John C Dvorak: There's gonna be
a lot of pink guy. Let's put it
that way. Adam curry,
Unknown: John C. Dvorak.
Adam Curry: Award winning nation
media assassination episode
1678. This
Unknown: is no agenda
Adam Curry: and broadcasting
live from the heart of the
country here and fever. Reason
number six in the morning,
everybody. Madame Curie
John C Dvorak: came from
Northern Silicon Valley where
terreno Fuji is back,
undefeated. I'm Jhansi Dvorak.
Adam Curry: Nailed it. Only only
you could give us some sumo
headlines at the start of a show
on a day like this. Only you
John C Dvorak: could have said
JD Vance. Oh and birded one Oh,
no, no
Adam Curry: wait, breaking
breaking.
Unknown: I feel standby we're
gonna get back to you soon. But
there's some breaking news
emerging right now. CNS Kayla?
Toshi. She's on the scene for
us. Kayla, the president United
States was about to speak but
something has gone on. He's just
got new information. Tell us
about that. Well,
President Biden has just tested
positive for COVID that
according to the president of
Unito, as the leader viewer, oh,
no,
Adam Curry: he tested positive
for COVID. And it gets worse now
that,
Unknown: you know, the President
has received probably at least
five doses of vaccine as a lot
of us and has also had the right
for it. And that has really, you
know, all those elements are
served to increase his immunity.
Plus, he you know, we also have
packs loaded now. And we've
already heard that he's just the
brand. Dr.
Reiner, we're seeing live
pictures of the president
boarding Air Force One right
now. And what jumped out at me
and I'm sure to others as well.
I didn't see him wearing a mask,
as it was. Those other people
have
Adam Curry: no mask. Oh, no.
Breaking breaking. But remember
everybody it's safe and
effective. President
Unknown: Joe Biden slowly making
his way off Air Force One in
Delaware Wednesday night. This
is one of the first images of
the president we've seen since
confirmation came in to be
tested positive for COVID 19.
So I think Biden being second is
a big deal, but I don't think
he's going to suffer any real
consequence. Because it is a
manageable disease. Even in the
older population.
That's Stanford's Dr. Yvonne
Maldonado. Right rest is key for
someone. For COVID, the
President's press secretary says
Biden will self isolate in the
days to come. He did eventually
put a mask on after getting into
his waiting SUV. Biden's medical
team says he has been vaccinated
and has all of his current
annual booster dose. Maldonado
says that is important. That
Adam Curry: is important. He's
had all his booster shots. He's
wearing a mask, you still got
COVID It's unbelievable how safe
and effective it really is.
John C Dvorak: Glad I didn't
make the clip of it. But Gutfeld
had kind of, I don't know,
probably a sketchy joke where he
said, when he announced it on
his show, he says, Well, there's
another shot that didn't work.
Adam Curry: And I and I think
this came right after he
announced that he would only
only only only really give up if
he had some kind of medical
emergency.
John C Dvorak: Yes. And there's
one report that I have from NPR.
The Biden has COVID clip. And
there's a little factoid at the
end of this, which they've left
out of all these other reports
President
Unknown: Biden campaigning in
Nevada left early today. That's
after confirmation from the
President's doctor. The 81 year
old president has tested
positive for COVID. By most of
delivered remarks to Latino
organization conference,
President instead left early to
self isolated his home in
Rehoboth Delaware finds doctor
says the president symptoms are
mild,
mild, mild.
Adam Curry: Yes, no problem. But
I think this is the clip where
they they're trying to get rid
of him. And then I think this is
it. I'm not sure if he says they
only five some medical problems,
Unknown: the pressure from
Democratic leaders, for Biden to
get out of the race is
intensifying. In fact, one
person who has been out there
publicly defending Biden told me
just a short while ago, Biden is
going to see the whole house of
cards come down soon. As for
that meeting with Delaware, I am
told that this was a one on one
meeting just the Senate leader
and the President and the Chuck
Schumer forcefully made the case
for the better for Biden better
for the Democratic Party and
better for the country if he
were to bow out of the race. And
David, when I went to to
Schumer's office to ask them
about to tell them I was to
report this and tell you this
tonight, absolutely no denial
from Senator Schumer's office.
They only said this leader
Schumer conveyed the views of
his caucus. In other words, the
views of democratic senators, I
am also told that Hakeem
Jeffries, the Democratic Leader
of the House, has expressed
similar views directly to the
president at Joe.
Adam Curry: And I mean, showing
my caucus. Let me show you this.
Maybe, maybe, maybe maybe we can
spin this ladies and gentlemen,
maybe we can spin this in a
positive direction Joy read help
us.
Unknown: These two men are both
elderly. Donald Trump is an
elderly man who, for whatever
reason was given nine seconds to
take a iconic photo op during an
active shooter situation. weird
situation. We'll figure that out
one day. But his survival of
that and bouncing right back and
going right to his convention is
being conveyed in the media
world as a sign of strength.
This current President of the
United States is 81 years old,
and has COVID. Should he be fine
in a couple of days? Doesn't
that convey exactly the same
thing? That he's strong enough
older than Trump to have gotten
something that used to really be
valuable to people his age? So
if he does fine out of it and
comes back and is able to do
rallies? Isn't that exactly the
same? It's not exactly the same.
It's not same incident but it's
all it's an elderly man coming
through out of an age should
take
Adam Curry: her off the air.
What an nincompoop. It's exactly
the same yummy shots exactly
John C Dvorak: the same, exactly
the same word
Adam Curry: on the street. I
have from from reliable sources.
Biden will step down tonight.
Tonight Tonight, this is what
I'm hearing. And it kind of goes
along with this news and I
believe this is the the Biden
won't quit until he cyclic
Unknown: the Democratic National
Committee announces its shelving
and effort to make Biden's
nomination official by the end
of July through a virtual roll
call vote. The DNC rules
committee now announcing no
virtual voting will begin before
August one. The move perhaps
intended to buy more time to
convince Biden to drop out of
the race sources telling ABC
News it came at the urging of
the two most powerful Democrats
in Congress, Senate Majority
Leader Chuck Schumer and house
minority leader Hakeem Jeffries
so far Biden resisting all
entreaties to drop out of the
race, but he has had words of
praise for his vice president
Kamala Harris by the way
she's our great Vice President
she can be president united
states
in an interview with b e. T.
Biden did say a doctor's
recommendation could sway him as
a medical condition and emerged
if somebody if the doctors came
to me said you got this problem
that problem? Yeah,
Adam Curry: there's you're out.
Unknown: I don't know. I
John C Dvorak: think I don't
think he wants it out.
Adam Curry: No, but did you see
him going into and getting out
of the plane? That is not
John C Dvorak: good. barely get
up the stairs and it was the
short bed little boys. wasn't a
big deal. roll that out for him
any more than the stairway?
Adam Curry: No. Now I'm just
telling you I heard from
reasonably good inside sources.
John C Dvorak: microdot guys,
Adam Curry: no, close, though.
Here in the hill country? Yes.
The word is you stepping down?
It comes. This comes from Trump
associates. So who knows? Well,
John C Dvorak: tonight would be
timed because Trump gives his
speech tonight. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So they could ruin
the coverage.
John C Dvorak: That's why it
would make logical sense to do
it if you're going to do it at
all. But I don't believe that. I
don't think it's going to
happen. And they keep bringing
up this August 1 thing, one of
the early tweets that was taken
down to after the Trump shooting
was it. Don't worry at Trump's
going to be dead by August 1. I
think that was one of my one of
the newsletters I sent out. We
still had
Adam Curry: that tweet on it. So
we have to wait until August 1.
Is that is that the idea? Well,
John C Dvorak: I think that if
they're planning to try to kill
him again. Man. I'd say that
August 1 is one of the days that
has been set up. So why would
you throw in the towel today
doesn't make sense. Well,
Adam Curry: I mean, clearly he
didn't have to didn't have to
say Oh, I got COVID I'm going
home and that was not necessary.
His symptoms are mild isn't you
know it wasn't wearing a mask.
It's a hoax. It's a reason to
maybe just doesn't like Latinos.
He doesn't
John C Dvorak: like Latinos
because they're turning on him a
pooped. He himself talked about
the schedule he's been on.
Adam Curry: I want to run
through a couple of bad takes
bad assassination takes that,
that cropped up in the media and
hope and some of it was was
thwarted or combated by by the
blue team. We started with by
the blue team that the depth of
the CNN basically CNN. Here's
the X. Axelrod does this or on
CNN, this is Obama's guy. You
know, the reality is that there
are things you can't erase. I
mean, we all remember January 6,
we remember the President's
rhetoric then. Just a few weeks
ago, he retweeted a tweet, which
was Cheney was accused of
treason, and it said read truth
if you want televise military
tribunals, and he did. So I
think the speaker should talk to
the President as well, because
he has, he has done his share to
put us where we are now he
brought it upon himself. But
there's David urban to say, Oh,
David. Yeah, I
Unknown: was just gonna say,
look, there's actually you and I
will disagree on this. There's
no excuse. That's like blaming
the victim a little bit here,
right? Like, so somebody gets
assaulted, you blame the victim,
oh, he shouldn't have been
wearing that that outfit or that
man deserved to be being hit by
a car or whatever. And he's not
saying that. Indirectly is but
you know, you got to condemn
them. Actually gonna condemn it
outright, right. There's no
justification of it. I've
condemned
it from the very beginning for
that, for that, but you
also can't say January 6, is the
reason the President almost got
killed yesterday. Did
I say that? You kind of said the
speaker said we have to lower
our voice. And I'm suggesting
that he should speak to his own
cat. And I
agree, and we should speak to
lots of Democrats, lots of
Republicans, the president
united states at some rhetoric
heated rhetoric.
Adam Curry: Well, let's start
let's do this. Let's start by
not putting words in my mouth.
Okay. Well, I'm not
Unknown: saying sec. I just want
to say January 6, did not cause
what happened. I
Adam Curry: don't think nobody
said I don't think it was saying
that. He did exactly what he's
wire. A lot of people getting
fired from the jobs for saying,
Oh, he missed it. No bad shots.
But my favorite was of course
what happened in Australia. A
Unknown: joke about a missed
shot from an attempted assassins
rifle has brought musical duo
Tenacious D in the crosshairs, I
mean calls for their deportation
from Australia. The controversy
brought down the curtain on the
rest of the tour across
Australia and New Zealand. And
it could mean no more wrong
cause for the comedic raucous
from
tenacious days, Carl gasps This
is not the greatest quote in the
world.
You will miss Trump next.
thing no tributes to his band
bait. The other half of the
comedic rock duo Jeff flag
posted. I was blindsided by what
was said at the show on Sunday,
and I would never condone hate
speech or encourage political
violence with that the rest of
the Dewar's spicy meatball to
was canceled and all creative
plans put on us
Adam Curry: Oh, that was one of
my top three the top the top or
the topper? What had to be Kara
Swisher and Scott Galloway on
the on the pivot podcast?
John C Dvorak: me on this one.
I'm sure this is gonna be a news
to me Get a
Adam Curry: load of this one.
Unknown: Social media is flooded
with misinformation, conspiracy
theories, especially x of
course. And Elon Musk keeps
touting it. He's real media.
Now. He's 80s piece of him
anyway, Elon Musk and some other
tech business leaders, using
your megaphone to criticize the
Secret Service diversity
initiatives and making
unsubstantiated claims about the
shooting just like they did with
that guy who got killed in San
Francisco Wrong. Wrong. He's not
an Tifa. He also formally
endorsed Trump after the
shooting as to Bill Ackman
because they couldn't have the
spotlight away from them. People
on both sides of the political
spectrum are sharing theories.
The false flag claiming the
picture was staged. Yeah,
certainly was fast on his feet.
So there's ridiculous theories
on both sides. The worst on the
right, but I don't know if you
heard that. Right before
Mallanna gave her public
statement. She was heard yelling
into a phone You had one job too
soon.
I like a joke. I like my
favorite joke was from someone
where they said it's let's let's
hope it's not a time traveler
from the future. Who can't shoot
it was something like that
anyway. Oh, no.
The truth is, I mean, the
probably the most likely
conspiracy theory is the
Democratic Party order to hit
but they use TV for it. They use
Timo and Oh,
all right, well, stop with the
jokes.
Adam Curry: It's just like, they
hate so much that they still
have to make jokes. And they and
they didn't they didn't deliver
it. No, that didn't deliver a
single one of them. What I what
I really played this clip for is
Kara Swisher says no, there's
lots of conspiracy theories.
Like was an inside job. I gotta
say he did get up pretty quick.
That picture was pretty iconic.
And I just need to stop and say
something about this. Because
there is a large contingent
quite large, who all believe
this was staged. It was meant to
to get that iconic photo of
Trump and the flag and his fist
pumping in the air. It was too
perfect. Everything was too well
orchestrated. Please don't pay
attention to the dead guy as
irrelevant. But I would just
like to remind people that if
the current of our consulting
group had advise on such a
strategy, we would do it in
October. Not in July. That just
discredits that whole theory.
It's, it's idiotic, wouldn't you
say?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I'd have to
agree with that. I have a couple
of clips that kind of refer to
this. One is first I got a bunch
decision about the nature of the
shooting. Vaughn Gino came up in
here he who is an ex, Secret
Service guy, so and so he has a
lot of contacts. And he was
bitching about it. I guess
you're going to ingest another
investigation by this time by
the House speaker. So they have
about six or seven of these
things going on at the same
time. They're definitely going
to get rid of this woman. I
don't know how they're going to
manage it. But you're gonna have
to give her a golden parachute
or something.
Adam Curry: Oh, you mean, the
Secret Service? Lady Cheadle?
Yeah, I mean, you had some stuff
in the newsletter about her,
which I did not know that Jill
Biden actually was
John C Dvorak: parsing real
Biden harder. Yeah,
Adam Curry: really? How do we
know this? Well, there's
John C Dvorak: an article in The
New York Post. There's an
article in the Daily Mail.
There's an article in Politico,
there's an article in The Hill,
I think there's plenty of
articles that indicate that Joe
Biden did this. So that's how we
know it. All right. But since
you're on the topic of being a
people being abhorrent, which I
thought was funny to hearing
that coming from x, yeah. Right
on Monday with you know, they
canceled the mica and the
morning, Joe Show. Morning, Joe
guy kicked off the air because
they were and then the next day,
of course, more I don't have the
clip, by the way.
Adam Curry: I think we're
responsible, because you called
out the CEO of Comcast. You said
is that guy's fault? And I think
he heard it anyway. Oh,
John C Dvorak: yeah. I doubt if
he heard it, but he should have
been saying, oh, meanwhile, they
let Nicole Wallace do her show.
Yeah. And you and she's worse
than those two. And so I have
some Nicole Wallace's material
that I got three clips here.
They're fairly short. So for the
first one, but here's what
happens. This is the day at you
know, this is the first Monday
when they she comes back on the
air. She wasn't bumped. And here
we go. So
Unknown: Claire and David is 439
in the east and we've memory
hold Mike Pence the whole reason
Donald Trump needs a new VP is
because he called Mike Pence the
P word because he wouldn't be
the final nail in his coffin and
then left him to die, of course
wanted to quote hang Mike Pence.
And
by the way, JD Vance has said he
would not have certified those
electors. Can I show
you what what Jamie Masse was
actually confronted by foxes,
Brett bear, about all the things
JD Vance said about Donald
Trump. Let me tell you that.
Well, you know, Senator, this is
an evolution and I know you've
been asked about this before
about past comments that you've
made about Donald Trump. You've
said I've never I'm a Never
Trump guy. Never liked him.
Terrible candidate. Idiot if you
voted for him might be America's
Hitler. Might be a cynical
aihole cultural heroine noxious,
reprehensible about
Donald Trump. I
didn't think he was gonna be
good president Brett. He
was a great presidents.
I don't know if the flip flop
does make you throw up in your
mouth the you know, sick a fan
he's turned into might. Yeah, I
think flip flopping is baked in
in the Trump era for
Republicans. Sadly, as I
mentioned, that's why they do
the unqualified tag is
important. But I think at the at
the base of what you just raised
about the reason JD Vance is now
needed is because Donald Trump's
former Vice President Mike Pence
has been disenfranchised by
Republicans but most of Donald
Trump's cabinet won't support
the former president either
either. For a fundamental
reason, because Donald Trump did
try to topple democracy with
violence and Mike Pence refused
to do it. And this is important
to the context of what we saw in
Butler. We don't know the
shooters motivations. Let's just
let's say it was political
violence politically motivated.
That shooter almost interrupted
democracy to violence through a
bullet. On January 6, Donald
Trump led an insurrection to
interrupt democracy.
Adam Curry: Yeah, this is this
is the big it's a false
equivalency. What are you doing?
John C Dvorak: The I like this
is that guy jolly a Republican
Congressman Of course. Nicole
Wallace is an ex Republican. She
was, I think, a spokes holder
for Bush. Yeah. And she now says
that she was like a self
loathing Republican she was
feeling bad about.
