John C Dvorak: UK's got all these issues. It's got issues.
Adam Curry: I've heard there's issues. Adam curry, John C
Dvorak, Thursday, August, 22 2024 this is your award winning
giver. Nation media as fascination. Episode 1688,
Unknown: this is no agenda.
Adam Curry: Four more years of bus and broadcasting live from
the heart of the Texas hill country here in FEMA Region,
number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
John C Dvorak: and from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all
saying save the brown bear. I'm John C Dvorak
Unknown: Buzzkill. In the morning,
Adam Curry: we're not saying save the brown bear.
John C Dvorak: Brown Bear is an endangered species, and the bear
we normally think of as bears around here, or black bears, is
a different bear. I
Adam Curry: did not and I'm so happy to know this. Does he poop
in the woods, though, is the big question.
John C Dvorak: They all poop in the woods.
Adam Curry: I know you're a little irked. Yeah, we've been
working on our exit strategy for about 16 years and eight months.
The curry Dvorak microphone company is supposed to be the
exit strategy. And you brought out a dog. Man, before the
before the show what that was a dog.
John C Dvorak: Hello. What are you gonna do?
Adam Curry: Well, can I, can I lift your spirits?
Unknown: You have something funny, uplifting.
Adam Curry: I am using the curry one beta, and I love it. Are
John C Dvorak: you talking about that? That dynamic? Yes, sounds
exactly the same. It's,
Adam Curry: it's, it has a it sounds exactly the same. Has a
little bit more, I mean, I haven't put on the scope yet,
but has a little bit more punch to it, just a tiny bit.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you say that. I it's, to me, it sounded
well, you're listening through and I'm not using headphones,
I'm using speakers. So, yeah, yeah, to me, I, if you hadn't
told me that, I wouldn't have thought exactly, and
Adam Curry: I wasn't going to tell you, and but you were so
bummed out about that. That absolute dog you brought,
John C Dvorak: isn't that a nice little mic though, that when you
got there,
Unknown: oh, no, this. Did
John C Dvorak: you unscrew the top of it? No, no, this. Oh, you
have to take it. You have to feel that the machining, the
quality, the machining. When you unscrew the top, it's just like,
wow, this is pretty.
Adam Curry: I saw the pictures of an unscrewed but forget it. I
mean, what I love about it? It's a front spitter, so I'm spitting
down the tube. It's tiny, favorite compared to the EV 320
because this one, I'm comparing it to the EV 320 it is
beautiful. I have to size, yeah? Ah, no, it's a third of the
size.
John C Dvorak: It's, yeah, maybe 320s oversized.
Adam Curry: Well, because that's meant for kick drums. It was
never meant for podcasting. Anyway, anyway, there you go.
That should make you happy, but we're just a
John C Dvorak: step in the right direction.
Adam Curry: What more do we need? We're done. Slap a logo on
it. We're good to go. I'm happy this is
John C Dvorak: I still gotta find the valve.
Adam Curry: Okay, everybody four more years. Yeah, exactly,
exactly. Well, we both watched the DNG Democrat national gas
lighting. Oh, my Lord. I see you have a number of clips, and I
can probably add to what you are. These
John C Dvorak: are all short clips too. I should mention,
because it's like, by the way, did you see John Legend trying
to cover the
Adam Curry: Oh man. So it was legend. It was Sheila E and her
which apparently no one at CNN has ever heard of her. Covering.
Let's go crazy by Prince.
John C Dvorak: And you realize that John, legend has no range
in his voice. And you and you also realize that Prince was
really good because this, he just botched this thing.
Adam Curry: I like her, though she was, she's pretty good.
John C Dvorak: She got to she the was guitar player, the
drummer, guitar. Sheila
Adam Curry: E is the drummer, percussionist, drummer. Yeah,
well,
John C Dvorak: her was, she did end the guitar solo and a
tribute to Kamala Harris on her back with her legs.
Adam Curry: Man, oh, man,
John C Dvorak: but tell me I'm wrong.
Unknown: No.
Adam Curry: So all right, since you brought that up, I'll just
say being a very close watch, and I watched all of night one,
almost got in marital trouble for it. Then, oh, went
John C Dvorak: on forever.
Adam Curry: Tina's like, I'm going to bed. This is no good.
I'm sorry she went I'm going to bed, honey. Night Two, I kind of
skipped most of it, though. I. Had the yahoo, yahoo, the
YouTube TV in one ear while we were watching something else.
Oh,
John C Dvorak: you're double dueling, double double dipping,
double
Adam Curry: double dueling. I
John C Dvorak: like that. Double dueling, double dueling shows
you get one against the other. Was, I can't do that.
Adam Curry: We've been watching Veep, so I was double dueling
watching Veep while watching this was odd, because it's so
close in synchronicity with season five. So, of course, but
really the first night I'm waiting for Joe to come out.
John C Dvorak: Wait a long time. I
Adam Curry: did wait a long time, and I was waiting to see
if it was long daddy, long legs. And here are my observations.
First of all, they did not show him walking on the stage or on
the stage until the very end, but from the waist up, when he
went to go hug his daughter, they went to the only time they
went to this top shot of the stage. Never went to it the
whole evening. And and then as I'm watching him, I'm telling
you, this was not Joe Biden, and you can see it in his eyes. His
eyes were open. That not the squinty type eyes that he
normally has. And this was the actor who plays Joe Biden. I
know I'm sounding crazy, but I have more to this. Who just did
his all of the old I mean, I'm surprised he didn't do hairy
legs. He just did all the old material,
John C Dvorak: because that's a def. It was a RE. It was
everything you've ever heard him say. Now, first of all, before
you continue, I will say I did see him walk on stage. I don't
know what camera shots what you were watching.
Adam Curry: I was watching the CBS online live feed. So maybe
it was different. Maybe I
John C Dvorak: think I saw I had different feed. I saw him
walking on stage, and I saw him hugging it without the Top Shot.
So I saw him,
Adam Curry: and did you think that he looked normal height?
John C Dvorak: I didn't see him as the tall one it I was
watching, I also clipped to the Benny show, who was doing a
voice. It was something we've always promised to do. We never
do where they just kibitz while the guy's doing his speech. Oh,
that's fun. Yeah, that's and they said that they he believed
it was Biden number four.
Adam Curry: Well, let me, let me add to this. So then at the end,
the whole family comes out, and I saw Jill reaching up much
higher, much higher to hug him. So that was my clue. And his
grandson with the long hair, who I didn't know it was his
grandson. I thought it was his granddaughter. They were like, I
go, go, go, stand with grandpa. And the kids like, Who's that?
And so this is going to sound very weird, but knowing this
technology has been perfected since family member of my,
members of mine, have told me about it, dating back to 1967
John C Dvorak: I think this this Yes, and just to add to that,
they exploited this idea in the in the TV series, mission,
impossible, yep, and they showed it then and and according to the
disguise expert at CIA, woman who came out and started giving
lectures at TED talks, she said it was available then, and it's
been so perfected that it's ridiculous. And
Adam Curry: you can even look online and you'll see people
with a $300 mask. They just put no it's just a random person,
but it looks so good. I am convinced number one that, and
this is gonna sound so crazy, but I does you sound nuts? I
sound nuts. This was not Joe Biden. This was the guy who does
the voice very well. Just it was his swan song, really. It was
him saying goodbye. Oh, this is my, my last performance,
everybody and get to get a bonus. Subsequently, Nancy,
jacked up Joe, by the way, well, yeah, but it wasn't the jacked
up Joe the way we've seen the other job. Thank
John C Dvorak: you. I believe, I think it's the same jacked up
Joe that gave the State of the Union. And it may be the same,
okay, possibly so
Adam Curry: mask. Look at the ears that it's connected to the
skull.
John C Dvorak: The weird thing about the ears is his right ear
was longer than his left ear. Did you notice this? Yes,
Adam Curry: I did, and I paid very close attention this. But
I'm going to tell you something else now, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary
Clinton, Bill Clinton, possibly Barack Obama. It's them wearing
masks. I'm telling you. There is no way that Hillary Clinton
looks like that on television anymore. Bill Clinton said, This
is not plastic surgery. I know my way around Botox and plastic
surgery. No, I think that this is, this is the new
Adrenochrome. It's like, oh, we're gonna go out all right.
Everybody put it on. I mean, it was, there's no way they can.
You can't even do that with many. Makeup, no way. Nancy
Pelosi, she is a 90 you cannot look like that. And her eyes
were so deep in her skull, it was like they were at the back
of her head.
John C Dvorak: She was old, thick mask. Ah, so,
Adam Curry: so I'm just saying that there's barely move her
mouth. There's something really awful,
John C Dvorak: something where she gave a speech chewing or
cud,
Adam Curry: there was some rubber from the mask in her
mouth. The only one not wearing a mask was Michelle Obama. That
was Michelle like, and it was just, there is no way. And it's
irksome to me because, remember, people didn't even know they
changed out Aunt Viv on, was that on Fresh Prince. I mean
people, they've changed out people in TV series, and no one
notices. It happens all the time. And when you see these
videos of someone putting on one of these masks, you're like,
right away, your whole brain goes, Wow, this is a person I
cannot see. It's a mask. I think that's what we're doing now. And
by the way, I want in, I want to look that good when I do my
meetups. Fantastic. So with that out of the way, we can go on to
the gaslighting. Because if they weren't marrying wearing masks
of rubber, then they were definitely wearing masks that
obfuscate their lies in wickedness. What a bunch of
horrible, horrible people with nothing other to say than Trump
sucks. Project 2025 and go, go black woman, it's like, whoa.
Oh, my God. So
John C Dvorak: the project 2025 is such a red herring
Unknown: with the big
John C Dvorak: book, with the big, giant book. Who Whose idea
was this, the Heritage Foundation. This was a setup.
Adam Curry: Well again, the whole, probably the whole beauty
of it is the only people who have read it includes me. And as
I said, you could have done these 900 pages in 30 pages, but
they ran it through chat GPT, and it came out to this big,
flowery, well, that language, but it's what, you know, it's
like, oh, it's Handmaid's Tale. No, no, it's not. It's and then,
you know, did you see the woman who came on? I forget who she
was, the she brought out the book the first time, the first
night, and she she had this weird tic where her tongue kept
slithering out of her mind.
John C Dvorak: I did not see that. Oh, man,
Adam Curry: and she's a lizard. Well, no, it's, remember, this
is, this is the, the old FBI slash, CIA interrogation,
observation, when someone says something they and then their
tongue comes out. That means, Bs, I'm lying and but she had it
was like a tick with her. Who was that woman? And you can see
it online. You'll see the videos everywhere. And all sudden, it's
like her tongue camera almost touched her chin, and she would
do it in between. Lies about this project, 2025 but the
dramatization of this big book, which these people have not
read, the only one who did kind of a good take on it was Keenan
Thompson from SNL, because, because he brought in, he had a
good a good bit, I have 30 seconds of it. You
Unknown: ever seen a document that could kill a small animal
and democracy at the same time. Now
Adam Curry: he's holding the book. I mean, they were passing
it off from speaker to speaker.
Unknown: Here it is. You know, when you download an app and
there are hundreds of pages there that you don't read, it's
just the terms and conditions, and you just click, agree,
right? Well, these are the terms and conditions of a second Trump
presidency. You vote for him. You vote for all of this. Let's
take a look.
Adam Curry: He throws it down to my it's like it's the most it's
the weirdest, performative gaslighting I've seen in my
podcasting career. It was just, I mean, wow. And of course,
these people on the floor, I mean, they're all, they're all
meant to cheer, that's what you do. I mean, it's, it's
apartheid. It's like a meetup. Everyone's all jitty about it,
but man, it's like, seriously, you haven't read it. Keenan.
It's just, it's, it's very innocuous at best. Oh, they want
a downsize government, okay. Oh, gee, that's been a thing. The
Democrats, I think, used to say that at one point,
John C Dvorak: I'm, I'm without words.
Adam Curry: Well, I like the EULA bit that would that that
was, that was not bad. Actually. I have a How about this. I have
a little wrap up from No How about this. Why don't I play a
supercut? Because the whole this, whole evening, last night,
was. Completely centered around the Obamas. I used to they
brought out Hillary. Bill Hillary, by the way, did you did
you hear Bill mispronounce Kamala?
John C Dvorak: Yes, yes, I did. But did you hear but what was
funny to me was that Puerto Rican convention, when they were
doing the voting, no, I didn't hear that the guy from Puerto ri
from Puerto Rico, we vote all our votes to Kamala. So here's
they said, Kamala, which is supposed to be racist.
Adam Curry: Well, here is the racist Bill Clinton. Ask
Unknown: for their help and then follow our leader camel and
asked them, How can I help you? Camelah? No,
John C Dvorak: that's like Pamela and a Camela. Like Pamela
is not necessarily racist, like Kamala. Oh, you. Which is you?
Adam Curry: Oh, I'm sorry you have not been watching the news
channels. If you say Camella instead of Kamala, then you are
a racist. It's the new N word, oh yeah. And then so I went back
into the archive from we had a C span clip when she went to
Cleveland, Ohio in 2020 and with
John C Dvorak: this one where she says how to pronounce her
name, yes.
Adam Curry: Here it is, of course, I pulled that one. Here
it is,
Unknown: hello, Cleveland, Cleveland.
Adam Curry: I You talk right over it. Don't do that. Don't do
that. Cuts off. It's Camela. She says, camel.
John C Dvorak: Well, what? There's still a clip out there.
We had it where she says, somebody asked her, How do you
pronounce her name? Is it camel or Kamala? Yeah, I can't,
doesn't matter. You can pronounce it anywhere you want,
yeah,
Adam Curry: but this is now, this is 2024, now it's racist,
like so many things. So it was built around Bill and Hillary
and then subsequently Barack Obama, I'm telling you, mask,
and then Michelle Obama. And you know, it was built around her
because of the supercut of the media in lockstep
Unknown: Michelle Obama. I
think Michelle Obama's speech was probably the most effective,
Adam Curry: powerful political speech
Unknown: I've ever heard, best convention speeches I've ever
seen by anybody, in any circumstance. She's probably the
best non political speaker in the country, probably the best
detail I've ever seen. There is
no one who has the speech delivery like Michelle. No one
on the political you know, in the political Pantheon, boy, did
Michelle bring it?
She did it with her arms out that sleeveless outfit.
She's mad. Masterful, you know, not only her words, but in her
expressions.
This was a masterful act of leadership. It was a sacred
task. It was like an oasis. I didn't realize I had been in a
spiritual desert as
a white man that was
just so powerful man.
She has got some skills. I'm surprised we still have a roof
over our head. She blew the roof off of this arena last night
that in that moment when you left your body as a piece of
political communication, I'm not sure. I can't think that I've
seen anyone do it better than I saw her do it last night. She is
beyond politics. He
always seems to transcend politics. She's not a child.
She transcends politics. This
was a cultural moment, subtle, deep, thought
provoking, surprising, unusual, perfectly deliberate, stunning
speech. Michelle Lavon
Robinson Obama from the south side of Chicago, honey, was on
that stage tonight. Yes, she preached. Michelle Obama
preached tonight. She gave a sermon to this country. She gave
instructions and things that needed to be done. Vulnerability
in
a way that makes you see one another as human beings. Put
it up there with Barack Obama's 2004 speech, or Reagan's 1980
speech, Ted Kennedy's speech,
John C Dvorak: by the way, you know, you keep kind of
indicating that this was done yesterday. Joe Obama spoke on
Tuesday.
Adam Curry: No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to indicate that.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yesterday was Clinton and walls,
Adam Curry: right? I'm sorry, but I went to Austin to have my
hair done, and I still go important,
John C Dvorak: yes, one more thing, which is they it was
notable that when the Obama bomber spoke, Harris was not in
the room. Oh,
Adam Curry: no, of course not. No, no, no, no, no, no, because
there's mad. They're mad. They're mad. They're feuding. By
the way, kudos to Matt Walsh. Oh, so he had posters all over
Chicago. Says, Find all about, found find out about Project
2025 project 2020 five.com and it goes, it's, it's a spoof. It
goes to his website with his. A, you know, am I racist where he
goes undercover as a soy soy? Boy, yes. So, so how he got
project 2020, five.com is very that's a good hack. I like that
a lot,
John C Dvorak: yeah. So say he's taking a hit from the no agenda
show. We used to do that all the time.
Adam Curry: So I went to have my hair done yesterday. Still go to
the same hairdresser in Austin, because she's a liberal, but
she's from El Paso, so in her dad's like a, you know, Fox News
watcher. And we always can talk very freely. And there's no, you
know, we don't get mad. We just talk about stuff and but I go
there for the hair and hooker report, you know. And she's, by
the way, we're on track. She says, oh yeah. She says,
everyone in the hair industry is talking about the clients not
coming back, people not doing the same extensive procedures,
you know, less color, cheaper color, so we're on track with
the economic indicators. And she also said it is unbelievable.
She had dinner with a friend of hers, who she's known for since
her college days. And, you know, and my, my person, said
something to the effect of, well, you know, it's like
everyone, you know, it's just everybody kind of wants the same
thing. And her friend jumped down her throat. You need to
educate yourself. Do you even know what project 2025, is about
handmaid's sail. So the programming is strong on this Oh
yeah,
John C Dvorak: it's strong. That's the idea. It's very good
work. And
Adam Curry: what I saw throughout this convention,
including the signage, is reframing the term freedom. Did
you notice that at all? Well,
John C Dvorak: I did notice the analysis of the use of freedom,
because yesterday, which was the walls night, it was about
freedom, but mostly freedom to get an abortion.
Adam Curry: Well, yeah, so it's, it is a re all. I have two clips
that'll kind of prove it. I'm sorry, here's Tim waltz. And
Republicans
Unknown: use the word freedom. They mean that the government
should be free to invade your doctor's office.
Adam Curry: Really Is that what the Republicans mean with
freedom? Excellent Tim
Unknown: corporations free to pollute your air and water, and
banks free to take advantage of customers, but when we Democrats
talk about freedom, we mean the freedom to make a better life
for yourself and the people that you love.
Adam Curry: So that was a slight reframing, but Hillary Clinton
brought it home. What do
Unknown: I see? I see freedom. I see the freedom to make our own
decisions about our health, our lives, our loves, our families,
the freedom to work with dignity and prosper, to worship as we
choose or not, to speak our minds freely and honestly. I see
freedom from fear and intimidation, from violence and
injustice, from chaos and corruption. I see the freedom to
look our children in the eye and say, in America, you can go as
far as your hard work and talent will take you and mean it. And
you know what on the other side of that glass ceiling is Kamala
Harris, raising her hand and taking the oath of office as our
47th president of the United States.
Education is liberation. Contradiction is truth. Those
are the facts of this world, and you will all surrender to
Adam Curry: them. May amazing, amazing. And with the mask, it
was great. So the Republicans should go, they should go all in
on liberty or something. They should stay away from freedom.
Because if you really listen to just saying freedom to do this
little thing, you can have the freedom to do that thing, but
you're not really free, as in free American citizens, I found
a dystopian not that I was all jacked up about the Republican
National gaslighting, but, you know, I was just like, come on,
you guys are liars and everything. Everybody had
something to say about Trump. Were they? Was the was the RNC
talking about Harris that much? No, I don't think so
John C Dvorak: either. No, this Trump thing, there's some
numbers that came out. I mean, there's a bunch of Supercuts. I
don't have one of them. I should have grabbed one, I guess. Were
the Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, they're all Trump nuts.
And it was kind of an embarrassment talking about free
though, there. Something free that we should at least discuss,
because I have a good clip on it.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah. I know what was free. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: It free, which, you know, there's not enough. I
guess they determined that there were not enough neutered
Democrat males, and so they decided to bring a free
vasectomy truck around so people can just go in there and get
clipped. But there was a couple of kickers to this. Nobody
mentioned much, but it's mentioned in this report. This
is the DNC clip, free vasectomy, free hot dog clip. Supposedly
Unknown: they are offering free abortions and vasectomies,
supposedly because it's a moving vehicle, it's mobile, and you'd
have to go inside. But they say that they have a long list of
people, and right now they're all scheduled up in offering
free abortions and vasectomies. Wow. Planned Parenthood has been
bragging about their mobile health clinic on social media,
writing, here we come Chicago. Rich Edson is in Chicago. Hey,
Harris, well, there's
more than that. You know, Frida is here. She is a 20 foot tall
inflatable IUD. That's courtesy of the Americans for
contraception group. They're displaying that near the United
Center where the convention is. Meanwhile, the Weiner's circle
restaurant is working with Planned Parenthood and the
Chicago abortion fund to offer free hot dog coupons to anyone
who did actually receive an abortion or vasectomy from the
Planned Parenthood Great Rivers mobile clinic today and
tomorrow.
Ghoulish, ghoulish.
John C Dvorak: Well, I like the hot dog aspect to it.
Adam Curry: To your point, here's Dana Bash from CNN
explaining what men the DNC really wants to reach and the
Democrat party,
Unknown: but they are doing so in trying to put forward male
figures. Tim Walz being one of them, Doug emhoff Last night,
who can speak to men out there who might not be the sort of
testosterone laden, you know, gun toting, kind of guy who
wants to listen to Hulk Hogan and the kind of players that
came out at the RNC, or might want to listen to that. But
also, in addition, understand that it's okay in 2024 to be a
man comfortable in his own skin, who supports a woman. And that's
something that they really are trying to work on with male
