John C Dvorak: hide. That's what
I'm thinking. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Now he's busy. He's
busy doing stuff. Um, we're
small potatoes, face it. small
potatoes or nothing. Okay, if
all the things that we have on
our plate today, I think we're
just gonna have to stick on one
thing. And one. I mean, I'm just
going to keep hammering this
until
John C Dvorak: you you attack
Shula the whole time No, I don't
think so. Is it boring?
Adam Curry: Oh, come on. Oh,
please. Oh, no, I think that
there is something horrible
happening in the United States.
That is is obvious is not being
discussed. And I think it's I
know it's done for political
reasons, but I think it's wrong.
Because who is this Daddy Long
Legs pretending to be our
president? Stop it we have no
one in charge. This
John C Dvorak: is hilarious. I
agree with this guy
Adam Curry: is not Joe Biden.
It's obvious. I don't know why
him run
John C Dvorak: it. You know,
they put up the big boy steps on
the Air Force One and he
basically ran up them. Yeah. And
then
Adam Curry: he had to duck to
get in. Yeah, this guy has to
get it and you see you see real
Joe Biden or whatever. Standing
next to Jill. You know, he's she
comes up a little bit above his
shoulders. And then this guy
we're just gonna call daddy long
legs. He's he's like he's and
John C Dvorak: by the way, I
think the moniker is good,
because the thing that's most
notable, but he has really long
legs. And
Adam Curry: you know, so I'm
talking to Tina about this. And
so first of all, is it The is
that you know, Joe was is not
doing well, health wise by the
way someone sent in an
interesting note saying those
bruises on his face probably
from a hospital CPAP mask.
John C Dvorak: You know, the
funny world does it go that
high? The funny thing is once
you pointed that out to me,
yeah, I can't watch that. No,
not see it. And I also see the
sight of is, besides that bruise
that you're talking about up and
down on his forehead? Which CPAP
I don't think
Adam Curry: I mean, we've got
left
John C Dvorak: side of his face
is swollen. Yes. So it
Adam Curry: could be from a fall
could be because you or you
know, I mean, the actual oxygen
mask that is on in the hospital,
if they don't rotate it the way
they should. It can leave
bruises is what I've been led to
understand we have our ends and
all kinds of medical
John C Dvorak: debt assertion.
Sure. So now,
Adam Curry: Seymour Hersh, who I
think you and I both trust, you
know, he's he's, he's had pretty
good sources. In the past. He's,
you know, he's independent,
that's for sure. i By the way, I
support his substack. I love
that he does that. So he wrote
today, that by July, I'll read
this from his substack July 20.
Former President Barack Obama
was deeply involved in the Joe
Biden getting rid of Joe Biden,
there was talk that he would
place a call to Biden he was not
clear where the Biden had been
examined, or just what happened
to him in Las Vegas, the big
three. This official said to
Hirsch referring to the former
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
Senate Majority Leader Chuck
Schumer, House Minority Leader
Hakeem Jeffries, continued to be
directly involved on Sunday
morning, with the approval of
Pelosi and Schumer Obama called
Biden after breakfast breakfast
and said, Here's the deal is a
quote. Now, here's the deal,
Joe, we have Kamala approval to
invoke the 25th amendment. And
so this is what foresee
John C Dvorak: the guy that from
his sorcery got it from our last
show. Well, that's possible.
Adam Curry: So, Joe had no other
choice, but I think Joe really
is on on the ropes, medically
speaking. And and from what I
understand, the Obamas hung back
a little bit before this phony
baloney call with Kamala,
because she was three cameras
shoot, I might amorous shoot,
and she's miked. And even though
she's waving the phone around,
it seems it sounds exactly the
same speakerphone sounds great.
Complete Edit. In fact, let's
play it. It's only 45 seconds.
Now, did he say it wrong? Did he
say Is he supposed to say Kamala
Kamala? I don't know. It's
John C Dvorak: camel like Pamela
Kamala.
Unknown: Hey there.
You're both together. Oh, it's
good to hear you.
Adam Curry: You're both together
too rare.
Unknown: I can't have this phone
call without saying to my girl
Kamala script,
I am proud of you.
This is going to be historic, we
call to say, Michelle and I
couldn't be prouder to endorse
you and to do everything we can
to get you through this election
and into the Oval Office.
Oh, my goodness script. Oh my
goodness, our practice means so
much to me. I'm looking listen
to
Adam Curry: how her mic sounds.
And then how the phone sounds
really direct and not distant.
Like her mic is so phony
Unknown: doing this with the two
of you.
Adam Curry: But here's how it
went. Listen, we got to do
something, but we don't want to
talk to her. Because we don't
actually want to talk to her,
you will just we'll just record
something and play it back. And
Unknown: I both and getting out
there being on the road. But
most of all, I just want to tell
you that the words you have
spoken and the friendship that
you have given over all these
years, I mean more than I can
express so thank you both means
so much. And and we're gonna
have some fun with this, too.
All right.
Adam Curry: So here's the
problem. Here's the bottom line
problem. She obviously Joe
cannot die or be incapacitated
President Biden I should say,
until the election, because then
she would actually be in charge
and then she would be blamed for
all the crime, everything
everything. So they bring in for
what and I don't understand. So
Daddy Long Legs comes in, you
know, go to the Olympics and
walk around. It's he's literally
like one of those dudes on
stilts. It's so obvious. Do they
think? Could they not get
better? What could
John C Dvorak: they not find a
guy that was Biden's frame and
stature? Well, the only thing is
wearing a Biden mask obviously.
Yeah, yeah. The discuss this
Adam Curry: enough. The only
thing I can think is that the
CIA disguised lady. She said
that, you know, it's relatively
easy to do. But you need a donor
body and maybe they just I mean,
he's kind of got the right head.
He can do a bit of the walk. I
mean, let me just replay this
from the CIA chief. up the skies
from we played on the last show.
This is from our TED Talk. This
Unknown: was sort of the
culmination of my career as the
chief of disguise. I, I know
that once we did this, once we
could create these, think of
what we could do, we could
change you into anything, we
could change your gender, a man
into a woman, that's a little
hard men didn't like to do that
a woman into a man that was
easier, we could change your
ethnicity, we could change your
nationality. The most fun thing
we could do is we could make
another you we could make your
twin. So there could be two of
you we needed to find a donor
who would kind of match height
weight, but we can make a second
view so
Adam Curry: they can match your
height and weight but they this
is such cases gaslighting, what
is it? Why are they doing this?
Do Are we stupid?
John C Dvorak: This is what I
don't understand me why they
picked this long legged guy. But
it's clear that he's doing it to
signals maybe signaling you
know, that may be part of the
idea to get in trumping without
making it too obvious.
Adam Curry: Oh, oh, so this is
sick. Wait, here's an idea. So
it's signaling in order to
actually because the Obamas hate
Kamala is they hate her. Well,
John C Dvorak: I do have a clip
about this. Well, let's let
relates to what your clip your
discussion of hers. First.
Adam Curry: Yes versus her
shmore This
John C Dvorak: this I picked off
of a one of the Fox shows they
had Monica Crowley on with an
analysis that night dot a big
fan of Monica Crowley but I have
to say this Monica Crowley clip.
I think she's got some inside
sources and she knows what she's
talking about. This is quite
good. But Monica first, here we
are the Obamas have endorsed
Kamala, does it ring true to
you? And will it help?
Unknown: Well, they're very late
to the party and very reluctant.
So according to the reporting
that we've seen so far, Charlie
and Pete What we know is that
Barack Obama had an alternative
plan, ready to go he wanted Joe
Biden removed. He saw that he
could not when the New York Post
was reporting that they actually
moved up the debate because they
were trying to frame Joe Biden
they knew that he would implode,
so they wanted enough time and
runway to replace him with
someone else. Obama had a
different plan in mind, and it
was not Kamala Harris, but
Kamala Harris proved to be very
widely along with her handlers.
She was able to accelerate the
process to lock up the support
and the money so that her
nomination was a fait accompli,
she got Joe Biden on board to
endorse her. She got the
Clintons on board and remember
Mrs. Clinton lost to Barack
Obama in 2008. So she got her
little bit of revenge as well.
So Kamala got a fait accompli of
a nomination. She got the
Obama's endorsement now at this
late date. So the word of
warning to everybody here is do
not underestimate Kamala and her
handlers, because they boxed out
Obama, they outmaneuvered him
really for probably the first
time in his political career. He
is not very happy about it. They
will hit the campaign trail for
Kamala, but he will not be an
enthusiastic supporter. Trust
me.
Adam Curry: Ah, you know, and
that's the way to get rid of her
the way and would have, okay,
I'm liking this.
John C Dvorak: So do you have
one more follow up if you want
to hear it? Yeah.
Adam Curry: And then then I want
to come up with my one. To
follow up.
John C Dvorak: It was done
before Biden quit. And it
discusses Kamala being the
conniver candidate conniving
Kamala I like it conniving
Kamala and curiously it's from
Pastor Manning Alright, hold
regular on the show. goes off on
Pamela yay it's
Adam Curry: the good pasture.
Everybody's
Unknown: woman was flaunting her
relationship with Willie Brown
former mayor of San Francisco
you know, so sweet, really?
Sweet Willie Brown we live in
the restaurants down the wharf,
you know and when it brown and
married my Erin public while she
was a district attorney, he she
was the adulterous going with
this man you know, in and all
this all over again pick up the
daily British newspaper they I
mean, they covered it remember
the people in the Frisco Frisco
area didn't cover in America
they didn't bring it up against
it either. But now this one was
from her relationship with sweet
Willie Brown and they were
getting in on this and she did
Dana black man called Willis by
the Black didn't get that guy a
black woman was cold but here
what what is it? What does he
man he's Jewish guy right. And I
might use Jews. I don't hate
Amazon. That's right. I'm not
against Jews. Me. No, I believe
in Abraham. Jesus to you. Isn't
Marin is Jewish guys sums up? I
can't believe that love it for a
site or any other site sums up
some stuff that woman is up to.
So that is that's a Cronin woman
stuff. I think she married that
guy sums up thumbs up until you
got I think I think I think
Willie Brown had her nose open
now y'all don't know that her.
Y'all don't know that. But I
think Willie Brown I think she
was really kind of going for
Willie Brown. She was hanging on
him. He tried to hear after he
dumped her Willie Brown. Y'all
know sweet Willie, this. We
didn't make it. The two of them
I think Willie Brown had a no to
him. I think she really liked
him. You know, and now she ends
up at the date Willie Brown.
Sweet Willie, she marries this
Jewish guy. I just don't know
Jewish men to be great lover.
Let's get on. I'm not against
Jewish food. No, no, this sums
up with a camera bag and Blake
Harris. And Joe Biden better
watch himself. I can tell you
that right now.
Adam Curry: Wow. Wow. Manning,
of course, the progenitor of the
long leg magnetic. That's right.
So we've got a new long leg mack
daddy. Okay, so how about this?
So we had all this trickery
going on. Kamala slides in
Obama's are pissed. Obama say
okay, all right. Well, here's
what we're going to do. By the
way, Jill, and the kids Hunter,
here's your net jets card. Okay,
stop crying in the Oval Office,
you get your net jets card along
with the 100 million. Because
we're going to put this Daddy
Long Legs in into this, it'd be
so obvious that people will just
have to say, Wait a minute.
That's not the president.
Something's up. It's going to be
a scandal. I'm not sure how it's
going to come to light yet. But
it has to be some kind of
scandal. Kamala has to resume
has to assume the presidency.
Which I think if she doesn't
become President, does she is
she does he if he doesn't die,
but if he's incapacitated, does
she does she does her title
change immediately?
John C Dvorak: Only if she he's
kicked out by the 25th
amendment.
Adam Curry: Okay, so she'll just
be the acting president.
Unknown: That
Adam Curry: where's our
constitutional scholars
John C Dvorak: will tell us what
what's what I
Adam Curry: mean, she'll be the
acting president who is good
enough. And then we can really
blame her for everything. This
is a double crossed by the
Obamas. There is no other reason
for this because they've had
better Biden, guys. I've seen
him. I agree.
John C Dvorak: There's something
is amiss with this long legged
bike. And the thing is, is
notice it for some reason. It
could be a tall, bigger guy, but
it's a guy with these real he's
got these ridiculously long
legs. Obviously,
Adam Curry: he has, it's like he
has a 42 inseam. It's
John C Dvorak: huge. And the and
then the fact that he went up to
long steps, racing Hello,
everybody rushed up to LogStash
and Biden is barely making it up
the short steps. Why didn't they
do something fishy about that?
Because Why do you put up the
long steps? Yeah, after we've
had at least two years now
shorties have the short steps.
So now all of a sudden as long
steps are that nobody's
suspicious? What What a lie
buddy suspicious I
Adam Curry: mean if so this of
course in the season of reveal
I'm really hoping this is all
takes place. Because there'll be
a lot of splaining to do once
once we we expose the whole
concept of body doubles like
this. I mean, people are gonna
lose their their ever loving
minds. Well,
John C Dvorak: date we had to
expose this with their Hillary
with the person on the wrong
side. Nobody cares about our
podcast that faced Hillary it
was even the same person. It
wasn't even close.
Adam Curry: Yeah, the bat her
shoulder bag on the wrong
shoulder. That was the tail. Oh,
she
John C Dvorak: had the wrong
stature. She didn't say
anything. Yeah, well, Biden
actually kind of walks he puts
his hands forward this phony
Biden. Yeah, he puts his it says
Adam Curry: call him daddy
longlegs just call him one of
his daddy long legs.