Adam Curry: I always I always
hated being Republican, but I'm
not a flip flopper. And speaking
about puking in your mouth,
John C Dvorak: Nicole was a good
point. I'm not a flip flopper.
That's nasty.
Adam Curry: That's nasty. But
John C Dvorak: she's, she's
really a pathetic example of
Well, here's a listen to this
clip to
Unknown: Unfortunately, nobody
was killed, but the crowd was
chanting hang Mike Pence and
Donald Trump watched as that
occurred. It is why
a tweet calling him not the P
word. But we know from Ivanka
Trump's assistant that that's
what he was saying in private.
And as I've said that what?
John C Dvorak: He sent out a
tweet, what is not calling him
to pee word. But what was the
tweet? He is always sending out
tweets. So she said, so she
implies the by the way she
presents this, that he sent out
a tweet, but he didn't like Mike
Pence a prick. or pushy or
pushy.
Adam Curry: We don't know. We
don't know because but it's the
P word. It's a P Well, you can't
say the P word. Unless you're
wearing a pink hat.
John C Dvorak: Exactly. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So but just think of
this. He
John C Dvorak: sent out a tweet.
Not calling him with the tweets
that what? What is she talking
about? They're very
Adam Curry: confused at this
moment. They're confused. They
don't know what to do. They're
there. No one's no one's giving
up. There's no call from Jill.
She's trying to you know, keep
Joe afloat that their deal isn't
done yet. You know, she's
managing Schumer. The house, I
get this guy. I gotta make it
happen. Hunters. You know, he's
in the corner. She's just, it's
it's a problem. They got
problems as problems in paradise
here. So nobody knows what to
do. Well,
John C Dvorak: here we go to the
last short clip
Unknown: of Trump where the guy
and the first girlfriend that
was dating him was Mike Pence.
And you say well, you know, I
It's not you. It's him. I mean,
he left you to actually die.
They were chanting hang Mike
Pence. And he said, Yeah, go for
it. Basically.
Adam Curry: It's really
unbelievable. We sit right Wait,
she
John C Dvorak: says she claims
that Trump said there are
chanting hanging Mike Pence. I
don't remember this. I watched
the whole thing too. If he was
watching what I was watching,
which was on C span, there
wasn't much going on. And so
they're chanting according to
her hang Mike Pence, which could
have been just the FBI chanting
it. And then Trump said Go for
it. When was this? Do you
remember this? No. And what
Adam Curry: they had He also
claimed they built a gallows if
there was a small there was no
gallows. There was a guillotine
like a model guillotine that was
outside. You know, someone
brought it in our trailer. Yeah,
this is a great surprise,
surprise. The media sucks. Just
surprise. The media is doing no
good. No
John C Dvorak: deny that but
they're there. i This is where I
want to play this clip. This is
the one I just sent in. Oh, this
is Brian O'Shea. And Brian
O'Shea is married to Naomi Wolf,
Adam Curry: man. Well, yes. And
he's a former
John C Dvorak: Intel guy. Yeah,
yeah. He's a private security
company entail ex Intel ex army.
Green Berets had a hell of a
background. He and She married
him because she he was he was a
bodyguard. Yeah. Bodyguard says
when the marrying the bodyguard,
yes. Yeah. So this guy regular
Whitney Houston. So she wrote a
a substack claiming that Jill
Biden is behind the whole
Adam Curry: No, it was really it
was really cagey. She's like I
don't want I I'm writing to get
sued. But it looks like Jill is
in charge here was an
interesting piece.
John C Dvorak: And that piece by
I would link to that in the
newsletter but I read it after
the fact. And it because it was
interesting. I I tweeted it so
people should follow me the real
Dvorak because I'm not on
Macedon anymore. No. So he has a
couple of new he has one insight
that I've never heard it and
she's claimed it she just goes
on for a while. And she says
it's like breaking news and they
talk about that but they talked
about some other stuff. But this
is the one of the key little
elements in it. interview she
did with him on her, one of her
podcasts and I will say this.
She doesn't. I don't know why
this is so She's always poor.
She is so poorly miked on her
own podcast. Yeah, and everybody
else all the guests are Well,
Mike. Yes, she
Adam Curry: does on the laptop
mic. I have no idea why someone
should shake her about to Hey,
John C Dvorak: instance. I've
never heard a podcast where the
host, the host
Adam Curry: of the worst. I'm
gonna get worse gear. She needs
some gear. We got to help help.
No. Oh, me with a mic.
John C Dvorak: She needs a mic.
Okay. Okay,
Adam Curry: I'll send her a mic.
Alright. So this is Brian
O'Shea. Yeah,
Unknown: Brian, my first
reaction was I, and I'm not
going to judge the Secret
Service's conduct. I will say
that I've heard and I don't
know, I have a lot of Secret
Service friends, or they're
telling me some of those people
in that detail detail. We're
kind of short. And why is that
important? They
were very a lot of them were
like midgets like this. Yeah.
And the thing is, it's so I took
no offense when my friend Gary
would assign me to, for
instance, a former naval
commander, submarine commander,
because submarine commanders are
short, I am about five foot
eight. And so I could, I can
shield him. But there were a few
that were Donald Trump is a tall
man. And I would just think
you'd want people at least his
height. But again, I don't know.
But I also noticed like, there
are a couple of people I noticed
in the crowd that stood out. I
don't know who they were.
There's one guy that just
they're standing. That was
really weird. But I will say
this, when I got the audio of
the when they did their huddle
around him the Secret Service.
There's some things that the
media is censoring right now.
And I think it's because Secret
Service has been pushing
diversity, equity and inclusion
with the goal of having 30%
Women by like, 2030 what I did
here in the audio that has been
censored, they've just cut the
sound for the split second, but
I caught it early. Is you hear
through Donald Trump's mic, one
of the female agents saying what
are we doing? Now as a security
professional, cannot a secret
service guy but I'm really good.
You always know what you're
doing.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, which
brings me to another couple of
points that are interesting that
me now the media obviously bleep
bleep that out. So I've never
heard that I've heard either.
And but I have her I have
Adam Curry: what I what I did
here is I heard on your on your
go. Alright, go. And then they
did nothing goes that just he's
still on the floor. They're
supposed to
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that was
weird. There were two other
censorship issues, though. One
of them was the New York at this
was was a whole segment of the
Goodfellas show and I could have
clipped it, I suppose. But I can
just say it they they are
censoring the photo of Trump
with his fist in the air and the
flag in the background. And
they're taking the flag out
Adam Curry: by request by
requests. I have. Unnamed editor
of quote, major news outlet
wants the media to stop using
the iconic photo of Trump
because it helps Trump.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, so the news
media is deciding not to use a
real photo that hasn't been
altered.
Adam Curry: The whole thing was
set up to get that picture.
Don't you know that this whole
thing is the Inside Job false
flag.
John C Dvorak: Now that you and
I want the other thing that's
been taken out and I do remember
seeing this, and then I don't
haven't seen it since, which is
one of the incompetent Secret
Service guys had a rifle. And
it's I don't think it was one of
the girls. I mean, we do know
about the girl can't holster her
gun. Yeah, that's been played up
on the Twitter and everyplace
else, she can't get it, she got
the gun out and she couldn't put
it back. And this was She held
it out and kept it in our
possession of holding it. But
there's a shot of a guy whose
deeds he did these people are
all confused and this guy's got
this rifle and he had any
actually pointed it at Trump.
Adam Curry: You know, just on
that, on that topic. What
bothered me is so many people
were behind the president
roaming around photographers
like zipping across to the front
and not a single, a single
reaction from any of the law
enforcement or Secret Service.
And maybe maybe we should just
consider that we don't actually
live in in the West Wing
television series, and that in
reality, the presidents are a
lot less safe than than we do.
Unknown: Er leave,
Adam Curry: you know, it's like,
mate. Let me just read this for
a second. Our anonymous lobbyist
checked in with me, and he's in
Milwaukee at the RNC. You
remember the anonymous lobbyist?
John C Dvorak: Oh yeah.
Adam Curry: He says the amount
of security and police presence
in Milwaukee for the RNC is
shocking, actually very
impressive. I work for an
organization who put on a party
for attendees after the
convention last night on
Tuesday. there that basically
says this is one week of
partying from lunchtime till the
morning hours, just outside the
front of our event building are
barriers to stop vehicles from
proceeding into the hard
security zone. There are two
security zones around the forum
soft and hard which span
multiple blocks in all
directions vehicles are allowed
in the hard security zone, but
must pass through a designated
checkpoint where a bomb check on
the vehicle is performed. In
front of our van building was
not a designated vehicle
checkpoint. At the barriers in
front of our van building Secret
Service was stationed in an
unmarked patrol vehicle. And the
building next to our event
building was actually housing
Secret Service officers for the
week of the convention. During
setup of the event, broad sunny
daylight I was in the front of
the building, assisting with
various tasks to prepare for the
party, a man on a moped managed
to speed through the security
barrier into the heart zone
unabated by the barrier, which
was designed to stop cars of
course not mopeds oops. As soon
as the moped got through the
barriers, a Secret Service
Officer popped out of his duty
vehicle. He walks over to me and
says, Did you see the man on the
moped? I said yes. With some
additional trivial comments, the
Secret Service officer says,
Well, I didn't want to kill the
guy, so I let him through. I
mean, in reality, you're just
not as safe as everyone thinks
you are. It's just a fact of
life. You know, Trump is not
necessarily safe tonight at the
event. I mean, anything could be
hidden in the in the, if they
want to get him they'll get him
eventually. Without intervention
of some kind. So we need to stop
dreaming that we live in this
fantasy of Harrison Ford, and
Secret Service and police and
everybody does everything right.
It's just shoot a shot the guy
in the moped, yes, right to the
noggin. I mean, seriously, that
that's the reality of it. We're
living. We're all living in a
fantasy world, you know,
preconditioned by movies and
television. It's just not so
it's hard to do this kind of
protection. It's hard.
John C Dvorak: So let's just do
the damn bungee nose. Take on
some of this bungee. No. All
right,
Adam Curry: everybody get ready.
Remember, code bond Gino for 10%
off.
Unknown: A high level source
reached out to me last night and
said to me that the rooftop that
the shooter engaged from as I
told you last night during the
Tucker Carlson special and anon
Don Jr. Show was actually
supposed to be posted by a local
police department or non secret
service counter sniper team. So
we're clear on the facts. There
were two counter sniper teams
from the Secret Service to those
two were assigned to the scene.
That rooftop was obviously
deemed a threat. It was a line
of sight issue. So because they
didn't have the assets and I'll
get to why in a few minutes. It
involves Dr. Jill Biden, who has
a extremely low threat level
relative to Donald Trump. Now,
this is the breaking news right
for some reason that local
police but this is not about
Monday morning quarterbacking
folks again, this is not a
football game. These are
people's lives. For some reason,
that local tactical counter
sniper team didn't make it to
the roof. What I'm hearing from
sources is that that tactical
team position that through a
second floor window, which seeds
the high ground now I wish I
wasn't breaking this on my show.
The fact that nobody is
comfortable talking to the media
because there's such insider
hacks, they're afraid they're
all going to be exposed and they
all have to come to me candidly,
folks is a travesty. Wait John,
breaking
Adam Curry: news breaking coming
to bed. I love you have a good
trip. All right, honey, I love
you. Tina is leaving for
Indiana. Oh that yeah, sorry.
That was breaking
John C Dvorak: the thing that
pointed that Yeah. Sorry about
that joke. Sorry. The point of
that was why are you know that
Bungie and I agreed with this
and nobody's talking to the
media about this? Because these
guys like
Adam Curry: Sorry, right. Now we
just got the dog barks. It
wasn't me. The dog is barking.
Oh,
John C Dvorak: the the media are
partisan hacks and you can't
talk to him. You get busted. You
get outed. They're just not
trustworthy. So like that's been
Geno's lament Was that why are
they telling me this stuff? I
mean, I'm just a talk show host.
And that's where I thought the
point where that really was.
Unknown: Um, A
Adam Curry: couple of things.
First of all, if we really want
to go back to the genesis of
hurting the President, I'm going
to put that squarely on. Kathy
Griffin. She kicked it all off
with the Trump severed head. And
boy did she pay for it dearly
with her career and with her
health. So I just want to send
John C Dvorak: her a hell so I
get by someone who's gone
downhill Yeah, I
Adam Curry: mean that so I we
don't have to be mad at her but
she did really start this this
Phoebe Be quiet. This, there's
the things that bother me. And
well, okay, let me let me step
back a second. From looking at
all of the videos that people
have sent me all of the personal
videos, people taking all the
rumble stuff, all the Bridey on
stuff, all the cue stuff. I can
safely say we have a lot of
snipers in our country.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I noticed
that
Adam Curry: we got a lot of
snipers. A lot of just go
John C Dvorak: on Twitter, the
number of snipers in the
woodwork. We
Adam Curry: got snot if you need
a sniper just come here and
throw a brick. And you got a
sniper. I mean, it's
unbelievable. This reeks to me
completely of an FBI type
operation which was probably not
supposed to include a gun. And I
say this because of the very
prototypical TV why we got
people working on the bathroom
upset. I say this because the
very prototypical we're gonna
get we're gonna we're gonna jack
you up online, probably while
you're playing a game, which is
now is now known that he posted
some messages on on on Steam
gaming site,
Unknown: baby.
Adam Curry: And we're going to
give you some explosive devices,
I'm going to give you a remote
control. And when we give you
the signal, you press that
button is going to blow up it's
going to be awesome.
John C Dvorak: He did have some
explosive devices in his car and
they found some at the house
Unknown: the butler Township
police were not responsible for
the security of the building,
according tonight, but it's
unclear which local agency was
the Secret Service says it was
outside of their security
perimeter, and was primarily the
responsibility of local law
enforcement. Even though the
rooftop had a vantage point 148
yards from the podium the
AR 15 or variations the M four
has a maximum effective range of
656 yards retired
Secret Service agent rich star
poli also worked for the
Department of Homeland Security
under Trump,
that building was nowhere near
the outer perimeter. There is no
excuse for not having someone
posted on the roof of that
building.
The Secret Service tells ABC
News that no one was put on the
roof because it was dangerously
sloped. That argument called
into question because of images
like these. The Secret Service
did not respond to NBC News's
multiple requests for comment
putting out a statement on X
overnight. We are deeply
grateful to the officers who ran
towards danger to locate the
gunman and to all our local
partners for their unwavering
commitment. 70
It looks like a lot of pieces
may be falling into place.
You're also learning there was
another moment along the way
that the shooter had been
reported as suspicious.
Yeah, last year for officials
tell us that rally goers notice
crooks at the metal detectors,
pacing and acting strangely,
police then notified the Secret
Service. According to a US
official all of this happening
before crooks got on that
rooftop. So
Adam Curry: all of this happened
an hour before. I mean, this has
FBI written all over it. How
many times have they given some
poor sap a remote control? You
press this you blow it up? It'll
be awesome. You know, you'd be
doing something good. The kid
literally post on Steam, like
July 13. I'm making my premiere
and it's gonna be awesome. And
I'm paraphrasing. I don't think
they expected him to have the
gun and he popped off two shots
before it even it's not like he
was an expert assassin. In fact,
according to reports from his
schoolmates, he was a horrible
shock, like laughably bad, and
kicked him out of the gun. Boy,
I
John C Dvorak: never heard a
laughably bad Yes, I
Adam Curry: had laughably, but
laughably bad is the reporting I
have. So and So then, what
really bugs me is that they
start to spin the narrative. And
the first narrative which popped
up a day ago was this naughty
one.
Unknown: Tonight, a new report
that security around Donald
Trump was increased in recent
weeks, because US intelligence
learned of an Iranian plot to
kill him. According to three
officials briefed on the matter,
raising even more questions
about how a 20 year old gunman
in rural Pennsylvania with no
apparent connect To the Iranian
plot was able to get on a
rooftop last Saturday. And
Adam Curry: so not so they try
it. Oh, it was Iran. It was an
Iranian plot everybody. It was
Iran who did this. That's
narrative spin number one, which
of course results in hilarious
gas from the mainstream media.
Listen to this morning.
Unknown: We're learning more
about the increased security
around former President Trump
before Saturday's assassination
attempt. Yeah,
it all comes as US intelligence
directed and Iranian plot. But
Adam Curry: she literally said,
Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Direct in Iranian
plot,
Unknown: yeah, it all comes as
US intelligence directed and
Iranian plot. Truth
Adam Curry: wants to come out.
So that was that was yesterday.
Today, though.
John C Dvorak: This is good one.
Adam Curry: This is the new one.
This is this goes back to he was
a gamer. He was an INCEL. New
Unknown: this morning, a source
tells CNN that the gunman wrote
on the gaming platform steam
apparently before quote, July
30, will be my premiere. Watch
as it unfolds. CNN senior
national security analyst,
former assistant secretary for
the Department of Homeland
Security, Julia Cayambe, is with
us now. So what do you think
about that there was some kind
of cryptic, somewhat cryptic
posting, from the shooter.
