John C Dvorak: She was a dipshit
Unknown: Adam curry.
John C Dvorak,
Adam Curry: Sunday, August, 25 2024 this is your award winning.
Give our nation media assassination. Episode 1689,
Unknown: this is no agenda.
Adam Curry: Boosting Bobby and broadcasting live from the heart
of the Texas hill country here in FEMA Region. Number six in
the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry from
John C Dvorak: Northern Silicon Valley, where we're wondering
whatever happened to John Tesh. John Tesh, I'm John C Dvorak
Adam Curry: buzzkill, isn't he? Hanging out on an island with
Kenny G. John Tesh sold a lot of records. I'll have you know,
John C Dvorak: did he now? Yeah, well, he was always on PBS. The
reason I bring this up because the PBS keeps showing these.
Does anyone
Adam Curry: even know? Does anyone even know who John Tesh
is? He
John C Dvorak: wasn't that kind of pathetic if he sold as many
records as you say, well, but he was, nobody knows who he is
anymore. Well,
Adam Curry: he was most known for his stint, as we'd say,
stint on Entertainment Tonight.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he was the guy he go to, guy he was,
Adam Curry: he was the guy with, uh, what was her name? What was
her name?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, see Nancy Cordes, I have no oh
Adam Curry: no, no, no, no, no. And then later he was with Lee's
Gibbons.
John C Dvorak: Uh, yes, please remember that. And
Adam Curry: Yanni, of course, he toured with Yanni. He did
whatever happened to Yanni? Wait, didn't he marry Barbara
Streisand?
John C Dvorak: No. Barbara Streisand is married to this
actor. All right, who
Adam Curry: is John Tesh married to, I don't know, Connie Celica.
John C Dvorak: Oh, she's no, you knew just off the top of your
head. I want to point that out, but
Adam Curry: of course, I mean, this is me. This is this is why
there's two of us. You know, someone's got to have all the
good stuff.
John C Dvorak: Well, he was used to do all these concerts for the
PBS broadcasting system. And that sort of reminded me,
because I was watching one of these things. So they they keep
interrupting it, Dad, beg for money.
Adam Curry: Why were you wait? So you were watching it, and you
were actually annoyed they interrupted John Tesh concert.
Is that what I'm
John C Dvorak: no, no, they haven't shown a John Tesh
concert for a decade or more. It's just they interrupt all the
concerts, and then they Oh
Adam Curry: yeah, and then they offer it to you on DVD, like
anyone has a DVD player, right anymore?
John C Dvorak: Or Yes, DVD or Blu Ray, and it said, came to
mind. I said, Whatever happened to John Tesh? Yeah, okay. Well,
he was a piano player.
Adam Curry: I would say more synth, synth guy. He was New
Age. So synth, synth, synth, synth, all right, before we get
into the obvious that we must talk about since Bobby The Op,
yeah, before we get into Bobby on, before we get into Bobby The
Op, we need to go to the next op.
Unknown: Now, the billionaire founder of encrypted messaging
app Telegram has been arrested in France, was reportedly
detained after his private jet landed at the Bourget Airport
outside Paris. Telegram is one of the most downloaded apps in
the world, and it's particularly popular in Russia, but it's
focused privacy has raised questions about its use by
criminals. So let's find a little bit more about this Molly
Malone is here with me. Hi, Molly.
So just a bit about who he is. This is not exactly a household
name. He's Russian, born, gained French citizenship a few years
ago, but he's really famed for founding this encrypted private
messaging app, telegram. And suggestions in French local
media this morning that the arrest and potential
investigation relates to this app for its potential lack of
moderation and potential
criminal activity, because it's actually not
potentially as well known here as it is across the globe. It's
one of the most downloaded apps after the likes of Instagram,
WhatsApp, Facebook, with upwards of 950 million users. It's an
encrypted private messaging app, effectively protecting data from
being intercepted with, as you said, a big focus on privacy.
It's been in recent years, particularly popular in Russia
and Ukraine. It was actually banned back in 2018 in Russia
because it's of its refusal to release data.
John C Dvorak: So first of all, before you continue, I had, I
have no clips on this. I'm actually stunned. But I'm not
not disappointed, just stunned that you brought this into the
Adam Curry: What do you mean? Stunned? You Are you surprised
that I brought this? Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: am kind of because it wasn't something I
was thinking about, just another guy. I mean, this has been going
on. This is a long standing let's start, if we want to go to
the beginning, yeah, we have to remember when Phil Zimmerman,
they went after him. PGP, I don't know, 30 years ago for
PGP, it was 30 years ago. I think it was a while ago. Yes.
Sure, and they tried to get to rest the guy and throw him in
jail, because the governments, these these fascist governments
that are running the world, do not like the idea that people
can whisper to each other, which is what this amounts to. This is
they would love it. So if I whispered into somebody's ear,
they would they could record it and keep it to use against me,
if possible, but they can't seem to get to that point yet. And
now it turns out that kim.com they're really going after him.
He's been complaining a little bit on Twitter, to grab him
somehow he's not even an American citizen, but to do the
same thing as he did with Assange and arrest him for
violating American laws. Okay,
Adam Curry: well, let's not get distracted yet. From from Pavel,
now, I
John C Dvorak: just want a backgrounder. Yeah,
Adam Curry: well, and I think that is the general consensus a
couple of things. One, every report says he was arrested at
boujee airport. It's le boujee airport. It's very annoying to
hear this. I don't know why they're not. You know, it'd be
like Kennedy Airport is John F Kennedy Airport? Le Bouchet, the
rumble CEO jumps on the train by posting on x.
John C Dvorak: Oh, I just wait a minute. Why does he just post on
rumble? Chris Pavlovsky,
Adam Curry: I've just safely departed from Europe. France has
threatened rumble now they've crossed a red line by arresting
telegram CEO Pavel Durov, reportedly for not censoring
speech. Rumble will not stand for this behavior. We'll use
every legal means. Blah, blah, blah, okay, so he's jumping on
the train and and that is the the general response from people
is, and of course, what we've heard is no, as far as I know,
there's no actual official announcement, but he is be, was,
I think, I think it was Reuters says he's being charged with
terrorism, narcotic, supply, fraud, money laundering,
receiving stolen goods, pornography with miners, because
he didn't moderate. He doesn't have moderate he doesn't have
poor moderation tools. So first Are you? Do you use telegram at
all?
John C Dvorak: As a matter of fact? No, no,
Adam Curry: and I use it because I detest it. I really don't
John C Dvorak: like telegram. You said this before years ago.
Adam Curry: I find it cumbersome. Now, many dudes
named Ben swear by it, of course, because of its apparent
security, I presume it's it's secure that you have end to end
encryption. I've not really even checked it. You can report
people and block people those there's some kind of moderating
going on somewhere, I guess, but it's tedious, you know. So
people have these channels and you can, and often you're unless
you have the settings set properly, you are auto joined to
a channel. All of your sudden, you have some bitcoin thing. And
a lot of the Bitcoin people are on, I'd say most of the Bitcoin
people who aren't also on noster are on telegram. I see this a
little differently, though. I think that this move coming
right now, and Pavel, he's a billionaire, he didn't make it
off a telegram. Because as far as I know, no one paid. Does
anyone pay for telegram? Is there any business model there
for payment? They're
John C Dvorak: asking the wrong guy. Well,
Adam Curry: I'm asking in general, maybe the troll room
knows. I don't think that there's a payment necessary. He
did have a payment cryptocurrency, which went to
basically zero upon this news. Surprise, surprise. So there was
some kind of, although that's not even mentioned in any of the
allegations that I heard of but I think this is something
different. Telegram is is used extensively by, I would say by
our United States operatives to stir up stuff. How many times
have we heard? Oh, this the, this particular revolution, this
color revolution, was started on telegram amid some sketchy guys
in Germany on telegram. I think that this is more marketing than
anything. It wouldn't surprise me if Pavel is is led off quite,
quite soon, he'll be, he'll be sent on his merry way.
John C Dvorak: That's the, actually, the first thing I
thought of, Oh, good. Well,
Adam Curry: you didn't see it, so I get dibs. That's funny. I
John C Dvorak: don't care. But to see, it seems to me, and I'd
say that because of your attitude toward it, which is
that you've always been skeptical of its true safety
well, and yeah, and it seems to me that if the thing is really
full of holes and actually has back doors, the arrest the guy,
and make it sound as though there's nothing wrong with this,
it's a great but. Secret thing. If you want to do secret
communications, please use this. Don't use anything else. I'm
Adam Curry: saying something different, though. I'm saying
I'm not questioning its its encryption and its privacy. I
think that it's what the intelligence communities and the
State Department and the, you know, the the people who make
trouble around the world, Victoria Nuland, I think they're
annoyed by x, and they really want to control things by
starting stuff. And when it comes from Telegram, oh, this is
a secure app. This guy's got to be for real. To me, it feels
more like everybody use telegram. Don't use x I think
beyond actually, didn't he promise that we'd get secure
DMing. Never saw that happen.
John C Dvorak: I don't remember. Yeah, there was an
Adam Curry: end to end encryption promise somewhere.
But no, I it's to me, this is more like everybody you've got.
Please use telegram. It's secure. See, we got this guy
because it's because it can't be moderated. Everybody use that,
don't use x, where, where, Elon control, because there's no
algorithms in telegram. It's just, you know, chat channels or
direct messaging. That, to me, it feels like this is something
else is going on, and it's and it's marketing for people who
like to stir up crap in countries and would prefer
people to use something that, although they don't control
directly, they can control the perception that it's real when
they
John C Dvorak: get to the next level, which is they do control
it directly. Well, then they're monitoring it. That's
Adam Curry: what happened with WhatsApp. I mean, WhatsApp had
that promise. Remember when WhatsApp was cool and you paid
$1 a year and they had millions, like 100 million, people using
it?
John C Dvorak: I remember that I again, was another non user.
Yeah, I'm too busy.
Adam Curry: Hold up. Well, you cannot communicate with
Europeans almost without using WhatsApp. Everybody uses
WhatsApp in Europe, and I certainly don't trust WhatsApp.
I
John C Dvorak: could send him a DM. I could call it, make a call
on the phone. Yeah, I can communicate with Europeans
without using your WhatsApp. You're
Adam Curry: being a technical person. Now, of course you can,
but Europeans prefer WhatsApp over SMS, text messaging and
anything else. They prefer it. That's where the family have
groups, and it's bigger than iMessage. And also, of course,
because iMessage is not as prevalent in Europe, people are
poor there. The poor saps can't afford an iPhone, so they're all
on Android, cheap Android.
Unknown: So anyway,
Adam Curry: I, I'm, I'm suspicious of this action. I'm
very suspicious of it.
John C Dvorak: And will you should be,
Adam Curry: yes, I, I know you're not bumping the mic, but
something is is booming. I know what that could be, okay, well,
then it's fine. All right, we kind of knew this was happening
on Thursday. We were just waiting for the announcement. It
happened on cue,
John C Dvorak: exactly as we said, yes, it
Adam Curry: wasn't like was a big secret. Do you before we go
to Bobby the OP. Do you want to finish up the DNC and and the
final evening of of joy, or actually, non joy, because both
of us were wrong on our predictions. There was not a
single cackle, let alone three.
John C Dvorak: No, no, there was one.
Adam Curry: It was a cat. It wasn't a cackle. It was a cat
car. It wasn't a
John C Dvorak: was it was enough. It was enough of a
cackle that I think it would count if you were taking bets.
Adam Curry: Well, I You said, No cackles. I said, three. So
neither of us win there? No.
John C Dvorak: I said, the over and unders, 2.5 Okay, you win.
Adam Curry: But there was no I know Donald Trump. I know his
type. She didn't. She didn't pull that one out. Now, did she
John C Dvorak: that was, well, you and I both agreed that she
would, yeah, of course. In fact, you made a big stink about, oh,
that's not much of a bet.
Adam Curry: Is that how I said it? So we were both thinking,
uncanny, how you nail my my voice. It was,
John C Dvorak: it was, and I know I can do it. I tried to
avoid it, but I can't. I
Adam Curry: do have the clip of what she did say about Trump.
It's about a minute and a half. It was one of the what was the
count? I was like hundreds of times during this convention
they talked about Trump, which is kind of interesting. Here's,
sorry, interesting. It was interesting.
John C Dvorak: No, I know, I don't know what you're getting
at. You're asking me a question. No,
Adam Curry: I was not asking you a question. Oh, yeah. Here is
what the Vice Presidential, Vice President, a presidential
nominee, said about four. Former President Trump ha but
Unknown: the consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the
White House are extremely serious. Consider what he
intends to do if we give him power again. Consider, consider
explicit intent to set free violent extremists who assaulted
those law enforcement officers at the Capitol.
Adam Curry: This was there was a lot of lot of lying going on.
John C Dvorak: The amount of lying is unbelievable. Well,
Adam Curry: unfortunately, unfortunately, it works. You
know it works. People hear these things over and over again, and
they're certain that it's true. His explicit
Unknown: intent to jail journalists. No,
John C Dvorak: he's kind of jail.
Adam Curry: His explicit, I don't think I've heard that.
Have you heard
John C Dvorak: was an explicit intent,
Unknown: okay, intent to jail journalists, political opponents
and anyone he sees as the enemy, his explicit intent. Why
Adam Curry: do you think she's using the term explicit intent?
John C Dvorak: It reminds me of the I don't know if I have this
clip, I probably don't, but of the guy who, who, who ran into a
woman? Oh, no, I don't have it. This is the kind of a redneck
character talking about how he ran into a woman who claims she
saw Donald Trump. It was, it was a veteran. I saw that. Yeah, the
veteran, he says they saw Trump, say, watched him say, losers and
suckers, which is yes, yes, yes. And he there, and he said, Well,
he looked into it, of course, because he didn't know better to
know it was bull crap, but he looked into him. There is no
video of this, but she saw it. And so I think the idea is to
drum into people's brains that explicit intent means he said
it. Try to visualize him saying it, and you will eventually
imagine he actually saying it on the podium, because he says a
lot. So he could Yes, and I
Adam Curry: understand that. But the term explicit intent is,
it's notable. I'm not sure there must be. We need Scott Adams,
the professional hypnotist, to tell us why she's using
John C Dvorak: that. There's probably actually, in this case,
Scott might have an answer, yeah, there's some persuasive
Adam Curry: mechanism to it to
Unknown: deploy our active duty military against our own
citizens.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, gonna come and start shooting people.
Unknown: There's,
John C Dvorak: I think there's, I don't know if
Adam Curry: you there's a law against that that's not actually
legal. I don't tell you, whatever doesn't
John C Dvorak: matter. He's gonna be from day one. Just want
to do it. He's
Adam Curry: gonna do it. He's gonna do it. You want to say
something else?
John C Dvorak: I was did? No, just play these out, because
there's one in this group. Well, actually, I, before you even
continue this, I want to play what something? Well, because I
Okay, no, this just fits right in. I want you to, let's see, I
think it's a DN, I want you to play. DNC, Camela two, because
it what you're playing. And early in the speech, she says
the following, this is Kamla to respect. They
Unknown: instilled in us the values they personified,
community, faith and the importance of treating others as
you would want to be treated with kindness, respect and
compassion.
John C Dvorak: Okay, so she's been drummed into her to treat
others the way she'd like to be treated with kindness and
passion and all the rest of it. And meanwhile, you're playing
these clips. This is an example of treating others by lying
about them, I guess. So consider,
Unknown: consider the power he will have, especially after the
United States Supreme Court just ruled that he would be immune
from criminal prosecution, but you
Adam Curry: will have the same power. Ms Harris, it wasn't just
for him, it was for all presidents, and it wasn't really
what you're saying. It is, but not at all. Okay, that sounds
scary.
Unknown: Just imagine, imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails.
Oh no, my voice is skipping, and how he
would use the immense powers of the presidency of the United
States, how not to improve your life, not to strengthen our
national security, but to serve the only client he has ever had
himself. I.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it was great. That was good. Oh, so you
didn't get what I was hoping for. Oh, what were you hoping
for? The one where she goes, this is part of her litany. She
says he's going to set up a commission to track abortions
and every miscarriage and see what, what he's going to track
all the miscarriages and crack down on abortions. It's
Adam Curry: also the IVF. Thing is, is just astounding that
there is, this is not a a talking point. It's not in
Project 2025, there was one Alabama guy, Supreme Court. Just
Supreme Court, Justice in Alabama, one who who said, Well,
you know, we've got to treat these, these embryos, embryos,
as children and and this, if anything, has been successful as
that is the IVF thing. It's really odd, all the way up to
Michelle Obama admitting, for the first time in history, as
far as I know, that she well, you had the clip that that one
of her children, maybe both, were born through IVF. This is
new. This is groundbreaking. This is breaking.
John C Dvorak: I never knew that. And Trump has gone on and
said that he's going to protect IVF as much as he can. He's
everything she says is a blatant lie, pretty much. And it's like,
and everyone's eating it up. So
Adam Curry: not everyone, John, I would just say dimension B is
eating it up. It's, it's their rocket fuel. They're fired up
fire. I
John C Dvorak: have, I have more than a couple of clips here. Can
Adam Curry: I just give an overall impression of Harris and
waltz after having watched the Thursday evening festivities?
Yeah, sure. They are just like American food processed. Oh,
here we go, filled with soy and sugar and marketed with rainbow
colors. That's what they are. And this and people want it.
People eat that. They like it. Mmm, yummy. It's good soy sugar.
Mmm, pretty colors. So it makes sense that there's a large
portion of the population that is all in on it.
John C Dvorak: Well, that brings me to some funny clips. But
before we get to that, I do want to play this, because I this was
on Democracy Now, and you can put the warning up.
Adam Curry: Oh, okay, yes. Amy trigger warning, yes.
John C Dvorak: So this is the clip. Is DNC covered up
protests. There was actually this was not reported by the
mainstream media. Amy picked it up, and they had a video of it
because she happened to be sitting in the audience near it.
And I was actually kind of surprised by the way it was all
coordinated. I guess everyone was clued in on how to cover up
any sort of protest that took place on the on the convention
floor. Play this
Unknown: morning AMY GOODMAN cliff and bound a few minutes
into President Biden's remarks. Three delegates, part of
delegates against genocide, dropped a banner that read, stop
arming Israel. We were inside the convention floor, right next
to the Florida delegation where it happened. While some
delegates snatched the banner away, many others of the Florida
delegation quickly raised Joe Biden placards that said, thank
you, Joe and we love Joe, to block any view of the banner.
