John C Dvorak: Yeah.
Unknown: Adam curry.
John C Dvorak, it's
Adam Curry: Thursday, August 8,
2024 this to award winning game
our nation. Media assassination,
Episode 1684,
Unknown: this is no agenda,
Adam Curry: joyful and cuddly
and broadcasting live from the
heart of the Texas home country,
here in FEMA Region, number six
in the morning. Everybody. I'm
Adam curry,
John C Dvorak: and for Northern
Silicon Valley, where we all
congratulate camp on Kim for
getting the VP pick. I'm John C
Dvorak buzzkill in the
Unknown: morning.
Adam Curry: And here, I thought
we can probably get through the
entire episode without that
nickname. But I am so wrong. I
am so wrong. Yes, I somehow, I
don't think Trump will use that
one. I don't think he'll use it.
Would be great if he did. It'd
be very funny, but I don't even
John C Dvorak: use cackling
camera, which is, I think you
pointed
Adam Curry: out, is odd. It's
very odd. Yeah, it's so obvious.
Well, I guess to satisfy
everybody, we should start off
with the outrage of the day.
It's all that people can do on
Twitter is talk about the
socialists. He's no good. He's
no good. Tim waltz, who reminds
me very much of that other team
guy who was that, who was, uh,
John C Dvorak: who was Kane, Tim
Kaine.
Adam Curry: Isn't that basically
the same guy?
John C Dvorak: It looks like the
same guy, only this other guy's
got a fatter jaw. Hey,
Adam Curry: it's that's called
cuddly. Did you get the same
super clip? I did.
John C Dvorak: I have a, I have
a, I have a super clip, which is
the walls medley,
Unknown: maybe similar.
John C Dvorak: Well, how long is
yours? Well, that's
Adam Curry: a good question.
Mine is 135
John C Dvorak: 130 you have 130
you have 135
Adam Curry: have 135 Yes.
John C Dvorak: Oh, let's play
it. Oh, here we go. This. Kamala
Unknown: Harris picks Minnesota
Governor. Tim Walz says, running
mate. What
does walls bring to this? He's
cuddly, cuddly,
cuddly, cuddly, for maybe
a little more of a cuddly
choice.
Tell us more about like the
texture of the man. He seems to
almost have a twinkle in his
eye. Tim Walz is the opposite of
weird Wall Street's America. He
sounds like, you know, a
football coach. He's
a hunter that you could visit
with at the hardware store and a
dictionary get weird and anti
weird. You'd have Tim Walsh
picture there. I bet knows how
to make a good hot dish.
Casserole, very
down to earth. This is
authenticity. Authentic
communicator.
The word joy came up a lot. He's
joyful. She
seems happy. Happy. Go lucky
warrior. And he's happy. And a
happy warrior,
joyful warrior. He
is one happy warrior, a
happy warrior with a happy
warrior. Nice
guy,
good guy,
a very nice person,
reliable, definitely affable.
He is an extremely affable
individual, very affable. Plain
speaking. Way of folksy vibe.
This
folks the idea
vibes election, kind
of a folksy guy, the
idea that Tim Walz is in lefty
is just not true. I
don't think either of them are
Bernie Sanders progressive. A
rather safe pick. I think a safe
pick, the safe choice. This
is a do no harm. Do no harm.
He's just more of a vanilla
pick, a younger version of Joe
Biden. We
got Brad summer. We've
got coconut tree memes.
There's joy in the Democratic
Party right
now, those outside of Pittsburgh
loves
Tim walls.
So talk about walls.
Adam Curry: He is cuddly and
joyful. My
John C Dvorak: clip is so dear.
It's got different it's got the
cuddly stuff, but it's got a
better punch line.
Adam Curry: Oh, okay,
John C Dvorak: it's shorter we
can play. This is just to show
you how much crap the mainstream
media puts out in support of the
Democrat Party. Is it's it's an
embarrassment.
Unknown: All American definition
of a man from middle middle
America, high school teacher,
football coach. He has
this folksy, personal, informal
vibe that is really appealed to
a lot of Democrats. He's
a kind of a Fauci guy, very
friendly,
nice guy, totally approachable.
You
get the feeling that he's got
plenty of neighbors that were
Maga house, and he picks up
their paper, brings it to their
friend or their his friends.
Walt has an ability to be I know
one person said cuddly Tim Walsh
is
the opposite of weird, maybe
a little more of a cuddly
choice. Cuddly, cuddly.
This is going to be mac and
cheese and a trip to the
hardware grounded vice
presidential candidate is going
to make people smile. He
seems to almost have a twinkle
in his eye.
He ice fishes. He's a hunter.
He does butter carving.
Adam Curry: Wow, if, if this guy
becomes Vice President, we get
the mac and cheese life, and
John C Dvorak: he does butter
carving,
Unknown: mac and cheese life,
mac and cheese
John C Dvorak: that is so
pathetic. Well,
Adam Curry: I love it when they
when they all pick up, well,
when they. Read the Talking
Points Memo, I presume. And then
here's what you could say about
Tim. He's cuddly, he's joyful.
He's, you know, etc, etc. I just
hope that these super cuts that
people realize that's what's
going on. We've been doing them,
what for almost the entire
length of the show.
Unknown: I just hope that people
see
Adam Curry: it, that your media
is nothing. Now, by the same
token, your social media is also
nothing. Have you noticed that
ever since Elon purchased X,
while you can say anything that
you want, it's meaningless. The
Journals all left, or at least
they don't. They don't promote
anything anymore. Nothing goes
viral that gets out into you
know, no one's playing stuff
from Twitter. There's no longer
people saying, oh, oh, this is
trending on Twitter. It's bad
news for him. No, none of that.
It's now just a place to go and
go. But that's all that it is.
It's meaningless. I see you
posting. Think about it. Elon
Musk makes it free for
everybody. It's good. You can
say whatever you want. How long
would it last?
Unknown: I see you posting?
John C Dvorak: I i repost?
Mostly,
Adam Curry: yes, soon to be
illegal. So let's meet Kim wall,
soon to
John C Dvorak: be just doing it.
As long as it goes on, I think
it's gonna, it's gonna end. It's
gonna end. Let it turn into just
a financial resource. Let's,
we'll be using it to collect
donations. Let's,
Adam Curry: let's meet now.
Here's, here's the the problem
that he's run into, and I think
this is a universal issue,
doesn't play very well in
America at all. I'm thinking
Swift Boat with John Kerry. And
this is Stolen Valor, which many
are quick to point out to me, is
punishable by jail.
John C Dvorak: It's a felony
according to the the Stolen
Valor Act of 2013
Adam Curry: so what we what we
are learning about Tim is that
he kind of waffles a bit and
says, you know, I carried a gun
in combat while he was in the
Army Reserves for 24 years when
His unit was to be deployed for
I think it was, was it Iraqi
Freedom. Or was it the Iraqi?
Yeah, he then said, Well, you
know, I'm gonna run for governor
or whatever Senate. I think he
was stationed in Italy for a
while. But when you say things
like, I don't care about the
NRA, I don't want guns like the
one I carried in combat, oops,
and this, and they've been
calling, I mean, I've seen none
of it is playable as a clip, but
I've seen people. I have, I have
a pretty decent rundown of this.
Oh, okay, good.
John C Dvorak: I'm glad. And I
hate to do it, because now you,
you I did it, then you did it,
now I'm doing it, which is a
Jesse waters analysis he's got,
yeah. First of all, I want to
make Jesse waters. He has the
prime time on Fox. So thus he
has the best writers.
Unknown: He does. Yes, he does.
He's got
John C Dvorak: so so it's not a
complete abomination to play his
analysis.
Adam Curry: Cut him out. Did you
cut him out or you left him in?
Because
John C Dvorak: I was No, I left
him in because the whole thing
is, it's a package that's very
well done. Okay? I usually just
just use it, cut him out, to be
honest about it. All right. Now,
exactly what I called this clip
another issue, I
Adam Curry: would say, Jesse W
on Walt's Stolen Valor. That
seems to be the right one.
John C Dvorak: Sounds like it
would be
Unknown: inflated this guy's
resume like he inflated his own
waltz. Never went to war, he
never saw combat. He was never
in a war zone, but for years,
he's been claiming otherwise.
I spent 25 years in the Army,
and I hunt. We can do background
checks, we can do CDC research.
We can make sure we don't have
reciprocal carry among states,
and we can make sure that those
weapons of war that I carried in
war is the only place where
those weapons
were. Waltz, never carried
weapons in war. He's lying, and
he's been giving reporters the
impression that he's been a
combat vet for years. Bloomberg
putting out a piece saying Walt
served quote in Iraq as part of
Operation, Enduring Freedom.
Waltz never went to Iraq, and
Bloomberg had to retract it.
Waltz put out a campaign press
release claiming he was a
veteran of Operation Enduring
Freedom, claiming he served on
the Afghanistan. He never served
in Afghanistan. Waltz told the
Atlantic He just returned from
fighting in the war on
terrorism. Waltz never fought
anywhere. He abandoned his unit,
left his battalion hanging right
before he was supposed to deploy
to Iraq. I
was like, well, for Pete's sake,
this guy quit. If I say I'm not
going to do it. I mean, what the
hell kind of leadership is that
he was a congressman. He, you
know, he bragged that he was, he
was a command sergeant, retired
Command Sergeant Major. I'm the
highest ranking person ever. In
the in the house, and, you know,
all this lie that he was
telling. And there was lots of
public, you know, lots of cards
coming in the mail, you know,
for him to be elected, they
said, right, honor, he's a
retired Command Sergeant Major
just tooting his own horn, just
hanging on the coattails of
people that actually are command
sergeant majors that went
through all the process and put
all the time in Stolen Valor is
really what it is.
Adam Curry: So when you get this
from Fox, it was kind of to be
expected, but when it boils over
and flows to CNN, you know, you
have an actual problem. And
here's the fact checking going
on at CNN waltz
Unknown: did make a comment
speaking to a group. He's done
it a couple of times where he
has used language that has
suggested that he carried
weapons in a fighting situation.
As you know, with your contact
with the military. I know from
coming from a military family,
there is a difference between
being in a combat area, being
involved at a time of war, and
actually being in a position
where people are shooting at
you. There is no evidence that
at any time, Governor Walz was
in a position of being shot at,
and some of his language could
easily be seen to suggest that
he was so that is absolutely
false. When he said that about
about gun rights out there.
Adam Curry: So to trolls cotton
gin, I see you who say, Who
cares? This is it's the media
always picks our winners and
losers. This this actually
matters. We are, huh, media
deconstructionists, so you're
listening to the wrong podcast
if you don't care. This is
exactly Get
John C Dvorak: off. Get off. Get
off. That drawer room, get out.
Adam Curry: This is exactly what
you don't want. In the age of
media picks your leaders or your
representatives, and it's so
pathetic when you see Tina
Smith, who is the representative
from Minnesota trying to do
this. Well, here
Unknown: is Tim Walz, who
enlisted when he was 17 years
old. He served in the National
Guard for 24 years, and I'm not
aware of any military service
that JD Vance has ever served.
So let's just make the
comparison there and what
happened in the tragedy of the
killing of George Floyd and then
the unrest. Okay, pardon me for
that.
Adam Curry: Jim Acosta is
correcting you. You've really
messed up as a Democrat. So
John C Dvorak: that's for sure.
It
Adam Curry: is really
unbelievable and not credible
that this guy was not fact
checked on this point. That
makes no sense, or they were in
such a hurry to get just anybody
in anybody but someone who would
win, because that's what it
looks like.
John C Dvorak: Well, I will
mention that this was supposedly
put this guy was picked and
chosen and put in by Eric
Holder, who is the head of the
of the choosing committee, one
man choosing committee, and he,
of course, is connected to
Obama. And as I mentioned the
newsletter, there is some
thought that Obama is still
irked about this whole thing,
that that Kamala should not be
the person in this position at
all, and he's sabotaging the
campaign.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I'll buy that.
I really will. I mean, it just
it's so odd that this would not
be checked because there's video
of veterans going to his office
in like, 10 years ago, saying,
hey, you know, this is not cool,
what you're doing here when, I
don't know if that was as
senator or as governor. No, he
Unknown: was a congressman. Oh,
Congressman, I'm
Adam Curry: sorry. So either
way, it's like, and you know,
some of the the media is just,
well, this, this is our guy.
Let's pick up on anything we
can. He's joyful. The whole, the
whole campaign is
John C Dvorak: true. Joyful is
my favorite. And
Adam Curry: I've heard that
pluf, pluf is now, is on the
Yes, the campaign. So Plouffe is
a, he's a, he's the guy that
makes all these that makes all
of these campaign stops look
like the real deal, and he knows
what he's doing. He was Obama's
guy, so they're doing a good job
with that, but him in but even
if you look at the at the
YouTube numbers on the which is
Joe Biden's YouTube account of
the stream of of the
announcement. There's only, like
50,000 views. So, you know,
something smells bad. But let's
get to meet the candidate, the
VP candidate. I haven't asked
John. We don't have an ask John
jingle, unfortunately, we should
ask John. All right. Ask John.
All right, John, here we go.
This is an ask John question.
Let me just make sure we have
the right one loaded up here.
But in
Unknown: Minnesota, just like in
Wisconsin, we respect our
neighbors and the personal
choices they make, even if, even
if we wouldn't make. The same
choices for ourselves, because
we know there's a golden rule.
Now,
Adam Curry: whenever I see Tim
waltz walking around, he's
always putting his hair hands
together in prayer, emoji
fashion like, Oh, thank you.
Thank you. Yeah, thank you
Master. Yes. So what do you
think his gold we've heard of
the golden rule. What is Tim
Waltz's golden rule.
John C Dvorak: Think on your
neighbors
Adam Curry: during covid, you
might think you might be had
John C Dvorak: a call in line so
you could, if you saw your
neighbor walking the dog, you
can call it in and have him
arrested. Well, that's, that's
the good neighbor policy of Tim
Walt. Well,
Adam Curry: you'd think when he
says golden rule, you'd think he
would say, do unto others as you
would have them do unto you.
That's even Rob Reiner knows
that's the golden rule, but here
is the golden rule of your
potential future vice president.
But
Unknown: in Minnesota, just like
in Wisconsin, we respect our
neighbors and the personal
choices they make. I even if,
even if, we wouldn't make the
same choices for ourselves,
because we know there's a golden
rule, mind your own damn
business.
John C Dvorak: There's your new
golden rule, yeah, mind your own
damn business, and if you see
anybody walking their dog, call
our hotline.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I got, I got
several notes from, from people
in Minnesota, Minnesota, by the
way, which is sue for Sky
colored waters. Supposed to be a
beautiful, beautiful state.
John C Dvorak: I've been to
10,000 lakes. I've been there
numerous times. Yes.
Adam Curry: First of all, says
our producer, Thomas, Don't
believe the hype. He's America's
dad or Minnesota Nice. He's the
type that will have his
administration send a lawsuit to
a single mother of four wrapped
in a bow right before Christmas
for simply refusing to go along
with his covid lockdown. He's
the type of good neighbor that
sets up a snitch line for people
to report those that are not
following his mandates. He is
the type of person that promotes
having drag shows in our state
capitol building. Oh, that's
entertaining. He made Minnesota
a trans sanctuary for those to
be brought into the state and
have the gender reassignment
surgeries without the parents
consent. He forces all schools
to have tampons in the boys
restroom. So clearly Thomas from
the from the Free State of
Minnesota, is not very happy
with no Tim Walsh, now what the
thing that I find very odd is
that the the mainstream M, 5m
they are crediting him with
coming up with the weird term,
yes.
John C Dvorak: This is a, this
is a very common this is
everybody says that yes, yes.
And, in fact, I think even if
you go to his wiki page, you'll
see that
Adam Curry: well, because
Wikipedia is, of course, the
book of knowledge.
John C Dvorak: Well, true
propaganda, just beside the
point. Let's
Adam Curry: see what NBC does
here. This morning, the
Unknown: new Democratic ticket
is off and running vice
president Kamala Harris and her
new running mate, Minnesota
Governor Tim Walz setting out on
a swing state tour. Why walls?
Sources tell NBC News The two
had strong chemistry when they
met last Sunday. Harris, sources
say, was swayed in part by walls
is biography,
Adam Curry: swayed by his
biography,
Unknown: walls also repeating
that now popular attack line
that first got him attention
among many Democrats, these guys
are creepy and, yes, just weird
as hell. But according to a new
poll, 71% of Americans say they
don't know or have an opinion on
walls. So now the race is on
from both sides to define him.
Adam Curry: That's also
something that is not very well
or discussed at all on the
mainstream is name recognition.
This is always a thing that they
that they add in like, Oh, you
have to name recognition. Name
wreck. No one. No one was
talking about Tim waltz, except
Kara Swisher, who said he would
be a horrible pick. But I'm sure
by the time pivot comes out on
Friday, he'll be a great pick.
There's no doubt, because she is
the most wishy washy of them
all. Here's here's. NPR, yeah,
Unknown: he's the one that
coined the phrase weird, or the
viral meme weird, in describing
Donald Trump and JD Vance. So
tell us about Tim Walz. Who is
he? Well, he's
Minnesota Governor. He was born
and raised in rural Nebraska.
He's in his second term as
Minnesota Governor. He's the
head of the head of the
Democratic Governors
Association. So there's some
thought that he has some ability
to raise some money, bring some
cash to the ticket as well. He's
a veteran of the Army National
Guard, and, you know, we know he
didn't really know Harris very
well before these past couple of
weeks, but impressed her. And he
does have these connections on
Capitol Hill, so he's also kind
of a governing pick as well.
And, you know, really, as noted
him coining this phrase, weird.
A lot of this is about
messaging. He's very good at it.
And he's really somebody who,
two weeks ago, was not on the
tips of people's lips for who
could get this job, but clearly,
you know, talked his way
into it. With that and with his
personality, talked
Adam Curry: his way into it,
with his personality. Ah, this
is dynamite. Well, of course,
even we were convinced that it
would not be waltz. I mean, I
still held on for a hopeful Wes
Moore, just to give Moe the
benefit. But that didn't happen,
and Shapiro was what everyone
thought would be the pick. And
that didn't happen. Here's CNN.
I just think it
Unknown: was weird. It turned
out not to be as a false a note
as I thought it might be, to do
this roll out in Shapiro's home
state, if you're not going to
pick Shapiro, they could have
done this roll out in Michigan.
They could have done this roll
out in Wisconsin, someplace
where there wasn't one of the
finalists wasn't from, so it
wouldn't seem like a, you know,
in your face kind of move. But
also, even if it's a second
order or third order, you know,
issue, the fact that a lot of
people sometimes boosted by the
Trump campaign, we're now
learning, but a lot of people in
the Democratic Party and on the
very online guys, Diane, jeez,
singled out Shapiro because he's
Jewish, and they did single him
out because he's Jewish. He
doesn't have any positions on
Israel that are different from
any other people he's competing
with or from Kamala Harris. But
the whole genocide Josh thing,
the fact that Walt seemed seems
like the safer pick than
Shapiro, tells you something
about the problems running
through the Democratic Party.
Democratic Party.
Adam Curry: I mean, this, this
has to be sabotaged. There's
just this guy has so much nasty
garbage hanging off of him.
John C Dvorak: It's good. I
think there's, there's an
element of that. But I do have
some comment about the Shapiro
non pick, because it was lined
up. That's what they were going
to do in Pennsylvania? Yes, and
I was totally convinced it was
going to be Shapiro. But What?
What? It turns out, this has not
been discussed except very
obscurely, and you'll never find
it. Shapiro was for school
vouchers, and the teachers union
basically put their foot down.
So you're not picking this guy.
Oh,
Adam Curry: I believe that.
Yeah, of course, that's not
discussed. Why? Why bring any
information to the people that
would be wrong? Yeah, and
they're pretty powerful. That
lady who screams and yells,
what's her
John C Dvorak: name? Oh, from
two both the groups have ladies
that scream they see the
California or the NT, the
National Teachers Association,
and the other one, they both
have screamers. Now the thing
is, the Shapiro did speak at the
event, and I have to say, and I
can see why they call him the
Jewish Obama. He has the same
cadence. He does the same
structure. He does the 12345,
repeating himself in a certain
kind of a way that very Obama
esque. Obviously, there's a
speaking coach that teaches
this, and he's, he's really
good, but no, he's
Adam Curry: out well. So here,
here's some, some, some of the
nasty dirt.
John C Dvorak: By the way, he
can't be too happy.
Unknown: He's joyful. He's not
happy. He's joyful. There's a
big difference. Big difference.
Big difference. He
John C Dvorak: can't be too
joyful. I don't think he's
joyful.
Adam Curry: Here's another thing
that's a problem for him. Alex,
Unknown: critics are also
blasting Tim Walz for saying
they are saying that he failed
to prevent a massive covid 19
fraud scheme that ensnared the
state of Minnesota, the
Minnesota government. What's the
latest on that? Well,
Diane, what's interesting, this
is one of the largest covid era
fraud cases that we know of thus
far, federal charges filed
against some 70 individuals
basically saying that they took
advantage of two different covid
era relief programs to the tune
of about $250 million now it's
important to note that the
governor Walz has not been
charged or or that even there
haven't even been accusations
that he was somehow involved in
this, but the criticism is that
he appointed the folks that were
overseeing the handing out of
these funds. I can say that an
audit done of the doling out the
disbursement of these funds.
Adam Curry: There's this guy
trying time to dance around it.
He
John C Dvorak: did. Why this guy
can't just get it blurted out?
Is he a professional? Oh, yeah,
