John C Dvorak: Well, you do the
way I say it away. The
government coming in.
Unknown: Adam curry. John C
Dvorak, Thursday,
Adam Curry: October 17, 2024
this your award winning gimbal
nation. Media assassination
episode 1704,
Unknown: this is no agenda,
celebrating
Adam Curry: six weeks in friend
and broadcasting live from the
heart of the Texas Hill Country,
right here in FEMA Region,
number six in the morning.
Everybody. I'm Adam curry,
John C Dvorak: and from Northern
Silicon Valley, where we've
noticed that for the first time
in eight years, they've brought
out the b2 bombers to bomb the
crap out of Yemen. I'm John C
Dvorak. It's crack
Unknown: bottom buzzkill in the
morning.
Adam Curry: Well, speaking of
bombs,
John C Dvorak: did you read that
in the main street? Was that on
CBS News?
Adam Curry: No, I got it from
dude named Muhammad, like you
did, I think.
John C Dvorak: No, I got it from
the defense one newsletter. I
mean, we're bombing the crap out
of the the Houthis. Yeah, this
isn't the top of the news.
Adam Curry: I got here. Dude
note, dude named Mohammed, who
is our boots on the ground in
the region. Yeah, we have a
couple of them. ITM gents,
Operation New Order is
progressing well. Yahya senoa is
dead. The backup of the backup
leader Hezbollah is dead, and
American B twos are bombing the
Houthis almost there before
November, so Trump can finish it
up with a phone call. Thank you
for your courage. Dude named
Muhammad, he's
John C Dvorak: got the right
eye. He does off with a phone
call, yeah, say before you
Adam Curry: continue, we had a
six week cycle moment here in
Fredericksburg this morning. Oh,
in Fredericks, yes, at 10am the
Gillespie County Sheriff office
deputies conducted a search and
inventory of a U haul box truck
at the impound lot. They had
apparently arrested some dude
who was driving through
Fredericksburg from Washington
state. At that time, the San
Antonio Police Department bomb
squad was notified, Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms,
explosives and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation all
showed up, and the search and
inventory of the U haul stemmed
from an arrest that occurred on
Friday. The person driving the U
haul was wanted out of
Washington for the theft over
$400,000 worth of coins and
precious metals, which were
located in the U haul, along
with several explosive devices
John C Dvorak: that were going
to blow up the goods that
Adam Curry: were removed from
the U haul, a few were detonated
within the safety zone here in
Fredericksburg. They detonated
him over by the Walmart. So this
doesn't, doesn't this have,
we're gonna blow
John C Dvorak: these things up.
Bill, over by the Walmart. Now
get some attention. We'll get
some news coverage.
Adam Curry: Doesn't this have
all the hallmarks of some it
does weak, weak brother, who
they just said, All right, man,
you take this and they had,
let's say, what else did they
find? Numerous ammo cans of
ammunition, a handgun and body
armor. This guy was ready. He
was ready. Yeah, woo. It's
great.
John C Dvorak: Well, that's
probably a better news story
than I. Let me just go back to
the b2 thing, yeah, in the same
newsletter. I want to read this
because I didn't see this on
CBS. Oh, I can't have that. I
didn't see Nora talking about
this. Listen to this, Raytheon.
You heard anything about
Raytheon?
Adam Curry: I've heard of them.
I hear their stock is up
John C Dvorak: to pay nearly $1
billion for defrauding the DOD.
Oh, what? Yeah, allegedly
bribing Qatari official, the
company took in more than 111
million more than it was owed.
Wow, during two set two, two,
not one, two separate schemes in
connection with the Patriot
missile systems and a radar
system goes on Raytheon.
Raytheon official said the
company is taking, we're taking
responsibility for the
misconduct, but, but it, but it
occurred. Listen to this quote,
largely prior to 2020. Oh, large
Trump,
Adam Curry: Trump. This is
someone getting back at Trump
for that taken $1.7 billion off
of Air Force. One
John C Dvorak: rewind, yeah. In
August, Raytheon was fined 200
million for the on our
unauthorized export of defense
technology to China, Russia,
Iran and elsewhere. There
Adam Curry: you go.
John C Dvorak: How come this?
Isn't it like running right at
this would be the top of the
news instead of, you know, these
various interviews of Kamala?
No,
Adam Curry: instead, we have to
go to the lie of the day, the
lie of the day. We play first
the lie of the day as going
viral and what everybody is
responding to in. Including your
vice president. And then we
shall play it in context,
because this actually comes from
Sunday, and I played a few
clips. I didn't even realize
that they could turn this into
another very fine people hoax.
But here it is the viral clip.
Unknown: I think the bigger
problem is the enemy from
within, not even the people that
have come in and destroying our
country, by the way, totally
destroying our country, the
towns, the villages, are being
inundated. Villages. I don't
think they're the problem in
terms of Election Day. I think
the bigger problem are the
people from within. We have some
very bad people. We have some
sick people, radical left
lunatics. And I think they're
the and it should be very easily
handled by, if necessary, by
National Guard, or if really
necessary, by the military. So
Adam Curry: that was, and we'll
get to this later. Taken that
Trump is going to seek the
military. On you, on you. On you
people, on journalists, on
people he doesn't like,
political enemies. Oh, now let's
John C Dvorak: that's a good
one.
Adam Curry: Only women only do
that. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: women, women do
it well, you know, all right, so
Adam Curry: now we will play
this in context, as discussed on
Maria bartiromos Sunday morning
futures,
Unknown: everyone all over the
world, the Congo in Africa,
we've taken in hundreds of
people from their prisons the
Congo all the way in Africa,
many, many countries, the Middle
East, we're taking in massive
numbers of people and many
terrorists, and they're coming
into our country, and they're
Middle Eastern terrorists. And
from Asia we're taking in, and a
lot from South America. It was
an Afghan refugee charged with
plotting us Election Day
Massacre.
Nothing surprises me.
What about that? Though, are you
expecting chaos on election day?
No thanks. Not from the side
that votes for Trump. But I'm
just wondering if these outside
agitators will start up on
election day. Let's say you win.
I mean, let's not, let's let's
remember, you've got 50,000
Chinese nationals in this
country in the last couple of
years, the people on the
terrorist watch list, 350 in the
last couple of years. Like you
said, 13,000 murderers and
15,000 rapists. What are you
expecting? Joe Biden said he
doesn't think it's going to be a
peaceful election day? Well, he
doesn't have any idea what's
happening in Rome, as he spends
most of his day sleeping. I
think the bigger problem is the
enemy from within, not even the
people that have come in and
destroying our country, by the
way, totally destroying our
country, the towns, the
villages, are being inundated.
But I don't think they're the
problem in terms of Election
Day. I think the bigger problem
are the people from within. We
have some very bad people. We
have some sick people, radical
left lunatics. And I think
they're the and it should be
very easily handled by if
necessary, by National Guard, or
if really necessary by the
military, because they can't let
that happen.
Adam Curry: So what Trump is
saying here, and it doesn't take
a genius to figure it out, is
Biden has said Election day is
not going to be not going to be
calm. Trump says, well, we
should bring in the National
Guard if it's not calm, but that
would be from the sick people
who we expect will pro if Trump
wins, we'll probably go rioting
and doing stuff like Black Lives
Matter. It was very obvious.
What he was saying. Was it
obvious to you?
John C Dvorak: If you hear it in
context, it's obvious, but
that's not what they're playing.
Adam Curry: So I think this, and
I'll just play this clip, and
then I'll let you
John C Dvorak: go, because I
like the idea, by the way I get,
I'll give you this. I like the
idea of equating this with the
very fine people hoax, because
they knew these hoaxes to make
things work. And
Adam Curry: so I think this was,
well, we'll talk about it. But
this was probably the
John C Dvorak: way, fortunately,
Kamala, Kamala Kamala, she can't
use it as saying the only reason
I ran is because the very fine
people,
Adam Curry: no, but I think this
was the only reason she showed
up on Brett bear for this. This
would seem like a sadistic
ritual against her by her own
team to make her do this and and
this
John C Dvorak: is how I have
thoughts on this interview. So
Adam Curry: I'll play this from
CNN, Aaron and and this is
pertains to the this new hoax.
At
Unknown: one point, Harris
visibly angry, she was railing
against Trump and his threat to
target what He has called the
enemy from within.
He's the one who talks about an
enemy within within, an enemy
within, talking about the
American people, suggesting he
would turn the American military
on the American people.
Adam Curry: We asked just for
context, he will not be
president on election day. So he
is literally saying, well, the
Biden administration should.
Clean this up with the National
Guard. He won't even have the
power to do that on election
day.
John C Dvorak: Good point people
Unknown: suggesting he would
turn the American military on
the American people.
We asked that question to the
former president today, Harris
Faulkner had a town hall, and
this is how he responded. I
heard
about that. They were saying I
was like threatening. I'm not
threatening anybody. They're the
ones doing the threatening. They
do phony investigations. I've
been investigated more than
Alphonse Capone. He was the
greatest weaponization of
government is terrible, so
I'm sorry, and with all due
respect, that clip was not what
he has been saying about the
enemy within, that He has
repeated when he's speaking
about the American people.
That's not what you just showed
he was asking. That's not what
you just showed, in all fairness
and respect to you question that
we asked, he didn't show that.
And here's the bottom line, He
has repeated it many times. And
you and I both know that, and
you and I both know that he has
talked about turning the
American military on the
American people. He has talked
about going after people who are
engaged in peaceful protest. He
has talked about locking people
up because they disagree with
him. This is a democracy, and in
a democracy, the President of
the United States, in the United
States of America, should be
willing to be able to handle
criticism without saying he'd
lock people up for doing it. And
this is what is at stake. Well,
Adam Curry: this is what is at
stake. I just have to play this
45 seconds from Tim waltz,
because he really drove home the
message that they're trying to
convey. This is a must win state
for Kamala Harris to take the
White House. Chief Political
Reporter Jason Zimmerman was at
the event and two unexpected
stops after walls arrived in the
area five plane all right, comes
walls. Well, hello
Unknown: Green Bay. Good to see
you. All
greeting hundreds of supporters
inside the Ki Convention Center
in Green Bay. Vice Presidential
candidate Tim Walz, standing
alongside fellow Democrats,
including the governors of
Wisconsin and Michigan, making
the case for not allowing Donald
Trump
to return to the White House.
John C Dvorak: Yesterday, he
Unknown: went on Fox News.
That's a safe place for him. He
went on there, and he suggested
that he is going to send the
military against the enemy from
within. Now I want you to think
about it. In other words,
Americans, just to be clear, if
any of your neighbors or friends
or anybody thinks about that,
you know he's talking about he's
talking about you before the
event
Adam Curry: and the news media
played along with this
completely,
Unknown: oh, just all the
Adam Curry: All, all, all in now
no agenda. We don't we're not
here to participate in the
culture war agenda. We are here
to serve you to deconstruct your
world to the best of our God
given ability, and we will do
that today once again. So this
interview made no sense to me.
Why would she do this?
John C Dvorak: Well, I thought
it was a bad interview. People
the fox side. Well, it wasn't a
bad interview. I thought it was
a bad interview from Bear's
perspective. Oh, interesting. I
thought she steamrolled him. She
brought in her normal In fact, I
want to play this pre clip. This
was this woman, darmet Dillon,
that was on Tucker Carlson, oh,
yes, no,
Adam Curry: Harmeet. It's
Harmeet. Harmeet. She's a
lawyer, and I think,
John C Dvorak: yeah, she's a
Lauren, she worked with Kamala
in the city, I guess. And she's
Adam Curry: because she's a
Republican, isn't she? I think
she ran, she ran to be or she
vieds to be the chair of the
orange she
John C Dvorak: was in and around
Kamala circles, okay, but, but
this is the part that I thought
was interesting. There's two
things in here. One was the
pronunciation of her name. They
talk about that, and then they
talk about, I think the most
significant thing, which is what
rubs people the wrong way about
camelo, which is the fact that
she's a Brahmin during
Unknown: this period, how does
she pronounce her first name?
And I ask, because she's on
video, pronouncing it Kamala and
kamela two different ways.
Carmela,
so I remember her putting the
emphasis on the second syllable.
So it was like, Kamala. Kamala.
Kamala was how she pronounced
it. Kamala, not Kamala. Kamala
is actually how Indian Indians
pronounce it. The name derives
from the word for Lotus and
Sanskrit, which is Komal. So,
yeah, so you know that that is
how you're supposed to
conventional name. It's a, it's
a conventional name, absolutely.
And it's a, it's a, it's a
Brahmin. She's a, she's from a
Brahmin family. Her mother is
Brahman, and so, you know, high
caste background. I
thought she was oppressed. I.
Yeah, she's a shapeshifter, like
I said. So although, you know, I
saw an explanation in one of
these liberal publications
trying to explain how throughout
the most of her career, she's
passed as African American and
not mixed race, because, of
course, not until Tiger Woods
became prominent did people
parse out their differences in
their racial background. So, you
know, it was, it was suggested
that she had to pick one or the
other early in her career, and
she's largely identified as
African American. And so she
really focused on the African
American community in San
Francisco, she identified as she
lived in a black neighborhood.
Did she live in Hunters Point,
uh, she did not live in Hunters
Point, yeah. Now she, she lived
in a nice condo South of Market,
in the Middle Park area, right?
Yeah, absolutely. She was,
quote, focused on the F. She was
focused on the African American
community.
Adam Curry: Brahmin, there you
go from a
John C Dvorak: yes, I listened
to the show. They're
responsible. Brahmins, I will
say, yes, we've talked about
this. I think
Adam Curry: so they have not
denounced her.
John C Dvorak: I don't think
brahmans can do that. I would
like to know what is, because
this arrogance that she
portrays, this kind of uh oh,
let me talk. And I mean, this
look on her face, the whole way
she acts, is extremely Brahman.
My son,
Adam Curry: I like this. I don't
I mean, you're the Brahmin
expert, the brexpert.
John C Dvorak: Well, we have a
lot of Brahmins in the area, and
they're in high tech. They
dominate. I did well, I'd say
they dominate. At least sections
Adam Curry: of high tech is such
a Nadella, a Brahmin. Oh,
absolutely. And who's the guy
from Google the what's his name?
Oh, for sure. Okay, Brahmins
John C Dvorak: and I said that
he had, they exude a certain
arrogance. We have, the
brahmans, we have have the same
arrogance. And they, they're
proud of themselves. It's a
caste system in India, and
they're the top of the cast. The
ones that we have are extremely
irresponsible, because they,
they do not have the they kind
of ignore the what's called the
Noblesse oblige. I think it was
called, it's the responsibility
of these classes to, like, for
example, donate to the show,
Adam Curry: hello. Oh, I did it
already.
John C Dvorak: Oh, you did
that's good already? Yeah, I'm
Adam Curry: already on the
races. Hello, doing it. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: So my son, who
works with a lot of Brahmins,
says that they have their
responsibility if we don't have
Indian donors. He believes is
because the Brahmins don't
donate to the show in any
reason, in any real way that
they're obligated to do because
by their cast, because they're
the ones who lead the way to
other Brahmins and so and so,
since they don't help us at all,
basically, except occasionally
we can, you can go on about them
in such a way that's probably
not complimentary, and I think
that Kamala Harris with her
really sits there arrogantly.
She's a bad Brom lectures
people. Is from this culture.
It's not from her being black,
no. And I think it rubs people
the wrong way. And what we don't
need in this country to any
extreme is a Brahmin President
of the United States. There you
go. Not a class structured
system. And I think it, I think
she rubs people the wrong way. I
don't care how much money she
spends it. I don't even know how
much corruption they can throw
at it, but I don't think that
that she can get in because of
that.
Adam Curry: No, there's a No,
she's not going to be president.
No way. So,
John C Dvorak: so, so Brett bear
does a, uh, interview with her.
That sucked, by the way, and
even though the fox side. So
Brett asked a follow up
question. He didn't get
anywhere. I
Adam Curry: saw that afterwards,
you know? Oh, yes, Brett, I
think you you really you were
good at steering it back, and
you were really good. Oh, this
is a good, good job, Brett. Good
job, by the way. Brett's kind of
got a wide load there. You don't
see him normally because he's
behind the desk. Yeah, well,
he's a big guy. He's a big guy,
yeah,
John C Dvorak: but he is not an
interviewer to any ex to an
extreme, as I would say, is I
wouldn't call him a good
interviewer, and he let her kind
of dominate the conversation and
give him the old, well, I'm
talking, you know, let me finish
going on and on. He could when
she says, Let me finish my he
said, Well, you're not answering
the question. I'd let you what
he should say, stuff like, stuff
like, I'd let you finish if you
were answering the question.
It's a simple question, right,
right? But he never did any of
that, and he let her ramble. She
went on and on and on, and I
have a couple of can
Adam Curry: I just make a
suggestion that that people like
Brett, bear and Fox in general,
that they feel they have to be
somewhat cautious? Just in case
she wins, so they still have
access.
John C Dvorak: I don't believe
that's true. No,
Adam Curry: okay, that was,
that's what I thought. I
thought.
John C Dvorak: I don't think
that's true, okay? I think
they're just not that good. No,
Adam Curry: nobody watches these
shows anymore.
John C Dvorak: Well, everybody's
watching. That's a whole
different topic of conversation.
Everybody's agree. Everybody's
Adam Curry: watching the golden
bachelor. Hello, Oh, I did it
again. Oh no,
John C Dvorak: I gotta stop Yes,
okay,
Adam Curry: I'm gonna stop it
now. All right, from this moment
on, I'm stopping it. Here we go.
All right, here we go. Hello.
Nope, you're not going to get it
from me. Nope. I'm done. I'm
done with it. I'm done. Okay,
I'm disgusted with myself. Now,
John C Dvorak: let's start with
a summary that NPR gave of the
Harris bear. This Harris bear
summary, NPR this is what they
thought of the of the thing. And
NPR and a bunch of I there's a
bunch of tiktokers and everybody
in between saying, Oh, she
cleaned his clock. You know,
she's she won.
Adam Curry: Let's listen to the
elitist voices, elitist
Unknown: voices of America. This
is NPR
or PBS Democrat Kamala Harris
took questions on immigration,
transgender rights in the
economy in a wide ranging
interview conducted by Fox News
host Bret Baier, the Vice
President, pushing back on
charges she's flip flopped in
terms of her positions, Harris
saying, my presidency will not
be a continuation of Joe Biden's
presidency if she wins the White
House in November and asked
about comments she's made about
supporters of GOP rival Donald
Trump, Harris, Bristol. If
you listen to Donald Trump, if
you watch any of his rallies,
he's the one who tends to demean
and belittle and diminish the
American people. He's the one
who talks about an enemy within,
within, an enemy within talking
about the American people,
suggesting he would turn the
American military on the
American people,
speaking at a rally earlier
today in Pennsylvania,
surrounded by more than 100
Republicans who now say they'll
vote for her over Trump Harris,
again, called Trump unstable and
unhinged.
Adam Curry: I think I really,
since everyone had you,
John C Dvorak: don't you think
that was the most slanted report
you've ever heard, and it backed
up your thesis about the media
going along with this. You know,
the military attacking the
American public. That's
Adam Curry: why she was there.
That was the only thing she had
to launch in some desperation
move outside of what I just
thought was a satanic ritual by
her team on her why? Why? Why
you don't need to go on break.
John C Dvorak: You're I think
what you're saying is self
contradictory.
Adam Curry: Oh,
John C Dvorak: well, you're
saying that she went there to
get launched this at work, the
media picked it up, CBS. I have
CBS clips saying the same thing.
They're on her side. And you
just heard NPR going on about
Trump being unhinged. It was a
huge success. How? You know,
maybe, okay,
Adam Curry: okay, now I'll give
you that. I'll give you that,
but it was still a satanic
ritual
John C Dvorak: that was, well,
everything that they do is a
Satanic Thank you. Redundant.
All right, I'll stop saying it.
We agree. Here's a couple of
here's another one. This is a
Tiktok analysis. Is it Harris,
bear talker analysis? This is
somebody who also watched it and
came away funny.
Unknown: Okay, so the interview
with Fox News, Brett, somebody
or other and Kamala Harris just
ended, and here's the
assessment. What? Wasn't
actually an interview? Uh, this
Brett guy spent the entire time
talking over Kamala Harris, my
hope is misogynist, that
mansplaining the the the level
at which he was interrupting
her, refusing to allow her to
speak, talking over her, running
right over her, with his list of
all of his questions, his queued
up video clips. Basically, he
was using the 25 minutes to
indict Kamala Harris on behalf
of the viewing audience. Every
single question he spent about
15 minutes talking about
immigration and would not let
her speak, then switched over to
the use of public money for
gender reassignment in prisons,
and then the rest of it was oh,
72% for this or for that, and
why is that? And how come half
of America, you know, wants
Donald Trump?
Adam Curry: Oh, I can completely
see how someone would view it
that way. That doesn't surprise
me at all, right?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, in fact.
And these, these things, I think
everyone's mind has been made up
for a while. Yeah, just dicing
on the cake. Yeah. But let's
listen. I have two clips from
the from the interview that are
kind of okay, but then I have a
clip from a different interview
that is the direction that bear
should have gone be and I'll
tell you play these two
interviews, and I'll give you
some analysis of what Gutfeld
and others felt, because they
were all jacked up that this was
great. Oh,
Adam Curry: what's good? I mean.
And so just what I heard right
away, oh, oh, the four staffers
would have telling them to wrap
it up, to wrap it up, to wrap it
up for staffers. Four staffers.
That is the Republican side of
the response.
John C Dvorak: Let's start with
hair. Harris, bear last
unstable.
Unknown: He's unstable. Stable.
He is unstable.
He's not well. You say he's
mentally not stable.
He's not let me ask you this.
You told many interviewers that
Joe Biden was on his game that
ran around circles on his staff.
When did you first notice that
President Biden's mental
faculties appeared diminished?
Joe Biden, I had watched in from
the Oval Office to the situation
room, and he has the judgment
and the experiment and
experience to do exactly what he
has done in making very
important decisions on behalf of
the American people. Joe Biden
is not on ballot. Understand
Donald Trump. Donald,
Adam Curry: she should have
answered with that. She should
have started with that. Joe
Biden, she
John C Dvorak: would she dreamed
that up in the middle of her
thought process. She actually
had a thought process here, and
she came up with that because
she this caught her off guard.
You could tell she was stunned,
yeah, by the question, because
this is nothing that she's been
addressing. Now, wait,
Adam Curry: let me finish the
clip. It's your clip. I'm sorry.
I just I wanted to say she
should have started with that
like Joe Biden is not on the
ballot.
John C Dvorak: Understand,
Donald Trump.
Unknown: Donald Trump, Donald
Trump, Donald Trump and Donald
George Clooney said
within a few minutes of talking
to President Biden fundraiser
that he thought this was not the
same Joe Biden that we saw on
the debate
stage is on the ballot. You met
with him at least once a week
for three and a half years. You
didn't have any concerns.
I think the American people have
a concern about Donald Trump,
which is why the people who know
him best try, including leaders
of our national security
community, have all spoken out,
even people who worked for him
in the Oval Office, worked with
him in the Situation Room, and
have said he is unfit and