Yeah, so he knew what's
interesting about all the
information we're getting out is
now is that he knew that there
was some performative, violent
action that he wanted to do,
right. So there's, because he's
looking at the DNC dates, he's
looking at the Trump dates,
he's, he's sort of searching all
around. He then focuses on a
relatively close event for him
geographically, which is Trump.
So we know that for reasons that
might be you know,
psychological, historical, for
him, cultural, he's isolated, I
keep looking for a moment to get
his headline. What's interesting
is, he doesn't care what the
headline is, I mean, in other
words, his search history now is
showing someone who's sort of
scrambling for an ideology. And
that's what so I think you for
this kind of political
assassination attempt is, we
generally have a mode of
relatively quickly they either
don't like the candidate, right,
so or trying to do something to
impress someone to say, the
Ronald Reagan assassination
attempt. And so I think we're
going to learn a lot more and
what we may learn, John, is that
we can't put a nice bow around
this.
Adam Curry: Yes, you can. Insell
loner, no, no girlfriends,
bullied at school playing video
games, wanted to make a name for
himself had no political motive,
very well done, well done. And
just as stupid and bumbling as,
as the Secret Service, and no
disrespect. I mean, it's just
the fact you know, half of these
people probably don't train
enough in a in a real life
situation. You know, one of our
producers also mailed in, well,
you know, the DEI hire, she's
probably our first real live
event, you know that something
really happened. And maybe, you
know, she was adrenaline's
flowing, couldn't reholster her
weapon. But that's because we
all believe in the movies. So
then we have this other
fantastic, fantastic quote from
The Secret Service Director
Cheatle why no one was stationed
on the roof, which has just
resulted in hilarious memes
Secret
Unknown: Service Director is
saying a decision was made early
on not to place any personnel on
the rope. That building in
particular has a slope roof at
its highest point, she said, and
so you know, there's a safety
factor that would be considered
there that we wouldn't want to
put somebody up on a sloped
roof. It's
Adam Curry: hilarious. The memes
like cows on the roof, you know,
John C Dvorak: that roof is
hardly even sloped. No, it's,
Adam Curry: it's ridiculous. So
everybody's full of crap.
Everybody in the whole veil has
just dropped has been lifted
really? Like oh, oh, it turns
out, you're not really safe.
Give me a break.
John C Dvorak: But you remember
when Trump first got elected in
2016 He didn't trust the Secret
Service and decided to have his
own people. Yes.
Adam Curry: Now it's my
understanding he still has his
own people. It could be but I
don't know which ones my
understanding is he has special
forces which may have been the
military guys who who also see
who pointed
John C Dvorak: the gun at it.
Yeah. See pretty ineffective.
Now I have
Adam Curry: two clips. And by
the way, I just want to say
again, Secret Service they all
did shield him and that does
take a certain amount of who
takes a lot of guts so and you
know I don't want to disparage
people. I just being realistic
about this.
John C Dvorak: You have we have
we have our to shooter new
details. Let's get this out of
the way. Okay,
Unknown: we're learning new
details about the suspected
shooter who tried to assassinate
former US President Donald
Trump, or authority say Thomas
Matthew crooks was scheduled to
work the day of the shooting,
but took the day off. Law
enforcement said crooks first
arouse suspicion three hours
before the shooting at the rally
venue when he pre our security
are carrying a rangefinder. The
binocular type devices are used
by hunters or target shooters to
measure distances when setting
up a long range shot
Adam Curry: as amazing it's
amazing. Hey, what's that rate
arrange a rangefinder. Okay,
carry on.
John C Dvorak: Come on. And the
other only other clip I've got
on this is Butler Police
Department clip.
Adam Curry: Whereas Yes, God is
here. Meanwhile,
Unknown: the butler Police
Department has confirmed its
officers confronted the gunman
on the roof outside the Trump
rally last Saturday shortly
before he fired the former
president coming close to
killing him more from MPRs
Martin Kosti
In a written statement the
butler Township Police
Department says its officers
were assigned traffic duty
outside the rally traffic but
they broke free from that to
respond to a report of a
suspicious mail around a
business called American glass
research. They didn't find him
at first, then one officer
hoisted another to the roof
where the gunman pointed his
rifle at him, causing the
officer to let go and fall. The
statement says the gunman opened
fire quote Moments later, it's
still not clear whether the
Secret Service's Protection Plan
relied on the sheriff's office
state police or other local
officers to safeguard that
rooftop.
Adam Curry: So you know and you
know me as a conspiracy
therapist, I'm looking at
everything. You know that that
weird Q anon guy was in the
audience. He didn't move. He
knew it was coming. Q Q was all
set up is it's all it's all. I
mean, so just for the record, I
completely believe that this
happened. This kid was probably
not even supposed to fire it's
it feels completely like an FBI.
John C Dvorak: Your thesis I
liked the idea that this was an
FBI another one another six
weeks cycle FBI scam
Adam Curry: not meant not meant
to actually harm the president
they
John C Dvorak: have this and the
kid because he was he was so I
guess spun up by the FBI. That
he decided you know, he's going
to freelance instead. They
picked the wrong guy.
Adam Curry: They well he even
said that you got the wrong guy.
He said it on that video. That's
right. You got the wrong guy.
I'm not just gonna detonate some
bombs, which probably as far as
I can tell, we're not detonate
double, or deaths and double,
which would be typical, which
should be very and you haven't
heard Oh, yeah, they had to
detonate him because they were
bombs. No, he didn't. They
didn't blow them up in the in
the detonation unit. Now it's
like is a little unclear about
that. Okay, fine. Then we have
the photo of the bullet. This is
another point of contention.
People saying that, it's,
there's no reason there's no
reason for this shot to have
ever been made. And I'll explain
why as we have Doug Mills from
the New York Times who has been
a photographer of presidents, I
think since forever, forever,
ever. He explains his settings.
And he does say something
interesting here.
Unknown: My name is Doug Mills.
I've been covering politics
since 1983. And I was yesterday
covering President Trump's rally
in Butler, Pennsylvania. I was
taking pictures and that's when
the Pops started happening. And
I just happened to have my
finger on the shutter and I
heard the Pops and just kept
shooting. I didn't know what I
captured. But when I got to my
laptop, I could see that bullet
flying behind his head because
it's definitely not in the
frames right before it. And it's
not an afterwards it's only that
one frame. And I was shooting an
8,000th of a second. It captured
that streak behind him. So
Adam Curry: the so the theory
goes no reason he was shooting
at 1/8000 of a second. He wanted
to get the shot of Trump's head
exploding. I'm not a photography
expert,
John C Dvorak: but a lot of
that's interesting. I haven't
heard that angle. Oh, yeah.
Well, so
Adam Curry: first of all, he
says here like I looked at my
laptop. In an interview on NBC,
which was too boring and too
long. He says he sent it to his
editor and his editor called him
and said hey, you don't you
won't believe what you have. So
there's a little discrepancy in
his story there. But it's my
understanding that if you are
photographing in a very bright
daylight environment and you
want to blur out the background,
you want to have your object
very sharp that 1/8000 of a
second is not completely out of
the out of the range of ideas.
Now you know more about it than
I do.
John C Dvorak: is pretty high
shutter speed. But you can get
some you can get some effects
that you otherwise wouldn't have
by shooting at that speed,
that's a very high speed. I'm,
you know, if he is he's a
professional photographer, he
wants to shoot a lot of shots.
He's probably shooting like a
maniac. I mean,
Adam Curry: like, no more. It's
more. I mean, these things do
spray and pray. That's what you
do. That's why he got That's
John C Dvorak: right, exactly.
There's two kinds of
photographers I've run into over
the years who, because I've had
a lot of photos taken for one
magazine or another. And there's
two kinds of photographers you
run into. The one is the like
you just described, they take
it, they sit you down, and they
will take, I don't know, 200
pictures of you. Yeah. And then
they'll, and then they show you
the proofs and the doll on the
sheet, little bitty pictures.
And then you circled a couple
that you might like, or he'll
say, here's the one I want to
use. And maybe you're allowed to
select it or not depends on the
photographer. Most of the time,
they'd let you pick one that you
don't look at any idiot. And
then there's the other kind and
I had this done for my when I
did the telecommunications book
in the 80s this guy he and this
is the other kind of
photographer and this is the
artist. He shoots an eight by 10
Negative Yeah, on a big giant
camera set you up. Brings a
makeup person in they stand you
there.
Adam Curry: We got to do a
Polaroid first Polaroid.
John C Dvorak: I don't remember
the Polaroid on the hustle. The
hospital for lighting the
hospital blah, you put the
Polaroid back on it first not a
Hasselblad This is an I know a
10 I know I'm just telling you.
Yeah, Hasselblad guys are pretty
close to the same thing. Because
they got a big negative. So the
guy sets up shop and he's got
this big camera, they put you up
there make you up, you're
probably I don't remember the
Polaroid but he probably did
that just to get the lighting to
make sure it looked okay. And
then takes one picture. And it's
perfect. That's a different kind
of photographer. And so you have
the two got two different
styles. But, but shooting one
1000 means you weren't really
trying to get a lot of shots
off. I'm sure this shooting
that, you know, maximum frames
per second blank, blank, blank
blank.
Adam Curry: I mean, there's a
lot of people very suspicious of
this. If that's all you got then
okay, you wanted to get the
exploding head shot of the year,
you know, but I just exploding
John C Dvorak: headshot would
never be you know. So that
doesn't make any sense. They're
not nobody's going to print a
shot of a guy's head exploding.
Adam Curry: So now is the next
part of the theory. Now and this
one I actually wanted to call up
Horowitz. But then I found a
clip. This is the the wealth
fund management that shorted the
d j t stock. Yeah, the day
before the shooting 12 million
shares, which was not really a
short it was a put, which is
technically
John C Dvorak: it's basically a
short E. Okay.
Adam Curry: And Jason Goodman
called and got someone on the
phone. Hello,
Unknown: Alex. Is this
Mr. Wagner? Yes. My name is
Jason Goodman. We don't know
each other. But I was calling to
see if you're aware of this
information that's going around
the internet, about Austin
private wealth, shorting 12
million shares of Trump media
stock is this. Is there anything
to this? There's a lot of
information about your company
going around right now. Right?
I don't think so. It was a
reporting error. So if you go
back and look at that same
baling, you'll see it show that
it was a clerical error in the
violin. Well,
how did that occur? I mean, were
you
trying to short fewer shares
than that? It's how could such
an error like this, it seems
like a remarkable coincidence
for that dramatic of an error to
occur the day before this
historic incident, doesn't it?
So the reporting is generated
June 30. And it was a clerical
error. I do believe we'll be
releasing something to our
website with more detail on a
bid if you go look at the
updated piling up the proper,
proper data in there.
Adam Curry: So that's something
for Horowitz but I'm sure you
can tell.
John C Dvorak: I kind of talked
about it. Yeah. About we talked
about the stock and his response
to the shooting which if
skyrocketed the next day was
that squeezing shorts. Well,
that well it was a put the puts
a really just get wiped out, you
know, it's not like you had to
cover yours, right?
Adam Curry: You don't even get
don't get wiped out a put is is
a is a fraction of the total
share amount correct?
John C Dvorak: Because it's
basically an option is stock
that's borrowed and sold and
it's as an option option, right?
So you lose your option. You
basically it's not like actually
when you actually short you can
lose You're asking
Adam Curry: your house and
everything. Yeah, you can
John C Dvorak: lose a lot of
money if you're short against
run up, I think, panic and you
sell bad you buy Oh,
Adam Curry: they also wrote call
options. I think that a straddle
going.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that would
make sense. But I mean, there's
these operations do that
constantly.
Adam Curry: But the second part
of it is that this awesome
wealth management fund, they
donate a lot of money to Jews.
So you know, I'm just saying
that to do with it, I'm just
saying, I'm just saying it was
all kinds of stuff like that.
So, so people are really going,
sadly, a bit off the rails with
this. Whereas I think the only
explanation I can come to is,
it's almost like Occam's razor.
We've seen this from the FBI,
the remote makes total sense.
John C Dvorak: The FBI
immediately took over the
investigation. Of
Adam Curry: course they did. And
it will, you know, who knows if
this will ever come out, because
typically they do a report and
they say, Well, I'm a
confidential informant person
and, you know, call in I talked
to this kid for two months, and,
you know, that would make
nothing but it has all the
hallmarks everything to make a
big Bloom to make, you know,
make some noise. Now, could that
have been pro Trump may be I
don't know. But there has always
been a conspiracy against Trump,
there is a conspiracy and there
always will be the literal
definition to breathe together.
There is a conspiracy and it's
massive. Its massive, they hate
the guy would they I mean,
John C Dvorak: a large
contingent of the of the of the
government yes of the government
itself hates the guy this is
true. The stock market and
making any friends by making it
by putting JD Vance in there
who's who probably is more
against the administrative state
and Trump himself
Adam Curry: well, the stock
market responded very favorably
to Trump surviving this
assassination.
John C Dvorak: Yes, the death
it's fast it's gone way higher
than I expected it to. I mean,
it's up I think the Dow is at 42
Now it's it should I am stunned
is over 40 is amazing. It's
amazing. It's just Yeah, but But
it's over over heated our
anyway.
Adam Curry: Just for just
because I love George Carlin
wanted to play his 42nd bid on
assassinations, which is always
just fun to listen to We miss
him assassination.
Unknown: You know what's
interesting about assassination?
Well, not only does it change
those popularity polls in a big
fucking hurry. But it's also
interesting to notice who it is
we assassinate you ever notice
who it is not to think of who it
is we kill. It's always people
who've told us to live together
in harmony and try to love one
another. Jesus Gandhi, Lincoln,
John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy,
Martin Luther King, Medgar
Evers, Malcolm X, John Lennon,
they also try to live together
peacefully
in the fucking head
apparently we're not ready for
that.
That's difficult behavior for
us.
Adam Curry: Miss George,
John C Dvorak: we need to wait
that is a good bit
Adam Curry: we need to every
couple of years and I need to
give you massive props. You
called it You nailed it right on
the money. President Trump walks
in on the first day of the
Republican National Convention
with a big bandage on his ear.
You could not have been more
right about this.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, why would
you not do that?
Adam Curry: It was it was I
mean, it was just it was so big
though.
John C Dvorak: There was
criticized for their fact
there's a funny meme going
around I might put it in the
next my pillow says no, the meme
is I don't understand why he's
wearing such a big bandage
what's what's he afraid of? And
then the person saying this The
Meme Meme or has got a big giant
mask on Yeah, I've
Adam Curry: seen COVID mask so
here guys. I'm sorry. I
John C Dvorak: was just gonna
say the this became with some of
the MSNBC and some of these
other I don't know if it's CNN
and MSNBC virtually. They
started bitching about this
bandage. And, and so they had to
get Ronnie Jackson or Jones
whatever's there. JOHNSON I
can't remember his last name.
Jackson, I think who's Trump's
still Trump's doctor? Yes,
Jackson check. He had to put the
giant bandage on because the
nature of the wound is such that
because at the end, that skin is
very susceptible. This is just
really just cartilage. Yeah, it
is. He said Jackson said that if
you touched it just touched it.
It would start bleeding so you
had to protect it with a big
bandage.
Adam Curry: So Trump comes
walking in and this is CNN with
former Fox host, Chris Wallace,
and Jake Tapper, and even they
could not deny the electrifying
moment that it was Chris Winston
Unknown: Churchill famously said
nothing in life is so
exhilarating as to be shot at
without effect. And you can see
that today the idea that just
hours ago, a few days ago, this
man and assassin's bullet
whizzed by him, hit him in the
ear, inches from his temple, and
it'd be just by the slightest
fraction of an inch. He survived
shot without effect. And you can
see the, the joy of this crowd,
I gotta tell you, as somebody
who's been covering these, these
conventions since 1964, that may
have been the most electric
moment I ever saw that was quite
extraordinary. You can do
whether you like the man or not,
that was
well, I mean, this is a crowd
these 10s of 1000s of people who
love Donald Trump, and they,
this, this figure that that
figures so prominently in their
lives,
and it's so interesting tonight,
there has been zero talk about
the Democrats and rhetoric and
political rhetoric and blaming
the media, why that's all been
talked about. Evidence, a
miracle. And I think that's what
most of these people view is
that it is by the grace of God,
that Donald Trump is here
tonight and representing them
going forward. So
Adam Curry: that was kind of
interesting. Trump's first truth
or truth, truth post truth was,
this was God alone who saved me.
And the certainly the first day
of the convention, there was a
lot of God talk two
Unknown: days ago, evil came for
the man we admire and love so
much. I thank God that His hand
was on President Trump. Because
on Saturday, the devil came to
Pennsylvania holding a rifle.
But an American lion got back up
on his feet.
Continuing on the religious
theme and actual man of God paid
tribute to Trump's rhetorical
style, much to the former
president's July,
you're gonna be so blessed.
You're gonna be tired of being
blessed. I guarantee it's
believe me.
Adam Curry: That guy was pretty
funny.
John C Dvorak: Did you see him?