voters beyond the base. I
Adam Curry: don't I mean, how many are there of these male
voters? These soy soy men,
John C Dvorak: soy boys, soy
Adam Curry: boys. Yeah, that's,
John C Dvorak: I think there's more than you think.
Adam Curry: I think you may be correct, sir, you know, I can't
figure out the Cuomo kid, you know, he was there,
John C Dvorak: Chris, yes, I
Adam Curry: can't figure I you know, sometimes like, yeah, go
and then like, what are you doing? And any he actually had a
pretty good piece he did from the floor, which was accurate. A
Unknown: big theme here at the DNC is that they're going to go
after corporate gouging, and they're going to go after
corporations, whether it's in taxes, largess, loopholes. Let
me reveal a reality to you that has to be spoken to here. Okay?
These are the soldiers. These are the men and the women that
go back to their constituencies and their communities and they
fight. They take time from their jobs. They take time from their
families. They need to charge these people up. They need to be
able to get them on board. But there is another reality that is
literally looking down on them. Greg, look at the ring of
sweets. Okay. This is not unique to Democrats. There is a game of
money. When people talk about uni party, we are strangled by
the money. Reality in our politics, those sweets start at
500 grand. You think there's like a teacher group up in
there. You think it's like the Cub Scouts of Columbia County,
South Carolina. That's up in those boxes, the media boxes.
You think they're free. Why do you think I'm on the floor news
nation is not a broke company. Next star is a massive
organization. We are corporate media. We don't have one of
those boxes because that's the game you pay to play. Those
boxes are filled with the same people that they say they're
going to regulate. They are literally looking down on the
faithful and being told, yeah, yeah, we're going to break down
on them. We're going to make them pay their share. They paid
500 700 a million, a million and a half to have those seats. They
get hotel suites that are probably gifted to the party,
and they're going to take them down. They're going to change
how it is they are looking down from on high at the people who
make the difference in their communities, and that is the
reality of politics. Well,
Adam Curry: news nation isn't broke yet, but,
John C Dvorak: yeah, I agree it is. It's weird. He's something
schizo.
Unknown: You said weird. Thank you. You're welcome. So
John C Dvorak: there's what he. In so far as what he said, The
One of the ironies of the show was listening to Bernie Sanders
go on and on and on and on about how terrible billionaires are
and they should all die. And then he introduces Pritzker, a
billionaire, a
Adam Curry: billion, or Michelle Obama, saying, by
John C Dvorak: the way, Pritzker comes out and brags about being
a billionaire, or
Adam Curry: Michelle Obama saying, you know, my mom was
suspicious of rich people. She worked at the same bank Tina
worked at in the like, what, I forget what division it was,
but, you know, she, she literally worked side by side
with rich people. Where's this, this disdain and this distrust?
She worked in the trust department. That's it. She
worked in the trust department of the bank where my wife worked
in Chicago. This lying is just lies. And I'm just so sad that
all these people like NPCs, this good show, great show. John
Legend. He's the best, and poor James Taylor didn't even get to
play. I was waiting for that. I'm like, Oh, watch James
Taylor. You know, you got a friend. I always liked me some
James Taylor, they booted him, because after after Joe,
everyone got
John C Dvorak: a friend. It would be a perfect song,
especially compared to, let's go crazy. Yeah, well, that was the
first crazy thing. There's a, I have a clip, DNC clip. This is
the black car. Is a very short clip. This only one that's been
floating around. This is the Black Caucus discussing how, how
they're going to act during the next 7080, days during the
election. We
Unknown: got 70 days to act right? Y'all, that's right. Have
seven days we can go back then Crazy, right?
John C Dvorak: So we've got 70 days to act normal, and then we
can go back to our to being crazy. And so then you had John
Legend singing the song, let's go crazy. It's just like the
whole is so much hypocrisy. Also, they brought watch this.
It makes you sick. They brought out
Adam Curry: an orthodox priest and some pastor at the end of
the night for the consecration. I missed that. Well, yeah,
everyone did. They didn't show it. It was at the end of the
night. Like, what is that? That's odd. So the whole thing
was, I mean, honestly, the show itself. I mean, I can see it
from, from what we used to call an Obama bot perspective, I can
see people, this is what my hair girl said, you know, they all
want to re create the feeling of hope that they had during Obama.
And that's, that's what they're doing with that. I mean, I think
they used hope
John C Dvorak: a lot. Well, that's, I got a couple more,
except kind of back you up here. Okay, these are the Van Jones
two parter. This
Adam Curry: is that van I you know, I love that guy. He's,
John C Dvorak: I really got $100
Adam Curry: million let's remember, he got $100 million
from Jeff Bezos for his non profit, whatever it is. So he's,
he can just show up and he can do whatever he wants. He's got,
well, still,
John C Dvorak: Van Jones. Van Jones on Obama. CNN,
Unknown: I mean, it's I remember, 20 years ago, I was
living in Oakland in a little condo. I had a little baby and a
cat, and I didn't have a TV. I listened on the radio, and this
voice that sounded completely different than anything we'd
ever heard before. Barack Obama talked recasting his own story
as an American story.
John C Dvorak: Wait, what?
Unknown: What American story?
John C Dvorak: Recasting his story as an American? What his
Kenya story, his upbringing in Africa, or whatever that he was
in Indonesia and he was a Muslim. I mean, whatever or
whatever, he's recasting his story as an American. So, okay,
great, we'll listen to that. And then he goes on with part two
here, and with, with the most outrageous thing I've ever
heard, recasting
Unknown: his own story as an American story. And it just
opened up a sense for me, personally, that I had a place
in the country, that I could be something, and everybody that
day felt the same way. And Kamala Harris can do that times
100 because she is because of what it means for a woman to do
this. And I think it's going to be exciting. Tonight.
Adam Curry: They are doing a very good job with with editing
videos, with sound and sound bites, of putting Kamala, Harri,
Kamala, Kamala, Kamala, in that in that same vibe, they're doing
a very good job. She can't do it the way Barack Obama does it.
She
John C Dvorak: can't do anything as let alone. 100x
Adam Curry: Obama, he's masterful at it. And, you know,
she does not have it, but they they want that. And you know
when, when you want something that bad? And I really
understand why people want that. They want to a mommy or a daddy
who's going to fix it for him. And the same with Republicans.
Oh, if only Trump wins, then we're safe. No, no, no, daddy or
mommy in the White House is gonna it'll make you feel
better. Then I gotta fix everything. You gotta do that in
your own community. I won't even go down that road. And and so,
speaking of such, this was the weirdest thing. Oh, I did it.
You got to call me out.
Unknown: I missed it. No,
Adam Curry: listen to what Trump said being interviewed by CNN
about Michelle and Barack. We're also
Unknown: keeping an eye on new comments from Donald Trump, who
is out on the campaign trail today. That is where we find
students. Kristen Holmes, at this hour. Kristen, you spoke to
Donald Trump directly earlier. What did he tell you?
Well, Kelly asked him about the DNC and particularly former
President Barack Obama's speech tonight. I cited the fact that
in 2020 Obama said that Trump never grew into the role as
president. And then I asked him for essentially a prebuttal of
the speech, what he said almost a complete turnaround of what we
have heard him say about former President Obama before. I like
him. I think he's a nice gentleman, but he was very, very
weak on trade. If you take a look at what happened to our
country, trade wise, it was a disaster. The take a look at
Japan. Take a look at China. Take a look at what happened
with some of these countries, what they did, but I happen to
like him. I respect him, and I respect his wife, Caitlin. I
respect him, and I respect him. I expect to respect his wife.
Obviously very different from what we've heard from Donald
Trump, particularly during his tenure in office, when he
repeatedly blamed Obama for a lot of shortcomings in his own
office, tried to undermine his legacy, and before that was the
biggest promoter of birtherism, essentially saying that Obama
wasn't eligible to be, you know,
Adam Curry: and I hear that clip, and I'm a little
suspicious that he might have been talking about someone else
and someone else's wife. I cannot believe that he said
that.
John C Dvorak: That's a good point.
Adam Curry: I mean, I
John C Dvorak: it's a little bit off brand, a little, and I'm
noticing that a couple of things. One is the Republicans,
in particular, the Republicans have gone off the deep end, off
the rails about Trump and how he's, you know, should be, he
should be softer, and he's better when he's just not being
so mean. He's all mean, mean tweets. It goes back to that.
And then now that they and he does that. He does say some,
some kind of does. He does some things that are just mild. He's
the Donald. He's doing podcasts, everything he can do and and as
he does more and more of this being normalized, they bitch
about it. I was watching, God, oh, he's not as funny as he used
to be. I don't understand why he's so much, you know. He's
could give it to him, you know, and he won't. And so it's that
they want it one way, and then they when he gives it to him
that way, then they bitch. I mean, the Republicans are
screwed up.
Adam Curry: I watched, so I listened. I should say on my
ride into Austin, him on Theo Vaughn show, I like Theo Vaughn.
I like his style. I like how he's just the kind of redneck
ish, like Donald good show, Donald, let me ask you this, and
I thought it was very good. He was Trump. He Trump was
interested, engaging. He, he, he didn't. I mean, it was, it was a
different type of interview. It was conversational. It was
conversational, yeah, and I that was an interesting side to see.
I still want to hear him say that Kamala lasts like a crazy
woman. Yes, we played the clip on the last show. Of course, he
has said that. But, yeah, you're right. It's, it's but that. But
that's because it's the same thing on the Republican side.
You know, you cannot say enough, oh, she's a communist,
socialist, just going nuts. She's a nothing, she's a she's
like a pimple, she's no good. Every everybody knows that she
was the worst four months, four weeks ago. Everyone knows it.
You know, that's let me just let me say this, the gas lighting is
also working on people who support Trump. They are going
insane about I mean, to me, this whole thing was kind of boring.
You know, these these conventions are boring. But you
know, when you see a whole bunch of people like yelling and
they're all psyched up for their candidate, it was the same at
the RNC. It's the same thing. But that, but so many. The
people on the right be honest, Tina is not. Tina is not a big
Trump fan. She despises how he communicates, and she's a
professional communicator. She's been in communications her whole
life, but just having the DNC on the show was in my living room.
She's like, I can't believe this projection. I'm like, wow, it's
working. It's working. They are psyopping both sides and both
sides. Do it. That's what you do. It's it's well done then
Unknown: doing it. But it
John C Dvorak: fades. Let's also it fades, of course. To back you
up a little bit, here, I want to play two clips from AOC, your
future President, ladies and gentlemen. Now, one of them, by
the way, is labeled SNC AOC, two that should be DNC AOC, yeah. So
that's, that'll be the second clip. I
Adam Curry: got you. I got you.
John C Dvorak: So the first clip is ao, DNC AOC, now this is from
July this year, July 19, while Biden was still president, this
is what she said on her either Tiktok or Insta,
Unknown: if you think that there is consensus among The people
who want Joe Biden to leave that Kamala, that they will support
Kamala vice president, Harris, you would be mistaken. A lot of
them are not just interested in removing the president. They are
interested in in removing the whole ticket,
Adam Curry: I need to remind everybody, she auditioned for a
job in New York. They said, Hey, you're kind of cute. Come
audition. And she was completely constructed. She thought she was
getting an acting gig, and she doesn't need a mask for at least
2030, years. So she's very, very useful. So,
John C Dvorak: so the point is there, which is what we have
discussed on this show, which is the possibility exists that the
idea was to get rid of Biden and Harris, which is what she said,
That's right, and the bombers were going to control the
situation and bring in some new people, or do a another primary,
do something. And then Biden did the poison pill thing, and right
after he was kicked out, realized that does his best bet
was to give it to Kamala right away, before they could do
anything, which caused the feud between Harris and the and the
Obamas and why she wasn't there. The whole thing's falling apart,
because after listening to AOC going on and on like this,
here's a snippet from her at the convention about how great
Kamala is. In Kamala
Unknown: Harris, we have a chance to elect a president who
is for the middle class, because she is from the middle class.
She understands the urgency of rent checks and groceries and
prescriptions. She is as committed to our reproductive
and civil rights as she is to taking on corporate greed. It's
Adam Curry: the greatest show on earth. 20 billion is what?
John C Dvorak: Oh, no, but great show on earth.
Adam Curry: It's better than that, stupid, where's
Unknown: the elephant? Better than the Ringling Brothers?
Adam Curry: Oh, it is. It's the greatest show on earth. It's $20
billion goes into the elections, and we just, we literally
sitting there like psyop little monkeys going it seals, and we
yell about it on Twitter. It's crazy, because this is all going
to be forgotten in one week from now. We won't remember this,
John C Dvorak: no, but it's fun. While last it is, I'm
Adam Curry: gonna play the Michelle Obama racifying stuff.
Kamala
Unknown: Harris truly understands the unseen labor and
unwavering commitment that has always made America great. Now,
unfortunately, we know what comes next. We know folks are
going to do everything they can, folks to distort her truth. My
husband and I, sadly know a little something about this. Why
Adam Curry: wouldn't she say Barack and I just thought that
to be odd.
Unknown: For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to
try to make people fear us see his limited, narrow view of the
world made him feel threatened by the existence of two
hardworking, highly educated, successful people who happen to
be black.
Adam Curry: Shame on you, Michelle Obama. I'm a shame on
you. You know it's not true. Just that's shameful. That is
that, to me, is un American. By just standing on stage and
calling someone a racist, that's bull.
And shame on these NPCs. Wait, wait,
Unknown: I
want to know. I want to know who's going to tell him? Who's
going to tell him that the job he's currently seeking might
just be one of those black jobs.
Adam Curry: Well written, well done for a racist. It's not,
it's it's ridiculous.
John C Dvorak: I have the one I have a Michelle clip, because
she they were, he was president from 2008 to, what, 1216, 16,
and all these, all that time, and ever since, and that now we
hear this. This is what happened.
Adam Curry: Wait a minute, what happened?
John C Dvorak: DNC, Michelle, taking
Unknown: away our freedom to control our bodies, the freedom
to become a mother through IV and F like I did, those things
are not going to improve the health outcomes of our wives,
mothers and daughters. I knew
Adam Curry: it was Scottie pippens kid. I've always said
that she went through IVF. When
John C Dvorak: did this become news, and how come the American
public just found out about it? I
Unknown: never heard this.
John C Dvorak: I never heard it either, and this is how many
years has she been in the public eye, and now, all of a sudden,
she's an IVF mom,
Adam Curry: which, by the way, was one governor in Alabama who
made some issue, who didn't even say it was against IVF, but that
embryo should be protected. But they've turned this all around.
This is, yeah, what? Project 2025 nonsense, stupid. It's,
please get, go get the PDF for Project 2025 and read it every
night before you go to bed. I guarantee you won't get past the
introduction. It's so boring. And so in the word is innocuous,
it's nothing, but that's
John C Dvorak: what? Because no one's gonna read it. And you can
just say a Handmaid's Tale, and you're good to go. Yeah,
Handmaid's
Adam Curry: Tale. Handmaid's Tale is very different.
John C Dvorak: No, no, it's the same thing. You don't get it.
Adam Curry: What is the the the plot of The Handmaid's Tale?
Just so we can set this project
John C Dvorak: 2025 Yeah, but I'm asking you, what is the
truth? Comes in, Trump comes in, and he makes every woman a
slave, and they become breeders, and it's terrible.
Adam Curry: Let me see what the what the book of knowledge says.
Handmaid's Tale. Let me see what the the plot is, futuristic,
dystopian novel by Margaret Atwood, published in 85 set in
near future New England, patriarchal, totalian,
totalitarian, theomic state known as the Republic of Gilead,
overthrown by the United States government. Offered is the
central character and narrator, one of the handmaids, women who
are forcibly assigned to produce children for the commanders who
are the ruling class. How does that fit with IVF and no
abortion? I mean, the whole thing is, it's, it's crazy. Now,
there was something that happened. I got the report this
morning. And, you know, because we haven't really seen a lot of,
well, I have a protest clip. We can listen to that, but we have
not seen anything near Chicago 1968
John C Dvorak: No, in fact, I think that is because of the soy
boys. They haven't got the enough testosterone to kick down
the damn gates.
Adam Curry: Well, let me play that clip first, then let me
play the have one protest clip. Here we go. This morning,
Unknown: Chicago police bracing for another round of protests
after dozens breached the outer perimeter of the DNC late
Monday. Right now you see protesters having broken through
this barrier, trying to get into the convention center. They
gathered earlier, 1000s of them, to condemn the Biden Harris
administration's handling of the Israel Gaza conflict, the
through line of the dozens of protest actions planned here
this week, the March wove through Chicago north of the
convention center, where hundreds of officers on bikes
formed a rolling barricade hemming them in. Then as they
filled this park, tensions rising. Some of them have wanted
to turn right towards here, and you may be able to see that
barricade of police that scores a convention center, and this
appears to set off some sort of fight that parked right up
against the DNC steel cage perimeter. And they're a smaller
group of protesters. This is something parts of it pouring
into the breach and taunting police on the other side, riot
police are moving in. They're about to push back these
protesters who. First through this fence a few moments ago.
They've got batons right? Police moving in from two sides,
squeezing the protesters out of the buffer zone after an hour,
clearing the park once
they breached the fence, we knew that that was problematic. We
had to put an end to it.
Adam Curry: So the I watched the peaceful protests, people
marching for about an hour each day, because there's several
live streams you can watch all professionally printed signs.
Let me restate that. I'd say 95% professionally printed signs,
all from the either the Socialist Workers Party or the
Socialist Party of it's like a splinter group of the Socialist
Workers Party. They split off, I guess, five or 10 years ago. So
it's all socialist organized protests. Then you have this one
guy who's like the Gaza guy, and he talks to the press. He's
always out of breath, he's a little overweight, and, you
know, it's just Omar is his name, so there's really not much
there. But I thought this, this thing that happened, was very
subversive. They're attributing it to pro Palestine protesters,
but I thought there was an underlying subversive message.
Unknown: According to the DNC Joint Information Center, the
maggots were placed on the tables with food inside of the
Fairmont Hotel around 65 this morning, not long after the bugs
were reported, our camera captured an FBI Evidence
Response truck along with state and local police outside the
hotel. Investigators say multiple female offenders are
suspected of entering the hotel and placing unknown objects on
tables with food. Police believe that women who have not been
caught left the area. It's unclear if hotel staff became
aware of the insect incident before delegates ate the food. A
professor of history at DePaul University says the most
concerning thing to him about the maggot incident is not the
bugs, but the security breach.
Adam Curry: So maggots, yeah, and when I hear maggots, I hear
Maga. I think that's subversive.
John C Dvorak: Maybe I didn't think that, but it's possible,
by
Adam Curry: the way, if you, if you just troll around on
Twitter, and I see you a lot, man, you're you, you're posting
a lot of trans Maoist videos. You're really into that. If you
troll around, you'll see,
John C Dvorak: I repost very entertaining videos people
Adam Curry: should Oh, they're entertaining. They're
entertaining. Yes, you'll see the Democrats. You need. They
put a a wall up around themselves. You need an ID
Unknown: to get in
Adam Curry: there. You don't need an ID to vote. Don't, don't
want to walk around
John C Dvorak: the country. Heard that a million times,
Adam Curry: yes, so it's all, it's all meant to Jack you up,
man, man, Jack
John C Dvorak: you up. I have a couple of clips I want to play
before we get too far away. Uh, these are shorties. I want to
this is Pelosi speech, and I want you to tell me what work.
She was bad. She was no good. No, she's chewing her cud. She's
eating on something, the mask. And I think part of the mask got
into into her. I think that's why she used the word, tell me
that's not the word she uses, and I think it's a good show
title. She creates a new word called imposted. But let us
Unknown: not forget who saved democracy that day we did and we
demonstrated to America and to the world that American
democracy prevailed. The parable of January 6 reminds us that our
democracy is only as strong as the courage and commitment of
those entrusted with its care
John C Dvorak: imposed it, she said, those imposed with with
its care. Did
Adam Curry: you notice that? Because I'm looking at crowd
response. I don't think January 6 got the type of responses they
wanted. Of course not. It's stupid. Yeah, it's just not top
of mind. People don't really see it as the worst moment in our
history, since Pearl Harbor or whatever, whatever we're
supposed
John C Dvorak: to passed over and it's not working. I mean,
Biden was also when he gave his speech. One Biden clip, yes,
which is the one that's been going around you for if you
haven't heard you hear it now, of course, and this is sorry
Biden was doing quite well. Most of the speech into phony. Biden
until this moment, until this moment, wrote the
Unknown: following quote, women are not without electrical,
without, not allowed, not without electro
electoral or political power,
Adam Curry: I lower everyone like, yeah, Joe, you did it. You