The protesting delegates who dropped the banner were quickly
escorted from the convention floor by security straight
Adam Curry: to the vasectomy mobile took care of them. Well,
I do have one protest clip from outside, and they've taken a new
a new bent on on the alliteration of any name, like
cackling Kamala. They've got a better 1000s.
Unknown: Marched through the streets of Chicago, home to one
of the largest Palestinian communities in the United
States. It's the final night of the Democratic National
Convention. Throughout the week, these protests have made it
clear which issue most divides the party.
The only way I'm voting for her is she calls for an arms embargo
on Israel.
Those hoping for an end to military support for Israel,
however, won't be won over by Kamala Harris's speech as she
accepted her party's nomination for president. I will
always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself. Around
a dozen delegates to the convention remain sat outside
until the final hours. They represent the uncommitted
movement, a pro Palestinian campaign which, during the
primaries, mobilized hundreds of 1000s of voters to withhold
their support for President Joe Biden. Did they push for a
Primetime speaking slot for a Palestinian to address the
bloodshed in Gaza? But in the end, mention of it within the
convention hall was limited.
Gaza is watching and seeing that this party that we hold dear to
our hearts, that we know holds human rights dear, is not even
letting
my Palestinian siblings speak. Vice
President Harris did again call for a ceasefire if that's not
achieved soon. One party donor is reportedly worried that
protests could again erupt at universities as they reopen for
the new term.
Adam Curry: Ah, they're not done yet. Okay, you won't let us do
it at the DNC, they didn't even have a Palestinian American on
stage, even Jon Stewart made note of that, which I thought
was interesting.
John C Dvorak: They're not gonna do that. No, well,
Adam Curry: of course not. I mean, the what I found
disappointing is, you know, there were a couple of funny
people who were doing funny stuff inside, a la Alex Stein,
99 obviously he wasn't there. I think at this point he's even in
costume. He's too recognizable. Alex stranger, who is the
pedicab guy from Austin who I voted for in the mayoral race
years back because he wanted to put a dome over Austin and give
flamethrowers to teachers, which I thought was an outstanding
platform, uh, he, he was in there doing a bit that was so
good, or at least so convincing to whoever he was doing that to
as
John C Dvorak: the BBC. Oh, the BBC, yeah, British Broadcasting
suckers.
Adam Curry: But we had, uh, suckers, you spell with an
astronaut to see we had our own people saying, Look at this.
Look at this leftist cook. Like, yes, you don't see this. And
then the,
John C Dvorak: especially this stuff about the black lover's
wife's black lover teaching him about civil rights or something.
Adam Curry: And then the then the comedian. I don't know if
he's gay or not, but he was certainly acting very feminine.
I
John C Dvorak: have clips from him. Oh, okay, what's this is a
guy. His name is Lionel mcgloin. People also
Adam Curry: took him seriously. They didn't realize that was a
gag. It was
John C Dvorak: a gag. Not only that, but somebody put a clip on
Twitter where he did the same thing at the Republican National
Convention. The guy's a comic, yeah, so he plays characters,
and then the Republican Convention, I don't have any of
those, because they're not very funny, because the Republicans
weren't buying it. And the guy was in there. He was he had a
big hat, giant hat, on in the and he had Texas action. He
talked like this, Oh, good. And he and he tried to convince
everyone. He said, Texas a big house for Jesus or something he
was doing. And they but they were just not buying it. And
they there was nothing. They got out. It was funny. But so he
goes to the Democrat convention, and he acts unbelievably gay, to
the point where I don't know, is this guy really gay? It might be
even gay guys, like, I don't know, man, well, he ran into one
gay guy who was always going to want to date him. And so I have
like five. These are very, oh, you really went for it. Okay.
Good, good, good, good. 123, yeah, there's five or six very
short clips. But he went, but he got, he got gold when he was
there. And I the thing was linked in the newsletter. If you
have the newsletter, you can just go to the long version of
the bit. You
Adam Curry: put it in the newsletter. It was good.
John C Dvorak: So I want to play just a few of these things, just
to show you what was going on. And the Democrats just fell for
it. And I think the and I was thinking about why the guy was
so
Adam Curry: gay, they're afraid. They're afraid to say anything.
They were
John C Dvorak: afraid to say anything. And they figured he
boy, he's got to be a Democrat.
Adam Curry: Although we know that there's a lot of gay
Republicans. There's
John C Dvorak: probably as many as Democrats, but they're
little, they're less. This guy acted like a flamer, which is an
old term, yes. Okay, so for example, this is a good example.
He goes up, he's, and he's going up, he's, he ran into Kellyanne
Conway.
Adam Curry: Hold on, what happened? Kellyanne Conway, is
she? Is this a new mask, or did she have some unbelievable work
done?
John C Dvorak: She had some work done. Let's face it, not some
dude, they kind of, she looks 20 years younger. All those pointy
Adam Curry: features have been shaved down. And something
happened. Yeah, something happened.
John C Dvorak: So he went up to her, and he was giving her and
she was she was pretty affable. She wasn't like, making a fool
of herself, like when she I'm going to go from the from the
top here, this is he, he goes and sits down with Nadler, fat
Nadler, Jerry Nadler, from New York. There's only, like, this
is 11 seconds, but, but this was the theme of what he was
accomplishing by playing this character. Character and going
up to various Democrats, and they were buying it like there
was no tomorrow. And this little clip is actually disgusting.
This
Unknown: year it'd be so brat, have a higher tax rate for rich
white men.
Well, if we have a Democratic Congress, we certainly will.
Yeah,
baby, tax those rich old ladies. Come on.
Adam Curry: He was all over the brat, wasn't he? Everything was
brat.
John C Dvorak: Was a brat. In fact, yes, he made the he did
the brat thing for to an extreme, and that's why he
called these clips brat. He goes up to Leticia James, the
prosecutor in New York, and this happens. Are
Unknown: you worried Donald Trump's going to weaponize the
justice system if he gets some power? I'm concerned about
Project 2025 and it's important that individuals understand that
project 2025 basically consolidates power in the hands
of one dangerous man. And so it's really critical you're
prosecuting his political enemies. Exactly.
You're even more beautiful in person. Oh, I love him. I love
you. Thank you so
Adam Curry: much. That's fantastic. That is so good. And
the lie that project 2025, consolidates, no, it doesn't
consolidate anything
John C Dvorak: in what in the hands of one evil dictator. And
Adam Curry: here's a prosecutor who should know her documents.
Did not read it. Yeah, it's a flowery policy, flowery policy
pile of
John C Dvorak: Well, I think your point about Project 2025,
being written by AI, yeah, needs to be taken to into account.
There anyone talks about
Adam Curry: 30 pages of the intro is just about themselves,
about how awesome each person is who contributed to it, and then
this whole thing, the rest of the 930 pages could have, you
know, could be 30 pages itself, but you run it through jeeps,
chat, GPT, like flowered up baby, and that's what you get
paragraphs with, run on sentences, just hundreds of
words you should, you should look at it just for, for yucks
you won't get past. And in one chapter,
John C Dvorak: so here he runs into some guy who's defending
walls as he goes after walls as he makes a point that walls is
representing a body positive image. This is good body
positivity, which means, you know, Waltz is just a friend of
fat guy, and so, so we get this exchange. We
Unknown: have women of color, and we also have Tim waltz. What
a great example for the body positive community. What do you
think Tim waltz can be as an inspiration for body positive
people?
A young man came to him and said, We want to have a gay club
here at our high school. And he said, I want to lead that,
because I need to be he's
like a gay leader.
Adam Curry: Hey, this guy. What's his name? Again, the
comedian
John C Dvorak: mccloyne and Mick The Lionel McCloy,
Adam Curry: I would say he could be a stringer for gut felt or
maybe water should, should hire him and send him out on the
streets. You know, he can clearly do multiple types of
characters. He's got a gig with this. I could, I feel a gig, you
know, it's
John C Dvorak: definitely one of the most aggressive things I've
seen. And he and he did it for probably hours, and he played
this character, this, this ridiculous. He was doing all
kinds of bits in between these, these small interviews, he runs
into a random gay, obviously, a gay kid, a cute little gay kid.
And this, this exchange takes place,
Unknown: is Kamala so us. She's so us because she's brat. She is
so brat. What does brat mean? Brat is like, you're like a
party girl, but like you go out at really late at night, and
like you fall asleep with all your makeup on. And, I mean, I
have to love Kamala being in a menage a try at one point.
Adam Curry: You know, the thing is, and this, this is a huge
weakness for, for, you know, this dementia B collection of
people, I'm not even going to call them Democrats. This is,
this is a particular type of people who, who, who are just
completely brainwashed, MK Ultra, in a way, anybody can go
up and act gay, and immediately there'll be, I mean, you could
do it without, by the way, that's a great idea. Gay Dvorak,
going in, hey, hey, Brad, hey, girlfriend,
Unknown: you could do
John C Dvorak: it. My gay is, is not that great. I mean, I always
do it. I sound like I. Sound like a 60s I stereotype gay,
yeah, you
Adam Curry: should just talk about, oh, what's the, what's
the big festival with the old, the old fat dudes run around
naked in San Francisco.
John C Dvorak: There's a day they run around naked in San
Francisco, over in
Adam Curry: the in the tenderloin, they all run. They
all run around, yes,
John C Dvorak: oh, you're talking. Oh no, no, yeah, I know
what you're thinking of. You're thinking of the Folsom Street
Fair. Yes, yes, yeah, you
Adam Curry: could be one of those guys. Oh, yeah, I
John C Dvorak: did. And by the
Adam Curry: way, with chaps, not all gay guys talk like this at
all
John C Dvorak: they do around here. But that's
Adam Curry: my case in point, you could get in anywhere I you
can get interviews with with tech leaders.
John C Dvorak: Well, most of them are gay, so maybe, Ah,
there you go. Hello, everybody. So now I do have two before we
continue on this list. If you go to rat, v, r, a T, I forgot I
had two of these. These are the ones that are misspelled, brat
with a V, yes. So I got Ed Markey of the senator from
Massachusetts, falling for it, and they go back and forth and
listen to this idiot. So some
Unknown: Gen Z doubters of Kamala have noted her record
persecuting people for weed. I'm a stoner. I use it for PTSD. Do
you think that era is so over? She's so over that I think
that even in the period of the Biden Harris administration,
they have been working very hard in order to say, no, what
about like Coke and stuff? It should be, what about like coke
in her
I would have to look at it, but to decriminalize
the drugs, baby coke for the boys, oh man,
Adam Curry: oh man. These people are so stupid. They're so
stupid. Oh man. They can't even they're so afraid of offending
someone who just happens to be gay or flamboyant,
John C Dvorak: is what he is, flamboyant, flamboyant,
Adam Curry: flamboyant. They're so worried about being called
out for something that they'll just, they go along with
everything. This is what I'm synthetic. I'm gonna start. I'm
gonna start using this. Hey, hey, if I want something from
you, I'll just try it. Hey, so
John C Dvorak: here comes, yeah, that's gonna work, yeah. So
here's the second brat clip, which is the cam. This is where
he runs into some just a regular delegate, and they go about how
great camel's laugh is. No
Unknown: the best Kamala laugh ever. Oh, my God, she has a best
laugh. Joy, we love joy. How do we guarantee equity of joy?
Equity
of joy will flow forth from Kamala. It's a just a given, and
part of hope
we are manifesting. It's coming. People say vibes don't matter,
but we are manifesting our nation.
Adam Curry: So these are the people that actually, these are
delegates. These are people who determine who's running, who's,
uh, yes, this is great. This is, this is, this is, this is what
democracy looks like, yes.
John C Dvorak: And here I got two left, and they're both,
again, short. This is a here he is with a young now, this is an
attractive woman, a young D and she's from DC, and she's a
delegate and and they go into this is just so off the wall.
It's just kind of surprises me.
Unknown: Where are the cuties in the Democratic Party that are
speaking?
Oh, I don't know. Talk to anyone who lives in DC. It's hard to
find a cute Democrat.
Oh, my God, shots fired.
No, that's, I mean, that's the team. Ask anyone who lives in DC
and who works in democratic politics, it's hard to find the
cute ones. Republican
eyes are hotter, yeah, but
they're evil. So, like, I don't know we
kind of love evil. Oh, my God, you're so bad.
Adam Curry: Wow. Democrats in DC are ugly. That's what she said,
John C Dvorak: wow. And then the final one, I
Adam Curry: just stop and think about that for a second. Why
John C Dvorak: Democrats, if you think about it, generally
speaking, are not the most attractive people. Just think of
Jamie Raskin as a typical Democrat. Well, they
Adam Curry: have Dark Souls, some of them, but I'm okay.
John C Dvorak: I think comes out in the face, yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah, yeah. It's not, it's not healthy.
John C Dvorak: No, it's obviously not healthy. And this
girl reflected in now, this one, this last clip, is kind of a two
parter, because first he runs into Harry Sisson, or whatever
his name is, the influencer, creepy guy and and Sisson won't
play along with the idea that he was going to ask him a series of
questions, and you're supposed to respond yes or no. Queen, now
I don't know if this is some sort of a gay game or something,
but the idea is I ask you a question. You say yes. Queen. No
Queen Sisson wouldn't play the game. So he clips it right
straight to this woman, another attractive delegate. She's this
girl is really pretty.
Adam Curry: So there are pretty Democrats, just not in DC, not
John C Dvorak: in DC, but this, this girl was pretty, but she
was, she was a dipshit. So, so the pretty Democrats are dumb
shits, and this girl, if you listen to some of these
questions, like he wants her to affirm that it would be good to
give illegal alien sex changes. And think, I mean the questions,
this guy's over the top, and he's this is great. He's on a
roll. And he really got on a roll with this girl. And we
again, we finish it up the way we started it with tax rich
white guys, and here we go.
Unknown: One vinyl game, yes, queen or no. Queen, okay,
I'll give you a yes or no. How about that? Okay, amazing. Can
you do yes queen or no? Cleaner. Oh, really. Free abortions. Yes.
Queen, free gender affirming care for migrants, yes. Queen,
social child tax credits for dogs, yes. Queen, Ban
standardized testing, yes. Queen, my ADD is so crazy. Get
rid of those things, please. Yes. Queen, Yeah, amazing.
Different tax rate for white men, yes. Queen Amen says they
love you. Love her energy. She's a yes. Queener,
Adam Curry: wow,
Unknown: wow.
Adam Curry: I'm gonna do that with you. I'm just gonna say
yes. Queen, whenever I really disagree with you, I'm just
gonna throw out a yes, yes. Queen, there is, there is,
however, the curry Dvorak Consulting Group was not
contracted nor consulted for the Democrat party this year, and
they've made a rookie mistake, where they have, of course,
hooked their wagon to the brat summer, which is why this guy
did all the brat stuff. Now we could have told them that it's
very risky to attach your campaign. And as we know, the
Harris HQ X account has taken on the the brat summer green,
everything is brat. She's brat. Brat, this brat that these
trends are fleeting and very and I mentioned this in passing to
at least this morning. She's still with us. Couple more. I
said, like, 10 more days before she go goes
John C Dvorak: back. More days a good material. Yes, good before
she goes
Adam Curry: back to Brooklyn. She's a Zoomer. And I said,
because I'd seen, I'd not heard your clips, but I'd seen the
word brat. And I said, Oh, John's all in on brat. And she
says, Oh, ah, doesn't he know that brat is over. I'm like, oh.
He says, Oh yes, it's demure autumn.
John C Dvorak: No, we did that. We had the clip about demure
autumn. Well,
Adam Curry: it's gone a little further than your clip. Let's
not forget to be demure divas.
Unknown: You guys already know how I come to work. Always very
demure, very mindful, sort of like tiktoker Jules LeBron, who
recently sparked the terms demure and mindful to have a
viral bout of usage across Tiktok. Very demure,
very mindful, very demure, very mindful,
very demure,
very mindful.
In early August 2024 Jules posted several videos about how
she presents herself when going to work, describing her look as
very demure, very mindful. I don't do too much. I'm very
mindful while I'm at work, very demure. I don't wear too much
makeup. I'm very modest. I'm very mindful. You see my shirt?
Only a little chichi out, not my Chocho. Very demure, very
mindful. Her
earliest video using the phrase garnered over 10 million views
in a week, and she continued to post videos using her keywords,
demure, mindful, respectful and cutesy, often explaining how to
achieve these qualities. Tiktokers quickly took notice
and started using the terms in their own content, like tiktoker
Hal Batty, who posted several videos parodying jewels and
overusing the term demure, also to the tune of millions of
views, my
heart is pure. I'm so demure. I'm being serious. Keep it
demure.
These words blew up online over the following days, even
spreading to x as users continued employing them in
their videos, often ironically, showcasing things that are not
exactly demure, like eating a messy sandwich. Memers also took
note of the virality, creating parodies and remixes of jules's
original videos and lots of memes referencing the buzzwords
I
take my antidepressants every
Adam Curry: day. Very demure, very mindful. There it is, very
demure, very mindful. That's, well, I
John C Dvorak: want to call you out here so you go to her and
say that John is in on Brad. And I didn't even know what it was.
I've never been in on it, let alone,
Adam Curry: no, I said, John is all in. He has a whole bunch of
brat all in, is
John C Dvorak: what you said. All in, I'm not all in, yes,
queen, I'm not all in. I didn't queen,
Adam Curry: what I meant was, you've had a lot of brat clips.
No, I
John C Dvorak: had one brat clip. They're
Adam Curry: all. Labeled brat, that's
John C Dvorak: all I saw. Oh, no, this one, yeah, no, because
this guy presented himself as but I
Adam Curry: didn't know. Look, I don't listen to your clips, so
all I see is brat, Brad. Brat Jones, yes, queen, all I saw was
Brad. Brad. Brat. So calm down. Were you not? So
John C Dvorak: you assumed? No, I know you're an ass out of you
and me. You're making your
Adam Curry: take your you are taking this too far. I just
said, John's all in with the brat clips. I didn't sit and say
you're all in on brat. You're, you're, you're a okay,
John C Dvorak: you can dig yourself out of the hole later.
