33
of the cyber pandemic as predicted
2:16:36
Unknown: yet another data breach this time at AT and T and nearly
2:16:39
all of its customers are affected. at&t revealed just
2:16:43
today I crystal the records of calls and texts of 10s of
2:16:46
millions of cell phone users and many non customers were exposed
2:16:50
as well. The wireless company says the data was illegally
2:16:53
downloaded and a third party cloud platform. at&t says their
2:16:57
breach includes data capture between May 1 of 2022 and
2:17:01
October 31 of that same year. Plus it also includes records
2:17:06
from January 2 to 2023. For a very small number of customers.
2:17:10
at&t has more than 100 million wireless customers and all
2:17:14
here's what the stolen logs contain a record of every number
2:17:18
a customer called or texted, the number of times they interacted
2:17:21
and the duration of those calls. at&t says the data does not
2:17:25
contain the content of calls or texts, or other personal
2:17:29
information like social security numbers and dates of birth.
2:17:32
However, the company acknowledges that publicly
2:17:34
available tools can often link names with specific phone
2:17:38
numbers. The company admits it learned about it back in April.
2:17:42
You might recall that was while the company was dealing with an
2:17:44
unrelated major data leak. TNT released a statement saying in
2:17:49
part, we launched an investigation and engaged
2:17:51
leading cybersecurity experts to understand the nature and scope
2:17:55
of the criminal activity. We have taken steps to close off
2:17:59
the illegal access point. That goes on to say the company is
2:18:03
cooperating with law enforcement and reports at least one person
2:18:06
has been apprehended so
2:18:07
far that our Justice says it is investigating the incident at&t
2:18:11
promising to defy current and former customers whose
2:18:14
information was involved in this hack and provide them with
2:18:16
resources to help protect the information moving forward.
2:18:19
Adam Curry: This is so the reporting is so poor This is
2:18:22
they're just reading press releases at this point. This is
2:18:26
part of the snow snowflake issue. Snowflake is this company
2:18:30
that does external data for companies and they they're the
2:18:33
ones that have all these problems and from what I
2:18:35
understand it's coming from probably from the exploiting
2:18:39
Confluence you remember this bike maybe a year ago? I don't
2:18:45
know if it was a zero day but somehow the you know Atlassian
2:18:49
they have all they bought all these different programs. They
2:18:52
have JIRA and Confluence and another one I'm sure and
2:18:57
Confluence I mean we use that at me vo but that's been
2:19:01
compromised at some some crazy low level and it's just that's
2:19:05
just been a leaking sieve and a lot of government a lot of
2:19:10
government contractor contractors use it government
2:19:13
use it in general but he does like no reporting on it. And and
2:19:20
even funnier, the award winning technology podcast pivot with
2:19:25
your buddy Cara. Cara go ahead Swisher. They're all they do ad
2:19:32
reads. And the and Atlassian advertises on their podcast. Do
2:19:36
you think they would handle this issue? I think they would report
2:19:40
on it.
2:19:42
John C Dvorak: Well, not if they want to keep their advertiser.
2:19:45
Exactly.
2:19:48
Adam Curry: But at this point, I mean, I wasn't AT and T customer
2:19:54
and one of those previous leaks leaked all of my information.
2:19:58
And they are how many days Front offers do I need to get from
2:20:01
companies that say, oh, we'll give you a year off of dark box
2:20:07
or whatever, you know, all these different companies that that
2:20:11
protect you protect your identity, it's compromised, your
2:20:14
compromise. Everything is compromised. It's no good and
2:20:18
the reporting is poor. We should start a tech show.
2:20:24
John C Dvorak: Because everyone is so interested. The did you
2:20:29
what? What was? So what's the status of this fiber going down?
2:20:33
Adam Curry: My fiber? Yeah, no, they didn't tell me
2:20:37
John C Dvorak: up again. Oh, yeah. No,
2:20:39
Adam Curry: it was down for about eight hours. And you know,
2:20:42
I diligently go on the website, and I type in my address, which
2:20:46
I'm sure is being leaked somewhere. And then they and
2:20:49
they say, well, there's no outage. And then I go to the
2:20:51
chat bot. And I go through all the questions until it finally
2:20:55
says, Would you like to speak to a human? Yes, please. And then
2:20:59
you get little dot dot dot bubbling. Oh, hi. Looking up
2:21:04
your data. Okay. All right. I see. Yeah. Already. Did you
2:21:08
check on the outage? Yeah, I checked on the outage. There's
2:21:10
nothing there. Let me check your line. Via five minutes later.
2:21:14
Well, it looks like you are in the area of an outage. And then
2:21:18
also an outage shows up on their outage map will text you when
2:21:22
it's back up? No. It's also poor.