it gets worse. They
Unknown: can do better, and that
any responsibility in that falls
at his feet. But again, this is
something that he has not been
wrapped up in he's not, he's not
charged, or, or, or faces any
charges or stemming from, from,
from, from this case, yeah, no,
Adam Curry: it's dirt, and it's
not good for him. Now he does
have the trans kids. This was an
unbelievable report, because he,
he, he sounded like a mainstream
he,
Unknown: yeah, because he,
Adam Curry: because he turned
his his state into a sanctuary
state for kids who want to have
transgender surgery without
their parents permission, not a
very popular thing. I don't
think anywhere anymore. And
listen to this child abuse also
Unknown: standing in that. Sea
of people, a parent, transparent
about his family. My partner,
Gretchen, Oh, I
Adam Curry: love transparent.
You're transparent. You're a
transparent. So transparent,
you're transparent. Parent,
Unknown: transparent about his
family.
My partner, Gretchen and I are
here today.
Adam Curry: Can't even say wife.
Can't even say wife. Has to say,
my partner, okay, maybe he's not
married, but you know what?
John C Dvorak: I mean, he's
like, probably married. I mean,
this the kid that is. This the
six year old. Yeah, this is so
pathetic about
Unknown: his family. My partner,
Gretchen, and I are here today
because we are parents of a
trans child.
Their child is six years old,
and she was as excited to be at
a boring capital on spring break
as any six year old kid could be
squirming and fidgeting her way
through speeches, hardly aware
her existence as why her parents
drove five hours today to speak
publicly.
Adam Curry: This is a great
setup, hardly aware for
existence, but she knows she's
trans. Speak publicly. It's
Unknown: 100% personal. I mean,
the safety, the happiness of our
child is, is it couldn't be more
personal Asher. Why
are we here today for trans
right, for her rights to be, Oh,
her, yeah, as you can see from
this,
Adam Curry: this breaks my
heart. They've psyoped This kid
into believing the kid is trans,
and I'm here for trans six years
old. 6pm six years old. That's
heartbreaking. What these people
are doing.
John C Dvorak: Well, here I want
to play just this the Minnesota
Attorney General. This is the
clip, which kind of is a little
background around on this whole
thing. They they're really trans
nuts up there in Minnesota this,
m n, a G,
Adam Curry: M N, a G, got it?
Because, let's
Unknown: be clear, this is life
affirming and life saving?
Health care,
when our children tell us who
they are, it is our job as grown
ups to listen and to believe
them. Please clap. That's what
it means to be a good parent.
Well,
Adam Curry: John, you and I are
both parents, and by the way,
may I congratulate? Oh no,
John C Dvorak: and we're again.
I love the term grown ups. Oh
yeah, that's
Unknown: Bucha 12. Yeah.
Adam Curry: I would like to
congratulate you on 40 years of
matrimony, and they never had a
fight. I thought it was 4036 oh
yeah, no, it's four. Yes, 3636
and Mimi came down to celebrate.
John C Dvorak: She's on her way.
Adam Curry: She's on her way,
clear the decks, she's on her
way. What are you guys doing
tonight?
John C Dvorak: Depends on what
time she gets here. Well, don't
Adam Curry: you have a
reservation at a swanky
restaurant?
John C Dvorak: You know, she's
picked up this weird, oh, the
food allergy, yeah, a wheat
thing ever since, a covid, which
really cracked the it's very
difficult to eat at any
restaurants without her getting
sick. You're cooking for her,
yeah, I can cook better in most
places.
Adam Curry: I know you can. So
what are you cooking?
John C Dvorak: I've kind of
fallen back on cooking filet
mignon, roast, mac
Adam Curry: and cheese,
John C Dvorak: mac and cheese,
mac and cheese. Happy
anniversary.
Adam Curry: Happy anniversary.
John C Dvorak: So that's good,
man. I'm
Adam Curry: happy for you guys.
36 years that's nothing to
nothing, nothing to joke about.
It's nothing
John C Dvorak: to sneeze at. So
back to this woman, kids at six
don't know kids are going to
tell you what they what they
are. JC, when he was, I think
this is a good story. JC, was
three characters, yes, besides
being himself, a little kid,
about 678, years old, yes, he
was also a robot, yes. And my
favorite, Jacques, the maitre.
D,
Adam Curry: hmm. Which I'm sure
you took advantage of, just like
he was trying. Oh
John C Dvorak: yeah. Well, he
would, when he was shocked the
Mater D, yeah, and he was
roaming around with it, with a
napkin over his over his arm,
go,
Adam Curry: forearm, Go, get me
this from the kitchen. Jock, he
would,
John C Dvorak: he would go do
all kinds of errands. But he was
also the robot. He was also a
third character, which I think
was a cat. Oh, yeah, I
Adam Curry: never heard about
the cat, but I yeah, I can't
remember the
John C Dvorak: third character,
because it wasn't as strong a
character as jock and the robot.
But this is what are we supposed
to do at that point? Oh, he's a
he's a reason. He's a mater. D,
let's make him a major. D, what
if he. Wanted to be a girl for
five minutes. What we're gonna
do? I mean, this is ridiculous.
Kids do this stuff and you're
not. You take it to a point you
don't take it so seriously that
you chop their nuts off.
Adam Curry: Okay? No, no, you
don't. But in today's world, you
know, remember, we're all still
incredibly traumatized by covid.
So people are still strange. We
have to keep remembering this
stuff happened during covid That
made and remember my, my my hair
girl and she says that there's a
very high correlation between
people who were wearing masks in
the car by themselves for three
years, who also have trans kids.
It's, it's part of the same
trauma that has been, just been
been injected into them. It's
like, it is a four. It's like,
MK Ultra. I really think it's,
it's related.
John C Dvorak: Well, it's
definitely weird. Oh, there you
go. And I hate to use that word
I mean. And if you if I say it
again, if I say weird again,
call me out and make me stop.
Okay, because I don't like the
word at all anymore, so I'll say
peculiar.
Adam Curry: Yes, that's a good
one. Peculiar. That's peculiar
is that the best word we can
come up with, there's got to be
a better one, strange.
John C Dvorak: Let
Adam Curry: me see synonyms for
let me see weird,
John C Dvorak: similars for
weirdness. Let's look at what
they could be weird, okay, but
while you're looking that up, I
will, I will say that.
Adam Curry: Listen to this.
There's this. Okay, go ahead.
You'll say this, and I'll give
you some, some other words.
Really use screwy, bizarre,
bizarre, curious, I like
curious, erratic, erratic,
quirky, quirky, quirky, quirky,
off the wall, off beat queer,
huh? That's interesting. That's
queer.
John C Dvorak: Maybe that's what
they're trying to inject,
bizarro,
Adam Curry: outlandish, wacky,
with or without an H,
Unknown: kinky.
Adam Curry: I like, I like
quirky. Now that's quirky is
good. Quirky, unique anyway. So
I realize now that because I
have, I have made a habit of
watching these zoom calls, these
phony baloney zoom calls where
they say, Oh, this is the
biggest zoom call audience ever.
We know it's not true. We know
that you don't have 100 or
200,000 people on a zoom call.
You may have people watching a
stream, but that's not all on
the Zoom call. So there's some
disingenuity there, but Tim
waltz was on the white dudes for
Harris, the crackers for Kamala
call. And I have to say, I like
this guy for one reason. He's
highly editable, and then he
speaks in bursts, and you and
there's enough pause you can you
can slap stuff together. So I
took his four minutes and broke
it down to one with the punch
line at the end,
Unknown: I'm going to echo that
message, that message of hope.
My oldest daughter's name is
Hope. That's because my wife and
I spent seven years trying to
get pregnant, needed fertility
treatments, things like IVF,
things that they would ban. And
so once again, I keep talking
about this idea. You're right.
These guys are the anti
freedoms. I grew up in a small
town, 400 people, 24 kids in the
class, 12 cousins. And I hear JD
Vance trying to talk about what
a small town is. There's one
golden rule in a small town.
Those of you under from a small
town, mind your own damn
business. We don't need it. I
don't know who's asking for this
crazy stuff that they're pushing
who's asking to ban birth
control?
Adam Curry: No one.
John C Dvorak: No, no. He's full
of crap. He's a liar this.
Adam Curry: No one. No one is
asking for that. Who's
Unknown: asking to raise the
price of insulin?
Adam Curry: No one. No one is
asking for that. No one. Tim,
Unknown: I'm a legion Club
member, and none of the dudes
there are. What's
Adam Curry: the Legion club?
John C Dvorak: I have no idea.
I've never American Legion.
American Legion.
Adam Curry: They said Legion
club.
John C Dvorak: I think he's,
that's, I think he shortened it,
but it's got, it's got to be the
American Legion for, it's for
veterans.
Unknown: I'm a legion Club
member, and none of the dudes
there are asking to cut veterans
benefits like Project 2025.
Does. Oh, really. So look, we
need to point out
Adam Curry: he's a big look guy,
by the way, he's really good at
the look like, look. So look,
Unknown: look, we need to point
out to this. The reason rural
America hurts is because robber
barons like these guys have come
in there. They undermine the
basic social safety net that
makes this country great. So
this is preaching to the choir,
but the choir needs to sing. No,
Adam Curry: this guy's as good
as Kamala. This like that. This
is preaching to the choir, but
The choir's gotta sing.
Unknown: We're not in this
alone. The rest of the world
needs us to be here. These guys
throwing our names.
Adam Curry: We're not in this
alone. The rest of the world
needs us to be here. This guy is
good.
Unknown: This is preaching to
the choir, but the choir needs
to sing. We're not in this
alone. The rest of the world.
Needs us to be here, these guys
throwing our NATO allies under
the bus, the idea that they
don't care what happens in the
rest of
Adam Curry: the world, this is
completely not true. The he's
basing this on Trump saying if
they don't pay, we're not going
to protect so it's not same as
throwing your NATO Allies under
the bus not
Unknown: addressing climate
change that's going to impact
communities that are less
fortunate than anyone else,
though
Adam Curry: that's also not
true. They are addressing
climate change. They just don't
believe in the hoax, but they
are addressing it,
Unknown: not addressing climate
change. That's going to impact
communities that are less
fortunate than anyone else.
Those are the things it has to
do. We have communities that are
going to pay the price because
we don't address it. And for one
thing, don't ever, don't ever
shy away from our progressive
values. One person's socialism
is another person's
neighborliness. Just do the damn
work. Yeah, and that's
Adam Curry: what's going to tank
him forever. He's basically
saying one person's No. He's
literally saying one person's
socialism is the other person's
neighborliness. No, socialism is
socialism. And if you, if you
don't understand the
distinction, then just you're
dumb.
John C Dvorak: So, so I have
some, I have some wall stuff
too, but I want to stick with
the Zoom calls for a minute.
Okay, stay with the Zoom call.
But I haven't at this at the at
the rollout, when he was
introduced,
Adam Curry: I was, well, I was
moving on, all right. Well,
we'll do Your will do? I'll come
back to the Zoom calls after
your waltz stuff. What you got?
Okay,
John C Dvorak: so he comes out
and lies about, I have two
clips. First, he lies about
Trump. Okay, which is bound to
do, sorry.
Unknown: Donald Trump sees the
world a little differently than
us. First of all, he doesn't
know the first thing about
service. He doesn't have time
for it, because he's too busy
serving himself again and again
and again. Trump weakens our
economy to strengthen his own
hand.
Right? He must lost money.
Adam Curry: He's not doing very
well at that Gambit. Is he?
Unknown: Trump weakens our
economy to strengthen his own
hand. He mocks our laws. He sows
chaos and division, and that's
to say nothing of his record as
president. He froze in the face
of the covid crisis. He drove
our economy into the ground. And
make no mistake, violent crime
was up under Donald Trump.
That's not even counting the
crimes he committed.
Do you think he writes that
himself?
John C Dvorak: I think he does.
That's not bad at this point. I
think he does. I mean,
eventually, maybe he's going to
bring in some pros, but he is,
because I've listened to enough
of him, he's got a pretty good
style of it's a kind of a
switcheroo punchline style that,
yeah, I think it's just natural
to him. He's an asshole. So
Unknown: John, John, you sound
like Twitter? Yes,
John C Dvorak: I do. I've been
on Twitter. This is him now. He
goes against, he goes up
against. He starts condemning
Vance. Oh, okay.
Unknown: Vice President Kamala
Harris takes her new running
mate, Governor, well, this is
Wallace versus Vance.
John C Dvorak: Is that the clip
you want? Walls versus Oh, okay,
yeah, you can play that. But
that's how I thought I had a
different clip. Well, should I
not play this? And to go back to
the zoom, you might as well play
to get it out of
Unknown: the way, Vice President
Kamala Harris takes her new
running mate, Governor Tim Walz,
to the battleground states of
Wisconsin and Michigan, but
Trump's VP pick, Senator JD
Vance, shows up in the same
exact cities to ramp up his
counter messaging entities.
White House correspondent. Iris
Tao has more
in their first full day as
running mates vice president
Kamala Harris and Minnesota
Governor Tim Walz came painting
in Wisconsin and later in
Michigan, and
in 90 days, the nation will know
Coach walls by a new title,
Vice President walls, who's just
tapped as Harris' VP pick the
day before, continues to
highlight his background as a
veteran for
24 years, I proudly wear the
uniform of this nation, the
former President Trump's running
mate, Senator J, D, Vance
traveled to the same exact
cities where Harrison walls are
campaigning. Vance criticizing
what he calls open border
policies,
and I heard just earlier about a
criminal who was deported from
this community who came back in
and then raped an 11 year old
girl and
responding to the attack line,
Adam Curry: taking the high
road, huh, calling him weird.
Look, I got my wife
Unknown: here. I've got three
beautiful kids at home. I'm a
normal guy who wants to live the
American dream and wants all of
you and your kids to be able to
live the American dream. If
those people want to call me
weird, I think it's a badge
of honor. Earlier today, Vance
landed in Wisconsin just minutes
after Harris touched down at the
same airport. Vance walked to
Air Force Two then told
reporters,
I just wanted to check out my
future plane
the Harris campaign on
Wednesday. That's
Adam Curry: not. Fair, they cut
off the better part of that. He
said, I just want to check out
my future plane. And I figured
you of the press will be lonely
because she never stops to talk
to you. That's what
Unknown: he said. Then told
reporters,
I just, I just wanted to check
out my future plane. The
Harris campaign on Wednesday
said it had raised $36 million
since announcing walls as the VP
pick. According to a new memo,
the campaign will focus on the
so called blue wall states like
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and
Michigan, and use walls as a key
asset in appealing to rural
voters.
I think a better I'm sorry, I
John C Dvorak: was going to just
say make two comments about Yes.
First of all wall said in that
one speech where he talked about
carrying arms in the in combat,
which he never did, he said he
was in the army. He never was in
the army, national army, the
National Guard is not the Army.
Army. It's different, for sure,
it's totally different. Not if
you were in the Coast Guard, you
were in the army, you're not.
No. The other thing is this
coach thing, which really bugs
me when it doesn't come up as
much as it should. Supposedly,
it was the coach of the football
team, and the football team went
from win list one year to the
net the state championship. He
was not the coach of that
football team. He was the
linebacker coach, a linebacker
coach for a high school football
team, is probably just one step
above water. Boy, hello. So
that's another example.
Adam Curry: Everybody. Check
falls. Come on,
John C Dvorak: tech. Check
false. It wasn't. JCD,
Unknown: yeah, that's
Adam Curry: good, by the way. I
think a better word is cookie.
Those guys are, that's
John C Dvorak: what I like.
Cookie we haven't heard since
the days of 77 Sunset Strip,
that's all your old timers are.
Adam Curry: What was 77 Sunset
Strip,
John C Dvorak: it was a, it was
a black and white, late 50s,
early 60s. I think TV show about
detectives, and there was this
guy Ed kooky Burns, who was
actually also a singer. Oh,
great. And kooky was a very
popular term in that era.
Adam Curry: Well, I'm bringing
it back kooky. I think kooky is
is cool. Kooky is cool. So
anyway, so I watched the I
watched the Zoom calls. But I
just love this concept, because
it's so dumb. We had the comics,
comics for Kamala. I sent a link
to Joe Rogan, and I say, what is
this? He says, It's Cox for
camel. Ah, okay, got it. It was
organized by Eric Swalwell. The
only thing that was actually
kind of funny was John Hamm came
in at the beginning. Who was,
you know, arguably one of the
biggest stars in Hollywood and
and the host from The Daily
Show, Paul Mercurio, another
funny guy. He did like, Oh, John
Hamm, you're on the wrong call.
And just cut him off. That was,
that was kind of funny. So then
we had in in order of
appearance, Swalwell, the
funniest guy in California,
Donny Kathy Griffin, sia John
Pritzker, another comic, Adam
pally representative, Maxwell
frost, Nick's. Nick Offerman
actually have a clip of his if
you want to hear it. Tiffany had
dish. She twerked bad. This was
really hilarious. Mark Hamill
came back, and at this point,
there's only 23,000 people at 39
minutes in who have watched this
thing, Lake Bell John Stamos and
Matt friend. And Matt friend did
a Howard. He did a decent
Howard, stern impersonation.
That was kind of funny, but it
wasn't like hilarious Michigan
State Senator Mallory McMorrow,
then Rosie O'Donnell, who was
just moaning about her VRBO. Ed
Helms, Phoebe Robinson, Kathy
Griffith came back in again.
Lisa Ann Walter and Tom Arnold.
That was cringy. Kevin Nealon,
oh rip. Kevin Nealon, Jared
Moskovitz, he's from Florida.
And George Wallace, and so by 90
minutes, there's only as less
than 21,000 people watching this
fabulous zoom call. And here's
an example of the comedy, the
comedic stylings here of Ben
Stiller on cucks for Kamala. I
just want to
Unknown: let you know I'm gonna
match your $150,000 donation.
Everybody's got to get out and
vote and donate. And she's also
an historic candidate, you know,
it's going to be the first woman
president, and that's incredibly
exciting. And, you know, she's
Indian, she's black, she's
everything you can be more than
one thing. It's incredible. You
know, I'm Jewish and Irish. I
wish I was black every. A white,
Jewish guy wishes he was black.
You know, it's just get out
there and vote and donate and
like, take advantage. This is
such an important time right
now, and this, this, this wave
of energy that's happening. We
got to keep going with it. So
please do everything you can.
Wave
John C Dvorak: areas. Wave
Adam Curry: of hilarious energy.
I've got to play some of this
parody that Nick Offerman did
John C Dvorak: before you do
that. I contacted mo facts, and
I also talked to Horowitz about
this, every white Jew wants to
be black.
Unknown: And what did you learn?
I
John C Dvorak: learned that
actually mo had an interesting
take, because he said that a lot
of young white Jews are into hip
hop and and they kind of want to
be black in a certain kind of a
hip hop way. They ain't like us.
See Drake and yes. And Horowitz
was just like, shake you. Just
hear him shaking his head.
Adam Curry: He hung up, didn't?
He went, I'm not listening.
John C Dvorak: He was a DM, so,
DM,
Adam Curry: so Nick Offerman, do
you know Nick often? I've never
seen this guy. He's got, yeah,
yeah. He's got side burns like
that, Andy and Octo and knock,
knock, knock. And he did his you
just tell me when you want to
stop. Maybe after one verse,
you'll be done. He did a parody
of Lee Green's, I'm proud to be
an American, which is Trump's
signature song.
Unknown: When he bought the
disabled and war heroes, I look
the other way. He said to march
on the Capitol. Well, if the
President says it's okay and I
don't mind sex with porn stars,
I'd do it too, if I had the
guts. But when it comes to
fucking the furniture. Well,
that's just fucking nuts. So I'm
proud to be a Kamala man who has
quit the GOP comes. I just can't
abide a man who's tried the 34
felonies, and it's time to stand
up and face the facts that the
men that I once cheered are a
bunch of wingnut white
nationalists. Those guys are
fucking weird. All right,
Adam Curry: I'm gonna have to
stop it here. I mean, this, it.
This is so, I mean, I pray,
please don't make Kamala Harris
president, because this is the
level of humor we'll have to
endure. It'll be, it'll be
horrible. And it's,
John C Dvorak: I mean, even
cussing, lot of cussing, oh,
Adam Curry: a lot of cussing.
And then, and just to try and in
hopefulness, in hopefulness by
the mainstream media without a
mean Morning Joe and
Unknown: fans of Saturday Night
Live have a new role in mind for
actor Steve Martin. They want
him to play the Democrats vice
presidential nominee Tim Walz in
the upcoming season. It's
already confirmed that Maya
Rudolph is returning this fall
to portray Kamala Harris. She
won an Emmy for the role back in
2022 good. I do think that could
work. Oh,
Adam Curry: he'd be fantastic,
yeah, because you guys clearly,
clearly, are the party of humor.
It's
John C Dvorak: amazing. So,
yeah, well, he rejected the
idea, of
Adam Curry: course he did. So
there was a very interesting
post on X from a woman named
Laura Powell, and it's about the
money. And so Kamala Harris
filed an updated Statement of
Candidacy, which is known as
form two, to designate Tim waltz
as her running mate. But there's
some things that have happened
here. She used Biden's personal
candidate ID number instead of
her own, and the federal
election committee records are
confusing at this point, her
newly filed form two shows up on
Biden's personal FEC page. But
if you look at the 2024,
election cycle, Biden is just
erased and replaced with Harris,
as if he was never running for
president in the first place. So
she has this whole rundown, and
at a certain point, the 2324 FEC
record for Biden for president,
aka Harris for president, is
linked to two presidential
candidates. Both are named
Kamala Harris. So the synopsis
of this and the whole rundown is
in the show notes. It's a win
win for the for the Democrat
elites. Either way, if she