I'll let you slide. I'm just saying, yes, queen, she must
think, and you can stop that?
Adam Curry: I don't know if I can. It's too good. All right,
let me switch gears for a moment, because we were talking
just a minute ago about these are the people who who are the
delegates who choose who is going to run for the party. We
know that no one actually voted for Kamala Harris, and it was
amazing to hear your governor, California Governor Newsom,
John C Dvorak: with the pod. Hope you got the part again. I
hope, I hope I got to try to find this clip, because I noted
it down in the notepad. I went back. You
Adam Curry: were too busy clipping the brat guy. No, no,
no, no. I was,
John C Dvorak: I was looking for somehow, the problem was, yeah,
on YouTube video, I wrote down it was Democrat. It was this
Democrat 2024. Is something they had a label. And so I go to look
it up on the search engine, and there's like, 1000s of them.
They Fox did a very crappy job of there's
Adam Curry: all kinds of stuff I couldn't find that. Good stuff
is disappearing very quickly. I had a couple of those myself.
Anyway, you might have the clip I'm looking for. I
Unknown: hope so.
Adam Curry: I hope I'm trying to regain a favor. Yes, queen, it's
contagious. Pod saves America, which is a very pro Democrat
Party podcast. It's very successful podcast has a whole
bunch of Obama people on the podcast. They are now also
unionized that podcast, because they're from crooked
John C Dvorak: media, so you're trying to be funny. We won't
have to listen
Adam Curry: to them too long, because they will go out of
business, and here they are with Governor Newsom yucking it up,
laughing about the blatant disregard for what they would
call democracy, and just switching Harris or switching
Biden out for Harris.
Unknown: How you feeling about the switch?
I mean,
the switch now we went through a very open process. It
was bottom up.
You know that? Yes, that's what
the Blitz, primary,
30 minute convention. Yeah, it's been
amazing, I would have, yeah, it's been
amazing, but it is. What is amazing is how unified everybody
Adam Curry: is next level. And even making fun of Schumer with
the it's bottom up. It's grassroots that, I mean, that
was like, wow, and they're just laughing about it. They don't
care. These idiots, these ladies.
John C Dvorak: Now, well, the clip I was looking for, just to
bring it back and for, and I'll just have to just, oh, this,
this wasn't the clip you were looking for. No, the clip I was
looking for, he was being interviewed by Brett bear. Oh,
save America. And he loves going on Fox, by the way Newsome does,
and he always makes some comment about being on Fox. I know this
is dangerous
Adam Curry: enemy territory here. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: what he says? He says that too. And he says, he
said that. Well, the last, you know, the last number of years
have been disastrous, and the camera's going to bring us out
of it and and it's going to be a new a new way of go, going, a
new future, new way forward. And Brett calls him, I said, Well,
the last number of years she was in office, she was the Vice
President, you're talking about the Biden administration, and
then Newsom, no, no, no. What I meant was and he'd make some
sort of an excuse. And I was thinking about this, why I
needed the clip. He did this on purpose, and he did it on
purpose on that show too. I think he is. He is doing little
bitty snipes because he doesn't want Kamala to win. He wants to
be the nominee in 2028 if she wins, pushing it off to 2032
Adam Curry: I cleaned up the whole state. I put swept the
homeless under the carpet. I got the Olympics coming. Yes, I
agree. It's, yeah, yeah. He's doing he's he is a very sly one,
that Newsom. He's sleep.
John C Dvorak: But if you're looking for it, you see it
because he is transparent. Current. So the
Adam Curry: big mistake I feel and I'm not sure, I'm not sure
who launched the rumors or, I mean, all the news channels were
doing it, but this was the huge disappointment, a
Unknown: super sized letdown for the beehive, after rumors that a
star like Beyonce would make a surprise appearance and perform
at the Democratic National Convention would prove to be
just that, a rumor, a gap in Thursday's program, leading fans
and convention goers to speculate about a surprise guest
ahead of Harris' speech after an already star studded convention
that included surprise speaker, Oprah Winfrey a night earlier.
CB wonder pink, the chicks. There were lots of fantastic
talent
there, but I know people were hoping for a few other famous
faces to show up.
The Internet guessing everyone from Dolly Parton to former
President George W Bush, another notable Republican, Mitt Romney,
also named, but the Utah Senator squashing that rumor, eagle eyed
Swifties also noticing a gap in Taylor Swift's tour schedule,
but one of the most guests, Beyonce freedom has become
central to the Harris walls campaign, with the singer's
blessing, someone at the convention posting a clip of a
Beyonce song at soundcheck, which was viewed more than 1
million times. Then adding fuel to the rumor fire, publications
like The Hill and TMZ, seeming to confirm it. TMZ, Citing
multiple sources saying we're told Chicago PD is on high alert
as it's involved in security for Beyonce at the United Center
arena.
Adam Curry: So the way this played in, in the controlled, I
don't want to say opportunists, the Megyn Kelly's, I'll say the
Megyn Kelly's of the world. Oh, they just did this to juice the
ratings, to juice the ratings. I don't think so. These are just
idiots. The mainstream has no inside track. They were the ones
walking around. Oh yeah, look. But this curtain hasn't been
here for the past three nights. Or something has come out. Oh,
there. Oh, we can hear some drum. A drum battalion are
rehearsing back say it was all bull crap
Unknown: and well, and it
Adam Curry: raised some expectation. And I mean, I was
let down. I
John C Dvorak: think it was done. I more in line with Megan
on this. I think that it was done on purpose. It was done for
the purposes of keeping people attentive. Why didn't
Adam Curry: they just actually pay Beyonce to come out and do
it for anybody, for anybody.
John C Dvorak: I think it was done on purpose, and the Taylor
Swift thing in particular, and it was done on purpose to keep
people's attention. I think they did a good job of that. It got
if TMZ is suckered, because Harvey Levin is a Democrat,
insider, Trump hater. So there's that. He's an insider, so he's
gladly go along with the program. I think he may have
actually been part of the scheme. But the thing that that
gets me is that I think this is emblematic, and this is the you
say it was a, I think it was a huge, uh, fundamental mistake by
the Democrat Party and and the Harris campaign, because this is
a pro unkept promise, yes. So everything she says is a lie,
yes. And the promises she makes about tipping, for example,
there's no way if she says, Oh yeah, no tax on tips, bull crap.
That is just a lie. She'll never implement it. It's like, and I
think the Beyonce thing is symbolic weight of the Democrat
lies and mis and misdirection. It is it? It's a huge blunder.
Yes, it's
Adam Curry: a blunder. Do you think it could have been done on
purpose?
John C Dvorak: I totally think it was done on purpose. But I
Adam Curry: mean to submarine Harris waltz.
John C Dvorak: Oh, that's a man of look at it. That's an
interesting possibility.
Adam Curry: I mean, it was bad. It was bad because, again, I
still have the content machine here. She was like, Nah, Bae is
not going to do that. Queen Bee not coming. And so she didn't
watch with us, you know, she she said, Oh, what Beyonce? You
think Beyonce is going on after Kamala says, no, no, she's not.
She's not coming. And she's a huge Beyonce fan. And so she did
not watch. She was not interested. She certainly wasn't
interested in stink. So I was wrong. I'm with you. There
unkept promise, very, very bad, and it felt more like sabotage
to me.
John C Dvorak: I'm not going to argue against that thought.
Adam Curry: Yeah, one very quick clip this, but it could
John C Dvorak: have also been just a big screw it. And part of
a mentality of hoaxes, there you go. I mean, let's face it, the
hoaxes that were rolled out in all the speeches about Trump,
yeah, or just outrageous everyone was doing, we didn't
really
Adam Curry: talk about it, but even Biden bringing out the very
fine people lie and his goodbye on the first night
John C Dvorak: I'm getting I thought
Adam Curry: this was a very funny part of the VPS
Unknown: speech for seniors facing elder abuse.
Adam Curry: She was when I heard that, like, Yes, I'm coming out.
I stand up for seniors against elder abuse. You literally
abused an elder for years.
John C Dvorak: That's, I didn't catch that for years. Very funny
that that's IVF
Adam Curry: level stuff. And did you see, did you see this Pelosi
comment that everyone was sending me also, very quick,
John C Dvorak: sure one where she's talking about being a
lizard. Yes,
Unknown: they didn't know what they were talking about. We know
our we're different from the Presidential we're very
discreet,
reptilian, cold
blooded. These are the races we have to win.
Adam Curry: So the couple things so, you know, as the Democrat
Party has always told me, believe them when they tell you
what you are. So I will believe that. And she adds on to her
very reptilian and cold blooded and if you see what's her face
sitting next to her, who's the the Democracy Now? Lady, not
democracy. No, no, not democracy now, uh, PBS NewsHour, Lady
Woodruff, yes, she could barely keep her lizard tongue in her
mouth.
John C Dvorak: She Yes, it was. It
Adam Curry: was trying to come out. It was the freakiest thing.
John C Dvorak: There was a fly there, you know, in this, yeah,
but
Adam Curry: they she is. She's a reptilian, uh, I got a super
cut. I got a joint.
John C Dvorak: Wait before you do that, I went and play the
last DNC clip. Okay, cut that I have, which is, this is camel
one. This is when she opened the I want it. This is kind of an
ask Adam, you really want me to play this just like what this is
count DNC camera one. This is when she opened up her speech. I
want you to say, tell me what's missing from this what's missing
from this picture.
Unknown: Growing up, we moved a lot. I will always remember that
big Mayflower truck packed with all our belongings ready to go
to Illinois to Wisconsin. And wherever our parents jobs took
us. Yes,
Adam Curry: I'm missing Canada. Is what. I'm missing
John C Dvorak: Montreal
Adam Curry: back I'm missing Canada. I don't know how long
they were there, but I double years I was missing Canada as
John C Dvorak: well. She was in high school from, I think, 13 to
15, yeah, or she was there from when she was 13 to 15. It's
about that long. And if you I'm doing some research on this now,
and if you start, you have to find Canadian sources. They
loved her up there. And old roommate, or roommates,
schoolmates of her, say nobody in Canada knew that she wasn't
Canadian. Did she say she's like this chameleon? She probably
picked up the accent and everything.
Adam Curry: She went from from black speak to a,
John C Dvorak: yeah, a, that'll be fun. Yeah, oh, I like it here
in Canada. It's fabulous. A, hey, a queen,
Adam Curry: all right, since you put a meme of it in the
newsletter about Daddy, what's propaganda, and you had all the
joy letters circled. It was That was good. I got a supercut for
us. The one
Unknown: thing that I will not forgive them for is they're
trying to steal the joy from this country,
the joy felt by Americans backing the Harris
walls ticket, we are joyful warriors. Being
joyful is part of the American identity, the
joy factor, campaign of joy. You're talking about radical
joy. It is Denmark joyful.
It looks like a joyous rally. It looks like a joyous occasion. A
real zeal
and joy in the campaign. The joy that you're bringing back to the
country, joyful, exuberant rally. Thank
you for bringing back the joy,
power of joy, hope and joy, something incredibly joyful. She
does it all with a sense
of joy, joy,
joy, joy,
joy.
Imagine that American politics, joyful. Again, go,
Adam Curry: beautiful, beautiful.
John C Dvorak: And what do you make of this? Oh, what I
Adam Curry: make of it is is you cannot listen to mainstream
legacy media, including Fox. Just have to make sure people
understand the fox is run by Democrats without noticing that
they're pretty much all against Trump. Or let me put. It.
They're all pro Harris. They're pro Democrat, the way they
John C Dvorak: make of the but not asking that. You know, that
joy, the idea, what, what, what is the why is this? It's
Adam Curry: a different term for hope. And it's also, I think
it's a it's a nod. I don't
John C Dvorak: think it's a synonym in any way, or a
different term for a whole
Adam Curry: it's also a bit of a nod towards the Christians. For
Kamala, enjoy, for the churches, there's a little bit of that in
there. I
John C Dvorak: don't enjoy the
Adam Curry: world. Yeah, I'm
John C Dvorak: feeling that joy to the world. Well, there's, you
might be getting closer. There's some I don't have it either. So
persuasion, but joy, it's like, corny, well,
Adam Curry: yeah, how was hope? Hope and Change? It worked. Hope
and Change works. It worked. There you go. It worked. We
needed, yeah, it's not a synonym, but it worked. So they
needed something, and someone came up with joy, and we're
taking their joy. Oh, we can use it.
John C Dvorak: Who came up with this? And maybe, you know,
here's just kind of off the top of my head. I'm thinking, she
cackles and laughs, and we had that one clip with a woman and
the phony gay guy laughing like maniacs. Is it possible that
because of that laugh, they need a foil to to offset the laugh.
Oh, no, that's not, yeah, no, she's laughing because she's
joyful. So you, you kind of like give her a pass on that stupid
laugh of hers. Maybe,
Adam Curry: yeah, it's possible, yeah, yeah. I could see that. I
could see that
Unknown: anyway, right,
Adam Curry: right on time. We on Friday, the beautiful time to
change the news cycle. RFK, JR comes out, suspends his campaign
and and endorses Trump, and then subsequently
John C Dvorak: the writing that was Friday. Yes, No, you said
Sunday. Oh, I
Adam Curry: meant Friday. It was right after. So the day after,
we changed, I know, beautiful. Now there was I got from
deutscheville, interesting. I got the timing of this. Now you
and I, of course, see this as, oh, this is what you do. Let's
cut off all news coverage about the the convention, and let's
twist it over to Trump. And he had pyrotechnics. It was
fantastic. And Kennedy does a reasonably short speech. The
Time Magazine correspondent for deutschewela had an interesting
bit that I was not aware of regarding the timing. I
Unknown: think there were several factors. I think they
were clearly running out of money. That was something that
we knew for a while. I think also, it looked like a lot of
these ballots were going to be printed in swing states. So in
Arizona, which is a big swing state today, at 6am they were
going to start printing a ballot with Kennedy's name on it. So if
he wanted to be authentic, he really wanted to put a support
between one, you know, one of the two candidates. This was the
only time he could really do it. And, you know, I think a lot of
he clearly saw no path forward, even though that had been the
case for months. I spoken to people in the campaign who told
me that for more than a year, they have been weighing possibly
endorsing Donald Trump. So I think from what I hear, he's
just a very indecisive person, and clearly partly enjoyed being
on the campaign trail and getting to be the main
candidate. So but really kind of came to the end there.
Adam Curry: I have one other shorter clip from this lady,
because she then brought in kind of the talking point that
everybody was repeating about Bobby the opp before we speak
about his endorsement of Donald Trump, I want to talk about how
RFK Jr tried to talk to Kamala Harris for a potential cabinet
job in her administration. What
Unknown: can you tell us about that? And
what do you make of the fact that it looks like he's like
he's he's tried to play both political parties
here. I think he's done that from the very start. He
obviously started as a Democratic candidate, and he
took great pride, I mean, I interviewed him several times,
and he took great pride in saying that he spoke to both
sides, that he, you know, was always willing to talk to the
extremes of both parties, but, you know, obviously the Harris
campaign so absolutely nothing to gain from speaking with him,
because they actually did not want his endorsement. You know,
he's an anti vaccine conspiracy theorist. He doesn't really
align with most of their positions. So you know, even if
they could get a little bit of a bump in the polls, in some ways,
it didn't seem worth it to the Harris campaign. So
Adam Curry: I was watching CNN, and they've removed this is no
longer available. I was watching it on YouTube TV, and you hit
record and it doesn't record the whole show. It only records from
where you were watching. I had this beautiful clip of Axelrod
right out and. He's with Anderson Cooper, and the
announcement is made, and Axelrod says, Well, you can
clearly see Bobby Kennedy is not a well man. He has mental issues
like, holy crap. It was unbelievable. And and it's gone.
I couldn't find that, which was too bad. And now Fox, they, they
went live. They also, I could not find this. They cut RFK
speech off after they let him go for quite a while, but the Mandy
started talking about the drug industry, and we'll get back to
I
John C Dvorak: actually could have clipped it, but it was
like, I wish I had it. I looked for it was they just abruptly
ended. It didn't go on much longer than I had to scrounge
around to get back to the speech. I have two clips let me
Adam Curry: play the CNN cut off because that's also quite they
cut off much earlier. The same shadowy DNC operatives appointed
his successor, also without an election. They installed a
candidate who was so unpopular with voters that she dropped out
in 2020 without winning a single delegate. My uncle and my father
both relished debate. They prided themselves on their
capacity to go toe to toe with any opponent and the battle over
ideas, they would be astonished to learn of a Democratic Party
presidential nominee. Yeah, we got to cut this off. Let's go
Unknown: to independent candidate Robert F Kennedy from
Phoenix, outlining what led him to his quixotic quest for the
White House, dropping out and relinquishing the title of
Democrat. He hit a series of complaints about the party.
We're of course, going to continue watching his remarks.
There's a back and forth over whether he's going to endorse
for There
Adam Curry: you go. So they just cut him off when he started
lifting the veil on the corrupt media. Wasn't gonna happen. But
it was, it was, it was interesting that Fox the minute,
you know, their their advertisers were in peril, you
know, talking about Big Pharma. Let's cut them off.
John C Dvorak: Obvious, people should listen to this entire
speech. It's available on YouTube, I believe, yeah, yeah.
It's quite interesting. He also has an excellent rundown on
Ukraine, yep. And I thought it was very entertaining. I have
two clips of just random clips of Kennedy's above the speech.
It followed by two clips of the CNN analysis, okay, which
contrast, because they brought in the some just brutal people.
Adam Curry: Did they call them mentally ill, though? Because
that that's No. I wish I had that.
John C Dvorak: That's great. I
Adam Curry: can't find it. Well, let's
John C Dvorak: go with Kennedy quits. Uh, random. This is
random one each time
Adam Curry: that our volunteers turned in those towering boxes
of signatures needed to get on the ballot, the DNC dragged us
into court, state after state attempting to erase their work
and to subvert the will of the voters who had signed those
petitions. It deployed DNC aligned judges to throw me and
other candidates off the ballot and to throw President Trump in
jail. It ran a sham primary that was rigged to prevent any
serious challenge to President Biden. Then when a predictably
bundled debate performance precipitated the palace coup
against President Biden. The same shadowy DNC operatives
appointed his successor, also without an election, they
installed a candidate who was so unpopular with voters that she
dropped out in 2020 Yeah. The whole speech was fantastic. I
mean, it was like a no agenda speech. We could have, we could
have written most of it. He's like, Yeah, just go balls to the
wall. Bobby, say this. It was great.
