John C Dvorak: She was a dipshit
Unknown: Adam curry.
John C Dvorak,
Adam Curry: Sunday, August, 25
2024 this is your award winning.
Give our nation media
assassination. Episode 1689,
Unknown: this is no agenda.
Adam Curry: Boosting Bobby and
broadcasting live from the heart
of the Texas hill country here
in FEMA Region. Number six in
the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry from
John C Dvorak: Northern Silicon
Valley, where we're wondering
whatever happened to John Tesh.
John Tesh, I'm John C Dvorak
Adam Curry: buzzkill, isn't he?
Hanging out on an island with
Kenny G. John Tesh sold a lot of
records. I'll have you know,
John C Dvorak: did he now? Yeah,
well, he was always on PBS. The
reason I bring this up because
the PBS keeps showing these.
Does anyone
Adam Curry: even know? Does
anyone even know who John Tesh
is? He
John C Dvorak: wasn't that kind
of pathetic if he sold as many
records as you say, well, but he
was, nobody knows who he is
anymore. Well,
Adam Curry: he was most known
for his stint, as we'd say,
stint on Entertainment Tonight.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he was the
guy he go to, guy he was,
Adam Curry: he was the guy with,
uh, what was her name? What was
her name?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, see Nancy
Cordes, I have no oh
Adam Curry: no, no, no, no, no.
And then later he was with Lee's
Gibbons.
John C Dvorak: Uh, yes, please
remember that. And
Adam Curry: Yanni, of course, he
toured with Yanni. He did
whatever happened to Yanni?
Wait, didn't he marry Barbara
Streisand?
John C Dvorak: No. Barbara
Streisand is married to this
actor. All right, who
Adam Curry: is John Tesh married
to, I don't know, Connie Celica.
John C Dvorak: Oh, she's no, you
knew just off the top of your
head. I want to point that out,
but
Adam Curry: of course, I mean,
this is me. This is this is why
there's two of us. You know,
someone's got to have all the
good stuff.
John C Dvorak: Well, he was used
to do all these concerts for the
PBS broadcasting system. And
that sort of reminded me,
because I was watching one of
these things. So they they keep
interrupting it, Dad, beg for
money.
Adam Curry: Why were you wait?
So you were watching it, and you
were actually annoyed they
interrupted John Tesh concert.
Is that what I'm
John C Dvorak: no, no, they
haven't shown a John Tesh
concert for a decade or more.
It's just they interrupt all the
concerts, and then they Oh
Adam Curry: yeah, and then they
offer it to you on DVD, like
anyone has a DVD player, right
anymore?
John C Dvorak: Or Yes, DVD or
Blu Ray, and it said, came to
mind. I said, Whatever happened
to John Tesh? Yeah, okay. Well,
he was a piano player.
Adam Curry: I would say more
synth, synth guy. He was New
Age. So synth, synth, synth,
synth, all right, before we get
into the obvious that we must
talk about since Bobby The Op,
yeah, before we get into Bobby
on, before we get into Bobby The
Op, we need to go to the next
op.
Unknown: Now, the billionaire
founder of encrypted messaging
app Telegram has been arrested
in France, was reportedly
detained after his private jet
landed at the Bourget Airport
outside Paris. Telegram is one
of the most downloaded apps in
the world, and it's particularly
popular in Russia, but it's
focused privacy has raised
questions about its use by
criminals. So let's find a
little bit more about this Molly
Malone is here with me. Hi,
Molly.
So just a bit about who he is.
This is not exactly a household
name. He's Russian, born, gained
French citizenship a few years
ago, but he's really famed for
founding this encrypted private
messaging app, telegram. And
suggestions in French local
media this morning that the
arrest and potential
investigation relates to this
app for its potential lack of
moderation and potential
criminal activity, because it's
actually not
potentially as well known here
as it is across the globe. It's
one of the most downloaded apps
after the likes of Instagram,
WhatsApp, Facebook, with upwards
of 950 million users. It's an
encrypted private messaging app,
effectively protecting data from
being intercepted with, as you
said, a big focus on privacy.
It's been in recent years,
particularly popular in Russia
and Ukraine. It was actually
banned back in 2018 in Russia
because it's of its refusal to
release data.
John C Dvorak: So first of all,
before you continue, I had, I
have no clips on this. I'm
actually stunned. But I'm not
not disappointed, just stunned
that you brought this into the
Adam Curry: What do you mean?
Stunned? You Are you surprised
that I brought this? Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: am kind of
because it wasn't something I
was thinking about, just another
guy. I mean, this has been going
on. This is a long standing
let's start, if we want to go to
the beginning, yeah, we have to
remember when Phil Zimmerman,
they went after him. PGP, I
don't know, 30 years ago for
PGP, it was 30 years ago. I
think it was a while ago. Yes.
Sure, and they tried to get to
rest the guy and throw him in
jail, because the governments,
these these fascist governments
that are running the world, do
not like the idea that people
can whisper to each other, which
is what this amounts to. This is
they would love it. So if I
whispered into somebody's ear,
they would they could record it
and keep it to use against me,
if possible, but they can't seem
to get to that point yet. And
now it turns out that kim.com
they're really going after him.
He's been complaining a little
bit on Twitter, to grab him
somehow he's not even an
American citizen, but to do the
same thing as he did with
Assange and arrest him for
violating American laws. Okay,
Adam Curry: well, let's not get
distracted yet. From from Pavel,
now, I
John C Dvorak: just want a
backgrounder. Yeah,
Adam Curry: well, and I think
that is the general consensus a
couple of things. One, every
report says he was arrested at
boujee airport. It's le boujee
airport. It's very annoying to
hear this. I don't know why
they're not. You know, it'd be
like Kennedy Airport is John F
Kennedy Airport? Le Bouchet, the
rumble CEO jumps on the train by
posting on x.
John C Dvorak: Oh, I just wait a
minute. Why does he just post on
rumble? Chris Pavlovsky,
Adam Curry: I've just safely
departed from Europe. France has
threatened rumble now they've
crossed a red line by arresting
telegram CEO Pavel Durov,
reportedly for not censoring
speech. Rumble will not stand
for this behavior. We'll use
every legal means. Blah, blah,
blah, okay, so he's jumping on
the train and and that is the
the general response from people
is, and of course, what we've
heard is no, as far as I know,
there's no actual official
announcement, but he is be, was,
I think, I think it was Reuters
says he's being charged with
terrorism, narcotic, supply,
fraud, money laundering,
receiving stolen goods,
pornography with miners, because
he didn't moderate. He doesn't
have moderate he doesn't have
poor moderation tools. So first
Are you? Do you use telegram at
all?
John C Dvorak: As a matter of
fact? No, no,
Adam Curry: and I use it because
I detest it. I really don't
John C Dvorak: like telegram.
You said this before years ago.
Adam Curry: I find it
cumbersome. Now, many dudes
named Ben swear by it, of
course, because of its apparent
security, I presume it's it's
secure that you have end to end
encryption. I've not really even
checked it. You can report
people and block people those
there's some kind of moderating
going on somewhere, I guess, but
it's tedious, you know. So
people have these channels and
you can, and often you're unless
you have the settings set
properly, you are auto joined to
a channel. All of your sudden,
you have some bitcoin thing. And
a lot of the Bitcoin people are
on, I'd say most of the Bitcoin
people who aren't also on noster
are on telegram. I see this a
little differently, though. I
think that this move coming
right now, and Pavel, he's a
billionaire, he didn't make it
off a telegram. Because as far
as I know, no one paid. Does
anyone pay for telegram? Is
there any business model there
for payment? They're
John C Dvorak: asking the wrong
guy. Well,
Adam Curry: I'm asking in
general, maybe the troll room
knows. I don't think that
there's a payment necessary. He
did have a payment
cryptocurrency, which went to
basically zero upon this news.
Surprise, surprise. So there was
some kind of, although that's
not even mentioned in any of the
allegations that I heard of but
I think this is something
different. Telegram is is used
extensively by, I would say by
our United States operatives to
stir up stuff. How many times
have we heard? Oh, this the,
this particular revolution, this
color revolution, was started on
telegram amid some sketchy guys
in Germany on telegram. I think
that this is more marketing than
anything. It wouldn't surprise
me if Pavel is is led off quite,
quite soon, he'll be, he'll be
sent on his merry way.
John C Dvorak: That's the,
actually, the first thing I
thought of, Oh, good. Well,
Adam Curry: you didn't see it,
so I get dibs. That's funny. I
John C Dvorak: don't care. But
to see, it seems to me, and I'd
say that because of your
attitude toward it, which is
that you've always been
skeptical of its true safety
well, and yeah, and it seems to
me that if the thing is really
full of holes and actually has
back doors, the arrest the guy,
and make it sound as though
there's nothing wrong with this,
it's a great but. Secret thing.
If you want to do secret
communications, please use this.
Don't use anything else. I'm
Adam Curry: saying something
different, though. I'm saying
I'm not questioning its its
encryption and its privacy. I
think that it's what the
intelligence communities and the
State Department and the, you
know, the the people who make
trouble around the world,
Victoria Nuland, I think they're
annoyed by x, and they really
want to control things by
starting stuff. And when it
comes from Telegram, oh, this is
a secure app. This guy's got to
be for real. To me, it feels
more like everybody use
telegram. Don't use x I think
beyond actually, didn't he
promise that we'd get secure
DMing. Never saw that happen.
John C Dvorak: I don't remember.
Yeah, there was an
Adam Curry: end to end
encryption promise somewhere.
But no, I it's to me, this is
more like everybody you've got.
Please use telegram. It's
secure. See, we got this guy
because it's because it can't be
moderated. Everybody use that,
don't use x, where, where, Elon
control, because there's no
algorithms in telegram. It's
just, you know, chat channels or
direct messaging. That, to me,
it feels like this is something
else is going on, and it's and
it's marketing for people who
like to stir up crap in
countries and would prefer
people to use something that,
although they don't control
directly, they can control the
perception that it's real when
they
John C Dvorak: get to the next
level, which is they do control
it directly. Well, then they're
monitoring it. That's
Adam Curry: what happened with
WhatsApp. I mean, WhatsApp had
that promise. Remember when
WhatsApp was cool and you paid
$1 a year and they had millions,
like 100 million, people using
it?
John C Dvorak: I remember that I
again, was another non user.
Yeah, I'm too busy.
Adam Curry: Hold up. Well, you
cannot communicate with
Europeans almost without using
WhatsApp. Everybody uses
WhatsApp in Europe, and I
certainly don't trust WhatsApp.
I
John C Dvorak: could send him a
DM. I could call it, make a call
on the phone. Yeah, I can
communicate with Europeans
without using your WhatsApp.
You're
Adam Curry: being a technical
person. Now, of course you can,
but Europeans prefer WhatsApp
over SMS, text messaging and
anything else. They prefer it.
That's where the family have
groups, and it's bigger than
iMessage. And also, of course,
because iMessage is not as
prevalent in Europe, people are
poor there. The poor saps can't
afford an iPhone, so they're all
on Android, cheap Android.
Unknown: So anyway,
Adam Curry: I, I'm, I'm
suspicious of this action. I'm
very suspicious of it.
John C Dvorak: And will you
should be,
Adam Curry: yes, I, I know
you're not bumping the mic, but
something is is booming. I know
what that could be, okay, well,
then it's fine. All right, we
kind of knew this was happening
on Thursday. We were just
waiting for the announcement. It
happened on cue,
John C Dvorak: exactly as we
said, yes, it
Adam Curry: wasn't like was a
big secret. Do you before we go
to Bobby the OP. Do you want to
finish up the DNC and and the
final evening of of joy, or
actually, non joy, because both
of us were wrong on our
predictions. There was not a
single cackle, let alone three.
John C Dvorak: No, no, there was
one.
Adam Curry: It was a cat. It
wasn't a cackle. It was a cat
car. It wasn't a
John C Dvorak: was it was
enough. It was enough of a
cackle that I think it would
count if you were taking bets.
Adam Curry: Well, I You said, No
cackles. I said, three. So
neither of us win there? No.
John C Dvorak: I said, the over
and unders, 2.5 Okay, you win.
Adam Curry: But there was no I
know Donald Trump. I know his
type. She didn't. She didn't
pull that one out. Now, did she
John C Dvorak: that was, well,
you and I both agreed that she
would, yeah, of course. In fact,
you made a big stink about, oh,
that's not much of a bet.
Adam Curry: Is that how I said
it? So we were both thinking,
uncanny, how you nail my my
voice. It was,
John C Dvorak: it was, and I
know I can do it. I tried to
avoid it, but I can't. I
Adam Curry: do have the clip of
what she did say about Trump.
It's about a minute and a half.
It was one of the what was the
count? I was like hundreds of
times during this convention
they talked about Trump, which
is kind of interesting. Here's,
sorry, interesting. It was
interesting.
John C Dvorak: No, I know, I
don't know what you're getting
at. You're asking me a question.
No,
Adam Curry: I was not asking you
a question. Oh, yeah. Here is
what the Vice Presidential, Vice
President, a presidential
nominee, said about four. Former
President Trump ha but
Unknown: the consequences of
putting Donald Trump back in the
White House are extremely
serious. Consider what he
intends to do if we give him
power again. Consider, consider
explicit intent to set free
violent extremists who assaulted
those law enforcement officers
at the Capitol.
Adam Curry: This was there was a
lot of lot of lying going on.
John C Dvorak: The amount of
lying is unbelievable. Well,
Adam Curry: unfortunately,
unfortunately, it works. You
know it works. People hear these
things over and over again, and
they're certain that it's true.
His explicit
Unknown: intent to jail
journalists. No,
John C Dvorak: he's kind of
jail.
Adam Curry: His explicit, I
don't think I've heard that.
Have you heard
John C Dvorak: was an explicit
intent,
Unknown: okay, intent to jail
journalists, political opponents
and anyone he sees as the enemy,
his explicit intent. Why
Adam Curry: do you think she's
using the term explicit intent?
John C Dvorak: It reminds me of
the I don't know if I have this
clip, I probably don't, but of
the guy who, who, who ran into a
woman? Oh, no, I don't have it.
This is the kind of a redneck
character talking about how he
ran into a woman who claims she
saw Donald Trump. It was, it was
a veteran. I saw that. Yeah, the
veteran, he says they saw Trump,
say, watched him say, losers and
suckers, which is yes, yes, yes.
And he there, and he said, Well,
he looked into it, of course,
because he didn't know better to
know it was bull crap, but he
looked into him. There is no
video of this, but she saw it.