John C Dvorak: He has a he tries
to do the Biden gate but he
doesn't quite do it. Oh, there
everything's wrong. This guy.
Adam Curry: I mean, literally,
he walks out of the Oval Office
where he looks like death warmed
over. He's like, Hey,
Unknown: everybody.
Adam Curry: Look at my legs.
Kick. It looks it's wilt the
stilt
John C Dvorak: Tommy Tune. Looks
like Tommy. That's who it is.
Adam Curry: Think Tommy Tune
died is Tommy tunes still with
us? I don't think he's telling
John C Dvorak: me to and I did
get to see him once on the show.
He has got the longest list.
Eggs. Yeah,
Adam Curry: that's amazing.
Well, so let's just go along
here and follow this through.
You remember who donated a
million dollars to the Obama
election campaign, television
personality to University of
California for one, one person,
one dude, one guy with a TV
show.
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah, Bill
Maher. Harris
Unknown: would be the first
woman president, first black
woman, president and first Asian
president. But I don't vote for
who will be the first. I vote
for who will win. And for
whatever reason, Harris has
never been popular. You can
count the number of delegates
she won in the 2020 primaries on
one hand, as long as that hand
has no fingers.
In three years as Vice President
she has been quieter than an
electric car. Unlike an electric
car, your Maga uncle can't
explain why she fills him with
homicidal rage. She just does.
Sometimes life isn't fair. It's
not fair that she's not popular.
She's intelligent and
accomplished. And in fact wasn't
put in charge of the border and
look at how Okay, better
Adam Curry: So, now I understand
why this whole weekend Stephanie
rule, you know, Stephanie rule,
right? Yeah, the Goldman Sachs
girl that the the guys on the
trading floor like so much.
That's just what I hear. Who by
the way, I think is on ozempic
Because she all of a sudden she
has that kind of Oh, face. Full
Face. I like that. So she so she
title
John C Dvorak: show title face?
Adam Curry: I haven't we use
something like that. Oh, face.
Yeah. So. So she's doing all the
primetime hours on MSNBC. She's
bringing on as many black women
as she can. And it's just like
one weird anecdote after
another. Here's the first
Unknown: people are ready for
this and ready to sort of
continue that energy. I mean,
talking about the Zoom call
tonight it was white women
organizing for president for
vice president Harris. I was
reading tweets that said they
were they were raising $20,000.
So this
Adam Curry: is yummy ish, shabby
chic. And she was normally you
know, she was she's been
heralded as quite the quite the
journalist. Now she's hearing
about Zoo. For a while there,
she was all like, Yeah, but she,
she would have production staff
behind her. And now all she all
she can report on is zoom calls,
and I read a tweet. So she's
doing a period she's not doing
reporting she's doing. And I
heard from someone familiar with
the people on the calls thanking
for
Unknown: president for vice
president Harris, I was reading
tweets that said they were they
were raising $20,000 In a few
minutes, every 20 minutes, a
tweet that I saw. So in some
ways it follows and it does
follow the Zoom calls that we
saw earlier this week, on
Sunday, I was on a zoom call
that lasted until like one
o'clock in the morning, and that
was with 45,000 black women. And
other people were on that Zoom
call and they raised 1.5
million, we
Adam Curry: don't have a
screenshot of this zoom call, I
want to see 40,000 windows
million
Unknown: dollars in about three
hours, black men had their zoom
call. And that's what you're
seeing tonight, sort of a
continuation of that enthusiasm.
Is
Adam Curry: there some list or
not on? Is there? Are there zoom
calls happening that I'm not
being invited to?
John C Dvorak: I'm thinking yes.
When
Unknown: it comes to sort of how
they're going to keep this up,
there's this idea that she's
going to be out on the campaign
trail a lot, all of my sources
that are close to the campaign's
thinking,
Adam Curry: all of my sources
that are close to the campaign's
thinking. So she's not even
talking to the campaign. She's
talking to people who are close
to the campaign's thinking,
which is mind reading,
Unknown: how they're going to
keep this up. There's this idea
that she's going to be out on
the campaign trail a lot, all of
my sources that are close to the
campaign's thinking, tell me
that she's going to be criss
crossing this nation going to
all sorts of states, one source
that's close to the campaign
told me that this is really
going to be in some ways a soft
issues. campaign. And what they
meant by that was, it's going to
be crime, it's going to be
abortion, it's going to be the
autonomy, but not sort of,
here's my policy, go read my
website, it's going to be how do
I make you feel better? How do I
make you feel safer? How do I
make you feel like you're going
to have more control over your
body? If you elect me, this is
Adam Curry: great. It's going to
be a campaign of feelings. How
do you feel about me, that's
Unknown: going to be part of the
argument that Vice President
Harris is going to be making to
Americans. And I think that
she's going to be also
harnessing all of the different
bases in the Democratic Party to
sort of rebuild a little bit of
the Obama coalition but also her
coalition.
Adam Curry: Yeah, so that was
your mace then we bring on this
other woman. Also black and the
whole panel
John C Dvorak: niche by the way
you miss Should I call her? Your
nice Oh, yummy.
Adam Curry: me okay. Here's the
other one,
Unknown: Yasmin.
We're almost done with the first
week of Harris's campaign. What
have we learned about the tone
and
the message of this campaign?
Adam Curry: Oh, thank you,
Stephanie. Yeah, well,
Unknown: I think the tone of the
message was in those clips that
you played of her today in
Houston. We know as you said
that she's going to be leaning
on her prosecutorial backward
background backwater,
Adam Curry: but this wishy
washy, prosecutorial back,
backward, backwoods, backwater
background,
Unknown: we said that she's
going to be leaning on her
prosecutorial backwards,
backwards, backwards,
Adam Curry: backwards,
backwards. All right, and Kotori
Unknown: tutorial backwards
background to juxtapose her
candidacy versus Trump, we know
that she's going to be talking
about some of those kitchen
table issues that were really
centered and focused in her 2019
run. And we know that she is
going to be leaning on this
momentum and energy that she
feels or that you feel when
watching her in these rallies. I
know I was in Milwaukee on
Tuesday, and I saw just how
energetic people were. In fact,
when I talked to voters
afterwards, the first words out
of their mouth was wow, look at
that energy that, wow, that
energy energy was there. And
some of them even said that in
previous Biden brollies, that
energy wasn't there. So I think
that all those things are going
to be the tone and tenor. But,
you know, of course, the the
campaign is still really
evolving. I talked to one source
this week or two, they're
building the plane as it flies
when it comes to their
messaging. And it comes to other
things that the Democrats really
waiting on her to talk for, of
course, you know, we saw her
give comments on Israel and
Gaza, making her stance on that.
So I think that all of these
things that we're seeing in the
first days are going to continue
to evolve. But really, that is
the tone and tenor of her
campaign going forward. So
Adam Curry: they've just wasn't
she say nothing. That's the
point. Look at that energy,
tone, tenor, it's all fabulous.
It's great. And now I'm even
questioning this attack, ad
attack ad, this M five M
supercut. Which I initially I'm
like, Oh, that's pretty funny.
The RNC put this out, you know,
that's what they do. Now, I'm
thinking it might be the DNC or
the Obamas or just people who
just want to hate Kamala,
Unknown: there are of course, to
say that you have the lowest
approval rating
of any Vice President. Well,
they're
polls that also say I have great
approval ratings.
When voters don't like Harris,
how big a drag is Kamala Harris
on the ticket, she's a
pretty big drag. I think she was
arguably, Biden's worst
political decision.
They don't like her. There's
lots of reasons they don't like
their Kamala
Harris's approval rating is now
at 28%, which is an historic low
for any modern vice president.
We're hearing it from mainstream
mainstream media, one outlet
after another, one league after
another. That Kamala Harris is
the worst vice president ever.
The worst polishes cishan ever
we don't see the vice president.
What people are saying to me,
I'm sure they're saying to you,
where's the Vice President, so
minus officials feeling that,
that she came off looking
unprepared for inevitable
questions about when she might
visit the southern border. We've
been
to the border you haven't been
before. And I haven't been to
Europe. And I don't understand
the point that you're making.
The point that
Lester Holt was making
was was obvious to
anyone else who was watching
this interview, which is that
the issues at the border are
inextricably linked with the
portfolio that she's been given
the
border is secure. We have a
secure border, it nomics is
working. Prices have gone up.
And families and individuals are
dealing with the realities of
that bread cost more than gas
costs more. And we have to
understand what that means.
That's about the cost of living
going up.
Adam Curry: He picked Kamala
Harris to
Unknown: be his running mate.
She was raised and is ranked as
the most liberal senator in the
United States. So he could have
gone the other way. But he went,
he went to the left.
Joe Biden is running for
reelection, and I will be his
ticket mate. Full stop.
Adam Curry: This, I am now more
than ever convinced this is an
Obama double cross. And the
question is, will they reveal
the true identity of daddy
longlegs just before the
convention so they can sneak in
Kelly or whoever else they want
to bring in there. How many we
have two more weeks?
John C Dvorak: Well, they're
going to do the straw poll and
actually pre elector on the
first about a week before the
convention. This is their, their
their technique. What does that
mean? That means they're going
to have the guys that
conventioneers that are going to
be at the convention. Do a pre
vote. Show when convention
began. She's already been pre
selected. So there's no debate
at the convention. Okay? And
Adam Curry: is Daddy Long Legs
gonna show up at the convention
and do it? I
John C Dvorak: don't know what
they're gonna do. I don't know
what you're trying to. I mean,
I'm trying to know what they're
going to do with this guy.
Adam Curry: That makes no sense
either either. They don't
either. He's gone now. And he
was just a temp. Like, oh, our
regular guy has a show in Vegas.
But
John C Dvorak: you know, that's
hot. Now that might be right
about that. It's possible that
this long legged guy? Yeah, he's
just a temp temp and they'll
bring into short legged regular
bicone Biden, because our
Adam Curry: normal guy he's out
with COVID or something, you
know? Maybe that's who actually
had COVID Oh, man, our
John C Dvorak: guy has Biden.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: that the the knob?
The Biden we saw on television
that look like that looks like
the guy that looked at dying.
Dying. Joe on Yeah.
John C Dvorak: I want to play
just we're on this topic.
Something I didn't play in the
last couple of shows. But I
decided to finally go back to
it. And the thing is this guy K
part. Yeah, it was with Brooks.
He I watched his weekend shows I
don't have clips from that. But
he is completely in with the
women, the women for the black
women for Camelot. He's one of
them. Movement. Yes, he is. And
he is so onto the Kim Kamla
thing. It's ridiculous. And I
want to play just a piece of
from two weeks ago before Biden
quit his back and forth was
Brooks and his attitude that
this is really to me is so
biased. I don't understand how
this guy's an editor at the
Washington Post. If
Adam Curry: you don't, the
Washington Post is not biased.
Hello.
John C Dvorak: I want to play
these two clips in Is it just to
show you what delusion is taking
place amongst mostly blacks,
black women, mostly men him.
Regarding Harris and this is K
part on Harris. One, it just
leads us into His going nuts
Unknown: and things like that.
So that's raised the sense that
it's inevitable that he's going
to go and so if he's gonna go he
has to go, but it has to be in
the next few days or else he's
you know, fatally weakened by
being constantly drip drip drip
of undermine on what happens
next. I think the Democrats will
be in big trouble if if Kamala
Harris was not on the ticket. On
the other hand, nothing comes
free in politics. The problem
with the democratic process so
far, it's been it's been a low
inflammation process. Joe Biden
got this far because he wasn't
tested in the primaries. And the
idea you're gonna have another
nominee who's not tested should
be a little alarming to
Democrats. So the idea of a mini
primary with those press
conferences or debates, that's
it's not entirely unappealing to
me that Kamala Harris may well
get the nomination, but she
stepped to earn it. She shot the
show, the party in the country
that she's really capable of, of
doing this campaign.
Jonathan, what do you make it
not
tested has to earn it. She's the
sitting Vice President of the
United States who has endured a
whole lot of scrutiny in that
role, lots of brickbats from
within the party from the other
party, from the press, you know,
earn it. She was vice president
during during COVID during a
5050 split in the Senate, so she
was, you know, basically chained
to that president's chair in the
Senate chamber not being able to
leave Washington for more than
two and a half hours so she
could get back and cast tie
breaking votes, the most
tiebreaker votes cast by any
vice president, any anyone who
says it will I don't mean to
pick on you, David. But anyone
who says she has sir earn, it
hasn't been paying attention to
what she's what she's done. Oh,
Adam Curry: well, a couple of
things. One, finally, they're
arguing with each other. That's
a pro for the show. We're
arguing for the first time ever
since we started playing these
clips. A second, he clearly was
on the 40,000 women zoom call.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I would
think so. He takes very
defensive about the idea that
she should do anything at all,
even though she's obviously
unpopular. And what
Adam Curry: do you notice here?
They, it looks to me like
they're pushing a lot of women
of color. Let's just call them
that. Yes. Women of Color,
promote this, and this, and this
is a protection airy mechanism.
Because if it all falls apart,
well, hey, you had 40,000 Women
on a call you said it was it was
locked up. You were familiar
with their thinking. It was all
good.
John C Dvorak: stuff. And he
wrote this arguing between the
two of them and they kind of
make up they make up a little
bit in clip too. But but K part
maintains his position. And
Unknown: I don't mean to say
worthy of it. But you know, Joe
Biden was president and he just
wasn't out there campaigning and
process of campaigning, even if
it's done over three weeks is
better than no process. And so
that would be my only point.