somehow wins, then all of the
money, which you know, we know,
is coming from very small
sources, but split up through
act blue, we have some proof of
that keeps flowing to all of
them, connected through the.
It's,
John C Dvorak: well, it's just
to clarify, small number of
sorts, yeah,
Adam Curry: a small number, but,
but a big but big, big numbers,
big,
John C Dvorak: big bucks, if you
probably overseas so China. If
she wins,
Adam Curry: then all the money,
of course, goes back to everyone
who donated win. You know,
favors. That's how it works. If
she loses, then this $310
million they have, which was,
includes the campaign cash the
original Biden for President
Horde, they can then dole out to
themselves over time, however
they wish, and they don't have
to deal with Biden anymore. So
they just get to keep all the
money. It's it's it. I mean, I
don't really understand it, but
that's why I put on the show
notes. Everybody can look at it,
John C Dvorak: yeah, I'd like to
understand it better, yeah. I
Adam Curry: mean, it's boring
for me to just read it to you.
So that's why I'm not gonna,
right, uh,
John C Dvorak: Biden's got to
get some VIG out of that.
Adam Curry: Well, you know,
Trump is out there saying that
Biden is so let me do it. Maybe.
Do I have a clip of that? Let me
see. I think I may have a clip.
Let
Unknown: me see if this is it.
Generally, we don't bother to
read the at former President
Donald Trump's deranged social
Adam Curry: media. But this
time, it's groovy. But
Unknown: this one is so unstable
and so unhinged, it's important
that Americans maybe know just
how imbalanced the Republican
nominee is. So here goes Trump
writes in full quote, this is
the most radical left duo in
American history. There has
never been anything like it, and
there never will be again crazy.
Come up blah is indeed crazy. I
hear there is a big movement to
bring back crooked Joe. What are
the chances that crooked Joe
Biden, the worst president in
the history of the US whose
presidency was
unconstitutionally stolen from
him by come blah blah Barack
Hussein, Obama, crazy, Nancy
Pelosi, shifty, Adam Schiff,
crying. Chuck Schumer and others
on the lunatic left crashes the
Democratic National Convention
and tries to take back the
nomination, beginning with
challenging me to another debate
he feels that he made a
historically tragic mistake by
handing over the US presidency,
a coup to the people in the
world he most hates, and he
wants it back now.
Adam Curry: Now that's not that
crazy. I like that post. Can you
imagine Biden starting off the
DNC by saying, I got robbed. I
got hairy legs. I got robbed. He
John C Dvorak: hasn't got the
guts to do that, but it's a
funny idea, because there's some
thought that, for example, this
came up in a recent one of
these, one of these shows on TV,
the idea that Biden was put into
the position long before the
convention to do the debate,
knowing he was going to fail So
they get rid of him. It was all
part of a grand scheme, maybe
orchestrated by Obama, because
he wanted to, you know, gets
back in, in some sort of power
position. And so you the idea
was to bring Biden out to debate
Trump, and don't Jack him up,
because where was jacked up Joe,
because we expected him to be
like he was at the at the State
of the Union, State of the
Union, where he's all yelling
and screaming and all jacked up.
He wasn't even close to that.
They may have even given him a
set, you know, some sort of a
donor, a barbiturate for all you
know. You know, here's your
shot, Joe, huh? And the idea was
so he would have an epic fail so
they could get rid of him, even
though he took a little while
before he took took the hint. So
it's all within the realm of
possibility. Well, we'll see.
He's been jobbed, is the theory
he's been job was suckered,
because if they let this thing
go, and that had the debate
until after Trump totally
Adam Curry: got suckered into
that, yeah, well, and also,
look, I mean to say, No, I won't
debate you before the
convention. It would have been a
whole mess. I can see his
thinking. But yeah, they, they,
that was a check, you know, not
checkmate, but check they
John C Dvorak: also make sense,
if you think about that, with
that theory in mind, 40 to think
about the way the CNN, the two
stooges at CNN, who are Trump
haters, both of them, at some
point, I think, called Trump
Hitler. They were so neutral
about the whole thing, and they
just, did they do any fact
checking, nothing. They just let
the thing go. It all
Adam Curry: go. Oh, what you
mean? The media is in on it. Oh
no. Oh no, don't say it. Here's
a, just a quick clip from
O'Keeffe media. OMG. O'Keefe
Media Group proving back,
proving how this act blue scam
works. It's, it's quite simple,
actually.
Unknown: Hello, everyone. I'm
sitting here with my mother and
I decided to take a look at the
election watch to see if my
mother's name was safe and
secure. What her name. Being
used for contributions, and we
found out that she was being her
name was being used over 30
times from Bernie Sanders
contributions, Mom, did you make
any contributions to Bernie
Sanders Absolutely not.
Angie Jones, from Indiana,
submitted a video of her mother,
Alberta Jones, who goes by Mrs.
Robert Jones, saying she did not
donate to act blue or a Bernie
Sanders pack, as the FEC records
show,
from 2019 to 2024 so
you're positive you didn't make
any I'm very positive I have
bank records that show where my
contributions went. Great. So
you would turn those records
over to me to prove that you
didn't make these contributions.
Yes, indeed.
Alberta Jones gave O'Keefe media
her consent to show these bank
records proving during the time
period of 2019 no donations were
given to act blue at all.
How does that make you feel that
your name was used? I feel
violated.
Adam Curry: And by the way the
Go Red or whatever Jared Kushner
is running, I'm sure they do the
same thing. It would be crazy to
think they don't. It's, it's
money laundering, yes, well, and
but we know that the Chi coms
are doing that with Obama, with
the credit cards. This is an
old, old scam.
John C Dvorak: But of course, it
has. They've done nothing to
stop it. No,
Adam Curry: are you crazy? No,
we're not gonna do that.
Everybody loves money. I only
one more clip, and I want to
move off of camel and and waltz,
because I'm very tired of it,
and it's all anyone seems to be
talking about. But this is very
weak. This shows an incredible
weakness by the Vice President
when she's heckled by some pro
Palestine protesters during her
speech, she like Obama, I will
say, although the media mainly
cut most of his protest, his his
heckling out, we demonstrated
that throughout, throughout the
years, that would never air the
Sometimes it went on for
minutes. Yeah, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.
John C Dvorak: Like that. You're
in my house. You take a drink.
You got a drink from here.
You're
Adam Curry: my house. Wait,
where is we? Have that clip
somewhere, don't
John C Dvorak: we? You're in my
house. You're in my house. Let
Unknown: me see
John C Dvorak: drinking my
booze.
Adam Curry: You're in my house.
Obama in my house. Here it is,
hey,
Unknown: listen,
hey, you're in my house. Hey,
game on you. You
shouldn't be doing this.
We have a lot of jingles with
that.
Adam Curry: I think the Batman
is even funnier. Here we go.
Hey,
Unknown: no,
I've told you that you're in my
house. If you're eating the hors
d'oeuvres and drinking the
booze, we'll have to take you
out to the Batmobile. Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go. Atomic
batteries.
Adam Curry: Where? Are these
guys who make this stuff all
right anyway? Comma, not as
funny, but she cannot handle
hecklers tax
Unknown: breaks to billionaires
and big corporations. He intends
to cut Social Security and
Medicare. He intends to
surrender our fight against the
climate crisis, and he intends
to end the Affordable Care Act.
You know what? If you want
Donald Trump to win, then say
that otherwise. I'm speaking,
okay,
Adam Curry: oh, no. So if you
want Donald Trump to win, say
that otherwise, I'm speaking. I
have the microphone.
John C Dvorak: What were they
saying?
Adam Curry: They were saying,
hey, hey, hey, ho, Kamala,
you're a ho. They were no, no.
They were saying, you know,
what's the chant is, we see what
you did. You know, it's
basically telling her that she
doesn't care about Palestine.
Unknown: That's what. That's
what. It's very typical,
John C Dvorak: very well. This
is going to be a great
convention. It should be fun,
Adam Curry: yeah? But now, now
that we've all seen that she
can't handle hecklers without
going all school, Marm on it,
I'm pretty sure that that there
will be all kinds of people in
in the crowd. Now, that's what I
would do. You
John C Dvorak: know what I mean?
Yeah, she doesn't have, yeah,
she doesn't have any heckler
skills, because she hasn't had
to deal with them.
Adam Curry: Okay, I want to move
to what I'm going to start
calling the social media wars,
because that's what it's turning
into. And we need to switch over
to the United Kingdom, where
it's unbelievable to Americans.
It's unbelievable what is taking
place with these with these
riots, with. Much depending on
where you stand, are anti
immigration riots or far right
hooligans, more race riots, race
riots. That's another good one.
And this is quite the challenge
for the for the new government,
and issue, if you recall, they
had a meeting. That's where we
left everything. And here is the
prime minister after the
meeting, after the meeting which
they were going to have, and
have a big meeting. And this is
what came out of the big meeting
Unknown: this morning, which was
an opportunity that I took to
thank the police for their work
over the last few days to
express my support for the
police officers who have been
injured and the communities
impacted by this mindless
thuggery, for a number of
actions that came out of the
meeting. The first is we will
have a standing army of
specialist officers, public duty
officers, so we'll have enough
officers to deal with this where
we need them. The second is,
we'll ramp up criminal justice.
There have already been hundreds
of arrests. Some have appeared
in court. This morning, I have
asked for early consideration of
the earliest naming and
identification of those involved
in the process who will feel the
full force of the law. And
thirdly, I've been absolutely
clear that the criminal law
applies online as well as
offline, and I'm assured that
that's the approach that is
being taken, whatever the
apparent motivation. This is not
protest. It is pure violence,
and we will not tolerate attacks
on mosques or our Muslim
communities. So the full force
of the law will be visited on
all those who are identified as
having taken part in these
activities. In relation to the
police, I am absolutely clear
that we will have the officers
we need, where we need them to
deal with this disorder, and
that is why the standing army
has been set up, specialist
standing army ready to be
deployed to support communities
on the question of prisons.
Firstly, we're monitoring it on
a daily basis. I'm appalled
we've been put in this position
by the previous government. That
is even a discussion. It's even
a question that you have to ask
me, but we will make this work
and ensure that we've got the
places that are needed to bring
the perpetrators swiftly to
justice. So on both those
fronts, I'm confident that we
can absolutely make sure that
those engaged in this activity
do feel the full force of the
law. So
Adam Curry: there's a couple of
things that really stand out
here. One is the term standing
army. You know, this is what we
would call a violation of habeas
corpus. In the United States, we
have constitutional laws against
deploying army and even calling
it a standing army is quite
severe, and they have indeed
been deployed
Unknown: in Plymouth on the
southwest coast of England. Six
people were arrested and several
officers injured by projectiles
and fireworks launched by far
right crowds, police are warning
that anyone participating in the
riots will face prison time. We
feel as community members deeply
affronted by this completely
unnecessary violent disorder. A
conviction for violent disorder
usually carries a hefty term of
imprisonment. Prime
Minister Keir Starmer says a
standing army of 6000 specialist
officers has been put on duty to
confront the unrest. Officials
say much of it has been
instigated by disinformation and
hate speech being spread online.
It's
spread out across telegram
channels, many of which were
actually created in the
aftermath of covid 19, where you
saw anti lockdown and have
really been repurposed in recent
years, in particular to target
migrants. The
riots broke out last Tuesday in
the town of South Court near
Liverpool, after internet users
falsely blamed attack that
killed three young girls on a
Muslim asylum seeker breaking
protocol. In a bid to counter
the misinformation, a British
court identified the arrested
suspect as a 17 year old citizen
born in the UK to Christian
parents from Rwanda.
Adam Curry: So you see the move
is that's being made here. Is
very, very clear. The move is,
oh, you know, they're targeting
immigrants on social media. Oh
no, oh no. They're hurting their
feelings on social media. Oh no.
This is a very deliberate act
that is taking place here. This
is the UK Director of Public
Prosecution. The
Unknown: offense of incitement
to racial hatred involves
publishing or distributing
material which is insulting or
abusive, which is intended to or
likely to start racial hate. To
it. So if you retweet that, then
you'll be publishing that, and
then potentially you're
committing that offense. And we
do have dedicated police
officers who are scouring social
media. Their job is to look for
this material and then follow up
with identification, arrests and
so forth. So it's a really,
really serious people might
think they're not doing anything
harmful, they are, and the
consequences will be visited
upon them. So,
Adam Curry: I mean, it's mind
boggling, but they are taking
what's happening on the streets
and people, you know, fighting
and throwing stuff and burning
stuff and rioting, they're now
just completely focused on
online, online, online, online,
and if you say something hateful
or something that hurts
somebody's feelings and they
complain about it, you will get
arrested. This is a Brit who got
arrested for posting a comment
on Facebook
Unknown: the times 20 to 314,
40, arresting you on suspicion
of improper use of the
electronics communications
network and seven Communications
Act. Okay, so you do not have to
say that that main harmony one
question second later on for
anything you do say, maybe given
their evidence, do you
understand that? So I'm actually
being arrested? Okay, that's a
police station, right? Okay,
this is in relation to some
comments that you've made on the
Facebook page,
Facebook, Prime Minister,
we need to ask you some
questions about that.
You said I was going to be
arrested under some more
information, but I'm going to be
arrested for posting on Facebook
some comments that are offensive
obscene, and people have made a
complaint about that, and it's,
can you tell me what this
comment was? So
what am
I going to be locked up for
tonight? Or,
Adam Curry: okay, so you just
get arrested. They come to your
house, they arrest you. Now for
some insight on this, on what
you can and cannot post, we turn
to the black belt barrister, who
has a he's very famous in the
UK. He's a YouTuber, and he has
a little rundown of the issues
here, which is all based on the
UK communications law of 2003
Unknown: can you be prosecuted
for just sharing content of
these riots online? I've been
tagged a number of times now in
response to the Sky News article
regarding the director pulley
prosecutions about sharing
content of these riots. So let's
take a little bit of a look at
that in follow up to my previous
videos. If it were just a
recording of the overall event
and it wasn't one specific on
one side or another, now that's
difficult these days, because
some of these are very much one
sided. Then if it were just a
general video of the overall
circumstances, then that is less
likely to be stirring up any
kind of hatred. But if it was a
very specific video with
specific wording which is
deliberately intended within
that video to stir up hatred in
the first place, and you're
sharing it, and it is likely to
stir up that hatred in the same
way, then by redistributing
republishing, you might well be
committing that offense, just as
in a defamation case, if you
republish a statement that was
originally defamatory, you are
republishing a defamatory
statement. You can then be like
liable for that defamatory
statement yourself. So this very
much is an offense, and there
are, well, several offenses,
because under the section the
use of words or behavior written
material, or publishing or
distributing written material or
playing a recording or broadcast
and so on. And so, as I said in
my previous videos, they are
obviously taking all of this
very seriously. So my stark
warning to you a couple of
videos ago was just refrain from
commenting if you're not sure of
what you're saying. Refrain from
reposting, retweeting,
republishing whatever videos
that might well amount to this
kind of offense
Adam Curry: for people who come
from the retweets are not
endorsement land that is not
available to you as a defense in
the UK, this is the line in the
communications law of 2003
electronic communications which
are grossly offensive or
indecent, obscene or menacing or
false for the purpose of causing
annoyance, inconvenience or
needless anxiety to someone
else. I mean, you might as well
just turn off your computer.
John C Dvorak: But Well, the
word annoyance is the key here,
of course,
Adam Curry: but that's not even
necessary, because this is how
far they're going. This is the
conversation now in the UK, in
Britain, this is Good Morning
Britain. Listen to this as the
Unknown: police brace themselves
for more riots today, in the
coming days, the role social
media has played is under the
spotlight with. Calls for the
big tech giants to take action,
but should access be limited by
government police? If rights
happening in a place, what would
that even look like? Well,
the government could use what's
called packet filtering. So
that's when access to sites and
specific content is blocked by
Internet service providers. But
if they did that, it would be
unprecedented here in the UK,
with restrictions like this,
only seen in author
authoritarian countries like
North Korea, Russia and China,
France's President Macron raised
the idea as something that it
might consider last year in
response to riots there, but it
actually never materialized. So
is
it time to consider doing that?
Here we're joined now by
broadcaster el Sala, he who
thinks social media is vital to
freedom of speech, and
entrepreneur Anna Veleta, who
says a temporary shutdown could
stop the spread of information.
It might work. I think
so. I think so. I think we
should stop it. It's only a
temporary measure in order to
limit the spread of inflammatory
information, misinformation as
well across the United Kingdom
at this point and this I think
we should focus in keeping
people safe and communities safe
as well. So my point is just to
stop it. And I think we consider
that in 2011 when David Cameron
was a prime minister, he did
consider imports of Parliament
at times when there's a need for
it to further occur. And as you
mentioned before, France as
well, last year, as recent as
July, last year, President
Macron mentioned that we should
potentially consider that and
for the protection of public,
you know.
Adam Curry: So they are
massaging the British public
into accepting this. Yeah, we
should just shut it down. We
should just shut down social
media because it's dangerous.
You know, you're hurting
people's feelings. You're being
an annoyance. And then Elon Musk
uncloaks, and I'm starting to
see the Elon Musk that I always
thought he is a man who wants
great power and and I think that
he is moving a lot of people
think he's great. I don't think
he's great at all. I don't like
what he's doing. He is riling it
all up, and he's trying to be
Mr. Big man on campus. This is
going to end in tears for us
here in America too,
Unknown: 1000s of additional
police are flooding British
streets today after a week of
race riots across the country,
far right
John C Dvorak: mobs have
attacked people, mosques, even
immigration law offices. It's
the biggest challenge today for
UK Prime Minister Kiir Starmer,
who took office just a month
ago, already, he's in a standoff
with Elon Musk about this issue.
Is
Unknown: there any sense that
these riots are organized? Do
they appear to be organized in
any way
the violence is organized in
part by the English Defense
League or EDL? It's an anti
Islam group that was thought to
be defunct, but clearly is not.
They're tapping into existing
prejudices and amplifying them
online. Elon Musk himself is
playing a role in this how? So
what's he been saying?
So musk, when he bought Twitter,
he restored the accounts of some
far right figures who had been
banned, including one of the
leaders of the English Defense
League, a man who calls himself
Tommy Robinson. He's a fascist
who's been in and out of prison.
He and musk have been
interacting on X sharing
conspiracy theories. Mosque
wrote to his nearly 200 million
followers that a UK civil war is
inevitable, and he's also been
sort of taunting the prime
minister here, Keir Starmer,
online accusing Starmer of
having a two tier policing
system that treats white people
unfairly. The UK government is
pleading with Musk to use his
platform responsibly. Lives are
at stake here. He,
Adam Curry: I mean, he's, he's
really, he's trying to make this
about him, which is, I think is
troubling. Well,
John C Dvorak: I, I'm not buying
this. I'm I hate this. Oh, I
said it, but you're taking uh,
Kara swishers approach.
Adam Curry: You should be very
ashamed, very ashamed of what
you're saying here. Not at all
I'm not taking her approach.
That's, that's, you know what?
That's really insulting, because
I'm not done with my
presentation.
John C Dvorak: But if I I'm
taking it from the point I have
to be I have to interrupt at
some point. How, if the
presentation goes for another
hour and you, you kind of
reverse course, maybe I would
change my mind, but I, I'm not
completely into the idea that
Elon is doing much more than
just supporting his own
platform. Yes, because he's
younger, attack they're going to
pull the plug on his platform,
and probably Facebook too in the
UK, and he's not happy about
that, so he goes after the Prime
Minister when
Adam Curry: I say it's a social
media war. It's going to be
whose social media network runs
in which country, if we look at
Turkey, although the. Good
Morning Britain said, Oh, it's
like North Korea. No, it's like
turkey. Elon Musk has been very,
very friendly to Erdogan, and
Erdogan has allowed Twitter to
remain on this is what it's
about to remain available in
Turkey because Elon has censored
