Unknown: I'm here in my personal
capacity again. Adam
curry, John C Dvorak,
third, 2024,
Adam Curry: this is your award
winning give our nation media
assassination episode 1700
Douche: This is no agenda
Adam Curry: celebrating like
Commodores 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
John C Dvorak: and from Northern
Silicon Valley, where we
understand they're bulldozing
the living of the dead in North
Carolina to get to the lithium.
I'm Justin vorac. It's Craig
Vaughn and
Unknown: buzzkill in the
morning.
Adam Curry: But before, before
we get into that, may I
congratulate you sir, on 1700
episodes of the best podcast in
the universe. And May and May I
congratulate all the producers
who've contributed to this
program over almost 17 years
John C Dvorak: it has been and
may I congratulate you, sir.
Adam Curry: Yes, please sir. Do
so I feel like I need it.
Whoever thought I remember after
episode, 100
John C Dvorak: Yeah, one you
quit? Yeah,
Adam Curry: good run.
John C Dvorak: That was a great
run. We did 100 shows. Let's
quit. Let's
Adam Curry: quit. We're good to
go. What happened? I don't know.
We just kept on chugging, kept
on going on, going on, going on.
Where
John C Dvorak: it's a public
service, that's why, and you
have a public service mentality,
Adam Curry: well, then there's a
good point. We do it. We do do
it as a public service.
John C Dvorak: I think it's a
public service in many ways.
Well, calms people down. Yeah?
It helps people, you know, doing
rash things or thinking weirdly,
oddly.
Adam Curry: Yes, it keeps
families together, not always or
not, or it breaks the families
up that really deserved it.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, probably
it. Probably yeah. Sooner than
later,
Adam Curry: yeah, you'll test
your your relationships with
this show, that's for sure. Oh
John C Dvorak: yeah, if you're
if your relationship involves
one of the two people being
something of a knee jerk
lunatic,
Adam Curry: and I feel super
blessed today, because not only
is it episode 1700 which we all
share, we all share in this,
because without the producers,
we would be nowhere. I received
two People's Choice Awards,
yeah, the 19th.
John C Dvorak: Wait from, the
way, let me guess two People's
Choice Awards from, oh, don't
get too org. I assume it's from
two or different organizations.
Oh, it's
Adam Curry: from the same
organization. It's the 19th
annuals, people, People's Choice
Podcast Awards, which is the, as
far as I'm concerned, the
original Podcast Awards that
Todd Cochran does from
blueberry, and you
John C Dvorak: win something
from him some time ago,
Adam Curry: oh, a Hall of Fame.
Like 10 years ago, I was
inducted into the into the first
Hall of Fame
Unknown: for, like, best
producer, okay,
Adam Curry: um, no, this is, uh,
I receive both the listener and
podcaster influencer of the Year
award. I'm sorry, the influences
are determined by the total
number of write ins by listeners
and podcasters. That's 800
podcasters and 5.1 million
listeners who participated.
John C Dvorak: So 5.1 million
people voted for you. Well,
because you're influential.
Well, they,
Adam Curry: they, they voted. I
don't know if all 5.1 but a
majority did, I guess, or more
than the others, I think it's as
an independent second there's no
second place. There's no second
place. Oh, there's no winning.
No, there's no winning. It's
just holding hands and telling a
secret. So, yes,
John C Dvorak: um. Well,
congratulations on this. You get
a big trophy, a big giant.
Adam Curry: If I send Todd, $75
for each trophy, I get a trophy.
John C Dvorak: This is like the
who's who book.
Adam Curry: Well, you used to
get a trophy, but then, you
know, budget slash podcasting
isn't what it used to be. You
know, there's not no more big
sponsors like, oh yeah, there's
also so many award shows who can
keep track. Anyway. Yes, it is a
sad day or a sad week for the
American government. And I will
say it for several reasons. But
first, it. When your people
don't trust you, conspiracy
theories run rampant. Bless you
and and it really is sad,
because the people have so
little distrust, so so little
trust in in in the American
government, in the federal
government, for sure that
they'll, you know, they will
just get sucked into any
conspiracy theory. And this one
was going rampant, from people
there, from people who I know
it's all and I think there
John C Dvorak: is I told a guy
who told a guy who told a guy,
yeah,
Adam Curry: I was there when it
happened. Now there is So, okay,
do you want? Do you don't have a
clip of it? Do you didn't? You
didn't actually clipped that
nonsense.
John C Dvorak: I'm sure. What
people being bulldozed? No
living and dead. Well,
Adam Curry: the bulldozing might
actually be happening. I don't
know about that. I've seen any
John C Dvorak: evidence of it,
but the they can't even get cars
in there. How they gonna get a
bulldozer in? The big, okay, the
Adam Curry: big conspiracy
theory meme that was going
around is that this was harp
this. This was weather
modification to flood the entire
area where the lithium is, to
declare eminent domain and take
it. Now, there's a couple, a
couple things with this, and
John C Dvorak: they're also
going to take the courts, don't
forget that well, the there's
something,
Adam Curry: well, there is
something to be said for the
courts minds. The courts minds
are, they are important quartz
minds. But when it comes to
eminent domain, people should
look up how eminent domain
works. You
John C Dvorak: know, let's stop
before you continue with the
quartz mine thing, because I got
some notes. Well, let's
Adam Curry: stay with them. I
John C Dvorak: got to correct
you about the importance of
these quartz of mines. Okay? I
called up a chip company. Oh,
wait for operation. There you
go. And talk to the one of the
directors, and he says that he
never even heard of this place.
He says, then, really, this
operate? There's courts all over
the country, all over the world
by the silica that they want,
for the for the chips the quartz
make. They use the quartz to
make crucibles and other things.
It's not like it's part of the
necessarily an aspect the quartz
as a chip, the foundation, a
big, giant wafer, which is a
grown silicon crystal. They call
it. They used to be called
crystals. Now they're called
ingots. They're not made from
quartz.
Adam Curry: Well, what is the
quartz used for? It's
John C Dvorak: used for making
all kinds of stuff. Quartz is a
valuable product. I have a
quartz beaker well,
Adam Curry: but hold on a
second. Just stick with. Stick
with because the headlines are
and this is important, and I'm
glad you called someone up that.
Okay, I even have a Wired
article from 2018 that's
John C Dvorak: the key to the
whole thing, wired the Wired
article. In fact, somebody sent
me the Wired article. I won't
say who it is. It's a mutual
friend. Well, let me
Adam Curry: just read the let me
just read the head, the sub
graph, or the important graph,
whatever you guys call it, the
process the nut. Then let me
read the nut. Let me fist this
nut for you. The processor that
makes your laptop or cell phone
work was fabricated using quartz
from this obscure Appalachian
backwater, okay, debunk this
bullcrap. Okay. And why is it
both? It's just
John C Dvorak: the courts
places. They were all over the
world, these courts operations,
but apparently
Adam Curry: this is the cleanest
courts ever. Oh, bull who cares
John C Dvorak: to get this stuff
is refined, refined anyway. It's
like a salt mine is all this
salt has got less contaminants
than the other salt, I read that
article that the article is
exaggerating everything it's and
it's written by, as far as I'm
concerned, like the some of
these Atlantic writers, just a
nudge character exaggerating the
situation. It's an exaggeration.
All right.
Adam Curry: Well, good. I mean,
I
John C Dvorak: know it was
dramatized. A guy comes into the
restaurant. He's got powder.
It's fine as cocaine. I'm hoping
nobody busts us, because I got
this fine Look at this. This
comes from this one place nobody
else has. Oh, my God, oh, whoa,
whoa, whoa. This is
unbelievable. And it got caught
up as everyone that Oh, right,
right. Magic quartz mine in
North Carolina, okay, and it's
like the lithium is the same way
lithium, lithium, the main
lithium deposits the United
States. Just look it up.
Adam Curry: It's Nevada, Nevada
and Nevada.
John C Dvorak: Well, and in the
world, Bolivia, we're fourth
place. Bolivia's got the most.
They
Adam Curry: better send some
harp over to Bolivia then to
capture that, that lithium,
John C Dvorak: yeah, I mean this
whole exaggeration about what's
going on in North Carolina, and
then throwing this, this quartz
based on that Wired article, and
lithium, lithium, this is going
to be the key. We got to steal
it. And. Is the government going
to do with it?
Adam Curry: And then the whole,
I love how they just throw out
eminent domain, which I hear a
lot, oh, eminent domain. Eminent
domain must be used in the
public interest. It's very
difficult, although there was a
court case where they actually
tried it. Not too long ago, they
tried to say, well, we're going
to sell it to this public
company or to this private
company, because it would
benefit the economics in the
region. You know now, just,
just, let's just go to the last
time we heard eminent domain. Do
you remember that? It wasn't
that long ago? It was the Maui
fire. Same thing, they use
sapphire blue beam laser.
Everything that was blue didn't
fry all the elites houses.
They're going to take our land
and under eminent domain. So so
the the mount the county, did
actually propose eminent domain
over a swath of land where they
dumped all of the fire debris,
and the federal judge even
knocked that down so there was
no eminent domain. What will
happen, I'm quite sure, is
people will look at what they
can get from these bogative
insurance companies, which it
may even be the insurance
companies launching this
nonsense, because you're not
going to get the value for your
home. And then, you know, the
prospectors come in. They say,
Well, how about I buy this from
you for more than you get from
your insurance company, and what
are you going to do?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I would
sell it to the speculator. Yes,
I
Adam Curry: would think that the
insurance companies are
launching this nonsense.
John C Dvorak: I never
considered that, but that's a
distinct possibility. Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah. Anyway, it is
very sad. There's a we have a
lot of producers, particularly
in the Asheville area in
Northwest Tennessee. There's
this. This blew my mind. We were
just talking about op way, the
the handmade leather sneaker
company who wanted to make a no
agenda sneaker. Yeah, entire
factory wiped away. Well, that's
terrible. Yes. Then Justin, and
you know, he had just sent us
this note saying how proud he
was that, you know, they weren't
loser millennials, and they had
been listening to the show while
building this, this company, and
they put all their money into
the factory and is completely
wiped away, and the pictures are
just disheartening,
heartbreaking. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it's a mess.
Yeah, happy. The government has
done a piss poor job. We can
agree on that. Well, there's
Adam Curry: a couple of things
about that. Yes, the government
has done pretty much nothing.
But what I'm hearing is that
there are Chinook 60s and 40
sevens that are that have not
been able to take off and do
anything, which is a National
Guard, because title 10 has not
been enacted, and what I'm
hearing is that the state is
saying, No, we don't want
federal help under Title 10,
because we don't want to become
the mess that Katrina was, which
is interesting. I have no
corroboration, but I also have
nothing. I have no Governor
talking. I have no mayor talk.
Have you seen any of these local
officials do any kind of new
news conference
John C Dvorak: if I mean, it's
not that they might not be doing
them, but we just haven't seen
it
Adam Curry: well, I have looked
and I haven't been able to find
anything.
John C Dvorak: But why? Here's
all. We want to send some
choppers over the stand down
order. We've gotten stand down.
That's,
Adam Curry: it's. There is
something going on, by the
John C Dvorak: way, when they
say this, I've seen a lot of
these videos, tick tocks filled
with them. Who's, who's giving
the stand down order. They,
yeah. It's always, they, yeah.
Adam Curry: What? What this does
show and I love this part about
this disaster, is the American
people, when it comes down to
it, will help each other. They
don't sit around and wait for
the government. And for the
first time in my life as a ham
radio operator, the hams
actually are doing a good job. I
mean, I've been listening on the
repeater. And they're doing
everything from locating people
to finding, hey, I need 100 foot
of four Yeah, but I've never
heard them actually do it. And
the emergency network, it was
good, and it's ongoing, it's
they're handing off, and they
were doing 24 hour emergency
net. That was, that was quite
spectacular. I love the people
were calling up Lincoln airport
and donating, basically buying
gas for airplanes and
helicopters, private helicopters
that were just flying stuff
around. People were using drones
to fly insulin out to people who
were stuck. I. You know that is,
that's America. We don't care
who you are, what your political
beliefs are. When it comes down
to it, the Americans help each
other. I love that part, and now
I just have to understand, how
did this happen? Telling me that
40 trillion gallons of rain
fell,
Unknown: huh?
Adam Curry: Did a damn dam must
have broken. Something must have
happened to create this flood.
I, I'm, I'm, besides climate
change, of course,
Unknown: what happened?
John C Dvorak: You're asking me,
I'm not a meteorologist. No, a
Adam Curry: lot of rain. All
we're getting is climate change
nonsense. Well, that doesn't
help. No, it doesn't. I have a
47 second update from NBC,
former President
Unknown: Trump arriving in
Georgia with the Christian
humanitarian relief organization
Samaritan's Purse, trying to
make a political issue out of
the federal government's
response.
They're not being responsive.
The federal government is not
being responsive. The former
president falsely claiming,
President Biden had refused to
get on the phone with elected
officials like Georgia's
Republican Governor Brian Kemp,
both the White House and Kemp
say the two leaders spoke the
night before. He
just said, Hey, what do you
need? He offered that if there's
other things we need, just to
call him directly, which I
appreciate that.
A furious president, Biden says
Trump is making things up. He's
lying, and the governor told him
he was lying. I care about what
he says about me. I care what he
what he communicates to people
that are in need. Yeah, I'm
Adam Curry: glad we politicized
it. Now. That's great. That's
fantastic. Good job everybody.
Good job you do, yeah, now and
then we had the magic number
popping up everywhere. The
Unknown: death toll across
several states now stands at
more than 130 according to the
Associated Press, in the wake of
Hurricane Helene, and that is
expected to rise as hundreds of
people in hard hit western North
Carolina are listed as missing.
Search and Rescue efforts
continue as authorities try to
reach towns left inaccessible by
washed out roads, especially in
the Asheville area. Vice
President Kamala Harris says
FEMA is working hard
so far, more than 3300 federal
personnel are on the ground to
assist with recovery efforts.
They are deploying food, water
and generators, and we continue
to work with teams on the ground
to restore water and power as
quickly as possible. President
Biden is expected to visit the
area tomorrow, and he will get
an aerial tour of Asheville.
Former President Donald Trump
visited Helene's impact on
Valdosta, Georgia. Yesterday,
Adam Curry: I was scouring
through the completely insecure,
no agenda telegram groups. I was
little disappointed. I mean,
we've had meetups in the area. I
thought at least some people
would be on the telegram groups,
communicating or seeing if they
could help anybody. And all that
I really saw was the lithium.
Lithium, yeah, so that was, that
was a little disappointing,
John C Dvorak: by the way. You
mentioned, what was the tonnage
of rain that you mentioned, 40
trillion
Adam Curry: according to, uh,
well, New York one. All right,
that comes from AP, 40 true. How
John C Dvorak: many, how many
trillion was dumped on during
Katrina? I have no idea. Yeah,
there you go. There's nothing to
compare that to, no
Adam Curry: but you know the
levees broke. I mean, I don't
know it. Just it feels to me
like something else happened
here, and I know that some dams
were in danger of breaking. I'm
not sure of any. We just, we
basically have no information,
none, as usual, no information
other than it's a tragedy. It's
an absolute tragedy. France, 24
of course, good little servants
that they are, they took it to
the political realm. And why
not? Fraser,
Unknown: Joe Biden, then
visiting some of the worst hit
areas this hurricane, government
agencies had, of course, been
tracking it, giving warnings
about its strength. But the very
future of those agencies and the
work that they do, they could be
under threat by a potential
Trump presidency.
Yeah, this is all revolving
around something called Project
2025, which is blueprint for a
future Republican. You
Adam Curry: believe this? Can
you believe they did this? Oh,
you think
John C Dvorak: that's it? It's
the Heritage Foundation is
responsible and
Unknown: presidency put forward
by a conservative think tank
called the Heritage Foundation.
Trump says that he doesn't have
anything to do with this
project, 2025 he said a lot of
the people who are the
architects of this mandate are
former Trump officials. So a lot
of the Democrats United States
are saying that this is what
Donald Trump would be using if
he were to get reelected. Under
it, it calls for a host of
different things, but some of
the federal agencies. That this
mandate would dismantle, or at
least massively restructure,
include FEMA, who are overseeing
the disaster relief in the wake
of this hurricane, and also NOAA
as well, which is the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration now, NOAA has a
lot under its mandate, including
weather forecasting, but also
climate monitoring as well as
coastal restoration and
fisheries and more, Mondays
affects about a third of the
American GDP, so it is a
significant Monday that it has,
and two of the organizations
which fall under it include the
National Weather Service and the
National Hurricane Center,
which, of course, both were
pivotal in tracking hurricane
Helene. Yeah,
Adam Curry: blah, blah, they
went on for another minutes with
this. Oh, ridiculous. Oh, the
more we won't have weather
reports. Weather reports,
John C Dvorak: yeah, they're
gonna shut it all down. No more.
2025, they
Adam Curry: were tracking it,
you know, if anything, they did
a horrible job, because they
underplayed the danger of this.
It was like, ah, it should be 85
mile an hour. You know, 35
gusting.
John C Dvorak: I watched the fox
weather channel more than I
should. And I have to say,
That's exactly true. And
remember, I told considering,
what do we see now, especially
with the bulldozing the living
and the dead, they underplayed
it to an extreme. It was like,
well, it's going to be gusts,
gusts of 90.
Adam Curry: And if you remember
I said, before this thing hit, I
said, I'm getting a lot of
notices from people saying they
find the reporting very, very
odd, very off kilter. Doesn't
sound right. And people were
saying that before it hit. And
there you go. If they had said,
hey, it's could be 40 trillion
somehow they know it's 40
trillion gallons. Well, I don't
know how they measure it, but
John C Dvorak: I don't know how
you do that either.
Adam Curry: But now it's like,
oh,
John C Dvorak: computer model,
yeah, there you go. And it's all
climate change, and probably
developed by AI, yes,
Adam Curry: with, uh, with cloud
seeding and, sapphire blue
laser.
John C Dvorak: I love this
sapphire blue laser story that
is actually my favorite. What,
Adam Curry: what I what I liked.
I was watching some C spam, and
people were mad. They were mad
at the media because the media
could not resist. You know this,
this is, this is a national
tragedy in multiple states,
Americans, you know, and oh,
man, which is, oh, we got new
evidence about Trump. We got
this. We got that. We got Oh, we
got a debate. People were mad
here from Ned in Georgia.
Independent line,
Unknown: yeah, sure. I'm calling
from haydenville, Georgia. You
mentioned Chick fil A earlier.
That's where Chick fil A was
invented. True. Cassie used to
flip hamburgers for me and my
dad. But I called to tell you
that if there's anything
important in this modern world,
sir, it's C span, you provide
the general population three
hours every day with an
opportunity to call in and say
something important. I want to
get off the line quickly,
because I'm hoping one day
somebody will call in and say,
Gee, I wonder how Julian Assange
is doing today, or how is what
Jamal Khashoggi, your fiance
doing today? We all hear 20
times a day, how greater or
whoever, what did it tell me, I
love my cheese, man, but I don't
want to hear people talking
about the weather in Mexico and
how well their dog can blow a
truck. Or I want to hear
something important. Did you
hear what Willie said about that
Palestinian issue? To you all,
you ain't hear more talk like
that. You want people asking
each other how they're doing
today. May I go now? Please.
Thank
Douche: you. We got this caller.
Let's hear from David. David in
Democrats line, North Carolina,
good
Unknown: morning. Good morning.
You're on. Go ahead. This
is looking for him. I'm
looking I'm looking at y'all
now, and they talking a bit
about North Carolina, that
people's dead in North Carolina,
in the mountain area, boom. This
just went
Adam Curry: on, but every single
station was oh, and we got a
little update, a little update
over here, how it's bad. Oh,
there's a house washing away.
They they're so removed from it,
really. It's just the media is
no good and the government, you
can't trust the government. You
can't trust your local
government. And you never
should. You never should.
John C Dvorak: What was the
idea? What do you mean? The idea
was never to trust the
government. That's where the
Constitution was written. It
was, it was all it was. The
whole thing was written as what
the government can't do? Yes,
Unknown: amen to that.
Adam Curry: And well, what the
government can't do is stock the
shelves. We said that this was
the real news of the day. It was
course before the her. Kane
Helene struck, but we've got
that. We've got that strike
going on now I have a clip.
Okay? What you got? I
John C Dvorak: L U strike,
Unknown: the big port. Strike
enters a day two with no sign of
progress in negotiations. We
take a deeper look at how the
strike could affect you? Okay,
Bag: 1000s of dock workers enter
day two of their massive strike,
shutting down 14 major US ports,
leaving many at a standstill. It
Unknown: starts to last long and
longer than one week, we're
going to start to see serious, I
would say, quite serious,
problems in supply chain.
Bag: Maritime business professor
John Paul Rodriguez says
consumers may not notice
anything in the first week, but
things will get more expensive
and scarcer very quickly. Harold
Daggett, president of the
International longshoremans
Association, has indicated that
union workers are willing to
strike for a very long time in
today's
Unknown: world, I'll cripple
you. I will cripple you
Bag: the effects of the strike
reaching even the president.
We're hearing
Unknown: from the folks recently
that they're having trouble
getting product they need
because of the poor strike. Sit
down and talk. Remember, we
negotiated a similar strike in
the west coast before, and they
worked it out. It's time they
won't even talk. So let's get
that done.
Bag: Major imports that will be
disrupted, retail goods, lumber,
electronics, furniture and food,
Unknown: or 98% of all the
coffee coming in this country
comes in containers. We may
start to see problems, also
tropical fruit, everything which
is cold chain related is going
to quickly be disrupted. And
consumers at a grocery store, on
the store shelves, or even
buying stuff online, are going
to start to notice, yes, so
Adam Curry: that bit of him, I
will cripple you. We played on
the on the last show. I have an
update here. When Harold
Daggett, he is the president of
the ILA of the Union, was on the
picket line, and he he laid out
a bit more about his demands and
how angry everybody really is.
Are
Unknown: you worried that this
strike is going to hurt the
everyday American, the farmers
that need to reach the reach the
export
market? Listen now you start to
realize who the Longshoremen
are. Right? Nobody cares. People
never gave a about us until now,
when they finally realized that
the chain is being broke. Now,
bras won't come in, food won't
come in, clothing won't come in.
You know how many people depend
on our jobs? Half the world, and
it's time for them, time for
Washington to put so much
pressure on them to take care of
us, because we took care of
them, and we're here 135 years,
