2:35
We're talking about Jason Calacanis. For those who don't

3:00
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah. Okay. They got audio back on Rogen.
3:07

3:10
Adam Curry: me give Joe a call. Hey, hey, Joe. John says I gotta
3:13

John C Dvorak: on Tucker.
3:19
Adam Curry: Ha I'd love to go on Tucker. He should have me on
3:22
just just because he loves podcasting so much. He should
3:25
John C Dvorak: hide. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah.
3:28
Adam Curry: Now he's busy. He's busy doing stuff. Um, we're
3:32
small potatoes, face it. small potatoes or nothing. Okay, if
3:38
all the things that we have on our plate today, I think we're
3:41
just gonna have to stick on one thing. And one. I mean, I'm just
3:45
going to keep hammering this until
3:47
John C Dvorak: you you attack Shula the whole time No, I don't
3:49
think so. Is it boring?
3:51
Adam Curry: Oh, come on. Oh, please. Oh, no, I think that
3:56
there is something horrible happening in the United States.
4:00
That is is obvious is not being discussed. And I think it's I
4:07
know it's done for political reasons, but I think it's wrong.
4:10
Because who is this Daddy Long Legs pretending to be our
4:14
president? Stop it we have no one in charge. This
4:19
John C Dvorak: is hilarious. I agree with this guy
4:21
Adam Curry: is not Joe Biden. It's obvious. I don't know why
4:26
him run
4:26
John C Dvorak: it. You know, they put up the big boy steps on
4:29
the Air Force One and he basically ran up them. Yeah. And
4:32
then
4:32
Adam Curry: he had to duck to get in. Yeah, this guy has to
4:35
get it and you see you see real Joe Biden or whatever. Standing
4:40
next to Jill. You know, he's she comes up a little bit above his
4:43
shoulders. And then this guy we're just gonna call daddy long
4:46
legs. He's he's like he's and
4:50
John C Dvorak: by the way, I think the moniker is good,
4:51
because the thing that's most notable, but he has really long
4:55
legs. And
4:57
Adam Curry: you know, so I'm talking to Tina about this. And
4:59
so first of all, is it The is that you know, Joe was is not
5:03
doing well, health wise by the way someone sent in an
5:05
interesting note saying those bruises on his face probably
5:09
from a hospital CPAP mask.
5:12
John C Dvorak: You know, the funny world does it go that
5:15
high? The funny thing is once you pointed that out to me,
5:18
yeah, I can't watch that. No, not see it. And I also see the
5:21
sight of is, besides that bruise that you're talking about up and
5:24
down on his forehead? Which CPAP I don't think
5:27
Adam Curry: I mean, we've got left
5:29
John C Dvorak: side of his face is swollen. Yes. So it
5:33
Adam Curry: could be from a fall could be because you or you
5:36
know, I mean, the actual oxygen mask that is on in the hospital,
5:42
if they don't rotate it the way they should. It can leave
5:45
bruises is what I've been led to understand we have our ends and
5:48
all kinds of medical
5:51
John C Dvorak: debt assertion. Sure. So now,
5:53
Adam Curry: Seymour Hersh, who I think you and I both trust, you
5:57
know, he's he's, he's had pretty good sources. In the past. He's,
6:01
you know, he's independent, that's for sure. i By the way, I
6:04
support his substack. I love that he does that. So he wrote
6:09
today, that by July, I'll read this from his substack July 20.
6:16
Former President Barack Obama was deeply involved in the Joe
6:18
Biden getting rid of Joe Biden, there was talk that he would
6:21
place a call to Biden he was not clear where the Biden had been
6:24
examined, or just what happened to him in Las Vegas, the big
6:27
three. This official said to Hirsch referring to the former
6:31
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck
6:33
Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, continued to be
6:37
directly involved on Sunday morning, with the approval of
6:40
Pelosi and Schumer Obama called Biden after breakfast breakfast
6:43
and said, Here's the deal is a quote. Now, here's the deal,
6:47
Joe, we have Kamala approval to invoke the 25th amendment. And
6:54
so this is what foresee
6:55
John C Dvorak: the guy that from his sorcery got it from our last
6:58
show. Well, that's possible.
7:00
Adam Curry: So, Joe had no other choice, but I think Joe really
7:04
is on on the ropes, medically speaking. And and from what I
7:11
understand, the Obamas hung back a little bit before this phony
7:16
baloney call with Kamala, because she was three cameras
7:20
shoot, I might amorous shoot, and she's miked. And even though
7:24
she's waving the phone around, it seems it sounds exactly the
7:27
same speakerphone sounds great. Complete Edit. In fact, let's
7:30
play it. It's only 45 seconds. Now, did he say it wrong? Did he
7:36
say Is he supposed to say Kamala Kamala? I don't know. It's
7:40
John C Dvorak: camel like Pamela Kamala.
7:44
Unknown: Hey there.
7:47
You're both together. Oh, it's good to hear you.
7:50
Adam Curry: You're both together too rare.
7:52
Unknown: I can't have this phone call without saying to my girl
7:56
Kamala script,
7:57
I am proud of you.
7:59
This is going to be historic, we
8:02
call to say, Michelle and I couldn't be prouder to endorse
8:06
you and to do everything we can to get you through this election
8:09
and into the Oval Office.
8:10
Oh, my goodness script. Oh my goodness, our practice means so
8:14
much to me. I'm looking listen to
8:16
Adam Curry: how her mic sounds. And then how the phone sounds
8:20
really direct and not distant. Like her mic is so phony
8:23
Unknown: doing this with the two of you.
8:25
Adam Curry: But here's how it went. Listen, we got to do
8:28
something, but we don't want to talk to her. Because we don't
8:31
actually want to talk to her, you will just we'll just record
8:33
something and play it back. And
8:35
Unknown: I both and getting out there being on the road. But
8:40
most of all, I just want to tell you that the words you have
8:43
spoken and the friendship that you have given over all these
8:46
years, I mean more than I can express so thank you both means
8:50
so much. And and we're gonna have some fun with this, too.
8:54
All right.
8:54
Adam Curry: So here's the problem. Here's the bottom line
8:58
problem. She obviously Joe cannot die or be incapacitated
9:03
President Biden I should say, until the election, because then
9:07
she would actually be in charge and then she would be blamed for
9:11
all the crime, everything everything. So they bring in for
9:15
what and I don't understand. So Daddy Long Legs comes in, you
9:19
know, go to the Olympics and walk around. It's he's literally
9:23
like one of those dudes on stilts. It's so obvious. Do they
9:27
think? Could they not get better? What could
9:30
John C Dvorak: they not find a guy that was Biden's frame and
9:34
stature? Well, the only thing is wearing a Biden mask obviously.
9:38
Yeah, yeah. The discuss this
9:39
Adam Curry: enough. The only thing I can think is that the
9:44
CIA disguised lady. She said that, you know, it's relatively
9:48
easy to do. But you need a donor body and maybe they just I mean,
9:54
he's kind of got the right head. He can do a bit of the walk. I
9:57
mean, let me just replay this from the CIA chief. up the skies
10:00
from we played on the last show. This is from our TED Talk. This
10:03
Unknown: was sort of the culmination of my career as the
10:06
chief of disguise. I, I know that once we did this, once we
10:12
could create these, think of what we could do, we could
10:15
change you into anything, we could change your gender, a man
10:19
into a woman, that's a little hard men didn't like to do that
10:22
a woman into a man that was easier, we could change your
10:25
ethnicity, we could change your nationality. The most fun thing
10:30
we could do is we could make another you we could make your
10:34
twin. So there could be two of you we needed to find a donor
10:38
who would kind of match height weight, but we can make a second
10:42
view so
10:44
Adam Curry: they can match your height and weight but they this
10:46
is such cases gaslighting, what is it? Why are they doing this?
10:50
Do Are we stupid?
10:54
John C Dvorak: This is what I don't understand me why they
10:56
picked this long legged guy. But it's clear that he's doing it to
11:00
signals maybe signaling you know, that may be part of the
11:03
idea to get in trumping without making it too obvious.
11:07
Adam Curry: Oh, oh, so this is sick. Wait, here's an idea. So
11:12
it's signaling in order to actually because the Obamas hate
11:15
Kamala is they hate her. Well,
11:18
John C Dvorak: I do have a clip about this. Well, let's let
11:21
relates to what your clip your discussion of hers. First.
11:25
Adam Curry: Yes versus her shmore This
11:29
John C Dvorak: this I picked off of a one of the Fox shows they
11:33
had Monica Crowley on with an analysis that night dot a big
11:38
fan of Monica Crowley but I have to say this Monica Crowley clip.
11:42
I think she's got some inside sources and she knows what she's
11:46
talking about. This is quite good. But Monica first, here we
11:49
are the Obamas have endorsed Kamala, does it ring true to
11:53
you? And will it help?
11:54
Unknown: Well, they're very late to the party and very reluctant.
11:57
So according to the reporting that we've seen so far, Charlie
12:01
and Pete What we know is that Barack Obama had an alternative
12:05
plan, ready to go he wanted Joe Biden removed. He saw that he
12:09
could not when the New York Post was reporting that they actually
12:13
moved up the debate because they were trying to frame Joe Biden
12:17
they knew that he would implode, so they wanted enough time and
12:21
runway to replace him with someone else. Obama had a
12:24
different plan in mind, and it was not Kamala Harris, but
12:28
Kamala Harris proved to be very widely along with her handlers.
12:32
She was able to accelerate the process to lock up the support
12:36
and the money so that her nomination was a fait accompli,
12:40
she got Joe Biden on board to endorse her. She got the
12:43
Clintons on board and remember Mrs. Clinton lost to Barack
12:47
Obama in 2008. So she got her little bit of revenge as well.
12:51
So Kamala got a fait accompli of a nomination. She got the
12:55
Obama's endorsement now at this late date. So the word of
13:00
warning to everybody here is do not underestimate Kamala and her
13:04
handlers, because they boxed out Obama, they outmaneuvered him
13:09
really for probably the first time in his political career. He
13:13
is not very happy about it. They will hit the campaign trail for
13:16
Kamala, but he will not be an enthusiastic supporter. Trust
13:20
me.
13:22
Adam Curry: Ah, you know, and that's the way to get rid of her
13:26
the way and would have, okay, I'm liking this.
13:30
John C Dvorak: So do you have one more follow up if you want
13:32
to hear it? Yeah.
13:33
Adam Curry: And then then I want to come up with my one. To
13:36
follow up.
13:37
John C Dvorak: It was done before Biden quit. And it
13:41
discusses Kamala being the conniver candidate conniving
13:45
Kamala I like it conniving Kamala and curiously it's from
13:50
Pastor Manning Alright, hold regular on the show. goes off on
13:56
Pamela yay it's
13:58
Adam Curry: the good pasture. Everybody's
13:59
Unknown: woman was flaunting her relationship with Willie Brown
14:01
former mayor of San Francisco you know, so sweet, really?
14:05
Sweet Willie Brown we live in the restaurants down the wharf,
14:15
you know and when it brown and married my Erin public while she
14:20
was a district attorney, he she was the adulterous going with
14:24
this man you know, in and all this all over again pick up the
14:29
daily British newspaper they I mean, they covered it remember
14:33
the people in the Frisco Frisco area didn't cover in America
14:36
they didn't bring it up against it either. But now this one was
14:39
from her relationship with sweet Willie Brown and they were
14:42
getting in on this and she did Dana black man called Willis by
14:45
the Black didn't get that guy a black woman was cold but here
14:48
what what is it? What does he man he's Jewish guy right. And I
14:51
might use Jews. I don't hate Amazon. That's right. I'm not
14:54
against Jews. Me. No, I believe in Abraham. Jesus to you. Isn't
15:00
Marin is Jewish guys sums up? I can't believe that love it for a
15:06
site or any other site sums up some stuff that woman is up to.
15:11
So that is that's a Cronin woman stuff. I think she married that
15:16
guy sums up thumbs up until you got I think I think I think
15:21
Willie Brown had her nose open now y'all don't know that her.
15:26
Y'all don't know that. But I think Willie Brown I think she
15:29
was really kind of going for Willie Brown. She was hanging on
15:32
him. He tried to hear after he dumped her Willie Brown. Y'all
15:35
know sweet Willie, this. We didn't make it. The two of them
15:42
I think Willie Brown had a no to him. I think she really liked
15:45
him. You know, and now she ends up at the date Willie Brown.
15:49
Sweet Willie, she marries this Jewish guy. I just don't know
15:52
Jewish men to be great lover. Let's get on. I'm not against
15:56
Jewish food. No, no, this sums up with a camera bag and Blake
16:05
Harris. And Joe Biden better watch himself. I can tell you
16:08
that right now.
16:09
Adam Curry: Wow. Wow. Manning, of course, the progenitor of the
16:13
long leg magnetic. That's right. So we've got a new long leg mack
16:20
daddy. Okay, so how about this? So we had all this trickery
16:25
going on. Kamala slides in Obama's are pissed. Obama say
16:30
okay, all right. Well, here's what we're going to do. By the
16:34
way, Jill, and the kids Hunter, here's your net jets card. Okay,
16:39
stop crying in the Oval Office, you get your net jets card along
16:43
with the 100 million. Because we're going to put this Daddy
16:46
Long Legs in into this, it'd be so obvious that people will just
16:51
have to say, Wait a minute. That's not the president.
16:55
Something's up. It's going to be a scandal. I'm not sure how it's
17:01
going to come to light yet. But it has to be some kind of
17:03
scandal. Kamala has to resume has to assume the presidency.
17:10
Which I think if she doesn't become President, does she is
17:13
she does he if he doesn't die, but if he's incapacitated, does
17:19
she does she does her title change immediately?
17:22
John C Dvorak: Only if she he's kicked out by the 25th
17:24
amendment.
17:25
Adam Curry: Okay, so she'll just be the acting president.
17:28
Unknown: That
17:31
Adam Curry: where's our constitutional scholars
17:34
John C Dvorak: will tell us what what's what I
17:36
Adam Curry: mean, she'll be the acting president who is good
17:39
enough. And then we can really blame her for everything. This
17:43
is a double crossed by the Obamas. There is no other reason
17:48
for this because they've had better Biden, guys. I've seen
17:52
him. I agree.
17:53
John C Dvorak: There's something is amiss with this long legged
17:56
bike. And the thing is, is notice it for some reason. It
18:01
could be a tall, bigger guy, but it's a guy with these real he's
18:03
got these ridiculously long legs. Obviously,
18:08
Adam Curry: he has, it's like he has a 42 inseam. It's
18:11
John C Dvorak: huge. And the and then the fact that he went up to
18:14
long steps, racing Hello, everybody rushed up to LogStash
18:20
and Biden is barely making it up the short steps. Why didn't they
18:24
do something fishy about that? Because Why do you put up the
18:27
long steps? Yeah, after we've had at least two years now
18:31
shorties have the short steps. So now all of a sudden as long
18:36
steps are that nobody's suspicious? What What a lie
18:39
buddy suspicious I
18:40
Adam Curry: mean if so this of course in the season of reveal
18:43
I'm really hoping this is all takes place. Because there'll be
18:46
a lot of splaining to do once once we we expose the whole
18:51
concept of body doubles like this. I mean, people are gonna
18:55
lose their their ever loving minds. Well,
18:58
John C Dvorak: date we had to expose this with their Hillary
19:00
with the person on the wrong side. Nobody cares about our
19:03
podcast that faced Hillary it was even the same person. It
19:06
wasn't even close.
19:07
Adam Curry: Yeah, the bat her shoulder bag on the wrong
19:09
shoulder. That was the tail. Oh, she
19:11
John C Dvorak: had the wrong stature. She didn't say
19:12
anything. Yeah, well, Biden actually kind of walks he puts
19:18
his hands forward this phony Biden. Yeah, he puts his it says
19:21
Adam Curry: call him daddy longlegs just call him one of
19:23
his daddy long legs.
19:25
John C Dvorak: He has a he tries to do the Biden gate but he
19:28
doesn't quite do it. Oh, there everything's wrong. This guy.
19:34
Adam Curry: I mean, literally, he walks out of the Oval Office
19:36
where he looks like death warmed over. He's like, Hey,
19:39
Unknown: everybody.