accounts that the Turkish
Government at Erdogan wants him
to censor those who weren't on
board with Erdogan is the other
social media company, Facebook,
digital
Unknown: fascism. That's what
Turkey's president Recep Tayyip
Erdogan is calling Instagram's
behavior after what he denounced
as censorship by the social
media platform and implemented a
nationwide ban since Friday,
while the government didn't
provide specific reasons,
multiple Turkish media platforms
attributed the ban to Instagram
removing images locals posted
paying homage to recently killed
Hamas leader, Ismail hanier,
these companies, which promote
all kinds of immorality,
prostitution and support for
terrorist organizations under
the bracket of freedom, have
openly declared war on the
glorious resistance of the
Palestinian people
and their heroic sons in
the virtual world,
an estimated 50 to 60 million of
Turkey's 85 million population
subscribe to Instagram, which
serves as a platform for a wide
range of commercial activities,
raising concerns for many
Turkish businesses. E commerce
experts predict the ban could be
costing local businesses around
52 million Euros per day. So
Adam Curry: only Facebook is
banned, and not Twitter. This is
the game that Elon's playing,
and it's fine. You can say, oh,
Elon's great, until he until
whatever interests him is not in
line with
John C Dvorak: you, what to what
interests his his
Unknown: being, profitability
being, no this. There's
John C Dvorak: money in this.
There's money into getting rid
of Facebook. This
Adam Curry: is HL hunt. This is,
this is, you know, HL Hunt had
600 radio stations. He didn't
care if he lost money on that.
Elon. Elon's businesses,
rockets. This is a power play.
He has a second piece from NPR
here. What
Unknown: is the UK Government
doing?
So, aside from deploying 1000s
more police, speeding up court
appearances for suspects. The
government has a special team
flagging social media posts that
incite violence, and I've
actually seen this anecdotally.
People here show me want to show
me something they saw on
Facebook or Tiktok, and then
it's been removed. People are
being arrested for hate speech
online. Hate crime laws are
being used, and the government
is looking at officially banning
groups like the EDL, just like
they do for terror groups
abroad.
Adam Curry: So I think his whole
play here is to get banned in
the UK for power here in the US.
You know, he's doing a very
special interview with Donald
Trump on on Monday, and Trump is
now even out there saying, Well,
you know, Elon Musk, he's, he's,
he's now, he's now, for me, so I
can't be against electronic
vehicles. What? What that?
Where'd
John C Dvorak: he do that?
Because the last time I heard
Trump's speech, he still had his
anti electric car thing. He
said, he said the Tesla was
great, but he doesn't like
electric cars. But so where,
where's that? He
Adam Curry: literally said, he
lit I'll tell you. You have a
clip. No, there's no clip. I
have a article. He says, I have
no choice but to back EVs,
because Elon is on my side. Now,
he literally, where did that?
Where did that appear? Then the
Guardian, The Guardian, it's
from one of his guardians. It's
one of his speeches. John, okay,
would you like me to stop the
show and find it for you?
Because
John C Dvorak: I'm telling you,
I've been listening to his
material, and he's still anti
EV.
Adam Curry: But my point is,
he's getting into bed with Elon
Musk, and I just don't think
that's a good idea.
John C Dvorak: I don't agree
with that second part of this.
That's what I was just Yes, he
is getting into bed with Elon
Musk, and
Adam Curry: that's not a good
idea, because remember, freedom
of speech, not freedom of reach.
You know, if you think that that
x is going to be any good as a
publishing platform to get
anywhere, that's where you're
mistaken. It's the Bozo filter,
that's what's going to be
implemented, and I just don't
like it. I don't care if I'm for
for an issue or not. It's that
is not a public that is not the
town square that he keeps
touting. And you know, so and
then he sued this garment
initiative, and they immediately
disbanded. But that doesn't mean
it doesn't mean advertisers are
coming back. They're not going
to advertise. He told them to f
off. It's obvious, so I'm just
saying people are all people are
all jacked up. Oh yeah, you know
it's good. I can post here. You
are among them. Oh, it's by the
way. Do you. Or
John C Dvorak: else am I gonna
post just a casual thought on a
thunder feta verse,
Adam Curry: write a sub stack?
Man, anything? Anything?
John C Dvorak: I do that too?
Yeah, well, I'm
Adam Curry: for that. I'm for
your own blog. You know me, you
know I it's just it's going to
be useless. People think they're
making a difference, and you're
not. Now, I'm not saying you can
make a difference a mastodon.
I'm against micro blogging in
general. You know, Elon is also
removing retweet and like
counts. Why is he doing that? Do
you think you only see how many?
How many impressions? Because
you can easily, easily
manipulate that. That's why no
one can see the impressions, but
you can go in and see who
retweeted and who likes. The
like counts. He's removing them.
This has been announced in your
favorite magazine, PC Magazine.
So all of this is to say that
social media is now a war
between who has the more power
in which country and for what
reason. And it's just not good.
It's not good for our people,
for the people listening
podcasts are still good. Now
your your sub stack, I think, is
still good.
John C Dvorak: What do you mean?
You think, Well, I
Adam Curry: have not
investigated if, if they limit
that in any way.
John C Dvorak: Well, they have
it so, I mean, medium, I know
they do for sure.
Unknown: Yeah, all
Adam Curry: of this stuff, all
of this centralized stuff that's
owned by someone else is just no
longer good as a place to to do,
you know, to publish, if you
think you're publishing
something you're not.
John C Dvorak: Anyway, we have a
rare Well, the reason, the
reason for using sub stack is
this more than just, you know,
you could, you could put it on
your own blog. Yeah, sub stack
will do promotions that you
can't do with your own blog.
They will, they have a bigger
they have a bigger base. They
have millions and millions of
people. And if they you produce
something that they feel obliged
to, because you say, of all of a
sudden, you've decided to
monetize. They want to make
money off of your monetization,
which is how they do it. They'll
blow out your stuff so you get
some more follow it, followers
and readers. I'm you can't do
that in an individual basis. You
need the leverage. Okay, fine,
Adam Curry: fine. My point is,
these social media sites are
highly manipulated for reasons
that you don't know and and your
what you think is happening,
what you think you're publishing
your opinion somehow matters. It
doesn't. It doesn't on on and a
lot of people truly believe it.
They're sitting four or five
some eight hours a day thinking
they're making a difference for
what you're seeing. What other
people are seeing is
manipulated. Is manipulated.
It's not good. It's not healthy
either. And I see you posting
way too much. I'm concerned
about it.
John C Dvorak: I'm retweeting
stuff that is, that's usually
funny stuff, legal tweet the
humorous stuff that will be, I
don't think I'm making a
difference. You're not deluded.
No, you
Adam Curry: aren't. You aren't.
Most people on social media,
particularly X, who believe that
that Elon Musk is the best thing
ever, and he's standing up for
our rights. They are wrong.
We're going to get hate speech
sanctions here you will. He is
forcing our own government here
into making posting on x, not
anonymous. You watch, put it in
the book. Now I'd like to move
to a counter narrative. Make a
note a counter narrative. One of
our producers sent in a boots on
the ground. He is a liberal from
the UK. His girlfriend, his
partner, organizes anti protests
against the rioters and pro
Palestine, and he is no agenda
listener. And I think it was
interesting what he had to say,
and the audio wasn't bad, so I
wanted to play it
Unknown: in the morning,
although it's about five o'clock
here. I hope this gets to you in
time. I listened to the last
show, and I've been listening
forgot about 13 years now, and
I'm 27 and very thankful for
everything that you guys have
done, you've made me who I am
today. My girlfriend is an
organizer with Socialist Workers
parties, the SWP, so a lot of
the Palestine demos, and
increasingly, now a lot of the
mobilization against the far
right. She's, you know, she's at
spearhead of a lot of that. She
went up to Liverpool and a few
other demos in the north of
England. And, you know,
honestly, the people that are
there, you have a few people
that are obviously concerned
about the immigration in this
country. I mean, I, you know,
I'm a family of immigrants,
Jamaican I'm a descendant of a
Jamaican immigrant family in the
40s, because it's. I got a,
yeah, these, these people, they
have, you know, some of them
valid concerns. But a lot of
those people that are there are,
like, football hooligans. She
saw people with swastikas on one
or two, people doing Nazi
salutes, people who, really, I
do feel, have hatred in their in
their hearts, you know. So I
think to claim that as a country
that you know that we're really
sick and tired of this maybe
isn't true. I am based in
London, in the metropolitan
elite, and, you know, I live in
a very multicultural area, but a
lot of these people that are
really up in arms and upset are
that way because of decades of,
you know, disinvestment in their
communities, not enough schools,
not enough hospitals, you know,
not any jobs because of how the
Tories have treated this
country, how, you know, how
labor fucked up a lot of things
as well. But I definitely don't
think that it's the fault of
immigrants that
Adam Curry: I just thought that
was an interesting take that,
and it's more like America than
I thought. Yeah, we don't like
the borders being open, but the
people in the North have just
been ignored by all political
parties. I would say that makes
sense. I don't know about the
swastikas and all that. I mean,
yeah, whatever. And calling
Tommy Robinson a not that he
did, but calling Tommy Robinson
a fascist is going a bit far. He
John C Dvorak: just Tommy
Robinson, according to some of
the people that I have over
there, is a part of an he's an
agent. He's an agent of the
government. He's an OP.
Adam Curry: That's what I've
heard too. Exactly
John C Dvorak: they bring him
out when they need him. Well,
Adam Curry: we have Sir Brian of
London, runs his blog and talks
him all the time. So maybe he
can let us know what what he
thinks. I'm sure he will
disagree that he's an OP, but I
can see why he would be seen
that way for sure. So this is,
there's something much bigger
happening here that is not
contained to the UK. In fact, I
had we had a dinner. It was kind
of funny. This caterer in revel
catering in in Fredericksburg,
the chef, Chef Max, he does
these kind of, like secretive,
invite only dinners, and it'll
do a, you know, a special menu.
And this there was a UT from
Austin, professor of
neuroscience and math, tenured,
although he's pretty young,
Tebow. He sat next to me, and he
said, Oh man, he's French. He
says, You have no idea France
zero freedom of speech. He says
if you step over the line, they
will have unions come after you.
They'll have trade
organizations. You can't say
anything, even as a professor,
he says it's outrageous. You
can't do anything in France, and
it's just, you know, it's like,
it's a big the all of Europe, he
says, is is completely lost. I
believe it.
John C Dvorak: Well, this,
everything that we've at least
brought up so far in this
analysis of yours, including the
Elon stuff, is all related to
freedom of speech. Yes, all of
it. And there has been, and in
this, this guy, walls has come
out and said, and he's against
freedom of speech. Yes,
Unknown: I think I have, uh, I
have that clip. Actually. Do you
have that clip?
John C Dvorak: I do not have
that clip. Um, let me see video
clip. I've seen it a number of
times. Yeah, I retweeted it.
Adam Curry: I didn't get it from
you. Okay, let me see. I
thought, Where was that? He
literally said you don't have
freedom of speech, or you can't
have freedom but maybe you don't
know you
John C Dvorak: shouldn't have
freedom of speech. Yeah, if you
are expressing an opinion that's
not proven to be true, Miss
Information. I'm sorry, which is
what freedom of speech is really
all about. Yeah, I
Adam Curry: don't, I don't have
that. I will get it for the next
show. Yes, but I'm seeing that.
We're moving towards that here.
You're gonna see this, this.
This is going to be, well,
John C Dvorak: we've been moving
toward this with the liberal
governments, yes, the
progressives in particular, yes,
the the CANS cancel culture is,
is an element of it, big time,
and it's been going on. It's at
the PC, the PC idea political
correctness. Political
Correctness is, which goes back.
The first time I heard the term
was in 1981 I believe. And it's
been, it's been in play for a
long time, and and political
correctness is against free
speech. This is not, not
something we discovered on this
show in the last 20 years. No,
not at all. This is at least
over. Or 40 years old as a
movement. And it's and it's like
it eats away. Now in England,
it's, I guess, because they,
they have their, I don't know
what, what's wrong with them.
They've just taken it right to
the right to the to the edge, to
the precipice, and then, and
like your friend from France
said it's already taken place in
most of Europe. So free speech
is is now you have to call it
quirky. It's unusual anywhere in
the world. It's kooky. It's
kooky,
Unknown: and it will not last.
John C Dvorak: What free speech?
You cannot control a population
if you have free speech. Oh,
well, you actually need hate
speech to get anywhere. Yeah,
well,
Adam Curry: I don't know if
we've, we've been noticing,
noticing this here, that hate
speech. You know, there's hate
speech. There's no actual law,
but that's, oh man, I can't
believe we don't have that clip
of
John C Dvorak: and funny, the
hate speech. Most of the hate
speech I hear is people hating
on Trump, but that does that's
okay. That's okay. So somehow
that's okay hating on Trump or
JD Vance and and the phony couch
anecdote is hating on him. For
some reason you can hate in one
direction, in one direction
Unknown: only, yes, yes.
Adam Curry: President Biden is
going to do a CBS interview.
You've got to wonder why I think
it comes out on Monday. So right
before the wait, when is the
that's not my when does the DNC
start?
John C Dvorak: See the seventh
of the ninth? I think of what
can't be the seventh? NO to NO.
That was yesterday.
Unknown: The ninth. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: no, it can't. No,
I look it up.
Adam Curry: There we go. Let's
see. Does anyone in the troll
room know these guys are no
good? It starts
John C Dvorak: the 19th the 19th
nine involved? Yeah, by the way,
it was Tony Blair, who was the
Prime Minister when that 2003
law was put in play. Yes,
Adam Curry: and it's amazing
that it really hasn't been used
until now. But they were very
smart. They put in social media
right there. Said, here's all
the things you can't do. This is
a teaser that was put out of
this CBS interview with
President Biden, a gaffe of epic
proportions. The US President
Joe Biden
Unknown: has said in an
interview with CBS News that
he's not confident at all there
will be a peaceful transfer of
power to Kamala Harris
if Donald Trump loses November's
election. Now it's his first
interview since he pulled out of
the race. They've released a
clip early ahead of the full
interview, which is to come at
the weekend.
Are you confident
that there will be a peaceful
transfer of power in january
2025
if Trump wins. No, I'm not
confident at all. I
mean, Trump loses, I'm not
confident.
Adam Curry: I mean, come on,
it's like the truth wants to
come out. Joe, it's obvious if
Trump wins, I agree, there's
going to be mayhem.
John C Dvorak: You know it now,
why? The question is weird.
Because weird, weird. I used it.
Yeah, you didn't say anything.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. I barely
had time. You caught yourself.
It's good.
John C Dvorak: The question is
odd, because what are they
talking about? A peaceful
transfer of power. Biden is the
one in office that has to be
transferring the power. Yeah. So
why would you ask him that? In
other words, Joe, are you going
to stay in power if whatever
happens at the election is going
to be a peaceful transfer of
power in 2025 that's pretty much
like a trick question. That's
Adam Curry: pretty much what he
said. I mean, but why? Why is he
even doing an interview? This
John C Dvorak: is, yeah, there's
something up with that you met
the thesis that he's going to,
like, throw his hat back in the
ring at the in the first day of
the convention, which he's
speaking of the first day. Is
funny. I don't think it's going
to happen. I don't think he's
got the nerve to do it, let
alone, I just don't think he has
the strength of will at this
point. Oh, I have the but I like
the idea.
Adam Curry: I have the waltz
clip for you. There it is,
Walt's clip.
Unknown: I think we need to push
back on this. There's, there's
no guarantee to free speech on
misinformation or hate speech,
and especially around our
democracy, I think we need
to you can't do that. You can't
do misinformation
John C Dvorak: and hate speech.
You put that in there, hate
speech in Yeah, hate speech is
protected by the First
Amendment. Hello, yeah. Well. So
you can't hate on anybody. They
can hate on Trump all they want,
but I guess you can't hate on
anybody. You can't say that guy
sucks, stinks, I can't wait.
Can't hate them. You can't hate
a baseball team that that keeps
losing. You can't hate a
football player that you don't
like. You can't hate your ex
wife. You can't hate on it.
What? What? Let me ask
Adam Curry: you a question.
Could you argue as a
constitutional lawyer, could you
argue that hate speech is, of
course, allowed, but that when
the Constitution was written?
Now this is one of those. You
know, they didn't have AR
fifteens back in the day,
John C Dvorak: but you could own
a canon. Hello.
Adam Curry: But can you argue
that, when that was written,
that you know the right to free
speech will not be infringed,
that that was never anonymous
back in the day, because you
didn't have uh, anonymity in
speech
John C Dvorak: you did if you
were a pamphleteer. Okay? All
right, there you go. Well,
that's bull crap. Okay. In fact,
if you look back in the in the
era in the 1800s the amount of
hate speech back in the day when
it came to political was great,
he's great, was off the rails
compared to what we're doing.
Yeah, it's been tamped down
Adam Curry: before we take a
break. This came out on Sunday,
when we were doing the show.
This interview with with your
guy, Byron Donalds, yes. George
Stephanopoulos, yeah. Did
Unknown: you see this?
John C Dvorak: I did. I think it
was. I think Stephanopoulos,
personally, even though the
media thinks, Oh, what a great
job of taking down by No, I
think he made a fool out of
himself just bringing
Unknown: Republican congressman
and Trump ally Byron Donald
Congressman. Thank you for
joining us this morning. Why is
former President Trump question
with Vice President's racial
identity?
Well, first George in Chicago,
he was responding to a question
from I believe Rachel Scott,
like, this is really a phony
controversy. I don't really
care. Most people don't. But if
we're going to be accurate, when
Kamala Harris went into the
United States Senate, it was AP
that says she was the first
Indian American United States
Senator. It was actually played
up a lot when she came into the
Senate. Now she's running
nationally. Obviously, the
campaign has shifted. They're
talking much more about about
her father's heritage and her
black identity. But yes, he did
mention it in Chicago in
response to a question from
Rachel Scott,
and you just repeated the slur
again. If it doesn't matter, why
you keep questioning
Adam Curry: slur, slur.
John C Dvorak: Being an Indian,
American Indian heritage, is a
slur? Is that? What I think
monopolist is saying,
Adam Curry: and he couldn't get
off of it. He could not let it
get stuck on it.
Unknown: He just repeated the
slur again. If it doesn't
matter, why do you all keep
questioning her identity? She's
always identified as a black
woman. She is biracial. She has
Jamaican father and Indian
mother. She's always identified
as both. Why are you questioning
that?
Well, George, first of all, this
is something that's actually a
conversation throughout social
media. Right now, there are a
lot of people who are trying to
figure this out, but again,
that's a side issue, not the
main issue. The main issue, Sir,
one second, you just did it. You
just did it again.
Adam Curry: What did he do? I
can't figure out. What is George
Stephanopoulos hearing that
we're not hearing he just
John C Dvorak: same way when I
heard this clip of the
Unknown: United States. Why? Why
do you, why do you insist on
questioning her racial identity?
You want me to talk I want you
to answer my question, yelling
at George. George, now that
you're done yelling at me, let
me answer. Ooh,
Adam Curry: yeah, George is
going to yell at the black man.
There's got to be a law against
that. I
Unknown: know you guys like to
glom on to this that he talks
about in jest or in a serious
manner for about a minute or so.
But what you do not cover is the
litany of failures of Kamala
Harris. That's what covering
George.
So questioning somebody's racial
identity, if you're a couple a
couple minutes, is okay,
George, I'm tell you, again, he
brought it up. A P is the one
that wrote the headline when she
first came in to the United
States Senate, didn't talk about
her being black, talked about
her being the first Indian
American senator. AP, brought
that up. I mean, George, we
could have this conversation for
the entire segment, but none of
this matters to the American
people. If it
doesn't matter, I don't
understand why you keep on
repeating it, why the President
keeps on repeating it. Why those
introducing the President? Yes,
George, actually,
I'm not the one who keeps
repeating it. George, you're the
one that's bringing it up. Now
that's you've done interesting.
You've done it.
You've done it three times,
every single answer you gave me.
Now let me finish, sir, every
single answer you gave he
repeated.
George, that's why I'm pushing
back on you. Now, George, you
right, and the question three
times I responded, but and every
single time you repeat the slur,
that is exactly my point. You
simply can't say that it's
wrong. George,
so then what you're saying? So
then what? And I want to get off
this topic, because it's not the
only thing that's going on. But
George, now you're saying that
AP is the one that slurred
Kamala Harris, because those are
the facts. You can go to the
internet and look at the clips,
George, if you want to. Two or