got through a sentence. Good. Thank you, Joe. Sign the signage
coordination 10 points, 10 points for this. Oh yeah,
absolutely, 10 points, man. They went from, uh, thank you Joe, to
we love No, we love Joe. And then it was Thank you Joe. And
John C Dvorak: everyone turned and then they went, kept
changing. I wish someone would collect some of the signs. I
would love to get one of these walls heads. Yeah, I think those
are pretty cool. I have two more. I have one more. Well,
couple more. But
Adam Curry: by the way, by the way, just as a parallel so
walls, kid, and I'm not sure what's wrong with walls kid, but
you know that was wrong with that great shot of walls. Kid,
freaking out, being all happy in that awkward kid happy way. This
is exactly the parallel to Veep, where Selena Myers, Tom James,
or whatever his name was, who was her VP, also had a kid with
issues. It's insane to watch this in in parallel to what's
happening.
John C Dvorak: I didn't know that. Yes, let's play this DNC,
pbma clip. Will
Unknown: we be a nation defined by chaos and extremism, or will
we choose a path of decency, honor and continued progress?
Uh huh.
John C Dvorak: Now tell me that's not Obama
Unknown: totally but it wasn't, I guess.
John C Dvorak: No, that was Shapiro. Oh, who I have said
before, and other people have noticed this. He is the Jewish
Obama. He talks with the same cadence. He
Unknown: sounds like Obama indeed.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's just like I just took that small
clip, and it's all it takes. I mean, you can listen to this
whole speech and it's just Obama, and, in fact, it's so
Obama. That is kind of annoying. I think it's going to hurt him,
to be honest about it. Then I have a 19 second mini super clip
about how great this convention was. Short. Short, DNC, short,
oh,
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. Here we go.
Unknown: The people in this room had a great time last night,
exuberance,
Joy. I have not seen so many Democrats laugh, smile, sing.
This
was a legitimate moment of catharsis and love all of
it, saying we can really do this. We're coming out of this
darkness that Donald Trump has put us in.
Adam Curry: Neuro divergent is the term I was looking for, for
Waltz's kid. Neuro divergent,
Unknown: that's height. That's the politically correct way of
saying it.
John C Dvorak: I got into one more to play. Well, I'm
Adam Curry: gonna I'm gonna play one because Tim waltz asked me
to do this. He was very clear. He gave me instruction, and I'm
following orders. So here,
Unknown: this is the part clip. And save it and send it to your
undecided relatives, so they know if your middle class
family, or a family trying to get into the middle class.
Kamala Harris is going to cut your taxes if you're getting
squeezed by prescription drug prices. Kamala Harris is going
to take on big pharma if you're hoping to buy a home, Kamala
Harris is going to help make it more affordable. How does that
work? And no matter who you are, Kamala Harris is going to stand
up and fight for your freedom to live the life that you want to
lead, because that's what we want for ourselves and it's what
we want for our neighbors.
Adam Curry: All right. All right. I did what you told me,
Tim, very uninspiring, but I did what you told me.
John C Dvorak: I'm gonna play a clip. This was off the floor.
And this was row con, you know, because the big theme here on
this convention is corporate
Adam Curry: greed. Yes, the one sitting in the boxes up to
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the ones in the $500,000 seats is good.
Those guys, actually, before I go to that, I do have two clips
from uh, K part and Brooks that took place last Friday before
the convention.
Adam Curry: The show just took a horrible turn. Okay, I'll skip
John C Dvorak: those then, and we'll go right there.
Adam Curry: Oh no, let's keep them. We want to keep them. We
want to keep them. John, is it funny? I can listen to Cape
Martin Brooks, if it's funny. Well,
John C Dvorak: let's they're they're always funny. Okay, K
part is pathetic, by the way, yes, and and Brooks this play K
part, and then Brooks, and then I'll play a real kind of because
this is all about corporate greed, and this idea that's,
this is nonsense of the highest order.
Unknown: She's talking about eliminating medical debt for
millions of Americans, a cap on prescription drug costs, a
$25,000 subsidy for first time homebuyers. Give us some of your
top takeaways from the speech and her policy rollout.
Well, clearly, as we know from the polls, that the economy is
i. They're issued number one, two or three for the American
people. So it makes sense that she would use her first policy
speech to focus on not just economics and just a piece of
economics, because she did say at the top of her remarks that
there are a bunch of other things that she's going to roll
out later, but she wanted to focus on this very narrow issue,
which are issues that the American people say is top of
mind for them, top of mind
now,
John C Dvorak: when I listen to that Capehart and others, and
Kamala and Biden and the rest of them keep talking about, this is
the greatest economy we've ever had, number one, can I mean,
while they're talking about the economy as those an issue, can I
play 30 against your mind obfuscated
Adam Curry: by all of this was the news that came out, I would
say, more hidden than obfuscated. And
Unknown: you know, today we had Listen, the economy had a
terrible jobs report today, right? The downward, downward
estimate of close to a million jobs that weren't created during
the past year in the Biden Harris administration. Gina
Raimondo and asked about it today. She wasn't familiar with
it. She's a Secretary of Commerce, right? Unemployment at
4.3% the highest it's been since 2021 11% credit card defaults,
the highest it's been, and I think since 2009 so the economy
isn't great, and people feel that in their pocketbooks at
home, and we're going to leave here with this great sugar high
in this hope, and then people have to pay their their bills,
and so it's going to be tough.
Adam Curry: So the Bureau of Labor Statistics, whose job it
is, is to report as accurately as possible the number of jobs
created or saved? No,
John C Dvorak: just created, not saved, revived.
Adam Curry: And they've been revising by 50,000 100,000 for
months. Yeah, they do that, and now 800,000
John C Dvorak: jobs is a bit much. So they're
Adam Curry: lying. That's not, that's not an oopsie
John C Dvorak: and and Gina Raimondo, Diana, if
Adam Curry: you have that clip, I don't, I didn't get it. Well,
I'll
John C Dvorak: tell you what they did for people out there.
You just, I
Adam Curry: can literally grab it for you if you want. Yeah,
why
John C Dvorak: don't you grab it? Because she, she blames
Trump for lying about these statistics when it was and then
when she's told us from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, she
says, I don't even know who that is. She's an idiot. And the fact
that, which is one of the reasons I didn't get the clip,
it was so moronic that it was like, I can't take
Adam Curry: it. I have the same you know what's Gina? Is her
name Gina Raimondo.
John C Dvorak: Raimondo, she is our AI thing. Mo in, yeah, I
Adam Curry: was out here it is, yeah, I knew because I was being
killed with it on Twitter. Here we oh, this is the 57 second
version. Oh, that's even better. I've only seen a 15 second let's
Donald
Unknown: Trump is already addressing this on the campaign
trail. Let's take a listen to that one
together. The administration padded the numbers with an extra
listen to this one 818,000 jobs that don't exist. So they said
they existed, and they never did exist. They built them up so
that they could say what a wonderful job they're doing.
So when you hear that, do you potentially think that this new
numbers could be a liability for this campaign?
No, when I hear that, first of all, I don't believe it, because
I've never heard Donald Trump say anything. Truth is, though,
from the Bureau of Labor, I don't I'm not familiar with
that, but
Adam Curry: if this one thing I despise, it's people posting
clips with music. We don't listen
John C Dvorak: well, no, that was the background music. No,
no, no, no, no,
Adam Curry: because I've seen the clip without the background
music. Okay, they just do that. Oh, I'm a producer. Now, shut
up. Stop it. I can't I
John C Dvorak: agree. I thought that 1,000% 100% was gonna say
that. I realized that's no good either. No, you can't, but I do
agree that people keep throwing these music like this. They're
being creative, and it's like ruins the clips.
Adam Curry: Yes, for the show,
John C Dvorak: for us, for us, let's skip and go to Brooks,
okay, who now has a commentary about gouging, and David
Unknown: on this matter of economic policy, the Vice
President is also proposing the first ever ban on price gouging
for groceries. This is something I know you took particular issue
with. It polls well, with swing voters, but economists say the
underlying reasons why prices are higher, it's a more
complicated argument. Yeah.
I mean, she has some good policies in this package. I
think the child tax credit is a good thing. She wants to
deregulate housing so we can get more homes, but the price
gouging is just well. Catherine Rampell, The Washington Post
columnist and NewsHour contributor, said it's
impossible to exaggerate how bad this policy is, and I agree with
that. And Katherine had a good line that, if you're i. Opponent
is calling you a communist. Maybe don't lead with price
controls. And so price controls just create shortages that
create black markets. We've seen it happen in Venezuela. We've
seen it happen the Soviet Union. Price controls just don't work.
What's worse about that? First, it's trying to address a problem
that does not exist, price grocery prices. Inflation has
been less than 1% for the past year. It's over. We had a surge,
but it's over. The problem does not exist. But the real core
problem is it expresses a level of economic literacy which is
kind of surprising in a responsible Democratic
candidate. You know, the idea behind greedflation is that we
had all these years of low inflation under Obama and under
buchas, and I guess people weren't greedy. Then what about
June Biden gets in, and suddenly, magically, they all
get greedy and state price gouging. Oh, man,
Adam Curry: this, you know what? Okay, so I was in Democrat run
Austin yesterday, which is still dirty. It's just dirty. It's
filled with big box stores. South Congress is ruined.
There's no more cute little It's ruined. It's yeah, Lululemon.
Okay, great. So I'm in the hair salon. And you know my girl, she
rents a chair there. So there's three, three women, three
clients. I'm the only dude. I admit it, there you go, and
it's,
John C Dvorak: there you have. It's
Adam Curry: a second floor walk up and, and so I'm sitting in
the chair and my girls putting in, you know, my highlights, and
all of a sudden there's this lady. She's standing right there
with a red shirt on black pants, and, and she says something to
my girl, and I see her like, freeze up. I'm like, What are
you a fed? I kind of jokingly say that. And the lady says, No,
I'm State TDLR, what? Texas Department of license and
registration and so. And this, of course, is not just an Austin
thing, but so this is your overreach. So all these girls
have to have licenses to cut hair. They have to show their
their license. Then this lady walks around the place one room,
walks around like your barbazol is not labeled. What is going on
in America. What happened to just putting out a candy cane in
front and cutting hair? It was disturbing. And you could see
everyone was all, oh, it's like, the Stasi is here. Oh, wow,
yeah. And this is, this has been going on for decades. This is
not new. It's like, No, it's
John C Dvorak: the administrative state gone nuts
and this
Adam Curry: into how come you don't have the sexual harassment
poster on the wall? What
Unknown: it was disturbing.
Adam Curry: It's un American telling you right now, under
curry administration, there'll be no licenses for hairdressers.
I was like, if you shut this down, my hair is going to burn.
Come by highlights in you can't go out on the street with tin
foil.
John C Dvorak: You're digging a deeper hole. I
Adam Curry: know. So,
John C Dvorak: so we hear all this bull crap, and I want to
play ro Khanna now. Ro Khanna is the Democrat congressman for
Silicon Valley. And I want to play this because he's
expressing the he's representing Silicon Valley and in his myriad
of corporate, large, massive corporations, tech companies.
And this is, this is his thinking representative,
Unknown: Ro Khanna, who,
during the event, called out corporate greed. What happens
when you give a corporate tax cut? Intel gets the money. Now.
What do they do? They go buy their stock, or they give it the
dividend. That's what we've been doing for 50 years. That's why
Walt's piled up in Silicon Valley, where I represent in New
York, but it has hollow down community after community.
John C Dvorak: Okay, hold on. They get some tax cuts to get a
deal, and so then they give out dividends, which is what you're
supposed to do if you're you want money, yeah, so somehow
giving out dividends is bad. And then what communities have these
corporations hollowed out? What is he talking about? You telling
me that Palo Alto and Menlo Park and the places where these guys
are are hollowed out? Yeah, what are you nuts? How do these which
brings me to the big question, why are these morons in Palo
Alto and Menlo Park reelecting this guy? Are they? Yeah, over
and over, because the only ridden Democrats that run these
companies, because
Adam Curry: they pay because they pay him, because they got
big money, deep pockets. Yes, hello. Welcome to the show.
Unknown: Welcome to the show. All right, meanwhile,
Adam Curry: are we done with the DNC? Because I'm kind of done
with the DNC.
John C Dvorak: I don't have anything really that good. Well,
I do want to play one last thing then SNC. This is clip SNC. This
is Stephanie Grisham. And I just just have a comment to make. All
right, we
Unknown: are here with Stephanie Grisham. You will remember, she
is Donald Trump's former press secretary. She is now here
speaking at the DNC, because she has been very clear. She has
completely changed her mind on who should be the President of
the United States, and who should not. I just want to ask
you, what was this moment like when you decided I cannot do
this anymore. I cannot be a part of this administration anymore,
and you ended up here speaking at the DNC.
I know, you know, I had tried to resign, actually, a few times
prior to January 6, but Melania had taught me out of it. We were
really, really close. January 6, of course, like I said in my
speech, was the day that I just couldn't be there anymore. I
knew that he knew what he was doing. I was so disappointed
that Melania wouldn't do at least as something to try to
quell the violence, and I haven't looked back since now.
Yeah, to be here is not something I ever thought in my
career or life I would ever beat but I'm proud of it. I stand by
it, and it's been great. Everybody's been wonderful.
Adam Curry: She's a Republican.
John C Dvorak: She was in Trump's press office for nine
months, right, right? I looked her up on C span. There was no
press. She never did anything. She got bumped over to become
Chief of Staff for Melania. And then she and she'd been what
wants to quit all the time. She can't. And here's the deal. She
look, here's the deal. She came from Romney's group. Oh, well,
there you go. This is a classic Trump hire. Yeah. Overall,
there's Romney, you know, I'm trying to be the wrong
magnanimous. And let me give this girl a job. She's just
another Romney. I Trump has got to stop doing this. I
Adam Curry: want to give props to Don Lemon. I don't have any
clips, but he is diligently traveling around America,
sticking his mic in people's faces. Now, these are men on the
street. So you can edit however you want. But I would say 80% of
the people he's interviewing of all colors of the spectrum, are
all saying Trump.
John C Dvorak: Yes, I and this is some people are seeing this
as a setup. He's trying to get work. He's getting attention by
doing this because, because he's get all Trump, Trump, Trump, and
we know hates Trump, and it's either that he's trying to just
get attention, because he's getting a lot of attention. Gave
him attention right there. I didn't clip him, though, no and
no good. And he is either trying to get just get back into one of
the other jobs, or even get a job at Fox. Well,
Adam Curry: he tried. He had that job with Elon, and then he
screwed it up by trying to be a journalist. He screwed that up.
Don't be a journalist. Just do your job. Crazy, and he
John C Dvorak: never was a journalist before. Why now so,
so
Adam Curry: big announcement coming tomorrow, breaking
Unknown: news in the presidential race. Robert F
Kennedy Jr plans to end his bid for the White House. NBC News
and CNN reporting, he'll endorse Donald Trump for president.
Kennedy is expected to address the nation in a speech on
Friday. He was a long shot, but could have pulled on the fence
voters away from the mainstream candidates. And
Adam Curry: here is Nicole Shanahan, his ill chosen vice
presidential pick on a podcast,
Unknown: there's two options that we're looking at, and one
is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a
Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris and Walt's presidency, or we walk
away right now and join forces with with Donald Trump. You
think
he's going to do that?
John C Dvorak: Well, here's the what, what I've been hearing,
and this has been going on for over a couple of weeks. They
were they sent feelers out to like, and they started,
supposedly by contacting the Harris campaigns, and Luke will
join force with you. Were Democrats,
Adam Curry: which, which, by the way, is completely not. It's not
even what was reported. It was reported that he called both,
both parties, but he there was, there's no evidence of him ever
saying other than sources familiar with the matter that he
wanted to join the campaign. I'm just putting that there because,
yeah, no arguments. I
John C Dvorak: don't even I do think that something's going to
happen tomorrow, but supposedly he went to them first. I don't
know why that would come out of the blue and and the thing was a
quid pro quo. Uh, I uh, endorse you, but I have to have a
cabinet spot because he's looking to be to get an HHS or
something. He wants to get trouble
Adam Curry: Attorney General. It's a great spot for his
family.
John C Dvorak: It would then get shot. But Hello, ruin the job. I
think he's, I think, yeah, it was okay. So I think he would
love to be in HHS or something where he has a, you know,
because his real, you know, his legal stuff is all yes.
Unknown: And EPA, sure, yeah, that kind of thing.
John C Dvorak: And they said, we don't think so. And then that he
offered the same opportunity to Trump, and he said, I don't
think so. And that's the way the story goes. And now I guess
there's, you know, Trump, they did some numb, they again the
story. Well, remember, they ran some numbers and it showed that
Kennedy was going to take more votes away from Trump, I believe
that, than Harris. And
Adam Curry: remember the so called leaked call, which,
there's no such thing. Oh, oh yeah. RFK Jr, son posted the the
video. He shouldn't have done that, where Trump calls us, Hey,
man, these vaccines. Too many vaccines. You know, it's too
much for these kids. Come on. That was That, to me, was the
setup, and we identified it as such.
John C Dvorak: We constantly do because he's phony baloney
calls. And it's funny how some of these calls, not that one
necessarily, but as a lot of these calls, turn out to be a
three camera shoot. Somehow, it's amazing. It's like these
reality TV shows where the guy's in bed and then there's he picks
up the phone. Wait a minute, why is there a camera in bed with
this guy so and then and a crew and a guy holding a mic up. I
mean, come on. And then
Adam Curry: this clip from France 24 who clearly, they're
French. They don't have humor. They didn't get the joke. And
also, they build a whole story around it that Elon Musk is
going to join the Trump administration, and there's a
little kicker in the end. I want you to pay attention to
Unknown: two billionaires who did not always get along. Donald
Trump and Elon Musk now appear to be the best of friends. Just
two years ago, they were lobbing insults at each other, but the
Paris forged an alliance. Trump was banned from Twitter for
inciting violence, but Musk recently reinstated him with
much fanfare and a two hour broadcast on the social media
platform. Musk is considered the world's richest man as head of
both SpaceX and the electric car maker, Tesla, during an
interview with Frans television, he implied that he wielded more
power than the US President.
US presidency is like being captain of a very large ship
with a small rudder.
By the way. That's an insane laugh.
Adam Curry: That guy's that guy's not right in the head with
that life. We gonna laugh about Kamala. We got to laugh about
that, like being
Unknown: captain of a very large ship with a small rudder.
So you're telling me you're more powerful than the US President.
I mean, I can't declare war on people
until 2020. Musk said that he overwhelmingly voted for
Democrats, but now he envisions himself as part of a new Trump
administration, posting this AI generated image of himself as
the head of a department of efficiency that he was willing
to serve, something Trump has welcomed. So
Adam Curry: just France 24 not get the doge joke.
John C Dvorak: It was the Department of government
efficiency or Doge the Dogecoin, yes, and the doge dog and yes,
they didn't get the joke. I got the joke the minute I saw
Adam Curry: it, of course. Now at the end here, this is
something that you and I argued about, and you, you, you called
me out for being, oh, you read it in The Guardian, did you? But
I have proof. Now, something
Unknown: Trump has welcomed, I'd love if
it were for you. You're the greatest cutter.
It's an alliance that is ideological and strategic. Musk
is said to be donating $45 million a month to Trump's
campaign. As a result, Trump has reversed his position on
electric vehicles, and
I'm for electric because I have to be, you know, because Elon
endorsed me very strongly. Elon
again,
John C Dvorak: a joke I told you, I can there are plenty of
I've had a clip a couple shows ago is going to bring out, which
I'll go dig it up for the next show, if I have to where Trump
goes back and says, electric vehicles have their place, but I
still think gaska, he prefers gas cars. And goes on and on and
on this bullcrap that the guardians that is nonsense, of
Adam Curry: course, but I but he did say it. And you says, You
said it's not he didn't say it. And I said he did say it, of
course, it's a joke. Hello, of course. No,
John C Dvorak: you were taking it seriously, please. And you
took it from The Guardian. When I asked you where it came from.
Him, you said you reluctantly admitted it. You picked it up
for me.
Adam Curry: No, and I said that I'll go get the
John C Dvorak: clip. And there it is, and
Adam Curry: there's the clip.
Unknown: This is the clip. No, I
John C Dvorak: want the clip of you showing you weren't knowing
it was a gag.
Adam Curry: Oh, please. Okay, you insult my intelligence as
usual.
John C Dvorak: What do you mean as usual? Always, always, always
chicken shit thing to say no,
Adam Curry: because I'm you okay on the next show, I'll bring the
clip, and you will hear that I knew it was a joke, but that he
said it. I said, he said, No,
John C Dvorak: he had, yeah, I heard him say it too. No, yes,
not his
Adam Curry: shit. He didn't say it. I don't care. Let's do
something much more important. Precisely. Your colors have been
seen. No so here is this is the story that I just need to talk
about. Dive
Unknown: teams have now recovered the bodies of five of
the six missing people after a luxury super yacht sank in