dangerous and should never be
President of the United States
again, including his former vice
president, which is why the job
was open for him to choose
another running mate. So that is
a fact. That is a fact.
Adam Curry: It this. So I think
you're right that this was
really an interview to seed the
M 5m with all kinds of facts
that she used. And of course, we
know which one stuck, but
that's, I mean, it was all every
answer was about Trump, which is
what, what she's been doing at
her rallies and everything,
pretty much,
John C Dvorak: yes, and here and
here's the second clip I pulled
from this thing. This is the
parish bear, the Trump trans ad.
This plays the trans ad for her.
Unknown: This particular one
from the Trump campaign has
gotten a lot of attention.
Kamala supports taxpayer funded
sex changes for prisoners,
surgery
for prisoners, for prisoners,
every transgender inmate in the
prison system would have access.
So are you still in support of
using taxpayer dollars to help
prison inmates or detained
illegal aliens to transition to
another gender,
I will follow the law. And it's
a law that Donald Trump actually
followed. You're probably
familiar with now. It's a public
report that under Donald Trump's
administration, these surgeries
were available to on a medical
necessity basis, to people in
the federal prison system. And I
think, frankly, that ad from the
Trump campaign is a little bit
of like throwing, you know,
stones when you live in a glass
house. The
Trump aides say that he never
advocated for that prison policy
and no gender transition, no
surgeries happened in this
pregnancy. Would you still
advocate for using taxpayer
dollars for gender reassignment?
I
will follow the law. He did.
You would have a say as
president like I
said, I think it's really he
spent $20 million on those ads
trying to create a sense of fear
in the voters, because he
actually. Has no plan in this
election that is about focusing
on the needs of the American
people, whereas at $20 million
on that ad on an issue that as
it relates to the biggest issues
that affect the American people,
is really quite remote.
Adam Curry: I bet you the people
at Fox are going, when are you
spending your 1 billion? Kamala,
you got a billion dollars. He
spent 20 million on that ad.
Well, the
John C Dvorak: way she says that
he could have called her out on
ads don't cost $20 million
Adam Curry: I think she meant
the ad buy, but that's not what
she said. No, okay,
John C Dvorak: he could call her
out on all the stuff that she
says is not what she meant. Oh,
that's what I mean. Wait a
minute.
Adam Curry: Wait now you're
disappointed somehow. And Brett
bear,
John C Dvorak: I've been very
whole thing was like this, and
here's what I finally concluded,
because it seems as if what they
did was listen to her speeches
over and over and decided to
grill her on stuff that she
already had rehearsed. And so
her rehearsed lines came out,
and they would talk about this
dream. Gutfield talked about how
good triggers, sorry, a good
Adam Curry: trigger. Good way to
get her to say what you want is
just trigger her with the stuff
she's rehearsed.
John C Dvorak: Yes, but that's
all she did. Was she just said
that the same rehearsed
material. And once in a while,
she'd go they rarely, and she
did come up with some good
stuff, like Trump's not heard
Biden's not on the ballot when
he could have countered that, by
the way, when she says, Well,
Biden's not on the ballot, he
says, I'm not talking about
who's on the bet. He should have
said, I'm not talking about
who's on the ballot again,
Adam Curry: John. I mean, let's
not be disappointed in the in
the in the mainstream media.
This is what they do. They suck.
I'm
John C Dvorak: deciding, Fox, it
could be done better, is what
I'm saying, of course, of
course. Now, so let's go to and
what he should have done,
instead of going along with the
program and looking at what she
already said and then asking her
about what she'd already said,
that she already had rehearsed,
which made for a boring back and
forth. It was terrible that no
matter what anyone thinks that
Brett, Bill Brett, bear, oh,
Fox. You went to Fox. Blah,
blah, blah on a podcast that I
want to play this clip. This is
Harris with Soledad O'Brien. Oh,
they we know Soledad. We know
Soledad. We know so he's like,
now here's what Brett should
have done, what Soledad did,
which is ask off the wall
questions and let her go off.
This is an unbelievable clip.
This is a classic, and he could
have done that instead of it was
almost as though his plan, let's
ask her questions that she has
she has already rehearsed and
the answer to a million times.
Let's go ask those questions
again. Let's ask the same
questions, which he fact did,
the same questions that were
asked on 60 minutes about, you
know, how many people came
across the border? No, no, no.
He should have done what Soledad
simply did, which is, let her
ramble about stuff that just off
the wall. Listen to this is
agreeing
Unknown: to voter ID, one
of those compromises that you
support. I
don't think that we should
underestimate what that could
mean, because in some people's
mind, that means, well, you're
going to have to Xerox or
photocopy your ID to send it in
to prove who you are, who you
are? Well, there are a whole lot
of people, especially people who
live in rural communities, who
don't there's no Kinkos, there's
no Office Max near them. People
have to understand that when
we're talking about voter ID
laws, be clear about who you
have in mind and what would be
required of them to prove who
they are. Of course, people have
to prove who they are, but not
in a way that makes it them,
almost impossible for them to
prove who they
Adam Curry: are. You know, we're
so used to her. I mean, here
I'll give you, let me give you
example of, you know, she was on
Charlemagne the God, and
Charlemagne brought in, brought
in a reverend, and she's like,
Oh, I grew up in the black
church. I grew up in the black
church in Canada. I grew up in
the black church. Oh, yeah,
Canada, right, yeah. I grew up
in the black church, black
church. Oh, it's the it's right
near you, the 23rd Avenue Church
of God in in Oakland. Yeah. And
so she, she went to the black
church because that's what you
do when you're black. We all
know that. You know, whenever
you're in trouble, you go to the
church. And here's what she
said, because what
Unknown: we see is so hard to
see that we lose faith or a
vision of those things we cannot
see. But must know, amen
Adam Curry: sister, she's vapid.
John C Dvorak: Yes, and that the
Soledad question, which was
just, what do you think about
voter ID? And she goes off about
Kinkos, and you have to mail in.
Where do you have to mail in a
photocopy of anything? And it's
just like, What are you talking
about? Is the. Way, if Brett
bear, if they had a clue at Fox,
which you, I mean, you have to
go along with your theory on
this, which they're just really
a bunch of Democrats in
disguise, yeah, and they're not
going to do anything that's
that's aggressive, as opposed to
Soledad, who's just, you know,
kind of asking Rando questions
and letting her talk. Yeah. It's
like, you know, she could, she's
just gonna dig herself a hole,
as opposed to what she's already
used to talking about. This Bret
bear interview was a disaster.
Adam Curry: I'm glad you got
that off your chest. I mean, and
I agree with you, I was just
okay. I didn't understand why it
was done, you know, other than
to give the mainstream media
some fuel to say Trump is going
to come after you and, oh, he
John C Dvorak: also says that,
oh, I have the guts to go on
Fox. I think there was an
element of that because, you
know, well, you know, they get
Trump's been doing this and
that, so now, oh, I went on Fox.
Okay, well, that's out of the
way. Checkbox.
Adam Curry: Did you hear by any
chance, Carville?
John C Dvorak: Not? Well, I
heard him last week. Oh
Adam Curry: no, no. You have to
hear Carville on the the new
very fine people hoax on the
enemy from went from within, and
he's on Psaki show, who's
sitting there like she just
dumped a turd in her Pampers.
John C Dvorak: When do? What day
was this?
Adam Curry: This? It might have,
I don't, I don't have the date,
but it's after the after this
interview. So it's in the last
few the bear interview. No, no,
before the bear interview, after
the Bartiromo. The money on the
interview, okay? Because it's
about the about the enemy from
within, and why anyone lets
Carvel on the air anymore is, is
a riddle. It's a mystery to me.
Does he have any political
clout? Is he important anymore?
He
John C Dvorak: doesn't work for
anybody. He just comes on as a
kind of a loose cannon. I think
that's why they bring him on for
entertainment purposes. Well, he
Adam Curry: takes it to a whole
new level. Now, mind you, on the
Maria interview, right after the
enemy from within, she says,
hey, you've booked Madison
Square Garden. And he's like,
oh, yeah, yeah, we're gonna have
a good time in Madison Square
Garden. I always wanted to play
Madison Square Garden. Madison
Square Garden. Now listen to
Carville. I
Unknown: did not realize when I
said that, that he would
actually go on television and
say, I'm going to use the
military to round up my
political enemies. When I said
that, I didn't General Flynn,
who's going to be very senior in
this administration, didn't say
that the gates of hell will
reign on my political enemies.
When I said that, I didn't know
that he was going to schedule a
rally in Madison Square Garden
to mimic the Nazi rally of 1939
so we have that they're telling
you, and by the way, if they
win, they're going to correctly
say, we told you an election
what we're going to do, and you
voted for us. You have green
lighted the whole thing. And if
we don't tell people about that,
if they don't, if these young
black men, how do you think
they're going to do if you're a
young black male and Trump
inspired on a roundup of people,
how well do you think you're
going to do in that you think
you got nothing to lose? How
about looking at American
history for one time and see
what can happen here? And they
are telling you, we're not
making this up. This is not we
can be fact checked by anybody.
They have promised military
Roundup. They promised the gates
of hell will rain on the
enemies. The Supreme Court has
green lighted it. They were
asked a question, if a Navy Seal
is ordered to assassinate.
John C Dvorak: This is the
Supreme Court has green lighted
Adam Curry: you can fact check
Unknown: Roundup. They promised
the gates of hell will rain on
the enemies. The Supreme Court
has green lighted it. They were
asked a question, if a Navy Seal
is ordered to assassinate a
political enemy, the president
can't beat nothing wrong with
that. That's just part of his
job. Telling you they're doing
all of this. Pay attention to
them right now. Please. They're
telling you
it's, it's I'm exactly,
exactly what he's saying. It is,
that is why I think Harris is
telling people to watch his
rallies. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, okay.
John C Dvorak: Oh man. That you
know what? I did hear parts of
that because I remember the him
saying that Nazi rallies, the
Nazi rally, because grand, you
know Madison Square Gardens, but
the fact this is the insane, and
yes, it's great. She's that's
the worst, because now her
ratings are next to nothing. So
nobody's I saw it the truth, the
true believers watched, yeah,
you saw it as a of course, of
course. As a research watch,
yes, hello. Oh, the insanity of
this guy.
Adam Curry: And why and why? I
mean that nothing left,
John C Dvorak: and he this in
his Louisiana accent is off the
rails. It's gone so bad you can
barely understand him. He sounds
like a dummy. He's like he
sounds like one of those. Which
brings back the point why they
have this guy on? He sounds like
somebody always pointed this out
to me. Some Texas person said to
me, you know, they always put
the dumbest people they can find
on television when they're
representing the South. Yes. So
when you have like, a bad
situation, CBS will bring on
somebody. Well, you do the way I
say it a way the government
coming in to make it sound like
the guy's an idiot. Why would
Carville sounds like one of
those guys? Well, he is. Sounds
like the local idiot. He
Adam Curry: is. What he's saying
is idiotic. Yes, he is. He is
one of those with the accent and
an idiot the Supreme Court green
lit it, yeah, Supreme Court
green remember it was, it was a
question from the lawyer who
said, so, if a Green Beret, you
know, if you can order a Green
Beret to a set. This was
asinine, completely unhinged and
crazy. And I'm just going to
say, they want him to win. They
want him to win. And it was
actually Muhammad Ali, who I
was. Someone sent me this clip.
It's 45 seconds, and back in the
day, Muhammad Ali was asked, you
know, people say hey, people
want you to be president. You
want to be president, so just
replace the word black here with
orange. Would you like to be
president? No, no, no,
Unknown: sir, too dangerous.
Like in other words, here's
a ship. People are dancing on
the ship, a lot of money's on
the ship, lot of foods on the
ship. And I cannot integrate on
the ship. I cannot have equality
on the ship. I'm just in the
galley working, and I never
could get up and see the captain
the ship. Now, all of a sudden,
the man tells me, say, come on
down. I'll leave out of the
galley. I want you to come up
here and here, have something to
drink. What do you want? And
giving me number one spot from
the galley to the number one
spot, I say, this shit must be
sinking
Adam Curry: Exactly. Oh,
John C Dvorak: that's a great
clip from in that with that
perspective
Adam Curry: and to know this is,
this is an amazing thing that
someone sent me this morning
from this. This is an outlet
called straight arrow news from
time to time. Yes, I've heard of
him, yeah. But
John C Dvorak: this is, is
promoted by a number of right
wingers. Well,
Adam Curry: not many people send
me this because and they don't
have a lot of views, so I'm not
quite sure who's funding them,
but this is now the government
putting this in from FBI
specifically putting this in
from information out, was where
we less than two weeks from
Election Day. This to me, if
anyone picks this up and runs
with it, this is a October
surprise right here,
Unknown: the FBI has revised its
crime data from 2022 first,
reporting a 2.1% decrease in
violent crime, now revealing a
4.5% increase, the increase from
2021 to 2022 in each Crime
category is depicted here. The
revision includes 80,000 more
incidents of violent crime than
previously reported, 1699 more
murders. 7780 more rapes and
more than 33,000 robberies and
37,000 aggravated assaults. The
FBI released this new data
without formally announcing the
changes, noting only on its
website that the 2022, violent
crime rate had been updated. The
discovery was first highlighted
by John Lott, an American
economist and political
commentator. The revised data is
all publicly available.
Adam Curry: Wow. This is This is
big this, I
John C Dvorak: know, and it also
brings into question David
Muir's commentary during the
fact check, yeah, yeah, the fact
check that he stopped a debate
to fact checks and no, crimes
down. And the Democrats have
been going on and on and on
about crime being down. I had it
at the dinner table the other
day. Crime's down. Oh, man, it's
harsh
Adam Curry: with your kids. It's
harsh because you just want to
whip them, don't you?
John C Dvorak: No, they're worth
arguing with
Adam Curry: now, well, take this
clip to the next dinner table.
That'll work, that'll show them
those whipper snappers.
John C Dvorak: Show them
anything. I do have a series of
campaign overview clips from
CBS, okay? Which tend to which
tend to show the attitude. I
still think CBS has been cut
loose because they're read in
anymore.
Adam Curry: Well, maybe, maybe
they're in for Trump.
John C Dvorak: No, I don't know.
It's just I, oh, wait, I'm.
Story.
Adam Curry: They're trying to be
fair and balanced. Oh, that
makes no, they're
John C Dvorak: not. They're not
trying to be fair and balanced,
but they're way. They're going.
Well, before we do that, I have
let's just play this. This is a
clip that was on from the on
point show that's on PBS about
flip floppers. They went and
interviewed a bunch of people
Adam Curry: on the street. Man
on the street. Warning, warning.
Will Robinson, well, what?
John C Dvorak: We know this a
bunch of bull crap. But I just
want to play this because of the
middle you tell me that this
guy, that there's just some
rando, doesn't sound like walls
Adam Curry: second time you're
using Rando, just letting you
know,
John C Dvorak: thank you. I
really like the word Rando. I
Adam Curry: like to I like
saying hello, but I'm stopping
myself. Well,
John C Dvorak: I'll minimize
random, all right, but I don't
know if I want to really stop it
like Hello.
Adam Curry: Thanks. Rub it in.
Rub it in.
Unknown: Brain problem,
John C Dvorak: because I'm just
listening to this. I'm what
milieu is, walls, a part of
Adam Curry: touchdown. Timmy,
John C Dvorak: except maybe I,
maybe I don't know. I just, I
just very skeptical about but
when I heard this, I said, Wow,
this guy's got he's in the same
millions. Sounds exactly the
same. Just play it.
Unknown: Who says he still needs
to know more about Kamala
Harris?
Her style is great. I just wish
I really learned more, and
because of that, I'm not going
to give him my full 100% because
I just have to learn more to see
how things are, you know, gonna
fall out with this all the vice
presidents too, yeah, if I was a
vice president doing the whole
thing hands down. Okay, yeah,
Vance scares the stuff out of
me. Wow,
John C Dvorak: am I wrong. Are
Adam Curry: you insinuating the
gay milieu?
John C Dvorak: It's a it's a
type of gay I'm unfamiliar with
because I'm in the San Francisco
Bay Area.
Adam Curry: Do No, no, it's your
flamboyant gays. There's
John C Dvorak: different gays
present as kind of, I'd say
stereotypes. Yeah, not all of
them. Yes. I mean, there's
plenty of closeted gays that are
just, or not even closeted, but
they just act normal. But yet
the flamboyant types, yeah,
anyway, again, I'm sorry.
Adam Curry: I know, I know he's
and yes, you should be, but he
definitely sucks when it comes
to hunting what
John C Dvorak: wouldn't even
load his own gun.
Adam Curry: What was that? With
a Beretta? With a Beretta? Oh,
this is a Beretta. Yeah, I'll
blast them out of the sky.
John C Dvorak: Okay, let's go
with Trump campaign. Trump. This
is CBS reporting. There's a two
clips reporting on Trump.
Trump's part of the on the
campaign. It's, I want to you
listen to the following. It's
got a negative intonation which
will contrast greatly with the
positive intonation they give to
Harris. I'm Norah O'Donnell.
Unknown: We're going to begin
tonight with the race for
president and new questions
about the mental health and
behavior of FORMER PRESIDENT
DONALD TRUMP, President Biden,
campaigning for vice president
Kamala Harris on Tuesday, said
Trump has become unhinged,
referring to a campaign event
this week where Trump swayed
music for 40 minutes, Trump, now
78 would be the oldest person to
become president, but he is
refusing to disclose his medical
records, which is something
presidential nominees
traditionally do in a town hall
aimed at courting women. Last
night, Trump made numerous false
and strange statements,
including claiming to be the
father of in vitro
fertilization. We also have new
reporting tonight on the Harris
campaign, including her new
outreach to Republicans looking
for an alternative to Trump.
CBS, Nicole killing is going to
lead us off with more on Donald
Trump and what his team is
saying tonight.
We really are the party for IVF.
We want fertilization, and it's
all the way
tonight, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP under fire after making
this strange claim about in
vitro fertilization to an all
female town hall. Oh, I
want to talk about IVF. I'm the
father of IVF. I want to hear
this question. He
made the claim less than 90
seconds before admitting Alabama
Senator Katie Britt had
explained it to him. I said,
explain IVF. Very IVF, very
quickly, and within about two
minutes, I understood it.
Adam Curry: Oh, wow. He said he
lied. He is not a scientist. He
didn't create IVF. He's the
father of nothing. Oh, man.
Okay, so this, yeah, they built
a whole story around this. Or
tell me there's Yeah,
John C Dvorak: oh no, and
there's mostly some more. But
the fact is, they really,
they're hounding him about him
saying that, which was obviously
in, you know, wasn't serious.
But I
Adam Curry: have to say, when I
hear them say Harris is out
there trying to be an
alternative that puts her in a
secondary position, the way they
the way they say. That Harris
alternative. You know what I
mean?
John C Dvorak: I'm more along
the lines of the intonation
here. This is like, very
negative, oh yeah. And then when
we get to the the two Harris
cups, these are balanced. Let's
go with Trump to this the second
part of this report,
Unknown: the procedure has been
around for nearly 50 years. An
official with the Trump campaign
told CBS News The former
president was simply reaffirming
his support and made the
comments in jest, but it was no
laughing matter for his
opponent. The Vice President
Donald Trump
found him to be quite bizarre.
Actually, called himself the
father of IVF, and if what he
meant is taking responsibility?
Well, then, yeah, you should
take responsibility for the fact
that one in three women in
America lives in a Trump
abortion ban state. In another
town hall geared toward Latino
voters, the former president
also resurrected debunked claims
about Haitian immigrants eating
pets, but took them a step
further. I
was just saying, what was
reported that's been reported,
and eating other things too that
they're not supposed to be but
this is all I do, is report. I
have not I was there. I'm going
to be there, and we're going to
take a look, and I'll give you a
full report when I do that,
along
with his recent behavior,
including dancing on stage to
question what she calls his
unstable behavior. Meanwhile,
pressure is mounting on Trump to
release his medical records,
after Harris released hers this
weekend, Trump told CBS two
months ago he would make them
public. You
are now the oldest candidate in
this race. Will you release your
medical records? Sure
I do. I just had a medical exam,
and I had a perfect score. The
Trump campaign recently released
a vaguely worded letter and
other information from his
doctors. Meantime, the former
president is getting a big
fundraising boost tonight,
pulling in about $220 million
over the last quarter from a
trio of billionaire donors,
including Elon Musk, Nora,
Nicole
Killian in Atlanta. Thank you
eating
Adam Curry: the dogs. I just
love that. ISO, okay, yeah. So
he dances on stage, which he was
doing to fill up time because
people had medical emergency.
Somebody
John C Dvorak: almost died at
the event, yeah? So
Adam Curry: he's like, oh, let's
just turn and they the queue was
good. He says, let's play it
loud. And they played it right
away. That was pretty
impressive. Someone was on the
mix on the wheels of steel. Good
to go
John C Dvorak: the something
else I've noticed. You notice
that you see this with people
that do, including certain
podcasters that have
inappropriate laughter.
Adam Curry: Yes, many
podcasters, people that
John C Dvorak: with
inappropriate laughter have
always been convinced have no
sense of humor, and so they
laugh at a lot of stuff,
thinking, Well, maybe it's
funny, and I better laugh,
because, you know, and Kamala
does this, she has a that stupid
laugh. She laughs all the time,
but she has, obviously, if you
listen to her, she has zero
sense of humor or even irony.
She has no none of that. She has
no sense of humor at all. So she
just laughs a lot and shares a
secret, yes. Okay, back to CBS,
so they've done trashing Trump
for being unhinged again. Yes,
this guy's been unhinged Since
2015
Adam Curry: How come they didn't
bring in the the enemy from
within?
John C Dvorak: On this report,
they didn't, for some reason, I
have no idea they brought they
brought it in, believe me, but
this is now we go to campaign
Harris. Clip one.
Unknown: Let's turn now to
battleground Pennsylvania, where
vice president Kamala Harris
launched a new push today to win
the support of Republicans,
including with an interview on
Fox News where she said, If
elected, her presidency would
not be a continuation of Joe
Biden's. We get more now from
CBS. Robert Costa,
I am joined today by over 100
Republican leaders,
with current and former
Republican officials on hand.
Vice President Harris lambasted
former President Donald Trump
for saying, If elected, he would
take on the quote enemy within.
He
says that as Commander in Chief,
he would use our military to go
after them honestly, let that in
use of the American military
after American citizens.
HARRIS also asked the crowd to
consider comments from former
Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark
Milley Donald
Trump's top general. He has
called Trump, and I quote,
fascist to the core. And said,
quote, no one has ever been as
dangerous to this country.
Adam Curry: Mark Milley, who
forced covid shots on his
troops. He's now he's hated. He.
Let's,
John C Dvorak: let's go back to
what she just said, quote,
quote, quote. She's not quoting
Mark Milley, no, she's quoting
Woodward's book. Yes, yes, good
point. It's secondhand
information. Woodward says he
said this, but the way she
presents it is, Oh, Mark Milley
said, quote, no, he didn't. He
hasn't denied it. He said it
Good point, good
Adam Curry: point, fair point.
But
John C Dvorak: this is like a
and and CBS said nothing, no, it
was pointed out in other
reports. And Fox said, when they
played some of this, they they
mentioned that this is a quote
from the Woodward book, which