John C Dvorak: Here's a second, his second, another segment.
These are sub segments of a long speech. But I want the reason
I'm playing these because they contrast them what CNN said they
were Yes, I got it, and so now it made logical. There was no
illogic or rambling or anything. It was pretty straightforward.
It looked like he wasn't reading it. But let's play the second
one, even
Adam Curry: today, users who try to post my campaign videos to
Facebook or YouTube get messages that this content violates
community standards. Two days after judge toady rendered his
decision this week, Facebook was still attaching warning labels
to an online petition calling on ABC to include me in the
upcoming debate. They said that violates community standards.
There. Community Standards. The mainstream media was once the
guardian of the First Amendment and democratic principles, and
has joined this systemic attack on democracy. Shots fired.
John C Dvorak: Okay, so now it's so they like you. Pointed out
where they cut him off on CNN. I want to play two clips. These
are, these are short of their analysis of what he had to say.
And I want to listen carefully to this basic slander.
Unknown: Donald Trump, last week stood and said in front of a
bunch of groceries and said, I haven't seen any Cheerios in a
long time. I had Cheerios for breakfast. This was cuckoo for
Cocoa Puffs. And trying to get any logic out of that. Wow, did
someone
Adam Curry: on the studio floor laugh at that lame ass joke?
Yeah,
Unknown: time I had Cheerios for breakfast, this was cuckoo for
Cocoa Puffs. And trying to get any logic out of that is good
luck with that, because it's one, you can't understand what
he says. Two, if you can, you can't understand what he says,
and reminded of a line of in Mel Brooks's Blazing Saddles, when
somebody gets up and gives an indecipherable speech. He says,
Who can argue with that? That's authentic frontier gibberish,
and that's exactly what that is.
Yeah, good. Well, I
was going to say to your point though, Brianna, the big
overarching issue here for both campaigns, for the Harris
campaign, the Trump campaign, is the third party sort of X
Factor, and what that means for turnout in November. So even if
what he was saying wasn't easy to follow, it is still the
concern of either campaign, which is partially why Trump is
looking for that endorsement, that these voters are sort of
The X Factor and what they decide to do with RFK Junior
going into November, when it's going to be such a tight race,
and we've seen that before, back in 2016
Adam Curry: by the way, for a black, for a black man, to say
that and evoke Blazing Saddles, pretty racist.
John C Dvorak: So what was hard to follow? Or nothing? For Coco
pubs, nothing. Where was the illogic? There was none. I mean,
I only played those two. You could have played the whole
thing. And it followed a logical pattern. It was discussing
things in a straightforward manner that but no, no, no, CNN,
who didn't play any they cut him off, as you said, they they
start making stuff up. This is CNN has really become a battle
here. All
Adam Curry: media, all media that has advertising
John C Dvorak: sucks. It does part two,
Unknown: and yet his supporters may be confused, because we're
even confused based on his own statements. Now we've gotten a
fresh statement from his campaign, clarifying previous
remarks, in which, initially in this court fighting in
Pennsylvania, it said that he would be endorsing Donald Trump.
His campaign came out and said, That's not what's happening.
Then he, in his remarks, said that he was throwing his support
behind Trump over the war in Ukraine, what he described as
the war on our children and chronic disease was another one.
It's hard to make sense of Johanna Maska. What do you see
in all of this? As this rambling speech goes on and he launches a
test ramble Democrats well,
and look, he's reminding us who he is. I mean, he's the troubled
son of a famous politician who has had drug problems, problems
with women, nefarious business dealings with Venezuela. I mean,
there were a lot of questions about his intentions in this
campaign. From the get go, he is not ready for prime time and
certainly not ready for the presidency. I mean, he's never
held elected office.
Adam Curry: Yeah, this is why I'm so upset. I couldn't find
that Axelrod clip because there was someone else who came right
after Axelrod and said the same thing. He's mentally ill. They
were saying men and just listen to him. Well, we know that he
has a an issue with his speech, but this is, this is so mean, I
can't say it's mean, but this shows you that advertising based
M 5m they have to self censor. They cannot bring themselves to
speak against Big Pharma, against their advertisers, for
political campaigns, this is a bonanza year. I mean, there's
going to be a lot of money spent on advertising. They just can't
do that. No, now with and this is why it sucks so bad. It's
just horrible.
John C Dvorak: Well, that brings me to another segue.
Adam Curry: Well, no, I want to stay. I have a couple things I
want to say about Bobby's speech. If you don't mind, love
John C Dvorak: you want I just had, this is a choice. Yes,
Adam Curry: I won. What would Is there a segue to a different
topic than No,
John C Dvorak: no, it's not a segue to a different topic. It's
a segue to what you just said about advertising and drug
companies.
Adam Curry: Well, no, that's, that's off topic. Okay? You
know, because when I saw okay queen, I mean. Take it. No, it's
yes. Queen,
John C Dvorak: oh, sorry, yes, yes. Queen,
Adam Curry: come on, you can do it. So when I saw him do this, I
really the first thing I thought is, oh man. Because this I'm a
family man, I'm thinking, oh man, his wife hates Trump, hates
Trump.
John C Dvorak: She's this, okay, that's Cheryl Heinz, yes, and
who we may suspect of being his handler for the CIA, which fits
in with the but
Adam Curry: she has barely been given a pass. You know, no one
really talks about it, but in Hollywood, you know,
particularly with the what's the show? The bald guy, the show
that she's on,
John C Dvorak: Curb Your Enthusiasm. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So that guy is a Trump hater.
John C Dvorak: They're all. He really hates Trump. So for Larry
David. Larry David, yeah,
Adam Curry: so when, and it's hard to tell in our in Bobby The
Ops voice, but I felt real emotion when he says, This is
really hard on my this comes from inside edition, who, of
course, would highlight this
Unknown: RFK Junior's wife, actress Cheryl Hines, is
reportedly not pleased about her husband's endorsement of Donald
Trump. Hines famously co starred in the Larry David hit comedy
Curb Your Enthusiasm behind the scenes. Heinz is not at all
happy. Cheryl Hines is not
exactly enthusiastic about him dropping out
or endorsing Trump. RFK
Jr formally suspended his campaign today in the swing
state of Arizona, and through his support behind the former
president. This
Adam Curry: decision is agonizing for me because of the
difficulties it causes my wife and my children and my friends.
Unknown: It's a stunning reversal. The New Yorker
magazine says RFK recently texted a friend that Trump is a
terrible human being and probably a sociopath. We just
had a very nice
endorsement from RFK.
Adam Curry: I like how they have the little text message they're
going they show on screen, obviously someone you know, just
doing it for the camera. You know, he's a sociopath. Now, I
have just one more clip to play, but let's just look at a bit of
analysis. Because there's, there's a cup, there's people.
I've really been trying to go with the flow on the socials and
see what people are thinking. So I'm seeing a lot of RFK
supporters, and I wouldn't say there's a lot of them, but
there's many who are very vocal, and they are posting things
like, Hey, okay, I want to talk to Maga people. Let's, let's see
if we can become united. So there that's and I think that's
genuine. What I'm seeing, I don't know if it's a lot of
people, but there's some big, you know, people with a lot of
followers, and they're saying, Okay, we're going to follow
Bobby in this, and we want to join with Maga and there. And
that is being received very positively and optimistically.
Now there's a lot of people who are saying, well, this is crazy,
by the way, Whitney Webb would be one. She's getting a lot of
pushback. For the first time, she's saying, This is no good,
you know, he's too close to intelligence. And you know, it's
someone has to say the hard things, and so she's getting a
lot of pushback from people. Think the funniest one is, hey,
look, we always, it's always until Jesus Christ is on the
ballot. We're always voting for the lesser of two evils, which
is true. Then there's another contingent. I see it even the
troll room. He didn't suspend this campaign only in the swing
states. Well, I don't know. I mean, there's some there's some
thinking out there. Well, if Trump gets assassinated,
seriously, this is some of the thinking I'm seeing, then he can
still run. But I think if you're not on the ballot in the swing
states, you have, you have no chance. So I'm not quite sure
why he didn't just say, I'm suspending the campaign
everywhere. I don't know what the thinking is behind
John C Dvorak: that. My my theory on this is it's too much
work. It took them a while. It's just as hard to get off the
ballot as it is to get on. Really, oh, I didn't really,
would be a major expense that. Oh, what difference does it
make? Let's put our efforts in getting off the swing states.
And then he said, Who cares? Also, because he's still on
these ballots. I think he still gets Secret Service protection.
Oh, okay, so there's, there's things going
Adam Curry: on, and then, and then there's, there's an
interesting contingent of people who were very anti Bobby, who
are now saying, Okay, we think this is real, and we're all in,
and this is actually a good thing, because they don't agree
on everything, and he will be good, and it's clear that he
would be in, you know, HHS, or, you know, something to do with
FDA and HHS and EPA, which he's a very accomplished lawyer. He
has sued, well, at least his organization, Children's Defense
Fund. They have sued all these agencies, and they have been
successful, and they've arguably done a lot of very good things.
John C Dvorak: You know that you mentioned something. I was
thinking about HHS immediately, but you said something just
casually on the last show, which is, what if they made him
Attorney General? That's what I that's what I want. That would
be pretty remarkable. It's
Adam Curry: not a great position for a Kennedy, but it's, it is,
it was,
John C Dvorak: it's not. It's not unknown to the Kennedys to
be attorney general. And
Adam Curry: I'm sure you were very annoyed by one part of his
speech this, I can't help when I saw him say this, I'm like, oh,
John's gonna be all annoyed by this. Did you did anything annoy
you in Kennedy speech?
John C Dvorak: Well, let's see what you have. What it is that
you think about his endurance. Hold on, sorry. Here we go.
Adam Curry: This one, cancer rates are skyrocketing, and the
young and the old young adult cancers are up 70 79% one in
four American women is on antidepressant medication. 40%
of teams have a mental teens have a mental health diagnosis,
and 15% of high schoolers are on Adderall, and half a million
children on SSRIs. So what's causing this suffering? I'll
name two culprits, first and the worst is ultra processed food.
About 70% of American children's diet is ultra processed. That
means industrial manufacture in a factory. These foods consist
primarily of processed sugar, ultra processed grains and seed
oils. Laboratory scientists who form many of them formerly
worked for the cigarette industry, which purchased all
the big food companies in the 1970s and 80s, deployed 1000s of
scientists to figure out chemicals, new chemicals to make
the food more addictive. And these ingredients didn't exist
100 years ago. They humans aren't biologically adapted to
eat them. Hundreds of these chemicals are now banned in
Europe, but ubiquitous in American processed
John C Dvorak: foods. Now we
Adam Curry: know where he got this from, because he has been
advised by Cali. Means you are adamantly against this theory,
and in fact, you still am. You think it's a conspiracy theory?
John C Dvorak: No, I don't think it's a conspiracy theory. I
think it's a nonsense.
Adam Curry: No, you No, I'm sorry, yeah, well, I mean a
conspiracy theory in in the nonsense kind of way.
John C Dvorak: Okay, I can. I'll accept that. Yeah, just
Adam Curry: all right, well, I thought it was so can we take
anything he says seriously? Then, yeah, I
John C Dvorak: think the food supply is toxic. I'm not arguing
that. No, but
Adam Curry: he's he's clearly parroting talking points that
that come from someone else. I mean, what else? Oh,
John C Dvorak: he does that with climate too. So he's not an
original thinker. I don't think,
Adam Curry: all right, all right, because I heard that. I'm
like, Oh, John must be yelling. No, I'm
John C Dvorak: not yelling. Oh, you yelled at it when I played
Adam Curry: the clip. No, I
John C Dvorak: didn't. I just thought. I just said it was bull
crap. It's what I think. I said
Adam Curry: it was a little more animated than that.
John C Dvorak: So, so So the clips I wanted to play about the
drug companies are something we used to do on this show, and we
stopped doing it. Uh oh, we need to start immediately. No, we
don't need to start immediately, but we do have to play these two
clips. This is that. This is this. This is 1/62 ad that I
chopped up into two parts, okay? And this is, I never heard of
this before, and there's all these things coming out, and I
think they're going, they're getting what they can out of the
especially with the fear that Bobby Kennedy is going to have
anything to do with this, because he's against advertising
drug companies advertising on TV as much as anyone. And this is a
product called volkenza, D, O, Q, U, E, Z, n, a, kind of how
they go with this.
Adam Curry: They spell it, vokesna, voc, voc, vocna,
John C Dvorak: I think quest it says in the day, they'd say it
in the ad, you can hear how they pronounce it. But it's basically
a heartburn medication, so people have a lot of heartburn
instead of taking Tums or changing their diet, or, you
know, eating more base foods, as opposed to acidic foods or
whatever, or even eating more acidic foods that counteracted
you use this pill, and here's the opening. This
Unknown: is Steve. Steve takes boques. This is Steve's stomach,
where voquest can kick some acid heal acid related damage to the
esophagus, called erosive esophagitis and relieve related
heart birth. Valquez is the first and only FDA approved
treatment of its kind. 93% of adults were healed by two months
of those healed, 79% stayed healed. And valquesda can
provide. Heartburn free, days and nights healed.
Adam Curry: Is heartburn some kind of,
John C Dvorak: well, it happens. The damage is your esophagus,
and it has to heal. It's like, it's like, oh, well, the
Adam Curry: acid reflux can damage your Yeah, that's what
they're talking about. This
John C Dvorak: is an acid reflux drug, basically, all right, but
the second half as deep. It's almost 60. It's like the 62nd ad
27 seconds. Promote the product. Here we go. Rest some of the
worst side effects I've ever heard. And how this drug ever
got released into the public is beyond me.
Unknown: Burn free days and nights, other
serious stomach conditions may still exist. Don't take it
allergic to voquena or while on products with real pivoting the
quesna may cause serious side effects, including kidney
problems, diarrhea, bone fractures, severe skin
reactions, low vitamin B 12 or magnesium levels and stomach
growths. Call your doctor if you have diarrhea, stomach pain or
fever that won't go away, decreased or bloody. Urine
seizures, dizziness, irregular heartbeat, jitteriness, muscle
aches or weakness, spasms of hand speed or voice.
Boquezna can help kick some acid. And so can you ask your
doctor about berquesta? Yeah, this
Adam Curry: doesn't sound like a great product, bone fractures,
John C Dvorak: seizures. And by the way, the one thing that's in
all these ads, I can't believe anyone would take this if, just
knowing, you get two hugged bone fractures you may
Adam Curry: experience death when taking boquezine.
John C Dvorak: So what I don't get is, don't take it if you're
allergic to it, yeah. How do you know? How would you know? Ask
Adam Curry: your doctor.
John C Dvorak: Well, how would he know? Nobody knows, until you
take it so it makes no so there's an ill logic to all
these.
Adam Curry: It's a catch all. I used to be a Tums addict,
actually, and until I figured out that taking Tums actually
keeps the heartburn going. Yeah, it doesn't, it doesn't help,
doesn't help. And
John C Dvorak: I stopped, and it's always helped me, but it's
also got a lot of calcium, which you need. Okay,
Adam Curry: well, drink milk. Well, since we're on the Big
Pharma, we might as well bring out the news of the day
Unknown: tonight, Dr Anthony Fauci, the nation's former top
infectious disease official, and the face of the fight against
covid is dealing with his own health scare. A spokesperson
says Fauci was hospitalized for six days with West Nile virus.
The rear virus is usually spread by mosquitoes and can be deadly.
Fauci, who's 83 is now recovering. So we
Adam Curry: have all these mosquito diseases popping up all
of a sudden. My favorite is the triple E Oxford,
Unknown: Massachusetts, and three neighboring towns have a
reason for concern, as mosquitoes carrying a
potentially deadly virus called Eastern Equine Encephalitis, or
triple E, infected a resident who is now fighting for his
life.
We don't want to see another human case of Triple E this
year. The
rare but dangerous disease can cause swelling in the brain,
there is no treatment and anyone can get infected. The death rate
is as high as 30%
even if you do survive. Usually there are long term significant
health impacts, neurological impacts,
Oxford has been declared a critical risk for Tripoli,
prompting Health Department officials to recommend a 6pm
curfew for outdoor activities, including club sports. These are
recommendations. They're not hard and stop requirements.
We are definitely nervous about it. Sarah
Fournier is also worried her children's sports seasons,
football and cheer could be jeopardized. Cheer, but they're
taking precautions by wearing mosquito repellent and long
sleeve tops.
We can't stop life.
They need to get out there. They need to play.
This is their time to be social with their friends and be a part
of
a team. Now,
triple E symptoms usually begin between four to 10 days after
being bitten by an infected mosquito, according to the CDC.
Now, some of those symptoms can include fever, headache and
seizures. This sounds
Adam Curry: like another bunch of bull crap to me, this triple
E everything is what
John C Dvorak: I was just going to say I have the number. Was
it? Five people, 11. There you go. Well, but 11 people average
it annually, 11 out of 300 what? Three 50 million people, it's
gonna be 11 annually. The number is, is so minute I think
Adam Curry: that. I think the whole idea is just run stories
that make people anxious, and you get medication because
you're anxious. Oh, Xanax or whatever. I mean, here's another
one. And
Unknown: let's turn to another health concern. The CDC is
warning pregnant woman women about something called parvo
virus. What B
19 is a specific type of virus, and it's a virus that children
often get, and they don't really get that sick. The one thing
they do get a. They get a red rash on their cheeks. We call it
slap cheek syndrome because it looks like the cheeks were
slapped. For children, not that big a deal. For pregnant women,
it can be a problem because of the fetus gets it. It can cause
fetal demise, it can cause fetal abnormalities, it can cause
fetal issues. And so the concern is children spreading it to
pregnant women. So they want to be careful. Some of the things
you can do, you know, essentially, like we talked
about during covid, a lot of hand washing, you know, stay
away from people who might be sick, and you can certainly wear
a mask if you're concerned, because that can help to a
certain extent.
Adam Curry: You are correct. As you said, this is not new, but
do you remember the last time we heard about Paro virus in
America? Arrow, Paro?