Italy. The 180 foot yacht was hit by a possible water spout
during severe weather early on Monday morning, it sank. Within
minutes, 15 of the 22 people on board were able to get to
safety. One body was found in the immediate aftermath, Crews
have been working since Monday to locate the others. Two
Americans are among the missing, although authorities have not
yet identified the bodies recovered
today. Okay,
Adam Curry: so this is the super yacht that capsized. It wasn't
that super but, no, it wasn't. But my I have a different point
to make this guy. Ian Carroll, please stop sending me his
videos. He is no good. The holes that he leaves in things and the
connections he makes. I am a conspiracy therapist.
John C Dvorak: I have Ian Carroll. Oh, he's the
Adam Curry: guy with the long hair, and then he does a green
screen behind him. He's got the sunglasses on his head, and he
talks like this. So
Unknown: we might be witnessing the CIA taking over this crazy
AI tech company, or these might all just be crazy coincidences.
You tell me last night, some freak water spout tornado sank
this luxury yacht off the coast of Sicily, and on board was Mike
Lynch, who's been called the Bill Gates of the UK. We'll get
to him in just a second. But also on board was Jonathan
bloomer, the International Chair of Morgan Stanley, one of the
biggest banks in the world. He was apparently really good
friends with Mike Lynch, and Mike Lynch just beat like this
multi year, super big fraud trial that he got extradited to
the US for. He had a 0.5% chance of acquittal, and he he got it.
And there's a whole other mysterious death related the
exact same company and trial that we'll get to in just a
second. But Mike Lynch founded this company called autonomy
that he sold to HP for a bunch of money. And then he was
throwing a victory party with all of his lawyers and his
buddies in the chair of Morgan Stanley. And then that boat they
were having their party on, like weeks after this trial got hit
by this crazy freak water. So wait, so on June 6 of this year,
they were found not guilty on all charges. And then his co
defendant, Chamberlain, mission of this company, he got struck
by a car while he was out running and died.
Adam Curry: And so with that Jack in the Box, music too. So
he does, he does. He has millions of views, hundreds of
1000s of followers and people. I was like, I like this guy. He's
great. He's really connecting the dots. No, he's not. He's
not. And like, this crazy AI company was a piece of crap
company. That's why he got sued. That's why he got sued, exactly.
Oh, the CIA is taking over this AI, uh, the CIA invented Google.
They don't need to kill people to what end, I just have to stop
this. Stop watching this guy. He is no good. And it's spinning
people up and they're getting distracted, and they're like, go
outside. Go play outside. Play autonomy. Do you remember the
autonomy? I don't. Oh, and then another kind of dark trace, oh,
must be CIA stuff. Yeah. No, they the captain did not have
the keel down on this super yacht. These types of funnels,
wind water funnels do happen in the Mediterranean? Certainly,
there were many eyewitnesses. You can see the video itself.
The boat capsizes. And of course, the crew is up on deck
trying to figure out what to do. The hatch is open and these and,
you know, there's 22 people on board, and 15 drown, or 15 saved
and seven drown the OH. Okay, it happens. Bad day day wrecker,
but please stop with sending me this guy's videos and telling me
he's the best thing since sliced bread. I'm all in on
conspiracies. Didn't land on the moon. I mean, for sure, we
didn't, by the way, I saw that movie fly me to the moon. What a
disappointment.
Unknown: You know the movie with
Adam Curry: it was, it was like a big apple TV production. And
supposedly, it's a, it's a movie about the movie they made with
Woody harrelson's in it that they made, they had a parallel
movie running. And, you know, because they didn't think they
would land on the moon. Is a big I thought was going to be a
comedy. It was disappointment.
John C Dvorak: Comedy, really. That's a funny idea. No one's
done that.
Adam Curry: That's what I thought it was going to be. And
I paid 19 bucks. It was very disappointing, right?
John C Dvorak: Throwing you're throwing money away, yes, what?
Yeah, you pay 19 bucks. Well, you paid 19 bucks to watch
something on your computer,
Adam Curry: no, on the Roku. We watch it on the on the TV. You
paid
John C Dvorak: 19 bucks. Yeah, to watch a movie at home. To
give
Adam Curry: you this report, I do it for the show, so everyone
else can save 19 bucks by not watching yeah. Well,
John C Dvorak: good. They tell people not to watch it. But
holy, holy moly, outrageous fee. I thought it'd be like two
bucks, five bucks,
Adam Curry: where you been no, no, when, because it was in
theaters, when something, it just is still, I think it's
still in theaters, and it's had its two month run, then they put
it on, on the even Amazon, there's lots of new movies. You
have to pay up to that mission, impossible. Also, 19 bucks, and
I don't mind paying for content. I mean, it's too bad it sucked,
John C Dvorak: but you got ripped off. I think I'd mind I
Adam Curry: watched the still watch the whole thing. The art
direction was nice. I mean, I could appreciate it. But now,
why?
John C Dvorak: Why? The opportunity is what camel hair
should be working on
Adam Curry: make streaming cheaper. Now I'd vote for camel
if she made streaming movies cheaper. That
John C Dvorak: should be, that should be five bucks. Next, 498,
498, how much money do these people need to need to make $19
to watch a shit movie at home? Yes. Unbelievable.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, that's what it is. Man, I can't help
it. It's what it is.
John C Dvorak: But that you're keeping busy watching Veep,
Adam Curry: that's free.
John C Dvorak: VP, yeah, well, that's the point. That's what
you want. We actually missed,
Adam Curry: you know, like, eight episodes of Veep would
have fit into that two and a half I was too long, too two and
a half hour movie was too long. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I
know. I feel bad about it, believe me, what's her name?
She's a big name actress in it, ooh,
Unknown: it's, uh, fly me to the moon.
Adam Curry: It's They even called it a romantic comedy.
What's her face? So
John C Dvorak: it wasn't funny. Scarlet wasn't a comedy.
Scarlet, it wasn't romantic. No. Scarlet was romantic for the
people that collected 19 bucks from you. The worst
Adam Curry: part was Channing Tatum. So he the Channing Tatum
and Scarlett Johansson and Woody Harrelson plays like the the
government guy who was like, You got to make this movie. Um, but
the word the worst thing they did was, so they have to
convince all these congressmen to fund the moon mission because
they didn't want to. Apparently, I guess it's historical. And
then one of these nutty congressmen is Colin juice, who
is Scarlett johansson's husband
John C Dvorak: and nepotism.
Adam Curry: But what it did is it took you right out of the
story, like, oh, that's Colin, just dumb, and then taking
John C Dvorak: me out of the store, I don't know the guy
Adam Curry: well from Saturday Night Live. You know the guy, he
does the The Weekend Update.
John C Dvorak: Oh, the Weekend Update. Go, where that would
take me out? Yeah, and it took
Adam Curry: me right out of the movie. I'm like, I mean, I
should have been refunded the money for that alone.
John C Dvorak: You should have asked for a refund. Yeah, okay.
Have you tried?
Adam Curry: Yeah. Have you ever tried to get anything out of
Apple. Come on, nothing. You get nothing from Apple, which, by
the way, is the only bipartisan thing we have in America. This
90% of us use iPhones.
Unknown: Us. Well, not us, not you and I, you. I mean, you
barely have a phone.
Adam Curry: It's just a brick. It's a brick in your drawer. You
put it
John C Dvorak: in the drawer where it belongs to be pestered
all day, but somebody ringing a phone
Adam Curry: anyway, to wrap up all of this stuff, the how
people get crazy about this political stuff, I have a tip,
if someone go. Was off on you, like, Project 19, no 2025, all
you have to say is, were you not heard as a child? I think that's
what we should be saying to you,
John C Dvorak: not heard?
Unknown: Were you not heard? That's
John C Dvorak: actually not bad. Thank
Adam Curry: you. I think that's you can just use that. Were you
not heard as a child? You know, because it stuns people, like,
oh, what? And then they start thinking about their childhood.
And then you can, you know,
John C Dvorak: I have, I have one before we finish the
segment. I have one last DNC clip, which is not about the
DNC, but it was a commercial, okay, that was played on the DNC
show. Yeah, they had on CNN. And I want to, I want, I'm playing
it for you, because I would like you to tell me, there's an ad
for blockchain. I want you to tell me, and with all black
actors, yeah, going on and on about blockchain, I want you to
tell me, what is the point of this commercial? The
Unknown: current system leaves people out you're in the club or
you're not in the with things like
Bitcoin and blockchain, we're connecting
people from all walks. We're
offering education in an industry that can impact their
lives today. This is how we can have a generational impact.
Adam Curry: Crypto and blockchain is about fixing the
broken system and giving people, my community, a voice. My name
is Gary. My name is Doug. My name is Julio, and I'm
empowering my community, my community, my community with
Blockchain. Now, was there a company name on the screen?
John C Dvorak: It was the demo. It was not Democrats. It was
like the American industry for blockchain, some screwy thing I
never heard of but what? How is blockchain giving the community
voice?
Adam Curry: Have you not seen the blockchain? I don't know
that's a good one. You got me stumped. I have no I'm
John C Dvorak: glad, because it got it has me stumped. And I'm
not Next it was like, maybe it was code next time some
building's gonna get blown up next week. But I mean, the whole
thing was the weirdest commercial I've ever seen.
Blockchain is gonna give your community voice
Adam Curry: next time I talked to Mo, I said, Mo, are you in on
the blockchain? Do you have a voice in your community with the
blockchain? I don't know it's, it's DNC, man, they're crazy.
They're all crazy. They're all nuts, and they're nuts. And
meanwhile, I walk outside in the morning with my dog, and it's
just like, it's just Same old, same as a chem trailer, too.
That's disappointing, but otherwise, it's going to be 90
degrees tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful Texas, wonderful.
The Earth is not boiling. You know, praise God. We don't live
in the Middle East or in Ukraine, and we're okay. Stay
away from this overheated rhetoric of poop.
Unknown: Just go read a book.
Adam Curry: Karine Dvorak say, Blockchain, Blockchain. Maybe
that's it. Maybe if we all just check out the blockchain will
feel better about life. And with that, I'd like to thank you for
your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who just put the
sea in the blockchain, say hello to my friend on the other end,
the one, the only, Mr. John.
John C Dvorak: The morning, you Mr. Adam curry. In the morning,
shifts the sea, boost on the ground, feet in the air, shove,
shoves in the water and all the Dames and nights out there in
the morning, we
Adam Curry: are identical to last Thursday, one one less,
1889 versus 1890 so that's pretty much on par. Hello,
trolls. Good to see you all. Here you are checking us out in
the troll room, and it's nice, nice to have trolls. The trolls
are good. Trolls are helpful. And it's just nice to have a
studio audience who now you, you don't look at it, but I am now
so trained that even if I'm looking straight ahead, I see
the trolls trolling out of the corner of my eye. It's,
John C Dvorak: it's because they're writing for you. Oh,
yeah. Oh,
Adam Curry: tons of one line. I mean, I didn't have to show up.
Just throw it through the atom AI, and we're good to go.
John C Dvorak: You didn't get a you got to get a good AI. Voice,
it sounds like you, and just have it read from the from that
from the
Adam Curry: troll room. Yeah, exactly, exactly, yeah. We don't
have a laugh track, though. We should probably add that they're
listening@trollroom.io where you can also hop into the troll room
and listen live to no agenda stream, which is 24/7 the
absolute best way to do that, I find, is use one of the modern
podcast apps. Troll room is in is a part of the protocol for
live, which you cannot get on your legacy apps. And so when we
go live, you get a bat signal. The bat signal alerts you. You
tap on it, boom. You hear the show live. You control along.
Everything's on these apps, podcast apps.com, and you can
also use it to support us. Any 2.0 compatible podcast will take
advantage of the donation link so you don't have to think about
no agenda donations.com you can just be listening like, Oh,
these. Guy's so good, I gotta give him some value. Boom. Click
it. You go straight to the donation page. It's beautiful.
And we do that under the value for value system. Actually, I
had something. Did I have something that we needed to do
in this? Oh, that's for the second No, that's for the second
segment. Value for value, time, talent, treasure. I don't know
what happened with PayPal last week, but it seems like Did, did
stuff get delayed and show up today?
John C Dvorak: No, I don't think so. It just got stuff. What
happened? No, what happened was something. There was a, probably
a outage that went on for at least eight hours, and it was
right during when we do most of our donations, we collect most
of the donations in the out, whatever the outage was, I never
got alerted. It resulted in a very low moment,
Adam Curry: yeah, because I had a wellness check done on the
Duke of Luna and and, and people did that. You know, they say,
Hey, are you okay? Duke of Luna, which I love that. I love our
community. I love our no agenda nation. They so people like
knocking the baffled. Hey, man, are you all right? The the kids
can't see you. And he said, No, something went wrong, and his
donation didn't go through, and it was a break in his what four
year streak, or whatever.
John C Dvorak: Well, we get he's still credited for a
continuation, because he said that he contributed, and he
never got the confirmation. No, didn't think much of it,
because, you know, yeah, and so, and then he never got his
credit, and so he felt, you know, slighted and irked. Yeah,
Adam Curry: of course he did. There may be more people anyway.
You can support us with time, talent or treasure. There are so
many people doing we really need to have people continue to hit
people in the mouth and tell them to listen to the show. I
see a lot of people doing this on x. Make sure you tell your
neighbors send that clip of that Tim waltz told you to clip and
send to your neighbors and say, you hear this. This is crap,
right? You should listen to this show and then send them to no
agenda show.net. That means stuff like that really helps.
And not everybody is going to is going to get it or going to be,
you know, in on, you know,
John C Dvorak: feel like they there are people that do not
like what we have to say, and sometimes
Adam Curry: they'll try two or three goes, and then there's
like, oh, you know. And now I get it, it does happen. And, you
know, the more people we have in no agenda nation, see the Duke
of Luna. Connection is protection. We always want to
thank the people who deliver us some phenomenal talents. That's
our artists. We are one of the few. I think I'm gonna have Dave
Jones run a run a query. I think there may be only 10 shows in
the entire podcast universe
John C Dvorak: that update 4 million, that update their
artwork
Adam Curry: on a regular, on per show. And we love it a lot
because it really gets people's attention. It's like, it's not
just after a while, you know, you see the same artwork for
pivot or for Joe Rogan, like, okay, you know, and you don't
think about it, but when you see the art that, let's see who was
it that Scaramanga did for Episode 1687, we titled that
identified. I got a lot of positive comments. People like,
best album art ever, hilarious, and it was the guy with the
rainbow shirt running away from the monk, from a hilarious
monkey clearing a nod to M pox. And people loved it. And I think
that that reminds people that we're doing the show, people
have busy lives, you know, they're all wrapped up in
looking at super yachts and trying to figure out how, how a
directed energy weapon capsized it. So instead of that, you
know, like, oh well, there's no agenda, I'll listen to the show.
And people do, and I like, what Scaramanga did. We both thought
it was funny.
John C Dvorak: It was funny. Unfortunately, it was the
fallback. Is the one we liked the
Adam Curry: most. Yeah. Was not good and not not the right
dimensions. Everything
John C Dvorak: was wrong about it was capitalist agenda, yeah,
uh, the rolling whatever. The rolling into rolling agendas,
the rolling agendas. And it was a bathroom with a bunch of
graffiti and no agenda thing wasn't big enough or bold
enough. And curry Dvorak thing was you couldn't read any of the
gags. There was tons of gags that were hilarious. The whole
art piece was very pretty.
Adam Curry: I mean, this is something I would print out and
hang up. That's how pretty is it?
John C Dvorak: Gory. It was gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous,
gorgeous in a very artistic way, but useless as the show art,
yeah,
Adam Curry: because that is by the time you shrink it down to
postable size. You know, it just looks like a crappy toilet. And
you don't see all the, I mean, I see the gags he had. All the
gags, cheesecake, love DNC 68 What else did he have? M pox,
thighs. What. That is for a good time. 333, K, A, M, dash, a, l,
A, S. I mean, mac and cheese time. I listen to the best
podcasting universe. It just had good stuff in there. Yeah. And
was there anything else? Well,
John C Dvorak: there's a no, but there's a piece I wanted to talk
about. Okay, which was pod piece by a newcomer, Sean the pan pod
mastery, which is just in the row below. And it's got a guy
laying with his cat. And I just want to mention that if you're
going to do a AI art check and take a look at what's going on
here, like, for example, he's got a mug and it's got no
agenda. Mug with no agenda misspelled.
Adam Curry: I didn't even see that. Let me see
John C Dvorak: it's a G,
Adam Curry: E, D, A G, E, A G, E, D, D, yeah,
John C Dvorak: okay, AG, and then there's some head there's a
headline in
Adam Curry: this media, media masturbation, yeah.
John C Dvorak: It's just like a typical AI. When you have a do
wordage, it always screws it up. It I don't know why you just
say, I want you to put this word in the art, and you can't do it.
It's like, How many fingers you can't get the fingers right?
It's like that. Why can't you do why can't AI put wordage in that
is what you just simple. You just tell it what you want, and
it should just take and transpose it. But no, no, no, it
adds extra letters. It puts things upside down. It's a joke.
It is.
Adam Curry: I don't know why. It's the most it's the oddest
thing. You know, people also are sending me songs, end of show
mix songs, and so they'll send me a song that is clearly AI,
because you can hear it in the vocals, and they spend a lot of
time writing the lyrics. I'm like, Okay, you made a song that
is not a hit. It's not it won't do parody songs. It can't,
because they get sued, and they're already getting sued,
and they said, but you know, it's, it's the same as the art.
It's, it has, it's, has no soul. Soulless is that has there ever
been a song that's become a hit that is AI, no, not yet. Oh,
please. It won't. It's not going to happen. That's not how I
guarantee there will be one. Okay, all right, let's put that
in the book right now. Put in the book there will not be a
song from Ai that's going to be a hit. That's not how the music
industry works yet. Okay, yeah, all right, I'm not too worried,
believe me, I'm not too worried. See if there's anything else,
please stop with the Kamala Harris fellatio stuff. It's not
funny when I'm never going to use it. Just Kamala Harris,
Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Tim Walz, don't we're not going to
use it. And if you're going to do and now John H says, Well,
this is a hand drawn curry and Dvorak. I don't believe that for
a second. He has us both in two locations. I'm in Texas. I look
like a like a douchebag with a beard.
John C Dvorak: You look like without a beard in your shorts
Adam Curry: and you have socks in your shoes. It's wrong.
Everything's wrong about it. And you can't just slap a 33 on it
and think we're going to go for it. We've got to be, we've got
to be harsh
John C Dvorak: pictures. It's just not even close and terrible
they are. And nobody, and that's not and, yeah, I agree. This is
not hand drawn. No, no, unless it's like some drawing that he's
put aside, some from years ago of two guys, and it don't even
look like and again, it the AI will wear glasses. I haven't
worn glasses for decades. The AI
Adam Curry: cannot be funny for you. It just can't. You have to
be funny. You know, comic strip blogger. He's all in on on AI,
and I think I posted something like, you know, he said, Oh,
it's all over. Podcasters, AI voices are now going to take
over. You don't need it anymore. It's all great. I'm like, No, it
has no soul. It's soulless. And then he points you. Why
John C Dvorak: does anybody think that way? He was commented
or Blogger? He thinks very I think, no, I think it's some
sort of weird eternal optimism. Well, all futuristic things are
somehow going to
Adam Curry: be going to be great. Well, listen to the
example. He says these AI, voice over, voices are improved bigly.
Just hear this example, or
Unknown: possible for you to be the one behind the microphone.
Hey, is that a steam of my other long time good voiceover friend.
Hi
again, Tom. And speaking of things you can do, AI, voiceover
has a ton of male and female voices to choose from. You can
choose what's best for your project. And in your case, Tom,
people might not have to be subjected. Of cheesy jokes and
puns. Yes, you think they're funny, but those puns can be
punishing.
I won't. I won't bring up the I mean, seriously,
Adam Curry: seriously, will people listen to that and will
they be happy? No, because it's not funny. Ai cannot. Ai cannot
do humor. Timing, exactly. Timing. Good point timing
anyway, and that's good because, you know, it can AI get into a
stupid argument about Elon Musk and what Trump said about him?
No, it's never gonna happen yet. This is where you say yet.
John C Dvorak: I don't have a yet for that one.
Adam Curry: Let's thank the people who delivered us some
treasure in our trifecta. We'd like to thank our executive and
Associate Executive Producers right here in the show, pretty
much like Hollywood, because we also give them an actual
production credit, which you can use anywhere credits are
accepted and recognized, such as LinkedIn. You can always put it
on your letterhead and your bio, but also imdb.com so you can be
right up there with Scarlett Johansson, who has a credit
because she was also a producer on fly me to the moon. You can
be a producer, and you can call yourself an executive producer,
$300 or above, and we read your note, or an Associate Executive
Producer, $200 above we read your note right there on
imdb.com and we start off with Troy Lafferty from Newark, Ohio,
who sends us $600 which is nice. Someone else sent us. Was it 600
on the last show as well?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, there was a 600 in the last show, but it was
six something. I think those are these. That's interesting,
Unknown: weird,
John C Dvorak: but I caught myself before you caught me.
Adam Curry: Well, kind of, okay, kind of, no, not. Kind of, okay.
ITM John and Adam type written, by the way. Or looks, is this a
typewriter? Is this a printer? I can't really tell.

