John C Dvorak: Free biscuits free food for everyone. Adam
curry, John C. Dvorak.
Adam Curry: Sunday, August 4 2020. For this year award
winning give our nation media assassination episode 1683. This
Unknown: is no agenda
Adam Curry: bringing joy and chaos and broadcasting live from
the heart of the country here and FEMA Region number six in
the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
John C Dvorak: here from Northern Silicon Valley, where
I've concluded that Shannon Bream is no good. I'm John C.
Dvorak skill.
Adam Curry: Well, it's two women you don't like in a row on the
show. Who's the other one? Now? You said Kamala Harris is full
of crap.
John C Dvorak: She is.
Adam Curry: I'm just saying what's what did Shannon Bream
do?
John C Dvorak: Is this you know? I didn't really I kind of always
sensed this for a while but it's been getting worse from Fox. Is
Unknown: she from Fox? Yes. She's
John C Dvorak: the fox. He's a pretty blonde. She's She's 50
She looks 20 Good looking. well structured fade. good looking
girl. Period.
Adam Curry: What you said well structured babe, is that we said
that I hated that
John C Dvorak: race. overall structure face.
Adam Curry: That's better. Better well structured. Hey,
baby. You've got a well structured face. I'm gonna try
it tonight. I'm trying tonight. See how that works.
John C Dvorak: Oh, baby, no, no, as a compliment. You've got
somebody that to their face. Well, structured face baby is a
well structured fate. Well, first, I noticed that some time
ago when she said when when Trump got indicted by Fannie
Willis and then the New York and then all at once you get the you
know, 96 indictments all at once. And they're bitching about
as one of the shows that she was on? And she says, Oh, I don't
think that was coordinated.
Unknown: Really, there's no evidence
John C Dvorak: is coordinated, even though they had people
going in and out of the White House, the whole thing? So I
thought, well, that's kind of suspicious. Then I watched this
morning. She She does a show on Sunday. That is distributed on
all the fox stations. And she has a sidekick that comes on she
interviews this guy Chris Murphy, who's a Democrat. And
Chris Murphy says stuff like Yeah, well, you know, the the
immigration rates go way down since Trump because countless
done his fabulous job at the border. No pushback. And then
later in this show, she Oh, yeah. Okay, well, that's
interesting. But we have other numbers are those numbers are
wrong. Okay. So then it says he signs off. He says, Yeah, well,
you know, there's the difference is gonna be between Campbell and
Trump is Trump's gonna be the dictators on day one, day one.
And she she says nothing. And then she says that he's gonna
implement agenda 25 as she says nothing. It's like, okay, this
is bad. You know, I
Adam Curry: had a thought I had a thought this morning. I know,
as a standby, everybody had a thought. So all these cable news
channels, Fox, of course, clearly run by Democrats. I
mean, just look at the look at the
John C Dvorak: Murdoch. Kid kid the kid. Yeah.
Adam Curry: The reason why they're on the air is because of
the carriage fees. Right. Largely Well, I mean, that's,
that's the main, that's the main income. So say you have 60
million households. On cable net, that's probably low, but
let's just let's say 50 million, say 50 million. And you get one
buck for your channel. And I don't know do you think every
channel makes about a buck? I mean, cable is expensive these
days? You
John C Dvorak: know, I I know people that have these numbers.
I should probably look into it. If we have some real numbers.
Let's look
Adam Curry: into it. Because why couldn't the curry divorce
Communications Group? Why couldn't we start a cable
channel? Lobby Comcast lobby all these other guys. And and just
get a channel? And then you know, we'll we'll get somewhere
between 20 and $50 million a year. And we'll just pay a whole
bunch of podcasters. You know, we'll, we'll I'll turn the
camera on in that. Hey, will you turn the camera ugly? I'll turn
the camera on. You know, I'm sure we can get nick the rat to
turn the camera on. Darren O'Neill and we could just do the
no agenda stream. We could divvy it up. Everybody wins. Why not?
I mean, how hard can it be to launch a cable channel? In times
when everyone knows there's no reason to watch cable anymore.
John C Dvorak: Well, there's that we witnessed this whole
process with tech TV. Yeah, well and with span it was mostly they
had nothing but trouble getting people to carry because it was
Adam Curry: tokers, hey we have a whole network of producers As
I'm sure some of them will hike the skirt.
John C Dvorak: Well, I mean, MTV did it by saying, you know, I
want my MTV dad that whole idea. Yeah, jingle emerged. I want my
MTV.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, we can do that worked. Yeah, yeah, it's
doable. Let's do it. I think it's it's a possibility. I mean,
just why not? Why not? The cable companies are starved for for
reasons to keep people. I'm sure we could get someone to like
maybe Joe maybe Joe milk. Yeah, you know, I'll pick up an extra
couple mil from these boys. Don't you think? Well, if
John C Dvorak: you if you could get Joe Yeah, that would be that
would be hot because then you could do the whole thing. That
would be hot. Yeah, it'd be high. Yeah, it'd be great.
Adam Curry: I talked to Joe this morning.
John C Dvorak: Oh, that's where you to go in. Okay. Oh,
Adam Curry: no, no, no, I wasn't going there at all, just by
coincidence. Because what did Joe have to say? Well, we were
talking about his awesome special that he did last night.
Oh,
John C Dvorak: this was the live. Yeah, how was it? I didn't
get this. Oh,
Adam Curry: it's funny. It's funny in it. But you know, what
a standard is not bad. No, it's a great comic. The what is so
outstanding about is he did it live. And that most comedians
don't do that with their specials. They don't really want
to do something live. Because you know, you can sweeten it
later. You can drop the bits that didn't work best, which is
what they do. Yeah. Well, Joe didn't do they just went live
for like, an hour and 10 minutes. It was very, you want
to hear a little bit. There's a little bit here. I don't know if
you've probably seen this. You see this bit that's on?