John C Dvorak: That does? Par Yes, Parvo, parvo virus. You
Adam Curry: remember the last time we heard about this? No two
years ago? Listen to the difference in story tonight.
Unknown: Officials in Michigan have identified the mysterious
virus that has killed at least 30 dogs. Animal experts
confirmed today the disease is parvo virus. Not all the dogs
were completely vaccinated. Now trying to figure out why initial
tests came back negative for parvovirus, leading officials to
wonder if it is a new strain.
Adam Curry: So, so how come they haven't linked this as its jump
from dogs to humans? What a missed opportunity, and there's
a vaccine apparently, I think they're missing all kinds of
opportunities here.
John C Dvorak: Well, not they're just trying to keep people on
edge.
Adam Curry: Well, here's the real big news, because this,
this is going to bankrupt all systems, and
Unknown: a lot of the arguments around weight loss drugs have
been about the cost. A lot of times they're not things unless
you have diabetes that you can get reimbursed for, and they are
expensive, but it could be a change coming for Medicare
patients. Yeah, a big one about Medicare patients. Medicare can
now cover some weight loss drugs for the first time under the new
guidance, treatments that have been FDA approved for other
health benefits can be covered. So that clears the way for a
drug like we'll go be to be covered. It was recently
approved to be prescribed to reduce heart attacks and
strokes. So under the new guidance, if the drug is being
prescribed to reduce the risk of strokes or heart attacks, it
could be covered and other weight loss drugs may be
eligible in the future, as some are now being tested to see if
they can provide additional health benefits, the weight loss
drugs would be covered under Medicare prescription drug plans
administered by private insurers known as Part D coverage. The
concern for patients needing it, for say, like, non weight loss,
is really supply guys. I mean, my best friend is diabetes, and
he's can't get his RX.
They got to make
sure, you know, should be able to get it.
Adam Curry: Hey, if you got your RX lately, your RX RX. So that
is a very bad sign, because that means they've the lobbying has
paid off. It will be trillions of dollars to put everybody on
this nonsense, what I deem to be nonsense, and
John C Dvorak: we still have unhealthy you're stuck with it
forever. Yeah, we
Adam Curry: still have to clear up this. One little annoying,
eat less food.
John C Dvorak: Hello. We have to
Adam Curry: lessen the pie hole. One little thing we got to clear
up about this report. They're still combating it. There's
Unknown: a new study out today that links a popular weight loss
drug to a higher rate of suicidal thoughts. But there are
questions about the findings. CBS News CHIEF MEDICAL
CORRESPONDENT, Dr John lapook is here to explain. Hi, there,
John, hey there.
Nora, there have been relatively few reported cases of patients
having suicidal thoughts or actions while taking one of
these drugs for weight loss. It's important to note here that
obesity itself is associated with an increased risk of
depression. The study out today searched a large World Health
Organization database that tracks adverse drug reactions
and found a possible link between suicidal thoughts and
semaglutide, the active ingredient in wegovy and
ozempic. But Nora. The study has limitations. It only looked at
people who reported having a problem while on the drug. We
don't know how many people were taking the drug without a
problem. We also don't know what the dosage was and how long
people were on it. So far, the FDA has found no link between
these drugs and suicidal thoughts and actions, but it's
continuing to investigate Novo Nordisk, the maker of ozepic and
we go V says it stands behind the safety of its drugs, and it
will continue to collaborate closely with the FDA. Today, the
FDA stressed to CBS News that health care providers and
patients should have a careful discussion of possible risks,
especially in patients with a history of depression or self
harm, and that patients should be aware of the importance of
reporting any change in how they're feeling.
Adam Curry: So I just wanted to remind everybody that a lot of
people eat to eat away their their their problems, and we
have played many reports of this. I There's probably no
direct link that you get depressed from taking this drug,
and that's why they can keep saying it over. Over and over
again. The issue is there's a segment of the population who
are unhappy, depressed, have trauma, and they eat to cover up
when they feel sad or lonely, and when you can't eat because
of this drug, then those feelings come back. That's
what's happening, and we will see, I think, a reasonably big
mental health crisis. But that's okay, because we can sell more
drugs for that, which is groovy. I did have a boots on the ground
from Bowling Green, if you recall, on the last show that we
had a news report a clip about the compounding of GLP one drugs
in Bowling Green, Kentucky. So we have our producer, Joshua. He
says, boots on the ground in BG, Kentucky. Here after listening
to Thursday's show, I figured give a little background on
Bowling Green as NPR decided to call us just a small town in
Kentucky. While not huge, Bowling Green is the third
largest city in Kentucky, only about 45 minutes north of
Nashville, also home to the Corvette plant and the Mammoth
Cave National Park. Okay, enough for that the ozempic story
failed to mention. The bowling green is known for having the
most restaurants per person in Kentucky and in many surrounding
states. Because of this, it has always been a tester market for
new types of food, drink and candy. New KitKat flavor, we get
it. New ridiculous, unhealthy creation at KFC, or Taco Bell or
McDonald's Bowling Green is going to roll it out and eat it
up. Apparently, anecdotally, this one thought was
interesting, the amount of divorces happening among people
my age, elder millennial in this area over the past half year or
so has been astounding and often tied to ozempic and similar
weight loss drugs, so much so that the saying looks like
someone else is competing in the summer. Ozempics has become a
thing recently. So people are getting divorced because they're
like, seeing how they're hot. People walking around. Hey, any
babe, you're not an ozempic. I think I'm going to cheat on you.
Recently, I've noticed a major uptick in advertising receive on
Facebook and other socials for semaglutide drugs, even a hymns
commercial offering free and cheap injections. But I only see
these when I'm scrolling while in the bowling green area. The
messaging is everywhere here. When I leave the state for work,
there's not a peep of it on my socials. Well, that's
interesting. Bowling Green, producer, we need you to stay,
stay on alert, because we'll know if they're trying something
else out, because they apparently you're the lab rats
of America.
John C Dvorak: There's a couple places in the country like that.
What else you
Adam Curry: know of any any other one? Well, I
John C Dvorak: know the Seattle area was the lab rat area for
rolling out previews of movies to see what for
Adam Curry: focus groups. Hmm, interesting.
John C Dvorak: Apparently, the people up there were, like the
average movie viewer,
Adam Curry: I guess, but these, but these people is different,
like they given them horrible sugary candy and pretty colors
and all kinds of stuff to eat. And then they throw them on, uh,
oh, yeah, that's
John C Dvorak: what you do. You find a spot Where's average
American, and you just use that as cheap. Instead of doing a
bunch of real research, you find one place can't be doing that.
You use what you find the one place and you just see what
happens? Oh, it's actually smart.
Adam Curry: Well, it's smart if these people are aware of it,
which they're not.
John C Dvorak: No, you don't want anyone aware of it. That's
the No, you can't do that. Then it screws it screws it up like
the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
Adam Curry: Let's wrap it up with the the obvious to be
expected, the FDA
Unknown: is giving the green light for updated covid vaccines
from Pfizer and moderna, which have been designed and better
protect against the current circulating variants of the
virus. The best
plan going into this winter is for everyone to remain vigilant.
Vigilant, use the tools we have, tools treatment against the
illnesses responsible for the majority of fall and winter
deaths and hospitalizations. The FDA
says vaccinations continue to be the cornerstone of covid 19
prevention and can help avoid the lingering symptoms of long
covid.
The only way you get long covid is by having covid, and vaccines
can help prevent covid. Updated shots
are expected to be available at pharmacies and doctors offices
in the coming days or weeks. The release coming just as kids are
returning to school, the updated versions are approved for those
over six months, medical professionals are encouraging
anyone who's at high risk due to age or underlying health
conditions to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Health experts
recommend getting vaccinated sometime in September or
October. Going
to take a few weeks to get that protection, which may last for
several months heading into what may be a winter surge. Well,
Adam Curry: I must say, I know people who have had six
vaccinations. That's the OG and five boosters. And even they're
saying, Yeah, I don't think this is right for me. It's not
working for me. We
John C Dvorak: have that we I didn't get the clip, but we have
this one guy who keeps coming under our local stations. He's a
doctor at UCSF. He's a Chinese guy, Huang, something or other.
Yeah, and he just looks like a torturing he looks like a
character who plays a torturing person that I remember from
alias or someplace. He looks like an actor. And he is, in
some ways, and he come in his latest thing as well. If you get
covid, don't, you know, get the vaccine as soon as you can. If
you get covid
Adam Curry: After you get covid, yeah, oh,
John C Dvorak: that makes they're promoting this. Just get
the no matter where you could be sick as a dog. You get covid 20
times. Just keep taking this vaccine. I don't know. It's just
ridiculous. This, this, the logic is elusive, but this, in
that report there, they said, Well, you know the vaccine, you
take the booster and it'll last for three months. Yeah. How good
is that? Well, vitamin d3 Well, this
Adam Curry: does come timed with another FDA approval. John, get
ready, free stuff. Amid
Unknown: a wave of covid 19 infections this summer, and as
families start staying indoors more this fall, the Biden
administration is restarting its free at home covid 19 this
program. It's the third year in a row that families can order up
to four tests per household through the website covid
test.gov now the federal government is set to relaunch
the site again at the end of September. Since the program
began, it has sent out more than 1.8 billion covid tests. This
comes announced it has authorized updated covid
vaccines of both moderna and Pfizer biontech to better
protect against currently circulating variants. The CDC
said last week it estimates that covid 19 cases are growing or
likely growing in more than half the states.
Adam Curry: So they show this map during this bit of the of
the news report, growing or likely growing. Which is another
interesting little likely growing. What does that mean?
Well, and they show these colors, and you see New York,
California, they're growing. Not even likely growing. They're
growing. Texas and California. Texas and Florida don't even
have a color. There's nothing happening here. No covid. When
will people get it? I mean, not get get it, get the get the
covid or the VAX. But when will they start to understand,
understand
John C Dvorak: what that's bull crap. Yes, that
Adam Curry: the covid shot apparently makes you more
susceptible to getting covid.
John C Dvorak: It's crazy. It's logical, if you just keep
looking at the evidence. Now, I just went to covid test.gov
you're ordered for No, no, it was. It's a bullcrap report. Oh,
coming soon, you can order your free covid 19 test at the end of
September.
Adam Curry: Ah, fake news. That's fake news. And with that,
I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to
you, the man who put the C in the slap cheek, say hello to my
friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John
John C Dvorak: C, D, well, in the morning, you Mr. Adam curry.
In the morning, all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet
in the air, subs in the water, and all the Dames and nights out
there. Joke out,
Adam Curry: 2341 trolls, about the same as last Thursday.
That's pretty good. Hello trolls. Yeah, the trolls are
good. The trolls are whenever there's something cool going on,
the trolls always just pile on, like, Oh, this is what the boys
have to say about it, by the way, I just have to say, I got
to stop promoting this microphone. Everybody wants one
now.
John C Dvorak: It's crazy. Uh, six months, we'll have them
available.
Adam Curry: Dame Jennifer already said she'll be a booth,
babe for us.
John C Dvorak: Oh, for the trade shows ratios. That's an idea.
She'd be good at this.
Adam Curry: Yes, she would. She would move product. Dame
Jennifer can move product six months. Yeah, okay, all right,
six months. Oh, I
John C Dvorak: forgot we're gonna have, yes, yeah. The thing
is, and by the way, this is not, won't be an exit strategy,
because we need the show to promote, the microphone
Adam Curry: it. We need to get it done before Christmas that
that that's gonna be so difficult. We can do it. We can
do it. You can do
John C Dvorak: so now, hey,
Adam Curry: I'm just the promo army and Dame Jennifer are
moving product. Here,
John C Dvorak: we missed NAB, so we're okay. We can try to get
him out before Christmas, and then we can, oh, NAB, I forgot
about
Adam Curry: that. There's a whole bunch of podcast
conferences. We can go to all the podcast conferences. Good
John C Dvorak: about both? Yes, rather go to nab. No, I'll
Adam Curry: go to with blueberry. I'll go there with
Todd. You know, we'll do joints. Man, we'll do joint deals with
joints.
John C Dvorak: You're gonna do joints anyway. What's it got to
do with this? I
Adam Curry: haven't done a joint or smoked anything 18 months.
Very proud of myself that long. Yeah. From cold turkey baby cold
turkey trolls are in the troll room. You can find
them@trollroom.io the way you can find it on your modern
podcast app. Get it@podcastapps.com I'm
recommending pod verse today. Podverse actually revamping.
Gonna have a whole new pod verse, so you'll get a great
experience very soon. There's also, if you're on Apple, caste
Matic, people really like cast O Matic. And both of those apps
have a little donate button when you're listening to a 2.0
compatible podcast. If you want to donate, you hit that button
takes you right to the website. Takes you right to no agenda
donations.com
John C Dvorak: it's, well, that's nice, it is. It
Adam Curry: skips a whole, you know, call to action piece.
You're listening. You're like, you know, I would not have
thought that, but those guys, they really gave me some food
for thought. I'm going to support them, because I don't
want them to go away, because that will be the consequence.
And you pulled out a cute dog, not quite the puppy, but it was,
it was, it was close to puppy time. We'll see. What does that
even
John C Dvorak: mean? I don't know what that doesn't mean
anything. If it
Adam Curry: was, wasn't for my upcoming birthday,
John C Dvorak: you have a birthday,
Adam Curry: I do. I'm turning the big six. Oh, and for the
occasion, my wife, you're the same
John C Dvorak: age as Kamala Harris, and you're the same age
as walls. Yes, yes, correct? Who looks like he's 90? Yes,
Adam Curry: well, that's being ages. But okay, it's nothing
wrong with 90 not being
John C Dvorak: ages. I just say he looks like he's 90. How is
that ageist?
Adam Curry: Well, you say it in kind of a condescending way.
Looks like he's 90.
John C Dvorak: No, I said it in a surprise manner. Oh, okay, I
wasn't mean condescending. The
Adam Curry: bonus of these modern podcast apps is that you
will get alerted when we go live, which is really the way
that I think podcasts are going people. More people are saying,
Yeah, we should just do it live. Record it live. Stop with the
tape, the endless editing and trying to cutting out all the
UHS and the ums and the that's the beauty of it, and tightening
up white space. Hey, I love silence. I love it when we're
contemplating and we're in thoughts, and people look at
their podcast app like, Did it break? Did it stop? What
happened?
John C Dvorak: What happened? These guys still talking to they
still on? What happened? It's called dead air, yeah,
Adam Curry: but I'm not I'm not against dead air. I think dead
air is beautiful. There's no reason to have to fill up every
single spot of dead air. It's okay to have just silence for a
moment. Silence is golden. Yeah, we are able to speak the way we
have been speaking for the past hour and 45 minutes, because we
do not have any advertisers. We don't have to have something in
the back of our mind. You know, actually, there was something
that someone alerted me to let me see if I have this. One of
our producers, we always have the tip of the day, and the tip
of the day is typically, I don't have one today, by the way, so I
hope you have a good tip of the day. But Tip of the Day has
often been a product. If it's a product you like, it's usually
of the lube variety, but it's bull. Yes, it's bull. I'm being
funny. We had people very happy with the rollerblade wheels tip
from the previous show. I
John C Dvorak: finally got mine. And have you tried them out? No,
I just got it. Okay.
Adam Curry: It turns out that there's an Amazon influencer
program, and
John C Dvorak: you got influenced. No, no,
Adam Curry: there are 1000s.
John C Dvorak: Wait, wait, literally, stop. Now, all of a
sudden, it just done. I mean what you just said takes a
while. Amazon is paying people money to promote Amazon
products. Yes,
Adam Curry: well, it's, it's like the old affiliate program,
but they are actively as far as I know, I don't, I
John C Dvorak: have no look into this, because it's sometimes,
well, it's, it's
Adam Curry: okay, so our producer got approved. It's
called shop and the videos, it's usually videos. So it's Tiktok.
John C Dvorak: Oh, that's the end of us.
Adam Curry: It's shoppable, shoppable, shoppables. So
people, I
John C Dvorak: can't trust these influencers. You
Adam Curry: can't, well, you can't trust any podcast
actually, that talks about products except ours, because
we've been doing this forever.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we get nothing out of it. And and
Adam Curry: to be, to be, to be, you know, cut straight to it, I
believe this is a violation of federal the Federal Trade
Commission rules. I think you have to disclose if you're being
paid or you're getting a vision close to you from promoting
something. This
John C Dvorak: is true. Walt was about 678, years ago or longer.
Walmart
Adam Curry: is now doing this. Tiktok actually has their own
shop. We've known this for a while. We've talked about it,
but now it's gone way beyond Tiktok. Podcasts are doing it.
YouTubers are doing it. So be very careful. If it doesn't say
Tip of the day, you're no agenda show, you're probably being
scammed. That's just something to take note of, because we can
talk about whatever we want, because we don't get paid by
anybody. We get we get support from our producers, because we
don't even have listeners or fans.
John C Dvorak: Fans. We have fans the way you're derisive
when you say,
Adam Curry: Yeah, fans, as fans, you have to have fan days. We
have meetups. We have meetups. We got producers. Producers do
stuff. They send interesting information. They go down rabbit
holes. Yeah, okay, so sometimes they come up with weird stuff.
Ah, there it is. First one of the show. Okay, you're
John C Dvorak: up one to nothing. No, it, no.
Adam Curry: The tally was Adam six, John four. Adam five, John
Ford is now Adam six, John four. We have a producer, of course,
who was tracking that?
John C Dvorak: Good for him, Yes, so,
Adam Curry: so him. So it is six for me, four for you. I'm very
disappointed in myself. Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: am too because you're the one that can stop
stuff on a dime. Well,
Adam Curry: I I caught it the minute it came out, but it was
too late. It's okay, because
John C Dvorak: you caught it before now, do if you start to
say when you stop yourself right there
Adam Curry: earlier, I said, interesting. I've been working
on different words, Strange. Strange, yes, strange, we're
working on it. So we we get support in time, talent and
treasure, and one of the phenomenal things we've received
from Tim gaudrian. Is no agenda show net. He built that website.
He has, in fact, incorporated a lot of podcasting 2.0 features.