type font, hmm, okay.

Adam Curry: Hold on a second. I got to get my jingles lined up
for him. Here we go. Please accept my humble contributions

listening adventures. I truly appreciate John's storytelling

the day. Yeah, they are. Adam, thank you for serving as a

checkbook to avoid the nasty fees. Ah, she sent a check in
and she sent a card. It's a nice little card, nice. And you can
tell it's a card because it doesn't sound like paper. Sounds
like a card when you shake it. Hopefully this arrives before
Sunday show 1687 it didn't as it falls on my birthday. Oh, well,
that's okay. She's good. She's getting her full credit. We had
a number of people coming in. I had a guy moaning about his

out a newsletter that opens with denotations are down, he writes,
denotations are down. I suspect this donation puts me into
knighthood, but I am too lazy to do the accounting. I'll do a
follow up donation with correct accounting. Ah, there you go.
James, another abeyance. Abeyance. It's good, man,
whatever. It's good. We'll be here four more years.

Georgia, 333 dot 33 and he just says, Thank you gentlemen, and
thank you. We appreciate it.
John C Dvorak: Joe Dirks, Parts Unknown, $300 and this is
actually a switcheroo. You might want to make a note, yes, this
donation is for Arno. All caps, eight all caps. It is a delayed
welchmertz screw up donation. If you know, you know, well, Welch
Adam Curry: Mertz is Cafe Welsh. Mertz is the podcast outfit
where we did the meetup. So I'm thinking this is a some kind of
low.
John C Dvorak: It's probably a make good from the meetup or
Arno or no when they sent the money and Arno didn't get his
credit, something like that. Well, Arno gets credit for this.
Yes, he does.
Adam Curry: We move on to the Indiana tribal meetup in
Greenwood, Indiana, $240 associate. Producership with a
double switcheroo donation from the NA tribal meetup raffle for
Nadir Rashid, which is for his mom,
John C Dvorak: so high t so he switched the switch and switched
the switch. So it's

John C Dvorak: I would say Nadir Rashid's mom. Okay, let me see
that way. His name, dear
Adam Curry: Rashid's mom, okay, well, we appreciate moms here.
Note for the boys. ITM John Adam Nadir from the Indiana tribal
meetup, doing another switch route towards my mom's damehood

appreciated and never goes unnoticed. Jingles, goat karma
and 33 is the magic number 33
Unknown: that's the magic
number you've got karma.
John C Dvorak: I'm gonna jump to Linda lupatkin in Lakewood,
Colorado, $200 jobs, karma, hey, hey, that was, of course, the
title, the subject line of the newsletter. It always works.
It's a classic. I only do it.
Adam Curry: I do it rarely, once every half year, I'd say no,
John C Dvorak: about once a year that I haven't done it for about
a year. And every time I do it, it's a huge success. It is for
people out there who do direct marketing, yep, we want one of
the little tips out there when you're in trouble, when you're
in trouble, when you when people aren't opening your emails, you
want to use the subject line, hey, now I use lowercase h with
Adam Curry: an exclamation mark, no. I just said, Hey, oh, okay,
John C Dvorak: since you brought it up, I avoid using exclamation
marks in my head, in my subject lines, because they will get
triggered. They will trigger spam filter, right? You're
right. So no matter how ex exclamationy You Your line is,
don't use them anyway. So okay, jobs karma, hey, she writes for
a resume that gets results. Goes go to imagemakers. Inc.com, for
all your executive resume and job search needs, that's image
makers. Inc, with a K or find Linda Lou Duchess of jobs and
writer of resumes on the producers list,
Adam Curry: yes, ma'am, uh oh. Jobs karma, yes, jobs karma,
Unknown: jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote
Adam Curry: for jobs. And from bensonville, Illinois, 208, dot
22 Eli, the coffee guy says, I've been looking forward to the
media deconstruction of the DNC convention. You got it if it is
anywhere near as rapidly over enthusiastic as the NPR coverage
I caught a few minutes of. Then we're in for a treat. Thanks for
doing the hard work of wading through the propaganda so we
don't have to. Yes, that's another thing I want to say, if
people you know, besides saying, Hey, were you not heard as a
child? You can just say,
John C Dvorak: heard as a child. Yes,
Adam Curry: you can just say, Listen to no agenda show. You
don't need to watch any news. They'll bring you up to speed,
and you'll know everything, whether you agree with those
guys or not, which we hope you don't, at least not all the
time. You'll get your dosage. We play 70 to 80 clips per show.
People don't realize that I got some guy who emailed me, how
many clips come from the community? How much do you do
based on your own research?
John C Dvorak: And that was, that was his actual voice,
completely.
Adam Curry: I ran it through a chat GPT, and that's how it
sounded. I'm like, Well, if you think about it, I would say 40%
comes from the community of that really, 15% is comes pre
clipped. The rest is P I mean, for sure, our producers send us
links and stories and things to look at, but the clipping we do
most of that ourselves, even with the Jones brothers, I mean,
and they send it, except for the
John C Dvorak: Jones brothers, when they go, of course, they've
bailed out on me. But except for them, I do all my I just, I have
a notebook. Yep, I watched, I watched TV all day, yep, mostly
news shows, yep, and so I'm watching, and when I see
something, online when the networks are right down the time
date, and then I'll go to the computer later using my Google
TV connection, and we'll clip the things individually. So
Adam Curry: I have a great resource, Dave Ackerman, and he
sends me every day at least. But I want to say 20, sometimes 30,
links to deutscheville and France 24 and TRT. And I like it
because I can stay up, and I use very few of them, relatively
speaking, I like it because I can stay up to speed with what's
going on, you know, because you don't get that kind of reporting
here in the US. So that's almost like my television. That I'm
watching, and then from time to time, oh, I'm going to clip
this. This is good, and that's how it works. But you are the
producers of the show, so whoever that was, and I thought
it was a little rude, he didn't follow up and say, Hey, thanks,
because, you know, I'm sure he was looking to slam us or
something, or write a story. It felt a bit like a podcast
journalist, you know. But ultimately, Lexy Mora, there are
between 70 and 80 clips that you hear in every single no agenda
show and and we weave those together as if it's second
nature.
John C Dvorak: So it's a post modern approach to Yes, witness
analysis, unscripted,
Adam Curry: without coordination. I don't even know
what John's clips are. I mean, half of them are indecipherable.
What is DNS? I mean, anyway, thanks for doing the hard work
John C Dvorak: of waiting through the typos. I do typos on
purpose to confuse him. Yeah, and then
Adam Curry: we can never find him later. It's like it's a DNC
clip. Okay, won't show up in my search. That's why I donate for
producers who may need help to stay up while listening to the
drawl convention speeches. This evening is the final one. Order
up some gigawatt coffee. Use code ITM 20 for 20% off your
order. Stay caffeinated. PS, can I get an L bag, daddy, for the
end of show mix? We're already full for this end of show mix,
but I will put it in on the schedule. And I was gonna say
something else. Oh, yeah, you know, I was thinking, why? You
know, podcast networks have failed continuously. Spotify
failed. You know, the advertising is not working for
people. Why wouldn't an outfit like gigawatt Coffee Roasters.
Why wouldn't they start their own podcast network and just
make it all a gigawatt podcast? You know, like the old days,
good you know? I mean, you know, and they pay people based upon
performance. I'm just thinking it would, you know, we'll get
John C Dvorak: an idea way to lose our coffee, uh, connection.
Thanks for that idea. What
Adam Curry: am I thinking? I'm sorry. That was very bad.
John C Dvorak: I get some coffee every month on them, and it's
like, you know, I'm not complaining, no. So tonight will
be the night we
Adam Curry: have, we have one more, one more donation. I
believe.
John C Dvorak: Oh no, I don't want to. I'm just not a
interregnum. Interregnum, yeah, is a word tonight, Kamala.
Kamala, come Kamala. I don't know what her name is. She gives
her speech, and I'm putting money down that she is going to
say that she was a prosecutor and she knows Donald Trump's
type.
Adam Curry: No one's taken that bet. I mean, that's an obvious
one. That's
John C Dvorak: all she has to say. She has one speech. She's
worse than Biden.
Adam Curry: Do you think she'll do the cackle?
John C Dvorak: No, yes, definitely will not.
Adam Curry: I think we should put money on the cackle. I say
she can't help herself. Well, she
John C Dvorak: chortles. Does that count? No, it has to be.
Adam Curry: I think she'll do three of them,
Unknown: three counties over
John C Dvorak: and under. Three count, okay, one count point
five, over and under. That's the way you do it. 2.5
Adam Curry: and right after that, she'll just gonna do a
full on, sit down interview with CBS for what's their son for?
What's their Sunday show? CBS,
John C Dvorak: 60 minutes. 60 Minutes. She's
Adam Curry: gonna do a 60 Minutes interview so they can
edit it and make it look good,
John C Dvorak: maybe. Well, here we are. Last donation comes from
Kimberly. Kimberly cram in North Fort Myers, Florida, and she
comes in with a flat tent, $200 and says the simple line, 10
more years for no agenda, four
Adam Curry: more years. What's the over, under on 10 more years
of no agenda? Good luck with that. I don't, I mean, and it's,
it's the only reason why is just we've had, now had, how many
presidential coverage, campaigns of coverage. This is our fourth
Obama.
John C Dvorak: Well, we also had before Obama. We
Adam Curry: had, yeah, we had this, right? We had no, we had
Obama.
John C Dvorak: We started Obama. Bill Obama came into a our show
started a year before Obama, but, but so the first president
it was running at the time, I forgot. I
Adam Curry: didn't say how many presidents. I said how many
campaigns? So Obama campaign page, yes, we had Obama versus
Clinton. Yeah, no, Obama versus Romney. So Obama wanted Obama to
Trump and now Kamala says for
John C Dvorak: President. No. Five, because you get Trump
versus Biden he. Don't leave that one out. Get an extra one.