you've already we've debunked
partly in the last show Yes,
with our note from the guy who
sells PCR machines, yes, and
Russia always had them, and so
Trump wasn't sending them to
Russia. That was bull crap. So I
think the whole book may be a
fraud.
Unknown: No, no,
Adam Curry: it's not what
gambling. It's not so, hmm,
okay. You mean the book that
comes out just in time and is
really about Joe Biden, Joe
Biden, but the very insulin
Trump, left and right? Trump,
yes. Oh, okay. Do you think it's
possible, at this point that
people at CBS and with all of
this noise, certainly from, you
know, the media about this enemy
from within, you've heard waltz
coming after journalists. Do you
think that people within these
organizations might actually
start to believe this?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I think so.
They're already lost very they
could easily believe it. But the
other hand, if you're going to
go on your thesis that we have
one more clip to play, we're
going to go on your thesis that
the whole thing is designed to
put Trump in office, doesn't
this idea that the American
military is going to go after
the Republic? After the Republic
creating a danger and Trump's
dangerous, dangerous, dangerous,
is a reflection of your basic
thesis that you love to bring up
about the cigarette packs.
Adam Curry: Yes, yes, the more
danger, the better it is. Vote
for him. He's dangerous. Smoke
this. It'll kill you. Hmm,
that's scientifically proven
that the I
John C Dvorak: mean, is that in
play, that that that's a
possibility with I'm
Adam Curry: with you on that. I
mean, I've said from way back,
they want you since
John C Dvorak: you've been
saying this for the all, ever
since I've known you, what
Adam Curry: they No, no. What
I'm saying is they want him to
win. They want him in
John C Dvorak: No, I'm Yes, you.
They wanted to win the cigarette
things. Let
Adam Curry: me just thing. The
ship is sinking, put the Orange
Man on the bridge. Let me. Let
me just review this study showed
that in this was mainly in the
UK and in the Netherlands. I
know that they did that as well.
On cigarette packs. They would
put horrible pictures of black
lungs and people with holes in
their throats and and people
would buy these packs and go,
Hey, I'll trade you a black lung
for a hole in the throat. And
they loved it. They were buying
more cigarettes than ever. And
of course, these the tobacco
companies like, oh, let's do
more of this. So distinct
possibility.
John C Dvorak: I was taking it.
I took a trip to Europe one year
when this was in play, because
they was, they never did this
here. They just had the warning
label. They never put horrible
pictures. And I saw these
pictures, my God, it was good.
It was like, I guess it was
like, trading cards,
Adam Curry: yeah. But yeah,
people were trading them out. It
was a big joke.
John C Dvorak: So here's the
second half of the Harris
analysis from CBS. But again,
it's, it's interesting. It's
couch in a very positive way
that Trump steps in a negative
way. I mean, maybe it's the
idea, is just the I don't know,
but it let's play this and
figure it out.
Unknown: Today's rally was in
Bucks County, a key suburban
Philadelphia battleground where
the campaign hopes to peel off
Republican voters, especially
women. I
urge you to make the
conservative choice. Vote for
our bedrock values and vote for
Kamala Harris. We
spoke to
longtime national GOP strategist
Jennifer Horne now beckenharris,
if there is an issue that's
flipping women towards vice
president Harris, what is it?
It's definitely the overturn of
Roe v Wade, and not just because
it's about abortion, but because
it's an attack on women's
rights, on women's autonomy. In
that
rare Fox News interview tonight,
Harris said definitively that
she would be a different
president than Joe Biden. Let me
be very clear, my presidency
will not be a continuation of
Joe Biden's presidency, and like
every new president that comes
in to office, I will bring my
life experiences, my
professional experiences, and
fresh and new ideas. I represent
a new generation of leadership.
While there is energy here in
the suburbs today, Democrats
privately tell CBS News they're
concerned about the energy in
the city of Philadelphia, and
want to make sure those core
democratic voters are ready to
turn out in November. Nora,
yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah. No. There was
very difference in tone, but I'm
not surprised. I mean, the
entire media is against Trump,
including Fox News. If you
really analyze it, I'm
John C Dvorak: gonna not Yes.
This is another thesis that I
have to agree with.
Adam Curry: So I want to play a
couple things here. Season of
reveal Bill Clinton confirms,
and not only confirms it. This
is what the New York Bankers
always said, immigration, back
to this immigration? Yes,
immigration is good. We need it.
We need them. We need to open
these borders. Not only did he
confirm this thesis, he used the
R word
Unknown: a new direction to
manage an immigration crisis in
a tough time where there's all
this upheaval all over the
world, where there are border
problems all over the world,
where millions of people are
trying to escape the misery
they're in, and other people are
saying, well, I want to do what
I can and take what I can, but
maybe there's a limit to how
much we can do. In other words,
I don't think Americans are anti
immigration. They're anti chaos.
They don't want us to lose more
than we can, but they recognize
least most people do. We got the
lowest birth rate we've had in
well over 100 years. We're not
at replacement level, which
means we got to have somebody
come here if we want to keep
growing the economy, unless one
of you is one of these
artificial intelligence geniuses
figured out how we can all grow
with no work.
Adam Curry: No. Thank you. Bill,
yeah, we're not at replacement
level yet. These borders have
got to open them back up again,
replacement. We need
replacement. It's disgusting.
More reveal, and I love this.
The Aurora city council had a
little meeting, and exactly what
we've been saying about this
entire immigration scam, which
really is much more a legal
human trafficking scam with huge
non governmental organizations
and nonprofits, many of them
faith based, making tons of
money off over placement,
placement of newcomers.
Unknown: We just need to retrace
our steps and find out what
happened. We need to make sure
it never happens again.
We not know the Aurora City
Council moving forward with a
proposal to investigate which
nonprofits the state and city of
Denver worked with to relocate
immigrants to Aurora. Now the
city of Denver says it did not
send any immigrants to Aurora.
This proposal passed Council 62
and council members say the
purpose is to learn how many
people were sent to Aurora, what
promises, if any, were made to
them, and whether background
checks were conducted,
whether it's the city, county,
Denver, whether it's the state,
should not impact a local
jurisdiction without, even
without, at least informing that
jurisdiction what they're doing.
They did not, they did not, and
they use nonprofits as a
mechanism to do this.
Adam Curry: Now the two members
who voted against it say this is
going to put vulnerable groups
at risk. Now we also asked the
governor's office if the state
sent immigrants to Aurora. We
have not gotten a response to
that question. Of course they
did. Of course they did. This is
the whole scam nonprofits. That
is, that is the biggest scam
that we need to clean up all
this money that Congress
approves, which goes to these
cut out nonprofits and NGOs, and
they do all the dirty work. They
do all the dirty work. And we've
been talking about this for a
long time now, at
John C Dvorak: least over a
decade. So
Adam Curry: Trump, the most
impressive stuff he's done is
you really have to sit down and
watch it. He did the Chicago
Economic Club. He did the
Detroit Economic Club. He did
the Bloomberg sit down
interview. He's his ideas about
tariffs and in essence, taking
China's playbook and saying,
Okay, 200% tariffs, but you want
zero tariffs, then just build
your factories here in the
United States. And he has, he
has good answers for a lot of
these things, good answers. And
so I'm not going to play a whole
bunch of things from, you know,
from the actual speech, you have
to go and watch it. You have to
spend the time because of the
weave. You know, the weave, the
weave makes it impossible to
clip Trump. It really does make
it impossible to clip him. It
does. It's actually makes him
less clippable. Very, yes, very
much. So, so here is a little
clip of him at the with the
editor in chief of Bloomberg.
Who hates Trump, John, that
guy's a dick off weight and a
British dick. Trump just ran
circles around him the whole
time.
Unknown: Yes, you're going to
find some people who would gain
from individual tariffs. The
overall effect could be massive.
I agree it's going
to have a massive effect,
positive effect, it's going to
be a positive, not a negative.
You are to this, and it must be
hard for you to spend 25 years
talking about tariffs as
negative, and then have somebody
explain to you that you're
totally wrong. It'll have a
negative. It will have 40
million jobs. There's a lot of
jobs to rely on. They're all
coming back jobs. Those are 40
million jobs in America that
rely on. Ready.
John Deere, great company. They
announced about a year ago
they're going to build big
plants outside of the United
States, right? They're going to
build them in Mexico and youth
freshmen. They're also, that's
right. I said, if John Deere
builds those plants and not
selling anything into the United
States, they just announced
yesterday they're probably not
going to build the plants. Okay,
I kept the jobs. Jobs here.
Adam Curry: Now. You made an
excellent point a couple of
weeks back. You said, how can he
do this? We have the usmca, the
United States, Mexico, Canada
agreement. How can he sit there
and say, I'm going to put these
huge tariffs on anything coming
in from Mexico? And at the time,
I was like, Yeah, you make a
good point there. How is he
going to do that? He actually
explained this at the Detroit
Economic Club. And
Unknown: to that end, I'm
announcing today that upon
taking office, I will formally
notify Mexico and Canada of my
intention to invoke the six year
renegotiation provisions of the
usmca that I put in. That was
the hardest thing I had to get.
They didn't want that. They
wanted to have it, but I wanted
to, because there's always like,
little tricks they want to play.
I said, Nope, I want to be able
to renegotiate in six years.
Otherwise, we're not making the
deal. And I got it, and it's
coming due very soon. I'm going
to have a lot of fun, and that
will address these concerns and
also seek strong new protections
against transshipment, so that
China and other countries cannot
smuggle their products and auto
parts into the United States
factory through Mexico, to the
detriment of our workers and our
supply chains. So
Adam Curry: this is really
interesting, because when this
clause was put in, of course, at
the table, everyone was like,
Okay, do whatever. If, even if
you get a second term, we won't
have to deal with you when this
renegotiation comes up, because
it comes up in 2026 I read under
the United States, Mexico,
Canada Agreement Review clause
on July 1, 2026 the US, Mexico
and Canada will confirm in
writing whether or not to
continue the agreement. If one
or more of the three parties
decide to make the step of not
renewing the agreement, it will
kick off a process that will
leave the future of the usmca in
a state of uncertainty for years
to come. That is unless the
objecting party or parties
change their mind, even though
the six year review is still
more than two years away at the
time of this writing from I
forget which think tank it was,
the uncertainty provided by the
review clause is already a
significant preoccupation for
business communities in all
three countries he's claiming.
And I tend to believe him that
he put that in. I believe him. I
believe that's fantastic. That's
a
John C Dvorak: fabulous idea,
yeah,
Adam Curry: and now it comes due
as it's a poison pill. Yeah,
poison pill. That's exactly
right. And he's really
interesting in these economic
club interviews. I mean, I was
listening to another one. It was
a, actually, was a seat. He was
just, oh, he was talking about
the Boeing plane, you know,
about the Air Force One, and how
they came in 5.7 billion. He
said it to the guy said, no, no,
I won a three in that number.
And you come back when you got a
three, and he says, and the best
way to get the price down is not
call them back. And, you know,
he got the done. He said, You
know, these deals that are done
by people, very stupid people,
or they're corrupt. And he says,
I think they're corrupt. They
must all be taking kickbacks.
And that's what he does. He does
deals, and it's not hard. It's
just don't be corrupt. The deals
aren't that hard to do. Here's
John C Dvorak: and by the way, I
want to remind you what was
brought up at the beginning of
the show, Raytheon to pay nearly
1 billion for defrauding DoD
allegedly bribing Qatari
official. That's corruption,
yes,
Adam Curry: but that's not how
it plays on ABC Good Morning
America. Former President Trump
Unknown: was in Chicago
yesterday the Economic Club
repeating false claims about the
January 6 election, refusing to
say whether he spoken to spoken
of Vladimir Putin since he left
office. Chief Washington
correspondent John Carl has the
details. Good morning. John,
good morning, George, in his
interview before the Economic
Club of Chicago, Donald Trump
referred to January 6, the day.
When his supporters attacked the
US Capitol in an effort to stop
the certification of Joe Biden's
2020, election victory as quote,
a day of love and peace, as to
whether he would commit to a
peaceful transfer of power after
this election, Donald Trump
pointed to the last one,
insisting it was peaceful, and
bizarrely saying January 6 was a
day of love and peace, and
falsely saying the police
invited the rioters into the
Capitol building. There was love
show that falsely, falsely,
some people went to the capitol
and a lot of strange things
happened. There a lot of strange
things, with people being waved
into the Capitol by police, with
people screaming go in with that
never got into trouble.
The reality nearly 500 people
have been charged with
assaulting police officers on
January 6, nearly half of them
pleading guilty or being
convicted at trial. The former
president also defended his plan
to impose new tariffs on
products imported into the
United States that
is going to push up the cost for
all those people who want to buy
foreign goods to simple
mathematics President
Trump, it's not yet, is, but not
the way you figured. I was
always very good at mathematics.
Adam Curry: So, I mean, I I
would say to everyone, go take a
look at those, those hour long
talks, or hour and a half,
they're pretty good. He's saying
some sensible stuff there. And
for those who don't understand
the weave, why it's hard to
clip, Trump goes off on these
tangents. Then he talks about
all kinds of different stuff.
And then he
John C Dvorak: brings
everything, yeah, everything's a
shaggy dog story, yeah, but
Adam Curry: very long. And then
he brings it back to the answer,
and he calls it the weave. I
call it the weave, and it's
horrible, for the show is
horrible. And if he becomes
president, I am going to call
him on it. One more from John
Carl, because, of course, we
can't leave out the enemy from
within. And John,
Unknown: the closer we get the
election. The president's former
president rhetoric taking an
even darker turn. He's calling
his Democratic opponents the
enemy within, promising to
prosecute them, even suggesting
turning the military on them.
George
Trump has continued to refer to
his political opponents as the
enemy within, saying they the
pose threat to the country, his
Adam Curry: political opponents.
Do you hear this
John C Dvorak: a lie? Yeah, John
Carl is a liar. He's this is the
three networks are just filled
with these people that are they
have to know they're lying, or
they're just
Adam Curry: delusional. Yeah, I
think that they don't even look
at the interview. You know, I
showed it to Tina, and I showed
her the she actually got it
right, right off the bat. She's
like, Oh, that's Antifa. She got
it correct, right off the bat.
It took me a second to say, is
he talking about immigrants or
what is he talking about? But
if, if, if the word is just out
there, this is the milieu. The
word is out the word is, he said
this very fine people, you know,
bloodbath, I think they believe
it. That's another one. Yeah,
they believe it. And they just
run with it. And the Masters
behind the scenes, whoever it
is, Obama, they got to talk to
him, about him in a second too.
They just run with it. Run with
it. Run with Oh, we got
something. Let's just go with
this. Trump has
Unknown: continued to refer to
his political opponents as the
enemy within, saying they pose
more of a threat to the country
than criminals illegally
crossing the border or Russia or
China. In fact, this is
something that he has continued
to do, even yesterday, in a town
hall meeting in Georgia, he said
this quote, we have China, we
have Russia, we have all these
countries. If you have a smart
president, they can be handled.
The more difficult are, you
know, the Pelosi, these people,
they're so sick, they're so
evil. That's the way he's
talking about his political
opponents. He's repeated
it. And again, this is
absolutely unprecedented in
American history talking about
using the military in this way.
John Paul, thanks very much with
Adam Curry: with the Clinton
Easter, they're doing the, doing
the the alley oop. It's
unbelievable. No, it's not. I
mean, why am I unprecedented?
John C Dvorak: Is bull crap? No,
of course. But I mean, these
people are just lying. It's
like, it's great, it's
Adam Curry: great for the show.
So then, well, you know, and I
think I might have to do an
emergency pod with the MO, an
emergency pod. He needs to do an
emergency pod. Mo, emergency
emergency pod, because now it's
come down to the black men. It's
come down to the black men. And
somehow Kamala Harris thinks
black men want to this is only
what I've heard. I haven't seen
the written policy, but the meme
that's out there is legalized
marijuana because black men love
lead.
John C Dvorak: By the way, this
idea of, I can't imagine being a
black guy and having this, the
notion. And that you'll be
satisfied with everything,
you'll be back in the fold of
the Democrat party if they
legalize. We because you're a
bunch of stoner losers.
Adam Curry: I mean, again, I
haven't seen the written policy.
I'm going to read it because
there's also something about
crypto. We're going to protect
black men from crypto? Okay? All
right, all right. All right.
Scary crypto.
John C Dvorak: No, not from
crypto.
Adam Curry: No, it. I've heard
analysis of it, and there is the
analysis from the Bitcoin
community, at least, is black
men get scammed by crypto scams
more than white men. Yeah, it's,
it's more like that than we're
gonna what we're gonna buy
Bitcoin for you. What is it? No,
no, no, my
John C Dvorak: understanding,
from the other from, from not
that perspective, not the
Bitcoin community, if you're
such a thing, no, is that it was
to protect the crypto situation
in general, because blacks, for
some reason, I don't know how
this. Don't know how to buy
bitcoin. No, they're all in on
Bitcoin.
Adam Curry: Okay, yeah, no, I
don't think so. They should be.
John C Dvorak: I don't think so
either. They should be, but they
are in on pot. They all need to
be stoned. And then
Adam Curry: the third me a
brand, the third one was gonna
give $20,000 forgivable loans to
black entrepreneurs. That's
illegal in America. That's just,
John C Dvorak: she can't do
that. It is illegal. It's
illegal.
Adam Curry: So this is what mo
would call the Boulet phone.
Call the Boulet phone rang the
Boulay is the, I don't even
heard him talk about it. But
that is the the Illuminati, the
black Illuminati, Charlemagne,
the God gets calls from them all
the time. Who sets them
straight? And this is I forget
this actor, I forget his name,
black actor, and he spoke out
against Obama the way Obama was
talking to the black men and
whoops, former
Unknown: President Obama struck
a national nerve when he said
this about black men. You're
coming
up with all kinds of reasons and
excuses not speaking to men
directly. Part of it makes me
think that, well, you just
aren't feeling the idea of
having a woman as president,
Wendell
Pierce, who is still with us at
the table, says that Obama is
wrong, and he tweeted this.
Initially, the party has to stop
scapegoating black men. Black
men are not the problem. And
then there was a phone call. So
what happened? Well,
I've known the president for
years now. Obama called him on
it, and mutual contact. You
know, said that we he wanted to
speak. I want to speak to him. I
didn't offer it as a criticism.
For me, it was nothing more than
strategists in a room saying,
Hey, what is the best messaging
for black men? I have focused
the past six weeks of going
around, going around the country
with a barbershop campaign,
right going to barbershops to
talk to black men. Since I heard
this is probably the right way
to do it, every election cycle,
they always say that black men
are siphoned off. And I found
the most effective way to
communicate to the to the men in
those gatherings was saying,
What do you want? Vote for what
you want, declare what your
values are, and then go out and
make the choice on that. Don't
consider my candidate, well,
that's wrong. Or the other
candidate, vote for what you
want. And I found it to be
effective. What they would say
is, what are you doing here?
This is the first time someone
came and asked that of me, and
so I was saying, simply, that's
not the way to get to folks.
What I've experienced in the
past six weeks is, in fact,
folks want to see what have you
delivered? Did he acknowledge
that it was not delivered the
right way?
No, we actually didn't get into
Adam Curry: it. Just went on and
on and on and on. So Obama's out
there calling the black actors,
hey, get on board. Get on get on
the ship. And then Kamala on
Charlemagne. Then, this is a big
one that I learned from mo this.
And this stood out. We've talked
about this on the show so many
times, reparations, my question
to you is, and by the way, every
white person who posted about
this misinterpreted the real
gaffe that she made. My question
Unknown: to you is, What's your
stance on reparations? We all
know that America became great.
You know, off the backs of free
black labor, how progressive Are
you on making it a priority and
right in America's wrongs is
understood that you are running
for president for all people of
America. Asking for specifics
for black communities doesn't
mean no don't do for others, but
black Americans are heavily
asked to vote Democrat. Every
election for over half a century
with very little in return. What
are your plans to address these
very important issues and change
that narrative?
Adam Curry: Maggie z,
Unknown: I appreciate that.
Thank you and thank you for your
work. So to your point, yes, I
am running to be a president for
all Americans. That being said,
I do have clear eyes about the
disparities that exist and the
context in which they exist,
meaning history to your point.
So my agenda, well, first of
all, on the point of
reparations, it has to be
studied. There's no question
about that.
Adam Curry: We've done a million
studies. It has
John C Dvorak: to be studied
more. It's
Adam Curry: always a study. They
never say, oh, yeah,
reparations, no, oh, we got to
do a study. That's what Maxine
Waters, did? They all do
studies, and no black man is
going to fall for that nonsense
anymore. Well,
John C Dvorak: not anymore, no,
maybe after the first time. I
mean, you
Adam Curry: listen to our black
brothers and they say, Hey, you
know, we thought Obama would do
right by us, because at least he
had Michelle. You know, we knew
he wasn't black when Michelle's
black. And then, all right, oh,
don't worry, we'll get you in
the second term. And then we got
to gender neutral bathrooms. So
No, no,
John C Dvorak: that's what it
amounted to, right. The entire
Obama administration amounted to
gender gender neutral bathrooms
in North Carolina, of all
places.
Adam Curry: And now, I hate to
do it, but there's been a
redefinition of a word that
needs to be discussed. I will
play the trigger warnings.
Everybody is aware that it's
happening. At
Unknown: the tone a clip from
the view will be played, shelter
in place.
All right, let's talk about
fascism for a second. Okay, this
is a definition. Is defined as a
political movement that embraces
the far right nationalism and
the forceful suppression of any
opposition.
Adam Curry: Are you kidding me?
John C Dvorak: The far right?
Second or third time, they've
redefined a word. I
Adam Curry: mean, I'm gonna read
from the most redefined
dictionary there is, which is
Merriam Webster,
John C Dvorak: a population
definition at the drop of a hat,
sometimes overnight, a
Adam Curry: populist political
philosophy, movement or regime
that exalts nation and often
race above the individual, that
is associated with the
centralized, autocratic
government headed by a
dictatorial leader, and is
characterized by severe economic
and social regimentation and by
forcible suppression of
opposition. Somehow that has
become the far right. Let's talk
Unknown: about fascism. Okay,
this definition is defined as a
political movement that embrace
embraces the far right
nationalism and the forceful
suppression of any opposition,
all overseen by an authoritarian
government.
Adam Curry: I mean, this is
these. These people are crazy,
crazy. They just make it up. By
the way, I'm surprised that I
refresh the page and it didn't
say that today. That could have