Yeah, you know, the whole
convention has been a tear
jerker, the way they
orchestrated and I have to say
that I have seen a lot of these
conventions. I went to one once
when I was in high school, which
was that where Wallace was, it
was it was it was a long time
ago. Was I think was the last
San Francisco convention
whatever the case was you that
you can get into these things. I
didn't remember ever being
checked for guns or anything but
you get in as you go it this is
the era of the all the signs
used to be on sticks. I noticed
this two things that yes,
convention. Yes, there's no
stick, no sticks. People just
holding different signs up as
though they run the like, card
section of a college football
game where they have these
different cards, they lift this
way, okay, lift up card number
three, and they lift up to one
of the cards and every night is
a different card. Because
they've had this they've made
this convention thematic with a
different theme for every night.
And they preface all the
speeches, all the big, big boy
speeches, with the general
public coming out and giving
their stories, and they're just
heartbreaking. And they just to
make it sound like the country
is falling apart. And it's very
well done. I think this is the
best orchestrated convention
I've ever seen. And so far as
showmanship is concerned, you
can see Trump's the TV
background and you know, he's
talking to Bert Burnett and some
of his buddies to make the
design to sing the way it is.
It's spectacular. The
Adam Curry: last night they had
the Goldstar families 13 of them
who lost kids in Afghanistan
home man they all went up there
and said Joe Biden lied He said
not a single serviceman or woman
lost lost their life on his
watch. He has never said my
child's name out loud and then
they all went you know, they
said the names out loud and the
crowd said their names out loud.
I mean, that was just like an
even CNN I didn't clip all of
that but even CNN was like,
well, that's a political you
know deathblow right there which
it was a lot
John C Dvorak: of it was a I
would say all ever all three
days so far and tonight OB
Trump's night have been like
that. They've been just it's
been. I've never seen anything
so Well done. They
Adam Curry: had the worst speech
I think was Don JR. He's not a
good orator, but he did bring
out his granddaughter. I mean,
Troy's great brought as daughter
Trump's grant and she gave her
grandpa's cool type speech was
fantastic, brilliant move. JD
Vance made some as a huge, huge
mistake. He forgot that this was
being televised. He was talking
to the audience. He was playing
on the crowd. He forgot that he
was being he was on television.
That was
John C Dvorak: a bad and see it
as a faux pas unnecessarily. I
noticed about him was that he
needs his elocution could be
improved. He could have a little
deeper voice and yeah, he sounds
a little thin. But I basically
liked it. But he did. You're
right. And the artists do
different kinds of chants like
Jay Dee's mom's mom was there
that was fantastic. The JDS
mommy they would they would
start chanting different things
they'd make up in the audience
and then JD was merging, ma'am,
ah, grandma and all the rest of
it. I actually watched I thought
I thought he was is no advance.
I wasn't thinking they were
going to pick him. And I thought
it was because of the beard. For
one reason, but everybody's
treated like a
Adam Curry: Mimi likes, Jr. has
a beard. I don't understand why
people say no, I
John C Dvorak: don't know what I
was thinking when I made that
assertion because Eric has a
beard. Did Yeah. He has a beard.
Yeah. They're all bearded. Yeah.
So maybe it's just Trump doing
is, you know, sleight of hand,
but I heard JD Vance. Two days
earlier on the Hannity radio
show. I was driving to the
store. And Hannity was on with
JD Vance. And I had never He is
quick witted. He's fast. He's
sharp. He was holding his more
than holding his own. He was
dominating Sean Hannity on the
radio show. And he was just I'm
listening to him going, oh, boy,
this is news to me. And when I
heard him on the on the radio
just going, you know, just at
the sounding, I would say,
competing with Kellyanne Conway
from talking to Mike. I was
impressed and so I when I heard
I saw I was waiting for this
speech. And it is EQ could have
been maybe it could have been
improved. But you know, they
could have given a little big
bottom. Running through some
some. You mean
Adam Curry: what I give you I
give you a big bottom twice a
week bottom. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: So that I now I
think, Okay, this guy's probably
okay. And he is only 39. And he
and he does. He's definitely a
Trumper. And he's got the same
basic concepts and ideas even
though the Cole Wallace just
calls him a brown noser.
Adam Curry: Well, here's, here's
JD Vance. I think this is the
Ohio senatorial race, where you
know, he's, his feet are held to
the fire. You are never Trumper
you call him an eight hole. But
borderline Nazi, which he did.
And here's JD Vance.
Unknown: You've admitted you've
changed your mind on Donald
Trump. But in the past, you've
said quote, I'm a Never Trump
guy, quote, My God, what an
idiot and, quote, God wants
better of us all statements. You
have either said or tweeted
about Donald Trump at some
point, the question you have 60
seconds, why should Trump voters
Trump supporters? Vote for you?
Yeah, look, I
mean, all of us say stupid
things. And I happen to say
stupid things very publicly. You
know, I've been very public
about the fact that I voted for
the president 2020 that I was
wrong about the president back
in 2015 2016. And that he has
been the greatest president of
my lifetime. For the very simple
reason. There are many, but one
very important reason is that he
revealed the corruption in
Washington DC, I mean, who would
have believed five years ago,
six years ago that the FBI would
actually investigate illegally
get an illegal wiretap on a
sitting US presidential
candidate, we saw that Trump
revealed it. And he revealed in
a way that showed us the sticks
of the fight, which is why I'm
running for this office in the
first place. And one thing I'd
point out is that, you know, I
was I was I was just north of 30
years old, when I said a lot of
those things. Lots changed in my
life. I reengaged. With my
faith. I got baptized three
years ago, I've had three kids
since then, you know, a lot
different. And one of the things
that's different is that I did
change my mind about Donald
Trump. He was a great president.
And I think at the end of the
day, one of the things this race
presents is an opportunity who
actually agrees with Trump on
the core issues of trade of
immigration who's willing to
fight for an America First
foreign policy? I think it's
clearly me.
Adam Curry: Interesting, got
baptized. Yeah, he
John C Dvorak: also did a well,
I know you respond to that. He
also had another interview. I
think maybe it was on Hannity.
He kind of blamed the media for
brainwashing him against Trump.
Oh, I
Adam Curry: wish we had that
one. I
John C Dvorak: wouldn't. I wish
I had it, too. Wouldn't surprise
me. That makes nothing but
sense.
Adam Curry: So A couple other
people showed up. The most
interesting one to me was Amber
Rose. Amber Rose, who has a huge
social media following. I think
mainly for her boobs. And she's
black or mixed race. And so she
came out and by the way, she's
most famous for dating Kanye
West. That's really what oh,
just her. Yes, she
John C Dvorak: did. She was
good. The
Unknown: first person I knew who
supported Donald Trump was my
father. I was shocked. My entire
family is racially diverse. And
I believe the left wing
propaganda that Donald Trump was
a racist. My father said, No,
he's not Amber, what are you
talking about? And when I
insisted, he said, prove it. So
it's approved my father wrong. I
did my research and looked into
all things Donald Trump. People
have to do their research. I
watched all the rallies. And I
started meeting so many of you
his red hat wearing supporters.
I realized Donald Trump and his
supporters don't care if you're
black, white, gay or straight.
It's all love.
It's all my baby.
And that's when it hit me. These
are my people. This is where I
belong.
I let go of my fear of judgment,
of being misunderstood of
getting attacked by the left and
I put the red hat on too.
Adam Curry: So this was this
really shook a lot of people up.
Here's a quick reaction from the
daily blast. People have
Unknown: a right to change their
minds. I think flexibility of
thought is very important. But
right now, this moment, to me
when it comes to Amber Rose is
giving the short line. I've
spoken about the short line a
lot because when you're a person
of color, you're often enticed
with more revenue, more
eyeballs, more of a following if
you do the contrary and point of
view to people like you and from
the people who don't because you
stand out. Exactly. I see. And
that's what it was giving to me
last night.
Adam Curry: She doesn't really
care. Here's Van Jones. He had
his own take,
Unknown: but what I would say is
would you call them in CO aid
coalition. I see it as the
Republicans are trying to eat
our cookies. We've had some
cookies called the black vote
and they're trying to take those
cookies we've had the labor vote
they're trying to take those
cookies. Cookies man cookies
John C Dvorak: that's a good
one.
Adam Curry: Take it our cookies.
Oh no.
John C Dvorak: So another person
similar to their her speech? I
thought that was really got the
audience were devastated Jewish
student from Harvard. Oh, last
night Oh, Mastodon
Adam Curry: went crazy. Dog
these bringing into you to the
bringing into uterus. Literally,
literally, literally. Oh, no.
John C Dvorak: The biggest anti
semitic operation there is.
Adam Curry: It's unbelievable.
You mean the fediverse?
John C Dvorak: The fediverse
Yeah, to federate, versus I call
it Mastodon because it's bested
on
Adam Curry: Yeah. And then you
had the two Americans whose son
is is a hostage and they they
were very unsuccessful at
getting the crowd to do bring
them home.
John C Dvorak: And they didn't
get bring them home started but
it didn't go very far. Now the
Adam Curry: rhythm was all off
was it was not good. One other
observation. Now Mike Johnson
who just has a Cheshire Cheshire
Cat vibe about him? And I don't
like
John C Dvorak: not you Mitch. I
never thought of it. I did
something about his stupid grin.
Not like I didn't recognize now
that you mentioned Cheshire cat
that's exactly what it is. And
Adam Curry: did you see the
hammer? The gavel? No that
things as big as his head. It's
it's the biggest gavel I've ever
seen anywhere.
John C Dvorak: I have a short
clip with by Johnson. Okay. This
is called another investigation
as an NPR clip. House
Unknown: Speaker Mike Johnson is
launching a bipartisan Task
Force to investigate the
attempted assassination of
former President Trump appears
Claudio Gusau supports
congressional briefings are also
being held with officials about
the shooting. Speaker
Johnson told Fox News that
investigators will be able to
move faster than a traditional
committee and have the thority
to force witnesses to testify,
there's not
a lot of the procedural hurdles
and we'll have subpoena
authority for that task force as
well. It'll be compelled to
Republicans and Democrats to get
down to the bottom of this
quickly, so the American people
can get the answers that they
deserve.
Johnson's Task Force is expected
to be part of several
congressional probes that will
look into security failures
posed by the shooting at the
Trump rally in western
Pennsylvania
Adam Curry: now, just to counter
your slight snide remarks,
despite the fact that he's a
believer. I do not like Mike
Johnson. I
John C Dvorak: don't like him
either. I do. I do like the fact
that he's political enough that
he was the one sitting next to
JD Vance's mom, who's 10 years
sober as they like to keep
pointing out. And he was
kibitzing whether Yeah. And it
was it was it was cute to see
because he was, yeah, he's
smart. That way. You know, he's
smart.
Adam Curry: We watched Hillbilly
Elegy I'd never seen it had not
read the book. Impressive story.
And I'm going to presume it's
true. But so many people Oh, no,
he's manufactured. He's
manufactured. Where I came away.
Have you seen the movie or read
the book? No, I
John C Dvorak: have not seen the
movie. I've not read the book.
Adam Curry: I came away from it
thinking Wow, seriously, only in
America. In America, can you go
from from the backwoods of well,
really Kentucky but also Ohio?
You know, what, what people
would call white trash? Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: would say what
he's definitely would be called
white trash,
Adam Curry: you know, and then
go into after 911 Go into the
Marines. And, and then with GI
Bill was able to barely scrape
by in Yale. You know, the whole
story is nice. Firstly, went to
Ohio, Ohio. I'm sorry, the Ohio
State.
John C Dvorak: Where Yes. A
person always says,
Adam Curry: Now is there a
football thing between Wisconsin
and Ohio?
John C Dvorak: No, it was the
football thing is between Ohio
State and Michigan and Michigan
bring it? Yeah. Okay. And it's a
major major hatred between the
two schools. Hey, another
Adam Curry: thing I do like he
owns over $100,000 in Bitcoin go
JD
John C Dvorak: you'd like that
go Jay dad and being baptized
would be your your two things.
Well,
Adam Curry: Guy on that note,
what do you think so Trump said
he has completely rewritten his
speech. He threw it out. He
said, I'm going in a completely
different direction. Besides
Hulk Hogan showing up tonight,
which would be awesome.
John C Dvorak: It couldn't be by
the way Trump could be Miss
directing. He does that
constantly could be. In fact, in
fact, I'd never realized it
until the the Trump
granddaughter came up to 17 year
old and gave that little speech
and talked about him trying to
psych her out on the golf
course. Being kind of an a hole,
which is what sports guys do to
each other. Well, she's
Adam Curry: she's teaching her
she's teaching her to be
competitive. That's what a good
grandpa Papaw does. Don't your a
grandpa, don't mess with your
kid or with your grandkid all
the time. You do the best you
can to get them prepared for
life and you'll be able to
figure out hoaxes
John C Dvorak: that were the
parents won't do any of the good
stuff. No,
Adam Curry: that's why you give
the your grandson now
noisemakers right for his
birthday. Oh,
John C Dvorak: yeah. You want to
always give kiss? Drum Kit is my
favorite gift drum.
Adam Curry: Exactly, exactly. So
I believe Elon Musk may be
speaking tonight. That'll be
interesting. So let's just go
back to JD Vance for a second. I
think he's a good pick. Even
though you are sure was going to
be Marco Rubio, no doubt about
it. Looking
John C Dvorak: back on it,
largely because of the beard
again. i What were you thinking,
man?
Adam Curry: What were you
thinking?
John C Dvorak: I was thinking
that Trump was was you know, you
weren't course I never heard
Trump say this could have been
you heard it. Yeah. Yes,
suckered suckered by the media.
So what else is new? I mean,
this is what they do. And so I
have some JD Vance clips. Oh,
yeah. Let's do that with Misty,
give us a little insight here.
Oh, I only have two actually.
They're both from NPR and this
talking about his techie does
why thing must go be there. This
JD Vance? techie.
Unknown: The Republicans night
two of the GOP convention was a
night of rivals coming together
to back Donald Trump, including
his final primary opponent to
drop out Nikki Haley.
I'll start by making one thing
perfectly clear. Donald Trump
has my strong endorsement
period.
Tonight, Ohio Senator JD Vance
will accept his party's vice
presidential nomination. You
might be
aware of Vance's roots in
Appalachia, thanks to his best
selling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy
is less known or his roots in
the world of Silicon Valley and
venture capital. As NPR is Bobby
Allen reports Vance has close
ties to tech billionaires could
supercharge Trump's reelection
bid supercharge shortly
after JD Vance published his
memoir Hillbilly Elegy in 2016.
Another career began to rise in
San Francisco. He was hired to
work in a venture capital firm
run by Peter Thiel, the co
founder of PayPal, who is one of
the most powerful figures in
Silicon Valley. Here's writer
Max chavkin, who wrote a book on
teal that mentions Vance
Vance worked for teal for a
relatively short amount of time,
less than two years and then
moved to Ohio, where he
continued to invest but clearly
was starting to, you know, think
about his political future.
But before his political life
even started he launched his own
VC fund with backing from Thiel
and other tech heavy hitters
like investor Marc Andreessen.
In other words, he was compiling
a deep pocketed tech roster that
came in handy when he ran for
Senate in Ohio and one with
financial help from Thiel and
other tech investors. And now as
Trump's vice president pic Vance
is tapping his tech billionaire
contacts once again and a
growing group of them are
embracing the mega movement says
author jaskin So
Adam Curry: this is also quite
controversial the to connection
and so the messages I receive
are keys is Intel is is Palantir
T IL is it's no good. This Oh,
no, he's all in with the
intelligence agencies. He
supported by them. He's bringing
in he's a horrible guy. And I'm
thinking my uncle was one of the
highest guys in the CIA. Why are
you listening to me if you think
that way?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I would say
the same thing. i Why is anyone
listening to you?
Adam Curry: Yeah. Really stop.
Now, the
John C Dvorak: other thing about
this read, there's a second clip
and now I actually have a third.
Well, I'm going to play an inner
rate intermediate exam, because
when Trump picked this just a
very short clip is only a couple
seconds. But this is where the
NPR says that they that Trump
named his dick.
Unknown: So Trump named Vance is
pick on Monday, you have been
speaking to Republicans in
Milwaukee, how's he being
received?
Adam Curry: Let me hear that
again.
Unknown: So Trump named Vance's
pick on Monday, you have been
speaking to Republicans in
Milwaukee, how's he been?
Adam Curry: You know, that's
what you want to hear. Maybe? I
don't know. I
John C Dvorak: you know, I
listened to it. I slowed it down
and everything and he definitely
says Pick it pick is what I
heard. But if you dropped the
idea that he says Dick, and you
listen to it, he says dick.
Yeah, yeah. It's the blue dress
dress. Gold. Silver. Yes. I
mean, let's play the second part
of the JD Vance clip. It's
Unknown: tempting to paint us
with a broad brush and say all
of Silicon Valley is getting
behind the former president. But
what's actually happening is
that Silicon Valley's right wing
has been activated and persuaded
to open their pockets.
A new tech align political
action committee called America
PAC was unveiled just after
Trump announced Vance as his
running mate. Elon Musk is
poised to flood the group with
cash venture capitalists Marc
Andreessen and Ben Horowitz,
also planned to contribute on
the duo's podcast on Tuesday,
Horowitz said he wished they
didn't have to pick aside but
the future of our business, the
future of technology, new
technology and the future of
America's literally at stake.