19:39
Adam Curry: Look at my legs. Kick. It looks it's wilt the
19:43
stilt
19:44
John C Dvorak: Tommy Tune. Looks like Tommy. That's who it is.
19:50
Adam Curry: Think Tommy Tune died is Tommy tunes still with
19:53
us? I don't think he's telling
19:54
John C Dvorak: me to and I did get to see him once on the show.
19:58
He has got the longest list. Eggs. Yeah,
20:02
Adam Curry: that's amazing. Well, so let's just go along
20:06
here and follow this through. You remember who donated a
20:10
million dollars to the Obama election campaign, television
20:14
personality to University of California for one, one person,
20:18
one dude, one guy with a TV show.
20:21
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah, Bill Maher. Harris
20:24
Unknown: would be the first woman president, first black
20:26
woman, president and first Asian president. But I don't vote for
20:30
who will be the first. I vote for who will win. And for
20:34
whatever reason, Harris has never been popular. You can
20:38
count the number of delegates she won in the 2020 primaries on
20:41
one hand, as long as that hand has no fingers.
20:49
In three years as Vice President she has been quieter than an
20:52
electric car. Unlike an electric car, your Maga uncle can't
21:00
explain why she fills him with homicidal rage. She just does.
21:05
Sometimes life isn't fair. It's not fair that she's not popular.
21:09
She's intelligent and accomplished. And in fact wasn't
21:12
put in charge of the border and look at how Okay, better
21:17
Adam Curry: So, now I understand why this whole weekend Stephanie
21:23
rule, you know, Stephanie rule, right? Yeah, the Goldman Sachs
21:27
girl that the the guys on the trading floor like so much.
21:30
That's just what I hear. Who by the way, I think is on ozempic
21:34
Because she all of a sudden she has that kind of Oh, face. Full
21:38
Face. I like that. So she so she title
21:41
John C Dvorak: show title face?
21:42
Adam Curry: I haven't we use something like that. Oh, face.
21:45
Yeah. So. So she's doing all the primetime hours on MSNBC. She's
21:50
bringing on as many black women as she can. And it's just like
21:55
one weird anecdote after another. Here's the first
22:01
Unknown: people are ready for this and ready to sort of
22:04
continue that energy. I mean, talking about the Zoom call
22:07
tonight it was white women organizing for president for
22:10
vice president Harris. I was reading tweets that said they
22:13
were they were raising $20,000. So this
22:15
Adam Curry: is yummy ish, shabby chic. And she was normally you
22:21
know, she was she's been heralded as quite the quite the
22:24
journalist. Now she's hearing about Zoo. For a while there,
22:29
she was all like, Yeah, but she, she would have production staff
22:33
behind her. And now all she all she can report on is zoom calls,
22:39
and I read a tweet. So she's doing a period she's not doing
22:43
reporting she's doing. And I heard from someone familiar with
22:46
the people on the calls thanking for
22:48
Unknown: president for vice president Harris, I was reading
22:51
tweets that said they were they were raising $20,000 In a few
22:55
minutes, every 20 minutes, a tweet that I saw. So in some
23:00
ways it follows and it does follow the Zoom calls that we
23:03
saw earlier this week, on Sunday, I was on a zoom call
23:05
that lasted until like one o'clock in the morning, and that
23:07
was with 45,000 black women. And other people were on that Zoom
23:11
call and they raised 1.5 million, we
23:14
Adam Curry: don't have a screenshot of this zoom call, I
23:16
want to see 40,000 windows million
23:19
Unknown: dollars in about three hours, black men had their zoom
23:21
call. And that's what you're seeing tonight, sort of a
23:23
continuation of that enthusiasm. Is
23:26
Adam Curry: there some list or not on? Is there? Are there zoom
23:28
calls happening that I'm not being invited to?
23:31
John C Dvorak: I'm thinking yes. When
23:33
Unknown: it comes to sort of how they're going to keep this up,
23:35
there's this idea that she's going to be out on the campaign
23:37
trail a lot, all of my sources that are close to the campaign's
23:41
thinking,
23:41
Adam Curry: all of my sources that are close to the campaign's
23:44
thinking. So she's not even talking to the campaign. She's
23:48
talking to people who are close to the campaign's thinking,
23:51
which is mind reading,
23:54
Unknown: how they're going to keep this up. There's this idea
23:56
that she's going to be out on the campaign trail a lot, all of
23:58
my sources that are close to the campaign's thinking, tell me
24:01
that she's going to be criss crossing this nation going to
24:03
all sorts of states, one source that's close to the campaign
24:06
told me that this is really going to be in some ways a soft
24:10
issues. campaign. And what they meant by that was, it's going to
24:14
be crime, it's going to be abortion, it's going to be the
24:15
autonomy, but not sort of, here's my policy, go read my
24:19
website, it's going to be how do I make you feel better? How do I
24:22
make you feel safer? How do I make you feel like you're going
24:25
to have more control over your body? If you elect me, this is
24:28
Adam Curry: great. It's going to be a campaign of feelings. How
24:32
do you feel about me, that's
24:34
Unknown: going to be part of the argument that Vice President
24:36
Harris is going to be making to Americans. And I think that
24:39
she's going to be also harnessing all of the different
24:41
bases in the Democratic Party to sort of rebuild a little bit of
24:45
the Obama coalition but also her coalition.
24:47
Adam Curry: Yeah, so that was your mace then we bring on this
24:50
other woman. Also black and the whole panel
24:53
John C Dvorak: niche by the way you miss Should I call her? Your
24:56
nice Oh, yummy.
24:59
Adam Curry: me okay. Here's the other one,
25:01
Unknown: Yasmin.
25:01
We're almost done with the first week of Harris's campaign. What
25:06
have we learned about the tone and
25:07
the message of this campaign?
25:08
Adam Curry: Oh, thank you, Stephanie. Yeah, well,
25:11
Unknown: I think the tone of the message was in those clips that
25:14
you played of her today in Houston. We know as you said
25:17
that she's going to be leaning on her prosecutorial backward
25:20
background backwater,
25:22
Adam Curry: but this wishy washy, prosecutorial back,
25:25
backward, backwoods, backwater background,
25:28
Unknown: we said that she's going to be leaning on her
25:30
prosecutorial backwards, backwards, backwards,
25:34
Adam Curry: backwards, backwards. All right, and Kotori
25:37
Unknown: tutorial backwards background to juxtapose her
25:41
candidacy versus Trump, we know that she's going to be talking
25:44
about some of those kitchen table issues that were really
25:47
centered and focused in her 2019 run. And we know that she is
25:51
going to be leaning on this momentum and energy that she
25:55
feels or that you feel when watching her in these rallies. I
26:01
know I was in Milwaukee on Tuesday, and I saw just how
26:05
energetic people were. In fact, when I talked to voters
26:07
afterwards, the first words out of their mouth was wow, look at
26:10
that energy that, wow, that energy energy was there. And
26:14
some of them even said that in previous Biden brollies, that
26:18
energy wasn't there. So I think that all those things are going
26:20
to be the tone and tenor. But, you know, of course, the the
26:24
campaign is still really evolving. I talked to one source
26:27
this week or two, they're building the plane as it flies
26:31
when it comes to their messaging. And it comes to other
26:33
things that the Democrats really waiting on her to talk for, of
26:36
course, you know, we saw her give comments on Israel and
26:40
Gaza, making her stance on that. So I think that all of these
26:43
things that we're seeing in the first days are going to continue
26:45
to evolve. But really, that is the tone and tenor of her
26:48
campaign going forward. So
26:49
Adam Curry: they've just wasn't she say nothing. That's the
26:52
point. Look at that energy, tone, tenor, it's all fabulous.
26:55
It's great. And now I'm even questioning this attack, ad
26:59
attack ad, this M five M supercut. Which I initially I'm
27:04
like, Oh, that's pretty funny. The RNC put this out, you know,
27:07
that's what they do. Now, I'm thinking it might be the DNC or
27:11
the Obamas or just people who just want to hate Kamala,
27:15
Unknown: there are of course, to say that you have the lowest
27:17
approval rating
27:18
of any Vice President. Well, they're
27:19
polls that also say I have great approval ratings.
27:23
When voters don't like Harris, how big a drag is Kamala Harris
27:27
on the ticket, she's a
27:28
pretty big drag. I think she was arguably, Biden's worst
27:31
political decision.
27:32
They don't like her. There's lots of reasons they don't like
27:34
their Kamala
27:34
Harris's approval rating is now at 28%, which is an historic low
27:39
for any modern vice president. We're hearing it from mainstream
27:42
mainstream media, one outlet after another, one league after
27:47
another. That Kamala Harris is the worst vice president ever.
27:51
The worst polishes cishan ever
27:52
we don't see the vice president. What people are saying to me,
27:56
I'm sure they're saying to you, where's the Vice President, so
27:59
minus officials feeling that, that she came off looking
28:01
unprepared for inevitable questions about when she might
28:04
visit the southern border. We've been
28:06
to the border you haven't been before. And I haven't been to
28:10
Europe. And I don't understand the point that you're making.
28:14
The point that
28:15
Lester Holt was making
28:16
was was obvious to
28:18
anyone else who was watching this interview, which is that
28:21
the issues at the border are inextricably linked with the
28:24
portfolio that she's been given the
28:26
border is secure. We have a secure border, it nomics is
28:32
working. Prices have gone up. And families and individuals are
28:43
dealing with the realities of that bread cost more than gas
28:48
costs more. And we have to understand what that means.
28:53
That's about the cost of living going up.
28:55
Adam Curry: He picked Kamala Harris to
28:58
Unknown: be his running mate. She was raised and is ranked as
29:01
the most liberal senator in the
29:03
United States. So he could have gone the other way. But he went,
29:05
he went to the left.
29:07
Joe Biden is running for reelection, and I will be his
29:09
ticket mate. Full stop.
29:15
Adam Curry: This, I am now more than ever convinced this is an
29:19
Obama double cross. And the question is, will they reveal
29:23
the true identity of daddy longlegs just before the
29:28
convention so they can sneak in Kelly or whoever else they want
29:32
to bring in there. How many we have two more weeks?
29:37
John C Dvorak: Well, they're going to do the straw poll and
29:40
actually pre elector on the first about a week before the
29:46
convention. This is their, their their technique. What does that
29:50
mean? That means they're going to have the guys that
29:54
conventioneers that are going to be at the convention. Do a pre
29:57
vote. Show when convention began. She's already been pre
30:02
selected. So there's no debate at the convention. Okay? And
30:07
Adam Curry: is Daddy Long Legs gonna show up at the convention
30:10
and do it? I
30:11
John C Dvorak: don't know what they're gonna do. I don't know
30:13
what you're trying to. I mean, I'm trying to know what they're
30:15
going to do with this guy.
30:16
Adam Curry: That makes no sense either either. They don't
30:20
either. He's gone now. And he was just a temp. Like, oh, our
30:23
regular guy has a show in Vegas. But
30:27
John C Dvorak: you know, that's hot. Now that might be right
30:29
about that. It's possible that this long legged guy? Yeah, he's
30:32
just a temp temp and they'll bring into short legged regular
30:36
bicone Biden, because our
30:38
Adam Curry: normal guy he's out with COVID or something, you
30:41
know? Maybe that's who actually had COVID Oh, man, our
30:46
John C Dvorak: guy has Biden. Yeah,
30:49
Adam Curry: that the the knob? The Biden we saw on television
30:53
that look like that looks like the guy that looked at dying.
30:55
Dying. Joe on Yeah.
30:58
John C Dvorak: I want to play just we're on this topic.
31:02
Something I didn't play in the last couple of shows. But I
31:06
decided to finally go back to it. And the thing is this guy K
31:10
part. Yeah, it was with Brooks. He I watched his weekend shows I
31:15
don't have clips from that. But he is completely in with the
31:18
women, the women for the black women for Camelot. He's one of
31:22
them. Movement. Yes, he is. And he is so onto the Kim Kamla
31:28
thing. It's ridiculous. And I want to play just a piece of
31:32
from two weeks ago before Biden quit his back and forth was
31:36
Brooks and his attitude that this is really to me is so
31:40
biased. I don't understand how this guy's an editor at the
31:43
Washington Post. If
31:45
Adam Curry: you don't, the Washington Post is not biased.
31:48
Hello.
31:51
John C Dvorak: I want to play these two clips in Is it just to
31:54
show you what delusion is taking place amongst mostly blacks,
32:00
black women, mostly men him. Regarding Harris and this is K
32:05
part on Harris. One, it just leads us into His going nuts
32:09
Unknown: and things like that. So that's raised the sense that
32:12
it's inevitable that he's going to go and so if he's gonna go he
32:15
has to go, but it has to be in the next few days or else he's
32:18
you know, fatally weakened by being constantly drip drip drip
32:21
of undermine on what happens next. I think the Democrats will
32:24
be in big trouble if if Kamala Harris was not on the ticket. On
32:29
the other hand, nothing comes free in politics. The problem
32:31
with the democratic process so far, it's been it's been a low
32:34
inflammation process. Joe Biden got this far because he wasn't
32:37
tested in the primaries. And the idea you're gonna have another
32:40
nominee who's not tested should be a little alarming to
32:43
Democrats. So the idea of a mini primary with those press
32:48
conferences or debates, that's it's not entirely unappealing to
32:52
me that Kamala Harris may well get the nomination, but she
32:55
stepped to earn it. She shot the show, the party in the country
32:57
that she's really capable of, of doing this campaign.
33:00
Jonathan, what do you make it not
33:02
tested has to earn it. She's the sitting Vice President of the
33:05
United States who has endured a whole lot of scrutiny in that
33:10
role, lots of brickbats from within the party from the other
33:14
party, from the press, you know, earn it. She was vice president
33:19
during during COVID during a 5050 split in the Senate, so she
33:24
was, you know, basically chained to that president's chair in the
33:28
Senate chamber not being able to leave Washington for more than
33:31
two and a half hours so she could get back and cast tie
33:34
breaking votes, the most tiebreaker votes cast by any
33:37
vice president, any anyone who says it will I don't mean to
33:41
pick on you, David. But anyone who says she has sir earn, it
33:44
hasn't been paying attention to what she's what she's done. Oh,
33:47
Adam Curry: well, a couple of things. One, finally, they're
33:50
arguing with each other. That's a pro for the show. We're
33:56
arguing for the first time ever since we started playing these
33:58
clips. A second, he clearly was on the 40,000 women zoom call.
34:04
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I would think so. He takes very
34:08
defensive about the idea that she should do anything at all,
34:11
even though she's obviously unpopular. And what
34:14
Adam Curry: do you notice here? They, it looks to me like
34:18
they're pushing a lot of women of color. Let's just call them
34:22
that. Yes. Women of Color, promote this, and this, and this
34:26
is a protection airy mechanism. Because if it all falls apart,
34:29
well, hey, you had 40,000 Women on a call you said it was it was
34:34
locked up. You were familiar with their thinking. It was all
34:37
good.
34:39
John C Dvorak: stuff. And he wrote this arguing between the
34:41
two of them and they kind of make up they make up a little
34:44
bit in clip too. But but K part maintains his position. And
34:52
Unknown: I don't mean to say worthy of it. But you know, Joe
34:55
Biden was president and he just wasn't out there campaigning and
35:00
process of campaigning, even if it's done over three weeks is
35:03
better than no process. And so that would be my only point.
35:06
Jonathan, we'll
35:06
give you the last word here. We got 45 seconds. David,
35:08
have you seen Democrats? I mean, my big fear with Democrats is
35:13
that if they if you do have this common sense proposal of an open
35:17
primary Democrats will make it a shambolic process. And in the
35:21
end, whoever gets the top that gets the top spot on the ticket,
35:24
even if it's the sitting Vice President could be as hobbled as
35:28
the the president, they potentially driven off the tip
35:31
top of it.
35:32
Adam Curry: I hear this word continuously shambolic.
35:34
John C Dvorak: What exactly do they mean an idiotic word? It's
35:37
a word that was actually first appeared in the lexicon in 1970.
35:42
And it means disorganized. Oh weird Shambles it stems from the
35:49
word Shambles well as I don't know why it showed up, and it's
35:55
mostly lefties that use it earlier in the same back and
36:00
forth. Brooks used it earlier and he picked it up and so I
36:05
don't know why I don't like that term at all. Let's
36:08
Adam Curry: listen to some more women of color promoting Kamala.