John C Dvorak: I didn't Well, unless you did it before. I've
seen his old Act. Now this this is
Adam Curry: a bit from the special peer check has short,
Unknown: you know, it's just good to see everybody having a
good time. The country is almost back to normal before world war
three. COVID was just so strange. We lost a lot of people
during COVID and most of them are still alive
lot of people that I don't fuck
with anymore. Before COVID I would have told you that
vaccines are the most important invention in human history.
After COVID and like I don't think we went to the moon. think
Michelle Obama's got a dig. I think pence again is round. I
think there's
direct energy weapons and
honestly, I'm just kidding. I don't think Michelle Obama's
gonna dig but I believe all that other
Adam Curry: kind of almost projecting Bobcat Goldthwait
there for a second little bit of Sam Kinison. Maybe almost.
John C Dvorak: There was something. It was good. Yeah. He
was an energy. He's a little different than when I saw him
before. Yeah, he was. He was a little hyped.
Adam Curry: Yeah, he's an Are you kidding me the live show and
I can understand that. I can understand it. Yeah, well, okay.
And just think about it. I mean, we could also we could do music.
We could throw some value for value music up there.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, kinds of calculations. No big
Adam Curry: deal. Easy. Easy peasy. Yeah, it will be alright.
It's a deal. Let's do it. Okay. All right. Yeah. Does anyone
know how to start? Anybody out there. So I went to Frisco.
Friday, Friday night.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Frisco, Texas Frisco, Texas. Yes. And
for is that from you? Well,
Adam Curry: I flew. So it was an hour and 20 minutes. But it's if
you drive 9090
John C Dvorak: miles, 100 miles
Adam Curry: through the air? That's a good question. No, it's
more than that. Now, because we're doing about 190 miles an
hour. So it's much more than that. It's too far to drive a
five and a half hours to Dallas, basically. So after the podcast
in 2.0 podcast went over Gillespie airport, which is five
minutes from the House Beautiful. Edie the 28th to hold
these are the oh, wait
John C Dvorak: a minute, what? You should probably tell people
why you went to Frisco to that's,
Adam Curry: um, that's coming. That's coming after the ED part.
So I always have a Safety Pilot go with me, who was instructor
from the flight school where I rent the plane. It's also handy
because he'll bring the plane up from Bernie it's all gassed up
to all the annoying stuff. Yet We'll even handle the luggage.
It's 28 Now these kids are so young. And you know, so I'm
chatting with him and said so how long before we lose you
because I don't think I've flown more than three times with any
with any safety pilot because all these kids get sucked up by
the airlines. He says Ah, now it's gonna be a little longer
for me because they have over hired He says all of these
airlines mainly because they can't get any new planes. Now
spirit, and I think Alaska and he's like they've over hired
have over hired. So I just thought that was a little
interesting little tidbit. So we went up we were invited to
attend the closing gala evening of the citizens defending
freedom Conference, which is organized by the remnant
Alliance.
John C Dvorak: Do they defend freedom? Yes, most
Adam Curry: definitely. I would say that I went boots on the
ground inside the Christian nationalist movement was
amazing. So this conference was about 250, pastors, preachers
and priests. It was, and they had all these, I didn't go to
entity sessions, of course, but they went to all these sessions,
to motivate them to speak into the culture not avoided. And I
was kind of expecting, like a vote Trump thing. But it wasn't
that at all, actually. And about 30%, maybe about 30% of these
pastors were black. And yeah, that was, I thought that was,
yeah, it was more than representative of the
population, which was interesting. Speaking there were
Laura Logan, the neighbor, Michael G invite,
John C Dvorak: you know, I
Adam Curry: was invited by our pastor. But it's it's all it's
all the
John C Dvorak: Laura didn't invite you, Laura. She didn't
invite you. She
Adam Curry: would have budget new hours come in. Now. But you
know, and I have to talk to her. Because if you have Laura Logan,
and she's going to speak because she was speaker. What would you
want to hear from her? Stories? Yeah. What kind of stories about
what about what topic about working with in
John C Dvorak: the media and how collected is exactly? Yeah, of
course.
Adam Curry: No. Instead,
John C Dvorak: she has an event like that. You want to hear how
screwed up things? Yes, yes.
Yeah, of course.
Adam Curry: Instead, she talks about, about the child
trafficking. It was a super bummer. No, I don't like it. Oh,
wow. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: that would be that's a downer man, downer man,
lay man, that's a downer.
Adam Curry: But also, you know, I've done public speaking,
you've done public speaking. You want to speak about something
you're you're very familiar with that you're really good at, you
know, that you're that you're well versed in. So I don't know
how to approach it with her. But I think I need to just
John C Dvorak: say maybe she'll hear the podcast. No, she
doesn't listen to it. No,
Adam Curry: no, she just uses the name because he doesn't
listen to it.
John C Dvorak: That's right. Yes.
Adam Curry: She loves the name. And then also speaking was
Michael Flynn, who by the way, it's Lieutenant General Michael
Flynn. I didn't really realize that there was like, General
Flynn was Lieutenant General. Isn't that that's lower than a
general? Yeah, it's
John C Dvorak: lower. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Is that just like an executive, a senior vice
president to star? I have no idea of the stars work. And
yeah,
John C Dvorak: there's one, two and three and four. And the top
guy is, you know, the general. He's the real general. The other
guys are Lieutenant General. Oh,
Adam Curry: you could just be a two star general. I thought you
have Lieutenant Joe. You
John C Dvorak: could do that, too.
Adam Curry: So he's a two star general.
John C Dvorak: I well, I don't I can't say I'm a look. He could
be three. I don't know. So, in general, I'm sure someone will
tell us. Someone will tell. I'm not even gonna look it up
though. The chat room will tell us exactly how many stars
Lieutenant General has. And
Adam Curry: now he was there. He he and Laura they kind of
traveled together. They do a lot of speed. They do. Yeah, they
do. Well, her husband Joe used to work for Flynn. Oh, yeah.
DIA, these are all spooks. So So Joe comes over to our tastes.
Yeah. And he's very, very hyper. Come on, you got to say hello to
General Flynn. General Flynn. Come on. Come on, come on. Come
on. Come on. Come on. Come
Unknown: on. Come on.