Many big players in Silicon
Valley traditionally sat on the
sidelines for presidential
elections or voted for
Democrats. But now that has
changed. Samuel Hammond is an
economist at the right leaning
Think Tank foundation for
American innovation. He says
many of the new financial
backers of Trump and Vance are
placing big bets on two
industries artificial
intelligence and crypto
pays off depends entirely on the
policy of the US government.
chavkin,
the book author who is also a
reporter at Bloomberg
Businessweek says there is a
fear that AI policy and the
Biden White House will be too
heavy handed.
They perceived, you know, to
some extent, I think correctly,
that Joe Biden less so than
pretty much any president that
they have encountered in their
lifetimes, is not as willing to
accommodate them
newly added to the Republican
Party platform just in time for
the RNC, repealing Biden's AI
executive order that attempts to
provide some modicum of AI
oversight. Oh, I
Adam Curry: can't Well, we'll
talk about AI in a moment
because,
John C Dvorak: uh, you know,
Silicon Valley's mostly
Democrats know
Adam Curry: what not to hold on
a second before Obama. They were
all reading Ayan Rand and they
were all wearing Rolexes and
then they
John C Dvorak: came along and
they all became Democrats and
they became staunch Democrats
that John Doe is always a
Democrat.
Adam Curry: Yeah, he doesn't
count. He doesn't count. Well,
he's VC
John C Dvorak: you know, and
he's getting most of those
Kleiner guys are Democrats,
persons a Democrat, they're all
Democrats, but they
Adam Curry: were all reading
iron Rand and talking all big
Rolexes and fast cars were still
they
John C Dvorak: were still
supporting the Democratic
candidates and they all were
jobs had me to upset his house
yeah, Tim Cook had big, you
know, money gathering operations
and
Adam Curry: other things that
John C Dvorak: Zuckerberg put a
bunch of 400 million bucks or
some ridiculous amount of money
into the in Wisconsin.
Adam Curry: We just put it this
way. Silicon Valley are
globalists, they're not bright
or left really the globalist
whoever has the best globalist
Unknown: path
Adam Curry: they'll take. That's
what they can argue about that.
No, absolutely true. That's
that's what
John C Dvorak: they really are.
They tend to be Democrats in
terms of where they give their
money. I mean, in
Adam Curry: fact, if we just
really think about it, the
Republicans, Republican Party,
the Democrats, it just you get
lower taxes. And that's about
the only thing so far until
Trump came along and he stopped
wars, which is a big problem. So
he's gonna have to deal with
with that without stopping war
business, he's
John C Dvorak: gonna have to
still stopping Wars is not good
for business. Well, unless
Adam Curry: you ramp up China,
which he's always been, he's
always been an anti China guy.
And, you know, we need big
beautiful ships subs that go so
deep deeper than others. Now
that I'm thinking tonight, and
this really hit me because I saw
Tucker did a speech. Why are you
laughing? Why you're laughing?
John C Dvorak: Because Tucker
has been showing up everywhere.
Exactly. He
Adam Curry: shows up the first
night. He's right there.
John C Dvorak: And he was right
there. He was up into in that
booth where Trump was a VIP
Adam Curry: box. Yeah. So so why
is Tucker there? Why I think
Tucker, then he's been hanging
out with Trump a lot. Now he
goes to the UFC fights, there's
Tucker. You know, Tucker is
around Trump a lot in sightless
call it social settings. So I
think he has his ear.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. I was
looking at the damage. And I cut
down the
Adam Curry: background and he
drops. So so just taking him at
his word, which is usually a
mistake, and maybe even some art
of the of war. Perhaps Trump is
going to change the battlefield
tonight. He has said that he
doesn't want to go into this
whole mode about, you know,
whatever he was going to do is
it was he was, he was going to
burn everything down who's going
to, you know, just slash and
burn the Democrats. He says he's
going to change it all up. So
just at face value with Vance,
even Mike Johnson, with his
close call with what everyone is
saying at this convention,
Unknown: Tucker, again, and
again, and again, throughout
history, there are forces within
every society because they
reside in the human heart, that
are against people, they are
dedicated to the destruction of
people and the civilizations
that people built. And if you
pay any attention at all, to
history, you will recognize it.
It's like wait a second, people
are saying exactly the same
things, the climate people, the
AI people, the transhumanist
people, the Biden administration
are seeing exactly the same
kinds of things, the same themes
that every other movement have
this kind of they had a million
different names for them.
Throughout history, we're also
saying, just the first thing, I
noticed, the second thing I
noticed is what do all of these
movements for the past 2000
years have in common? Who do
they hate most? As you can tell,
by what I said about JD Vance, I
think you'll learn very much by
taking a look at who's mad at
whom and about what. So if
there's something that threatens
you pay close attention to what
makes them angriest. But
certainly true in my business,
which is the speech business.
What are they trying to get you
not to say? What are they
punishing you for saying those
are likely to be the truest
things, not the false things.
It's not misinformation, it's
not disinformation, as truth.
That's why you hate it.
Obviously. It's obvious now took
me about 10 years to figure this
out. I'm not a super genius. But
What group do they dislike most?
What group are they absolutely
terrified of, and hoping to
eliminate what's Christians?
That's who it is, as Christians.
And I'm saying this is not a
particularly fervent, lifelong
Christian, I am a Christian. But
I haven't spent my life you
know, surrounded by plumes of
incense deep and prayers went
away from the newsroom saying
the F word. I mean, I'm not sort
of a pious person at all. But I
try to be a notice or since I'm
paid to do that. And the group
that makes them angry as
triggers that most I guess we
would say now is Christians,
Christian nationals and people
pray outside abortion clinics,
people celebrate Easter and not
trans visibility day. These are
the real enemies. But that's
been true in every revolution in
the past 2000 years. It
Adam Curry: was a really it was
an interesting speech, the
Tucker game If, and so I'm
thinking If Trump were to move
this from lawfare to spiritual
warfare, he has a whole
different game going on. And I'm
just saying this from an
analytical point of view because
here's the stories that are
popping up. New York Times this
is this is after Saturday,
Trump's devotees see God's
protection. Christian
nationalism is emerging as an
overt threat to democracy. Los
Angeles Times, pro Trump
Christian extremists use
scripture to justify violent
goals Washington Post, The
Defiant Trump image that made
critics join the cult I mean,
it's, it's everywhere. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: well, this is the
atheists getting a little
Adam Curry: upset well, on cue,
someone who I don't really even
like that much I try to avoid
playing any clips is Josh
Hawley. Now isn't Josh Hawley
also a tech guy?
John C Dvorak: Who I think that
I know of I mean, Josh Holly's
name has come up in the
conversation quite a bit. Well,
here's a look him up while you
are here.
Adam Curry: Here's a clip that
that popped
Unknown: up. Faith leaders are
speaking out on what they say
are the dangers of Christian
nationalism, and its impact on
our democracy and government.
This
is in response to Senator Josh
Holly's words advocating for
Christian nationalism a week
ago, or David M. allottee. is
breaking down the conversation
for us in studio tonight. So
these religious leaders today
tell me their biggest fear is
violence in the aftermath of
Senator Holly's speech where he
advocates for Christian
nationalism, but insists he is
for religious tolerance. I'm
told by the panel of faith
leaders today the issue with
professing advocacy of Christian
nationalism is that the stance
nice religious freedom to Jews,
Muslims, LGBTQ Christians, and
people of color. And
some will say that I'm
advocating Christian
nationalism. And so I do that
extra tough last Monday speech
by Senator Josh Hawley continues
to make waves in our country and
pulled together religious
leaders in Missouri this Monday,
condemning the senior senators
words Christian
nationalism is not compatible
with religious tolerance or
religious freedom, because it's
saying we will have a Christian
nation sorry, Muslim, sorry,
Jews, sorry, atheists, this
nation isn't for you the same
way it's for others at best will
tolerate you being here. But you
don't get the same level of
rights as others. Christianity
is 2 billion people across the
world. It's a very diverse
religion. So when they talk
about a Christian nation, they
really mean a very specific form
of mostly white that mostly
evangelical conservatives,
straight patriarchal
Christianity, that often becomes
white Christian nationalism.
Last week, Senator Hawley said
his focus is keeping the left
from destroying the First
Amendment and religious liberty
our country is built on. It's a
fact of history not open to
debate. It's a fact of history,
that we were founded by
Christian believers and that our
fundamental ideals, including
those in the Constitution, the
Declaration of Independence, and
the Bill of Rights all come to
us from the Christian tradition.
That's just a fact. And I think
it's worth preserving.
Adam Curry: So that man has a
lot of fear,
John C Dvorak: but no, no tech
connection. And I thought, why
don't I think that what is the
opposite? What what is he?
Adam Curry: Where does he come
from?
John C Dvorak: Well, he actually
graduated from Stanford. And he,
I mean, he lives in Missouri,
obviously. And he went up and
he's another Yalie. I could just
like, oh, like Vance, like
advance and you guys run the
country, and what was what
they're up to?
Adam Curry: So what is
interesting is there's that you
said,
John C Dvorak: Holly's been on
this theocratic thing forever. I
didn't know nothing new with
him.
Adam Curry: I didn't know that.
But he but he, he said, I'm a
Christian nationalist, and
everyone freaks out about it.
And then you know, so there's,
oh, it's and then you get all
these so what do we really have?
We have the sparkle clergy which
is you know, God is trans. Then
we have the extreme right nut
jobs. You know, God Hates Fags,
you know, go in a storm storm
abortion clinics? No, I mean,
there's all kinds of crazy
things going on. And then you
have the, what they call like
the remnant church who believes
in the history of America being
you know, the Pilgrims came
literally after, strengthen
their faith in Leiden of all
places, and Amsterdam. And you
know, all of the first
presidents, the con everything
is all based upon upon the word
of God. So Holly's actual
message is something that I
think Trump could actually use.
Unknown: The left's primary
purpose is to attack our
spiritual unity our common
loves. They want to destroy the
affections that link us one to
another, and substitute a set of
all together different ideals.
The left preaches its own
gospel, a creed of
intersectionality of deliverance
from tradition, from family from
biological sex, and of course
from God They regard the faith
of our fathers as a fetter to be
broken. they deem our common
moral inheritance is cause for
repentance. Instead of Christmas
they want pride month instead of
prayer in schools they venerate
the trans flag. Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion are their
watchwords their new Holy
Trinity. And they expect their
preachment to be obeyed. They
may speak of tolerance, but they
practice fundamentalism. Those
who resist are called
deplorable. Those who questioned
are labeled threats to
democracy. And this is why
progressives, I submit to you
have such a little patience
these days for working people.
They're too attached to the old
ways to the old faith of God and
family, home and nation. Now,
this is the left's true
replacement theory, their true
replacement agenda to replace
the Christian ideals on which
this nation was founded, and to
silence those Americans who dare
still stand by them. Boom.
Adam Curry: That's That's what
Trump should do tonight.
John C Dvorak: I don't think
Trump's going to do that. I
don't think that's what he
should do. I think he's just
falling into a trap. If he does,
I think he's going to be mostly
about family in the working
class. All right. That's why he
brought on I think the most of
Adam Curry: the head of the
Teamsters team said, well, they
want they want labor on their
side, they want their cookies.
They
John C Dvorak: want to steal the
cookies. From the Democrats and
cookies. They already had, they
got plenty of religious stuff
going on. They don't need to
Trump doesn't need to pile on
that he's not going to mention
it. But I think it's going to be
about family is going to be
about unity. And it's going to
be about and he's going to slip
a bunch of labor stuff in there
to try to get the working class,
the middle class. And blacks and
Hispanics. He's going to do a
lot of crossover stuff to bring
them in because he knows that
there they can get a lot of
black votes, mostly black men.
And black women still reject
him.
Adam Curry: Keep your eye on
Hulk Hogan tonight to see what
he said he's
John C Dvorak: gonna have Hogan.
Yeah. How to yeah, don't get
what that group that's just
that's kind of
Adam Curry: now you watch you.
I'm going to disagree with you
on this. But
John C Dvorak: yeah, we
disagree. You can disagree. I
don't think he's going to push
that. It's not a good idea.
Adam Curry: I think it's a great
idea that obviously you would
Yes, i You're a religious No,
I'm a Jesus freak, as though.
That's what I am.
John C Dvorak: Is religious
free?
Adam Curry: No, no, no, I'm not.
I'm a Jesus freak, not a
religious freak. Because
different things anyway, just to
move to the AI portion. Because
that's very interesting that
these tech bros, as Kara Swisher
would call them, the tech bros.
Oh, yeah, they want to AI
regulation, you know, we got to
change that. We got to get rid
of it. You can't hamper our
fantastic investment. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: let it the way I
see it. Let that aI think
collapse on its own. Wait, why
should the government get
involved?
Adam Curry: Here's the Goldman
Sachs exchanges podcast about AI
and the investments,
Unknown: the biggest challenge
is that over the next several
years alone, we're going to
spend over a trillion dollars
developing AI, you know, around
the infrastructure, whether it's
datacenter infrastructure,
whether it's utilities,
infrastructure, whether it's the
applications, a trillion
dollars, and that is the issue,
in my mind, what trillion dollar
problem is AI going to solve?
This is different from every
other technology transition that
I've been a part of over the
last 30 years that I've closely
followed the technology
industry, historically, we've
always had a very cheap
solution, replacing a very
expensive solution. Here, you
have a very expensive solution
that's meant to replace low cost
labor. And that doesn't even
make any sense from the jump.
Right? And that's my biggest
concern on AI at this point.
But
isn't technology always
expensive? In its nascent stage,
and then you improve, you
evolve, you iterate and the cost
comes down? Dramatically? Yeah,
not always. Let's take E
commerce and the internet as the
best example of this from the
get go, right? You had a very
cheap technology ecommerce,
replacing a very expensive brick
and mortar retail solution.
Amazon was able to sell books
from the first day that they
started selling books on the
internet, because it was cheaper
to sell over the internet than
it was for Barnes and Noble to
have retail stores. That was
cheaper from the beginning like
so there's a real life example
of arguably the most important
technology development of our
generation e commerce that was
cheaper from day one. Fast
forward 30 years, right. And
it's still cheaper. We still
have a cheaper solution
replacing a more expensive
solution. Take, you know, Uber
replacing limousine services,
right. So you started cheaper
and 30 years later, the internet
is still enabling things to be
cheaper than what the incumbent
solution is. There's nothing
about AI that's cheap today,
right and your star Going from a
very high cost base. So that
part I think there's a lot of
revisionist history on about how
things always start expensive
and get cheaper. Nobody started
with a trillion dollars.
John C Dvorak: You know, he
could have been pushed back
further. When she did. It's
never been more expensive
navigating now, I mean, when the
when the personal computer first
came out those things to put
them together. So there's
actually useful it cost about
$3,500 for a machine. As opposed
to today, you need a Beelink,
which has more power with a
great, great hard drive. Well,
that's your issue. Yeah. So get
us can condition to power, that
would be my advice. Anyway. The
point is, is that it's always
been when that's when the $3,500
machine came out, or even you
could even spend more than that.
It was so much cheaper than a
mini computer. You're a
mainframe everything else in
between. It's, there's no it's
always been cheap. It always
starts off, it starts off
cheaper. That's your original,
so called value proposition.
Jumper. This value is the word
value. And it's always been
cheaper. The fact that it's
going to cost a trillion dollars
to solve a cheap labor problem,
which is like worldwide you get
cheap labor anywhere. Is it is
ridiculous. This guy. I don't
know who that guy was. But he
nailed it. He's from Goldman
Sachs. They know what they're
doing. Yeah. Yeah. They're
shorting where everyone's going
long. They're shorting well,
they're telling everyone else to
go along.
Adam Curry: Well, of course,
that's what you do on CNBC. So
along in that vein, we've really
started something with the
economic indicators. We had the
the hair salons, and I think you
and Horowitz were doing some of
this stuff. Sounded like it. I
got one from one of our
producers who follows Helen or
Troy ah, oh,
John C Dvorak: by the way, these
these are all called coincident
indicators. Is this a known
unknown thing to look out for?
Adam Curry: I like economic
indicators better, but Cohen's
What do you call them?
Coincident
John C Dvorak: indicators,
inquiries, their economic
indicators that just happened to
coincide with some other action
going on someplace else. So if
you can find one that's obscure,
and that really nails it, you
can make a lot of money. Well,
Adam Curry: here's one this is.
So how long are Troy there hair
hair products. Consolidated net
sales declined 12.2% driven by
declining sales of hair
appliances, prestige, haircare
products and humidifiers in
beauty and wellness.
John C Dvorak: Helena Troy
became a produce some earnings
recently they were off Mark.
Yeah. And they became a kind of
a topic of discussion for an
entire day at CNBC.
Adam Curry: Here is I like this
one police officer in Chicago
here. Hello, thank you for your
service. And in Chicago for both
police and fire departments for
the last four to five years as
it has a large quantity of
people passing up the
opportunity to take the job. And
a lot of people in Chicago have
mentioned that the economy's
good is good. And people don't
want to be cops or firemen.