People don't realize this, but you can, you can take these 2.0
features, which, you know, the chapters, the transcripts, all
kinds of things you can put right into your website, which
is not a bad idea. Most podcasts have dumb, crappy websites and
and we have a good one, and that is what our producer Tim has
done for us, just as one of the many people who provide us their
time and talent, we'll be talking to our treasure
producers in a moment after we think we thank our artists for
Episode 1688, the title of that show was imposted. I was against
this art. I didn't like it a you, somehow you feel that you
had two gimmes in our every
John C Dvorak: and I got cheated out of one. No,
Adam Curry: it's always been two. You now have one left, and
you chose for Dame Kenny Ben's art, which was the balls for a
hot dog. And and I, and I couldn't figure out why I didn't
like it, until I saw it posted on some timelines. And now I
know if you step back, it looks like a monkey. You really have
to focus in on it to see that it's a vasectomy outfit that
gives you hot dogs for vasectomies. It looks like a
monkey when you just look at it looks like a monkey's face with
a monkey smile, and they didn't really work for me. But we have,
we have veto power here. I chose not to use it,
John C Dvorak: no what you wanted was the horrible tanta
Neal piece with a hot dog looking kind of like a limp dick
being cut in half by a pair of scissors.
Adam Curry: That was my top choice. The other I had other
choices. Let me see, not really well, I kind of liked commentary
bloggers, no agenda now with Blockchain, I thought that was
okay. And I saw that you use the riot drone by sweeper for the
newsletter, yeah, because it was an evergreen piece, yeah. And I
don't think that there really wasn't much else that that
really caught her? Oh, no. I like the the no agenda signs,
which was also a tantanil, which were like the DNC signs, like,
we love you, Joe and thank you, Joe, those stick signs,
John C Dvorak: yeah, the stick signs.
Adam Curry: I like those. I preferred that one, but you had
issues with it, which is probably. Totally true. It was,
John C Dvorak: it was the issues where it was just a little too
simple. It was, and it was small, it was, it didn't it
didn't work. Just didn't work. Yeah, anyway, I like the
creativity of it, but I didn't like it. Yes, you didn't like
it. Well, it's okay, man, it looked like it was done by hand.
I mean, it looked Yeah, that I give her credit for, yes.
Adam Curry: So thank you. Dame Kenny Benn, another Dutch master
at work, who brought us the artwork for Episode 1688, we
thank all of our artists. Of course, no matter what you're
doing, you put it up a no agenda Art Generator. It's appreciated.
A lot of this art is used in our 2.0 chapters, which you can see
in the modern podcast apps, also on noagendashow.net and dreb
Scott does that, so we love dreb, another great no agenda
producer. Now we want to thank our executive producers and
Associate Executive producers. We appreciate any donation. The
way value for value works is whatever you get out of the
show, you send us an amount back that equals the value to you. We
can't see what that means to you. So we're not putting any
levels or any hoops, or any, you know, subscriptions that you
have, that you have to go into. In fact, you can do a
sustaining, sustaining donation, your own subscription, your own
frequency, your own amount. It's all up to you, and as long as it
keeps working for both sides, we're in business 17 years. In
October, we're okay. $200 and above, you get an Associate
Executive producer credit. $300 above and executive producer
credit. And in both cases, we read your note and we kick it
off with Kristen Smith, who is in Katy, Texas. And Kristen
sends us $500 says, Happy Birthday, Adam, thank you for
the blessing of you in this world and being an inspiration
to others. John, am I inspiring? Am I an inspiration to you?
John C Dvorak: No,
Adam Curry: funny you and your inspiration to me. In many ways,
I doubt it. Yeah, you're right. May this day be the best of
birthdays, celebrating you and all things you love. Well, thank
you, Chris and I appreciate a
John C Dvorak: nice note. It's a very anonymous nights in Lewis
Barry, B, E, R, R, Y, next to Wallace Berry, Pennsylvania,
two, 421, 10. Appreciate you guys and the value you bring.
I'm hoping to be in Fredericksburg on Monday, 26 if
you're free for dinner, he's gonna buy dinner or she. I
Adam Curry: don't know it's a he, it is. Yes, if
John C Dvorak: possible, please play. JC, these jobs, they lap
it up. Clip, which he emailed to you,
Adam Curry: I'm not gonna play it because I know that you're
gonna hate it.
John C Dvorak: Okay, well then don't play. It's, it's
Adam Curry: you saying all kinds of lewd things.
John C Dvorak: We don't want that. No. And it's like, I think
the Nutting The peanuts is bad
Adam Curry: and Oh, then you'll hate, you'll hate this one. No.
So I don't need
John C Dvorak: to be ridiculed. I know. And that's normally on
the show. You're not.
Adam Curry: You are revered. You are revered. John C Dvorak,
yeah, yeah,
John C Dvorak: just get that mic and get this mic. So get me a
cup of coffee.
Adam Curry: By the way. May I make note of the fact that the
Trump campaign, who of course, still text me 20 times a day,
they have, they have gone, and it's just a trend. I just want
to mention it to you. They are now going for $10 every text I
get is just $10
John C Dvorak: I need everyone $2 $3 and $5 No,
Adam Curry: it's 10. I need everyone reading this to give
$10 the fate of the country is on the line. Okay, well,
John C Dvorak: so let's just stop right there. And I will say
this. This has to have been tested. They don't do this stuff
just out of the blue because they're shooting, you know,
blanks. They somebody tested this and determined that 10
bucks was the sweet spot. Well, listen to
Adam Curry: this from Trump colon, $10 question mark, if
everyone reading this gives $10 we'll outraise Kamala after her
convention ends. This is not a good strategy. Well, I hear, Oh,
I'm sorry. Well, this is Oh. This is interesting from Trump.
If, from Trump, if every Patriot in California chips in $5 before
my rally will break records. Well, the Californians are cheap
on the Cali's.
John C Dvorak: That's interesting. So you're getting
this to your California phone number. Idea, yes, yes, and
Adam Curry: everything is $10 $10 $10 now listen to this one
inbox, 99% full message from Donald Trump Jr will delete in
10 minutes. Read Now that's insulting.
John C Dvorak: That is bull crap.
Adam Curry: It's very insulting.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, I'm glad you're that. You're the
touchstone the lightning rod. I.
Adam Curry: I'm so mad at these guys. You're
John C Dvorak: the lightning rod for this crap. I
Adam Curry: am. A lot of pig butchering going, I
John C Dvorak: mean, I could be, but I don't know. You don't have
a cell phone. My phone is in the drawer where it belongs. Josh
Bates
Adam Curry: is in Jacksonville, Florida, and sends us 343 75 ITM
just baby making. Karma, please. One boy, please. Because if it's
a girl and gets her jeans, I'm gonna have to send it to a
nunnery on the moon. Thank you both. No problem. Here it is for
you. You've
Unknown: got Parma.
John C Dvorak: Here we go. OYSTEIN. OYSTEIN. Oistin,
oistin, I'm sorry, oistin Berg, and he's in Rotterdam, 2220,
we're already at the Associate Executive level. Yep, that ended
quick. Yep, it sure did with this donation. I would like to
bump my peerage up from Baron de vicount. You're on the list. I
have no accounting to show other than I know for sure I have
donated more than $5,000 to the show. That's a good number, if
it pleases the court and all the marshals I would like to be.
Well, of course it does. You can be whatever you want. We don't
have that many Viscounts. Curiously, they usually skip
over it to become the Viscount of the province, South Holland.
Thank you for your courage. Okay,
Adam Curry: oistin, I met OYSTEIN at the Amsterdam meetup.
This is the guy, well, he's about eight feet tall, weighs
about 160 pounds. He's very thin, but has a OYSTEIN, he's
not Dutch, it's, he's from, I think, Denmark. So he's a very
Nordic looking face. And he also, he does, he does value for
value music,
John C Dvorak: which is, what does he do? Oh, he
Adam Curry: does songs.
John C Dvorak: I mean, sing. Is he a singer, a guitar player?
Well, listen,
Adam Curry: I'll play a little bit for you. Hold on a second.
This is mosquito mystery by oistin Berger. Get to
Unknown: the singing part. Here we
Adam Curry: go. He has this whole song about mosquitoes.
It's very joyful. It needs more bagpipe. But otherwise, is
great. The bagpipe
John C Dvorak: is, I think the bagpipes should be used more.
Adam Curry: I agree. It's right up there with the banjo. It's,
he's a great guy. So we'll see you for your your upgrade in a
bit. Oy steamberger, Megan richly in Boise, Idaho, $210
Associate Executive producership for Megan in the morning
general. And this is the rightly, rightly. It says
richly, right there, pronounced richly. But that is saying,
John C Dvorak: I think is rightly. I know I see that
there, but I think she's got it wrong.
Adam Curry: Megan, you're pronouncing your own name wrong.
That's slick. John, this is the best birthday gift for the best
husband in the universe. Happy 58th birthday, David, he
celebrates today. We've been together for over 30 years and
never had a fight. He hit me in the mouth years ago, and we have
listened together ever since. Keep up the good work, and we
would appreciate some karma dealers choice for jingle. I
actually, I went and looked for one, a very old one. This is an
old one that we used to play when we before the Russia,
Ukraine war. This goes back. This one goes back maybe 10
years or so
Unknown: you've got Karma The much.
John C Dvorak: I don't remember that one. Yeah, I know you like
the coffee guys up. And he's in bensonville, Illinois, 208, 25
and he says, Keep up the good work, gentlemen. Uh, shows have
been great lately. But if you could use more African news, or
you could use more African news, sorry, watch the line there the
producers who went or went doing it again, yeah, who want fresh,
roasted, affordable coffee visit gigawatt Coffee roasters.com and
use the code ITM for 20% off your order. ITM, Hmm, good idea.
ITM, 20 stay caffeinated. Eli, the coffee guy, another self
promotion donation, which is good. Phil
Adam Curry: Barnett, Brentwood, Tennessee, $200.02 that's a nice
Palindrome switcheroo. He says, For my smoking hot wife,
Christy. Let me put that in right away. Christy, okay,
celebrating her birthday on Sunday. That's today. How about
a biscuit? For her birthday. Well, of course, they
Unknown: always give me a biscuit on my birthday. There
you go.
John C Dvorak: Linda lopatkin is up, and she's last on the list
shortlist today, a Lakewood, Colorado, 200 bucks, which is
very similar to her last donations. And she wants jobs
come for a faster, more exec, oh man, for a faster, more
effective job search. She writes, visit image makers.
Inc.com, that's image makers. Inc, with a K, go your go to for
executive resume and job search needs and work with Linda Lou,
Duchess of jobs and writer of resumes. So here's,
Adam Curry: here's another reason. Go love her. We don't
take advertising. We can't get a read straight the minute the
pressure is so on. It's so hard to do. The people are donating
to other shows. John and saying, you know, for for us for an
effective job search, there's something viral about this,
which is funny. Linda. Thank you very much. Jobs,
Unknown: jobs and jobs.
Adam Curry: There you go. Executive and Associate
Executive producers of Episode 1689, you can take these credits
and use them wherever credits of the show biz variety are
recognized, just like JJ Abrams is going to put his I did the
DNC 2024 gonna put that on his IMDB? Think he will. Well, you
can be proud of your production of the no agenda show, and you
can go to imdb.com add it to your list if you're already on
there. If not, you can open one or put it in your LinkedIn
profile. It looks cool. You can always say I'm producer,
executive or Associate Executive Producer of the best podcast in
universe. Thank you again for helping us out producing episode
1689
Unknown: our formula is this, we go out. We hit people in the
mouth shut.
John C Dvorak: Oh, I want to start off with something that
you are want to talk about, No, all right, and that is the
reemergence of the six week cycle. Yeah, yes, yes, yes. And
I have a clip which explains what happened.
Unknown: 66 year old Ronald siverud is behind bars tonight
Sean after he allegedly threatened to kill former
President Trump on social media now, sivru was taken into
custody in Cochise County without incident today, that
according to a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office there, the
66 year old has several outstanding warrants on separate
charges, including for a DUI and for failing to appear in court
in Wisconsin, he's also wanted for failing to register as a sex
offender, as well as a hit and run in the state of Arizona.
Clearly, he's got issues now the threat comes just six weeks,
just six weeks, just six weeks after former President Trump
survived an assassination attempt in Butler Pennsylvania,
Sid Rouge. Rap sheet also includes over a dozen aliases,
17 by my count, and multiple felonies. Well,
Adam Curry: this is another bonus for those agents, because
if you intervene, there's an intervention that you get a
bonus. They need to tie it into something from international
level. But this guy doesn't look like he has anything to do with
Iran at all. He's
John C Dvorak: one ugly guy,
Adam Curry: you know, I I had a clip earlier from inside
edition. I happened to have another inside edition clip. We
used to play more inside edition, I think, back in the
day. So it was fun to see what they're up to, and they had this
story as well with a tag. Five
Unknown: Secret Service agents have been placed on leave
following last month's assassination attempt in
Pennsylvania. There are
multiple Secret Service officials who have
been put on leave. At least five Secret Service members put on
leave. Four of them are from the Pittsburgh field office,
including the Special Agent in Charge, that, to me, would be a
likely indication that the agent in charge made some very bad
calls.
Trump may be breathing a little easier today, following the
arrest of a convicted sex offender who allegedly
threatened to kill him, the suspect was arrested last night
at a traffic stop in Arizona. Trump learned about the plot
moments before this interview with news nation at the Arizona
border.
We're in danger standing here talking, so let's not talk any
longer. No, I know about it, but they don't want me standing
here. They don't want you standing here
Adam Curry: either. Oh, man, I pray for him. Yeah, they would
be pretty bad six weeks. Yes, well, typical, that's we have
some real problems here in America with our intelligence
community. Real problems this Solingen in Germany. I'm
familiar with Solingen, not that and nothing's really far from
Holland. But this is not that far from Holland. I have the ABC
report, and then we have a. A late breaking report from
deutscheville. Here's the ABC giving us the rundown tonight,
Unknown: an urgent manhunt now underway in Germany for the
person authorities say is responsible for a violent
stabbing attack in the city of zollingen Friday night, ISIS now
claiming responsibility for the incident which left at least
three people dead and eight more injured. The city's mayor saying
last night, our hearts were torn apart. We in zollingen are full
of horror and grief, emergency calls coming in just after
9:30pm local time, the unidentified individual
attacking people with a knife in the middle of the crowded
festival of diversity commemorating the city's 150th
anniversary, an organizer at a stage nearby urging festival
goers to keep calm, but also your eyes open, because the
perpetrator is on the run. The crime scene cordoned off.
Forensics Team searching the area for evidence. The attack
occurring in the audience in front of this stage, the lights
above it still operating today as mourners gather nearby a
growing memorial of flowers and candles honoring the victims two
men, ages 56 and 67 and a 56 year old woman did not survive.
Police announcing a 15 year old is now under arrest. They say
they don't believe he was the attacker, but suspect him of
knowing about it in advance. Tonight, a police operation
underway at this refugee housing complex after they say they
received a tip in the case, authorities making a second
arrest there.
Adam Curry: Yeah, so turns out this guy starts stabbing people
in the neck. I have boots on the ground for this, shouted oliwach
bar. Somehow this is blamed on ISIS. But if you listen to the
deutscheville report, we quickly see that this is just another
unhappy newcomer. German
Unknown: police say a 26 year old Syrian man has confessed to
carrying out a knife attack in the western city of zollingen
that killed three people and injured eight others earlier.
The so called Islamic State claimed it was behind Friday
night's attack on the festival, but provided no evidence. Police
and prosecutors report that the suspect turned himself in.
Police Officers move in on the refugee center in Solingen, they
detained one man and questioned several others.
We are getting a lot of tips, and we have to investigate every
single one of them. When a tip becomes more concrete, then we
take action. We have to wait for the results of this
investigation, and then we can say more.
Earlier, the center of zollingen was cordoned off and the search
for the killer widened. The attack during a diversity
festival has left the city in shock.
Adam Curry: Yeah, so the whole diversity festival part, it's
all this is, this is the new normal. You look at knife crime,
of course, there are no guns in Europe to speak of. A man was
stabbed in the center of Amsterdam, actually not fair. I
mean, around the corner, almost from where I used to live,
Prince rosecraft. I mean, that is a stone's throw from my old
house. That happened yesterday or the day before, South Wales,
Newport, another stabbing Sydney, six people injured after
knife man rampage. And the common denominator, I hate to
say it is asylum seekers and immigrants in general that is
the common denominator, and it's just being papered over with us.
ISIS, please. ISIS,
John C Dvorak: unhappy newcomer, I think, is the term we're
looking for. That's a good show title to unhappy newcomer. Yeah.
When's the unhappy newcomers? They're here? Yeah, in the
United States, they let in a, you know, 10 million of them,
more, more than that, probably 2010, to 20. But I'll go
conservative and say 10, yeah, just to be nice, yeah. Uh. When
do they become unhappy and starts doing what they you know,
we can use guns here. So it'd be, you know, if you shoot
somebody in the middle of a crowd, it makes such a noise
that people are alerted. Guns are safer than
Adam Curry: knives, yeah, knives that cause much more
destruction, and it's really painful. Did you recall two
shows ago, we were talking about the that bogative story about
the 2.9 billion social security numbers, which, of course, is
not true
John C Dvorak: yet, right? More Yes. And I said,
Adam Curry: Be on the lookout. Be on the lookout for some kind
of legislation. Well, this came from multiple sources. The Biden
administration is working to expedite widespread adoption of
digital IDs, including driver's licenses and will be put into a
draft executive order. And it looks like login.gov will be a.
The portal that we will be asked to use for this, Oh, that'll
John C Dvorak: be hacked. Yeah. I
Adam Curry: mean, it's probably the worst idea ever, Eva, but it
is coming an executive order. And how long will it take before
you need that to do anything? Your ISP will require it to go
online. I mean, you can just see you coming down Broadway. I know
you think it's un American, which it is, but I feel they're
going to do this. They're going to they don't want people being
anonymous online. That's the ultimate goal,
John C Dvorak: ultimate the public's one account for
government. I'm looking at it now. Yeah, blogin.gov,
login.gov. Is for you. Individuals, use one account for
secure, private access to participating government
agencies. Yeah, baby, no one account for government. Learn
how to go you create an account now.
Adam Curry: Yes, go ahead. Create an account. Get ahead.
Get get a jump on it, John, get a Gmail address.