And so I think the idea is to
drum into people's brains that
explicit intent means he said
it. Try to visualize him saying
it, and you will eventually
imagine he actually saying it on
the podium, because he says a
lot. So he could Yes, and I
Adam Curry: understand that. But
the term explicit intent is,
it's notable. I'm not sure there
must be. We need Scott Adams,
the professional hypnotist, to
tell us why she's using
John C Dvorak: that. There's
probably actually, in this case,
Scott might have an answer,
yeah, there's some persuasive
Adam Curry: mechanism to it to
Unknown: deploy our active duty
military against our own
citizens.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, gonna come
and start shooting people.
Unknown: There's,
John C Dvorak: I think there's,
I don't know if
Adam Curry: you there's a law
against that that's not actually
legal. I don't tell you,
whatever doesn't
John C Dvorak: matter. He's
gonna be from day one. Just want
to do it. He's
Adam Curry: gonna do it. He's
gonna do it. You want to say
something else?
John C Dvorak: I was did? No,
just play these out, because
there's one in this group. Well,
actually, I, before you even
continue this, I want to play
what something? Well, because I
Okay, no, this just fits right
in. I want you to, let's see, I
think it's a DN, I want you to
play. DNC, Camela two, because
it what you're playing. And
early in the speech, she says
the following, this is Kamla to
respect. They
Unknown: instilled in us the
values they personified,
community, faith and the
importance of treating others as
you would want to be treated
with kindness, respect and
compassion.
John C Dvorak: Okay, so she's
been drummed into her to treat
others the way she'd like to be
treated with kindness and
passion and all the rest of it.
And meanwhile, you're playing
these clips. This is an example
of treating others by lying
about them, I guess. So
consider,
Unknown: consider the power he
will have, especially after the
United States Supreme Court just
ruled that he would be immune
from criminal prosecution, but
you
Adam Curry: will have the same
power. Ms Harris, it wasn't just
for him, it was for all
presidents, and it wasn't really
what you're saying. It is, but
not at all. Okay, that sounds
scary.
Unknown: Just imagine, imagine
Donald Trump with no guardrails.
Oh no, my voice is skipping, and
how he
would use the immense powers of
the presidency of the United
States, how not to improve your
life, not to strengthen our
national security, but to serve
the only client he has ever had
himself. I.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it was
great. That was good. Oh, so you
didn't get what I was hoping
for. Oh, what were you hoping
for? The one where she goes,
this is part of her litany. She
says he's going to set up a
commission to track abortions
and every miscarriage and see
what, what he's going to track
all the miscarriages and crack
down on abortions. It's
Adam Curry: also the IVF. Thing
is, is just astounding that
there is, this is not a a
talking point. It's not in
Project 2025, there was one
Alabama guy, Supreme Court. Just
Supreme Court, Justice in
Alabama, one who who said, Well,
you know, we've got to treat
these, these embryos, embryos,
as children and and this, if
anything, has been successful as
that is the IVF thing. It's
really odd, all the way up to
Michelle Obama admitting, for
the first time in history, as
far as I know, that she well,
you had the clip that that one
of her children, maybe both,
were born through IVF. This is
new. This is groundbreaking.
This is breaking.
John C Dvorak: I never knew
that. And Trump has gone on and
said that he's going to protect
IVF as much as he can. He's
everything she says is a blatant
lie, pretty much. And it's like,
and everyone's eating it up. So
Adam Curry: not everyone, John,
I would just say dimension B is
eating it up. It's, it's their
rocket fuel. They're fired up
fire. I
John C Dvorak: have, I have more
than a couple of clips here. Can
Adam Curry: I just give an
overall impression of Harris and
waltz after having watched the
Thursday evening festivities?
Yeah, sure. They are just like
American food processed. Oh,
here we go, filled with soy and
sugar and marketed with rainbow
colors. That's what they are.
And this and people want it.
People eat that. They like it.
Mmm, yummy. It's good soy sugar.
Mmm, pretty colors. So it makes
sense that there's a large
portion of the population that
is all in on it.
John C Dvorak: Well, that brings
me to some funny clips. But
before we get to that, I do want
to play this, because I this was
on Democracy Now, and you can
put the warning up.
Adam Curry: Oh, okay, yes. Amy
trigger warning, yes.
John C Dvorak: So this is the
clip. Is DNC covered up
protests. There was actually
this was not reported by the
mainstream media. Amy picked it
up, and they had a video of it
because she happened to be
sitting in the audience near it.
And I was actually kind of
surprised by the way it was all
coordinated. I guess everyone
was clued in on how to cover up
any sort of protest that took
place on the on the convention
floor. Play this
Unknown: morning AMY GOODMAN
cliff and bound a few minutes
into President Biden's remarks.
Three delegates, part of
delegates against genocide,
dropped a banner that read, stop
arming Israel. We were inside
the convention floor, right next
to the Florida delegation where
it happened. While some
delegates snatched the banner
away, many others of the Florida
delegation quickly raised Joe
Biden placards that said, thank
you, Joe and we love Joe, to
block any view of the banner.
The protesting delegates who
dropped the banner were quickly
escorted from the convention
floor by security straight
Adam Curry: to the vasectomy
mobile took care of them. Well,
I do have one protest clip from
outside, and they've taken a new
a new bent on on the
alliteration of any name, like
cackling Kamala. They've got a
better 1000s.
Unknown: Marched through the
streets of Chicago, home to one
of the largest Palestinian
communities in the United
States. It's the final night of
the Democratic National
Convention. Throughout the week,
these protests have made it
clear which issue most divides
the party.
The only way I'm voting for her
is she calls for an arms embargo
on Israel.
Those hoping for an end to
military support for Israel,
however, won't be won over by
Kamala Harris's speech as she
accepted her party's nomination
for president. I will
always ensure Israel has the
ability to defend itself. Around
a dozen delegates to the
convention remain sat outside
until the final hours. They
represent the uncommitted
movement, a pro Palestinian
campaign which, during the
primaries, mobilized hundreds of
1000s of voters to withhold
their support for President Joe
Biden. Did they push for a
Primetime speaking slot for a
Palestinian to address the
bloodshed in Gaza? But in the
end, mention of it within the
convention hall was limited.
Gaza is watching and seeing that
this party that we hold dear to
our hearts, that we know holds
human rights dear, is not even
letting
my Palestinian siblings speak.
Vice
President Harris did again call
for a ceasefire if that's not
achieved soon. One party donor
is reportedly worried that
protests could again erupt at
universities as they reopen for
the new term.
Adam Curry: Ah, they're not done
yet. Okay, you won't let us do
it at the DNC, they didn't even
have a Palestinian American on
stage, even Jon Stewart made
note of that, which I thought
was interesting.
John C Dvorak: They're not gonna
do that. No, well,
Adam Curry: of course not. I
mean, the what I found
disappointing is, you know,
there were a couple of funny
people who were doing funny
stuff inside, a la Alex Stein,
99 obviously he wasn't there. I
think at this point he's even in
costume. He's too recognizable.
Alex stranger, who is the
pedicab guy from Austin who I
voted for in the mayoral race
years back because he wanted to
put a dome over Austin and give
flamethrowers to teachers, which
I thought was an outstanding
platform, uh, he, he was in
there doing a bit that was so
good, or at least so convincing
to whoever he was doing that to
as
John C Dvorak: the BBC. Oh, the
BBC, yeah, British Broadcasting
suckers.
Adam Curry: But we had, uh,
suckers, you spell with an
astronaut to see we had our own
people saying, Look at this.
Look at this leftist cook. Like,
yes, you don't see this. And
then the,
John C Dvorak: especially this
stuff about the black lover's
wife's black lover teaching him
about civil rights or something.
Adam Curry: And then the then
the comedian. I don't know if
he's gay or not, but he was
certainly acting very feminine.
I
John C Dvorak: have clips from
him. Oh, okay, what's this is a
guy. His name is Lionel mcgloin.
People also
Adam Curry: took him seriously.
They didn't realize that was a
gag. It was
John C Dvorak: a gag. Not only
that, but somebody put a clip on
Twitter where he did the same
thing at the Republican National
Convention. The guy's a comic,
yeah, so he plays characters,
and then the Republican
Convention, I don't have any of
those, because they're not very
funny, because the Republicans
weren't buying it. And the guy
was in there. He was he had a
big hat, giant hat, on in the
and he had Texas action. He
talked like this, Oh, good. And
he and he tried to convince
everyone. He said, Texas a big
house for Jesus or something he
was doing. And they but they
were just not buying it. And
they there was nothing. They got
out. It was funny. But so he
goes to the Democrat convention,
and he acts unbelievably gay, to
the point where I don't know, is
this guy really gay? It might be
even gay guys, like, I don't
know, man, well, he ran into one
gay guy who was always going to
want to date him. And so I have
like five. These are very, oh,
you really went for it. Okay.
Good, good, good, good. 123,
yeah, there's five or six very
short clips. But he went, but he
got, he got gold when he was
there. And I the thing was
linked in the newsletter. If you
have the newsletter, you can
just go to the long version of
the bit. You
Adam Curry: put it in the
newsletter. It was good.
John C Dvorak: So I want to play
just a few of these things, just
to show you what was going on.
And the Democrats just fell for
it. And I think the and I was
thinking about why the guy was
so
Adam Curry: gay, they're afraid.
They're afraid to say anything.
They were
John C Dvorak: afraid to say
anything. And they figured he
boy, he's got to be a Democrat.
Adam Curry: Although we know
that there's a lot of gay
Republicans. There's
John C Dvorak: probably as many
as Democrats, but they're
little, they're less. This guy
acted like a flamer, which is an
old term, yes. Okay, so for
example, this is a good example.
He goes up, he's, and he's going
up, he's, he ran into Kellyanne
Conway.
Adam Curry: Hold on, what
happened? Kellyanne Conway, is
she? Is this a new mask, or did
she have some unbelievable work
done?
John C Dvorak: She had some work
done. Let's face it, not some
dude, they kind of, she looks 20
years younger. All those pointy
Adam Curry: features have been
shaved down. And something
happened. Yeah, something
happened.
John C Dvorak: So he went up to
her, and he was giving her and
she was she was pretty affable.
She wasn't like, making a fool
of herself, like when she I'm
going to go from the from the
top here, this is he, he goes
and sits down with Nadler, fat
Nadler, Jerry Nadler, from New
York. There's only, like, this
is 11 seconds, but, but this was
the theme of what he was
accomplishing by playing this
character. Character and going
up to various Democrats, and
they were buying it like there
was no tomorrow. And this little
clip is actually disgusting.
This
Unknown: year it'd be so brat,
have a higher tax rate for rich
white men.
Well, if we have a Democratic
Congress, we certainly will.
Yeah,
baby, tax those rich old ladies.
Come on.
Adam Curry: He was all over the
brat, wasn't he? Everything was
brat.
John C Dvorak: Was a brat. In
fact, yes, he made the he did
the brat thing for to an
extreme, and that's why he
called these clips brat. He goes
up to Leticia James, the
prosecutor in New York, and this
happens. Are
Unknown: you worried Donald
Trump's going to weaponize the
justice system if he gets some
power? I'm concerned about
Project 2025 and it's important
that individuals understand that
project 2025 basically
consolidates power in the hands
of one dangerous man. And so
it's really critical you're
prosecuting his political
enemies. Exactly.
You're even more beautiful in
person. Oh, I love him. I love
you. Thank you so
Adam Curry: much. That's
fantastic. That is so good. And
the lie that project 2025,
consolidates, no, it doesn't
consolidate anything
John C Dvorak: in what in the
hands of one evil dictator. And
Adam Curry: here's a prosecutor
who should know her documents.
Did not read it. Yeah, it's a
flowery policy, flowery policy
pile of
John C Dvorak: Well, I think
your point about Project 2025,
being written by AI, yeah, needs
to be taken to into account.
There anyone talks about
Adam Curry: 30 pages of the
intro is just about themselves,
about how awesome each person is
who contributed to it, and then
this whole thing, the rest of
the 930 pages could have, you
know, could be 30 pages itself,
but you run it through jeeps,
chat, GPT, like flowered up
baby, and that's what you get
paragraphs with, run on
sentences, just hundreds of
words you should, you should
look at it just for, for yucks
you won't get past. And in one
chapter,
John C Dvorak: so here he runs
into some guy who's defending
walls as he goes after walls as
he makes a point that walls is
representing a body positive
image. This is good body
positivity, which means, you
know, Waltz is just a friend of
fat guy, and so, so we get this
exchange. We
Unknown: have women of color,
and we also have Tim waltz. What
a great example for the body
positive community. What do you
think Tim waltz can be as an
inspiration for body positive
people?
A young man came to him and
said, We want to have a gay club
here at our high school. And he
said, I want to lead that,
because I need to be he's
like a gay leader.
Adam Curry: Hey, this guy.
What's his name? Again, the
comedian
John C Dvorak: mccloyne and Mick
The Lionel McCloy,
Adam Curry: I would say he could
be a stringer for gut felt or
maybe water should, should hire
him and send him out on the
streets. You know, he can
clearly do multiple types of
characters. He's got a gig with
this. I could, I feel a gig, you
know, it's
John C Dvorak: definitely one of
the most aggressive things I've
seen. And he and he did it for
probably hours, and he played
this character, this, this
ridiculous. He was doing all
kinds of bits in between these,
these small interviews, he runs
into a random gay, obviously, a
gay kid, a cute little gay kid.
And this, this exchange takes
place,
Unknown: is Kamala so us. She's
so us because she's brat. She is
so brat. What does brat mean?
Brat is like, you're like a
party girl, but like you go out
at really late at night, and
like you fall asleep with all
your makeup on. And, I mean, I
have to love Kamala being in a
menage a try at one point.
Adam Curry: You know, the thing
is, and this, this is a huge
weakness for, for, you know,
this dementia B collection of
people, I'm not even going to
call them Democrats. This is,
this is a particular type of
people who, who, who are just
completely brainwashed, MK
Ultra, in a way, anybody can go
up and act gay, and immediately
there'll be, I mean, you could
do it without, by the way,
that's a great idea. Gay Dvorak,
going in, hey, hey, Brad, hey,
girlfriend,
Unknown: you could do
John C Dvorak: it. My gay is, is
not that great. I mean, I always
do it. I sound like I. Sound
like a 60s I stereotype gay,
yeah, you
Adam Curry: should just talk
about, oh, what's the, what's
the big festival with the old,
the old fat dudes run around
naked in San Francisco.