2:21:26
John C Dvorak: When you went to what's the provider frontier,
2:21:29
Adam Curry: which they bought up the FiOS system from was that
2:21:33
Verizon Fios. And in general is good. I mean, it's I haven't had
2:21:38
a problem for at least a year. It goes down yet. Maybe once a
2:21:42
year. There's something but they did not tell me what's
2:21:44
happening.
2:21:47
John C Dvorak: I have a couple of clips from Scott Ritter
2:21:51
analyzing the Ukraine air defenses that are that keep
2:21:55
wanting more money from us. And more, more,
2:21:58
Adam Curry: more gear. Yes. And the Dutch f6 teams
2:22:02
John C Dvorak: and Scots kind of a boring guy but he I think he's
2:22:05
accurate with his analysis. So I thought I clipped this in play
2:22:09
it Ukraine
2:22:10
Unknown: seems to have a particular desire for the
2:22:13
Patriot air defense system, but it will take whatever it can
2:22:17
get, whether it be NASAMS whether it be the Irish T
2:22:21
whether it be the French Mamba, they're just looking for modern
2:22:25
air defense systems. The problem is how do you reconstruct
2:22:30
integrated air defense umbrella when you don't have an existing
2:22:35
umbrella under which you will be allowed to maneuver these newly
2:22:41
acquired air defense batteries into place, set them up, get
2:22:44
them prepared to fight. You see, when Ukraine was initially
2:22:47
provided with these NATO air defense systems, the Patriots
2:22:51
NASAMS Iris de Mamba, they had a Soviet era air defense umbrella
2:22:57
that consisted primarily of the s 300 air defense system, but
2:23:01
there were others the book and other systems in place. And so
2:23:04
Russia had to contend with an existing capable air defense
2:23:08
system in order to get to the air defense systems that were
2:23:12
being provided by NATO. This allowed Ukraine the time to put
2:23:16
these systems where they wanted to put them and to operate them
2:23:20
roughly the way they were intended to be operated,
2:23:24
including with great assistance from Western technical
2:23:27
specialists, Western intelligence, etc. But now we
2:23:30
have a situation where this air defense umbrella no longer
2:23:33
exists and when Ukraine brings in their air defense systems,
2:23:37
they have to do to so in a very makeshift haphazard manner. They
2:23:42
aren't able to use them the way they were designed. This
2:23:45
requires trickery, you know, turning on and off radars firing
2:23:50
missiles before radar lock is taking place. It's a very
2:23:53
inefficient way to use air defense systems. And because
2:23:57
Russia is able to put an intelligence surveillance and
2:23:59
reconnaissance umbrella over Ukraine anytime Ukraine uses air
2:24:03
defense it's detected and then the Russians in very short
2:24:07
order, locate and destroy the systems. Why isn't that
2:24:11
Adam Curry: the whole point so we can get more money to send
2:24:14
more
2:24:15
John C Dvorak: guy get trumpet just to stop the stupid war.
2:24:20
Anyway, goes on his muzzle rapid
2:24:23
Unknown: pretty much Ukraine's in one of these vicious cycles
2:24:26
where there simply isn't enough weapon systems available to
2:24:32
allow Ukraine to build the air defense umbrella it needs in
2:24:37
Russia will continue to destroy those weapons systems that are
2:24:40
provided by the West, depleting the West's own supply of air
2:24:44
defense system. This is one of the detrimental consequences of
2:24:48
the attritional warfare that's being waged today in Ukraine.
2:24:52
Russia is able to destroy Ukrainian military equipment
2:24:56
provided by the West especially air defense and Iran. far
2:25:00
greater than the West can resupply Ukraine or even
2:25:04
replenish its own stocks. This is a losing equation. And
2:25:08
without air defense, Ukraine is literally an open target for
2:25:13
Russia to take apart as it best sees fit. This is one of the
2:25:16
consequences of the war in Ukraine. And it's one of the
2:25:21
issues that this NATO Summit has not been able to resolve in
2:25:25
favor of Ukraine. Indeed, no issue has been resolved in favor
2:25:29
of Ukraine. That's the reality of NATO today.