36:12
This is joy read I think there's so with with Michael Steele,
36:16
another black woman
36:17
Unknown: I think there's something to be said for you
36:19
know, what did they call it the Kabbalah mentum. that's out
36:24
there. That's really kind of creating a lot of energy here.
36:27
So much so that you've got Maria Teresa the Grail headline, white
36:33
women's answered the call for Kamala Harris attracting nearly
36:37
200,000 attendees and raising $8.5 million on Zoom. That was
36:43
wait
36:44
Adam Curry: a minute, what was what was the Zoom call that they
36:46
were on? So the black woman raised $20,000 and the white
36:52
women did like 8 million
36:55
John C Dvorak: to your desk in the wrong guy for
36:58
Unknown: Kamala Harris attracting nearly 200,000
37:00
attendees and raising $8.5 million on Zoom. That was in
37:06
nodded in response to but in alliance with the call that took
37:11
place over the weekend among some 40,000 African American
37:17
women that then grew even more so.
37:21
Adam Curry: And let's go to Anna Navarro, another woman of
37:23
Unknown: color they are so triggered and so wacko they are
37:26
shook it. They are out there saying vile vile remarks about
37:31
Kamala Harris. By the way, let's start with that. That's
37:34
pronounced this Kamala Kamala Kamala, this is not Kamala,
37:40
which they say on purpose, but that's okay. If you don't want
37:43
to learn how to pronounce this, that's fine, because you're
37:45
gonna be saying madame president, Hillary Clinton went
37:48
through is pale in comparison to what they are putting Kamala
37:51
Harris through just in a week. The remarks are vile, they are
37:55
trying to make her dating history an issue and listen, if
37:59
you guys want to do that, if you guys want to make her dating
38:04
history and her personal history, I have an issue. Let's
38:08
do that. Okay, bring it on.
38:11
Adam Curry: Man A Chill out. Chill out. And by the way, you
38:15
know she's supposed to be a Republican, as is Michael
38:18
Steele.
38:19
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Michael Steele is the head of the RNC
38:23
Adam Curry: was yes was okay, let's let's listen to some white
38:25
people. Since this is what it's all going to be black versus
38:28
white. Jen Psaki has a great term. This is not your clip,
38:33
John C Dvorak: by the way. By the way. I want to mention that
38:35
this is between if you want to say it's a race thing between
38:40
whites and blacks is also a thing between black men and
38:44
black women. Yes. Which I think is the bigger split. Yeah,
38:48
Adam Curry: but I don't have any clips of that. No,
38:50
John C Dvorak: I just said, the idea of clearing it up.
38:53
Adam Curry: Listen to what Saki says the idea that the Vice
38:56
Unknown: President of the United States Kamala Harris is
38:58
unqualified to be president on her own merits independent of
39:01
her race, gender, or anything else is straight up
39:04
disinformation. This is a woman who was a prosecutor for two
39:07
decades before being elected as the Attorney General of
39:10
California. Then she won the election to the Senate in 2016.
39:14
And gained notoriety for being a tough question or if you
39:17
judicial nominees and corporate witnesses in hearings, and for
39:21
the last three and a half years, she has been rice President of
39:24
the United States for good.
39:27
Adam Curry: Rice president.
39:30
Unknown: Listen to her. And for the last three and a half years.
39:33
She has been rice President of the United States. We're gonna
39:36
say
39:36
John C Dvorak: yeah, rice,
39:37
Adam Curry: she said no, but she says rice President of the
39:39
United States, listen, thanks.
39:41
Unknown: And for the last three and a half years, she has been
39:44
rice President of the United States. We're gonna say her Mom,
39:47
John C Dvorak: do you not hear this? Rice President of the
39:50
United States? Yes.
39:52
Unknown: And for the last three and a half years. I think she
39:55
has been rice President of the United States for goodness sake.
39:58
I mean, what are we even talking about here?
40:00
Adam Curry: I think your rice President United States, that
40:04
was a five Martini lunch we had rice
40:07
John C Dvorak: per year. Right? I don't there's no denying. I
40:10
have a couple of questions. Because there's been these.
40:13
These concern Miss hearings that I've you hear all the time. Yes.
40:18
Which are usually the best one. Of course this one. Yeah. But I
40:22
don't want to go to this right now. I'm just saying that this
40:25
miss hearing, but in this case, there's no way she didn't say
40:29
rice and steaks.
40:31
Adam Curry: rice rice, President of these United
40:33
John C Dvorak: States, and then she goes off this guy's and then
40:36
she sat down. She's slurring she's drunk. Yes, yes,
40:38
Adam Curry: yes. Yes. I think you're right. But that's good.
40:40
That's good show material right there. Rice, president of the
40:44
US, United States,
40:46
John C Dvorak: United States.
40:49
Adam Curry: I have another white white dude. MSNBC guests. This
40:54
was this was quite the opposite message.
40:57
Unknown: The Democratic base right now is just entirely
41:00
lacking for intensity. I mean, when I talk with Democrat
41:03
elected officials in the battleground states, they tell
41:06
me the same story over and over and over again, they can't find
41:10
anybody to come out and volunteer for them to do the
41:13
sort of work that that that's necessary in a field operation,
41:16
because there's just no enthusiasm. I mean, we all the
41:20
time about the cliche, enthusiasm gap in politics. I've
41:24
never seen an enthusiasm gap like the one we're witnessing in
41:27
the summer of this election year. I've heard horror stories
41:30
from people on the ground in Michigan, in Pennsylvania in
41:33
Arizona, about just striking out time and time again, as local
41:37
Democratic Party chapters county chapters have tried to get
41:40
people to come in and phonebank to get mail going to knock on
41:43
doors. They can't do it. They can't find people.
41:47
Adam Curry: I don't know if that's true, but it was on
41:49
MSNBC. I thought that was rather interesting. There's no
41:52
enthusiasm, but there's 1000s of people on Zoom calls, apparently
41:56
mythical zoom calls. And there's one other thing that one of our
42:00
producers brought to my attention, says I don't know
42:04
what you and John had been seeing this past election cycle,
42:06
but all I'm seeing is Indians, Indians, Indians, Indians
42:10
everywhere. Vivec Nim Radha I mean Nikki Haley, Sanjay Gupta
42:15
player in the game. Dinesh D'Souza, Where's Bobby Jindal
42:19
bring back Jindal? Vance? Where's
42:21
John C Dvorak: Bobby Jindal? That's a good point.
42:24
Adam Curry: JD Vance. His wife, OSHA. I mean, there's a lot so I
42:28
mean, are we going for some some Indian hate now? Is that is that
42:32
the next thing on deck with Kamala, she's clearly Indian.
42:38
John C Dvorak: That I do have a hate clip.
42:39
Adam Curry: And look who's running Google. Look who's
42:41
running Microsoft?
42:44
John C Dvorak: Yeah, Indians, Indians. This is the Morning Joe
42:48
hate the talking about the about the basis to hate basis, they're
42:53
gonna start throwing it Camela. And
42:55
Unknown: I've heard from inside Republican circles and right
42:58
wing media that the hate campaign against Kamala Harris
43:02
has begun. You'll notice they purposefully pronounced her name
43:06
wrong. They say Kamala, they do it all the time. It is on
43:11
purpose. But the talk is to start that hate campaign and get
43:15
it going and started churning.
43:18
Adam Curry: Yeah, so this this is part of most theory and and I
43:23
have to say there's definitely something to it. He predicted on
43:29
on the last episode we did together, he predicted that this
43:33
this unfortunate shooting in Illinois have this black woman
43:37
by the cops. Have you even heard about this? Yeah. Is that this
43:43
would start to you know, this. This happened a couple of weeks
43:45
ago, and now it's bubbling up and that this is going to be the
43:49
start, you know, they're looking for new George Floyd. You have a
43:53
clip here that kind of explains what happens. It's clearly I
43:57
mean, this cop could not have if you wanted a guy that looks like
44:01
a racist white cop and you have the body cam footage. It's
44:04
almost like the script is just too good to be true. For some
44:08
real real protests happening.
44:11
Unknown: So yet Massey was a mother she was a sister she is a
44:14
daughter. The
44:15
call to police for help turning into the last call 36 year old
44:19
Sonia Massey would ever make her death is sending shockwaves
44:22
across the nation. As body camera footage is revealing her
44:25
final moments Massey could be heard saying quote, I will
44:33
rebuke you in the name of Jesus while moving the pot of water.
44:40
Thing Aman sheriff's deputy Shawn Grayson drawing his weapon
44:43
causing Massey to duck behind the counter saying she was
44:46
sorry. We've stopped the video before Grayson is seen firing
44:53
his gun three times hitting Masse once in the face. The now
44:56
fired sheriff's deputies record includes two DUIs in a discharge
44:59
from the Army for misconduct. According to ABC News, he's
45:02
pleaded not guilty to three counts of first degree murder
45:05
among other charges against him. It was one
45:08
of the most horrific murders that we've ever seen in recent
45:11
history, if not all of history
45:12
details following the shooting, revealing not only a breakdown
45:15
and communication within the department but also to family of
45:18
Massey body worn camera showing Grayson initially discouraging
45:22
his partner from trying to save Massey's life
45:30
we all got to see how a police officer stood by as a woman was
45:34
murdered right in front of his face.
45:36
But here's the question how much longer how many more Sonia
45:40
Massey's how many more Michael Browns how many more Eric
45:43
Garner's again and again and again that's gone on.
45:48
Rally goers calling for an overhaul of the system and on
45:51
Congress to pass the George Floyd justice in policing act
45:54
something Massey's family has also vocalized, the proposed
45:57
reform aims to hold police accountable change the culture
46:00
of law enforcement in the relationships and communities by
46:03
addressing systemic racism and bias. So
46:06
Adam Curry: of course, we don't actually know the whole story,
46:08
but the script is written. I mean, it's it's clear from the
46:12
way it's being presented. And I think it was Kamala Harris, Vice
46:17
President rice rice, President Harris, who, who pleaded for the
46:24
George Floyd act.
46:27
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. She's really funny
46:30
that of
46:30
Adam Curry: course, she also, you know, thought that Jesse
46:32
Smollett was, you know, that they put a noose around his
46:35
neck. Yes. Let's not forget that. Let's not forget that one.
46:40
So, you know, this is clearly a play. I don't know if they're
46:45
going to I don't know. But I think by August 2, she has to
46:49
announce her vice president VP pick.
46:53
John C Dvorak: Why does she have to do it by August 2?
46:55
Adam Curry: That's just something I heard on the news. I
46:57
don't know anything. I'm just telling you.
46:59
John C Dvorak: She can announce anytime she wants it probably be
47:01
during the convention. I would think
47:03
Adam Curry: I'm just telling you what I heard. Let's listen to an
47:07
ad because they do have
47:08
John C Dvorak: doesn't have to there's no. Okay.
47:13
Adam Curry: I'm just telling you. Listen, look, the media,
47:18
the media chooses our presidents. Okay, so we might as
47:21
well listen to what they're doing. This isn't an ad for
47:26
rice, rice, President Harris.
47:30
Unknown: In this election, we each face a question. What kind
47:34
of country do we want to live in? There are some people who
47:40
think we should be a country of chaos, of fear of hate. But us
47:45
we choose something different. We choose freedom.
47:55
Yeah, Beyonce.
48:04
The freedom not just to get by, but get ahead. The freedom to be
48:08
saved from gun violence, the freedom to make decisions about
48:12
your own body. We choose a future where no child lives in
48:15
poverty, where we can all afford health care, where no one is
48:20
above the law. We believe in the promise of America and we're
48:25
ready to fight for it. Because when we fight, we win. So join
48:30
us go to Kamala harris.com. And let's get to work comma cable
48:35
run and because a winner Don't quit on themselves
48:45
John C Dvorak: well, I thought this one I did I think that ad
48:47
replaced this one or this one. Replace that when I have? Oh,
48:51
Adam Curry: every really you're gonna play this? Everyone saw
48:57
it? Where is it?
49:00
John C Dvorak: What's it called? Camela ad?
49:05
Adam Curry: No Camela campaign ad.
49:09
Unknown: I come on Harris and your Democrat candidate for
49:11
president because Joe Biden finally exposed to civility. I
49:17
was selected because I'm the ultimate diversity hire. I'm
49:20
both a woman and a person of color. So if you've criticized
49:23
anything, I say you're both sexist and racist. I may not
49:26
know the first thing about running the country. But
49:28
remember, that's a good thing. If you're a deep state puppet, I
49:33
had for years under the tutelage of the ultimate Deep State
49:37
puppet, a wonderful mentor Joe Biden. Joe taught me rule number
49:40
one, carefully hide your total incompetence. I take
49:44
insignificant things and I discuss them as if they're
49:47
significant. And I believe that exploring the significance of
49:51
the insignificant is in itself significant, talking about the
49:54
significance of the passage of time, right the significance of
49:58
the passage of time So when you think about it, there is great
50:02
significance to the passage of time. And there is such great
50:06
significance to the passage of time. Another trick is trying to
50:09
sound last, I pretend to celebrate Kwanzaa. And in my
50:13
speeches, I always do my best Barack Obama pressure. So hear
50:17
me when I say, I know Donald Trump's tight. And okay, look,
50:22
maybe my work addressing the root causes of the border crisis
50:26
were catastrophic. But my knowledge of international
50:28
politics is truly shocking. The United States shares a very
50:32
important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republican
50:36
North Korea. It is an alliance that is strong and enduring. And
50:40
just remember, when voting this November, it is important to see
50:43
what can be unburdened by what has been, and by what has been.
50:48
I mean, Joe Biden Do you think the country went to over the
50:53
past four years? You ain't seen nothing yet.
50:58
Adam Curry: Now, do you think that was one of our girls, or
51:00
was that AI?
51:03
John C Dvorak: I think it was one of the if it could be either
51:06
one. But I think it's one of the girls.
51:08
Adam Curry: I think so too. Because they're so prevalent now
51:11
on on x. It must have been one of them. Yeah, yeah. By the way,
51:17
if it was AI, that's not going to happen in the European Union.
51:22
That's not going to happen. Queen Ursula will not allow it,
51:26
Unknown: the threat of disinformation and foreign
51:28
interference is more serious than ever.
51:36
The enemies of our democracies are manipulating information to
51:40
sow division. So we must step up our action with a European
51:44
democracy shield.
51:52
This new structure will track down information manipulation,
51:56
and coordinate with national agencies. The shield will detect
51:59
foreign interference, remove content with a stronger approach
52:03
to AI deep fakes. And finally pre bunkin build resilience in
52:07
Adam Curry: the European democracy. It's a very audacious
52:13
project project, the European democracy shield we're going to
52:17
protect your democracy. But I'd like to move to to the other two
52:23
candidates for a moment. Trump and RFK Jr. Because they both
52:30
spent a lot of time this weekend pandering in Nashville
52:35
Unknown: that saying that all hell is gonna break loose and
52:38
you're gonna need a Bitcoin.
52:41
Adam Curry: Now, this is really interesting to me, of course,
52:44
but it shouldn't be the anybody that the only one so far not
52:50
pandering to the Bitcoiners is Kamala Harris. Kamala, that's
52:54
that right now. Kamala Kamala
52:56
John C Dvorak: your I don't know pronouncing it every chance you
52:59
get just
52:59
Adam Curry: because what you do racist There you go. So Trump
53:02
showed up on the at the very last moment, it was the last
53:06
speech of the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville. Which by the way,
53:10
the band's Bitcoin was a podcasting 2.0 project. We of
53:14
course did this outside of the of their event, we had 12 bands,
53:18
performing over three days was pretty awesome. All in the
53:21
modern podcast apps. Congrats Everybody who participated a lot
53:25
of our no agenda stream people. And I pulled a couple clips
53:29
actually, I got them from Chris from this week in Bitcoin
53:33
podcast who did it? He did an emergency pod. It was mergency
53:36
pod, emergency pod, which I actually appreciate and like,
53:40
Oh, fantastic that you already you appreciate? Because you got
53:44
the clip. You pre clipped it for me? Exactly. Here's the
53:46
introduction. This is
53:47
Unknown: the kind of spirit that built America. And this is the
53:50
spirit that's going to help us make America great again. I
53:57
stand before you today filled with respect and admiration for
54:02
what the Bitcoin community has achieved. It's incredible
54:05
actually, I sort of say to my sons, it's like incredible
54:10
because they know so much about it is so this aware of it much
54:14
more so than people that are a little bit older. But I say this
54:18
is the steel industry of 100 years ago really is I think
54:21
you're just in your infancy I can see it happening. In just 15
54:26
years, Bitcoin has gone from merely an idea posted
54:29
anonymously on an internet message board to being the ninth
54:34
most valuable asset anywhere in the world. Can you believe that?