John C Dvorak: We recommend a personal email address that
you'll always be able to access, rather than a work email address
you already have an account with login.gov with that email
address, we'll send you an email to let you know how you can
reset your password and oh, yeah, okay, yeah, secure
passwords. Yes, yeah, one or more. Oh, now you need this. You
need one or more authentication methods, such as face or touch
for unlock security key authentication application, but
that's the one federal government employee or military
identification, and it's less secure if you use a test, a text
or voice message or backup codes. You
Adam Curry: know what graphene OS just released? You know
graphene OS is this alternative de Googled Android operating
system, which makes many smart? Finagled. Finagled, yeah.
Finagled, yeah. So they just released a new feature you can
add so you know, you can you log in with your passcode. You know,
your bunch of numbers, like a number pad, blah, blah, blah,
they've added a feature where you can have a secondary
sequence of numbers, and if you enter that so you know, the
police will say, give us your PIN code. Give us your PIN code
to unlock your phone. And you give them that code, it
immediately starts erasing the entire device, or
John C Dvorak: you give them the second code, yeah, exactly the
second code is a is a kill switch. Yes, it's
Adam Curry: fantastic. I love it. Well, yeah,
John C Dvorak: well, no, it's a great idea.
Adam Curry: Until they Well, they won't be happy, but they
won't be happy.
John C Dvorak: What if they grab the phone,
Adam Curry: no, they grab the phone, and then what they'll
say, give me your passcode.
John C Dvorak: Okay? And then they get to they get the fake
passcode. If they smart enough to see as a graphene OS, they
know you're trying to scam them, and they won't enter it.
Adam Curry: Well, then they won't get in, will they? Because
they'll have to kill me to get my passcode.
John C Dvorak: You know, you know, bamboo splints up the
fingernails you get, you'll give it up. No,
Adam Curry: that sounds American.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, totally.
Adam Curry: Not yet. Not yet. So we had a preemptive strike,
preemptive strike on Hezbollah. Hezbollah.
John C Dvorak: Have you noticed different ways of pronouncing
it? But I do like the kind of per the we need to stand up
Hezbollah.
Adam Curry: But most say Hezbollah. And, you know,
watching all of the DNC footage, people just be talking like
this, and all of a sudden, I'm just talking like this. I'm
saying,
John C Dvorak: yes, like French Canadian French, do they drop in
English words out
Unknown: of the blue.
Adam Curry: It's, it's strange, strange. But that's, that's
code, you know, it's kind of like Ukraine. That's, that's new
as well, if you're in the milieu. Is Ukraine, not Ukraine?
Ukraine anyway, let's see. I think we have a report here
Unknown: more tensions in the Middle East this morning after
the Israeli military carried out preemptive airstrikes in Lebanon
early this morning on what it deemed quote, terror targets,
Israel claimed Hezbollah was preparing to fire hundreds of
rockets into Israeli territory, so it acted first. Hezbollah
says they are carrying out strikes toward Israel in
response to the killing of a top military commander last month.
This comes ahead of a cease fire summit that is scheduled to
happen today in Cairo Tel Aviv's airport had to briefly suspend
flights, but resumed operations shortly after and US officials
say they are monitoring the situation closely. I'd say
Adam Curry: they're there a little bit apart if, if one side
wants to send rockets, the other side does a preemptive strike, I
don't think your ceasefire talks are going that well. But it
doesn't matter, because right on cue, Lady G pops in on tapper
Unknown: Lindsey Graham, Senator, we have a lot to get
to. Thanks for joining us. I want to start with the news
overnight that Israel's military said it launched preemptive
strikes against the terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon,
Hezbollah launched strikes back towards Israel. This comes as
hostage and ceasefire talks are set to resume in Cairo today.
How should the US respond to what's going on in the Middle
East, and what is your message to get the ceasefire and hostage
release deal across the finish line? Well, number one,
I think we got to remember that October the seventh attack was
generated, in my view, to stop normalization between Saudi
Arabia and Israel. It's a nightmare for Iran and her
proxies, for the Arabs and Israelis to reconcile and make
peace and take the region in a different direction. So as to
the hostages, I would hold Iran responsible for their well
being. If I were the State of Israel, I would tell the
Ayatollah, if these people do not come home alive, the ones
that are left alive, and if we don't get the bodies of the
fallen, we're going to blow up your oral refineries. Yeah,
that's the only way you're ever going to get the hostages
released. Is to put pressure on Iran. In
fact, I would say, bomb them, bomb them and then bomb them
again.
Adam Curry: Yeah, baby. Bomb them. Bomb them. Bomb them
again. Yep, Lindsey, warmonger, Lindsay bomb, you know, strap
him to a bomb. There's a plan. Finds him very annoying.
John C Dvorak: Picked up this clip. This is off. Goes to a
bold topic. Coming
Adam Curry: closer to the mic. You're not hitting the gate. I'm
sorry,
John C Dvorak: uh, this is a some the band clippage That
showed up again on on x, which is typical of musk. It would let
the stuff, and it disappeared once once more. This is the band
I just this clip has been sitting here for weeks. I've
been wanting to play it. This is the band clip. It this. You'll
like this.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I'm trying to find something that says has the
word band in it, and I
John C Dvorak: don't look for 911 Oh, this.
Adam Curry: Yes, yes.
John C Dvorak: So this is a long this is a fairly good clip. I'm
Adam Curry: surprised. We haven't talked about this. It
has been
John C Dvorak: two minutes, a two minute clip of all a
compilation somebody put together of all the band clips
during 911 there was all these reports that came in from
various quarters, PBS, the networks, everybody in between
Adam Curry: working audio.
John C Dvorak: Yes, it does. This was a very good audio clip,
actually. Okay, it's just all the band clips that kind of
indicate that. Well, you know, Something's fishy. Something
doesn't make sense. I finally
Unknown: want to introduce Lieutenant Robert Medeiros. He
was our first incident commander at the scene. Good evening.
My name is Lieutenant Robert Medeiros, M, E, D, A, I, R, O,
S. Lieutenant with the all into County Police Department here in
Arlington, Virginia. We arrived within minutes after the crash.
I couldn't believe what happened, and they said it was a
plane. And I didn't see any pieces of any plane. And I
couldn't believe that a plane hit the building.
You see the plane finished there? No,
I didn't see no plane. Didn't hear no plane. No, like I said,
All I heard was the impact, and then the plane, this huge ball,
ball fire came
up over the building outside
the Pentagon. CNN, Military Affairs Correspondent Jamie
McIntyre, and Jamie, you got very close to where that plane
went down.
That's right. Judy, a short a while ago, I walked right up to
next to the building from my close up inspection. There's no
evidence of a plane having crashed anywhere near the
Pentagon. The only site is the actual site of the building
that's crashed in. And the only pieces left that you can see are
small enough that you could pick up in your hand. There are no
large tail sections, wing sections, fuselage, nothing like
that, anywhere around we were
on the scene early this morning when all of the workers were
literally pouring out of this building, and here's what some
of them had to say about today's event,
getting ready to do my town trip. And one young lady was
running down the hall screaming and hollering, saying, Get out.
Get out. It was a bomb. And so everybody was like, everybody
stopped and looked. And then there was some more people
running and screaming, Holly, get out. It is a bomb. And then
when I was exiting out the door, they did say it was a bomb. And
everybody looked up. It was all black smoke. Just
finished our staff meeting, somebody said, told us about the
New York tragedy. We turn on CNN, and all of a sudden I hear
a boom myself. Oftentimes in the Pentagon you hear machinery
falling or this or that, but this was a little different. And
about a minute later, somebody ran into the office saying,
bomb. And everybody just starts running out.
When George Bush and Al Gore ran for president, they had three
debates. Nobody said, What are you going to do when the twin
do? Trade Towers come down, the Pentagon's bomb. The Pentagon's
bomb.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's great. Season of reveal. None of the
millennials believe this. Believe that the story. None of
them believe it. They're like, that's you boomers, you boomers.
You know, he's you got hoaxed by that and, you know. And the one
thing that that is, course, our favorite, which we've played on
the show for 100 years,
was one bullet I got some text messages. People say, hey, Elon.
Elon's live. Elon's live. It's something strange about him.
Elon's live. Did you see this? No. So you get a link, and the
link is to YouTube, suspicious by itself, and it's alive on
YouTube. And if you watch long enough, you see it repeat, and I
have a little clip
Unknown: I'm thrilled to share with you an exciting venture.
Tesla is embarking on a venture that will accelerate the
adoption and appreciation of cryptocurrencies worldwide. We
believe in a future where digital currencies play a key
role in our lives, enhancing the efficiency, transparency and
inclusivity of financial transactions. To celebrate this
event and show our appreciation to you, our esteemed followers,
I am delighted to announce a special cryptocurrency giveaway.
Adam Curry: And there's a QR code, there's a QR code, and
then, you know, you bet you buying something that doesn't
exist. I mean, it was, I'd give it a six on the scale of AI
fakery, but it was enough for people to text me and say, hey,
something's up with this.
John C Dvorak: It was the right voice tone,
Adam Curry: yeah, but not the real intonation at all.
John C Dvorak: It was the intonation was off. He doesn't,
he didn't have any. I mean, he really cannot talk that long
without flubbing. Yeah, exactly, exactly. And
Adam Curry: that was the giveaway, right there. And it's
much you know, when you see him speaking, and the mouth was
reasonably in sync, but not all the time. It's so it's so easy
to understand how people get scammed by this and this
cryptocurrency thing. I've seen this on on x itself, where it
says, Elon, you know, AirDrop. I'm air dropping my token. So a
lot of fakery. There was a funny moment that happened in
Australia. A Google lady, executive, I forget her name,
she was testifying via, well, what does Google have? Does
Google own? They don't have zoom. Maybe it was zoom. I don't
know. No,
John C Dvorak: it wasn't zoom. Did you see it? No, but I know
it wasn't zoom, because Google would never use it. Well,
Adam Curry: maybe the Australian Senate uses it because there
were Senators asking this, this Google lady about AI and
responsible AI, you know, is it responsible? And she's, it's so
lame. She's literally reading from her screen, you can see
her. I mean, it looks so dumb, but then this happens. This
Unknown: approach starts with research to inform model
development that encompasses topics such as data protection
and adversity
Adam Curry: responsible AI across the lifecycle. That's a
great statement.
Unknown: It highlights the
there is Google stepping in to be responsible. On my side,
since 2012 our researchers have published more than 300 papers
on the topic of responsible AI,
Adam Curry: so this boneheads phone all of a sudden starts
going, that's great, yes, let's talk about responsible AI,
that's a great statement in the middle of her statement. And
this is exactly what this stupid hearing was about. And so the
senator comes back and says,
Unknown: Can I ask what interrupted you earlier, when
you were talking and we heard a we heard a voice, is that? Is
that is AI helping you on this on this call. Have you got a
screen there that's helping with answers?
I do wish we had an AI screen for that purpose. AI is built
into all of Google's products, whether you're doing maps or
autocomplete in search or helping you with drafting your
emails. Our Google Assistant is and our products on the Google
Pixel phone using Google
um, I'm gonna,
John C Dvorak: I That's cute. That's a cute clip. Yeah, I
blanched a bit, though it's kind of hard. Yeah, I
Adam Curry: know. I know. So I've been talking to, well, I,
once a week, we do a board meeting, which is a podcast we
talked about, you know, the podcasting 2.0 developers, and
there is a. I think, a very valid use case for AI that that
goes beyond, you know, the no agenda beyond your bigotry
against it, yeah, no agenda. Art Generator is bad songs that we
won't play in software development. It, it apparently
is incredibly useful with auto completing with I've heard guys
who I've been working with for years say it's like magic. It
knew what I want. And in software development, there's a
lot of iteration, a lot of repetition. Sometimes, yeah,
it's tedious. It's tedious, yes, and particularly, I think it's
called PI fire or something, for PHP development. There are,
there are some AI models that are, from what I understand,
just phenomenally good at what they do. The kind of the funny
thing is that most of these are being run locally. It runs on
your own machine. It doesn't even run in the cloud. So while
it may be very good, I still don't see the big particularly
software development. I mean, is this the big market they're
going to go after? But it is working well for them. And so as
bigoted as I am, I did want to mention that that that there.
You know, that's a use case. I don't think it's worth 100
million, 100 billion dollars worth of investment, but they
are liking it.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you'd like it too if you had a bunch of
cycles backing you up that you weren't paying for No, no,
Adam Curry: it's running locally. Well, even so, yeah, I
mean, well, the AI stuff is okay. I run AI models here on a
computer at home, you know, I use it for some stuff, you know,
like someone said, Hey, can you write me a letter of
recommendation? Sure
John C Dvorak: works. Ai assistant writing you a
recommendation
Adam Curry: works incredibly this guy pretty much works
incredibly well for that. It really does. Um, yeah, this was
a kind of interesting story, and I want to get your take on it.
Unknown: On Friday, the President of Botswana
experienced holding a huge gem a day after a Canadian company
announced it had discovered the world's second largest diamond
at the karawi mine in the northeast of Botswana. It was so
big that President marguitsi Masisi had to use both hands to
hold it. And here is his reaction.
Adam Curry: Both.
Unknown: You have to have both. So
this is the 2492
characteristics. Carats. God is
Adam Curry: good. God is good. Are diamonds really worth
anything anymore? Seems everyone is going for the for the lab
grown diamonds these days.
John C Dvorak: I think that diamonds worth something.
Adam Curry: Well, that one's got to be worth something. But it
just,
John C Dvorak: that's a good question. This is probably worth
exploring. But the lab grown, it costs money to make a lab grown
diamond, and you don't want to get them
Adam Curry: so big, right? Oh, there's a size limitation on
lab. You
John C Dvorak: can't make anything like that size of a
softball, huge.
Adam Curry: I know that. But you know, you keep hearing people
saying, you know, I mean, so a really nice engagement ring, lab
grown diamond 500 bucks versus, you know, 510, 15,000 and
they're just as pretty. You know, I think diamonds may be
falling out of favor as a as a store of value.
John C Dvorak: We need to talk to an expert, somebody, you
know, I hate to be redundant, but there's somebody says, a
producer in our audience, that knows exactly Moishe, moisture,
moisture. And he's over there. He's in New York. So there's
somebody that knows the answer to this. It's not a question.
It's just like, we need some background. Yeah, we're
interested. Interesting. Can you make them how much do they cost?
What is the real expense is, can you really get a one carat your
how big is this ring you're describing for 500 bucks? Is it
a whole carrot? I
Adam Curry: don't know, but I don't know. I've only, I've just
heard some reports, and, you know, people talking about lab
grown, and I think there's even ads. Probably heard an ad like,
Oh, honey, it's beautiful. That's right. You know, it used
to be, what was the the Formula Three months salary? Yeah. Is
what you should spend on, which is a great, great mind control,
something same formula
John C Dvorak: women created, yeah, uh huh,
Adam Curry: yeah. And what do you do with this thing to 2493
carats? What do you do with that visual? You
John C Dvorak: have to break it up, and you had to break it up,
Adam Curry: baby. Good good news and bad news. Good news is, I
got a giant rock for you. Bad news is, it's gonna weigh you
down. 2490
John C Dvorak: some joker, she put, just put a setting around
it, just for one time.
Adam Curry: Hey, I guess the High Court has finally spoken in
Venezuela.
Unknown: Venezuela's top court has ratified the results of what
quickly became the most controversial election in the
country's recent history. Venezuela held presidential
elections on the 28th of July, where longtime President Nicolas
Maduro was declared Victor despite a slew of allegations of
fraud and voting irregularities,
on the basis of the opinion of highly qualified electoral
experts, we verify in an irrefutable and unequivocal
manner the results of the presidential election, July, 28
2024 where the citizen, Nicolas Maduro was elected as president
of the Bolivarian republic of Venezuela for the constitutional
period 2025, to 2031,
Adam Curry: man that that's, that's crazy. I mean, seems like
that was pretty rigged,
John C Dvorak: even show was the judge, yeah, dude, that's what
would happen here, if we, you know, keep going the direction
we're going, yeah,
Adam Curry: that's that. Trump's new thing is, we're gonna make
it too big to rig, yeah, sure.
John C Dvorak: Good luck. Well, I miss Stuart varney. Varney,
can I, you know, just, just, just
Adam Curry: before we move on to Stuart varney. I I'm at this
point, I'm a little more concerned if Trump wins. But
there are, because I think the the the people who we saw at the
convention, those types and their ascendants, no, that's not
the word. What is the what's the term? I'm
John C Dvorak: looking for people, Ascendance, yeah,
Ascendance,
Adam Curry: yes, Ascendance. I I'm worried they're gonna go
nuts. Very nuts already, no, but, but they're violently nuts.
Black Lives Matter. Nuts.
John C Dvorak: Oh, that's what happened to when he first got
elected and you had that the woman in green screaming out
from her knees,
Adam Curry: yeah? But I'm talking about violent, causing
destruction, setting fire. Here's
John C Dvorak: what my take on that is, I agreed with the basic
thinking, but these soy boys and the guys who were in the
Palestinian protests, they were supposed to storm the
convention, they don't have the balls to do this stuff. Yeah,
maybe get some black guys to do but if you have a lot of black
voters that vote for Trump, I just don't think they have what
it takes.
Adam Curry: Hey, get some black guys to do it. Okay, John,
John C Dvorak: well, that's Antifa. I mean, BLM is mostly
black guys. No, but no, yeah. Well, okay. Well, whatever the
case is that they've lost their their testosterone, they were
Democrats, appealed to this weenie group. I mean, there was
a couple that was showing, I didn't get the video, but a
couple bragging about all the sex they had. And it was one of
these, what, you know, tick tocks. It was a tick tock with
these two delegates, and they were bragging about the sex they
had, but the kind of sex they were have. It was a gay guy and
some influencing girl and the gay and they were both talking
about how much, you know, Dick They got, literally. And it was
like the Gay Guy was getting it, and so was she. They weren't
having it together, these two. And it's just like, it's a
disgusting group. I mean, the people are just, they're lost.
It's a lost cause. And, yeah, maybe they want to be violent,
but they're just go back into their hole.