John C Dvorak: Give shot like a cat occurred to
Adam Curry: anybody who knows Joe will be like, That's Joe.
That sounds exactly like Joe. Yeah. Okay. And we go over like
a picture a new picture. And you know, and Flynn is they're
basically just being inundated by people the whole time. You
know, taking pictures with him. Yeah. He's got what he does.
He's got his tuxedo on. And then we line up for a picture. And
John C Dvorak: then Joseph asked where Putin was looking around,
so that would,
Adam Curry: I mean, I barely had time to thank him for his
service. But Joe is like a General John Adam creep
headbangers ball, and Flynn looks at me uh huh. Excellent.
What headbangers ball. What? Of all the things Joe could have
said about me, it's like hey, headbangers ball look like,
okay, who's the lawyer? Because my suit on? And I think he's
there because well, now that I think about it, you know, two
movies were also being promoted. I think during the sessions. One
is the into the light, or out of the shadows, whatever it is.
That's the very controversial child trafficking movie. That's
probably why Laura was talking about that. And Flynn has a
there's a documentary about him, which is out. I haven't seen it.
But at the end, Charlie Kirk did the keynote. Yeah, he's the he's
the guy from turning point USA. Yes. Holy crap. That guy's
impressive. Yeah, he's
John C Dvorak: a good speaker. He's,
Adam Curry: like 32 or 3333. Very, very, very impressive guy.
I mean,
John C Dvorak: he's got he's got a high IQ and he's got a good
base, and he has good style. He's he knows where how to
speak. Oh,
Adam Curry: yeah. And he's a seven feet tall. I had no idea
like, well, you kind of told you. 10, you know, and again, it
was the whole and pretty much what you said. He was saying,
hey, Christians, you don't vote. She got to go out and vote. But
his main focus was on how churches fit it was kind of it
was cool, because
John C Dvorak: he's so Kirk picked up on the on the Trump
thing. It's interesting. He did. Yeah, he
Adam Curry: did. But he didn't say go out and vote for Trump.
He didn't say that.
John C Dvorak: Now, of course, you don't do that. I don't have
to. But what do you what? Why bother? You don't have to do
that. Yeah, come on. Hello.
Adam Curry: But what he what he was saying, and I liked you
know, you're so there's 250 pastors, priests and preachers,
and he's like, You guys failed during COVID. He said, You
really fail. You'd let them close your church. And it was
good. It was really impressive. So and then that was it. There
was nothing nothing really else. You know, it's not wasn't as
scary as I thought it would be.
John C Dvorak: They're gonna be scary. Oh, it was Christian. It
would be boring. Christian nationalists,
Adam Curry: man. Come on that that was them. That was the
Christian nationalist right there. And he people on stage
like, you know, people introducing people. I'm a proud
Christian nationalist, they can call me that if they want.
John C Dvorak: If he you know, that would work fine. I think
that would work as a as an intro. If you then pull the gun
out and shot in the eye. Now, it'd be the way
Adam Curry: to go. Everybody was packing. I'll tell you that.
That's for sure. A lot of guns, a lot of guns. A lot of pastors
with guns. Pretty funny.
John C Dvorak: Sounds like the event should have been called
pastors with guns. Anyway, that's you didn't really get
anything. You didn't get any real show materials that you got
to meet Flynn.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Well, that was that was that was the show. I
mean, other than I investigated the Christian nationalists, and
it was pretty, pretty tame, you know, was like, Hey, wake up,
people. Your churches are failing. I thought that was a
pretty, pretty good message. That was Charlie Kirk, if you
get a chance to see that guy talk. He's good. He's really
good. In fact, I was looking around and I got
John C Dvorak: used to it it did that debt conference. He does he
Adam Curry: does them all over the all over the country. Yeah,
like any
John C Dvorak: Turning Point conference that he did I have a
clip from it that I missed time. Oh, is it an old one I wanted to
play. Okay. It is or is it as you I got a big list
unfortunately, from
Adam Curry: today was an old one. It's
John C Dvorak: I picked it up since the last show. It's from
the turning point conference that Trump was at.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Okay, I gotcha.
John C Dvorak: And I just thought this was just something
I'd never I'd never considered it but I actually have
considered it but it was where's this man?
Adam Curry: Bro? Are you looking at is it on today's list he
John C Dvorak: has to do with yes should be get to do it.
Camelus it's a This is unbelievable. I kid you got
Adam Curry: a lot of y'all here it is the overclocked man.
John C Dvorak: I am over clipping they can't find OH WTF
Adam Curry: common was race? No.
John C Dvorak: I can't be no that's a good one. No, no,
Adam Curry: no, no, no, I don't want to I want to hear what you
have from turning point. Trump in Atlanta Trump force W's 47
Whatever that whatever that typo means.
John C Dvorak: Graham Lebanon Lebanon. You're failing. I am.
This is a complete Epic epic fail Oh, while you're
Adam Curry: looking for that I can play a little piece which
was from Charlie Kirk's podcast. And he had James Lindsay on
talking about her quote, unburdened by what has been
John C Dvorak: this is it I have it as unburdened explained,
people see, oh, okay,
Adam Curry: let me see if yours is longer. Mine is four seconds
longer. I don't want to play mine.
Unknown: The quote is that we can see what can be unburdened
by what has been, I
can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been, you
know, what can be unburdened by what has been what can be
unburdened by what has been that word
John C Dvorak: salad, or mine's longer because I don't have all
the bullshit in camera. Here's
Adam Curry: the short and it's only four seconds. Why, you
know, I'm
John C Dvorak: saying no, I don't have she, he just talks on
mine, he doesn't bring the cat that's four seconds
Adam Curry: is four seconds, then he goes back to talking.
John C Dvorak: You should the camera yak, yak yak is only four
seconds long. Yes.