we can talk about this now. I
prefer to talk about the future
of our country.
Adam Curry: It's amazing. What's
amazing is, here's this tiny
white guy arguing with a black
guy about a woman who claims
she's black when, and we should
define black just say a DOS or
foundational black, or whatever.
But, you know, but not, not what
he's doing. It's, it's, this is
insanity on the airwaves.
Unknown: AP did not say that
Kamala Harris is not black. She
is biracial. She is Indian, she
is black. You continue to repeat
the fact that you continue to
repeat the slur, I don't
understand why you and the
President, it's clear you're not
going to say that. It's wrong,
and you've now established that
for our audience. Trump also
said at the convention that he
would already January 6,
rioters, I
look for themselves. Let's move
on.
I've already said that. Go
ahead, everybody. Let's
move on. There we go. Go
on and repeat the slurs again.
He
Adam Curry: repeats the didn't
do anything. This is this is
people, humanity. Sanity is
mental illness, by the way, I
made a big boo boo on the last
show explaining the one drop
rule. I said it exactly the
wrong way around the one drop
rule. I said, if you have one
drop of whiteness, you're not
black. It was exactly the other
way around the one drop rule. I
John C Dvorak: thought you said
it right. No, it was the other
way, which is when I made the
reference to the show to do to
the stage play, Show Boat. Yes,
I switched. Punch line was that,
you know, there was a one drop
of black blood. Yes, I
Adam Curry: I, but I explained
it the wrong way. I went back.
Oh, I
John C Dvorak: didn't hear you.
I've obviously zoned out. So
Adam Curry: why not? I'll just
explain it properly. The one
drop rule was invented to
declare that, legally, a person
was not white as long as they
had one drop of black blood in
them. That's that's the correct
way. That was part of the Jim
Crow laws, etc.
John C Dvorak: So anyway, I'm
still fascinated by this
Stephanopoulos. It's dead that
should be taken off the air.
It's, it's, what is this slur?
What was the slur? You're not
black, so that's a slur. Yes,
wait, so being, not being black
is a slur. Now, if, yeah,
Adam Curry: if you say you're
not black, like, well, what
Byron should have said is, well,
was it a slur? Then, when Joe
Biden said, If you don't fight
for me, you aim, you don't vote
for me, you ain't black, that
would have been a real slur.
Then, which I think it actually
was
John C Dvorak: Byron. I'm sure I
like this guy a lot. I think
he's terrific, but I think he
was flat footed, because this
was out of the blue. It was you
weren't prepared for this kind
of insanity. If you were, you
would have had a million what,
you know, comebacks, but he
didn't have any. He was just
trying to push the guy away.
Yeah, it was weird, like a
madman coming at you. Very
Adam Curry: weird. Well, with
that, I would like to thank you
for your courage and say in the
morning to you, the man who put
the C in the Facebook crime, say
hello to my friend on the other
end. He won the only Mr. John
John C Dvorak: C Devorah show's
running too long in the morning
to you. Mr. Adam curry,
tomorrow, ships, sea, boots on
ground, in the air, sub store
Davis, nights out there.
Adam Curry: Let's count those.
What? Oh, we're late. It's my
fault. We're late. We're late.
We're 1917,
Unknown: it's down. Trolls are
down,
Adam Curry: but there's still
almost 2000 trolls, which I
always find amazing, 2000 trolls
listening live, which you can do
at troll room.io. It's a brand
new website. You can listen to
the live stream 24/7 you control
along. You can log in, you can
post stuff, you can you don't
have to log in, and it's all
pretty much anonymous. I mean,
it's one of the last places
podcasts and troll rooms, that's
all. The only place you can
still be a troll, say whatever
you want. All freedom of speech
allowed here, as far as I know I
can't, I can't even kick anybody
off anymore. I don't have the
power. No, the power has been
removed for me. Why? I don't
know. I used to be able to just
kick someone off and then, you
know, and then they can come
back. You know, I wouldn't ban
anybody, but, you know, I like
kick them off. Just funny. I
don't know. I have to talk to
void zero, maybe, uh, maybe you
overstep my powers. It's been
removed. Maybe I'm not doing it
right, isn't it? Slash kick. And
then you do the name. I
John C Dvorak: don't know. I
don't use that thing.
Adam Curry: You should, I know?
You pop in from time to time.
You check out. You've said it on
the last show you've been in
there,
John C Dvorak: check I have been
in there, but it was usually
during somebody else's show.
Adam Curry: Yes, well, that
makes sense. Darren, show,
probably, you're probably in
there.
John C Dvorak: Oh yeah, Darren,
I'm big fan. You can also check
out this will play enough AC,
DC, that's the way I see it. You
Adam Curry: can also check out
the troll room by using a modern
podcast app. There's many that
you can use. The cool. Thing
about is you get an alert when
we go live, so you get the bat
signal in your app, and then you
can listen live. None of the
legacy apps can do this. And as
as you see hate speech, maybe
not laws, but hate speech
actions being taken. It happens
three or four times a day.
There's a podcast kicked off of
Apple or off of, uh, Spotify.
So, you know, do with it what
you want, but if you like your
podcast that you listen to, no
matter what they say, the modern
podcast apps are the way to go.
It's one of the last places it
still can be done that and your
own blog and maybe sub stack.
Um, even though Elon defeated
the the Garm on what, let me see
what
John C Dvorak: Mark, I praise
him for that. Mark separation
was a scam, yeah, but the
American
Adam Curry: Federation of
Advertisers still there. They're
not they haven't gone anywhere.
They just disbanded Garm. He's
not going to get any advertising
that's obvious. Why would he you
know, advertisers don't want
controversy. That's why we never
What are you eating
John C Dvorak: a lozenge? Huh?
That's why we
Adam Curry: never took
advertising. We knew that it
would just result in meetings
and annoyances, which is
technically illegal in the UK.
You can't annoy me with your
meeting advertiser. So we knew
wouldn't work. So we said, You
know what, why don't we just go
for a value for value model. We
put it out on even Patreon.
People think, oh, Patreon is
value for value. No, it isn't.
Because if you do something
somewhere else, not even on your
own podcast, and Patreon hears
about it, they will kick you
off. They will kick you off, and
sometimes even hold on to your
money, which is horrible, yeah?
Well, that's illegal, yeah?
Well, they can give you 90 days
or something. There's something
weird that they can do if they
have your money. It's not you
can't fight it. It's hard to
fight the man in that way. So we
decided, Hey, give us time,
talent, treasure, anything that
adds up to something that helps
the show. And of course, yeah,
John C Dvorak: anything that's
about 1/10 of what we would have
made if we were commercial.
Adam Curry: Well, yeah, that's
true. That's true. We can always
go commercial. I mean, podcast
one wants us.
Unknown: We could probably make
more. I mean, we could make
more.
John C Dvorak: I think we can
make more by syndicating on the
TV. I think that idea is
something worth well, I see Mimi
insisted that we follow up.
Well, I
Adam Curry: sent you a whole
thing about it. He didn't even
respond to me.
John C Dvorak: I didn't see it.
No,
Adam Curry: I respond because
I'm I contacted the former
Disney guy about this, who I
thought would be the perfect
guy. Yeah, what did he say? He
hasn't gotten
John C Dvorak: back to me. Yes,
thanks, no, but he set me up. He
Adam Curry: used to do the, all
the deals for Disney. He would
do all the cable deals and, you
know, and we happen to know that
the prices that you get per
household, what? But we can't
talk, yeah, no,
John C Dvorak: we didn't. Yeah,
oh
Adam Curry: yeah, no,
John C Dvorak: the price got a
spreadsheet that has all the
money. And it's like,
outrageous,
Adam Curry: I mean, Turner,
classic movies, what do they get
per house? Buck and a half, 150
now, MTV gets a buck more than a
buck. There's some things like
that. Are, you know, it goes
down only three cents. Yeah, I
would say about we could
probably get about 30 cents per
subscriber. And I got a lot of
people saying they would be more
than willing to hike their
skirts to get clearances on
these big cable cable outfits.
So we've got the we've got the
bribes and Willie and I'll turn
on my camera when you
John C Dvorak: know what the
interesting thing is, is that
for people, by the way, the guy,
we got an anonymous spreadsheet
from somebody in the business,
and the one that's the one
that's really stands out, like a
sore thumb, is ESPN, oh, isn't
Adam Curry: it like, seven bucks
or something crazy, $10 ahead?
Yeah, and, and whether you have
it or not, I think,
John C Dvorak: no, I think you
have to have it. And the funny
thing is, I think, is what's
amusing to people who watch
ESPN, because people that on
ESPN every, every so often, moan
about being on ESPN two. ESPN
gets 10 bucks a head. And I
think ESPN two is like two or
three, $3 or less. It's like,
oh, okay, it's the ESPN. Well,
hold on, let
Adam Curry: me, let me bring up
the spreadsheet for a second
this, this will blow people's
mind. So just so you know, the
way it works is these cable
company pays the networks. So
let's see, bravo, carriage,
yeah, for carriage. So bravo. 58
cents per household, bravo,
bravo. That's nothing the
cooking channel. 27 cents. You
really think we could do 33
John C Dvorak: but we can do at
least 27 Yeah.
Adam Curry: Well, let me say
what's. Nickelodeon gets a buck
89 so all you need is a million
people. We're swimming in dough.
We could, we could be, be given
every we could give the trolls
money back. I know you don't
like that idea, but I'm just
saying, I'm just saying, well,
John C Dvorak: if they hike
their skirt, yeah, by the way,
only the, only the girls, not
the men. If you hike your skirt,
you're hiking your skirt, you're
Adam Curry: in here. Oprah.
Oprah makes 38 the Oprah own.
Oprah makes 3838 nobody watches
own. No, of course. Magnolia, 27
cents.
John C Dvorak: Nobody watches
these. These networks. Go to
some of the ones they watch.
Look at it. Look at it. Look up.
ESPN. ESPN,
Adam Curry: ESP what? ESPN has
multiple channels, which is kind
of the way to go. I can tell so
ESPN HD, $10.35 ESPN to $1.97
and then ESPN news, no one cares
about that. That's seven and a
half cents. ESPN and you, what
is that?
John C Dvorak: What is you? I
used to know what that is, but I
don't, I don't remember
Adam Curry: that's, uh, 29 see,
the Food Network gets 65 cents.
So and, you know, and my whole
thinking of when we can network,
yeah, 65 cents is not Kimber.
With this idea is that
everyone's cutting the cutting
cable. You know, people are
running away. They're going to
the streamers. Now, I don't
think that cable, I mean, cable,
will be around for a long time,
but it's diminishing decades.
And if we say, Hey, we're the
we're the we're the hit podcast
guys, we can do that's I sent
you V for VTV. That's what I
sent you. You probably didn't
John C Dvorak: like it. No, I
thought it was a nice it has a
nice ring to it. V
Adam Curry: for vtv.com, yeah,
be perfect, yeah,
John C Dvorak: we'll talk about
this more. Okay, because it's an
eye opener. It
Adam Curry: is an eye opener.
John C Dvorak: And what's funny
about it, I want to I mentioned
I sent a note back to the guy
with this comment, which is, I
remember the early days, the
early days the cable was never
called cable. It was called CC.
Yes,
Adam Curry: yes, indeed. I
John C Dvorak: remember
community something television,
and people would set up these
systems, and they would, they
would get, they would, in other
words, if you're like a look,
you have three local stations
and you wanted, but you got to
fringe areas where nobody, even
with an antenna, could pick it
up. You'd put up a cable system
up there, or CCTV, and you play
your local stations up there in
the middle of nowhere, and
that's the stations would pay
the cable operators, yeah, for
the for the extra coverage,
because now they had more reach.
And so it was, they'd get to
move their sell more ads and so
that. So in I don't know what
year it changed, but at some
point it flipped, yeah, and I
think it was the beginning with
HBO. HBO, who does? HBO said,
you know, we're not going to be
broadcasting anything, but use a
premium, and you could probably
lure more people into your
system if you have our play our
movies, and you just have to
give us a little bit of money. I
was HBO on that list, by the
way, on the
Adam Curry: it's $10 but that
was direct billing, so that you
have to pay extra. Yeah,
different. But the question so I
think we can Pro, I can probably
convince Joe we'll have to give
him millions. But, you know,
it's all right, it'll be Joe.
You
John C Dvorak: get some piece of
the action, stock, yeah, stock
Adam Curry: options, warrants.
We'll
John C Dvorak: give them
warrants. We'll give them stock.
We'll give him a
Adam Curry: straight he'll want
money. We have to pay him money.
He
John C Dvorak: might like stock,
he doesn't need. We'll give
extra money. He's not
Adam Curry: going to do it
unless we give him money. Yeah,
you got to give him money. But,
you know, we who else do you
want on the show? I mean, do you
want to judge Knapp?
John C Dvorak: I don't know who
judge Knapp is Napolitano. Oh,
maybe. Why not? Yeah, how
Adam Curry: about Brett
Weinstein
John C Dvorak: and Heather? How
you're stretching it? They
Adam Curry: can do overnights.
There's
John C Dvorak: a lot of the
selection is Hi, I'm Heather
Weinstein,
Adam Curry: welcome to our
welcome to V for VT overnight.
Kevin the overnights. Tim pool,
I think we said the pool boy on
he would rake him in. He would
be right too, and then, But you
promised me we're gonna do we're
gonna go video so we can be on
this too. We have to be on this.
I think
John C Dvorak: we have to have,
we have to have a version on
there's an hour show.
Adam Curry: Oh, that sounds like
extra work. I didn't sign up for
that.
John C Dvorak: It could be part
of the other show. We
Adam Curry: should just do this
show. Just do it. Just go live
with camera. Just the camera.
You can wear a mask. Think of
the money, John, think of the
money. Until that time, we are
John C Dvorak: very grateful.
Here's the other problem, we
can't chew up like, what was our
last show time three and a half
hours.
Adam Curry: We can. People love
that stuff. What do you mean? We
can't chew that up?
John C Dvorak: Yak, yak, yak.
For three and a half. Hours.
Okay, maybe, yeah, but, but the
idea overall is solid. Think of
them, and it doesn't get us off
the air, because people always
worry about our our crazy ideas
making us quit this way, we
can't quit.
Adam Curry: That's right, when
that we can't quit because it'll
just be too good. They'll be too
good. In the meantime,
John C Dvorak: we plausible
anybody with ideas. We're open.
Adam Curry: We're open for
business,
John C Dvorak: idea business. I
did get a thing today from one
guy who's been in in the video
business. Hey,
Adam Curry: all we need to do is
get on one cable system and
we're good to go. I mean, what
do we really need? We got
bumpers. We have people creating
art. We can have, I mean, we we
have an entire and we can pay
people. Hey, thanks, boom,
here's some money. Think about
it. Don't get carried away.
Okay, I'm all jacked,
John C Dvorak: because the thing
is, about this volunteerism that
we have is a big deal. There it
is. No, I'm saying that because
I would some years ago. I give
you this story, yeah,
Adam Curry: but if we're raking
in dough, then people want a
piece
John C Dvorak: of the gonna be
raking in that making a little
more we're making, we're
Unknown: gonna give him stock,
stock, stock,
John C Dvorak: yes, definitely.
Stock, yeah, stock, okay, but no
commercials. I don't want it
incorporation, yeah, no. But a
bunch of shares out there and
give people stock. And then when
it when somebody buys us,
everybody will clean up. Yeah,
Unknown: now you're talking
Adam Curry: all right. In the
meantime, we're only going to
thank our artists because we do
love them, and they do great
work for us, and they upload
every single show during the
live broadcast to no agenda, Art
generator.com, and we chose
Francisco scaramangas artwork
for Episode 1683, the rainbow of
rockets. It was the title. There
was some dissent amongst the
ranks. People thought that
shrimp deal would have been a
better, a better title. Now that
I think about it might have been
funny one of those shrimp deals.
It was fine. Yeah. And we chose
Joe Biden, President. Joe Biden,
although we were not happy with
scaramongers, rendering of Biden
wasn't, wasn't a great look, but
you could tell it was him, and
he was on the airplane looking
for the bathroom. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it was good. It's
funny. It's like, you know, it
Adam Curry: was funny. Scara,
manga, of course, Dutch Master,
they always reign supreme. Was
there anything else that we can
Well, there were a lot of
John C Dvorak: rain like that
Apple guy with the Macintosh on
his head talking to the girl.
Yeah, he
Adam Curry: used that for the
newsletter.
John C Dvorak: I did because I
was, it was a good piece.
Adam Curry: I didn't like it as
much as Biden. No, he
John C Dvorak: didn't like it at
all. Let's face it, you tried to
call in a chit, which is either
it was a Matthew drop go piece,
and it was very funny. It was
AI, Hello, yeah,
Adam Curry: I kind of like
John C Dvorak: comics piece.
Look like it might have been
hand done, yeah? It might be, I
don't think so, but it might be,
well, he's an artist. He
actually can crank stuff out.
But he also likes to use, he
likes to use AI a lot. Yeah, so
Adam Curry: yeah for cheesecake
stuff, dirty Jersey whore. Did I
want my no agenda? And I want my
MTV logo? Nestworks also did a
cut the cable. A lot of people
picked up on the idea of our own
cable channel with some of the
artwork. Was there anything
else? I don't think anything
else came close. We had the HHI
index by nestworks with Kamala
coconut falling over with her
legs in the air. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I think the show
itself didn't lend itself to no
great art ideas like the
chemicals crackers in the
previous episode, and I think
today's show is going to be the
same. I can
Adam Curry: tell you right now
that everything I see artwork
wise is not turning me on for
today's show.
John C Dvorak: There's one piece
I think is acceptable well. And
by the way, the folksy thing.
This picture of Camelot, and
this is from America. Got
American Gothic. It's an old
painting with the guy and his
wife. Who's this guy? She's
standing next to, hey, drop, go.
What is that? Who is that
person? Yeah,
Unknown: yeah.
John C Dvorak: I mean, the
camera on the left, the left one
looks, does look like camel, but
this guy looks like some I don't
know what that so accountant
from Price Waterhouse. It
doesn't look like anything.
Thank
Adam Curry: you to our artists.
Thank you. Francisco Scara
manga. We appreciate the work
that all of our artists do, and
we always look forward to it.
It's a great way to end the
show. And I would say there's
still opportunities for anybody
who wants to come in and swoop
now we want to thank our
executive and Associate
Executive producers. We love all
the producers who support us
financially with their treasure.
It's incredibly important to
keep the show going. We don't
have a cable network yet.
Anybody who sends any amount.
That's how value for value
works. We can't look at your
pocketbook, so you may be giving
up $5 might be a lot for you. We
appreciate that. We love you
just as. Much as someone who has
a lot of money and can become an
executive producer, anybody, by
the way, over time, can become a
night or a day and receive one
of those coveted night rings. We
have title changes and nights
today, so that's good, and we
kick it off with our Associate
Executive Producers $200 above.
We read your note, and you get a
credit that is good as an
official show business credit.
You can even open an IMDB with
it, and $300 above, you're an
executive producer, and we read
your note as well, and we kick
it off with Sir Shu of the six
strings from Franklin,
Tennessee, who doesn't know, as
a guitar player for Mercy Me,
that's one of my favorite bands.
Hello, gents, he says, hoping
this donation will help put the
sad puppy back in its kennel.
Yes, the sad puppy has been out
and roaming around. I neglected
to cover the fees on my last two
day, donations of 333, dot 33 so
because I hate math, I decided
to round up enough to cover all
of them and not worry about it.
The dot 88 because he gave us
$400.88 is, of course, to
celebrate JCD and the Mrs.
Anniversary in the newsletter,
John suggested, the shows are
getting too long and you should
just talk faster. How is that
different than listening at two
times speed? Seems like a mixed
message. No jingles, no karma.
Just keep the greatness coming.
That's Mike, aka sir Shu of the
six strings, and he says, iPhone
to blame for all the typos.
Well, I didn't see any typos.
Thank you, brother. Appreciate
it.
John C Dvorak: Blaming the
iPhone. Blame the iPhone, sir.
Chris and Walnut Creek over here
with $350.94 says, Thank you for
your courage and the excellent
media deconstruction. Here's
what you John and Mimi, a happy
36th by the way, you know, if
you notice I said it was, I have
to go inside stuff here, that's
okay. So I sent the newsletter
to Adam to have him fix it, you
know, or check for typos. Did I
do something weird?
Adam Curry: They do something
weird? No, no.
John C Dvorak: I left out the
anniversary stuff,
Adam Curry: I know you did, and
I was so happy when I saw it,
because Tina said, Oh, it's, uh,
John and Mimi's anniversary. I'm
like, Oh, crap, he didn't put it
the newsletter. Then I saw the
newsletter come in, I was happy
again.
John C Dvorak: What happened
was, I was talking to Mimi
because she's coming down. Hey,
by the way, I've done the
newsletter the night before. I
said, Oh, what an idiot, because
that's what I don't need, right?
We've dropped the ball on so we
me, yeah, dropped the ball on so
many of these things. Yeah. It's
like, oh my God, because it's on
the day too. Today is the day
eight, eight. Just without
sending another copy to you, I
just filled, put it in there,
and I dropped something from the
that section well,
Adam Curry: but leave it to the
girls. Remember minute. Leave it
to the girls to remember, save
the show. They had did it did
save the show.
John C Dvorak: Anyway, Sir Chris
continues, the lovely Dame
Kristen and I are celebrating
our 26th anniversary today as
well. Had a fight. Beautiful.
She's my soul mate, best friend,
and I feel lucky to have her by
my side every day. Love you,
bird. All the best sir. Chris of
Carmel by the seas, although
he's in Carmel, but he's got
Walnut Creek on his account.
Okay, sir.