Unknown: our formula is this, we go out. We get people in the
mouth.
I got hairy legs.
Adam Curry: I heard you say something on DH unplugged, and I
thought nothing of it, what kind of little bit? And then I came
across this 32nd clip, and like, oh, maybe, if I I'm going to set
you up, and then you can tell us about this. This is climate
change related. Samsung developed a new solid state
battery for electric vehicles now. So what does this mean?
Normally, in an electric vehicle, and everyone who's had
an EV, you know, is basically going around, it's like, Man, I
only have like, a 400 mile range, and it takes, like, I
don't know, it takes like, 17 hours to charge the dumb thing.
And, you know, so this new battery can can has a 600 mile
range, 20 year lifespan, and it charges in nine minutes. Like,
okay, this is a game changer. Game Changer Is this true silver
based batteries that, I mean, this guy is just computing it
into hours. I mean, that's a lot of parameters there that would
change that. But What's the dealio?
John C Dvorak: What's the dealio? The this silver is
silver carbon, I think, is the is the technology. This is Ace.
And there's a certain name for this type of battery, which is
unpronounceable, and it's been researched at Duke University,
probably more than any place else in Samsung, I guess, has
picked up the gauntlet, and they're looking at it too. This
is a lab thing. This is something that somebody dreamed
up, but it's called solid state battery, as if other batteries
aren't solid. But okay, solid state battery, which indicates
some sort of electronics thing going on within the confines of
the battery, which makes me sound, sounds like a little like
a like a super capacitor. But I think is just just nonsense. I
don't think this battery's ever gonna this is like all the crazy
batteries that developed the zinc air battery, my all time
favorite. I like the salt battery and battery the salt
battery.
Adam Curry: I like the salt battery a lot. And by the way,
that sounds like a very expensive battery,
John C Dvorak: yes, but it's gonna let if it lasts 20 years
and it does what it's supposed to do, and nine minute charging,
I'm sorry, uh, nice idea. Maybe it works. Maybe you have a
little double A cell version of him, maybe that would be nine
minutes. But I think that this is pie in the sky. I I'll, I'll
believe it when I see it, all right, but I brought it up
because I think it is floating around in the in the
conversation, and it will, it may jack up the price of silver.
All right,
Adam Curry: I have another one for you, because this is,
although you are nor Cal, this is So Cal. I wonder it's all
Cal, and you are the boots on the ground, and you're going to
go down with that ship, you know, you're going to be like
that, that guy on the Super yacht,
Unknown: suffocating high temperatures in her Lancaster
community, means she's been cranking up the AC and her July,
Bill skyrocketed from about 200 to $700
we have given up quite a lot in order to pay the bill,
extracurricular activities that we normally like to do, trips
that we normally like to
take. If your bill went way up last month, it could be because
you have a time of use rate plan that means you're paying higher
costs during the peak hours, between four and 9pm weekdays,
and you might save money by switching to a tiered rate plan.
With a
tiered rate plan, monthly bills are based on total energy
consumption, not on the time of day when they're using the
energy. KTLA
consumer reporter David Lazarus says SoCal Edison time of use.
Rate plans are a way to motivate customers to conserve power. Why
shouldn't
you be able to do your laundry whenever you want? Well, the
problem is is our grid just simply can't take the burden,
and as the population grows, that means we need to try to
find ways to incentivize people to help out. You.
Adam Curry: Have your energy bills go skyrocketed. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: but it's not because of what they're talking
about. They've added all these extra charges to the bill,
including transmission charges, just the charge for the wires
you're leasing these wires. Now there is a scam going on in
California regarding the power bills that is not being
addressed by what used to be a powerful Public Utilities
Commission that has been de balled has no power anymore, and
they letting Pacific Gas and Electric just run roughshod over
the public at large. Well, it's a complete outrageous, typical
California scam that takes place during Democratic
administrations. I remember the days of Gray Davis, when he was
the governor, that one of the few that we've had the guts to
recall is
Adam Curry: that the guy who killed his intern.
John C Dvorak: I don't think so. Okay, but Gray Davis was one of
the worst of the governors, typical Democrat, and that's
when we had the rolling blackouts and rolling brownouts,
and we had the contracts with Enron and all the rest of it,
and it was a scam bola from the get go, and once this guy was
ousted, they put in Schwarzenegger, of all people,
at least, had calmed that down, and we didn't have blackouts.
How did we go from blackouts and brownouts and slowdowns to no
blackouts? I mean, this whole thing is, is ludicrous. And this
is the, this is the corruption of the of the party, of the
Democrat Party, and since they've captured the state with,
I say, fraudulent voting, like they like Oregon and Washington,
Oregon, so mail in and so is Washington. Washington State's
100% mail in and California is mostly absentee ballots. It's
just, it's we were screwed unless they get rid of these
people. So is this a price you have to pay to be here?
Adam Curry: Do you think there's Enron level shenanigans going on
again?
John C Dvorak: I would have to assume so with the Yeah, I had
some, some door to door guy come by with the door to door guy,
yeah, these door to door guys that come around political guys.
And he's, he's coming around to selling solar stuff and and he
shows that he had a breakdown of the bill. Wait, wait, you
actually
Adam Curry: opened up and you talked to him. I always do. Were
you packing?
John C Dvorak: Usually carry a large bowie knife. So
Adam Curry: really, I believe you,
John C Dvorak: the guy's showing me the break that he's and he's
showing me some of the scams going on. And I was fascinated
by it. But it's just is, yes, it's very scammers. You know, we
Adam Curry: got a cool note from cerventis. I don't know if you
saw this, because he's, he's a door to door sales guy and, and
I've had many of these people show up, and I'm like, Wow, this
explains a lot. Now, he says he in 2015 he moved from Maine to
Georgia to become a door to door roof salesman. It's something I
didn't know exists that he says, As DTD salespeople is what you
call them, trend to get shot. Where I come from, yes, I would
say in Texas, you got to be careful too. But it's a massive
industry, and I believe it's a huge contributing factor to the
expense of home insurance. Listen to this. What happens is
these contractors will target neighborhoods that were built
with shingles that have either been recalled or otherwise
discontinued. They send salespeople around to knock on
doors and offer a free roof inspection to homeowners if any
damage is found that could remotely be considered storm
damage. And we That's why people come around here, a lot of hail,
shingles missing from wind, etc. The homeowner is then convinced
that, oh, oh, no, your roof is destroyed. But good news,
there's a way to fix that one damage, shingled shingle your
insurance company will pay to replace the whole roof. This has
led to millions of fully functional roofs being replaced
for free. In quotes, as anyone with a basic understanding of
economics will understand this can only go on for so long. The
average roof replacement costs anywhere from 10 to $20,000 and
while insurance is a bit of a scam and the companies aren't
likely to go broke anytime soon, they're also going to do what
every other company does and pass the cost on to the
consumers. I think this is exactly what's happening you
Unknown: who in what way, because
Adam Curry: I have seen these, we have a metal roof.
John C Dvorak: Oh, no, you talking about the roof thing. I
thought you were talking about P genies over.
Adam Curry: No, no, no, I've moved on to door to door.
Salesman. Hello, hello,
John C Dvorak: yeah, but it seemed you've made it. You made
a jump. Yes, it's
Adam Curry: what I do. But this is an outrageous scam. Sounds
like it's hurting everybody. That probably is, except for
servants, who should immediately become an instant night,
Unknown: because he's doing this. You're right.
John C Dvorak: He should send us $1,000 and become an instant
night, exactly. You're right.
Adam Curry: So here's another scam that I bumped into this.
John C Dvorak: Let's just start guilt tripping all the people
that write us.
Adam Curry: So Steck, he always sends me a whole bunch of
articles. He doesn't send clips anymore. He sends articles he
stopped clipping, which is too bad, because I, like a lot of
his clips were good after you
John C Dvorak: obviously weren't using him enough. Steck is very
sensitive to usage. Well, he gave up on you, and then he
moved. Yeah, because I wasn't using it, I wasn't falling all
over myself.
Adam Curry: So he sends me a link to the Atlantic. The
headline the ozempic shortage is over. Obesity drug shortages
have led to a boom in risky alternatives. They may be
impossible to stop. And I initially was like, okay,
whatever. But then I get these other clips. This is from the
Jones brothers from Steve from NPR. Consider this. This is an
advertising Blitz. They are. They're out to get rid and with,
I think, faulty information, if not outright lies, they want to
stop the GLP one compounded medicines and get everybody on
ozempic. And certainly don't want insurance companies paying
for anything but the brand name stuff.
Unknown: When you imagine where these drugs are prescribed most
for weight loss around the US, maybe you're thinking, Oh, Los
Angeles, of course, or maybe New York. But you know, it turns out
the capital of the weight loss drug boom is in Kentucky, in a
small city called Bowling Green, at least 4% of the population in
that city and surrounding area got a prescription in just the
last year. Consider this, weight loss drugs have transformed an
American city. Is that a good thing? Bowling Green, Kentucky
might seem like an unlikely hub for weight loss drugs, that is,
until you dig into the data, Kentucky has one of the highest
obesity rates in the country, and rates of adult diabetes and
hypertension are going up and up. Well, let me ask you,
because the weight loss drug industry has struggled with
supply shortages for years, which has been especially
harmful for patients with diabetes, because they actually
need these drugs to stay alive. So how is a city like bowling
green keeping up with demand for these weight loss drugs.
Adam Curry: By the way, I think that Kamala should in her
speech, you say, I'm going to get you, I'm going to lower the
price of ozempic to $35 now that would be something, huh, instead
of insulin, which, apparently the whole country is on insulin.
So here is, here's the scam. One
Unknown: of the ways that the city and this is actually
happening across the US, but it's really obvious in Bowling
Green is there are these medical spas and weight loss clinics
that are popping up that offer what are known as compounded
drugs, compounded versions of zeppbound or Manjaro or wegovy
or ozempic, and they're essentially like off brand
versions that are made by compounding pharmacies, which is
allowed during supply shortages. And so a lot of these medical
spas are that
Adam Curry: laugh, and it's also a lie.
John C Dvorak: What was the that was the laugh? Tell you heard
it? Yep, because she said
Adam Curry: these are allowed during medical shortages. No,
John C Dvorak: no, that's not true. That's a lie.
Adam Curry: So that's why this is a scam, borrow
Unknown: or wegovy or ozempic, and they're essentially like off
brand versions that are made by compounding pharmacies, which is
allowed during supply shortages. And so a lot of these, there
Adam Curry: it is. I just lied. I have to laugh about it. Isn't
that unbelievable? Does she go that NPR allows this blatant
lying? That's
John C Dvorak: a blatant lie. This is why people should not
send their money to NPR or PBS and send it to us
Unknown: off brand versions that are made by compounding
pharmacies, which is allowed during supply shortages. And so
a lot of these medical spas are actually making a ton of money
selling these compounded versions to people, because so
many people are having
John C Dvorak: Stop it again. Who's making the ton of money?
Well, not the people selling it for 1200 bucks, or some guy
pushing it out for $200 or 20 bucks. Yeah, I know. Well, this
is the ton of money is being made by the people who had the
brand names. That's the ton of money. And I'm gonna
Adam Curry: have to question, how much did Novo Nordisk
sponsor NPR consider this, uh huh, actually
Unknown: making a ton of money selling these compounded
versions to people, because so many people are having
difficulty accessing the drugs. You know, with branded
pharmaceutical drugs, companies have to go through rigorous
approval processes, which requires, you know, years long
studies, in many cases, and very large studies to prove the
effectiveness of their medications to, you know, prove
quality and safety and. All of these things, and when it comes
to compounded drugs, they really weren't meant to be made at this
scale. And so there aren't these studies scale back up how
effective they are, and you're really going by word of mouth a
lot of times, or just companies that the drugs do what they're
supposed to do.
Adam Curry: So here we have a poor region, unbelievable.
Report, yeah, so here we have a poor region of America who
cannot afford your $1,200 a month. They've been completely
psyoped into believing this is the future of my health is by
taking these medications forever, there's a clear need in
the market. The pharmacists like, well, we can make this.
This is, this is not patented. The only thing that's patented
is your is your applicator, your syringe. So
John C Dvorak: name is copyrighted, and of course, in
Adam Curry: the brand name, and we're setting it, we're
fulfilling a need for the community, community. But then
this lady comes on NPR to tell Oh no, this is not good. They
can only make it under these circumstances, and you really
don't know if it's any good. This is outrageous that this is
on NPR. You want to hear the last clip of this liar?
John C Dvorak: I'm already sick to my stomach with this pathetic
report that that considers journalism, and I have to listen
to the end
Unknown: you write quote, We are all living in an ozempic town,
or will be soon. Is that a good thing after spending time in
Bowling Green? What do you think?
I mean, everyone that we spoke to is a lot happier and a lot
healthier, and they feel like better versions of themselves.
That's not to say that these drugs are a cure all. I mean, we
did talk to people who had really bad side effects from
them. They're not the right fit for everyone. Notice
Adam Curry: now she's saying, Oh yeah, the side effects probably
because she using the off brand version, there
Unknown: are some issues. Well, hold
John C Dvorak: on, she's implying that. She's
Adam Curry: implying it. Yes, she's implying because
John C Dvorak: the side effects are notorious with ozempic and
the rest of these things, yes, especially with people that
don't have diabetes or don't really need these drugs. And so
by just as a guilt by association report this point,
yep, which is a chickenshit way to report that's
Unknown: not to say that these drugs are a cure all. I mean, we
did talk to people who had really bad side effects from
them. They're not the right fit for everyone. There are some
issues that the drug manufacturers need to figure
out, that insurance companies need to figure out. And you
know, going on and off of a drug is not great for your health
either. And another problem with that continuity is insurance
access. And insurance providers covering this, employers
covering it. It's important for there to be equal access to
these medications. And in Bowling Green, we did go to a
pharmacy that said ozempic and other weight loss drugs are not
a big thing at this specific pharmacy in this specific area
of Bowling Green, because it did tend to be a bit more low
income. So we're already sort of seeing these health disparities
in terms of access emerge in Bowling Green, and that's an
important consideration when you're thinking about the
country as a whole, and who needs these drugs and who's able
to access them?
Adam Curry: Yeah, I find it despicable. It's just despicable
and and I really think that the politician, Trump or Harris or
otherwise, who says I'm going to make sure that you get the
cheapest GLP one drugs, I'm going to take it down to $35
that would be that's your game changer, right there. Nobody
cares about the insulin. I mean, okay, please. Well, you
John C Dvorak: have your type one diabetic. You
Adam Curry: do stop sending me emails. I can already hear
you're firing up. Of course, people care, by the way, I think
it was Trump who actually did in the negotiation with the I think
so too.
John C Dvorak: He's trying to tell you, it's like, you know
the no tips on, yeah, exactly No. Taxes on tips has also been
stolen. They're just gonna steal inside, which is, you know,
Adam Curry: I would be the same thing. So I'll stay with that
for a moment to clips on the mpox, which seems that something
else was at play here. And there's even some walk back from
the WHO, the World Health Organization. What was the
reason? The Who? What was the the who, who's on first, who's
who's taking the money? Why was there a emergency? What was of
international concern, whatever the phrase is, well, of all
people, Dr Robert Malone explains exactly why there was
this, all this sudden, oh, oh, monkey pox and pox. Oh, why?
Well, here's the answer,
John C Dvorak: or psychological bioterrorism or information
warfare. And in particular, right now you want to focus on
the monkeypox. Story. So what's fascinating is it was just
disclosed a few minutes ago by the World Health Organization
that the prior monkey box emergency declaration was set to
to expire tomorrow. Now when they make these emergency
declarations, it gives them power and money, and so no
surprise that they have contrived to come out with yet
another monkey pox emergency declaration two days before,
literally, before the last one expired. So this is a lot like
the gamesmanship that's been done by the Biden administration
regarding the declaration of emergency for covid.
Adam Curry: Well, there you go. So it was about to expire. So
John C Dvorak: it was a scam to from the total scam.
Adam Curry: It was all about the vaccines for Africa and
complete. Because then, you know, when you have this, you
can create all kinds of vaccines that can be pushed through
faster, etc, complete scam. And even the who, the who, the who
comes out and says, Oh, hold on. Hold up. No, no, this is not the
next covid. The
Unknown: World Health Organization, which has declared
the spread of the new strain a public health emergency of
international concern on Tuesday, projected comparisons
with covid. 19
Mbox is not the new covid, regardless of whether it's mpox
played one, behind the ongoing outbreak in East Central Africa,
or mpox played two, and behind the 2022 outbreak that initially
impacted Europe and has continued to circulate in Europe
since. But the risk to the general population is low. We
know what to do, and we need this time, the political
commitment to go for elimination, otherwise we'll
always see neglect and then panic again. So let's have a
political commitment to go the last mile, and especially stand
in solidarity with the African region. We can and must tackle
impacts together across the regions and continents. So
Adam Curry: it's all about money, and I'm sure Bill Gates
pronounce I'm sure Bill Gates has some kind of investment in
the mpox vaccine manufacturing. So, wow, thanks, everybody,
everybody, even we were like, Okay, here we go. This is it?
Oh, no. Oh, life is a scam. They did they did it again. They did
it again to us, yeah, yeah, yeah. I want
John C Dvorak: to play well before we could go off too far
off the rails. I want to give us a you know, do you case got all
these issues? It's got issues.
Adam Curry: I've heard there's issues, yes,
John C Dvorak: and it's terrible. So I ran into this
really good clip. It's
Unknown: terrible, it's terrible. It's terrible. This
clip
John C Dvorak: from one of the she's like a group of she's out
of the out of the Farage camp, and she's a presenter named Alex
Phillips. She's been, I think your latest thing, she's on talk
TV or something. She keeps floating around. They can't,
can't keep a job. But she, this is a she has this nice
presentation on recent UK stabbings that I think is good
to listen to. This
Unknown: is in the last 24 hours. Really last 24 hours, all
of these headlines. Okay, so it's stabbing in a supermarket
in Hackney. That's a fresh one that happened today a restaurant
stabbing in forest gate. A man is a critically ill in hospital.
After that a really bad stabbing in Gorton near Manchester, where
a lovely woman was killed and a Christian preacher, husband and
her daughter were both stabbed. There's been a stabbing in
Truro, yeah, little old Truro, an acid attacker has stuck in a
place called teepee Valley in Wales, place I actually know