John C Dvorak: There's a day
they run around naked in San
Francisco, over in
Adam Curry: the in the
tenderloin, they all run. They
all run around, yes,
John C Dvorak: oh, you're
talking. Oh no, no, yeah, I know
what you're thinking of. You're
thinking of the Folsom Street
Fair. Yes, yes, yeah, you
Adam Curry: could be one of
those guys. Oh, yeah, I
John C Dvorak: did. And by the
Adam Curry: way, with chaps, not
all gay guys talk like this at
all
John C Dvorak: they do around
here. But that's
Adam Curry: my case in point,
you could get in anywhere I you
can get interviews with with
tech leaders.
John C Dvorak: Well, most of
them are gay, so maybe, Ah,
there you go. Hello, everybody.
So now I do have two before we
continue on this list. If you go
to rat, v, r, a T, I forgot I
had two of these. These are the
ones that are misspelled, brat
with a V, yes. So I got Ed
Markey of the senator from
Massachusetts, falling for it,
and they go back and forth and
listen to this idiot. So some
Unknown: Gen Z doubters of
Kamala have noted her record
persecuting people for weed. I'm
a stoner. I use it for PTSD. Do
you think that era is so over?
She's so over that I think
that even in the period of the
Biden Harris administration,
they have been working very hard
in order to say, no, what
about like Coke and stuff? It
should be, what about like coke
in her
I would have to look at it, but
to decriminalize
the drugs, baby coke for the
boys, oh man,
Adam Curry: oh man. These people
are so stupid. They're so
stupid. Oh man. They can't even
they're so afraid of offending
someone who just happens to be
gay or flamboyant,
John C Dvorak: is what he is,
flamboyant, flamboyant,
Adam Curry: flamboyant. They're
so worried about being called
out for something that they'll
just, they go along with
everything. This is what I'm
synthetic. I'm gonna start. I'm
gonna start using this. Hey,
hey, if I want something from
you, I'll just try it. Hey, so
John C Dvorak: here comes, yeah,
that's gonna work, yeah. So
here's the second brat clip,
which is the cam. This is where
he runs into some just a regular
delegate, and they go about how
great camel's laugh is. No
Unknown: the best Kamala laugh
ever. Oh, my God, she has a best
laugh. Joy, we love joy. How do
we guarantee equity of joy?
Equity
of joy will flow forth from
Kamala. It's a just a given, and
part of hope
we are manifesting. It's coming.
People say vibes don't matter,
but we are manifesting our
nation.
Adam Curry: So these are the
people that actually, these are
delegates. These are people who
determine who's running, who's,
uh, yes, this is great. This is,
this is, this is, this is what
democracy looks like, yes.
John C Dvorak: And here I got
two left, and they're both,
again, short. This is a here he
is with a young now, this is an
attractive woman, a young D and
she's from DC, and she's a
delegate and and they go into
this is just so off the wall.
It's just kind of surprises me.
Unknown: Where are the cuties in
the Democratic Party that are
speaking?
Oh, I don't know. Talk to anyone
who lives in DC. It's hard to
find a cute Democrat.
Oh, my God, shots fired.
No, that's, I mean, that's the
team. Ask anyone who lives in DC
and who works in democratic
politics, it's hard to find the
cute ones. Republican
eyes are hotter, yeah, but
they're evil. So, like, I don't
know we
kind of love evil. Oh, my God,
you're so bad.
Adam Curry: Wow. Democrats in DC
are ugly. That's what she said,
John C Dvorak: wow. And then the
final one, I
Adam Curry: just stop and think
about that for a second. Why
John C Dvorak: Democrats, if you
think about it, generally
speaking, are not the most
attractive people. Just think of
Jamie Raskin as a typical
Democrat. Well, they
Adam Curry: have Dark Souls,
some of them, but I'm okay.
John C Dvorak: I think comes out
in the face, yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah, yeah. It's
not, it's not healthy.
John C Dvorak: No, it's
obviously not healthy. And this
girl reflected in now, this one,
this last clip, is kind of a two
parter, because first he runs
into Harry Sisson, or whatever
his name is, the influencer,
creepy guy and and Sisson won't
play along with the idea that he
was going to ask him a series of
questions, and you're supposed
to respond yes or no. Queen, now
I don't know if this is some
sort of a gay game or something,
but the idea is I ask you a
question. You say yes. Queen. No
Queen Sisson wouldn't play the
game. So he clips it right
straight to this woman, another
attractive delegate. She's this
girl is really pretty.
Adam Curry: So there are pretty
Democrats, just not in DC, not
John C Dvorak: in DC, but this,
this girl was pretty, but she
was, she was a dipshit. So, so
the pretty Democrats are dumb
shits, and this girl, if you
listen to some of these
questions, like he wants her to
affirm that it would be good to
give illegal alien sex changes.
And think, I mean the questions,
this guy's over the top, and
he's this is great. He's on a
roll. And he really got on a
roll with this girl. And we
again, we finish it up the way
we started it with tax rich
white guys, and here we go.
Unknown: One vinyl game, yes,
queen or no. Queen, okay,
I'll give you a yes or no. How
about that? Okay, amazing. Can
you do yes queen or no? Cleaner.
Oh, really. Free abortions. Yes.
Queen, free gender affirming
care for migrants, yes. Queen,
social child tax credits for
dogs, yes. Queen, Ban
standardized testing, yes.
Queen, my ADD is so crazy. Get
rid of those things, please.
Yes. Queen, Yeah, amazing.
Different tax rate for white
men, yes. Queen Amen says they
love you. Love her energy. She's
a yes. Queener,
Adam Curry: wow,
Unknown: wow.
Adam Curry: I'm gonna do that
with you. I'm just gonna say
yes. Queen, whenever I really
disagree with you, I'm just
gonna throw out a yes, yes.
Queen, there is, there is,
however, the curry Dvorak
Consulting Group was not
contracted nor consulted for the
Democrat party this year, and
they've made a rookie mistake,
where they have, of course,
hooked their wagon to the brat
summer, which is why this guy
did all the brat stuff. Now we
could have told them that it's
very risky to attach your
campaign. And as we know, the
Harris HQ X account has taken on
the the brat summer green,
everything is brat. She's brat.
Brat, this brat that these
trends are fleeting and very and
I mentioned this in passing to
at least this morning. She's
still with us. Couple more. I
said, like, 10 more days before
she go goes
John C Dvorak: back. More days a
good material. Yes, good before
she goes
Adam Curry: back to Brooklyn.
She's a Zoomer. And I said,
because I'd seen, I'd not heard
your clips, but I'd seen the
word brat. And I said, Oh,
John's all in on brat. And she
says, Oh, ah, doesn't he know
that brat is over. I'm like, oh.
He says, Oh yes, it's demure
autumn.
John C Dvorak: No, we did that.
We had the clip about demure
autumn. Well,
Adam Curry: it's gone a little
further than your clip. Let's
not forget to be demure divas.
Unknown: You guys already know
how I come to work. Always very
demure, very mindful, sort of
like tiktoker Jules LeBron, who
recently sparked the terms
demure and mindful to have a
viral bout of usage across
Tiktok. Very demure,
very mindful, very demure, very
mindful,
very demure,
very mindful.
In early August 2024 Jules
posted several videos about how
she presents herself when going
to work, describing her look as
very demure, very mindful. I
don't do too much. I'm very
mindful while I'm at work, very
demure. I don't wear too much
makeup. I'm very modest. I'm
very mindful. You see my shirt?
Only a little chichi out, not my
Chocho. Very demure, very
mindful. Her
earliest video using the phrase
garnered over 10 million views
in a week, and she continued to
post videos using her keywords,
demure, mindful, respectful and
cutesy, often explaining how to
achieve these qualities.
Tiktokers quickly took notice
and started using the terms in
their own content, like tiktoker
Hal Batty, who posted several
videos parodying jewels and
overusing the term demure, also
to the tune of millions of
views, my
heart is pure. I'm so demure.
I'm being serious. Keep it
demure.
These words blew up online over
the following days, even
spreading to x as users
continued employing them in
their videos, often ironically,
showcasing things that are not
exactly demure, like eating a
messy sandwich. Memers also took
note of the virality, creating
parodies and remixes of jules's
original videos and lots of
memes referencing the buzzwords
I
take my antidepressants every
Adam Curry: day. Very demure,
very mindful. There it is, very
demure, very mindful. That's,
well, I
John C Dvorak: want to call you
out here so you go to her and
say that John is in on Brad. And
I didn't even know what it was.
I've never been in on it, let
alone,
Adam Curry: no, I said, John is
all in. He has a whole bunch of
brat all in, is
John C Dvorak: what you said.
All in, I'm not all in, yes,
queen, I'm not all in. I didn't
queen,
Adam Curry: what I meant was,
you've had a lot of brat clips.
No, I
John C Dvorak: had one brat
clip. They're
Adam Curry: all. Labeled brat,
that's
John C Dvorak: all I saw. Oh,
no, this one, yeah, no, because
this guy presented himself as
but I
Adam Curry: didn't know. Look, I
don't listen to your clips, so
all I see is brat, Brad. Brat
Jones, yes, queen, all I saw was
Brad. Brad. Brat. So calm down.
Were you not? So
John C Dvorak: you assumed? No,
I know you're an ass out of you
and me. You're making your
Adam Curry: take your you are
taking this too far. I just
said, John's all in with the
brat clips. I didn't sit and say
you're all in on brat. You're,
you're, you're a okay,
John C Dvorak: you can dig
yourself out of the hole later.
I'll let you slide. I'm just
saying, yes, queen, she must
think, and you can stop that?
Adam Curry: I don't know if I
can. It's too good. All right,
let me switch gears for a
moment, because we were talking
just a minute ago about these
are the people who who are the
delegates who choose who is
going to run for the party. We
know that no one actually voted
for Kamala Harris, and it was
amazing to hear your governor,
California Governor Newsom,
John C Dvorak: with the pod.
Hope you got the part again. I
hope, I hope I got to try to
find this clip, because I noted
it down in the notepad. I went
back. You
Adam Curry: were too busy
clipping the brat guy. No, no,
no, no. I was,
John C Dvorak: I was looking for
somehow, the problem was, yeah,
on YouTube video, I wrote down
it was Democrat. It was this
Democrat 2024. Is something they
had a label. And so I go to look
it up on the search engine, and
there's like, 1000s of them.
They Fox did a very crappy job
of there's
Adam Curry: all kinds of stuff I
couldn't find that. Good stuff
is disappearing very quickly. I
had a couple of those myself.
Anyway, you might have the clip
I'm looking for. I
Unknown: hope so.
Adam Curry: I hope I'm trying to
regain a favor. Yes, queen, it's
contagious. Pod saves America,
which is a very pro Democrat
Party podcast. It's very
successful podcast has a whole
bunch of Obama people on the
podcast. They are now also
unionized that podcast, because
they're from crooked
John C Dvorak: media, so you're
trying to be funny. We won't
have to listen
Adam Curry: to them too long,
because they will go out of
business, and here they are with
Governor Newsom yucking it up,
laughing about the blatant
disregard for what they would
call democracy, and just
switching Harris or switching
Biden out for Harris.
Unknown: How you feeling about
the switch?
I mean,
the switch now we went through a
very open process. It
was bottom up.
You know that? Yes, that's what
the Blitz, primary,
30 minute convention. Yeah, it's
been
amazing, I would have, yeah,
it's been
amazing, but it is. What is
amazing is how unified everybody
Adam Curry: is next level. And
even making fun of Schumer with
the it's bottom up. It's
grassroots that, I mean, that
was like, wow, and they're just
laughing about it. They don't
care. These idiots, these
ladies.
John C Dvorak: Now, well, the
clip I was looking for, just to
bring it back and for, and I'll
just have to just, oh, this,
this wasn't the clip you were
looking for. No, the clip I was
looking for, he was being
interviewed by Brett bear. Oh,
save America. And he loves going
on Fox, by the way Newsome does,
and he always makes some comment
about being on Fox. I know this
is dangerous
Adam Curry: enemy territory
here. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: what he says? He
says that too. And he says, he
said that. Well, the last, you
know, the last number of years
have been disastrous, and the
camera's going to bring us out
of it and and it's going to be a
new a new way of go, going, a
new future, new way forward. And
Brett calls him, I said, Well,
the last number of years she was
in office, she was the Vice
President, you're talking about
the Biden administration, and
then Newsom, no, no, no. What I
meant was and he'd make some
sort of an excuse. And I was
thinking about this, why I
needed the clip. He did this on
purpose, and he did it on
purpose on that show too. I
think he is. He is doing little
bitty snipes because he doesn't
want Kamala to win. He wants to
be the nominee in 2028 if she
wins, pushing it off to 2032
Adam Curry: I cleaned up the
whole state. I put swept the
homeless under the carpet. I got
the Olympics coming. Yes, I
agree. It's, yeah, yeah. He's
doing he's he is a very sly one,
that Newsom. He's sleep.
John C Dvorak: But if you're
looking for it, you see it
because he is transparent.
Current. So the
Adam Curry: big mistake I feel
and I'm not sure, I'm not sure
who launched the rumors or, I
mean, all the news channels were
doing it, but this was the huge
disappointment, a
Unknown: super sized letdown for
the beehive, after rumors that a
star like Beyonce would make a
surprise appearance and perform
at the Democratic National
Convention would prove to be
just that, a rumor, a gap in
Thursday's program, leading fans
and convention goers to
speculate about a surprise guest
ahead of Harris' speech after an
already star studded convention
that included surprise speaker,
Oprah Winfrey a night earlier.
CB wonder pink, the chicks.
There were lots of fantastic
talent
there, but I know people were
hoping for a few other famous
faces to show up.
The Internet guessing everyone
from Dolly Parton to former
President George W Bush, another
notable Republican, Mitt Romney,
also named, but the Utah Senator
squashing that rumor, eagle eyed
Swifties also noticing a gap in
Taylor Swift's tour schedule,
but one of the most guests,
Beyonce freedom has become
central to the Harris walls
campaign, with the singer's
blessing, someone at the
convention posting a clip of a
Beyonce song at soundcheck,
which was viewed more than 1
million times. Then adding fuel
to the rumor fire, publications
like The Hill and TMZ, seeming
to confirm it. TMZ, Citing
multiple sources saying we're
told Chicago PD is on high alert
as it's involved in security for
Beyonce at the United Center
arena.
Adam Curry: So the way this
played in, in the controlled, I
don't want to say opportunists,
the Megyn Kelly's, I'll say the
Megyn Kelly's of the world. Oh,
they just did this to juice the
ratings, to juice the ratings. I
don't think so. These are just
idiots. The mainstream has no
inside track. They were the ones
walking around. Oh yeah, look.
But this curtain hasn't been
here for the past three nights.