2:25:32
Adam Curry: Oh, it's even worse than that. a stern warning from
2:25:37
Moscow about the latest development in Germany,
2:25:41
Unknown: Russia is stationing need us long range missiles here
2:25:45
in Germany could mean that European capital cities become
2:25:48
military targets. The Biden administration announced the
2:25:52
deployment from 2026 at a NATO summit in Washington earlier
2:25:56
this week. Now the agreement includes Tomahawk and hypersonic
2:26:00
missiles, these weapons are nuclear capable and have a range
2:26:03
of more than 2000 kilometers. The US and German governments
2:26:07
say the development is immense their commitment to NATO and
2:26:11
European Defence
2:26:12
Adam Curry: the German citizens who believe it or not, or just
2:26:15
people have banded together and protest and when you do that,
2:26:19
what do you do? Well, you get all of your country singers
2:26:22
together and do it We Are the World type deal. And they said
2:26:26
this is no us playing it because obviously it's all in German.
2:26:31
It's kind of black and white video and it's all the you know,
2:26:33
it's like the heavy metal guys singing the folk singer girls
2:26:36
singing and and like some opera guy singing and they all take
2:26:40
turns. And the the the chorus is we're not going to give you our
2:26:45
sons. We're not going to give you our sons to fight your
2:26:48
battles. A little late, Germany,
2:26:53
John C Dvorak: I say a little late. Yeah.
2:26:58
Adam Curry: That means the people don't matter anymore.
2:27:01
They don't matter to any of these
2:27:02
John C Dvorak: journeys. Leaders are no good. They are not.
2:27:07
Adam Curry: They are not.
2:27:10
John C Dvorak: But as Katie Hopkins says, at least they're
2:27:12
clear.
2:27:14
Adam Curry: Let's do a little bit of Big Pharma news here AI
2:27:17
development. Now the breaking news this morning from fire. I'm
2:27:20
sorry, not a development. It's breaking news. Now the breaking
2:27:24
news this morning from Pfizer, the drug makers moving forward
2:27:27
with a daily weight loss pill. Ariel ratcheted back with what
2:27:30
we know. Good morning again. Aereo Hey,
2:27:32
Unknown: good morning again to you, Michael. It's approved this
2:27:34
would be one more tool in the fight against obesity Pfizer
2:27:37
this morning announcing it has selected a formula for its once
2:27:40
a day GLP one receptor weight loss pill. The pills intent is
2:27:44
to act similarly, as a as those weekly shots like the Gobi and
2:27:48
zet bound that suppress appetite and lower food intake. While
2:27:51
last winter, Pfizer decided to end a trial of a pill that you
2:27:55
take twice a day after 50% of the participants reported
2:27:59
experiencing side effects like nausea and vomiting. They come
2:28:02
and they stop taking those pills by the way the company decided
2:28:05
to end instead rather to channel its efforts into creating a pill
2:28:09
patients would only take once a day Pfizer will be developing
2:28:13
the pill through the end of the year and will start trials after
2:28:16
that to determine the safety and efficacy and tolerability before
2:28:20
submitting it to the FDA for approval. Rebecca so much
2:28:23
popularity among these drugs you can see why they're trying to
2:28:26
get one out there as well. Ariel Thank you
2:28:29
Adam Curry: know, they're all trying to get it onto Medicare.
2:28:30
That's that's really a goal. boots on the ground. John and
2:28:37
Adam by work at a third party administrator for group health
2:28:41
benefit plans. I know I'm a real hoot. This is our producers
2:28:46
enjoying your coverage of the GLP one craze I'll be keeping my
2:28:49
ear to the ground at work for any info you might find useful
2:28:52
decided to send this off our chief legal officer told me how
2:28:57
it's easier for patients to get coverage now for bariatric
2:29:00
surgery, because it's cheaper for the insurers than GLP ones.
2:29:06
Bariatric Surgery tends to be a covered service for our clients,
2:29:09
which is large employers, but patients are usually required to
2:29:13
jump through a lot of insurance hoops because it's so expensive.
2:29:15
The thought of that surgery actually being preferred by
2:29:18
insurers really points out to how out of control the GLP ones
2:29:22
have become. Example my co worker has a family member who
2:29:26
is roughly 40 pounds overweight, they were denied Medicaid in
2:29:29
Nevada coverage, Nevada for GOP ones and we're guided towards
2:29:33
bariatric surgery instead which was approved and her two cents.
2:29:40
Driving people towards the surgery is very extreme,
2:29:42
expensive and unnecessary option when you could just incentivize
2:29:46
healthy behavior. A little fat shaming paired with health
2:29:50
benefits for nutritional counseling and personal training
2:29:53
could go a long way to saving insurers money and saving
2:29:56
patients from the extra health risks that come with surgery or
2:29:59
medication. Since Well, I can tell you that I've heard from
2:30:03
other people in the medical device industry, other
2:30:06
producers, that they've got a lot of lobbyists on K Street
2:30:12
pushing for more bariatric surgery because they're
2:30:15
basically going out of business because of GLP. One. So these
2:30:19
are the fights that are going on. Yeah, have a surgery. That's
2:30:24
better. Oh, take a pill. It's better. Is
2:30:30
Unknown: it less?