interesting sport you may not

blind. Did you see that? Did you

out to my sister Mary for
keeping it real from the boogie

your service to the community.
The information on this show
helps us understand the bigger
picture and often reveals the
plot. We're huge fans of the
mofac show as well. Can't wait
for the next chapter. In
closing, I'd like to note that
the previous jobs karma has been
working, and I'd like to request
another jobs karma from my
family's company e Gil rebar,

right pronunciation, whatever
it's up there in BC they have a
great garden, and that's a great
place for an arborist. It's very

you're now Mimi. There you go.
Many congratulations on your

but it was really our chick

there you go. Chuck magnet, hey,
Chuck. I think you're a chuck

Love it. Thank you for all you
guys do. I've been listening
since show 211 I know that my
life is better for you for your
laid back approach of delivering
the news that we're all gonna
die and there's nothing we can
do about it. That's pretty much
the message. Having been a
hardcore right wing talk guy
prior to discovering no agenda,
look at that. I'm sure I'd be a
hateful, stressed out jackass,
without your knowledge, in my
life. This is a successful note,
John, this is right here. Is why
we do it. Happy anniversary,
John, it's my wife and I's
anniversary as well. 8808. We
love the idea that eights bring
prosperity, and for the most
part, we've been very blessed in
life. While I can't get my
smoking hot wife to listen on
her own, she's happy to listen
when riding with me in the car.
And that's more than enough for
me. I've attached my accounting
and have obtained the status of
Viscount. Congratulations. I'd

Tobias and Baron of chiefs
kingdom. To Sir Brian Tobias and
Viscount of chiefs kingdom,
John, do you think the chiefs
will be able to three peat this