and brought them where they are
today, and they don't want to
share.
One question, what will it take
to get you back into
negotiations? What
do you want to hear? Okay? You
want to hear it? $5 across the
board, for six years, all I can
tell I want all my container
royalty, 5050, split. It all
comes back to the ILA, where it
used to be. What was the other
one? Automation, stronger
language to get me back to the
table. If I don't get that, I'm
not coming back to the table.
And if we have to be out here a
month or two months, this world
will collapse. Go blame them. Go
blame me. Blame them.
Adam Curry: Before we get to the
collapse part, we have, we have,
of course, the best producers in
the universe on all sides of
this, one of our truck drivers,
boots on the ground, who gets
containers out of the ports in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Delaware. He says, the one thing
that wasn't mentioned, I hadn't
heard the union was asking for
the same pay between ports.
Apparently, the New York port
workers get paid a lot more than
the Delaware port workers. But
the big thing, he says, is
automation, and this is really
the issue the West Coast. I
think a lot of it is already
automated. And he says, as to
automation, I can understand
them not wanting it, but when I
as a truck driver, get into a
port to pick up a container, get
told I don't know where it is,
and I got to drive around and
find it for myself, they
definitely need to do something
better. We need a better system.
And I think what, what they're
saying here is you've got to pay
us off if you want to bring in
automation. And that's
inevitable. And of course, it's
billed as AI now it's just
automation which will be safer.
And there's a lot of you know,
China has all
John C Dvorak: every night is
almost fully automated. Yeah,
Adam Curry: and yeah. I mean,
that is one of those horse and
buggy jobs that will have to go
away. And automation is not some
mythical AI. It's just
automation. It's robotics, which
I think we need, and we even
heard a lot about it with during
covid That truck drivers
couldn't find what they were
looking for. It's very, very
different. Call. Now the thing
that now, of course, there's a
lot of impact that everyone has
thoughts on. Here's the CBC with
their report, and then I have
another boots on the ground.
Unknown: This strike will at
least delay delivery of
everything from car parts to
alcohol, furniture to cotton and
wood.
Yeah, we have, we have
containers that are at sea.
That's Anthony
for Musa, president of National
Produce Marketing in Toronto.
He's scrambling to get
containers carrying mangoes from
Brazil and pineapples from Costa
Rica to a port so they can
offload before that produce goes
bad.
The value of those containers is
going to be, I'll tell you, if
you're looking at about, you
know, 30 to $40,000 US
per container. He says a day or
two is manageable, but after
that, those mangoes and
pineapples will start to rot.
Pascal Chan, from the Canadian
Chamber of Commerce, says the
potential hit to businesses gets
big fast. That
daily trade value is
estimated in excess of 2.1
billion US dollars, and then
given the amount of trade goods
and services that flow across
the countries, it's $3.6 billion
across the border every day.
Shipping companies have known
this strike was a possibility,
so they've been rerouting
containers for months. Ports
unaffected by the Labor Action
have seen record levels of cargo
since August, so there won't be
immediate shortages, but even if
both sides reach a deal, Danny
Munch, an economist with the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
says it could take months to
sort through the backlog. A two
Douche: to three day strike will
take two weeks to clear. A one
week strike will bring us into
November, and then two week
strike will bring us into early
next year before those
containers and ships will be
processed.
Unknown: The Biden
administration has been under
pressure to intervene, but for
now, we'll only say collective
bargaining is the best way for
workers to get the pay and
benefits they deserve.
Adam Curry: So let's stick with
the with the shipping part. So
again, from the trucking
industry, they have a podcast,
believe it or not, and they have
an update on inventory, so stuff
that is already on shore that
needs to be shipped into to
destinations within the United
States, it
Unknown: is day two of the
International longshoremen
Association union strike at East
and Gulf Coast ports.
Repercussions are rippling into
industries across the country,
and one of those is trucking.
And joining us now is Chris
spear, CEO and president of
American Trucking associations.
Chris, it is good to see you. So
let's dig right into the strike.
Chris, I'm curious you know the
impact, the ripple effects
you're seeing in your industry,
the trucking industry? Well,
Josh, we're not even two days
into this strike, and we're
already seeing 62 container
ships scrambled that were
inbound at East and ghost Gulf
Coast ports carrying nearly
500,000 containers. My industry
moves as an example, 12,000 of
those boxes a day at New York,
New Jersey, we're already
tracking multiple ports and
seeing the activity diminish in
Savannah and Houston, 100% shut
down in activity for trucks. If
you go a little further out in
Savannah, you're seeing truck
activity and warehousing down
60% as those supplies and
inventories begin to deplete in
Houston, 20% but obviously more
warehousing there than in
Savannah. So we're seeing the
activity really quickly unfold
and probably by through this
weekend. If this strike
continues, those inventories
will be gone. So we
Adam Curry: heard that shipping
companies have been rerouting
for many months in anticipation
of this, and one of our
producers comes in anonymously,
who works for the largest
railroad in the United States.
He says, We compete against
trucks and barge. If the
commodity being shipped can move
via barge, it almost always does
it that way, because it's
cheaper. It's cheaper to float
products down a river than use a
locomotive truck to power them
across the country. However, he
says that the rivers have been
at the lowest in a long time,
and they have been shipping and
moving products from the west
coast on 40 train cars, tallow,
lumber, automotive parts, steel,
etc. He says the Longshoremen
are way overplaying their hands
on how much of an impact this
will have. And again, he says
the river levels have been lower
and unpredictable. Railroads
successfully made the case that
shippers need to have
optionality and should fold rail
into the transportation plan,
and they have been ready for
this. So it may not be as bad as
everyone is saying. The thing
that we're not talking about is
the exports. The exports could
make it a very cold winter in
Europe, because LNG is not
moving out. And if you recall,
ever since the war in Ukraine,
there's no gas from Russia. Nord
Stream magically blowed up, and
we have been exporting most of
the liquid natural gas to
Europe. So that's not going to
get out. Also, soybeans. This is
major stuff that we export 34
billion a year, corn, wheat,
cotton, oil, although oil will
be okay, the they can still the
reserves at the ports are pretty
empty, so they can fill up those
vats, from what I understand for
quite a while. So it may not be
as bad as everyone thinks it is
already, though it's impacting
the meat business exports.
Unknown: Griffiths, with today's
Ag Day minute, a strike at East
Coast and Gulf Coast ports will
have an immediate impact on the
movement of some ag products.
That's because nearly half of us
meat export volume is shipped
out through those ports.
Officials say the hit to the
pork sector will be harder than
the beef sector, with nearly a
third of us pork supplies being
exported. Officials with the US
Meat Export Federation say that
for every week the strike goes
on, a minimum
of $100 million will be lost in
revenue.
Adam Curry: There you go. So the
exports, that could be a real
problem. I think that's a bigger
problem, maybe even than the
imports.
John C Dvorak: Well, the
exports, especially on the East
Coast, are high, yeah, not so
much on the west coast. But I'll
say this, this is kind of
interesting. If the meats are
not being exported, they have to
re, uh, kind of push them into
the domestic market, which will
lower grocery prices. Yes. And
it's almost as if, because
everyone says, well, there's
going to be inflationary,
because everything's going to go
up in price, not food, no. So
food will come down in price. So
meat prices should come down,
because they're going to have to
flood the American market with
beef. Do you think and pork? Do
Adam Curry: you think that's why
the Biden administration is not
implementing tart Taft Hartley,
because they know it will
actually lower in place exactly
where I was headed with this.
Thank you. Yeah, I think you're
right. Because they're like, Oh,
we're not going to Taft Hartley
them, let them go. And then they
brought this. Well, you
John C Dvorak: have to have, the
problem is you have to have some
pretty sharp and I don't believe
this is true. You have to have
some pretty sharp strategists in
the Biden administration, only
have the DONILON brothers, those
guys from they're not dumb.
They're not dumb, no. So it's
possible that the whole thing is
strategized. And it was even
encouraged that the strike takes
place, because that's going to
divert the meat back into the
domestic market, which should it
should drop the price of cuts of
beef to next, and the hamburger
be back down to, you know, less
than $1 a pound.
Adam Curry: Bring back the
dollar menu meal,
John C Dvorak: and we'll get
back. Get back to cheap chicken.
Cheap chicken is on
Adam Curry: the horizon. Uh,
producer from Walmart. So the
rumors spreading at Walmart HQ
in Bentonville today, as there's
about 24 hours before shortages
start hitting Walmart due to the
hurricane and shipping strike,
the only thing about this rumor
is that it's only being spread
by Walmart corporate employees
in parentheses, shareholders,
has a very similar vibe to the
early pandemic. Days before
everything went nuts, a bunch of
the execs had covid and kept it
secret. Considering we are in
the early stages of the
Christmas shopping season and
we're in election season, the
strike seems a bit suspicious.
Unknown: Toilet paper, yeah. Oh,
yeah.
Adam Curry: Oh, have you seen
what's happening at Costco?
Everybody's paper, toilet paper,
water, paper towels. Everybody's
going, I'm
John C Dvorak: going to Costco
today, and I'll report back. I
personally, I doubt it. Well, I
Adam Curry: mean, I've seen the
videos of the long, long videos,
yeah, yeah, yeah, but I think
it'll be I'm in agreement with
our producers here, by the way,
they are boots on the ground.
What do I know? I'm not a
longshoreman. I'm a long
podcaster. Man, literally, it
may not be that bad. It may
actually be be somewhat
advantageous. We'll have to see,
because the West Coast is open,
and they've been prepared for
this, and the trains are rolling
lots
John C Dvorak: of times. I
should mention this is I'm kind
of boots on the ground in the
fact that I have a train track
that I can visually see from the
hill. I don't see that much. I
don't see an increase in
movement.
Adam Curry: Well, they're
probably squeezing the east
coast because you guys are a
holes like, let's not send it to
them.
John C Dvorak: It just looks
normal to me. So CMBS, and I'm
not saying, you know, I mean, I
understand in Southern
California that, because it's
been posted lines of trucks that
go miles and miles waiting to
get into Long Beach and the
other whatever ports are down
there that take cargo
containers. I'm looking at the
freeway. I can see the freeway
from here. I'm seeing normal
amount of trucks carrying a
container. I don't see anything.
It's not ridiculous. It looks
pretty standard to me. And you
know, been to the vegetable
store recently. There's nothing
different. Peruvian avocados are
still there.
Adam Curry: Gina Raimondo, the
Yeah, exactly. Our Commerce
Secretary,
John C Dvorak: the hatchet
faced, horrible rat woman. I.
Adam Curry: That's a good
description. The hatchet faced
horrible rat woman. Yes, our
commerce secretary was on CNBC,
and this is something that I've
noticed that's been happening a
lot in the mainstream media. And
I know it's related to the Hatch
Act. I think it's in this intro.
Welcome
Unknown: back. Everybody joining
us right now is Gina Raimondo.
She is the current Commerce
Secretary, but she's joining us
this morning in her personal
capacity as a surrogate for the
vice president Kamala Harris's
campaign and Commerce Secretary.
Thank you very much for being
here this morning. So
Adam Curry: I'm hearing this a
lot. You'll see Pete Buttigieg
like I'm just here in my
personal capacity as a
surrogate,
John C Dvorak: and that's bull
crap, because you're still
getting paid. Yes.
Adam Curry: But this is new. I
haven't seen this in the past,
where they're all, this is a
John C Dvorak: legal disclaimer.
Because of all the law fair
going on, they have to do this
so they can. No, I didn't know.
No, this is I was on my own. I
took the day off.
Adam Curry: I'm not really
working for the American people
are working for Kamala.
Unknown: I realize you're here
as a surrogate for the Vice
President's campaign, but
there's so much news of the day
that I feel we have to ask you
about wanted to wait stop.
John C Dvorak: Does this count
as part of her job if she's
answering questions, does the
ticket? Does the ticker start
up?
Adam Curry: Now, this is a good
question.
John C Dvorak: This is like a
lawyer. You know? They say,
Well, this is a lawyer. The
clock is on. Here we go about.
Wanted
Unknown: to start with this
potential strike at the ports
that's expected to take place
tonight, at midnight. Obviously,
this first time since the 1970s
that you would see strikes all
up and down, not only the East
Coast, but the Gulf ports. What
would this mean for commerce in
this country? What would this
mean for businesses if we go
into the strike? And what do you
know about it?
Good morning. So as you said,
I'm here in my personal
capacity. I would say, look,
it's not a secret that this
would be depending on how long
it lasts. Could be incredibly
disruptive to commerce, as you
well know, you know that so much
Adam Curry: commerce, by the
way, how much does he sound like
Kamala, it's the milieu She's
totally in. The camp she's
probably living at kamala's
house. Be
Unknown: incredibly disruptive
to commerce, as you well know,
you know that so much commerce
moves through the ports, and
especially, you know, if it goes
a few days, I think I'm sure
companies probably have their
plans set. But especially we're
in peak season getting ready for
the Christmas season. If a
strike were to drag on, I think
it could be really very, very
disruptive to commerce. So I do
hope that the parties, you know,
stay at the table and resolve it
as quickly as possible,
hopefully averting a strike, but
certainly, you know, keeping the
length of the strike as short as
possible the knock on effects
through the supply chain come
become quite extensive.
Adam Curry: Okay, so in for my
money, first of all, she works
for us. Okay, we don't pay her
to work for Kamala Harris. She
works for us. She should be on
CNBC in her capacity as Commerce
Secretary, and be answering
these questions, and not as
you'll hear in this next clip,
dodging around, because I don't
want to get in problem with
that. Work for us, lady, not for
Kamala. Where
Unknown: are the issues most
prominent? Where have you been
kind of focused and hearing on
what would happen if the strike
goes, let's say longer than a
week?
Again, I have not been very
focused on that. I would refer
you, why not? You to the White
House or the transportation
secretary. I
know the administration. The
President himself has said that
he is not going to
Adam Curry: push the two.
Becky's doing a good job here.
She's trying to get it out of
her sides together. He's
Unknown: urged them to talk. And
I just wonder, have you heard
from business leaders? You
probably are the person in the
administration who has business
leaders here more than just
about anybody else, in terms of
what this might mean for them.
Adam Curry: Come on. Answer the
question. I'm
Unknown: smiling because, again,
I want to stay in the bounds of
the Hatch Act here. So if you
wanted to have me back as
Commerce Secretary later in the
week. Maybe we could talk about
that. But as I said, I haven't
been particularly involved. So
where
Adam Curry: are the priorities
with this person? Her priority
should be America and the
American people, and she should
be on first as Commerce
Secretary. Then come back or
say, Okay, I'll be Commerce
Secretary now, and we don't talk
about Kamala, and then we'll do
the second anything but this,
that was, it was very disturbing
to me, and they all do it. Pete
Buttigieg, pathetic. Pete.
Buttigieg goes on Kara swishes
on podcast. I'm here in my
personal capacity again.
Douchebags, douchebags, and then
this, thank
Unknown: you, Commerce
Secretary. Why don't we talk
about why you're here today, and
again, you are here in your
personal capacity today to talk
about what you see in the
economy and as a surrogate of
the Harris campaign, what do you
see as the potential impact
after the election? On this
front,
I see huge you were just asking
me about disruption associated
with storms and ports, and I
think that's what you'll see
with President Trump. He is
erratic. His plans on tariffs, I
think will be very, very
negative for this economy. Not
only will they raise prices on
everything, he's talking about a
tariff on all imports. I mean,
that's insane, right? That will
raise prices of everything for
everyone. It will also hurt our
manufacturing industry. People
don't talk about this, but a lot
of things made in America rely
upon imports of Americans and
such. It's going to lose, you
know, it's going to cost
manufacturing jobs. Is going to
raise prices on everything. It
could kick us into a trade war
with certainly China, which we
don't need. You know, I say
every business leader I've ever
spoken with, I used to be a
governor. I used to run a
business myself. You want
predictability, right? You want
somebody in the Oval Office who
will engage with you, who will
listen to you, who will be
predictable, who will be smart
and thoughtful. That's what
you'll get in Kamala Harris,
Adam Curry: okay, so she said a
lot there about the tariffs and
how horrible it's going to be.
Trump was on I am the podfather,
after all, was on the Dave
Ramsey podcast, and he spoke
about tariffs and president,
William McKinley, this is a
wrap. I've not heard from him
yet. The word
Unknown: tariff, to me, is a
very beautiful word, because it
can, it can save our country,
truly. And yet, I think, because
of graft, because of a lot of
consulting payments and other
things that given by other
countries. We have so much
fighting with politicians on
using it. I saved our steel
industries by putting tariffs on
steel that China came in and
dumped. And you know what they
do? They dump and dump and dump.
Everybody goes out of business,
and they buy those businesses
very cheap, and then they raise
the prices to higher than they
ever were. That's one of the
many benefits that they have if
they want to do it. But by
putting tariffs on as an
example, in the furniture
business in North Carolina, it
was so vibrant, and they stole
our business, and they charge us
if you wanted to build a
furniture place, if you want to
sell your furniture in China,
they won't take it. But if you
want to build a plant in China
to make furniture in China,
using their labor, they open it.
We're doing the same thing, but
a lot of people, oh, well, we
don't want to have tariffs. The
country was at the richest point
in its history. In the 1890s it
was all tariffs. If you looked
at William McKinley as an
example. He was a big tariff
president. They had committees
that were put in charge of what
to do with the money we were
taking in so much money. And
McKinley would say, Why should
we let other people come in and
steal our factories and steal
our workers and steal our jobs,
and why shouldn't we benefit?
And he tariffed other countries,
and we made so much, and then
they went to the income tax
system later on, but they would
actually have, they had a blue
ribbon committee. Our country
was so rich, they didn't know
what to do with the money, and
this blue ribbon committee was
set up to determine how can we
spend all of this money? And
they took it in through tariffs.
But we can turn our country
around, make it strong, and then
guarded the tariffs. I
Adam Curry: had never heard of
McKinley and his and his
tariffs. And if you look at shot
him, they shot him for it. Oh,
really, well, that's a day
wrecker.
John C Dvorak: Well, he wasn't
the only tariff president. I
mean, Jefferson got himself into
trouble doing the same thing
much earlier on, but
Adam Curry: during McKinley,
everything that I've been able
to find it works. It there was,
I mean, we probably had actual
manufacturing
John C Dvorak: Yes, we had
manufacturing. We were making
stuff here. And the idea,
Trump's idea is, of course, the
tariff. The tariff isn't to
charge so that everybody has to
pay more for the stuff that's
being imported. It's to make the
American product more
competitive, yeah, by having the
other prices go up.
Adam Curry: But we need product.
We do need products, but we
don't
John C Dvorak: make much. I
mean, it's an idealistic
approach at this point. I think
it's too little too late to be
honest about it, in my opinion.
But that's just my opinion. Do
Adam Curry: you think, in your
opinion, do you think the
tariffs will just raise prices
across the board? That's. That's
what that's what they're saying.
The devil knows
John C Dvorak: they do. I mean,
he, he's done them before, and
it hasn't raised prices across
the board. What raised Christ
what raises prices across the
board is ridiculous, unfettered
spending, which caused the
inflation that we have today,
and it had nothing to do with
tariffs. Oh, there's
Adam Curry: that. There's that.
Are you sure he was shot?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he was
assassinated in 1901, huh?
Adam Curry: He had a lot with
the Panama Canal. Oh man, let me
see assassination. He did too
much, yeah, and put up. But he
had a cool top hat, though. He
had one of those, like, top
hats, and he had, he had a big
belly, so he had one of those
dusters down to his knees. Look,
Trump should try that. Look.
John C Dvorak: Try top hat, as
long as they start looking like
Taft. That was the fact Taft
Adam Curry: was no good. So
amidst all of this port and the
hurricane and, you know, and
I'm, I'm sitting here looking at
stuff prepping yesterday, and
I'm listening to the hams to the
repeater, because it was just
really interesting to hear how
they were handling that. And
then all of a sudden, break egg
break,
Unknown: the judge overseeing
Donald Trump's 2020, election
interference trial here in
Washington, DC, released 165
Adam Curry: pages on Wednesday,
which has a lot of pages, must
be something going on. Basically
Unknown: outlines the
prosecution's case against
Donald Trump and includes some
never seen before evidence that
they have against the former
president of the United States.
This then part of the Special
Counsel Jack Smith's case to try
John C Dvorak: to raise the
story I was always avoiding, but
you since you brought it up, I
had 200 evidence never seen
before. What evidence was never
seen before? This is a document.
It's coming to somebody bringing
you in the document. Was there
evidence in there? Like, you
know, a book or up some paper
fingerprints. I mean, what are
they talking about? They
Adam Curry: had fingerprints.
Now the evidence is at the end
of this report. This is why I'm
playing the report. And they
went on for hours. Jake Tapper
was live. Oh, I'm only at Page
seven. I'm already sweating.
I've got a boner. It's crazy.
This
Unknown: then pause of the
Special Counsel Jack Smith's
case to try to SCOTUS. Proof
this Supreme Court proof this
ruling, after the Supreme Court
ruled in July that Donald Trump
had immunity for acts that he
undertook whilst in office. The
Special Counsel is arguing that
the majority of these things do
not fall under that and instead
were carried out by somebody who
was actively seeking office and
not currently holding office.
Those include the fact that
Donald Trump was told that his
claim about dead people voting
in Georgia was false, but
continued to push that
narrative. This
Adam Curry: is nothing new. None
of this is new so far, but there
is something new. Connor real
evidence on the way,
Unknown: also includes an
anecdote about the former Vice
President Mike Pence trying to
convince Donald Trump that he
lost the election, and instead
trying to run in 2024 and Trump
allegedly said, I don't know
2024 is so far off on how the
Trump campaign is saying that
this is an unconstitutional
witch hunt. They say that it is
a tantamount to election
interference, the fact that it
is happening this close to the
election now about a month away.
But we're not really expecting
any movement on this case before
that election date. If anything,
it's unlikely to go ahead before
the end of the year. And of
course, the future of it depends
on who gets into the White House
after that election. If it's the
Democrats, then this case will