quite well, believe it or not, in Peterborough, there's been a
cripple stabbing. Torquay Castle circus, there was a stabbing
there. That was a woman being jailed for that stabbing.
Thankfully, they've found a spot for her to go in amongst the
protesters. Of course, there was a horrible story of girls being
sexually assaulted on the beach in Bournemouth. I remember the
good old days when you could go to the beach without being
raped. And Dorset Police put out a big statement to all the
newspapers and on social media, saying, if you've been a
witness, if you've seen these men approach these girls and
sexually assault them, please come forward. And I'm like,
okay, so what do they look like? Oh, okay, we're not going to
find out that's very helpful. There's been asylum seeker who
stabbed his immigration lawyer. And to wrap it all up, a man
murdered a woman and had sex with the corpse. Oh, man. So
there you go, ladies and gentlemen, just because, well,
we're emptying all the prisons. Because it seems the stabbers
are on the loose. What is going on?
Adam Curry: Wow, that. Well, no, you know what this I'm, I'm
gonna give you borderline for that that was, and mainly
because when we when the stabbing started, and they
remember the zombie knives. They had the zombie knives. I even
got a zombie knife. Was so cool. And then we get producers
emailing us. That's not true. It's not like your guns in
America, your guns, Kid everybody, because it's not that
bad. Knives is a problem in Britain.
John C Dvorak: My favorite one in that series of clips. This is
at the beginning, beginning of the month where this report, I
think the eighth of August was when this report came out, when
she did this. I guess it's daily. There's all these
stabbings. But the my favorite one was the the immigrant who
stabbed his immigration attorney.
Adam Curry: You know what? You know what stops knife, crime,
guns, guns,
John C Dvorak: yeah, well, it's interesting at the Indiana Jones
proved that,
Adam Curry: although, man, if you got a crazy person with a
knife, you got to get your gun out real fast, because they can
hurt you before you can hurt them. So she mentioned that
they're letting people of out of the prisons. Well, yes, there
is, you know, they have to lock up all these people who say
horrible things on Facebook and on x, and we need to put them in
jail. And here's how the system works. We
Unknown: will guarantee a prison cell. We will make sure that
those people who need to be in prison will be in prison, not
necessarily in the area where they live. They may be two, 300
miles away from home, but we will guarantee people a prison
cell with
the numbers are so tight there. How can you make that guarantee
they are tight? And that's why we've initiated operation early
dawn. So basically, the easiest way to describe it is one in,
one out. So as people get released, we can then pick up
people from police cells and take them to court, and we will
triage that three times a day.
Adam Curry: There you go. So you just let somebody out. The cells
are full, so let someone else out who can go get a knife, I
guess.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they've got something wrong there. Well,
their priorities are screwed.
Adam Curry: We need to be pay very close attention to what's
going on there, because this is the kind of government that does
weird stuff.
John C Dvorak: I did it. You said it. I heard that. I
Adam Curry: did it. This is a problem. You're
John C Dvorak: at your your one up on me for two to one.
Adam Curry: I'm very sorry. This is the kind of stuff that I
think you know could happen here. If you have the wrong
government,
Unknown: they can do stupid stuff. This is dumb. It's dumb
Adam Curry: anyway. Let's slot A shout out to our producer who
came in today, and we'll check out what's happening in with the
Ukraine versus Russia conflagration, and it's heating
up a bit with the drones over Moscow
Unknown: now, Russian authorities say air defense
systems shot down several Ukrainian drones that targeted
Moscow overnight. Russia's Defense Ministry said it
destroyed a total of 45 drones over Russian territory,
including 11 over the Capital Region. Moscow's mayor said the
city faced one of the biggest drone attacks Ukraine has
launched against the capital so far. And
Adam Curry: then listen to what Zelensky says. Ukrainian
President
Unknown: Vladimir Zelinsky said on Monday, the offensive showed
Moscow's threats of retaliation against Western allies supplying
Kyiv were a bluff, Addressing diplomats and other officials in
the Ukrainian capital. He added that his country needs to be
able to use more Western
weaponry. The world knows everything in this war depends
on courage, our courage and that of our partners, it depends on
brave decisions, support and steps for Ukraine, not just
ours. It's vital our partners are in sync with us in this
determination, and then Russia will be left with no option but
peace.
Adam Curry: Okay, so he's saying, Oh, they were just
bluffing about about, you know, conquering us and then going
into Europe. Who says that the I find this,
John C Dvorak: I find that the information is so poor, yeah,
well, there's that from every direction that is, like, I don't
know if you can, yeah, whatever happens, happens.
Adam Curry: And then there's this ominous report.
Unknown: Well, meanwhile, the Ukrainian parliament has voted
to ban the Russian linked Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Kyiv
considers the church to be aligned with Moscow, and the
bill was welcomed by President Volodymyr Zelensky office.
Today, the church officially broke ties with its Russian
counterpart in 2022 but some Ukrainian lawmakers have accused
it of collaborating with Russian clergymen despite the invasion.
Round
Adam Curry: them up. Yep, round them up. You watch.
John C Dvorak: They got rid of the Russian Orthodox Church, and
now they're getting rid of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Yeah,
Adam Curry: what's the elections? There's
John C Dvorak: no elections anymore, and they've not shut
down the media completely.
Adam Curry: Yeah, he's, he's not even president anymore,
Unknown: officially, did he? No, he's
John C Dvorak: not officially. He's emperor.
Adam Curry: But Trump, yes, you have anything on Russia and
Ukraine? You got anything? No, I
John C Dvorak: didn't get anything for this show.
Adam Curry: Oh, and then I have the latest from Israel. Of
course, it would be great to have an October surprise for the
Harris campaign, doesn't I do want
John C Dvorak: to play, before you play that, I do want to play
this prelude to that, what you're going to play Prelude,
which is Judy Woodruff, who she had to walk this back,
Adam Curry: yeah. Oh, I'm glad you got a clip of this. She she
John C Dvorak: came out with this commentary, and she has,
she's had to walk it back. I think everybody's all freaked
out about because there's no evidence, no evidence
whatsoever. What she's saying is true. Ken
Unknown: is over there right now, working with Netanyahu. The
reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone
with the Prime Minister of Israel, urging him not to cut a
deal right now, because that is believed that would help the
Harris campaign. So I don't know where, where that I don't know
who knows whether that will come about or not, but I have to
think that the Harris campaign would like for President Biden
to do what President to do, which is work on that one. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Okay, so she said this without evidence, big
brouhaha in newsland. I think she's right. To be honest about
it. I've said this from day one, when BB went to visit Trump.
It's like, Hey,
John C Dvorak: I think that may have happened then, but she said
he's on she he's on the phone right now, because things have
changed. Okay, I think which is bogus, and I think that maybe he
did discuss this with Netanyahu, yeah. But I think all when they
were at Mar a Lago, but there, I think all these discussions of
the, you know, the meeting and Qatar, where there's no Hamas
representative, and all the rest of it, I think they're, they're
they're inflating this whole ceasefire thing, that this non
existent, and now they're going to blame Trump, just the way
they blamed him for the non passage of the bogus immigration
bill.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. So she's an
operative. No, she got, didn't she get? She got replaced?
Didn't
John C Dvorak: she by she's always been an operative.
Adam Curry: Well, here's the latest from Blinken
Unknown: on his ninth trip to the region us, Secretary of
State Anthony Blinken met with Israeli leaders once again ahead
of talks in Cairo this week.
This is a decisive moment, probably best, maybe the last
opportunity to get the hostages home to get a ceasefire and to
put everyone on a better path to enduring peace and security.
Washington says new proposals will bridge the gaps between the
two sides and help avert a wider war.
What's most crucial now is that everyone everyone refrained from
taking any actions that could fuel further conflict, escalate
tensions and result in the spreading of violence and
conflict.
But over the weekend, Hamas accused Israel of setting up new
demands, and although Tehran says it doesn't intend to stop
peace talks. It will seek retribution for the killings of
a top Hamas leader and Iranian commander last month. Although
months of previous talks have failed to reach a deal for
Washington, there's an added urgency to end the Gaza war as
an issue that could sway voters in key states in the upcoming US
election. The White House sees this as an inflection point that
must be resolved before Joe Biden hands over the reins to a
new president. Well,
Adam Curry: he's already handed over the reins. He's
John C Dvorak: now they but they keep leaving out of these
reports if they're going to blame Trump for one thing or
another. Is Trump's commentary, which is been suppressed, where
he says there's the reason that the Hamas is not interested in
any hostage hostage exchange in regards to a ceasefire is
because they're all dead. Yeah,
Unknown: Israeli forces have recovered the bodies of six
hostages. The country's military said today the victims were
brought back during an overnight operation in. Gaza Hamas
captured them during its attack on Israel in October. Four of
the deceased hostages had family members who were also abducted
but later freed. Hamas is still believed to be holding around
110 hostages Israel estimates nearly 40 of them are dead.
Adam Curry: All right, so let's, let's game play this for a
second. First of all, if any hostages are released, it will
be 33 I mean, that's just a given. I can tell you right now
how, let's just say it's all it's gameplay. How does it has
to be Harris or Trump, who I think has to go talk to someone
in Iran to make the October surprise work.
John C Dvorak: I don't know I Harris can't do it. She's not a
person that can go do anything. Well, the
Adam Curry: thinking, of course, is that Trump has set this up. I
mean,
John C Dvorak: well, that's what you would think, because it's
the it's because they're basing all this on Reagan back in 1979
1980 Yes, and that is, really, was the intelligence community
and other people that, you know, the State Department. That was a
scheme that Reagan had little to do with. I I think because he's
what didn't have that much power. He couldn't make these
things happen like that. I think Trump's in the same boat, yeah,
the CIA's got, got the handle on this, and they're the ones doing
Adam Curry: the negotiating. They're in there. They're the
their guide, yeah, what's his
John C Dvorak: name? And the head of this? Not now, he's just
the CA, but the head guy, William Burns, yeah, the main
dude is out there floating around like Brennan was during
the Maidan situation in Ukraine. Remember he was actually there?
Yeah, so, so I'm not blaming Trump for any of this. I'm not
blaming him. I'm saying that. No, I didn't say you were but
they were blaming him in these, in these, like the Woodruff
report and others are blaming him. No,
Adam Curry: I understand that, but that just ran. But remember,
it's just a big show. So, you know, I still think they all
want Trump to win. I really do.
John C Dvorak: And, well, there's a lot of evidence that
would say you're right.
Adam Curry: Who was, who was talking was, it was Debbie
Dingell, who's Debbie. Debbie Dingell,
John C Dvorak: she was a, she's a congressman or a senator from
New York. I think she's a congresswoman from New York. Oh,
well, she I'll look around. She was
Adam Curry: on meet the press, and I guess she knows that Biden
is dead or incapacitated. Something
Unknown: wonderfully magical is in the air, isn't it? Yeah,
we're thinking it here in this arena, but it's spreading all
across this country. We
love the spirit of Joe, a
familiar feeling that's been buried too deep for far too
long. You know what I'm talking about, Michigan. Michigan, it's
the contagious power of hope.
Hope, all right,
brick, come on. In Kristen,
it's fascinating, because it's almost as if she and former
President Obama were trying to impose the Hope and Change
message a little bit to give it, if you will, to Vice President
Kamala Harris. Did you see it that way? And also notable,
obviously she didn't mention President Biden.
John C Dvorak: I think I love President Biden, and we all need
to. He was a great president, but now we are looking to the
future and go back.
Adam Curry: He was a great president. Is he no longer
president?
John C Dvorak: That's a good catch.
Adam Curry: He was a great president.
John C Dvorak: Right now he's in Napa Valley drinking wine with
his wife in 747, which I assume, landed at Travis Air Force.
Somebody didn't land in San Francisco, somebody,
Adam Curry: Daddy Long Legs somebody. Mm, hmm. But
John C Dvorak: do you remember that they were, they showed this
on a lot of the Fox shows, and they were just mocking, uh,
mocking Biden, uh, for being a doofus. But it was like he was,
this is, I think, after the convention, when they jumped on
the plane to get out of town, even though they went on the low
ramp, not the big one, into the cold, basically, now they get
him, I guess they put him in the elevator. There's an elevator in
47 just dropped me, and they put him in there, and up you go, up
at level. Yeah. So, so, so Jill's gonna go on the plane,
and instead of following Joe, she comes up and Joe is standing
there, yeah, and she doesn't acknowledge him or anything. She
just starts going up. There's no, it's not even Joe. No, it
isn't Hello. That's what I'm having to conclude. And but
everyone was mocking, mocking it, at least Fox would do it.
The font about their their take. Was the following, oh, look,
she's so mad because she's not going to be the first lady
anymore and won't get the free jet rise, and she's mad at Joe.
But I'm thinking maybe it wasn't Joe at all. Joe may be holed up
in Washington for all we listen
Adam Curry: the the key, the clue was the grandkid. Why do
you want me to hold his hand? That's not grandpa. Who's that
dude?
John C Dvorak: I didn't catch that, but if that happened, that
that's a pretty big giveaway.
Adam Curry: Let's talk about a food for a moment. It's about to
get even better. No more fresh chicken for you.
Unknown: Or job losses in the meat processing industry. Tyson
Foods announcing job cuts at its chicken processing complex in
Wilkesboro, North Carolina. In a statement to Ag Day, a Tyson
food spokesperson says, due to increasing demand, it is
shifting production from the facility to support its fully
cooked products. It says, As a result, fewer positions will be
required at that facility. However, it did not say how many
positions would be cut the Wilkes journal, Patriot
newspaper, reporting over the weekend, one local official told
them nearly 500 jobs would be impacted. The changes
specifically involve converting the fresh plant in Wilkesboro
into a bulk processing facility. That means chicken will be
processed to a stage where it is ready to be sent to other Tyson
facilities for further processing and packaging. Now,
Tyson says its priority is to assist affected employees by
offering them other opportunities within the
company,
Adam Curry: so more fully cooked chicken is what they get. Wait
John C Dvorak: a minute, how is that cut jobs? It seems to me,
you process the chicken, then you go through the trouble of
cooking it. That would add jobs. It seems to me, that's an extra
step. What
Adam Curry: do you mean? They just, what
John C Dvorak: am I? What am I missing here? They
Adam Curry: just so they Pro, they cut the chicken, dump it
into seed oil, cook it, and then package it. You don't need half
the people who were doing all the why? Why
John C Dvorak: would you not need half the people? Because
Adam Curry: it's just automatic. I subscribe to food machine
magazine. You should see that thing, the stuff that these
machines that they have for packaging food is disgusting and
create, I will
John C Dvorak: say this so I'm in Holland. Here we go. Oh, neck
of the woods. This is when you almost got killed. No, no. This
is when I was floating around with Yana Elman touring the
whole country, basically. And
Unknown: that took three min, three minutes. It was,
John C Dvorak: it was about four days, oh, with all, like, the
best restaurants, and we did. It was a good tour. But one of the
things he mentioned, because there's his truck goes by the
chicken truck, and he says that because we don't his comment was
the following, because we don't have Mexican labor or cheap
labor to process the chickens like they do in Tyson and
elsewhere that the Dutch have men have developed a
manufacturing system All machines that can process
chickens like nobody else and and it's like a thriving
industry with no people working there. I think that may be at
play here.
Adam Curry: Yeah, you're probably in Barneveld. Were you
in barneville? Does that sound familiar? Probably because
that's whatever the
John C Dvorak: case was allotted from chicken, chicken, giant
chickens, shruts would fill with chickens. And so, yes, he said
the chicken processing there was all automated. We
Adam Curry: got breaking news, breaking from AP. So you know
it's the truth that I've been waiting for. This one been
waiting almost 17 years. Us. Government report says fluoride
at twice the recommended limit is linked to lower IQ in kids.
Yep, there you go. Told you,
John C Dvorak: and that's why that the ticket Tip of the Day
from a few weeks back when I had the water filter. That
particular filter takes fluoride out of the water. What was that
filter? Again, it was the total filters, I think something like
that. Oh, that would have to put a little web page together, or a
small booklet of the tips. Once we get to a couple,
Adam Curry: yes, a giblet, a giblet. Hey, we can run it
through the publishing company. Yeah, we're gonna need to. Yeah,
I only have one more clip. If I don't know if you have anything
you want to do, you want to mention you don't want to play
before we go. I got one ice, a funny one. It's a funny I got a
funny short one. So I'll wait for you.
John C Dvorak: No, I'm good. I think I can push these off
because they're kind of evergreen.
Adam Curry: This is Neil deGrasse Tyson,
John C Dvorak: who now, always a winner,
Adam Curry: always a winner. And, you know, some would say
he's a man of science. I would say, I mean, he's a astrologist,
but he's a man of science.
John C Dvorak: He's an astronomer, not an astrologist.
Adam Curry: That was funny. I. Was funnier than I meant it to
be. Well, maybe he is an astrologist. Tell me what's
going to happen is, is mercury and retro Gary? No, but he
weighs in on, you know, we've had a lot of controversy,
controversy over men and women's sports, and even the the is it
Algerian, I want to say, Algerian boxer who
John C Dvorak: beat all the women up, yeah.
Adam Curry: And, you know, says that, you know, they, they did a
test and XY chromos, XY chromosome, yeah. So Neil
deGrasse Tyson sets us straight, sets the record straight. That
has nothing to do with being a man or a woman. The xx
Unknown: XY chromosomes are insufficient because when we
wake up in the morning, we exaggerate whatever feature we
want to portray the gender of our choice. Suppose, no matter
my chromosomes, today, I feel 80% female, 20% male. I'm gonna,
I'm gonna put on makeup. I'm gonna do that tomorrow, I might
feel 80% male. I'll remove the makeup and I'll wear a muscle
shirt.
Adam Curry: What kind of dirt do they have on this guy?
John C Dvorak: What is the deal with that? I mean, I heard that
clip, and I was, I was gonna actually clip that, but I had to
find a a short version of the song, I feel pretty which I was
going to put at the end of the clip. Feel pretty
Adam Curry: nice if it's from West Side Story.
John C Dvorak: I think so. So. So the I heard that clip, and I
thought this guy was clinically insane to say this, because I
don't wake up in the morning and think, Oh, I think I'm gonna put
on some makeup because I feel pretty. What do you ever wake up
in the morning and say, oh, I need some mascara. I mean, a
guy, no, nobody does this.
Unknown: I'm gonna show my salon by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun.
Adam Curry: A reminder, we have not one but two tips of the day
coming up because I have a tip. The tip of the day has become
quite the feature on the show. People are listening to the
entire program, and of course, after that, we have our end of
show mixes, and we do have some fun meetup reports and a gulf
promo. So always worth hanging around for birthdays as well.