three peat in the NFL that I

answer. Thanks. He says, and

going on. There's a lot of
noise. Just in time for the
Democratic National Convention.
What's
Adam Curry: this noise in the
background? Also, someone
vacuuming.
John C Dvorak: What that noise
you're hearing? Yeah, garbage
truck,
Adam Curry: the street. All
right, garbage truck. I
John C Dvorak: don't know why
they have to make so much noise,
or why
Adam Curry: they have to do it
on Thursday, every
John C Dvorak: Thursday. Okay, I
don't know what that usually
earlier than this. I don't know
what that truck's doing.
Adam Curry: Yeah, it sounds like
a drone circling your house, by
the way.
John C Dvorak: This has to do
with the new Hamas guy that took
over. And I have, uh, two clips,
and then an analysis with four
more clips. Okay, so you have
you'll know a lot when you're
done here. Let's start with the
new Hamas guy. Is the old Hamas
guy. All right, turning
Unknown: our attention now to
the Middle East, Hamas has the
name as its new political
leader, and Turkey is seeking to
join South Africa's lawsuit
against Israel and today's final
Ji has the latest updates and
what they mean for the region.
Turkey has requested to join
South Africa's lawsuit against
Israel in the International
Court of Justice. The lawsuit
accuses Israel of genocide of
Palestinians in Gaza. Turkey is
the latest nation seeking to
join the lawsuit behind Spain,
Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua,
Libya and Palestinian officials,
it is now waiting for the
court's approval. Turkey's
leadership has been an outspoken
critic against Israel's war in
Gaza, meanwhile, reactions to
Yahya Sen's appointment as the
new Hamas today continue on
Wednesday. White House National
Security Adviser John Kirby
said, quote, The man is a
terrorist. He has an awful lot
of blood on his hands. His
daughter is the architect of the
seventh of October attacks in
Israel, and some of that blood
on his hands is American blood.
A spokesperson for the State
Department said, sewer has
always called the shots for
Hamas, even before the death of
former leader Ismail Hania.
Ultimately, it was cinwar that
had the final decision making
authority, as we could see
throughout these negotiations on
whether to accept a ceasefire or
not. So yes, cinwar Absolutely
ought to be brought to justice.
We believe that for the his
significant acts of terrorism,
and we also think he ought to
accept the ceasefire deal. All
right,
Adam Curry: so, just so I
understand, we're talking about
the guy that's replacing the guy
that got blowed up in Iran,
right? Yes, okay, all right,
yeah, yeah. His name, yeah,
yeah, is the new guy, yeah.
John C Dvorak: This is part two
of that, because we should get
too misspelled as y, w, o, y,
that's okay. I got you. I
Adam Curry: got you, bro.
Unknown: The Israeli military's
chief of staff called sinwar A
murderer and said that Israel is
ready to hurt its attackers. The
new Hamas leader is at the top
of Israel's kill list. Some Gaza
residents are also disheartened
by the news. News. Speaking to
CNN, they say there has been too
much death and they just want
the war to end. Others rejoiced
at the news. In Yemen,
university students rallied in
support of sinwar Iran and the
Hezbollah terrorist group
congratulated Hamas and sinwar
Experts say sinwar is more
extreme than his predecessor,
and his appointment could point
Hamas to a more hard line
stance. Hey,
Adam Curry: why does this is NTD
I believe. Why do they not say
Turkey a? They not all in on
that. They don't like saying
Turkey a.
John C Dvorak: That's a good
point.
Adam Curry: I'm just kind of
missing it.
John C Dvorak: I think a harsh
note would be in order. Yes, you
Adam Curry: should send them
one. All right, so that's
John C Dvorak: now we got this
guy that I know he's worse. This
guy's worse. He's worse, but
he's been running it all along.
That's the joke. So how's he
worse? I see? So the other point
is, is that these guys are
pretty, pretty blatant about no
trials. We kill him.
Adam Curry: We us. Our guys,
dead man, dead man, walking the
John C Dvorak: theme. Now we
have an analysis that I do. One
of the reasons like NTDs,
because they really have good
and different analysts. Yeah, we
come on,
Adam Curry: put them on a new
cable channel.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they have
their own they've got their own
cable channel.
Adam Curry: How much money do
they make per household?
John C Dvorak: That's a good
question. You wonder if it's
even, oh, no, they actually,
they don't do cable. They do
over the air, uh, losers,
seconds. They don't know. Do
that too, by the way,
Adam Curry: they don't have one
of our deals. Man, they don't
get it. Yeah, okay, all right.
Most
John C Dvorak: favorite nations
thing is this stupid rule about
cable doesn't let you do a lot
of stuff. So here's New Hamas
guy analysis. One
Unknown: earlier, we spoke with
Gabriel narona, a former State
Department adviser on Iran,
about Hamas decision to name,
yeah, send more as its new
political leader. Corona is also
the executive director of
Polaris national security and a
fellow at the Jewish Institute
for National Security of
America. Now, yeah, yes, in war
was the architect of the October
7 terror attack on Israel. What
does Hamas selecting him as the
new leader, political leader
mean for the ongoing ceasefire
negotiations? Well,
this is a consolidation of power
within Hamas into sinwar, he was
always the key decision maker
for these ceasefires, for the
prisoner exchange deals, and so
instead of having Hania
negotiate them and try to relay
messages from sinwar, now it's
all concentrated in one person
that is good in one sense, And
that it actually simplifies the
decision making and negotiating
process. It also means that if
and when I think cinema gets
killed by Israel, it's going to
make it a lot more difficult for
Hamas to move on. They are again
putting all the power in one
place. This isn't going to
change too much, I think, in
terms of whether their policy
changes, how they approach
things is different. It's just
gonna make things a lot harder.
You have one person trying to do
two jobs, if not more. Now, did
Adam Curry: we know that Yaya
was the guy behind October 7?
Did we know that already?
John C Dvorak: I don't know that
we did, and I don't get this
thing or when they kill him, and
it's so cavalier, by the way,
yeah, yeah,
Adam Curry: if and when we kill
him. I mean, Israel, if and when
we kill him. This is we're
murderers, man, this is no good.
I don't like this.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I find it.
I found it distressing. I
Adam Curry: mean, at least Trump
goes, I'm gonna kill him. I take
him out, gonna kill him like a
dog. That would be funnier. But,
if and when we kill him, you
know, come on, spice it up,
people
John C Dvorak: so little to
Cavaliers, here we go. Part two
Unknown: and some more. Is
believed to be in the tunnels of
Gaza, surrounded by hostages.
This factor into the ongoing
negotiations.
Well, those hostages are
John C Dvorak: good for a
second, whatever happened, you
remember this? Whatever happened
to they're gonna flood the
tunnels. Yeah, that was whatever
happened to that idea.
Adam Curry: Well, I got shot
down for some reason. They were
waiting for flood the tunnels.
They're waiting for you. Well, I
think the international human
rights groups came in and said,
Hey, man, that's kind of that's
like rats. That's no good.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Well, this,
this idea we're gonna kill this
guy, which without London, you
know, without a trial or
anything. No, just
Adam Curry: kill him. Kill him.
Unknown: Well, those hostages
are policy, that he's not going
to get taken out by Israel
tomorrow. But at the same, you
know, it's speculated that
Israel knows exactly where he
is, or generally where he is,
but again, that it's too
difficult to try to do a rescue
operation, because most people
would assume the hostages would
be booby trapped. So again,
Israel's force to me, wait a
minute.
Adam Curry: This is the first
I'm hearing of the hostages
being booby trapped. I.
John C Dvorak: This is mansion,
being a hostage, and you got,
you'd like a stick of dynamite
up your butt.
Adam Curry: Well, this is not
good, rather insensitive way to
put it. But yes, well,
John C Dvorak: it will be joy.
Okay, you got a bunch of
dynamite strapped around your
chest. Yeah? Wow, that's the
windows go off your you know,
your head flies up. Yeah, pop,
pop, we talked about that. But
this is
Adam Curry: this is all this is
new. I've never heard of the
hostage. They're basically
saying we got to give up on the
hostages because they're booby
trapped
Unknown: anyway. I guess most
people would assume the hostages
would be booby trapped. So
again, Israel is forced to
negotiate with them at some
point. But again, there's an
expiration. There's no way that
sin war makes it out of all this
alive,
and given his selection, how do
you think this will change or
impact Hamas and its goals?
You know, one really interesting
aspect is that Hania was able to
unite many of the various
Palestinian factions he had been
in the political arena for for
decades. Sin war is a bit more
of the fighter type. And so
there are, you know, there was
an agreement recently in Beijing
where the Chinese brought
together 12 or 14 different
Palestinian factions that was
largely due to hania's
particular role. Being able to
bring these groups together.
Singapore does not have that.
Now, a lot of groups are still
going to be deferential to him
as leader of Hamas, but he's
coming from disadvantage. He's
coming from a place where he
can't go out in the open and
negotiate and talk with others.
He's literally bunkered down.
John C Dvorak: Okay, all right,
but he can't do negotiations
because they're going to kill
him.
Adam Curry: Yeah, it seems like
not a great way to start
negotiations. Hey, we're going
to kill you. But want to, do you
want to make a deal? Or maybe
that is the deal, like we won't
kill you if you come to the
table. I don't know.
Unknown: Now, on that hard line
stance, a man who spent years
with a sin war in Israel,
Israeli prisons told CNN that
quote, as far as Israel is
concerned, this is not good news
regarding the deal. Because of
seminars close relationship with
Iran. Help us understand the
dynamics there.
You know, Hamas is an imperfect
proxy of Iran. Hamas is Sunni
and the Iranian regime is Shia,
and they actually split
relations for a number of years
over Iran's activities in Syria.
So, and you know, Hamas gets a
lot of military support,
financial support, certainly
political support, from Iran.
But at the end of the day, Hamas
also tries to advance its own
agenda, its own ideology, which
is separate from that of Iran.
However, now I think that Hamas
is on the front line of fighting
Israel, which is Iran's greatest
enemy. You're seeing Iran go out
of their way to try to help
Hamas more than they would have
before October 7.
This is, this is so cynical.
Just, yeah, they're
Adam Curry: just like, oh, this
is how it works. And, you know,
just like Iran is just one big
blob, and it's just that, by the
way, they're two weeks away from
a nuclear bomb. You should have
mentioned that there
John C Dvorak: always been two
weeks away. I had a clip in a
couple of shows ago. Yeah, with
actually, I still have this
clip, just to interrupt this
flow. I think it's the if I
moved it over, it's Lindsey
Graham. Yes, here he is.
Unknown: Senator Lindsey Graham
of South Carolina is introducing
legislation that would allow the
President to use military force
against Iran if it's determined
Iran is using nuclear weapons.
If
we do not change course, Iran
will, in the coming weeks or
months, coming weeks or months,
coming weeks or months, possess
a nuclear weapon. It is time to
end the charade that the world
is playing when it comes to
Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran that
are one in the same.
Adam Curry: Did he have any
plans like bomb them,
John C Dvorak: bomb them and
bomb them again. All right, back
to the Hamas guy. Now I wanted
to before we go to the last
clip, I should mention there's a
couple clips here that I left
out a lot of stuff when they
start about the United States
and its approach, which the guy
kind of poo poos is, is
basically idiotic. So I'll leave
that out, and we'll move to the
last clip. And
Unknown: what will some are
leadership mean for the
Palestinian people in Gaza?
Well,
I think we've sort of seen it
over the last several decades.
It's failed leadership. It is
leadership that is obsessed with
revolution within to Fauci of
violence. This is leadership
that has been offered peace
several times and has rejected
it at every turn. Cinema's goal
for the Palestinian people,
frankly, if he could see them
all dead, if that was what was
required to take out Israel
along the way, it's something he
would probably sign up for. And
frankly, that's really what he
did sign up for with October 7.
It was designed so that Israel
would counter attack. It was
designed and all their hostage
hostages have been designed so
that more and more Palestine.
Indians are killed. That is in
order policy. It is the only
time you have a military leader
whose success, in fact, is
defined by how many of his own
people can he have died in the
path of jihad? Oh, this
Adam Curry: is great. So by
killing him, we're actually
saving Palestinians. That's
fantastic. Wow. These guys are
so good. And who was this,
again, who was speaking, What?
John C Dvorak: What? He's a guy.
He's got a bunch of he was ex
State Department. He's, he
worked for us, and he's working
for some, some Polaris or some
company that does security work.
And then he's also a friend of
he's a some, some Jewish
operation.
Adam Curry: We gotta stop this.
We gotta stop
John C Dvorak: this. All this is
nothing to stop.
Adam Curry: I have a clip here
from, can't be done, from the
secrets and spies podcast, yes.
Have you ever heard this
podcast? Yeah, I have. This is
Philip Smith, who you'll hear
speaking. He's from the
Washington Institute of the Near
East, which, of course, is some
Unknown: kind of, yeah, yeah,
some front, some front
Adam Curry: group. And he's,
he's talking about, I think, I
think what he's saying here is
along the lines of our thinking,
which is, they wanted this old
guy, the one who got blowed up.
They just wanted him out of the
way.
Unknown: The New York Times that
said, No, there was actually a
bomb planted inside of his room.
And of course, there was some
other kind of more fluffy
details that were in there.
Like, for instance, it was an AI
controlled thing, and you throw
AI into it, that sounds
advanced, but anyways, word of
the day, yeah. So, I mean, it
was kind of stuff like that. But
you know, there's an AI
controlled thing that also
detected when he was in the
exact room. But what's
fascinating is you had other
representatives and the
leadership of the Palestinian
Islamic Jihad that were staying
in the same building. Now,
Palestinian Islamic Jihad is
more directly controlled by the
Iranians, very dangerous group,
but pij has been very, very big
in terms of launching rockets,
kidnapping people, killing
people, suicide bombings, you
name it, and they are markedly
more beholden to the Iranians.
And interestingly, their reps
who were there were not killed,
which, once again, it's another
signal
yet on the call as the head
of Islamic Jihad, he
was in the room next door, it
was reported in the in the ronin
Bergman article, yes, yeah, but,
but again, that's the Okay, if
you think we can't hit anyone
exactly when we want, that's
this is the thinking that goes
behind it. I mean, I'm sure
there are, there are people out
there like, why don't they just
kill them all in the building?
Well, then that wouldn't send
quite the same signal, now,
would it?
I think they took them out
themselves. Just take this guy
possible. Just take this guy
out.
John C Dvorak: It's probably the
reason there hasn't used to this
moment. They still haven't
started their retribution.
Adam Curry: So let's just stay
on this for a second, because
there are a number of a number
of Iran narratives going around,
even though it's like, is it
Pakistan? Is it Iran? Is it
ISIS? Listen to this,
Unknown: the FBI arresting a
Pakistani national in connection
with an alleged plot to
assassinate former President
Donald Trump. Senior
investigative correspondent
Aaron katersky joins me now. So
what do we know about this man
and what he was playing our
planet? Oops,
Adam Curry: truth wants to come
out. What he was playing? Yeah,
he was playing a role, but okay,
planning correspondent
Unknown: Aaron katersky joins me
now. So what do we know about
this man and what he was
playing?
Or Kira, his name is a safe
merchant, and he entered the
United States, according to
federal prosecutors, in Brooklyn
in April. And while he was here
in the United States, he made
phone calls trying to hire hit
men to carry out his alleged
scheme to assassinate government
officials on U S soil. The
criminal complaint does not
mention former President Trump
by name, but multiple sources
familiar with this case say one
of the intended targets was
former President Trump the hit
men that Asif merchant allegedly
contacted ended up being
confidential sources of the FBI.
So there was never any real
danger here, because it seems
the Feds were onto this man from
the start. They followed him for
several months and arrested him
July 12, just before he was
about to board a flight and
leave the country. Kira the
arrest, July 12, you'll note, is
one day before former President
Trump's rally in Butler,
Pennsylvania, when there was an
attempt on the former
president's life. Although these
two things are not believed to
be connected, all right,
so no evidence in any way, shape
or form. They could have shared
information or were connected in
any way, two separate incidents
at this point.
So it seems curry The FBI has
said they found no connection
between Thomas crooks, the 20
year old who took a shot at
Trump in Pennsylvania, and any
foreign operatives. But. He did
learn, subsequent to the rally
and the assassination attempt,
that the Secret Service had made
adjustments to the security plan
for the rally because of
thinking that Iran did have this
desire to go after former
President Trump. Perhaps now we
know what gave them that
indication. Perhaps this is one
of the reasons why those
security adjustments were made.
This
Adam Curry: is such a convoluted
story, so because they learned
about some threats from Iran,
they made it even easier. Yeah,
I mean, what is going on? And
then I know you have the clip
here. I'll play your clip. So
now we have ISIS trying to
attack a Taylor Swift concert.
Unknown: An alleged terror plot
targeting Taylor Swift concerts
in Austria has been foiled. The
three swift concerts in Vienna
have now been canceled by the
promoter. Two suspects were
arrested in connection with the
alleged plot. Officials in
Austria said the main suspect is
a 19 year old Austrian citizen.
They believe he had pledged an
oath of allegiance to ISIS.
Authorities said they found
chemical substances when he was
taken into custody.
Investigators are working to
determine whether they could
have been used to build a bomb
at a news conference,
authorities said they believe
both men became radicalized on
the internet and confirm that
they have detailed plans on how
to carry out an attack.
Adam Curry: Now, there's a lot,
I mean, this is, I mean, maybe
the Swift OP is just using
Taylor Swift for whatever,
whatever we want to use her for.
Because, you know, we had the
three kids who were killed in
the UK, knifed to death. They
were at a Taylor Swift party.
Then we've got ISIS wanting to
blow up people, young girls,
supposedly, and their parents at
a Taylor Swift concert in
Vienna. By the way, there's an
update breaking. We're getting
Unknown: some breaking news from
Austria following the
cancelation of three Taylor
Swift concerts in Vienna. Police
this morning are releasing new
details about a terror plot that
targeted the stadium where the
shows were scheduled this
weekend. Government officials
confirmed the two men arrested
in connection to a planned
attack. They say a 17 year old
suspect began working at the
Austrian venue days before the
now canceled shows. The suspect
sought to use knives or homemade
explosives in the attack outside
the Swift concerts during a
press conference, fan as head of
police said immediate danger had
been minimized and that an
abstract danger remained in the
city. All tickets will be
refunded with the next 10
business days. Swift's next set
of airs tour concerts are still
scheduled in London from August
15 to the 20th. Yeah, that
Adam Curry: sounds like a great
place to do a concert right now.
The Killing, they're killing
your fans. Oh, man, there are
forces at work right now that
and who don't care about human
life, clearly, who are really
trying to set the stage for,
maybe for Trump, I'm not sure,
but they're setting the stage.
They're set up underway and,
well, let me just play the
before we get to that. No, maybe
I should play this. Now, it
seems like this the latest
that's happening in the world of
what WTF is also our doing. This
is Bangladesh. Most people don't
understand it or care about it,
but this is a report, an appeal
Unknown: for calm from the
street. The army chief in
Bangladesh spoke to the nation
in a televised address, general
Bucha Zaman announced an interim
government would be formed,
while confirming report Sheik
Hasina had resigned.
The honorable Prime Minister has
resigned. Now we will form an
interim government and continue
our work to lead the country
through the interim government,
all the functioning of the
country will take place
out on the streets of the
capital Dhaka. Jubilant crowds
waved flags and took pictures
with Army personnel. This after
the Prime Minister's residence
was stormed, after crowds grew
in numbers overwhelming
security, demonstrators removed
articles of furniture and danced
in celebration. The latest
development out of Bangladesh
kept weeks of unrest. Student
led demonstrations kicked off
last month over a controversial
quarter system on over half of
government jobs reserved for
certain groups, including
descendants of freedom fighters.
But that quickly spiraled into a
campaign to oust the prime
minister, a heavy handed
crackdown under Sheik Hasina
watch resulted in nearly 300
people killed, and the eventual
downfall of the Prime Minister
herself.
Adam Curry: So you know, to us
in the West, it's like some
people, brown people in some
country, making a mess for
themselves, but if you look just
a little bit deeper. So now this
general has come in, and he's
not so that's what we call a
coup. And the Prime Minister,
Sheik Hasina, who. Led the
country is now openly accusing
the Biden regime of seeking to
top hole her government with a
color revolution for her
refusing to allow the United
States to establish a military
base in Bangladesh and for
Bangladesh to cut ties with
Russia and China, I'm gonna say
that sounds pretty true to me,
especially when you see this,
uh, Walker uzama guy, let me
see, oh, he studied at the joint
services Command and Staff
College in the UK and at King's
College University in London,
also Known as the spook
University. Come on, people come
it's so nasty, just nasty.
Unknown: And I believe that,
John C Dvorak: of course, you
know, it's very believable. It's
the reason you believe it. You
believe it because it's
believable. It's very and it
makes, actually makes sense.
Yes, thank you. Because we try
to do with Yeah, we we try to
make sense. We try well Now Sam
saying, as a country, we don't
put up with any guff, guff, no
guff, no
Adam Curry: guff, no
John C Dvorak: guff, no guff.
Next the good show tile, no
guff, no
Adam Curry: guff. What is guff?
Exactly,
John C Dvorak: you know guff.
It's like grief, so we don't put
in any grief or guff or talk
back
Adam Curry: kill bull crap.
John C Dvorak: Bull crap. No,
both bull crap, word for bull
crap.
Adam Curry: Little update, we
haven't talked about the
Olympics very much well
John C Dvorak: before you drove
too far. I do want to play the
Pierce Morgan commentary on
Taylor Swift. Oh,
Adam Curry: well, how could I
even go to sleep tonight without
Pierce Morgan commentary on
Taylor Swift? Oh, and the
John C Dvorak: only reason I'm
playing this is because I have a
complaint about it. He's on
Jordan Peterson's podcast, one
of the dull podcasts of the
group. And so
Adam Curry: it looks like
someone vomited on Peterson's
jackets. Is like, I can't it's
hard to watch. He's always
John C Dvorak: wearing weird
jackets. But anyway, he's
Peterson is bored stiff
listening to this guy, and it's
and he's just going, okay,
whatever. And so he But he goes
on and on. He's who knew that
Piers Morgan, of all people, is
a Swifty, an alleged
Unknown: terror plot targeting
Taylor Swift concerts in Austria
has been oiled the three swift
Adam Curry: This is not what you
want. That's not it. It's, I'm
sorry.
John C Dvorak: Annoying Pierce
on Taylor. Annoying.
Unknown: Feel comfortable with
winners anymore, you know,
especially if they're a little
bit self confident, and yet, I
think they're the best possible
role models out there, people
that can perform in the cauldron
of great sports or
entertainment,
Adam Curry: cauldron, cauldron,
witchcraft. Anybody. People
Unknown: that can perform in the
cauldron of great sports or
entertainment, whatever it may
be. You know, I watched all this
sort of jealous sniping about
Taylor Swift, for example, and
then I went to her concert at
Wembley, absolutely mind blowing
experience. It's not because
she's the best singer in the
world or the best dancer or the
best actress or the best pianist
or the best guitarist, even
though she does all those
things, it's just I've never
seen an audience so at one with
the performer, where she gave
them what they wanted. Three and
a half hours of banging hits on
a massive stage with huge
theatrics. Every kid there,
including my 12 year old
daughter, had a fantastic time,
but the sniping. She doesn't
sing every song live. She's
there. She's that. She's written
all these songs herself. She's
grossing $2 billion on this
tool, pro rata, the biggest tour
in the history of music, bigger
than the Beatles when they
played Shea Stadium.
John C Dvorak: Well, this guy
funny.
Unknown: I could have done
without that.
John C Dvorak: I couldn't. And
here we go. She has minimum of
62 different collaborators that
write these songs. Yeah,
Adam Curry: that's clearly
Pierce is wrong. On that one,
John C Dvorak: he says she
writes all her own. Yeah, she
has written a few songs, but the
songs, if you look at her hits
and look at who wrote him, she's
not even on there. These songs,
collaborations at at best. And
sometimes we have anything to
do. We call that collabs. We
call that collabs in the
business, the collabs. So this
is a lie, and he's he bought
into it.
Adam Curry: Wow. Pierce Morgan
buying into a lie. What will we
what will happen next? What will
happen next? All right, I
John C Dvorak: just thought it
was an important Clip to play,
if nothing else, into here.
Jordan, Peterson, go, okay,
Adam Curry: yeah. Well,
Peterson, by him, he's not very
dynamic. Anyways, he's not
dynamic.
John C Dvorak: No, he's actually
a good guest with and if he has,
if he put him with a dynamic.
Post and he's the guest, it
picks his energy up, but him
being the host, it drops the
energy in the whole podcast. As
they said, I'm surprised Pierce
even got this worked up, but
he's big Taylor Swift Fan.
Adam Curry: I mean, you know,
Darren and and Peter should get
together do a podcast
Unknown: the Tay Tay cast, yeah,
Adam Curry: we haven't spoken
much about the Olympics. I do
want to give us an update. This
is the turkey, turkey ish radio.
What is Turkey? Turkey a do we
say Turkey? A ish turkey? A
turkey a radio and television,
they have put the reporter on
the scene and come up with the
10 controversies of the 10 days
of the Olympics.
Unknown: Number one, more than
$1.5 billion was spent cleaning
the sun since 2015 yet the
glorified sewer is still
extremely polluted, and athletes
who swam in the same well, let's
just say it was an unforgettable
experience for them. Number two,
South Korea was wrongfully
announced as the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea
during the opening vote parade,
Democratic People's Republic of
Korea, the Olympic Committee and
organizers would later apologize
for their mistake. Number three,
in their Olympic basketball
debut, the wrong national anthem
for South Sudan was played.
Number four, Papa Smurf drag
queens and the mocking of the
Last Supper, all this and more
at the opening ceremony. Number
five, the athletes accommodation
has come under heavy criticism,
from cardboard beds to lack of
air conditioning this extreme
heat, some athletes even
resorted to leaving the Olympic
village and relocating to nearby
hotels. Number six, espionage at
the Olympics team Canada was
caught spying on New Zealand
during their training session,
and as a result, received a six
points penalty. Number seven,
they actually hoisted the
Olympic flag the wrong way.
Congratulations, you had one job
and you missed the cut. Number
eight, the handling of the
weather conditions. It rained a
lot, and I mean a lot during the
opening ceremony. Number nine,
the participation of Israel was
one of the major talking points
going into Paris. 20 2024
Russia, who sent troops into
Ukraine in 2022 was banned from
the Paris Olympics. Yet Israel,
who has killed more than 39,000
people in their assault on
Palestine, Gaza, was warmly
welcomed to this year's games.
Number 10, Fauci job ban has
been highlighted even more since
the Olympics began, we've spoken
with world class athletes here
in Paris who are unable to
compete for this nation because
of this pro law. And that's our
list of all the controversies
that have happened at Paris 2024
John C Dvorak: Bah, what a list
I should mention. The first
thing on his list about the sin
being polluted, puking
everywhere they were. They were
a bunch of these guys that were
in whatever competition required
them swimming in this dreck shit
fill river. They got it. Ended
up hospitalized. It was a big
scandal. You know, they were
hospitalized. Oh, good, yes,
this, this broke yesterday that
a bunch of them were
hospitalized with the
Adam Curry: E coli. Well, then
there's the food.
Unknown: The Olympic Village
isn't serving adequate food, and
some athletes aren't happy about
it. It's such a problem that
team Great Britain has resorted
to packed lunches and eating
meals away from the Olympic
Village. Andy Anson, chief of
the British Olympic Association,
told The Times that the quality
of the food needs to be improved
dramatically, and said there
aren't enough eggs chicken and
certain carbohydrates. He also
said that athletes have been
served raw meat. Chefs have been
tasked with preparing over 13
million meals and snacks for
athletes. And the Paris 2024,
committee has the goal of
reducing animal proteins and
offering more plant based
options the
Adam Curry: raw meat, I think
they just took it the wrong way.
That was sous vide. You missed.
And
John C Dvorak: the other thing
is that what they left out of
that clip. I had that clip too,
but I was irked by the fact they
left out the worms. Yes, worms.
They found worms in the fish,
live worms coming out of the
fish. It. This is the this is a
disaster, even though they're
making more money than ever.
Adam Curry: Well, yeah, of
course, of course, we didn't
talk about it, but the Wall
Street went crazy on Friday and
Monday. You guys talked about it
on DH unplugged, and you put it
in the newsletter that we would
talk about it. I don't know why
you did that.
John C Dvorak: I did yeah, I
said. You said, yeah,
Adam Curry: we'll explain it.
Unknown: I said that, yes, yes,
I
Adam Curry: saw it myself. I
don't know if we need to explain
it, although
John C Dvorak: once in a while I
put stuff in there that you
don't mean that. You don't mean,
I didn't mean it. I was just a
joke. Well,
Adam Curry: you guys talked
about mainly on DH unplug, which
is a great show. You should
listen. You can listen to it
live on Tuesdays at streams
live, they have some kind of
chat room which doesn't work. So
they need donations. They need
help to work fine. They need
help. They rag on Bitcoin. Yet
Horowitz is is interviewing
Scaramucci today, so you know,
all right, whatever. But the the
yen curry trade seems to be the
impetus, or the the catalyst,
for this. Which I didn't really
know much about, but it makes a
lot of sense that people were
basically borrowing a lot of
money, because the Yen is you
can borrow that almost for free.
And then they were buying all
kinds of tech stocks, The
Magnificent Seven, and then
Japan said, Oh, we're going to
raise our interest rates. And
everyone got in trouble. Is
that, does that sum it up?
Basically it would cost it?
Yeah. And now, in addition to
that,
John C Dvorak: that out of the
blue because they had negative
interest rates, it was free
money. Out of the blue, they
just go, we're talking about
lowering interest rate. I don't
want to get into this too. No,
no, we're talking about lowering
interest rates in this country,
almost 50 basis points. We're
now talking and they out of the
blue. They just raised, like
blew everybody's money. It was
great. It caused a collapse.
Adam Curry: But along with that,
and even though I think the
market rocketed back up today,
who knows what's going on and so
every all of that is phony
baloney, but my beat, AI is
taking a beating. Just a couple
of headlines, and I have two
quick clips. The Guardian view
on the tech bubble going pop. Ai
pays the price for inflated
expectations. Is the AI bubble
about to burst? AI's two
fundamental issues will lead to
a bubble pop. Goldman, Sachs in
business. Insider, yep, it's all
happening. And here's Yahoo
News. A lot of people who are
unsophisticated investors use
Yahoo finance.yahoo.com,
Unknown: case in point, I really
see
John C Dvorak: the easy way to
look at charts, but a lot of
Adam Curry: unsophisticated
investors views it for their
news and information. This is
who is this? This dude, Patrick
Moore had an analyst. I really
see, you know Patrick Moore
John C Dvorak: had used to be a
very famous public relations guy
for AMD.
Unknown: Oh, interesting. Well,
yeah,
he's now an analyst. I really
see two major, actually, three,
three major buckets for for a I
plays. The first one is this
infrastructure. Anybody who is
related to building out these
massive data centers with GPUs
in them, I think are very, I'm
very confident next 12 to 18
months that's going to be the
case. And we saw the capital
expenditure commitments by
Microsoft and meta and Amazon.
It is absolutely pedal to the
metal on that. And then there's
the longer term, downstream
right the enterprise software
providers that that there has to
be benefit in a large scale for
all this to to interconnect,
because there is just,
factually, an over investment in
the capability versus the
downstream benefits at this
point and and if that gear
doesn't connect, and let's say,
12 months, what's going to
happen is the investors of these
enterprise software companies
are going to be asking, you
know, where's the benefit? And
have super pressure on these
companies to start scaling back.
And that is when all bets are
off.
Adam Curry: This is gonna come
apart so beautifully. Every
single day I receive emails from
dudes named Ben like, oh man, we
had to implement one of these AI
things. It's just a stupid chat
bot. Our customers hate it. We
hate it. It doesn't work. 20%
25% 30% of the answers it gives
us wrong. It's not it's not
working. Now this your buddy
Patrick, did have a an
interesting side note here, but
I think he's reading this the
tea leaves the wrong way.
Unknown: And then the final
thing I want to add is I still
think there's this on tapped
opportunity, which is the AI PC
and AI smartphones. You know, we
saw a little bit on the AI
smartphones related to Apple. We
saw a slight bump on that. But
when you consider there's only
one generation of Apple
smartphones that can do all the
AI tricks out there, and then
people are gonna have to buy new
smartphones, new tablets and
even even new Macs. That's
really, I think good news for
companies like Apple and
Qualcomm and even AMD and Intel.
Adam Curry: I see it exactly the
opposite. I don't think a single
person is going to want to buy a
new phone that costs even more
because of AI tricks. I think
it's going to hurt apple. My
God, I don't think I want this
thing.
John C Dvorak: You have a you
have a negative attitude. Of
course, this is very, very
negative, and you are very
negative. My son, who works in
AI, well,
Adam Curry: Jesus, he thinks
it's the best thing. No,
John C Dvorak: no. He says,
Okay. He says something that you
can put in the Red Book. And I.
Think it's good. I think he
might be right. He thinks that
it's got, it's got enough legs
to go two more years. Wow. In
other words, no, yeah, not. Most
people that see bubbles like you
do, or you know this, this idea
of being a bubble head, always
are premature, and I'm guessing
he's probably right about the
two years now, that means we'll
have our cable business in
place. Yes, because it's only
going to take us about a year to
do it.
Adam Curry: Oh, wow, that's
good. Our exit strategy is,
strategy is on deck. I love it,
and then maybe I'll be able to
afford a better supplier of my
Dr Pepper. I got another flat
can.
John C Dvorak: Wow, the fact
that you have, man,
Adam Curry: that was beautiful.
I timed it beautifully,
John C Dvorak: I'm telling you,
having been a can inspector,
yeah, yes, in more ways than
one, I say yes, but having been
a can Inspector, I would say the
likelihood of running into two
bad cans from the same company
in your lifetime is remote.
Remote, very remote. I think in
my whole life, I have run into
maybe one bad can ever besides
the ones I was inspecting and I
saw. That's what weird, weird
Unknown: donation to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could
do that. Oh yeah, that'd
be fun. No agenda. It.
Adam Curry: So here I am trying
to look at the batch number, and
of course, I spill it all over
my that that was not good, that,
in fact, that is very bad,
because this is sugar, and this
sugar water will get into my
midi controller and will ruin
it. Would you spill it on the
computer? No, the MIDI
controller mixer, which I use
for,
John C Dvorak: oh, well, it's
just said, yeah, there's
nothing. There's ways to do. Do
Adam Curry: you have any lube or
something?
John C Dvorak: This is like the,
no, I got no lube. This is like
the guy with the holding a can.
He say, What time is it? He
dumps the can on himself.
Adam Curry: That's pretty much
what I just did like a moron.
Anyway, I think I have a, I have
a lawsuit on my hands. Two, two
cans in one batch is not good.
It's not good, and it ruined,
ruined my equipment.
John C Dvorak: Anyway, from the
same batch that you purchased, I
think so, yeah. Oh, it's like
hard disks.
Adam Curry: Did you get my hard
disk? By the way? Yes, I did.
Thank
John C Dvorak: you very much. I
got the hard disk and
everything. And you scribble all
over the hard disk, which is
funny,
Adam Curry: with a with a with a
silver Magic Marker, with
John C Dvorak: a silver pin,
yes, which everyone should have
it. That's a tip of the day is
the silver sharpie. They're very
handy.
Adam Curry: Silver sharpies are
great. Hey, let's thank some
people who came in $50 or above,
John will read them off for you.
And of course, there'll be
several congratulations for the
36 wedding anniversary of my
partner and his lovely wife, who
also does a lot for the show,
often unmentioned behind the
scenes, she does all of our tax
accounting, which is very
annoying, and she for her, and
she does the meetups and manages
all that. And we love her. Mimi
is awesome. Clearly, you
John C Dvorak: married up and
she she runs a kennel,
Adam Curry: and she runs again.
She runs a kennel,
John C Dvorak: right? That start
to ski starts us off in Kingman,
Arizona, 12324, Kyle tech, T, A,