Because money is loosen. There's
plenty of jobs. I am roughly 35
years old, and I have had at
least three people that are
around my age as my advice on
becoming a police officer in
Chicago. One of them works in
finance, finance, but stated its
suit on finance. It's too boom
and bust and the market is
brutal. I'm also noticing a lot
of people in my age group 28 to
35 moving back home with parents
I think we can assume 2020 21
was the generations 2008 But
covered up by COVID. Like has
been discussed on the show. He
feels that when when people
start to look for jobs at police
and fire that that is an
economic indicator of rough
times ahead. Right that's I
think we could have an
interesting thesis. I think we
can have the copy indicator, and
then hop indicator. Yes, the
copy indicator. And then the
most mind boggling segment on
CNBC. All the orange pill boys
are jacked
Unknown: as you know, I was
discusses
Adam Curry: Larry Fink tick
Unknown: I was a proud skeptic.
And I studied it and learned
about it and I came away saying
okay, you know, my opinion five
years was wrong. Here's my
opinion say this is what I
believe in today. I believe the
opportunity today, I believe
bitcoin is legitimate. I'm not
trying to say there's not bet
misuses like everything else.
But it is a legitimate financial
instrument that allows you to
have maybe uncorrelated non
correlated type of returns. I
believe it is an instrument that
you invest in when you're more
frightened, though. It is an
instrument when you believe that
countries are debasing their
currency debase their currency
by excess deficits. And some
countries are I believe we have
countries where you're
frightened of your everyday
existence and they have you an
opportunity to invest in a
something that is outside your
country's you know, control then
you can have more financial
control. And so I'm a major
believer that there is a role
for Bitcoin and in portfolios, I
believe you're going to see that
as an as one of the asset
classes that we all look at. I
look at it as digital gold as I
said before, and I do believe
there's a there's a there's a
real need for everyone to look
at it as as one alternative to I
would say the optimism that I
have in the world and I believe
there's a great industrial use
for it and I think a lot of
people are missing that
industrial
John C Dvorak: use let's see
industrial use
Adam Curry: edge he believes it
I have no idea do believes do
believes it. We've come a long
way from being
John C Dvorak: last guide listen
to Well, I mean, the AI guy and
you know, the black group Black
Rock has got their heads up.
Biden's ask. Yeah, and
Adam Curry: they make no money.
They're very unsuccessful. Oh,
they made
John C Dvorak: plenty of money,
but they're not making money
because of these this off handed
advice that they're giving other
people okay.
Adam Curry: All right. You know,
they have an ETF, right? It's a
very successful Bitcoin ETF. So
they do put their money where
their mouth is.
John C Dvorak: I don't know how
successful that ETF is ETFs are
not a good idea. Okay, because
they naturally degrade it just
naturally. Well, there's a real
there's a real problem with ETFs
because you're shorting
Adam Curry: alright. ETFs No,
good. I can't. I cannot pray
your comment about ETFs. All I
know is they have one. We can
take a break here or we could
get to the other big news which
just it spanned all the networks
for about an hour and then it
disappeared. But man this was a
doozy. Senator Baldwin has left.
What was it? Here it is.
Unknown: Senator Bob Menendez
left Federal Court today a
convicted
criminal and deeply deeply
disappointed by the jury's
decision. The jury finding
him guilty of 16 counts
including bribery, extortion,
and acting as a foreign agent.
I have never violated my public
oath. I have never been anything
but a patriot up my country.
No Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
is joining a group of more than
30 Democrats calling for the
senators resignation.
Prosecutors spent nine weeks
proving Menendez accepted 1000s
of dollars in cash gold bars and
a new Mercedes in exchange for
actions that important benefited
the Egyptian government's
Adam Curry: they had another
clip and they had his music
John C Dvorak: guitar and now I
thought was Egypt. I mean,
governments this was he working
for
Adam Curry: all kinds of
government when there was this
the dead someone had his
nickname here. I think this is
Unknown: a Senator Bob Menendez
is facing calls to resign after
being convicted of corruption
prosecutor said the New Jersey
Democrat abused his power as
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee by doing
favors for Egypt and several
businessmen as part of a scheme
that involved extortion and
bribery. Those bribes included
gold bars a luxury car and
hundreds of 1000s of dollars.
Menendez is vowing to appeal
Adam Curry: somewhere they call
him gold bar Bob which gold gold
bar Bob everybody that but that
guy's I mean, I still think it's
his wife. I think he got really
screwed by his wife. Because
she's the one she's the one that
introduced all the connections
John C Dvorak: a mover and a
shaker that woman and with
Adam Curry: that I'd like to
thank you for your courage say
in the morning to you the man
who put the seeds in the coup
coffin say hello to my friend on
the other end the one and only

up in the air subs in the water
and all the names and nights out
there in
Adam Curry: the morning you
trolls that's interesting. We
are about an almost as a half an
hour late on the troll count.
Last Thursday we had 1873 and
that was after about an hour and
10 minutes today. 2319 at a buck
50 Hello, trolls. Good to have
you here.
John C Dvorak: That's the number
it used to be common. Yeah, but
Adam Curry: it would have been
much higher if I had done it
half an hour ago. So the trolls
are tuning it and they're doing
that at troll room.io Some of
you hopefully more increasingly
are using a modern podcast app.
Support your your independent
podcast app developers. You're
gonna you're gonna be very sorry
pod castles start disappearing
from Apple and Spotify and oh,
it's so easy. Yep. Okay. Go to
podcast.
John C Dvorak: Boom, they're
gone. They're gone.
Unknown: Poof.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's right
podcast apps.com. And, of
course, you get all the cool
features, which includes
artwork. In the chapters, you
get chapters, which are mean,
there's no one really has this
chapter feature. You get
transcripts, you get all kinds
of fun extras that are just not
available. And you get these
modern podcast apps alert us to
the pod pink system, which is a
decentralized notification
system. Blockchain within 90
seconds of us publishing so you
go ahead, you know, the
blockchain, we have a blockchain
is a blockchain. Yes. The pod
ping system runs on a
blockchain. Why? So it's
completely decentralized. No one
owns it. So anybody can ping the
blockchain. It's not a I don't
want to own it. But
John C Dvorak: where's the
blockchain is that you can
Adam Curry: pin it's in the
cloud. The place it's in
blockchain space.
John C Dvorak: You can you can
ping somebody has to be hosting
something. No,
Adam Curry: it's what, like,
hundreds of 1000s of people are
hosting this blockchain. So you
can they all stop? Yeah. Okay.
All right, John. They're not all
going to stop. But if they all
stop, then we have other
problems. So that blockchain has
been around for 50 years, the
net goes down. Yeah. I don't
think you'll be worried about
your podcast. If the net goes
down, you won't be getting your
podcast. And we can say wherever
you don't get your podcasts.
Those images come from our
artists who understand the value
for value system extremely well,
they, they'd like to give us
value back for the value they
received from the show, which is
what we've been doing. It'd be
17 years in October. And instead
of taking corporate you know, as
someone got mad, and said that
your tip of the day, which was I
think it was a book. No, it was
a water filter. Was it a water
filter? Oh,
John C Dvorak: yeah. The Clearly
Filtered Yeah.
Adam Curry: And you said you'll
get it on Amazon and then
immediately, man, that's
insulting. Do you got native
ads? I said, a native ad for an
a water filter three hours and
10 minutes into the show, boy
we're rockin and rollin aren't
we? Now the whole point of being
value for values we can talk
about actual products we like
and that we use? If you
couldn't? You couldn't see idea
we
John C Dvorak: do that all the
time with different computers. I
mentioned
Adam Curry: Beelink Oh, yeah.
Oh, there's
John C Dvorak: paying us off.
Yeah, they can they're losing
money on his computer. I
Adam Curry: mean, people are too
conspiratorial.
John C Dvorak: No it's just guys
like that guy's a dick. No, he's
Adam Curry: not he apologized.
And once I said your I said
quite frankly I find this
insulting I didn't mean it that
way. Okay, well
John C Dvorak: hey, you know now
did you mean it
Adam Curry: people write stuff
they've been I understand how it
works. You know, people some guy
John C Dvorak: wrote a note in
it says I ended I offended John.
He goes on and on and on. And
I'm thinking what? I don't even
know what he's talking about. It
was that the Brahman? No, it
wasn't the Brahman Brahman I
Adam Curry: do offend yeah and
all of India.
John C Dvorak: He did Brahman
deserves a couple of guys he
Lords it over everybody's a
Brahmin. This would be if I
Adam Curry: were you, I wouldn't
go to Bangladesh anytime soon.
I'm
John C Dvorak: not going to
Bangladesh. I won't be there.
Anyway, time,
Adam Curry: talent and treasure
is, is the way that it works.
You can hit somebody in the
mouth, turn them on to the show,
get them to donate call someone
out as a douchebag support us
however, you can't I mean, it's

Oh, this is not good. Now. Now
it's in fact, it's really not

sit down even. Oh,
John C Dvorak: I gotta go should
give him a call. Yeah,
Adam Curry: you know what, he
would really appreciate that.
And he's been he's been with the
show for what? 15 years every 15
At least 15 of our of our 17
came in after Mr. oil that I
know he was there before because
he had the chat. Okay, which is,
you know, the troll room still
is is on his server. He's just,
there's just running for
everybody, which has no agenda
stream, which is you know, where
all the trolls hang out. So yes,
we do have artists who like to
give us art. Some of them donate
to financially, but the artists
just phenomenal for us to be
able to choose. There's a little
slim pickins for us on the last
show. For a number of reasons
we'll get to but firstly want to
thank our Dutch master Dame
Kenny bam. We chose her volume
knob her rhetoric volume knob,
which that
John C Dvorak: was a vet that
was under protest.
Adam Curry: Yes, under protest
do explain
John C Dvorak: was not my
favorite. We've had another I
see it as a best possible
fallback, but you are rejecting
everything.
Adam Curry: Well, here was the
main problem. So we kind of
liked the idea of Trump as Van
Gogh and Scarah manga had
probably the best version of
Trump as Van Gogh, but you
didn't see it because there was
John's favorite boobs front and
center, which
John C Dvorak: of course, that
wasn't the reason the Bucha
Graham Angus boobs? No, there
were two of the Dutch there are
two of them, the Trump and the
in the past year, one of them
you liked which was tenten eels.
And I like Scarem mangas are
right next to each other. And I
like Scarah mangas not because
of the heavy topped a woman
although that was not I didn't
think it hurt that piece by any
means. But the but Scarah manga
did a tremendous job of making
Van Gogh look like Trump he did
and to kneel did not
Adam Curry: agreed. And there
were a number of people who did
Trump era things which we were
kind of against but the Van Gogh
thing was funny, but they had
the wrong year
John C Dvorak: yes, it was one
piece in particular right the
record correct the record
correct the record has the wrong
year and mine how would that
doesn't take any talent?
Adam Curry: Did you see Darren
O'Neal synthesis prompts for the
his artwork
John C Dvorak: yes I saw the
prompts. Darren O'Neal has
decided to issue his own
artistic capabilities in favor
of comic strip bloggers prompt
jockey AI and he sent a sent I
we had did we because of the
show before we demanded that he
sent us send us your prompts. So
he sent a whole a very nice
presentation which is actually
something that could I should
put in the substack column just
as as as is
Adam Curry: was quite quite
amazing how really simple it is.
I mean in that regard and he
only pays 20 bucks a month I'm
sure it's costing somebody money
somewhere personally,
John C Dvorak: you know because
he just the example for that one
piece that he did he the thing
coughed out about 10 pieces at
least and each one of those has
got to cost a number of dollars
apiece to to generate by the AI
Yeah. For 20 bucks a month he's
he's killing it. Yeah. So it's a
moneymaker so so the so the
rhetoric button I felt felt was
usable and you ended up agreeing
Yes,
Adam Curry: I did. The see what
other you know, there were other
ear things but that I think we
both felt like like gummy ears.
Okay.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we didn't
know it was it was that was a
little sick.
Adam Curry: Yeah, we're not
we're not Kara Swisher and Scott
Galloway. What do you think we
are?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we try to
keep the Yeah. Yeah, we're also
not going to do any more for the
fist in the air and the flag
Adam Curry: and we're not gonna
we're not gonna glorify anybody.
No, no, we're
John C Dvorak: not gonna it's
just, you know, it's just just
know, we were talking about
creative. We need creative. Yes,
Adam Curry: creative and
creative means creative. It
comes from your soul. Yeah,
that's why that's why or
John C Dvorak: your training. In
some cases.
Adam Curry: That's why Darren
O'Neal is one of the top of the
leaderboard. He has soul. Even
though he is just a prompt,
Chucky, it's amazing. It's
amazing. Well, we want to thank
all of our artists, of course,
because they provide just a very
valuable service. And that's how
value for value works. We really
appreciate it. Thank you so much
for doing that. And now we go to
the treasure component of our
value for value model, our
executive and Associate
Executive Producers go to no
agenda donations.com to learn
how to support us with your
finances. We do need that
because this is all we have. We
don't you know, reached out to
me, podcast one. Are you
familiar with podcast one?
John C Dvorak: A the name rings
a bell from years ago?
Adam Curry: Well, podcast, one
went public. And they have Adam
Carolla and okay, that group and
they said, hey, yeah, a lot of
our users are telling us we need
to get you guys into our
network. And I reply, and yeah,
they're like, Hey, we provide
money. We got money, we help you
monetize with ads and money. And
I say, well, you're gonna have
to make it extremely attractive
for us to leave our producers
behind. So I don't know if you
if you can
John C Dvorak: provide or do. Of
course not. To grant money is
like, you know, an exit
strategy. I'm looking at their
money is like, you know, 50
bucks. I mean, they most
podcasters that or part of these
networks don't make
Adam Curry: anything. Well,
Corolla is making something
John C Dvorak: is he? Oh yeah,
Adam Curry: he's definitely
making some and he got stock
John C Dvorak: the stock it
probably was useful
Adam Curry: he gots they want to
hear this note. Yeah, let's play
the note, play the note. I can't
play the notes. I can read you
the note. Let me see where it
is. Hi there.
John C Dvorak: That's a good
start. That's the kind of notes
I get on LinkedIn. I'm
Adam Curry: the Development
Coordinator at podcast one a
full service podcast production,
marketing and advertising
network. I want to introduce
myself and personally reach out
as we would love to work with
you on the no agenda podcast.
Our staff has been our staff,
our staff has been submitting
their favorite podcasts and your
shows come up from multiple fans
at our company. Yeah, sure. If
you're open to it, we'd love to
set up a call or grab lunch if
you're in LA. Yeah. Have you
ever listened to our show? To
see if there's an opportunity to
work together or very least make
a formal dinner? No. We limit
the number of shows on our
slate. These are real Hollywood
people jump which has
contributed to the five plus
year longevity of hits like Are
you ready for these hits?
John C Dvorak: I'm ready lady
gang.
Adam Curry: off the vine, a an
ease slate. That's arts and
entertainment network, the Adam
Carolla network, the Kyle Lowry
network and Jordan Harbinger.
Just recently we launched with
Cody Rigsby. Have you heard of
any of these people?
John C Dvorak: No I by Adam
Carolla
Adam Curry: that we support with
revenue generating a top class
sales team across the country
headed by Sue McNamara, who ran
sales for Howard Stern for 20
years. John, think of the
opportunity, I'd rather, I'd
rather be dead. Seriously, I
would rather thank our executive
and Associate Executive
Producers twice a week for
sending us the value that they
get out of the show. That's
really all it is, is just
sending us the value that you
get a show of any amount,
John C Dvorak: whether the thing
is one of the things we we've
worked out on this show is lack
of dependency correct.
Adam Curry: Because you lose one
advertiser because you said
something stupid, and weird. And
then we can't pay the rent?
John C Dvorak: Well, you could
say something stupid and make us
lose to the advertiser to we
bought, at fact, we used to do
in our in our we don't do it so
much as we used to, at the end
of the show, when we do our post
boredom to get the art and do
the rest of it and talk about
the show. Yeah, we used to say,
you know, we would have been
fired for this, this and this we
used and I think we still do it,
we just don't pay as much
attention to it. All the things
we do on this show because we
were not limited by worrying
about the advertisers exam.
We're not limited to what we say
or what we do. We're live we're
only limited by liability
issues. So we and we, and we
keep each other Brander we can't
slander people. We don't do
that. We're responsible
Adam Curry: to each other.
Right, right. Right. Best of
all, remember no meetings.
That's the real reason right
there. We don't want to meet
with the with anyone.
John C Dvorak: You know, lunch
in LA
Adam Curry: what's what's that
big, fast moving consumer goods
group with ie the Dutch group.
What's their name? They do all
the soap stuff. Yeah, what's
their name? They do dove. Cute.

monster company. Yeah.
Adam Curry: The guys at
Unilever, they really would love
to advertise with Doug. But can
you dial back? You know, the DEI
hates because they're really big
on black skin. That's the kind
of stuff we'd have to deal with.
