Now, by the same 122 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,240 token, your social media is also nothing. Have you noticed that 123 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:35,960 ever since Elon purchased X, while you can say anything that 124 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,420 you want, it's meaningless.

Here's, here's the the problem 142 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,300 that he's run into, and I think this is a universal issue, 143 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,160 doesn't play very well in America at all. I'm thinking 144 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:48,940 Swift Boat with John Kerry. And this is Stolen Valor, which many 145 00:06:48,940 --> 00:06:52,180 are quick to point out to me, is punishable by jail. 146 00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:55,780 John C Dvorak: It's a felony according to the the Stolen 147 00:06:55,780 --> 00:06:57,340 Valor Act of 2013 148 00:06:58,660 --> 00:07:03,900 Adam Curry: so what we what we are learning about Tim is that 149 00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:09,660 he kind of waffles a bit and says, you know, I carried a gun 150 00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:15,300 in combat while he was in the Army Reserves for 24 years when 151 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,960 His unit was to be deployed for I think it was, was it Iraqi 152 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,760 Freedom. Or was it the Iraqi? Yeah, he then said, Well, you 153 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,660 know, I'm gonna run for governor or whatever Senate. I think he 154 00:07:29,660 --> 00:07:34,100 was stationed in Italy for a while. But when you say things 155 00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:38,180 like, I don't care about the NRA, I don't want guns like the 156 00:07:38,180 --> 00:07:42,280 one I carried in combat, oops, and this, and they've been 157 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,100 calling, I mean, I've seen none of it is playable as a clip, but 158 00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:48,760 I've seen people.

First of all, I want to 163 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:09,000 make Jesse waters. He has the prime time on Fox. So thus he 164 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,380 has the best writers. 165 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,080 Unknown: He does. Yes, he does. He's got 166 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,880 John C Dvorak: so so it's not a complete abomination to play his 167 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:18,780 analysis. 168 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,980 Adam Curry: Cut him out. Did you cut him out or you left him in? 169 00:08:21,980 --> 00:08:22,280 Because 170 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,320 John C Dvorak: I was No, I left him in because the whole thing 171 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,940 is, it's a package that's very well done. Okay? I usually just 172 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,280 just use it, cut him out, to be honest about it. All right. Now, 173 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,100 exactly what I called this clip another issue, I 174 00:08:37,099 --> 00:08:40,099 Adam Curry: would say, Jesse W on Walt's Stolen Valor. That 175 00:08:40,099 --> 00:08:41,319 seems to be the right one. 176 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,419 John C Dvorak: Sounds like it would be 177 00:08:43,419 --> 00:08:46,479 Unknown: inflated this guy's resume like he inflated his own 178 00:08:46,779 --> 00:08:51,099 waltz. Never went to war, he never saw combat. He was never 179 00:08:51,099 --> 00:08:55,059 in a war zone, but for years, he's been claiming otherwise. 180 00:08:55,660 --> 00:08:58,900 I spent 25 years in the Army, and I hunt. We can do background 181 00:08:58,900 --> 00:09:01,680 checks, we can do CDC research. We can make sure we don't have 182 00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:04,380 reciprocal carry among states, and we can make sure that those 183 00:09:04,380 --> 00:09:07,200 weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where 184 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:07,740 those weapons 185 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,580 were. Waltz, never carried weapons in war. He's lying, and 186 00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:14,400 he's been giving reporters the impression that he's been a 187 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,420 combat vet for years. Bloomberg putting out a piece saying Walt 188 00:09:18,420 --> 00:09:22,340 served quote in Iraq as part of Operation, Enduring Freedom. 189 00:09:22,580 --> 00:09:25,940 Waltz never went to Iraq, and Bloomberg had to retract it. 190 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,640 Waltz put out a campaign press release claiming he was a 191 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,760 veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, claiming he served on 192 00:09:31,820 --> 00:09:35,120 the Afghanistan. He never served in Afghanistan. Waltz told the 193 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,340 Atlantic He just returned from fighting in the war on 194 00:09:37,340 --> 00:09:41,080 terrorism. Waltz never fought anywhere. He abandoned his unit, 195 00:09:41,140 --> 00:09:44,260 left his battalion hanging right before he was supposed to deploy 196 00:09:44,260 --> 00:09:45,160 to Iraq. I 197 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,240 was like, well, for Pete's sake, this guy quit. If I say I'm not 198 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,880 going to do it. I mean, what the hell kind of leadership is that 199 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,060 he was a congressman. He, you know, he bragged that he was, he 200 00:09:55,060 --> 00:09:57,820 was a command sergeant, retired Command Sergeant Major. I'm the 201 00:09:57,820 --> 00:10:01,620 highest ranking person ever. In the in the house, and, you know, 202 00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:05,040 all this lie that he was telling. And there was lots of 203 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,160 public, you know, lots of cards coming in the mail, you know, 204 00:10:08,460 --> 00:10:10,980 for him to be elected, they said, right, honor, he's a 205 00:10:10,980 --> 00:10:14,160 retired Command Sergeant Major just tooting his own horn, just 206 00:10:14,820 --> 00:10:17,580 hanging on the coattails of people that actually are command 207 00:10:17,580 --> 00:10:20,360 sergeant majors that went through all the process and put 208 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,480 all the time in Stolen Valor is really what it is. 209 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,420 Adam Curry: So when you get this from Fox, it was kind of to be 210 00:10:26,420 --> 00:10:31,520 expected, but when it boils over and flows to CNN, you know, you 211 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,720 have an actual problem. And here's the fact checking going 212 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,520 on at CNN waltz 213 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,800 Unknown: did make a comment speaking to a group. He's done 214 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,880 it a couple of times where he has used language that has 215 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,380 suggested that he carried weapons in a fighting situation. 216 00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:50,440 As you know, with your contact with the military. I know from 217 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,740 coming from a military family, there is a difference between 218 00:10:53,740 --> 00:10:57,760 being in a combat area, being involved at a time of war, and 219 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,540 actually being in a position where people are shooting at 220 00:11:00,540 --> 00:11:04,380 you. There is no evidence that at any time, Governor Walz was 221 00:11:04,380 --> 00:11:07,800 in a position of being shot at, and some of his language could 222 00:11:07,860 --> 00:11:12,000 easily be seen to suggest that he was so that is absolutely 223 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,420 false. When he said that about about gun rights out there. 224 00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:19,020 Adam Curry: So to trolls cotton gin, I see you who say, Who 225 00:11:19,020 --> 00:11:23,240 cares? This is it's the media always picks our winners and 226 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,780 losers. This this actually matters. We are, huh, media 227 00:11:26,780 --> 00:11:30,140 deconstructionists, so you're listening to the wrong podcast 228 00:11:30,140 --> 00:11:32,780 if you don't care. This is exactly Get 229 00:11:32,780 --> 00:11:35,240 John C Dvorak: off. Get off. Get off. That drawer room, get out. 230 00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:40,180 Adam Curry: This is exactly what you don't want. In the age of 231 00:11:40,180 --> 00:11:43,900 media picks your leaders or your representatives, and it's so 232 00:11:43,900 --> 00:11:48,460 pathetic when you see Tina Smith, who is the representative 233 00:11:48,460 --> 00:11:52,420 from Minnesota trying to do this. Well, here 234 00:11:52,420 --> 00:11:56,620 Unknown: is Tim Walz, who enlisted when he was 17 years 235 00:11:56,620 --> 00:12:01,260 old. He served in the National Guard for 24 years, and I'm not 236 00:12:01,260 --> 00:12:05,520 aware of any military service that JD Vance has ever served. 237 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,760 So let's just make the comparison there and what 238 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,140 happened in the tragedy of the killing of George Floyd and then 239 00:12:13,140 --> 00:12:16,500 the unrest. Okay, pardon me for that. 240 00:12:19,020 --> 00:12:21,500 Adam Curry: Jim Acosta is correcting you. You've really 241 00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:24,740 messed up as a Democrat. So 242 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,380 John C Dvorak: that's for sure. It 243 00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:31,700 Adam Curry: is really unbelievable and not credible 244 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,300 that this guy was not fact checked on this point. That 245 00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:39,620 makes no sense, or they were in such a hurry to get just anybody 246 00:12:39,620 --> 00:12:43,900 in anybody but someone who would win, because that's what it 247 00:12:43,900 --> 00:12:44,560 looks like. 248 00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:48,820 John C Dvorak: Well, I will mention that this was supposedly 249 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,480 put this guy was picked and chosen and put in by Eric 250 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:58,420 Holder, who is the head of the of the choosing committee, one 251 00:12:58,420 --> 00:13:01,440 man choosing committee, and he, of course, is connected to 252 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,860 Obama. And as I mentioned the newsletter, there is some 253 00:13:04,860 --> 00:13:07,920 thought that Obama is still irked about this whole thing, 254 00:13:07,980 --> 00:13:12,840 that that Kamala should not be the person in this position at 255 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,120 all, and he's sabotaging the campaign. 256 00:13:16,740 --> 00:13:20,480 Adam Curry: Yeah, I'll buy that. I really will. I mean, it just 257 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,680 it's so odd that this would not be checked because there's video 258 00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:29,900 of veterans going to his office in like, 10 years ago, saying, 259 00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:34,700 hey, you know, this is not cool, what you're doing here when, I 260 00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:38,120 don't know if that was as senator or as governor. No, he 261 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,180 Unknown: was a congressman. Oh, Congressman, I'm 262 00:13:40,180 --> 00:13:45,220 Adam Curry: sorry. So either way, it's like, and you know, 263 00:13:45,220 --> 00:13:49,300 some of the the media is just, well, this, this is our guy. 264 00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:52,240 Let's pick up on anything we can. He's joyful. The whole, the 265 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,080 whole campaign is 266 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,480 John C Dvorak: true. Joyful is my favorite. And 267 00:13:55,540 --> 00:14:00,040 Adam Curry: I've heard that pluf, pluf is now, is on the 268 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,480 Yes, the campaign. So Plouffe is a, he's a, he's the guy that 269 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,460 makes all these that makes all of these campaign stops look 270 00:14:08,460 --> 00:14:11,040 like the real deal, and he knows what he's doing. He was Obama's 271 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,900 guy, so they're doing a good job with that, but him in but even 272 00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:19,140 if you look at the at the YouTube numbers on the which is 273 00:14:19,140 --> 00:14:24,200 Joe Biden's YouTube account of the stream of of the 274 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:29,360 announcement. There's only, like 50,000 views. So, you know, 275 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,860 something smells bad. But let's get to meet the candidate, the 276 00:14:33,860 --> 00:14:36,920 VP candidate. I haven't asked John. We don't have an ask John 277 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,080 jingle, unfortunately, we should ask John. All right. Ask John. 278 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,500 All right, John, here we go. This is an ask John question. 279 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,280 Let me just make sure we have the right one loaded up here. 280 00:14:48,340 --> 00:14:48,640 But in 281 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,400 Unknown: Minnesota, just like in Wisconsin, we respect our 282 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:59,080 neighbors and the personal choices they make, even if, even 283 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,520 if we wouldn't make. The same choices for ourselves, because 284 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,860 we know there's a golden rule. Now, 285 00:15:05,220 --> 00:15:07,800 Adam Curry: whenever I see Tim waltz walking around, he's 286 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,220 always putting his hair hands together in prayer, emoji 287 00:15:11,220 --> 00:15:13,860 fashion like, Oh, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, thank you 288 00:15:13,860 --> 00:15:17,760 Master. Yes. So what do you think his gold we've heard of 289 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,100 the golden rule. What is Tim Waltz's golden rule. 290 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,160 John C Dvorak: Think on your neighbors 291 00:15:26,540 --> 00:15:29,180 Adam Curry: during covid, you might think you might be had 292 00:15:29,180 --> 00:15:31,520 John C Dvorak: a call in line so you could, if you saw your 293 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,340 neighbor walking the dog, you can call it in and have him 294 00:15:34,340 --> 00:15:38,240 arrested. Well, that's, that's the good neighbor policy of Tim 295 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,380 Walt. Well, 296 00:15:39,380 --> 00:15:42,460 Adam Curry: you'd think when he says golden rule, you'd think he 297 00:15:42,460 --> 00:15:45,940 would say, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. 298 00:15:45,940 --> 00:15:51,040 That's even Rob Reiner knows that's the golden rule, but here 299 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,920 is the golden rule of your potential future vice president. 300 00:15:53,980 --> 00:15:54,160 But 301 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,100 Unknown: in Minnesota, just like in Wisconsin, we respect our 302 00:15:57,100 --> 00:16:04,200 neighbors and the personal choices they make. I even if, 303 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,500 even if, we wouldn't make the same choices for ourselves, 304 00:16:07,740 --> 00:16:11,160 because we know there's a golden rule, mind your own damn 305 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:11,580 business. 306 00:16:17,820 --> 00:16:20,600 John C Dvorak: There's your new golden rule, yeah, mind your own 307 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,360 damn business, and if you see anybody walking their dog, call 308 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,380 our hotline. 309 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,700 Adam Curry: Yeah, I got, I got several notes from, from people 310 00:16:28,700 --> 00:16:34,220 in Minnesota, Minnesota, by the way, which is sue for Sky 311 00:16:34,220 --> 00:16:38,480 colored waters. Supposed to be a beautiful, beautiful state. 312 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,020 John C Dvorak: I've been to 10,000 lakes. I've been there 313 00:16:41,020 --> 00:16:42,220 numerous times. Yes. 314 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,580 Adam Curry: First of all, says our producer, Thomas, Don't 315 00:16:45,580 --> 00:16:48,820 believe the hype. He's America's dad or Minnesota Nice. He's the 316 00:16:48,820 --> 00:16:51,400 type that will have his administration send a lawsuit to 317 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,640 a single mother of four wrapped in a bow right before Christmas 318 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,120 for simply refusing to go along with his covid lockdown. He's 319 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,900 the type of good neighbor that sets up a snitch line for people 320 00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:03,900 to report those that are not following his mandates. He is 321 00:17:03,900 --> 00:17:06,720 the type of person that promotes having drag shows in our state 322 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,440 capitol building. Oh, that's entertaining. He made Minnesota 323 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,980 a trans sanctuary for those to be brought into the state and 324 00:17:13,980 --> 00:17:16,500 have the gender reassignment surgeries without the parents 325 00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:20,300 consent. He forces all schools to have tampons in the boys 326 00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:26,360 restroom. So clearly Thomas from the from the Free State of 327 00:17:26,360 --> 00:17:32,060 Minnesota, is not very happy with no Tim Walsh, now what the 328 00:17:32,060 --> 00:17:36,860 thing that I find very odd is that the the mainstream M, 5m 329 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,780 they are crediting him with coming up with the weird term, 330 00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:41,440 yes. 331 00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:45,340 John C Dvorak: This is a, this is a very common this is 332 00:17:45,820 --> 00:17:49,000 everybody says that yes, yes. And, in fact, I think even if 333 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,800 you go to his wiki page, you'll see that 334 00:17:50,860 --> 00:17:53,440 Adam Curry: well, because Wikipedia is, of course, the 335 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,280 book of knowledge. 336 00:17:54,820 --> 00:17:57,520 John C Dvorak: Well, true propaganda, just beside the 337 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:58,060 point. Let's 338 00:17:58,060 --> 00:18:00,240 Adam Curry: see what NBC does here. This morning, the 339 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,060 Unknown: new Democratic ticket is off and running vice 340 00:18:03,060 --> 00:18:05,880 president Kamala Harris and her new running mate, Minnesota 341 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,020 Governor Tim Walz setting out on a swing state tour. Why walls? 342 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,260 Sources tell NBC News The two had strong chemistry when they 343 00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:17,220 met last Sunday. Harris, sources say, was swayed in part by walls 344 00:18:17,220 --> 00:18:18,120 is biography, 345 00:18:19,860 --> 00:18:22,040 Adam Curry: swayed by his biography, 346 00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:24,740 Unknown: walls also repeating that now popular attack line 347 00:18:24,740 --> 00:18:28,460 that first got him attention among many Democrats, these guys 348 00:18:28,460 --> 00:18:31,880 are creepy and, yes, just weird as hell. But according to a new 349 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,320 poll, 71% of Americans say they don't know or have an opinion on 350 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,600 walls. So now the race is on from both sides to define him. 351 00:18:40,660 --> 00:18:43,300 Adam Curry: That's also something that is not very well 352 00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:46,420 or discussed at all on the mainstream is name recognition. 353 00:18:46,420 --> 00:18:48,940 This is always a thing that they that they add in like, Oh, you 354 00:18:48,940 --> 00:18:52,240 have to name recognition. Name wreck. No one. No one was 355 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,480 talking about Tim waltz, except Kara Swisher, who said he would 356 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,780 be a horrible pick. But I'm sure by the time pivot comes out on 357 00:18:58,780 --> 00:19:02,400 Friday, he'll be a great pick. There's no doubt, because she is 358 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,560 the most wishy washy of them all. Here's here's. NPR, yeah, 359 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,960 Unknown: he's the one that coined the phrase weird, or the 360 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,260 viral meme weird, in describing Donald Trump and JD Vance. So 361 00:19:13,260 --> 00:19:15,600 tell us about Tim Walz. Who is he? Well, he's 362 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,420 Minnesota Governor. He was born and raised in rural Nebraska. 363 00:19:18,420 --> 00:19:20,640 He's in his second term as Minnesota Governor. He's the 364 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,460 head of the head of the Democratic Governors 365 00:19:22,460 --> 00:19:25,640 Association. So there's some thought that he has some ability 366 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,420 to raise some money, bring some cash to the ticket as well. He's 367 00:19:29,540 --> 00:19:32,960 a veteran of the Army National Guard, and, you know, we know he 368 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,780 didn't really know Harris very well before these past couple of 369 00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:39,080 weeks, but impressed her. And he does have these connections on 370 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,040 Capitol Hill, so he's also kind of a governing pick as well. 371 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,660 And, you know, really, as noted him coining this phrase, weird. 372 00:19:47,140 --> 00:19:50,140 A lot of this is about messaging. He's very good at it. 373 00:19:50,860 --> 00:19:54,040 And he's really somebody who, two weeks ago, was not on the 374 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,240 tips of people's lips for who could get this job, but clearly, 375 00:19:58,480 --> 00:19:59,560 you know, talked his way 376 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,040 into it. With that and with his personality, talked 377 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,820 Adam Curry: his way into it, with his personality. Ah, this 378 00:20:05,820 --> 00:20:10,380 is dynamite. Well, of course, even we were convinced that it 379 00:20:10,380 --> 00:20:13,980 would not be waltz. I mean, I still held on for a hopeful Wes 380 00:20:13,980 --> 00:20:18,360 Moore, just to give Moe the benefit. But that didn't happen, 381 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,940 and Shapiro was what everyone thought would be the pick. And 382 00:20:23,060 --> 00:20:25,220 that didn't happen. Here's CNN. I just think it 383 00:20:25,220 --> 00:20:28,280 Unknown: was weird. It turned out not to be as a false a note 384 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:35,060 as I thought it might be, to do this roll out in Shapiro's home 385 00:20:35,060 --> 00:20:37,520 state, if you're not going to pick Shapiro, they could have 386 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,800 done this roll out in Michigan. They could have done this roll 387 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,160 out in Wisconsin, someplace where there wasn't one of the 388 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,400 finalists wasn't from, so it wouldn't seem like a, you know, 389 00:20:45,460 --> 00:20:51,040 in your face kind of move. But also, even if it's a second 390 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,060 order or third order, you know, issue, the fact that a lot of 391 00:20:55,060 --> 00:20:57,520 people sometimes boosted by the Trump campaign, we're now 392 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,960 learning, but a lot of people in the Democratic Party and on the 393 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,620 very online guys, Diane, jeez, singled out Shapiro because he's 394 00:21:04,620 --> 00:21:07,320 Jewish, and they did single him out because he's Jewish. He 395 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,780 doesn't have any positions on Israel that are different from 396 00:21:09,780 --> 00:21:13,260 any other people he's competing with or from Kamala Harris. But 397 00:21:13,260 --> 00:21:17,820 the whole genocide Josh thing, the fact that Walt seemed seems 398 00:21:17,820 --> 00:21:20,580 like the safer pick than Shapiro, tells you something 399 00:21:20,580 --> 00:21:22,980 about the problems running through the Democratic Party. 400 00:21:22,980 --> 00:21:23,600 Democratic Party. 401 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,140 Adam Curry: I mean, this, this has to be sabotaged. There's 402 00:21:27,140 --> 00:21:31,460 just this guy has so much nasty garbage hanging off of him. 403 00:21:32,180 --> 00:21:33,740 John C Dvorak: It's good. I think there's, there's an 404 00:21:33,740 --> 00:21:36,680 element of that. But I do have some comment about the Shapiro 405 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,980 non pick, because it was lined up. That's what they were going 406 00:21:39,980 --> 00:21:43,300 to do in Pennsylvania? Yes, and I was totally convinced it was 407 00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:46,300 going to be Shapiro. But What? What? It turns out, this has not 408 00:21:46,300 --> 00:21:50,620 been discussed except very obscurely, and you'll never find 409 00:21:50,620 --> 00:21:55,540 it. Shapiro was for school vouchers, and the teachers union 410 00:21:55,540 --> 00:21:58,480 basically put their foot down. So you're not picking this guy. 411 00:21:59,200 --> 00:21:59,440 Oh, 412 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,200 Adam Curry: I believe that. Yeah, of course, that's not 413 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,240 discussed. Why? Why bring any information to the people that 414 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,020 would be wrong? Yeah, and they're pretty powerful. That 415 00:22:10,020 --> 00:22:11,880 lady who screams and yells, what's her 416 00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:15,000 John C Dvorak: name? Oh, from two both the groups have ladies 417 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,600 that scream they see the California or the NT, the 418 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,200 National Teachers Association, and the other one, they both 419 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,940 have screamers. Now the thing is, the Shapiro did speak at the 420 00:22:25,940 --> 00:22:29,180 event, and I have to say, and I can see why they call him the 421 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:35,360 Jewish Obama. He has the same cadence. He does the same 422 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:41,560 structure. He does the 12345, repeating himself in a certain 423 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,580 kind of a way that very Obama esque. Obviously, there's a 424 00:22:45,580 --> 00:22:49,720 speaking coach that teaches this, and he's, he's really 425 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,320 good, but no, he's 426 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,080 Adam Curry: out well. So here, here's some, some, some of the 427 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:56,680 nasty dirt. 428 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,360 John C Dvorak: By the way, he can't be too happy. 429 00:22:59,020 --> 00:23:01,140 Unknown: He's joyful. He's not happy. He's joyful. There's a 430 00:23:01,140 --> 00:23:03,420 big difference. Big difference. Big difference. He 431 00:23:03,420 --> 00:23:05,220 John C Dvorak: can't be too joyful. I don't think he's 432 00:23:05,220 --> 00:23:05,820 joyful. 433 00:23:05,940 --> 00:23:08,460 Adam Curry: Here's another thing that's a problem for him. Alex, 434 00:23:08,460 --> 00:23:11,340 Unknown: critics are also blasting Tim Walz for saying 435 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,760 they are saying that he failed to prevent a massive covid 19 436 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,960 fraud scheme that ensnared the state of Minnesota, the 437 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,200 Minnesota government. What's the latest on that? Well, 438 00:23:21,260 --> 00:23:24,860 Diane, what's interesting, this is one of the largest covid era 439 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:30,920 fraud cases that we know of thus far, federal charges filed 440 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,240 against some 70 individuals basically saying that they took 441 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,080 advantage of two different covid era relief programs to the tune 442 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:44,200 of about $250 million now it's important to note that the 443 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:49,060 governor Walz has not been charged or or that even there 444 00:23:49,060 --> 00:23:52,180 haven't even been accusations that he was somehow involved in 445 00:23:52,180 --> 00:23:55,780 this, but the criticism is that he appointed the folks that were 446 00:23:55,780 --> 00:23:59,980 overseeing the handing out of these funds. I can say that an 447 00:23:59,980 --> 00:24:05,280 audit done of the doling out the disbursement of these funds. 448 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,980 Adam Curry: There's this guy trying time to dance around it. 449 00:24:07,980 --> 00:24:08,100 He 450 00:24:08,100 --> 00:24:10,920 John C Dvorak: did. Why this guy can't just get it blurted out? 451 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,260 Is he a professional? Oh, yeah, it gets worse. They 452 00:24:13,260 --> 00:24:16,920 Unknown: can do better, and that any responsibility in that falls 453 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,860 at his feet. But again, this is something that he has not been 454 00:24:19,860 --> 00:24:23,360 wrapped up in he's not, he's not charged, or, or, or faces any 455 00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:27,860 charges or stemming from, from, from, from this case, yeah, no, 456 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,180 Adam Curry: it's dirt, and it's not good for him. Now he does 457 00:24:32,180 --> 00:24:38,480 have the trans kids. This was an unbelievable report, because he, 458 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,500 he, he sounded like a mainstream he, 459 00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:43,480 Unknown: yeah, because he, 460 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,100 Adam Curry: because he turned his his state into a sanctuary 461 00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:52,120 state for kids who want to have transgender surgery without 462 00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:54,940 their parents permission, not a very popular thing. I don't 463 00:24:54,940 --> 00:24:59,080 think anywhere anymore. And listen to this child abuse also 464 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,300 Unknown: standing in that. Sea of people, a parent, transparent 465 00:25:03,540 --> 00:25:05,760 about his family. My partner, Gretchen, Oh, I 466 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,040 Adam Curry: love transparent. You're transparent. You're a 467 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,460 transparent. So transparent, you're transparent. Parent, 468 00:25:11,580 --> 00:25:13,860 Unknown: transparent about his family. 469 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,140 My partner, Gretchen and I are here today. 470 00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:20,300 Adam Curry: Can't even say wife. Can't even say wife. Has to say, 471 00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:24,080 my partner, okay, maybe he's not married, but you know what? 472 00:25:24,380 --> 00:25:26,240 John C Dvorak: I mean, he's like, probably married. I mean, 473 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:31,280 this the kid that is. This the six year old. Yeah, this is so 474 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,840 pathetic about 475 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,780 Unknown: his family. My partner, Gretchen, and I are here today 476 00:25:36,260 --> 00:25:40,040 because we are parents of a trans child. 477 00:25:40,220 --> 00:25:44,800 Their child is six years old, and she was as excited to be at 478 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,060 a boring capital on spring break as any six year old kid could be 479 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,960 squirming and fidgeting her way through speeches, hardly aware 480 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:58,240 her existence as why her parents drove five hours today to speak 481 00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:58,900 publicly. 482 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,920 Adam Curry: This is a great setup, hardly aware for 483 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,760 existence, but she knows she's trans. Speak publicly. It's 484 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:11,580 Unknown: 100% personal. I mean, the safety, the happiness of our 485 00:26:11,580 --> 00:26:16,620 child is, is it couldn't be more personal Asher.