likely go ahead, although Donald
Trump does have some recourse
with the district cause and then
the Supreme Court. But if Donald
Trump wins and gets in, then his
department of justice is likely
to make this case go away
altogether.
Adam Curry: So the whole 160
some pages, the evidence is that
he was alone in his own private
dining room tweeting, and
therefore it was really was he
wasn't acting as the president.
This is unbelievable. This is
the saddest October surprise
I've ever seen, because that's
what it was. Well, even Hillary
Clinton, like, oh, what?
Something's gonna happen. We're
getting October surprise.
John C Dvorak: I don't believe
this is the October surprise.
This is too lame.
Adam Curry: These people are
lame. I think there'll be
John C Dvorak: something better
than that.
Unknown: Well, stock,
John C Dvorak: what's the date
today? The third yes,
Adam Curry: we're just getting
started. Well, I mean, look what
we already have. We have a
hurricane, we have a port
strike, we have Iran and Israel.
And what is the President doing?
He's sending messages to us.
Unknown: No agenda is the best
podcast in the universe, hands
down. My dad used to say, Joey,
those no agenda guys shoot from
the shoulder. Here's to four
more years and John and Adam. I
hope you never find that exit
strategy.
Adam Curry: There you go, the
guys,
John C Dvorak: well that you
know that's what he's got, at
least a good use of his time.
Adam Curry: The guy has nothing
better to do than send messages
to podcasters. What is he doing?
John C Dvorak: I think we should
talk about the debates,
Adam Curry: the. A singular
debate. Yeah, the
John C Dvorak: debate, the
debate, okay, and only because I
have to, right off the bat the
first thing I heard. I don't
have a lot of clips from the
debate. I have one because it
just backs up a point that I
want to make with PBS being
slanted. I know. Yeah, surprise.
Adam Curry: What
John C Dvorak: a surprise. I'm
shocked, shocked, very shocked,
I tell you, is the is, can we
Britt Hume said, the debate
moderators were terrible. They
were smug and arrogant, like he
says, yes, they are both
terrible. Why is Nora O'Donnell
still working at CBS? There's
been nothing but rumors for the
last year that they're going to
kick her out of there. And yet,
there she is. Can I? And then
you have Margaret Brennan, the
Face the Nation, woman who is
just who I I've mentioned this
before. I saw her when she was
being interviewed during covid,
when she was at home working,
and she's a Hillary Clinton
clone. She wears the same stupid
hair thing, and she looks like
Hillary without her makeup. It's
just, it's just like ridiculous
Adam Curry: while we're on
appearance, can I talk about
wardrobes for a moment? Take it
well, okay, just from a
television production
standpoint, they had Vance and
Waltz's ties matching the
moderator's dresses. So waltz
had a blue tie, which is not all
and it wasn't a very attractive
blue tie, and Nora was wearing
her blue dress, and then Vance
was wearing an atrocious reddish
pink tie, and that's what
Deborah was. What's her name?
The pink lady
John C Dvorak: that is. Now you
got, you said, Deborah, that
screwed me up. I can't remember
her name now, but that lady's
face, the she's the Face the
Nation woman, what?
Adam Curry: Who was, who made,
who made this up? Who said that
was a good idea? I thought it
was horrible. It was, it was all
colors. I know it's a big deal,
but yeah, ugly colors, and then
coordinating it across
John C Dvorak: the shoulder
pads, on, on, yeah,
Adam Curry: well, that's modern.
That's, that's supposedly the
look now, yeah, it is, yeah,
yeah. They
John C Dvorak: kind of looks,
kind of looks terrible. Yeah.
Adam Curry: It looks very 80s, I
agree. So anyway, on onward to
the content, now that we've
dealt with the and, and the
whole open is superficial part
of it, well, and the whole
opening had a very Jeopardy feel
to it. You know, with the
camera, move up and they're
standing behind those desks. I
was, I was hearing the tune,
doo. Doo, doo. I was hearing the
tune in my head. Whole thing was
like, I mean, I found it rather
tedious and boring. You I
couldn't
John C Dvorak: watch it.
Adam Curry: Well, how'd you get
clips? Then
John C Dvorak: I went back and
forth. Oh, okay, all right. And
I, most of my clips are analysis
clips. I don't really have that.
I
Adam Curry: have a couple clips
from from it themselves, but we
can do your analysis. I
John C Dvorak: have one clip
from it that I want to bring in
after I do that well, as I do
the PBS analysis, okay? And then
I have a clip that needs to be
played. There's the show. PBS
did a terrible job. Listen to
this. Here's the I got three
clips from PBS debate, PBS
analysis, one
Unknown: little more than a
month to go, the Republican and
Democratic presidential
campaigns are dialing in on key
swing states, and
for the first and only time,
vice presidential candidate,
Senator JD Vance and Governor
Tim Walz squared off on the
debate stage. Lisa Desjardins
has this report. Lisa
Adam Curry: Desjardins with your
big nose in Georgia today,
Unknown: Vice President Kamala
Harris arrived to survey the
aftermath of Hurricane. I'm
here today to thank all of those
who are working. What
Adam Curry: does this do with
the debate?
John C Dvorak: That's what I'm
asking myself. This is a
straight up clip right from the
show
Unknown: to get folks the
support and the relief that they
so desperately need and so
rightly deserve, and
particularly devastating in
terms of the loss of life that
this community has experienced,
the loss of normalcy and the
loss of critical resources.
Adam Curry: Okay, that had
nothing to do with the debate.
So
John C Dvorak: they throw it to
Lisa Desjardins, as you put it,
and she talks about Camelot.
What does that get to do with
anything they started? This is a
debate a series of okay, well,
let's throw a little promotion
in there for Kamala. Let's go to
part two. Meanwhile, fresh
Unknown: off last night's CBS
vice presidential debate,
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
kicked off a Pennsylvania bus
tour. What
Adam Curry: are they avoiding?
The entire debate altogether.
They're just promoting them.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, first we
had Kamala promotion. Now we
have a bus tour from Tim This is
great. Tim timmy's bus
Adam Curry: tour to right now
Unknown: as vice president
Kamala Harris has only one.
Quiet the people, the people
and Donald Trump's party mate,
Ohio, Senator JD Vance rallied
crowds in Michigan. We
already ran this experiment
once. Donald Trump's economic
policies worked for American
families. They worked for
American consumers.
Governor. Senator, thank you for
joining us in the vice
presidential debate last night,
Vance came out focused on
Harris. Governor
waltz, you blamed Donald Trump,
who has been the vice president
for the last three and a half
years? And the answer is, your
running mate, not mine. Well,
Governor Walz had a shakier
start. He was asked about the
Middle East and whether Israel
should preemptively strike at
Iran,
Iran or I, Israel's ability to
be able to defend itself is
absolutely fundamental. Getting
its hostages back fundamental
and ending the humanitarian
crisis in Gaza
at the top of Senator Vance's
agenda, immigration moderators
asked him about former President
Trump's vow to carry out mass
deportations. I
think the first thing that we do
is we start with the criminal
migrants. About a million of
those people have committed some
form of crime in addition to
crossing the border illegally.
The contrast was clear, but the
tone civil walls blamed Trump
for blocking a relatively
conservative border bill and
criticized for inflammatory
false statements about Haitian
migrants in Springfield, Ohio,
wow.
John C Dvorak: Now what? What
you're telling me that that
stupid bill that was killed and
it by the that really wouldn't
just conservative. Well, they're
allowed, like, a million people
in a month without any problem
whatsoever. This is, this is so
slanted, but it gets worse with
clip three.
Unknown: I believe Senator Vance
wants to solve this, but by
standing with Donald Trump and
not working together to find a
solution, it becomes a talking
point, and when it becomes a
talking point like this, we
dehumanize and villainize other
human beings. The
people that I'm most worried
about in Springfield, Ohio are
the American citizens who have
had their lives destroyed by
Kamala Harris's open border.
The moderators stepped in with
one of just two fact checks in
the debate, sparking a fiery
exchange.
And just to clarify for our
viewers, Springfield, Ohio, does
have a large number of Haitian
migrants who have legal status,
temporary protected.
Thank you, Senator.
We have so much to get
a turn out of the economy.
Margaret, the
rules were that you got a fact
check. Another
substantive contrast came over
abortion.
Adam Curry: The report should
have said, even though the rules
were that the moderators would
not fact check. They fact
checked anyway, and then
wouldn't let him respond and
turn the mics off.
John C Dvorak: Plus she cuts it
or she lets, she lets Vance kind
of bitch and moan there a little
bit. And then she goes on to the
next topic about abortion. This
is Lisa Desjardins great
objective, by the way, PBS has
gone so left ever I mean, we say
it all the time, but ever since
GWEN IFILL died, yeah, this,
this, this news operation has is
no good either. No good.
Adam Curry: I repent often how
we, how we made fun of Gwen, and
we really miss her. Now she was,
she was keeping that thing
together. So she
John C Dvorak: goes off and
talks about something else. I
had to cut it off there, because
you went on and on and on, just
kind of going nowhere. So I had
to back up. And so I got the
debate fact check fiasco clip.
And this is what really
happened. Thank you, Governor,
and I'm sorry this. This is what
really happened when, when Vance
was confronted by Margaret
Brennan and Nora. And it was
really Nora who brought in the
fact check, and then Margaret
Brennan cut it off and said we
got to move on when he tried to
correct her bad fact check.
Unknown: Thank you, Governor.
And just to clarify for our
viewers, Springfield, Ohio does
have a large number of Haitian
migrants who have legal status,
temporary protected.
But thank you, Senator. We
have so much to get to. I
think it's important to turn out
of the economy. Margaret, the
rules were that you got a fact
check. And since you're fact
checking me, I think it's
important to say what's actually
going on. So there's an
application called the CBP one
app where you can go on as an
illegal migrant, apply for
asylum or apply for parole and
be granted legal status at the
wave of a Kamala Harris open
border wand that is not a person
coming in, applying for a green
card and waiting for 10 years.
Thank you, Senator, rotation of
illegal immigration. Margaret,
thank you, Senator, for
describing the legal
process since 1990
Thank you, gentlemen,
we want to have has not been on
Adam Curry: the books. There it
is.
Unknown: Gentlemen, the audience
can't hear you because your mics
are cut. We have so much we want
to get to thank. You for
explaining the legal process. We
have microphone power. Not
John C Dvorak: only that, but
she was sneering. Margaret
Brennan, we had the big smile on
her face after somebody in the
control room cut the mic and
said, No, we're not talking
about this, and we're going to
go on down the important things.
This was actually a debate that
could have broken out. It would
have been an actual debate. It
would have been interesting. But
no, they had to cut the mic
because they wanted to be in
complete control. So they lied
about the fact checking this
CBS. CBS lied about the fact
checking. CBS lied about the
open mics. This was terrible.
Which brings me to my next
series of debate clips, which is
only a couple, is only a couple.
These are the analysis clips I
picked off from NTD, because
they brought some guy in. Now I
have to find them.
Adam Curry: Debate analysis
unique NTD, just that might be
it Joining
Unknown: us now for his analysis
of the first and final vice
presidential debate at this
election is former Virginia
Governor Jim Gilmore. He's also
the former US ambassador to the
organization for senior Security
and Cooperation in Europe, Think
Tank. Governor, welcome. Thank
you so much for joining us.
Thanks for the chance to be on
NTD, no,
I love it now for all the verbal
attacks on the campus,
Adam Curry: my commercial rates
just went up. Thanks for giving
me this opportunity. What
John C Dvorak: was funny about
it when he said, thanks for
letting give me the opportunity
to be on NTD, he made a point,
Adam Curry: if NTD called me
today for a podcasting story,
I'd like No, no, I got no time
for you.
Unknown: Thanks for the chance
to be on NTD. Now
for all the verbal attacks was
seen on the campaign trail,
Senator JD Vance and Governor
Tim Walz had a cordial debate,
harkening back to what politics
used to be. What's your
assessment of the tone and
substance of the debate? We
Adam Curry: used to have actual
debates? Well,
Unknown: first of all, the tone
was surprisingly more cordial
than we've seen in other times,
but, but frankly, I have a
little different take on it. It
was nice and cordial and
friendly until the last
question. The last question was
clearly a setup. That was the
question that basically demanded
advance, contradict his ticket
leader, President Trump, and put
him on the spot on that
Adam Curry: he had. What
happened there? What just jumped
in the audio that was odd. I
John C Dvorak: did just the way
it came out.
Unknown: That was the question
that basically demanded advance,
contradict his ticket leader,
President Trump, ticket leader,
and put him on the spot on that
he handled it in a death way.
But then you saw walls actually
attack him in a vigorous and
violent sort of way, told him
that he just answer was a damn
answer, and that was clearly
different from all the preceding
discussions that had been had up
to the debate at that point. It
seems to me, it's perfectly
clear that that was a setup that
he had been briefed on that he
said, Now there, you know, we're
going to ask him this. This is
the way you're going to answer.
It seems to me that the time has
come to get away from this, this
business of just picking liberal
teleprompter readers as the as
the moderators. This was a
terrible debate from the point
of view of the moderators. So
you know, I'm not as warm and
friendly about this debate as
maybe some people are, if
Adam Curry: I if I can just
interject, because this is
really bugging me now, these are
not debates. This is bullcrap
that we, the American people,
have allowed the media to
determine debates. The whole
debate would be, go stand
together and then debate and you
can and it would be great if you
could yell and get in people's
faces, and that's a debate. None
of this is a debate.
John C Dvorak: In fact, I think
clip two addresses this a little
bit, and I have some thoughts on
it too.
Unknown: There's been more focus
on this vice presidential debate
than previous ones due to a wide
range of factors when it comes
to moving the needle among
voters. Do you think last
night's debate will do that?
Well, I think that it was
intended to try to do that. I
think, once again, the the CBS
framed the questions in such a
way as to try to put Vance in a
bad position. They didn't talk
about inflation. They instead
talked about giving away
taxpayers money to homeowners,
even though it was inflation
that causes the homeowners
problems, paid leave in just all
kinds of ways that they were
shaping this debate. So I think
that the goal was to try to move
the needle. And frankly, in my
view, the modern
telecommunications age does re
amplify some of this. So I'm a
big fan of the debates, but none
of this. I think it's time to
move away from these, these,
these same network people, and
move back into something more
like the Presidential Commission
or something of that order.
This, this business is just
going in and being beat up by
left wing commentators. Has got
to stop. Up, amen.
John C Dvorak: And I was
thinking about this comment he
made, it's got to stop. When did
it begin? It began with Trump,
because Trump, when, when Trump
did an independent debate
situation, I think it was with
CNN or one of these groups, the
ratings went through the roof,
yeah, when Trump started. And so
all these networks said, Why are
we getting in on this action?
Because the numbers went through
the roof because the old debate,
Nixon Kennedy debates and
everything before that. They
were, you know, they were, they
were debates, all right, but
they weren't like Blockbuster
tent pole pro things for the for
these networks, entertainment,
entertainment that Trump, Trump
specifically provided. And I
mean, it probably began with the
primaries in 2016 when Trump was
calling, you know, little la
Rubio and did Jeb Bush was a
loser and all the stuff low
energy, low energy, low energy
loser. It grabbed the public's
attention. They started watching
stuff that they would never
watch in a million years. And
you watch your local mayoral
debates. Nobody watches these
things because they're boring.
Trump made them interesting and
compelling. And people oh, let's
go see what he's going to do
this time they're eating the
dogs. I mean, he always had
something and so. But this guy's
right. This is bold crap. These
networks are this is no good.
These these debates are useless
crap. Well,
Adam Curry: remember, it was the
Women's League of voters who
organized these previously, and
they said, We're giving up. We
don't want to participate in
this anymore the way the media
wants to run it. They gave it.
They gave it back. Said, No,
yeah, because
John C Dvorak: the media was
stepping all over the basics.
The media is a bunch of greedy
bastards, and they just saw this
as a money maker, a money grab
to put Trump on and beat him up,
or try to get him to say
something silly, like, you know,
or something funny, like, funny,
usually, yeah, they're eating
the dogs.
Adam Curry: The best, it is the
best. It is the best.
John C Dvorak: So it was, so it
was a, I don't know, I thought
the thing was a joke, and
Brandon and O'Donnell suck, and
they should be out of this.
Adam Curry: The whole concept
sucks. It's not a debate. It's
just, it's just not a debate.
Well, when the
John C Dvorak: debate almost
broke out, they cut the mic. Was
like, there's there it is, right
there, there's your debate.
Can't have that.
Adam Curry: There was a little
bit of a debate where Walt's
actually admitted to wanting to
censor people for hate speech,
and that kind of slipped
through. And then a massive fact
check, which we've done on this
show, which they just let go,
Unknown: but you guys attack us
for not believing in democracy.
The most sacred right under the
United States democracy is the
First Amendment. You yourself
have said there's no First
Amendment right to
misinformation. Kamala Harris
wants to threaten government. It
Adam Curry: kind of got buried,
but I'm talking about hate
speech, no, and this could have
been a lively debate.
Unknown: Kamala Harris wants to
threaten government and big tech
to silence people from speaking
their minds. That is a threat to
democracy that will long outlive
this present political moment, I
would like Democrats and
Republicans to both reject
censorship. Let's persuade one
another. Let's argue about
ideas, and then let's come
together. Afterwards. You can't
yell
fire in a crowded theater. Fact
Check fast. That's the test.
That's the Supreme Court test.
Tim,
fire in a crowded theater. You
guys wanted to kick people off
of Facebook for saying that
toddlers fire in a crowded
theater that is criticizing the
policies of the government.
Adam Curry: So we actually
discussed this not too long ago.
Oh, yeah, maybe, maybe 300
episodes, or maybe 200 episodes
ago. It was not a Supreme Court
decision. It wasn't the Supreme
Court stance on what you can and
can't do. It was in an opinion,
in a dissent, and actually a
dictum, non binding statement
from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr,
who said, Well, you can't do
that. Then they actually got
into discussing it. And you if
you think there's a fire in a
crowded theater, you can yell
fire. You can there is still
free speech. There is no Supreme
Court decision on yelling fire
in a crowded theater or any
other venue for that matter.
John C Dvorak: I I don't
understand how they get away
with it, and I want to I had one
clip here from Bill Gates, no.
And what I'm going to play this
clip for is this idea that you
can't do this, you can't do
that, or should be rules against
it. You're seeing it on Bill
Maher's show with the various
guests. You're hearing it left
and right, especially from the
Democrats about, you know you
should there should be
restrictions on front basically
saying there should be
restrictions on free speech,
which is. A joke, if you think
about it, but they keep pushing
it to the point where you hear
stuff like this from guys that
you think are smart, like Bill
Gates.
Unknown: We should have free
speech, but if you're inciting
violence, if you're causing
people not to take vaccines, you
know, where are those boundaries
that even the US should? You
know, have rules. And then if
you have rules, you know, what
is it? Is there some AI that
encodes those rules because you
have billions of activity and
you know, if you catch it a day
later, the harm is, is done.
Adam Curry: Oh, it's time for
another Pie in the Face bill.
You gotta be careful with this.
This nonce, I
John C Dvorak: found that to be
the most abhorrent thing he's
ever said. I haven't watched
Adam Curry: his show yet. He has
a Netflix series now, but I'm
gonna have to, because I think
this comes from that Netflix
series. Well, it could be I'm
going to have to watch it now,
because there may be some good
clips something else that popped
up, which is also not properly
fact checked, but I don't have
the clip, but waltz was talking
about Finland. Finland is so
great. Finland. Nothing. They
got guns. Nothing ever happens
in Finland. Finland's Fantastic.
Well, luckily we have wander
Helm, sir, wander Helm, who has
come back to listening to the
show after a multi year absence.
And he
John C Dvorak: said, Hey,
Finland came up and stopped
listening in the first place. He
didn't
Adam Curry: like our stance on
Russia and Ukraine. Yeah, and,
you know, because Russia is
their neighbor, because
John C Dvorak: we were
peaceniks, is that what he
thinks we you know, don't you'd
rather have war going on between
these two. Hey,
Adam Curry: I'm happy he came
back. He's giving us another
shot. I'm happy it always
happens. You
John C Dvorak: always give us
free phones. If you recall, I
Adam Curry: know that when he
worked at Nokia. Then he was
really awesome. It gave us lots
of free gear. It was fantastic.
Well, we also promoted it. We
talked about the stuff we got,
and we the good and the bad. He
says, Well, first of all, the
rhetoric about Finland, he says,
a little skewed. We have 5.6
million people versus and he
looks it up, 333 point 3
million. He says that is
actually the number that came
rolling out of Google magic
number alert. He says Finland
just suffered its first school
shooting in over a decade
earlier this year. Hmm, that
wasn't mentioned in the debate.
So yes, of course, they have
guns, but the number of murders
per capita is much higher than
the average European country,
mainly, or usually, family
members killing each other, or
drunk friends who are killing
each other
John C Dvorak: so well they
drink too much in Finland
Adam Curry: by Luke nice having
you.
John C Dvorak: Well, he has to
admit this everybody, I've been
there, and one of the things
they tell you, they warn you
about the fact that there's a
bunch. It's like, worse than
Poland was when they first
invented vodka. Worse than the
Russians in their vibe. They
drink too much.
Adam Curry: You got to do
something in those long, cold
winters. And what else, you
John C Dvorak: drink too much
you get mad. It's because some
people, you know, they're
they're angry drunk people,
angry drunks, angry, angry
drunks. And we all know, we've
all run into them. There's a
happy drunks, there's there's
drunks that want to fall asleep
all the time. And then there's
the angry, mean spirited drunk.
They get a little alcohol in
them, and they're all and, boom,
you shoot somebody,
Adam Curry: yes, and boom, you
shoot somebody Exactly. So while
we're on the topic, Walt, of
course, had the flub of the
evening, which everybody laughed
and made memes about the best
Unknown: one. So I've become
friends with school shooters.
I've seen it look the NRA. I was
the NRA guy for a long time. I
become friends
Adam Curry: with school
shooters. All right, I did have
another funny clip from CNN this
morning with Casey hunt. Casey,
Casey and she had senior Trump
advisor, Jason Miller, on CNN is
really trying to shake it up.
He's going up
Unknown: against a moron, a
total moron. How she picked him
is unbelievable, and I think
it's a big factor. There's
something wrong with that guy.
He's sick. He went into the
Michigan game the other day, got
booed out. I went into the
Alabama game, the 120,000 people
went crazy.
So Jason is Tim Walz a moron?
Okay,
John C Dvorak: I have to at
least give a little background
on walls going to the Michigan
game, okay? Walls went to the