54:38
Is that right? That's a big deal. The reason I've come to
54:44
address the Bitcoin community today can be summed up into very
54:51
simple words. America first, because if we don't do it, China
54:55
is going to be doing there's going to be doing it. Let's do
54:58
it and do it right
55:00
Adam Curry: So we know it was
55:03
John C Dvorak: wow, I know I twisted that one into America
55:06
first. Oh
55:07
Adam Curry: gets better. This is the kind
55:09
Unknown: of spirit that built America and this is the spirit
55:12
that's going to help us make America great again. So what do
55:18
I stand before you today filled with respect and admiration for
55:23
what the Bitcoin community has achieved? It's incredible
55:26
actually. I sort of say to my sons, it's like incredible
55:31
because they know so much about it is so this aware
55:34
Adam Curry: of it. But wait, did I just play this? This? Yeah,
55:36
you
55:37
John C Dvorak: play this clip, or
55:38
Adam Curry: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. So I only have
55:42
a couple here. The most surprising, which I thought was
55:46
really interesting. It surprised him too, is when he made this
55:50
statement. He said a lot about Elizabeth Warren and Pocahontas
55:53
and she hates you, and I'm not gonna let him do anything.
55:56
Unknown: This afternoon. I'm laying out my plan to ensure
55:59
that the United States will be the crypto capital of the planet
56:03
and the Bitcoin superpower of the world and we'll get it done.
56:11
If crypto is going to define the future, I want to be mined,
56:15
minted and made in the USA, it's going to be it's not going to be
56:20
made anywhere else. And if bitcoin is going to the moon, as
56:24
we say, as going to the moon, I want America to be the nation
56:28
that leads the way and that's what's going to happen. Though
56:32
you're going to be very happy with me. I pledged to the
56:35
Bitcoin community, that the day I take the oath of office, Joe
56:39
Biden, Kamala Harris's anti crypto crusade will be over it
56:43
will end it'll be done. It'll be done. Elizabeth Warren and her
56:50
goons and she's very nasty to you. She hates your people. She
56:54
hates everything about you. We'll keep their hands off.
56:57
Bitcoin. They're gonna keep your head their hands of crypto, they
57:00
gotta let it grow. We're gonna let it grow. On day one. I will
57:04
fire Gary Gensler and appoint a new CTO
57:18
I didn't know what it was that unpopular.
57:21
Adam Curry: He was really surprised by that even he went
57:23
back and he said it again. I'm gonna fire that guy. I took out
57:26
all of the other applauses because there was just a lot of
57:29
it. The biggest one was an obvious one. It was a it was a
57:33
gimme. Almost today
57:34
Unknown: I repeat my pledge to commute the sentence of Ross
57:38
Ulbricht to a set time, sir, it's enough. It's enough.
57:48
Adam Curry: So that's Ross Ulbricht of Silk Road. I think
57:51
he's been in jail for 10 years. So oh, the Silk Road guy road
57:55
guy. Yeah. So here so then he lays out his his strategic plan
58:00
his policy,
58:01
Unknown: many Americans do not realize that the United States
58:04
governor is among the largest holders of Bitcoin. Does anyone
58:09
know that? How about that? The federal government has almost
58:13
210,000 Bitcoin or 1% of the total supply that will ever
58:18
exist. But for too long, our government has violated the
58:22
cardinal rule that every Bitcoin er knows, by heart, never sell
58:27
your Bitcoin. Right? That's right. That's right. How did I
58:38
figure that one? Never said your Bitcoin. And so the final part
58:43
of my plan today, I am announcing that if I am elected,
58:47
it will be the policy of my administration United States of
58:52
America to keep 100% Of all the Bitcoin the US Government
58:57
currently holds or acquires into the future will keep 100% I hope
59:02
you do well, please. This will serve in effect as the core of
59:08
the strategic national Bitcoin stockpile.
59:12
Adam Curry: Okay, so, right after he was done, Senator
59:16
Loomis from Wyoming came on and she had already written the
59:19
policy for the strategic Bitcoin reserve, which includes
59:26
purchasing up to 1 million Bitcoin in the next five years.
59:32
And I guess kind of the good thing is that it would be taken
59:36
from the Federal Reserve's I don't know extra gold chips they
59:40
got laying around or something but they wouldn't the idea is
59:42
that would not print new 1
59:44
John C Dvorak: million Bitcoin. Yeah. $1 million with a Bitcoin
59:48
one because that's $65 trillion. I don't think so.
59:51
Adam Curry: No, I think that's 65 billion. I don't think it's
59:54
65 trillion. I don't I don't think it's 65 trillion. Okay,
59:59
good. Be 65 billion. But here's the kicker. And then I want to
1:00:03
play RFK. two clips. Here's the kicker, as I'm hanging out, this
1:00:07
is so opposite of what of what Trump was talking about. I mean,
1:00:12
really what isn't 180 He's like no as it is a danger to the US
1:00:16
dollar. But then he kind of uncloaked and there was a lot of
1:00:20
silence when he talked about this
1:00:23
Unknown: as part of our effort to provide regulatory clarity,
1:00:26
we will create a framework to enable the safe, responsible
1:00:30
expansion of stable, stable coins. Do you know what a stable
1:00:35
coin is? Does anybody know please raise your hand, allowing
1:00:38
us to extend the dominance of the US dollar to new frontiers
1:00:43
all around the world, America will be richer, the world will
1:00:46
be better and there will be billions and billions of people
1:00:50
brought into crypto economy and storing their savings in
1:00:53
Bitcoin.
1:00:54
Adam Curry: So he didn't really doesn't know much because the
1:00:56
pronunciate stable coins on stable coin is how it's
1:00:59
pronounced. So the idea here is you're going to back the stable
1:01:04
coin, that'll be the expansion of the US dollar, essentially,
1:01:06
that'll be the digital dollar. I think he's all in on that. And
1:01:09
you can hear there was no enthusiasm for it. And he even
1:01:13
said, Oh, this is bitcoin is good. Those
1:01:15
Unknown: who say that Bitcoin is a threat to the dollar have the
1:01:18
story exactly backwards? I believe it is exactly backwards.
1:01:22
Bitcoin is not threatening the dollar, the behavior of the
1:01:26
current US government is really threatening the dollar.
1:01:32
Adam Curry: So we'll see what that policy really means. But
1:01:35
the stable coin business. I don't think that's very good. He
1:01:39
did say that he would always protect self custody, which is a
1:01:44
hot button issue for the Bitcoiners as well as create a
1:01:48
task force made of Bitcoiners who would be working for the
1:01:53
Bitcoin industry. Now, what is interesting is the day before
1:01:57
RFK, Jr. Did his speech at Bitcoin, clearly and understands
1:02:03
much more about the Bitcoin community about Bitcoin itself.
1:02:08
And here's his intro right there different viewpoints. I found
1:02:12
the most striking feature of Bitcoin community is this kind
1:02:16
of paradoxical just juxtaposition, marked by fears,
1:02:22
visions on several minor issues, and an overwhelming sense of
1:02:26
unity within the larger Bitcoin Bitcoin ecosystem. The Bitcoin
1:02:32
community reminds me of how American politics ought to be
1:02:36
fiercely diverse, but ultimately United our aspirations and our
1:02:42
belief in our country, and in our convictions that America is
1:02:46
worth the fight. I am so glad to be back for my second Bitcoin
1:02:51
Conference. Since last year in Miami, I've been meeting with
1:02:55
leaders and thinkers from this community. I've conferred with
1:02:59
Bitcoin miners, with policymakers, with economists,
1:03:04
with financial experts, with investors and developers,
1:03:09
entrepreneurs, to deepen my understanding of the
1:03:13
extraordinary promise of Bitcoin for our country, and for a
1:03:18
planet. I think he understands this group much better. And he
1:03:24
also laid out his policy. It's interesting, he uses a very
1:03:26
similar type of policy to what Trump announced the day after,
1:03:30
after. After all, I've learned I intend, as President United
1:03:37
States to sign an executive order on day one, directing the
1:03:42
Department of Justice and the US marshals to transfer the
1:03:47
approximately 200,000 Bitcoin held by the US government to the
1:03:53
United States Treasury, where it will be held as a strategic
1:03:58
asset.
1:04:09
On day one, as President, I will sign another executive order
1:04:14
directing the US Treasury to purchase 550 Bitcoin daily until
1:04:21
the US has built reserve of at least 4 million Bitcoins.
1:04:34
Had a position of dominance and no other country will be able to
1:04:39
use her. Our nation holds approximately 19% of global gold
1:04:45
reserves. This policy will give us about the same proportion of
1:04:51
total Bitcoin. The cascading impact on these actions will
1:04:56
eventually move Bitcoin to a valuation of hundreds of
1:05:00
trillions of dollars on day one as President, I will sign also
1:05:06
an executive order directing the IRS to issue public guidelines
1:05:12
that all transactions between Bitcoin and the US dollar are
1:05:17
unrepeatable transactions
1:05:26
and by extension, non taxable, so,
1:05:31
John C Dvorak: you know that well, he's not going to be
1:05:33
president, that's never going to happen, but it does give me some
1:05:36
insight into how the economy is going to eventually collapse.
1:05:40
So,
1:05:40
Adam Curry: there's that tell me
1:05:43
John C Dvorak: where you start? I'm just gonna leave it at that.
1:05:48
Adam Curry: What? I don't Okay. I just don't understand what
1:05:51
you're saying. I understand what you're saying that
1:05:53
John C Dvorak: Bitcoin is not sustainable.
1:05:59
Adam Curry: not sustainable.
1:06:00
John C Dvorak: And if it goes back to its original value of 25
1:06:03
cents, it's going to cause economic havoc. Okay.
1:06:09
Adam Curry: Well see, see it in 19 years. I have a different
1:06:17
belief there,
1:06:18
John C Dvorak: ya know, and don't sell whatever you do.
1:06:20
Adam Curry: know, I've never ever heard President Trump told
1:06:23
me never ever sell your Bitcoin. Why would I do that? But the the
1:06:27
point that he's making? I don't I don't know how many bitcoins I
1:06:31
think there's there's three Bitcoin three and a half Bitcoin
1:06:34
are created every every 10 minutes. So that's, what is that
1:06:39
homeless? Oh, that's a times six is 18 times 24. He would be
1:06:44
really wanting the US to buy more Bitcoin that are created on
1:06:49
daily basis. So that would, that would definitely increase the
1:06:53
price. Yeah, because it'd be taking it off the market. Well,
1:06:57
but you try to Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I love Kennedy,
1:07:02
John C Dvorak: you know, is a huge Kennedy as if he was
1:07:05
allowed to be the Democrat that he is, would be a huge threat to
1:07:10
the Republicans. He could easily win the presidency.
1:07:14
Unfortunately, that he is against the Democrat policy and
1:07:19
the Democrat. The fact is Jen Psaki clips are a good example,
1:07:23
what I'm going to say, which is the Democrats have been
1:07:26
gaslighting the public, they've been lying to the public, they
1:07:28
are unbeli. And I wonder, I've said it before, and I'm going to
1:07:32
backtrack a little bit. I am wondering, you know, I've said
1:07:37
that they're sincere. And now I'm beginning to be I'm
1:07:42
beginning to doubt myself. Insofar as their sincerity is
1:07:47
concerned, because it because of these Jen Psaki clips bring up
1:07:51
are you kidding me? Are you really that stupid? Are you
1:07:57
sincere about this? Because I'm beginning to doubt it. Now. I'm
1:08:00
thinking that they're just basic liars. Can Ivers well
1:08:05
Adam Curry: hold on a second? You mean the media? Not not the
1:08:08
Democrats themselves, but the media who are on the Democrat
1:08:12
payroll or whatever? However, that works.
1:08:16
John C Dvorak: It's the it's the structure of the Democrat Party
1:08:19
as a whole. The media is just part
1:08:21
Adam Curry: of it. Yeah. Yeah. Including Fox.
1:08:25
John C Dvorak: Fox to so to a much lesser extent I have for
1:08:30
Jen Psaki clips from this morning. And one it's a it's
1:08:38
ridiculous.
1:08:40
Adam Curry: Well, is she drunk? Because I think that Well, she's
1:08:43
John C Dvorak: I don't think she does. She doesn't listen to it
1:08:45
by the words Pete budaj says,
1:08:48
Adam Curry: Do you think that when she says rice president
1:08:50
that's being racist against Indians? Just thinking I just
1:08:55
thought, curry
1:08:57
John C Dvorak: maybe. Okay. First of all, there's the intro
1:09:01
clip that she has as a teaser, and this is not part of the
1:09:04
regular set of clips here. But I just want to throw it in as one
1:09:08
example of of insincerity and add basic line. Just this is the
1:09:15
beginning of her show, and later,
1:09:16
Unknown: JD Vance's comments about childless cat ladies is
1:09:20
just plain weird. And somehow, his attempt at a cleanup only
1:09:24
made things weirder.
1:09:27
Adam Curry: Yeah, this is a very old statement he made and it's
1:09:30
funny.
1:09:30
John C Dvorak: 2011 to be exact.
1:09:32
Adam Curry: It's funny.
1:09:34
John C Dvorak: He talks about childless cat ladies who were
1:09:37
who hate themselves. And she says there that is weird. Is
1:09:41
this weird to you? Have you you've ever heard of a cat lady?
1:09:45
I mean, the Simpsons have a cat lady as a character has been a
1:09:48
character for 30 years or more. I don't understand how that's
1:09:53
weird. Well,
1:09:54
Adam Curry: the old I mean of all the leaders. There's a lot
1:09:58
of childless cat ladies we have Have I remember a Merkel
1:10:02
childless cat lady? How about Maloney? Does she have kids? She
1:10:06
might be a childless cat lady. Back. I mean, yeah, it's like,
1:10:12
okay. I mean, they've been stereo what they've been using
1:10:16
this for because, you know, of course I didn't clip but they
1:10:18
will be using it to say, oh, Trump is already regretting his
1:10:22
VP. He's gotta be regretted. He's gonna be regretting it
1:10:26
because look at all these look at this stupid thing he said 13
1:10:31
years ago? Oh, no. 30 years ago, was it that long?
1:10:36
John C Dvorak: It Well, yeah, it was 2011 when he said it. Wow. I
1:10:41
mean, the stuff that Kamala says three years ago, in 2020 when
1:10:46
she was running she has all these crazy things she said, but
1:10:48
that we don't pay attention to that but we go back to you know,
1:10:52
2011 for this Vance comment which isn't weird. It childless
1:10:56
cat lady is a is a stereotype that I think a lot of people
1:11:01
have ridiculed Sure,
1:11:03
Adam Curry: cat ladies for sure. And cat ladies are often
1:11:07
childless.
1:11:09
John C Dvorak: So let's go to the basic clips here. And now I
1:11:12
want you to listen carefully. Now. I'm going to pre pre bunk
1:11:17
Oh, no. I'm gonna just so people can hear it as it comes about.
1:11:23
They bring they're going to talk about Trump and the fact that he
1:11:26
you know, he's what he said to the Christian group, which we
1:11:29
understand everyone understands, but they don't. So so they start
1:11:33
talking about Trump's style of oratory and the fact that he,
1:11:38
you can take it literally or figuratively, or you can take it
1:11:41
seriously or non seriously, the script is screwed up. Buttigieg
1:11:47
blows it and he says, Will people wonder when you can take
1:11:51
Trump literally or seriously? Oh,
1:11:56
Adam Curry: he that should have been figuratively.