2:30:33
Adam Curry: Easy for you to say? Easy for you to say? Update on
2:30:38
our astronauts.
2:30:39
Unknown: NASA has acknowledged potential alternatives to
2:30:42
Boeing's Starliner if needed to bring back astronauts to Earth
2:30:47
from the International Space Station. So
2:30:48
the Starliner brought the two astronauts to Space Station on
2:30:52
his first mission carrying people but the pair have been
2:30:55
docked far longer than planned. NASA said, NASA says the pair
2:30:59
may return at the end of the month pending results of testing
2:31:01
on a faulty propulsion system. And the space agency said
2:31:05
Boeing's Starliner still remains the primary option for what
2:31:09
Adam Curry: you clip is coming in and out. Yeah, I know. But
2:31:12
everyone else can hear just not you. Boeing's
2:31:15
Unknown: Starliner still remains the primary option for returning
2:31:18
crew. But officials did acknowledge that a Space X
2:31:21
capsule could be part of a contingency plan for returning
2:31:25
them if necessary. At the moment, officials don't see any
2:31:27
reason just yet to turn to another transportation option
2:31:31
that we like options.
2:31:33
Adam Curry: Alright, so let me explain what what happened. So
2:31:37
after both my drives blew up,
2:31:42
John C Dvorak: you can explain what happened with the Starliner
2:31:45
Adam Curry: now they're gonna have to come back on the on Elon
2:31:48
Z
2:31:49
John C Dvorak: deal. Yeah, there you go. Elon is going to lord it
2:31:51
over him after that.
2:31:53
Adam Curry: And I guess rightly so. Yeah, I
2:31:56
John C Dvorak: think so too.
2:31:59
Adam Curry: So both of these my all my machines have now blown
2:32:06
up ever blowing
2:32:08
John C Dvorak: up problem?
2:32:09
Adam Curry: I do. And then as I say, I bet
2:32:11
John C Dvorak: you you know, how about getting some ups is in
2:32:13
there. Maybe that's got something to do with it? No, you
2:32:17
don't think so?
2:32:19
Adam Curry: That my mistake was to listen to you and ghost my
2:32:21
drive.
2:32:23
John C Dvorak: But what else were you gonna do? Well,
2:32:25
Adam Curry: I don't know. But I Ghost Ghost. I'll tell you what
2:32:29
happened. And I think it's my fault. Okay, well, that will
2:32:31
that make you feel better. So I don't
2:32:33
John C Dvorak: really care one way or the other. I'm just
2:32:35
telling you that most people ghost the drive and you're fine
2:32:38
and dandy afterwards, unless they have some power issues. So
2:32:43
Adam Curry: I ghosted the drive. And which worked fine. I had a
2:32:49
perfect copy. And the machine was working now it's a surface a
2:32:53
Surface Pro eight. So you can't actually get to the battery or
2:32:56
the drive. Of course, Microsoft, that was cheap, weird. Now I was
2:33:01
cheap. And I so then I decided, well, let me see how it works.
2:33:09
And so I decided to try and boot up from the ghost to drive. And
2:33:14
that's when it all fell apart. And then both boot records or
2:33:18
master boot records or whatever it is exactly, I don't know, got
2:33:24
corrupted. I couldn't save it with the rescue disk. I couldn't
2:33:27
I couldn't restore it. The only you know, have you ever been in
2:33:31
the automatic repair loop? Have you ever seen so
2:33:34
John C Dvorak: I would never run that in a million years but
2:33:36
doesn't do
2:33:37
Adam Curry: anything is it just keeps going into a loop? It was
2:33:40
horrible. Yeah, it doesn't do anything. It was it was
2:33:43
absolutely horrible. Now I was lucky. Lucky that Jeremy Allen
2:33:50
had sent me a Dell 3830 at slimline computer and and he
2:33:57
loaded windows 10 on it and he took out all the bloatware and
2:34:00
he really it really was very kind of him they sent it with a
2:34:04
with a keyboard and mouse and some green tips, armor piercing
2:34:10
the shells some rounds you know the usual stuff that you send in
2:34:17
along with, you know, an ankle holster all the stuff you need.