Unknown: You know, what can be unburdened by what has been what
can be, or
by what has been that word salad or Marxism as Marxism that is,
in fact, not at all word salad. It's a Marxist incantation. As a
matter of fact, it's like a spell. So you can see the
possibility of a world that's unburdened from its own history,
which is exactly what Mao Zedong did, when he launched the
campaign of smash the four olds, the four old characteristics of
Chinese society, they were going to make a new China that was
going to be unburdened by what had been in the past of China.
This is what the Soviets the Bolsheviks did when they took
over power in Russia is that they were going to make the new
Russia they're gonna make the new man, as a matter of fact,
people could become unburdened by what had has been so that he
could see what could possibly be in the terms of a socialist
utopia. So when she says that, I assume given that her father was
a Marxist, I assume she knows what she's saying, and I don't
buy her idiot Valley speak. Stick one bit, I think she's far
more smart and far more savvy than conservatives have given
her credit for, and she is an outright Marxist. It is very,
very clear in her language. And that's what the Democrats want
to nominate for President right now, which is kind of
horrifying.
Adam Curry: I hadn't I had not even considered that until I
heard this.
John C Dvorak: Well, when I heard it fell into place,
because I've heard her to say also, she also paraphrases the
Marxist idea to each according to their needs, from each
according to their abilities. Yes, yeah. Well, now we got to
pay attention to that, which is what equity is all about. In
other words, your gift, so everyone comes out the same, so
they have to you need more, you get more. And if you have more
abilities to give more, you give more, which is a pure Marxist
thing. In other words, you don't you you know, if you're like
some moron that doesn't, or refuses to contribute to
society, but you need a lot of food because you're a big fat
guy. You have to you have to put up that
Adam Curry: yeah, or better than ozempic. But
John C Dvorak: she is definitely a Marxist. And I didn't know
that specific thing. Once she was he said, it was like, Oh,
yes, absolutely.
Adam Curry: Now we got to pay attention, although the coconut
thing has nothing to do with Marxist, it probably does.
Somewhere. There's some Marxist stuff in that coconut story.
John C Dvorak: Though she's a definitely a Marxist, a classic,
a classic Marxist, which we haven't seen for such a long
time that we can't recognize that this is the issue. And the
Democrats don't see it because they're, you know, they're all
they've been suckered into into believing all this stuff.
They've been suckered. They're dumb. The Democrats are down,
but I think we've established this in the show recently. Well,
Adam Curry: the campaign still seems to consist of zoom calls,
including Swifties for Kamala, which is coming up and deadheads
for Kamala.
John C Dvorak: I, the one I watched was the Jews for camel.
Oh,
Adam Curry: do you have any clips from it? No,
John C Dvorak: I'm not gonna take clips from it. There's just
a bunch of people fawning all over them. Oh, we got to beat
Trump and he's gonna be a dictator since day one.
Adam Curry: You know, I realized something I realized that you
know, like the Jew haters are mastodon. Yeah, they have a lot
in common with the with the the pro trans people who all hate
Jews too. They do. But yeah, they're all protesting bed.
queers for Palestine.
John C Dvorak: That's right. They queers for Palestine. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So these we got a boots on the ground from one of
our producers from Matt, he says. He sent he sent me a whole
bunch of links and screenshots. He says, This is bull crap that
they had fun. 50,000 or 200,000 people on a zoom call. He said
he did a setup for Tony Robbins in 2020. And it was actually
just a beta test to see how many participants they could get on
Zoom. And they so zoom gave him 300 participants who could
interact with Tony. But there are an additional 20,000
PARTICIPANT participants that are view only. And the only way
they could do it and you had these pictures, they had all
these Macs set up with a propriety proprietary system
called Canvas from some Canadian company immersive design
studios, otherwise, it's not possible. You can't the and he
had some amazing bandwidth brought into this place. He had,
he had four different providers pulling fiber into the studio
just for this event now as to get 20,000. So I think it's bowl
that what they have
John C Dvorak: is they they're lying. You think these Democrats
are lying to us?
Adam Curry: Quite possibly. I think what they're doing is they
have their celebrities on Zoom, and then they just stream it on
everything on x and, and YouTube. So it's, it's a point I
wanted to make. Good. Also, I wanted to say that I think
considering where the economy seems to be headed, it could
just be a blip on the radar. I don't know, I haven't listened
to the latest DH unplug. They may really want to give this to
Trump. And I would say Kamala is impossible danger at the DNC.
John C Dvorak: Well, this is I don't think so personally, his
day to day just elected or by the way over the phone over the
weekend. Yeah, I
Adam Curry: have I have a clip homeless, I can
John C Dvorak: play that. And then we can talk about her
danger
Unknown: tonight. Vice President Harris I'm making it nearly
official, the DNC saying she's won enough delegate votes to
secure the Democratic nomination in a virtual roll call and
knowing that we are excited about the future, but we also
know that we got a lot of work to get there. She's
expected to be named the nominee on Monday when she'll make
history as the first woman of color at the top of a major
party ticket. And tonight new details on her running mate
search NBC News reporting these six shortlist errs, and Vice
President will be taking in person meetings with finalists
over the years so
Adam Curry: they they I guess they did a zoom call. Why? They
say vertically should have just said they did a zoom call
Unknown: NBC News reporting these six shortlist errs, and
Vice President will be taking in person meetings with finalists
over the next 72 hours. top contenders include a
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro,
the Vice President has a deeply personal decision to make she
will make the right decision for her and for the country. Former
President Trump weighing in today,
I don't care, let them do whatever they still want to have
open borders. I think if you pick Shapiro who happens to be
Jewish, she loses her little Palestinian base.
Now Republicans note Harris never won a vote in a primary or
caucus. But Democrats point to record fundraising as evidence
of party. Harris raking in $310 million in July far outpacing
the Trump campaign.
Adam Curry: These are the same people always say what's the
what's the law that passed that that made corporations into
people? Citizens United?
Unknown: Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah, it's this just money us we got to get money out
of politics and now it's evidence that people love her.