everybody, it's the end of the show that. Makes it time for a
tip of the day, not one, but two. And
Unknown: sometimes I
Adam Curry: don't, all right, do you want to go first? Sure what
you
John C Dvorak: got? So I've got a device, and people, normally,
you can get these things for pressure washers. If you have a
pressure washer, you buy these, these foaming devices. You put
them on the end of the pressure washer, and it's got a big
container below, and it shoots foam on your car and cleans your
car. But there is a low pressure version that goes with a regular
garden hose. Oh, okay. And from a company called foam King.
Adam Curry: Foam King,
John C Dvorak: yes, foam King, and you can get it, I think it's
foam King dot shop. Oh, foam King dot shop. And it's probably
available on Amazon. And foam King has a dude. Their one
device is the king of suds. They call it. It's a, it's a, it's a
nozzle that also King suds. The nozzles hooks right to the to
this device has got the foamer on it and the bottle of juice,
and it works like a champ. Yesterday, we're testing it out
that Jay and I both was actually Wednesday, Yeah, yesterday we're
washed our cars with it works like a champ. It's called the
foam King. Foam King, dot shop, wow. And get the king of suds.
It's really a nice product, the king. And then you just unhook.
It's got a little one of these kind of a click on hook
connections, you unclick it, and you got a regular nozzle, and
you can just wash off the foam and or, you know, if you need to
rub it down, you can do that too. Okay,
Adam Curry: well, I'm always in need of a high pressure stuff
here. Well, you
John C Dvorak: can also buy a pressure washer with one of
these devices. And down.
Adam Curry: I want the cheap Jack stuff. Come on the cheaper.
What was it called, again, the king of suds. What was it
called?
John C Dvorak: The king of suds? Foam King is foam King shop.
Adam Curry: So we received an Amazon package yesterday, and I
think there may be one in your PO box as well, and we couldn't
figure it out. And we're looking at this by like, who ordered
this? And it's a box of row is in German, oh, let me get it.
It's a, it's a box of Rollerblade in French, roulette,
roulette, pour chez de bere. And we couldn't figure what is this.
And then all of a sudden, I remembered a note from the Baron
of Old Bay. He says, I'm sending a product tip to you via Amazon.
Try it out if you think it's a tip worth spreading the word. I
don't own this company. I'm just happy a happy customer to
improve my work from home life. So this is a it has five roller
blade wheels in it, but you don't attach them to your roller
blades. You you replace your office chair wheels with these.
And it's, it's fantastic because, you know, roller blade
wheels, that's a whole different level of wheel compared to what
you the crappy things you get on your on your wheels? Yes, yes.
He says they're like 10 or 20 bucks on Amazon. I have to say,
I was blown away by this tip of the day. Thank you very much.
The Baron of Old Ben world's
Unknown: gone mad. But
don't you worry, it's time for Tip of the Day with Adam curry.

podcasting universe, I don't know. What does we got tips

John C Dvorak: and I like your tip of the day with one
exception, oh, what's that? But I didn't get enough details.
What is this thing called? Where? How that works.
Adam Curry: I read it to you. It's the Rollerblade birosto
levonn, okay, in German, just go office chair. Rollerblades on
Amazon. Okay, they don't do it. It's from the office owl. There

not a bad thing.
Adam Curry: This is the way, not No way.
Unknown: He said, No way. And I said, way.
Adam Curry: I'm hearing them clicking in his mouth. Well, no,

leader.

John C Dvorak: cannot sign one of these NBAs. You just don't do
it. Don't ever George.
Unknown: Don't ever George. Come on. What Come on.
Just now they might have been paid

It's a good thing. That's
how I talk. Really,
when Donald Trump comes down to Texas, stands next to officers
in uniforms just like mine. He's not there to help us. He is a
self serving
man. When he killed the border bill, he just made our job
harder. The Kamala, on the other hand, has been fighting border
crime for
years. She's
gone down to Mexico and worked to stop the traffickers, and
when the trafficker day stopped, she put him in jail. Down in my
neck of the woods, we called in fooling around and finding out
on
january 20, 2021 with the inauguration, of Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris, we established one of the most successful
presidencies of modern times.
The other day, her opponent implied that
it did speedy morning, people voted
one more time. Now, moving
around and finding out
almost croak first debate
of this election season. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to
revelize you.

ears like the wall me, but
I'm okay to see how you doin duck your horn. Me
with your best
shot. Hit me with your best shot. Come
on. Don't fight there. Okay. I
got my fist in the air.
Secret Service is breastfeeding, but I'm gonna be the president.
Come on. Come on, man,

blood on me.
Hit me with your best shine.