2:34:20
So I spent Saturday rebuilding everything from scratch. I mean,
2:34:25
I have all the data I have all of our clips and then my my show
2:34:29
prep and all that stuff. But I had to rebuild the whole playout
2:34:33
system this thing called an Error List. And over the years
2:34:36
I've done a lot of custom configuration. And what I was I
2:34:40
was doing clips and this is from yesterday I was and that's what
2:34:44
I think happened here to make long story even longer. I was
2:34:48
running it through the through the road caster and you know the
2:34:51
road caster just hooks into the window sound system. And now I
2:34:55
understand why you sound so good all of a sudden, is because
2:35:00
Astok somehow it recognizes two of the sound cards in the road
2:35:04
caster, as is like headphone interfaces for Skype or
2:35:10
something like that. And it automatically selects those and
2:35:13
puts all kinds of sound enhancements on it. And it
2:35:18
wasn't until this morning when I'm like I'm clipping like, this
2:35:21
sounds like crap, what is going on here. And then, and I finally
2:35:25
dig into the actual sound sound control panel, which is from
2:35:29
Windows three, that pops up. And you click on these drivers and
2:35:35
in there, it's like, oh, well, you look at that it has all
2:35:37
kinds of sound enhancements pre selected for your convenience.
2:35:41
And I've that probably was always you, you sound so good
2:35:46
today, compared to the years years literally years, because I
2:35:51
figured this one small thing I use I had to dial down your low
2:35:54
end everything it's amazing what this is done now that I figured
2:35:57
it out.
2:35:58
John C Dvorak: Now I gotta go listen to this show. Is that
2:36:00
what you're telling me? So I can hear myself? Please.
2:36:02
Adam Curry: Whatever you do, don't listen to our show. I
2:36:04
mean, that would be horrible. That would just that was doing
2:36:06
the show. I usually don't listen to it. Sad news came across my
2:36:10
desk yesterday. Breaking news to tell you
2:36:12
Unknown: about fitness guru Richard Simmons has died. Just
2:36:17
turned 76 years old yesterday. In a post on X Friday. He said
2:36:21
he received numerous birthday wishes and was responding to
2:36:25
many emails. Simmons was best known for his aerobic exercises
2:36:30
and uplifting spirit he rose to fame in the 70s and 80s and
2:36:34
establish several gyms across the country while starring in
2:36:38
and producing energy fitness videos.
2:36:41
Ah, that's a loss. You know? Well, it
2:36:45
John C Dvorak: makes you wonder about fitness. Have
2:36:47
Adam Curry: you ever met him? No, I
2:36:49
John C Dvorak: haven't you have you?
2:36:50
Adam Curry: Yeah, he did some shifts. It was a time at MTV
2:36:54
when they would always bring in guest V J's, which the regular
2:36:58
VJ is kind of detested. It's like you know Paul Provenza was
2:37:02
there every week Paul prevent on MTV? Not funny. Ever. They tried
2:37:09
to they tried to stay resented. We resented it. Paul prevents a
2:37:14
Judy to nuda and emo like them again. Yeah, so Richard Simmons
2:37:20
did meet emo. He's actually pretty smart.
2:37:24
John C Dvorak: He is exactly the way he portrayed. That's
2:37:28
Adam Curry: not an act of Gilbert Godfrey. There's another
2:37:31
one Gilbert Godfrey was all man. Oh, he's had so many guests,
2:37:36
Vijay shifts. It was annoying because it devalued like oh,
2:37:40
well any douchebag can do this apparently. Which I guess it's
2:37:43
true. But
2:37:44
John C Dvorak: this is a little this is a little inside baseball
2:37:47
here. We're getting a little of the long term simmering
2:37:50
complaint.
2:37:52
Adam Curry: Yeah, and then we get preempted by Monty Python
2:37:55
and Beavis and Butthead. I mean, it was horrible. John, it was a
2:37:57
grind. It was rough. It was tough to be a VJ.
2:38:02
John C Dvorak: Z said good looking hair. Yeah,
2:38:05
Adam Curry: yeah. And another person who passed away
2:38:07
yesterday. Shannon Doherty from Beverly Hills 90210.
2:38:12
John C Dvorak: How old was she? She
2:38:13
Adam Curry: was he was very old now. She was young. I think she
2:38:15
was in her early 50s And she had horrible horrible cancer.
2:38:21
John C Dvorak: So turbo cancer No,
2:38:23
Adam Curry: no, she had she had cancer for quite a while that
2:38:27
Tina met her. She came when Tina was working at the store here.
2:38:30
She would come in and she
2:38:32
John C Dvorak: lived down there.
2:38:34
Adam Curry: I think she had a house around somewhere in hill
2:38:36
country or in Texas. Maybe Houston let alone Hall was a
2:38:42
good store Let me see. I
2:38:48
John C Dvorak: would get to watch stories. No, I'm sorry. I
2:38:51
got a Death Watch story kind of an advanced Death Watch story.