Dakota, one, one, 1.11, and he

Adam Curry: oh, okay, the Bing

John C Dvorak: I guess Rami in
Norfolk, Virginia, one, one,
1.11, you can take a look at her
note. She has a really nice
note. Take a look at it. See if
there's anything we need to
read. Need to read now. She has
nice handwriting to this.
Unknown: She says, this is this
Adam Curry: something should put
me? Oh, to Dame status, really?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, and she's
on the list. Oh, there
Adam Curry: you go. I would need
to put this on hold since life
is in flux due to hobbies. Naval
retirement in January. Sorry,
it's been so long between
donations. So
John C Dvorak: her husband is
retired from the Navy. Okay, but
Adam Curry: is she a dame? I
don't, I don't have any, I think
she's got, she's I don't have
Daming on the list today. So I
think that it's okay.
John C Dvorak: We're gonna have
to wait, Ronnie just to send us
a note. What's your name and all
the rest it wants to be. Please
do, and then we'll take care of
it next show or the show after.

night. And this is what I always

nights people who are on those
sustaining donations that you
can actually make it. This is
from Charlie Boyd. He says in
the morning, John and Adam, I
have faithfully recently
completed my knighthood. Lay
away. I'm utterly confused as to
how I'm to become an official
night of the Round Table. Was
not that hard. It's working.
I've been listening for almost
10 years, and would think I
would be in tune with the system
by now. I would like to ask for
relationship karma. Yeah, as I'm
a half century old and living
alone with my tiny dog Patty in
the little college town of San
Marcos, Texas. Hey, ladies,
there's an eligible bachelor
with a little, tiny dog called
Patty in San Marcos, which is a
nice little town between Austin
and San Anton. There's a nice
little airport there too, as
well. There aren't as many
keepers around that fit my age
preference. So it's been slim
pickings. I would like to be
called Sir, Call of the Void,
and would like to have a healthy
heaping of red beans and rice
and a Shirley Temple. At the
round table, red beans and rice
and a Shirley Temple. I don't
think I had the did I do we have
some extra red beans and rice?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we usually
have that, but the Shirley
Temple's we need some grenadine
syrup.
Adam Curry: Is that? What's in a
Shirley Temple?
John C Dvorak: Yeah,
Unknown: great. Okay, let me
see. I'll put that in here.
Adam Curry: Okay? And, and he
wants a woman, all right, there
you go. So let me give him
that's a relationship karma.
First off,
Unknown: you've got karma.
Adam Curry: And get yourself
ready, sir. As we bring out the
blades, because we have a couple
of people tonight, there is my
blade. Bring out olympic size
one, if you don't mind, one
that, here's the big boy. It's
been dipped in the sand. All

Give it a look. See at no agenda
meetups.com. If you can't find
no one there, start one
yourself. It's always easy and
always a party safe.
Where everybody feels no agenda
meetups.com By the way, you
know, as ever since we finished
Fraser and then cheers when
watching Veep. And we are now in
season three, and it is
synchronous, almost synchronous,
with Kamala Harris as vice
president Selina now has decided
to run for president, and we're
all it's crazy. And I look at
that show and I think, yeah,
that's exactly what's going on
behind the scenes at the Harris
campaign.
John C Dvorak: Exactly the same
script. Writer,
Adam Curry: no kidding. How
about some misos? I have a think
four. So you have two. I'll
start with yours, if you don't
mind,
Unknown: sure what you got. No,
let's see. I've got a crazy That
was crazy.
Adam Curry: Not bad, not bad,
not bad, not bad.
John C Dvorak: Well, then here's
one that's not too bad, not too
bad. Really,
Unknown: I don't like the
cutoff.
Adam Curry: All right, couple
ones for me here. So I have
four. Let me see if you like any
of these. But
Unknown: they, they, they serve
no agenda.
No, you don't like that one.
Okay, next one, folks don't be
pooping on the beach. Pooping on
the beach
got to do with anything,
nothing. And yes, I am weird.
Adam Curry: Okay, that's getting
better. And I think this is the,
this is the winner, two
Unknown: Grumpy Old Men.
I think that's just,
yeah, that's
just the classic.
John C Dvorak: I think crazy is
better than that, but I'll take
that. Okay, good. And now,
Adam Curry: ladies and
gentlemen, to wind up the show.
It is time for Charles Tip of
the Day. And
Unknown: sometimes
Adam Curry: I don't, yeah, we
like to wind up the show with
the tip of the day, so you can
go into the rest of your
weekend, into the weekend, in
this case, with knowledge that
you cannot get from any other
podcast. John, what's your tip
of the day? I
John C Dvorak: actually have two
today, wow, a double header, or
I could have one, whatever, but
I do have a clip that has a tip
in it. Oh, good that I thought
would be worth playing, because
it has to do with the Olympics.
Okay. What is it? And it is the
where are we rocking? Pin
trading, pin trading,
Unknown: dozens of passionate
pin traders and collectors were
fervently exchanging pins in the
heart of Paris last week. Many
call it an unofficial Olympic
sport.
A pin specialist from the US
advises newcomers to prepare
their pins in advance. They can
do that by purchasing them
online and bringing them to the
Olympics. The best
thing to do if you want to trade
pins is to come to the games or
come to an event with with pins
that you have to trade. If you
buy them at stores here, they're
very expensive, but if you can
buy them cheaper on eBay, people
buy them in bulk and eBay older
pins and bring them and trade
them. Reed
has been trading pins since the
1996 Atlanta Olympics. It's
the unofficial sport of the
Olympics. There are 1000s of
people that fed trade. They're
probably more pin traders than
their athletes, if you think of
it that way. I mean, we set this
up today, and there was no
advertising. We just put
something on Facebook and said,
Come the
pin trading fair. Gathered.
Traders from all around the
world, all drawn by the allure
of the Olympics. This year, the
area was bustling with people
eager to make a good trade. The
fact that a lot represent
countries, so
you're you're kind of getting
stuff
from all over the world, and
that's really cool.
According to the first Olympics
website, pin trading dates back
to the first modern games in
1896 when athletes work hard,
board badges, nearly 130 years
later, the variety of pins has
significantly expanded.
Busy all day long. People love
coming here and trading,
interacting, and it becomes very
addictive.
National organizing committees,
sporting federations, media
companies and sponsors all offer
their enameled mementos.
Adam Curry: So this is a tip for
dorks.
John C Dvorak: It's a tip for
people who trade pins in this a
bigger group than you think.
Adam Curry: Yeah, of darks
flare.
John C Dvorak: You. You? Your
judgmental guy. I am
Adam Curry: who trades pins? I
thought, when I saw that clip,
thought, pin numbers for your
ATM, that's kind of cool to
trade that. Hey, I'll take
yours. You take mine, but no pin
trading. So what is the tip?
Then
John C Dvorak: the tip is to buy
your pins in advance from eBay
and then take them there and
wholesale and ramp up.
Adam Curry: Okay, great tip,
John.
John C Dvorak: I have a second
tip, or I can push the second
tip. No, no. Running out of
time. I
Adam Curry: need to hear the
tip. I need more tip. No,
John C Dvorak: you would. So I'm
in Slovenia, floating around.
And they bring up interesting
point up, and I'm going to this
is the tip they claim in
Slovenia. They claim this, that
pumpkin seed oil if you if you
ingest it, and they have it if
you go to, like, any restaurant
there, and the salad bars always
have, like, the oil and vinegar,
but they also have a big thing
of pumpkin seed oil that you put
on the salad. And they claim
that pumpkin seed, you use
pumpkin seed oil, and this is
not, I'm not giving medical
advice, but they've sincerely
believed that pumpkin seed oil
prevents prostate cancer. Wow.
They're, they're just a they're,
they adhere to this belief that
pumpkin seed oil no prostate
cancer. And so use it a lot. So
they use it on the salads. And I
actually use it myself, kind of
believing this possibility I've,
you know, got a healthy
Adam Curry: process. There's
another butt tip from John C
Dvorak. And so
John C Dvorak: here is that. So
you go to Amazon has it, and
there's a French company that
that sells it, and by the way,
they sell it in a small can. You
can just look up pumpkin seed
oil on Amazon, or you can find
it at some stores.
Adam Curry: You can just eat
pumpkin seeds. Will that do it
too? Or you won't get
John C Dvorak: as much oil as
you do from these just you can
have to eat tons of me sick. The
point is, is that this pumpkin
seed is quite good on a salad.
It's very strong flavored oil,
and it's very nice raw on a
salad. And the thing that's
irksome is that I looked into
the idea of of importing pumpkin
seed oil, and they it's, it's
like a it's like an industrial
waste. Yeah, I was gonna say
it's sludge in Slovenia, and
it's like this. It's like you
could get to your 10 gallons for
$1 kind of thing. But when the
when the French make it in their
little cans, it's like 15 bucks
for a small can. So it's, it's,
I think, a pretty pricey once
Adam Curry: again, considering
what it's really used for. It's
another lube story. You can't
get off a lube. That's what they
use it for. You.
John C Dvorak: She is lube.
Adam Curry: Everybody, good
news.
Unknown: It's good advice.
Johnson, everybody,
Adam Curry: that's in Tip of the
Day. I love it so. And you know,
I think people who miss the tip
of the day because they like I'm
tuning out. They miss out on a
lot of good stuff. I think
you're foolish to not
John C Dvorak: stay tuned.
Foolish. Fell asleep by now.
You're kooky.
Adam Curry: You're kooky if you
don't listen to the tip of the
day or the outstanding end of
show mixes, which are end of
show mixers always put together
as some valuable time and
talent. We have Mr. Kecta, once
again, D's laughs and still
checking in almost every single
show from China Professor Jay
Jones. We love them so much.
Appreciate it. Send all those
mixes to adam@curry.com remember
us at no agenda, donations.com.
Coming to you from the heart of
the Texas Hill Country, here in
Fredericksburg, Texas wine
country, in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry. And
from
John C Dvorak: Northern Silicon
Valley, where it's time for me
to go to Costco. I'm John C
Dvorak. And Happy anniversary,
Adam Curry: John and Mimi we we
love you, and we love our cable
network idea. Even more, coming
up next, we have two good old
boys, sir Jean and the dude
named Ben, named Ben till
Sunday, adios. Mofo is a hooey,
hooey and such,
Unknown: what Kamala Harris is
doing is amazing. It is a
testament to her charisma, but
it's also a testament to the
team she's put together,
including Tim Walton. It's
really interesting to see a vice
presidential pick generate this
kind of extra energy for this
you know, we all talk about do
no harm with the pick, or maybe
have an impact on a particular
state.
The pairing is actually quite
magical. How you feel about
Trump calling Kamala Harris
alone she is. She's welcome as
career prosecutors and shoppers
from character deficits. She's
one of these people that has
absolutely no connection with
what the hell with going on?
He's in her 20s, and Willie
Brown took her off in his
mistress. He means what He says,
we can take him seriously. He
means, it's mental happily, a
storm do now in the
local election district where
people count the votes. In
the states where they're gonna
count the votes,
right? Are you confident
that there will be a peaceful
transfer of power january 2025
if Trump wins? No, I'm not
confident
John C Dvorak: at all. What's
that in your mouth? You think,
Unknown: John? Stop now family
show,
running out of options. Who's
watching constant surveillance
and data collection in the name
of protection? Hey, what's that
in your mouth? Videos, listen,
captures in secret. I mean, huh?
Figure it out. Repent. Get
right. All done in plain sight,
captured by your vice,
compromised and paid with a high
price, attending parties and
events, thinking, look, no one
sees. What happens in the
shadows is just dense. Sidle up
to someone who's been abused
before, keeping a secret,
spilling your guts and saying,
Tell me more rumors and threats,
abundance, you become numb. How
much to buy your silence. I
mean, just don't be dumb.
Whistle blowers dead in random
acts of violence, saying that
it's suicide, just be silent.
You're in for a long ride,
digging deeper, leading to
entangled relations, trying to
hide digital guillotine, rarely
seen, canceling, hardly a
culture suitable even for a
team. But parents excuse bad
behavior as a new day, how they
play the bad music for their
kids in the car every day. Used
to be a way we would talk to our
old folks. Politics were not
serious. People knew it was just
jokes. I mean, just jokes, huh?
It was just jokes. Folks saying,
yeah, what's that in your mouth?
What's that in your mouth?
John C Dvorak: But I'll tell you
the thesis, the current thesis,
What's
Adam Curry: that in your mouth?
Unknown: And try to flirt.
Then I know when I see
one never learn to read and
write
like everybody needs to be woke
early onset dementia, and also
some problems with menopausal
complications,
but just a more woke than less
woke,
and no brains at all. You see,
today is going to be tomorrow.
So since it's going to be
tomorrow, today, we have
tomorrow, which is why we are
now like, What did you say?
Short
change? By the Lord and dumped
the jackass.
We have to stay woke.
Where'd you get your blackness
from seeing you faking it again,
listening to her words silent in
the way she talks, and the
brains are told
like, everybody needs to be
woke,
she lacked professional
competence, and she worked on it
by hiking up her hemline when
she needed influence, rather
than research, changed
by the Lord and dumb as a
jackass.
And then you get somebody that's
easy to control because she's
laced, but just ain't more woke
than less woke. Boo, what did
you just say? The worst human
beings you will ever find are
career prosecutors. So they
lied. She's still to win the
game and no brain at all. She's
always tried to do the casting
couch like everybody
needs to be woke.org/n.
A two Grumpy Old Men. You.