1:11:59
John C Dvorak: Serious, literally and seriously are
1:12:02
exactly the same thing. Yes. So that's not a choice that you'd
1:12:06
make. So he would say seriously or And seriously, or literally
1:12:10
and figuratively. But no, he says literally or seriously. Jen
1:12:16
Psaki chokes doesn't correct him because she could do it right at
1:12:21
the beginning when he says this and say no, you mean figured
1:12:24
out? Oh, yeah, yeah, Navy with a with a reset and gone onto there
1:12:28
complaining. But she doesn't do that she chokes it, because
1:12:32
she's not good. She's not a good interviewer. She's not
1:12:34
listening. And she doesn't know how to save something. So it
1:12:39
gets just goes downhill. Because they add, so she at the very
1:12:43
last clip was clip for she would have a three guide this started
1:12:48
with two. She kind of completely chokes it. But I wanted to
1:12:54
listen to this. And we're, this is what this really bothers me
1:12:57
that they're taken Trump. They're taking they're taking
1:13:01
Trump out of context. And then they're, they're analyzing it
1:13:04
poorly. Here we go, well,
1:13:06
Unknown: it's officially 100 days until the election. So that
1:13:09
means it's 100 days to make sure your polling place hasn't
1:13:12
changed 100 days to figure out if you're gonna vote by mail or
1:13:15
vote in person. And of course, there's a lot that will happen
1:13:18
between now and then. We already know the stakes in this
1:13:22
election. And Donald Trump just reminded us that in 100 days,
1:13:26
it's really not just a normal election. It's an election where
1:13:29
we decide if we still want to hold elections again. And
1:13:33
again, Christians get out and vote just as time. You won't
1:13:41
have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It'll be
1:13:45
fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore. My
1:13:48
beautiful Christians. I love you Christians. In four years. You
1:13:51
don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed. So good. You're
1:13:54
not gonna have to
1:13:56
inform are yours. You're not gonna have to vote again. But
1:13:58
his words, those aren't my words. That's Donald Trump's
1:14:00
words. So those are the stakes. Yeah, it's frightening. It
1:14:04
shouldn't be. The good news, though, is that a lot of good
1:14:07
things happen this week for the Democratic ticket. Oh,
1:14:10
Adam Curry: interesting. So she's taking that as you
1:14:15
Christians, Christians, elect president, he's
1:14:19
John C Dvorak: dropping the Christians part. She's just
1:14:21
taken this and this is every she's not the only one doing
1:14:24
this. And what she's trying to do is, it's like, there'll be no
1:14:28
more like dictator from day one.
1:14:30
Adam Curry: Yeah, there'd be no more elections. I'll be a
1:14:32
dictator just have to do it now. And then you don't have to worry
1:14:34
about it ever again. That's
1:14:36
John C Dvorak: exactly what she's saying is happening, as
1:14:38
she says is frightening. Now, anyone who's who's serious and
1:14:43
knows about Christian voters, knows that there are a hard nut
1:14:47
to crack in certain elections with certain people, they just
1:14:50
don't vote. And it's been a known fact for a long time. And
1:14:54
it's always like, Oh, God, we got it. We did George Bush,
1:14:57
George W. Bush got to Christians to vote because he faked being a
1:15:02
super Christian and nobody's seriously believed him. But it
1:15:07
was a big deal to get the evangelicals who are lazy voters
1:15:12
to get out to vote and get them to vote. So this is what Trump
1:15:16
is doing. He's talking to a Christian group and he's saying,
1:15:18
Look Christians, let's vote for me because because I know you
1:15:23
know, we all know that you don't like voting. And so this this
1:15:27
one time vote, you won't have to worry about it after that.
1:15:30
That's it. Everyone knows what this means. John is not saying
1:15:33
this is the last time you ever gonna get to vote. John, it
1:15:36
worked on
1:15:37
Adam Curry: me I immediately couldn't wait to vote. Trump has
1:15:41
got me No, no,
1:15:42
John C Dvorak: you're never have to vote again. Cuz you won't be
1:15:44
allowed to vote because he's gonna be dictator from day one.
1:15:48
This is the threat to democracy we're talking about. So at this
1:15:52
point, I can't believe that this is sincerity. This is bullcrap.
1:15:59
This is a blatant lie, and she's trying to pull this off blue
1:16:02
Adam Curry: dress, gold dress type deal like this is I don't
1:16:05
think it's even I think it's just complete. Bullshit. What's
1:16:09
interesting is that clip, I don't think I have it because
1:16:12
right after that, he says, I'm a I'm a Christian, but you I saw
1:16:17
it on Twitter, people saying Trump just said he's not a
1:16:19
Christian. And when you when someone prompts you as saying,
1:16:23
he said, I'm not a Christian. It sounds like he's saying, I'm not
1:16:26
a Christian. But he said, I'm a Christian. And she cut that up
1:16:32
for some reason. I don't understand why, because that
1:16:34
would have been even funnier. But see that part that that
1:16:38
subtlety, which you could have easily,
1:16:40
John C Dvorak: but I think is because they don't care about
1:16:42
the Christian part. They're trying to get the Christian
1:16:44
angle out. Yeah, you're right. He's just wants people to vote
1:16:47
from this one time, because you're not going to get a chance
1:16:49
to vote again, ever, Christian or not? That's what she's
1:16:52
saying, Well, this is a you don't wish that would that would
1:16:55
ruin the point. Do
1:16:56
Adam Curry: you think her audience buys into this?
1:17:01
John C Dvorak: I think some of them do. Because they're stupid.
1:17:03
And I come to the conclusion. And I may go way back on this,
1:17:07
and I got a couple of comments to make after the last clip. I
1:17:11
think they're, I think the Democrats take advantage of
1:17:15
their audience. They get them because the Democrat Party is
1:17:17
like it's a club. You join it with our cult demon. And you
1:17:21
want you're a Democrat? Oh, yeah, Democrats, because most
1:17:23
people don't pay attention. They just vote Democrat. And so the
1:17:27
ones who do pay attention, they listen to her and she's just
1:17:30
goading them. Look, what this guy's gonna do is a threat to
1:17:33
democracy. He's not gonna have elections anymore, which is all
1:17:36
impossible. But okay, because none of the people that listen
1:17:40
to this stuff, have ever taken a civics course, who knows how the
1:17:44
country works. So now, we bring in Pete, and here we go.
1:17:49
Unknown: So me now as Pete Buttigieg, he is appearing in
1:17:51
his personal capacity, not his official world as a member of
1:17:55
the Biden administration. So I'm awkwardly not going to call you
1:17:57
Mr. Secretary or mayor. That's where we are great to be here.
1:18:00
Thank you so much for being here with me, for having me. So I
1:18:03
just I played that clip of Donald Trump saying in four
1:18:07
years, you won't have to vote again. I mean, he's made similar
1:18:09
statements before. For Governor Chris Sununu was on after you on
1:18:14
Fox News This Morning. He said it's just classic Trumpism. I
1:18:17
think it's pretty important to call out what did you think when
1:18:19
you heard him say that? Yeah,
1:18:20
I mean, candidly, I don't completely understand what he
1:18:23
means. I don't want to have to worry about what he means. It's
1:18:27
yet another reason why we've got to make sure he doesn't get
1:18:30
reelected. You know, I remember a few years ago, there were some
1:18:33
commentators who sounded clever by saying, you know, the problem
1:18:38
with Democrats is we were taking Trump literally, we should have
1:18:41
taken him seriously. And smart people were taking him seriously
1:18:44
instead of taking him literally. But when he says something like
1:18:47
that, or when he says something like, wanting a political
1:18:51
opponent like Liz Cheney, a congresswoman who criticized him
1:18:55
to be tried in a televised military tribunal. I don't know
1:18:59
whether to take that literally. Or seriously. Either way, it's
1:19:02
bad news.
1:19:07
Adam Curry: You had something to say I'm waiting. Well,
1:19:09
John C Dvorak: you know, I did after the last clip. But let me
1:19:11
say I want to say yes. Did you hear what would happen there?
1:19:15
What a mess it was.
1:19:17
Adam Curry: Well, and and here's what else I want to say this
1:19:20
about that. Buddha judge when he was on Bill Maher show, he was
1:19:25
quite impressive. And he was not reading a script. He was just
1:19:30
talking and I can see where when people just talk to him. He's,
1:19:36
he's, he's actually quite endearing. He's the he was
1:19:40
enamoring in a way. I'm like, well, the guys actually, he
1:19:43
didn't have any of these dumb gaffes. But when he's in a
1:19:46
scripted environment, he sucks. And that's what you heard. He's
1:19:50
like, he he's, he's probably an actually a good guy. And when
1:19:56
he's doing something evil, his his brain won't allow it any
1:19:59
good. goes off the rails.
1:20:03
John C Dvorak: Well, that's what happened this time, and it was
1:20:05
obviously scripted. Yeah. And she made a big point about him
1:20:08
being there as a private citizen, give me a break. And
1:20:12
then he says, literally or seriously, and they makes that a
1:20:16
dichotomy.
1:20:17
Adam Curry: Not three times he
1:20:19
John C Dvorak: did it. Oh, yes. And she's like, unfortunately,
1:20:22
she is incompetent as a host. And she didn't stop it, which he
1:20:28
should have done right away when she heard it if she was
1:20:30
listening, but she's one of these you know, she's scripted
1:20:32
to Yes. And so now it just completely falls apart. And then
1:20:36
you have to just assume that this is just, this is not
1:20:41
sincerity. This is just lying. Either way, it's
1:20:44
Unknown: bad news. Either way, if
1:20:45
he's saying I want to eliminate a system, so nobody has to vote
1:20:48
again. That's a huge problem. And we should take that both of
1:20:51
those of those ways.
1:20:54
Adam Curry: We should take that both of those ways.
1:20:57
John C Dvorak: Both were Yeah, would that mean otherwise you
1:20:59
take it literally and seriously. Oh, so she just drops she blows
1:21:05
it up. Now I want to mention something here that I've never
1:21:08
talked about. But when I was writing editore, or op eds for
1:21:12
the San Francisco Examiner, I, I ran into this book. And I had
1:21:17
worked with Tom bass was was State Assemblyman he was also
1:21:21
became Tom Bates. Bates. He used to be mayor of Berkeley, and his
1:21:27
wife was the mayor of Berkeley, and he was Assemblyman for a
1:21:29
long time. And back in the 60s or 70s, he wrote a book, which I
1:21:34
got a hold of, because somebody tipped me off about it. I would
1:21:39
challenge people to try to find this book. Bates is one of the
1:21:42
authors, I think there's about three or four author authors.
1:21:44
It's called the wealth of cities. And the wealth of cities
1:21:51
describes a process that done a Democrat process of how to rape
1:21:57
City's coffers to benefit you, the Democrat Party. And it
1:22:04
includes the idea that if you got, you get a hold of the city,
1:22:07
you take it over, then you take or take over a whole state like
1:22:11
the Democrats have done in California. And then you put
1:22:13
your cronies in place, you give them high paying jobs. And I've
1:22:17
run into guys in the area that that are beneficiaries of this
1:22:22
policy. Include including too many to mention, but I do know
1:22:28
this, they did set up a series of low income housing that they
1:22:34
were going to give away to the poor. And they built these
1:22:38
beautiful condos, I can point them out to anybody who wants to
1:22:41
me to drive them by them. They're in Berkeley, and instead
1:22:44
of the poor living in them, they were given to various political
1:22:48
cronies in the Democrat party. It was all part of the strategy
1:22:51
listed in this book, which is they bought most of them back up
1:22:55
because there was this embarrassment of the Democrat
1:22:57
party called the wealth of city in his cities. And as this
1:23:01
happened in that in by that Raji some weird Indian guru that took
1:23:06
over a town in Oregon. The guy with the orange, the orange guy,
1:23:14
yeah, with the 45 mercy or not Mercedes, but Rolls Royces.
1:23:18
Yeah, they took over a city and they did the same thing. They
1:23:22
use the wealth the city strategy you take over as you get enough
1:23:26
voters that vote yourself in and then you steal all the tax money
1:23:30
and your tax even more which are doing in California as well.
1:23:33
There's still potholes. And you just put cronies in office and
1:23:37
give yourself big salaries. This is a scam
1:23:40
Adam Curry: the Bhagwan guy that's who it was the Bhagwan,
1:23:42
Bhagwan, yeah,
1:23:43
John C Dvorak: and it's this huge the Hari Krishna is I think
1:23:45
is what the group was
1:23:46
Adam Curry: Hari Krishna is Yeah, I think you're right. It
1:23:48
was the Hari Krishna is
1:23:49
John C Dvorak: and this is unbelievable to me. I do these
1:23:53
people cannot be trusted. The Democrat Party is the most
1:23:56
corrupt operation I've ever run into having been a Democrat, a
1:24:00
good part of my life. Well,
1:24:02
Adam Curry: we we need a copy of that, by the way. Oh, boy,
1:24:04
John C Dvorak: I can find it bass about this book, when I was
1:24:07
writing for the examiner. And he was really sheepish about it.
1:24:11
And I was just when I was a young young man. And he you
1:24:15
know, said it was bullshit.
1:24:16
Adam Curry: Well, we need a copy of this book and I now command
1:24:19
our producers to go find out there is someone out there who
1:24:23
knows how to get their hands on a copy. We'll see. And with
1:24:27
that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the
1:24:29
morning to you the man who put the sea in the wealth of cities

John C Dvorak: what puppy? Oh no I didn't fire off the puppy I
1:25:10

John C Dvorak: You know the funny thing is I may have a copy
1:25:33
that I've had photocopy from the University of California
1:25:36
photocopying service Yeah, I'm sure you have a copy last in the
1:25:40
house. Yep.
1:25:42
Adam Curry: Don't open the closet whatever you do, don't go
1:25:44
looking for it please. We want to have another show Thursday.
1:25:48
Those trolls are in the troll room at troll room.io They were
1:25:51
a lot of them were on the stream for bands of Bitcoin it was it
1:25:54
was quite a Hootenanny who had a good time. I even did I went
1:25:57
against my my beliefs and I streamed the booster Graham ball
1:26:02
live and I also did video
1:26:06
John C Dvorak: he did video Yeah.
1:26:09
Adam Curry: Well, videos Oh saying a lot. But I had. So I
1:26:13
had I was streaming my screen with you know, my, my DJ set it
1:26:19
with me and a little corner of my face.
1:26:22
John C Dvorak: So you're down in the corner? Yeah, like the cat.
1:26:25
Exactly what you're talking
1:26:28
Adam Curry: cat, exactly. The dog and cat wherever we need
1:26:31
bring back the talking cat, everybody. So people were in the
1:26:34
troll room troll room.io. Of course, they were using the
1:26:37
modern podcast apps because that's where you can do live
1:26:40
streaming and get notified every single time a new band came on,
1:26:43
you got a notification about it. It was pretty it was pretty
1:26:45
cool. podcast apps.com is where you get one of those support
1:26:50
your independent podcast apps. If not, you'll be very sorry
1:26:54
when you see it because there will be one of your favorite
1:26:56
podcasts just gonna poop just gonna disappear from Apple, as
1:27:00
they might as well start importing your, your favorite
1:27:02
podcasts from all of those legacy apps. What do you laugh?
1:27:07
What are you laughing
1:27:08
John C Dvorak: live, we'll open up the art generators he'll see.
1:27:13
Adam Curry: Okay. We run value for value, which is a roller
1:27:17
coaster of life, it means we put out the show with no expectation
1:27:21
other than that you'll support us with value in return. And we
1:27:25
take that in time, talent and treasure. You can do all we
1:27:28
actually we got a lot of meetup reports, which is kind of fun,
1:27:32
which we'll be doing later on. But before that, we want to
1:27:35
thank some other people who give us valuable, very valuable work.
1:27:40
It is our artists. And we want to thank the artists for episode
1:27:44
16 ad we titled that seismic Sunday, which was mentioned in
1:27:48
the show and the art was brought to us by yet another Dutch
1:27:51
master Matthew drop Co. He's been Dutch masters since the
1:27:55
early 1700s. And there we have it, it was a piece of AI was the
1:28:01
best one we felt we did look at a couple other things. We'll
1:28:04
talk about that. But this was while we think that was the
1:28:09
original Joe with Kamala Harris as he's passing the ice cream
1:28:13
cone. A lot of people liked this art they thought it was funny.