Adam Curry: Oh, there you go, back into your hole,
John C Dvorak: back into your hole. It's gonna be, it would be
disappointing to them, but if you remember Rachel Maddow
crying when Trump got elected in 2016 Oh, it'll be great for the
show. These people are pathetic. It'll be great for them either
way. I mean, here's the kind of people you get. I have a clip.
Oh, this is a guy, just a casual man on the street, guy trying to
get a job, I guess. But this man on the street is a kid, and he's
interviewing some pro Kamala person. And this is where it
goes, Trump or Kamala? Kamala,
Unknown: I like her, and I'm a Democrat. And why do you like
her? Because she will be a good female president. And I would
love to have a good female president for the US. And
what do you think she'll do good for our country?
She'll actually help our country more than Don. Donald Trump
would do because she is smart and she's more reliable.
And what do you think are some exact things she'd do? She'll
do lower income and lower taxes,
so she'd lower everyone's income. Yes.
Is that a good thing?
That is a good thing. What
do you think about Donald Trump? Donald
Trump is the worst president in the whole wide world. How come?
Because he hurt the Capitol Building and he started World
war three.
Adam Curry: All right, here we go. Just step back. You deserve
it. My lord, kama will lower your income. That's a good
thing. And Trump hurt the Capitol building. Oh, it's
great. Well, you know what? You want to make predictions about
the election? You want to, you want to step it up. You want to
make predictions.
John C Dvorak: It might be a little premature. Uh, sure, I
make a prediction.
Adam Curry: Let's, let's just say if everyone stays alive, and
that's on both sides, if everyone stays alive as it is
today. So with Vance as VP, waltz as VP, Trump as P, and
Harris as P, and then we throw in Bobby The Op that he'll stay
in and do his stuff for Trump.
John C Dvorak: What do you think wins?
Adam Curry: Yeah, I think so. I think I think big.
John C Dvorak: Well, yeah, I don't know, but, I mean, I think
he could win big if they don't try to fix it,
Adam Curry: even if they try to fix it, I think it's going to be
too hard now, and you know, if it stays status quo, I mean,
anything could happen. There could be some huge distraction.
I mean, obviously, but today, as of today, I think you're right,
John C Dvorak: it would surprise me if he doesn't win, and we
still have another, what, 7580 days to go, yeah, seven, and
they still haven't talked to Kamala, and who knows what's
going to happen at the debate? I mean, he could get drugged and
pull a Biden, I don't know. I mean, the debate will be the
turning point, because if she has to talk, then the vote her
support disappears if she actually has to talk. The thing
is, you have to remember this, and I would like to go back and
check this out. When she debated pence, she beat him.
Adam Curry: What did I don't remember.
John C Dvorak: I do, and it was Pence was glib. He was arrogant.
He Pence has got no personality. He was no good. I think pence,
technically, we should have won, because he said better things
and he had and but he was just this. He's like a robot. He's
terrible. He doesn't have the personality like a Vance. Has a
lot of personality. He's got tons of personality. What
Adam Curry: if we were advising the Harris campaign, which,
let's face it, I'll never get that gig,
John C Dvorak: that's for sure.
Adam Curry: What would we advise her to do in a debate with
Trump? What would be the way to do it? What? What is her
strength? What is her What is her superpower that she can use?
I don't see it. I think
John C Dvorak: we had to go back and examine what she did to
pence, and it was mostly blocking, blocking and tackling
block, not tackling, but blocking, whatever argument had,
denying what the opponent says and then lying a lot.
Adam Curry: I only have one clip very short from that we have
from the pence combo debate. Let's see what it is. Pulling
back
Unknown: regulation. Thank you. Thank you Vice President,
energy, fighting for free and fair trade and all. Thank
you Vice President,
if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, you know, that's a good segue
into our third
Adam Curry: that's nothing. I don't I don't even remember her
debating. Debate. Let me see I do.
John C Dvorak: And I think that was the debate where the fly
landed on him.
Unknown: That was good,
John C Dvorak: wandering around it on his hair and here and
there. And he was oblivious. The guy was no good. I mean, Pence
was and then he had the gall to think that he could run for
president. And he was just a guy. He was just a guy with the
hollow shell of a man. Here's
Adam Curry: a Kamala on Donald Trump. Let's see what this is
also short.
Unknown: Pelosi has said that members of Congress have to be,
in her words, fair to the President and give him a chance
to exonerate himself. You've already said that, based on
everything you've seen, you would vote to remove him from
office. Is that being fair to the President?
Well, it's just being observant, because he has committed crimes
in plain sight. I mean, it's shocking, but he told us who he
was. Maya Angelou told us years ago, listen to somebody when
they tell you who they are. The first time during that election,
Donald Trump told us he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue
and get away with it. So that's
Adam Curry: probably what she'll do. She'll just keep bringing up
all these things, very fine people. Yeah. The tropes, the
tropes, yeah, very fine
John C Dvorak: people. Is good losers, and
Unknown: he has, consistently, since he won, been selling out
the American people. He's been selling out working people. He's
been selling out our values. He's been selling out national
security, and on this issue with Ukraine, he's been selling out
our democracy, yeah,
Adam Curry: but it's different when she has to actually face
him. She didn't face him. So, hmm, I don't know. I don't know,
but if she gets under his skin and he starts going off, that'll
be bad for him.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, and she could do that. She's, she's
annoying, yeah, yeah, she's, yeah, she can do that now.
She's, he's having Tulsi Gabbard help him. So I hear debates, so
I hear, supposedly, yeah, and they asked her about this in one
of the shows, and she says, Well, you know, it's not that
much I can do because he's, you know, he's, he's got a style,
and I can help here and there. I don't know if she's because
she's Tulsi Gabbard was very good at getting under people's
skins, and she she was got under Kamala skin, and hopefully Trump
will use the same technique she did. Maybe that's what she's
there for. Let
Adam Curry: me see it was Tulsi Kamala. Kamala. Kamaka I have a
bunch. I
John C Dvorak: had a couple of shows ago. I had
Adam Curry: Tulsi attacks, communist record. Here we go.
Unknown: So let's talk about the
debates last night, because you had quite a moment. You said,
Senator Harris says she's proud of her record as a prosecutor
and that she'll be a prosecutor president, but I'm deeply
concerned about this record. There are too many examples to
cite, but she put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana
violations, and laughed about it when she was asked if she ever
smoked marijuana.
She blocked evidence.
She blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from
death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept
people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap
labor for the state of California, and she fought to
keep tax bail.
Adam Curry: You know, if they go back and forth and are they even
doing a debate? I mean, I hear Trump saying that she's she
pulled out, and she won't do the debate. And there's all kinds of
noise about that. That's only the
John C Dvorak: fox debate. Okay? She won't do a fox debate. She
she's got friendly fire at ABC, yeah, and ABC will cover for
her, and so that's not good. And so they're going to do the ABC
debate, even though Trump has them in litigation. Trump
Adam Curry: should just run on this economic record during his
four years, and that's it. Then not going that's not going to
happen. Oh God, are these debates on show days by any
chance? Well,
John C Dvorak: the one that we're talking about is the 10th
of September. So we can look that up. Okay,
Adam Curry: 10th of September?
Unknown: Yes,
Adam Curry: my friend would be my heart skipped a beat when
this Tuesday? Oh, there's a there's Trump with, with
Marjorie, Taylor Greene in front of the Trump plane. Okay, it's
another text message. I hate you people. Hey, just news came out.
It's very, very troubling. The Atlantic Ocean is cooling at a
mysteriously fast rate,
John C Dvorak: cooling that's not that's bullcrap. That's not
global warming. In June,
Adam Curry: temperatures in the Atlantic were two to five
degrees Fahrenheit, hotter than normal in much of the ocean,
with some areas getting as much as nine degrees warmer than
average. Those temperatures weren't a one off, as the
Atlantic had regularly seen record breaking levels since
March of 2023 however, NOAA data shows Atlantic sea surfer
temperatures have cooled at a surprising rate since May. Oh
no, they don't, and they can't. The new scientists, they can't
explain it
John C Dvorak: sunspots. Well,
Adam Curry: yeah, they can't. No one has looked at the sun. They
they haven't looked at the sun for any of this
John C Dvorak: forbidden the sun be taken into account. You want
to do your Varney clip before we get out of here. So, yeah, this
is the last clip before I get to the break. It's a good clip.
It's about giving away our money. Oh, yay.
Unknown: A taxpayer funded group is offering $30,000 to new home
buyers. Lauren, you cannot apply if you're an American citizen.
What's with that? Why
would an American citizen apply for a taxpayer funded program to
get $30,000 for a new home I mean, it's wild. The group is
called Hacienda Community Development Corporation. They
offer payment assistance in Oregon to DACA recipients, the
silese green card holders, basically any non US citizen.
This is state sponsored discrimination. Stuart, that's
what it is. I mean, it's crazy. That's their goal. They want to
open up housing and the American dream to non US citizens.
Okay, I guess that's the reason why. That's why we have an open
border, because eventually these folks will vote and vote
Democrat, because they're the people who let them in. That's
what this is about. Part of
me wants to say crazy things happen in Oregon, but I think
this will go far beyond Oregon. There is a critical shortage of
houses across the United States, particularly in Oregon, and then
they're giving 30k to non taxpayers,
yeah, which will raise the price of houses for everybody else.
Hey,
Adam Curry: who's, who's, who's Trump's economic guide. He
doesn't seem to have someone out there, you know, with economic
chops. Where's Kudlow?
John C Dvorak: Well, Kudlow still doing his show. Mnuchin
showed up at the Republican Convention to hang out,
Adam Curry: and you can't use, oh, man, I heard what's his face
the mooch Scaramucci on Horowitz's show, the decision
investor. Oh, he hates Trump,
John C Dvorak: which is, I mean, how did that happen, and why?
Well,
Adam Curry: Trump's a no good. He's a liar. He he hates you, He
loves you, then he hates you, and he's no good. And buy
bitcoin. That was pretty much the interview. Yeah, the mooch
Trump needs. He needs a name. He needs a name in there someone to
go. He needs a surrogate name, yeah? Because that's what,
that's all people care about. I think at least that's what we'd
recommend. Who would we recommend?
John C Dvorak: Jamie diamond.
Unknown: I'm gonna show my salad by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun.
Adam Curry: Yeah? Oh no. Agenda in agenda. Yeah, that's not
gonna happen either. Okay, let's thank our exec, our producers,
who came in $50 and above. We read every single name and
location. Sometimes your note depends, and we try to keep it

note about it was just cultural, because we talked it out. But he
was like, You don't know anything about Indians. You
don't know anything about clear, I'm surprised you didn't know
about our digital ID in India, which apparently they have. But
he closed it out by saying, the Brahmins, they really no one
cares about them anymore. In India, they are, however, in
positions of power, so
John C Dvorak: we don't know anything. Okay, good, yeah, he's
obviously a irked Indian. No,

yourself. It's easy.
Unknown: Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and
days

Adam Curry: Man, I'm sucking on the ISOs. Lately, we always like
to choose our end of show ISOs around this time in the show.
You know, just to show you how the sausage is made, not that we
do any other prep on the show, except individually, we do a
lot. I only have one so this is, this is my entry. Douchey,
folks. Now you didn't hear it running here. Let's do it again.
Hey, douchey.
John C Dvorak: Douchey. That's it. That's it.
Adam Curry: I have nothing.
John C Dvorak: I failed much either. I only got two. Okay,
what
Adam Curry: do you have? Let's see if we got a joke, a joke
that's RFK, that's pretty funny.
John C Dvorak: And reputation, your
Unknown: reputation for quality, is unheard of in this
Adam Curry: industry, as to. Long. It's just it's four
seconds. It's too long. Has to be three or less. It's too long,
you seven. RFK, a joke, a joke. Okay, we'll take the joke. We'll
have to take the joke. Hey everybody, it's time once again
for that phenomenal non sponsored, non money making Tip
of the Day.
Unknown: Answer you and me just
a tip with JC, and
sometimes I don't, all
Adam Curry: right, this is everybody's favorite segment in
the show, the tip of the day. These are very handy. And
there's, we're not doing any shopping deals, no FTC problems
here, uh, instead, we just give you a straight up tip that is
handy and useful for you.
John C Dvorak: Enzyme, laundry detergent. So in the 60s and
70s, there was this fad. It never caught on it, but it came
out of Europe, because we are eliminating the phosphates from
detergent, because they were causing all kinds of algae
blooms everywhere, because they were basically poisoning the
rivers, and so phosphates were taken out of detergents. And I
got a lecture from a guy at Procter and Gamble about this.
He says, that's why you never buy powder detergents. You buy
liquid, because the substitutes for these phosphates were always
you couldn't make it into a powder anymore. You had to just
buy liquid detergent. So don't buying powder detergent is no
good, not necessarily true at the competition, which was an
enzyme product. These were promoted in the 60s and 70s. Biz
was one of the big names, which has been bought and sold and
then reformulated. I don't even know if it has enzymes anymore,
but enzymes require they use. You have to use cold water, and
you have to soak the clothes for like hours. Oh, and
Adam Curry: is that when they turn marketing around said cold
wash,
John C Dvorak: that part of it, yeah, they came up with the cold
wash stuff, but, cold wash really works best with using
enzymes. And so I use Pro enzyme. I've had good luck with
that, but there's other brands. You have to do little research
and find something you like. But the problem is you do have to
soak you so you get your your wash going, and you have to soak
for like, anywhere from two to 24 hours. And so it's
inconvenient for that probably nobody wants to do. We don't
want it, but it will take grass stains out. It will take blood
out, if you have Yes, especially if you have a lot of blood on
your pose. You never know. And it takes all this stuff out.
That's why the enzyme, the enzymes, eat away at stuff that
normally you can't get rid of with normal washing, which is
sometimes just sets the stain. So look at the enzyme, and I
remember that we had a discussion about using fabric
softeners, and you finally got off of that kick.
Unknown: I was years ago.
Adam Curry: I was using the washing machine, balls in the
nuts, the nuts in the sack. What were those nuts? The washing
nuts,
John C Dvorak: I don't remember. It was bad. Oh, yeah,
Adam Curry: came into my life and she said, you know, this
great and everything, but we can't have these washing nuts.
Is no good. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Anyway, people should look into enzyme
detergents, but it does require, uh, soaking. And his issues, it
was, became popular in Europe because it's an energy saver.
You don't use hot water, and it's just it makes, it does
clean and it keeps things as brightens.
Adam Curry: Do you have a brand you recommend of these ends?
Yeah, pro enzyme, pro enzyme, pro enzyme.
John C Dvorak: Oh, excellent. But there's other brands, and
there may be better ones.
Adam Curry: There it is. Ladies and gentlemen, your tip of the
day. All right, everybody,
Unknown: thanks for coming out tonight. We got one more for
you. It's called the tip by Adam curry and John Cena 4x
Adam Curry: Hey, for those of you listening on trollroom.io,
or hanging out on one of those modern podcast apps, the stream
continues up next we have, where are these broadcasters? Huck
tall to the ball. Great, by the way, it's a great name for a
microphone in our line, the hook Taw mic. Think we should have a
hook Taw Mike special.
John C Dvorak: Put it on the list here suggestions along with
Adam Curry: the valve mic end of show mixes. Ladies and
gentlemen, I received no new mixes, but that did give me an
opportunity to roll out some classic Chris Wilson and rexo,
who we also have not heard from in a while, but they are, of
course, au curent as always, because that's how good our end
of show mixers are. Looking forward to our next show on

Texas, FEMA Region, number six in the morning. Everybody. I'm

John C Dvorak: Your nets off movement, well, no,
Adam Curry: wait, wait, let's, let's
Unknown: work on it. Let's
Adam Curry: work on a little bit of a campaigning here for a
second. We need a chant. So HO. How about
Unknown: hey, hey, ho ho.
John C Dvorak: Your balls have got to go hey, hey,
Unknown: ho ho ho.
Adam Curry: Let's do something a little more subtle. Don't be
DAST. Don't be silly. Save the Earth. Sniff your willy.
Unknown: I small house, no cows, planets,

a let the fly, play
or drive a car.
It's all the same. So cut your nuts off. Yeah, cut your nuts
off.
Cut your nuts off to say the planet. Cut your nuts off to say
the planet. And
Adam Curry: it's perfect. It's a perfect time to shame men into
doing this. Get the climate back. Snip your sack. I mean,
there's a million things we can come on. Push the climate back.
It's easy. Snip your sack. I mean, there's just, there's so
many we can do. I
Unknown: get so stressed out in election season. Sometimes I
wish I was sleeping like the majority of this country living
in dimension B. And I get so stressed out in election season,
no doubt, going off the demon, it's torturing my screen. Time's
up. Even on the weekend, I can't seem to put my phone down. I
could read this tomorrow. No, I gotta know now we're living in
the greatest movie of all time. I don't want to miss a scene. I
don't want to slow down every fourth Halloween, I don't even
dress up, cause every fourth Halloween, I become a whole
clown, political junkie, addicted to the news cycle, so
excited waiting for the next to roll out. Man, Alicia, season
season. I hate myself. I'm so embarrassing. I become someone
else. My demons. I should get some help. Help. This has got to
be detrimental to my health. Adam and John, please save me. I
feel like the world's trying to drive me crazy twice a week is
good, but I could use y'all daily, if nothing else, just
during election season, cause I get so stressed out in election
season, sometimes I wish I was sleeping like a majority of this
country living in dimension. Bn, I get so stressed out in
election season, no doubt going off the deep end, it's torturing
my screen. Time's up, even on the weekend, and when it's over,
no matter the conclusion, I will make a bunch of promises to
myself that I probably won't keep, like, a New Year's
resolution, like next time I don't care who is running, I'm
not gonna do this four years later at a Sunday service,
losing my mind, listening to Kanye tell me that this is the
most important election of our lifetime, then, you know, I'm
right back in it. Man, I will fall victim to election season
just a slave to the system listening to know it's been to
break it down with the never ending wisdom thinking, what if
this country gave in to that Kanye vision? Yay. How you think
of worst directions to be driven? Driven Trump won. That
was such a break in tradition to make the decision to run away
from these lifelong politicians. I'm already getting so stressed
out in election season. Sometimes I wish I was sleeping
like the majority of this country, living in dimension B.
And I get so stressed out in election season, no doubt, going
off the deep end, it's torturing My screen. Time's up, even on
the weekend.