easily happened. Oh, oh well,
it's been redefined now by the
view. So we've got to change
that. Oh, yeah, gotta change
that. Ah, anyway, Trump is going
to win this election. They want
him to win this election.
Everything points towards it.
Stop being all spun up. If
John C Dvorak: you want sinking
is the is your is the best thing
you've played for months.
Adam Curry: Yes, why would you
invite that guy up on the
bridge? Because it must be
sinking. Yes, yes, be safe. Must
be sinking. Yeah, it's just,
it's just, it's just nuts. Well,
John C Dvorak: I have two clips
about the Ethel Kennedy died.
Yes,
Adam Curry: Ethel, who, I guess,
was not on good terms with the
RFK Jr when she passed.
John C Dvorak: I don't know
about that. Well, probably not,
because she's a die hard she
Adam Curry: was leading the
family against him. Well, it's
John C Dvorak: beside the point
in the fact that what that he
did indeed show up with Cheryl
Hines both wearing their wedding
rings and holding hands. Uh huh.
But if you listen to Nora, I get
this under Nora on the Ethel,
something is left out of this
report completely
Unknown: Bethel Kennedy was
remembered today here in
Washington as a champion for
human rights and as a fireball
of continuous energy. Three
Democratic presidents attended
her memorial, Joe Biden, Barack
Obama and Bill Clinton, the
widow of Robert F Kennedy died
last week at 96 years old, the
head of a family that includes
34 grandchildren and 24 great
grandchildren. President Biden
spoke of how mrs. Kennedy
reached out when his first wife
and daughter were killed in a
car accident, and then again,
when his son Beau died, Ethel
Kennedy will be buried next to
her husband at Arlington
National Cemetery, and that is
tonight. CBS Evening News.
Adam Curry: All right,
John C Dvorak: well, where's the
mention of RFJ? RFK Jr is
showing up at all. That's more
what you brought up was more
interesting than the three old
dudes completely left out. Now,
there was a moment where it
looked like there was an
argument going on between Obama
and Biden that was shown on C
Spanish
Adam Curry: became kind of a
people were doing AI voices on
it that. Well, I
John C Dvorak: happen to have
one of the better versions of
that. You really buying this,
Adam Curry: buying, what that
that? Okay, well, you this is an
AI version. So we're agreeing
This is AI put
John C Dvorak: in what says
right in the clip, funeral. Ai,
Unknown: all right, what
John C Dvorak: am I buying? What
would you? What were you
suggesting that I believe this.
I
Adam Curry: hadn't seen the A I
hadn't seen your clip title yet.
Yes, you know, yeah, sometimes
people that all these voices,
John C Dvorak: the Obama voice
is not good enough. I mean,
there are weaknesses with the
but I'm just saying I love, love
these AI bits because they're
funny, yeah, and I don't, and
they got definitely have good
writers. So here. So they showed
this on C span. We didn't get to
hear any of it, and this, it
looks like they're getting into
something of a beef. And so our
AI community came up, and
Adam Curry: there's no Bitcoin
community, but there's an AI
community.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, smaller.
Okay, so it's more likely to be
a community. This is
Adam Curry: great. I'm all for
it. This is great. All right,
can we play it? Yeah.
Unknown: So is Kamala doing?
Okay? Nope,
she's down, Joe, I I think they
found out that she's retarded.
Now we're basically fucked.
Trump is killing us at the
polls, so yes, we're gonna lose
Joe, damn it. Wait,
what if I come back to run again
as candidate? Yeah, well, let me
put it this way. Joe, the only
person in this world who is even
more retarded than Kamala Harris
is basically you. So no joke,
you're not going back yet. Let's
let it all play out. Okay, let's
just, we'll talk later. Joe,
okay,
women looking fine up in here.
Adam Curry: Good. That's a more,
that's a more PG rated version
than something else I
John C Dvorak: heard. You heard
worse? Oh,
Adam Curry: it was about Big
Mike.
John C Dvorak: Oh, I didn't see
that one. Well, speaking
Adam Curry: of AI, I was looking
at this report, which is about,
which is your typical, and we'll
get to it after the break, your
typical, you know? Oh, German
spy chief says that Putin's not
going to stop. He's going to
take over all of Europe. And
then I heard something, and I
stopped dead in my trash. German
Unknown: intelligence chiefs on
Monday warned of an increasing
Russian threat and said Vladimir
Putin may not stop at Ukraine.
Bruno Kal head of the Federal
Intelligence Services, the BND,
said that Russia was preparing
ahead
Putin will continue to test the
West's red lines and further
escalate the confrontation. So I
stopped right
Adam Curry: here. I went, hold
on a second. This is France, 24
but I recognize that voice.
Welcome
Unknown: to the automated daily
top news edition the podcast
created by generative AI. Now
we're not just delivering the
news, we're empowering you to
become a storyteller. Create
your own podcast using your
handpicked list of sources. The
West
sounded lines and further
escalate the confrontation. It's
the same AI voice.
John C Dvorak: You really think
so? Oh, I
Adam Curry: mean, it's just
filtered differently. Oh, yeah,
it's, it's, did they show the
guy talking? No, no, no, no,
that it's translating what the
what the German spy was.
John C Dvorak: Oh, and they're
using this guy, yes, yes,
Adam Curry: without a
disclaimer. Okay, I just need to
say something, because I think
I'm on to something here about
AI, where my error in thinking,
because I obviously, I want AI
to destroy the social media,
social network. I want to
destroy everything.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you're just
you're a nihilist. My
Adam Curry: era was thinking
that, AI, entropy would ruin it.
But no, it's human behavior that
is now ruining all platforms,
YouTube, Tiktok, social media,
anything that depends on what's
your definition of ruining I'm
gonna explain. I'm getting
there, and I have a lot of
stories to back it up, anything
that depends on advertising,
which immediately invites people
to game, algos, all of them,
YouTube, Tiktok, you know, grok
on on X meta has llama. They're
all offering tools to their
users to easily create content
based on popular keywords,
trending images. I mean, the
tools are amazing, and this is
what happened to me. I was, I
was on YouTube looking at
something for the show, and I
see in the corner recommendation
for the. This delta Hawk, DHK,
180 v4, two stroke diesel engine
with no electrics for aircraft.
I'm like, Huh, that's
interesting. And so I click on
it, and there's a guy at Air
adventure, and I know that
channel. And I was like, okay,
he's got some information. Is it
very interesting engine?
John C Dvorak: And you got
suckered into clicking, yeah,
but
Adam Curry: then I wanted to
know more, and there must have
been 100 videos about this
engine, and it'd be like, 18
minutes, and you click on it,
and it'd be one of these AI
voices, and really no
information, and all of a
sudden, in the middle of it,
some other program comes in, and
then it goes back, and all of
these were basically videos that
have been created by people
trying to get views using AI
tools just to get me to click in
the same thing with Diddy man,
go look on YouTube or tick tock
for something about Diddy, and
you'll realize, after five
minutes, wait A Minute, I'm
seeing the same the same
pictures swap the whole time
they're telling me nothing. And
then you realize I'm listening
to some chat GPT script here.
This is filling up all of the
social networks, particularly
YouTube and tick tock, and they
don't know what to do about it.
And then you've got the bots
engaging and commenting. Go look
at some comments. Half of them
are nonsense review sites of
product reviews, it's all AI
generated comments. Kindle
filled with books that are crap,
just just developed by by chat
GPT, so if you and I put some
links in the show notes, people
can go take a look. AI is
ruining the internet. Here, I
tried creating a Tiktok video
using only AI, and people are
doing 20 Tiktok videos a day
with AI. AI junk is coming for
your YouTube feed, and then meta
is still trying to figure out
how to identify AI generated
images. They are literally
killing themselves with their
own users by giving them these
tools. Because, you know, we've
got to make it, we've got to
show that it's great. It makes
nothing but sense, and it's
filling it up with unusable
stuff. And the algos keep
picking it up. They have no way
to stop it. It's it's happening,
and I think it's going very,
very fast. I think that we're
going to see these users as
people at home who are making
this stuff, are just filling up
the internet with nonsense
because of the model, because of
the algo model that generates
views and that gets you
advertising. People are claiming
$1,000 a day, some $12,000 a
month. They're showing you how
to do it, and it's horrible. So
I'm very pleased with this.
Obviously. I think this is
great. Facebook seems to have
the biggest problem, you know,
because, you know, it's images
that trend on Facebook. And then
they go in, they they take the
image, they they replace it,
they change it a little bit, and
then they write a story about
it. Click, you got another
click. And, and, X, oh, man,
it's, it's a business model. It
costs you $8 a month, you know,
to appear at the top of all of
the comments. And then you just
run your little bot, let it go.
It's fantastic. It's, it's, it's
falling apart. And the good news
is that podcasting, when it
comes down to it, which has no
algos for discovery, is going to
prevail. That in blogs,
John C Dvorak: no going back to
blogs. That's an interesting
idea. Yeah, I think
Adam Curry: it'd be great to go
back to blogs. Absolutely. And
speaking of podcasting, things
are not going well with
podcasts, with the podcast
industrial complex, I play for
you the top story today from pod
News Daily, which is a daily
four minute report on
podcasting. James Cridland, he's
a good guy,
James Cridland: and revenue
drops for This American Life
from Dubai. The latest from
podnews.net. With sound stack
earning more programmatic
revenue.
Unknown: Podcast listeners. Ira
here, there have been some
changes in the podcast industry.
Basically, the ad market has
dropped. It's hard to run a
podcast by selling ads, and it's
affected nearly everybody who
does a podcast. In the last few
years, we've watched friends at
podcasting companies all around
us as they made massive staff
cuts. Some companies have gone
under, and because these changes
in the industry, this coming
year, we expect our ad revenue
to be a third less, a third less
that won't be brought in just a
few years
James Cridland: ago. Now, wait
for it. One of the oldest public
radio podcasts This American
Life has launched a premium
subscription version of the
show. Cast ad market. As you
just heard, the branding is This
American Life partners. Glass
also suggested other names of
this American lifeboat or This
American Life Support, This
American Life switch to ad sales
by national public media from
August it had been represented
by the New York Times. It's
using supercast and Apple
podcasts to handle
subscriptions, we would note
that the staff page on This
American Life lists 36 people on
the team.
Adam Curry: 36 people on the
team. No wonder you're going out
of business. Oh man, I thought
that was so great. And I just
smiled and said, value for
value. Forever, baby. And with
that, I'd like to thank you for
your courage. Say, in the
morning to you, the man who put
the sea in the umca, say hello
to my friend on the other end,
the one, the only, Mr. John C
tomorrow, well, in the morning,
John C Dvorak: you Mr. Adam
curry, I'll say, in the morning
all the ships the sea and boots
on the ground feed in the air
and subs in the water. The water
and the dames the nights out
there. Hello,
Adam Curry: people on vacation.
1967 was our pecus. That's low,
isn't it? That seems low. Is
that high?
John C Dvorak: What for
Thursday? Yeah, is
Adam Curry: that high?
John C Dvorak: That's that's 100
over you, right? This wrong
every single show, I'm bad. 1800
is that is the target for
Thursdays. 2400 Sundays. That's
okay. All you need to remember,
okay,
Adam Curry: I'm remembering it
now. Hey, we got lots of trolls.
Hello, trolls. It doesn't count.
Their trollroom.io, no agenda,
dot stream. In case that.io
domain goes away, I hear that's
a possibility. And what? Yeah,
mauricios. Is it? Mauricios? I
think the UK gave back
sovereignty to some island that
had the.io domain name, and now
it's in danger of going away. I
don't know. It's one of those
internets. Wow. Yeah, I know
we've got a lot of iOS, so I
hope it doesn't I'm sure someone
will scoop it up and charge 75
bucks a month, that's
John C Dvorak: what. Yeah, just
jack up the price. It happens.
Some smart money.
Adam Curry: So the trolls are
listening in the troll
room@trollroom.io or they might
be listening on a modern podcast
app, which is the way you want
to go. You heard it. The algos
are filling everything up. If
you think you're going to get
podcasts on YouTube, you're
going to be wrong. It's going to
be nothing but AI generated
slop. So get a modern podcast
app at podcast apps.com you get
cool, cool features, such as the
bad signal that notifies you
when we go live, almost
instantaneous notification when
an episode is public for any
podcast anyway, it's good stuff.
And then, you know, transcripts,
cloud, chapters, all kinds of
wonderful things. We run this
value for value. Speaking of AI
slop, oh, you know, we were
having trouble with no agenda
meetups.com, and the Reiki
princess. So like, you know, I
the we can't get RSVPs and
something's going on, and I
can't get a hold of Sir Daniel,
who does no agenda meetups.com,
as a service, as a return of
value for the value that we
provide in the show. That's how
value for value works. And then
and I emailed Mimi. I said, Hey,
can you see what's going on?
This is the WordPress spat. Have
you been following this?
John C Dvorak: No, tell me about
it. So
Adam Curry: WordPress is a
company and it's run by Matt
Mullenweg. You know, we both
know Matt Mullenweg.
John C Dvorak: Well, actually,
Matt only runs half of it. What?
Who runs the other half? Well, I
mean, the WordPress died. Half
of WordPress was sold off to
another company, and Matt's got
nothing to do with it. He's
still, I think, in charge of the
public domain version.
Adam Curry: Well, he's, no, he's
still the CEO of WordPress, and
he runs wordpress.org,
John C Dvorak: well, I think
there's a I think there's this
lawsuit between no no and the
Adam Curry: company's No, no,
you've got the story wrong.
Wordpress, WP Engine is another
company, because any we could
start a company tomorrow selling
hosted WordPress domains, and WP
engine did the same. They did
exactly that. They're very
successful. They make 10s of
millions of dollars a year as
word as does wordpress.com and
so he may have gotten venture
money, but the lawsuit you're
talking about is Matt mullerwig
decided you're using the term
WordPress. That's now our
trademark, and it's very
questionable. And there's a lot
of lot of people who are
analyzing this, doesn't matter.
What happened is in this, which
seems to me almost like a gay
lover spat. I'm not sure what's
going on. WordPress said, Okay,
no more access to our plugins,
or the plug or certain plugins
that WP Engine was using. You
can't use them. Now on
WordPress, I'm little unclear
which way it goes. It might be
both. And so now these, these
plugins, are breaking everywhere
downstream. It's wreaking havoc
on everybody. And it's really,
it's it's really crazy what's
happening. And a lot of hate
going towards Matt Mullenweg,
who I only know is kind of a, a
nice, pleasant guy. Yeah, I know
the guy, yes. Have you ever
known him to be not pleasant and
not a sweetheart? Yeah. So
whatever happened? I mean, he's
gone full, as he said himself,
scorched earth on WP Engine. So
Well,
John C Dvorak: he's not a dummy,
so he knows enough to do
something like that, if
necessary. Well, the
Adam Curry: community. The
community hates the community
hates him. They think he should
be ousted from the company. And
it's a big fruccus anyway.
That's what's going on. Fracas,
yes, I said to me, I think it's
a gay lover spat. This sounds
like this has all the hallmarks
of it. I don't know what's
happening. So it just so that's
what's, what's causing some
issues, and Sir, Daniel's
working very hard on fixing
that. Other ways you go. I was
John C Dvorak: unaware of this
brouhaha. Oh,
Adam Curry: you should. Oh,
it's, yes, it's more than a
brouhaha. Yes, no. I
John C Dvorak: was unaware of
the situation with the no agenda
meetups.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Well,
because no one can spell Dvorak,
so they just, oh, curry, Adam,
curry.com, that's easy. We'll
just do that. Nobody
John C Dvorak: tells me
anything, which is good.
Adam Curry: I'm telling you now
I'm telling you, besides that
you could, yes,
John C Dvorak: this is the idea.
You're the filter for my
information. That way I don't
have to deal with all the
spurious crap. This
Adam Curry: is not a good idea.
That's a great idea. So speaking
of AI and value for value, we
have our artists fewer fewer
Dutch masters than ever in the
most recent
John C Dvorak: batch. I'm still
thinking of the 3035 producers
they have to pay
Adam Curry: third Oh, the 3036
36
John C Dvorak: producers, 36
Okay, yeah, even worse, we're
not gonna
Adam Curry: make it. People,
what do you think Ira Glass
makes? He makes bank. He makes
good money over there. I'm sure
he does. He has to, yeah, I'm
sure he does. 36 producers, This
American Life. Oh, well, okay,
30 what? What I mean? I can't
even think of 36 positions for
our show. Well, we have 10s of
1000s of producers, but they
understand the deal. It's like,
no, they're not gonna get paid,
but we get value because we're
not subscription only or behind
the paywall. By the way, it's
death. It's death for a program,
because you may be able to
convert now, oh, look, we got
50,000 people paying good we're
good to go. How are you going to
grow? The only way you can grow
is by putting mediocre crap
outside of the fire of the
paywall. And say the premium
stuff is on the inside. Kids,
come on in. Want some candy.
It's not going to work. You
become irrelevant because people
can't just tune in and listen
your relevance goes away, and
see Howard Stern. Before you
know it, you're nuts, and your
whole show is ruined. That's
what happens. And I'm glad that
Joe Rogan got out of his Spotify
exclusive for that very reason,
for that very reason, not this
nonsense. Oh, Kamala Harris is
talking to Joe Rogan's people
about appearing on the show.
Really, he has two people, Matt
in Colorado, who does the
bookings, and Jamie, who does
the fact check and production.
What people? I don't believe
this. First, he doesn't have 36
he certainly doesn't, no, and he
even said, I keep it lean, man,
of course, you keep it lean.
That's we have to keep it lean.
That's the whole idea. The only
way you can do it. We couldn't
even afford to have an editor on
this show, which we don't do,
because we don't edit. No.
What's the point? Exactly?
Taking out the US and the ahs
and the arms, oh no no, and the
Hello that is going to be taking
that out, taking all of those
out. So it was hard to find a
piece of art that we liked, and
it was, there was nothing really
super funny or on point for the
program, because everybody's
using AI now, thanks. Thanks.
Sam Altman, everybody's using
generative AI. Yeah, we're doing
art is great. His artist
fantastic. And back after a
quick intermezzo from Francisco,
Scaramanga is there's no such
thing as a free lunch. Ton
Stoffel with people liked it,
though it was cute. It was a
crow holding up.
John C Dvorak: It's got it's the
expression on the crow that made
Adam Curry: it work? Yes, I
agree. But as we look down the
list of what was submitted
John C Dvorak: for one thing,
wait, let me just say a couple
things. One thing, crows do not
have big eyes, in fact, and they
don't have whites. I never seen
a crow and you see the whites of
its eyes. So it was a cartoony
Adam Curry: i. Uh, looking at
the list on no agenda, our
generator.com, uh, sir Joe Ho,
who was one of our, uh, Jewish
knights, somehow thought we
would choose Solomon's knife,
cutting a baby in half. I, I
don't even know, I think, I
don't even know why he came up
with that. I mean, I don't think
we talked about it. Yeah, there
was some mention about, there
was a, it was in a clip
somewhere about splitting the
baby, maybe. But yeah, it was
minor though it was. We didn't
delve into the history of the of
the biblical context of
splitting the baby, which is a
good story. But no looking
further down the list. Clip
custodian, he did a haggard
Camela, which, although funny,
no, I'm not going to do that.
John C Dvorak: No, and it's it.
I will say, I have a I have a
personal rule. And it, which
annoys Adam, is no end. It can't
be gruesome. The picture cannot
be gruesome because I don't like
the associative nature of
gruesomeness with the
Adam Curry: show, yes, which is
probably a good thing, but, you
know, I feel just the marketing
thing, marketing thing, and
John C Dvorak: so they have a
picture of haggard Camela, and
then associate that with the no
agenda show. Yeah, is no, that's
out.
Adam Curry: Now you wanted, I
didn't like it at all. You
wanted the Carter did free TVs,
which it was a complete horrible
choice, because the free TVs
wasn't even centered on the
train and, and,
John C Dvorak: oh yes, I don't
know Will I spotted the fact
that wasn't centered. I
Adam Curry: don't know what you
were thinking. We discussed the
guitar of Thrones tattoo, and I
think you were if I had done
some convincing, I could have
probably dragged you across the
line.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I was
almost gonna buy it, but I still
like the look on the crow's
face, yeah, I just like the crow
and the comic aspect to it was
light hearted. It had a cute
crow holding a sign. It was the
lettering was too small, but
okay, and it just was a nice it
was pretty p it was pretty and
joyful, yes, and the one tattoo
that you liked that was with the
eyeball, was I realized it's
kind of gruesome to have a big
eyeball tattoo. It's just, I
don't know, it creeped me out.
Adam Curry: I'm waiting for
someone to get that tattoo.
John C Dvorak: Doesn't I could
see it. I could see somebody
getting I
Adam Curry: might actually get
that tattoo. Okay, I know I'll
pay for it. Easy. Does it easy?
Does it? Simmer down, simmer
down. And then the other stuff
was just bad. Ai, I mean, just
everything was bad. Bad Ideas,
bad prompt jockeying. Darren
O'Neill didn't even try
anything. Which is sad. No, he
must have no nothing, nothing at
all. There was nothing from
Darren. And I don't think
there's a single original piece
here. This all AI, the real
artists have given up because,
hey, quality any day. And none
of this is quality. The AI is
diminishing in quality. I think
I can safely say that it's
hurting. It's hurting the show.
John C Dvorak: I don't think so.
I think this. I think they are,
and they would, ever since the
AI started coming in, it's
improved the art in general.
Adam Curry: Okay, well, do you
see anything good besides the
crow? No,
John C Dvorak: no. There's been
plenty of opera. There's been
before AI. I'll say this before
AI. We had plenty of shows over
the last 17 years, plenty of
shows where we had nothing,
that's true, nothing, and we had
to go dig through the archives
to find a piece. So this is not
a new phenomenon. Just showed
material itself. Didn't lend
itself to
Adam Curry: any I'm just worried
that we're not seeing any of our
Dutch masters anymore. Where are
they? Where are the Dutch
masters? I
John C Dvorak: think, where's
everyone? I think the last show,
we had an abandonment of
listeners. We don't have enough
Commodores. We had lousy
donations. I think the Columbus
Day, or slash indigenous peoples
day, I think bummed everybody
out. Didn't
Adam Curry: help, didn't help.
No, I'm with you on that that
didn't help, didn't help.
Anyway, we love everything that
everybody does, because unlike
Ira Glass, we don't have 36
people on payroll. We can just
sit here and say, Hey, we can
complain. Yeah, we can complain.
Do you think he can go into the
office on Monday mornings? You
guys suck. There's no good arts.
The editing is horrible. Now we
can't do it. Can't do it, not at
NPR. So, yeah, I think, I think
we're doing okay. I'm happy. I
am happy. And we're here to
serve you, so that's what we're
here to do, and you need to
serve us and keep us going. So
we have the 3t and the value for
value model time, talent and
treasure. Now we go to the
treasure portion. Any amount
that anybody sends is always
appreciated. It's up to you.
Only you can determine what the
show is value, what it's worth
to. You, and you can do a
sustaining donation. A lot of
people do that, and they get on
right in the round table. Night,
night hoods, Dame hoods all the
time. But again, you, I can't,
we can't determine what it's
worth to you. Then clearly, some
of you think it's worth more
than whatever it's going to cost
for that silly Ira Glass show
with 36 producers who you're
paying? No, this is a community
project, community media.
John C Dvorak: You have to
wonder what 36 people are doing
daily.
Adam Curry: I mean, do you tell
me? I mean,
John C Dvorak: what does the
show? Is it a Daily Show?
Adam Curry: This American Life?
No, I think it's a weekly show,
isn't it? Yeah, I think
John C Dvorak: it's much we
know. We don't even know whether
it's daily or week. That's how
unimportant it must be.
Adam Curry: In tune we are
anyway, we always like to
highlight our executive and
Associate Executive producers.
Here's how it works. $200 above,
you get an Associate Executive
Producer title. That's a credit