1:28:18
They immediately said hey, hey, I still can't do hands and
1:28:22
fingers right? Which is true. Kamala had three fingers Joe had
1:28:26
five
1:28:28
John C Dvorak: you what's funny is that a friend of mine who
1:28:32
teaches art drawing at the Art Center in Pasadena once told me
1:28:38
when you're looking at art to purchase he says the hardest
1:28:41
thing for actual artists to do is hands
1:28:45
Adam Curry: Yeah,
1:28:45
John C Dvorak: oh sure. Sure is to do a realistic hand in
1:28:50
there's little hand miles and all these things but as he says
1:28:53
that is the number one hard thing so you always look at the
1:28:55
hands to see if the artist does any good. And you'll find that
1:28:59
very few of them can do hands so it doesn't really shouldn't be a
1:29:02
shock that the AI can't do hands because artists themselves can't
1:29:08
do hands and it's hard
1:29:09
Adam Curry: to do this wealth of cities that's not by Norquist is
1:29:12
it
1:29:15
John C Dvorak: I don't think so. It's got Bates has got to be one
1:29:17
of the authors. Okay,
1:29:18
Adam Curry: yeah, cuz people are sending me this. Oh, look at
1:29:21
Grover Norquist
1:29:22
John C Dvorak: is the guy who is that? No. This book should be
1:29:26
from the 60s or 70s Not anything.
1:29:29
Adam Curry: This is John Norquist. Oh, it's
1:29:32
John C Dvorak: not Grover.
1:29:32
Adam Curry: No. No, let me see when is it from his from?
1:29:37
Doesn't say anyway, I don't think that's the one. No, the
1:29:41
wealth of cities Norquist chronicles the decay of urban
1:29:44
centers. No, no,
1:29:45
John C Dvorak: no, that's not it's not about decay. It's about
1:29:47
exploitation, fake news,
1:29:49
Adam Curry: fake news. Everybody is fake news. So let's look at
1:29:54
some of the other submissions that we didn't choose. I
1:29:57
remember I was pushing for something pretty Hard was
1:30:00
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you were pushing for the laughing
1:30:02
coconut.
1:30:03
Unknown: I love the laughing
1:30:04
Adam Curry: coconut and you thought it was gruesome? It was
1:30:08
John C Dvorak: there's nothing more gruesome than a big human
1:30:11
mouth on something other than a human.
1:30:13
Adam Curry: I thought it was great it was.
1:30:16
John C Dvorak: I thought like sometimes you really fall for
1:30:18
gruesome art.
1:30:20
Adam Curry: But it wasn't that gruesome and you know this you
1:30:23
had two credits.
1:30:24
John C Dvorak: Creepy. Okay, it wasn't gruesome. You're right.
1:30:26
It's creepy. So
1:30:27
Adam Curry: you had two credits. And I just said you now have one
1:30:29
credit line No, no, no, yet no, this does not qualify as, as you
1:30:35
said gruesome and now you're backpedaling.
1:30:39
John C Dvorak: It's gruesome and creepy. That's it's gruesome and
1:30:43
creepy. was trying to get out of the hole.
1:30:46
Adam Curry: So it was Kamala. She's also creepy. Let's see
1:30:51
what else there was. Now the one that you wanted, which you use
1:30:53
ultimately for the newsletter was the totally Joe where it's a
1:30:57
Joe Biden sitting behind three mics and you you got this author
1:31:01
from drop CO by the way. You got it right away, because this is a
1:31:04
throwback callback.
1:31:06
John C Dvorak: Yes. And yeah, I had to explain it to you. Yep,
1:31:08
you did. And it's a callback to a Star Trek episode. From the
1:31:14
late I think probably the first or second season, where some
1:31:19
some Star Trek captain had to move to some, some planet to
1:31:26
help modernize it, but they ended up turning into a Nazi
1:31:30
state. They drugged him and then put him behind microphones to
1:31:34
turn over the government to a bunch of fascists. And that is
1:31:39
what this represents. And so only like, Star Trek junkies or
1:31:45
lunatics that have a long memory of would remember this wasn't a
1:31:49
good pick for the for the show, because it's too obscure. It's
1:31:53
an obscure joke. Yes, it was the one the one I liked and I was
1:31:58
trying to promote was the Taunton Neil, no agenda Kamala
1:32:05
Adam Curry: comme la la, comme Mala. You're saying it wrong?
1:32:09
No, it's
1:32:09
John C Dvorak: Camela. Well, I
1:32:11
Adam Curry: didn't like that it
1:32:12
John C Dvorak: rhymes with Pamela. Pamela Camelus. Easy way
1:32:15
to remember how to do it right.
1:32:16
Adam Curry: The Dutch master Taunton, Neil, I was against it
1:32:19
because it has a gruesome green color, which is her color, which
1:32:22
is the Bratz color.
1:32:23
John C Dvorak: You know, I had to relent? Yes, you did. And
1:32:26
Adam Curry: then you said, Well, how about the one next to it
1:32:27
from Darren I like she's wearing a British flag outfit is no
1:32:31
good.
1:32:33
John C Dvorak: Well, then we let's go back to this green.
1:32:35
This green is really bad. And it's really if it was anything
1:32:41
and then you also mentioned that the Comala doll. I said Kumala
1:32:46
is that it? Can Camela Yeah, that Camela doll is didn't look
1:32:50
like her? No,
1:32:51
Adam Curry: no at all at all. No, no, that was Taunton. Neil
1:32:54
just threw some stuff together.
1:32:56
John C Dvorak: So it was a botch. Yeah, yeah. It was a
1:32:58
botch.
1:32:59
Adam Curry: And I don't think there was anything else pop up.
1:33:04
John C Dvorak: I did like the ACT Blue Grass Roots cleaning
1:33:07
professional showing the money laundering. And you just nixed
1:33:11
that period. Boom. Yeah.
1:33:12
Adam Curry: Well, clearly you agree with me, because you got
1:33:15
chits, you got credits. So you would have pulled you would have
1:33:17
thrown into credit. Which you did. You did. You threw in a
1:33:20
crib. You threw in lies. And I did also like Scarem, Angus
1:33:25
Camela, which is the camel with are coming out of his mouth. I
1:33:30
thought that Yeah. And
1:33:31
John C Dvorak: I thought it was just a pun. That was no good.
1:33:33
Well, we will punt.
1:33:35
Adam Curry: We congratulate Matthew Dropo. On the winning
1:33:40
the
1:33:40
John C Dvorak: lottery, we had some art to talk about at least
1:33:43
Yeah,
1:33:43
Adam Curry: we did. And it looks like we'll have more to talk
1:33:45
about for this show is indeed Yes. Funny stuff. Of course, we
1:33:50
also like to thank our executive and Associate Executive
1:33:53
producers because it is time talent and treasure. Treasure
1:33:56
does need to flow in order for us to pay bills just like
1:33:58
everybody else. And as you know, we can't do advertising or
1:34:02
anything else because the show wouldn't have been on the air
1:34:04
for almost 17 years. So we also give out credits for these
1:34:09
amounts, even though we're happy with anything that's how value
1:34:11
for value works. Whatever you can afford, whatever you find is
1:34:14
the value that you receive from the show is good with us. That's
1:34:18
all it is good with us. But like Hollywood, we'd like to thank
1:34:22
our executive and Associate Executive Producers $200 and
1:34:24
above your Associate Executive Producer real credit, you can
1:34:27
use it anywhere including imdb.com and we read your notes
1:34:30
300,000 above executive producer credit and we read your note and
1:34:34
that of course is also valid wherever credits are accepted.

1:39:38
and I think it will result in in fights breaking out because it
1:39:41
just so annoying to watch. guy takes his bag of peanuts and
1:39:46

1:39:50
makes a fist around the nuts. And then he shakes his fist to

You've got karma.
1:40:36
John C Dvorak: By the way, the entire extent of her being the
1:40:40
czar of the border, was that one comment. She, as far as she's
1:40:45
concerned, she did her job.
1:40:47
Adam Curry: But you know, it just as an aside, because people
1:40:49
sent me this legislation, which is House resolution 253. And if
1:40:58
you look at House resolution 253. It says, whereas on March,
1:41:03
this was expressing the sense of the House of Representatives
1:41:07
that Vice President Kamala Harris should be removed from
1:41:10
her position as the head of the Biden administration strategy to
1:41:14
address the root causes of migration whereas our March
1:41:17
24 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris was named borders are in
1:41:22
charge of leading efforts to stem migration across the United
1:41:25
States Mexico border. So this was a resolution that never made
1:41:30
it past introduction. But people are saying let's see, she was
1:41:34
the borders are one of that was a bunch of Republicans, you
1:41:37
know, calling her that in this resolution, but in general, she
1:41:41
was put in charge of the border and everybody knows it. But
1:41:45
yeah, I
1:41:46
John C Dvorak: don't that this is another example of what I
1:41:49
said earlier, which is a guest is gaslighting, and as an it's
1:41:54
like, done deliberately, I've got there were some sincerity
1:41:58
involved, and I'm now doubting myself about that thesis. I
1:42:01
think they're doing this purposefully. And they're
1:42:05
insincere and they're bastards.
1:42:11
Adam Curry: There you go.
1:42:15
John C Dvorak: Gary miles up. He's in Port y Nimi, which I
1:42:19
always mispronounces who Indymedia money,
1:42:22
Adam Curry: but he gave us a little bit of gave us a handy
1:42:24
Pronunciation Guide.
1:42:25
John C Dvorak: Everybody I do that with some of these towns
1:42:27
because when you look at this age guide, anybody had to take a
1:42:30
pen write this down? Hu e n, e m, e is pronounced y nimi. But
1:42:38
you would look at it and say Chu name Hina Me Me, me, or
1:42:43
something? Yeah, like the chick from Harry Potter. To 11 is what
1:42:48
he came in with greetings, cracking beause I savor the show
1:42:52
so much I limit my listening to when I'm washing dishes.
1:42:57
Adam Curry: By the way, that's when I listen to I listen to the
1:43:00
podcast doing dishes and walking the dog that's all it's all the
1:43:05
time. I can't I can't multitask driving if but I don't drive
1:43:10
that much. So
1:43:13
John C Dvorak: you don't have a dishwasher.
1:43:15
Adam Curry: I tried to avoid that conversation. But yeah, we
1:43:18
do. I just when I'm clearing out the dish, you're putting dishes
1:43:21
in the dishwasher and I'm taking them out and putting everything
1:43:24
away.
1:43:25
John C Dvorak: You're putting dishes in the dishwasher and to
1:43:27
you This means you're washing the dishes Yeah, well in some
1:43:30
way you actually are washing the dishes but in fact all right,
1:43:34
and we continue he says when I'm washing the dishes or watering
1:43:38
the garden I've been donating monthly since 2015. And finally
1:43:41
added up everything is now 2726 These night oh he hasn't even
1:43:47
been knighted. Yeah, no, please Knight me so sir Topo G Joe
1:43:51
Pfister of nuts How about that for
1:43:54
Adam Curry: random number theory
1:43:55
John C Dvorak: there you go. You just can't get away with from
1:43:58
it. I humbly request much needed jobs karma from my wife our
1:44:03
family has been mostly living paycheck by paycheck so she
1:44:07
paycheck to paycheck when she decided to quit her swanky job a
1:44:12
few years ago and hasn't found anything yet love the show it
1:44:15
keeps me in better spirits and then he has to put into it this
1:44:19
give her is getting every jobs karma that he wears he's asking
1:44:22
for his didn't ask for any jobs come up for did he
1:44:25
Adam Curry: just said he literally said he. Jobs karma.
1:44:29
Yes. All right.
1:44:30
John C Dvorak: I'm not relisting to my son.
1:44:32
Adam Curry: I'm not sure she wants a job though. That's what
1:44:34
I'm questioning here. Yeah, you know there's that Yeah, well, we
1:44:38
we are going to give it all four jobs, jobs,
1:44:42
Unknown: jobs and jobs. Jobs.
1:44:48
Adam Curry: Job karma incoming Jeffrey Anton Melbourne, Florida
1:44:52
to 1060 and he has no note. Do you have a note from Jeffrey
1:44:57
Anton I looked at it gets a coveted double of karma
1:45:04
Unknown: karma Melissa
1:45:06
John C Dvorak: Alvarez port dev vereda verde Verda verdura
1:45:13
Adam Curry: vedra Ponte very vedra Ponte ever get it Asante
1:45:17
vedra
1:45:18
John C Dvorak: Ponte Vedra Beach. It's not a just Ponte
1:45:22
Vedra, it's a beach Yes. In Florida to 10 my perfect
1:45:25
husband, poor gay. Hit me in the mouth a few years ago. I figured
1:45:30
it's time to donate because because douchebaggery is not my
1:45:34
style. You think
1:45:35
Adam Curry: she needs to deduce she's not asking for it, but
1:45:39
John C Dvorak: I would think she'd get it. Yeah, I would give
1:45:41
her one anyway.
1:45:43
Unknown: You've been de deuced
1:45:46
John C Dvorak: I've been a fan of Adams headbangers ball and
1:45:50
respect both of you. Thank you for what you do and keep it real
1:45:53
rock.
1:45:54
Adam Curry: Rock on sister rock on. And there he is Eli, the
1:45:58
coffee guy from Bensenville Illinois 207 28. I'd like to
1:46:02
shout out a product made by a fellow producer. We came across
1:46:05
a long drink while on vacation in the Upper Peninsula. I heard
1:46:09
about this fine adult beverage during a donation segment a few
1:46:12
years ago when the owner mentioned it. I have to say they
1:46:15
make a dynamite product. I'm not normally a gin drinker, but it's
1:46:19
a great summertime super, very refreshing with a perfectly
1:46:23
balanced flavor. Now fishing. Now fishing in the afternoon is
1:46:27
even better. And for a great morning beverage visit gigawatt
1:46:31
coffee roasters.com use code ITM 20 for 20% off of your coffee
1:46:36
order. Stay caffeinated, says Eli the coffee guy. And
1:46:41
John C Dvorak: I will recommend if anybody has a chance to go
1:46:45
into the Upper Peninsula of MIT of Florida. No, no, he's talking
1:46:53
about Illinois. Where no he's talking about Upper Peninsula
1:46:57
Michigan. Oh, is that where he is? Okay, and it's dynamite it's
1:47:04
just a dynamite place is really weird. It's kind of like old
1:47:07
fashioned especially if it's like especially if you're
1:47:10
hammered on jam or Don gin Yeah, it would be probably useful as
1:47:13
Linda Lou packings up she's in Lakewood Colorado 200 bucks for
1:47:16
normal donation which and she's always does this she asked for
1:47:20
jobs karma and free and then says for faster, more effective
1:47:24
job search visit image makers inc.com That's image Biggers
1:47:28
Inc, with a que your go to for executive resumes a job by the
1:47:33
way, go check that website as really pretty, very slick. And
1:47:38
work with Linda Lou, Duchess of jobs and writer resume so you
1:47:41
can find her on the list. Somebody wrote me a note. Hey,
1:47:43
what was that website name? And I said really? Yeah. And I said,
1:47:48
Wow, so much repetition. Wow,
1:47:51
Adam Curry: there you go. advertising works everybody
1:47:53
jobs, jobs, jobs
1:47:56
Unknown: and jobs.
1:48:01
Adam Curry: Now this is a little weird. Unless you came in again,
1:48:04
because I remember Tiara car from Baltimore from the last
1:48:09
show with $200 with a birthday wish to her fiance Alex Schlegel
1:48:16
so either because he's on the 30th which would make sense
1:48:21
since that's in between shows but it was on the last list so
1:48:24
I'm not sure if she donated again
1:48:29
John C Dvorak: you know, if somebody donates near the
1:48:31
midnight hour it can you have all kinds of problems she
1:48:35
sometimes you get double credit.
1:48:37
Adam Curry: Credited. I'm gonna I'm going to get the benefit of
1:48:41
the doubt. Hi, hello. Hello. I'd like to wish my amazing fiance
1:48:45
Alex Schlegel a very happy 44th birthday on July 30 and donate
1:48:49
$200 And no agenda on his behalf. He has been an avid
1:48:52
listener for a long time I hope he can now be deduced we're
1:48:55
going to DD Duchenne for deed Do you so much as Tiara car and
1:49:03
that concludes our
1:49:04
John C Dvorak: and by the way that should be a switcheroo.