John C Dvorak: That's an interesting I like that. That's
a good observation. I of course, we don't want to mention or even
suggest that this money is just being laundered as foreign money
through coming in from from China from who'd rather
Adam Curry: Karnes baby it's the Obama Chai calm scam for people
who
John C Dvorak: wants to know how this works. It goes to act blue,
they find a they start attaching names to
Adam Curry: the split the names up the mountain the money, and
they
John C Dvorak: split up the money. So it looks like real
individuals that are contributing and anyone who's
looked into it, they go to find these people and they find a lot
of them are dead. And they find these people and I don't donate
anything. It's a lot of old ladies and this is a massive
scam reported scam. It's and it's so obvious you can't get
that kind of money for somebody like Kamala Harris overnight in
five days. It just doesn't happen. This is foreign money
coming into the country to influence peddling money being
laundered by act blue. Yes. What it is, hey,
Adam Curry: by the way just to hammer home the point of the
economy. Everyone's talking about the shoots the Big Mac
Index, or the Big Mac Index. Oh is it Big Mac buying is down Bub
Have a I'd like to point out that our hair and hookers index
has predicted this way before any Big Mac index. And I think
it should be. It should be an indicator that is taken into
account. The no agenda hair and hookers index. hair product
sales down poker and poker prices down girls looking better
and men I guess for that matter.
John C Dvorak: Aaron hookers, I liked the term heroin hookers
index. HH, I
Adam Curry: bet we should have an HHI indicator tell Horowitz
to build one.
John C Dvorak: You can do it. He does those things.
Adam Curry: That's why I want you guys talking about the Big
Mac Index.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I don't know if we have or not. Okay.
Well,
Adam Curry: there it is. So, the oh, this was kind of funny. And
we know that Trump went on the, you know, did the interview with
the National Association of Black Journalists. His amazing I
didn't clip it, but my hatless and like he only stayed for half
an hour, and then his people pulled him out.
John C Dvorak: Now, right at the very beginning of the thing,
which the clip we played last show, yeah, he explains how that
works. That happened. And they they kept him from coming on
stage for a half hour, and then he had to leave. And then and
they blamed him. And then
Adam Curry: Kara and Scott were saying, you know, because
they're marketing geniuses, you should know. They should really
focus on his age that he's too old. He's too old. The very same
people that kept saying sharpest attack. The flip flop is
amazing. So on MSNBC, they had to, of course, combat this
because Trump knows what he's doing when he says Kamala is not
black blood are people making a big deal about his K Black. Oh,
that's racist the way he said black, black, black, is racist.
And, and we know that the black folks in America who most would
classify as American descendants of slavery, ie a DOS, they're
not going to fall for another Obama type trick. Because they
they know that they're going to get screwed in that deal.
Unless, of course, he selects Wes Moore as their vice
president, but that's not looking very realistic. So they
have to, of course, to black people, that Simone Sanders, who
used to run the campaign for Bernie Sanders, no relation,
and, and that Princeton professor, what's the guy's
name? Eddie Glaude. Oh, they have to go and discredit the A
das Americans. It's been about go,
Unknown: I tend to agree. So first of all, it's great to be
back on the weekend again, and see both of you. I think, I
think I think that's absolutely right. On a certain level, there
are those who call themselves eight us Americans of African
descendants of slavery. And they are questioning whether or not
she's black or not. And I think at the heart of that argument,
in the heart of what Donald Trump is doing is a basic
misunderstanding. Donald Trump is a little bit more sinister,
right? There's this understanding of race in the
United States that is very, that's very structured that has
goes back to the one drop rule. There's there's a conflation
here of racial hierarchy and ethnicity that's going on here.
In so many ways. I want to just say that this is a distraction.
And it reveals not only how insidious Donald Trump is, but
how dumb he is, this is a clown show on so many ways, and I
don't want the campaign to get caught up in it. I want the
campaign to continue to continue to pursue his message. We're not
going back, we're going forward. We don't want to go back to that
mess. But those of us who have to address it, we need to have
to address we need to address it with the seriousness of history
and the seriousness of our moment, I think, but I think
you're absolutely right, that he's trying to appeal to those
at those people some so he absolutely is.
Adam Curry: So first of all, don't send your kids to
Princeton. Second, he brings in the one drop rule, which is
total horse crap, and it comes
John C Dvorak: into play a Showboat. Oh, does it? Well, I
mean, that's where it was popularized.
Adam Curry: So the one drop rule, as I understand it, is if
you have one ancestor somewhere with one drop of white blood,
you're no longer black. So he's bringing colorism into it.
Whereas it's very obvious. Kamala Harris is not African
American. She's not an American descendant of slavery. And there
will there black people everywhere and I going on
television and trying to explain this with little success.
John C Dvorak: Let's go back to 2000 when Don Lemon still had a
show on CNN,
Adam Curry: ah, the good old days I missed I missed the dawn
Meister and he
John C Dvorak: was convinced that she was you know, she she
was not a das for sure. And it was like she doesn't count it
but she's black but so what even though it's now there's numbers
coming out showing that you know, even her dad was not even
fully black but
Adam Curry: It's not about color. The point is is beside
John C Dvorak: the point, but let's listen to Don Lemon go
after a black woman who's defending cameras being
American. He does when she's not a black woman. Okay.
Unknown: I agree with that. I
agree with that. But African American? No. But is she African
American? There's a difference. There's nothing wrong with that.
No one is trying to take anything
away from her to her lineage.
I think you're falling. I think you're falling into the trap.
All
she had to do was say, I am black. No,
I'm not African American.
That's it.
I'm not falling. Let me let me let me finish. Hold on. I'm not
falling into a trap by that.
Adam Curry: April Ryan.
John C Dvorak: I don't remember I think it is. When she
Unknown: goes down her lineage. Many Africans landed on in
Jamaica and all these other Caribbean islands. So she could
indeed make us not America. You can mix with others but she's
not
American. But she is a black woman. She
was born.
Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz.
This is not about Ted Cruz. You
cannot. It was hypocrisy. I'm not changing the subject. Yes.