Scandinavian? I'm presuming?
Well,
John C Dvorak: it should. It's
actually, you can tell by
looking at the check. Let me
see,
Adam Curry: no, that is his
Scandinavian amount. Yeah. So it
is. So that's a that's candid,
even so that is, he's barely a
producer.
John C Dvorak: I don't know that
it. He says dollars Canada. It's
depends on where the bank's
located. Well, anyway,
Adam Curry: he sent in a check,
and attached to it is a post it
note, short note, ITM gentlemen.

Anyway, of course, we'll do
that. Give some health karma for
your for your granddaughter, and
thank you very much for coming
in and helping us out here on
the no agenda show
Unknown: you've got karma. I'm
John C Dvorak: gonna read the
next two because they went after
that. It's too long for my
spreadsheet agenda 99 starts us

state. It's a town called
Austin, get

Kiefer. It's Kiefer. Okay. Kurt
Kiefer. Once again, a big thanks
to my Austin native, free
thinking, brilliant and I can't

I had to donate my drop dead
gorgeous, all caps, yes, wife
Beth for turning me on to no
agenda. Oh, good for Beth. She
turned you on. Just never.
Life's never been better. He
says, wow. He really blew it

don't know what Goodyear Arizona
Adam Curry: $500 though. He's
He's vying for a Commodore ship.
What an honor to support the
best podcast in the universe. In
regards to your Tiktok report in
Sunday's episode, I may have
something to add. I work in
social media, and several years
ago, when I finished, when I
first started, my wife and I
watched lots of Tiktok videos
for research, we quickly learned
that it is very easy to get
burned out from all the content
to the point that it would ruin
our whole day. After 2030, or 40
minute binges of content or
more, we would get what we
called Content brain. Oh,
that's, I like that content, you
John C Dvorak: know, you know,
Mimi complains about this every
so often. Content, when we have
a real one of our when we have a
what we you and I think are, is
a good show, which is dance. It
does the dance.
Adam Curry: Listeners, yes,
dense. And she calls dense. She
says it's it hurts
John C Dvorak: her brain. You
can't listen to it all at one
go. You just too much.
Adam Curry: We found we could no
longer focus on anything all day
long. We were very irritable and
stupid and we were anxious for
the rest of the day. Con
content, brain felt like losing
15 IQ points and getting ADHD at
the same time. It comes as no
surprise to hear that tiktoks
own research found that it
negatively affected brain
function. Needless to say, we
keep the short form content to a
minimum now and never show it to
kids. Short form content is
addictive and needs to be
treated as such. Tiktok is not
only bad for you, it's big
business. I should know, because
I own a videography and social
media service that get that can
get your smaller, medium sized
business cranking out content
easier than ever. Okay, we make
it. Is part of the problem. Of
course, we make your Tiktok
vids, Insta reels, YouTube
shorts and more from start to
finish, scripting, shooting,
editing and posting, all done
for you. You're out of business.
It's all going to be done by AI.
I've been doing this for years,
and not a single one of my
clients hasn't had a video hit 1
million views in their first six
months. We specialize in blue
collar companies like lawn care,
landscaping, plumbing, HVAC and
contractors. We're based in
Phoenix, but travel all over the
country for video shoots. Visit

for more info. Thank you for
your courage and thank you for
the tax write off. God bless
Dalton. Interesting. That is
interesting. In light of I'll
just play two clips. All right,
we're
Unknown: going to be in this
hour with Today's Health Watch
new research on Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
ADHD affects about 15 and a half
million adults, but it could be
much more common than we
realize. A new survey finds
about a quarter of American
adults suspect they have ADHD
undiagnosed, but only about 13%
have gone on to talk to their
doctors about it. Mental health
experts worry that self
diagnosis can lead to the wrong
treatment. CBS News Medical
contributor Dr Celine
Adam Curry: gowd joins us now,
so I won't play this for clips.
You can look them up in the show
notes. I'm not going to play
them, but these people are
watching too many Tiktok videos.
That's what adult ADHD is about
the only people I see addicted
to Tiktok is people my age.
John C Dvorak: So you keep this
is an assertion you continually
make. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I'm not all in on
the on the being a kid problem.
I only see adults, oh, and blue
collar guys too. You know guys
who do the septic tank
scrolling, look at this. Hey,
Adam, okay,
John C Dvorak: get off. Find
this. This. Yeah, I find it
distressing. You believe this?
Adam Curry: Well, I only, I've I
have evidence. I just what I'm
seeing. And I'm here I like, you
know, I and ask the kids, our
kids, like, now we take it, we
put up. They take it off the
phone because they hate it. They
get addicted. Then they might
bring it back for a day, and
then they take it off again.
They keep deleting. Idea,
John C Dvorak: you could be
correct in this assertion. All I
know is when I see uh, Brandon
and Jay, you know, they're
sitting around. Once the other
come over, I put on the big
screen, I got something going on
the television, and they're on
their phone. And then I grill
them about them. I take
pictures. I have photos,
Adam Curry: photographic
evidence. This has happened. I
have
John C Dvorak: lots of
photographic evidence. I've had,
I have evidence of the dinner
table. You have four people
sitting there, besides me and
and the kid and there, he
doesn't have a phone, but the
rest of them are on the phone,
yeah. And so I grilled by it,
and they're playing Wordle,
Adam Curry: Oh, well. And so
they pay for it, so they are, in
fact, supporting the New York
Times.
John C Dvorak: I gotta pay Yes,
Adam Curry: Wordle is quite
addictive. Well, Tina was
playing Wordle a lot, and then
she went, Wait a minute, am I
supporting the New York Times
with this? I guess the only way
that they're supported, and she
has other staying in business,
gave up her subscription, not on
my watch.
John C Dvorak: Well, yeah,
Baroness nights up. She's in
Edmonds, Washington. She used to
be Dame Knight. She's Baroness
night now she's going to become
vi Countess. Nice. She came in
with 350 $2 and she is
exhibiting noble oblige. She is
showing her responsibilities as
a Baroness, and now a VI
Countess to help the show.
Unlike our Brahmin listeners out
there who don't care, game on
the Brahmins, dearest John and
Adams, she writes with this
donation, not only am I an
executive producer, I become
vite Countess Knight as well.

there have to know we do cold
reads on this show. And we, yes,

Adam Curry: generally, we get,
we get the spreadsheet right
before we do the show, so we
don't have time to read through
it all.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we don't.
We don't rehearse anything ever.
And you can tell, in fact, we
Adam Curry: talked on the after
the last show, we were going to
bring something up, and I've
forgotten what it was. I
John C Dvorak: have to. I forgot
completely what it is. I need
more post it notes. Somebody
send me a pack.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, no, you
call for it and I'll do this.
And I remember saying, we'll
never do this. It's we're never
gonna remember this. And I even
wrote it down somewhere I don't
know where. Sorry,
John C Dvorak: I will never be
able to thank you to enough. She
writes, love you me. It says,
Love you. She's got the way
she's got it. Love you meant it?
No, oh
Adam Curry: yeah. Bliss says she
well, love you mean it? Is the
No, I think she means love you
meant it. She meant it. Yes.
John C Dvorak: Okay, dad with