Jonathan, we'll
give you the last word here. We
got 45 seconds. David,
have you seen Democrats? I mean,
my big fear with Democrats is
that if they if you do have this
common sense proposal of an open
primary Democrats will make it a
shambolic process. And in the
end, whoever gets the top that
gets the top spot on the ticket,
even if it's the sitting Vice
President could be as hobbled as
the the president, they
potentially driven off the tip
top of it.
Adam Curry: I hear this word
continuously shambolic.
John C Dvorak: What exactly do
they mean an idiotic word? It's
a word that was actually first
appeared in the lexicon in 1970.
And it means disorganized. Oh
weird Shambles it stems from the
word Shambles well as I don't
know why it showed up, and it's
mostly lefties that use it
earlier in the same back and
forth. Brooks used it earlier
and he picked it up and so I
don't know why I don't like that
term at all. Let's
Adam Curry: listen to some more
women of color promoting Kamala.
This is joy read I think there's
so with with Michael Steele,
another black woman
Unknown: I think there's
something to be said for you
know, what did they call it the
Kabbalah mentum. that's out
there. That's really kind of
creating a lot of energy here.
So much so that you've got Maria
Teresa the Grail headline, white
women's answered the call for
Kamala Harris attracting nearly
200,000 attendees and raising
$8.5 million on Zoom. That was
wait
Adam Curry: a minute, what was
what was the Zoom call that they
were on? So the black woman
raised $20,000 and the white
women did like 8 million
John C Dvorak: to your desk in
the wrong guy for
Unknown: Kamala Harris
attracting nearly 200,000
attendees and raising $8.5
million on Zoom. That was in
nodded in response to but in
alliance with the call that took
place over the weekend among
some 40,000 African American
women that then grew even more
so.
Adam Curry: And let's go to Anna
Navarro, another woman of
Unknown: color they are so
triggered and so wacko they are
shook it. They are out there
saying vile vile remarks about
Kamala Harris. By the way, let's
start with that. That's
pronounced this Kamala Kamala
Kamala, this is not Kamala,
which they say on purpose, but
that's okay. If you don't want
to learn how to pronounce this,
that's fine, because you're
gonna be saying madame
president, Hillary Clinton went
through is pale in comparison to
what they are putting Kamala
Harris through just in a week.
The remarks are vile, they are
trying to make her dating
history an issue and listen, if
you guys want to do that, if you
guys want to make her dating
history and her personal
history, I have an issue. Let's
do that. Okay, bring it on.
Adam Curry: Man A Chill out.
Chill out. And by the way, you
know she's supposed to be a
Republican, as is Michael
Steele.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Michael
Steele is the head of the RNC
Adam Curry: was yes was okay,
let's let's listen to some white
people. Since this is what it's
all going to be black versus
white. Jen Psaki has a great
term. This is not your clip,
John C Dvorak: by the way. By
the way. I want to mention that
this is between if you want to
say it's a race thing between
whites and blacks is also a
thing between black men and
black women. Yes. Which I think
is the bigger split. Yeah,
Adam Curry: but I don't have any
clips of that. No,
John C Dvorak: I just said, the
idea of clearing it up.
Adam Curry: Listen to what Saki
says the idea that the Vice
Unknown: President of the United
States Kamala Harris is
unqualified to be president on
her own merits independent of
her race, gender, or anything
else is straight up
disinformation. This is a woman
who was a prosecutor for two
decades before being elected as
the Attorney General of
California. Then she won the
election to the Senate in 2016.
And gained notoriety for being a
tough question or if you
judicial nominees and corporate
witnesses in hearings, and for
the last three and a half years,
she has been rice President of
the United States for good.
Adam Curry: Rice president.
Unknown: Listen to her. And for
the last three and a half years.
She has been rice President of
the United States. We're gonna
say
John C Dvorak: yeah, rice,
Adam Curry: she said no, but she
says rice President of the
United States, listen, thanks.
Unknown: And for the last three
and a half years, she has been
rice President of the United
States. We're gonna say her Mom,
John C Dvorak: do you not hear
this? Rice President of the
United States? Yes.
Unknown: And for the last three
and a half years. I think she
has been rice President of the
United States for goodness sake.
I mean, what are we even talking
about here?
Adam Curry: I think your rice
President United States, that
was a five Martini lunch we had
rice
John C Dvorak: per year. Right?
I don't there's no denying. I
have a couple of questions.
Because there's been these.
These concern Miss hearings that
I've you hear all the time. Yes.
Which are usually the best one.
Of course this one. Yeah. But I
don't want to go to this right
now. I'm just saying that this
miss hearing, but in this case,
there's no way she didn't say
rice and steaks.
Adam Curry: rice rice, President
of these United
John C Dvorak: States, and then
she goes off this guy's and then
she sat down. She's slurring
she's drunk. Yes, yes,
Adam Curry: yes. Yes. I think
you're right. But that's good.
That's good show material right
there. Rice, president of the
US, United States,
John C Dvorak: United States.
Adam Curry: I have another white
white dude. MSNBC guests. This
was this was quite the opposite
message.
Unknown: The Democratic base
right now is just entirely
lacking for intensity. I mean,
when I talk with Democrat
elected officials in the
battleground states, they tell
me the same story over and over
and over again, they can't find
anybody to come out and
volunteer for them to do the
sort of work that that that's
necessary in a field operation,
because there's just no
enthusiasm. I mean, we all the
time about the cliche,
enthusiasm gap in politics. I've
never seen an enthusiasm gap
like the one we're witnessing in
the summer of this election
year. I've heard horror stories
from people on the ground in
Michigan, in Pennsylvania in
Arizona, about just striking out
time and time again, as local
Democratic Party chapters county
chapters have tried to get
people to come in and phonebank
to get mail going to knock on
doors. They can't do it. They
can't find people.
Adam Curry: I don't know if
that's true, but it was on
MSNBC. I thought that was rather
interesting. There's no
enthusiasm, but there's 1000s of
people on Zoom calls, apparently
mythical zoom calls. And there's
one other thing that one of our
producers brought to my
attention, says I don't know
what you and John had been
seeing this past election cycle,
but all I'm seeing is Indians,
Indians, Indians, Indians
everywhere. Vivec Nim Radha I
mean Nikki Haley, Sanjay Gupta
player in the game. Dinesh
D'Souza, Where's Bobby Jindal
bring back Jindal? Vance?
Where's
John C Dvorak: Bobby Jindal?
That's a good point.
Adam Curry: JD Vance. His wife,
OSHA. I mean, there's a lot so I
mean, are we going for some some
Indian hate now? Is that is that
the next thing on deck with
Kamala, she's clearly Indian.
John C Dvorak: That I do have a
hate clip.
Adam Curry: And look who's
running Google. Look who's
running Microsoft?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, Indians,
Indians. This is the Morning Joe
hate the talking about the about
the basis to hate basis, they're
gonna start throwing it Camela.
And
Unknown: I've heard from inside
Republican circles and right
wing media that the hate
campaign against Kamala Harris
has begun. You'll notice they
purposefully pronounced her name
wrong. They say Kamala, they do
it all the time. It is on
purpose. But the talk is to
start that hate campaign and get
it going and started churning.
Adam Curry: Yeah, so this this
is part of most theory and and I
have to say there's definitely
something to it. He predicted on
on the last episode we did
together, he predicted that this
this unfortunate shooting in
Illinois have this black woman
by the cops. Have you even heard
about this? Yeah. Is that this
would start to you know, this.
This happened a couple of weeks
ago, and now it's bubbling up
and that this is going to be the
start, you know, they're looking
for new George Floyd. You have a
clip here that kind of explains
what happens. It's clearly I
mean, this cop could not have if
you wanted a guy that looks like
a racist white cop and you have
the body cam footage. It's
almost like the script is just
too good to be true. For some
real real protests happening.
Unknown: So yet Massey was a
mother she was a sister she is a
daughter. The
call to police for help turning
into the last call 36 year old
Sonia Massey would ever make her
death is sending shockwaves
across the nation. As body
camera footage is revealing her
final moments Massey could be
heard saying quote, I will
rebuke you in the name of Jesus
while moving the pot of water.
Thing Aman sheriff's deputy
Shawn Grayson drawing his weapon
causing Massey to duck behind
the counter saying she was
sorry. We've stopped the video
before Grayson is seen firing
his gun three times hitting
Masse once in the face. The now
fired sheriff's deputies record
includes two DUIs in a discharge
from the Army for misconduct.
According to ABC News, he's
pleaded not guilty to three
counts of first degree murder
among other charges against him.
It was one
of the most horrific murders
that we've ever seen in recent
history, if not all of history
details following the shooting,
revealing not only a breakdown
and communication within the
department but also to family of
Massey body worn camera showing
Grayson initially discouraging
his partner from trying to save
Massey's life
we all got to see how a police
officer stood by as a woman was
murdered right in front of his
face.
But here's the question how much
longer how many more Sonia
Massey's how many more Michael
Browns how many more Eric
Garner's again and again and
again that's gone on.
Rally goers calling for an
overhaul of the system and on
Congress to pass the George
Floyd justice in policing act
something Massey's family has
also vocalized, the proposed
reform aims to hold police
accountable change the culture
of law enforcement in the
relationships and communities by
addressing systemic racism and
bias. So
Adam Curry: of course, we don't
actually know the whole story,
but the script is written. I
mean, it's it's clear from the
way it's being presented. And I
think it was Kamala Harris, Vice
President rice rice, President
Harris, who, who pleaded for the
George Floyd act.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I wouldn't
be surprised. She's really funny
that of
Adam Curry: course, she also,
you know, thought that Jesse
Smollett was, you know, that
they put a noose around his
neck. Yes. Let's not forget
that. Let's not forget that one.
So, you know, this is clearly a
play. I don't know if they're
going to I don't know. But I
think by August 2, she has to
announce her vice president VP
pick.
John C Dvorak: Why does she have
to do it by August 2?
Adam Curry: That's just
something I heard on the news. I
don't know anything. I'm just
telling you.
John C Dvorak: She can announce
anytime she wants it probably be
during the convention. I would
think
Adam Curry: I'm just telling you
what I heard. Let's listen to an
ad because they do have
John C Dvorak: doesn't have to
there's no. Okay.
Adam Curry: I'm just telling
you. Listen, look, the media,
the media chooses our
presidents. Okay, so we might as
well listen to what they're
doing. This isn't an ad for
rice, rice, President Harris.
Unknown: In this election, we
each face a question. What kind
of country do we want to live
in? There are some people who
think we should be a country of
chaos, of fear of hate. But us
we choose something different.
We choose freedom.
Yeah, Beyonce.
The freedom not just to get by,
but get ahead. The freedom to be
saved from gun violence, the
freedom to make decisions about
your own body. We choose a
future where no child lives in
poverty, where we can all afford
health care, where no one is
above the law. We believe in the
promise of America and we're
ready to fight for it. Because
when we fight, we win. So join
us go to Kamala harris.com. And
let's get to work comma cable
run and because a winner Don't
quit on themselves
John C Dvorak: well, I thought
this one I did I think that ad
replaced this one or this one.
Replace that when I have? Oh,
Adam Curry: every really you're
gonna play this? Everyone saw
it? Where is it?
John C Dvorak: What's it called?
Camela ad?
Adam Curry: No Camela campaign
ad.
Unknown: I come on Harris and
your Democrat candidate for
president because Joe Biden
finally exposed to civility. I
was selected because I'm the
ultimate diversity hire. I'm
both a woman and a person of
color. So if you've criticized
anything, I say you're both
sexist and racist. I may not
know the first thing about
running the country. But
remember, that's a good thing.
If you're a deep state puppet, I
had for years under the tutelage
of the ultimate Deep State
puppet, a wonderful mentor Joe
Biden. Joe taught me rule number
one, carefully hide your total
incompetence. I take
insignificant things and I
discuss them as if they're
significant. And I believe that
exploring the significance of
the insignificant is in itself
significant, talking about the
significance of the passage of
time, right the significance of
the passage of time So when you
think about it, there is great
significance to the passage of
time. And there is such great
significance to the passage of
time. Another trick is trying to
sound last, I pretend to
celebrate Kwanzaa. And in my
speeches, I always do my best
Barack Obama pressure. So hear
me when I say, I know Donald
Trump's tight. And okay, look,
maybe my work addressing the
root causes of the border crisis
were catastrophic. But my
knowledge of international
politics is truly shocking. The
United States shares a very
important relationship, which is
an alliance with the Republican
North Korea. It is an alliance
that is strong and enduring. And
just remember, when voting this
November, it is important to see
what can be unburdened by what
has been, and by what has been.
I mean, Joe Biden Do you think
the country went to over the
past four years? You ain't seen
nothing yet.
Adam Curry: Now, do you think
that was one of our girls, or
was that AI?
John C Dvorak: I think it was
one of the if it could be either
one. But I think it's one of the
girls.
Adam Curry: I think so too.
Because they're so prevalent now
on on x. It must have been one
of them. Yeah, yeah. By the way,
if it was AI, that's not going
to happen in the European Union.
That's not going to happen.
Queen Ursula will not allow it,
Unknown: the threat of
disinformation and foreign
interference is more serious
than ever.
The enemies of our democracies
are manipulating information to
sow division. So we must step up
our action with a European
democracy shield.