2:38:56
Okay, this play this. This is the Mexico port. So we talked
2:39:00
about China earlier. Let's talk about um, some more. Navy
2:39:03
Unknown: leaders in charge of Mexico's largest shipping port
2:39:06
say they are seeing an increase in unregulated dual use
2:39:09
chemicals. The same chemicals that are used in food and
2:39:13
medicine production can also be used in producing meth and
2:39:16
fentanyl. And other officers say the majority of these chemicals
2:39:20
are coming from communist China
2:39:22
Mexican naval officers say close to 60% of the shipping
2:39:26
containers that enter the country each day come to the
2:39:28
Manzanita port. When the containers arrive. Officers say
2:39:33
only about 2% of the contents are inspected, and total only
2:39:38
about 10% of the ships that dock at the port are physically
2:39:41
searched. They note a full search is conducted if it get
2:39:45
tipped off about illegal cargo. The head of the Port says due to
2:39:50
its location the man's Ennio port is ideal for transporting
2:39:53
cargo to North America, South America and Asia. According to
2:39:58
US Drug Enforcement official tolls. Mexico has long been the
2:40:02
source of most of the fentanyl that comes into the US. Within
2:40:06
the last few years Mexican drug cartels have stepped up exports
2:40:10
of meth to Australia, the Netherlands and China. For the
2:40:14
first time Mexico was listed as one of the world's top producers
2:40:19
of meth. That's according to the UN's office of drugs and crime
2:40:23
report for June. The port commander is raising concerns
2:40:27
about the increase of the dual use chemicals. He says
2:40:31
international cooperation is needed to help regulate the
2:40:35
transport of these chemicals. It's
2:40:38
Adam Curry: amazing you buy a strip of 12 ivermectin from
2:40:41
Mexico and the US Postal Service stops it right away and send you
2:40:45
a nasty note but this no problem.
2:40:49
John C Dvorak: Just send it through. We I take it you tried
2:40:52
this ship in Mexico, many,
2:40:54
Adam Curry: many people have have this at this stop from
2:40:56
Mexico. Yes. In Port kind of and Shipping News. The pier in Gaza
2:41:05
is shutting down tonight
2:41:07
Unknown: this $230 million dollar problem plagued here
2:41:12
built to provide desperately needed aid to Gaza will soon
2:41:16
cease operations built by the US military on President Biden
2:41:20
square. The Pier has been operational only about 20 days
2:41:25
since its completion in May, due to technical issues and rough
2:41:29
seas that the pier could not handle. We were on the pier just
2:41:34
weeks ago, seeing the destruction of Gaza behind me
2:41:37
makes you realize how important humanitarian missions are to get
2:41:41
food into Gaza. But it is also obvious how difficult it is on
2:41:45
this floating pier and you feel it going up and down and you can
2:41:49
hear the clinging as well. Despite the massive price tag
2:41:54
and the forced shutdowns, the Pentagon called it a success
2:41:58
today, with the head of USAA saying enough food has been
2:42:02
delivered to feed 450,000 people for a month. But it is unclear
2:42:09
how much aid actually reached the people after it crossed the
2:42:13
pier. Those Palestinians whose situation grows more dire every
2:42:18
day, the UN saying famine has spread throughout Gaza.
2:42:24
John C Dvorak: So let me get this straight $320 million pier
2:42:29
that doesn't work. And you already floated off how it
2:42:33
floated off already. And this is a considered a success by the
2:42:37
Pentagon.
2:42:39
Adam Curry: It would have been more successful if it had cost
2:42:40
half a billion
2:42:43
Unknown: wasn't believable wasn't enough.
2:42:47
Adam Curry: I'm still watching out for the downturn in AI.