Adam Curry: Cruz. April Ryan is a DOS American descendent of
stupidity. Jeez, crazy. Yeah. Well, remember the a DOS
Americans they were okay with Obama, who was Kenyan Hawaiian
call whatever you want. The Filipino what was he? Not
Kenyan? Indonesia was Kenya Indonesian. Well,
John C Dvorak: boy, he is Indonesian. Yeah. But invasion.
Yeah. Because he had to wait. The whole thing was sketchy.
Yeah, it
Adam Curry: was sketchy, but it was because of Michelle.
Michelle, a black American woman. Always got Michelle
that's okay. So called if Kamala wants to win anything with this
black vote nonsense. She has to have Westmore?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, that's not happening. It's a
fact that was already leaked.
Adam Curry: I don't actually I didn't see that as a leak.
John C Dvorak: I saw it as a scam of some sort. Do you have
you ever clip? It's just it's an ad with music. And it's not a
clippable. But it was an ad that came out of Pennsylvania
Philadelphia, I believe from the mayor of Philadelphia
congratulating Shapiro for being the vice presidential choice
really
Adam Curry: wasn't really congratulating him as well.
She'll be great with Shapiro. Well,
John C Dvorak: whatever it was, I think it was just a test dry
Ryan and maybe there could have been 200 of these dimes. We
don't know. But Shapiro still. And it's going to be sketchy
whether they pick strip Shapiro, as I pointed out in the
newsletter is the wrong. Do you have to give up Michigan if
you're going to take but Pennsylvania is more important
than Michigan? And I don't know what they're thinking. But
Cooper left so that ruins my thinking that was going to be
Cooper? He said No, I'm not going to do it. No. And, and I
think, what's her name? They're not going to run to women. I
don't care what anybody wants. Now
Adam Curry: Shapiro did cancel his his trip to the Hamptons,
days before the reveal on Tuesday. So I think
John C Dvorak: it's gonna be I still think Shapiro is still at
the leaderboard. He's the guy but it's going to really screw
up things because of the Palestinian supporters.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's no good. So you don't see I don't
know you don't think there's any that Vice yours for Harris.
John C Dvorak: Meet Up. Zoom calls seem to be jacked up about
Shapiro being the guy. Well, yeah, there Jews. Hello.
Adam Curry: You don't think there's any I mean, just just
thinking as as crazy people who want to assassinate candidates.
You don't think there's any that Kamala is in any danger?
John C Dvorak: A big assassinated?
Unknown: Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Was it last time? Since Kennedy? Did anyone even
took a shot at a Democrat? It's
Adam Curry: a cycle.
John C Dvorak: I don't know. Well, I mean, there was now if
you haven't noticed, this is in the news. If you give you're
keeping track if you keep score, no, I'm too big. All of a
sudden, I don't have a clip and I shouldn't I was thinking about
getting this clip. I didn't get it. All of a sudden that because
they're investigating the Secret Service. Now they've gone back
to the pipe bombs in January. So yes, I did. They came out with a
report saying oh, these pipe bombs. Those explained it we're
blaming the Secret Service for leaving the pipe bombs there.
And then in the in the exposition of this discussion of
the pipe bombs, they keep saying and one of the pipe there was a
pipe bomb at the RNC and there's a pipe bomb at the DNC and
Camela walked right past the pipe bomb Vice President walked
right past the pipe bomb and she could have been exploded. And
I'm thinking why is this all of a sudden being discussed as
anything? Why is it in the new report? So this was maybe a shot
across the bow Out of warn her or warn everyone that yeah we
can blow you up I don't know
Adam Curry: put her on equal footing that's I have I did
notice that I didn't get any clips I did see articles about
it that's interesting well yeah it's
John C Dvorak: out of the blue out of the blue just out of the
blue boom we're talking about the pipe bombs now whoo
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah because that was hushed up like don't
talk about the pipe bomb. Don't talk about pipe bomb.
John C Dvorak: Disappeared.
Adam Curry: Let me just do a quick headline. Let me just do a
quick Google News scan. Let me see what they say. Kamala pipe
pipe bomb pipe bombs. This will get me on a list.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it'll be on a list. Go go use Duck Duck go
too late.
Adam Curry: So listen to this. ABC News New DHS Watchdog Report
details how close Kamala Harris came to viable pipe bomb. Let me
see is any other mainstream? The Times Kamala Harris came within
20 feet of pipe bomb at Capitol riot which is a little
disingenuous
Unknown: put all right MSN
Adam Curry: Campbell hearts Okay, that's came within 20 feet
of pipe bomb January 6, if anything, okay, how about this?
Because they're connecting the pipe bomb to January 6. So how
about some kind of attempt that we can pan on Republicans and
attack attempt I'm not saying that it was that it will be
successful but an attempt because there's a lot of
connection to January. In fact, everyone's connecting to January
6. House Pat. Oh, this is this was March. Mmm
Unknown: hmm.
Adam Curry: Oh, we got to keep our eye on this
John C Dvorak: sentence up. I mean, they're trying to you
know, since Trump did get shot with a bullet they finally
admitted it. Yeah, I have. They're trying to balance it a
little bit. Well, you know, Trump got shot so what she would
have been glowed up.
Adam Curry: Here's the latest about the Secret Service agents
and the local cops tonight the
Unknown: Secret Service acknowledging that their agents
could not hear radio traffic. In the moments as local police
desperately tried to find a man who would soon attempt to
assassinate former president
when I snap pops. There was really a big sense of urgency
going on and the state and locals were doing everything
they possibly could to try to find the assailant.
In fact, the Secret Service had no personnel and a key command
post with a radio traffic about shooter Thomas Matthew crooks
was being listened to. There
was clearly radio transmissions that may have happened on that
local radio net that we did not have
acting Secret Service Director Ronald ROH holding a rare press
conference today. And while he continued to express concerns,
the local police may have had a vantage point to clearly see the
shooter on the roof with a rifle. He again laid the blame
for the overall failures squarely at the feet of his
agency.
And no way should any state or local agency supporting us in
Butler on July 13 be held responsible for our Secret
Service failure.