Jock, he 543 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:36,680 would, 544 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,220 John C Dvorak: he would go do all kinds of errands. But he was 545 00:29:40,220 --> 00:29:42,760 also the robot. He was also a third character, which I think 546 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,800 was a cat. Oh, yeah, I 547 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,020 Adam Curry: never heard about the cat, but I yeah, I can't 548 00:29:47,020 --> 00:29:47,560 remember the 549 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,480 John C Dvorak: third character, because it wasn't as strong a 550 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,680 character as jock and the robot. But this is what are we supposed 551 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:58,540 to do at that point? Oh, he's a he's a reason. He's a mater. D, 552 00:29:58,540 --> 00:30:01,260 let's make him a major. D, what if he. Wanted to be a girl for 553 00:30:01,260 --> 00:30:04,440 five minutes. What we're gonna do? I mean, this is ridiculous. 554 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,520 Kids do this stuff and you're not. You take it to a point you 555 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,580 don't take it so seriously that you chop their nuts off. 556 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,400 Adam Curry: Okay? No, no, you don't. But in today's world, you 557 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:22,100 know, remember, we're all still incredibly traumatized by covid. 558 00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:26,480 So people are still strange. We have to keep remembering this 559 00:30:26,540 --> 00:30:31,820 stuff happened during covid That made and remember my, my my hair 560 00:30:31,820 --> 00:30:35,900 girl and she says that there's a very high correlation between 561 00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:39,740 people who were wearing masks in the car by themselves for three 562 00:30:39,740 --> 00:30:43,600 years, who also have trans kids. It's, it's part of the same 563 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:48,400 trauma that has been, just been been injected into them. It's 564 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,840 like, it is a four. It's like, MK Ultra. I really think it's, 565 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:53,800 it's related. 566 00:30:55,540 --> 00:30:58,000 John C Dvorak: Well, it's definitely weird. Oh, there you 567 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,260 go. And I hate to use that word I mean. And if you if I say it 568 00:31:01,260 --> 00:31:04,260 again, if I say weird again, call me out and make me stop. 569 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:10,500 Okay, because I don't like the word at all anymore, so I'll say 570 00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:11,400 peculiar. 571 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,120 Adam Curry: Yes, that's a good one. Peculiar. That's peculiar 572 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,400 is that the best word we can come up with, there's got to be 573 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,720 a better one, strange. 574 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:18,900 John C Dvorak: Let 575 00:31:18,900 --> 00:31:22,580 Adam Curry: me see synonyms for let me see weird, 576 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,860 John C Dvorak: similars for weirdness. Let's look at what 577 00:31:24,860 --> 00:31:28,820 they could be weird, okay, but while you're looking that up, I 578 00:31:28,820 --> 00:31:32,540 will, I will say that. 579 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,860 Adam Curry: Listen to this. There's this. Okay, go ahead. 580 00:31:36,860 --> 00:31:39,080 You'll say this, and I'll give you some, some other words. 581 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,660 Really use screwy, bizarre, bizarre, curious, I like 582 00:31:43,660 --> 00:31:50,740 curious, erratic, erratic, quirky, quirky, quirky, quirky, 583 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:56,680 off the wall, off beat queer, huh? That's interesting. That's 584 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:56,980 queer. 585 00:31:56,980 --> 00:31:58,600 John C Dvorak: Maybe that's what they're trying to inject, 586 00:31:58,600 --> 00:31:59,560 bizarro, 587 00:32:00,220 --> 00:32:03,600 Adam Curry: outlandish, wacky, with or without an H, 588 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:06,420 Unknown: kinky. 589 00:32:07,740 --> 00:32:11,220 Adam Curry: I like, I like quirky. Now that's quirky is 590 00:32:11,220 --> 00:32:18,540 good. Quirky, unique anyway. So I realize now that because I 591 00:32:18,540 --> 00:32:22,520 have, I have made a habit of watching these zoom calls, these 592 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,880 phony baloney zoom calls where they say, Oh, this is the 593 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,780 biggest zoom call audience ever. We know it's not true. We know 594 00:32:29,780 --> 00:32:32,960 that you don't have 100 or 200,000 people on a zoom call. 595 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,320 You may have people watching a stream, but that's not all on 596 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:41,200 the Zoom call. So there's some disingenuity there, but Tim 597 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,260 waltz was on the white dudes for Harris, the crackers for Kamala 598 00:32:44,260 --> 00:32:49,060 call. And I have to say, I like this guy for one reason. He's 599 00:32:49,060 --> 00:32:53,200 highly editable, and then he speaks in bursts, and you and 600 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,980 there's enough pause you can you can slap stuff together. So I 601 00:32:56,980 --> 00:33:00,420 took his four minutes and broke it down to one with the punch 602 00:33:00,420 --> 00:33:01,260 line at the end, 603 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,020 Unknown: I'm going to echo that message, that message of hope. 604 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,500 My oldest daughter's name is Hope. That's because my wife and 605 00:33:07,500 --> 00:33:10,560 I spent seven years trying to get pregnant, needed fertility 606 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,220 treatments, things like IVF, things that they would ban. And 607 00:33:14,220 --> 00:33:17,520 so once again, I keep talking about this idea. You're right. 608 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,980 These guys are the anti freedoms. I grew up in a small 609 00:33:19,980 --> 00:33:26,060 town, 400 people, 24 kids in the class, 12 cousins. And I hear JD 610 00:33:26,060 --> 00:33:28,520 Vance trying to talk about what a small town is. There's one 611 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,860 golden rule in a small town. Those of you under from a small 612 00:33:30,860 --> 00:33:33,620 town, mind your own damn business. We don't need it. I 613 00:33:33,620 --> 00:33:37,340 don't know who's asking for this crazy stuff that they're pushing 614 00:33:37,340 --> 00:33:40,280 who's asking to ban birth control? 615 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:41,200 Adam Curry: No one. 616 00:33:41,620 --> 00:33:44,620 John C Dvorak: No, no. He's full of crap. He's a liar this. 617 00:33:44,620 --> 00:33:47,200 Adam Curry: No one. No one is asking for that. Who's 618 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,480 Unknown: asking to raise the price of insulin? 619 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,500 Adam Curry: No one. No one is asking for that. No one. Tim, 620 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,780 Unknown: I'm a legion Club member, and none of the dudes 621 00:33:55,780 --> 00:33:56,440 there are. What's 622 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:57,520 Adam Curry: the Legion club? 623 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,780 John C Dvorak: I have no idea. I've never American Legion. 624 00:34:00,780 --> 00:34:01,680 American Legion. 625 00:34:01,740 --> 00:34:03,300 Adam Curry: They said Legion club. 626 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,700 John C Dvorak: I think he's, that's, I think he shortened it, 627 00:34:05,820 --> 00:34:08,820 but it's got, it's got to be the American Legion for, it's for 628 00:34:08,820 --> 00:34:09,480 veterans. 629 00:34:09,900 --> 00:34:12,120 Unknown: I'm a legion Club member, and none of the dudes 630 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,180 there are asking to cut veterans benefits like Project 2025. 631 00:34:15,660 --> 00:34:19,560 Does. Oh, really. So look, we need to point out 632 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,120 Adam Curry: he's a big look guy, by the way, he's really good at 633 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,160 the look like, look. So look, 634 00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:27,139 Unknown: look, we need to point out to this. The reason rural 635 00:34:27,139 --> 00:34:29,959 America hurts is because robber barons like these guys have come 636 00:34:29,959 --> 00:34:32,779 in there. They undermine the basic social safety net that 637 00:34:32,779 --> 00:34:35,899 makes this country great. So this is preaching to the choir, 638 00:34:35,959 --> 00:34:38,239 but the choir needs to sing. No, 639 00:34:39,260 --> 00:34:42,280 Adam Curry: this guy's as good as Kamala. This like that. This 640 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,100 is preaching to the choir, but The choir's gotta sing. 641 00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:47,140 Unknown: We're not in this alone. The rest of the world 642 00:34:47,140 --> 00:34:49,540 needs us to be here. These guys throwing our names. 643 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,940 Adam Curry: We're not in this alone. The rest of the world 644 00:34:51,940 --> 00:34:54,460 needs us to be here. This guy is good. 645 00:34:54,580 --> 00:34:57,220 Unknown: This is preaching to the choir, but the choir needs 646 00:34:57,220 --> 00:34:59,920 to sing. We're not in this alone. The rest of the world. 647 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,060 Needs us to be here, these guys throwing our NATO allies under 648 00:35:03,060 --> 00:35:05,760 the bus, the idea that they don't care what happens in the 649 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:06,120 rest of 650 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:10,500 Adam Curry: the world, this is completely not true. The he's 651 00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:13,380 basing this on Trump saying if they don't pay, we're not going 652 00:35:13,380 --> 00:35:16,980 to protect so it's not same as throwing your NATO Allies under 653 00:35:16,980 --> 00:35:17,700 the bus not 654 00:35:17,700 --> 00:35:20,040 Unknown: addressing climate change that's going to impact 655 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,360 communities that are less fortunate than anyone else, 656 00:35:23,420 --> 00:35:23,900 though 657 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,480 Adam Curry: that's also not true. They are addressing 658 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,540 climate change. They just don't believe in the hoax, but they 659 00:35:29,540 --> 00:35:30,500 are addressing it, 660 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,440 Unknown: not addressing climate change. That's going to impact 661 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,620 communities that are less fortunate than anyone else. 662 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,380 Those are the things it has to do. We have communities that are 663 00:35:39,380 --> 00:35:42,220 going to pay the price because we don't address it. And for one 664 00:35:42,220 --> 00:35:44,920 thing, don't ever, don't ever shy away from our progressive 665 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,800 values. One person's socialism is another person's 666 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,800 neighborliness. Just do the damn work. Yeah, and that's 667 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,220 Adam Curry: what's going to tank him forever. He's basically 668 00:35:54,220 --> 00:35:57,460 saying one person's No. He's literally saying one person's 669 00:35:57,460 --> 00:36:01,020 socialism is the other person's neighborliness. No, socialism is 670 00:36:01,020 --> 00:36:03,600 socialism. And if you, if you don't understand the 671 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,400 distinction, then just you're dumb. 672 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,160 John C Dvorak: So, so I have some, I have some wall stuff 673 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,320 too, but I want to stick with the Zoom calls for a minute. 674 00:36:10,740 --> 00:36:14,640 Okay, stay with the Zoom call. But I haven't at this at the at 675 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,100 the rollout, when he was introduced, 676 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,080 Adam Curry: I was, well, I was moving on, all right. Well, 677 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,460 we'll do Your will do? I'll come back to the Zoom calls after 678 00:36:22,460 --> 00:36:24,200 your waltz stuff. What you got? Okay, 679 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,500 John C Dvorak: so he comes out and lies about, I have two 680 00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:31,340 clips. First, he lies about Trump. Okay, which is bound to 681 00:36:31,340 --> 00:36:31,940 do, sorry. 682 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,240 Unknown: Donald Trump sees the world a little differently than 683 00:36:35,240 --> 00:36:38,780 us. First of all, he doesn't know the first thing about 684 00:36:38,780 --> 00:36:41,740 service. He doesn't have time for it, because he's too busy 685 00:36:41,740 --> 00:36:47,320 serving himself again and again and again. Trump weakens our 686 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,420 economy to strengthen his own hand. 687 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,900 Right? He must lost money. 688 00:36:54,940 --> 00:36:57,700 Adam Curry: He's not doing very well at that Gambit. Is he? 689 00:36:58,780 --> 00:37:01,680 Unknown: Trump weakens our economy to strengthen his own 690 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:08,340 hand. He mocks our laws. He sows chaos and division, and that's 691 00:37:08,340 --> 00:37:12,720 to say nothing of his record as president. He froze in the face 692 00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:19,920 of the covid crisis. He drove our economy into the ground. And 693 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:24,680 make no mistake, violent crime was up under Donald Trump. 694 00:37:24,860 --> 00:37:26,960 That's not even counting the crimes he committed. 695 00:37:28,820 --> 00:37:31,220 Do you think he writes that himself? 696 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,960 John C Dvorak: I think he does. That's not bad at this point. I 697 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,240 think he does. I mean, eventually, maybe he's going to 698 00:37:38,300 --> 00:37:44,140 bring in some pros, but he is, because I've listened to enough 699 00:37:44,140 --> 00:37:48,640 of him, he's got a pretty good style of it's a kind of a 700 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:53,140 switcheroo punchline style that, yeah, I think it's just natural 701 00:37:53,140 --> 00:37:55,720 to him. He's an asshole. So 702 00:37:56,140 --> 00:37:59,740 Unknown: John, John, you sound like Twitter? Yes, 703 00:37:59,740 --> 00:38:03,000 John C Dvorak: I do. I've been on Twitter. This is him now. He 704 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,780 goes against, he goes up against. He starts condemning 705 00:38:06,780 --> 00:38:08,520 Vance. Oh, okay. 706 00:38:08,580 --> 00:38:11,040 Unknown: Vice President Kamala Harris takes her new running 707 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,600 mate, Governor, well, this is 708 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,220 Wallace versus Vance. 709 00:38:15,420 --> 00:38:18,780 John C Dvorak: Is that the clip you want? Walls versus Oh, okay, 710 00:38:18,780 --> 00:38:21,440 yeah, you can play that. But that's how I thought I had a 711 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,140 different clip. Well, should I not play this? And to go back to 712 00:38:24,140 --> 00:38:26,000 the zoom, you might as well play to get it out of 713 00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:28,940 Unknown: the way, Vice President Kamala Harris takes her new 714 00:38:28,940 --> 00:38:31,940 running mate, Governor Tim Walz, to the battleground states of 715 00:38:31,940 --> 00:38:35,420 Wisconsin and Michigan, but Trump's VP pick, Senator JD 716 00:38:35,420 --> 00:38:38,780 Vance, shows up in the same exact cities to ramp up his 717 00:38:38,780 --> 00:38:41,980 counter messaging entities. White House correspondent. Iris 718 00:38:41,980 --> 00:38:43,180 Tao has more 719 00:38:44,980 --> 00:38:47,740 in their first full day as running mates vice president 720 00:38:47,740 --> 00:38:50,980 Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz came painting 721 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,440 in Wisconsin and later in Michigan, and 722 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:58,240 in 90 days, the nation will know Coach walls by a new title, 723 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,960 Vice President walls, who's just tapped as Harris' VP pick the 724 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,960 day before, continues to highlight his background as a 725 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:07,740 veteran for 726 00:39:07,740 --> 00:39:10,860 24 years, I proudly wear the uniform of this nation, the 727 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,120 former President Trump's running mate, Senator J, D, Vance 728 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,360 traveled to the same exact cities where Harrison walls are 729 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,560 campaigning. Vance criticizing what he calls open border 730 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:22,160 policies, 731 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,240 and I heard just earlier about a criminal who was deported from 732 00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:29,960 this community who came back in and then raped an 11 year old 733 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:30,620 girl and 734 00:39:30,620 --> 00:39:32,180 responding to the attack line, 735 00:39:32,180 --> 00:39:34,280 Adam Curry: taking the high road, huh, calling him weird. 736 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,300 Look, I got my wife 737 00:39:35,300 --> 00:39:37,460 Unknown: here. I've got three beautiful kids at home. I'm a 738 00:39:37,460 --> 00:39:40,280 normal guy who wants to live the American dream and wants all of 739 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,940 you and your kids to be able to live the American dream. If 740 00:39:42,940 --> 00:39:45,160 those people want to call me weird, I think it's a badge 741 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,280 of honor. Earlier today, Vance landed in Wisconsin just minutes 742 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,880 after Harris touched down at the same airport. Vance walked to 743 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,980 Air Force Two then told reporters, 744 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,920 I just wanted to check out my future plane 745 00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,740 the Harris campaign on Wednesday. That's 746 00:39:59,740 --> 00:40:02,460 Adam Curry: not. Fair, they cut off the better part of that. He 747 00:40:02,460 --> 00:40:05,640 said, I just want to check out my future plane. And I figured 748 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,520 you of the press will be lonely because she never stops to talk 749 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,080 to you. That's what 750 00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:12,000 Unknown: he said. Then told reporters, 751 00:40:12,060 --> 00:40:15,840 I just, I just wanted to check out my future plane. The 752 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,080 Harris campaign on Wednesday said it had raised $36 million 753 00:40:19,620 --> 00:40:23,180 since announcing walls as the VP pick. According to a new memo, 754 00:40:23,180 --> 00:40:26,420 the campaign will focus on the so called blue wall states like 755 00:40:26,420 --> 00:40:30,260 Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, and use walls as a key 756 00:40:30,260 --> 00:40:32,300 asset in appealing to rural voters. 757 00:40:33,140 --> 00:40:35,420 I think a better I'm sorry, I 758 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,720 John C Dvorak: was going to just say make two comments about Yes. 759 00:40:39,620 --> 00:40:43,900 First of all wall said in that one speech where he talked about 760 00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:48,880 carrying arms in the in combat, which he never did, he said he 761 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:54,220 was in the army. He never was in the army, national army, the 762 00:40:54,220 --> 00:40:57,040 National Guard is not the Army. Army. It's different, for sure, 763 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,860 it's totally different. Not if you were in the Coast Guard, you 764 00:40:59,860 --> 00:41:02,640 were in the army, you're not. No. The other thing is this 765 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,660 coach thing, which really bugs me when it doesn't come up as 766 00:41:06,660 --> 00:41:10,140 much as it should. Supposedly, it was the coach of the football 767 00:41:10,140 --> 00:41:13,800 team, and the football team went from win list one year to the 768 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,640 net the state championship. He was not the coach of that 769 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:22,460 football team. He was the linebacker coach, a linebacker 770 00:41:22,460 --> 00:41:26,000 coach for a high school football team, is probably just one step 771 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:31,460 above water. Boy, hello. So that's another example. 772 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,220 Adam Curry: Everybody. Check falls. Come on, 773 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,700 John C Dvorak: tech. Check false. It wasn't. JCD, 774 00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:39,020 Unknown: yeah, that's 775 00:41:39,020 --> 00:41:41,980 Adam Curry: good, by the way. I think a better word is cookie. 776 00:41:44,140 --> 00:41:45,160 Those guys are, that's 777 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,740 John C Dvorak: what I like. Cookie we haven't heard since 778 00:41:47,740 --> 00:41:52,060 the days of 77 Sunset Strip, that's all your old timers are. 779 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,280 Adam Curry: What was 77 Sunset Strip, 780 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,320 John C Dvorak: it was a, it was a black and white, late 50s, 781 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:05,220 early 60s. I think TV show about detectives, and there was this 782 00:42:05,220 --> 00:42:08,940 guy Ed kooky Burns, who was actually also a singer. Oh, 783 00:42:08,940 --> 00:42:15,720 great. And kooky was a very popular term in that era. 784 00:42:15,780 --> 00:42:18,600 Adam Curry: Well, I'm bringing it back kooky. I think kooky is 785 00:42:18,660 --> 00:42:23,240 is cool. Kooky is cool. So anyway, so I watched the I 786 00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:28,100 watched the Zoom calls. But I just love this concept, because 787 00:42:28,100 --> 00:42:36,380 it's so dumb. We had the comics, comics for Kamala. I sent a link 788 00:42:36,380 --> 00:42:40,720 to Joe Rogan, and I say, what is this? He says, It's Cox for 789 00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:46,300 camel. Ah, okay, got it. It was organized by Eric Swalwell. The 790 00:42:46,300 --> 00:42:49,660 only thing that was actually kind of funny was John Hamm came 791 00:42:49,660 --> 00:42:52,360 in at the beginning. Who was, you know, arguably one of the 792 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:58,300 biggest stars in Hollywood and and the host from The Daily 793 00:42:58,300 --> 00:43:04,320 Show, Paul Mercurio, another funny guy. He did like, Oh, John 794 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,660 Hamm, you're on the wrong call. And just cut him off. That was, 795 00:43:06,660 --> 00:43:12,120 that was kind of funny. So then we had in in order of 796 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,960 appearance, Swalwell, the funniest guy in California, 797 00:43:16,380 --> 00:43:23,300 Donny Kathy Griffin, sia John Pritzker, another comic, Adam 798 00:43:23,300 --> 00:43:29,120 pally representative, Maxwell frost, Nick's. Nick Offerman 799 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,060 actually have a clip of his if you want to hear it. Tiffany had 800 00:43:32,060 --> 00:43:36,620 dish. She twerked bad. This was really hilarious. Mark Hamill 801 00:43:36,620 --> 00:43:40,840 came back, and at this point, there's only 23,000 people at 39 802 00:43:41,020 --> 00:43:45,940 minutes in who have watched this thing, Lake Bell John Stamos and 803 00:43:45,940 --> 00:43:49,120 Matt friend. And Matt friend did a Howard. He did a decent 804 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,720 Howard, stern impersonation. That was kind of funny, but it 805 00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:56,560 wasn't like hilarious Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow, 806 00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:01,320 then Rosie O'Donnell, who was just moaning about her VRBO. Ed 807 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:06,360 Helms, Phoebe Robinson, Kathy Griffith came back in again. 808 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:11,340 Lisa Ann Walter and Tom Arnold. That was cringy. Kevin Nealon, 809 00:44:11,940 --> 00:44:16,800 oh rip. Kevin Nealon, Jared Moskovitz, he's from Florida. 810 00:44:17,100 --> 00:44:21,980 And George Wallace, and so by 90 minutes, there's only as less 811 00:44:21,980 --> 00:44:26,420 than 21,000 people watching this fabulous zoom call. And here's 812 00:44:26,420 --> 00:44:31,340 an example of the comedy, the comedic stylings here of Ben 813 00:44:31,340 --> 00:44:33,680 Stiller on cucks for Kamala. I just want to 814 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,860 Unknown: let you know I'm gonna match your $150,000 donation. 815 00:44:37,220 --> 00:44:41,500 Everybody's got to get out and vote and donate. And she's also 816 00:44:41,740 --> 00:44:44,800 an historic candidate, you know, it's going to be the first woman 817 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:50,140 president, and that's incredibly exciting. And, you know, she's 818 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,260 Indian, she's black, she's everything you can be more than 819 00:44:53,260 --> 00:44:58,900 one thing. It's incredible. You know, I'm Jewish and Irish. I 820 00:44:58,900 --> 00:45:02,280 wish I was black every. A white, Jewish guy wishes he was black. 821 00:45:03,660 --> 00:45:07,620 You know, it's just get out there and vote and donate and 822 00:45:07,620 --> 00:45:10,380 like, take advantage. This is such an important time right 823 00:45:10,380 --> 00:45:13,080 now, and this, this, this wave of energy that's happening. We 824 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,500 got to keep going with it. So please do everything you can. 825 00:45:16,500 --> 00:45:17,160 Wave 826 00:45:17,220 --> 00:45:18,540 John C Dvorak: areas. Wave 827 00:45:18,540 --> 00:45:21,740 Adam Curry: of hilarious energy. I've got to play some of this 828 00:45:21,740 --> 00:45:23,660 parody that Nick Offerman did 829 00:45:24,740 --> 00:45:30,320 John C Dvorak: before you do that. I contacted mo facts, and 830 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:34,520 I also talked to Horowitz about this, every white Jew wants to 831 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:35,360 be black. 832 00:45:36,860 --> 00:45:39,140 Unknown: And what did you learn? I 833 00:45:39,140 --> 00:45:41,440 John C Dvorak: learned that actually mo had an interesting 834 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:47,860 take, because he said that a lot of young white Jews are into hip 835 00:45:47,860 --> 00:45:52,000 hop and and they kind of want to be black in a certain kind of a 836 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:57,820 hip hop way. They ain't like us. See Drake and yes. And Horowitz 837 00:45:57,820 --> 00:46:00,660 was just like, shake you. Just hear him shaking his head. 838 00:46:02,340 --> 00:46:04,800 Adam Curry: He hung up, didn't? He went, I'm not listening. 839 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,560 John C Dvorak: He was a DM, so, DM, 840 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,500 Adam Curry: so Nick Offerman, do you know Nick often? I've never 841 00:46:10,500 --> 00:46:13,800 seen this guy. He's got, yeah, yeah. He's got side burns like 842 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:20,120 that, Andy and Octo and knock, knock, knock. And he did his you 843 00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,580 just tell me when you want to stop. Maybe after one verse, 844 00:46:22,580 --> 00:46:28,340 you'll be done. He did a parody of Lee Green's, I'm proud to be 845 00:46:28,340 --> 00:46:31,520 an American, which is Trump's signature song. 846 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:42,460 Unknown: When he bought the disabled and war heroes, I look 847 00:46:42,460 --> 00:46:48,460 the other way. He said to march on the Capitol. Well, if the 848 00:46:48,460 --> 00:46:54,820 President says it's okay and I don't mind sex with porn stars, 849 00:46:54,820 --> 00:46:59,740 I'd do it too, if I had the guts. But when it comes to 850 00:46:59,740 --> 00:47:07,620 fucking the furniture. Well, that's just fucking nuts. So I'm 851 00:47:07,620 --> 00:47:15,420 proud to be a Kamala man who has quit the GOP comes. I just can't 852 00:47:15,420 --> 00:47:22,520 abide a man who's tried the 34 felonies, and it's time to stand 853 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:28,460 up and face the facts that the men that I once cheered are a 854 00:47:28,460 --> 00:47:34,400 bunch of wingnut white nationalists. Those guys are 855 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:35,780 fucking weird. All right, 856 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,100 Adam Curry: I'm gonna have to stop it here. I mean, this, it. 857 00:47:40,460 --> 00:47:45,040 This is so, I mean, I pray, please don't make Kamala Harris 858 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,800 president, because this is the level of humor we'll have to 859 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:52,000 endure. It'll be, it'll be horrible. And it's, 860 00:47:52,060 --> 00:47:54,580 John C Dvorak: I mean, even cussing, lot of cussing, oh, 861 00:47:54,580 --> 00:48:00,480 Adam Curry: a lot of cussing. And then, and just to try and in 862 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:04,620 hopefulness, in hopefulness by the mainstream media without a 863 00:48:04,620 --> 00:48:05,760 mean Morning Joe and 864 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,000 Unknown: fans of Saturday Night Live have a new role in mind for 865 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:13,860 actor Steve Martin. They want him to play the Democrats vice 866 00:48:13,860 --> 00:48:17,220 presidential nominee Tim Walz in the upcoming season. It's 867 00:48:17,220 --> 00:48:20,540 already confirmed that Maya Rudolph is returning this fall 868 00:48:20,540 --> 00:48:24,800 to portray Kamala Harris. She won an Emmy for the role back in 869 00:48:24,860 --> 00:48:29,000 2022 good. I do think that could work. Oh, 870 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,820 Adam Curry: he'd be fantastic, yeah, because you guys clearly, 871 00:48:31,820 --> 00:48:34,220 clearly, are the party of humor. It's 872 00:48:34,220 --> 00:48:38,240 John C Dvorak: amazing. So, yeah, well, he rejected the 873 00:48:38,240 --> 00:48:39,140 idea, of 874 00:48:39,140 --> 00:48:42,280 Adam Curry: course he did. So there was a very interesting 875 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:48,640 post on X from a woman named Laura Powell, and it's about the 876 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:54,760 money. And so Kamala Harris filed an updated Statement of 877 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,480 Candidacy, which is known as form two, to designate Tim waltz 878 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,200 as her running mate. But there's some things that have happened 879 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:05,340 here. She used Biden's personal candidate ID number instead of 880 00:49:05,340 --> 00:49:08,880 her own, and the federal election committee records are 881 00:49:09,540 --> 00:49:13,020 confusing at this point, her newly filed form two shows up on 882 00:49:13,020 --> 00:49:16,500 Biden's personal FEC page. But if you look at the 2024, 883 00:49:16,980 --> 00:49:20,720 election cycle, Biden is just erased and replaced with Harris, 884 00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:24,440 as if he was never running for president in the first place. So 885 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:29,900 she has this whole rundown, and at a certain point, the 2324 FEC 886 00:49:29,900 --> 00:49:33,800 record for Biden for president, aka Harris for president, is 887 00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,040 linked to two presidential candidates. Both are named 888 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:42,460 Kamala Harris. So the synopsis of this and the whole rundown is 889 00:49:42,460 --> 00:49:46,480 in the show notes. It's a win win for the for the Democrat 890 00:49:46,540 --> 00:49:50,200 elites. Either way, if she somehow wins, then all of the 891 00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,560 money, which you know, we know, is coming from very small 892 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,200 sources, but split up through act blue, we have some proof of 893 00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,920 that keeps flowing to all of them, connected through the. 894 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:00,180 It's, 895 00:50:00,180 --> 00:50:03,720 John C Dvorak: well, it's just to clarify, small number of 896 00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:04,140 sorts, yeah, 897 00:50:04,140 --> 00:50:08,640 Adam Curry: a small number, but, but a big but big, big numbers, 898 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:09,000 big, 899 00:50:09,060 --> 00:50:12,720 John C Dvorak: big bucks, if you probably overseas so China. If 900 00:50:12,720 --> 00:50:13,320 she wins, 901 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,360 Adam Curry: then all the money, of course, goes back to everyone 902 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,600 who donated win. You know, favors. That's how it works. If 903 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:25,460 she loses, then this $310 million they have, which was, 904 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,460 includes the campaign cash the original Biden for President 905 00:50:28,460 --> 00:50:32,600 Horde, they can then dole out to themselves over time, however 906 00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:36,020 they wish, and they don't have to deal with Biden anymore. So 907 00:50:36,020 --> 00:50:40,240 they just get to keep all the money. It's it's it. I mean, I 908 00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:42,640 don't really understand it, but that's why I put on the show 909 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,140 notes. Everybody can look at it, 910 00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,600 John C Dvorak: yeah, I'd like to understand it better, yeah. I 911 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,460 Adam Curry: mean, it's boring for me to just read it to you. 912 00:50:48,460 --> 00:50:49,780 So that's why I'm not gonna, right, uh, 913 00:50:50,860 --> 00:50:53,320 John C Dvorak: Biden's got to get some VIG out of that. 914 00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,680 Adam Curry: Well, you know, Trump is out there saying that 915 00:50:56,740 --> 00:50:59,680 Biden is so let me do it. Maybe. Do I have a clip of that? Let me 916 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,340 see. I think I may have a clip. Let 917 00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,220 Unknown: me see if this is it. Generally, we don't bother to 918 00:51:11,220 --> 00:51:15,720 read the at former President Donald Trump's deranged social 919 00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:19,800 Adam Curry: media. But this time, it's groovy. But 920 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:23,600 Unknown: this one is so unstable and so unhinged, it's important 921 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,080 that Americans maybe know just how imbalanced the Republican 922 00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:33,320 nominee is. So here goes Trump writes in full quote, this is 923 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:37,100 the most radical left duo in American history. There has 924 00:51:37,100 --> 00:51:42,340 never been anything like it, and there never will be again crazy. 925 00:51:43,060 --> 00:51:49,000 Come up blah is indeed crazy. I hear there is a big movement to 926 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:53,080 bring back crooked Joe. What are the chances that crooked Joe 927 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,840 Biden, the worst president in the history of the US whose 928 00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:59,560 presidency was unconstitutionally stolen from 929 00:51:59,740 --> 00:52:04,260 him by come blah blah Barack Hussein, Obama, crazy, Nancy 930 00:52:04,260 --> 00:52:09,480 Pelosi, shifty, Adam Schiff, crying. Chuck Schumer and others 931 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,900 on the lunatic left crashes the Democratic National Convention 932 00:52:12,900 --> 00:52:15,240 and tries to take back the nomination, beginning with 933 00:52:15,240 --> 00:52:19,440 challenging me to another debate he feels that he made a 934 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:23,000 historically tragic mistake by handing over the US presidency, 935 00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:27,320 a coup to the people in the world he most hates, and he 936 00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:28,580 wants it back now. 937 00:52:29,240 --> 00:52:33,500 Adam Curry: Now that's not that crazy. I like that post. Can you 938 00:52:33,500 --> 00:52:38,240 imagine Biden starting off the DNC by saying, I got robbed. I 939 00:52:38,240 --> 00:52:40,120 got hairy legs. I got robbed. He 940 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,700 John C Dvorak: hasn't got the guts to do that, but it's a 941 00:52:42,700 --> 00:52:46,060 funny idea, because there's some thought that, for example, this 942 00:52:46,060 --> 00:52:52,120 came up in a recent one of these, one of these shows on TV, 943 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:57,340 the idea that Biden was put into the position long before the 944 00:52:57,340 --> 00:53:01,440 convention to do the debate, knowing he was going to fail So 945 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,920 they get rid of him. It was all part of a grand scheme, maybe 946 00:53:04,980 --> 00:53:08,760 orchestrated by Obama, because he wanted to, you know, gets 947 00:53:09,060 --> 00:53:13,380 back in, in some sort of power position. And so you the idea 948 00:53:13,380 --> 00:53:16,860 was to bring Biden out to debate Trump, and don't Jack him up, 949 00:53:16,860 --> 00:53:19,620 because where was jacked up Joe, because we expected him to be 950 00:53:19,620 --> 00:53:23,420 like he was at the at the State of the Union, State of the 951 00:53:23,420 --> 00:53:26,360 Union, where he's all yelling and screaming and all jacked up. 952 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,940 He wasn't even close to that. They may have even given him a 953 00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:34,280 set, you know, some sort of a donor, a barbiturate for all you 954 00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:39,020 know. You know, here's your shot, Joe, huh? And the idea was 955 00:53:39,020 --> 00:53:42,820 so he would have an epic fail so they could get rid of him, even 956 00:53:42,820 --> 00:53:47,260 though he took a little while before he took took the hint. So 957 00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:52,360 it's all within the realm of possibility. Well, we'll see. 958 00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:56,440 He's been jobbed, is the theory he's been job was suckered, 959 00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,560 because if they let this thing go, and that had the debate 960 00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:01,860 until after Trump totally 961 00:54:01,860 --> 00:54:05,820 Adam Curry: got suckered into that, yeah, well, and also, 962 00:54:05,820 --> 00:54:08,220 look, I mean to say, No, I won't debate you before the 963 00:54:08,220 --> 00:54:10,560 convention. It would have been a whole mess. I can see his 964 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:14,700 thinking. But yeah, they, they, that was a check, you know, not 965 00:54:14,700 --> 00:54:16,200 checkmate, but check they 966 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,420 John C Dvorak: also make sense, if you think about that, with 967 00:54:18,420 --> 00:54:22,280 that theory in mind, 40 to think about the way the CNN, the two 968 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:26,540 stooges at CNN, who are Trump haters, both of them, at some 969 00:54:26,540 --> 00:54:29,720 point, I think, called Trump Hitler. They were so neutral 970 00:54:29,720 --> 00:54:32,600 about the whole thing, and they just, did they do any fact 971 00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,120 checking, nothing. They just let the thing go. It all 972 00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,520 Adam Curry: go. Oh, what you mean? The media is in on it. Oh 973 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:42,160 no. Oh no, don't say it. Here's a, just a quick clip from 974 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:46,360 O'Keeffe media. OMG. O'Keefe Media Group proving back, 975 00:54:46,420 --> 00:54:50,560 proving how this act blue scam works. It's, it's quite simple, 976 00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:51,100 actually. 977 00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,280 Unknown: Hello, everyone. I'm sitting here with my mother and 978 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,100 I decided to take a look at the election watch to see if my 979 00:54:57,100 --> 00:55:00,300 mother's name was safe and secure. What her name. Being 980 00:55:00,300 --> 00:55:03,600 used for contributions, and we found out that she was being her 981 00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,480 name was being used over 30 times from Bernie Sanders 982 00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,540 contributions, Mom, did you make any contributions to Bernie 983 00:55:09,540 --> 00:55:11,100 Sanders Absolutely not. 984 00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,400 Angie Jones, from Indiana, submitted a video of her mother, 985 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:18,780 Alberta Jones, who goes by Mrs. Robert Jones, saying she did not 986 00:55:18,780 --> 00:55:23,060 donate to act blue or a Bernie Sanders pack, as the FEC records 987 00:55:23,060 --> 00:55:23,420 show, 988 00:55:23,660 --> 00:55:26,480 from 2019 to 2024 so 989 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:30,260 you're positive you didn't make any I'm very positive I have 990 00:55:30,260 --> 00:55:34,760 bank records that show where my contributions went. Great. So 991 00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,100 you would turn those records over to me to prove that you 992 00:55:37,100 --> 00:55:39,560 didn't make these contributions. Yes, indeed. 993 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:43,060 Alberta Jones gave O'Keefe media her consent to show these bank 994 00:55:43,060 --> 00:55:47,500 records proving during the time period of 2019 no donations were 995 00:55:47,500 --> 00:55:48,580 given to act blue at all. 996 00:55:48,580 --> 00:55:53,080 How does that make you feel that your name was used? I feel 997 00:55:53,140 --> 00:55:53,980 violated. 998 00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:59,920 Adam Curry: And by the way the Go Red or whatever Jared Kushner 999 00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:04,440 is running, I'm sure they do the same thing. It would be crazy to 1000 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:08,280 think they don't. It's, it's money laundering, yes, well, and 1001 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,580 but we know that the Chi coms are doing that with Obama, with 1002 00:56:11,580 --> 00:56:14,220 the credit cards. This is an old, old scam. 1003 00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,520 John C Dvorak: But of course, it has. They've done nothing to 1004 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,140 stop it. No, 1005 00:56:19,260 --> 00:56:22,340 Adam Curry: are you crazy? No, we're not gonna do that. 1006 00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:27,140 Everybody loves money. I only one more clip, and I want to 1007 00:56:27,140 --> 00:56:31,220 move off of camel and and waltz, because I'm very tired of it, 1008 00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:35,660 and it's all anyone seems to be talking about. But this is very 1009 00:56:35,660 --> 00:56:40,100 weak. This shows an incredible weakness by the Vice President 1010 00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:46,780 when she's heckled by some pro Palestine protesters during her 1011 00:56:46,780 --> 00:56:52,120 speech, she like Obama, I will say, although the media mainly 1012 00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:56,380 cut most of his protest, his his heckling out, we demonstrated 1013 00:56:56,380 --> 00:56:59,260 that throughout, throughout the years, that would never air the 1014 00:56:59,260 --> 00:57:03,180 Sometimes it went on for minutes. Yeah, no, no, no, no, 1015 00:57:03,180 --> 00:57:04,980 no, no, no, no. 1016 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,560 John C Dvorak: Like that. You're in my house.