Adam Curry: Then we move to our

Executive producers
Unknown: for this episode. Our
formula
is this, we go out, we hit
people in the mouth. What?
Adam Curry: You know, on the
last show, we were talking about
our view of Israel and the
United States, and how there are
so many people who are just, I
mean, I get emails all the time.
Israel's running our country,
the Jews, everything, all the
Jews. And so I went back because
I it was a recent interview with
Michael Hudson, what are you
drinking?
John C Dvorak: Topo Chico, nice.
Unknown: That's a lot of rack.
That's our
Adam Curry: drink of choice here
in Texas. So Michael Hudson, we
played him before. He's a
professor of economics. He's an
old dude. He's in his late 70s.
I put a fair amount of work into
this because he stutters worse
than Biden, and it's really bad.
And, you know, you can, I was
able to shore up these clips by
40% in most cases, but I thought
it was important, because he was
back in the 70s. He was there
when the American foreign policy
was designed. And I'm talking
about people like Brzezinski,
Herman Kahn, and, you know, all
the way up through Wolfowitz and
all of these classics, the
classics, the classics and and
so. And I, I believe he is
telling the truth, and I think
this is where we are at when you
look at Israel and Ukraine and
many other wars in the recent
past, and I talked a little bit
about this on the last show, but
I want to make this
presentation, and it comes
actually, after this piece of
information, which I didn't
know, as the globalist Christine
Amanpour was interviewing the
Foreign Minister of Palestine,
and I didn't know this, but it
was a ceasefire had been agreed
to, and then they they killed
the guy. They killed the guy.
Man was Lebanon. They killed the
guy in the bunker. Did you know
that a ceasefire was agreed to?
Oh, oh, here we go.
Unknown: I spoke with Lebanon's
Foreign Minister, Abdullah
buhabi, who is in Washington to
meet with American officials,
and he joined us for his first
interview since the latest
escalations. Foreign Minister,
welcome back to the program.
Thank you.
Thank you. Things have reached a
major crisis in your country
since we last spoke, and I want
to ask you you are in the United
States right now you know that
several of the administration
officials agree with Israel's,
you know, ground incursion into
your country. What do you make
of that, as you're in Washington
trying to get support for a
cease fire?
Well, they also agreed on the,
you know, the Biden Macron
statement that calls for a
ceasefire, and that caused, also
the implementation for 21 days
ceasefire, and then Mr. Oxidor
would go to Lebanon and
negotiate a ceasefire. Okay? And
they told us that Mr. Netanyahu
agreed on this, and so we also
got the agreement of Hezbollah
on that. And you know what
happened since then? That was
the day we saw you in New York,
I
know, and you were talking about
going into the Security Council
for this ceasefire, and barely
24 hours later, the head of
Hezbollah was assassinated. Are
you saying Hassan Nasrallah had
agreed to a ceasefire just
moments before he was
assassinated? He
agreed. He agreed. Yes.
Adam Curry: Didn't get a lot of
play. Did you hear much?
John C Dvorak: This is all news.
This should be. This should be,
as CBS with Norah O'Donnell,
they just play a bunch of stuff
right to begin on the show about
Trump. They don't talk about the
Raytheon. They don't talk about
the b2 bombers. They don't talk
about this. So
Adam Curry: by the way, the
people who think the Jews are
killing everybody. You're not
entirely wrong, but I just want
you to understand the strategy
and how that was built up in the
United States, which. Is
something that is not working
too well, I would say, as an
aside, and needs to be
dismantled. So let's go back
phone call, one phone call.
That's right, it may just be one
phone call. Here's Michael
Hudson. He's talking about this
strategy that was devised
actually, back in the 60s. Well,
Unknown: the United States
doesn't want to see fire because
it wants to take over the entire
Near East, and it wants to use
Israel is the cat's paw.
Everything that's happened today
was planned out just 50 years
ago, back in 1974 1973 and four,
I sat in on meetings with zyred,
who became Netanyahu, Chief
military advisor after heading
Mossad and the whole strategy
was worked out essentially by
the Defense Department, by
neoliberals, and almost in a
series of stages that I'll
explain. Stoop Jackson is the
main name to remember. Stoop
Jackson was the ultra right wing
Neil Kahn, who sponsored them
all. He was the head of the
Democratic National Committee in
1960 and then worked with
military advisors. I was with
Herman Kahn, the model for Dr
Strangelove, at the Hudson
Institute during these years,
and I sat in on meetings, and
I'll describe them, but I want
to describe how the whole
strategy that led to the United
States today, not wanting peace,
wanting to take over the whole
Near East, took shape gradually.
All
Adam Curry: right, so do you
know about this scoop character?
You ever heard of him?
John C Dvorak: Scoop Jackson?
Yeah, yeah, absolutely,
Adam Curry: was he a warmonger?
Sounds like it? Well,
John C Dvorak: he said he was,
at the time, that was my era of
being a Democrat. He was a great
guy.
Adam Curry: Wow. Okay, so this
is what I discussed on the on
the last episode of no agenda,
is that the Democrats actually
realized that you couldn't get
elected if you said, Oh, man,
we're going to have a draft and
we're going to send all you boys
off to war. That was no longer
going to work.
Unknown: The starting point for
all the US strategy here was
that democracies no longer can
field a domestic army with a
military draft. America is not
in a position able to really
field enough of an army to
invade a country. And without
invading a country, you can't
really take it over. You can
bomb it, but that just is going
to incite resistance, but you
can't take it over. The Vietnam
War showed that any attempt at a
draft would be met by so much
anti draft resistance taking the
form of an anti war statement
that no country that whose
leaders have to be elected can
ever take that role again. The
anti war students showed that
Lyndon Johnson in 1968 had to
withdraw from running for
election, because everywhere
he'd go, there would be
demonstrations against him to
stop the war. No such
demonstrations are occurring
today, needless to say,
Adam Curry: although that's what
we did expect at the convention
in Chicago. But of course, it
didn't really happen that way,
because people aren't quite as
animated as they were back in
the Lyndon Johnson days. So
instead, the strategy was
devised as follows. So this
Unknown: was recognized 50 years
ago, and it seemed at that time
that the US backed wars were
going to have to be scaled down.
But that hasn't happened, and
the reason is the United States
had a fallback position. It was
going to rely on foreign troops
to do the fighting as proxies
instead of itself. That was a
solution, to get a force. Well,
the first example was to create
the Wahhabi Jihad fighters in
Afghanistan as Al Qaeda and
Jimmy Carter mobilized them
against the secular Afghan
interests. And Carter justified
this by saying, Well, yes,
they're Muslims, but after all,
we all believe in God, so the
answer to the secular state of
Afghan was Wahhabi fanaticism
and Jihads and the United States
realized that in order to have
an army that's willing to fight
to the last member of its
country, the last Afghan, the
last Israeli, the last
Ukrainian, you really need a
country whose spirit is one of
hatred towards the Other, a
spirit very different from the
American and European spirit.
Well, Brzezinski was the grand
planner who did all that the
Sunni Jihad fires became
America's foreign legion in the
Middle East, and that includes
Iraq, Syria and Iran and also.
Of Muslim states going up to
Russia's
Adam Curry: border. So, yes,
that's exactly what's going on
here. You've got to get
countries who hate the other
people that you want to get rid
of, and they will do the bidding
for you. I think we've been very
successful at that. Look at
literally Ukraine fighting to
the last man,
John C Dvorak: the last we're
gonna kill every Ukrainian if we
have to, and we'll
Adam Curry: kill every Israeli
IDF soldier if we have to. If
you're asking why, well, it's an
age old issue. It's always about
the oil. The
Unknown: aim of the United
States was oil was going to was
the center of this policy, that
meant the United States had to
secure the Near East and the
there were two proxy armies for
it on the and these two armies
have fought together as allies
down to today. On the one hand,
the al Qaeda triads, on the
other hand, their managers, the
Israelis, hand in hand and the
they've done the fighting so
that the United States doesn't
have to do it. The foreign
policy has backed Israel and
Ukraine, providing them with
arms, bribing their leaders of
enormous sums of money and
electronic satellite guidance
for everything they're doing,
but the United States has been
able to avoid all the
appropriate but President Biden
keeps telling Netanyahu, well,
we've just given you a brand new
bunker buster bombs and huge
bombs. Please drop them on your
enemies, but do it gently.
So yes,
John C Dvorak: it should mention
that Biden has also gone on and
on to say he brags about the
fact that the Ukraine war, we
haven't lost. We're not one
soldier. We had no boots on the
ground. We're not nobody's dying
there from us. Yeah, right. And
he goes on and on about
Adam Curry: it, yeah, because,
well, there are US military
there, but
John C Dvorak: they're not
supposed to be, yeah, but still
that technically. Now
Adam Curry: we get to the to the
meat of the issue, which is the
Zionists and the Zionists in
America. And he lays it out very
clearly here, Israel is our
Foreign Legion, and it's the
Zionists. Man, how are we gonna,
how are we gonna get these? How
are we gonna, really, how we
need to put these crazy people
in the State Department when
Unknown: all of this strategy
was being put together. Herman
Khan's great achievement was to
convince the US empire builders
that the key to achieving their
control the Middle East was to
rely on Israel as its foreign
Legion, and that arm's length
arrangement enabled the United
States to play the role, as I
said, of the good cop,
designating Israel to play its
role. And Israel is organized
and supplied Al Nusra al Qaeda,
while the United States pretends
to denounce them. And it's all
part of a plan that's been
backed by the military, the
State Department and the
national security operation, and
that's why the State Department
has turned over management of us
diplomacy to Zionists, seemingly
distinguishing Israeli behavior
from us empire building. But in
a nutshell, the Israelis have
joined al Qaeda and ISIS as
troops as America's
Adam Curry: foreign Legion. Now
you start to understand how
ISIS, all of a sudden bombed in
Russia. Yeah. So those of you
saying Mossad CIA, yes, yes, but
it's really been a plan, and
it's the United States
controlling, not the other way
around. And so back to scoop.
Real name Henry Jackson. He was
quite the architect of this
whole system, particularly on
the US side.
Unknown: The US policy, as I
said, was based on the US
actually taking over all of
these countries, again, using
Israel as the as the battering
ram called America's landed
aircraft carrier there. Well,
the All this began to take place
in the 1960s with Henry Jackson.
Initially, Israel didn't really
play a role in the US plan.
Jackson simply hated communism.
He hated the Russians, and he
got a lot of support within the
Democratic Party. He was a
senator from Washington State,
and that was the center of that
military infrared complex. He
was called, nicknamed the
senator from Boeing Jackson. Was
fighting all the arms control so
we've got to have war. And he
proceeded to stuff the State
Department and other US agencies
with neocons, who was planned
from the beginning for a
permanent worldwide war. And
this takeover of government
policy was led by a. Jackson's
former Senate aides. These
Senate aids were Paul Wolfowitz,
Richard Pearl, Douglas Fife and
others who were catapulted into
the commanding heights of the
State Department and more
recently, the National Security
Council. The Jackson Vanik
Amendment to the US trade. Act
of 1974 became the model for
subsequent sanctions against the
Soviet Union, claiming that the
claim was it limited Jewish
immigration and other human
rights. So right then the State
Department realized here, here
is a group of people who we can
use as the theoreticians and the
executors of the US policy that
we want, they both want to take
over all of the Arab countries,
I don't think there were any non
Jewish Americans that had that
visceral hatred of Islam that
the Zionists said, or also The
visceral hatred of Russia,
specifically for its anti
semitism of past centuries, most
of which was in Ukraine, and by
the way,
Adam Curry: so now the entire
State Department comes into
view. We understand the thinking
and the milieu that Newland and
Blinken and all these jamoks
have been in. They have been
educated for this policy that is
US policy, our policy. And
John C Dvorak: let's, let's make
it clear, antiquated, yes, began
during the Stalin period where
Khrushchev, I think it was the
guy running it. When is when it
was the Soviet Union, which is
long gone and and the structure
of the world has changed, messy,
but we're keeping with this
archaic policy, which is
ludicrous at this point, and
Adam Curry: this is the last
clip, because the system is no
longer working. It's not
happening. It's failing. And
this is his wrap up from the
very
Unknown: beginning. They were
promoted, supported with huge
amounts of money, all of the
bombs they needed, all the
armaments they needed, all the
funding they needed. And Israel
is a country whose economy needs
foreign exchange in order to
keep its currency solvent. All
of that was given to them
precisely to do exactly what
they're doing today. So when
Biden pretends to say, Can't
there be two state solution? No,
there can't be a two state
solution, because Netanyahu has
said, we hate the gazians. We
hate the Palestinians. We hate
the Arabs. That cannot be a two
state solution. This could not
have been said explicitly 50
years ago. That would have been
shocking, but it was. It was
being said by the neocons who
were brought in from the
beginning to do exactly what
they're doing today to act as
America's proxy, to conquer the
oil producing countries and make
it part of Greater Israel, as
much of a satellite of the
United States that England or
Germany or Japan have become,
that's become a precondition for
their own solvency, it is
insolvent. There's no solution
to black hole that Israel's
painted itself into, and yet
there's no willingness to have a
single state, because Biden and
the entire National Security
Council, Congress and the
military, and especially the
military industrial complex,
says there cannot be any common
living between Palestinians and
Israelis, anymore than there can
be in Ukraine. Ukrainians and
speakers and Russian speakers in
the same country. It's exactly
the same it's following exactly
the same policy. And all of this
is planned and sponsored by the
United States and funded with
enormous amounts of money.
Adam Curry: And I would say
Taiwan is on deck for this
idiotic policy. So this has been
United States policy. We are the
bad guys in this. And yes, of
course, the Zionists in Congress
who get funded through AIPAC,
which is directly funded by the
corrupt companies, allegedly,
who we just heard Raytheon.
They're the ones who the Israeli
education fund who give the
money to AIPAC, which flows
through to the senators and the
Congress people who are all in
on the military industrial
complex, except Thomas Massie. I
was gonna say, see Thomas
Massie, whose wife dies very
suddenly, unexpectedly after he
after he explains how this
works. So the Jews and the
Mossad, I really don't think
that they're controlling
America. America, but this
policy is outdated. It's not
working, and it appears to me,
specifically, when we have our
boots on the ground, dude named
Mohammed, that everybody in the
region knows this is coming to
an end. Trump's coming in. He's
going to change this policy, and
he's going to fix it, and I
really believe he's going to do
that with the Abraham accords
2.0 and will being will bring
peace, will still get a lot of
oil those he knows how to cut a
deal. But this, this killing,
this has to stop and and that's
why the Jews, the Jews in
Israel, they are mad at
Netanyahu. They see what's going
on. They know what's happening.
But you can't come out and say,
you can't say America is running
this show, which is exactly what
we're doing. And just to laugh
for a couple seconds here,
Zelensky unveiled his victory
plan to his own parliament. I
will play the report first about
the victory plan.
Unknown: This morning, I've been
seeing humorous memes on the
internet showing how the
lawmakers were applauding in the
Ukrainian parliament, but with
the video cut so that Volodymyr
Zelensky just comes in and says,
slavo Craney, which means Glory
to Ukraine, and then everybody
claps. The implication being
that there wasn't very much
really in the plan.
Unfortunately, there's also a
photo of the speaker of
parliament, sorry, a video of
him inviting photographers to
photograph the plan, and he
accidentally opens his dossier
on the wrong page, and it's a
blank page, which a lot of
Ukrainians found, you know,
darkly funny in Parliament,
despite the applause, which
meant that everybody accepted
the plan because, of course,
there's nothing in there that
Ukrainians would want to
disapprove of. A lot of MPs were
very critical, saying that it
doesn't really constitute a
plan. It's more like just a wish
list. Zelensky himself was
insisting again and again on how
much all of this depends on
Ukraine's partners and allies.
And a lot of people are saying,
well, he's asking things from
the partners and allies that the
partners and allies have been
pretty clear that they don't
want to give for the moment
anyway. Though one MP did point
out that this has happened
before, that Ukraine asked for
Patriot air defense missiles, F
16, all sorts of weaponry that
at first, the West seem pretty
determined not to give, and
ended up giving. I guess the
hope is that it will be the same
with NATO. But I don't think
anyone in Ukraine is hoping that
any kind of announcement is
going to come from NATO today or
any time before the US election.
Adam Curry: So it's falling
apart, because everybody knows
you can't just get this, this
country into NATO, which is the
top of this plan, invitation to
join NATO. It's falling apart in
Ukraine, and it's so bad in
Israel that, well, we had to do
this. The
Unknown: United States has
announced that it's sending
Israel an additional high
altitude anti missile system to
boost its defenses against a
potential Iranian attack. The
THAAD weapon system is used to
shoot down incoming ballistic
missiles and will be operated by
US troops in Israel. President
Biden said the system would
bolster Israel's air defenses
following Iran's ballistic
missile attacks in April and
October. The announcement was
made just hours after Iran
warned the US to keep its
military forces out of Israel.
So
Adam Curry: Americans have a
great choice. Vote for the
candidate who was endorsed by
warmonger Dick Cheney, or for
someone who has an idea on how
to fix this and was actually
kind of underway doing it. But
this, we are bad. We are bad
with this, and it's dumb and
stupid, and it has to dog. We
are bad dog, Bad dog. We have to
stop this.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, we
have to stop it. I mean, I think
our intentions are good, but we
have to stop it because it's
archaic. Yes, this is bulk. We
don't Stalin doesn't run Russia
anymore, or the Soviet Union
doesn't even exist. We made
promises that we didn't keep
about moving NATO around. NATO
is archaic. I think every Trump
knows that, but there's not much
you can do about it, because it
sounds good and but this arc old
fashioned thinking is really an
issue. It
Adam Curry: is, it is. And for
the brothers and sisters who are
so, well, yeah, but they're
good, they're gonna cheat.
They're gonna cheat. They're
gonna yes, they're gonna cheat.
So are the Republicans.
Everybody's gonna cheat. What
you haven't heard a lot about in
because why would you is that at
the state level, a lot has
happened with election boards
and people in charge of of how
the ballots are going to be
counted. So you get like this,
oh, an outrageous report. Dana
Bash always says, No, I can't
believe this. This is just.
Crazy, a big
Unknown: court ruling yesterday
in Georgia about how the state's
votes will be counted, a state
judge paused a controversial new
rule from the Georgia election
board, which is controlled by
Trump allies. That rule would
require hand counting all
ballots. CNN, Sarah Murray is
following. Explain the
significance?
Well, the significance is that
this was a rule that was going
to be coming into place in late
October, and the judge basically
said, Look, this is too much,
too late. He said this would
cause administrative chaos, and
he's putting it on pause while
it's being litigated on a number
of fronts, including, as you
pointed out in a hearing today,
you know, you also pointed out
there's no training in place.
There's no protocol to
implement. The scenes paused. It
may be appealing so close to
actual election day that it's
hard to imagine you could move
forward with something like
this, again, without any
training, without any rules in
place, around so close to
election
day and they're
voting right now, an
election not counting them, but
actually voting. Yeah, we need
Adam Curry: to. We need to
training. Count. CBS had a
different take.
Unknown: It's not hand
tabulation, but it's hand
counting, just so they can
reconcile if the number of
ballots in hand matches up with
the number of ballots that the
machines say represent votes
cast on election day. So they
say it's about checks and
balances, and that would it
allow to look at any
discrepancies to make sure you
know, there, there, you know.
Every now and then, there have
been human errors in Georgia
that showed, you know, a box of
ballots got missed. Now again,
nothing that would affect the
outcome of the election, but the
state election board says this
would make sure everything was
proper reconciled ballots equals
ballots counted.
Adam Curry: It's this Gillespie
County. There was huge moves
like hand counting hand a lot
has gone on that that is just
not reported on. And of course,
why would you do it? Although I
did like this, this tick tock
video from a voter in Oregon.
It's even better with the video,
but you don't understand what's
happening when he got his voter
packet.
Unknown: Okay, so this is the
Oregon voters pamphlet, right?
So as an informed voter, you're
supposed to be able to, like,
read all about all the
candidates, all the different,
you know, political parties,
everything, right? Okay, so
we've got Robert F Kennedy Jr,
right? He's not even running as
president anymore. Dropped out.
Chase Oliver. I don't even know
who the crap that is. He's
obviously not going to win. Then
you have Jill Stein, No,
probably not going to be the
one. Then you have this weird
blank space here, it's just
blank. Then you have Kamala
Harris, Tim Wolfe, and then