And with this blunt assessment as we approach the Democratic
National Convention, the director warning that we're in a
quote, unprecedented threat environment
Adam Curry: unprecedented threat environment, we of course have
the best producers in the universe. And I have a boots on
the ground from the night of the thin blue line. He says I've
many insights in the ways of American law enforcement I have
some first hand insight as to how local law enforcement
officers and the United States Secret Service coordinate VIP
visits. I have worked several presidential visits to my city.
Do we have the best producers or what? So like George
Stephanopoulos says, Hey, one of our producers here happen to be
you know, beyond detail with many presidents and as they
know, the most recent event was when Trump visited my city for
the state convention in 2023. Prior to the event, all
personnel were advised of mandatory overtime all days off
or canceled all hands on deck for the 300 ish sworn personnel.
Prior to the start of the day, we local cops attended a
detailed briefing to go over the written operational plan, then
included assignments and posting security zones etc. everyone in
attendance was required to sign the operational plan. And he
puts in parentheses where's the Philadelphia operational plan
that would put to rest who was responsible. Most importantly,
it included how to communicate any security issues up the chain
of command. So the United States Secret Service agent embedded
with our commanders could relay information to Secret Service
personnel on the VIP detail. My post was the highest rooftop
directly across the street from the event venue. It was a black
roof eight storeys high in June in the southeast. It was hot We
didn't just decide to be more comfortable and sit in an air
conditioned room on the eighth floor of the building instead.
Our department's motorcycle squad did the Escort from the
airport to the venue when Trump was about three miles out. We
were ordered to land all. All drone or UAV assets. No drones
were able to fly even police drones. Finally, when Trump left
his motorcade to go inside, there were no fumbling and
bumbling dei hires who couldn't find their holster. The detail
was mostly men who all looked like badass operators in nice
suits who could handle business. Like our dude thin the night of
the thin blue line, that's how it's supposed to go. It doesn't
sound like anyone had an operational plan they signed off
on what did
John C Dvorak: I understand that they'd ever had an operational
plan that they didn't the coordination between the locals
and the and the Secret Service was the deal. They were bitching
about it new, like a like a soccer game. Yeah, noodle mill.
Adam Curry: So when you hear that, that there was definite
lines of communication in this event? This story sounds weird.
Unknown: Tonight, a stunning new admission from the Secret
Service.
It was so apparent to me that in this incident, in the final 30
seconds, there was clearly radio transmissions that may have
happened on that local radio net that we did not have.
Look what happened.
And the seconds before a gunman opened fire on former President
Trump. Local police sounded the alarm over their radios that a
gunman was on the roof. Only the Secret Service didn't get that
message. This is going to drive our operations going forward.
Ronald RO, the new Acting Director of the Secret Service
taking questions from reporters today. At the first press
conference since the July 13. Rally press by NBC News as to
why Secret Service agents didn't know local police were
communicating about the shooter row explained we had
our security room and then they had a unified command post. We
have to rethink how we you know, where we put our security
rooms and local and federal law enforcement who have worked with
Secret Service tell NBC News this type of coordination is
critical. How important is it for sort of service and local
law enforcement to be together physically during an event is
extremely vital so
you have no communication gaps between the agencies.
Today's revelations coming just days after row fell under sharp
scrutiny from senators that demanded more answers. He
promised the agency is doing a full review and will discipline
or fire agents who should be held accountable. And tonight
the coroner's report obtained by our Pittsburgh affiliate WP exci
confirms crooks was killed by a gunshot to the head. Oh,
Adam Curry: thanks, Captain Obvious. No, there you go. So
that smells bad.
John C Dvorak: Well, like I said they're blaming this guy row is
just as as responsible as the Cheadle woman as he shot he
should go yeah effect he should quit. I
Adam Curry: have two more Kamala clips on if you have any more
but like the one.
John C Dvorak: I just want to play this one first. Okay, which
is one of the one of my weird clips. Okay, WTF clip is the WTF
clip
Unknown: earlier this week speaking to a gathering of Black
Journalists, former President Donald Trump questioned vice
president Kamala Harris's racial identity.
And now she wants to be known as black. So
I don't know. Is she Indian? Or is she black?
She is always a black college.
I respect either one. But she obviously doesn't
John C Dvorak: know, in there that we played this clip before
in this entirety. Yes. The the journalist from ABC says she's
always identified as a black woman, which is a blatant lie.
That's not true. We have plenty of clips of Kamala identifying
as an as a South Asian woman over and over and over again.
They had specials on her done with other Indians and she was
the South Bay. So that's bullcrap. So she does ABC
reporter who was very hostile. I agree. Yes. We just lie right
there.
Adam Curry: Well, the Kamala is was so all in on your Indian
heritage. She should be running Google. I mean, seriously, there
was just a continuous or more Microsoft or any big tech
company for that matter. This is who is this? This is conserve
the culture founder, and an activist Makayla Montgomery. A
Unknown: few days ago, President Trump said he didn't know vice
president Harris was a black woman. I'm trying to figure out
what all the outrage is about because he's the only black when
it's time to get elected. She's very good.
John C Dvorak: He did you see he brought her on a second time.
Go. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's got he's got a gold mine and this
one. She's skeptical.
Unknown: It is good
the same black people who are mad at Trump for being confused
about her race, ethnicity, nationality, whatever, are
seemingly forgetting that while you're touting her as the Savior
for black people, she identifies as an Asian woman. She chose her
side and it wasn't ours. When asked if she would ever do
anything specifically for black people, she said no. Whereas
Trump gave us the platinum plan. Lifted the black community by
increasing capital by almost $500 billion, creating 500,000
new black businesses and would give black churches the ability
to fight for federal resources for their communities.
Adam Curry: Now there's, there's another thing in there that I
learned from the OFAC show that in the workplace, most a Das,
I'm just going to make it very clear, are severely
discriminated against by Asians, ie Indians, particularly in the
tech sector.