1:49:08
Adam Curry: Yes, I'm pretty sure he's okay. It's fine. We
1:49:13
John C Dvorak: gonna say
1:49:13
Adam Curry: is we Yes. Well, we err on the side of the produced
1:49:17
caution. Yeah, we caution Yes, we caution indeed. Well, thank
1:49:21
you very much these executive and Associate Executive
1:49:23
producers of episode 61,681. What an amazing ride. It has
1:49:28
been. It's mind blowing, I tell you, it's mind blowing. Thank
1:49:34
you very much for supporting us. Thank you to all of the
1:49:36
producers. If no one is a listener or a fan. We're not
1:49:40
fans you're not tippers. No you return value for value want to
1:49:44
learn more go to value for value dot info, value number four
1:49:48
value dot info. We'll be thanking more people $50 And
1:49:51
above because we never read anything under 50 For reasons of
1:49:54
anonymity, and remember it is sustaining donations that really
1:49:58
matter. So although We always appreciate these execs and
1:50:01
associate execs if everybody did a sustaining donation it would
1:50:05
be fantastic thank you again for supporting the no agenda podcast
1:50:10
our
1:50:11
Unknown: formula is this we go out we get people in the mouth
1:50:28
Adam Curry: and I got a little bit of technology news
1:50:31
technology news tech news. I want to share with you because
1:50:36
you know it's hard to get technology news these days tech
1:50:39
news no
1:50:39
John C Dvorak: nobody wants to cover it well who said boost it
1:50:42
they want to boost it boosted yeah hey, this is great.
1:50:49
Adam Curry: Well, you're the AI is my beat. I think it's it's a
1:50:54
farce I think it's falling apart. I think it's is going to
1:50:57
take down the entire economy. That's how the economy is gonna
1:51:00
crash. And I've always talked about a pivot. Well, breaking
1:51:05
news everybody.
1:51:06
Unknown: For today, a former steel mill site on Chicago's far
1:51:09
south side will have a new purpose as home to a
1:51:13
groundbreaking quantum computer. Business
1:51:15
leaders say the development could make have major impacts on
1:51:19
Chicagoland and the future industries as well. W Janice
1:51:22
Christine floors is joining us live and details. Christine.
1:51:25
Well, good evening, we are at steel workers park where by the
1:51:27
year 2027. This will be the new home of the quantum computer
1:51:32
campus. Now this was the former site of the US Steel Workers
1:51:36
South plant which closed more than 30 years ago.
1:51:42
Right here beneath our feet will be a catalyst for a potential
1:51:47
revolution in science and technology and the betterment of
1:51:50
life for all humankind.
1:51:53
The quantum computing campus will be located off 87th street
1:51:56
and shout out to Savile Lake Shore Drive in the city's
1:51:59
forests outside and will be built by California based tech
1:52:02
company site Quantum. It's the site of the former US Steel self
1:52:06
works plant.
1:52:08
With this multibillion dollar investment from courtside
1:52:10
quantum quantum computing will be the premier industry of
1:52:14
Chicago's future.
1:52:16
During a press conference Thursday afternoon, officials
1:52:19
estimated the facility to be about 300,000 square feet and
1:52:23
employ up to 150 people within five years. But an even longer
1:52:27
term plan is for it to provide answers to a number of career
1:52:30
fields.
1:52:31
The potential applications are vast and transformative from
1:52:35
developing new life saving drugs, a next generation
1:52:39
electric batteries and solar cells, this quantum computer
1:52:42
will change the world lives works and heals. We're
1:52:45
Adam Curry: going to change the way you heal everybody. This
1:52:47
John C Dvorak: is entirely AI. Now let me let me get this
1:52:50
straight. So you're gonna put in this quantum computer and nobody
1:52:53
knows that these things even work at all. Oh, no, they don't
1:52:57
even know you're gonna, they don't even know you're gonna go
1:52:58
in there. And out of the blue out of the blue. It's going to
1:53:01
create new drugs.
1:53:03
Adam Curry: And it's new ways of healing. The investors so they
1:53:08
have not developed the quantum computer yet. But their
1:53:12
investors are black rock. The Founders Fund, though they're
1:53:16
finally getting the dumb money and that's Microsoft's venture
1:53:18
fund red point. Third point atomica government partnerships
1:53:23
with the US Department of Energy, Queensland Government
1:53:26
soaked the taxpayer while you're at it as right, that's right, we
1:53:30
need to get in on this side quantum has one mission to build
1:53:34
and deploy the first useful quantum computers was founded in
1:53:39
2015. How are we doing boys 10 years later. But they're
1:53:46
building 1000s of wafers of quantum chips. Okay, perfect.
1:53:51
But that wasn't the only completely hilarious bogus tech
1:53:55
news. This one I love this because it's shaken up
1:53:59
everything in Silicon Valley. Whoa, boy boy, breaking news.
1:54:03
Got some
1:54:03
Unknown: breaking news right now on open AI speaking of AI and
1:54:07
chat GPT and Steve Kovac has the details. Steve's pay their damn
1:54:10
Yeah, open AI is getting into the search business. They just
1:54:13
announced here in a blog post minutes ago that they were
1:54:17
testing a prototype version of a search product. You can see
1:54:20
Google shares just reacting here done better than 2%. Now, as
1:54:24
soon as this announcement crossed, this looks like it's an
1:54:27
early version. They're having users sign up for a waitlist. If
1:54:30
you've ever used the start of the app from the startup
1:54:33
perplexity Dom, you're probably very familiar with how these AI
1:54:36
search engines work. You ask a question, it gives you the
1:54:40
direct answer you can ask follow up questions. You're seeing some
1:54:42
examples here from the open AI product here. And then it also
1:54:48
real time results from the web and gives you the sources from
1:54:52
those results as well. Opening I hear says they are working with
1:54:57
publishers and other websites to make sure they have proper
1:55:00
access to all of this information and properly
1:55:03
credited and so forth. It does sound like early days, but just
1:55:06
the fact that opening I hear is getting involved in the search
1:55:09
business. If you can see what it's doing here to Google, by
1:55:12
the way, opening eyes biggest investor of Microsoft, they own
1:55:16
49% of open AI, they just announced a similar feature that
1:55:20
I'm talking about right now for their Bing search engine
1:55:23
yesterday. So this is a very hot item for search. By the way, the
1:55:27
alphabet earnings just a couple of days ago, they were talking
1:55:30
about their AI search project product and how that's driving
1:55:34
engagement. But still very few details whether or not that's
1:55:37
going to be a big moneymaker for Google but we clearly see what
1:55:41
the market thinks with opening getting into the search getting
1:55:43
done. I love
1:55:44
John C Dvorak: this. This is an example of the kind of reporting
1:55:47
I'm talking about. It's just boosterism Yeah, but I love guy
1:55:50
does know, you know, if you ask this thing, 10 questions,
1:55:53
there'll be nine of them completely wrong.
1:55:56
Adam Curry: Here's what we're doing wrong. We have a great
1:55:58
search engine Bing it.io Now we I think let me just check it.
1:56:03
Let me just check being it dot add sir D nonnamous. Put this
1:56:06
together. It's a real product by the bing.io. And yes, and it's
1:56:12
actually his product. He's He's Montes monetizing this product.
1:56:14
Now. It's called clip Genie. And it's powered by AI. But the
1:56:21
beauty of the no agenda show with its 17 years of history,
1:56:25
and we have 17 years of transcripts, clips, and news
1:56:30
articles in there. And did I mention it's powered by AI?
1:56:37
John C Dvorak: We should get some sort of venture money.
1:56:39
Yeah,
1:56:39
Adam Curry: breakfast, get some venture money. Just give me a
1:56:41
topic, any topic. And I'll show you that our AI search is better
1:56:46
than any of these guys. Just give me a topic. Any topic.
1:56:49
Unknown: Any topic,
1:56:49
Adam Curry: any topic, any topic.
1:56:51
John C Dvorak: Candy manufacturing,
1:56:53
Adam Curry: Candy menu fracturing, okay, we type it in
1:56:57
to Well, the first hit we have is 1497 Bug peeps. And 3d 3d
1:57:07
printed candy bars it we were talking about that. So that's
1:57:12
the thing. I think it's a good hit good results. 1434 we have
1:57:18
technology the size of a candy bar. I'm telling you, this is a
1:57:21
great search engine. But what did you want to know
1:57:24
specifically?
1:57:27
John C Dvorak: I just You just asked for a topic. I didn't have
1:57:29
any, any desire. FDA
1:57:33
Adam Curry: approves candy flavored amphetamine for kids.
1:57:38
I'm telling you, we have the best
1:57:39
John C Dvorak: so that's always a good we should revisit that
1:57:42
topic.io
1:57:43
Adam Curry: Everybody is fantastic. Seriously, it's
1:57:46
better than this nonsense. And unlike those guys, it's free.
1:57:49
Because they failed to mention there's no business model in it
1:57:52
for them. And final piece of tech news tech news because tech
1:57:57
news just big tech AI in the socials. The Justice Department
1:58:02
is in its fight now. It's a lawsuit with tick tock. And so
1:58:07
they're they're releasing just some basic bullcrap information.
1:58:11
Unknown: The Justice Department accuses tick tock of secretly
1:58:14
collecting sensitive bulk data on American users. For China.
1:58:19
The data includes views of divisive topics like gun
1:58:23
control, abortion, and religion. The Justice Department says this
1:58:27
would allow China in theory to manipulate tic TOCs feed to
1:58:31
create division and undermine American democracy. This was the
1:58:35
DOJ his first response to the lawsuit filed by parent company
1:58:39
bytedance, who is suing the US government over a bill banning
1:58:43
Tiktok. If the Chinese firm does not sell the American portion of
1:58:47
its operation.
1:58:48
Adam Curry: So notice that they say in theory they could be
1:58:51
selling, they could be giving this to China, and that's saying
1:58:53
they gave it to China. Whereas not even theoretical Google and
1:59:00
Microsoft and Microsoft in particular, are actually selling
1:59:03
your information to the highest bidder on the open markets,
1:59:07
including
1:59:08
John C Dvorak: China, including China. Microsoft has a lot of
1:59:13
its operations in China.
1:59:15
Adam Curry: Yes, horrible. All right. I think I feel obliged we
1:59:20
need to discuss the Olympics briefly as we had the UI for
1:59:23
John C Dvorak: you that you want to stay on China. China. Yeah, I
1:59:28
have some China clips I want to get out of the way all right.
1:59:31
Because this is important. This is this has not been covered by
1:59:33
anybody.
1:59:34
Adam Curry: Yes, this you sent me this video and I looked at it
1:59:38
and I was like, I was like wow, who knew? It's in the show
1:59:43
notes. It is in the show notes. It's worth 13 minutes of Wow. Is
1:59:48
John C Dvorak: yes it's 30 minutes Wow. And it this is the
1:59:52
part I thought was the most interesting that begins with a
1:59:55
bunch of fires that are going on in China China's on the verge of
1:59:57
a civil war according to at least this this comment Data um,
2:00:00
where was this from this video I forget, because it's Chinese one
2:00:03
of these Chinese operation. I mean, it's not from China. It's
2:00:06
called China today of China Watch or something and they,
2:00:09
they're so negative. They're not pro China by any means you can
2:00:12
tell. But they, they're something that has shown up on
2:00:17
NHK and elsewhere is these unbelievable debts that the
2:00:21
small Chinese provinces are, have developed in the trillions
2:00:26
and trillions and is believed that the Chinese government as a
2:00:28
whole is in the hole for as much as we are with our ridiculous
2:00:32
data.
2:00:33
Adam Curry: You know, why? Because
2:00:34
John C Dvorak: they don't have any bitcoin. Yeah, that's the
2:00:36
reason. So here we go. China's Civil War one
2:00:40
Unknown: back in the days under the collective economy in rural
2:00:43
China, it is estimated that over 30 to 40 million farmers starve
2:00:47
to death. Xi Jinping has not acknowledged this period and
2:00:50
public statements. Critics argue that his policies reflect a
2:00:54
continuation of practices from the mouth donor area, which they
2:00:58
claim led to significant loss of life. In preparation for this so
2:01:03
called internal war, Xi Jinping has been laying the groundwork
2:01:07
for some time, and a recent military political work
2:01:10
conference in yen and besides the official statements
2:01:13
published by state media attendees reported that he also
2:01:16
gave an impromptu speech. This speech has circulated through
2:01:21
various channels corroborated by multiple independent sources and
2:01:24
it seems to be appreciated revelation, its content aligns
2:01:28
closely wishes actual political maneuvers. In the speech, He
2:01:32
admonished the entire CCP. We are in yen and today for a
2:01:37
military meeting, preparing for internal war, you must realize
2:01:41
that we are facing severe economic and political crisis
2:01:45
and internal wall, the wall has already begun. If we do not
2:01:49
respond with war, our party and government will go bankrupt.
2:01:53
You've seen the establishment of police tax combat centers
2:01:56
nationwide. This is a wartime state comrades. We will not
2:02:01
overcome this crisis if we do not use combat to collect taxes.
2:02:05
Just like the Comintern blockade, Yan, and back then it
2:02:09
Adam Curry: really works better with the visuals because you see
2:02:11
the tanks rolling out and you see the the marching soldiers
2:02:15
and everything.
2:02:16
John C Dvorak: Yes, and you also see the hyper rich Chinese. The
2:02:21
idea here is that they think that they that they're gonna go
2:02:25
broke China, which a lot of people have suspected. And so so
2:02:30
she's decided to collect get the money back from the Chinese
2:02:35
billionaires,
2:02:36
Adam Curry: why don't they just print more money like like we
2:02:38
do? Well, they
2:02:39
John C Dvorak: do that, too, doesn't help. So they're going
2:02:43
to
2:02:43
Adam Curry: tax your church. This is our future that the US
2:02:46
government will just roll out the tanks to collect the money
2:02:49
from the billionaires.
2:02:50
John C Dvorak: I don't know if that's the case here. It's not
2:02:53
they're not making plans for it. But they are in China, according
2:02:56
to this report, God land there. They want to take the
2:03:00
billionaire class and they wanted to soak up and take all
2:03:02
their money at gunpoint, at gunpoint and redistribute the
2:03:07
wealth. I mean, this is of course, more likely in a
2:03:09
communist society, which is still is kind of and so there's
2:03:13
no there's too many billionaires in China. I think there's more
2:03:16
there than there are here. And so they're going to just soak
2:03:19
them in here we go with part two.
2:03:20
Unknown: Now the US and Western economies are blockading us. We
2:03:24
are fighting on two fronts just like before. Now the police and
2:03:28
tax authorities are cooperating to trace back 30 years and
2:03:33
reclaim the surplus value from the wealthy wasn't agree that
2:03:37
the rich would help the poor. Now we have to confiscate their
2:03:40
wealth through combat forcefully if we don't, how can we survive
2:03:45
this crisis? If the police tax cooperation fails to resolve the
2:03:49
economic dilemma we must implement a wartime economy if
2:03:53
necessary, the military must step in. If economic discontent
2:03:57
builds up to a critical mass with mass bankruptcies of
2:04:00
individuals, banks and enterprises. A storm will arise
2:04:04
that could threaten our state power, our country and our party
2:04:08
cannot go bankrupt. Although the authenticity of the leaked
2:04:12
internal speech attributed to Xi Jinping cannot be verified, it
2:04:15
appears to reflect elements of his governance strategy. This
2:04:19
speech suggests a focus on addressing internal challenges
2:04:22
through stringent measures indicates a strategy that
2:04:25
includes using forceful means to collect tax and reclaim citizens
2:04:29
property. Additionally, the concept of a wartime economy
2:04:32
aligns with the karmic, political and military measures
2:04:35
she has implemented in recent years. Observers suggest that if
2:04:40
an economic crisis escalates, it could lead to a significant
2:04:43
social unrest and potential violence. If I may
2:04:49
Adam Curry: drop some knowledge on you. China has 406
2:04:57
billionaires according to Forbes as of April 20 You 24 They are
2:05:01
number two on the list. Number one is the United States, in
2:05:06
fact, with 813 billionaires?