Michigan game and he was
representing for for the other
team, yeah, for the wrong team,
for the Minnesota team, yes, and
University of Minnesota gophers,
yeah? So they booed him. Of
course they did Yes, yes. And of
course he flipped somebody off,
which was probably bad for him,
yeah. And meanwhile, Trump's
going into a game where he's
neutral, so they both sides
cheered him. I mean, this is
specious, just to mention it, I
just like that Casey.
Adam Curry: Hunt says this, the
Unknown: 120,000 people went
crazy. So
Jason, is Tim Walz a moron?
Adam Curry: I mean, that's a
great question. I think I found
the great question that is
great.
John C Dvorak: That's a good
way. That's a good question. Two
Unknown: things can be true at
the same time. Here again, the
Tim Walz that we see on the
campaign trail as he's bouncing
around and dancing and pointing
to Kamala Harris and looking
kind of goofy is not the Tim
walls that shows up in debates.
In case, I will tell you, I've
watched more debate footage of
Tim Walz that anyone should ever
be forced to do. But what he's
going to have an issue is, how
does he defend his record? How
does he defend Kamala Harris's
record? And be honest, he has to
defend Joe Biden's record as
well.
Adam Curry: So then he actually
said something quite
intelligent, which we've been
saying here for the past 30
minutes. Well,
Unknown: it's not a debate.
Let's just be candid. None of
these are sorry, this is Doug
Jones debates in the traditional
sense of the work. They're just
a series of answers, and you're
going to answer what you want to
do. You know, look, I think Tim
walls needs to be Tim walls talk
about what they're going to do
for America and the hope and the
joy that Tim Walz brings. I talk
about my my old football team
that walked out on that stage at
the DNC. That was a moment,
folks, I got to tell you, folks,
that moment spoke to a lot of
people across this country.
Yeah, okay.
Adam Curry: Are we done with the
debates? Because I have a very
important series of clips here
that we need to discuss because
all of the important
John C Dvorak: series, I think
there's one more clip. It's
probably ancillary.
Adam Curry: Well, is it
important?
John C Dvorak: I have no idea
what's is the just
Adam Curry: throwing stuff out
there. No,
John C Dvorak: I have clips. I
don't put these clips on this
list for no good reason. All
right,
Adam Curry: well, you said it's
ancillary. Here we go. Debate
wrap. NTD, yeah,
Unknown: I guess that must be
it. Senator. JD, Vance and
Governor Tim Walz each praising
their own debate performance as
they hit the campaign trail
today, Vance defends his answer
to a question on the 2020
election, and walls touts a
tougher stance on China
entities. Iris Chow has more
from Martin, Michigan where
Vance is holding a campaign
event, holding two
campaign events in the key
battleground state of Michigan
today, Senator J D, Vance
praised his own debate
performance last night, saying
that it went well and that he
felt bad for governor. Tim Walz,
I thought it went pretty well.
I got to be honest, I feel a
little bad for Governor Walz,
and the reason I feel bad for
him is because he has to defend
the indefensible. But
just hours after the debate, the
Harris campaign launched a new
ad highlighting Vance's answer
to whether Trump lost the 2020
election. Did
he lose the 2020 election? Tim,
I'm focused on the future. That
is a damning non answer.
Vance was again asked about it
today, where he said he's
focused on the upcoming
election, and we'll keep talking
about election integrity.
Why didn't you answer the
question last night during the
debate about who won the 2020,
presidential election? We're
going to talk about election
integrity, because I believe
that every vote ought to count,
but only the legally cast votes.
Meanwhile, Governor Tim Walz
today was campaigning in
Pennsylvania. Anybody
watched the debate last night?
Not bad for a football coach. We
had a simple but spirited
debate,
and after seeing last night that
he misspoke about having shot
during the 1989 Tiananmen Square
protests, Walz told reporters
today, yeah,
look, I
have my dates wrong. I was in
Hong Kong. I will tell you this,
Xi Jinping is not someone you
should look up to. Xi Jinping is
not someone who you should say
does a good job on things as
Donald Trump has said about
covid, the
Adam Curry: biggest show on
earth, ladies and gentlemen,
we're
John C Dvorak: I grab one last
comment. I'm gonna ask you this.
Why did was Vance chosen?
Adam Curry: Why was he chosen?
Who? Who?
John C Dvorak: Who pushed Vance?
Why did Trump choose Vance?
Because I didn't know this
completely. I think I kind of
knew it. We may have talked
about it, but it turned out that
we had, I
Adam Curry: thought it was Peter
Thiel and the the PayPal Mafia,
who pushed who pushed
John C Dvorak: him? No, it was
Donald Trump Jr.
Adam Curry: Oh, you're right.
I'm sorry, you're right. He he
was. You're absolutely right.
But Donald Trump Jr is also
hanging out with the PayPal
Mafia for their Yes,
John C Dvorak: where Donald
Trump Jr is good friends with
Vance that became good friends.
Bearded buddies. No bearded
buddies. There's your show
bearded buddies. And so there's
a show title. And he he was on
Hannity after the fact that, he
started explaining how this
worked, because he says, Now, I
don't think so. I don't know
about that guy. You know, he
hated me when he first started
off, and, you know, he's
different now. And he pushed and
pushed and pushed and pushed his
dad to pick Vance and he So
Donald Trump Jr's not the big
dummy everybody thinks he is.
He's a has some
Adam Curry: influence. He has
influence. It was worth
John C Dvorak: noting that
Donald Trump Jr is not a slouch,
no,
Adam Curry: but he's. Running a
shit coin. So we'll have to see
how that
John C Dvorak: goes. Slouch
Well, it's
Adam Curry: bad form. Very bad
form. All of these people,
probably not Trump, but you
never know. Must be shaken in
their boots, because, as was
teased by lawyer of the show,
our constitutional lawyer, Rob
who did not go to school with
him, but knows him very well.
Tony Busby. Tony Busby, the
lawyer from Houston, Yep, yeah,
I've
John C Dvorak: got I'm this is
good, yeah, I'm
Adam Curry: glad you did this.
Here's the background, or ABC
new and
Unknown: disturbing accusations
against Sean Diddy Combs, a
Texas attorney tonight, says he
now represents 120 alleged
victims, men and women whose
allegations span more than 30
years. The accounts of the
alleged victims have not been
fully vetted, but their
accusations involve the kind of
drug fueled alleged sexual
assault described in a dozen
civil lawsuits and the criminal
case against combs. Combs has
pleaded not guilty to federal
charges his attorney tonight
saying combs emphatically denies
any claim that he sexually
abused anyone.
Adam Curry: All right, so that's
a very, very, you're good
looking. David Muir, but that
was a very short report about
what actually went down Tony
Busby, must be said, is very
successful at what he does.
Apparently, his house is
unbelievable. So he's, I'm just
reporting. He is also good
friends with Donald Trump, which
makes it a little bit more
interesting. I took a couple
clips from his press conference,
and we start with with his his
opening why he this is about,
the scope of this lawsuit and
the ages and just how big this
is, and what's really going on
with and it's not one, it's 120
lawsuits.
Unknown: As I said, our law
firms have been retained by 120
individuals at this point to
pursue cases in civil court
against Sean Diddy Combs. You
should know, in this group, it
is evenly divided between males
and females. There are 60 males
and 60 females who have joined
us to pursue these claims as
plaintiffs. In this group, 62%
identifies African American. 30%
are white, the remainder
Hispanic or Asian. The victims
are from more than 25 states.
Majority are from California,
New York, Georgia and Florida.
And I want to focus on the ages
of these victims. We talk about
the ages of the victims when the
conduct occurred, it's shocking.
Our youngest victim at the time
of the occurrence is was nine
years old. We have an individual
who was 14 years old. We have
one who is 1525. Of the 120
individuals who are plaintiffs
in these cases were minors at
the time of the acts complained
of. Now,
Adam Curry: I've already seen a
couple of trolls posting, no,
no, it is not what you think.
Now,
Unknown: there's been a lot of
reports that we're filing a
class action. This is not a
class action. Class actions when
one or two people file a case on
behalf of a group of people,
that's not this. These cases
will be individual cases. Each
case will live and die on its
own merit. These cases will be
filed individually, one
plaintiff against whoever the
defendants were involved in the
case. So
Adam Curry: it's not a class
action. This guy's going all in.
He's doing each individual case
after carefully vetting every
single one of them. And the time
frame is vast. The
Unknown: time frame of the acts
complained of is very wide. The
conduct at issue spans from the
years 1991 all the way to this
year 2024 if you wonder why
there are so many alleged
victims, that's your answer.
We're talking about more than 25
years of this type of conduct
now, although most of the
victims who have stepped forward
were victimized after 2015 this
has been going on for a very
long time.
Adam Curry: This is so good.
This is, I mean, now we get into
it. And he later on, yes,
John C Dvorak: just to ask you
this, you don't think this is
the October surprise.
Adam Curry: It depends, because
he doesn't. The last clip that I
have in a moment is about who
and his relationship to Trump.
Makes me think that this
definitely could be for certain.
It is going to make a lot of
people worried when you hear
these, these final two clips,
and he goes into some graphic
detail, which I did not clip,
about what happened to some of
some of these predominantly the
children. You can just It's
everything you could imagine.
But here is the clip about what
Acts and where they took place.
The
Unknown: acts complained of in
these cases that we're going to
file occurred prior. Primarily
in New York, either Manhattan or
the Hamptons, or occurred in
California, primarily in Los
Angeles, or in Florida,
primarily in Miami. Most of
these events and incidents
occurred at parties, typically
after parties, our album release
parties, New Year's Eve parties,
Fourth of July parties,
something they called a puppy
party, all white party, although
several of these events occurred
at auditions, many times,
especially young people, people
wanting to break into the
industry were coerced into this
type of conduct in the promise
of being made a star, or in the
promise of having Sean Combs
listen to their tape, or even
let them read for Sean Combs.
You should know that some of
this behavior occurred at well
known venues in New York City.
Some of this behavior occurred
at private residences the people
that we all know. Some of this
behavior occurred at hotels that
we're all familiar with. You
should know that more than 55%
of the victims filed reports.
Reported this conduct to either
the authorities, that is the
police, or to hospitals we're in
the process of collecting with
our team assistance, medical
records, reports that were made
to the authorities. And I've
already said that some of the
individuals in this group did,
in fact, talk to the FBI, so
Adam Curry: interesting that we
have some trolls saying, Oh no,
this is to take down Trump. But
I think you're wrong. This guy
is friends with Trump. This is
not to take down Trump being
John C Dvorak: just the opposite
control. Think this way. Do they
ever listen to this show?
Adam Curry: No, I don't know
what they're doing. They're on
drugs. Speaking of drugs, some
of the drugs that took place
that were used here. So this is
the final clip, and we will be
hearing a lot more from Tony
Busby, I'm sure. Good name, by
the way, Tony Busby in the
morning, everybody is he 100
That's a good name, Tony Busby.
It's the buzz a 95 five Busby.
Busby in the morning. He's not
naming names, but he will soon.
And, yeah,
John C Dvorak: this is the part
that gets to me. Okay, well,
Adam Curry: the reason why is he
says he's vetting. They're
vetting every single they can't
just come out and make
allegations without I think this
is
John C Dvorak: a still, because
no one's ever done that in their
life. Okay, well, listen
Adam Curry: to the last clip,
and then, then, then we'll I'm
happy to hear your opinion.
Unknown: Many of you came here
thinking or hoping, or perhaps,
uh, believing, that I may start
naming names, that day will
come, but it won't be today. The
day will come when we will name
names other than Sean Combs. And
there's a lot of names. It's a
long list already, and of
course, I already know who some
of these individuals are, but
because the nature of this case,
we're going to make damn sure,
damn sure that we're right
before we do that, but the names
that we're going to name
assuming that our investigators
confirm and corroborate what
we've been told her names that
will shock you. These are
individual cases. There are
indeed other perpetrators
involved. They will be revealed
when that particular individual
case is ready to be filed. They
already know who they are. And
I'm talking here about not just
the cowardly, but complicit
bystanders. That is those people
that we know watched this
behavior occur and did nothing.
I'm talking about the people
that participated, encouraged,
egged it on. They know who they
are. I call them the
facilitators of foul play,
willing participants in vile
conduct. As we identify them,
each will be part of this case
as defendants. These defendants
will not only include
individuals, but would also
include corporate entities who
ultimately profited off of this
culture and behavior. I'm
looking at banks, pharmaceutical
companies, hotels. We know that
many of these individuals were
paid cash. We know that that
many of these individuals
involved whether they were the
ones being assaulted and abused
or they're witnessing other
people being assaulted and
abused and then paid and
threatened and told to leave.
Typically pay 10 grand in cash
and told to leave.
Adam Curry: We'll see how fast
he can get some out. But the
whole press conference and he
had three different
representatives from from abuse
organizations. And his whole
pitch was, if you were involved,
come forward now. Come forward
now, because we know who you
are. And he was talking about
tranq being slipped into into
drinks and people waking up the
next day, you know, with
John C Dvorak: Well, this is
the, the one. Case that Gloria.
Gloria already is doing some
woman who was tranqed and then
bound up and then raped by,
supposedly, this alleged,
allegedly, yes, allegedly by
Diddy and one of his, I guess,
one of his bodyguards, or some
other guy, yeah, and so she's
suing, and this took place in my
Degas some time ago. But all
reds, no slouch, no. And so this
is, this is not going to turn
out well, but this is Rick has
so much of the earmarks of the
Epstein material. Now, there is
supposedly another thing,
another aspect of this. This
guy, by the way, Busby was on
Jesse Walters show waters. Oh,
he was on waters. He was on him
waters, for some reason,
emphasize the fact that record
companies are also on this
Adam Curry: Clive Davis. Oh,
yeah, definitely. Oh, which
John C Dvorak: is not mentioned
those clips you have allegedly,
definitely, allegedly, he
Adam Curry: didn't, well, he
didn't mention Clive Davis, but
Clive Davis was the mentor. And
if you've watched the Clive
Davis documentary on Netflix,
you know, after his third third
wife, hello, I said, hello,
hello. After his third wife. She
did after his third wife, he's
like, I think I'm gay. I think I
like hanging out with the gay
guys, and he was hanging out
with all the hip hop. This is
not the gay stuff in hip hop,
particularly around Diddy and
Bad Boy Records, is it's been
well known. It's like, and
everyone's like, okay, whatever
the gay. But we didn't know
about all this, or at least I
didn't, but it was, nobody did.
Well, there's, there's been
some.
John C Dvorak: I mean, if you're
in the business, or you're What
did these parties, or whatever
the case, yeah, you knew them.
But nobody in the public, you
know the our level of public?
Well,
Adam Curry: there was a YouTube
show, and it was a real hip hop
show, and someone sent it to me.
This is a while back. I have to
go and dig it out. And the the
hip hopper, who was, who also
has their own YouTube they all
got their own YouTube channels.
She was talking about what went
on these Diddy parties and,
like, ah, then the and the mix
of drugs that they were using
and and the baby, baby oil, and
all this stuff. I mean this, but
that's, I mean, you can go back
to Shirley Temple and then just
look at any of those old Shirley
Temple movies. It is disgusting.
The sexualization of children in
the movies in Hollywood was
rampant.
John C Dvorak: It's been going
is it any different today? No,
Adam Curry: and talk to the kid
from the Goonies kid. What's his
name? Who always, yeah, who
always did the Michael Jackson
impersonation? He's always
talking about it, yeah? He's a
John C Dvorak: number of child
actors that are Corey Feldman.
Corey Feldman, Feldman, right?
Yeah.
Adam Curry: And he implicates
Charlie Sheen. There's all kinds
of stuff that's been going on,
but when it gets to miners, and
I'm pretty sure that a lot, and
it's there's going to be
politicians, there's going to be
captains of industry, there's
going to be in here, and if it's
an October surprise, well, he's
getting it started early. He's
got a couple weeks, but he
better hurry up, otherwise it's
no good.
John C Dvorak: I don't know what
they're going to do, but it's
definitely a story worth
following.
Unknown: I'm on it, yeah,
John C Dvorak: somebody needs to
be on it. Yes, my beat.
Adam Curry: I'm on it. I'm on
it.
John C Dvorak: Okay, well, what
else? Well,
Adam Curry: I have other things.
I was taking a break. I have,
you want to do anything here?
John C Dvorak: I have a couple.
I have a kind of a respite.
Respite a thing in the middle. I
got a ragovi thing I have to
play is we, by the way it's
pronounced, we go, V what's
Adam Curry: respite is that A,
is that something that you eat a
respite?
John C Dvorak: It's a thing in
the middle. It's like the
entremont to cleanse your
palate. It's a little palate
cleanser. Yes, exactly. Is this
a wegovy ad? I had to play this
because there's an interesting
element to this ad. Have you
Unknown: almost had trouble
losing weight and keeping it off
same? Discover
the power of we go. It
overweight,
we go, V shouldn't be used with
semaglutide or GLP, one
medicines.
Adam Curry: Well, isn't isn't
wegovy, GLP, isn't that? What it
John C Dvorak: is, it's
semaglutide. Yeah, it is
semaglutide. And so they're
telling you not to use it with
with itself, yeah,
Adam Curry: because you could OD
on it. You can od if you get too
much semaglutide. It
John C Dvorak: should not be
used with semaglutide, is what
they say. And it is cement
semaglutide. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Oh, well, I
John C Dvorak: thought that was
odd.
Adam Curry: Oh, boy, that
cleansed my palate. Ooh, I need
a drink of water. And by the
way,
John C Dvorak: I always
pronounce the semi. Blue tide.
But they pronounce this
semaglutide, which is
interesting myself. But yeah,
sounds,
Adam Curry: sounds more 2.5
milligrams. I believe sounds
more medical that way. So
magnetite, some magnetite. Yes,
a magnetite.
John C Dvorak: All right, that
was like the ones that say, do
not use it if you're allergic to
it. That's
Adam Curry: my favorite. Can I
do a little Can I do a little
bit of big tech stuff?
John C Dvorak: But we have big
tech stuff too. We
Adam Curry: got a little big
tech stuff. The first one is
Marsha Blackburn. She's from
Tennessee, isn't she? Marsha
Blackburn thinks she's from
Tennessee.
John C Dvorak: I don't think
she's from Tennessee. The
honorable Senator from Missouri,
isn't she?
Adam Curry: She's one of those
states she's looking up. She is
sounding the alarm on meta and
Google. Yes,
Unknown: indeed, we have found
out that it appears that what
they are doing is coordinating,
and they're listening in on
phone conversations and pulling
keywords. It's called doing a
keyword search and then selling
that data to advertisers who
then, if you're talking about
wanting something or going
somewhere, all of a sudden,
you're going to see that ad that
pops up, it is a privacy
invasion, and we have tried,
many times to pass a federal,
federal online privacy
protection legislation. And
John, as you know, these lawyers
and lobbyists in the millions,
10s of millions of dollars that
these platforms spend to fight
against this is astounding. So
it's never gotten across the
finish line. We've gotten close,
but we haven't been able to get
it across, and until we're able
to establish a federally
preemptive, national privacy
standard, you are not going to
see us be able to reign in this
overreach and this data mining
and these privacy invasions that
are carried forward by these big
tech platforms every single day.
When you are online, you are the
product.
Adam Curry: So that's a pretty
big allegation that they're
listening to your phone calls.
John C Dvorak: We know they've
been listening on those stupid
devices. Yes,
Adam Curry: yes, but I guess
they just have, you know, if you
install the Facebook app or any
app from Google, then in the EU
law, I'm sure you're just
saying, Yeah, go ahead and
they're listening. And, you
know,
John C Dvorak: I think you
install anything, if you look at
the laundry list of giveaways
you have to do, oh, you would.
They have access to your
microphone, they have access to
your photos, they have access to
your contact list. A lot of
these things, a lot of these
products. There's no reason in
the world they should have
access to any of this. But
they're they demand it, and you
to run the product, you got to
say, okay, whatever.
Adam Curry: I have an early
phone to stop this. I have an
early phone tip. Yes, I got a I
got a new phone. A $63 it is the
reasonable, yes, it's the cat,
as in Caterpillar. S 22 and I'll
tell you why I like this phone,
because I I was on my phone too
much. I'm just, like, I'm on
this phone this, you know, I've
got things alerts going off and
on my graphene OS, you know,
just, there's just too much
going on. Like, I want to have
something that gives me my email
that is not Gmail. Of course I
want text messaging. And what
else did I want? The my Bible
app. There you go. That's about
it. That's all I wanted. But
what this phone is, is it? It's
a flip phone, and it looks very
much like what was the one that
had that weird operating system.
Now it's like, it's an
industrial strength phone has a
big keyboard, almost like for
grandma, but the screen, which
is probably three inches by two
inches, it's a version of
Android, Android go. So you can
kind of customize it with as
little as you want. And even if
you put stuff on there, it's so
tiny, the screen and the pop up
keyboard is so small that it's
pretty much useless. So you can
customize a very minimal phone.
You don't install any of the
Google products. T Mobile
immediately, just turning it on,
popped up a whole Oh, install
these games yet. No T Mobile. So
you rip all the T Mobile stuff
off, and it's a very affordable,
very good phone, and it kind of
looks cool. It's people like,
Oh, what's that? A flip phone?
Oh, that's, it's the new Flex,
I'm told, and it's a good
product. Other than that's
Android, but outside. That if
you just want a phone that does
some small things that you need
and you don't need anything
else, it's good to go. That's my
tip. You might want to look into
one. John, you'd love it. I have
a good phone. Yeah, it's in the
desk.
John C Dvorak: No, it's in a
drawer downstairs.
Adam Curry: We move onwards to
my favorite topic, which is AI,
we have an update on chatgpt,
and OpenAI is going to
Unknown: start in the tech
world, a look at the company
behind artificial intelligence
chatbot, chatgpt,
that's right, Stuart, that
company is open AI, and it's now
one of the world's most valuable
startups. This after concluding
a fresh round of fundraising,
which brought in $6.6 billion
from a number of big investors,
including venture capital firm
Thrive capital, Japan's Softbank
and Microsoft, name a few. This
was one of the largest ever
funding rounds for a private
company. This means the AI
darling is now valued at $157
billion on par with established,
publicly listed companies like
Goldman, Sachs and Uber, that's
almost twice as much as it was
worth at the beginning of the
year. There are conditions to
this new round of financing
though. Open Eye, open. AI has
demanded that investors not be
allowed to put money into any of
its private competitors, like
Elon Musk's ex AI, for instance,
and investors will be able to
withdraw their money if the
company isn't fully converted to
a for profit company within two
years.
Adam Curry: So I've been looking
at what the what Wall Street
keeps calling the hyperscalers.
This is an unbelievable
expenditure that's taking place
for these data centers that
everyone thinks is going to be
necessary for this artificial
intelligence boom that we're
supposedly in. And, I mean, it's
amazing how, I mean, you talk
about their, you know, the
there, I think there's six