Obama in my house. Here it is, 1024 00:57:25,820 --> 00:57:26,180 hey, 1025 00:57:26,540 --> 00:57:26,960 Unknown: listen, 1026 00:57:27,740 --> 00:57:32,300 hey, you're in my house. Hey, game on you. You 1027 00:57:32,660 --> 00:57:33,560 shouldn't be doing this. 1028 00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,020 We have a lot of jingles with that. 1029 00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,360 Adam Curry: I think the Batman is even funnier. Here we go. 1030 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:41,200 Hey, 1031 00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:44,560 Unknown: no, 1032 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:48,700 I've told you that you're in my house. If you're eating the hors 1033 00:57:48,700 --> 00:57:53,560 d'oeuvres and drinking the booze, we'll have to take you 1034 00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:57,280 out to the Batmobile. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Atomic 1035 00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:57,640 batteries. 1036 00:58:02,620 --> 00:58:04,620 Adam Curry: Where? Are these guys who make this stuff all 1037 00:58:06,300 --> 00:58:10,920 right anyway? Comma, not as funny, but she cannot handle 1038 00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:11,940 hecklers tax 1039 00:58:11,940 --> 00:58:15,840 Unknown: breaks to billionaires and big corporations. He intends 1040 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:20,900 to cut Social Security and Medicare. He intends to 1041 00:58:20,900 --> 00:58:25,580 surrender our fight against the climate crisis, and he intends 1042 00:58:25,580 --> 00:58:29,540 to end the Affordable Care Act. You know what? If you want 1043 00:58:29,540 --> 00:58:33,500 Donald Trump to win, then say that otherwise. I'm speaking, 1044 00:58:33,500 --> 00:58:33,680 okay, 1045 00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:40,840 Adam Curry: oh, no. So if you want Donald Trump to win, say 1046 00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:45,160 that otherwise, I'm speaking. I have the microphone. 1047 00:58:46,420 --> 00:58:47,500 John C Dvorak: What were they saying? 1048 00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,740 Adam Curry: They were saying, hey, hey, hey, ho, Kamala, 1049 00:58:50,740 --> 00:58:56,080 you're a ho. They were no, no. They were saying, you know, 1050 00:58:56,080 --> 00:59:00,420 what's the chant is, we see what you did. You know, it's 1051 00:59:00,420 --> 00:59:03,240 basically telling her that she doesn't care about Palestine. 1052 00:59:04,620 --> 00:59:06,420 Unknown: That's what. That's what. It's very typical, 1053 00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,340 John C Dvorak: very well. This is going to be a great 1054 00:59:08,340 --> 00:59:10,740 convention. It should be fun, 1055 00:59:11,100 --> 00:59:15,000 Adam Curry: yeah? But now, now that we've all seen that she 1056 00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:18,840 can't handle hecklers without going all school, Marm on it, 1057 00:59:19,620 --> 00:59:24,800 I'm pretty sure that that there will be all kinds of people in 1058 00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,040 in the crowd. Now, that's what I would do. You 1059 00:59:29,420 --> 00:59:32,900 John C Dvorak: know what I mean? Yeah, she doesn't have, yeah, 1060 00:59:32,900 --> 00:59:35,960 she doesn't have any heckler skills, because she hasn't had 1061 00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:36,800 to deal with them. 1062 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:42,820 Adam Curry: Okay, I want to move to what I'm going to start 1063 00:59:42,820 --> 00:59:46,900 calling the social media wars, because that's what it's turning 1064 00:59:46,900 --> 00:59:51,760 into. And we need to switch over to the United Kingdom, where 1065 00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,600 it's unbelievable to Americans. It's unbelievable what is taking 1066 00:59:55,600 --> 01:00:01,560 place with these with these riots, with. Much depending on 1067 01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:06,660 where you stand, are anti immigration riots or far right 1068 01:00:07,140 --> 01:00:12,780 hooligans, more race riots, race riots. That's another good one. 1069 01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:18,600 And this is quite the challenge for the for the new government, 1070 01:00:19,260 --> 01:00:24,140 and issue, if you recall, they had a meeting. That's where we 1071 01:00:24,140 --> 01:00:30,620 left everything. And here is the prime minister after the 1072 01:00:30,620 --> 01:00:32,960 meeting, after the meeting which they were going to have, and 1073 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,960 have a big meeting. And this is what came out of the big meeting 1074 01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:39,260 Unknown: this morning, which was an opportunity that I took to 1075 01:00:39,500 --> 01:00:42,820 thank the police for their work over the last few days to 1076 01:00:42,820 --> 01:00:45,940 express my support for the police officers who have been 1077 01:00:45,940 --> 01:00:49,660 injured and the communities impacted by this mindless 1078 01:00:49,660 --> 01:00:53,080 thuggery, for a number of actions that came out of the 1079 01:00:53,260 --> 01:00:56,560 meeting. The first is we will have a standing army of 1080 01:00:56,560 --> 01:01:02,580 specialist officers, public duty officers, so we'll have enough 1081 01:01:02,580 --> 01:01:07,260 officers to deal with this where we need them. The second is, 1082 01:01:07,260 --> 01:01:11,100 we'll ramp up criminal justice. There have already been hundreds 1083 01:01:11,100 --> 01:01:15,000 of arrests. Some have appeared in court. This morning, I have 1084 01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,360 asked for early consideration of the earliest naming and 1085 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:22,400 identification of those involved in the process who will feel the 1086 01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:26,000 full force of the law. And thirdly, I've been absolutely 1087 01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:30,140 clear that the criminal law applies online as well as 1088 01:01:30,140 --> 01:01:32,780 offline, and I'm assured that that's the approach that is 1089 01:01:32,780 --> 01:01:37,940 being taken, whatever the apparent motivation. This is not 1090 01:01:37,940 --> 01:01:43,540 protest. It is pure violence, and we will not tolerate attacks 1091 01:01:43,540 --> 01:01:48,400 on mosques or our Muslim communities. So the full force 1092 01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:52,660 of the law will be visited on all those who are identified as 1093 01:01:52,660 --> 01:01:55,900 having taken part in these activities. In relation to the 1094 01:01:55,900 --> 01:01:59,500 police, I am absolutely clear that we will have the officers 1095 01:01:59,500 --> 01:02:03,900 we need, where we need them to deal with this disorder, and 1096 01:02:03,900 --> 01:02:06,840 that is why the standing army has been set up, specialist 1097 01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:10,380 standing army ready to be deployed to support communities 1098 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:15,060 on the question of prisons. Firstly, we're monitoring it on 1099 01:02:15,060 --> 01:02:19,380 a daily basis. I'm appalled we've been put in this position 1100 01:02:19,380 --> 01:02:22,520 by the previous government. That is even a discussion. It's even 1101 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:26,240 a question that you have to ask me, but we will make this work 1102 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,420 and ensure that we've got the places that are needed to bring 1103 01:02:29,420 --> 01:02:32,240 the perpetrators swiftly to justice. So on both those 1104 01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:36,860 fronts, I'm confident that we can absolutely make sure that 1105 01:02:36,860 --> 01:02:40,960 those engaged in this activity do feel the full force of the 1106 01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:41,980 law. So 1107 01:02:41,980 --> 01:02:44,380 Adam Curry: there's a couple of things that really stand out 1108 01:02:44,380 --> 01:02:48,160 here. One is the term standing army. You know, this is what we 1109 01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:52,720 would call a violation of habeas corpus. In the United States, we 1110 01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:56,980 have constitutional laws against deploying army and even calling 1111 01:02:56,980 --> 01:03:02,280 it a standing army is quite severe, and they have indeed 1112 01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:03,120 been deployed 1113 01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,420 Unknown: in Plymouth on the southwest coast of England. Six 1114 01:03:06,420 --> 01:03:10,200 people were arrested and several officers injured by projectiles 1115 01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:14,460 and fireworks launched by far right crowds, police are warning 1116 01:03:14,460 --> 01:03:18,780 that anyone participating in the riots will face prison time. We 1117 01:03:18,780 --> 01:03:23,300 feel as community members deeply affronted by this completely 1118 01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:27,740 unnecessary violent disorder. A conviction for violent disorder 1119 01:03:28,100 --> 01:03:31,400 usually carries a hefty term of imprisonment. Prime 1120 01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:36,080 Minister Keir Starmer says a standing army of 6000 specialist 1121 01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,680 officers has been put on duty to confront the unrest. Officials 1122 01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,760 say much of it has been instigated by disinformation and 1123 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,220 hate speech being spread online. It's 1124 01:03:45,220 --> 01:03:47,920 spread out across telegram channels, many of which were 1125 01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,740 actually created in the aftermath of covid 19, where you 1126 01:03:50,740 --> 01:03:54,580 saw anti lockdown and have really been repurposed in recent 1127 01:03:54,580 --> 01:03:57,880 years, in particular to target migrants. The 1128 01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:01,080 riots broke out last Tuesday in the town of South Court near 1129 01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:05,700 Liverpool, after internet users falsely blamed attack that 1130 01:04:05,700 --> 01:04:09,540 killed three young girls on a Muslim asylum seeker breaking 1131 01:04:09,540 --> 01:04:12,720 protocol. In a bid to counter the misinformation, a British 1132 01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:16,860 court identified the arrested suspect as a 17 year old citizen 1133 01:04:16,860 --> 01:04:20,580 born in the UK to Christian parents from Rwanda. 1134 01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,740 Adam Curry: So you see the move is that's being made here. Is 1135 01:04:24,740 --> 01:04:29,300 very, very clear. The move is, oh, you know, they're targeting 1136 01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:34,160 immigrants on social media. Oh no, oh no. They're hurting their 1137 01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:40,360 feelings on social media. Oh no. This is a very deliberate act 1138 01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:44,740 that is taking place here. This is the UK Director of Public 1139 01:04:45,220 --> 01:04:46,660 Prosecution. The 1140 01:04:46,660 --> 01:04:49,600 Unknown: offense of incitement to racial hatred involves 1141 01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:54,940 publishing or distributing material which is insulting or 1142 01:04:54,940 --> 01:05:00,120 abusive, which is intended to or likely to start racial hate. To 1143 01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:03,480 it. So if you retweet that, then you'll be publishing that, and 1144 01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:06,060 then potentially you're committing that offense. And we 1145 01:05:06,060 --> 01:05:09,600 do have dedicated police officers who are scouring social 1146 01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:14,760 media. Their job is to look for this material and then follow up 1147 01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:18,480 with identification, arrests and so forth. So it's a really, 1148 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:22,760 really serious people might think they're not doing anything 1149 01:05:22,820 --> 01:05:26,480 harmful, they are, and the consequences will be visited 1150 01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:27,920 upon them. So, 1151 01:05:28,220 --> 01:05:31,160 Adam Curry: I mean, it's mind boggling, but they are taking 1152 01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:34,760 what's happening on the streets and people, you know, fighting 1153 01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:39,020 and throwing stuff and burning stuff and rioting, they're now 1154 01:05:39,020 --> 01:05:43,300 just completely focused on online, online, online, online, 1155 01:05:43,660 --> 01:05:46,780 and if you say something hateful or something that hurts 1156 01:05:46,780 --> 01:05:49,780 somebody's feelings and they complain about it, you will get 1157 01:05:49,780 --> 01:05:53,800 arrested. This is a Brit who got arrested for posting a comment 1158 01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:54,880 on Facebook 1159 01:05:56,320 --> 01:06:00,400 Unknown: the times 20 to 314, 40, arresting you on suspicion 1160 01:06:00,460 --> 01:06:04,380 of improper use of the electronics communications 1161 01:06:04,380 --> 01:06:09,420 network and seven Communications Act. Okay, so you do not have to 1162 01:06:09,420 --> 01:06:13,800 say that that main harmony one question second later on for 1163 01:06:13,980 --> 01:06:16,080 anything you do say, maybe given their evidence, do you 1164 01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:20,040 understand that? So I'm actually being arrested? Okay, that's a 1165 01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:24,320 police station, right? Okay, this is in relation to some 1166 01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:27,440 comments that you've made on the Facebook page, 1167 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:30,380 Facebook, Prime Minister, 1168 01:06:32,420 --> 01:06:34,580 we need to ask you some questions about that. 1169 01:06:36,020 --> 01:06:39,920 You said I was going to be arrested under some more 1170 01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:44,140 information, but I'm going to be arrested for posting on Facebook 1171 01:06:44,380 --> 01:06:50,140 some comments that are offensive obscene, and people have made a 1172 01:06:50,140 --> 01:06:54,040 complaint about that, and it's, can you tell me what this 1173 01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:54,880 comment was? So 1174 01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:56,680 what am 1175 01:06:57,820 --> 01:07:00,520 I going to be locked up for tonight? Or, 1176 01:07:02,140 --> 01:07:04,500 Adam Curry: okay, so you just get arrested. They come to your 1177 01:07:04,500 --> 01:07:08,580 house, they arrest you. Now for some insight on this, on what 1178 01:07:08,580 --> 01:07:12,180 you can and cannot post, we turn to the black belt barrister, who 1179 01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:17,100 has a he's very famous in the UK. He's a YouTuber, and he has 1180 01:07:17,100 --> 01:07:22,280 a little rundown of the issues here, which is all based on the 1181 01:07:23,420 --> 01:07:25,520 UK communications law of 2003 1182 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:29,960 Unknown: can you be prosecuted for just sharing content of 1183 01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:33,020 these riots online? I've been tagged a number of times now in 1184 01:07:33,020 --> 01:07:36,380 response to the Sky News article regarding the director pulley 1185 01:07:36,380 --> 01:07:39,800 prosecutions about sharing content of these riots. So let's 1186 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,880 take a little bit of a look at that in follow up to my previous 1187 01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:46,240 videos. If it were just a recording of the overall event 1188 01:07:46,540 --> 01:07:50,620 and it wasn't one specific on one side or another, now that's 1189 01:07:50,620 --> 01:07:53,560 difficult these days, because some of these are very much one 1190 01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:57,100 sided. Then if it were just a general video of the overall 1191 01:07:57,100 --> 01:08:00,720 circumstances, then that is less likely to be stirring up any 1192 01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:04,440 kind of hatred. But if it was a very specific video with 1193 01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:08,220 specific wording which is deliberately intended within 1194 01:08:08,220 --> 01:08:10,980 that video to stir up hatred in the first place, and you're 1195 01:08:10,980 --> 01:08:15,300 sharing it, and it is likely to stir up that hatred in the same 1196 01:08:15,300 --> 01:08:18,780 way, then by redistributing republishing, you might well be 1197 01:08:18,780 --> 01:08:22,820 committing that offense, just as in a defamation case, if you 1198 01:08:22,820 --> 01:08:26,000 republish a statement that was originally defamatory, you are 1199 01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,940 republishing a defamatory statement. You can then be like 1200 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:33,020 liable for that defamatory statement yourself. So this very 1201 01:08:33,020 --> 01:08:36,020 much is an offense, and there are, well, several offenses, 1202 01:08:36,020 --> 01:08:39,740 because under the section the use of words or behavior written 1203 01:08:39,740 --> 01:08:43,600 material, or publishing or distributing written material or 1204 01:08:43,660 --> 01:08:47,740 playing a recording or broadcast and so on. And so, as I said in 1205 01:08:47,740 --> 01:08:50,860 my previous videos, they are obviously taking all of this 1206 01:08:50,860 --> 01:08:54,580 very seriously. So my stark warning to you a couple of 1207 01:08:54,580 --> 01:08:59,560 videos ago was just refrain from commenting if you're not sure of 1208 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:03,660 what you're saying. Refrain from reposting, retweeting, 1209 01:09:03,660 --> 01:09:07,680 republishing whatever videos that might well amount to this 1210 01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:08,520 kind of offense 1211 01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:11,460 Adam Curry: for people who come from the retweets are not 1212 01:09:11,460 --> 01:09:15,360 endorsement land that is not available to you as a defense in 1213 01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,900 the UK, this is the line in the communications law of 2003 1214 01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:23,180 electronic communications which are grossly offensive or 1215 01:09:23,180 --> 01:09:28,340 indecent, obscene or menacing or false for the purpose of causing 1216 01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:33,200 annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to someone 1217 01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:37,340 else. I mean, you might as well just turn off your computer. 1218 01:09:38,540 --> 01:09:41,080 John C Dvorak: But Well, the word annoyance is the key here, 1219 01:09:41,140 --> 01:09:42,100 of course, 1220 01:09:43,359 --> 01:09:45,999 Adam Curry: but that's not even necessary, because this is how 1221 01:09:45,999 --> 01:09:49,479 far they're going. This is the conversation now in the UK, in 1222 01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:53,319 Britain, this is Good Morning Britain. Listen to this as the 1223 01:09:53,319 --> 01:09:56,499 Unknown: police brace themselves for more riots today, in the 1224 01:09:56,499 --> 01:09:59,319 coming days, the role social media has played is under the 1225 01:09:59,319 --> 01:10:02,819 spotlight with. Calls for the big tech giants to take action, 1226 01:10:02,939 --> 01:10:08,819 but should access be limited by government police? If rights 1227 01:10:08,819 --> 01:10:11,879 happening in a place, what would that even look like? Well, 1228 01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:15,780 the government could use what's called packet filtering. So 1229 01:10:15,780 --> 01:10:20,360 that's when access to sites and specific content is blocked by 1230 01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:23,900 Internet service providers. But if they did that, it would be 1231 01:10:23,900 --> 01:10:26,600 unprecedented here in the UK, with restrictions like this, 1232 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:30,500 only seen in author authoritarian countries like 1233 01:10:30,500 --> 01:10:35,720 North Korea, Russia and China, France's President Macron raised 1234 01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:39,140 the idea as something that it might consider last year in 1235 01:10:39,140 --> 01:10:42,640 response to riots there, but it actually never materialized. So 1236 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:42,940 is 1237 01:10:42,940 --> 01:10:46,780 it time to consider doing that? Here we're joined now by 1238 01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:50,800 broadcaster el Sala, he who thinks social media is vital to 1239 01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:53,320 freedom of speech, and entrepreneur Anna Veleta, who 1240 01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:58,660 says a temporary shutdown could stop the spread of information. 1241 01:10:58,660 --> 01:11:00,300 It might work. I think 1242 01:11:00,300 --> 01:11:04,560 so. I think so. I think we should stop it. It's only a 1243 01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:08,760 temporary measure in order to limit the spread of inflammatory 1244 01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:12,600 information, misinformation as well across the United Kingdom 1245 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:16,440 at this point and this I think we should focus in keeping 1246 01:11:16,500 --> 01:11:21,060 people safe and communities safe as well. So my point is just to 1247 01:11:21,060 --> 01:11:25,100 stop it. And I think we consider that in 2011 when David Cameron 1248 01:11:25,100 --> 01:11:29,840 was a prime minister, he did consider imports of Parliament 1249 01:11:29,900 --> 01:11:33,440 at times when there's a need for it to further occur. And as you 1250 01:11:33,440 --> 01:11:36,260 mentioned before, France as well, last year, as recent as 1251 01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:39,440 July, last year, President Macron mentioned that we should 1252 01:11:39,440 --> 01:11:43,960 potentially consider that and for the protection of public, 1253 01:11:44,500 --> 01:11:44,920 you know. 1254 01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:47,620 Adam Curry: So they are massaging the British public 1255 01:11:47,620 --> 01:11:50,500 into accepting this. Yeah, we should just shut it down. We 1256 01:11:50,500 --> 01:11:52,900 should just shut down social media because it's dangerous. 1257 01:11:52,900 --> 01:11:54,880 You know, you're hurting people's feelings. You're being 1258 01:11:54,880 --> 01:12:00,720 an annoyance. And then Elon Musk uncloaks, and I'm starting to 1259 01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:05,220 see the Elon Musk that I always thought he is a man who wants 1260 01:12:05,220 --> 01:12:10,920 great power and and I think that he is moving a lot of people 1261 01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:13,680 think he's great. I don't think he's great at all. I don't like 1262 01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,040 what he's doing. He is riling it all up, and he's trying to be 1263 01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:21,200 Mr. Big man on campus. This is going to end in tears for us 1264 01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:22,460 here in America too, 1265 01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:24,800 Unknown: 1000s of additional police are flooding British 1266 01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:28,220 streets today after a week of race riots across the country, 1267 01:12:28,340 --> 01:12:28,760 far right 1268 01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:31,280 John C Dvorak: mobs have attacked people, mosques, even 1269 01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:34,880 immigration law offices. It's the biggest challenge today for 1270 01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:38,000 UK Prime Minister Kiir Starmer, who took office just a month 1271 01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,500 ago, already, he's in a standoff with Elon Musk about this issue. 1272 01:12:41,500 --> 01:12:41,680 Is 1273 01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,980 Unknown: there any sense that these riots are organized? Do 1274 01:12:44,980 --> 01:12:46,780 they appear to be organized in any way 1275 01:12:46,900 --> 01:12:50,440 the violence is organized in part by the English Defense 1276 01:12:50,440 --> 01:12:53,980 League or EDL? It's an anti Islam group that was thought to 1277 01:12:53,980 --> 01:12:58,060 be defunct, but clearly is not. They're tapping into existing 1278 01:12:58,060 --> 01:13:01,740 prejudices and amplifying them online. Elon Musk himself is 1279 01:13:01,740 --> 01:13:03,540 playing a role in this how? So 1280 01:13:03,540 --> 01:13:04,500 what's he been saying? 1281 01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:08,580 So musk, when he bought Twitter, he restored the accounts of some 1282 01:13:08,580 --> 01:13:11,520 far right figures who had been banned, including one of the 1283 01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,280 leaders of the English Defense League, a man who calls himself 1284 01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:18,060 Tommy Robinson. He's a fascist who's been in and out of prison. 1285 01:13:18,060 --> 01:13:21,680 He and musk have been interacting on X sharing 1286 01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:25,580 conspiracy theories. Mosque wrote to his nearly 200 million 1287 01:13:25,580 --> 01:13:29,780 followers that a UK civil war is inevitable, and he's also been 1288 01:13:29,780 --> 01:13:32,660 sort of taunting the prime minister here, Keir Starmer, 1289 01:13:32,660 --> 01:13:36,320 online accusing Starmer of having a two tier policing 1290 01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:40,600 system that treats white people unfairly. The UK government is 1291 01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:44,140 pleading with Musk to use his platform responsibly. Lives are 1292 01:13:44,140 --> 01:13:45,340 at stake here. He, 1293 01:13:45,460 --> 01:13:48,880 Adam Curry: I mean, he's, he's really, he's trying to make this 1294 01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:52,360 about him, which is, I think is troubling. Well, 1295 01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:56,080 John C Dvorak: I, I'm not buying this. I'm I hate this. Oh, I 1296 01:13:56,080 --> 01:14:01,260 said it, but you're taking uh, Kara swishers approach. 1297 01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:05,100 Adam Curry: You should be very ashamed, very ashamed of what 1298 01:14:05,100 --> 01:14:08,940 you're saying here. Not at all I'm not taking her approach. 1299 01:14:09,300 --> 01:14:12,780 That's, that's, you know what? That's really insulting, because 1300 01:14:12,780 --> 01:14:14,460 I'm not done with my presentation. 1301 01:14:15,540 --> 01:14:18,840 John C Dvorak: But if I I'm taking it from the point I have 1302 01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:23,120 to be I have to interrupt at some point. How, if the 1303 01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:25,400 presentation goes for another hour and you, you kind of 1304 01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:30,140 reverse course, maybe I would change my mind, but I, I'm not 1305 01:14:30,500 --> 01:14:34,460 completely into the idea that Elon is doing much more than 1306 01:14:34,460 --> 01:14:38,120 just supporting his own platform. Yes, because he's 1307 01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:41,140 younger, attack they're going to pull the plug on his platform, 1308 01:14:41,140 --> 01:14:45,100 and probably Facebook too in the UK, and he's not happy about 1309 01:14:45,100 --> 01:14:49,120 that, so he goes after the Prime Minister when 1310 01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:52,240 Adam Curry: I say it's a social media war. It's going to be 1311 01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:58,120 whose social media network runs in which country, if we look at 1312 01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:02,220 Turkey, although the. Good Morning Britain said, Oh, it's 1313 01:15:02,220 --> 01:15:06,480 like North Korea. No, it's like turkey. Elon Musk has been very, 1314 01:15:06,480 --> 01:15:13,440 very friendly to Erdogan, and Erdogan has allowed Twitter to 1315 01:15:13,440 --> 01:15:17,340 remain on this is what it's about to remain available in 1316 01:15:17,340 --> 01:15:21,500 Turkey because Elon has censored accounts that the Turkish 1317 01:15:21,500 --> 01:15:26,540 Government at Erdogan wants him to censor those who weren't on 1318 01:15:26,540 --> 01:15:31,820 board with Erdogan is the other social media company, Facebook, 1319 01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:32,480 digital 1320 01:15:32,480 --> 01:15:35,840 Unknown: fascism. That's what Turkey's president Recep Tayyip 1321 01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:39,740 Erdogan is calling Instagram's behavior after what he denounced 1322 01:15:39,740 --> 01:15:43,180 as censorship by the social media platform and implemented a 1323 01:15:43,180 --> 01:15:46,660 nationwide ban since Friday, while the government didn't 1324 01:15:46,660 --> 01:15:50,320 provide specific reasons, multiple Turkish media platforms 1325 01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:54,160 attributed the ban to Instagram removing images locals posted 1326 01:15:54,460 --> 01:15:58,000 paying homage to recently killed Hamas leader, Ismail hanier, 1327 01:16:01,900 --> 01:16:05,340 these companies, which promote all kinds of immorality, 1328 01:16:05,580 --> 01:16:08,700 prostitution and support for terrorist organizations under 1329 01:16:08,700 --> 01:16:11,760 the bracket of freedom, have openly declared war on the 1330 01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:13,980 glorious resistance of the Palestinian people 1331 01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:15,600 and their heroic sons in 1332 01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:17,040 the virtual world, 1333 01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:21,500 an estimated 50 to 60 million of Turkey's 85 million population 1334 01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:25,220 subscribe to Instagram, which serves as a platform for a wide 1335 01:16:25,220 --> 01:16:28,280 range of commercial activities, raising concerns for many 1336 01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:32,060 Turkish businesses. E commerce experts predict the ban could be 1337 01:16:32,060 --> 01:16:36,560 costing local businesses around 52 million Euros per day. So 1338 01:16:36,740 --> 01:16:39,500 Adam Curry: only Facebook is banned, and not Twitter. This is 1339 01:16:39,500 --> 01:16:42,340 the game that Elon's playing, and it's fine. You can say, oh, 1340 01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:47,140 Elon's great, until he until whatever interests him is not in 1341 01:16:47,140 --> 01:16:47,620 line with 1342 01:16:47,620 --> 01:16:51,460 John C Dvorak: you, what to what interests his his 1343 01:16:52,480 --> 01:16:56,200 Unknown: being, profitability being, no this. There's 1344 01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:58,720 John C Dvorak: money in this. There's money into getting rid 1345 01:16:58,720 --> 01:16:59,800 of Facebook. This 1346 01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:05,100 Adam Curry: is HL hunt. This is, this is, you know, HL Hunt had 1347 01:17:05,100 --> 01:17:08,100 600 radio stations. He didn't care if he lost money on that. 1348 01:17:08,100 --> 01:17:12,600 Elon. Elon's businesses, rockets. This is a power play. 1349 01:17:12,660 --> 01:17:14,760 He has a second piece from NPR here. What 1350 01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:16,200 Unknown: is the UK Government doing? 1351 01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:20,780 So, aside from deploying 1000s more police, speeding up court 1352 01:17:20,780 --> 01:17:24,080 appearances for suspects. The government has a special team 1353 01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:27,680 flagging social media posts that incite violence, and I've 1354 01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:31,100 actually seen this anecdotally. People here show me want to show 1355 01:17:31,100 --> 01:17:33,440 me something they saw on Facebook or Tiktok, and then 1356 01:17:33,440 --> 01:17:37,040 it's been removed. People are being arrested for hate speech 1357 01:17:37,100 --> 01:17:40,780 online. Hate crime laws are being used, and the government 1358 01:17:40,780 --> 01:17:43,840 is looking at officially banning groups like the EDL, just like 1359 01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:45,520 they do for terror groups abroad. 1360 01:17:45,580 --> 01:17:48,760 Adam Curry: So I think his whole play here is to get banned in 1361 01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:52,720 the UK for power here in the US. You know, he's doing a very 1362 01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:57,520 special interview with Donald Trump on on Monday, and Trump is 1363 01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:00,780 now even out there saying, Well, you know, Elon Musk, he's, he's, 1364 01:18:00,780 --> 01:18:04,500 he's now, he's now, for me, so I can't be against electronic 1365 01:18:04,500 --> 01:18:09,060 vehicles. What? What that? Where'd 1366 01:18:09,060 --> 01:18:12,060 John C Dvorak: he do that? Because the last time I heard 1367 01:18:12,060 --> 01:18:15,480 Trump's speech, he still had his anti electric car thing. He 1368 01:18:15,480 --> 01:18:18,600 said, he said the Tesla was great, but he doesn't like 1369 01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,380 electric cars. But so where, where's that? He 1370 01:18:23,180 --> 01:18:26,360 Adam Curry: literally said, he lit I'll tell you. You have a 1371 01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:30,500 clip. No, there's no clip. I have a article. He says, I have 1372 01:18:30,500 --> 01:18:34,940 no choice but to back EVs, because Elon is on my side. Now, 1373 01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:37,940 he literally, where did that? Where did that appear? Then the 1374 01:18:37,940 --> 01:18:40,480 Guardian, The Guardian, it's from one of his guardians. It's 1375 01:18:40,480 --> 01:18:43,900 one of his speeches. John, okay, would you like me to stop the 1376 01:18:43,900 --> 01:18:45,760 show and find it for you? Because 1377 01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:47,620 John C Dvorak: I'm telling you, I've been listening to his 1378 01:18:47,620 --> 01:18:50,200 material, and he's still anti EV. 1379 01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:56,560 Adam Curry: But my point is, he's getting into bed with Elon 1380 01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:59,020 Musk, and I just don't think that's a good idea. 1381 01:19:00,580 --> 01:19:02,940 John C Dvorak: I don't agree with that second part of this. 1382 01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,700 That's what I was just Yes, he is getting into bed with Elon 1383 01:19:05,700 --> 01:19:06,240 Musk, and 1384 01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:10,380 Adam Curry: that's not a good idea, because remember, freedom 1385 01:19:10,380 --> 01:19:14,640 of speech, not freedom of reach. You know, if you think that that 1386 01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,940 x is going to be any good as a publishing platform to get 1387 01:19:17,940 --> 01:19:21,200 anywhere, that's where you're mistaken. It's the Bozo filter, 1388 01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:24,980 that's what's going to be implemented, and I just don't 1389 01:19:24,980 --> 01:19:30,560 like it. I don't care if I'm for for an issue or not. It's that 1390 01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:35,000 is not a public that is not the town square that he keeps 1391 01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:39,980 touting. And you know, so and then he sued this garment 1392 01:19:39,980 --> 01:19:43,840 initiative, and they immediately disbanded. But that doesn't mean 1393 01:19:43,900 --> 01:19:46,720 it doesn't mean advertisers are coming back. They're not going 1394 01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:52,480 to advertise. He told them to f off. It's obvious, so I'm just 1395 01:19:52,480 --> 01:19:55,900 saying people are all people are all jacked up. Oh yeah, you know 1396 01:19:55,900 --> 01:19:59,560 it's good. I can post here. You are among them. Oh, it's by the 1397 01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:00,060 way. Do you. Or 1398 01:20:00,060 --> 01:20:03,540 John C Dvorak: else am I gonna post just a casual thought on a 1399 01:20:03,540 --> 01:20:05,040 thunder feta verse, 1400 01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,980 Adam Curry: write a sub stack? Man, anything? Anything? 1401 01:20:08,460 --> 01:20:10,200 John C Dvorak: I do that too? Yeah, well, I'm 1402 01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:13,080 Adam Curry: for that. I'm for your own blog. You know me, you 1403 01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:16,380 know I it's just it's going to be useless. People think they're 1404 01:20:16,380 --> 01:20:19,560 making a difference, and you're not. Now, I'm not saying you can 1405 01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:22,940 make a difference a mastodon. I'm against micro blogging in 1406 01:20:22,940 --> 01:20:27,800 general. You know, Elon is also removing retweet and like 1407 01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:33,380 counts. Why is he doing that? Do you think you only see how many? 1408 01:20:33,380 --> 01:20:36,500 How many impressions? Because you can easily, easily 1409 01:20:36,500 --> 01:20:40,960 manipulate that. That's why no one can see the impressions, but 1410 01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:44,260 you can go in and see who retweeted and who likes. The 1411 01:20:44,260 --> 01:20:50,200 like counts. He's removing them. This has been announced in your 1412 01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:57,340 favorite magazine, PC Magazine. So all of this is to say that 1413 01:20:57,340 --> 01:21:01,080 social media is now a war between who has the more power 1414 01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:05,160 in which country and for what reason. And it's just not good. 1415 01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:07,980 It's not good for our people, for the people listening 1416 01:21:08,340 --> 01:21:13,020 podcasts are still good. Now your your sub stack, I think, is 1417 01:21:13,020 --> 01:21:13,740 still good. 1418 01:21:14,220 --> 01:21:17,820 John C Dvorak: What do you mean? You think, Well, I 1419 01:21:17,820 --> 01:21:21,140 Adam Curry: have not investigated if, if they limit 1420 01:21:21,140 --> 01:21:22,040 that in any way. 1421 01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:24,500 John C Dvorak: Well, they have it so, I mean, medium, I know 1422 01:21:24,500 --> 01:21:25,460 they do for sure. 1423 01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:26,900 Unknown: Yeah, all 1424 01:21:26,900 --> 01:21:29,360 Adam Curry: of this stuff, all of this centralized stuff that's 1425 01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:34,460 owned by someone else is just no longer good as a place to to do, 1426 01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:37,040 you know, to publish, if you think you're publishing 1427 01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:38,180 something you're not. 1428 01:21:39,980 --> 01:21:42,400 John C Dvorak: Anyway, we have a rare Well, the reason, the 1429 01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,760 reason for using sub stack is this more than just, you know, 1430 01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:49,240 you could, you could put it on your own blog. Yeah, sub stack 1431 01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:53,260 will do promotions that you can't do with your own blog. 1432 01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:56,860 They will, they have a bigger they have a bigger base. They 1433 01:21:56,860 --> 01:21:59,860 have millions and millions of people. And if they you produce 1434 01:21:59,860 --> 01:22:03,720 something that they feel obliged to, because you say, of all of a 1435 01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:06,960 sudden, you've decided to monetize. They want to make 1436 01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:10,500 money off of your monetization, which is how they do it. They'll 1437 01:22:10,500 --> 01:22:14,100 blow out your stuff so you get some more follow it, followers 1438 01:22:14,100 --> 01:22:18,300 and readers. I'm you can't do that in an individual basis. You 1439 01:22:18,300 --> 01:22:20,840 need the leverage. Okay, fine, 1440 01:22:21,380 --> 01:22:24,980 Adam Curry: fine. My point is, these social media sites are 1441 01:22:24,980 --> 01:22:30,980 highly manipulated for reasons that you don't know and and your 1442 01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:33,680 what you think is happening, what you think you're publishing 1443 01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:38,480 your opinion somehow matters. It doesn't. It doesn't on on and a 1444 01:22:38,480 --> 01:22:41,680 lot of people truly believe it. They're sitting four or five 1445 01:22:41,740 --> 01:22:45,520 some eight hours a day thinking they're making a difference for 1446 01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,440 what you're seeing. What other people are seeing is 1447 01:22:47,440 --> 01:22:54,280 manipulated. Is manipulated. It's not good. It's not healthy 1448 01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:58,300 either. And I see you posting way too much. I'm concerned 1449 01:22:58,300 --> 01:22:58,660 about it. 1450 01:22:58,660 --> 01:23:01,260 John C Dvorak: I'm retweeting stuff that is, that's usually 1451 01:23:01,260 --> 01:23:05,640 funny stuff, legal tweet the humorous stuff that will be, I 1452 01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:09,240 don't think I'm making a difference. You're not deluded. 1453 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:09,900 No, you 1454 01:23:09,900 --> 01:23:14,760 Adam Curry: aren't. You aren't. Most people on social media, 1455 01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:18,720 particularly X, who believe that that Elon Musk is the best thing 1456 01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:22,100 ever, and he's standing up for our rights. They are wrong. 1457 01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:26,780 We're going to get hate speech sanctions here you will. He is 1458 01:23:26,780 --> 01:23:32,300 forcing our own government here into making posting on x, not 1459 01:23:32,300 --> 01:23:39,080 anonymous. You watch, put it in the book. Now I'd like to move 1460 01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:43,300 to a counter narrative. Make a note a counter narrative. One of 1461 01:23:43,300 --> 01:23:47,200 our producers sent in a boots on the ground. He is a liberal from 1462 01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:54,280 the UK. His girlfriend, his partner, organizes anti protests 1463 01:23:54,340 --> 01:23:59,260 against the rioters and pro Palestine, and he is no agenda 1464 01:23:59,260 --> 01:24:03,780 listener. And I think it was interesting what he had to say, 1465 01:24:03,780 --> 01:24:06,060 and the audio wasn't bad, so I wanted to play it 1466 01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:08,940 Unknown: in the morning, although it's about five o'clock 1467 01:24:08,940 --> 01:24:12,720 here. I hope this gets to you in time. I listened to the last 1468 01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:16,860 show, and I've been listening forgot about 13 years now, and 1469 01:24:16,860 --> 01:24:20,360 I'm 27 and very thankful for everything that you guys have 1470 01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:23,780 done, you've made me who I am today. My girlfriend is an 1471 01:24:23,780 --> 01:24:28,100 organizer with Socialist Workers parties, the SWP, so a lot of 1472 01:24:28,100 --> 01:24:31,700 the Palestine demos, and increasingly, now a lot of the 1473 01:24:31,700 --> 01:24:35,720 mobilization against the far right. She's, you know, she's at 1474 01:24:36,140 --> 01:24:39,980 spearhead of a lot of that. She went up to Liverpool and a few 1475 01:24:39,980 --> 01:24:43,060 other demos in the north of England. And, you know, 1476 01:24:43,060 --> 01:24:46,960 honestly, the people that are there, you have a few people 1477 01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:51,280 that are obviously concerned about the immigration in this 1478 01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:54,940 country. I mean, I, you know, I'm a family of immigrants, 1479 01:24:54,940 --> 01:24:58,900 Jamaican I'm a descendant of a Jamaican immigrant family in the 1480 01:24:58,900 --> 01:25:03,000 40s, because it's. I got a, yeah, these, these people, they 1481 01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:06,420 have, you know, some of them valid concerns. But a lot of 1482 01:25:06,420 --> 01:25:09,780 those people that are there are, like, football hooligans. She 1483 01:25:09,780 --> 01:25:15,180 saw people with swastikas on one or two, people doing Nazi 1484 01:25:15,180 --> 01:25:20,240 salutes, people who, really, I do feel, have hatred in their in 1485 01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:27,320 their hearts, you know. So I think to claim that as a country 1486 01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:29,780 that you know that we're really sick and tired of this maybe 1487 01:25:29,780 --> 01:25:33,560 isn't true. I am based in London, in the metropolitan 1488 01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:36,920 elite, and, you know, I live in a very multicultural area, but a 1489 01:25:37,460 --> 01:25:40,840 lot of these people that are really up in arms and upset are 1490 01:25:41,380 --> 01:25:45,760 that way because of decades of, you know, disinvestment in their 1491 01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:51,100 communities, not enough schools, not enough hospitals, you know, 1492 01:25:51,100 --> 01:25:54,700 not any jobs because of how the Tories have treated this 1493 01:25:54,700 --> 01:25:57,340 country, how, you know, how labor fucked up a lot of things 1494 01:25:57,340 --> 01:26:01,380 as well. But I definitely don't think that it's the fault of 1495 01:26:01,440 --> 01:26:02,400 immigrants that 1496 01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:06,180 Adam Curry: I just thought that was an interesting take that, 1497 01:26:06,480 --> 01:26:10,620 and it's more like America than I thought. Yeah, we don't like 1498 01:26:10,620 --> 01:26:14,040 the borders being open, but the people in the North have just 1499 01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:17,400 been ignored by all political parties. I would say that makes 1500 01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:20,600 sense. I don't know about the swastikas and all that. I mean, 1501 01:26:20,660 --> 01:26:25,160 yeah, whatever. And calling Tommy Robinson a not that he 1502 01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:30,320 did, but calling Tommy Robinson a fascist is going a bit far. He 1503 01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:32,240 John C Dvorak: just Tommy Robinson, according to some of 1504 01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:35,720 the people that I have over there, is a part of an he's an 1505 01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:38,600 agent. He's an agent of the government. He's an OP. 1506 01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:41,620 Adam Curry: That's what I've heard too. Exactly 1507 01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:44,320 John C Dvorak: they bring him out when they need him. Well, 1508 01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:47,740 Adam Curry: we have Sir Brian of London, runs his blog and talks 1509 01:26:47,740 --> 01:26:51,100 him all the time. So maybe he can let us know what what he 1510 01:26:51,100 --> 01:26:53,980 thinks. I'm sure he will disagree that he's an OP, but I 1511 01:26:53,980 --> 01:27:01,320 can see why he would be seen that way for sure. So this is, 1512 01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:03,960 there's something much bigger happening here that is not 1513 01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:07,920 contained to the UK. In fact, I had we had a dinner. It was kind 1514 01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:17,880 of funny. This caterer in revel catering in in Fredericksburg, 1515 01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:22,280 the chef, Chef Max, he does these kind of, like secretive, 1516 01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:25,820 invite only dinners, and it'll do a, you know, a special menu. 1517 01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:31,280 And this there was a UT from Austin, professor of 1518 01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:37,160 neuroscience and math, tenured, although he's pretty young, 1519 01:27:37,340 --> 01:27:41,200 Tebow. He sat next to me, and he said, Oh man, he's French. He 1520 01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:45,700 says, You have no idea France zero freedom of speech. He says 1521 01:27:45,700 --> 01:27:49,780 if you step over the line, they will have unions come after you. 1522 01:27:49,780 --> 01:27:52,240 They'll have trade organizations. You can't say 1523 01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:56,320 anything, even as a professor, he says it's outrageous. You 1524 01:27:56,320 --> 01:28:00,300 can't do anything in France, and it's just, you know, it's like, 1525 01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:05,940 it's a big the all of Europe, he says, is is completely lost. I 1526 01:28:05,940 --> 01:28:06,540 believe it. 1527 01:28:09,660 --> 01:28:12,180 John C Dvorak: Well, this, everything that we've at least 1528 01:28:12,180 --> 01:28:15,780 brought up so far in this analysis of yours, including the 1529 01:28:15,780 --> 01:28:21,620 Elon stuff, is all related to freedom of speech. Yes, all of 1530 01:28:21,620 --> 01:28:26,840 it. And there has been, and in this, this guy, walls has come 1531 01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:29,660 out and said, and he's against freedom of speech. Yes, 1532 01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:33,380 Unknown: I think I have, uh, I have that clip. Actually. Do you 1533 01:28:33,380 --> 01:28:33,920 have that clip? 1534 01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:39,620 John C Dvorak: I do not have that clip. Um, let me see video 1535 01:28:39,620 --> 01:28:42,760 clip. I've seen it a number of times. Yeah, I retweeted it. 1536 01:28:43,660 --> 01:28:46,360 Adam Curry: I didn't get it from you. Okay, let me see. I 1537 01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:50,440 thought, Where was that? He literally said you don't have 1538 01:28:50,440 --> 01:28:53,740 freedom of speech, or you can't have freedom but maybe you don't 1539 01:28:53,740 --> 01:28:53,980 know you 1540 01:28:53,980 --> 01:28:56,560 John C Dvorak: shouldn't have freedom of speech. Yeah, if you 1541 01:28:57,220 --> 01:29:00,900 are expressing an opinion that's not proven to be true, Miss 1542 01:29:00,900 --> 01:29:06,000 Information. I'm sorry, which is what freedom of speech is really 1543 01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:07,080 all about. Yeah, I 1544 01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:09,840 Adam Curry: don't, I don't have that. I will get it for the next 1545 01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:12,660 show. Yes, but I'm seeing that. We're moving towards that here. 1546 01:29:12,660 --> 01:29:15,480 You're gonna see this, this. This is going to be, well, 1547 01:29:16,860 --> 01:29:18,960 John C Dvorak: we've been moving toward this with the liberal 1548 01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:22,220 governments, yes, the progressives in particular, yes, 1549 01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:28,460 the the CANS cancel culture is, is an element of it, big time, 1550 01:29:28,460 --> 01:29:36,800 and it's been going on. It's at the PC, the PC idea political 1551 01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:40,420 correctness. Political Correctness is, which goes back. 1552 01:29:40,420 --> 01:29:46,060 The first time I heard the term was in 1981 I believe. And it's 1553 01:29:46,060 --> 01:29:49,540 been, it's been in play for a long time, and and political 1554 01:29:49,540 --> 01:29:53,920 correctness is against free speech. This is not, not 1555 01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:56,920 something we discovered on this show in the last 20 years. No, 1556 01:29:56,980 --> 01:30:01,620 not at all. This is at least over. Or 40 years old as a 1557 01:30:01,620 --> 01:30:06,900 movement. And it's and it's like it eats away. Now in England, 1558 01:30:06,900 --> 01:30:10,200 it's, I guess, because they, they have their, I don't know 1559 01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:14,220 what, what's wrong with them. They've just taken it right to 1560 01:30:14,220 --> 01:30:18,180 the right to the to the edge, to the precipice, and then, and 1561 01:30:18,180 --> 01:30:22,520 like your friend from France said it's already taken place in 1562 01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:27,140 most of Europe. So free speech is is now you have to call it 1563 01:30:27,440 --> 01:30:31,580 quirky. It's unusual anywhere in the world. It's kooky. It's 1564 01:30:31,580 --> 01:30:32,180 kooky, 1565 01:30:34,040 --> 01:30:35,420 Unknown: and it will not last. 1566 01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:39,680 John C Dvorak: What free speech? You cannot control a population 1567 01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:43,720 if you have free speech. Oh, well, you actually need hate 1568 01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:45,820 speech to get anywhere. Yeah, well, 1569 01:30:45,940 --> 01:30:48,160 Adam Curry: I don't know if we've, we've been noticing, 1570 01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:51,880 noticing this here, that hate speech. You know, there's hate 1571 01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:57,400 speech. There's no actual law, but that's, oh man, I can't 1572 01:30:57,400 --> 01:30:59,140 believe we don't have that clip of 1573 01:30:59,860 --> 01:31:03,180 John C Dvorak: and funny, the hate speech. Most of the hate 1574 01:31:03,180 --> 01:31:08,280 speech I hear is people hating on Trump, but that does that's 1575 01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:11,700 okay. That's okay. So somehow that's okay hating on Trump or 1576 01:31:11,700 --> 01:31:18,540 JD Vance and and the phony couch anecdote is hating on him. For 1577 01:31:18,540 --> 01:31:21,980 some reason you can hate in one direction, in one direction 1578 01:31:21,980 --> 01:31:23,240 Unknown: only, yes, yes. 1579 01:31:27,740 --> 01:31:31,220 Adam Curry: President Biden is going to do a CBS interview. 