Can you imagine Yes,
John C Dvorak: that's exactly in
fact, what you just said is was
from obviously, extracted from a
meeting you've already had years
ago we were doing
Adam Curry: work and the women

Unknown: formula is this we go
out we hit people in the mouth
John C Dvorak: I would like to
start this off in a lighter
note.
Adam Curry: Okay have a show no
All right.
John C Dvorak: Second half of
show this is the second half of
show oh
Adam Curry: okay but it's not
second half of show material.
John C Dvorak: No Oh okay well
second half a show well you I
mean you confuse all you are
gonna play the jingle nevermind
don't do that. Okay, why don't
you play this jingle ask Adam.
Adam Curry: All right,
everybody. It's ask Adam time
what could be going on?
John C Dvorak: This is actually
to ask Adams. The other. So
let's start with ask Adam puzzle
Q.
Adam Curry: Okay. And people
should know that John sends me
his clips in the morning. I
don't listen to him. We don't
coordinate. This is a this is a
performance that we do together.
So I have no idea what's coming.
And here is my ask Adam. Puzzle
cue cue for question. I presume
one
Unknown: of the world's most
famous puzzles turns 50 this
year.
John C Dvorak: puzzle. A famous
puzzle. Turns 50 famous
Adam Curry: puzzle I have to
come up with something What
could the troll room was already
telling me I don't I don't want
to I don't want to cheat. I
John C Dvorak: have troller Ms.
is helping you cheat.
Adam Curry: I just looked over
and they gave it they gave it
away? I don't I don't appreciate
that troll room.
John C Dvorak: Comes here's your
answer. There
Unknown: has never been a puzzle
like like Rubik's Cube. Wow.
Yes.
The Rubik's cube
that a creator is an 80 year old
Hungarian architect or no Rubik
back in the day, he was a
professor in Budapest fascinated
with geometry, and he created a
prototype in 1974 that took a
month to solve. So
the creator of the Rubik's Cube,
Mr. Rubik himself was stumped by
his own invention very
difficult.
Adam Curry: I would not have
guessed that and in fact, 50
years, and I'm thinking back I
was I 10. When that came out, I
guess so. No, that is crazy.
It's, you know, my, my nephew,
Connor. Connor is from the from
the elite side of the family. He
did his submission to an if it
was the Juilliard that he plays
a classical piece. while solving
the Rubik's Cube is a great,
that's
John C Dvorak: talent.
Adam Curry: I gotta find it.
Yeah, he's from the, from the
Buckley side of the family. Dad
brings
John C Dvorak: in a another ask
Adam Q, which is a bonus. The
second part of this is this one.
Unknown: Now half a century
later, about 500 million Rubik's
Cubes, official versions, and
look alikes have been sold
worldwide and
solving it has become a
competitive sport. The world
cube
Association has
an association for everything.
Yeah, that's what the script
says. I wouldn't know
now. The world cube Association
says the current world record
set last year is just over.
Adam Curry: Okay, how much time?
Yeah, how
John C Dvorak: much time does it
take to solve a Rubik's cube a
Rubik's Cube puzzle? By the
number one guy.
Adam Curry: I've seen some of
these. I'm going to say Oh,
John C Dvorak: this is
astonishing to say seven
seconds. Play the answer heard
set last year is just over three
seconds. Watch it on YouTube.
Unknown: Three seconds must be a
very short video. Wow,
Adam Curry: three know how
John C Dvorak: that's possible.
Except I'll say this. Now our
old spreadsheet guide of a
friend of ours is Eric Mackey.
Yes. Eric Matt, the guy who does
can do a Rubik's Cube in three
seconds sees things differently
than you do. Because he can look
at it and then they say go and
he's got it done in three
seconds. Eric is one of these
guys. He does not the Rubik's
cube so much. But we used to do
this all the time at the table.
You could take one of those
crazy puzzles that have a bunch
of white you know, things hooked
together and some off awkward
way and you're supposed to pull
on you try to get this thing on
ya
Adam Curry: know? Those those
things that curly cube metal
things Yeah,
John C Dvorak: those curly Q
metal things. And I I would say
I would have one it took me like
five minutes to you know,
jerking around getting the thing
to fall apart. Eric and this is
God's truth and and he does this
with other things too. He can
like pack a container.
Adam Curry: Yeah, he's he has
kind of a Rain Man vibe. You can
count things and room and do all
kinds of stuff like
John C Dvorak: he does do I
don't know if he does that. But
he does with the puzzles. He
does the following. Do you put
it in front of him and he looks
at it for about, I don't know,
15 seconds, and then just grab
it and boom, it's all part it
just instant. It's like as soon
as he picks it up as into the 10
pieces that it was designed to
be part of the puzzle, and then
he can put it right back
together. It's unbelievable. And
so I have to assume that Rubik's
Cube guy and I've heard this
from a lot of engineers have
these this capability. Chad
Heath, who did one of the buses
for the IBM PC, he said he
didn't realize that he can, he
can look at a bus. And he can
see immediately why it won't
work. Just by what the pin outs
are. Contracts are going to work
Contrary
Adam Curry: to popular belief.
Eric actually has a family with
three kids. He
John C Dvorak: has three kids,
and they're all a happy camper.
He
Adam Curry: figured it out.
Unknown: As Adam will he know
Oh, really? Well.
I don't know.
Answer the question go.
John C Dvorak: There are people
that have that, you know, that
was good for you, by the way how
you're gonna that would sound of
what? You're kind of one of
these guys. Oh,
Adam Curry: yeah. Oh, yeah,
definitely. Oh, sound big is big
with me. Sound sound. I like
doing so well. Like, let me do a
little light, light to clip in
here. This, this was kind of
fun. Because I saw this story
six days ago. And I think I
might have clipped it, Mike, who
cares? The reason why it was
interesting to me is I built a
website back in the onramp days
before it became think new
ideas. And it was the website
you visit more than once a month
tampax.com. That was the actual
slogan on the website. And so
there was this study that came
out. And I had clipped off like
now that's something I should
probably probably put on the
backburner if we have some time.
And today, a new report comes
out and I'll play the original
report in a moment. Dr.
Unknown: Lauren Stryker, thanks
for being with us again.
Morning. So we're gonna do some
health headlines of the day.
First off, I think we did this
story where they said metal was
detected in tampons. Should
people be worried about this
talk about
okay, this sounds terrifying,
right? So I don't mind this is
nothing to panic about. So
what's this all about? Got a lot
of media last week, basically,
some scientists tested to look
for the presence of metals in
tampons, all kinds of tampons,
every brand organic, inorganic,
and they found that there was
metal on all of them for
arsenic, cadmium, lead. So this
sounds terrible, right. But
there's three reasons that no
one needs to panic. Number one
is there's no evidence that
these metals get outside the
tampon, much less get absorbed
by the body. Number two, we're
talking trace amounts, teeny,
teeny, tiny amounts that are
being like, clinically
significant at all. But number
three is a big one, you're
already getting your daily dose
of arsenic in your kale salad in
your arugula in any fruits or
vegetables that either grow or
in the water, because we have
metals in our water supply in
the ground. So this idea that
you're going to put this tampon
in your body and it's going to
do terrible things to you is not
based in science. This is
clickbait. This is fear
mongering. And in fact, the
people that wrote this article
said, Hey, this is like no big
deal. We just want people to
know this. And let's just talk
about organic for a minute.
Adam Curry: The reason why I
play this is because I happen to
know how these companies
operate. And the choice a young
woman makes between different
menstrual cycle products will
probably determine their usage
for the rest of their life. So
Tampax was really all in on
trying to get young girls as
soon as possible to use their
product. And what this was, was
a bogus as stupid study from the
makers of cup products, which is
now all over social media girls
going oh, look at this. They're
all getting paid for it. So they
put out this fear mongering
report.
Unknown: As you can well imagine
I have a teenage daughter and
I'm thinking about this, you
know, for her as well. And so we
are going to spend a bit of time
talking about alternatives for
people that they can consider if
they are concerned about this.
Okay, well let
me tee you up on that one.
Adam Curry: Let me tee you up.
This is MVC let me tee you up.
Let's read what the script says.
Okay, well,
Unknown: let me take you up on
that. What are what are some of
those alternatives? I think
people know obviously pads are
an option there's
a exactly so there are two
things that were kind of
similarly there are there are
menstrual cups there are
menstrual discs which
essentially sort of
Adam Curry: this was a native ad
of horrible proportion.
Unbelievable scaring people into
thinking this arsenic in your
tank what goes
John C Dvorak: on and the
mainstream media constantly as
suppose it news exactly, the
exactly disgusting Yes. And then
we get called out because I
recommend a water filter. Well,
there's that.
Adam Curry: It's your own fault.
You did it. You brought that on
yourself. Hey, let me tee you
up. John. Let me tee you up. I
need to be teed up. I'm gonna
tee you up with a very short
report from The King's Speech,
which was Prince Charles. And
this is the piece that was sent
to me a
Unknown: bill will be introduced
to progressively increase the
age at which people can buy
cigarettes and impose limits on
the sale and marketing of vapes.
Ministers will also legislate to
restricted advertising of junk
food to children. Along with the
sale of high caffeine energy
drinks, to children, a bill will
be introduced to progressively
Oh,
Adam Curry: sorry. So there you
go. Progressively making it
difficult to get vapes get your
hand on vapes and energy drinks
and junk food. The King is very
obsessed.
John C Dvorak: It's worse than
that. I sent him a bunch of
clips from the King's speech
that were done by NTD. UK, which
I normally don't. Interesting.
Okay, so they have these are
four clips and they stay in the
fourth clip is the kicker. But
let's listen to the basic
introduction just
Adam Curry: like a State of the
Union. What exactly is the
King's speech?
John C Dvorak: The King's Speech
is confirming what the new party
is is up to and agreeing with it
and promoting it and it seems to
me that's what it is. The queen
I think just be the Queen's
speech, but she never got so
involved hit this guy's almost
like wanting to be a governor. I
don't like this guy. Just
Charles. No,
Adam Curry: he's a douche.
Sorry. He's
John C Dvorak: definitely in on
you know all this. This is this.
If you listen to these four
clips, this is Britain turning
socialist. King Charles says I'm
concerned I'm sorry. As far as
I'm concerned. As far as
Unknown: you're concerned, King
Charles has set out the new
government's legislative agenda.
The King's speech delivered
within a ceremony full of
pageantry promises a government
of service focused on reviving
the economy and tackling issues
from an acute housing shortage
to the cost of living crisis.
Jean Charles sat down Prime
Minister Kier, Starmer has
legislative agenda on Wednesday,
promising a government of
service focused on reviving the
economy. Charles told the
gathered peers and MPs. The
Government's program will be
based upon the principles of
security, fairness and
opportunity for all.
Stability will be the
cornerstone of my government's
economic policy. And every
decision will be consistent with
its fiscal rules,
Adam Curry: the package of more
than 35 bills were focused on
growing the economy, performing
planning laws to make it easier
to build homes, speeding up the
delivery of major infrastructure
projects, improving transport
and creating jobs. My
Unknown: ministers will get
Britain building, including
through planning reform, as they
seek to accelerate the delivery
of high quality infrastructure
and housing. They will also
pursue sustainable growth by
encouraging investment in
industry skills and new
technologies.
Adam Curry: Now, do they need
the approval of the king in
order to implement because it
says My ministers
John C Dvorak: because I thought
it was just simply they do
Adam Curry: I thought there was
just a formality is tradition.
John C Dvorak: Well, it's a
formality but turns out
Adam Curry: Yeah, turns out
John C Dvorak: Yeah, so this guy
who is a socialist as far as I'm
concerned, he continues and
we're going to clip to its
Adam Curry: charter home and
also set out plans to gradually
rationalize the passenger rail
network, and set affordable
fares to draw people back on to
train Wait, did he say
nationalize?
John C Dvorak: Yeah
nationalized.
Unknown: This decision would
mostly reverse the privatization
of the railways, conducted in
the 1990s. By the then
Conservative government with
brands
Taken together, these policies
will enhance Britain's position
as a leading industrial nation,
and enable the country to take
advantage of new opportunities
that can promote growth and
wealth creation.
The speech delivered in the
House of Lords by the king with
all the traditional pomp and
pageantry includes many of the
policies championed in Labour's
manifesto
economic growth measures to
modernize the constitution will
be introduced, including House
of Lords reform, to remove the
rights of hereditary
Adam Curry: Wait, let me get me
here that again. This to modern
go back back. includes many of
the policies championed in
Labour's manifesto make great
Unknown: measures to modernize
the constitution will be
introduced, including House of
Lords reform, to remove the
rights of hereditary peers to
sit and vote in the laws.
Adam Curry: Wow, you can kick
doubt that revising the
Constitution and I'm sure they
have an amendment process don't
they? What is the constitution
the Magna Carta?
John C Dvorak: Well no, it's
just whatever it is. I don't
know what it is but they're
going to change it in the House
of Lords guys are done. Yeah,
basically gonna eliminate I
mean, the House of Lords has
always been kind of like what
you know, they just kind of
rubber stamp stuff but they're
fun like they're they're funny
they're funny and they're but
they're not dangerous and needs
to be like kicked out of office.
This is this is really extreme
changes that people are I'm I
think is going to screw up the
country. But I think it's all
part of the socialist agenda and
that he's falling for because
he's all in on climate change
and all these other ideas
useless. Clip three behind
Unknown: me here in Parliament
King Charles set out so kiss Tom
has plans for governments in his
King speech. It contains 40
pieces of proposed legislation.
Some of the key bills announced
include a bill to toughen
spending rules. This seeks to
strengthen the role of the
economic watchdog the office for
budgetary responsibility to
guarantee that major fiscal
decisions are properly
scrutinized. There is a crime
and policing bill which will
include a ban on zombie style
knives. It will also include a
new type of antisocial behavior
order and penalties for
shoplifting labourers landmark
bill to boost workers rights is
referred to as a new deal for
working people. It includes a
ban on zero hour contracts
giving workers rights
immediately on starting a job
and they crack down on the
practice of fire and rehire.
There's a strengthened version
of the renter's reform bill.
This retains a ban on no fault
evictions, and would bring in
measures to boost renters
rights. Then onto planning
infrastructure and energy.
There's a bill to reform
procedures to accelerate house
building across the country. The
government is seeking to re
nationalize nearly all passenger
rail services within five years
a key priority for the Labour
governments and the bill to
establish GB energy a state
owned company which will oversee
investments in decarbonisation
projects such as offshore wind.
Wow, how
Adam Curry: are they going to
pay for this? Inflate the pound?
John C Dvorak: Well, that's an
interesting point. I think you'd
think of that.
Adam Curry: Hey, could be cheap
for us to go visit.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's
already Yeah, but every I mean,
the pound is worth less now.
It's only a buck 20 I mean, I
used to go there was a buck 60
was always 16. Sure, but
everything's overpriced now, so
it doesn't really still a gyp
now. So the last thing is the
kicker, which is this one, and
this is classic, classic
socialist idea that is
incorporated into these 40.
Labor parts of the labor
manifesto. And then you define
things that use a manifesto
term, which fits right in here
we go. Moving on
Unknown: to AI another bill,
which creates binding rules to
govern the development of
artificial intelligence. This
legislation will enhance legal
safeguards with a focus on
general purpose technology that
underlines AI products such as
chess GPT. In regards to border
security, this government plans
to strengthen Britain's borders
by modernizing the asylum and
immigration system modernize in
EU UK Border Security Command
with counter terror powers to
tackle organized crime. Labour's
also resurrecting the previous
government's proposed ban on
anyone born after 2009 Buying
tobacco, and alongside devolving
powers to mess and councils
labor seeking major
constitutional reform to reform
of the House of Lords is on the
table, which would include
removing hereditary peers.
There's also a hint at
potentially lowering the voting
age to 16.
Adam Curry: Wow, they will.
Every country gets the
government she deserves. That's
what y'all voted for. Because
you hated the conservatives
like, let them let those labor
guys in. They've been chomping
at the bit. And yeah, they can
lower
John C Dvorak: the age to 16
that is always a winner of if
you're a socialist,
Adam Curry: they are going to
throw you in irons. And what do
you think those those reforms?
Oh, you won't be able to say
anything. They won't be able to
say anything. So he can't
already can't
John C Dvorak: know they're
already cracked down on social
media in the UK. Wow. It will
get arrested for nothing.
Adam Curry: There's unconfirmed
rumors coming in. The Chinese
president Zhi Jing ping had a
stroke.
Unknown: Who I haven't heard
that.
John C Dvorak: Today's news from
out of China was that they got
rid of a number of people from
the ministry.
Adam Curry: Now could be a
palace coup going on. Who knows?
John C Dvorak: I want to play I
just wanted this back to Biden
for just a second. Why not? I
wanted to play these two clips
from his Lester Holt interview.
Yeah, he
Adam Curry: was pretty angry.
John C Dvorak: He was late. He
was mad and he kept saying look,
look Look, look, look. I mean,
when you hear somebody saying
look as much as Biden does he
this is like, this is defiant.