nuclear plants, small, medium
reactors, this, all this stuff
is being planned. And you look
at the flow charts of all these
companies, the picks and shovels
of this, and everybody's in on
it, but I don't know if they're
going to have any customers,
because I got this boots on the
ground for our producers about
epic, epic, epic medical they
they're the largest electronic
medical records vendor in the
industry, and so this is what
Larry Ellison was talking about,
like, oh, and then the the you
won't have to write a report. Me
able to write a report for you.
And then it'll contact the
pharmacy, and then the pharmacy
will will get your prescription,
everything's right, and then it
poops out a report for the
insurance company. Check out the
cost structure
Unknown: per
Adam Curry: per Okay. Cost
Structure per user, $3,000 per
month, 61 cents per user, query,
request. How can this be worth
it?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you can get
some minimum wage person to do
this work easily,
Unknown: easily.
Adam Curry: So this is our boots
on the ground, producers, the
execs, are all giddy about it.
And he says, meanwhile, since we
get
John C Dvorak: giddy about tech,
techie stuff, if it's in around
their kind of business, and they
can see, I've heard these
presentations and seen them
where somebody can come up and
look at this, look at this, look
at this. But the tradition,
traditionally in tech, the most
appealing factor is the cost
reductions. Reduction. It's
always reduction. It's gonna it
used to cost you this much in
the outline, it very carefully.
This what it cost you to do this
now with our product. And it's
not just half, usually half. It
has to cut it way down to, like
a 10th as much. Yeah, and this
is like more than, this is
almost always more than. I don't
get what the appeal is. These
people are dumb. He
Adam Curry: says the execs are
so giddy that has anything to do
with AI. He says, while they're
waiting for this to be
implemented, we'll see how long
that takes. Their doctors are
buried in this reporting stuff,
and have started using just
chatgpt to write their patient
notes, which is a complete
violation of HIPAA. You're
actually just feeding the models
the information about your
patience. This is, this is out
of control. This really, this is
so stupid. But okay, it's
keeping Wall Street afloat.
Everybody's happy, I guess. And
to drive the
John C Dvorak: point home,
you're such a Debbie Downer.
Adam Curry: I am a Debbie
Downer. I am I was watching a
another piece on, I think was,
PBS, about the secret facility
in upstate New York. IBM is now
working on the real quantum
computer. It's so groovy. The
quantum computer is going to do
everything with their qubits.
Qubits are going to make it all
happen. IBM lies, someone
finally did it for you. John,
what is your test? The Dvorak
Rorschach test of a good search
engine or something that will
give you results that you
John C Dvorak: right. You asked
the question, what is the best
weed whacker
Adam Curry: you buy? That is the
question. And 99%
John C Dvorak: of the time, you
get phony sites that own, you
know, companies that own the
weed whacker, companies showing
you, here's the top 10 weed
whackers, and theirs is always
number one, but they never
mentioned that. It's all, it's
of scam. The whole thing's a
scam. Well, let's
Adam Curry: listen to notebook
LM, a deep dive on the best weed
whacker. All right, so
Douche: you're ready to tackle
those overgrown weeds, huh? But
like, whoa, picking a weed
whacker can feel like a mission
impossible sometimes, right?
Bag: It totally can. They're
like a zillion options out
there. It's easy to get lost in
the weeds trying to figure it
all out,
Douche: exactly. So diving deep
into the world of weed whackers.
We're gonna figure out which
brands are the real deal, not
just marketing hype. And
luckily, we've
Adam Curry: got just marketing
hype, John, it's for you. This
is for you an
Douche: expert here who can weed
out the weaklings, so to speak.
Bag: I like what you did there.
And yeah, there's definitely a
lot to consider beyond just the
brand name, totally.
Douche: So let's say you're a
landscaping Pro. You're out
there every day battling some
seriously tough weeds. What are
the brands you rely on? Well,
for pure,
Bag: you know, workhorse
reliability you can't beat
still, like they're known for
building these tanks. Basically,
their engines are something
else, big pistons, heavy duty
crankshafts, not your average,
you know, flimsy weed whacker.
Yeah, these
Douche: are the ones that can
handle getting banged around a
bit, right? Exactly?
Bag: Landscapers swear by them.
Especially the FS series. Those
are legendary. Now,
Adam Curry: the steel S, T, I,
H, L, E, I
John C Dvorak: think. No, no, E,
Adam Curry: oh, the landscaper
series, they're legendary. Do
you agree? Is this the best
white weed wagger I don't
John C Dvorak: know. Well, I
can't find it out by going on
the web, and they're just
telling me something I'm sure is
done by some sort of a scammer.
Okay,
Douche: so still's got the heavy
duty category covered. But what
about someone like me? I've got
a small yard, not exactly a
jungle out. This is
Bag: right. So you don't need a
monster truck. You need
something a little more like
nimble. That's where ego comes
in. They've really nailed the
whole battery
Douche: powered thing. Ooh,
battery powered. Tell me more
about
Bag: that. Okay, so they use
these lithium ion batteries,
right? Oh, man, they pack a
punch. Plenty of power for a
typical yard, but no gas, no
fumes, and way lighter than
those gas guzzlers. That's
Douche: a game changer for real.
Adam Curry: I don't think we're
ever going to get a conclusion
out of this, John, they are not
solving the problem,
John C Dvorak: not at all. And
it's possible that those
products are good. I mean, they
may be good, but are they the
best? And there's no way finding
out. There's no lab testing. All
of them, Consumer Reports that i
Far as I know, haven't done
anything on weed whackers, and
they probably will leave out
some of them, because they're
not complete anymore in their
analysis of anything, they
always leave something out.
Everybody does, and it's just
hopeless. It is. I'll just be
now listen to these two jokers.
Adam Curry: Okay, speaking of
jokers, we have big news. It
finally happened, there are a
few smiles
Unknown: in world politics more
earnest than Mark rutters, the
former Dutch Prime Minister has
been well known for his affable
public persona, something that
served him well for the last 14
years in the Netherlands. His
next role may require a
different approach. On Tuesday,
Rusta takes over as Secretary
General of NATO, which has been
led by Norway Jens Stoltenberg
for the last 10 years, NATO
might be the most successful
military alliance in history,
but is facing challenges
possibly more fundamental than
any other time their last 75
years. Finally,
Adam Curry: Jens Stoltenberg has
handed over the reins to the soy
boy of the Netherlands, known as
Mark Ritter, who used to be in
HR at, what's the, what's the
big UK, Dutch firm that does
cosmetics and baby lotion,
John C Dvorak: I don't know.
Adam Curry: I mean, I do know,
but I can't remember, Unilever.
Unilever. Oh, Unilever. He was
one of the HR ladies at
Unilever. So he is now the
Secretary General of NATO, and
I'm very happy because we get to
make fun of how he talks. Good
afternoon.
Unknown: Good afternoon. Hello,
and I'm glad to see all you were
here today. Yes, it's very good
to have you here. Brussels. Hash
von. Of the largest
international press corps in the
world. Yes, and I'm looking
forward to be working with you.
All right. First, I want again
to express my profound gratitude
to Jens Stoltenberg, thank you,
Jens, for the tremendous job he
has done in the past 10 years.
Fantastic few leaders of this
alliance faced a more
challenging geopolitical
environment. Is good, but Jens
steered us through difficult
times with a steady hand. Very
steady hand. He played a big
part in making today's NATO
stronger than ever, and he
leaves behind an enduring
legacy,
Adam Curry: an enduring legacy,
by the way, I think was a hold,
which is Albert Heijn. Big
shopping concern doesn't matter.
He was with the HR lady. So here
is the meat of his speech.
Surprise, surprise, the soy boy
is all in on the military
industrial complex. I
Unknown: have three priorities,
three, and sure we have the
capabilities to protect against
any threat. Yes, the Russia
supports Ukraine in fighting
back against Russian aggression,
aggression and addressing the
growing global challenges to
Euro, Atlantic security like
China first on our military
capabilities. Okay, NATO's core
mission is to ensure our
collective deterrence and
defense. No,
Adam Curry: no, our core mission
is to spend money.
Unknown: Over the past decade,
we have made tremendous progress
in ensuring we have the forces
and capabilities to deter and
defend against any threat from
any direction, Russia, but we
must go further, okay, and
faster to meet the enormous
challenge ahead. Here we go. We
need more, better Eclipse
forces. Yes, more robust
transatlantic defense industry.
Oh yeah,
increased defense production.
Money, money. Greater investment
in innovation. Ai secure supply
chains. Yes, more money. Allies
are already stepping up with
plans to require 1000s of air
defense and artillery systems,
many hundreds of modern
aircraft, yeah, mostly fifth
generation S, 35 as well as
substantial high end
capabilities. What about the
money? But to truly match our
capabilities with our needs, we
need significantly more defense
spending money, and I will work
with allies to ensure that we
invest enough in the right
areas, and that we shoulder the
burden for our collective
defense equitably.
Adam Curry: Now I'm glad that
everyone else is going to be
paying more money, more money
for bombs and stuff and F 35
this great congratulations.
NATO.
John C Dvorak: Well, the last
thing Stoltenberg said when he
got out and left, he did a
interview with that funny
sounding British, semi British
sounding PBS, woman who's been
around forever. I can't think of
her name offhand, but she has a
show. He sits down with her, and
he talks about how, you know,
the main with the lane, one of
the main things I wanted to get
get accomplished is get Ukraine
into NATO. And the first thing
that this bonehead says he wants
to make sure to get Ukraine into
NATO, yeah, of course, which is
the reason that the Russians are
all upset, yes. And all you have
to do is say no to that, no, no,
no, no, and that war would be
over. But nobody wants to do
that.
Adam Curry: No, only Trump can't
have debt, can't have debt.
Season of review, a little
season of review, seasoning not
seasoning the season of review.
What that was? Seasoning of
reveal, no, no, that's a new
product I'm working on. This is
just that, but Tate be tasty.
This is the season of reveal.
We'll remember the
snowpocalypse. Oh, man, was it
now five years ago, four years
ago, when people died all
throughout Texas. We were stuck
in our home without electricity
for four days, I think, and the
show deconstructed. This was a
scam. This was a scam by the
energy producers, by ERCOT. It
was the old ERCOT is our central
exchange, which is literally
like a stock exchange of trading
energy units back and forth at
best price that it was Enron
people, old Enron people didn't
John C Dvorak: people. You get a
clue, you stay, stay with it
work before. Well,
Adam Curry: there's an expose, a
those
Unknown: deadly blackouts that
we remember and killed hundreds
of people during the 2021 winter
storm may have been an inside
job. A new lawsuit alleges
energy companies created an
artificial natural gas shortage.
KXAN Tom Miller talked to the
Hill reporter, saw elbine about
the other claims made in that
lawsuit.
246 people died in the 2021
winter storm. They were freezing
temperatures. There were
blackouts. And now there's an
allegation from this pipeline.
Analytics company that says this
was pre planned, and that's
pretty startling.
Yeah,
so now we need to be careful
when we talk about pre planned.
So what it comes down to is
supply and demand. The
allegations are that in the
weeks before the storm, and
particularly in the days before
the storm, several dozen of
Texas's biggest oil and gas and
pipeline companies started
restricting the supply of
natural gas to their power plant
customers, effectively
strangling them of the fuel they
needed to run the grid. And
then, as the grid started to go
wobbly, and the power plants
panicked, and the state
government panicked, and prices
were allowed to rise basically
freely, then the gas companies,
the allegation is, took that gas
that they had now had on hand,
and they'd freed up by breaking
those contracts, and they sold
it for a whole lot of money.
Adam Curry: Pretty much what we
said this is exactly what
happened. They they left people
out in the cold. And remember
the prices? Remember the prices
were like $7,000 a kilowatt
hour, it was high. It was high.
And so now, can we, can we get
any, can we claw back any of
that money?
Unknown: Publicly? There was
this defense that the grid was
not winterized, and the lawsuit
says that that's actually pretty
misleading. Yeah,
so the head of circles Access
Pipeline Company says a two inch
pipeline, two inch pipeline can
freeze a 20 inch pipeline in a
state that gets freezes, not
infrequently. That's a little
bit more suspicious. The
defendants
are these gas companies,
pipeline companies,
banks. What
are they saying
they were in court to say, we
need to throw this case out, and
at this stage in the game, what
that looks like is you
essentially say, let's say
everything you're saying is
true. We did the crime of the
century. It doesn't matter
because we're in the wrong
jurisdiction, or you're wrong on
some key point of law, and in
this case, the reason that
they're saying that plaintiffs
are wrong is, you'll remember,
people were pretty mad just
after winter storm Yuri, and the
legislature heard how mad you
were, and it created a state
payment plan to pay off that
huge debt, and they created a
procedure to go through to make
sure that that money was to make
sure that those bills were fair.
And so the defendants
essentially said, look, the time
to bring this up was then, it's
too late now.
Adam Curry: Scam, massive scam.
No one will go to jail.
Nothing's gonna happen. This is
on KXAN, Austin. No one cares
about them.
John C Dvorak: Little local
station. Yeah, we've gone
through it here, yes, when Gray
Davis was the governor, well,
you went through all. We have to
have gray outs, brown house
blackouts. Remember, we
Adam Curry: had the phone calls
of Enron guys, yeah, cut the
electricity. Cut it, cut it.
Black them out, yeah, yeah,
yeah.
John C Dvorak: They got the only
thing that happened. They did
end up recalling the guy in
Schwarzenegger became the
governor. Yeah, of course, he
didn't do much, but it was at
least something. I've
Adam Curry: pushed all donations
back to the end of the show,
John, you probably noticed,
since it's going to be long, I
figured we'd do everything in
one go, because we got a lot of
Commodores.
John C Dvorak: Okay, you just
it's gonna take about a half an
hour to go through all the
donations. That's
Adam Curry: why I figured, you
know, we get all the news out of
the way, and then we thank
everybody. You know, it's a
happy day.
John C Dvorak: Hello. No, that's
not what I was expecting.
Really. You are. Since you want
to do that, I don't really have
a problem. I have a three by
three that was sent in, and now
Unknown: it's time for three by
three. Experiment five, JCD,
comparing stories from ABC, CBS
and NBC, the never ending three
by three.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. I guess I
should have cleared it with you.
I figured you'd be okay with
that. I just looked at the list.
I'm like, we should just should
just do this all at the
John C Dvorak: end. I thought
when it was long, that's when
you why we wanted to break it
up. No, no.
Adam Curry: But this is, this is
too long because it's all top
heavy.
Unknown: So
John C Dvorak: both sides are
just a lot of people. But we're
going to talk about the Iranian
missile barrage, which is like,
I think we may have predicted it
was not going to amount to much.
We
Adam Curry: I think we literally
said fireworks.
John C Dvorak: And here we go
with our reporting. I, you know,
I'm kind of moving CBS up on
this, because I think that
they've lost their their
mechanic. Well, no, it's like we
always thought him as CIA, but
after watching the debate and
some of these lunatics that are
there at CBS, I don't know if
the CIA is really doing much
there.
Unknown: So let's start with
them from the White House
Situation Room, President Biden
and vice president Harris
monitored Iran's attack on
Israel with their national
security team tonight, the
President says Iran failed its
mission.
The attack appears to have been
defeated and ineffective, and
this is testament to Israeli
military capability and US
military.
And he vowed to help Israel
defend itself.
Make no mistake, the United
States is fully. Fully, fully
supportive of Israel. The
US has more than 40,000 troops
and aircraft squadrons spread
across the Middle East, along
with 12 warships in the region.
Another one is on its way today,
two of the Navy destroyers fired
roughly a dozen interceptors
against Iranian missiles. We
will never hesitate to take
whatever action is necessary to
defend us forces and interests
against Iran and Iran backed
terrorists, and we will continue
to work with our allies and
partners to disrupt Iran's
aggressive behavior and hold
them accountable. Former
President Trump claimed Biden
and Harris are leading the us to
the brink of a wider war.
Iran has been exporting terror
all over the world, and it's
been just unraveling. The whole
Middle East has been unraveling.
But of course, the whole world
has been unraveling since we
left office.
Tonight, the White House insists
Iran will face, quote, severe
consequences for that missile
attack. President Biden said
what those are remains to be
seen. He has not spoken to
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
since the strike, but says he
plans to what
Adam Curry: I miss in that
report from CBS, they didn't use
the phrase ballistic missiles.
John C Dvorak: I heard that some
people use ICBMs, which I
thought was interesting, which
Adam Curry: I don't know if they
were. They're not
intercontinental ballistic
missiles. Are they? Well, it's
intercontinental. Was it between
continents? Oh, it's
John C Dvorak: on No, it wasn't.
Well, it's on the same
continent. Well, the I have to
mention the one thing, the you
have to before I get to the next
two clips. This is the only the
one guy was, you know, they sent
out 200 missiles, and one guy's
dead. And here's the irony. Read
this. This is the, oh, is this
the Palestinian? Yeah, Israel
ran iron, dead guy, PBS, Israel.
Uh, hold on, Israel says ran,
but means Iran.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah, I got it.
I saw the video of this. Another
Unknown: Gazan laid to rest
today. 38 year old, Sami al
asali, a resident of the
occupied West Bank, and the only
person known killed by Iran's
massive missile attack.
Adam Curry: Did you see the
video of that? No, oh, so it's,
it's like, it's like a security
camera footage on the building,
and you see the guy, why he's
the only guy on the street, and
this massive, you know, the
thrust part, just, you know,
this shell from this ballistic
missile falls right on top of
him, and he just, like, chops
him in half.
John C Dvorak: It's like, glad I
didn't see
Adam Curry: it. It's the worst
day record video of the year.
Imagine just walking out by
yourself and, boom, this thing
falls right on your head. It was
unbelievable.
John C Dvorak: Well, he's the
only guy, so let's go with ABC.
Unknown: We know the US was
actively involved in
intercepting these missiles
today, absolutely helping Israel
defend itself. They had two
destroyers in the eastern
Mediterranean. They launched
missiles to intercept 12 of
those Iranian missiles. We're
not sure how many were
intercepted, but certainly some
of them, you know, you on those
ships. It's like a bullet
hitting a bullet, a missile
hitting a missile to protect
Israel. Extraordinary precision
involved. In the meantime,
Martha, I know you've been
talking with your sources today.
How concerned is the US of the
potential of a wider regional
war here, and could Israel now
vowing to retaliate? Could
Israel target Iran's nuclear
sites? Well,
at this point, David, My sources
tell me they don't really know
what Israel is going to do,
they're waiting. They will
probably get some sort of heads
up before they respond, but they
are worried about how broad a
response. I don't think they're
concerned at this point that
they will hit nuclear sites, but
it is certainly possible. But
given the fact that was not
major damage, they're hoping
that Israel tamps it down.
Adam Curry: Isn't this just
exactly the same as the last
time? Yeah, just, oh, shoot some
rockets. Okay, all
John C Dvorak: that's missing
from these reports is the and
somebody sent me a number of
clips. I didn't use any of them,
but I'll mention a lot of clips
saying, Well, you know, Iran is
one week away from a nuclear
bomb. Didn't
Adam Curry: they also have that
in the debate, didn't enormous.
There was a, I think, in the
debate, there was a one or two
weeks away from having a nuclear
weapon, because we've
John C Dvorak: been hearing for
at least, I don't know how far
back this goes. Maybe,
Adam Curry: I don't know,
forever, forever, at least Obama
years, definitely.
John C Dvorak: All right, so
let's finish with the NBC, our
Comcast operation. President
Unknown: Biden tonight declaring
Iran's major assault on Israel a
failure.
The attack appears to have been
defeated and ineffective. The
President crediting the US is
extensive planning, anticipating
today's attack and working
alongside its close ally,
Israel.
Make no mistake. Right, the
United States is fully, fully,
fully supportive of Israel.
Earlier President Biden with
Vice President Harris monitoring
the attack alongside their
national security team from the
Situation Room, The White House
says Iran did not give any
advance notice of today's
missile barrage. That comes as
the Biden administration's
months long effort to prevent a
larger war in the Middle East is
now facing its toughest test
yet. The president tonight
saying it remains to be seen
with the consequences for Iran
will be the Vice President also
condemning the Iranian attack.
Iran
is a debilizing, dangerous force
in the Middle East, and today's
attack on Brazil only further
demonstrates that fact, still,
former
President Trump, campaigning in
Wisconsin, argues, on the
administration's watch, the
world is spiraling out of
control.
Adam Curry: He said some Trump
said something else, which I
thought was rather interesting,
which kind of fits into our
general theory that many of the
main guys in Iran may already be
dead, that there's been this
systematic elimination of
surgical precision, either
through bombs or missiles
through the window or pagers
exploding. And here's what Trump
said, this
Unknown: has really been bad,
but they have to finish that
process. However, it turns out,
they have to finish the process.
This is a little bit like two
kids fighting in the school you
are sometimes you have to just
sort of let it go a little bit,
and we'll see what happens.
That's
Adam Curry: a far cry from the
brink of destruction. You
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah, this
whole thing is suspicious, and
until I see any evidence to the
contrary, even though you're
always going out on a limb when
you say, well, this whole
thing's theater and bullcrap,
which is what we've said, yes,
when you send 200 missiles over
and you can't kill anybody but
some poor, hapless Palestinian
atmosphere walking home in the
West Bank. It didn't
Adam Curry: even get hit by the
by the by the warhead. It was
hit by the empty shell just
dropped on him.
John C Dvorak: It's like, yeah,
no, no, this doesn't make any
sense at all. If you targeted
200 missiles, all on, all on
your take and, like they said, a
bullet, a bullet. Come on. This
is, this is harkens back to the
old days of the Scud. Remember
the Scud missile attacks? The
Adam Curry: Scud stud? Where's
he? We need him again. Yeah, the
Scuds. Yeah, I was good. Did
they still use those Scuds? Did
we offload those on Ukraine?
Guys have been upgraded. Did we
send them to Ukraine? You have
some Scuds? Well, they
John C Dvorak: weren't our it
was a Russian missile. Was the
Scud? Oh,
Adam Curry: that's right, we had
the Patriots against the Scud.
You're the Patriots, which are
useless too. Did you see
Netanyahu talk to the people of
Iran? Yeah, I did. What'd you
think?
John C Dvorak: Well, he's
speaking in English. He's
talking to us. But make some
point or other. Well, the point
I got from
Adam Curry: him was regime
change. Yeah, that's
John C Dvorak: what it was all
about. The whole speech was
about, you know, we're gonna,
this will be final blow over.
You'll get rid of these guys. We
Adam Curry: love you. No, he was
and we love you guys. We love
you guys. We love you Iran. We
love you guys. We want to be
friends with you. We'll be
peaceful and prosperous. It's
true. I think he's, he's, he's
trying to get, you know, trying