1580 01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:38,240 You've got to wonder why I think it comes out on Monday. So right 1581 01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:43,360 before the wait, when is the that's not my when does the DNC 1582 01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:43,840 start? 1583 01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:49,000 John C Dvorak: See the seventh of the ninth? I think of what 1584 01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:51,520 can't be the seventh? NO to NO. That was yesterday. 1585 01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:54,280 Unknown: The ninth. Yeah, 1586 01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:55,960 John C Dvorak: no, it can't. No, I look it up. 1587 01:31:56,020 --> 01:32:01,260 Adam Curry: There we go. Let's see. Does anyone in the troll 1588 01:32:01,260 --> 01:32:05,820 room know these guys are no good? It starts 1589 01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:12,120 John C Dvorak: the 19th the 19th nine involved? Yeah, by the way, 1590 01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:16,320 it was Tony Blair, who was the Prime Minister when that 2003 1591 01:32:17,220 --> 01:32:20,180 law was put in play. Yes, 1592 01:32:21,020 --> 01:32:23,360 Adam Curry: and it's amazing that it really hasn't been used 1593 01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:26,720 until now. But they were very smart. They put in social media 1594 01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:30,860 right there. Said, here's all the things you can't do. This is 1595 01:32:30,920 --> 01:32:35,840 a teaser that was put out of this CBS interview with 1596 01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:39,800 President Biden, a gaffe of epic proportions. The US President 1597 01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:40,360 Joe Biden 1598 01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:42,940 Unknown: has said in an interview with CBS News that 1599 01:32:42,940 --> 01:32:44,920 he's not confident at all there 1600 01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:47,740 will be a peaceful transfer of power to Kamala Harris 1601 01:32:48,040 --> 01:32:52,060 if Donald Trump loses November's election. Now it's his first 1602 01:32:52,060 --> 01:32:55,360 interview since he pulled out of the race. They've released a 1603 01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:58,780 clip early ahead of the full interview, which is to come at 1604 01:32:58,780 --> 01:32:59,440 the weekend. 1605 01:32:59,620 --> 01:33:00,840 Are you confident 1606 01:33:01,860 --> 01:33:06,060 that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in january 1607 01:33:06,060 --> 01:33:06,360 2025 1608 01:33:07,440 --> 01:33:10,920 if Trump wins. No, I'm not confident at all. I 1609 01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:12,660 mean, Trump loses, I'm not confident. 1610 01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:17,880 Adam Curry: I mean, come on, it's like the truth wants to 1611 01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:22,280 come out. Joe, it's obvious if Trump wins, I agree, there's 1612 01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:23,420 going to be mayhem. 1613 01:33:24,500 --> 01:33:27,740 John C Dvorak: You know it now, why? The question is weird. 1614 01:33:27,740 --> 01:33:30,620 Because weird, weird. I used it. Yeah, you didn't say anything. 1615 01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:33,500 Adam Curry: I'm sorry. I barely had time. You caught yourself. 1616 01:33:33,500 --> 01:33:34,040 It's good. 1617 01:33:34,820 --> 01:33:39,260 John C Dvorak: The question is odd, because what are they 1618 01:33:39,260 --> 01:33:42,220 talking about? A peaceful transfer of power. Biden is the 1619 01:33:42,220 --> 01:33:47,320 one in office that has to be transferring the power. Yeah. So 1620 01:33:47,440 --> 01:33:51,100 why would you ask him that? In other words, Joe, are you going 1621 01:33:51,100 --> 01:33:55,240 to stay in power if whatever happens at the election is going 1622 01:33:55,240 --> 01:33:58,780 to be a peaceful transfer of power in 2025 that's pretty much 1623 01:33:59,080 --> 01:34:00,600 like a trick question. That's 1624 01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:07,380 Adam Curry: pretty much what he said. I mean, but why? Why is he 1625 01:34:07,380 --> 01:34:09,480 even doing an interview? This 1626 01:34:09,480 --> 01:34:11,580 John C Dvorak: is, yeah, there's something up with that you met 1627 01:34:11,820 --> 01:34:15,480 the thesis that he's going to, like, throw his hat back in the 1628 01:34:15,480 --> 01:34:18,240 ring at the in the first day of the convention, which he's 1629 01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:22,580 speaking of the first day. Is funny. I don't think it's going 1630 01:34:22,580 --> 01:34:25,940 to happen. I don't think he's got the nerve to do it, let 1631 01:34:25,940 --> 01:34:28,940 alone, I just don't think he has the strength of will at this 1632 01:34:28,940 --> 01:34:31,640 point. Oh, I have the but I like the idea. 1633 01:34:31,700 --> 01:34:34,220 Adam Curry: I have the waltz clip for you. There it is, 1634 01:34:34,220 --> 01:34:34,760 Walt's clip. 1635 01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:37,220 Unknown: I think we need to push back on this. There's, there's 1636 01:34:37,220 --> 01:34:40,900 no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, 1637 01:34:40,900 --> 01:34:43,840 and especially around our democracy, I think we need 1638 01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:49,840 to you can't do that. You can't do misinformation 1639 01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:53,740 John C Dvorak: and hate speech. You put that in there, hate 1640 01:34:53,740 --> 01:34:57,700 speech in Yeah, hate speech is protected by the First 1641 01:34:57,700 --> 01:35:01,800 Amendment. Hello, yeah. Well. So you can't hate on anybody. They 1642 01:35:01,800 --> 01:35:04,860 can hate on Trump all they want, but I guess you can't hate on 1643 01:35:04,860 --> 01:35:08,160 anybody. You can't say that guy sucks, stinks, I can't wait. 1644 01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:10,920 Can't hate them. You can't hate a baseball team that that keeps 1645 01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:13,740 losing. You can't hate a football player that you don't 1646 01:35:13,740 --> 01:35:17,160 like. You can't hate your ex wife. You can't hate on it. 1647 01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:18,120 What? What? Let me ask 1648 01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:20,180 Adam Curry: you a question. Could you argue as a 1649 01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:27,020 constitutional lawyer, could you argue that hate speech is, of 1650 01:35:27,020 --> 01:35:32,600 course, allowed, but that when the Constitution was written? 1651 01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:36,740 Now this is one of those. You know, they didn't have AR 1652 01:35:36,740 --> 01:35:38,060 fifteens back in the day, 1653 01:35:39,500 --> 01:35:41,260 John C Dvorak: but you could own a canon. Hello. 1654 01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:44,860 Adam Curry: But can you argue that, when that was written, 1655 01:35:44,860 --> 01:35:48,100 that you know the right to free speech will not be infringed, 1656 01:35:48,940 --> 01:35:54,100 that that was never anonymous back in the day, because you 1657 01:35:54,100 --> 01:35:57,760 didn't have uh, anonymity in speech 1658 01:35:57,820 --> 01:36:00,420 John C Dvorak: you did if you were a pamphleteer. Okay? All 1659 01:36:00,420 --> 01:36:03,120 right, there you go. Well, that's bull crap. Okay. In fact, 1660 01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:06,900 if you look back in the in the era in the 1800s the amount of 1661 01:36:06,900 --> 01:36:10,320 hate speech back in the day when it came to political was great, 1662 01:36:10,380 --> 01:36:14,220 he's great, was off the rails compared to what we're doing. 1663 01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:16,980 Yeah, it's been tamped down 1664 01:36:18,420 --> 01:36:21,260 Adam Curry: before we take a break. This came out on Sunday, 1665 01:36:21,260 --> 01:36:24,620 when we were doing the show. This interview with with your 1666 01:36:24,620 --> 01:36:30,680 guy, Byron Donalds, yes. George Stephanopoulos, yeah. Did 1667 01:36:30,680 --> 01:36:31,580 Unknown: you see this? 1668 01:36:31,700 --> 01:36:34,400 John C Dvorak: I did. I think it was. I think Stephanopoulos, 1669 01:36:34,460 --> 01:36:36,920 personally, even though the media thinks, Oh, what a great 1670 01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:39,680 job of taking down by No, I think he made a fool out of 1671 01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:40,700 himself just bringing 1672 01:36:40,700 --> 01:36:43,420 Unknown: Republican congressman and Trump ally Byron Donald 1673 01:36:43,420 --> 01:36:46,480 Congressman. Thank you for joining us this morning. Why is 1674 01:36:46,480 --> 01:36:49,180 former President Trump question with Vice President's racial 1675 01:36:49,180 --> 01:36:49,780 identity? 1676 01:36:52,060 --> 01:36:56,320 Well, first George in Chicago, he was responding to a question 1677 01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:59,140 from I believe Rachel Scott, like, this is really a phony 1678 01:36:59,140 --> 01:37:01,920 controversy. I don't really care. Most people don't. But if 1679 01:37:01,920 --> 01:37:04,500 we're going to be accurate, when Kamala Harris went into the 1680 01:37:04,500 --> 01:37:07,320 United States Senate, it was AP that says she was the first 1681 01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:10,380 Indian American United States Senator. It was actually played 1682 01:37:10,380 --> 01:37:12,660 up a lot when she came into the Senate. Now she's running 1683 01:37:12,660 --> 01:37:15,900 nationally. Obviously, the campaign has shifted. They're 1684 01:37:15,900 --> 01:37:19,200 talking much more about about her father's heritage and her 1685 01:37:19,200 --> 01:37:23,120 black identity. But yes, he did mention it in Chicago in 1686 01:37:23,120 --> 01:37:25,040 response to a question from Rachel Scott, 1687 01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:28,280 and you just repeated the slur again. If it doesn't matter, why 1688 01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:29,300 you keep questioning 1689 01:37:29,360 --> 01:37:30,680 Adam Curry: slur, slur. 1690 01:37:32,540 --> 01:37:36,260 John C Dvorak: Being an Indian, American Indian heritage, is a 1691 01:37:36,260 --> 01:37:39,260 slur? Is that? What I think monopolist is saying, 1692 01:37:39,320 --> 01:37:42,040 Adam Curry: and he couldn't get off of it. He could not let it 1693 01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:43,060 get stuck on it. 1694 01:37:43,420 --> 01:37:45,700 Unknown: He just repeated the slur again. If it doesn't 1695 01:37:45,700 --> 01:37:48,100 matter, why do you all keep questioning her identity? She's 1696 01:37:48,100 --> 01:37:51,160 always identified as a black woman. She is biracial. She has 1697 01:37:51,160 --> 01:37:54,220 Jamaican father and Indian mother. She's always identified 1698 01:37:54,220 --> 01:37:55,960 as both. Why are you questioning that? 1699 01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:00,160 Well, George, first of all, this is something that's actually a 1700 01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:03,240 conversation throughout social media. Right now, there are a 1701 01:38:03,240 --> 01:38:05,700 lot of people who are trying to figure this out, but again, 1702 01:38:05,700 --> 01:38:09,000 that's a side issue, not the main issue. The main issue, Sir, 1703 01:38:09,060 --> 01:38:12,060 one second, you just did it. You just did it again. 1704 01:38:12,480 --> 01:38:15,480 Adam Curry: What did he do? I can't figure out. What is George 1705 01:38:15,480 --> 01:38:19,140 Stephanopoulos hearing that we're not hearing he just 1706 01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:21,560 John C Dvorak: same way when I heard this clip of the 1707 01:38:21,560 --> 01:38:22,940 Unknown: United States. Why? Why 1708 01:38:22,940 --> 01:38:26,360 do you, why do you insist on questioning her racial identity? 1709 01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:29,720 You want me to talk I want you to answer my question, yelling 1710 01:38:29,720 --> 01:38:33,020 at George. George, now that you're done yelling at me, let 1711 01:38:33,020 --> 01:38:34,340 me answer. Ooh, 1712 01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:38,120 Adam Curry: yeah, George is going to yell at the black man. 1713 01:38:38,120 --> 01:38:39,680 There's got to be a law against that. I 1714 01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:42,160 Unknown: know you guys like to glom on to this that he talks 1715 01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:46,600 about in jest or in a serious manner for about a minute or so. 1716 01:38:46,660 --> 01:38:50,680 But what you do not cover is the litany of failures of Kamala 1717 01:38:50,680 --> 01:38:53,020 Harris. That's what covering George. 1718 01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:55,720 So questioning somebody's racial identity, if you're a couple a 1719 01:38:55,720 --> 01:38:56,680 couple minutes, is okay, 1720 01:38:58,900 --> 01:39:02,580 George, I'm tell you, again, he brought it up. A P is the one 1721 01:39:02,580 --> 01:39:05,520 that wrote the headline when she first came in to the United 1722 01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:08,160 States Senate, didn't talk about her being black, talked about 1723 01:39:08,160 --> 01:39:11,280 her being the first Indian American senator. AP, brought 1724 01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:13,440 that up. I mean, George, we could have this conversation for 1725 01:39:13,440 --> 01:39:16,620 the entire segment, but none of this matters to the American 1726 01:39:16,620 --> 01:39:17,160 people. If it 1727 01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:19,020 doesn't matter, I don't understand why you keep on 1728 01:39:19,020 --> 01:39:21,800 repeating it, why the President keeps on repeating it. Why those 1729 01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:23,780 introducing the President? Yes, George, actually, 1730 01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:26,120 I'm not the one who keeps repeating it. George, you're the 1731 01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:28,880 one that's bringing it up. Now that's you've done interesting. 1732 01:39:28,880 --> 01:39:29,540 You've done it. 1733 01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:32,360 You've done it three times, every single answer you gave me. 1734 01:39:32,360 --> 01:39:35,480 Now let me finish, sir, every single answer you gave he 1735 01:39:35,480 --> 01:39:36,020 repeated. 1736 01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:39,440 George, that's why I'm pushing back on you. Now, George, you 1737 01:39:39,440 --> 01:39:42,700 right, and the question three times I responded, but and every 1738 01:39:42,700 --> 01:39:46,240 single time you repeat the slur, that is exactly my point. You 1739 01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:48,400 simply can't say that it's wrong. George, 1740 01:39:48,460 --> 01:39:50,860 so then what you're saying? So then what? And I want to get off 1741 01:39:50,860 --> 01:39:53,380 this topic, because it's not the only thing that's going on. But 1742 01:39:53,380 --> 01:39:55,480 George, now you're saying that AP is the one that slurred 1743 01:39:55,480 --> 01:39:57,700 Kamala Harris, because those are the facts. You can go to the 1744 01:39:57,700 --> 01:40:00,480 internet and look at the clips, George, if you want to. Two or 1745 01:40:00,480 --> 01:40:03,660 we can talk about this now. I prefer to talk about the future 1746 01:40:03,660 --> 01:40:04,500 of our country. 1747 01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:07,260 Adam Curry: It's amazing. What's amazing is, here's this tiny 1748 01:40:07,260 --> 01:40:12,840 white guy arguing with a black guy about a woman who claims 1749 01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:17,640 she's black when, and we should define black just say a DOS or 1750 01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:21,620 foundational black, or whatever. But, you know, but not, not what 1751 01:40:21,620 --> 01:40:25,520 he's doing. It's, it's, this is insanity on the airwaves. 1752 01:40:25,700 --> 01:40:28,820 Unknown: AP did not say that Kamala Harris is not black. She 1753 01:40:28,820 --> 01:40:32,900 is biracial. She is Indian, she is black. You continue to repeat 1754 01:40:32,900 --> 01:40:35,600 the fact that you continue to repeat the slur, I don't 1755 01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:38,420 understand why you and the President, it's clear you're not 1756 01:40:38,420 --> 01:40:41,620 going to say that. It's wrong, and you've now established that 1757 01:40:41,800 --> 01:40:45,400 for our audience. Trump also said at the convention that he 1758 01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:47,080 would already January 6, rioters, I 1759 01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:48,640 look for themselves. Let's move on. 1760 01:40:49,780 --> 01:40:52,060 I've already said that. Go ahead, everybody. Let's 1761 01:40:52,060 --> 01:40:53,920 move on. There we go. Go 1762 01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:55,720 on and repeat the slurs again. He 1763 01:40:55,720 --> 01:40:59,920 Adam Curry: repeats the didn't do anything. This is this is 1764 01:41:00,340 --> 01:41:05,280 people, humanity. Sanity is mental illness, by the way, I 1765 01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:08,460 made a big boo boo on the last show explaining the one drop 1766 01:41:08,460 --> 01:41:12,960 rule. I said it exactly the wrong way around the one drop 1767 01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:16,320 rule. I said, if you have one drop of whiteness, you're not 1768 01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:18,780 black. It was exactly the other way around the one drop rule. I 1769 01:41:18,780 --> 01:41:20,720 John C Dvorak: thought you said it right. No, it was the other 1770 01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:24,980 way, which is when I made the reference to the show to do to 1771 01:41:24,980 --> 01:41:30,140 the stage play, Show Boat. Yes, I switched. Punch line was that, 1772 01:41:30,140 --> 01:41:33,320 you know, there was a one drop of black blood. Yes, I 1773 01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:35,960 Adam Curry: I, but I explained it the wrong way. I went back. 1774 01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:36,200 Oh, I 1775 01:41:36,200 --> 01:41:38,540 John C Dvorak: didn't hear you. I've obviously zoned out. So 1776 01:41:40,400 --> 01:41:44,560 Adam Curry: why not? I'll just explain it properly. The one 1777 01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:48,520 drop rule was invented to declare that, legally, a person 1778 01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:53,020 was not white as long as they had one drop of black blood in 1779 01:41:53,020 --> 01:41:57,160 them. That's that's the correct way. That was part of the Jim 1780 01:41:57,160 --> 01:41:59,620 Crow laws, etc. 1781 01:42:00,700 --> 01:42:03,420 John C Dvorak: So anyway, I'm still fascinated by this 1782 01:42:03,420 --> 01:42:09,000 Stephanopoulos. It's dead that should be taken off the air. 1783 01:42:09,060 --> 01:42:13,980 It's, it's, what is this slur? What was the slur? You're not 1784 01:42:13,980 --> 01:42:18,660 black, so that's a slur. Yes, wait, so being, not being black 1785 01:42:18,660 --> 01:42:20,480 is a slur. Now, if, yeah, 1786 01:42:20,540 --> 01:42:23,600 Adam Curry: if you say you're not black, like, well, what 1787 01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:26,300 Byron should have said is, well, was it a slur? Then, when Joe 1788 01:42:26,300 --> 01:42:28,880 Biden said, If you don't fight for me, you aim, you don't vote 1789 01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:31,340 for me, you ain't black, that would have been a real slur. 1790 01:42:31,340 --> 01:42:33,260 Then, which I think it actually was 1791 01:42:34,220 --> 01:42:38,600 John C Dvorak: Byron. I'm sure I like this guy a lot. I think 1792 01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:43,300 he's terrific, but I think he was flat footed, because this 1793 01:42:43,300 --> 01:42:46,600 was out of the blue. It was you weren't prepared for this kind 1794 01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:49,600 of insanity. If you were, you would have had a million what, 1795 01:42:49,660 --> 01:42:52,060 you know, comebacks, but he didn't have any. He was just 1796 01:42:52,060 --> 01:42:54,820 trying to push the guy away. Yeah, it was weird, like a 1797 01:42:54,820 --> 01:42:56,500 madman coming at you. Very 1798 01:42:56,500 --> 01:43:00,580 Adam Curry: weird. Well, with that, I would like to thank you 1799 01:43:00,580 --> 01:43:03,180 for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put 1800 01:43:03,180 --> 01:43:06,180 the C in the Facebook crime, say hello to my friend on the other 1801 01:43:06,180 --> 01:43:07,980 end. He won the only Mr. John 1802 01:43:11,340 --> 01:43:13,560 John C Dvorak: C Devorah show's running too long in the morning 1803 01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:15,720 to you. Mr. Adam curry, tomorrow, ships, sea, boots on 1804 01:43:15,720 --> 01:43:17,760 ground, in the air, sub store Davis, nights out there. 1805 01:43:17,820 --> 01:43:23,960 Adam Curry: Let's count those. What? Oh, we're late. It's my 1806 01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:26,120 fault. We're late. We're late. We're 1917, 1807 01:43:27,500 --> 01:43:29,300 Unknown: it's down. Trolls are down, 1808 01:43:31,700 --> 01:43:33,920 Adam Curry: but there's still almost 2000 trolls, which I 1809 01:43:33,920 --> 01:43:37,940 always find amazing, 2000 trolls listening live, which you can do 1810 01:43:37,940 --> 01:43:41,620 at troll room.io. It's a brand new website. You can listen to 1811 01:43:41,620 --> 01:43:46,600 the live stream 24/7 you control along. You can log in, you can 1812 01:43:46,900 --> 01:43:50,740 post stuff, you can you don't have to log in, and it's all 1813 01:43:50,800 --> 01:43:53,440 pretty much anonymous. I mean, it's one of the last places 1814 01:43:53,440 --> 01:43:56,080 podcasts and troll rooms, that's all. The only place you can 1815 01:43:56,080 --> 01:43:59,020 still be a troll, say whatever you want. All freedom of speech 1816 01:43:59,020 --> 01:44:02,160 allowed here, as far as I know I can't, I can't even kick anybody 1817 01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:05,760 off anymore. I don't have the power. No, the power has been 1818 01:44:05,760 --> 01:44:09,420 removed for me. Why? I don't know. I used to be able to just 1819 01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:12,180 kick someone off and then, you know, and then they can come 1820 01:44:12,180 --> 01:44:15,300 back. You know, I wouldn't ban anybody, but, you know, I like 1821 01:44:15,300 --> 01:44:18,720 kick them off. Just funny. I don't know. I have to talk to 1822 01:44:18,720 --> 01:44:22,820 void zero, maybe, uh, maybe you overstep my powers. It's been 1823 01:44:22,820 --> 01:44:26,540 removed. Maybe I'm not doing it right, isn't it? Slash kick. And 1824 01:44:26,540 --> 01:44:27,560 then you do the name. I 1825 01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:29,120 John C Dvorak: don't know. I don't use that thing. 1826 01:44:30,260 --> 01:44:33,140 Adam Curry: You should, I know? You pop in from time to time. 1827 01:44:33,140 --> 01:44:36,260 You check out. You've said it on the last show you've been in 1828 01:44:36,260 --> 01:44:36,620 there, 1829 01:44:36,860 --> 01:44:38,780 John C Dvorak: check I have been in there, but it was usually 1830 01:44:38,780 --> 01:44:40,600 during somebody else's show. 1831 01:44:42,160 --> 01:44:44,260 Adam Curry: Yes, well, that makes sense. Darren, show, 1832 01:44:44,260 --> 01:44:45,520 probably, you're probably in there. 1833 01:44:45,580 --> 01:44:48,880 John C Dvorak: Oh yeah, Darren, I'm big fan. You can also check 1834 01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:51,940 out this will play enough AC, DC, that's the way I see it. You 1835 01:44:51,940 --> 01:44:55,120 Adam Curry: can also check out the troll room by using a modern 1836 01:44:55,120 --> 01:45:00,180 podcast app. There's many that you can use. The cool. Thing 1837 01:45:00,180 --> 01:45:02,940 about is you get an alert when we go live, so you get the bat 1838 01:45:02,940 --> 01:45:05,400 signal in your app, and then you can listen live. None of the 1839 01:45:05,400 --> 01:45:12,540 legacy apps can do this. And as as you see hate speech, maybe 1840 01:45:12,540 --> 01:45:16,980 not laws, but hate speech actions being taken. It happens 1841 01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:20,780 three or four times a day. There's a podcast kicked off of 1842 01:45:20,780 --> 01:45:25,340 Apple or off of, uh, Spotify. So, you know, do with it what 1843 01:45:25,340 --> 01:45:28,640 you want, but if you like your podcast that you listen to, no 1844 01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:31,700 matter what they say, the modern podcast apps are the way to go. 1845 01:45:31,700 --> 01:45:34,940 It's one of the last places it still can be done that and your 1846 01:45:34,940 --> 01:45:42,640 own blog and maybe sub stack. Um, even though Elon defeated 1847 01:45:42,640 --> 01:45:47,080 the the Garm on what, let me see what 1848 01:45:48,460 --> 01:45:51,640 John C Dvorak: Mark, I praise him for that. Mark separation 1849 01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:53,500 was a scam, yeah, but the American 1850 01:45:53,500 --> 01:45:55,600 Adam Curry: Federation of Advertisers still there. They're 1851 01:45:55,600 --> 01:45:58,600 not they haven't gone anywhere. They just disbanded Garm. He's 1852 01:45:58,600 --> 01:46:04,620 not going to get any advertising that's obvious. Why would he you 1853 01:46:04,620 --> 01:46:08,160 know, advertisers don't want controversy. That's why we never 1854 01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:08,940 What are you eating 1855 01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:12,600 John C Dvorak: a lozenge? Huh? That's why we 1856 01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:14,160 Adam Curry: never took advertising. We knew that it 1857 01:46:14,160 --> 01:46:18,000 would just result in meetings and annoyances, which is 1858 01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:20,900 technically illegal in the UK. You can't annoy me with your 1859 01:46:20,900 --> 01:46:24,260 meeting advertiser. So we knew wouldn't work. So we said, You 1860 01:46:24,260 --> 01:46:27,500 know what, why don't we just go for a value for value model. We 1861 01:46:27,500 --> 01:46:31,160 put it out on even Patreon. People think, oh, Patreon is 1862 01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:34,280 value for value. No, it isn't. Because if you do something 1863 01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:37,220 somewhere else, not even on your own podcast, and Patreon hears 1864 01:46:37,220 --> 01:46:40,780 about it, they will kick you off. They will kick you off, and 1865 01:46:40,900 --> 01:46:44,440 sometimes even hold on to your money, which is horrible, yeah? 1866 01:46:44,440 --> 01:46:47,980 Well, that's illegal, yeah? Well, they can give you 90 days 1867 01:46:47,980 --> 01:46:50,740 or something. There's something weird that they can do if they 1868 01:46:50,740 --> 01:46:54,280 have your money. It's not you can't fight it. It's hard to 1869 01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:58,300 fight the man in that way. So we decided, Hey, give us time, 1870 01:46:58,300 --> 01:47:01,980 talent, treasure, anything that adds up to something that helps 1871 01:47:01,980 --> 01:47:03,360 the show. And of course, yeah, 1872 01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:05,640 John C Dvorak: anything that's about 1/10 of what we would have 1873 01:47:05,640 --> 01:47:06,840 made if we were commercial. 1874 01:47:07,680 --> 01:47:11,220 Adam Curry: Well, yeah, that's true. That's true. We can always 1875 01:47:11,220 --> 01:47:13,620 go commercial. I mean, podcast one wants us. 1876 01:47:14,940 --> 01:47:16,920 Unknown: We could probably make more. I mean, we could make 1877 01:47:16,920 --> 01:47:17,100 more. 1878 01:47:17,100 --> 01:47:19,980 John C Dvorak: I think we can make more by syndicating on the 1879 01:47:19,980 --> 01:47:23,960 TV. I think that idea is something worth well, I see Mimi 1880 01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:25,880 insisted that we follow up. Well, I 1881 01:47:25,880 --> 01:47:27,800 Adam Curry: sent you a whole thing about it. He didn't even 1882 01:47:27,800 --> 01:47:28,640 respond to me. 1883 01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:30,320 John C Dvorak: I didn't see it. No, 1884 01:47:30,380 --> 01:47:34,160 Adam Curry: I respond because I'm I contacted the former 1885 01:47:34,160 --> 01:47:37,820 Disney guy about this, who I thought would be the perfect 1886 01:47:37,820 --> 01:47:41,440 guy. Yeah, what did he say? He hasn't gotten 1887 01:47:42,940 --> 01:47:47,140 John C Dvorak: back to me. Yes, thanks, no, but he set me up. He 1888 01:47:47,140 --> 01:47:50,320 Adam Curry: used to do the, all the deals for Disney. He would 1889 01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:53,920 do all the cable deals and, you know, and we happen to know that 1890 01:47:53,920 --> 01:47:59,080 the prices that you get per household, what? But we can't 1891 01:47:59,080 --> 01:47:59,920 talk, yeah, no, 1892 01:47:59,920 --> 01:48:01,080 John C Dvorak: we didn't. Yeah, oh 1893 01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:01,920 Adam Curry: yeah, no, 1894 01:48:02,340 --> 01:48:04,920 John C Dvorak: the price got a spreadsheet that has all the 1895 01:48:04,920 --> 01:48:07,320 money. And it's like, outrageous, 1896 01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:09,840 Adam Curry: I mean, Turner, classic movies, what do they get 1897 01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:15,000 per house? Buck and a half, 150 now, MTV gets a buck more than a 1898 01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:18,600 buck. There's some things like that. Are, you know, it goes 1899 01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:20,900 down only three cents. Yeah, I would say about we could 1900 01:48:20,900 --> 01:48:24,980 probably get about 30 cents per subscriber. And I got a lot of 1901 01:48:24,980 --> 01:48:27,260 people saying they would be more than willing to hike their 1902 01:48:27,260 --> 01:48:30,980 skirts to get clearances on these big cable cable outfits. 1903 01:48:31,280 --> 01:48:36,140 So we've got the we've got the bribes and Willie and I'll turn 1904 01:48:36,140 --> 01:48:37,940 on my camera when you 1905 01:48:37,940 --> 01:48:40,540 John C Dvorak: know what the interesting thing is, is that 1906 01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:45,280 for people, by the way, the guy, we got an anonymous spreadsheet 1907 01:48:45,280 --> 01:48:51,700 from somebody in the business, and the one that's the one 1908 01:48:51,700 --> 01:48:55,300 that's really stands out, like a sore thumb, is ESPN, oh, isn't 1909 01:48:55,300 --> 01:48:59,380 Adam Curry: it like, seven bucks or something crazy, $10 ahead? 1910 01:48:59,380 --> 01:49:02,280 Yeah, and, and whether you have it or not, I think, 1911 01:49:04,020 --> 01:49:06,180 John C Dvorak: no, I think you have to have it. And the funny 1912 01:49:06,180 --> 01:49:08,760 thing is, I think, is what's amusing to people who watch 1913 01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:12,780 ESPN, because people that on ESPN every, every so often, moan 1914 01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:17,700 about being on ESPN two. ESPN gets 10 bucks a head. And I 1915 01:49:17,700 --> 01:49:23,300 think ESPN two is like two or three, $3 or less. It's like, 1916 01:49:23,300 --> 01:49:25,700 oh, okay, it's the ESPN. Well, hold on, let 1917 01:49:25,700 --> 01:49:27,740 Adam Curry: me, let me bring up the spreadsheet for a second 1918 01:49:27,740 --> 01:49:30,620 this, this will blow people's mind. So just so you know, the 1919 01:49:30,620 --> 01:49:36,980 way it works is these cable company pays the networks. So 1920 01:49:36,980 --> 01:49:42,460 let's see, bravo, carriage, yeah, for carriage. So bravo. 58 1921 01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:48,760 cents per household, bravo, bravo. That's nothing the 1922 01:49:48,760 --> 01:49:54,100 cooking channel. 27 cents. You really think we could do 33 1923 01:49:56,380 --> 01:49:58,780 John C Dvorak: but we can do at least 27 Yeah. 1924 01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:01,440 Adam Curry: Well, let me say what's. Nickelodeon gets a buck 1925 01:50:01,500 --> 01:50:05,940 89 so all you need is a million people. We're swimming in dough. 1926 01:50:05,940 --> 01:50:08,760 We could, we could be, be given every we could give the trolls 1927 01:50:08,760 --> 01:50:13,320 money back. I know you don't like that idea, but I'm just 1928 01:50:13,320 --> 01:50:15,780 saying, I'm just saying, well, 1929 01:50:15,780 --> 01:50:18,840 John C Dvorak: if they hike their skirt, yeah, by the way, 1930 01:50:19,320 --> 01:50:22,340 only the, only the girls, not the men. If you hike your skirt, 1931 01:50:22,340 --> 01:50:23,600 you're hiking your skirt, you're 1932 01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:27,560 Adam Curry: in here. Oprah. Oprah makes 38 the Oprah own. 1933 01:50:27,620 --> 01:50:32,720 Oprah makes 3838 nobody watches own. No, of course. Magnolia, 27 1934 01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:33,680 cents. 1935 01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:36,260 John C Dvorak: Nobody watches these. These networks. Go to 1936 01:50:36,260 --> 01:50:38,840 some of the ones they watch. Look at it. Look at it. Look up. 1937 01:50:38,840 --> 01:50:40,600 ESPN. ESPN, 1938 01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:43,300 Adam Curry: ESP what? ESPN has multiple channels, which is kind 1939 01:50:43,300 --> 01:50:50,440 of the way to go. I can tell so ESPN HD, $10.35 ESPN to $1.97 1940 01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:55,720 and then ESPN news, no one cares about that. That's seven and a 1941 01:50:55,720 --> 01:50:59,020 half cents. ESPN and you, what is that? 1942 01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:02,580 John C Dvorak: What is you? I used to know what that is, but I 1943 01:51:02,580 --> 01:51:03,660 don't, I don't remember 1944 01:51:03,720 --> 01:51:07,740 Adam Curry: that's, uh, 29 see, the Food Network gets 65 cents. 1945 01:51:08,040 --> 01:51:12,060 So and, you know, and my whole thinking of when we can network, 1946 01:51:12,060 --> 01:51:15,480 yeah, 65 cents is not Kimber. With this idea is that 1947 01:51:15,480 --> 01:51:19,380 everyone's cutting the cutting cable. You know, people are 1948 01:51:19,380 --> 01:51:21,860 running away. They're going to the streamers. Now, I don't 1949 01:51:21,860 --> 01:51:25,340 think that cable, I mean, cable, will be around for a long time, 1950 01:51:25,340 --> 01:51:28,820 but it's diminishing decades. And if we say, Hey, we're the 1951 01:51:28,820 --> 01:51:33,140 we're the we're the hit podcast guys, we can do that's I sent 1952 01:51:33,140 --> 01:51:36,320 you V for VTV. That's what I sent you. You probably didn't 1953 01:51:36,320 --> 01:51:39,200 John C Dvorak: like it. No, I thought it was a nice it has a 1954 01:51:39,200 --> 01:51:40,180 nice ring to it. V 1955 01:51:40,180 --> 01:51:43,780 Adam Curry: for vtv.com, yeah, be perfect, yeah, 1956 01:51:44,140 --> 01:51:48,040 John C Dvorak: we'll talk about this more. Okay, because it's an 1957 01:51:48,040 --> 01:51:48,880 eye opener. It 1958 01:51:48,880 --> 01:51:49,900 Adam Curry: is an eye opener. 1959 01:51:49,960 --> 01:51:52,060 John C Dvorak: And what's funny about it, I want to I mentioned 1960 01:51:52,060 --> 01:51:54,520 I sent a note back to the guy with this comment, which is, I 1961 01:51:54,520 --> 01:51:58,000 remember the early days, the early days the cable was never 1962 01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:00,900 called cable. It was called CC. Yes, 1963 01:52:00,900 --> 01:52:01,620 Adam Curry: yes, indeed. I 1964 01:52:01,620 --> 01:52:04,620 John C Dvorak: remember community something television, 1965 01:52:04,980 --> 01:52:08,160 and people would set up these systems, and they would, they 1966 01:52:08,160 --> 01:52:10,860 would get, they would, in other words, if you're like a look, 1967 01:52:10,860 --> 01:52:14,280 you have three local stations and you wanted, but you got to 1968 01:52:14,280 --> 01:52:17,280 fringe areas where nobody, even with an antenna, could pick it 1969 01:52:17,280 --> 01:52:21,920 up. You'd put up a cable system up there, or CCTV, and you play 1970 01:52:21,920 --> 01:52:25,640 your local stations up there in the middle of nowhere, and 1971 01:52:25,640 --> 01:52:30,980 that's the stations would pay the cable operators, yeah, for 1972 01:52:30,980 --> 01:52:33,560 the for the extra coverage, because now they had more reach. 1973 01:52:33,560 --> 01:52:37,220 And so it was, they'd get to move their sell more ads and so 1974 01:52:37,220 --> 01:52:40,420 that. So in I don't know what year it changed, but at some 1975 01:52:40,420 --> 01:52:45,340 point it flipped, yeah, and I think it was the beginning with 1976 01:52:45,340 --> 01:52:49,180 HBO. HBO, who does? HBO said, you know, we're not going to be 1977 01:52:49,180 --> 01:52:52,840 broadcasting anything, but use a premium, and you could probably 1978 01:52:53,620 --> 01:52:57,100 lure more people into your system if you have our play our 1979 01:52:57,100 --> 01:53:00,820 movies, and you just have to give us a little bit of money. I 1980 01:53:00,820 --> 01:53:03,240 was HBO on that list, by the way, on the 1981 01:53:03,240 --> 01:53:06,360 Adam Curry: it's $10 but that was direct billing, so that you 1982 01:53:06,360 --> 01:53:10,500 have to pay extra. Yeah, different. But the question so I 1983 01:53:10,500 --> 01:53:13,200 think we can Pro, I can probably convince Joe we'll have to give 1984 01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:15,540 him millions. But, you know, it's all right, it'll be Joe. 1985 01:53:15,540 --> 01:53:15,660 You 1986 01:53:15,660 --> 01:53:18,720 John C Dvorak: get some piece of the action, stock, yeah, stock 1987 01:53:19,140 --> 01:53:20,940 Adam Curry: options, warrants. We'll 1988 01:53:20,940 --> 01:53:22,700 John C Dvorak: give them warrants. We'll give them stock. 1989 01:53:22,700 --> 01:53:23,900 We'll give him a 1990 01:53:23,900 --> 01:53:27,080 Adam Curry: straight he'll want money. We have to pay him money. 1991 01:53:27,560 --> 01:53:27,740 He 1992 01:53:27,740 --> 01:53:29,720 John C Dvorak: might like stock, he doesn't need. We'll give 1993 01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:30,980 extra money. He's not 1994 01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:36,020 Adam Curry: going to do it unless we give him money. Yeah, 1995 01:53:36,020 --> 01:53:39,320 you got to give him money. But, you know, we who else do you 1996 01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:43,060 want on the show? I mean, do you want to judge Knapp? 1997 01:53:45,400 --> 01:53:49,780 John C Dvorak: I don't know who judge Knapp is Napolitano. Oh, 1998 01:53:49,840 --> 01:53:51,460 maybe. Why not? Yeah, how 1999 01:53:51,460 --> 01:53:52,900 Adam Curry: about Brett Weinstein 2000 01:53:54,580 --> 01:53:56,080 John C Dvorak: and Heather? How you're stretching it? They 2001 01:53:56,080 --> 01:53:57,400 Adam Curry: can do overnights. There's 2002 01:53:57,400 --> 01:54:01,260 John C Dvorak: a lot of the selection is Hi, I'm Heather 2003 01:54:01,260 --> 01:54:02,100 Weinstein, 2004 01:54:03,240 --> 01:54:06,900 Adam Curry: welcome to our welcome to V for VT overnight. 2005 01:54:08,460 --> 01:54:13,560 Kevin the overnights. Tim pool, I think we said the pool boy on 2006 01:54:13,560 --> 01:54:17,700 he would rake him in. He would be right too, and then, But you 2007 01:54:17,700 --> 01:54:20,640 promised me we're gonna do we're gonna go video so we can be on 2008 01:54:20,640 --> 01:54:22,460 this too. We have to be on this. I think 2009 01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:24,920 John C Dvorak: we have to have, we have to have a version on 2010 01:54:24,920 --> 01:54:26,060 there's an hour show. 2011 01:54:27,080 --> 01:54:29,840 Adam Curry: Oh, that sounds like extra work. I didn't sign up for 2012 01:54:29,840 --> 01:54:30,320 that. 2013 01:54:31,160 --> 01:54:33,740 John C Dvorak: It could be part of the other show. We 2014 01:54:33,800 --> 01:54:36,320 Adam Curry: should just do this show. Just do it. Just go live 2015 01:54:36,320 --> 01:54:41,740 with camera. Just the camera. You can wear a mask. Think of 2016 01:54:41,740 --> 01:54:46,120 the money, John, think of the money. Until that time, we are 2017 01:54:46,120 --> 01:54:48,700 John C Dvorak: very grateful. Here's the other problem, we 2018 01:54:48,700 --> 01:54:53,620 can't chew up like, what was our last show time three and a half 2019 01:54:53,620 --> 01:54:54,400 hours. 2020 01:54:54,400 --> 01:54:57,100 Adam Curry: We can. People love that stuff. What do you mean? We 2021 01:54:57,100 --> 01:54:58,120 can't chew that up? 2022 01:54:58,120 --> 01:55:00,180 John C Dvorak: Yak, yak, yak. For three and a half. Hours. 2023 01:55:00,180 --> 01:55:04,800 Okay, maybe, yeah, but, but the idea overall is solid. Think of 2024 01:55:04,800 --> 01:55:07,200 them, and it doesn't get us off the air, because people always 2025 01:55:07,200 --> 01:55:12,060 worry about our our crazy ideas making us quit this way, we 2026 01:55:12,060 --> 01:55:12,780 can't quit. 2027 01:55:12,780 --> 01:55:14,940 Adam Curry: That's right, when that we can't quit because it'll 2028 01:55:14,940 --> 01:55:20,780 just be too good. They'll be too good. In the meantime, 2029 01:55:21,320 --> 01:55:24,260 John C Dvorak: we plausible anybody with ideas. We're open. 2030 01:55:24,380 --> 01:55:25,820 Adam Curry: We're open for business, 2031 01:55:26,900 --> 01:55:30,140 John C Dvorak: idea business. I did get a thing today from one 2032 01:55:30,140 --> 01:55:32,900 guy who's been in in the video business. Hey, 2033 01:55:32,900 --> 01:55:35,540 Adam Curry: all we need to do is get on one cable system and 2034 01:55:35,540 --> 01:55:38,420 we're good to go. I mean, what do we really need? We got 2035 01:55:38,420 --> 01:55:41,980 bumpers. We have people creating art. We can have, I mean, we we 2036 01:55:41,980 --> 01:55:45,100 have an entire and we can pay people. Hey, thanks, boom, 2037 01:55:45,100 --> 01:55:49,060 here's some money. Think about it. Don't get carried away. 2038 01:55:49,060 --> 01:55:50,320 Okay, I'm all jacked, 2039 01:55:50,860 --> 01:55:53,320 John C Dvorak: because the thing is, about this volunteerism that 2040 01:55:53,320 --> 01:55:58,180 we have is a big deal. There it is. No, I'm saying that because 2041 01:55:58,180 --> 01:56:00,300 I would some years ago. I give you this story, yeah, 2042 01:56:00,300 --> 01:56:02,520 Adam Curry: but if we're raking in dough, then people want a 2043 01:56:02,520 --> 01:56:02,820 piece 2044 01:56:02,820 --> 01:56:05,880 John C Dvorak: of the gonna be raking in that making a little 2045 01:56:05,880 --> 01:56:06,660 more we're making, we're 2046 01:56:06,660 --> 01:56:09,720 Unknown: gonna give him stock, stock, stock, 2047 01:56:10,800 --> 01:56:14,040 John C Dvorak: yes, definitely. Stock, yeah, stock, okay, but no 2048 01:56:14,100 --> 01:56:18,060 commercials. I don't want it incorporation, yeah, no. But a 2049 01:56:18,060 --> 01:56:20,600 bunch of shares out there and give people stock. And then when 2050 01:56:20,600 --> 01:56:25,220 it when somebody buys us, everybody will clean up. Yeah, 2051 01:56:25,340 --> 01:56:26,360 Unknown: now you're talking 2052 01:56:28,700 --> 01:56:32,240 Adam Curry: all right. In the meantime, we're only going to 2053 01:56:32,240 --> 01:56:36,080 thank our artists because we do love them, and they do great 2054 01:56:36,080 --> 01:56:39,140 work for us, and they upload every single show during the 2055 01:56:39,140 --> 01:56:43,360 live broadcast to no agenda, Art generator.com, and we chose 2056 01:56:43,360 --> 01:56:48,220 Francisco scaramangas artwork for Episode 1683, the rainbow of 2057 01:56:48,220 --> 01:56:53,140 rockets. It was the title. There was some dissent amongst the 2058 01:56:53,140 --> 01:56:56,200 ranks. People thought that shrimp deal would have been a 2059 01:56:56,200 --> 01:56:59,740 better, a better title. Now that I think about it might have been 2060 01:56:59,740 --> 01:57:04,440 funny one of those shrimp deals. It was fine. Yeah. And we chose 2061 01:57:04,500 --> 01:57:07,860 Joe Biden, President. Joe Biden, although we were not happy with 2062 01:57:07,860 --> 01:57:11,880 scaramongers, rendering of Biden wasn't, wasn't a great look, but 2063 01:57:11,880 --> 01:57:16,020 you could tell it was him, and he was on the airplane looking 2064 01:57:16,020 --> 01:57:17,640 for the bathroom. Yeah, 2065 01:57:18,240 --> 01:57:20,780 John C Dvorak: it was good. It's funny. It's like, you know, it 2066 01:57:20,780 --> 01:57:23,300 Adam Curry: was funny. Scara, manga, of course, Dutch Master, 2067 01:57:23,300 --> 01:57:26,780 they always reign supreme. Was there anything else that we can 2068 01:57:26,780 --> 01:57:27,620 Well, there were a lot of 2069 01:57:27,620 --> 01:57:30,140 John C Dvorak: rain like that Apple guy with the Macintosh on 2070 01:57:30,140 --> 01:57:31,700 his head talking to the girl. Yeah, he 2071 01:57:31,700 --> 01:57:33,020 Adam Curry: used that for the newsletter. 2072 01:57:33,440 --> 01:57:36,440 John C Dvorak: I did because I was, it was a good piece. 2073 01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:38,780 Adam Curry: I didn't like it as much as Biden. No, he 2074 01:57:38,780 --> 01:57:41,020 John C Dvorak: didn't like it at all. Let's face it, you tried to 2075 01:57:41,020 --> 01:57:44,740 call in a chit, which is either it was a Matthew drop go piece, 2076 01:57:44,740 --> 01:57:48,760 and it was very funny. It was AI, Hello, yeah, 2077 01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:50,320 Adam Curry: I kind of like 2078 01:57:50,680 --> 01:57:52,840 John C Dvorak: comics piece. Look like it might have been 2079 01:57:52,840 --> 01:57:56,140 hand done, yeah? It might be, I don't think so, but it might be, 2080 01:57:56,140 --> 01:57:58,540 well, he's an artist. He actually can crank stuff out. 2081 01:57:58,540 --> 01:58:03,840 But he also likes to use, he likes to use AI a lot. Yeah, so 2082 01:58:03,900 --> 01:58:08,040 Adam Curry: yeah for cheesecake stuff, dirty Jersey whore. Did I 2083 01:58:08,040 --> 01:58:13,200 want my no agenda? And I want my MTV logo? Nestworks also did a 2084 01:58:13,200 --> 01:58:16,740 cut the cable. A lot of people picked up on the idea of our own 2085 01:58:16,740 --> 01:58:21,260 cable channel with some of the artwork. Was there anything 2086 01:58:21,260 --> 01:58:27,260 else? I don't think anything else came close. We had the HHI 2087 01:58:27,260 --> 01:58:30,560 index by nestworks with Kamala coconut falling over with her 2088 01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:32,240 legs in the air. Yeah, 2089 01:58:32,240 --> 01:58:36,920 John C Dvorak: I think the show itself didn't lend itself to no 2090 01:58:37,100 --> 01:58:40,540 great art ideas like the chemicals crackers in the 2091 01:58:40,540 --> 01:58:43,300 previous episode, and I think today's show is going to be the 2092 01:58:43,300 --> 01:58:44,200 same.