He's very defiant. But he's also
half brain dead. And I only have
two clips. But the one the first
clip is the good one. But
Unknown: let's talk about the
conversation. This just started
and it's really about language,
what we say out loud and the
consequences of those you called
your opponent and existential
threat. On a call a week ago,
you said it's time to put Trump
in the bullseye for some dispute
about the context. But I think
you appreciate the crosshairs
that's all we focus on. Look,
the truth of the matter is what
I guess I was talking about at
the time was, there was very
little focus on Trump's agenda.
The other term was Bullseye was
the mistake to use or I didn't,
I didn't say crosshairs. I have
a bull's eye net focus on it.
Focus on what he's doing. Focus
on one as far as policies focus
on the number of lies. He told
the debate focus. I mean,
there's there's a whole range of
things that look, I'm not the
guy that said, I want to be a
dictator on day one.
Adam Curry: He didn't say that.
He said it'd be a dictator under
for one day. Lies. Lies if
John C Dvorak: they did Biden is
a liar. But this idea that, you
know, I said crossers? I mean,
bulls. I mean, I mean, focus was
great. So we have part of the
second part is not as
entertaining. But it's funny
too. And I
Unknown: asked him about his
struggle in the debate and the
calls from some Democrats, for
him to step aside. Do you feel
like you've weathered the storm
on this issue of whether you
should be on the ticket or not?
13 million people voted for me
to be the nominee in the
Democratic Party. Okay.
In your last TV interview, you
were asked if you had watched
the debate, and your answer was
I don't think so. No. Have you
since seen it?
I've seen pieces of it. I've not
watched the whole debate.
The President also responding to
news of Donald Trump's new vice
presidential pick, when I asked
you about just shortly before
you and I sat down, former
President Trump named his vice
presidential pick JD Vance, what
does that tell you? His
qualities? What does that tell
you about former President
Trump's values and to him in
terms of who he will surround
himself with in the next
administration? Should he win?
It's not unusual, it's gonna
surround himself with people who
agree completely with him. And
wouldn't recognize supportive
even though if you go back and
listen to the things that JD
Vance Said About Trump.
Adam Curry: You know, I think I
have angrier clips from Joe from
that interview. If if you don't
if you will
John C Dvorak: enjoy. That's
fine. That's all I got as those
two because I thought they were
meaningful, but yeah, well, he
was the clips I should have
gotten. I didn't get but I just
couldn't get a good reason I
didn't get them. These are the
clips from the NCAA speech. I
have one play NCAA, but the
NAACP since I have where he's,
he's good. He's screaming is
yelling is like gone nuts. I
mean, he's goes crazy. He's one
of those crazy speeches where
he's unhinge, but I found two
copies of it. And they were too
echoey. I wasn't going to run
them to either. No, there were
no
Adam Curry: there were no good.
No good. Here's a very, very
short one boat that definitely
my favorite. One of
Unknown: my best friends. When I
was a lifeguard and projects. He
was his name is nickname is
mouse.
Adam Curry: This is when he got
in the tangled. He rumbled with
with corn pop he had his buddy
there in the projects, which was
mouse. Does anybody take this
guy serious?
Unknown: I got some short angry
clips here. When I asked you
about just shortly before you
and I sat down. Former
presidents rep named his Oh, no,
you got that one. You had this
one. Mr. Trump has said he has
given you a chance to redeem
yourself basically the idea of
engaging in another debate.
We're gonna have another debate.
Yeah, you're gonna have one of
September that's on the books.
Would you be open to doing one
in the next few weeks?
I'm going to debate him when we
agreed to debate him in
September.
But if if the opportunity came
up to do and between now and
then is there is a sense of
wanting to get back on their
horse. I'm on a horse.
I was on 22 major events for
1000s of people. A lot of noise
and crowds. A lot happening. I'm
on the horse. What I'm doing is
going out and demonstrating to
an American people that I have
commanded all my faculties that
I don't need notes. I don't need
telephone. I can go out.
Adam Curry: I don't need
calibre. Oh,
Unknown: and I stood there when
when NATO isn't I sit there for
an hour and answer questions.
If you were to have continued
Adam Curry: poor follow up from
Lester Holt. Yeah, that's when
you identified vice president
Kamala Harris as press Isn't
Trump and President Solinsky as
President Putin? Is that what
you're talking about? Mr.
President? No.
John C Dvorak: Hold is a soft
ball.
Adam Curry: He's a soft baller
issues.
Unknown: If you were to have
continued to run and be
officially nominated, what
happens if you have another
episode like we saw during the
episode? What happened? What
happened? What happens if you
have performance on that level?
I don't plan for us.
President, I know he's good to
talk to you. Good to see you.
Thank you for making some time
for us sometimes
come and talk to him about what
we should be talking about. All
right. Okay. The issues.
John C Dvorak: With this, he
talked about the issues. What is
that is bullcrap. Oh, I hope he
stays in. Yeah,
Adam Curry: well, he's quitting
tonight. What he's quitting
tonight. It's over tonight.
Tonight. Oh,
John C Dvorak: well, this is
yeah. microdots. No.
Adam Curry: It's quantum dots.
Okay.
John C Dvorak: Quantum dots is
funnier quantum dots.
Adam Curry: The Olympics are
starting soon in Paris. I for
one, I have a Olympic fever. I'm
very excited. Although I always
find it. Kind of. I gotta admit,
I don't like that. We always
send the Dream Team for
basketball. And I was like, oh,
Lebron James. Okay. Well, at
least we can win in one thing.
John C Dvorak: Always it is. I
think it's a version of cheating
years ago, seen before the
original dream team when they
couldn't you couldn't be pro.
You couldn't be a pro and they
so they had these college kids
and we'd win and we wouldn't
win. And we knew we knew. And
somebody got sick of the fact
that other countries are beating
our college kids. And we said,
okay, these guys as far as we're
concerned, they're bringing in
pros. We're bringing in pros.
Yeah. Oh can make up your mind.
Adam Curry: But I think who's
that that freak the guy who's
seven foot nine that guy?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I always
come. He's open. Yamaha I think
is his name.
Adam Curry: I always call him a
Bama but he'll play for his own
country.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well a lot
of guys do. In fact, one of the
best players in the league is
playing for Serbia.
Adam Curry: Right That guy just
what's his name?
John C Dvorak: It's yeah, I
should have the name of top my
head being a sports ball fan.
But yes, you are
Adam Curry: a fan. Anyway.
John C Dvorak: The part of the
of the deal was no yo KOVITCH
mediocre the Joker. Part of
Adam Curry: the deals would have
flying taxis. Well, we know
that's out the flying taxis not
happening. Surprise surprise.
Which means we won't have people
dying in these death traps.
Trust me, trust me. And they're
supposed to have all kinds of
competitions in the sand.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this is a
classic. This is a good story,
but the sand
Adam Curry: is is basically full
of poop. And poopy. So to to
prove to prove that it's not
poopy. The mayor took a took a
swan dive into the sin.
Unknown: It's the dive into the
sin river that Paris's mayor has
been dreaming about dreaming
show the water is clean.
It's amazing. We work a lot and
very hard for that. Very lucky
and happy day.
Happy because the sin will be
the centerpiece of the Paris
Olympics. In less than two weeks
from now. Opening ceremonies
will be hosted on the river for
the first time. But there had
been concerns about athletes
competing in the water. The
river so polluted swimming in
the sin was banned for more than
a century, with only a third
good reason. Determined to make
it safe again for the Olympics.
cleanup efforts began over nine
years ago, costing one and a
half billion dollars. It
included a giant underground
water storage basin, renovating
sewer lines and treatment
plants. Even with all that water
quality tests last month
indicated more than needed to be
done. We did it we did it we do
visual say the latest water
quality tests show welcomed
improvements and Paris is ready
to let the games begin.
Adam Curry: Why did they have to
do sewage changes? Were they
dumping the poop in the sand?
John C Dvorak: Well the coliform
cast were always failing now
there's a it's possible that
they they could possibly fix it
I went to him I was hanging out
hanging out
Adam Curry: I was hanging out in
John C Dvorak: in Paris in Paris
with a guy
Adam Curry: with a croissant
John C Dvorak: he said I asked
him I said you know what did
this what do you what would you
define definitive French as
being really good at and I was
thinking you know growing
peaches wine there's all these
different things you drink a
basis crap he says the number
one thing that French are great
that is public works rail
designs sewage system to the
sewers of France all the rest of
them and did they do that better
than anybody else in the world
and I've noticed this the first
time I was over there the roads
don't have potholes all over the
place there's
Adam Curry: that move to Paris
than your freak
John C Dvorak: so the so I can I
can see them possibly being able
with their public works kind of
mentality being really good at
it maybe cleaning up the sand
but that's a big project. I
don't know that I think there's
going to be a lot of pinkeye
let's put it that way.
Adam Curry: From there we move
to what we actually we had the
King's speech the queen is under
attack the coal wait
John C Dvorak: before I just
said to stay with the Olympics.
I do have a clip. Oh, yeah, I'm
Adam Curry: gonna Olympics clip.
Okay.
John C Dvorak: I have an Olympus
clip that I think is funny.
Adam Curry: You see All right,
here we go.
Unknown: Paris Olympics will
provide recycled cardboard beds
for athletes. The manufacturer
of the beds said they are so
strong, that's five or six
people can jump on them. The
mattresses of the beds can be
customized to enhance sleep
quality. To
Adam Curry: the to the floor
revealed the recyclable
cardboard beds that will be
helping athletes catch up on
their beauty sleep during the
Summer Games. The beds were
designed by airwave a Japanese
company. Its CEO said cardboard
beds were initially created in
2021 for the Tokyo Olympic
Games. He said the beds for
Paris Olympics were even
stronger. Board beds didn't they
have that? A couple of years
back I remember the
John C Dvorak: previous Olympics
but I didn't know that. And it's
like is that the best you can
do? Sleep well on a futon I
Adam Curry: know the cardboard
beds is my understanding is so
that it discourages sex
John C Dvorak: I never heard
that part of it. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I think that's I
really did you know that there
was a 4chan poll about us.
Unknown: About Us Yeah.
Adam Curry: No agenda guys yay
or nay?
John C Dvorak: We get probably
got 4chan we've probably got I
don't know what we get from I
know Reddit would give us a day.
Well
Adam Curry: listen to this worth
listening to if you have seven
hours a week to kill. I remember
listening to Jhansi Dvorak for
years related to tech. I did not
realize he was involved in
politics. Yeah, they're pretty
good. Although divorce is
increasingly naive for someone
as old as he is who has seen as
much as he has. He's always
giving MFRs the benefit of the
doubt when it's really really
not warranted. He also read
slash Paul, so that's great. I
guess you're in a fourth
chapter. Then. Adam is a retard.
Jhansi Dvorak is the goat. It's
a shame that it's a shame that
tranny made that god awful
keyboard layout and made it his
last name. Wow, 4chan.
John C Dvorak: real accurate.
They're
Adam Curry: fantastic. Anyway,
back to the Queen the queen is
under
Unknown: attack. It was five
years ago that Ursula von der
Leyen squeaked her way into the
chair as head of the European
Commission by just a handful of
votes. Her attempt to get
reelected for a second term is
likely to be just as close. Two
weeks ago EU leaders nominated
von der Leyen despite and
occasionally controversial stint
in charge of the bloc's
executive branch,
I would plain and simply like to
express my gratitude to the
leaders who endorsed my
nomination.
On key dissenting voice, though
is Italy's Prime Minister
Giorgio Maloney
the leadership proposal from the
conservative socialist and
liberal parties was wrong,
partly because there was no
discussion considered regarding
the mandate for these leadership
nominees. In the wake of
European elections, where
citizens clearly asked for a new
direction for the EU.
Do Maloney is not the only
person unhappy with von der
Leyen and head of Thursday's
ballot on whether to confirm her
for another five years in charge
talk has grown about objections
and opposition to her leadership
of the commission. A vital issue
for some is the question of
transparency that was kept on
Wednesday ahead of the boat by
an EU court ruling which
criticized the Commission's
handling of COVID-19 contracts.
More significant, however, are
questions about Ukraine MEPs on
Wednesday, in fact, a motion
reaffirming support for Kyiv at
a time when Europe appears
increasingly divided about the
war with Russia. That comes less
than three weeks after EU
leaders signed a new security
deal with Ukraine. The key
player is Hungary, which
currently holds the EU's
rotating presidency. Hungarian
Prime Minister Viktor Orban has
talked about using the position
for something he calls peace
missions. Those include meetings
with Ukrainian war critics, like
China's President Xi Jinping,
Donald Trump, and a visit to
Moscow.
Adam Curry: And what's the over
under Do you think she'll she'll
stay in? Are they going
John C Dvorak: according to this
morning? She's back. Oh, really?
Yeah, she's in. Ah,
Adam Curry: well, I'm happy
because we need her for the
show. She's good for the show.
She's
John C Dvorak: good for the
show.
Adam Curry: And my last clip
before we will person she is Oh
no, she's the worst. She's never
been elected by the public to
anything. She was a failed
finance minister for Germany.
People discarded her. They
didn't like her and she totally,
totally was all in on the
backroom deals with Pfizer.
Yeah, and everyone knows her
stage. Everyone must be a lot
more Pfizer stooges for her to
stay in. Yeah, good tribe.
Maloney are
John C Dvorak: voices amazing.
Adam Curry: I'm Georgia Maloney.
Texas news, which is also it's
actually it's a it's no agenda
news. It's Texas and California

He plans to move its

explained he decided to make the
move after California's governor
signed into law, a pro LGBTQ

is the final straw because of
this law and the many others
that preceded it attacking both
families and companies. SpaceX

Adam Curry: I think Austin
should block this. They don't
want it we don't want that trash
that x trash.
John C Dvorak: Well, he this is
he has to do this stuff publicly
because the to get out of
California to because he's gonna
get some billions of dollars in
payment. He has to get out of
California, very publicly, and
it can't have any connections to
like, the Twitter offices or
anything because California goes
after you have an exit tax,
right? No, not just extra tax a
claim that you're if you spend
more than so many hours in
California a year, you're
considered a California citizen.
And so the only way to really
extract your so you have to get
everything out. You got to make
it very public. And then you
have to, then they're still
gonna go after you. They're very
into going after people who
leave the states.
Adam Curry: Wow, that's like
leaving the Manson family is
John C Dvorak: exactly the same
as Democrats. I said this, you
know, a number of times I
mentioned it, which the Democrat
party which runs California is
more like a cult than it is like
a party political party. I mean,
so when you quit the cult,
Adam Curry: it's hard is that
while you're still there, you're
afraid of the cult? No,
John C Dvorak: no, I've divorced
myself from the cult. In
1979 1980, and it took this long
to be accepted as some outsider.
I'm not in the call. I don't.
Nobody cares. But I'm telling
you for at least a decade, I was
hounded for not being a
Democrat. I'm

science. For context. This is a

John C Dvorak: Only because your
voice
Adam Curry: is the best. Come
on. We all know it's good. Show
this is what we do every single
show.
Unknown: JC That's
Adam Curry: right, everybody. It
is a tip from John C. Dvorak as
we lead you into your weekend.
Well, almost weekend. John, what
kind of tip do you have for us
today,
John C Dvorak: I have a food
tip, a food tip.
Adam Curry: We love our food.
John C Dvorak: And the only
reason I'm going to bring this
tip up is because every time I
go to the store that is the
situation that occurs and I
always have to I have actually
discussed this with shop fellow
shoppers at the grocery store
and ocean whose and very few
people seem to know this simple
fact. Which is that pineapples
are not bananas and they don't
ripen after they're picked. They
stay frozen in time as to the
ripeness when you buy a
pineapple, and for some reason,
almost nobody knows this. So how
do you always think of
everything is a banana or even
all kinds of things ripe and
after you're picking but not
pineapples. So pineapples you
want to
Adam Curry: if you go if you go
before me, that'll that's that's
going to be I'm going to put
that in my eulogy John taught me
people think everything's a
banana. And that's just not true
people.
John C Dvorak: So pie when you
buy a pineapple, you want to get
one that is gold colored not
green, but gold colored because
it is by a green when this all
greenish is not going to go
anywhere. It's going to be sour
and kind of like not as sweet as
it should be. So the things
should be solid gold colored.
You don't find me very often but
when you do, they stand out like
a sore thumb. And that's the one
you buy a gold pineapple. And
when you cut one of those babies
open, they're super sweet. The
core is edible. It's
unbelievable how good that
pineapple is when it's ripe, but
it will not ripen.
Unknown: Good news, it's good
advice. John
says
Adam Curry: everybody is going
to be valuable tip of the day. I
hit my own tip here, tips too
long. And that will conclude our
broadcast day live from Northern
Silicon Valley and the Texas
Hill Country. Fred. No calls
here. No calls here. Before we
leave, though, we do have a
couple of end of show mixes

mixes. The of the song, the song

much. It takes a lot of effort.
Nostradamus did that for us and
also click custodian Neal Jones.
These are evergreen, so we'd
love rolling them out for you.