to trigger the the next Green
Revolution, or whatever it is
not that he's going to trigger
it with that. Color revolution
is the word you're looking for,
but it was green specifically in
Iran. I think, I think their
color was green.
John C Dvorak: I don't remember
the color. I thought it was
something else, but, yeah, that
would be nice. Whether you can
pull that off or not. I'm not
sure. Did you hear that they're
talking about? Did you hear
something? Did you hear ju i
have this. I don't have a clip
here. I should bring it on. On
Sunday, Julian Assange is
soliloquy about how they
Adam Curry: I saw a little bit
of it, a little bit of it. Oh, I
John C Dvorak: have the whole
thing. It's like it was hard to
get because it keeps being
pulled. But I think it's bull
crap.
Unknown: Tell me, well, he's
John C Dvorak: talking about the
CIA mainly Pompeo and Barr had a
scheme to have him killed when
he was in the UK Ecuadorian
Embassy. And the more I think
about it, it's like if they had
a scheme to kill him, he
Adam Curry: would have been
dead. He would be dead.
John C Dvorak: I don't think
it's this. I don't think the CIA
I'm not a member. I'll get paid
by them, and I'll get a check. I
think we get checks occasionally
for the show,
Adam Curry: but we need more.
We'll take cash. We need more.
You can use stripe. It's all
good.
John C Dvorak: Stripe works is
the I just don't think they're
in the I just, I think the there
was maybe a. Scenario threat
that was given to him to scare
him, maybe, but I just don't
think they're in the business of
killing journalists left and
right under any circumstance,
especially this guy who is a
valuable asset. And like you
said, and I would agree, they
could have taken him out because
he was going on the balcony
every day and giving speeches.
They could have been taken up by
a sniper 600 yards away. They
would never caught him. Yeah,
it's a million things that could
have happened, but no.
Adam Curry: 2009 was the Iranian
green. Green movement.
John C Dvorak: It was green,
okay? It
Adam Curry: was green. It was
green. Didn't didn't work too
well. The Green Movement,
John C Dvorak: no, because we,
they weren't backed up by Obama
pulled a plug. That's right, he
didn't do it right
Adam Curry: now, the Netanyahu
thinking that when I and it's
like three minutes, and we don't
have to play it, obviously. But
when I was listening to him,
like, you know, this sounds like
there's, you know, he's just
saying, Oh, it's the it's the
moolahs, it's those guys. Your
leadership is no good bastards.
Yeah, take them out. And I'm,
you know, I we need to hear from
our dude named Muhammad.
John C Dvorak: Have you seen?
Well, yeah, a lot of dudes named
Mohammed. Did you see the the
clips that are going around
about the the in in Iran, the
latest kind of tick tock thing
going on? No. Oh, because so
this, this, I didn't retweet it.
I don't think I might have, but
it's about four minutes of just
one guy after another knocking
turbans off the heads of all
these moolahs. What? Yeah,
teenage punks. That seems like a
bad idea. Well, they're doing it
by the hundreds because they
just showed it over and over,
one after another. These kids,
these kids would go by on a
bicycle, knock the hat off. Oh,
there another kid. There's
Adam Curry: there's your next
Green Revolution. It's the hat
tipping revolution.
John C Dvorak: They are knocking
hats off of these guys, left and
right. And there's always
somebody filming it. And there
is, like, we're talking about
10s, there could be hundreds of
these guys getting their hands
on. They get all angry and shake
their face. But all these, by
the way, these these moles are
wearing these long garbs, and
these kids are wearing jeans, so
the kids run away. You can't get
up up to speed because of their
outfits. I'm
Adam Curry: telling you this. Do
they have a name for it? There
must be some kind of, they've
got to have a name for this, for
this action.
John C Dvorak: I don't know what
to name for it. There has to be,
you're right, but it's, it seems
to be some sort of a trend. Let
Adam Curry: me see knocking
turbans off in Iran. Let's see
turban tossing. There it is.
Yes, sure, yes. That's
John C Dvorak: what it's called,
turban tossing. Turban
Adam Curry: tossing. We have a
revolution. It's the turbine
tossing revolution. I love it.
That could be it You humiliate
them. You humiliate them by
knocking by tossing their
turbans off, and then we'll
unseat them. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Well, anything's
positive. Have
Adam Curry: you been following
the thorium stuff, thorium
reactors and stuff, thorium
reactors,
John C Dvorak: yeah, what about
Yeah, they've
Adam Curry: been around for a
while. Do they work? Is that for
real? Yeah, they
John C Dvorak: work fine. They
work good. They work well, I'm
sorry, yeah,
Adam Curry: I think that's what
gates is doing. I think he's
doing these thorium reactors.
John C Dvorak: I think he's
doing a liquid, liquid salt
stuff wasn't
Adam Curry: thorium salt. I
think isn't that the No, thorium
is not
John C Dvorak: salt. I mean, it
may be using the salt in the
thorium reactor, but it's not no
thorium. I used to have thorium
at the lab in when I was working
at Union oil, uh huh. And there
was always a jar of thorium. It
was surrounded by what is it
used for? It's used for some
tests that I never did. And
always had this surrounded by
lead, and it was in the shelf
with all the other dangerous
products. And it was always
interesting, if you had a Geiger
counter, so you could take the
top off and to get the Geiger
counter reading, and wow, stuff
is
Adam Curry: looking at all
these, at all these different
companies that are that are
building thorium reactors. And,
you know, the cost is almost
zero, and it takes, like, 18
months to put want to get a
reactor set up. This could
change a lot of stuff.
John C Dvorak: Well, there is a
move, I think, make it a move
toward back to nuclear. Oh, and
I think molten salt, thorium,
these sorts of things that are
going to be in play. I
Adam Curry: mean, listen to this
great British nuclear unveils
SMR shortlist, Wyoming. Bill
Gates moves ahead with nuclear
project aimed at revolutionizing
power generation project. Pele
microreactor breaks ground us
closes one point $52 billion
loan to resurrect Michigan
nuclear plant. It's everywhere,
and it's all for AI, of course,
for the data centers. Well,
John C Dvorak: I think that's
the front. It must be a front.
It's like you say, well, we're
going to have to have this
because, I mean, people push
back on nuclear, and you create
this front of AI. And. And then
AI flops. I say, well, we got to
turn this loose to the public.
Gets this energy now, and boom,
you got your energy prices
dropping back down to where this
should be,
Adam Curry: which, well, it'd
be. It would go really low.
John C Dvorak: Let's hope so.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: I mean, you could
change the world this. You could
actually change not with this
solar and wind stuff, but this
thorium. I mean, it's, you know,
one little marble sized ball of
thorium would be enough for for
you all your energy needs for
the rest of your life. Well,
that's the sales pitch. That's
the pitch.
John C Dvorak: That's a good
one. Yeah,
Adam Curry: um, Austria.
Following on Germany, following
on France, following on arguably
the United States, the far
right, the far right,
Unknown: some branding, anti
Nazi banners, dozens of
protesters gathered outside the
Vienna Parliament's building
after Sunday's general election,
which saw the far right Freedom
Party secure an unprecedented
victory.
That means social cuts for
Austria. That means lower
salaries. That means a
catastrophe, especially for
migrants and for the women who
are demonstrating in favor of
abortion. Again, we started
demonstrating 40 years ago, and
I can't do it anymore. It
is definitely a shift to the
right in Austria and throughout
Europe, and that we are losing
our free country and our free
life. We want to live a communal
life, be united and live
peacefully.
In Austria, some have welcomed
the FPOs when I expected
the FPO to come first one day,
but not today. Yes, it
definitely a good thing.
Taking the reins of the party in
2021 Herbert kikel has tapped
into concerns about immigration
in Austria and has capitalized
on anger at the government's
response to the covid pandemic.
His party is critical of Islam,
and it's pushing for tougher
laws on asylum seekers. Kikkel
is also against giving aid to
Ukraine. He wants sanctions
against Russia to be lifted,
arguing that they harm Austria
more than Moscow, only the
conservative Austrian People's
Party, the OVP, has offered any
suggestion it could work with
the FPO, but has insisted it is
unwilling to do so with Kiko. If
kikl fails to ally with another
party, this could end the FPOs
aspirations to govern and enable
a coalition of more moderate
parties. It's
Adam Curry: interesting how this
has happened in every country in
Europe, the Netherlands, France,
Germany, they, you know, the
people vote, and they say, well,
it's far right. The people vote
for a party that's against
replacement migration, which is
the plan they're against, you
know, climate change nonsense
they're against, you know, the
all of this stuff, and then the
great, wonderful democracy, the
parliamentary system, they all
gang up and go, nah, now we're
not going to do a coalition with
you. Pound sand. What the people
want?
John C Dvorak: Yes, this seems
to be a theme, and I don't
understand it, but how people
put up with it. But it turns
out, somebody discovered that
they put up with it, so let's
keep doing it. Yeah,
Adam Curry: and if you listen to
this, support this report about
a white supremacist gang who
were arrested, you know, there's
really no white supremacy going
on with this gang. They would do
any legal stuff, but it's billed
as white supremacists. The LAPD,
Unknown: FBI, DEA and other law
enforcement agencies announced
today that they've taken down
dozens of members of the
notorious white supremacist gang
the pecker woods. The gang is
based out of the San Fernando
Valley. If I
Adam Curry: was going to start a
white supremacist gang, I don't
think the pecker Woods would be
my name the first would you get
this report? ABC, LA, the pecker
woods. Nine
Unknown: federal arrest warrants
were served this morning. 68
members of the gang were
indicted on charges ranging from
gun violations to identity
theft.
It appears, however, that the
business of hate was not enough
for them. Their criminal
activity took on different
forms.
John C Dvorak: What is the
business of hate? Exactly, the
business? Is there a business
model or there you have to pay
taxes? I mean, what? What is the
business of hate. It's
Adam Curry: pecker Woods LLC.
We're in the business of hate.
How much hate would you like for
me today
Unknown: that the business of
hate was not enough for them.
Their criminal activity took on
different forms, driven by
greed, as alleged today, they
engaged in drug distribution,
multiple fraud schemes and
firearms offenses,
42 of the 68 gang members
indicted are now in custody. The
remaining 26 are fugitives. The
peckerwoods, according to
federal law enforcement, have
aligned themselves with the
Aryan Brotherhood and Mexican
Mafia prison gangs. How
Adam Curry: can you be white
supremacist if you. Working with
Mexicans
John C Dvorak: Mexican Mafia
doesn't make sense.
Adam Curry: Imagine the hand,
the secret handshake the
peckerwoods have. What
Unknown: we wanted to do through
this investigation was
neutralizes threat as quickly as
possible. So as I said, we're
not going to wait around for a
tragedy to occur. We're going to
take action right away. And in
order to do that, we use every
tool in our federal toolbox to
address that
Adam Curry: in our toolbox. This
is such nice
John C Dvorak: handshake
involves a hot dog in some funny
way.
Adam Curry: You got anything
else you want to get off your
chest before we induct. Some
comment, I
John C Dvorak: have a couple,
just two quickies. The quickie.
Quickie is Mayor Adams update?
Ah, yes,
Unknown: the mayor guy. Federal
prosecutors say they could bring
additional charges against Mayor
Eric Adams and indict others.
Adams appeared in court today
after his Friday arraignment.
According to the indictment, the
mayor accepted about $100,000
worth of free or discounted
goods and services. Prosecutors
say those included international
flights, hotel stays, meals and
entertainment from foreign
interests. The allegations
spanned nearly a decade. Adams
attorney requested a march trial
date, an important ballot
deadline for next June's mayoral
election. Assistant U S attorney
Hagan Scott, and told Judge Dale
ho that prosecutors will likely
seek a superseding indictment
against the mayor Scott, and
also indicated that additional
defendants could be charged.
Adams has pleaded not guilty.
Adam Curry: Would you send me
the email that this Jumanji guy
would be the replacement mayor?
Yes,
John C Dvorak: who was the real
lefty?
Adam Curry: It was like a
commie, like a commie, yeah,
basically a communist. Oh, man,
New York, they're so screwed.
John C Dvorak: I'd have to say
yes. So I do have to, I just the
final clips. Since we're gonna
go into a long thing, it's gonna
take forever. I have to play
this because this just started
this week, and it was my, one of
my reasons for dropping CBS as
the CIA front, oh, a new show
began this week called CB
because to compete with Kathy, I
guess, and her husband, or Kathy
Lee, whoever Her name is, Kathy
Kathy Lee, Dard Shani or, I
don't remember her name, but the
CBS mornings, the mornings, you
know, the competitive morning
show, third hour,
Adam Curry: oh yes, Kathy Lee is
in the third hour of the of
John C Dvorak: the of the third
hour is it goes up against hoda,
hoda and Jenny, whatever their
names, I can't keep it. But the
drinkers,
Adam Curry: the drinkers, the
drinkers, drinkers, yes,
John C Dvorak: I have two clips
just to show you that these
people, they found two people.
One of them was sweet. I mean,
she seems okay. What is her
name? She's Andrea Adriana Diaz,
she's she's nice, but she's
like, I don't know. She's got
any brains, and Tony dokapol,
this other guy who's like, they
just, CBS just fired guys that
fired a whole bunch of people
because of Paramount's new
ownership, right? Yeah, they
fired like Jeff Glor, who's a
terrific character. He should
have stayed with CBS. No, they
fire him, and they're using Tony
and these two people, they like
they let's put two people in
front of the public that really
don't know a lot about anything.
Yeah, excellent. So let's listen
to this. Here they have. They're
going to discuss, how about air
foils, because neither one of
them can understand how
airplanes work.
Unknown: Okay? So you,
every day about 45,000 planes
take off and stay up there in
the air. By magic, it would
seem. Do you know how they stay
up there? I sure don't. But it
turns out scientists not sure
either. Tony, you've been
talking about this frickin must.
Do you know that we don't know
how planes fly. I've been
talking about this literally
since my head was low enough to
not hit it on the table right
here. I've been since as a
child. This is wondrous and
amazing, but carry on. Okay,
well, I can't hear this anymore,
so we brought in Samantha Kelly,
who was an expert in all things
aerospace. Emily, I'm so sorry.
I don't know where Samantha
came. Yeah, but you are here to
clear things up for Tony, or
maybe not
clear things up. Yes, well, I
will say flight is beautifully
complex, and there is no one
single theory that can explain
it perfectly, all at once, but
there are two that give you most
of the idea, but there's still a
mystery about one of them. So
the first part of the
explainers, we have two. The
first one is Bernoulli
principle. And Bernoulli
principle is something that
tells you about what what
happens when air moves fast?
Okay? Because when you have a
wing, because of the airfoil and
the weights moving through the
air, you have fast moving air
that goes over the wing. What
is airfoil? Oh, my
Adam Curry: God, this they
should make them drink. This is
no good.
John C Dvorak: And they bring.
This expert who caught talks
about bernoullis. She's talking
about Bernoulli. Bernoulli.
Adam Curry: He's, like, it's a
sauce, like, we have the
wonderful new Bernoulli sauce on
our she curious.
John C Dvorak: At the end of
this, this a long exposition.
These people go, Oh, really. And
the whole thing goes on, and she
finally pronounces Bernoulli
correctly at
Adam Curry: the end. What is an
airfoil. I don't know. I don't
understand how airplane had to
cut it
John C Dvorak: off there,
because it was like, Okay, well,
there you go. You don't even
know what an airfoil is. Why are
you getting paid a ton of money
to do a morning show? Now I have
one other clip from the same
show. This is for this was
introduced this week on Monday,
and it turns out that this Tony
guy has really got some issues,
some family issues, that come
out in this kind of a just a
dumb discussion. And all of a
sudden we hear we hear him start
to complain about his dad. Here
we go. Magic.
Unknown: You have the biggest
heart of anybody. I don't know
if you will ever understand how
much you impacted my life. Wow.
I love this story all telling
you. So here is my take away
from that there is both healing
and joy from acknowledging those
in our lives who were there for
us and showed up during our
darkest time. So I pose to the
both of you, is there somebody
in your life that you would like
to go back and thank
I would think my kindergarten
teacher, Mr. Roca. I loved her.
I loved her like family. She was
call me bambina, which is like,
I think, little girl. What does
it mean? Patty, bambina, little
girl in Italian. So I just he
was, made me feel so special.
And I misunderstood the
assignment. I was going to say
my dad, who I went back, not to
thank but to say, no thanks.
Thanks for nothing. Why did you
walk away? But it was actually
well worth it. I also think a
lot of people are alienated from
family members, reconnecting,
finding what you missed, and
then getting what you need to go
forward is also really
important. David Becknell, I
love your stories. I will get
the assignment right next time,
and I'll see you next on the
following Monday. Best segment.
Title knows America. You can
catch David's full story on our
CBS morning's YouTube channel.
Adam Curry: What was that
John C Dvorak: you tell me I
miss I misunderstood the
assignment. I was going to sit
here and rage about my dad who
left me when I was a kid. Oh no,
and I wanted to thank him for
doing it. What are? What is
wrong with these people at CBS?
Adam Curry: Well, you, you
nailed it. It got taken over by
Apollo. Apollo purchased
paramount. Apollo is Larry
Ellison's kid, and they
immediately cut everything and
threw out the good people. And
they bring in what they think is
entertainment, and they clearly
need some
Unknown: what's an airfoil.
I'm gonna show my spoon by
donation to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do
that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Adam Curry: Yeah. What are you
drinking? I heard you crack one
Topo. Chico. Ah, you'll be
burping throughout the
John C Dvorak: whole burping
within a minute. So
Adam Curry: this is episode 1700
we have a special promotion to
become a Commodore. And a lot of
people go ahead,
John C Dvorak: I was gonna say,
and we should mention that the
next show is 1701 which is the
Star Trek Enterprise number,
yes, I have all kinds. So we
want to continue this Commodore
promotion through that. And you
can become Captain Kirk, or
whatever you want to be a
Commodore. And
Adam Curry: the the actual
certificate for Commodore is
very pretty. It has a seal and a
ribbon and everything. And you
can name yourself whatever
Commodore you want. Some
frameable. It's very frameable.
Someone told me that the Church
of Scientology has Commodores. I
John C Dvorak: didn't know that.
Yeah, but to but I want to tell
people, because there's a guy
who came in, well, you know,
here's what I want to be,
Commodore, this and that. No,
you have to go to the ring site.
No agenda. Rings. Calm. Okay,
that's weird, because Jay says,
Look, I'm not going to take
these different and then
misspell someone's name is you
put it in there. There's a form
to fill out. Yeah, she loves
these forms. Yes, she's a
former. She's a former. And so
not a latter, a former. No,
she's a very so she so go to go
to the website. No agenda rings
I got and fill out your
Commodore form.
Adam Curry: Yes. So we have a
number of Commodores. We have a
number of notes. If you had
missed it, this is the no agenda
show, which runs value for
value. I checked earlier we had
2090 trolls in the in the troll
room, which you're gonna say is
low,
John C Dvorak: not for Thursday.
It's
Adam Curry: good for. Thursday.
Well, you know, that's why there
was so much. 50
John C Dvorak: is the average
for Thursday. Oh, good. We
Adam Curry: got extra trolls
here. That's good. We should
probably, well, we already
counted them. Oh, see, I'm all
I'm all out of whack. Now you
can join them by joining the
troll room@trollroom.io and, of
course, using a modern podcast
app at podcast apps.com you get
alerted when it's time. And this
is all part of my, part of my
award, because I'm an influencer
in podcasting, yeah, how? So we
run it on value for value, and
we love doing these near the end
of the year. This is, this is
actually special, because
episode 1700 our 17th
anniversary is coming up this
month. Four more years, we'll
keep going for you our fifth
presidential cycle, and it's all
value for value, which means you
return to the show, whatever you
get out of it, just send it
back. Any value, any amount. We
always like to read our
executive and Associate
Executive producers. It's $200
and above your Associate
Executive Producer, real title
that you can use anywhere.
Credits are recognized,
including imdb.com, $300 and
above, you become an executive
producer. Before we do that, we
want to thank some of our time
and talent producers, of which
we have many throughout the
years, have done many things,
including that very troll room,
the servers, the
noagendashow.net, no agenda
meetups.com. No agenda.
Artgenerator.com, and we want to
thank our artists for Episode
1699, and that was from Dame
Kenny Benn back on back on the
stick. And she brought us the no
agenda dog flower, which we
thought was very cute, really
funny. And let's see we there
were some other things that that
we will definitely
John C Dvorak: bug things like
to eat more beef from clip
custodian, I wanted to discuss
it to take off on the cow that
says, Eat more beef, and he's
got a sign that he holds up this
to eat more beef is too small.
It's not dispelled enough.
There's issues with it. So
that's that was a rejected, uh,
Adam Curry: although it was in
the running for a moment, for
just a moment, it was discussed
just a moment. Is just a moment.
Uh, food of the future from
Darren O'Neill. I thought comic
strip bloggers, bug on a fork
was funny, but it was obviously
lewd, because the the fork goes
right up his butt.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's not
good. No, that'll end with the P
Diddy stuff.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I guess so.
Food with the future. No, I
think that was kind of it. Dame
Kenny Ben, you took it was good.
No agenda Art Generator, where
you can see all of the artwork
that is submitted. Of course, if
you're using one of those modern
podcast apps, Dr Scott always
uses other pieces for the
chapter art. It's fun. It's fun
to to listen and look along as
those as those images change
right before your very eyes. Now
let us thank our producers. Some
of them, many of them actually
become Commodores. Some nights
we have some title changes, and
we'll start off with Brennan
Keller. And Brennan. Keller is
in Perrysburg, Ohio, $1,005
which is very generous indeed.
ITM gents. I'm a recent listener
of the show. I went down a
rabbit hole after trying to
figure out what the hell Kevin
Rose was doing these days. Okay,
things I don't think of, wait,
we know what. We know what he's
doing,
John C Dvorak: ketamine? Yeah,
he's
Adam Curry: doing ketamine
videos. I watched too much Tech
TV as a kid. I watched the video
where he talking to another old
host of the screensavers, who
brought up the legendary John C
Dvorak, someone I enjoyed
watching after school. Back in
the day, I started searching and
found the greatest podcast in
the universe. This is proof that
John doesn't need to do
interviews to get attention to
the show. That's true. Anyway, I
want to split this contribution
in two, all right, one to earn a
Commodore title myself,
Commodore Brennan of the glass
city, and also for Commodore
Bubba of the Maumee Valley, as
it was his birthday last week,
and this show is now our Oh, and
he was the first person I told
about how awesome the show is,
and now our messages are 90%
about the show. Well, it does
happen. I would love a dedushing
for both of us.
Unknown: You've been deduced
over time
Adam Curry: restraints. You have
to use both of that and baby
making karma for myself. You got
it. No problem.
Unknown: You've got karma.
John C Dvorak: All right, sir
Mike and Dame Becky. Hey, ITM
gents, please accept this
donation. They came in with
$1,000 nice. This donation for
Becky and I to both become
Commodores of Gitmo nation.