This new structure will track
down information manipulation,
and coordinate with national
agencies. The shield will detect
foreign interference, remove
content with a stronger approach
to AI deep fakes. And finally
pre bunkin build resilience in
Adam Curry: the European
democracy. It's a very audacious
project project, the European
democracy shield we're going to
protect your democracy. But I'd
like to move to to the other two
candidates for a moment. Trump
and RFK Jr. Because they both
spent a lot of time this weekend
pandering in Nashville
Unknown: that saying that all
hell is gonna break loose and
you're gonna need a Bitcoin.
Adam Curry: Now, this is really
interesting to me, of course,
but it shouldn't be the anybody
that the only one so far not
pandering to the Bitcoiners is
Kamala Harris. Kamala, that's
that right now. Kamala Kamala
John C Dvorak: your I don't know
pronouncing it every chance you
get just
Adam Curry: because what you do
racist There you go. So Trump
showed up on the at the very
last moment, it was the last
speech of the Bitcoin Conference
in Nashville. Which by the way,
the band's Bitcoin was a
podcasting 2.0 project. We of
course did this outside of the
of their event, we had 12 bands,
performing over three days was
pretty awesome. All in the
modern podcast apps. Congrats
Everybody who participated a lot
of our no agenda stream people.
And I pulled a couple clips
actually, I got them from Chris
from this week in Bitcoin
podcast who did it? He did an
emergency pod. It was mergency
pod, emergency pod, which I
actually appreciate and like,
Oh, fantastic that you already
you appreciate? Because you got
the clip. You pre clipped it for
me? Exactly. Here's the
introduction. This is
Unknown: the kind of spirit that
built America. And this is the
spirit that's going to help us
make America great again. I
stand before you today filled
with respect and admiration for
what the Bitcoin community has
achieved. It's incredible
actually, I sort of say to my
sons, it's like incredible
because they know so much about
it is so this aware of it much
more so than people that are a
little bit older. But I say this
is the steel industry of 100
years ago really is I think
you're just in your infancy I
can see it happening. In just 15
years, Bitcoin has gone from
merely an idea posted
anonymously on an internet
message board to being the ninth
most valuable asset anywhere in
the world. Can you believe that?
Is that right? That's a big
deal. The reason I've come to
address the Bitcoin community
today can be summed up into very
simple words. America first,
because if we don't do it, China
is going to be doing there's
going to be doing it. Let's do
it and do it right
Adam Curry: So we know it was
John C Dvorak: wow, I know I
twisted that one into America
first. Oh
Adam Curry: gets better. This is
the kind
Unknown: of spirit that built
America and this is the spirit
that's going to help us make
America great again. So what do
I stand before you today filled
with respect and admiration for
what the Bitcoin community has
achieved? It's incredible
actually. I sort of say to my
sons, it's like incredible
because they know so much about
it is so this aware
Adam Curry: of it. But wait, did
I just play this? This? Yeah,
you
John C Dvorak: play this clip,
or
Adam Curry: I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to do that. So I only have
a couple here. The most
surprising, which I thought was
really interesting. It surprised
him too, is when he made this
statement. He said a lot about
Elizabeth Warren and Pocahontas
and she hates you, and I'm not
gonna let him do anything.
Unknown: This afternoon. I'm
laying out my plan to ensure
that the United States will be
the crypto capital of the planet
and the Bitcoin superpower of
the world and we'll get it done.
If crypto is going to define the
future, I want to be mined,
minted and made in the USA, it's
going to be it's not going to be
made anywhere else. And if
bitcoin is going to the moon, as
we say, as going to the moon, I
want America to be the nation
that leads the way and that's
what's going to happen. Though
you're going to be very happy
with me. I pledged to the
Bitcoin community, that the day
I take the oath of office, Joe
Biden, Kamala Harris's anti
crypto crusade will be over it
will end it'll be done. It'll be
done. Elizabeth Warren and her
goons and she's very nasty to
you. She hates your people. She
hates everything about you.
We'll keep their hands off.
Bitcoin. They're gonna keep your
head their hands of crypto, they
gotta let it grow. We're gonna
let it grow. On day one. I will
fire Gary Gensler and appoint a
new CTO
I didn't know what it was that
unpopular.
Adam Curry: He was really
surprised by that even he went
back and he said it again. I'm
gonna fire that guy. I took out
all of the other applauses
because there was just a lot of
it. The biggest one was an
obvious one. It was a it was a
gimme. Almost today
Unknown: I repeat my pledge to
commute the sentence of Ross
Ulbricht to a set time, sir,
it's enough. It's enough.
Adam Curry: So that's Ross
Ulbricht of Silk Road. I think
he's been in jail for 10 years.
So oh, the Silk Road guy road
guy. Yeah. So here so then he
lays out his his strategic plan
his policy,
Unknown: many Americans do not
realize that the United States
governor is among the largest
holders of Bitcoin. Does anyone
know that? How about that? The
federal government has almost
210,000 Bitcoin or 1% of the
total supply that will ever
exist. But for too long, our
government has violated the
cardinal rule that every Bitcoin
er knows, by heart, never sell
your Bitcoin. Right? That's
right. That's right. How did I
figure that one? Never said your
Bitcoin. And so the final part
of my plan today, I am
announcing that if I am elected,
it will be the policy of my
administration United States of
America to keep 100% Of all the
Bitcoin the US Government
currently holds or acquires into
the future will keep 100% I hope
you do well, please. This will
serve in effect as the core of
the strategic national Bitcoin
stockpile.
Adam Curry: Okay, so, right
after he was done, Senator
Loomis from Wyoming came on and
she had already written the
policy for the strategic Bitcoin
reserve, which includes
purchasing up to 1 million
Bitcoin in the next five years.
And I guess kind of the good
thing is that it would be taken
from the Federal Reserve's I
don't know extra gold chips they
got laying around or something
but they wouldn't the idea is
that would not print new 1
John C Dvorak: million Bitcoin.
Yeah. $1 million with a Bitcoin
one because that's $65 trillion.
I don't think so.
Adam Curry: No, I think that's
65 billion. I don't think it's
65 trillion. I don't I don't
think it's 65 trillion. Okay,
good. Be 65 billion. But here's
the kicker. And then I want to
play RFK. two clips. Here's the
kicker, as I'm hanging out, this
is so opposite of what of what
Trump was talking about. I mean,
really what isn't 180 He's like
no as it is a danger to the US
dollar. But then he kind of
uncloaked and there was a lot of
silence when he talked about
this
Unknown: as part of our effort
to provide regulatory clarity,
we will create a framework to
enable the safe, responsible
expansion of stable, stable
coins. Do you know what a stable
coin is? Does anybody know
please raise your hand, allowing
us to extend the dominance of
the US dollar to new frontiers
all around the world, America
will be richer, the world will
be better and there will be
billions and billions of people
brought into crypto economy and
storing their savings in
Bitcoin.
Adam Curry: So he didn't really
doesn't know much because the
pronunciate stable coins on
stable coin is how it's
pronounced. So the idea here is
you're going to back the stable
coin, that'll be the expansion
of the US dollar, essentially,
that'll be the digital dollar. I
think he's all in on that. And
you can hear there was no
enthusiasm for it. And he even
said, Oh, this is bitcoin is
good. Those
Unknown: who say that Bitcoin is
a threat to the dollar have the
story exactly backwards? I
believe it is exactly backwards.
Bitcoin is not threatening the
dollar, the behavior of the
current US government is really
threatening the dollar.
Adam Curry: So we'll see what
that policy really means. But
the stable coin business. I
don't think that's very good. He
did say that he would always
protect self custody, which is a
hot button issue for the
Bitcoiners as well as create a
task force made of Bitcoiners
who would be working for the
Bitcoin industry. Now, what is
interesting is the day before
RFK, Jr. Did his speech at
Bitcoin, clearly and understands
much more about the Bitcoin
community about Bitcoin itself.
And here's his intro right there
different viewpoints. I found
the most striking feature of
Bitcoin community is this kind
of paradoxical just
juxtaposition, marked by fears,
visions on several minor issues,
and an overwhelming sense of
unity within the larger Bitcoin
Bitcoin ecosystem. The Bitcoin
community reminds me of how
American politics ought to be
fiercely diverse, but ultimately
United our aspirations and our
belief in our country, and in
our convictions that America is
worth the fight. I am so glad to
be back for my second Bitcoin
Conference. Since last year in
Miami, I've been meeting with
leaders and thinkers from this
community. I've conferred with
Bitcoin miners, with
policymakers, with economists,
with financial experts, with
investors and developers,
entrepreneurs, to deepen my
understanding of the
extraordinary promise of Bitcoin
for our country, and for a
planet. I think he understands
this group much better. And he
also laid out his policy. It's
interesting, he uses a very
similar type of policy to what
Trump announced the day after,
after. After all, I've learned I
intend, as President United
States to sign an executive
order on day one, directing the
Department of Justice and the US
marshals to transfer the
approximately 200,000 Bitcoin
held by the US government to the
United States Treasury, where it
will be held as a strategic
asset.
On day one, as President, I will
sign another executive order
directing the US Treasury to
purchase 550 Bitcoin daily until
the US has built reserve of at
least 4 million Bitcoins.
Had a position of dominance and
no other country will be able to
use her. Our nation holds
approximately 19% of global gold
reserves. This policy will give
us about the same proportion of
total Bitcoin. The cascading
impact on these actions will
eventually move Bitcoin to a
valuation of hundreds of
trillions of dollars on day one
as President, I will sign also
an executive order directing the
IRS to issue public guidelines
that all transactions between
Bitcoin and the US dollar are
unrepeatable transactions
and by extension, non taxable,
so,
John C Dvorak: you know that
well, he's not going to be
president, that's never going to
happen, but it does give me some
insight into how the economy is
going to eventually collapse.
So,
Adam Curry: there's that tell me
John C Dvorak: where you start?
I'm just gonna leave it at that.
Adam Curry: What? I don't Okay.
I just don't understand what
you're saying. I understand what
you're saying that
John C Dvorak: Bitcoin is not
sustainable.
Adam Curry: not sustainable.
John C Dvorak: And if it goes
back to its original value of 25
cents, it's going to cause
economic havoc. Okay.
Adam Curry: Well see, see it in
19 years. I have a different
belief there,
John C Dvorak: ya know, and
don't sell whatever you do.
Adam Curry: know, I've never
ever heard President Trump told
me never ever sell your Bitcoin.
Why would I do that? But the the
point that he's making? I don't
I don't know how many bitcoins I
think there's there's three
Bitcoin three and a half Bitcoin
are created every every 10
minutes. So that's, what is that
homeless? Oh, that's a times six
is 18 times 24. He would be
really wanting the US to buy
more Bitcoin that are created on
daily basis. So that would, that
would definitely increase the
price. Yeah, because it'd be
taking it off the market. Well,
but you try to Yeah. Yeah.
Anyway, I love Kennedy,
John C Dvorak: you know, is a
huge Kennedy as if he was
allowed to be the Democrat that
he is, would be a huge threat to
the Republicans. He could easily
win the presidency.
Unfortunately, that he is
against the Democrat policy and
the Democrat. The fact is Jen
Psaki clips are a good example,
what I'm going to say, which is
the Democrats have been
gaslighting the public, they've
been lying to the public, they
are unbeli. And I wonder, I've
said it before, and I'm going to
backtrack a little bit. I am
wondering, you know, I've said
that they're sincere. And now
I'm beginning to be I'm
beginning to doubt myself.
Insofar as their sincerity is
concerned, because it because of
these Jen Psaki clips bring up
are you kidding me? Are you
really that stupid? Are you
sincere about this? Because I'm
beginning to doubt it. Now. I'm
thinking that they're just basic
liars. Can Ivers well
Adam Curry: hold on a second?
You mean the media? Not not the
Democrats themselves, but the
media who are on the Democrat
payroll or whatever? However,
that works.
John C Dvorak: It's the it's the
structure of the Democrat Party
as a whole. The media is just
part
Adam Curry: of it. Yeah. Yeah.
Including Fox.
John C Dvorak: Fox to so to a
much lesser extent I have for
Jen Psaki clips from this
morning. And one it's a it's
ridiculous.
Adam Curry: Well, is she drunk?
Because I think that Well, she's
John C Dvorak: I don't think she
does. She doesn't listen to it
by the words Pete budaj says,
Adam Curry: Do you think that
when she says rice president
that's being racist against
Indians? Just thinking I just
thought, curry
John C Dvorak: maybe. Okay.
First of all, there's the intro
clip that she has as a teaser,
and this is not part of the
regular set of clips here. But I
just want to throw it in as one
example of of insincerity and
add basic line. Just this is the
beginning of her show, and
later,
Unknown: JD Vance's comments
about childless cat ladies is
just plain weird. And somehow,
his attempt at a cleanup only
made things weirder.
Adam Curry: Yeah, this is a very
old statement he made and it's
funny.
John C Dvorak: 2011 to be exact.
Adam Curry: It's funny.
John C Dvorak: He talks about
childless cat ladies who were
who hate themselves. And she
says there that is weird. Is
this weird to you? Have you
you've ever heard of a cat lady?
I mean, the Simpsons have a cat
lady as a character has been a
character for 30 years or more.
I don't understand how that's
weird. Well,
Adam Curry: the old I mean of
all the leaders. There's a lot
of childless cat ladies we have
Have I remember a Merkel
childless cat lady? How about
Maloney? Does she have kids? She
might be a childless cat lady.
Back. I mean, yeah, it's like,
okay. I mean, they've been
stereo what they've been using
this for because, you know, of
course I didn't clip but they
will be using it to say, oh,
Trump is already regretting his
VP. He's gotta be regretted.