2:42:50
Although I think Darren O'Neil success with his art is a good
2:42:54
indicator. Chad GBT secretly developing a new type of AI
2:43:01
reports Reuters is a broad project strawberry. Yes, the way
2:43:07
strawberry works is a tightly kept secret. Even within open AI
2:43:13
itself. The source reported to Reuters of the project involves
2:43:18
a special way of processing an AI model after it has been pre
2:43:22
trained on extensive data sets. Its aim is to enable artificial
2:43:27
intelligence to not just generate answers to queries, but
2:43:30
to plan ahead sufficiently to conduct so called deep research
2:43:36
by navigating the internet autonomously and reliably. What
2:43:42
could possibly go wrong? Reuters said it had reviewed an internal
2:43:46
open AI document detailing a plan for how the US firm could
2:43:49
deploy strawberry to perform research. Googling basically,
2:43:54
however, the agency said it was not able to establish when the
2:43:57
technology will become available to the public. It's a work in
2:44:00
progress. And that brings me to a boots on the ground you are
2:44:04
curious about the NVIDIA GB 200 Scientific Computing chip. And,
2:44:11
and we have a producer just to give him his give you some
2:44:16
background on him. He's been doing performance optimization
2:44:19
for scientific computer codes for 15 years, worked for an
2:44:23
optimized scientific computing models for Department of Defense
2:44:26
Department of Energy, academia and industry led a team that was
2:44:30
part of the design and delivery of the frontier supercomputer at
2:44:33
Oak Ridge National Lab optimize scientific computer models for
2:44:38
many fields such as weather forecasting, climate modeling,
2:44:42
that's where you that's where you you stumbled on that one,
2:44:45
nuclear physics, acoustics and more, Kenny says listening to
2:44:51
Episode 1673 about the NVIDIA GB 200 Super chip. The clip has
2:44:57
somebody claiming that the new Blackwell chip will be great for
2:45:00
Scientific Computing, especially for CFD, what that was the
2:45:04
website again, the flow, the flow computations, CFD, I
2:45:09
John C Dvorak: forget what it was computerized flow diagram. I
2:45:12
think that's it. Scientific
2:45:13
Adam Curry: Computing still almost exclusively uses Fp 64
2:45:17
double precision floating point for calculations. The Blackwell
2:45:21
chip has Fp 64 performance of 90 teraflops, which is only a 25%
2:45:27
increase over the H 100. GPU. The memory bandwidth of the
2:45:31
Blackwell chip is double that of the h 100, which can have a
2:45:34
large impact on performance or the amount of increase is not
2:45:37
unexpected for new generation of hardware and isn't better than
2:45:40
what Nvidia competitors are offering. Maybe the person that
2:45:43
video was excited about the NVL 72 system. But even that isn't
2:45:48
particularly novel. As someone who's been deeply ingrained and
2:45:51
optimized performance of Scientific Computing codes for
2:45:53
some of the largest and fastest high performance computing
2:45:55
system in the world. I can confidently say that those of us
2:45:58
in high performance computing who actually understand how
2:46:01
hardware impacts application performance are pretty
2:46:04
underwhelmed by the utility of the latest in video products.
2:46:09
What Yeah. Not to mention, I'm intrigued not to mention the
2:46:15
fact that the cost of Nvidia hardware is so high that the
2:46:19
performance per dollar of Nvidia for scientific computing is not
2:46:23
good. Many people still purchase new Nvidia hardware for
2:46:27
scientific computing with us because they have already ported
2:46:30
their models to CU da queued up and don't want to invest the
2:46:34
resources porting the other software to other alternatives.
2:46:37
So according to our our boots on the ground here, not that
2:46:40
impressive.
2:46:43
John C Dvorak: Well, just based on the tone of that note, I have
2:46:47
to probably assume I will assume that he knows what he's talking
2:46:50
about
2:46:51
Adam Curry: short and video.
2:46:54
John C Dvorak: Well, not that not advice, not advice. Don't do
2:46:58
it.
2:46:59
Adam Curry: And then finally, for you, we all know the vortex
2:47:02
law of what is your law about the economy and economic
2:47:09
John C Dvorak: downturns? Yes.
2:47:10
Adam Curry: Can you explain it again? Yes,
2:47:11
John C Dvorak: every when the economy starts to fail, the
2:47:14
hookers get better looking and are cheaper.
2:47:20
Adam Curry: So this article from me see hairdresser in New York.
2:47:32
She says we've all heard that she says strippers are the first
2:47:36
people to know when the economy is getting bad. She doesn't
2:47:39
really complete the model. But she says as a hairstylist, I
2:47:42
have my own theories. There's a new economic theory from hair.
2:47:45
Okay, when girls start going natural or getting more low
2:47:49
lights getting smudge roots that's how we know it's not just
2:47:54
because they don't have enough money for maintenance but they
2:47:56
also don't have enough time to come to the salon and get their
2:47:59
highlights touched up every four weeks because they're working or
2:48:03
they're stressed or busy and she says game on economy is down
2:48:08
because of the hair theory though she
2:48:11
John C Dvorak: says the economy's down
2:48:12
Adam Curry: is going down yes
2:48:14
John C Dvorak: is going down but oh wait that sounds to me as
2:48:16
though she's saying the women are busy and don't have time to
2:48:20
do all this work on their hair so that's the economy should be
2:48:23
going up no
2:48:25
Adam Curry: they're working three jobs that's what they're
2:48:27
working on this on the street corner that's probably what's
2:48:29
happening
2:48:32
John C Dvorak: she needs to bring this she needs to flesh
2:48:35
this out as it were.