listening to no agenda podcast,
the best podcast in the entire
universe. It is now time to give
some value back. Yes, thank you.
I wanted to originally set up an
NA meet up in Wales to get some
Welsh hit in the mouth. No
better place than and then he
has the name of this place,
which is unpronounceable. It's
about 3030, characters, and
mostly
Unknown: classic Welsh
syllables.
Adam Curry: It's Latin affair.
Look a black on angle anglicy,
but almost impossible to
pronounce for Dutch or English
speakers. So langlack didn't
happen, by the way, long means,
parish of the Holy Mary in the
valley of the white Hazel at the
rapid Maelstrom, and the parish
of the Holy tisilio at the red
cave. I'm glad for that
information with my no agenda.
John C Dvorak: So you wonder why
the Welsh language never really
took off. You know
Adam Curry: what my instructor
said in the UK when he was
teaching me how to fly? He said,
Whatever happens, even if your
engine is on fire, you do not
land in Wales with my no agenda.
Commodore. Donation, I will
reach Baron status. And if the
nobility committee pleases, I
want the title Baron, Commodore
of the province of Utrecht, go
to noagenderings.com and enter
it anyways. The barren title of
the province of Utrecht will
cause some skirmish, including
other Knights and Dames in the
province of Utrecht, sir
Hendrix, sir Doris, Dame yaneke
of the wood wall, lower of dirty
lover of dirty jokes and others
who are not mentioned, bring
your blades and have a fight
like no agenda noble do this
will be fought out in a typical
N, A lowlands way during an N, a
meet up with croqueta and bitter
bola. Finally, a shout out to
Dre sir of the empty PayPal.
Yes, he had a bit Ebola. Oh,
bitter bola are like so you know
what a croquette is? Like a
croquette in France? In France,
yeah, it has, like, bait brain
matter on the inside. It's hot,
so a soft ball, yeah, so a
bitter ball is basically little
soft ball. It's a it's a bitter
ball, and it is. It has the same
brain matter as the croquette
only it's in a ball for. More.
So shout out to Dre. Serve the
empty PayPal, strong health
karma from the no no agenda,
lowlands community for Sir Dre
for the roundtable. Friska
hinder and a lowlands Frisian