Or something has come out. Oh,
there. Oh, we can hear some
drum. A drum battalion are
rehearsing back say it was all
bull crap
Unknown: and well, and it
Adam Curry: raised some
expectation. And I mean, I was
let down. I
John C Dvorak: think it was
done. I more in line with Megan
on this. I think that it was
done on purpose. It was done for
the purposes of keeping people
attentive. Why didn't
Adam Curry: they just actually
pay Beyonce to come out and do
it for anybody, for anybody.
John C Dvorak: I think it was
done on purpose, and the Taylor
Swift thing in particular, and
it was done on purpose to keep
people's attention. I think they
did a good job of that. It got
if TMZ is suckered, because
Harvey Levin is a Democrat,
insider, Trump hater. So there's
that. He's an insider, so he's
gladly go along with the
program. I think he may have
actually been part of the
scheme. But the thing that that
gets me is that I think this is
emblematic, and this is the you
say it was a, I think it was a
huge, uh, fundamental mistake by
the Democrat Party and and the
Harris campaign, because this is
a pro unkept promise, yes. So
everything she says is a lie,
yes. And the promises she makes
about tipping, for example,
there's no way if she says, Oh
yeah, no tax on tips, bull crap.
That is just a lie. She'll never
implement it. It's like, and I
think the Beyonce thing is
symbolic weight of the Democrat
lies and mis and misdirection.
It is it? It's a huge blunder.
Yes, it's
Adam Curry: a blunder. Do you
think it could have been done on
purpose?
John C Dvorak: I totally think
it was done on purpose. But I
Adam Curry: mean to submarine
Harris waltz.
John C Dvorak: Oh, that's a man
of look at it. That's an
interesting possibility.
Adam Curry: I mean, it was bad.
It was bad because, again, I
still have the content machine
here. She was like, Nah, Bae is
not going to do that. Queen Bee
not coming. And so she didn't
watch with us, you know, she she
said, Oh, what Beyonce? You
think Beyonce is going on after
Kamala says, no, no, she's not.
She's not coming. And she's a
huge Beyonce fan. And so she did
not watch. She was not
interested. She certainly wasn't
interested in stink. So I was
wrong. I'm with you. There
unkept promise, very, very bad,
and it felt more like sabotage
to me.
John C Dvorak: I'm not going to
argue against that thought.
Adam Curry: Yeah, one very quick
clip this, but it could
John C Dvorak: have also been
just a big screw it. And part of
a mentality of hoaxes, there you
go. I mean, let's face it, the
hoaxes that were rolled out in
all the speeches about Trump,
yeah, or just outrageous
everyone was doing, we didn't
really
Adam Curry: talk about it, but
even Biden bringing out the very
fine people lie and his goodbye
on the first night
John C Dvorak: I'm getting I
thought
Adam Curry: this was a very
funny part of the VPS
Unknown: speech for seniors
facing elder abuse.
Adam Curry: She was when I heard
that, like, Yes, I'm coming out.
I stand up for seniors against
elder abuse. You literally
abused an elder for years.
John C Dvorak: That's, I didn't
catch that for years. Very funny
that that's IVF
Adam Curry: level stuff. And did
you see, did you see this Pelosi
comment that everyone was
sending me also, very quick,
John C Dvorak: sure one where
she's talking about being a
lizard. Yes,
Unknown: they didn't know what
they were talking about. We know
our we're different from the
Presidential we're very
discreet,
reptilian, cold
blooded. These are the races we
have to win.
Adam Curry: So the couple things
so, you know, as the Democrat
Party has always told me,
believe them when they tell you
what you are. So I will believe
that. And she adds on to her
very reptilian and cold blooded
and if you see what's her face
sitting next to her, who's the
the Democracy Now? Lady, not
democracy. No, no, not democracy
now, uh, PBS NewsHour, Lady
Woodruff, yes, she could barely
keep her lizard tongue in her
mouth.
John C Dvorak: She Yes, it was.
It
Adam Curry: was trying to come
out. It was the freakiest thing.
John C Dvorak: There was a fly
there, you know, in this, yeah,
but
Adam Curry: they she is. She's a
reptilian, uh, I got a super
cut. I got a joint.
John C Dvorak: Wait before you
do that, I went and play the
last DNC clip. Okay, cut that I
have, which is, this is camel
one. This is when she opened the
I want it. This is kind of an
ask Adam, you really want me to
play this just like what this is
count DNC camera one. This is
when she opened up her speech. I
want you to say, tell me what's
missing from this what's missing
from this picture.
Unknown: Growing up, we moved a
lot. I will always remember that
big Mayflower truck packed with
all our belongings ready to go
to Illinois to Wisconsin. And
wherever our parents jobs took
us. Yes,
Adam Curry: I'm missing Canada.
Is what. I'm missing
John C Dvorak: Montreal
Adam Curry: back I'm missing
Canada. I don't know how long
they were there, but I double
years I was missing Canada as
John C Dvorak: well. She was in
high school from, I think, 13 to
15, yeah, or she was there from
when she was 13 to 15. It's
about that long. And if you I'm
doing some research on this now,
and if you start, you have to
find Canadian sources. They
loved her up there. And old
roommate, or roommates,
schoolmates of her, say nobody
in Canada knew that she wasn't
Canadian. Did she say she's like
this chameleon? She probably
picked up the accent and
everything.
Adam Curry: She went from from
black speak to a,
John C Dvorak: yeah, a, that'll
be fun. Yeah, oh, I like it here
in Canada. It's fabulous. A,
hey, a queen,
Adam Curry: all right, since you
put a meme of it in the
newsletter about Daddy, what's
propaganda, and you had all the
joy letters circled. It was That
was good. I got a supercut for
us. The one
Unknown: thing that I will not
forgive them for is they're
trying to steal the joy from
this country,
the joy felt by Americans
backing the Harris
walls ticket, we are joyful
warriors. Being
joyful is part of the American
identity, the
joy factor, campaign of joy.
You're talking about radical
joy. It is Denmark joyful.
It looks like a joyous rally. It
looks like a joyous occasion. A
real zeal
and joy in the campaign. The joy
that you're bringing back to the
country, joyful, exuberant
rally. Thank
you for bringing back the joy,
power of joy, hope and joy,
something incredibly joyful. She
does it all with a sense
of joy, joy,
joy, joy,
joy.
Imagine that American politics,
joyful. Again, go,
Adam Curry: beautiful,
beautiful.
John C Dvorak: And what do you
make of this? Oh, what I
Adam Curry: make of it is is you
cannot listen to mainstream
legacy media, including Fox.
Just have to make sure people
understand the fox is run by
Democrats without noticing that
they're pretty much all against
Trump. Or let me put. It.
They're all pro Harris. They're
pro Democrat, the way they
John C Dvorak: make of the but
not asking that. You know, that
joy, the idea, what, what, what
is the why is this? It's
Adam Curry: a different term for
hope. And it's also, I think
it's a it's a nod. I don't
John C Dvorak: think it's a
synonym in any way, or a
different term for a whole
Adam Curry: it's also a bit of a
nod towards the Christians. For
Kamala, enjoy, for the churches,
there's a little bit of that in
there. I
John C Dvorak: don't enjoy the
Adam Curry: world. Yeah, I'm
John C Dvorak: feeling that joy
to the world. Well, there's, you
might be getting closer. There's
some I don't have it either. So
persuasion, but joy, it's like,
corny, well,
Adam Curry: yeah, how was hope?
Hope and Change? It worked. Hope
and Change works. It worked.
There you go. It worked. We
needed, yeah, it's not a
synonym, but it worked. So they
needed something, and someone
came up with joy, and we're
taking their joy. Oh, we can use
it.
John C Dvorak: Who came up with
this? And maybe, you know,
here's just kind of off the top
of my head. I'm thinking, she
cackles and laughs, and we had
that one clip with a woman and
the phony gay guy laughing like
maniacs. Is it possible that
because of that laugh, they need
a foil to to offset the laugh.
Oh, no, that's not, yeah, no,
she's laughing because she's
joyful. So you, you kind of like
give her a pass on that stupid
laugh of hers. Maybe,
Adam Curry: yeah, it's possible,
yeah, yeah. I could see that. I
could see that
Unknown: anyway, right,
Adam Curry: right on time. We on
Friday, the beautiful time to
change the news cycle. RFK, JR
comes out, suspends his campaign
and and endorses Trump, and then
subsequently
John C Dvorak: the writing that
was Friday. Yes, No, you said
Sunday. Oh, I
Adam Curry: meant Friday. It was
right after. So the day after,
we changed, I know, beautiful.
Now there was I got from
deutscheville, interesting. I
got the timing of this. Now you
and I, of course, see this as,
oh, this is what you do. Let's
cut off all news coverage about
the the convention, and let's
twist it over to Trump. And he
had pyrotechnics. It was
fantastic. And Kennedy does a
reasonably short speech. The
Time Magazine correspondent for
deutschewela had an interesting
bit that I was not aware of
regarding the timing. I
Unknown: think there were
several factors. I think they
were clearly running out of
money. That was something that
we knew for a while. I think
also, it looked like a lot of
these ballots were going to be
printed in swing states. So in
Arizona, which is a big swing
state today, at 6am they were
going to start printing a ballot
with Kennedy's name on it. So if
he wanted to be authentic, he
really wanted to put a support
between one, you know, one of
the two candidates. This was the
only time he could really do it.
And, you know, I think a lot of
he clearly saw no path forward,
even though that had been the
case for months. I spoken to
people in the campaign who told
me that for more than a year,
they have been weighing possibly
endorsing Donald Trump. So I
think from what I hear, he's
just a very indecisive person,
and clearly partly enjoyed being
on the campaign trail and
getting to be the main
candidate. So but really kind of
came to the end there.
Adam Curry: I have one other
shorter clip from this lady,
because she then brought in kind
of the talking point that
everybody was repeating about
Bobby the opp before we speak
about his endorsement of Donald
Trump, I want to talk about how
RFK Jr tried to talk to Kamala
Harris for a potential cabinet
job in her administration. What
Unknown: can you tell us about
that? And
what do you make of the fact
that it looks like he's like
he's he's tried to play both
political parties
here. I think he's done that
from the very start. He
obviously started as a
Democratic candidate, and he
took great pride, I mean, I
interviewed him several times,
and he took great pride in
saying that he spoke to both
sides, that he, you know, was
always willing to talk to the
extremes of both parties, but,
you know, obviously the Harris
campaign so absolutely nothing
to gain from speaking with him,
because they actually did not
want his endorsement. You know,
he's an anti vaccine conspiracy
theorist. He doesn't really
align with most of their
positions. So you know, even if
they could get a little bit of a
bump in the polls, in some ways,
it didn't seem worth it to the
Harris campaign. So
Adam Curry: I was watching CNN,
and they've removed this is no
longer available. I was watching
it on YouTube TV, and you hit
record and it doesn't record the
whole show. It only records from
where you were watching. I had
this beautiful clip of Axelrod
right out and. He's with
Anderson Cooper, and the
announcement is made, and
Axelrod says, Well, you can
clearly see Bobby Kennedy is not
a well man. He has mental issues
like, holy crap. It was
unbelievable. And and it's gone.
I couldn't find that, which was
too bad. And now Fox, they, they
went live. They also, I could
not find this. They cut RFK
speech off after they let him go
for quite a while, but the Mandy
started talking about the drug
industry, and we'll get back to
I
John C Dvorak: actually could
have clipped it, but it was
like, I wish I had it. I looked
for it was they just abruptly
ended. It didn't go on much
longer than I had to scrounge
around to get back to the
speech. I have two clips let me
Adam Curry: play the CNN cut off
because that's also quite they
cut off much earlier. The same
shadowy DNC operatives appointed
his successor, also without an
election. They installed a
candidate who was so unpopular
with voters that she dropped out
in 2020 without winning a single
delegate. My uncle and my father
both relished debate. They
prided themselves on their
capacity to go toe to toe with
any opponent and the battle over
ideas, they would be astonished
to learn of a Democratic Party
presidential nominee. Yeah, we
got to cut this off. Let's go
Unknown: to independent
candidate Robert F Kennedy from
Phoenix, outlining what led him
to his quixotic quest for the
White House, dropping out and
relinquishing the title of
Democrat. He hit a series of
complaints about the party.
We're of course, going to
continue watching his remarks.
There's a back and forth over
whether he's going to endorse
for There
Adam Curry: you go. So they just
cut him off when he started
lifting the veil on the corrupt
media. Wasn't gonna happen. But
it was, it was, it was
interesting that Fox the minute,
you know, their their
advertisers were in peril, you
know, talking about Big Pharma.
Let's cut them off.
John C Dvorak: Obvious, people
should listen to this entire
speech. It's available on
YouTube, I believe, yeah, yeah.
It's quite interesting. He also
has an excellent rundown on
Ukraine, yep. And I thought it
was very entertaining. I have
two clips of just random clips
of Kennedy's above the speech.
It followed by two clips of the
CNN analysis, okay, which
contrast, because they brought
in the some just brutal people.
Adam Curry: Did they call them
mentally ill, though? Because
that that's No. I wish I had
that.
John C Dvorak: That's great. I
Adam Curry: can't find it. Well,
let's
John C Dvorak: go with Kennedy
quits. Uh, random. This is
random one each time
Adam Curry: that our volunteers
turned in those towering boxes
of signatures needed to get on
the ballot, the DNC dragged us
into court, state after state
attempting to erase their work
and to subvert the will of the
voters who had signed those
petitions. It deployed DNC
aligned judges to throw me and
other candidates off the ballot
and to throw President Trump in
jail. It ran a sham primary that
was rigged to prevent any
serious challenge to President
Biden. Then when a predictably
bundled debate performance
precipitated the palace coup
against President Biden. The
same shadowy DNC operatives
appointed his successor, also
without an election, they
installed a candidate who was so
unpopular with voters that she
dropped out in 2020 Yeah. The
whole speech was fantastic. I
mean, it was like a no agenda
speech. We could have, we could
have written most of it. He's
like, Yeah, just go balls to the
wall. Bobby, say this. It was
great.
John C Dvorak: Here's a second,
his second, another segment.
These are sub segments of a long
speech. But I want the reason
I'm playing these because they
contrast them what CNN said they
were Yes, I got it, and so now
it made logical. There was no
illogic or rambling or anything.
It was pretty straightforward.
It looked like he wasn't reading
it. But let's play the second
one, even
Adam Curry: today, users who try
to post my campaign videos to
Facebook or YouTube get messages
that this content violates
community standards. Two days
after judge toady rendered his
decision this week, Facebook was
still attaching warning labels
to an online petition calling on
ABC to include me in the
upcoming debate. They said that
violates community standards.