He's gonna be regretting it
because look at all these look
at this stupid thing he said 13
years ago? Oh, no. 30 years ago,
was it that long?
John C Dvorak: It Well, yeah, it
was 2011 when he said it. Wow. I
mean, the stuff that Kamala says
three years ago, in 2020 when
she was running she has all
these crazy things she said, but
that we don't pay attention to
that but we go back to you know,
2011 for this Vance comment
which isn't weird. It childless
cat lady is a is a stereotype
that I think a lot of people
have ridiculed Sure,
Adam Curry: cat ladies for sure.
And cat ladies are often
childless.
John C Dvorak: So let's go to
the basic clips here. And now I
want you to listen carefully.
Now. I'm going to pre pre bunk
Oh, no. I'm gonna just so people
can hear it as it comes about.
They bring they're going to talk
about Trump and the fact that he
you know, he's what he said to
the Christian group, which we
understand everyone understands,
but they don't. So so they start
talking about Trump's style of
oratory and the fact that he,
you can take it literally or
figuratively, or you can take it
seriously or non seriously, the
script is screwed up. Buttigieg
blows it and he says, Will
people wonder when you can take
Trump literally or seriously?
Oh,
Adam Curry: he that should have
been figuratively.
John C Dvorak: Serious,
literally and seriously are
exactly the same thing. Yes. So
that's not a choice that you'd
make. So he would say seriously
or And seriously, or literally
and figuratively. But no, he
says literally or seriously. Jen
Psaki chokes doesn't correct him
because she could do it right at
the beginning when he says this
and say no, you mean figured
out? Oh, yeah, yeah, Navy with a
with a reset and gone onto there
complaining. But she doesn't do
that she chokes it, because
she's not good. She's not a good
interviewer. She's not
listening. And she doesn't know
how to save something. So it
gets just goes downhill. Because
they add, so she at the very
last clip was clip for she would
have a three guide this started
with two. She kind of completely
chokes it. But I wanted to
listen to this. And we're, this
is what this really bothers me
that they're taken Trump.
They're taking they're taking
Trump out of context. And then
they're, they're analyzing it
poorly. Here we go, well,
Unknown: it's officially 100
days until the election. So that
means it's 100 days to make sure
your polling place hasn't
changed 100 days to figure out
if you're gonna vote by mail or
vote in person. And of course,
there's a lot that will happen
between now and then. We already
know the stakes in this
election. And Donald Trump just
reminded us that in 100 days,
it's really not just a normal
election. It's an election where
we decide if we still want to
hold elections again. And
again, Christians get out and
vote just as time. You won't
have to do it anymore. Four more
years. You know what? It'll be
fixed. It'll be fine. You won't
have to vote anymore. My
beautiful Christians. I love you
Christians. In four years. You
don't have to vote again. We'll
have it fixed. So good. You're
not gonna have to
inform are yours. You're not
gonna have to vote again. But
his words, those aren't my
words. That's Donald Trump's
words. So those are the stakes.
Yeah, it's frightening. It
shouldn't be. The good news,
though, is that a lot of good
things happen this week for the
Democratic ticket. Oh,
Adam Curry: interesting. So
she's taking that as you
Christians, Christians, elect
president, he's
John C Dvorak: dropping the
Christians part. She's just
taken this and this is every
she's not the only one doing
this. And what she's trying to
do is, it's like, there'll be no
more like dictator from day one.
Adam Curry: Yeah, there'd be no
more elections. I'll be a
dictator just have to do it now.
And then you don't have to worry
about it ever again. That's
John C Dvorak: exactly what
she's saying is happening, as
she says is frightening. Now,
anyone who's who's serious and
knows about Christian voters,
knows that there are a hard nut
to crack in certain elections
with certain people, they just
don't vote. And it's been a
known fact for a long time. And
it's always like, Oh, God, we
got it. We did George Bush,
George W. Bush got to Christians
to vote because he faked being a
super Christian and nobody's
seriously believed him. But it
was a big deal to get the
evangelicals who are lazy voters
to get out to vote and get them
to vote. So this is what Trump
is doing. He's talking to a
Christian group and he's saying,
Look Christians, let's vote for
me because because I know you
know, we all know that you don't
like voting. And so this this
one time vote, you won't have to
worry about it after that.
That's it. Everyone knows what
this means. John is not saying
this is the last time you ever
gonna get to vote. John, it
worked on
Adam Curry: me I immediately
couldn't wait to vote. Trump has
got me No, no,
John C Dvorak: you're never have
to vote again. Cuz you won't be
allowed to vote because he's
gonna be dictator from day one.
This is the threat to democracy
we're talking about. So at this
point, I can't believe that this
is sincerity. This is bullcrap.
This is a blatant lie, and she's
trying to pull this off blue
Adam Curry: dress, gold dress
type deal like this is I don't
think it's even I think it's
just complete. Bullshit. What's
interesting is that clip, I
don't think I have it because
right after that, he says, I'm a
I'm a Christian, but you I saw
it on Twitter, people saying
Trump just said he's not a
Christian. And when you when
someone prompts you as saying,
he said, I'm not a Christian. It
sounds like he's saying, I'm not
a Christian. But he said, I'm a
Christian. And she cut that up
for some reason. I don't
understand why, because that
would have been even funnier.
But see that part that that
subtlety, which you could have
easily,
John C Dvorak: but I think is
because they don't care about
the Christian part. They're
trying to get the Christian
angle out. Yeah, you're right.
He's just wants people to vote
from this one time, because
you're not going to get a chance
to vote again, ever, Christian
or not? That's what she's
saying, Well, this is a you
don't wish that would that would
ruin the point. Do
Adam Curry: you think her
audience buys into this?
John C Dvorak: I think some of
them do. Because they're stupid.
And I come to the conclusion.
And I may go way back on this,
and I got a couple of comments
to make after the last clip. I
think they're, I think the
Democrats take advantage of
their audience. They get them
because the Democrat Party is
like it's a club. You join it
with our cult demon. And you
want you're a Democrat? Oh,
yeah, Democrats, because most
people don't pay attention. They
just vote Democrat. And so the
ones who do pay attention, they
listen to her and she's just
goading them. Look, what this
guy's gonna do is a threat to
democracy. He's not gonna have
elections anymore, which is all
impossible. But okay, because
none of the people that listen
to this stuff, have ever taken a
civics course, who knows how the
country works. So now, we bring
in Pete, and here we go.
Unknown: So me now as Pete
Buttigieg, he is appearing in
his personal capacity, not his
official world as a member of
the Biden administration. So I'm
awkwardly not going to call you
Mr. Secretary or mayor. That's
where we are great to be here.
Thank you so much for being here
with me, for having me. So I
just I played that clip of
Donald Trump saying in four
years, you won't have to vote
again. I mean, he's made similar
statements before. For Governor
Chris Sununu was on after you on
Fox News This Morning. He said
it's just classic Trumpism. I
think it's pretty important to
call out what did you think when
you heard him say that? Yeah,
I mean, candidly, I don't
completely understand what he
means. I don't want to have to
worry about what he means. It's
yet another reason why we've got
to make sure he doesn't get
reelected. You know, I remember
a few years ago, there were some
commentators who sounded clever
by saying, you know, the problem
with Democrats is we were taking
Trump literally, we should have
taken him seriously. And smart
people were taking him seriously
instead of taking him literally.
But when he says something like
that, or when he says something
like, wanting a political
opponent like Liz Cheney, a
congresswoman who criticized him
to be tried in a televised
military tribunal. I don't know
whether to take that literally.
Or seriously. Either way, it's
bad news.
Adam Curry: You had something to
say I'm waiting. Well,
John C Dvorak: you know, I did
after the last clip. But let me
say I want to say yes. Did you
hear what would happen there?
What a mess it was.
Adam Curry: Well, and and here's
what else I want to say this
about that. Buddha judge when he
was on Bill Maher show, he was
quite impressive. And he was not
reading a script. He was just
talking and I can see where when
people just talk to him. He's,
he's, he's actually quite
endearing. He's the he was
enamoring in a way. I'm like,
well, the guys actually, he
didn't have any of these dumb
gaffes. But when he's in a
scripted environment, he sucks.
And that's what you heard. He's
like, he he's, he's probably an
actually a good guy. And when
he's doing something evil, his
his brain won't allow it any
good. goes off the rails.
John C Dvorak: Well, that's what
happened this time, and it was
obviously scripted. Yeah. And
she made a big point about him
being there as a private
citizen, give me a break. And
then he says, literally or
seriously, and they makes that a
dichotomy.
Adam Curry: Not three times he
John C Dvorak: did it. Oh, yes.
And she's like, unfortunately,
she is incompetent as a host.
And she didn't stop it, which he
should have done right away when
she heard it if she was
listening, but she's one of
these you know, she's scripted
to Yes. And so now it just
completely falls apart. And then
you have to just assume that
this is just, this is not
sincerity. This is just lying.
Either way, it's
Unknown: bad news. Either way,
if
he's saying I want to eliminate
a system, so nobody has to vote
again. That's a huge problem.
And we should take that both of
those of those ways.
Adam Curry: We should take that
both of those ways.
John C Dvorak: Both were Yeah,
would that mean otherwise you
take it literally and seriously.
Oh, so she just drops she blows
it up. Now I want to mention
something here that I've never
talked about. But when I was
writing editore, or op eds for
the San Francisco Examiner, I, I
ran into this book. And I had
worked with Tom bass was was
State Assemblyman he was also
became Tom Bates. Bates. He used
to be mayor of Berkeley, and his
wife was the mayor of Berkeley,
and he was Assemblyman for a
long time. And back in the 60s
or 70s, he wrote a book, which I
got a hold of, because somebody
tipped me off about it. I would
challenge people to try to find
this book. Bates is one of the
authors, I think there's about
three or four author authors.
It's called the wealth of
cities. And the wealth of cities
describes a process that done a
Democrat process of how to rape
City's coffers to benefit you,
the Democrat Party. And it
includes the idea that if you
got, you get a hold of the city,
you take it over, then you take
or take over a whole state like
the Democrats have done in
California. And then you put
your cronies in place, you give
them high paying jobs. And I've
run into guys in the area that
that are beneficiaries of this
policy. Include including too
many to mention, but I do know
this, they did set up a series
of low income housing that they
were going to give away to the
poor. And they built these
beautiful condos, I can point
them out to anybody who wants to
me to drive them by them.
They're in Berkeley, and instead
of the poor living in them, they
were given to various political
cronies in the Democrat party.
It was all part of the strategy
listed in this book, which is
they bought most of them back up
because there was this
embarrassment of the Democrat
party called the wealth of city
in his cities. And as this
happened in that in by that Raji
some weird Indian guru that took
over a town in Oregon. The guy
with the orange, the orange guy,
yeah, with the 45 mercy or not
Mercedes, but Rolls Royces.
Yeah, they took over a city and
they did the same thing. They
use the wealth the city strategy
you take over as you get enough
voters that vote yourself in and
then you steal all the tax money
and your tax even more which are
doing in California as well.
There's still potholes. And you
just put cronies in office and
give yourself big salaries. This
is a scam
Adam Curry: the Bhagwan guy
that's who it was the Bhagwan,
Bhagwan, yeah,
John C Dvorak: and it's this
huge the Hari Krishna is I think
is what the group was
Adam Curry: Hari Krishna is
Yeah, I think you're right. It
was the Hari Krishna is
John C Dvorak: and this is
unbelievable to me. I do these
people cannot be trusted. The
Democrat Party is the most
corrupt operation I've ever run
into having been a Democrat, a
good part of my life. Well,
Adam Curry: we we need a copy of
that, by the way. Oh, boy,
John C Dvorak: I can find it
bass about this book, when I was
writing for the examiner. And he
was really sheepish about it.
And I was just when I was a
young young man. And he you
know, said it was bullshit.
Adam Curry: Well, we need a copy
of this book and I now command
our producers to go find out
there is someone out there who
knows how to get their hands on
a copy. We'll see. And with
that, I'd like to thank you for
your courage and say in the
morning to you the man who put
the sea in the wealth of cities
say hello to my friend on the
other on the one and only Mr.
John
John C Dvorak: Roos said of
creating more ships he was so
rough in the essence of our
games nice out there hello there
trolls.
Adam Curry: 2560 which is a
little lower than the last
Sunday we did we had 2899 and
what that also shows Was you did
you fire out? You didn't fire
off the puppy Did you? I'm sorry
you didn't fire off the puppy
John C Dvorak: what puppy? Oh no
I didn't fire off the puppy I
almost fired off the puppy but I
should have because we never got
enough donations to really found
too much fire
Adam Curry: the fire off the
puppy club the seal everybody we
thank you to these trolls who
are here we appreciate you man
love that you guys are here find
us that book wealth of cities. I
would love to read that book.
John C Dvorak: You know the
funny thing is I may have a copy
that I've had photocopy from the
University of California
photocopying service Yeah, I'm
sure you have a copy last in the
house. Yep.
Adam Curry: Don't open the
closet whatever you do, don't go
looking for it please. We want
to have another show Thursday.
Those trolls are in the troll
room at troll room.io They were
a lot of them were on the stream
for bands of Bitcoin it was it
was quite a Hootenanny who had a
good time. I even did I went
against my my beliefs and I
streamed the booster Graham ball
live and I also did video
John C Dvorak: he did video
Yeah.
Adam Curry: Well, videos Oh
saying a lot. But I had. So I
had I was streaming my screen
with you know, my, my DJ set it
with me and a little corner of
my face.
John C Dvorak: So you're down in
the corner? Yeah, like the cat.