Turkey's 2418 02:18:27,680 --> 02:18:30,680 leadership has been an outspoken critic against Israel's war in 2419 02:18:30,680 --> 02:18:34,820 Gaza, meanwhile, reactions to Yahya Sen's appointment as the 2420 02:18:34,820 --> 02:18:38,480 new Hamas today continue on Wednesday. White House National 2421 02:18:38,480 --> 02:18:42,160 Security Adviser John Kirby said, quote, The man is a 2422 02:18:42,160 --> 02:18:46,000 terrorist. He has an awful lot of blood on his hands. His 2423 02:18:46,000 --> 02:18:48,820 daughter is the architect of the seventh of October attacks in 2424 02:18:48,820 --> 02:18:52,480 Israel, and some of that blood on his hands is American blood. 2425 02:18:52,840 --> 02:18:55,600 A spokesperson for the State Department said, sewer has 2426 02:18:55,600 --> 02:18:58,840 always called the shots for Hamas, even before the death of 2427 02:18:58,840 --> 02:19:00,340 former leader Ismail Hania. 2428 02:19:00,879 --> 02:19:03,659 Ultimately, it was cinwar that had the final decision making 2429 02:19:03,659 --> 02:19:06,599 authority, as we could see throughout these negotiations on 2430 02:19:06,599 --> 02:19:11,399 whether to accept a ceasefire or not. So yes, cinwar Absolutely 2431 02:19:11,759 --> 02:19:16,259 ought to be brought to justice. We believe that for the his 2432 02:19:16,259 --> 02:19:20,119 significant acts of terrorism, and we also think he ought to 2433 02:19:20,119 --> 02:19:22,099 accept the ceasefire deal. All right, 2434 02:19:22,100 --> 02:19:24,320 Adam Curry: so, just so I understand, we're talking about 2435 02:19:24,320 --> 02:19:27,800 the guy that's replacing the guy that got blowed up in Iran, 2436 02:19:27,800 --> 02:19:31,820 right? Yes, okay, all right, yeah, yeah. His name, yeah, 2437 02:19:31,820 --> 02:19:37,760 yeah, is the new guy, yeah. 2438 02:19:38,660 --> 02:19:40,760 John C Dvorak: This is part two of that, because we should get 2439 02:19:40,760 --> 02:19:46,240 too misspelled as y, w, o, y, that's okay. I got you. I 2440 02:19:46,240 --> 02:19:46,900 Adam Curry: got you, bro. 2441 02:19:46,959 --> 02:19:49,779 Unknown: The Israeli military's chief of staff called sinwar A 2442 02:19:49,779 --> 02:19:53,799 murderer and said that Israel is ready to hurt its attackers. The 2443 02:19:53,799 --> 02:19:57,879 new Hamas leader is at the top of Israel's kill list. Some Gaza 2444 02:19:57,879 --> 02:20:00,899 residents are also disheartened by the news. News. Speaking to 2445 02:20:00,899 --> 02:20:04,319 CNN, they say there has been too much death and they just want 2446 02:20:04,319 --> 02:20:08,399 the war to end. Others rejoiced at the news. In Yemen, 2447 02:20:08,399 --> 02:20:12,179 university students rallied in support of sinwar Iran and the 2448 02:20:12,179 --> 02:20:15,359 Hezbollah terrorist group congratulated Hamas and sinwar 2449 02:20:15,719 --> 02:20:18,899 Experts say sinwar is more extreme than his predecessor, 2450 02:20:18,899 --> 02:20:22,279 and his appointment could point Hamas to a more hard line 2451 02:20:22,279 --> 02:20:23,299 stance. Hey, 2452 02:20:23,360 --> 02:20:26,300 Adam Curry: why does this is NTD I believe. Why do they not say 2453 02:20:26,300 --> 02:20:29,840 Turkey a? They not all in on that. They don't like saying 2454 02:20:29,840 --> 02:20:30,500 Turkey a. 2455 02:20:30,740 --> 02:20:31,640 John C Dvorak: That's a good point. 2456 02:20:31,700 --> 02:20:32,900 Adam Curry: I'm just kind of missing it. 2457 02:20:33,320 --> 02:20:35,480 John C Dvorak: I think a harsh note would be in order. Yes, you 2458 02:20:35,480 --> 02:20:37,820 Adam Curry: should send them one. All right, so that's 2459 02:20:37,820 --> 02:20:40,540 John C Dvorak: now we got this guy that I know he's worse. This 2460 02:20:40,540 --> 02:20:43,720 guy's worse. He's worse, but he's been running it all along. 2461 02:20:43,720 --> 02:20:48,940 That's the joke. So how's he worse? I see? So the other point 2462 02:20:48,940 --> 02:20:55,120 is, is that these guys are pretty, pretty blatant about no 2463 02:20:55,120 --> 02:20:57,040 trials. We kill him. 2464 02:20:59,260 --> 02:21:04,800 Adam Curry: We us. Our guys, dead man, dead man, walking the 2465 02:21:04,800 --> 02:21:07,500 John C Dvorak: theme. Now we have an analysis that I do. One 2466 02:21:07,500 --> 02:21:10,020 of the reasons like NTDs, because they really have good 2467 02:21:10,440 --> 02:21:13,140 and different analysts. Yeah, we come on, 2468 02:21:13,200 --> 02:21:14,760 Adam Curry: put them on a new cable channel. 2469 02:21:16,860 --> 02:21:18,360 John C Dvorak: Yeah, they have their own they've got their own 2470 02:21:18,360 --> 02:21:19,020 cable channel. 2471 02:21:20,040 --> 02:21:21,740 Adam Curry: How much money do they make per household? 2472 02:21:22,880 --> 02:21:24,680 John C Dvorak: That's a good question. You wonder if it's 2473 02:21:24,680 --> 02:21:29,720 even, oh, no, they actually, they don't do cable. They do 2474 02:21:29,780 --> 02:21:35,000 over the air, uh, losers, seconds. They don't know. Do 2475 02:21:35,000 --> 02:21:35,660 that too, by the way, 2476 02:21:35,660 --> 02:21:37,460 Adam Curry: they don't have one of our deals. Man, they don't 2477 02:21:37,460 --> 02:21:39,800 get it. Yeah, okay, all right. Most 2478 02:21:39,800 --> 02:21:43,540 John C Dvorak: favorite nations thing is this stupid rule about 2479 02:21:43,540 --> 02:21:47,020 cable doesn't let you do a lot of stuff. So here's New Hamas 2480 02:21:47,020 --> 02:21:49,060 guy analysis. One 2481 02:21:49,180 --> 02:21:51,700 Unknown: earlier, we spoke with Gabriel narona, a former State 2482 02:21:51,700 --> 02:21:55,300 Department adviser on Iran, about Hamas decision to name, 2483 02:21:55,300 --> 02:21:58,720 yeah, send more as its new political leader. Corona is also 2484 02:21:58,720 --> 02:22:01,740 the executive director of Polaris national security and a 2485 02:22:01,740 --> 02:22:04,380 fellow at the Jewish Institute for National Security of 2486 02:22:04,380 --> 02:22:08,220 America. Now, yeah, yes, in war was the architect of the October 2487 02:22:08,220 --> 02:22:12,900 7 terror attack on Israel. What does Hamas selecting him as the 2488 02:22:12,900 --> 02:22:16,680 new leader, political leader mean for the ongoing ceasefire 2489 02:22:16,740 --> 02:22:18,300 negotiations? Well, 2490 02:22:18,300 --> 02:22:23,240 this is a consolidation of power within Hamas into sinwar, he was 2491 02:22:23,240 --> 02:22:26,720 always the key decision maker for these ceasefires, for the 2492 02:22:26,720 --> 02:22:30,740 prisoner exchange deals, and so instead of having Hania 2493 02:22:30,920 --> 02:22:35,540 negotiate them and try to relay messages from sinwar, now it's 2494 02:22:35,540 --> 02:22:39,920 all concentrated in one person that is good in one sense, And 2495 02:22:39,920 --> 02:22:43,420 that it actually simplifies the decision making and negotiating 2496 02:22:43,420 --> 02:22:47,920 process. It also means that if and when I think cinema gets 2497 02:22:47,920 --> 02:22:51,760 killed by Israel, it's going to make it a lot more difficult for 2498 02:22:51,760 --> 02:22:55,000 Hamas to move on. They are again putting all the power in one 2499 02:22:55,000 --> 02:22:58,000 place. This isn't going to change too much, I think, in 2500 02:22:58,000 --> 02:23:01,380 terms of whether their policy changes, how they approach 2501 02:23:01,380 --> 02:23:04,380 things is different. It's just gonna make things a lot harder. 2502 02:23:04,500 --> 02:23:08,760 You have one person trying to do two jobs, if not more. Now, did 2503 02:23:08,760 --> 02:23:11,760 Adam Curry: we know that Yaya was the guy behind October 7? 2504 02:23:11,760 --> 02:23:13,200 Did we know that already? 2505 02:23:13,620 --> 02:23:16,560 John C Dvorak: I don't know that we did, and I don't get this 2506 02:23:16,560 --> 02:23:21,560 thing or when they kill him, and it's so cavalier, by the way, 2507 02:23:21,740 --> 02:23:23,540 yeah, yeah, 2508 02:23:24,380 --> 02:23:28,160 Adam Curry: if and when we kill him. I mean, Israel, if and when 2509 02:23:28,160 --> 02:23:31,580 we kill him. This is we're murderers, man, this is no good. 2510 02:23:31,580 --> 02:23:32,360 I don't like this. 2511 02:23:33,260 --> 02:23:36,320 John C Dvorak: Yeah, I find it. I found it distressing. I 2512 02:23:36,320 --> 02:23:38,540 Adam Curry: mean, at least Trump goes, I'm gonna kill him. I take 2513 02:23:38,540 --> 02:23:41,140 him out, gonna kill him like a dog. That would be funnier. But, 2514 02:23:42,220 --> 02:23:45,100 if and when we kill him, you know, come on, spice it up, 2515 02:23:45,100 --> 02:23:45,520 people 2516 02:23:45,580 --> 02:23:48,220 John C Dvorak: so little to Cavaliers, here we go. Part two 2517 02:23:48,340 --> 02:23:51,160 Unknown: and some more. Is believed to be in the tunnels of 2518 02:23:51,220 --> 02:23:56,140 Gaza, surrounded by hostages. This factor into the ongoing 2519 02:23:56,140 --> 02:23:57,280 negotiations. 2520 02:23:57,700 --> 02:23:59,140 Well, those hostages are 2521 02:23:59,680 --> 02:24:02,160 John C Dvorak: good for a second, whatever happened, you 2522 02:24:02,160 --> 02:24:05,040 remember this? Whatever happened to they're gonna flood the 2523 02:24:05,040 --> 02:24:08,160 tunnels. Yeah, that was whatever happened to that idea. 2524 02:24:08,940 --> 02:24:11,580 Adam Curry: Well, I got shot down for some reason. They were 2525 02:24:11,580 --> 02:24:14,580 waiting for flood the tunnels. They're waiting for you. Well, I 2526 02:24:14,580 --> 02:24:17,820 think the international human rights groups came in and said, 2527 02:24:17,820 --> 02:24:20,960 Hey, man, that's kind of that's like rats. That's no good. 2528 02:24:21,020 --> 02:24:23,120 John C Dvorak: Yeah. Well, this, this idea we're gonna kill this 2529 02:24:23,120 --> 02:24:30,080 guy, which without London, you know, without a trial or 2530 02:24:30,080 --> 02:24:31,160 anything. No, just 2531 02:24:31,400 --> 02:24:32,540 Adam Curry: kill him. Kill him. 2532 02:24:32,720 --> 02:24:36,560 Unknown: Well, those hostages are policy, that he's not going 2533 02:24:36,560 --> 02:24:40,120 to get taken out by Israel tomorrow. But at the same, you 2534 02:24:40,120 --> 02:24:42,880 know, it's speculated that Israel knows exactly where he 2535 02:24:42,880 --> 02:24:46,000 is, or generally where he is, but again, that it's too 2536 02:24:46,000 --> 02:24:49,960 difficult to try to do a rescue operation, because most people 2537 02:24:49,960 --> 02:24:53,320 would assume the hostages would be booby trapped. So again, 2538 02:24:53,380 --> 02:24:55,360 Israel's force to me, wait a minute. 2539 02:24:55,780 --> 02:24:57,880 Adam Curry: This is the first I'm hearing of the hostages 2540 02:24:57,880 --> 02:24:59,380 being booby trapped. I. 2541 02:25:00,540 --> 02:25:02,760 John C Dvorak: This is mansion, being a hostage, and you got, 2542 02:25:02,760 --> 02:25:04,740 you'd like a stick of dynamite up your butt. 2543 02:25:05,460 --> 02:25:08,400 Adam Curry: Well, this is not good, rather insensitive way to 2544 02:25:08,400 --> 02:25:09,720 put it. But yes, well, 2545 02:25:09,840 --> 02:25:12,000 John C Dvorak: it will be joy. Okay, you got a bunch of 2546 02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:15,000 dynamite strapped around your chest. Yeah? Wow, that's the 2547 02:25:15,000 --> 02:25:18,240 windows go off your you know, your head flies up. Yeah, pop, 2548 02:25:18,480 --> 02:25:20,600 pop, we talked about that. But this is 2549 02:25:21,860 --> 02:25:24,200 Adam Curry: this is all this is new. I've never heard of the 2550 02:25:24,200 --> 02:25:26,540 hostage. They're basically saying we got to give up on the 2551 02:25:26,540 --> 02:25:28,160 hostages because they're booby trapped 2552 02:25:29,060 --> 02:25:32,420 Unknown: anyway. I guess most people would assume the hostages 2553 02:25:32,420 --> 02:25:35,540 would be booby trapped. So again, Israel is forced to 2554 02:25:35,540 --> 02:25:38,900 negotiate with them at some point. But again, there's an 2555 02:25:38,900 --> 02:25:43,000 expiration. There's no way that sin war makes it out of all this 2556 02:25:43,000 --> 02:25:43,660 alive, 2557 02:25:43,840 --> 02:25:48,280 and given his selection, how do you think this will change or 2558 02:25:48,280 --> 02:25:50,380 impact Hamas and its goals? 2559 02:25:50,800 --> 02:25:54,040 You know, one really interesting aspect is that Hania was able to 2560 02:25:54,040 --> 02:25:58,000 unite many of the various Palestinian factions he had been 2561 02:25:58,000 --> 02:26:01,800 in the political arena for for decades. Sin war is a bit more 2562 02:26:01,800 --> 02:26:04,680 of the fighter type. And so there are, you know, there was 2563 02:26:04,680 --> 02:26:07,260 an agreement recently in Beijing where the Chinese brought 2564 02:26:07,260 --> 02:26:10,860 together 12 or 14 different Palestinian factions that was 2565 02:26:10,860 --> 02:26:15,000 largely due to hania's particular role. Being able to 2566 02:26:15,000 --> 02:26:17,820 bring these groups together. Singapore does not have that. 2567 02:26:18,060 --> 02:26:20,480 Now, a lot of groups are still going to be deferential to him 2568 02:26:20,480 --> 02:26:24,440 as leader of Hamas, but he's coming from disadvantage. He's 2569 02:26:24,440 --> 02:26:26,900 coming from a place where he can't go out in the open and 2570 02:26:26,900 --> 02:26:30,620 negotiate and talk with others. He's literally bunkered down. 2571 02:26:31,880 --> 02:26:35,420 John C Dvorak: Okay, all right, but he can't do negotiations 2572 02:26:35,420 --> 02:26:36,560 because they're going to kill him. 2573 02:26:36,860 --> 02:26:39,080 Adam Curry: Yeah, it seems like not a great way to start 2574 02:26:39,080 --> 02:26:41,680 negotiations. Hey, we're going to kill you. But want to, do you 2575 02:26:41,680 --> 02:26:45,340 want to make a deal? Or maybe that is the deal, like we won't 2576 02:26:45,340 --> 02:26:47,680 kill you if you come to the table. I don't know. 2577 02:26:47,740 --> 02:26:50,980 Unknown: Now, on that hard line stance, a man who spent years 2578 02:26:50,980 --> 02:26:54,520 with a sin war in Israel, Israeli prisons told CNN that 2579 02:26:54,520 --> 02:26:58,180 quote, as far as Israel is concerned, this is not good news 2580 02:26:58,180 --> 02:27:01,320 regarding the deal. Because of seminars close relationship with 2581 02:27:01,380 --> 02:27:04,320 Iran. Help us understand the dynamics there. 2582 02:27:05,760 --> 02:27:11,280 You know, Hamas is an imperfect proxy of Iran. Hamas is Sunni 2583 02:27:11,280 --> 02:27:14,880 and the Iranian regime is Shia, and they actually split 2584 02:27:14,880 --> 02:27:19,140 relations for a number of years over Iran's activities in Syria. 2585 02:27:19,800 --> 02:27:23,120 So, and you know, Hamas gets a lot of military support, 2586 02:27:23,120 --> 02:27:25,760 financial support, certainly political support, from Iran. 2587 02:27:26,060 --> 02:27:30,560 But at the end of the day, Hamas also tries to advance its own 2588 02:27:30,560 --> 02:27:35,360 agenda, its own ideology, which is separate from that of Iran. 2589 02:27:36,260 --> 02:27:40,720 However, now I think that Hamas is on the front line of fighting 2590 02:27:40,720 --> 02:27:44,560 Israel, which is Iran's greatest enemy. You're seeing Iran go out 2591 02:27:44,560 --> 02:27:47,440 of their way to try to help Hamas more than they would have 2592 02:27:47,500 --> 02:27:48,880 before October 7. 2593 02:27:51,520 --> 02:27:56,500 This is, this is so cynical. Just, yeah, they're 2594 02:27:56,500 --> 02:27:58,660 Adam Curry: just like, oh, this is how it works. And, you know, 2595 02:27:58,660 --> 02:28:02,160 just like Iran is just one big blob, and it's just that, by the 2596 02:28:02,160 --> 02:28:04,440 way, they're two weeks away from a nuclear bomb. You should have 2597 02:28:04,440 --> 02:28:05,220 mentioned that there 2598 02:28:05,220 --> 02:28:07,860 John C Dvorak: always been two weeks away. I had a clip in a 2599 02:28:07,860 --> 02:28:10,920 couple of shows ago. Yeah, with actually, I still have this 2600 02:28:10,920 --> 02:28:15,060 clip, just to interrupt this flow. I think it's the if I 2601 02:28:15,060 --> 02:28:18,120 moved it over, it's Lindsey Graham. Yes, here he is. 2602 02:28:18,120 --> 02:28:21,020 Unknown: Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is introducing 2603 02:28:21,020 --> 02:28:24,440 legislation that would allow the President to use military force 2604 02:28:24,440 --> 02:28:28,880 against Iran if it's determined Iran is using nuclear weapons. 2605 02:28:28,940 --> 02:28:29,120 If 2606 02:28:29,120 --> 02:28:33,680 we do not change course, Iran will, in the coming weeks or 2607 02:28:33,680 --> 02:28:38,660 months, coming weeks or months, coming weeks or months, possess 2608 02:28:38,660 --> 02:28:43,420 a nuclear weapon. It is time to end the charade that the world 2609 02:28:43,420 --> 02:28:47,620 is playing when it comes to Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran that 2610 02:28:47,620 --> 02:28:48,940 are one in the same. 2611 02:28:49,600 --> 02:28:52,780 Adam Curry: Did he have any plans like bomb them, 2612 02:28:53,680 --> 02:28:56,440 John C Dvorak: bomb them and bomb them again. All right, back 2613 02:28:56,440 --> 02:29:00,160 to the Hamas guy. Now I wanted to before we go to the last 2614 02:29:00,160 --> 02:29:03,480 clip, I should mention there's a couple clips here that I left 2615 02:29:03,480 --> 02:29:05,880 out a lot of stuff when they start about the United States 2616 02:29:05,880 --> 02:29:09,420 and its approach, which the guy kind of poo poos is, is 2617 02:29:09,420 --> 02:29:13,620 basically idiotic. So I'll leave that out, and we'll move to the 2618 02:29:13,620 --> 02:29:14,760 last clip. And 2619 02:29:14,760 --> 02:29:17,040 Unknown: what will some are leadership mean for the 2620 02:29:17,040 --> 02:29:19,800 Palestinian people in Gaza? Well, 2621 02:29:19,800 --> 02:29:22,580 I think we've sort of seen it over the last several decades. 2622 02:29:22,580 --> 02:29:26,240 It's failed leadership. It is leadership that is obsessed with 2623 02:29:26,240 --> 02:29:30,680 revolution within to Fauci of violence. This is leadership 2624 02:29:30,680 --> 02:29:35,240 that has been offered peace several times and has rejected 2625 02:29:35,240 --> 02:29:39,200 it at every turn. Cinema's goal for the Palestinian people, 2626 02:29:39,860 --> 02:29:42,520 frankly, if he could see them all dead, if that was what was 2627 02:29:42,520 --> 02:29:45,880 required to take out Israel along the way, it's something he 2628 02:29:45,880 --> 02:29:48,760 would probably sign up for. And frankly, that's really what he 2629 02:29:48,760 --> 02:29:52,660 did sign up for with October 7. It was designed so that Israel 2630 02:29:52,660 --> 02:29:56,260 would counter attack. It was designed and all their hostage 2631 02:29:56,680 --> 02:29:59,920 hostages have been designed so that more and more Palestine. 2632 02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:04,020 Indians are killed. That is in order policy. It is the only 2633 02:30:04,020 --> 02:30:07,080 time you have a military leader whose success, in fact, is 2634 02:30:07,080 --> 02:30:10,440 defined by how many of his own people can he have died in the 2635 02:30:10,440 --> 02:30:11,820 path of jihad? Oh, this 2636 02:30:11,820 --> 02:30:14,580 Adam Curry: is great. So by killing him, we're actually 2637 02:30:14,580 --> 02:30:20,300 saving Palestinians. That's fantastic. Wow. These guys are 2638 02:30:20,300 --> 02:30:23,480 so good. And who was this, again, who was speaking, What? 2639 02:30:24,260 --> 02:30:27,140 John C Dvorak: What? He's a guy. He's got a bunch of he was ex 2640 02:30:27,140 --> 02:30:29,900 State Department. He's, he worked for us, and he's working 2641 02:30:29,900 --> 02:30:35,060 for some, some Polaris or some company that does security work. 2642 02:30:35,060 --> 02:30:39,680 And then he's also a friend of he's a some, some Jewish 2643 02:30:39,680 --> 02:30:40,280 operation. 2644 02:30:40,340 --> 02:30:42,460 Adam Curry: We gotta stop this. We gotta stop 2645 02:30:42,460 --> 02:30:44,140 John C Dvorak: this. All this is nothing to stop. 2646 02:30:44,560 --> 02:30:47,680 Adam Curry: I have a clip here from, can't be done, from the 2647 02:30:47,680 --> 02:30:52,540 secrets and spies podcast, yes. Have you ever heard this 2648 02:30:52,540 --> 02:30:56,080 podcast? Yeah, I have. This is Philip Smith, who you'll hear 2649 02:30:56,080 --> 02:30:59,080 speaking. He's from the Washington Institute of the Near 2650 02:30:59,080 --> 02:31:00,600 East, which, of course, is some 2651 02:31:00,600 --> 02:31:03,960 Unknown: kind of, yeah, yeah, some front, some front 2652 02:31:03,960 --> 02:31:08,220 Adam Curry: group. And he's, he's talking about, I think, I 2653 02:31:08,220 --> 02:31:11,760 think what he's saying here is along the lines of our thinking, 2654 02:31:12,000 --> 02:31:15,720 which is, they wanted this old guy, the one who got blowed up. 2655 02:31:15,720 --> 02:31:17,100 They just wanted him out of the way. 2656 02:31:17,160 --> 02:31:19,740 Unknown: The New York Times that said, No, there was actually a 2657 02:31:19,740 --> 02:31:24,020 bomb planted inside of his room. And of course, there was some 2658 02:31:24,020 --> 02:31:26,720 other kind of more fluffy details that were in there. 2659 02:31:26,720 --> 02:31:29,660 Like, for instance, it was an AI controlled thing, and you throw 2660 02:31:29,660 --> 02:31:33,200 AI into it, that sounds advanced, but anyways, word of 2661 02:31:33,200 --> 02:31:36,320 the day, yeah. So, I mean, it was kind of stuff like that. But 2662 02:31:36,320 --> 02:31:38,120 you know, there's an AI controlled thing that also 2663 02:31:38,120 --> 02:31:40,280 detected when he was in the exact room. But what's 2664 02:31:40,280 --> 02:31:43,180 fascinating is you had other representatives and the 2665 02:31:43,180 --> 02:31:46,720 leadership of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad that were staying 2666 02:31:46,720 --> 02:31:49,300 in the same building. Now, Palestinian Islamic Jihad is 2667 02:31:49,300 --> 02:31:53,320 more directly controlled by the Iranians, very dangerous group, 2668 02:31:53,320 --> 02:31:57,400 but pij has been very, very big in terms of launching rockets, 2669 02:31:57,400 --> 02:32:00,040 kidnapping people, killing people, suicide bombings, you 2670 02:32:00,040 --> 02:32:04,320 name it, and they are markedly more beholden to the Iranians. 2671 02:32:04,680 --> 02:32:08,640 And interestingly, their reps who were there were not killed, 2672 02:32:09,600 --> 02:32:11,700 which, once again, it's another signal 2673 02:32:12,060 --> 02:32:14,760 yet on the call as the head 2674 02:32:14,820 --> 02:32:16,320 of Islamic Jihad, he 2675 02:32:16,320 --> 02:32:19,620 was in the room next door, it was reported in the in the ronin 2676 02:32:19,620 --> 02:32:23,600 Bergman article, yes, yeah, but, but again, that's the Okay, if 2677 02:32:23,600 --> 02:32:26,900 you think we can't hit anyone exactly when we want, that's 2678 02:32:26,900 --> 02:32:29,600 this is the thinking that goes behind it. I mean, I'm sure 2679 02:32:29,600 --> 02:32:31,700 there are, there are people out there like, why don't they just 2680 02:32:31,700 --> 02:32:33,920 kill them all in the building? Well, then that wouldn't send 2681 02:32:33,920 --> 02:32:35,720 quite the same signal, now, would it? 2682 02:32:36,560 --> 02:32:40,720 I think they took them out themselves. Just take this guy 2683 02:32:40,720 --> 02:32:42,880 possible. Just take this guy out. 2684 02:32:44,320 --> 02:32:47,020 John C Dvorak: It's probably the reason there hasn't used to this 2685 02:32:47,020 --> 02:32:50,440 moment. They still haven't started their retribution. 2686 02:32:50,740 --> 02:32:53,140 Adam Curry: So let's just stay on this for a second, because 2687 02:32:53,140 --> 02:32:59,140 there are a number of a number of Iran narratives going around, 2688 02:32:59,260 --> 02:33:03,000 even though it's like, is it Pakistan? Is it Iran? Is it 2689 02:33:03,000 --> 02:33:04,800 ISIS? Listen to this, 2690 02:33:04,800 --> 02:33:08,340 Unknown: the FBI arresting a Pakistani national in connection 2691 02:33:08,520 --> 02:33:11,460 with an alleged plot to assassinate former President 2692 02:33:11,460 --> 02:33:13,980 Donald Trump. Senior investigative correspondent 2693 02:33:13,980 --> 02:33:16,800 Aaron katersky joins me now. So what do we know about this man 2694 02:33:16,800 --> 02:33:19,800 and what he was playing our planet? Oops, 2695 02:33:20,040 --> 02:33:22,160 Adam Curry: truth wants to come out. What he was playing? Yeah, 2696 02:33:22,160 --> 02:33:24,980 he was playing a role, but okay, planning correspondent 2697 02:33:25,040 --> 02:33:27,500 Unknown: Aaron katersky joins me now. So what do we know about 2698 02:33:27,500 --> 02:33:29,600 this man and what he was playing? 2699 02:33:29,720 --> 02:33:33,740 Or Kira, his name is a safe merchant, and he entered the 2700 02:33:33,740 --> 02:33:36,680 United States, according to federal prosecutors, in Brooklyn 2701 02:33:36,980 --> 02:33:41,200 in April. And while he was here in the United States, he made 2702 02:33:41,200 --> 02:33:45,520 phone calls trying to hire hit men to carry out his alleged 2703 02:33:45,520 --> 02:33:49,780 scheme to assassinate government officials on U S soil. The 2704 02:33:49,780 --> 02:33:52,840 criminal complaint does not mention former President Trump 2705 02:33:52,840 --> 02:33:56,260 by name, but multiple sources familiar with this case say one 2706 02:33:56,260 --> 02:34:00,240 of the intended targets was former President Trump the hit 2707 02:34:00,240 --> 02:34:05,520 men that Asif merchant allegedly contacted ended up being 2708 02:34:05,520 --> 02:34:10,800 confidential sources of the FBI. So there was never any real 2709 02:34:10,800 --> 02:34:15,540 danger here, because it seems the Feds were onto this man from 2710 02:34:15,540 --> 02:34:19,440 the start. They followed him for several months and arrested him 2711 02:34:19,440 --> 02:34:24,200 July 12, just before he was about to board a flight and 2712 02:34:24,200 --> 02:34:27,920 leave the country. Kira the arrest, July 12, you'll note, is 2713 02:34:27,920 --> 02:34:31,580 one day before former President Trump's rally in Butler, 2714 02:34:31,580 --> 02:34:34,400 Pennsylvania, when there was an attempt on the former 2715 02:34:34,400 --> 02:34:38,180 president's life. Although these two things are not believed to 2716 02:34:38,180 --> 02:34:39,740 be connected, all right, 2717 02:34:39,740 --> 02:34:43,060 so no evidence in any way, shape or form. They could have shared 2718 02:34:43,060 --> 02:34:47,500 information or were connected in any way, two separate incidents 2719 02:34:47,500 --> 02:34:48,100 at this point. 2720 02:34:48,160 --> 02:34:52,780 So it seems curry The FBI has said they found no connection 2721 02:34:52,780 --> 02:34:56,200 between Thomas crooks, the 20 year old who took a shot at 2722 02:34:56,200 --> 02:35:00,420 Trump in Pennsylvania, and any foreign operatives. But. He did 2723 02:35:00,420 --> 02:35:04,500 learn, subsequent to the rally and the assassination attempt, 2724 02:35:04,740 --> 02:35:08,520 that the Secret Service had made adjustments to the security plan 2725 02:35:08,520 --> 02:35:14,340 for the rally because of thinking that Iran did have this 2726 02:35:14,340 --> 02:35:18,300 desire to go after former President Trump. Perhaps now we 2727 02:35:18,300 --> 02:35:22,640 know what gave them that indication. Perhaps this is one 2728 02:35:22,640 --> 02:35:25,820 of the reasons why those security adjustments were made. 2729 02:35:25,880 --> 02:35:26,180 This 2730 02:35:26,180 --> 02:35:29,540 Adam Curry: is such a convoluted story, so because they learned 2731 02:35:29,540 --> 02:35:34,340 about some threats from Iran, they made it even easier. Yeah, 2732 02:35:34,520 --> 02:35:37,520 I mean, what is going on? And then I know you have the clip 2733 02:35:37,580 --> 02:35:41,680 here. I'll play your clip. So now we have ISIS trying to 2734 02:35:41,680 --> 02:35:43,540 attack a Taylor Swift concert. 2735 02:35:43,660 --> 02:35:46,480 Unknown: An alleged terror plot targeting Taylor Swift concerts 2736 02:35:46,480 --> 02:35:50,800 in Austria has been foiled. The three swift concerts in Vienna 2737 02:35:50,800 --> 02:35:54,400 have now been canceled by the promoter. Two suspects were 2738 02:35:54,400 --> 02:35:57,760 arrested in connection with the alleged plot. Officials in 2739 02:35:57,760 --> 02:36:01,980 Austria said the main suspect is a 19 year old Austrian citizen. 2740 02:36:02,220 --> 02:36:05,940 They believe he had pledged an oath of allegiance to ISIS. 2741 02:36:06,240 --> 02:36:09,180 Authorities said they found chemical substances when he was 2742 02:36:09,180 --> 02:36:12,180 taken into custody. Investigators are working to 2743 02:36:12,180 --> 02:36:15,540 determine whether they could have been used to build a bomb 2744 02:36:15,780 --> 02:36:18,180 at a news conference, authorities said they believe 2745 02:36:18,180 --> 02:36:22,280 both men became radicalized on the internet and confirm that 2746 02:36:22,280 --> 02:36:25,820 they have detailed plans on how to carry out an attack. 2747 02:36:27,200 --> 02:36:30,560 Adam Curry: Now, there's a lot, I mean, this is, I mean, maybe 2748 02:36:30,560 --> 02:36:33,740 the Swift OP is just using Taylor Swift for whatever, 2749 02:36:33,800 --> 02:36:37,340 whatever we want to use her for. Because, you know, we had the 2750 02:36:37,340 --> 02:36:41,860 three kids who were killed in the UK, knifed to death. They 2751 02:36:41,860 --> 02:36:45,760 were at a Taylor Swift party. Then we've got ISIS wanting to 2752 02:36:45,760 --> 02:36:50,320 blow up people, young girls, supposedly, and their parents at 2753 02:36:50,320 --> 02:36:53,680 a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna. By the way, there's an 2754 02:36:53,680 --> 02:36:55,300 update breaking. We're getting 2755 02:36:55,300 --> 02:36:57,400 Unknown: some breaking news from Austria following the 2756 02:36:57,400 --> 02:37:00,300 cancelation of three Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna. Police 2757 02:37:00,300 --> 02:37:02,880 this morning are releasing new details about a terror plot that 2758 02:37:02,880 --> 02:37:05,520 targeted the stadium where the shows were scheduled this 2759 02:37:05,520 --> 02:37:09,360 weekend. Government officials confirmed the two men arrested 2760 02:37:09,360 --> 02:37:12,240 in connection to a planned attack. They say a 17 year old 2761 02:37:12,240 --> 02:37:15,120 suspect began working at the Austrian venue days before the 2762 02:37:15,120 --> 02:37:18,960 now canceled shows. The suspect sought to use knives or homemade 2763 02:37:18,960 --> 02:37:21,560 explosives in the attack outside the Swift concerts during a 2764 02:37:21,560 --> 02:37:24,260 press conference, fan as head of police said immediate danger had 2765 02:37:24,260 --> 02:37:27,560 been minimized and that an abstract danger remained in the 2766 02:37:27,560 --> 02:37:30,020 city. All tickets will be refunded with the next 10 2767 02:37:30,020 --> 02:37:33,140 business days. Swift's next set of airs tour concerts are still 2768 02:37:33,140 --> 02:37:37,220 scheduled in London from August 15 to the 20th. Yeah, that 2769 02:37:37,220 --> 02:37:39,860 Adam Curry: sounds like a great place to do a concert right now. 2770 02:37:40,760 --> 02:37:44,680 The Killing, they're killing your fans. Oh, man, there are 2771 02:37:44,680 --> 02:37:49,480 forces at work right now that and who don't care about human 2772 02:37:49,480 --> 02:37:53,260 life, clearly, who are really trying to set the stage for, 2773 02:37:53,380 --> 02:37:57,400 maybe for Trump, I'm not sure, but they're setting the stage. 2774 02:37:57,460 --> 02:38:01,140 They're set up underway and, well, let me just play the 2775 02:38:01,140 --> 02:38:04,920 before we get to that. No, maybe I should play this. Now, it 2776 02:38:05,280 --> 02:38:11,940 seems like this the latest that's happening in the world of 2777 02:38:12,000 --> 02:38:18,420 what WTF is also our doing. This is Bangladesh. Most people don't 2778 02:38:18,480 --> 02:38:22,340 understand it or care about it, but this is a report, an appeal 2779 02:38:22,340 --> 02:38:25,460 Unknown: for calm from the street. The army chief in 2780 02:38:25,460 --> 02:38:29,240 Bangladesh spoke to the nation in a televised address, general 2781 02:38:29,240 --> 02:38:32,660 Bucha Zaman announced an interim government would be formed, 2782 02:38:32,660 --> 02:38:35,600 while confirming report Sheik Hasina had resigned. 2783 02:38:36,980 --> 02:38:40,840 The honorable Prime Minister has resigned. Now we will form an 2784 02:38:40,840 --> 02:38:44,380 interim government and continue our work to lead the country 2785 02:38:45,760 --> 02:38:48,580 through the interim government, all the functioning of the 2786 02:38:48,580 --> 02:38:50,140 country will take place 2787 02:38:52,300 --> 02:38:55,660 out on the streets of the capital Dhaka. Jubilant crowds 2788 02:38:55,660 --> 02:39:00,360 waved flags and took pictures with Army personnel. This after 2789 02:39:00,360 --> 02:39:03,660 the Prime Minister's residence was stormed, after crowds grew 2790 02:39:03,660 --> 02:39:08,340 in numbers overwhelming security, demonstrators removed 2791 02:39:08,340 --> 02:39:12,840 articles of furniture and danced in celebration. The latest 2792 02:39:12,840 --> 02:39:17,160 development out of Bangladesh kept weeks of unrest. Student 2793 02:39:17,160 --> 02:39:20,520 led demonstrations kicked off last month over a controversial 2794 02:39:20,520 --> 02:39:24,140 quarter system on over half of government jobs reserved for 2795 02:39:24,140 --> 02:39:27,200 certain groups, including descendants of freedom fighters. 2796 02:39:27,560 --> 02:39:30,740 But that quickly spiraled into a campaign to oust the prime 2797 02:39:30,740 --> 02:39:34,460 minister, a heavy handed crackdown under Sheik Hasina 2798 02:39:34,520 --> 02:39:38,300 watch resulted in nearly 300 people killed, and the eventual 2799 02:39:38,300 --> 02:39:40,540 downfall of the Prime Minister herself. 2800 02:39:40,780 --> 02:39:44,080 Adam Curry: So you know, to us in the West, it's like some 2801 02:39:44,080 --> 02:39:46,900 people, brown people in some country, making a mess for 2802 02:39:46,900 --> 02:39:52,060 themselves, but if you look just a little bit deeper. So now this 2803 02:39:52,060 --> 02:39:54,880 general has come in, and he's not so that's what we call a 2804 02:39:54,880 --> 02:40:00,300 coup. And the Prime Minister, Sheik Hasina, who. Led the 2805 02:40:00,300 --> 02:40:05,100 country is now openly accusing the Biden regime of seeking to 2806 02:40:05,100 --> 02:40:08,820 top hole her government with a color revolution for her 2807 02:40:08,820 --> 02:40:12,780 refusing to allow the United States to establish a military 2808 02:40:12,780 --> 02:40:16,500 base in Bangladesh and for Bangladesh to cut ties with 2809 02:40:16,500 --> 02:40:20,540 Russia and China, I'm gonna say that sounds pretty true to me, 2810 02:40:21,320 --> 02:40:27,380 especially when you see this, uh, Walker uzama guy, let me 2811 02:40:27,380 --> 02:40:31,460 see, oh, he studied at the joint services Command and Staff 2812 02:40:31,460 --> 02:40:36,140 College in the UK and at King's College University in London, 2813 02:40:36,260 --> 02:40:42,640 also Known as the spook University.