There. Community Standards. The
mainstream media was once the
guardian of the First Amendment
and democratic principles, and
has joined this systemic attack
on democracy. Shots fired.
John C Dvorak: Okay, so now it's
so they like you. Pointed out
where they cut him off on CNN. I
want to play two clips. These
are, these are short of their
analysis of what he had to say.
And I want to listen carefully
to this basic slander.
Unknown: Donald Trump, last week
stood and said in front of a
bunch of groceries and said, I
haven't seen any Cheerios in a
long time. I had Cheerios for
breakfast. This was cuckoo for
Cocoa Puffs. And trying to get
any logic out of that. Wow, did
someone
Adam Curry: on the studio floor
laugh at that lame ass joke?
Yeah,
Unknown: time I had Cheerios for
breakfast, this was cuckoo for
Cocoa Puffs. And trying to get
any logic out of that is good
luck with that, because it's
one, you can't understand what
he says. Two, if you can, you
can't understand what he says,
and reminded of a line of in Mel
Brooks's Blazing Saddles, when
somebody gets up and gives an
indecipherable speech. He says,
Who can argue with that? That's
authentic frontier gibberish,
and that's exactly what that is.
Yeah, good. Well, I
was going to say to your point
though, Brianna, the big
overarching issue here for both
campaigns, for the Harris
campaign, the Trump campaign, is
the third party sort of X
Factor, and what that means for
turnout in November. So even if
what he was saying wasn't easy
to follow, it is still the
concern of either campaign,
which is partially why Trump is
looking for that endorsement,
that these voters are sort of
The X Factor and what they
decide to do with RFK Junior
going into November, when it's
going to be such a tight race,
and we've seen that before, back
in 2016
Adam Curry: by the way, for a
black, for a black man, to say
that and evoke Blazing Saddles,
pretty racist.
John C Dvorak: So what was hard
to follow? Or nothing? For Coco
pubs, nothing. Where was the
illogic? There was none. I mean,
I only played those two. You
could have played the whole
thing. And it followed a logical
pattern. It was discussing
things in a straightforward
manner that but no, no, no, CNN,
who didn't play any they cut him
off, as you said, they they
start making stuff up. This is
CNN has really become a battle
here. All
Adam Curry: media, all media
that has advertising
John C Dvorak: sucks. It does
part two,
Unknown: and yet his supporters
may be confused, because we're
even confused based on his own
statements. Now we've gotten a
fresh statement from his
campaign, clarifying previous
remarks, in which, initially in
this court fighting in
Pennsylvania, it said that he
would be endorsing Donald Trump.
His campaign came out and said,
That's not what's happening.
Then he, in his remarks, said
that he was throwing his support
behind Trump over the war in
Ukraine, what he described as
the war on our children and
chronic disease was another one.
It's hard to make sense of
Johanna Maska. What do you see
in all of this? As this rambling
speech goes on and he launches a
test ramble Democrats well,
and look, he's reminding us who
he is. I mean, he's the troubled
son of a famous politician who
has had drug problems, problems
with women, nefarious business
dealings with Venezuela. I mean,
there were a lot of questions
about his intentions in this
campaign. From the get go, he is
not ready for prime time and
certainly not ready for the
presidency. I mean, he's never
held elected office.
Adam Curry: Yeah, this is why
I'm so upset. I couldn't find
that Axelrod clip because there
was someone else who came right
after Axelrod and said the same
thing. He's mentally ill. They
were saying men and just listen
to him. Well, we know that he
has a an issue with his speech,
but this is, this is so mean, I
can't say it's mean, but this
shows you that advertising based
M 5m they have to self censor.
They cannot bring themselves to
speak against Big Pharma,
against their advertisers, for
political campaigns, this is a
bonanza year. I mean, there's
going to be a lot of money spent
on advertising. They just can't
do that. No, now with and this
is why it sucks so bad. It's
just horrible.
John C Dvorak: Well, that brings
me to another segue.
Adam Curry: Well, no, I want to
stay. I have a couple things I
want to say about Bobby's
speech. If you don't mind, love
John C Dvorak: you want I just
had, this is a choice. Yes,
Adam Curry: I won. What would Is
there a segue to a different
topic than No,
John C Dvorak: no, it's not a
segue to a different topic. It's
a segue to what you just said
about advertising and drug
companies.
Adam Curry: Well, no, that's,
that's off topic. Okay? You
know, because when I saw okay
queen, I mean. Take it. No, it's
yes. Queen,
John C Dvorak: oh, sorry, yes,
yes. Queen,
Adam Curry: come on, you can do
it. So when I saw him do this, I
really the first thing I thought
is, oh man. Because this I'm a
family man, I'm thinking, oh
man, his wife hates Trump, hates
Trump.
John C Dvorak: She's this, okay,
that's Cheryl Heinz, yes, and
who we may suspect of being his
handler for the CIA, which fits
in with the but
Adam Curry: she has barely been
given a pass. You know, no one
really talks about it, but in
Hollywood, you know,
particularly with the what's the
show? The bald guy, the show
that she's on,
John C Dvorak: Curb Your
Enthusiasm. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So that guy is a
Trump hater.
John C Dvorak: They're all. He
really hates Trump. So for Larry
David. Larry David, yeah,
Adam Curry: so when, and it's
hard to tell in our in Bobby The
Ops voice, but I felt real
emotion when he says, This is
really hard on my this comes
from inside edition, who, of
course, would highlight this
Unknown: RFK Junior's wife,
actress Cheryl Hines, is
reportedly not pleased about her
husband's endorsement of Donald
Trump. Hines famously co starred
in the Larry David hit comedy
Curb Your Enthusiasm behind the
scenes. Heinz is not at all
happy. Cheryl Hines is not
exactly enthusiastic about him
dropping out
or endorsing Trump. RFK
Jr formally suspended his
campaign today in the swing
state of Arizona, and through
his support behind the former
president. This
Adam Curry: decision is
agonizing for me because of the
difficulties it causes my wife
and my children and my friends.
Unknown: It's a stunning
reversal. The New Yorker
magazine says RFK recently
texted a friend that Trump is a
terrible human being and
probably a sociopath. We just
had a very nice
endorsement from RFK.
Adam Curry: I like how they have
the little text message they're
going they show on screen,
obviously someone you know, just
doing it for the camera. You
know, he's a sociopath. Now, I
have just one more clip to play,
but let's just look at a bit of
analysis. Because there's,
there's a cup, there's people.
I've really been trying to go
with the flow on the socials and
see what people are thinking. So
I'm seeing a lot of RFK
supporters, and I wouldn't say
there's a lot of them, but
there's many who are very vocal,
and they are posting things
like, Hey, okay, I want to talk
to Maga people. Let's, let's see
if we can become united. So
there that's and I think that's
genuine. What I'm seeing, I
don't know if it's a lot of
people, but there's some big,
you know, people with a lot of
followers, and they're saying,
Okay, we're going to follow
Bobby in this, and we want to
join with Maga and there. And
that is being received very
positively and optimistically.
Now there's a lot of people who
are saying, well, this is crazy,
by the way, Whitney Webb would
be one. She's getting a lot of
pushback. For the first time,
she's saying, This is no good,
you know, he's too close to
intelligence. And you know, it's
someone has to say the hard
things, and so she's getting a
lot of pushback from people.
Think the funniest one is, hey,
look, we always, it's always
until Jesus Christ is on the
ballot. We're always voting for
the lesser of two evils, which
is true. Then there's another
contingent. I see it even the
troll room. He didn't suspend
this campaign only in the swing
states. Well, I don't know. I
mean, there's some there's some
thinking out there. Well, if
Trump gets assassinated,
seriously, this is some of the
thinking I'm seeing, then he can
still run. But I think if you're
not on the ballot in the swing
states, you have, you have no
chance. So I'm not quite sure
why he didn't just say, I'm
suspending the campaign
everywhere. I don't know what
the thinking is behind
John C Dvorak: that. My my
theory on this is it's too much
work. It took them a while. It's
just as hard to get off the
ballot as it is to get on.
Really, oh, I didn't really,
would be a major expense that.
Oh, what difference does it
make? Let's put our efforts in
getting off the swing states.
And then he said, Who cares?
Also, because he's still on
these ballots. I think he still
gets Secret Service protection.
Oh, okay, so there's, there's
things going
Adam Curry: on, and then, and
then there's, there's an
interesting contingent of people
who were very anti Bobby, who
are now saying, Okay, we think
this is real, and we're all in,
and this is actually a good
thing, because they don't agree
on everything, and he will be
good, and it's clear that he
would be in, you know, HHS, or,
you know, something to do with
FDA and HHS and EPA, which he's
a very accomplished lawyer. He
has sued, well, at least his
organization, Children's Defense
Fund. They have sued all these
agencies, and they have been
successful, and they've arguably
done a lot of very good things.
John C Dvorak: You know that you
mentioned something. I was
thinking about HHS immediately,
but you said something just
casually on the last show, which
is, what if they made him
Attorney General? That's what I
that's what I want. That would
be pretty remarkable. It's
Adam Curry: not a great position
for a Kennedy, but it's, it is,
it was,
John C Dvorak: it's not. It's
not unknown to the Kennedys to
be attorney general. And
Adam Curry: I'm sure you were
very annoyed by one part of his
speech this, I can't help when I
saw him say this, I'm like, oh,
John's gonna be all annoyed by
this. Did you did anything annoy
you in Kennedy speech?
John C Dvorak: Well, let's see
what you have. What it is that
you think about his endurance.
Hold on, sorry. Here we go.
Adam Curry: This one, cancer
rates are skyrocketing, and the
young and the old young adult
cancers are up 70 79% one in
four American women is on
antidepressant medication. 40%
of teams have a mental teens
have a mental health diagnosis,
and 15% of high schoolers are on
Adderall, and half a million
children on SSRIs. So what's
causing this suffering? I'll
name two culprits, first and the
worst is ultra processed food.
About 70% of American children's
diet is ultra processed. That
means industrial manufacture in
a factory. These foods consist
primarily of processed sugar,
ultra processed grains and seed
oils. Laboratory scientists who
form many of them formerly
worked for the cigarette
industry, which purchased all
the big food companies in the
1970s and 80s, deployed 1000s of
scientists to figure out
chemicals, new chemicals to make
the food more addictive. And
these ingredients didn't exist
100 years ago. They humans
aren't biologically adapted to
eat them. Hundreds of these
chemicals are now banned in
Europe, but ubiquitous in
American processed
John C Dvorak: foods. Now we
Adam Curry: know where he got
this from, because he has been
advised by Cali. Means you are
adamantly against this theory,
and in fact, you still am. You
think it's a conspiracy theory?
John C Dvorak: No, I don't think
it's a conspiracy theory. I
think it's a nonsense.
Adam Curry: No, you No, I'm
sorry, yeah, well, I mean a
conspiracy theory in in the
nonsense kind of way.
John C Dvorak: Okay, I can. I'll
accept that. Yeah, just
Adam Curry: all right, well, I
thought it was so can we take
anything he says seriously?
Then, yeah, I
John C Dvorak: think the food
supply is toxic. I'm not arguing
that. No, but
Adam Curry: he's he's clearly
parroting talking points that
that come from someone else. I
mean, what else? Oh,
John C Dvorak: he does that with
climate too. So he's not an
original thinker. I don't think,
Adam Curry: all right, all
right, because I heard that. I'm
like, Oh, John must be yelling.
No, I'm
John C Dvorak: not yelling. Oh,
you yelled at it when I played
Adam Curry: the clip. No, I
John C Dvorak: didn't. I just
thought. I just said it was bull
crap. It's what I think. I said
Adam Curry: it was a little more
animated than that.
John C Dvorak: So, so So the
clips I wanted to play about the
drug companies are something we
used to do on this show, and we
stopped doing it. Uh oh, we need
to start immediately. No, we
don't need to start immediately,
but we do have to play these two
clips. This is that. This is
this. This is 1/62 ad that I
chopped up into two parts, okay?
And this is, I never heard of
this before, and there's all
these things coming out, and I
think they're going, they're
getting what they can out of the
especially with the fear that
Bobby Kennedy is going to have
anything to do with this,
because he's against advertising
drug companies advertising on TV
as much as anyone. And this is a
product called volkenza, D, O,
Q, U, E, Z, n, a, kind of how
they go with this.
Adam Curry: They spell it,
vokesna, voc, voc, vocna,
John C Dvorak: I think quest it
says in the day, they'd say it
in the ad, you can hear how they
pronounce it. But it's basically
a heartburn medication, so
people have a lot of heartburn
instead of taking Tums or
changing their diet, or, you
know, eating more base foods, as
opposed to acidic foods or
whatever, or even eating more
acidic foods that counteracted
you use this pill, and here's
the opening. This
Unknown: is Steve. Steve takes
boques. This is Steve's stomach,
where voquest can kick some acid
heal acid related damage to the
esophagus, called erosive
esophagitis and relieve related
heart birth. Valquez is the
first and only FDA approved
treatment of its kind. 93% of
adults were healed by two months
of those healed, 79% stayed
healed. And valquesda can
provide. Heartburn free, days
and nights healed.
Adam Curry: Is heartburn some
kind of,
John C Dvorak: well, it happens.
The damage is your esophagus,
and it has to heal. It's like,
it's like, oh, well, the
Adam Curry: acid reflux can
damage your Yeah, that's what
they're talking about. This
John C Dvorak: is an acid reflux
drug, basically, all right, but
the second half as deep. It's
almost 60. It's like the 62nd ad
27 seconds. Promote the product.
Here we go. Rest some of the
worst side effects I've ever
heard. And how this drug ever
got released into the public is
beyond me.
Unknown: Burn free days and
nights, other
serious stomach conditions may
still exist. Don't take it
allergic to voquena or while on
products with real pivoting the
quesna may cause serious side
effects, including kidney
problems, diarrhea, bone
fractures, severe skin
reactions, low vitamin B 12 or
magnesium levels and stomach
growths. Call your doctor if you
have diarrhea, stomach pain or
fever that won't go away,
decreased or bloody. Urine
seizures, dizziness, irregular
heartbeat, jitteriness, muscle
aches or weakness, spasms of
hand speed or voice.
Boquezna can help kick some
acid. And so can you ask your
doctor about berquesta? Yeah,
this
Adam Curry: doesn't sound like a
great product, bone fractures,
John C Dvorak: seizures. And by
the way, the one thing that's in
all these ads, I can't believe
anyone would take this if, just
knowing, you get two hugged bone
fractures you may
Adam Curry: experience death
when taking boquezine.