2:48:36
Adam Curry: Okay, I'll see if I can give you an update soon.
2:48:39
Unknown: I'm going to show my school by donate to no agenda
2:48:42
Imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah, that'd be fun
2:48:53
Adam Curry: value for value thanks going out to our
2:48:55
supporters who came in $50 and above we will read your notes.
2:48:59
No, we won't read your note unless it's super interesting.
2:49:01
We might read it but definitely name and location and we've got
2:49:05

2:51:29
cool to see.
2:51:31
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's good. Yeah,

2:57:02
Shortly after the first Rogan appearance Rogan donation. My
2:57:05
July 1 donation of $45. sent via PayPal brings me over the

At some point in the troll room today, you might want to go to a
2:59:26
meet up I think you'll enjoy just as much if not even more
2:59:29
because connection is protection. And we heard that at

3:07:37
More detail.
3:07:47
Tonight, breaking news over president and presumptive
3:07:50
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump rushed off the
3:07:53
stage after being shot at a campaign rally in what is now
3:07:58
being called an assassination attempt both being the 45th
3:08:01
president and posting on his drugs, truth social life on this
3:08:05
evening. bullet grazed his right arrow.
3:08:16
Super Sarris wasn't available,
3:08:18
rather chaotic at that point, half the people were looking in
3:08:21
because if
3:08:22
anyone's got to
3:08:27
understand the diversity of this community as unique as the
3:08:33
breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your string. Who is
3:08:39
your favorite
3:08:40
fearless hero? Well, your unique Ted Easterbrook from a taco,
3:08:44
you'd have to go to the doctor and think she was rude to when
3:08:48
he sold in the right mind would reduce you to your immutable
3:08:52
characteristics and see you as their statistics are normal and
3:08:56
class would never be crossed and they would never treat you like
3:09:00
we've been usually a frenzy or ghosts in the dark your brains
3:09:03
put into a tizzy as you start to see something started through
3:09:05
the cognitive dissidence. At least we know we can rely on our
3:09:09
favorite fear lists here we can rely on Old Joe to never say
3:09:14
something racist.
3:09:16
was a bad dude and he ran a bunch of bad boys if you have a
3:09:20
problem figuring out where do your premier from and you ain't
3:09:24
black.
3:09:26
Mr. Shot you can chuck
3:09:27
it sounded like there was six seven shots to start with coming
3:09:30
from behind the bleachers saw the man tilting the head and I
3:09:33
thought he heard another couple rounds I don't like it was
3:09:36
behind me but I belong up
3:09:37
nobody's ever walked off that corner like very
3:09:40
confusing initially. It's like we Kennedy couldn't quite tell
3:09:43
where I was gonna miss
3:09:44
a shot you can chuck what
3:09:46
was going through your mind as you heard gunfire Get
3:09:49
down get down. All you
3:09:51
got to do is make 10 points and
3:09:52
then we heard a different caliber gun. Very confusing
3:09:55
initially I thought it was a firecracker.
3:09:56
Now if we go
3:09:58
through magnetometers your bags so Search. I'm not
3:10:00
shocked that this happened. And then we heard a different
3:10:02
caliber gun
3:10:04
shop shop took a gunshot wound to the head. Everyone
3:10:07
seems very angry.
3:10:08
So do magnetometers your bags are searched what was going
3:10:12
through your mind as you heard gunfire Get
3:10:14
down, get down.
3:10:16
I'm not shocked that this happened. Nobody's ever walked
3:10:18
up that corner line.
3:10:21
What I said was I beg your pardon? What can we do for you?
3:10:28
Nice, David. What are we doing? Look, I wouldn't have picked
3:10:32
Vice President Trump to be vice president. I thought that would
3:10:35
happen. I mean, I my numbers are better Israel than both China,
3:10:41
South Korea and North Korea, Russia. My state and Delaware,
3:10:47
from Wisconsin to North Carolina anyway, in Russia. And in China.
3:10:54
By the way, how accurate Does anybody think the polls are
3:10:58
these days, and by the way, is ready to talk. I'm not ready to
3:11:03
talk to Putin. I'm prepared to talk to any leader who wants to
3:11:06
talk, including Putin call me. I'm determined on running. But I
3:11:13
think it's important that I realize my fears. I see him see
3:11:18
me out there. Let me she's my head. I beg your pardon. What do
3:11:26
you hear from mainstream economists? Are you safer? Is
3:11:30
your family safer? So if I slow down I can't get the job done.
3:11:35
That's a sign that I shouldn't be doing. Or put there's no
3:11:39
indication No. Anything beg your pardon?