It's like grief, so we don't put 2827 02:41:22,220 --> 02:41:26,240 in any grief or guff or talk back 2828 02:41:27,920 --> 02:41:28,940 Adam Curry: kill bull crap. 2829 02:41:29,420 --> 02:41:33,800 John C Dvorak: Bull crap. No, both bull crap, word for bull 2830 02:41:33,800 --> 02:41:34,160 crap. 2831 02:41:35,780 --> 02:41:38,180 Adam Curry: Little update, we haven't talked about the 2832 02:41:38,180 --> 02:41:39,200 Olympics very much well 2833 02:41:39,200 --> 02:41:42,040 John C Dvorak: before you drove too far. I do want to play the 2834 02:41:42,040 --> 02:41:45,580 Pierce Morgan commentary on Taylor Swift.

Oh, and the 2837 02:41:51,640 --> 02:41:53,740 John C Dvorak: only reason I'm playing this is because I have a 2838 02:41:53,740 --> 02:41:58,000 complaint about it. He's on Jordan Peterson's podcast, one 2839 02:41:58,000 --> 02:42:02,160 of the dull podcasts of the group. And so 2840 02:42:02,160 --> 02:42:04,620 Adam Curry: it looks like someone vomited on Peterson's 2841 02:42:04,620 --> 02:42:07,380 jackets. Is like, I can't it's hard to watch. He's always 2842 02:42:07,380 --> 02:42:09,180 John C Dvorak: wearing weird jackets. But anyway, he's 2843 02:42:09,360 --> 02:42:13,140 Peterson is bored stiff listening to this guy, and it's 2844 02:42:13,140 --> 02:42:16,260 and he's just going, okay, whatever. And so he But he goes 2845 02:42:16,260 --> 02:42:20,420 on and on. He's who knew that Piers Morgan, of all people, is 2846 02:42:20,420 --> 02:42:22,340 a Swifty, an alleged 2847 02:42:22,340 --> 02:42:25,520 Unknown: terror plot targeting Taylor Swift concerts in Austria 2848 02:42:25,520 --> 02:42:27,800 has been oiled the three swift 2849 02:42:27,800 --> 02:42:30,860 Adam Curry: This is not what you want. That's not it. It's, I'm 2850 02:42:31,100 --> 02:42:31,640 sorry. 2851 02:42:33,080 --> 02:42:36,080 John C Dvorak: Annoying Pierce on Taylor. Annoying. 2852 02:42:36,380 --> 02:42:38,780 Unknown: Feel comfortable with winners anymore, you know, 2853 02:42:38,780 --> 02:42:41,980 especially if they're a little bit self confident, and yet, I 2854 02:42:41,980 --> 02:42:44,860 think they're the best possible role models out there, people 2855 02:42:44,860 --> 02:42:47,560 that can perform in the cauldron of great sports or 2856 02:42:47,560 --> 02:42:48,280 entertainment, 2857 02:42:49,720 --> 02:42:53,980 Adam Curry: cauldron, cauldron, witchcraft. Anybody. People 2858 02:42:53,980 --> 02:42:56,680 Unknown: that can perform in the cauldron of great sports or 2859 02:42:56,680 --> 02:43:00,040 entertainment, whatever it may be. You know, I watched all this 2860 02:43:00,040 --> 02:43:03,180 sort of jealous sniping about Taylor Swift, for example, and 2861 02:43:03,180 --> 02:43:06,420 then I went to her concert at Wembley, absolutely mind blowing 2862 02:43:06,540 --> 02:43:09,360 experience. It's not because she's the best singer in the 2863 02:43:09,360 --> 02:43:13,080 world or the best dancer or the best actress or the best pianist 2864 02:43:13,320 --> 02:43:15,600 or the best guitarist, even though she does all those 2865 02:43:15,600 --> 02:43:18,720 things, it's just I've never seen an audience so at one with 2866 02:43:18,720 --> 02:43:22,160 the performer, where she gave them what they wanted. Three and 2867 02:43:22,160 --> 02:43:27,020 a half hours of banging hits on a massive stage with huge 2868 02:43:27,020 --> 02:43:30,200 theatrics. Every kid there, including my 12 year old 2869 02:43:30,200 --> 02:43:34,940 daughter, had a fantastic time, but the sniping. She doesn't 2870 02:43:34,940 --> 02:43:39,200 sing every song live. She's there. She's that. She's written 2871 02:43:39,200 --> 02:43:43,840 all these songs herself. She's grossing $2 billion on this 2872 02:43:43,840 --> 02:43:48,520 tool, pro rata, the biggest tour in the history of music, bigger 2873 02:43:48,520 --> 02:43:50,680 than the Beatles when they played Shea Stadium. 2874 02:43:51,700 --> 02:43:53,740 John C Dvorak: Well, this guy funny. 2875 02:43:53,740 --> 02:43:55,540 Unknown: I could have done without that. 2876 02:43:56,620 --> 02:44:04,140 John C Dvorak: I couldn't. And here we go. She has minimum of 2877 02:44:04,140 --> 02:44:08,640 62 different collaborators that write these songs. Yeah, 2878 02:44:08,640 --> 02:44:11,400 Adam Curry: that's clearly Pierce is wrong. On that one, 2879 02:44:11,640 --> 02:44:13,740 John C Dvorak: he says she writes all her own. Yeah, she 2880 02:44:13,740 --> 02:44:17,040 has written a few songs, but the songs, if you look at her hits 2881 02:44:17,040 --> 02:44:21,620 and look at who wrote him, she's not even on there. These songs, 2882 02:44:22,160 --> 02:44:26,720 collaborations at at best. And sometimes we have anything to 2883 02:44:26,720 --> 02:44:29,120 do. We call that collabs. We call that collabs in the 2884 02:44:29,120 --> 02:44:34,640 business, the collabs. So this is a lie, and he's he bought 2885 02:44:34,640 --> 02:44:35,240 into it. 2886 02:44:36,740 --> 02:44:40,160 Adam Curry: Wow. Pierce Morgan buying into a lie. What will we 2887 02:44:40,160 --> 02:44:43,840 what will happen next? What will happen next? All right, I 2888 02:44:43,840 --> 02:44:45,940 John C Dvorak: just thought it was an important Clip to play, 2889 02:44:46,000 --> 02:44:49,600 if nothing else, into here. Jordan, Peterson, go, okay, 2890 02:44:50,860 --> 02:44:52,900 Adam Curry: yeah. Well, Peterson, by him, he's not very 2891 02:44:52,900 --> 02:44:55,000 dynamic. Anyways, he's not dynamic. 2892 02:44:55,660 --> 02:44:58,000 John C Dvorak: No, he's actually a good guest with and if he has, 2893 02:44:58,180 --> 02:45:04,020 if he put him with a dynamic. Post and he's the guest, it 2894 02:45:04,020 --> 02:45:08,400 picks his energy up, but him being the host, it drops the 2895 02:45:08,400 --> 02:45:11,100 energy in the whole podcast. As they said, I'm surprised Pierce 2896 02:45:11,100 --> 02:45:14,040 even got this worked up, but he's big Taylor Swift Fan. 2897 02:45:14,100 --> 02:45:18,060 Adam Curry: I mean, you know, Darren and and Peter should get 2898 02:45:18,060 --> 02:45:19,440 together do a podcast 2899 02:45:20,880 --> 02:45:23,180 Unknown: the Tay Tay cast, yeah, 2900 02:45:24,920 --> 02:45:26,960 Adam Curry: we haven't spoken much about the Olympics.