John C Dvorak: So what I don't
get is, don't take it if you're
allergic to it, yeah. How do you
know? How would you know? Ask
Adam Curry: your doctor.
John C Dvorak: Well, how would
he know? Nobody knows, until you
take it so it makes no so
there's an ill logic to all
these.
Adam Curry: It's a catch all. I
used to be a Tums addict,
actually, and until I figured
out that taking Tums actually
keeps the heartburn going. Yeah,
it doesn't, it doesn't help,
doesn't help. And
John C Dvorak: I stopped, and
it's always helped me, but it's
also got a lot of calcium, which
you need. Okay,
Adam Curry: well, drink milk.
Well, since we're on the Big
Pharma, we might as well bring
out the news of the day
Unknown: tonight, Dr Anthony
Fauci, the nation's former top
infectious disease official, and
the face of the fight against
covid is dealing with his own
health scare. A spokesperson
says Fauci was hospitalized for
six days with West Nile virus.
The rear virus is usually spread
by mosquitoes and can be deadly.
Fauci, who's 83 is now
recovering. So we
Adam Curry: have all these
mosquito diseases popping up all
of a sudden. My favorite is the
triple E Oxford,
Unknown: Massachusetts, and
three neighboring towns have a
reason for concern, as
mosquitoes carrying a
potentially deadly virus called
Eastern Equine Encephalitis, or
triple E, infected a resident
who is now fighting for his
life.
We don't want to see another
human case of Triple E this
year. The
rare but dangerous disease can
cause swelling in the brain,
there is no treatment and anyone
can get infected. The death rate
is as high as 30%
even if you do survive. Usually
there are long term significant
health impacts, neurological
impacts,
Oxford has been declared a
critical risk for Tripoli,
prompting Health Department
officials to recommend a 6pm
curfew for outdoor activities,
including club sports. These are
recommendations. They're not
hard and stop requirements.
We are definitely nervous about
it. Sarah
Fournier is also worried her
children's sports seasons,
football and cheer could be
jeopardized. Cheer, but they're
taking precautions by wearing
mosquito repellent and long
sleeve tops.
We can't stop life.
They need to get out there. They
need to play.
This is their time to be social
with their friends and be a part
of
a team. Now,
triple E symptoms usually begin
between four to 10 days after
being bitten by an infected
mosquito, according to the CDC.
Now, some of those symptoms can
include fever, headache and
seizures. This sounds
Adam Curry: like another bunch
of bull crap to me, this triple
E everything is what
John C Dvorak: I was just going
to say I have the number. Was
it? Five people, 11. There you
go. Well, but 11 people average
it annually, 11 out of 300 what?
Three 50 million people, it's
gonna be 11 annually. The number
is, is so minute I think
Adam Curry: that. I think the
whole idea is just run stories
that make people anxious, and
you get medication because
you're anxious. Oh, Xanax or
whatever. I mean, here's another
one. And
Unknown: let's turn to another
health concern. The CDC is
warning pregnant woman women
about something called parvo
virus. What B
19 is a specific type of virus,
and it's a virus that children
often get, and they don't really
get that sick. The one thing
they do get a. They get a red
rash on their cheeks. We call it
slap cheek syndrome because it
looks like the cheeks were
slapped. For children, not that
big a deal. For pregnant women,
it can be a problem because of
the fetus gets it. It can cause
fetal demise, it can cause fetal
abnormalities, it can cause
fetal issues. And so the concern
is children spreading it to
pregnant women. So they want to
be careful. Some of the things
you can do, you know,
essentially, like we talked
about during covid, a lot of
hand washing, you know, stay
away from people who might be
sick, and you can certainly wear
a mask if you're concerned,
because that can help to a
certain extent.
Adam Curry: You are correct. As
you said, this is not new, but
do you remember the last time we
heard about Paro virus in
America? Arrow, Paro?
John C Dvorak: That does? Par
Yes, Parvo, parvo virus. You
Adam Curry: remember the last
time we heard about this? No two
years ago? Listen to the
difference in story tonight.
Unknown: Officials in Michigan
have identified the mysterious
virus that has killed at least
30 dogs. Animal experts
confirmed today the disease is
parvo virus. Not all the dogs
were completely vaccinated. Now
trying to figure out why initial
tests came back negative for
parvovirus, leading officials to
wonder if it is a new strain.
Adam Curry: So, so how come they
haven't linked this as its jump
from dogs to humans? What a
missed opportunity, and there's
a vaccine apparently, I think
they're missing all kinds of
opportunities here.
John C Dvorak: Well, not they're
just trying to keep people on
edge.
Adam Curry: Well, here's the
real big news, because this,
this is going to bankrupt all
systems, and
Unknown: a lot of the arguments
around weight loss drugs have
been about the cost. A lot of
times they're not things unless
you have diabetes that you can
get reimbursed for, and they are
expensive, but it could be a
change coming for Medicare
patients. Yeah, a big one about
Medicare patients. Medicare can
now cover some weight loss drugs
for the first time under the new
guidance, treatments that have
been FDA approved for other
health benefits can be covered.
So that clears the way for a
drug like we'll go be to be
covered. It was recently
approved to be prescribed to
reduce heart attacks and
strokes. So under the new
guidance, if the drug is being
prescribed to reduce the risk of
strokes or heart attacks, it
could be covered and other
weight loss drugs may be
eligible in the future, as some
are now being tested to see if
they can provide additional
health benefits, the weight loss
drugs would be covered under
Medicare prescription drug plans
administered by private insurers
known as Part D coverage. The
concern for patients needing it,
for say, like, non weight loss,
is really supply guys. I mean,
my best friend is diabetes, and
he's can't get his RX.
They got to make
sure, you know, should be able
to get it.
Adam Curry: Hey, if you got your
RX lately, your RX RX. So that
is a very bad sign, because that
means they've the lobbying has
paid off. It will be trillions
of dollars to put everybody on
this nonsense, what I deem to be
nonsense, and
John C Dvorak: we still have
unhealthy you're stuck with it
forever. Yeah, we
Adam Curry: still have to clear
up this. One little annoying,
eat less food.
John C Dvorak: Hello. We have to
Adam Curry: lessen the pie hole.
One little thing we got to clear
up about this report. They're
still combating it. There's
Unknown: a new study out today
that links a popular weight loss
drug to a higher rate of
suicidal thoughts. But there are
questions about the findings.
CBS News CHIEF MEDICAL
CORRESPONDENT, Dr John lapook is
here to explain. Hi, there,
John, hey there.
Nora, there have been relatively
few reported cases of patients
having suicidal thoughts or
actions while taking one of
these drugs for weight loss.
It's important to note here that
obesity itself is associated
with an increased risk of
depression. The study out today
searched a large World Health
Organization database that
tracks adverse drug reactions
and found a possible link
between suicidal thoughts and
semaglutide, the active
ingredient in wegovy and
ozempic. But Nora. The study has
limitations. It only looked at
people who reported having a
problem while on the drug. We
don't know how many people were
taking the drug without a
problem. We also don't know what
the dosage was and how long
people were on it. So far, the
FDA has found no link between
these drugs and suicidal
thoughts and actions, but it's
continuing to investigate Novo
Nordisk, the maker of ozepic and
we go V says it stands behind
the safety of its drugs, and it
will continue to collaborate
closely with the FDA. Today, the
FDA stressed to CBS News that
health care providers and
patients should have a careful
discussion of possible risks,
especially in patients with a
history of depression or self
harm, and that patients should
be aware of the importance of
reporting any change in how
they're feeling.
Adam Curry: So I just wanted to
remind everybody that a lot of
people eat to eat away their
their their problems, and we
have played many reports of
this. I There's probably no
direct link that you get
depressed from taking this drug,
and that's why they can keep
saying it over. Over and over
again. The issue is there's a
segment of the population who
are unhappy, depressed, have
trauma, and they eat to cover up
when they feel sad or lonely,
and when you can't eat because
of this drug, then those
feelings come back. That's
what's happening, and we will
see, I think, a reasonably big
mental health crisis. But that's
okay, because we can sell more
drugs for that, which is groovy.
I did have a boots on the ground
from Bowling Green, if you
recall, on the last show that we
had a news report a clip about
the compounding of GLP one drugs
in Bowling Green, Kentucky. So
we have our producer, Joshua. He
says, boots on the ground in BG,
Kentucky. Here after listening
to Thursday's show, I figured
give a little background on
Bowling Green as NPR decided to
call us just a small town in
Kentucky. While not huge,
Bowling Green is the third
largest city in Kentucky, only
about 45 minutes north of
Nashville, also home to the
Corvette plant and the Mammoth
Cave National Park. Okay, enough
for that the ozempic story
failed to mention. The bowling
green is known for having the
most restaurants per person in
Kentucky and in many surrounding
states. Because of this, it has
always been a tester market for
new types of food, drink and
candy. New KitKat flavor, we get
it. New ridiculous, unhealthy
creation at KFC, or Taco Bell or
McDonald's Bowling Green is
going to roll it out and eat it
up. Apparently, anecdotally,
this one thought was
interesting, the amount of
divorces happening among people
my age, elder millennial in this
area over the past half year or
so has been astounding and often
tied to ozempic and similar
weight loss drugs, so much so
that the saying looks like
someone else is competing in the
summer. Ozempics has become a
thing recently. So people are
getting divorced because they're
like, seeing how they're hot.
People walking around. Hey, any
babe, you're not an ozempic. I
think I'm going to cheat on you.
Recently, I've noticed a major
uptick in advertising receive on
Facebook and other socials for
semaglutide drugs, even a hymns
commercial offering free and
cheap injections. But I only see
these when I'm scrolling while
in the bowling green area. The
messaging is everywhere here.
When I leave the state for work,
there's not a peep of it on my
socials. Well, that's
interesting. Bowling Green,
producer, we need you to stay,
stay on alert, because we'll
know if they're trying something
else out, because they
apparently you're the lab rats
of America.
John C Dvorak: There's a couple
places in the country like that.
What else you
Adam Curry: know of any any
other one? Well, I
John C Dvorak: know the Seattle
area was the lab rat area for
rolling out previews of movies
to see what for
Adam Curry: focus groups. Hmm,
interesting.
John C Dvorak: Apparently, the
people up there were, like the
average movie viewer,
Adam Curry: I guess, but these,
but these people is different,
like they given them horrible
sugary candy and pretty colors
and all kinds of stuff to eat.
And then they throw them on, uh,
oh, yeah, that's
John C Dvorak: what you do. You
find a spot Where's average
American, and you just use that
as cheap. Instead of doing a
bunch of real research, you find
one place can't be doing that.
You use what you find the one
place and you just see what
happens? Oh, it's actually
smart.
Adam Curry: Well, it's smart if
these people are aware of it,
which they're not.
John C Dvorak: No, you don't
want anyone aware of it. That's
the No, you can't do that. Then
it screws it screws it up like
the Heisenberg uncertainty
principle.
Adam Curry: Let's wrap it up
with the the obvious to be
expected, the FDA
Unknown: is giving the green
light for updated covid vaccines
from Pfizer and moderna, which
have been designed and better
protect against the current
circulating variants of the
virus. The best
plan going into this winter is
for everyone to remain vigilant.
Vigilant, use the tools we have,
tools treatment against the
illnesses responsible for the
majority of fall and winter
deaths and hospitalizations. The
FDA
says vaccinations continue to be
the cornerstone of covid 19
prevention and can help avoid
the lingering symptoms of long
covid.
The only way you get long covid
is by having covid, and vaccines
can help prevent covid. Updated
shots
are expected to be available at
pharmacies and doctors offices
in the coming days or weeks. The
release coming just as kids are
returning to school, the updated
versions are approved for those
over six months, medical
professionals are encouraging
anyone who's at high risk due to
age or underlying health
conditions to get vaccinated as
soon as possible. Health experts
recommend getting vaccinated
sometime in September or
October. Going
to take a few weeks to get that
protection, which may last for
several months heading into what
may be a winter surge. Well,
Adam Curry: I must say, I know
people who have had six
vaccinations. That's the OG and
five boosters. And even they're
saying, Yeah, I don't think this
is right for me. It's not
working for me. We
John C Dvorak: have that we I
didn't get the clip, but we have
this one guy who keeps coming
under our local stations. He's a
doctor at UCSF. He's a Chinese
guy, Huang, something or other.
Yeah, and he just looks like a
torturing he looks like a
character who plays a torturing
person that I remember from
alias or someplace. He looks
like an actor. And he is, in
some ways, and he come in his
latest thing as well. If you get
covid, don't, you know, get the
vaccine as soon as you can. If
you get covid
Adam Curry: After you get covid,
yeah, oh,
John C Dvorak: that makes
they're promoting this. Just get
the no matter where you could be
sick as a dog. You get covid 20
times. Just keep taking this
vaccine. I don't know. It's just
ridiculous. This, this, the
logic is elusive, but this, in
that report there, they said,
Well, you know the vaccine, you
take the booster and it'll last
for three months. Yeah. How good
is that? Well, vitamin d3 Well,
this
Adam Curry: does come timed with
another FDA approval. John, get
ready, free stuff. Amid
Unknown: a wave of covid 19
infections this summer, and as
families start staying indoors
more this fall, the Biden
administration is restarting its
free at home covid 19 this
program. It's the third year in
a row that families can order up
to four tests per household
through the website covid
test.gov now the federal
government is set to relaunch
the site again at the end of
September. Since the program
began, it has sent out more than
1.8 billion covid tests. This
comes announced it has
authorized updated covid
vaccines of both moderna and
Pfizer biontech to better
protect against currently
circulating variants. The CDC
said last week it estimates that
covid 19 cases are growing or
likely growing in more than half
the states.
Adam Curry: So they show this
map during this bit of the of
the news report, growing or
likely growing. Which is another
interesting little likely
growing. What does that mean?
Well, and they show these
colors, and you see New York,
California, they're growing. Not
even likely growing. They're
growing. Texas and California.
Texas and Florida don't even
have a color. There's nothing
happening here. No covid. When
will people get it? I mean, not
get get it, get the get the
covid or the VAX. But when will
they start to understand,
understand
John C Dvorak: what that's bull
crap. Yes, that
Adam Curry: the covid shot
apparently makes you more
susceptible to getting covid.
John C Dvorak: It's crazy. It's
logical, if you just keep
looking at the evidence. Now, I
just went to covid test.gov
you're ordered for No, no, it
was. It's a bullcrap report. Oh,
coming soon, you can order your
free covid 19 test at the end of
September.
Adam Curry: Ah, fake news.