Exactly what you're talking
Adam Curry: cat, exactly. The
dog and cat wherever we need
bring back the talking cat,
everybody. So people were in the
troll room troll room.io. Of
course, they were using the
modern podcast apps because
that's where you can do live
streaming and get notified every
single time a new band came on,
you got a notification about it.
It was pretty it was pretty
cool. podcast apps.com is where
you get one of those support
your independent podcast apps.
If not, you'll be very sorry
when you see it because there
will be one of your favorite
podcasts just gonna poop just
gonna disappear from Apple, as
they might as well start
importing your, your favorite
podcasts from all of those
legacy apps. What do you laugh?
What are you laughing
John C Dvorak: live, we'll open
up the art generators he'll see.
Adam Curry: Okay. We run value
for value, which is a roller
coaster of life, it means we put
out the show with no expectation
other than that you'll support
us with value in return. And we
take that in time, talent and
treasure. You can do all we
actually we got a lot of meetup
reports, which is kind of fun,
which we'll be doing later on.
But before that, we want to
thank some other people who give
us valuable, very valuable work.
It is our artists. And we want
to thank the artists for episode
16 ad we titled that seismic
Sunday, which was mentioned in
the show and the art was brought
to us by yet another Dutch
master Matthew drop Co. He's
been Dutch masters since the
early 1700s. And there we have
it, it was a piece of AI was the
best one we felt we did look at
a couple other things. We'll
talk about that. But this was
while we think that was the
original Joe with Kamala Harris
as he's passing the ice cream
cone. A lot of people liked this
art they thought it was funny.
They immediately said hey, hey,
I still can't do hands and
fingers right? Which is true.
Kamala had three fingers Joe had
five
John C Dvorak: you what's funny
is that a friend of mine who
teaches art drawing at the Art
Center in Pasadena once told me
when you're looking at art to
purchase he says the hardest
thing for actual artists to do
is hands
Adam Curry: Yeah,
John C Dvorak: oh sure. Sure is
to do a realistic hand in
there's little hand miles and
all these things but as he says
that is the number one hard
thing so you always look at the
hands to see if the artist does
any good. And you'll find that
very few of them can do hands so
it doesn't really shouldn't be a
shock that the AI can't do hands
because artists themselves can't
do hands and it's hard
Adam Curry: to do this wealth of
cities that's not by Norquist is
it
John C Dvorak: I don't think so.
It's got Bates has got to be one
of the authors. Okay,
Adam Curry: yeah, cuz people are
sending me this. Oh, look at
Grover Norquist
John C Dvorak: is the guy who is
that? No. This book should be
from the 60s or 70s Not
anything.
Adam Curry: This is John
Norquist. Oh, it's
John C Dvorak: not Grover.
Adam Curry: No. No, let me see
when is it from his from?
Doesn't say anyway, I don't
think that's the one. No, the
wealth of cities Norquist
chronicles the decay of urban
centers. No, no,
John C Dvorak: no, that's not
it's not about decay. It's about
exploitation, fake news,
Adam Curry: fake news. Everybody
is fake news. So let's look at
some of the other submissions
that we didn't choose. I
remember I was pushing for
something pretty Hard was
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you were
pushing for the laughing
coconut.
Unknown: I love the laughing
Adam Curry: coconut and you
thought it was gruesome? It was
John C Dvorak: there's nothing
more gruesome than a big human
mouth on something other than a
human.
Adam Curry: I thought it was
great it was.
John C Dvorak: I thought like
sometimes you really fall for
gruesome art.
Adam Curry: But it wasn't that
gruesome and you know this you
had two credits.
John C Dvorak: Creepy. Okay, it
wasn't gruesome. You're right.
It's creepy. So
Adam Curry: you had two credits.
And I just said you now have one
credit line No, no, no, yet no,
this does not qualify as, as you
said gruesome and now you're
backpedaling.
John C Dvorak: It's gruesome and
creepy. That's it's gruesome and
creepy. was trying to get out of
the hole.
Adam Curry: So it was Kamala.
She's also creepy. Let's see
what else there was. Now the one
that you wanted, which you use
ultimately for the newsletter
was the totally Joe where it's a
Joe Biden sitting behind three
mics and you you got this author
from drop CO by the way. You got
it right away, because this is a
throwback callback.
John C Dvorak: Yes. And yeah, I
had to explain it to you. Yep,
you did. And it's a callback to
a Star Trek episode. From the
late I think probably the first
or second season, where some
some Star Trek captain had to
move to some, some planet to
help modernize it, but they
ended up turning into a Nazi
state. They drugged him and then
put him behind microphones to
turn over the government to a
bunch of fascists. And that is
what this represents. And so
only like, Star Trek junkies or
lunatics that have a long memory
of would remember this wasn't a
good pick for the for the show,
because it's too obscure. It's
an obscure joke. Yes, it was the
one the one I liked and I was
trying to promote was the
Taunton Neil, no agenda Kamala
Adam Curry: comme la la, comme
Mala. You're saying it wrong?
No, it's
John C Dvorak: Camela. Well, I
Adam Curry: didn't like that it
John C Dvorak: rhymes with
Pamela. Pamela Camelus. Easy way
to remember how to do it right.
Adam Curry: The Dutch master
Taunton, Neil, I was against it
because it has a gruesome green
color, which is her color, which
is the Bratz color.
John C Dvorak: You know, I had
to relent? Yes, you did. And
Adam Curry: then you said, Well,
how about the one next to it
from Darren I like she's wearing
a British flag outfit is no
good.
John C Dvorak: Well, then we
let's go back to this green.
This green is really bad. And
it's really if it was anything
and then you also mentioned that
the Comala doll. I said Kumala
is that it? Can Camela Yeah,
that Camela doll is didn't look
like her? No,
Adam Curry: no at all at all.
No, no, that was Taunton. Neil
just threw some stuff together.
John C Dvorak: So it was a
botch. Yeah, yeah. It was a
botch.
Adam Curry: And I don't think
there was anything else pop up.
John C Dvorak: I did like the
ACT Blue Grass Roots cleaning
professional showing the money
laundering. And you just nixed
that period. Boom. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Well, clearly you
agree with me, because you got
chits, you got credits. So you
would have pulled you would have
thrown into credit. Which you
did. You did. You threw in a
crib. You threw in lies. And I
did also like Scarem, Angus
Camela, which is the camel with
are coming out of his mouth. I
thought that Yeah. And
John C Dvorak: I thought it was
just a pun. That was no good.
Well, we will punt.
Adam Curry: We congratulate
Matthew Dropo. On the winning
the
John C Dvorak: lottery, we had
some art to talk about at least
Yeah,
Adam Curry: we did. And it looks
like we'll have more to talk
about for this show is indeed
Yes. Funny stuff. Of course, we
also like to thank our executive
and Associate Executive
producers because it is time
talent and treasure. Treasure
does need to flow in order for
us to pay bills just like
everybody else. And as you know,
we can't do advertising or
anything else because the show
wouldn't have been on the air
for almost 17 years. So we also
give out credits for these
amounts, even though we're happy
with anything that's how value
for value works. Whatever you
can afford, whatever you find is
the value that you receive from
the show is good with us. That's
all it is good with us. But like
Hollywood, we'd like to thank
our executive and Associate
Executive Producers $200 and
above your Associate Executive
Producer real credit, you can
use it anywhere including
imdb.com and we read your notes
300,000 above executive producer
credit and we read your note and
that of course is also valid
wherever credits are accepted.

Adam Curry: speaking of the
lighter side of life after
resolving a minor tech issue
recently for my smokin hot
girlfriend, she said, You are

Nashville Tennessee 333 dot 33
John and Adam I spent yesterday
afternoon in Mount Juliet. So
Mount Juliet is a city in
Tennessee. It exists next to
another city called Nashville.
Nashville is a bigger city.
Nashville is a powerful city.
This Nashville producer decided
to invade a meet up in Mount
Juliet. So basically that's
everything that no agenda stands
for. This is a take off on
Kamala with Russia and Ukraine.
Got it? Thank you, Lady Vox for
hosting the meetup. It was great
to meet all the other producers
both local and from afar. Steve
Banswara Baron of BNA. Thank you
brother.
John C Dvorak: It was good.

I'm going to come and yet karma.
It's only 40 seconds. Well, we
don't play this one off and just
go for John, tell us your peeve
about the fisting method of

John C Dvorak: see this on the
airplane and it's very annoying
and I think it will result in in
fights breaking out because it
just so annoying to watch. guy
takes his bag of peanuts and
throws a pile of them into his
palm of his hand and then he
makes a fist around the nuts.
And then he shakes his fist to
try to bring a nut to the little
stuff. He draws a nut in his
mouth from his bed. Then he does
it again he shakes it throws the
shakes and throws. It is
annoying as hell to watch.
Unknown: It was hard to get it

aroused, but we got an arrest.
I'm gonna come.
Adam Curry: Wait, where was the
karma don't come second, I'm
sorry,
Unknown: do not come,
I'm gonna come.
You've got karma.
John C Dvorak: By the way, the
entire extent of her being the
czar of the border, was that one
comment. She, as far as she's
concerned, she did her job.
Adam Curry: But you know, it
just as an aside, because people
sent me this legislation, which
is House resolution 253. And if
you look at House resolution
253. It says, whereas on March,
this was expressing the sense of
the House of Representatives
that Vice President Kamala
Harris should be removed from
her position as the head of the
Biden administration strategy to
address the root causes of
migration whereas our March
24 2021, Vice President Kamala
Harris was named borders are in
charge of leading efforts to
stem migration across the United
States Mexico border. So this
was a resolution that never made
it past introduction. But people
are saying let's see, she was
the borders are one of that was
a bunch of Republicans, you
know, calling her that in this
resolution, but in general, she
was put in charge of the border
and everybody knows it. But
yeah, I
John C Dvorak: don't that this
is another example of what I
said earlier, which is a guest
is gaslighting, and as an it's
like, done deliberately, I've
got there were some sincerity
involved, and I'm now doubting
myself about that thesis. I
think they're doing this
purposefully. And they're
insincere and they're bastards.
Adam Curry: There you go.
John C Dvorak: Gary miles up.
He's in Port y Nimi, which I
always mispronounces who
Indymedia money,
Adam Curry: but he gave us a
little bit of gave us a handy
Pronunciation Guide.
John C Dvorak: Everybody I do
that with some of these towns
because when you look at this
age guide, anybody had to take a
pen write this down? Hu e n, e
m, e is pronounced y nimi. But
you would look at it and say Chu
name Hina Me Me, me, or
something? Yeah, like the chick
from Harry Potter. To 11 is what
he came in with greetings,
cracking beause I savor the show
so much I limit my listening to
when I'm washing dishes.
Adam Curry: By the way, that's
when I listen to I listen to the
podcast doing dishes and walking
the dog that's all it's all the
time. I can't I can't multitask
driving if but I don't drive
that much. So
John C Dvorak: you don't have a
dishwasher.
Adam Curry: I tried to avoid
that conversation. But yeah, we
do. I just when I'm clearing out
the dish, you're putting dishes
in the dishwasher and I'm taking
them out and putting everything
away.
John C Dvorak: You're putting
dishes in the dishwasher and to
you This means you're washing
the dishes Yeah, well in some
way you actually are washing the
dishes but in fact all right,
and we continue he says when I'm
washing the dishes or watering
the garden I've been donating
monthly since 2015. And finally
added up everything is now 2726
These night oh he hasn't even
been knighted. Yeah, no, please
Knight me so sir Topo G Joe

husband, poor gay. Hit me in the
mouth a few years ago. I figured
it's time to donate because
because douchebaggery is not my
style. You think
Adam Curry: she needs to deduce
she's not asking for it, but
John C Dvorak: I would think
she'd get it. Yeah, I would give
her one anyway.
Unknown: You've been de deuced
John C Dvorak: I've been a fan
of Adams headbangers ball and
respect both of you. Thank you
for what you do and keep it real
rock.
Adam Curry: Rock on sister rock
on. And there he is Eli, the
coffee guy from Bensenville
Illinois 207 28. I'd like to
shout out a product made by a
fellow producer. We came across
a long drink while on vacation
in the Upper Peninsula. I heard
about this fine adult beverage
during a donation segment a few
years ago when the owner
mentioned it. I have to say they
make a dynamite product. I'm not
normally a gin drinker, but it's
a great summertime super, very
refreshing with a perfectly
balanced flavor. Now fishing.
Now fishing in the afternoon is
even better. And for a great
morning beverage visit gigawatt
coffee roasters.com use code ITM
20 for 20% off of your coffee
order. Stay caffeinated, says
Eli the coffee guy. And
John C Dvorak: I will recommend
if anybody has a chance to go
into the Upper Peninsula of MIT
of Florida. No, no, he's talking
about Illinois. Where no he's
talking about Upper Peninsula
Michigan. Oh, is that where he
is? Okay, and it's dynamite it's
just a dynamite place is really
weird. It's kind of like old
fashioned especially if it's
like especially if you're
hammered on jam or Don gin Yeah,
it would be probably useful as
Linda Lou packings up she's in
Lakewood Colorado 200 bucks for
normal donation which and she's
always does this she asked for
jobs karma and free and then
says for faster, more effective
job search visit image makers
inc.com That's image Biggers
Inc, with a que your go to for
executive resumes a job by the
way, go check that website as
really pretty, very slick. And
work with Linda Lou, Duchess of
jobs and writer resume so you
can find her on the list.