cast from my home barrel.
John C Dvorak: Okay, bring it

You got some health karma.

Enough public service. I have

And have never missed an

there it is. One of the three

I've adopted a V for VIV model
as part of my reselling
business, and just recently
started a YouTube channel called
real boring flips, ah, house
flipper. I'm new at this and not
great, you get it. It's not that
hard. I'm new at this and not
great, but enjoying it improving
with each episode. I'm asking
any, oh, he's new at the at the
podcasting that way. Yeah,
flipping, yeah. I'm asking
anyone interested to simply
watch my videos where I share
tips and secrets. I've developed
reselling over the past 25

Adam Curry: Todd Moore is in

would say Florida Commodore,
shiproom, 500 Hello, probably
Tavernier. Yeah, you're right.
Hello. My favorite truth
casters. I'm addicted to your
show. Your perfectly miked
voices and the way you utterly
destroy the evil M, 5m
Mockingbird assets into 1000s of
pieces. JCD brought me here with
his grumpy tech humor. But Adam,
you won me over instantly on the
first episode I listened when
you said, I'll never stop using
the word retard. I laugh so
loud, and have listened to every
episode since it's a retard
donation. Anyway, I have a small
ask of you, Adam, would it be
okay if I used AI for something
very important? I want to create
a podcast of you reading the
Bible, the entire Bible. I can't
think of any better voice that
would speak these powerful words
into a modern audio format than
with full podcasting 2.0
compliance. If anyone wants to
team up on launching the Bible
by Adam podcast into reality,
let's chat. I'm on Twitter at at
Todd Moore, T, O, D, D, M, O, O,
R, E. I really like the idea,
because I want to read the Bible
every night, but I'm more of an
audio consumer than a book
reader, and if Adam hates this
idea, then I guess I'll use j,
c, D's voice, because I know
that old grouch will appreciate
the attention. Thanks for your
consideration, and God bless no
agenda. Todd Moore, white noise,
Knight of the Florida Keys and
the no agenda, Commodore send me
a sample. Well, they got to hear
it first. Thank you, Todd.
John C Dvorak: He's got a threat
in there.
Adam Curry: Yes, if I don't like
it, then he's going to use your
voice, which is very Can you
John C Dvorak: imagine, it'll be
probably set Christianity back
100 years. It'll be your fault.

Adam Curry: might come back.

Commodore donation is for my
son, Michael Lumpkins, both of
you, and I don't want to be
neglect to acknowledge that 1000
the 1000s of producers have kept
us sane. Thank you.
Adam Curry: So does this mean
that Michael Lumpkins is on the
credit list for this, or we just
get the Commodore ship? No, I
John C Dvorak: said switcheroo.
It's got to be on the credit
list. He's going to be listed.
Switcheroo. And then he can then
you could go to no agenda
rings.com, and fill out the

completed. Sir, prime doctor of

2012 in Afghanistan, or as we
say, Afghanistan, the two of you
are my one source of media that
seems to always be reaching into
the past, helping me with
working on longer term recall on
air requests. Can we hear Helen
Thomas, about 14 years ago,
telling us the Jew needs to get
out of the Middle East and
return to Europe? I look for it
if we don't have it.
Unknown: Wow, I will.
John C Dvorak: Fall in. Thomas
was an interesting battle
Adam Curry: accident, yeah, and
she died right after that. That
was during the Obama member, I
have to say, remember, I keep
saying member? Remember she was
in front of the the White House
press corps, the old bag, and
then she said that, and then she
got deplatformed, one of the
first people to get de
platformed. And then she died,
like maybe a month or two after
that. It was all very, very
John C Dvorak: odd. That was
very odd. Yes, I
Adam Curry: should have written
in sooner, when the college
protests were still a thing,
maybe an AI Helen Thomas isn't
too far off. Can we play the
recording of John telling us
about firefighters having to
hose each other down? Now we
don't have time for that today,
but I'll put it in a future. End
of show mix. Those are, like,
minute and a half things. Yeah,
they're too long, not as good as
the fisting nut story, but I
don't think it's been played.
We've got a lot of requests for
fisting nuts, and we play it
often. A deducing,
Unknown: you've been deduced,
Adam Curry: and a, let me see,

Adam Curry: Yes, you will say
it. And here we go get

four, hold for episode 1700 It
was held ITM John and Adam.
Kindly hold this donation for of
217, for episode 1700 today, I
wish to advocate for getmo
nation. 17 years is an
impressive run and reflects a
hell of a community by all
involved, I move that you extend
this mutual allegiance for four
more years. Here are some
indisputable facts. One in year
one, no agenda will be old
enough to vote. Oh, in one year,
no agenda will be old enough to
vote. Good point in two years,
no agenda will surpass the
median duration of American
marriages. A lawyer would know.
In three years, no agenda will
outlive King Louis, the fifth of
France. In four years, no agenda
can finally get hammered in
public. To leave these
monumental milestones unachieved
would be to shortchange not only
yourselves, but also the loyal
community you've built. And I
dare say, the world, eventually,
I hope to extend this advocacy
to all Texas and California
producers we help with
litigation and compliance
issues. I also help lawyers
across the USA with appeals and
complex briefs. Check me out at
Rob dot lawyer, yes, that's the
URL. Rob dot lawyer, I'm working
to protect Gitmo nation. I
respectfully request my usual

these sound effects. The most
notable was from a very mad
producer who said, what the f IS
WRONG WITH YOU curry this
whistle and Bell shit pissed me
off beyond Max and then the what
that? What the weird if and F, I
guess you're aware that some
people use in ear headphones.
Can you imagine how effing
annoying it is being on the
Autobahn at 250 miles an hour,
not being able to turn this
painful, annoying stuff off. Fu,
you nearly totaled my ride. I'm
surprised. I'm super pissed.
Sorry, man, wow, I'm very sorry
about that. That was
John C Dvorak: obviously, hold
on a second. He's on the auto
bond and he's got headphones on.
Yeah, he said. And
Adam Curry: he says he's doing
250 miles. Isn't that illegal? I
would I would say,
John C Dvorak: so I know it's
illegal to wear headphones in
California going on as just a
freeway at 65 miles an hour,
Max, let alone, you know the
speeds you get on the autobahn.
He's
Adam Curry: one of those guys
that has his left blinker on
doing probably 250 kilometers an
hour, flashing everybody. Yeah,
get out of my way. I'm listening
to no agenda show. I hate those
guys true to the speakers. So we
got to the official way to do a
Commodore ship is by sounding
the bells, then announcing the
new Commodores, Commodore, ABC,
etc. And after the last one, I'm
supposed to say arriving, and
then play the boat Swain pipe,
yes. So this, well, it says boat
Swain, but I guess, yeah, boats

from Joe Carbone. Says my first
weekly donation was July 17,
2018 I signed up as a romantic
gesture to my then fiance, now
husband, as a way of letting him
know that I didn't think he was
crazy in this insane world. I
guess, yeah, I guess I really
liked him. I've donated $4 a
week for all the 324 weeks since
then meeting my cumulative
donation is now 12 196 it works,
people, you can do it. I'm
prepared to be knighted Dame
darling of the ethereal realms.

love how you guys think and
approach the world. And couldn't
be prouder to be a lady of the

Oh, and this is my husband's
birthday today, sir Dave of

an ISO. I have three. You got

a little long, I think, yeah,
here's this. It's
Unknown: all about the

weird, right?
John C Dvorak: I don't like

Unknown: moly, a great show. Oh,
I
Adam Curry: like that one a lot.
That's piercing. Very good, very
good. And
John C Dvorak: then this good is
it always this good?
Adam Curry: Ooh, boo. Well,
first of all, mine is out.
Unknown: Gosh,
Adam Curry: which one do you
like? It. They're both really
good.
John C Dvorak: I think the Holy
Moly might be good.
Unknown: Holy moly a great show.
Yeah, I think
Adam Curry: you're right. And
now, ladies and gentlemen, time
once again, 1700 episodes of the
tip of
John C Dvorak: the day. These
are tips so they're short and
sweet. And this is another
foodie tip, foodie tip. So if
you buy, I buy these hot chilies
from the Hmong at the farmer's
market, usually on Saturday, and
they have various heat but the
Thai chilies, which they like to
grow and cross breed with all
kinds of other chilies. These
Thai chilies, if anyone's had
them, they're small and they're
thin skinned, as opposed to a a
meaty chili, like, let's say, a
jalapeno, which is a very meaty,
a lot of very meaty, meaty,
meaty, meaty and there and even
the eye to me, the serenio
peppers also mean these little,
these little thin. And skin Thai
chilies. You can buy them
whatever you pray for them.
You're always paying. You know,
they're pretty expensive, but
generally speaking, without
exception, they will keep in the
freezer for decades. You freeze
them and they're good forever.
Adam Curry: Have you tested this
yourself.
John C Dvorak: Oh yeah, I've got
some from five years ago. Okay,
Adam Curry: I want you to eat
one on the on the next show. I
want to hear how you
John C Dvorak: know, you put
throw them in sauce or
something. You
Unknown: don't eat these things.
Okay?
Adam Curry: For decades. So in
like 10 years, Tina, be like,
what's this? What is this thing
here?
Unknown: Okay,
Adam Curry: there you go.
Another two guys. Yes, show us
your tips. That's right, just
the tips, everybody. And that
concludes our broadcast day.
Thank you very much.
Congratulations to our

Texas Hill Country, for the 17
100th time in the morning,
everybody, I'm Adam curry, and

John C Dvorak: Northern Silicon
Valley, where it's boiling hot.

meetups. A hooey, hooey and
such. You.
Oh yeah, bowl after bowl is
coming up next on the stream,
forgot to mention,
Unknown: and now it's time to
play what's that smell
with your host, Frank
Bag: Bolton, what does a monkey
taint smell like? What's
Unknown: that smell? Let's
dive in.
I'll preach anything that moves
Bag: just straight to the monkey
taint. And
Unknown: let's start the
smelling.
Bag: Are we talking about
something acrid, musky, sweet,
putrid?
Adam Curry: And right on cue,
Unknown: we'll start the aroma,
smelling with
Bag: biological factors, Adam,
Adam Curry: the lesbians,
Bag: urgent, got this word
Adam Curry: money has been
transferred to a cartel to push
this over the border. Good
point. The next target for
assassination. Monkeys
Bag: have their own version of
perfume, and we humans are just
clueless.
John C Dvorak: Do a little meta
on this. Yeah, please.
Unknown: You pick up your
blue velvet, which has been
soaked in celebrity sweat.
Douche: What does a monkey taste
smell like the whole kit and
caboodle? He
John C Dvorak: said, Yeah. It
sucks.
Bag: Cultural perceptions of
smell.
John C Dvorak: Anyone can do
these. I mean, just
Adam Curry: sending out a
dangerous product to inject to
the American people and the rest
of the world. They don't
Unknown: care. Okay, so
Bag: we've talked a bit about
the biological side, but we
still haven't nailed down what
that monkey taint actually
smells like.
Adam Curry: What does monkey
taint smell
Unknown: like?
Bag: It's a question about a
smell
John C Dvorak: says, oh, that's
the greatest. And the rest of it
is all shows, all theater,
fireworks.
Unknown: So I've become friends
with school shooters. I've seen
it look the NRA. I was the NRA
guy for a long time. They used
to teach gun safety, common
sense wisdom. So
I was in Hong Kong and China
during the democracy protests.
Went in, and from that I learned
a lot. Just
got to get back to common sense,
economic principles. So
those of you out there listening
tonight, you're hearing a lot of
stuff back and forth, and it's
good, it's healthy. That's what
this is supposed to happen. You
should be listening. How is this
going to impact me? I
was raised in a working class
family. Now, look,
my community knows who I am.
Let's just say that's true, just
for the sake of argument. So
we're not arguing about Weird
Science. Let's just say that's
true. From Bernie Sanders to
Dick Cheney to Taylor Swift and
a whole bunch of folks in
between to have the
endorsement of Bobby Kennedy Jr
and Tulsi Gabbard. I've
tried to do the best I can, but
I've not been perfect, and I'm a
knucklehead at times, but it's
always been about that.
I grew up in a working class
family in a neighborhood where I
knew a lot of young women. I
don't think
we could be the frog in the frog
in the pot and let the boiling
water go up. We
just got to get back to common
sense, economic principle. Let's
be clear where we're at on this.
It's because we got out of an
imbalance on this. You've got to
play Whack a Mole. This thing
roared onto the scene faster and
stronger than anything we've
seen. My community knows who I
am. They saw where I was at.
Look, I will be the first to
tell you I have poured my heart
into my community. Gun violence
is now the number one cause of
the
death of children in America. So
I've become friends with school
shooters, not car
accidents, not cancer. Gun
violence the number one cause of
death for the
children of America. So I've
become friends with school
shooters, and
this is the result of many, many
issues, including mass shootings
and school shootings that are
too frequently occurring in our
nation.
Poured my heart into my
community. So
I've become friends with school
shooters.
Poured my heart into my
community. I've
become friends with school
shooters, and I believe we need
to reinstate the assault weapons
ban.
And universal background
checks, vorac.org/n,
a holy moly, a great show you.