And the Paris 2024, committee has the goal of 2957 02:48:33,200 --> 02:48:35,900 reducing animal proteins and offering more plant based 2958 02:48:35,900 --> 02:48:36,920 options the 2959 02:48:36,920 --> 02:48:39,020 Adam Curry: raw meat, I think they just took it the wrong way. 2960 02:48:39,020 --> 02:48:41,200 That was sous vide. You missed. And 2961 02:48:41,200 --> 02:48:43,600 John C Dvorak: the other thing is that what they left out of 2962 02:48:43,600 --> 02:48:47,140 that clip. I had that clip too, but I was irked by the fact they 2963 02:48:47,140 --> 02:48:52,600 left out the worms. Yes, worms. They found worms in the fish, 2964 02:48:52,600 --> 02:48:56,680 live worms coming out of the fish. It. This is the this is a 2965 02:48:56,680 --> 02:48:58,960 disaster, even though they're making more money than ever. 2966 02:48:58,960 --> 02:49:03,360 Adam Curry: Well, yeah, of course, of course, we didn't 2967 02:49:03,360 --> 02:49:08,460 talk about it, but the Wall Street went crazy on Friday and 2968 02:49:08,460 --> 02:49:11,880 Monday. You guys talked about it on DH unplugged, and you put it 2969 02:49:11,880 --> 02:49:14,040 in the newsletter that we would talk about it. I don't know why 2970 02:49:14,040 --> 02:49:14,820 you did that. 2971 02:49:15,420 --> 02:49:17,220 John C Dvorak: I did yeah, I said. You said, yeah, 2972 02:49:17,220 --> 02:49:18,180 Adam Curry: we'll explain it. 2973 02:49:19,560 --> 02:49:22,460 Unknown: I said that, yes, yes, I 2974 02:49:22,460 --> 02:49:25,700 Adam Curry: saw it myself. I don't know if we need to explain 2975 02:49:25,700 --> 02:49:26,180 it, although 2976 02:49:26,180 --> 02:49:28,460 John C Dvorak: once in a while I put stuff in there that you 2977 02:49:28,460 --> 02:49:31,280 don't mean that. You don't mean, I didn't mean it. I was just a 2978 02:49:31,280 --> 02:49:31,880 joke. Well, 2979 02:49:31,880 --> 02:49:34,100 Adam Curry: you guys talked about mainly on DH unplug, which 2980 02:49:34,100 --> 02:49:36,200 is a great show. You should listen. You can listen to it 2981 02:49:36,200 --> 02:49:39,500 live on Tuesdays at streams live, they have some kind of 2982 02:49:39,500 --> 02:49:42,160 chat room which doesn't work. So they need donations. They need 2983 02:49:42,160 --> 02:49:46,240 help to work fine. They need help. They rag on Bitcoin. Yet 2984 02:49:46,240 --> 02:49:50,920 Horowitz is is interviewing Scaramucci today, so you know, 2985 02:49:50,920 --> 02:49:56,980 all right, whatever. But the the yen curry trade seems to be the 2986 02:49:56,980 --> 02:50:01,620 impetus, or the the catalyst, for this. Which I didn't really 2987 02:50:01,620 --> 02:50:04,680 know much about, but it makes a lot of sense that people were 2988 02:50:04,740 --> 02:50:07,560 basically borrowing a lot of money, because the Yen is you 2989 02:50:07,560 --> 02:50:10,440 can borrow that almost for free. And then they were buying all 2990 02:50:10,440 --> 02:50:13,680 kinds of tech stocks, The Magnificent Seven, and then 2991 02:50:13,680 --> 02:50:15,840 Japan said, Oh, we're going to raise our interest rates. And 2992 02:50:15,840 --> 02:50:18,360 everyone got in trouble. Is that, does that sum it up? 2993 02:50:18,360 --> 02:50:21,440 Basically it would cost it? Yeah. And now, in addition to 2994 02:50:21,440 --> 02:50:21,980 that, 2995 02:50:22,100 --> 02:50:24,140 John C Dvorak: that out of the blue because they had negative 2996 02:50:24,140 --> 02:50:26,960 interest rates, it was free money. Out of the blue, they 2997 02:50:26,960 --> 02:50:30,440 just go, we're talking about lowering interest rate. I don't 2998 02:50:30,440 --> 02:50:32,960 want to get into this too. No, no, we're talking about lowering 2999 02:50:32,960 --> 02:50:37,460 interest rates in this country, almost 50 basis points. We're 3000 02:50:37,460 --> 02:50:41,860 now talking and they out of the blue. They just raised, like 3001 02:50:41,860 --> 02:50:46,240 blew everybody's money. It was great. It caused a collapse. 3002 02:50:46,240 --> 02:50:48,460 Adam Curry: But along with that, and even though I think the 3003 02:50:48,460 --> 02:50:51,760 market rocketed back up today, who knows what's going on and so 3004 02:50:51,940 --> 02:50:57,400 every all of that is phony baloney, but my beat, AI is 3005 02:50:57,400 --> 02:51:00,900 taking a beating. Just a couple of headlines, and I have two 3006 02:51:00,900 --> 02:51:05,040 quick clips. The Guardian view on the tech bubble going pop. Ai 3007 02:51:05,040 --> 02:51:09,840 pays the price for inflated expectations. Is the AI bubble 3008 02:51:09,840 --> 02:51:13,080 about to burst? AI's two fundamental issues will lead to 3009 02:51:13,080 --> 02:51:16,980 a bubble pop. Goldman, Sachs in business. Insider, yep, it's all 3010 02:51:16,980 --> 02:51:24,080 happening. And here's Yahoo News. A lot of people who are 3011 02:51:24,080 --> 02:51:27,080 unsophisticated investors use Yahoo finance.yahoo.com, 3012 02:51:30,500 --> 02:51:32,420 Unknown: case in point, I really see 3013 02:51:32,480 --> 02:51:35,720 John C Dvorak: the easy way to look at charts, but a lot of 3014 02:51:35,900 --> 02:51:38,960 Adam Curry: unsophisticated investors views it for their 3015 02:51:38,960 --> 02:51:44,140 news and information. This is who is this? This dude, Patrick 3016 02:51:44,140 --> 02:51:50,740 Moore had an analyst. I really see, you know Patrick Moore 3017 02:51:50,740 --> 02:51:53,620 John C Dvorak: had used to be a very famous public relations guy 3018 02:51:53,620 --> 02:51:54,760 for AMD. 3019 02:51:55,660 --> 02:51:57,520 Unknown: Oh, interesting. Well, yeah, 3020 02:51:57,580 --> 02:52:02,520 he's now an analyst. I really see two major, actually, three, 3021 02:52:02,520 --> 02:52:07,020 three major buckets for for a I plays. The first one is this 3022 02:52:07,020 --> 02:52:10,860 infrastructure. Anybody who is related to building out these 3023 02:52:10,860 --> 02:52:18,480 massive data centers with GPUs in them, I think are very, I'm 3024 02:52:18,480 --> 02:52:21,500 very confident next 12 to 18 months that's going to be the 3025 02:52:21,500 --> 02:52:25,880 case. And we saw the capital expenditure commitments by 3026 02:52:25,880 --> 02:52:31,100 Microsoft and meta and Amazon. It is absolutely pedal to the 3027 02:52:31,100 --> 02:52:35,600 metal on that. And then there's the longer term, downstream 3028 02:52:35,660 --> 02:52:42,340 right the enterprise software providers that that there has to 3029 02:52:42,340 --> 02:52:47,920 be benefit in a large scale for all this to to interconnect, 3030 02:52:47,920 --> 02:52:52,840 because there is just, factually, an over investment in 3031 02:52:52,840 --> 02:52:57,160 the capability versus the downstream benefits at this 3032 02:52:57,160 --> 02:53:00,960 point and and if that gear doesn't connect, and let's say, 3033 02:53:01,020 --> 02:53:06,300 12 months, what's going to happen is the investors of these 3034 02:53:06,300 --> 02:53:09,720 enterprise software companies are going to be asking, you 3035 02:53:09,720 --> 02:53:13,620 know, where's the benefit? And have super pressure on these 3036 02:53:13,620 --> 02:53:19,200 companies to start scaling back. And that is when all bets are 3037 02:53:19,200 --> 02:53:19,560 off. 3038 02:53:20,100 --> 02:53:23,960 Adam Curry: This is gonna come apart so beautifully. Every 3039 02:53:23,960 --> 02:53:27,560 single day I receive emails from dudes named Ben like, oh man, we 3040 02:53:27,560 --> 02:53:31,460 had to implement one of these AI things. It's just a stupid chat 3041 02:53:31,460 --> 02:53:37,160 bot. Our customers hate it. We hate it. It doesn't work. 20% 3042 02:53:37,580 --> 02:53:42,940 25% 30% of the answers it gives us wrong. It's not it's not 3043 02:53:42,940 --> 02:53:46,600 working. Now this your buddy Patrick, did have a an 3044 02:53:46,600 --> 02:53:49,960 interesting side note here, but I think he's reading this the 3045 02:53:49,960 --> 02:53:51,160 tea leaves the wrong way. 3046 02:53:51,160 --> 02:53:54,340 Unknown: And then the final thing I want to add is I still 3047 02:53:54,340 --> 02:54:00,600 think there's this on tapped opportunity, which is the AI PC 3048 02:54:00,600 --> 02:54:03,660 and AI smartphones. You know, we saw a little bit on the AI 3049 02:54:03,660 --> 02:54:07,620 smartphones related to Apple. We saw a slight bump on that. But 3050 02:54:07,620 --> 02:54:11,280 when you consider there's only one generation of Apple 3051 02:54:11,280 --> 02:54:16,980 smartphones that can do all the AI tricks out there, and then 3052 02:54:16,980 --> 02:54:20,660 people are gonna have to buy new smartphones, new tablets and 3053 02:54:20,660 --> 02:54:24,860 even even new Macs. That's really, I think good news for 3054 02:54:24,860 --> 02:54:29,540 companies like Apple and Qualcomm and even AMD and Intel. 3055 02:54:29,600 --> 02:54:32,420 Adam Curry: I see it exactly the opposite. I don't think a single 3056 02:54:32,420 --> 02:54:36,800 person is going to want to buy a new phone that costs even more 3057 02:54:36,800 --> 02:54:41,860 because of AI tricks. I think it's going to hurt apple. My 3058 02:54:41,860 --> 02:54:43,660 God, I don't think I want this thing. 3059 02:54:43,660 --> 02:54:46,000 John C Dvorak: You have a you have a negative attitude. Of 3060 02:54:46,000 --> 02:54:48,760 course, this is very, very negative, and you are very 3061 02:54:48,760 --> 02:54:51,940 negative. My son, who works in AI, well, 3062 02:54:51,940 --> 02:54:55,780 Adam Curry: Jesus, he thinks it's the best thing. No, 3063 02:54:55,780 --> 02:54:58,660 John C Dvorak: no. He says, Okay. He says something that you 3064 02:54:58,660 --> 02:55:01,200 can put in the Red Book. And I. Think it's good. I think he 3065 02:55:01,200 --> 02:55:06,060 might be right. He thinks that it's got, it's got enough legs 3066 02:55:06,120 --> 02:55:12,600 to go two more years. Wow. In other words, no, yeah, not. Most 3067 02:55:12,600 --> 02:55:16,920 people that see bubbles like you do, or you know this, this idea 3068 02:55:16,980 --> 02:55:23,480 of being a bubble head, always are premature, and I'm guessing 3069 02:55:23,480 --> 02:55:28,160 he's probably right about the two years now, that means we'll 3070 02:55:28,160 --> 02:55:34,340 have our cable business in place. Yes, because it's only 3071 02:55:34,340 --> 02:55:36,080 going to take us about a year to do it. 3072 02:55:38,480 --> 02:55:41,380 Adam Curry: Oh, wow, that's good. Our exit strategy is, 3073 02:55:41,380 --> 02:55:45,040 strategy is on deck. I love it, and then maybe I'll be able to 3074 02:55:45,040 --> 02:55:48,520 afford a better supplier of my Dr Pepper. I got another flat 3075 02:55:48,520 --> 02:55:49,000 can. 3076 02:55:50,140 --> 02:55:53,740 John C Dvorak: Wow, the fact that you have, man, 3077 02:55:53,740 --> 02:55:56,080 Adam Curry: that was beautiful. I timed it beautifully, 3078 02:55:57,700 --> 02:56:01,740 John C Dvorak: I'm telling you, having been a can inspector, 3079 02:56:01,860 --> 02:56:05,700 yeah, yes, in more ways than one, I say yes, but having been 3080 02:56:05,700 --> 02:56:10,140 a can Inspector, I would say the likelihood of running into two 3081 02:56:10,320 --> 02:56:16,380 bad cans from the same company in your lifetime is remote. 3082 02:56:18,780 --> 02:56:23,240 Remote, very remote. I think in my whole life, I have run into 3083 02:56:23,240 --> 02:56:28,460 maybe one bad can ever besides the ones I was inspecting and I 3084 02:56:28,460 --> 02:56:32,900 saw. That's what weird, weird 3085 02:56:34,460 --> 02:56:37,340 Unknown: donation to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could 3086 02:56:37,340 --> 02:56:38,240 do that. Oh yeah, that'd 3087 02:56:38,240 --> 02:56:40,120 be fun. No agenda. It. 3088 02:56:46,000 --> 02:56:49,420 Adam Curry: So here I am trying to look at the batch number, and 3089 02:56:49,480 --> 02:56:56,920 of course, I spill it all over my that that was not good, that, 3090 02:56:56,920 --> 02:57:00,720 in fact, that is very bad, because this is sugar, and this 3091 02:57:00,720 --> 02:57:04,860 sugar water will get into my midi controller and will ruin 3092 02:57:04,860 --> 02:57:08,160 it. Would you spill it on the computer? No, the MIDI 3093 02:57:08,160 --> 02:57:10,440 controller mixer, which I use for, 3094 02:57:10,560 --> 02:57:12,960 John C Dvorak: oh, well, it's just said, yeah, there's 3095 02:57:13,500 --> 02:57:14,640 nothing. There's ways to do. Do 3096 02:57:14,700 --> 02:57:16,020 Adam Curry: you have any lube or something? 3097 02:57:16,200 --> 02:57:19,020 John C Dvorak: This is like the, no, I got no lube. This is like 3098 02:57:19,020 --> 02:57:21,560 the guy with the holding a can. He say, What time is it? He 3099 02:57:21,560 --> 02:57:22,820 dumps the can on himself. 3100 02:57:22,880 --> 02:57:26,600 Adam Curry: That's pretty much what I just did like a moron. 3101 02:57:27,140 --> 02:57:30,800 Anyway, I think I have a, I have a lawsuit on my hands. Two, two 3102 02:57:30,800 --> 02:57:35,300 cans in one batch is not good. It's not good, and it ruined, 3103 02:57:35,360 --> 02:57:36,560 ruined my equipment. 3104 02:57:37,340 --> 02:57:40,220 John C Dvorak: Anyway, from the same batch that you purchased, I 3105 02:57:40,220 --> 02:57:43,240 think so, yeah. Oh, it's like hard disks. 3106 02:57:44,440 --> 02:57:47,020 Adam Curry: Did you get my hard disk? By the way? Yes, I did. 3107 02:57:47,020 --> 02:57:47,260 Thank 3108 02:57:47,260 --> 02:57:48,940 John C Dvorak: you very much. I got the hard disk and 3109 02:57:49,120 --> 02:57:53,500 everything. And you scribble all over the hard disk, which is 3110 02:57:53,560 --> 02:57:54,100 funny, 3111 02:57:54,220 --> 02:57:57,100 Adam Curry: with a with a with a silver Magic Marker, with 3112 02:57:57,100 --> 02:57:59,260 John C Dvorak: a silver pin, yes, which everyone should have 3113 02:57:59,260 --> 02:58:02,280 it. That's a tip of the day is the silver sharpie. They're very 3114 02:58:02,280 --> 02:58:02,580 handy. 3115 02:58:02,700 --> 02:58:04,980 Adam Curry: Silver sharpies are great. Hey, let's thank some 3116 02:58:04,980 --> 02:58:07,920 people who came in $50 or above, John will read them off for you. 3117 02:58:07,920 --> 02:58:10,800 And of course, there'll be several congratulations for the 3118 02:58:10,860 --> 02:58:14,160 36 wedding anniversary of my partner and his lovely wife, who 3119 02:58:14,160 --> 02:58:19,380 also does a lot for the show, often unmentioned behind the 3120 02:58:19,380 --> 02:58:24,320 scenes, she does all of our tax accounting, which is very 3121 02:58:24,320 --> 02:58:30,140 annoying, and she for her, and she does the meetups and manages 3122 02:58:30,140 --> 02:58:33,800 all that. And we love her. Mimi is awesome.