That's fake news. And with that,
I'd like to thank you for your
courage. Say in the morning to
you, the man who put the C in
the slap cheek, say hello to my
friend on the other end, the
one, the only, Mr. John
John C Dvorak: C, D, well, in
the morning, you Mr. Adam curry.
In the morning, all ships at
sea, boots on the ground, feet
in the air, subs in the water,
and all the Dames and nights out
there. Joke out,
Adam Curry: 2341 trolls, about
the same as last Thursday.
That's pretty good. Hello
trolls. Yeah, the trolls are
good. The trolls are whenever
there's something cool going on,
the trolls always just pile on,
like, Oh, this is what the boys
have to say about it, by the
way, I just have to say, I got
to stop promoting this
microphone. Everybody wants one
now.
John C Dvorak: It's crazy. Uh,
six months, we'll have them
available.
Adam Curry: Dame Jennifer
already said she'll be a booth,
babe for us.
John C Dvorak: Oh, for the trade
shows ratios. That's an idea.
She'd be good at this.
Adam Curry: Yes, she would. She
would move product. Dame
Jennifer can move product six
months. Yeah, okay, all right,
six months. Oh, I
John C Dvorak: forgot we're
gonna have, yes, yeah. The thing
is, and by the way, this is not,
won't be an exit strategy,
because we need the show to
promote, the microphone
Adam Curry: it. We need to get
it done before Christmas that
that that's gonna be so
difficult. We can do it. We can
do it. You can do
John C Dvorak: so now, hey,
Adam Curry: I'm just the promo
army and Dame Jennifer are
moving product. Here,
John C Dvorak: we missed NAB, so
we're okay. We can try to get
him out before Christmas, and
then we can, oh, NAB, I forgot
about
Adam Curry: that. There's a
whole bunch of podcast
conferences. We can go to all
the podcast conferences. Good
John C Dvorak: about both? Yes,
rather go to nab. No, I'll
Adam Curry: go to with
blueberry. I'll go there with
Todd. You know, we'll do joints.
Man, we'll do joint deals with
joints.
John C Dvorak: You're gonna do
joints anyway. What's it got to
do with this? I
Adam Curry: haven't done a joint
or smoked anything 18 months.
Very proud of myself that long.
Yeah. From cold turkey baby cold
turkey trolls are in the troll
room. You can find
them@trollroom.io the way you
can find it on your modern
podcast app. Get
it@podcastapps.com I'm
recommending pod verse today.
Podverse actually revamping.
Gonna have a whole new pod
verse, so you'll get a great
experience very soon. There's
also, if you're on Apple, caste
Matic, people really like cast O
Matic. And both of those apps
have a little donate button when
you're listening to a 2.0
compatible podcast. If you want
to donate, you hit that button
takes you right to the website.
Takes you right to no agenda
donations.com
John C Dvorak: it's, well,
that's nice, it is. It
Adam Curry: skips a whole, you
know, call to action piece.
You're listening. You're like,
you know, I would not have
thought that, but those guys,
they really gave me some food
for thought. I'm going to
support them, because I don't
want them to go away, because
that will be the consequence.
And you pulled out a cute dog,
not quite the puppy, but it was,
it was, it was close to puppy
time. We'll see. What does that
even
John C Dvorak: mean? I don't
know what that doesn't mean
anything. If it
Adam Curry: was, wasn't for my
upcoming birthday,
John C Dvorak: you have a
birthday,
Adam Curry: I do. I'm turning
the big six. Oh, and for the
occasion, my wife, you're the
same
John C Dvorak: age as Kamala
Harris, and you're the same age
as walls. Yes, yes, correct? Who
looks like he's 90? Yes,
Adam Curry: well, that's being
ages. But okay, it's nothing
wrong with 90 not being
John C Dvorak: ages. I just say
he looks like he's 90. How is
that ageist?
Adam Curry: Well, you say it in
kind of a condescending way.
Looks like he's 90.
John C Dvorak: No, I said it in
a surprise manner. Oh, okay, I
wasn't mean condescending. The
Adam Curry: bonus of these
modern podcast apps is that you
will get alerted when we go
live, which is really the way
that I think podcasts are going
people. More people are saying,
Yeah, we should just do it live.
Record it live. Stop with the
tape, the endless editing and
trying to cutting out all the
UHS and the ums and the that's
the beauty of it, and tightening
up white space. Hey, I love
silence. I love it when we're
contemplating and we're in
thoughts, and people look at
their podcast app like, Did it
break? Did it stop? What
happened?
John C Dvorak: What happened?
These guys still talking to they
still on? What happened? It's
called dead air, yeah,
Adam Curry: but I'm not I'm not
against dead air. I think dead
air is beautiful. There's no
reason to have to fill up every
single spot of dead air. It's
okay to have just silence for a
moment. Silence is golden. Yeah,
we are able to speak the way we
have been speaking for the past
hour and 45 minutes, because we
do not have any advertisers. We
don't have to have something in
the back of our mind. You know,
actually, there was something
that someone alerted me to let
me see if I have this. One of
our producers, we always have
the tip of the day, and the tip
of the day is typically, I don't
have one today, by the way, so I
hope you have a good tip of the
day. But Tip of the Day has
often been a product. If it's a
product you like, it's usually
of the lube variety, but it's
bull. Yes, it's bull. I'm being
funny. We had people very happy
with the rollerblade wheels tip
from the previous show. I
John C Dvorak: finally got mine.
And have you tried them out? No,
I just got it. Okay.
Adam Curry: It turns out that
there's an Amazon influencer
program, and
John C Dvorak: you got
influenced. No, no,
Adam Curry: there are 1000s.
John C Dvorak: Wait, wait,
literally, stop. Now, all of a
sudden, it just done. I mean
what you just said takes a
while. Amazon is paying people
money to promote Amazon
products. Yes,
Adam Curry: well, it's, it's
like the old affiliate program,
but they are actively as far as
I know, I don't, I
John C Dvorak: have no look into
this, because it's sometimes,
well, it's, it's
Adam Curry: okay, so our
producer got approved. It's
called shop and the videos, it's
usually videos. So it's Tiktok.
John C Dvorak: Oh, that's the
end of us.
Adam Curry: It's shoppable,
shoppable, shoppables. So
people, I
John C Dvorak: can't trust these
influencers. You
Adam Curry: can't, well, you
can't trust any podcast
actually, that talks about
products except ours, because
we've been doing this forever.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we get
nothing out of it. And and
Adam Curry: to be, to be, to be,
you know, cut straight to it, I
believe this is a violation of
federal the Federal Trade
Commission rules. I think you
have to disclose if you're being
paid or you're getting a vision
close to you from promoting
something. This
John C Dvorak: is true. Walt was
about 678, years ago or longer.
Walmart
Adam Curry: is now doing this.
Tiktok actually has their own
shop. We've known this for a
while. We've talked about it,
but now it's gone way beyond
Tiktok. Podcasts are doing it.
YouTubers are doing it. So be
very careful. If it doesn't say
Tip of the day, you're no agenda
show, you're probably being
scammed. That's just something
to take note of, because we can
talk about whatever we want,
because we don't get paid by
anybody. We get we get support
from our producers, because we
don't even have listeners or
fans.
John C Dvorak: Fans. We have
fans the way you're derisive
when you say,
Adam Curry: Yeah, fans, as fans,
you have to have fan days. We
have meetups. We have meetups.
We got producers. Producers do
stuff. They send interesting
information. They go down rabbit
holes. Yeah, okay, so sometimes
they come up with weird stuff.
Ah, there it is. First one of
the show. Okay, you're
John C Dvorak: up one to
nothing. No, it, no.
Adam Curry: The tally was Adam
six, John four. Adam five, John
Ford is now Adam six, John four.
We have a producer, of course,
who was tracking that?
John C Dvorak: Good for him,
Yes, so,
Adam Curry: so him. So it is six
for me, four for you. I'm very
disappointed in myself. Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: am too because
you're the one that can stop
stuff on a dime. Well,
Adam Curry: I I caught it the
minute it came out, but it was
too late. It's okay, because
John C Dvorak: you caught it
before now, do if you start to
say when you stop yourself right
there
Adam Curry: earlier, I said,
interesting. I've been working
on different words, Strange.
Strange, yes, strange, we're
working on it. So we we get
support in time, talent and
treasure, and one of the
phenomenal things we've received
from Tim gaudrian. Is no agenda
show net. He built that website.
He has, in fact, incorporated a
lot of podcasting 2.0 features.
People don't realize this, but
you can, you can take these 2.0
features, which, you know, the
chapters, the transcripts, all
kinds of things you can put
right into your website, which
is not a bad idea. Most podcasts
have dumb, crappy websites and
and we have a good one, and that
is what our producer Tim has
done for us, just as one of the
many people who provide us their
time and talent, we'll be
talking to our treasure
producers in a moment after we
think we thank our artists for
Episode 1688, the title of that
show was imposted. I was against
this art. I didn't like it a
you, somehow you feel that you
had two gimmes in our every
John C Dvorak: and I got cheated
out of one. No,
Adam Curry: it's always been
two. You now have one left, and
you chose for Dame Kenny Ben's
art, which was the balls for a
hot dog. And and I, and I
couldn't figure out why I didn't
like it, until I saw it posted
on some timelines. And now I
know if you step back, it looks
like a monkey. You really have
to focus in on it to see that
it's a vasectomy outfit that
gives you hot dogs for
vasectomies. It looks like a
monkey when you just look at it
looks like a monkey's face with
a monkey smile, and they didn't
really work for me. But we have,
we have veto power here. I chose
not to use it,
John C Dvorak: no what you
wanted was the horrible tanta
Neal piece with a hot dog
looking kind of like a limp dick
being cut in half by a pair of
scissors.
Adam Curry: That was my top
choice. The other I had other
choices. Let me see, not really
well, I kind of liked commentary
bloggers, no agenda now with
Blockchain, I thought that was
okay. And I saw that you use the
riot drone by sweeper for the
newsletter, yeah, because it was
an evergreen piece, yeah. And I
don't think that there really
wasn't much else that that
really caught her? Oh, no. I
like the the no agenda signs,
which was also a tantanil, which
were like the DNC signs, like,
we love you, Joe and thank you,
Joe, those stick signs,
John C Dvorak: yeah, the stick
signs.
Adam Curry: I like those. I
preferred that one, but you had
issues with it, which is
probably. Totally true. It was,
John C Dvorak: it was the issues
where it was just a little too
simple. It was, and it was
small, it was, it didn't it
didn't work. Just didn't work.
Yeah, anyway, I like the
creativity of it, but I didn't
like it. Yes, you didn't like
it. Well, it's okay, man, it
looked like it was done by hand.
I mean, it looked Yeah, that I
give her credit for, yes.
Adam Curry: So thank you. Dame
Kenny Benn, another Dutch master
at work, who brought us the
artwork for Episode 1688, we
thank all of our artists. Of
course, no matter what you're
doing, you put it up a no agenda
Art Generator. It's appreciated.
A lot of this art is used in our
2.0 chapters, which you can see
in the modern podcast apps, also
on noagendashow.net and dreb
Scott does that, so we love
dreb, another great no agenda
producer. Now we want to thank
our executive producers and
Associate Executive producers.
We appreciate any donation. The
way value for value works is
whatever you get out of the
show, you send us an amount back
that equals the value to you. We
can't see what that means to
you. So we're not putting any
levels or any hoops, or any, you
know, subscriptions that you
have, that you have to go into.
In fact, you can do a
sustaining, sustaining donation,
your own subscription, your own
frequency, your own amount. It's
all up to you, and as long as it
keeps working for both sides,
we're in business 17 years. In
October, we're okay. $200 and
above, you get an Associate
Executive producer credit. $300
above and executive producer
credit. And in both cases, we
read your note and we kick it
off with Kristen Smith, who is
in Katy, Texas. And Kristen
sends us $500 says, Happy
Birthday, Adam, thank you for
the blessing of you in this
world and being an inspiration
to others. John, am I inspiring?
Am I an inspiration to you?
John C Dvorak: No,
Adam Curry: funny you and your
inspiration to me. In many ways,
I doubt it. Yeah, you're right.
May this day be the best of
birthdays, celebrating you and
all things you love. Well, thank
you, Chris and I appreciate a
John C Dvorak: nice note. It's a
very anonymous nights in Lewis
Barry, B, E, R, R, Y, next to
Wallace Berry, Pennsylvania,
two, 421, 10. Appreciate you
guys and the value you bring.
I'm hoping to be in
Fredericksburg on Monday, 26 if
you're free for dinner, he's
gonna buy dinner or she. I
Adam Curry: don't know it's a
he, it is. Yes, if
John C Dvorak: possible, please
play. JC, these jobs, they lap
it up. Clip, which he emailed to
you,
Adam Curry: I'm not gonna play
it because I know that you're
gonna hate it.
John C Dvorak: Okay, well then
don't play. It's, it's
Adam Curry: you saying all kinds
of lewd things.
John C Dvorak: We don't want
that. No. And it's like, I think
the Nutting The peanuts is bad
Adam Curry: and Oh, then you'll
hate, you'll hate this one. No.
So I don't need
John C Dvorak: to be ridiculed.
I know. And that's normally on
the show. You're not.
Adam Curry: You are revered. You
are revered. John C Dvorak,
yeah, yeah,
John C Dvorak: just get that mic
and get this mic. So get me a
cup of coffee.
Adam Curry: By the way. May I
make note of the fact that the
Trump campaign, who of course,
still text me 20 times a day,
they have, they have gone, and
it's just a trend. I just want
to mention it to you. They are
now going for $10 every text I
get is just $10
John C Dvorak: I need everyone
$2 $3 and $5 No,
Adam Curry: it's 10. I need
everyone reading this to give
$10 the fate of the country is
on the line. Okay, well,
John C Dvorak: so let's just
stop right there. And I will say
this. This has to have been
tested. They don't do this stuff
just out of the blue because
they're shooting, you know,
blanks. They somebody tested
this and determined that 10
bucks was the sweet spot. Well,
listen to
Adam Curry: this from Trump
colon, $10 question mark, if
everyone reading this gives $10
we'll outraise Kamala after her
convention ends. This is not a
good strategy. Well, I hear, Oh,
I'm sorry. Well, this is Oh.
This is interesting from Trump.
If, from Trump, if every Patriot
in California chips in $5 before
my rally will break records.
Well, the Californians are cheap
on the Cali's.
John C Dvorak: That's
interesting. So you're getting
this to your California phone
number. Idea, yes, yes, and
Adam Curry: everything is $10
$10 $10 now listen to this one
inbox, 99% full message from
Donald Trump Jr will delete in
10 minutes. Read Now that's
insulting.
John C Dvorak: That is bull
crap.