2:05:10
John C Dvorak: Well, they're not going to be 400 much longer,
2:05:13
Adam Curry: you know as number three
2:05:16
John C Dvorak: Saudi Arabia, India. Oh, yeah,
2:05:20
Adam Curry: that makes sense. Saudi Arabia are they even on
2:05:23
the chart, now they're
2:05:24
John C Dvorak: billing, you get one. So, so they, so the thing
2:05:28
that's going to happen because this happened, when, in 9798
2:05:32
era, when the Communists were gonna get Hong Kong back, there
2:05:38
was a flight, most of them went to Canada and free Canadians
2:05:44
offered full citizenship for I think, $250,000 If I'm not
2:05:48
mistaken, maybe more by the time it started. Really getting
2:05:53
going. And they just fled. And that's what's going to happen
2:05:56
with these, these 400 billionaires are going to take
2:05:58
their, as much money as they can get out of the country, which is
2:06:02
not easy to do, but they it's doable. And leave year,
2:06:07
Adam Curry: they're gonna come here, you're
2:06:08
John C Dvorak: gonna come here, put your money in our stuff. And
2:06:11
your next thing, you know, you're gonna have a bunch of
2:06:12
rich Chinese over here that will be spending, you know, the same
2:06:16
way they did over there is gonna be over here. Hey, Lee Lee want
2:06:20
to buy some bitcoin? It's gonna be it's gonna be a bonanza. For
2:06:24
us, Hey,
2:06:25
Adam Curry: we can take some investment for our AI powered
2:06:28
search engine.
2:06:29
John C Dvorak: Now you're talking let's go into last clip.
2:06:31
Unknown: This speech acknowledges that during Mao's
2:06:33
era, everything could be covered up, all crimes were hidden. The
2:06:37
CCPs propaganda is filled with so much misleading information.
2:06:41
And even the unprecedented tragedy of millions starving to
2:06:45
death was sold off completely, so much so that young people
2:06:48
today still can't believe it, attributing it to natural
2:06:51
disasters. However, a total censorship is no longer possible
2:06:55
in a crisis a truth cannot be hidden. Under the CCP role, the
2:06:59
Chinese populace has faced the victim restrictions on human
2:07:02
rights. Currently surging pains, administration faces substantial
2:07:05
challenges in maintaining credibility, both domestically
2:07:08
and internationally. There is notable disparity between state
2:07:12
propaganda and the actual conditions within the country.
2:07:15
As a result, many Chinese citizens are increasingly
2:07:18
skeptical of state media and are seeking alternative sources of
2:07:21
information. Yeah,
2:07:23
Adam Curry: and so there was shown a whole bunch of video of
2:07:25
explosions and all kinds of weird stuff happens
2:07:28
John C Dvorak: in great videos, but everyone's got a camera
2:07:30
phone, and you know, what are you gonna do? You can't stop
2:07:32
that people pass them around. They get on the net. You
2:07:35
Adam Curry: said that just like Obama phone?
2:07:39
John C Dvorak: That's a camera phone.
2:07:40
Adam Curry: Yes. Yeah.
2:07:43
John C Dvorak: So they guess this could be bogus, but it's at
2:07:47
least something we should be aware of? Well,
2:07:48
Adam Curry: they put a lot of effort into creating this video
2:07:50
if it's bogus, so I'm not quite sure if Well,
2:07:53
John C Dvorak: that and, and it is well known that there are a
2:07:56
huge, and there's a lot of research companies that have
2:07:59
been looking into it. They've done studies on just the amount
2:08:03
of light output in the various areas.
2:08:06
Adam Curry: Yeah. As Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's, you can tell how
2:08:09
things are going. You
2:08:11
John C Dvorak: can tell things are going bad how lit up it is,
2:08:14
and it's not looking good. So well, here's something to think
2:08:18
about. Well,
2:08:20
Adam Curry: we need to keep them big and scary, because you know,
2:08:23
we got to build huge ships.
2:08:25
John C Dvorak: Well, we can do that anyway. So the Yeah, you're
2:08:29
right, we would this information may or may actually be a
2:08:32
detriment to our schemes.
2:08:34
Adam Curry: Let's hope not. We need ships and subs. Big,
2:08:38
beautiful, sleek service, cheaper than any other subs they
2:08:41
go. To the Olympics started.
2:08:45
John C Dvorak: Oh my god.
2:08:47
Adam Curry: Let's listen to the NPR report of the four hour
2:08:53
opening show. Extraordinary,
2:08:55
Unknown: audacious impertinent, full of surprises. You know,
2:08:58
Paris became an open air theater last night with performances
2:09:01
along rooftops, the riverbanks the monuments. 12 amazing
2:09:05
tableaus unfolded with seams like liberty and darkness. Lady
2:09:09
Gaga on either last few day performing with pink plumes on a
2:09:12
piano, a French Revolution scene with a hard rock band and Marie
2:09:15
Antoinette decapitated heads speaking from a window in the
2:09:19
castle where she was actually held prisoner before her
2:09:21
guillotine, a hooded medieval character ran across the Paris
2:09:25
rooftops with the Olympic flame, a glowing White Horseman gallop
2:09:28
down the middle of the river dancers hung beautifully from
2:09:31
the scaffolding of Notre DOM of
2:09:35
any room for the you know, the athletes.
2:09:38
Of course, there were 85 boats carrying 6800 Waving athletes
2:09:43
from 205 nations they sailed by in the river procession in the
2:09:46
middle of it all. They looked excited with smiles on their
2:09:49
faces, something we haven't seen in the last two Olympics because
2:09:52
of COVID. Scott did I mentioned the stunning light show at the
2:09:55
Eiffel Tower? Yeah, it all landed with the flame coming
2:10:01
back down the river in a speedboat driven by tennis star
2:10:04
Serena Williams Rafael Nadal USA sprinter Carl Lewis and Romanian
2:10:08
gymnast Nadia Coleman each remember her to the twin gardens
2:10:12
where it was lifted up into the dark Paris sky over the Louvre
2:10:15
in a hot air balloon, while Celine Dion who hasn't sung and
2:10:18
for years, belted out a classic from French icon Edith Piaf. Oh,
2:10:22
my word.
2:10:23
Adam Curry: Oh, my word NPR really have their finger on the
2:10:27
pulse of the nation, as you can tell, because there was a little
2:10:30
controversy but before we get to that there's little there's more
2:10:33
of this NP there's more of this NPR report got to
2:10:37
Unknown: tell you that Marie Antoinette stuff shook me up a
2:10:38
bit. Such a spectacular Oh, yeah. Any problems? Well,
2:10:43
the rain it came down on us the whole time, but it didn't bother
2:10:46
everyone. We spoke to Daniela Rodriguez from New Jersey.
2:10:49
Listen to her. It
2:10:50
was rainy but it was worth it. Definitely.
2:10:52
I like to lean beyond everything on the river, the horse, of
2:10:56
course, just floating through the water. But carrying the
2:10:59
plane through the river trail, you
2:11:00
know, and this morning, Scott, I spoke to my neighbor 70 year old
2:11:03
piano peacock who said she was going to her TV for four hours
2:11:07
last night listen to her
2:11:08
since she needed to simply mom mushy
2:11:13
said it was sure magic, a huge moment for France. And she added
2:11:17
that she was also relieved that everything went well
2:11:19
Adam Curry: and PR no just going to their neighbors for
2:11:22
reporting. There were
2:11:23
Unknown: those attacks on the high speed train network in the
2:11:25
early hours of yesterday. How did that affect the ceremony?
2:11:29
Yeah,
2:11:29
that sabotage, coordinated sabotage, you know, briefly
2:11:32
crippled train service. This huge investigation is underway.
2:11:36
But you know, it didn't affect the ceremony, but it made people
2:11:39
a little jittery. Before the opening. The security has been
2:11:41
massive. They had to anticipate threats from the sky, the ground
2:11:44
the water, even under the water. They used sonar and anti drones.
2:11:48
There were 50,000 police officers and soldiers on the
2:11:51
streets of the capital. Scott they close the Paris airspace
2:11:54
for six hours. That's unprecedented.
2:11:56
Adam Curry: Oh my god, the security was amazing. Before we
2:11:59
get to another clip about the opening, here's a brief I
2:12:04
thought funny little. I call it a gap but I think it could be
2:12:08
used of the security the security. Oh my, please. Let's
2:12:13
go to the streets and tell us about the security.
2:12:16
Unknown: Hey, good morning, Robin. Yeah, you mentioned that
2:12:18
tight security. This is what that looks like. Check it out.
2:12:22
The Octo Trump is just behind me.
2:12:23
Adam Curry: Now. What did you hear her say?
2:12:25
Unknown: Bark to Trump? Yes, exactly.
2:12:28
Adam Curry: Like to Trump.
2:12:29
Unknown: I like Trump
2:12:32
Adam Curry: as great art to Trump. What a moron. So did you
2:12:36
see any of the opening games? John the the opening of the
2:12:38
games.
2:12:39
John C Dvorak: Did you see the opening ceremonies where you
2:12:41
said yes. The
2:12:42
Adam Curry: opening ceremony. Did
2:12:43
John C Dvorak: you see? Yes, it was dreadful. They had cancan
2:12:49
dancers that were uncoordinated falling, kicking with the wrong
2:12:53
leg not kicking a guy. It was they couldn't kick it all it was
2:12:59
it would that was one thing then they had a sacrilegious scene of
2:13:04
drag queens pretending to be at the Last Supper Christ Last
2:13:07
Supper. It was totally blast from us. Then they had a some
2:13:13
sort of a play that was taking place with a couple with a guy
2:13:17
dressed as a harlequin in a library and some girl flirting
2:13:21
with him. And then a guy flirting with him and he runs
2:13:24
off with the guy and some sort of gay tryst, the whole thing
2:13:27
was gross. I couldn't eat at some point. I just turned it off
2:13:30
because it was just ridiculous. It was terrible.
2:13:33
Adam Curry: Yeah. And that was the general consensus. I don't
2:13:37
know why were NPR gets their reporting from they didn't watch
2:13:40
it. I don't think they did either. I think they just read
2:13:43
the rundown of what was going to happen because without a doubt,
2:13:48
on social on the social medias, there was a lot of mean people
2:13:52
just like well, this is not good. Is what is happening here.
2:13:56
Now. I got this clip. It's a local clip. Because one of the I
2:14:01
think ceasefires one of the big ads or certainly a large
2:14:04
advertiser on the Olympic Games, and they're pulling out of there
2:14:09
who see spire so i don't know i Yeah. What do they do their
2:14:15
other tech company? I think colons C Spire. They are Yeah,
2:14:19
have a internet wireless business. It solutions. I think
2:14:23
they're pretty big.
2:14:25
Unknown: I never heard of them, but okay. They got built.
2:14:28
Adam Curry: They got huge, huge buildings, huge buildings. When
2:14:31
you see the logo, you're like, oh, yeah, I've seen that logo.
2:14:35
This was surprisingly unlike NPR not surprising. I like NPR. A
2:14:40
balanced report specifically about the Last Supper part.
2:14:44
Unknown: I love Lady Gaga and Celine Dion, but I thought it
2:14:47
was very disrespectful and sacrilegious. Mississippians
2:14:50
are responding to the Paris Olympics opening ceremony the
2:14:54
ceremony not only getting backlash from viewers, but also
2:14:57
local companies. See spire into social media announcing that
2:15:01
they are pulling advertising from the Olympics. That
2:15:05
technology company feeling like the sporting event made a
2:15:08
mockery of the Last Supper. Some believe a portion of the Olympic
2:15:11
open was emulating the final meal. Jesus shared with his
2:15:15
disciples before his crucifixion, saying what they
2:15:18
saw during the performance does not align with Christian values
2:15:22
at all. I
2:15:23
think it's just indicative of how people tend to criticize a
2:15:27
Christians religion rather than any other religion, it wouldn't
2:15:31
have wouldn't have flown if it had been against the Muslim
2:15:34
religion or another religion.
2:15:35
Others feel the opening ceremony is being misunderstood and has
2:15:38
nothing to do with Christianity.
2:15:41
There's confusion over the Greek representation that was meant by
2:15:44
that piece. So probably just checking in a little bit more
2:15:47
about the cultural piece that was being pulled into that. But
2:15:51
I don't think that it was pulling in the Italian Last
2:15:54
Supper, art at all. We reached
2:15:56
out to sea spider, the President and CEO Susie Hasting see spider
2:16:01
is supportive of our athletes who have worked so hard to be a
2:16:04
part of the Olympics. However, we will not be a part of the
2:16:08
offensive and unacceptable mockery of the Last Supper,
2:16:11
which is why we're pulling our advertising from the Olympics.
2:16:15
Gov. Tate Reeves also went to Twitter standing in full support
2:16:19
of ceasefires decision, saying I am proud to see the private
2:16:22
sector and Mississippi step up and put their foot down. God
2:16:26
will not be mocked, oh,
2:16:29
Adam Curry: he's quoting Galatians six, God will not be
2:16:31
mocked. And you know, the power went out supposedly are
2:16:34
apparently a lot of pictures in most of Paris. And people were
2:16:38
posting that on social media saying God will not be mocked.
2:16:41
Now, the organizers themselves those responsible for this
2:16:45
opening ceremony say it was a big misunderstanding. This was
2:16:49
not the Last Supper. It was a depiction of the ancient Greek
2:16:53
but I call a baka now, of course, the games are Greek
2:16:58
games. Bukka NALEO. Now the blue guy the blue dude, that would be
2:17:03
the god of wine. And these Bacchus Bacchus Yes, and the,
2:17:10
this is the Dion Dion is us, the Greek god IO nesis. That's what
2:17:15
I'm saying. The Greek god of fertility, later known as the
2:17:19
god of wine and pleasure. And so this was a depiction of the
2:17:23
hedonism of the day of the Olympic Games. Now, of course,
2:17:28
we all saw that, you know, we had the fat, the fat dude with a
2:17:33
golden crown in the middle. I mean, there was definitely a
2:17:36
little wink there towards the Last Supper. Also, it wasn't it
2:17:40
wasn't death on the pale horse that was Sequana Goddess of the
2:17:44
Sand the river anyway big Miss big miss by the Olympics and
2:17:51
what really stuck out forget the religious aspect. See, like,
2:17:57
what was what was with all the dudes and the gayness and the
2:18:00
trainees is that I mean, I France may be humorless and burn
2:18:08
their churches but I didn't think they were stupid. I mean,
2:18:12
this was
2:18:12
John C Dvorak: just It was unbelievable. It was probably
2:18:14
the worst opening ceremony for the last 20 years especially
2:18:19
when it compared to what China did. Oh, which was not only
2:18:23
elaborate but tasteful this was this was not tasteful. That's
2:18:27
exactly bring
2:18:28
Adam Curry: back the days of Lionel Richie flying in with the
2:18:31
white piano Come on people that this was it made no sense now. I
2:18:36
mean, but forever this will be known as the Olympics that
2:18:40
mocked the Last Supper they just blew it. They blew it big time.
2:18:44
And I say blew it intentionally there was and they had kids with
2:18:50
all the with the with the drag queens. It was it was weird.
2:18:56
Like why why? Why? And I don't want to watch the Olympics now
2:19:01
it's put a bad taste in my mouth again. Pun intended.
2:19:07
John C Dvorak: Full upon I am so
2:19:09
Adam Curry: a little more color about a little more color about
2:19:12
the organization. There was another gaffe of course, I mean,
2:19:15
if the French screw up once they're gonna go all the way
2:19:18
John C Dvorak: United five Olympic organizers say they are
2:19:21
deeply sorry for a major mistake during yesterday's opening
2:19:24
ceremonies. The public address announcer identified South
2:19:27
Korean athletes as representing the Democratic People's Republic
2:19:31
of Korea. That's the official name for North Korea. South
2:19:35
Korea goes by the Republic of Korea. Olympic leadership says
2:19:39
that mix up was a regrettable mistake. South Korean officials
2:19:42
have requested a meeting with the International Olympic
2:19:45
Committee. Today is the 71st anniversary of the Korean
2:19:49
armistice. I
2:19:50
Adam Curry: think the pope should call for a meeting. I
2:19:52
want a meeting. I'm the Pope. I want a meeting what are you
2:19:56
people thinking? So this there sorry about Oh, really? Really
2:20:00
sorry about that. Sorry about that Korea didn't
2:20:02
John C Dvorak: mean to do it. Yeah, that's what they're sorry
2:20:04
about. They should be sorry about the whole thing. And
2:20:06
Adam Curry: then NBC in their infinite wisdom somehow, not
2:20:10
only I mean, I don't know who did the deal was Snoop Dogg to
2:20:15
carry the Olympic flame. But he also is an official commentator