where, like, JD Vance should be,
is blank, and then, then it goes
into US representatives. Isn't
that insane? I mean, everybody's
like, Oh, organ is like, you
know, so liberal or whatever.
They don't even put Donald Trump
on. The thing that's insane.
Like this is why we need, like,
an electoral college for states.
You know, if we could get
Portland and Eugene out of our
state, the rest of the state
would be amazing.
Adam Curry: It is literally half
a page just blank.
John C Dvorak: Didn't Yeah, I'd
like to have somebody verify
that this was the case and this
wasn't a rigged, phony baloney,
Adam Curry: that's possible, but
it felt pretty when you saw it.
John C Dvorak: When you saw it,
the guy showed one of the blank
patient. You could see a smudgy
looking area where there would
have been maybe a photo.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I thought that
was just bleed through from the
previous page. But it could be.
It could
John C Dvorak: have been. It
could have been exactly what you
just said, Yeah, but I just
found the whole thing unless
it's confirmed. I'm skeptical
about that particular clip,
although it wouldn't surprise me
in the least, right? I know. I
mean Oregon, Washington and
California, the three coastal
states, are all corrupted in
terms of their voting, too much
mail in voting. I got a ballot
the other day to mail in, and
Washington State's 100% mail in.
There's no anything. You don't
have a choice. You can't go to a
to a poll. I was
Adam Curry: a little disturbed
by listening to this short
report from the New York Times
daily, podcast about people who
are voting by absentia. So if
you're in in a foreign country,
you can still vote. This is the
their report. Quote of how to do
it. Hey,
Unknown: friends, Hey, friends.
Americans living abroad can vote
in the US election. You can
register or get tailored
support@votefromabroad.org state
deadlines are close, so don't
waste a second. Go to
votefromabroad.org now and find
your state. Once requested, your
ballot will come by email. All
you have to do is vote and send
it back. Don't delay. A
votefromabroad.org,
Adam Curry: so you email your
your ballot back. I
John C Dvorak: don't like that,
and.org How come it's not.gov?
Thank you. If it's official.gov,
Adam Curry: thank you. Very
sketchy.
John C Dvorak: That's very
sketchy. Sketchy. Sketch, super
sketch, man, I'm told you, if
you're in a foreign country, you
go to the embassy and you can
vote. That
Adam Curry: would be a proper
way to do it. Yes. I mean, I was
right. When I was abroad, you'd
fill it out, you'd send it
through the mail, that would
arrive at the appropriate place.
But this doesn't sound doesn't
sound right? No,
John C Dvorak: that sounds like
a scam. Yes, yes, indeed. Okay,
well, that was a good report.
Yes, thank you. Now I'm talking
about the guy. Yeah, here's a
couple odd clips. Um, we have
one of the Trump campaign
classic. There's a back to the
Trump campaign classic, does it
NPR? Does Trump campaign? NPR
summaries? How did NPR summarize
things? Polls
Unknown: show a wider gender gap
than usual this year, women are
supporting vice president Kamala
Harris in large numbers, while
men are leaning toward former
President Trump. Both candidates
see those gaps as opportunities
to earn a few more votes in what
looks likely to be a very close
election. Today, Trump appeared
on a Fox News Town Hall in front
of an all women audience here to
talk about what he said is NPR
political correspondent Danielle
Kurtz Laban, hi there. Hey, Ari.
How did Trump try to reach out
to women in this event?
Well, a lot of these women,
really it seemed like he had
reached them already. They
cheered loudly and often, you
could see some wearing Trump
gear. Now, as for topics that
they asked about, the questions
they asked covered a lot of the
things that Trump already talks
about all the time, like
inflation, immigration. There
was one question about
childcare, but in his answers,
Trump notably stressed safety
and security, which is something
he talks a lot about related to
women. Specifically, he often
says that women should care, for
example, about an issue like
immigration, because to him,
that's an issue of safety. He
always casts undocumented
immigrants as particularly,
particularly dangerous. And by
the way, that is, of course, not
true,
Adam Curry: except they're
eating the dogs that,
John C Dvorak: by the way,
that's not true. Now I want to
mention this at the end. She
says, Oh yeah, dangerous
immigrants, not true, even
though there's rapists and
murders inside the points. Not
true, not true, not true. There
was a study done some time ago.
We've talked about it on the
show like years ago, where it
showed that the immigrant base
of the United States, which
committed less crimes than the
locals. And this was based on a
study of the legal immigrants,
not the illegal immigrants,
which are now being escorted
into the country. And they keep
referring back to and that's why
she could say that at the end,
oh, yeah, there's a lot of crime
because, but it's not true.
Adam Curry: You mean the report
that immigrants commit less
crime than natural born
citizens? Yes, I have, I have
this from AOC was propagating
this. This goes back to 2019, we
can't
Unknown: even get laptops in the
hands of our district offices
because the President has
decided to hold the paychecks of
everyday Americans hostage so
that he can fulfill a campaign I
don't even I don't want to call
it a promise, a campaign fantasy
that the vast majority of
Americans disapprove of. And not
only that, but in in the actual
address, there was falsehood
after falsehood, and we have to
make sure that we get our facts
straight. Every day, immigrants
commit crimes at a far lower
rate than native born Americans.
And not only that, but the women
and children on that border that
are trying to seek refuge and
seek opportunity in the United
States of America with nothing
but the shirt on their backs are
acting more American than any
person who seeks to keep them
out ever will be.
Adam Curry: Let's remember that
next time it comes up. AOC,
yeah, that was, that was from
that clip. You're right. You're
right,
John C Dvorak: and that's what
they were based. That's that
information is still being used
today, even though it's not
valid. It hasn't been valid for
years. Like
Adam Curry: crime has gone down
by 2.5% it went before, before
and a half percent. Oh, yeah,
fake
John C Dvorak: information. 7%
Adam Curry: difference. Oh, I'm
sorry. Oh, that's not right. Oh,
that can't be right. Well,
John C Dvorak: they're just
gaslighting the public. The
public is just getting bad
information, mostly from the
mainstream media, who propagates
stuff like that clip that you
picked up from AOC back in 2019
which we have the show itself
has long memory. It's called the
archive. It's called
Adam Curry: Bing. It.io which,
by the way, there's an. A boot
page on Bing, it.io you can get
that same functionality for your
podcast. It's a very smart guy
who put that together one of our
producers, and he is allowing
people to purchase that service
from him if you want it, which
is great, because you can search
anything, clips, stuff we talked
about, articles.
John C Dvorak: Here's a here's a
clip. This is a clip that needs
to be played. This is from NPR.
This is the Sinaloa bust. I have
it listed as odd.
Unknown: Mexico's new or ex
security chief, rather, has been
sentenced to more than 38 years
in a US prison and prs qlance
reports and our Garcia Luna was
convicted of taking bribes from
Mexican drug cartels
during the years that henato,
Garcia Luna was supposed to be
leading the fight against
powerful drug cartels in Mexico,
he was actually on their
payroll. Last year, a federal
court in Brooklyn found Garcia
Luna guilty of working with the
Sinaloa Cartel. Prosecutors said
he caused violence, addiction
and death in the US and Mexico.
The judge gave him a $2 million
fine and 460 months in prison,
effectively life for the 56 year
old. Later this week, the same
judge will continue the case of
an alleged Sinaloa drug kingpin,
76 year old Ismail almayo
Zambada. US efforts to dismantle
Mexican cartels may be
contributing to what experts say
is a steep decline in synthetic
opioids in US cities.
Adam Curry: What?
John C Dvorak: So they're going
after these guys late? Yeah,
welcome to the party, gentlemen.
And then the thing is, this
guy's a Mexican official. They
somehow know how you get this
guy into the country to throw
him in jail. I find it peculiar.
We've done this with a bunch of
we are an international police
force. I guess I'm noticing this
on like television shows have
been extolling the virtues of
like, for example, the FBI team
of Dick Wolf production, yeah,
and and Dick Wolf, when he was
doing the law and order series
for NBC, one show after another.
Always showed the FBI is a bunch
of bumbling idiots that came,
came in and interfered with the
local police, who
Adam Curry: would always shoot
and miss, and they
John C Dvorak: were just
terrible jerks. But now he, you
know, he moves on to a series
for, I think it's CBS, called
FBI, the FBI trio. He's got FBI,
FBI most wanted, and then the
one that just makes me shake my
head, FBI International. Oh,
that's interesting. And FBI
International is about the FBI
overseas, mostly in Europe, huh?
Button into everybody's
business, because the FBI is the
only competent worldwide police
force. Then they have to move.
They're in like France, and they
say, you guys don't know what
you're doing, we're going to
take it over. And they take over
investigations in France and in
Italy and in Germany and every
place else. And I'm wondering,
what is this? What are they
trying to tell us?
Adam Curry: By the way, you gave
me a recommendation for a
television show, and I want to
commend you on that
John C Dvorak: Mimi has dish. I
did the same thing with Mimi,
and she had the complete
opposite reaction.
Adam Curry: This is Matlock. No,
yeah. Matlock, yeah. Matlock,
the new Matlock, which stars
Kathy Bates. Kathy Bates,
there's only a pilot episode
out. I loved it. I thought it
was fantastic, and I know
exactly where it's going, and I
love it, even I don't want to
give it away because of the
twist. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: there's got a
twist at the end. You have to
watch the episode one is what
you have to watch. Don't watch
Episode Two. Of you, there
Adam Curry: is no Episode Is
there an episode two yet?
John C Dvorak: That's not that.
I know it'll be out soon. Mimi,
I gave her the same
recommendation with the same
sales pitch I used on you. Yeah,
she hated it, huh? And I
couldn't, I couldn't write
figure out quite why. She never
really explained it fully. She
thought it was a dumb I think
she thought it was stupid. Oh, I
Yeah. And I'm surprised after
she told me that, I said, Oh,
Adam will hate it.
Adam Curry: No. Well, Tina was
hiking in the Smoky Mountains.
It was just me and Phoebe. So,
you know, maybe that's why
John C Dvorak: it could be maybe
rub women the wrong way. Oh,
that's possible. I mean, that's
a possibility.
Adam Curry: I have one last
clip, and I just wanted to make
a an observation about this.
This is a France 24 report on
pig butchering, which everybody
gets these text messages, Hey, I
see this number, but I don't
remember your name. Or, Hey, are
we still going shopping today?
Yeah. Or, hey, you know this
John C Dvorak: after you're
done, I have to tell you I got
my fourth call from the guy
faking like to be some one of my
kids. Oh,
Adam Curry: wow, you're kidding
those Well, I have a comment
after I just took a about a
minute and a half from a rather
long report where they saved
some of these people and and I
had a thought about it, which I
think should be discussed,
because we just see this as
increased. Incredibly annoying
and lame and yes, it's very
successful. It's some say it's
in the 10s of billions of
dollars getting people to invest
in fake crypto scams. By the
way, I think it's only black men
and, you know, people emptying
out their bank accounts,
particularly older people. I've
seen, I've seen these scams.
I've seen how it looks like
you're investing in in Bitcoin,
and you're doing great, and
then, you know, turns out you
were just giving your your money
away, and they get people to get
gift cards. It's crazy. I've
seen people who have been
suckered into this. It really is
effective. It does work. The
worst is the the Asian women
usually named may Mei, who will
string you along for months,
and, you know, show you all the
luxuries that she's living in
and how successful she is with
this crypto thing. And they play
a very long game. So this was a
piece of this report,
Unknown: an enticing insurance
policy, an online romance that
seems too good to be true in the
age of the smartphone, internet
scams are rife with hundreds of
millions of people affected
every year. Sienna Ville has,
over the last decade, become a
stronghold for Chinese mafia
groups that rely on casinos and
prostitution for their wealth.
But these days, online scamming
is by far their most profitable
business. The mafia groups use
torture to force their employees
to work, as can be seen on these
videos shared on encrypted
messaging platforms. This Thai
man says he was effectively
imprisoned by a Chinese mafia
group for six months, he'd
responded to a Facebook ad
promising a well paid job at a
casino in Myanmar, but when he
arrived, his passport was
confiscated. That was the start
of his nightmare. Every
day, we had to find customers on
social media and dating apps. It
was a romance scam make Thai
people fall in love with us and
invite them to invest in
cryptocurrency. These
modern day slaves are set to
number in the hundreds of 1000s
across Southeast Asia. Local
authorities are trying to rescue
them. This police officer is
waiting for news about several
young Filipinas. These women had
been confined for several months
at a scam center near the Thai
border in Myanmar, like many
other workers, they'd responded
to job offers on social media.
The signal is not good, but they
are moving. I'm tracking them on
the phone because they have
shared their live location.
Adam Curry: So as I was
listening to this, I'm like,
Well, hold on a second. These
are human beings, and they
clearly need help. And he said,
right there, that was hard to
understand, but he says they're
sharing their location. There
should be some number that we
can contact or or, you know,
tell these. You know, when a pig
butcher checks in like, Hey, I
know you're a slave, turn on
your location so I can see where
you are, I will alert the
authorities. They can hopefully
come and rescue you. I mean,
this is, this is hundreds of
1000s of people are caught in
these in these prisons. This is
really atrocious. And I don't
want to just stand by and be,
oh, it's just annoying. But this
is bad. I mean, this report was
just filled with, you know, it
had one of those YouTube
warnings like this could be
triggering, and it was horrible.
And there's no
John C Dvorak: actually,
incredulous because, well, I'm
incredulous because I I can't
imagine. They can't get just
hire people to do this instead
of enslaving them.
Adam Curry: Well, it's the
Chinese mob. I mean, they, they
don't care. They don't they
don't like W twos this, like,
I'm gonna beat you with a PVC
pipe. That's what they showed so
anyway, Ed, tell us about your
fourth?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I got just
my five. I've gotten four calls
over the last, I'd say, couple
of years. It only started a
couple years ago. First one was
and I knew about the scam from
the anyway, because I there was
some report on it. And it's also
i My My grandkids are not,
aren't that old that they would
call me up with a big, thick
voice, hey, granddad, hey, I got
arrested. And the scam is
somebody calls and claiming to
be one of your kids. Yeah, and
you're like, if you're dumb, you
said Timmy. Tim is that? You
Billy, yeah.
Adam Curry: Have you tried that.
Have you tried answering like to
John C Dvorak: me, is that you
though I know next time I will I
have not done that, but the
voice does say, hey
Adam Curry: granddad, so at
least they have that. Yeah, the
voice
John C Dvorak: is, hey granddad.
It sounds like I've had three
the Hey granddad, and the other
one was, uh, Hey, Dad. This one
just came. Mean, like two days
ago, Hey dad, and when the guy
called and he says, Hey dad, as
if it was like one of my kids or
something that is been arrested
and he needs money. His base is
the scam is simple. I've been
arrested. I need money. I've
been beaten up by the cops or
whoever. That's why I sound
funny, because this is the way
to supposed to go. Okay, got it,
yeah, I sound like an old
Italian man because I've been
beat up. So I talked. I told
this guy not to hang up. I
really urged him to stay on the
line so I could ask him a couple
of questions about the scam,
because I think I have had guys
from India and elsewhere stay on
the line and talk to me. So I'm
hoping to get this guy because I
asked, I said, specifically. I
said, Stay Don't, don't hang up.
Don't hang up. He says, I gotta,
I gotta find out. I said to him
how often this works. And there
was a long pause. He stayed on
the line for a while thinking he
might say something, then he
hung up. So I didn't get any
information at all.
Adam Curry: There's ways to do
that. I've heard guys. There's
there's some channel where a guy
does this almost for a living,
and he's figured out how to keep
these people on the line. You
basically, you need to get them
to start boasting about what
kind of where you were. You need
to get them be really proud of
how successful they are. And,
yeah, I
John C Dvorak: don't think I
don't have the skill set to do
that. I know there's a lot of
people. In fact, a friend of
mine used to be involved with
their online stuff. She porn,
not porn, if she is part of a
group, and there's a and there's
a bunch of these people out
there that keep scammers on the
line, string them out and try to
scam them. Oh, that is a great
that's it's a very elaborate
situation, and they try to get
money out of him and everything
else, and it's just, it's
fascinating that did the work
that go into it's just as much
work.
Adam Curry: Here's my question,
where's Elizabeth Warren and all
that's my question,
John C Dvorak: too. You and I
have the same question. Where's
Elizabeth Warren or the big
talker? Oh, gonna get Rachel?
Rachel keeps calling me. I'm
Unknown: gonna show my saloon by
donation to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do
that. Oh yeah, that'd be
fabulous.
Adam Curry: We'll have to solve
that another day right now. We
need we've got a lot of things
coming up. We have our meetups,
we have Commodores, we've got
some dames. We got title
changes, birthdays, oh my and
the tip of the day, along with
our end of show mixes. John, why
don't you thank the producers
who came in $50 and above? Yes,
John C Dvorak: in fact, I'm
going to have you read this
note, because this is a Daming
note. This is from Lydia Terry
dominelli, one of our favorites,
from Clifton Park, New York, and
she sends $170 in with a note
that you can read.
Adam Curry: Number four, hold on
a second. I couldn't find it
that easily. Number four, oh
yes, here we go. Mr. Curry, Mr.
Dvorak, thank you for
everything. The sanity is very
helpful. I was
John C Dvorak: I like the way
this is a person who doesn't
space things out correctly.
Interesting. You had to see this
letter to really appreciate the
sanity
Adam Curry: is very helpful. I
was dismayed to hear that no
stripe donations were received
shortly after sending donations
through stripe, so I'm sending a
check. I was very tired when I
made the last donation for my
dame hood, and could not think
of a dame name. Could you please
add dame? And what is this? Pre
K, oh, Dame. Pre K, Tommy, to
my, to my, oh, I'm sorry. Could
you please add dame? How come
you didn't just read the notes?
Come on,
John C Dvorak: Daim, they have a
since I'm old, I have a skill
for reading. Terrible. You
Adam Curry: should be reading
this. Could you please add Dame
pre K to my dame hood, seeing as
I've and
John C Dvorak: by the way,
there's another good example,
Dame hood. It's like game. And
then hood is is lifted above the
word sense, since
Adam Curry: I've caught up on
sleep. Thank you. Are you sure?
Thank you, Terry, or Yeah, Dame
pre K, yes, you will be coming.
Dame pre K, for sure.
John C Dvorak: And I would say
to Linda, Linda, or is it Linda,
Linda? I
Adam Curry: think it's Linda. I
John C Dvorak: think it's Linda.
She does. I think it's Lydia,
isn't it Lydia? Terry, yeah,
we've had her, she's been
donating forever. Yes, she needs
more coffee. Yes, indeed, that's
my guess. Yeah, just he's not
getting enough. Just thinking,
just thinking you might be Yeah.
Lydia Terry dominelli, I have
Pete Federici, Federici Federici
in both the. Bothell. It's
called Bothell, Washington, $117
and needs some jobs and moving
karma for his partner. We'll put
that at the end. Lucas Williams
in Roswell, New Mexico, yes,
$100 the blonde girlfriend in
Charlotte, North Carolina, $100
and he's called. She's calling
out a birthday for her hot
boyfriend, sir scovi,
Adam Curry: yes on the list,
John C Dvorak: yeah, she's the
blonde girl. Okay, omega. Omega
Man and lost wages, Nevada,
another $100 John and Adam. He
has a question here for you,
specific, specifically, I
wouldn't have
Adam Curry: he wouldn't have
stopped, except this is a
question for me. Adam, you are
the pod father, so we need a
judgment rendered on this. My
complaint is that the term
podcast has been hijacked by
YouTubers. I don't believe that
those who are doing video only
shows and uploading them to
YouTube or other platforms are
true podcasts. I have long held
that audio only broadcast was
the only true podcaster. Radio
Station and TV stations both
broadcast, blah, blah, blah, his
question, unless a broadcaster
is using an RSS feed, are they a
true podcaster? Omega Man, by
the way, he has about 18,000
episodes of his podcast. He's
been around for a long time. I
know him,
Unknown: and he's got a
Adam Curry: pet peeve, yes,
well, people call a video with
the people sitting around a desk
with headphones and mics, big
cans and mics. They call that a
podcast. They will be sadly
disappointed when their audience
is pushed away by the algos
because they didn't have an RSS
feed for people to subscribe
with the most powerful sentence
in media today is, or wherever
you get your podcasts, and that
only works if you have an RSS
feed. It can be audio or video.
For all I care, so I
John C Dvorak: consider RSS
that's important, not anything
else. Correct.
Adam Curry: Correct. That is my
judgment, is so be it? Yeah,
well,
John C Dvorak: you probably be
the guy. Okay, Robert, by the
way, I should mention I got
another note from someone. I
don't know if we have it listed
anywhere, but yes, somebody said
that they noticed that Tucker
Carlson is say, claiming that
Joe Rogan invented podcasting.
Adam Curry: I don't think he
said he invented podcasting. I
think he said he was the first
guy, the pioneer, and it's okay,
because it's okay. I don't mind.
I don't think so, and I
appreciate that, that you say
that, well, I'm
John C Dvorak: not saying it
insincerely. No, I know you're
not. I know you're not. Robert
Pett is up. He's in Sacramento,
California, 100 bucks. Lynn
weigert in Maplewood, Minnesota,
$100 and she got a birthday call
up for Shirley, furious at Twin
Cities, yes, and she sent a nice
note. Thank you very much.