Lay 3294 03:11:13,320 --> 03:11:15,780 away. I'm utterly confused as to how I'm to become an official 3295 03:11:15,780 --> 03:11:18,060 night of the Round Table. Was not that hard. It's working. 3296 03:11:18,300 --> 03:11:21,560 I've been listening for almost 10 years, and would think I 3297 03:11:21,560 --> 03:11:24,740 would be in tune with the system by now. I would like to ask for 3298 03:11:24,740 --> 03:11:29,480 relationship karma. Yeah, as I'm a half century old and living 3299 03:11:29,480 --> 03:11:33,080 alone with my tiny dog Patty in the little college town of San 3300 03:11:33,080 --> 03:11:36,740 Marcos, Texas.

There's a nice 3303 03:11:44,020 --> 03:11:46,480 little airport there too, as well. There aren't as many 3304 03:11:46,480 --> 03:11:49,360 keepers around that fit my age preference. So it's been slim 3305 03:11:49,360 --> 03:11:52,360 pickings.

Pin trading, pin trading, 3434 03:19:02,700 --> 03:19:05,700 Unknown: dozens of passionate pin traders and collectors were 3435 03:19:05,700 --> 03:19:09,660 fervently exchanging pins in the heart of Paris last week. Many 3436 03:19:09,660 --> 03:19:12,120 call it an unofficial Olympic sport. 3437 03:19:12,900 --> 03:19:16,620 A pin specialist from the US advises newcomers to prepare 3438 03:19:16,620 --> 03:19:19,980 their pins in advance. They can do that by purchasing them 3439 03:19:19,980 --> 03:19:23,180 online and bringing them to the Olympics. The best 3440 03:19:23,180 --> 03:19:26,720 thing to do if you want to trade pins is to come to the games or 3441 03:19:26,720 --> 03:19:30,620 come to an event with with pins that you have to trade. If you 3442 03:19:30,620 --> 03:19:33,920 buy them at stores here, they're very expensive, but if you can 3443 03:19:33,920 --> 03:19:37,280 buy them cheaper on eBay, people buy them in bulk and eBay older 3444 03:19:37,280 --> 03:19:40,480 pins and bring them and trade them.

There are 1000s of 3447 03:19:47,920 --> 03:19:50,740 people that fed trade. They're probably more pin traders than 3448 03:19:50,740 --> 03:19:54,340 their athletes, if you think of it that way. I mean, we set this 3449 03:19:54,340 --> 03:19:56,440 up today, and there was no advertising. We just put 3450 03:19:56,440 --> 03:19:58,660 something on Facebook and said, Come the 3451 03:19:58,660 --> 03:20:01,680 pin trading fair. Gathered.

People love coming here and trading, 3462 03:20:35,360 --> 03:20:38,120 interacting, and it becomes very addictive. 3463 03:20:38,600 --> 03:20:42,220 National organizing committees, sporting federations, media 3464 03:20:42,220 --> 03:20:45,940 companies and sponsors all offer their enameled mementos. 3465 03:20:46,060 --> 03:20:48,820 Adam Curry: So this is a tip for dorks. 3466 03:20:51,100 --> 03:20:53,560 John C Dvorak: It's a tip for people who trade pins in this a 3467 03:20:53,560 --> 03:20:55,120 bigger group than you think. 3468 03:20:55,180 --> 03:20:57,580 Adam Curry: Yeah, of darks flare. 3469 03:20:57,640 --> 03:21:02,760 John C Dvorak: You.

You take mine, but no pin 3473 03:21:12,480 --> 03:21:14,520 trading. So what is the tip? Then 3474 03:21:15,600 --> 03:21:18,300 John C Dvorak: the tip is to buy your pins in advance from eBay 3475 03:21:18,300 --> 03:21:22,760 and then take them there and wholesale and ramp up. 3476 03:21:22,940 --> 03:21:24,860 Adam Curry: Okay, great tip, John. 3477 03:21:27,080 --> 03:21:29,120 John C Dvorak: I have a second tip, or I can push the second 3478 03:21:29,120 --> 03:21:30,980 tip. No, no. Running out of time. I 3479 03:21:30,980 --> 03:21:34,760 Adam Curry: need to hear the tip. I need more tip. No, 3480 03:21:35,960 --> 03:21:41,440 John C Dvorak: you would. So I'm in Slovenia, floating around. 3481 03:21:42,820 --> 03:21:45,940 And they bring up interesting point up, and I'm going to this 3482 03:21:45,940 --> 03:21:50,860 is the tip they claim in Slovenia. They claim this, that 3483 03:21:50,860 --> 03:21:56,260 pumpkin seed oil if you if you ingest it, and they have it if 3484 03:21:56,260 --> 03:21:59,200 you go to, like, any restaurant there, and the salad bars always 3485 03:21:59,200 --> 03:22:02,820 have, like, the oil and vinegar, but they also have a big thing 3486 03:22:02,820 --> 03:22:08,100 of pumpkin seed oil that you put on the salad. And they claim 3487 03:22:08,100 --> 03:22:10,560 that pumpkin seed, you use pumpkin seed oil, and this is 3488 03:22:10,560 --> 03:22:14,820 not, I'm not giving medical advice, but they've sincerely 3489 03:22:14,820 --> 03:22:20,840 believed that pumpkin seed oil prevents prostate cancer. Wow. 3490 03:22:22,040 --> 03:22:26,360 They're, they're just a they're, they adhere to this belief that 3491 03:22:26,360 --> 03:22:31,280 pumpkin seed oil no prostate cancer. And so use it a lot. So 3492 03:22:31,280 --> 03:22:34,940 they use it on the salads. And I actually use it myself, kind of 3493 03:22:34,940 --> 03:22:37,580 believing this possibility I've, you know, got a healthy 3494 03:22:38,060 --> 03:22:40,220 Adam Curry: process. There's another butt tip from John C 3495 03:22:40,220 --> 03:22:41,320 Dvorak. And so 3496 03:22:41,320 --> 03:22:44,320 John C Dvorak: here is that. So you go to Amazon has it, and 3497 03:22:44,320 --> 03:22:47,800 there's a French company that that sells it, and by the way, 3498 03:22:47,800 --> 03:22:50,800 they sell it in a small can. You can just look up pumpkin seed 3499 03:22:50,800 --> 03:22:53,260 oil on Amazon, or you can find it at some stores. 3500 03:22:53,560 --> 03:22:55,840 Adam Curry: You can just eat pumpkin seeds. Will that do it 3501 03:22:55,840 --> 03:22:57,100 too? Or you won't get 3502 03:22:57,100 --> 03:22:59,080 John C Dvorak: as much oil as you do from these just you can 3503 03:22:59,080 --> 03:23:03,000 have to eat tons of me sick. The point is, is that this pumpkin 3504 03:23:03,000 --> 03:23:07,260 seed is quite good on a salad. It's very strong flavored oil, 3505 03:23:07,260 --> 03:23:12,780 and it's very nice raw on a salad. And the thing that's 3506 03:23:13,320 --> 03:23:17,340 irksome is that I looked into the idea of of importing pumpkin 3507 03:23:17,340 --> 03:23:20,960 seed oil, and they it's, it's like a it's like an industrial 3508 03:23:20,960 --> 03:23:25,520 waste. Yeah, I was gonna say it's sludge in Slovenia, and 3509 03:23:25,520 --> 03:23:28,340 it's like this. It's like you could get to your 10 gallons for 3510 03:23:28,340 --> 03:23:32,360 $1 kind of thing. But when the when the French make it in their 3511 03:23:32,360 --> 03:23:36,680 little cans, it's like 15 bucks for a small can. So it's, it's, 3512 03:23:36,680 --> 03:23:38,480 I think, a pretty pricey once 3513 03:23:38,540 --> 03:23:42,100 Adam Curry: again, considering what it's really used for. It's 3514 03:23:42,100 --> 03:23:45,520 another lube story. You can't get off a lube. That's what they 3515 03:23:45,520 --> 03:23:46,300 use it for. You. 3516 03:23:47,260 --> 03:23:48,460 John C Dvorak: She is lube. 3517 03:23:50,380 --> 03:23:52,780 Adam Curry: Everybody, good news. 3518 03:23:52,780 --> 03:23:54,760 Unknown: It's good advice. 3519 03:23:54,880 --> 03:23:56,020 Johnson, everybody, 3520 03:23:57,940 --> 03:24:02,520 Adam Curry: that's in Tip of the Day. I love it so. And you know, 3521 03:24:02,520 --> 03:24:06,180 I think people who miss the tip of the day because they like I'm 3522 03:24:06,840 --> 03:24:12,240 tuning out. They miss out on a lot of good stuff. I think 3523 03:24:12,240 --> 03:24:13,860 you're foolish to not 3524 03:24:13,860 --> 03:24:17,580 John C Dvorak: stay tuned. Foolish. Fell asleep by now. 3525 03:24:17,640 --> 03:24:18,480 You're kooky. 3526 03:24:18,540 --> 03:24:20,420 Adam Curry: You're kooky if you don't listen to the tip of the 3527 03:24:20,420 --> 03:24:26,060 day or the outstanding end of show mixes, which are end of 3528 03:24:26,060 --> 03:24:29,600 show mixers always put together as some valuable time and 3529 03:24:29,600 --> 03:24:36,320 talent.

It is a 3543 03:25:24,980 --> 03:25:28,280 testament to her charisma, but it's also a testament to the 3544 03:25:28,280 --> 03:25:32,000 team she's put together, including Tim Walton. It's 3545 03:25:32,060 --> 03:25:36,020 really interesting to see a vice presidential pick generate this 3546 03:25:36,020 --> 03:25:38,660 kind of extra energy for this you know, we all talk about do 3547 03:25:38,660 --> 03:25:42,280 no harm with the pick, or maybe have an impact on a particular 3548 03:25:42,280 --> 03:25:42,520 state. 3549 03:25:43,720 --> 03:25:49,180 The pairing is actually quite magical. How you feel about 3550 03:25:49,180 --> 03:25:53,980 Trump calling Kamala Harris alone she is. She's welcome as 3551 03:25:53,980 --> 03:26:01,080 career prosecutors and shoppers from character deficits. She's 3552 03:26:01,080 --> 03:26:04,380 one of these people that has absolutely no connection with 3553 03:26:04,380 --> 03:26:08,160 what the hell with going on?