Somebody wrote me a note. Hey,
what was that website name? And
I said really? Yeah. And I said,
Wow, so much repetition. Wow,
Adam Curry: there you go.
advertising works everybody
jobs, jobs, jobs
Unknown: and jobs.
Adam Curry: Now this is a little
weird. Unless you came in again,
because I remember Tiara car
from Baltimore from the last
show with $200 with a birthday
wish to her fiance Alex Schlegel
so either because he's on the
30th which would make sense
since that's in between shows
but it was on the last list so
I'm not sure if she donated
again
John C Dvorak: you know, if
somebody donates near the
midnight hour it can you have
all kinds of problems she
sometimes you get double credit.
Adam Curry: Credited. I'm gonna
I'm going to get the benefit of
the doubt. Hi, hello. Hello. I'd
like to wish my amazing fiance
Alex Schlegel a very happy 44th
birthday on July 30 and donate
$200 And no agenda on his
behalf. He has been an avid
listener for a long time I hope
he can now be deduced we're
going to DD Duchenne for deed Do
you so much as Tiara car and
that concludes our
John C Dvorak: and by the way
that should be a switcheroo.
Adam Curry: Yes, I'm pretty sure
he's okay. It's fine. We
John C Dvorak: gonna say
Adam Curry: is we Yes. Well, we
err on the side of the produced
caution. Yeah, we caution Yes,
we caution indeed. Well, thank
you very much these executive
and Associate Executive
producers of episode 61,681.
What an amazing ride. It has
been. It's mind blowing, I tell
you, it's mind blowing. Thank
you very much for supporting us.
Thank you to all of the
producers. If no one is a
listener or a fan. We're not
fans you're not tippers. No you
return value for value want to
learn more go to value for value
dot info, value number four
value dot info. We'll be
thanking more people $50 And
above because we never read
anything under 50 For reasons of
anonymity, and remember it is
sustaining donations that really
matter. So although We always

associate execs if everybody did
a sustaining donation it would
be fantastic thank you again for
supporting the no agenda podcast
our
Unknown: formula is this we go
out we get people in the mouth
Adam Curry: and I got a little
bit of technology news

want to share with you because
you know it's hard to get
technology news these days tech
news no
John C Dvorak: nobody wants to
cover it well who said boost it
they want to boost it boosted
yeah hey, this is great.
Adam Curry: Well, you're the AI
is my beat. I think it's it's a
farce I think it's falling
apart. I think it's is going to
take down the entire economy.
That's how the economy is gonna
crash. And I've always talked
about a pivot. Well, breaking
news everybody.
Unknown: For today, a former
steel mill site on Chicago's far
south side will have a new
purpose as home to a
groundbreaking quantum computer.
Business
leaders say the development
could make have major impacts on
Chicagoland and the future
industries as well. W Janice
Christine floors is joining us
live and details. Christine.
Well, good evening, we are at
steel workers park where by the
year 2027. This will be the new
home of the quantum computer
campus. Now this was the former
site of the US Steel Workers
South plant which closed more
than 30 years ago.
Right here beneath our feet will
be a catalyst for a potential
revolution in science and
technology and the betterment of
life for all humankind.
The quantum computing campus
will be located off 87th street
and shout out to Savile Lake
Shore Drive in the city's
forests outside and will be
built by California based tech
company site Quantum. It's the
site of the former US Steel self
works plant.
With this multibillion dollar
investment from courtside
quantum quantum computing will
be the premier industry of
Chicago's future.
During a press conference
Thursday afternoon, officials
estimated the facility to be
about 300,000 square feet and
employ up to 150 people within
five years. But an even longer
term plan is for it to provide
answers to a number of career
fields.
The potential applications are
vast and transformative from
developing new life saving
drugs, a next generation
electric batteries and solar
cells, this quantum computer
will change the world lives
works and heals. We're
Adam Curry: going to change the
way you heal everybody. This
John C Dvorak: is entirely AI.
Now let me let me get this
straight. So you're gonna put in
this quantum computer and nobody
knows that these things even
work at all. Oh, no, they don't
even know you're gonna, they
don't even know you're gonna go
in there. And out of the blue
out of the blue. It's going to
create new drugs.
Adam Curry: And it's new ways of
healing. The investors so they
have not developed the quantum
computer yet. But their
investors are black rock. The
Founders Fund, though they're
finally getting the dumb money
and that's Microsoft's venture
fund red point. Third point
atomica government partnerships
with the US Department of
Energy, Queensland Government
soaked the taxpayer while you're
at it as right, that's right, we
need to get in on this side
quantum has one mission to build
and deploy the first useful
quantum computers was founded in
2015. How are we doing boys 10
years later. But they're
building 1000s of wafers of
quantum chips. Okay, perfect.
But that wasn't the only
completely hilarious bogus tech
news. This one I love this
because it's shaken up
everything in Silicon Valley.
Whoa, boy boy, breaking news.
Got some
Unknown: breaking news right now
on open AI speaking of AI and
chat GPT and Steve Kovac has the
details. Steve's pay their damn
Yeah, open AI is getting into
the search business. They just
announced here in a blog post
minutes ago that they were
testing a prototype version of a
search product. You can see
Google shares just reacting here
done better than 2%. Now, as
soon as this announcement
crossed, this looks like it's an
early version. They're having
users sign up for a waitlist. If
you've ever used the start of
the app from the startup
perplexity Dom, you're probably
very familiar with how these AI
search engines work. You ask a
question, it gives you the
direct answer you can ask follow
up questions. You're seeing some
examples here from the open AI
product here. And then it also
real time results from the web
and gives you the sources from
those results as well. Opening I
hear says they are working with
publishers and other websites to
make sure they have proper
access to all of this
information and properly
credited and so forth. It does
sound like early days, but just
the fact that opening I hear is
getting involved in the search
business. If you can see what
it's doing here to Google, by
the way, opening eyes biggest
investor of Microsoft, they own
49% of open AI, they just
announced a similar feature that
I'm talking about right now for
their Bing search engine
yesterday. So this is a very hot
item for search. By the way, the
alphabet earnings just a couple
of days ago, they were talking
about their AI search project
product and how that's driving
engagement. But still very few
details whether or not that's
going to be a big moneymaker for
Google but we clearly see what
the market thinks with opening
getting into the search getting
done. I love
John C Dvorak: this. This is an
example of the kind of reporting
I'm talking about. It's just
boosterism Yeah, but I love guy
does know, you know, if you ask
this thing, 10 questions,
there'll be nine of them
completely wrong.
Adam Curry: Here's what we're
doing wrong. We have a great
search engine Bing it.io Now we
I think let me just check it.
Let me just check being it dot
add sir D nonnamous. Put this
together. It's a real product by
the bing.io. And yes, and it's
actually his product. He's He's
Montes monetizing this product.
Now. It's called clip Genie. And
it's powered by AI. But the
beauty of the no agenda show
with its 17 years of history,
and we have 17 years of
transcripts, clips, and news
articles in there. And did I
mention it's powered by AI?
John C Dvorak: We should get
some sort of venture money.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: breakfast, get some
venture money. Just give me a
topic, any topic. And I'll show
you that our AI search is better
than any of these guys. Just
give me a topic. Any topic.
Unknown: Any topic,
Adam Curry: any topic, any
topic.
John C Dvorak: Candy
manufacturing,
Adam Curry: Candy menu
fracturing, okay, we type it in
to Well, the first hit we have
is 1497 Bug peeps. And 3d 3d
printed candy bars it we were
talking about that. So that's
the thing. I think it's a good
hit good results. 1434 we have
technology the size of a candy
bar. I'm telling you, this is a
great search engine. But what
did you want to know
specifically?
John C Dvorak: I just You just
asked for a topic. I didn't have
any, any desire. FDA
Adam Curry: approves candy
flavored amphetamine for kids.
I'm telling you, we have the
best
John C Dvorak: so that's always
a good we should revisit that
topic.io
Adam Curry: Everybody is
fantastic. Seriously, it's
better than this nonsense. And
unlike those guys, it's free.
Because they failed to mention
there's no business model in it
for them. And final piece of
tech news tech news because tech
news just big tech AI in the
socials. The Justice Department
is in its fight now. It's a
lawsuit with tick tock. And so
they're they're releasing just
some basic bullcrap information.
Unknown: The Justice Department
accuses tick tock of secretly
collecting sensitive bulk data
on American users. For China.
The data includes views of
divisive topics like gun
control, abortion, and religion.
The Justice Department says this
would allow China in theory to
manipulate tic TOCs feed to
create division and undermine
American democracy. This was the
DOJ his first response to the
lawsuit filed by parent company
bytedance, who is suing the US
government over a bill banning
Tiktok. If the Chinese firm does
not sell the American portion of
its operation.
Adam Curry: So notice that they
say in theory they could be
selling, they could be giving
this to China, and that's saying
they gave it to China. Whereas
not even theoretical Google and
Microsoft and Microsoft in
particular, are actually selling
your information to the highest
bidder on the open markets,
including
John C Dvorak: China, including
China. Microsoft has a lot of
its operations in China.
Adam Curry: Yes, horrible. All
right. I think I feel obliged we
need to discuss the Olympics
briefly as we had the UI for
John C Dvorak: you that you want
to stay on China. China. Yeah, I
have some China clips I want to
get out of the way all right.
Because this is important. This
is this has not been covered by
anybody.
Adam Curry: Yes, this you sent
me this video and I looked at it
and I was like, I was like wow,
who knew? It's in the show
notes. It is in the show notes.
It's worth 13 minutes of Wow. Is
John C Dvorak: yes it's 30
minutes Wow. And it this is the
part I thought was the most
interesting that begins with a
bunch of fires that are going on
in China China's on the verge of
a civil war according to at
least this this comment Data um,
where was this from this video I
forget, because it's Chinese one
of these Chinese operation. I
mean, it's not from China. It's
called China today of China
Watch or something and they,
they're so negative. They're not
pro China by any means you can
tell. But they, they're
something that has shown up on
NHK and elsewhere is these
unbelievable debts that the
small Chinese provinces are,
have developed in the trillions
and trillions and is believed
that the Chinese government as a
whole is in the hole for as much
as we are with our ridiculous
data.
Adam Curry: You know, why?
Because
John C Dvorak: they don't have
any bitcoin. Yeah, that's the
reason. So here we go. China's
Civil War one
Unknown: back in the days under
the collective economy in rural
China, it is estimated that over
30 to 40 million farmers starve
to death. Xi Jinping has not
acknowledged this period and
public statements. Critics argue
that his policies reflect a
continuation of practices from
the mouth donor area, which they
claim led to significant loss of
life. In preparation for this so
called internal war, Xi Jinping
has been laying the groundwork
for some time, and a recent
military political work
conference in yen and besides
the official statements
published by state media
attendees reported that he also
gave an impromptu speech. This
speech has circulated through
various channels corroborated by
multiple independent sources and
it seems to be appreciated
revelation, its content aligns
closely wishes actual political
maneuvers. In the speech, He
admonished the entire CCP. We
are in yen and today for a
military meeting, preparing for
internal war, you must realize
that we are facing severe
economic and political crisis
and internal wall, the wall has
already begun. If we do not
respond with war, our party and
government will go bankrupt.
You've seen the establishment of
police tax combat centers
nationwide. This is a wartime
state comrades. We will not
overcome this crisis if we do
not use combat to collect taxes.
Just like the Comintern
blockade, Yan, and back then it
Adam Curry: really works better
with the visuals because you see
the tanks rolling out and you
see the the marching soldiers
and everything.
John C Dvorak: Yes, and you also
see the hyper rich Chinese. The
idea here is that they think
that they that they're gonna go
broke China, which a lot of
people have suspected. And so so
she's decided to collect get the
money back from the Chinese
billionaires,
Adam Curry: why don't they just
print more money like like we
do? Well, they
John C Dvorak: do that, too,
doesn't help. So they're going
to
Adam Curry: tax your church.
This is our future that the US
government will just roll out
the tanks to collect the money
from the billionaires.
John C Dvorak: I don't know if
that's the case here. It's not
they're not making plans for it.
But they are in China, according
to this report, God land there.
They want to take the
billionaire class and they
wanted to soak up and take all
their money at gunpoint, at
gunpoint and redistribute the
wealth. I mean, this is of
course, more likely in a
communist society, which is
still is kind of and so there's
no there's too many billionaires
in China. I think there's more
there than there are here. And
so they're going to just soak
them in here we go with part
two.
Unknown: Now the US and Western
economies are blockading us. We
are fighting on two fronts just
like before. Now the police and
tax authorities are cooperating
to trace back 30 years and
reclaim the surplus value from
the wealthy wasn't agree that
the rich would help the poor.
Now we have to confiscate their
wealth through combat forcefully
if we don't, how can we survive
this crisis? If the police tax
cooperation fails to resolve the
economic dilemma we must
implement a wartime economy if
necessary, the military must
step in. If economic discontent
builds up to a critical mass
with mass bankruptcies of
individuals, banks and
enterprises. A storm will arise
that could threaten our state
power, our country and our party
cannot go bankrupt. Although the
authenticity of the leaked
internal speech attributed to Xi
Jinping cannot be verified, it
appears to reflect elements of
his governance strategy. This
speech suggests a focus on
addressing internal challenges
through stringent measures
indicates a strategy that
includes using forceful means to
collect tax and reclaim citizens
property. Additionally, the
concept of a wartime economy
aligns with the karmic,
political and military measures
she has implemented in recent
years. Observers suggest that if
an economic crisis escalates, it
could lead to a significant
social unrest and potential
violence. If I may
Adam Curry: drop some knowledge
on you. China has 406
billionaires according to Forbes
as of April 20 You 24 They are
number two on the list. Number
one is the United States, in
fact, with 813 billionaires?