Adam Curry: It's very insulting.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, I'm
glad you're that. You're the
touchstone the lightning rod. I.
Adam Curry: I'm so mad at these
guys. You're
John C Dvorak: the lightning rod
for this crap. I
Adam Curry: am. A lot of pig
butchering going, I
John C Dvorak: mean, I could be,
but I don't know. You don't have
a cell phone. My phone is in the
drawer where it belongs. Josh
Bates
Adam Curry: is in Jacksonville,
Florida, and sends us 343 75 ITM
just baby making. Karma, please.
One boy, please. Because if it's
a girl and gets her jeans, I'm
gonna have to send it to a
nunnery on the moon. Thank you
both. No problem. Here it is for
you. You've
Unknown: got Parma.
John C Dvorak: Here we go.
OYSTEIN. OYSTEIN. Oistin,
oistin, I'm sorry, oistin Berg,
and he's in Rotterdam, 2220,
we're already at the Associate
Executive level. Yep, that ended
quick. Yep, it sure did with
this donation. I would like to
bump my peerage up from Baron de
vicount. You're on the list. I
have no accounting to show other
than I know for sure I have
donated more than $5,000 to the
show. That's a good number, if
it pleases the court and all the
marshals I would like to be.
Well, of course it does. You can
be whatever you want. We don't
have that many Viscounts.
Curiously, they usually skip
over it to become the Viscount
of the province, South Holland.
Thank you for your courage.
Okay,
Adam Curry: oistin, I met
OYSTEIN at the Amsterdam meetup.
This is the guy, well, he's
about eight feet tall, weighs
about 160 pounds. He's very
thin, but has a OYSTEIN, he's
not Dutch, it's, he's from, I
think, Denmark. So he's a very
Nordic looking face. And he
also, he does, he does value for
value music,
John C Dvorak: which is, what
does he do? Oh, he
Adam Curry: does songs.
John C Dvorak: I mean, sing. Is
he a singer, a guitar player?
Well, listen,
Adam Curry: I'll play a little
bit for you. Hold on a second.
This is mosquito mystery by
oistin Berger. Get to
Unknown: the singing part. Here
we
Adam Curry: go. He has this
whole song about mosquitoes.
It's very joyful. It needs more
bagpipe. But otherwise, is
great. The bagpipe
John C Dvorak: is, I think the
bagpipes should be used more.
Adam Curry: I agree. It's right
up there with the banjo. It's,
he's a great guy. So we'll see
you for your your upgrade in a
bit. Oy steamberger, Megan
richly in Boise, Idaho, $210
Associate Executive producership
for Megan in the morning
general. And this is the
rightly, rightly. It says
richly, right there, pronounced
richly. But that is saying,
John C Dvorak: I think is
rightly. I know I see that
there, but I think she's got it
wrong.
Adam Curry: Megan, you're
pronouncing your own name wrong.
That's slick. John, this is the
best birthday gift for the best
husband in the universe. Happy
58th birthday, David, he
celebrates today. We've been
together for over 30 years and
never had a fight. He hit me in
the mouth years ago, and we have
listened together ever since.
Keep up the good work, and we
would appreciate some karma
dealers choice for jingle. I
actually, I went and looked for
one, a very old one. This is an
old one that we used to play
when we before the Russia,
Ukraine war. This goes back.
This one goes back maybe 10
years or so
Unknown: you've got Karma The
much.
John C Dvorak: I don't remember
that one. Yeah, I know you like
the coffee guys up. And he's in
bensonville, Illinois, 208, 25
and he says, Keep up the good
work, gentlemen. Uh, shows have
been great lately. But if you
could use more African news, or
you could use more African news,
sorry, watch the line there the
producers who went or went doing
it again, yeah, who want fresh,
roasted, affordable coffee visit
gigawatt Coffee roasters.com and
use the code ITM for 20% off
your order. ITM, Hmm, good idea.
ITM, 20 stay caffeinated. Eli,
the coffee guy, another self
promotion donation, which is
good. Phil
Adam Curry: Barnett, Brentwood,
Tennessee, $200.02 that's a nice
Palindrome switcheroo. He says,
For my smoking hot wife,
Christy. Let me put that in
right away. Christy, okay,
celebrating her birthday on
Sunday. That's today. How about
a biscuit? For her birthday.
Well, of course, they
Unknown: always give me a
biscuit on my birthday. There
you go.
John C Dvorak: Linda lopatkin is
up, and she's last on the list
shortlist today, a Lakewood,
Colorado, 200 bucks, which is
very similar to her last
donations. And she wants jobs
come for a faster, more exec, oh
man, for a faster, more
effective job search. She
writes, visit image makers.
Inc.com, that's image makers.
Inc, with a K, go your go to for
executive resume and job search
needs and work with Linda Lou,
Duchess of jobs and writer of
resumes. So here's,
Adam Curry: here's another
reason. Go love her. We don't
take advertising. We can't get a
read straight the minute the
pressure is so on. It's so hard
to do. The people are donating
to other shows. John and saying,
you know, for for us for an
effective job search, there's
something viral about this,
which is funny. Linda. Thank you
very much. Jobs,
Unknown: jobs and jobs.
Adam Curry: There you go.
Executive and Associate
Executive producers of Episode
1689, you can take these credits
and use them wherever credits of
the show biz variety are
recognized, just like JJ Abrams
is going to put his I did the
DNC 2024 gonna put that on his
IMDB? Think he will. Well, you
can be proud of your production
of the no agenda show, and you
can go to imdb.com add it to
your list if you're already on
there. If not, you can open one
or put it in your LinkedIn
profile. It looks cool. You can
always say I'm producer,
executive or Associate Executive
Producer of the best podcast in
universe. Thank you again for
helping us out producing episode
1689
Unknown: our formula is this, we
go out. We hit people in the
mouth shut.
John C Dvorak: Oh, I want to
start off with something that
you are want to talk about, No,
all right, and that is the
reemergence of the six week
cycle. Yeah, yes, yes, yes. And
I have a clip which explains
what happened.
Unknown: 66 year old Ronald
siverud is behind bars tonight
Sean after he allegedly
threatened to kill former
President Trump on social media
now, sivru was taken into
custody in Cochise County
without incident today, that
according to a spokeswoman for
the sheriff's office there, the
66 year old has several
outstanding warrants on separate
charges, including for a DUI and
for failing to appear in court
in Wisconsin, he's also wanted
for failing to register as a sex
offender, as well as a hit and
run in the state of Arizona.
Clearly, he's got issues now the
threat comes just six weeks,
just six weeks, just six weeks
after former President Trump
survived an assassination
attempt in Butler Pennsylvania,
Sid Rouge. Rap sheet also
includes over a dozen aliases,
17 by my count, and multiple
felonies. Well,
Adam Curry: this is another
bonus for those agents, because
if you intervene, there's an
intervention that you get a
bonus. They need to tie it into
something from international
level. But this guy doesn't look
like he has anything to do with
Iran at all. He's
John C Dvorak: one ugly guy,
Adam Curry: you know, I I had a
clip earlier from inside
edition. I happened to have
another inside edition clip. We
used to play more inside
edition, I think, back in the
day. So it was fun to see what
they're up to, and they had this
story as well with a tag. Five
Unknown: Secret Service agents
have been placed on leave
following last month's
assassination attempt in
Pennsylvania. There are
multiple Secret Service
officials who have
been put on leave. At least five
Secret Service members put on
leave. Four of them are from the
Pittsburgh field office,
including the Special Agent in
Charge, that, to me, would be a
likely indication that the agent
in charge made some very bad
calls.
Trump may be breathing a little
easier today, following the
arrest of a convicted sex
offender who allegedly
threatened to kill him, the
suspect was arrested last night
at a traffic stop in Arizona.
Trump learned about the plot
moments before this interview
with news nation at the Arizona
border.
We're in danger standing here
talking, so let's not talk any
longer. No, I know about it, but
they don't want me standing
here. They don't want you
standing here
Adam Curry: either. Oh, man, I
pray for him. Yeah, they would
be pretty bad six weeks. Yes,
well, typical, that's we have
some real problems here in
America with our intelligence
community. Real problems this
Solingen in Germany. I'm
familiar with Solingen, not that
and nothing's really far from
Holland. But this is not that
far from Holland. I have the ABC
report, and then we have a. A
late breaking report from
deutscheville. Here's the ABC
giving us the rundown tonight,
Unknown: an urgent manhunt now
underway in Germany for the
person authorities say is
responsible for a violent
stabbing attack in the city of
zollingen Friday night, ISIS now
claiming responsibility for the
incident which left at least
three people dead and eight more
injured. The city's mayor saying
last night, our hearts were torn
apart. We in zollingen are full
of horror and grief, emergency
calls coming in just after
9:30pm local time, the
unidentified individual
attacking people with a knife in
the middle of the crowded
festival of diversity
commemorating the city's 150th
anniversary, an organizer at a
stage nearby urging festival
goers to keep calm, but also
your eyes open, because the
perpetrator is on the run. The
crime scene cordoned off.
Forensics Team searching the
area for evidence. The attack
occurring in the audience in
front of this stage, the lights
above it still operating today
as mourners gather nearby a
growing memorial of flowers and
candles honoring the victims two
men, ages 56 and 67 and a 56
year old woman did not survive.
Police announcing a 15 year old
is now under arrest. They say
they don't believe he was the
attacker, but suspect him of
knowing about it in advance.
Tonight, a police operation
underway at this refugee housing
complex after they say they
received a tip in the case,
authorities making a second
arrest there.
Adam Curry: Yeah, so turns out
this guy starts stabbing people
in the neck. I have boots on the
ground for this, shouted oliwach
bar. Somehow this is blamed on
ISIS. But if you listen to the
deutscheville report, we quickly
see that this is just another
unhappy newcomer. German
Unknown: police say a 26 year
old Syrian man has confessed to
carrying out a knife attack in
the western city of zollingen
that killed three people and
injured eight others earlier.
The so called Islamic State
claimed it was behind Friday
night's attack on the festival,
but provided no evidence. Police
and prosecutors report that the
suspect turned himself in.
Police Officers move in on the
refugee center in Solingen, they
detained one man and questioned
several others.
We are getting a lot of tips,
and we have to investigate every
single one of them. When a tip
becomes more concrete, then we
take action. We have to wait for
the results of this
investigation, and then we can
say more.
Earlier, the center of zollingen
was cordoned off and the search
for the killer widened. The
attack during a diversity
festival has left the city in
shock.
Adam Curry: Yeah, so the whole
diversity festival part, it's
all this is, this is the new
normal. You look at knife crime,
of course, there are no guns in
Europe to speak of. A man was
stabbed in the center of
Amsterdam, actually not fair. I
mean, around the corner, almost
from where I used to live,
Prince rosecraft. I mean, that
is a stone's throw from my old
house. That happened yesterday
or the day before, South Wales,
Newport, another stabbing
Sydney, six people injured after
knife man rampage. And the
common denominator, I hate to
say it is asylum seekers and
immigrants in general that is
the common denominator, and it's
just being papered over with us.
ISIS, please. ISIS,
John C Dvorak: unhappy newcomer,
I think, is the term we're
looking for. That's a good show
title to unhappy newcomer. Yeah.
When's the unhappy newcomers?
They're here? Yeah, in the
United States, they let in a,
you know, 10 million of them,
more, more than that, probably
2010, to 20. But I'll go
conservative and say 10, yeah,
just to be nice, yeah. Uh. When
do they become unhappy and
starts doing what they you know,
we can use guns here. So it'd
be, you know, if you shoot
somebody in the middle of a
crowd, it makes such a noise
that people are alerted. Guns
are safer than
Adam Curry: knives, yeah, knives
that cause much more
destruction, and it's really
painful. Did you recall two
shows ago, we were talking about
the that bogative story about
the 2.9 billion social security
numbers, which, of course, is
not true
John C Dvorak: yet, right? More
Yes. And I said,
Adam Curry: Be on the lookout.
Be on the lookout for some kind
of legislation. Well, this came
from multiple sources. The Biden
administration is working to
expedite widespread adoption of
digital IDs, including driver's
licenses and will be put into a
draft executive order. And it
looks like login.gov will be a.
The portal that we will be asked
to use for this, Oh, that'll
John C Dvorak: be hacked. Yeah.
I
Adam Curry: mean, it's probably
the worst idea ever, Eva, but it
is coming an executive order.
And how long will it take before
you need that to do anything?
Your ISP will require it to go
online. I mean, you can just see
you coming down Broadway. I know
you think it's un American,
which it is, but I feel they're
going to do this. They're going
to they don't want people being
anonymous online. That's the
ultimate goal,
John C Dvorak: ultimate the
public's one account for
government. I'm looking at it
now. Yeah, blogin.gov,
login.gov. Is for you.
Individuals, use one account for
secure, private access to
participating government
agencies. Yeah, baby, no one
account for government. Learn
how to go you create an account
now.
Adam Curry: Yes, go ahead.
Create an account. Get ahead.
Get get a jump on it, John, get
a Gmail address.
John C Dvorak: We recommend a
personal email address that
you'll always be able to access,
rather than a work email address
you already have an account with
login.gov with that email
address, we'll send you an email
to let you know how you can
reset your password and oh,
yeah, okay, yeah, secure
passwords. Yes, yeah, one or
more. Oh, now you need this. You
need one or more authentication
methods, such as face or touch
for unlock security key
authentication application, but
that's the one federal
government employee or military
identification, and it's less
secure if you use a test, a text
or voice message or backup
codes. You
Adam Curry: know what graphene
OS just released? You know
graphene OS is this alternative
de Googled Android operating
system, which makes many smart?
Finagled. Finagled, yeah.
Finagled, yeah. So they just
released a new feature you can
add so you know, you can you log
in with your passcode. You know,
your bunch of numbers, like a
number pad, blah, blah, blah,
they've added a feature where
you can have a secondary
sequence of numbers, and if you
enter that so you know, the
police will say, give us your
PIN code. Give us your PIN code
to unlock your phone. And you
give them that code, it
immediately starts erasing the
entire device, or
John C Dvorak: you give them the
second code, yeah, exactly the
second code is a is a kill
switch. Yes, it's
Adam Curry: fantastic. I love
it. Well, yeah,
John C Dvorak: well, no, it's a
great idea.
Adam Curry: Until they Well,
they won't be happy, but they
won't be happy.
John C Dvorak: What if they grab
the phone,
Adam Curry: no, they grab the
phone, and then what they'll
say, give me your passcode.
John C Dvorak: Okay? And then
they get to they get the fake
passcode. If they smart enough
to see as a graphene OS, they