this because it's a birthday. My
eldest, Alex, aka surly furious
of the Twin Cities, is having a
birthday on october 11 as my
birthday gift to him. This is an
awesome mom. I'm making a
donation in his name. He didn't
ask for any jingles, but I'd
like to hear the backup to the
backup
Unknown: to the backup, a backup
and a backup to that backup and
a backup to the backup to the
backup. He and his
Adam Curry: beautiful wife are

John C Dvorak: I love it. Ooh,
oh, I picked a good one. Yeah, I

I
Adam Curry: noticed.
John C Dvorak: Let's start at
the bottom. Let's start with
unstable,
Unknown: unstable and unhinged.

John C Dvorak: the voice of a
Brahmin. I.
Oh, now here's one. You will

premium content. Let
Unknown: me see, and I love it,
I
love it, I love it. It's
premium content. I
Adam Curry: think we have a
winner. We're gonna go with
that. And now, ladies and
gentlemen, as always, the most
best part of the show is called
Tip
Unknown: of the day, and
sometimes,
John C Dvorak: okay, so I've
been cooking over a fire for the
last 4050, years.
Adam Curry: What kind of fire
like? Fire, just fire, open
fire, fire, use
John C Dvorak: every kind of
cooking thing ever. Finally, you
look on these, you know,
vertical smokers. They're one of
the best ones, if you ever find
it. They got bought up by
Brinkman, and they ruined the
brand, which is a Cajun cooker,
which is dynamite, vertical
cooker that used charcoal. But
I'm now is the time to start
experimenting, because people
get these traegers, like
Horowitz has one
Adam Curry: of I have a I have a
pit boss.
John C Dvorak: They get, they
become very expensive, really.
Well, the traegers cost.
Adam Curry: I mean, the purchase
price is not it was a gift for
my 60th birthday, so it was
free. So what do you say to
that? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: well, that's a
good deal. So I'm going to, I'm
experimenting now, and I'm
thinking, this is the way to go.
These things are for people are
amateurs. They don't want to
learn how to use a new device,
take a look at the master build.
This is the one I have. Is a
master build, 30 inch digital
electric that uses smoke
pellets, not pellets, but
chunks. You could probably put
smoke pellets in it and it's and
you plug and go, you just set it
for 12 hours of 15 hours or 16
hours, and just let it rip. You
set it outside. It outside,
though, right? Yeah, yeah, duh.
You put it outside. It's like a
dog. It's a funny looking box.
That's like It looks like a
professional smoker, only is
smaller, looks like a small
refrigerator, locks and seals.
And you can put sauce. You can
put four pork butts in it, you
can put two, two, not one, but
212, pound turkeys in the thing,
whoa. It holds a lot. It's got
four racks, and it's a vertical
smoker. And the one model I was
playing with is the M, the m8,
2071117,
Adam Curry: what is this? Run
you this device? What is the
typical well manufactured that
suggested retail, MSRP, the
John C Dvorak: manufacturer
suggested prices, 250
Adam Curry: Oh, that's that's
affordable. It's
John C Dvorak: affordable. I got
it during the Amazon Prime days
for 188 so they put them on
sale. That's
Adam Curry: this one. That's a
Hitler number 88 you bought a
Nazi device, yeah,
John C Dvorak: Heil Hitler. To
what it the 88 but one, but it's
only 188 oh, and this, for
people who want, like the idea
of cooking slow and low, this
thing won't go beyond 270
degrees. It is, basically, is
designed to cook at 220
Adam Curry: to 270 Yeah, that
sounds right. It just when
John C Dvorak: you're using fire
you you have to be careful,
because the fire a good bar, a
Texas style side burner, don't
get up to all of a sudden. You
go out there. And the things at
353, 75, on fire, because
there's fire involved. But, and
this is this, to me, is
something of a cheat, and I just
wanted to learn how to use it,
but I it's a cheat that I think
a lot of people would probably
benefit from, because I don't
think everyone really wants to
cook with wood, burning wood
constantly. And it's just an
idea for people out there that,
yeah, you don't want to spend
the 500 bucks for a Traeger or a
propane device. No,
Adam Curry: the troll room is
saying it's a Zyklon B vertical
smoker. They're sick. John, I'm
sorry. They're sick. They're
sick. They're sick. This is a
good tip, and you can find all
of John's tips@tipotherday.net
or at No agendafund.com, both
outstanding websites. This is a
great tip. I think this, I
really like it that price is,
can't be beat. Can't be beat,
John C Dvorak: I'd say. And it
gives people the opportunity to
cooks, to cook properly, which
is a slow cooking, slow cooking
with smoke. And you can also buy
an accessory for it, which I
haven't bought yet, but I know
I'm going to and eventually, for
about 60 bucks, is an accessory
that slips into where they where
you put your wood chips for
smoking. It slips into that and
smokes on the side. And you can
cold smoke, no commercial.
Smoking is an art Are you done?
Yeah, I'm done.
Unknown: No commercials. More
content.
John C Dvorak: Your no agenda.
Tip of the day, that's
Adam Curry: right, don't worry,

professional. That's right. We