John C Dvorak: Well, they're not
going to be 400 much longer,
Adam Curry: you know as number
three
John C Dvorak: Saudi Arabia,
India. Oh, yeah,
Adam Curry: that makes sense.
Saudi Arabia are they even on
the chart, now they're
John C Dvorak: billing, you get
one. So, so they, so the thing
that's going to happen because
this happened, when, in 9798
era, when the Communists were
gonna get Hong Kong back, there
was a flight, most of them went
to Canada and free Canadians
offered full citizenship for I
think, $250,000 If I'm not
mistaken, maybe more by the time
it started. Really getting
going. And they just fled. And
that's what's going to happen
with these, these 400
billionaires are going to take
their, as much money as they can
get out of the country, which is
not easy to do, but they it's
doable. And leave year,
Adam Curry: they're gonna come
here, you're
John C Dvorak: gonna come here,
put your money in our stuff. And
your next thing, you know,
you're gonna have a bunch of
rich Chinese over here that will
be spending, you know, the same
way they did over there is gonna
be over here. Hey, Lee Lee want
to buy some bitcoin? It's gonna
be it's gonna be a bonanza. For
us, Hey,
Adam Curry: we can take some
investment for our AI powered
search engine.
John C Dvorak: Now you're
talking let's go into last clip.
Unknown: This speech
acknowledges that during Mao's
era, everything could be covered
up, all crimes were hidden. The
CCPs propaganda is filled with
so much misleading information.
And even the unprecedented
tragedy of millions starving to
death was sold off completely,
so much so that young people
today still can't believe it,
attributing it to natural
disasters. However, a total
censorship is no longer possible
in a crisis a truth cannot be
hidden. Under the CCP role, the
Chinese populace has faced the
victim restrictions on human
rights. Currently surging pains,
administration faces substantial
challenges in maintaining
credibility, both domestically
and internationally. There is
notable disparity between state
propaganda and the actual
conditions within the country.
As a result, many Chinese
citizens are increasingly
skeptical of state media and are
seeking alternative sources of
information. Yeah,
Adam Curry: and so there was
shown a whole bunch of video of
explosions and all kinds of
weird stuff happens
John C Dvorak: in great videos,
but everyone's got a camera
phone, and you know, what are
you gonna do? You can't stop
that people pass them around.
They get on the net. You
Adam Curry: said that just like
Obama phone?
John C Dvorak: That's a camera
phone.
Adam Curry: Yes. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: So they guess
this could be bogus, but it's at
least something we should be
aware of? Well,
Adam Curry: they put a lot of
effort into creating this video
if it's bogus, so I'm not quite
sure if Well,
John C Dvorak: that and, and it
is well known that there are a
huge, and there's a lot of
research companies that have
been looking into it. They've
done studies on just the amount
of light output in the various
areas.
Adam Curry: Yeah. As Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's, you can tell how
things are going. You
John C Dvorak: can tell things
are going bad how lit up it is,
and it's not looking good. So
well, here's something to think
about. Well,
Adam Curry: we need to keep them
big and scary, because you know,
we got to build huge ships.
John C Dvorak: Well, we can do
that anyway. So the Yeah, you're
right, we would this information
may or may actually be a
detriment to our schemes.
Adam Curry: Let's hope not. We
need ships and subs. Big,
beautiful, sleek service,
cheaper than any other subs they
go. To the Olympics started.
John C Dvorak: Oh my god.
Adam Curry: Let's listen to the
NPR report of the four hour
opening show. Extraordinary,
Unknown: audacious impertinent,
full of surprises. You know,
Paris became an open air theater
last night with performances
along rooftops, the riverbanks
the monuments. 12 amazing
tableaus unfolded with seams
like liberty and darkness. Lady
Gaga on either last few day
performing with pink plumes on a
piano, a French Revolution scene
with a hard rock band and Marie
Antoinette decapitated heads
speaking from a window in the
castle where she was actually
held prisoner before her
guillotine, a hooded medieval
character ran across the Paris
rooftops with the Olympic flame,
a glowing White Horseman gallop
down the middle of the river
dancers hung beautifully from
the scaffolding of Notre DOM of
any room for the you know, the
athletes.
Of course, there were 85 boats
carrying 6800 Waving athletes
from 205 nations they sailed by
in the river procession in the
middle of it all. They looked
excited with smiles on their
faces, something we haven't seen
in the last two Olympics because
of COVID. Scott did I mentioned
the stunning light show at the
Eiffel Tower? Yeah, it all
landed with the flame coming
back down the river in a
speedboat driven by tennis star
Serena Williams Rafael Nadal USA
sprinter Carl Lewis and Romanian
gymnast Nadia Coleman each
remember her to the twin gardens
where it was lifted up into the
dark Paris sky over the Louvre
in a hot air balloon, while
Celine Dion who hasn't sung and
for years, belted out a classic
from French icon Edith Piaf. Oh,
my word.
Adam Curry: Oh, my word NPR
really have their finger on the
pulse of the nation, as you can
tell, because there was a little
controversy but before we get to
that there's little there's more
of this NP there's more of this
NPR report got to
Unknown: tell you that Marie
Antoinette stuff shook me up a
bit. Such a spectacular Oh,
yeah. Any problems? Well,
the rain it came down on us the
whole time, but it didn't bother
everyone. We spoke to Daniela
Rodriguez from New Jersey.
Listen to her. It
was rainy but it was worth it.
Definitely.
I like to lean beyond everything
on the river, the horse, of
course, just floating through
the water. But carrying the
plane through the river trail,
you
know, and this morning, Scott, I
spoke to my neighbor 70 year old
piano peacock who said she was
going to her TV for four hours
last night listen to her
since she needed to simply mom
mushy
said it was sure magic, a huge
moment for France. And she added
that she was also relieved that
everything went well
Adam Curry: and PR no just going
to their neighbors for
reporting. There were
Unknown: those attacks on the
high speed train network in the
early hours of yesterday. How
did that affect the ceremony?
Yeah,
that sabotage, coordinated
sabotage, you know, briefly
crippled train service. This
huge investigation is underway.
But you know, it didn't affect
the ceremony, but it made people
a little jittery. Before the
opening. The security has been
massive. They had to anticipate
threats from the sky, the ground
the water, even under the water.
They used sonar and anti drones.
There were 50,000 police
officers and soldiers on the
streets of the capital. Scott
they close the Paris airspace
for six hours. That's
unprecedented.
Adam Curry: Oh my god, the
security was amazing. Before we
get to another clip about the
opening, here's a brief I
thought funny little. I call it
a gap but I think it could be
used of the security the
security. Oh my, please. Let's
go to the streets and tell us
about the security.
Unknown: Hey, good morning,
Robin. Yeah, you mentioned that
tight security. This is what
that looks like. Check it out.
The Octo Trump is just behind
me.
Adam Curry: Now. What did you
hear her say?
Unknown: Bark to Trump? Yes,
exactly.
Adam Curry: Like to Trump.
Unknown: I like Trump
Adam Curry: as great art to
Trump. What a moron. So did you
see any of the opening games?
John the the opening of the
games.
John C Dvorak: Did you see the
opening ceremonies where you
said yes. The
Adam Curry: opening ceremony.
Did
John C Dvorak: you see? Yes, it
was dreadful. They had cancan
dancers that were uncoordinated
falling, kicking with the wrong
leg not kicking a guy. It was
they couldn't kick it all it was
it would that was one thing then
they had a sacrilegious scene of
drag queens pretending to be at
the Last Supper Christ Last
Supper. It was totally blast
from us. Then they had a some
sort of a play that was taking
place with a couple with a guy
dressed as a harlequin in a
library and some girl flirting
with him. And then a guy
flirting with him and he runs
off with the guy and some sort
of gay tryst, the whole thing
was gross. I couldn't eat at
some point. I just turned it off
because it was just ridiculous.
It was terrible.
Adam Curry: Yeah. And that was
the general consensus. I don't
know why were NPR gets their
reporting from they didn't watch
it. I don't think they did
either. I think they just read
the rundown of what was going to
happen because without a doubt,
on social on the social medias,
there was a lot of mean people
just like well, this is not
good. Is what is happening here.
Now. I got this clip. It's a
local clip. Because one of the I
think ceasefires one of the big
ads or certainly a large
advertiser on the Olympic Games,
and they're pulling out of there
who see spire so i don't know i
Yeah. What do they do their
other tech company? I think
colons C Spire. They are Yeah,
have a internet wireless
business. It solutions. I think
they're pretty big.
Unknown: I never heard of them,
but okay. They got built.
Adam Curry: They got huge, huge
buildings, huge buildings. When
you see the logo, you're like,
oh, yeah, I've seen that logo.
This was surprisingly unlike NPR
not surprising. I like NPR. A
balanced report specifically
about the Last Supper part.
Unknown: I love Lady Gaga and
Celine Dion, but I thought it
was very disrespectful and
sacrilegious. Mississippians
are responding to the Paris
Olympics opening ceremony the
ceremony not only getting
backlash from viewers, but also
local companies. See spire into
social media announcing that
they are pulling advertising
from the Olympics. That
technology company feeling like
the sporting event made a
mockery of the Last Supper. Some
believe a portion of the Olympic
open was emulating the final
meal. Jesus shared with his
disciples before his
crucifixion, saying what they
saw during the performance does
not align with Christian values
at all. I
think it's just indicative of
how people tend to criticize a
Christians religion rather than
any other religion, it wouldn't
have wouldn't have flown if it
had been against the Muslim
religion or another religion.
Others feel the opening ceremony
is being misunderstood and has
nothing to do with Christianity.
There's confusion over the Greek
representation that was meant by
that piece. So probably just
checking in a little bit more
about the cultural piece that
was being pulled into that. But
I don't think that it was
pulling in the Italian Last
Supper, art at all. We reached
out to sea spider, the President
and CEO Susie Hasting see spider
is supportive of our athletes
who have worked so hard to be a
part of the Olympics. However,
we will not be a part of the
offensive and unacceptable
mockery of the Last Supper,
which is why we're pulling our
advertising from the Olympics.
Gov. Tate Reeves also went to
Twitter standing in full support
of ceasefires decision, saying I
am proud to see the private
sector and Mississippi step up
and put their foot down. God
will not be mocked, oh,
Adam Curry: he's quoting
Galatians six, God will not be
mocked. And you know, the power
went out supposedly are
apparently a lot of pictures in
most of Paris. And people were
posting that on social media
saying God will not be mocked.
Now, the organizers themselves
those responsible for this
opening ceremony say it was a
big misunderstanding. This was
not the Last Supper. It was a
depiction of the ancient Greek
but I call a baka now, of
course, the games are Greek
games. Bukka NALEO. Now the blue
guy the blue dude, that would be
the god of wine. And these
Bacchus Bacchus Yes, and the,
this is the Dion Dion is us, the
Greek god IO nesis. That's what
I'm saying. The Greek god of
fertility, later known as the
god of wine and pleasure. And so
this was a depiction of the
hedonism of the day of the
Olympic Games. Now, of course,
we all saw that, you know, we
had the fat, the fat dude with a
golden crown in the middle. I
mean, there was definitely a
little wink there towards the
Last Supper. Also, it wasn't it
wasn't death on the pale horse
that was Sequana Goddess of the
Sand the river anyway big Miss
big miss by the Olympics and
what really stuck out forget the
religious aspect. See, like,
what was what was with all the
dudes and the gayness and the
trainees is that I mean, I
France may be humorless and burn
their churches but I didn't
think they were stupid. I mean,
this was
John C Dvorak: just It was
unbelievable. It was probably
the worst opening ceremony for
the last 20 years especially
when it compared to what China
did. Oh, which was not only
elaborate but tasteful this was
this was not tasteful. That's
exactly bring
Adam Curry: back the days of
Lionel Richie flying in with the
white piano Come on people that
this was it made no sense now. I
mean, but forever this will be
known as the Olympics that
mocked the Last Supper they just
blew it. They blew it big time.
And I say blew it intentionally
there was and they had kids with
all the with the with the drag
queens. It was it was weird.
Like why why? Why? And I don't
want to watch the Olympics now
it's put a bad taste in my mouth
again. Pun intended.
John C Dvorak: Full upon I am so
Adam Curry: a little more color
about a little more color about
the organization. There was
another gaffe of course, I mean,
if the French screw up once
they're gonna go all the way
John C Dvorak: United five
Olympic organizers say they are
deeply sorry for a major mistake
during yesterday's opening
ceremonies. The public address
announcer identified South
Korean athletes as representing
the Democratic People's Republic
of Korea. That's the official
name for North Korea. South
Korea goes by the Republic of
Korea. Olympic leadership says
that mix up was a regrettable
mistake. South Korean officials
have requested a meeting with
the International Olympic
Committee. Today is the 71st
anniversary of the Korean
armistice. I
Adam Curry: think the pope
should call for a meeting. I
want a meeting. I'm the Pope. I
want a meeting what are you
people thinking? So this there
sorry about Oh, really? Really
sorry about that. Sorry about
that Korea didn't
John C Dvorak: mean to do it.
Yeah, that's what they're sorry
about. They should be sorry
about the whole thing. And
Adam Curry: then NBC in their
infinite wisdom somehow, not
only I mean, I don't know who
did the deal was Snoop Dogg to
carry the Olympic flame. But he
also is an official commentator