John C Dvorak: Oh, that's interesting. I can see that she
Adam Curry: was like to a severe degree. And when the whole Floyd
thing came around with all these, all of a sudden, then all
these Silicon Valley companies, you know, these tech companies
like, Hey, you're black once you come to the meeting and tell
everybody how you feel. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Well,
of course, there's a lot of classist issues in general.
Yeah. I always
John C Dvorak: had that with brought with Indians. Because
only ones that are over here, really, to any extreme or
Brahmins. Yeah. And they're very classic, classist, and they
wonder,
Adam Curry: the ones that listen to no agenda.
John C Dvorak: No, even even our Brahmins, there's no question
about it. But there's just they just happened to be up to date
with things a little better. But Indians is from my sources. The
Indian contingents in the United States are just baffled
Brahmins. They're baffled by why we don't have a class structure
doesn't make sense to them. We do. We got Puerto Rico, but not
in any any rigid ways. Not like, I mean, the Brahmin, you're the
one you're the one that touchable is the other end of
the spectrum is very rigid. You're you're
Adam Curry: promoting favelas. I mean, come on.
John C Dvorak: We're very classist. Well, promoting
favelas is different. Okay. It's a housing. That's a practical
solution to
Adam Curry: a problem the housing price housing program.
John C Dvorak: By the way that comes up with the there's nobody
has been able to debate my favorite in fact, JC buzzkill
Jr, he likes to always cite the he sees urban analysis of
authors, including one famous woman whose name is eluding me.
They're really kind of there's there's an undercurrent in terms
of urban development and urban theory that favelas are not a
bad idea.
Adam Curry: Well, if I could, if I could add to it, I think we
should do the American version of a favela. You've already
picked the spot is that hill overlooking San Francisco? It's
John C Dvorak: on the other side. Actually. It's on this
one. This is South San Francisco. It's on the site. It
overlooks the peninsula really not so much.
Adam Curry: Is it a nice view, though? Oh, it's dynamite
killer. Well, then, instead of you know, the shanty towns, it
just dropped a whole bunch of federally funded to tiny homes,
then you kind of have like the community
John C Dvorak: first village, this this is this I had to argue
against this sort of thinking, no, why no reason. Because then
all of a sudden you're gonna have regulations and zoning. You
cannot allow the government involved but there's but there's
Adam Curry: where it's working in Austin community first
village, there's no regulation, the government's not involved.
So just have the tech guys. But
John C Dvorak: it's not in in any way. A shanty town know that
where people are building their own stuff, and they're just
introducing, regulating regulation is the key to this.
Adam Curry: Okay. All right. Can we can we make wood available?
John C Dvorak: Most people can find wood. Okay, but yeah, it'd
be nice to do you do what they used to do with remember the
riots that used to take place during the Floyd and don't brick
and Tifa here. That's where you'd go. You'd go around the
corner and there'd be a load of bricks. Yeah. That somebody left
there so they could throw the bricks at the cops. Yeah, yeah.
No one ever knew where these bricks came from those guys yeah
drop some wood and bring those guys back and have dropped
bricks and wood in there yeah sure you could do that.
Adam Curry: I still I'm not against your idea at all i
John C Dvorak: i see it as argue against but
Adam Curry: still the land has to be made available by the
government so they have to nest the B City Council
John C Dvorak: it says fallow it's sitting up there right now
there's not being used for it. So for this set for this signage
it says South San Francisco that can be removed I'll leave it
there leave it up put it put lights or you can use it to
build part of the house.
Adam Curry: put lights on it so people can see it from from from
the from down below.
John C Dvorak: Meanwhile, by the way that where the Hollywood
sign is in LA now the perfect spot Yeah,
Adam Curry: it was a great spot. The Sonya Massey. Killing is
gaining steam ahead of the convention in Chicago.
Unknown: It's been about two weeks since the body camera
footage of 36 year old Sonya Massey being fatally shot by
sheriff's deputy was released to the public.
All too often, black Americans face fear for their safety in
ways many of the rest of us do not on July
6 Massey was shot and killed by former deputy Sean Grayson
inside her home in Springfield, Illinois. This happened after
police say she called 911 To report a prowler in her
neighborhood. Grayson has since been fired from his job and
charged with her murder. He's pleaded not guilty to all
charges while the Sangamon County Sheriff's Department has
spoken out against the shooting, saying it does not reflect their
values and training. Here at home activists are calling for
justice and change any
improved since the killing of George Floyd and 2020. Pastor
George Floyd Bill organisers
held a peaceful protests outside Chicago police headquarters
calling for the passing of the George Floyd justice and
policing Act. The bill increases accountability for law
enforcement misconduct.
Adam Curry: By the way, I see. Yes, yes.
John C Dvorak: So the guy was a rat kicked off his job. charged
with murder. Yes, no justice. And he's, he's charged. They've
arrested him for murder, which is what was appropriate, and
they want him to do what what more do they want to torture
him? Right? No,
Adam Curry: no, they want the George Floyd Act signed, which
was
John C Dvorak: going to accomplish that their normal
justice system that already arrested the guy for murder.
What's what's what's, what needs to be done? I'm not getting
this.
Adam Curry: That's a very good question. Let me see what the
st. Floyd Act includes.
John C Dvorak: They want to police officers accountable.
That guy has been arrested for murder Hello. The
Adam Curry: bill enhances enforcement mechanisms to remedy
violations by law enforcement. Among other things does the
following lowers the criminal criminal intent standard from
willful to knowing or reckless to convict a law enforcement
officer misconduct in federal prosecution limits qualified
immunity as a defense to liability in a private civil
action against law enforcement officer and grants
administrative subpoena power to the Department of Justice in
pattern or practice investigations? That's probably
the big one right there.
John C Dvorak: So it's got nothing to do with this case.
The guy's been arrested for murder. I will say this is all
specious. This is all this is all designed. It's it's PR.
Well, it's more in PR. It's trying to handcuff the police.
Yes.
Adam Curry: Was PR. I will say I saw the second body cam footage
and I'm not saying that this cop did the right thing. But the the
woman when she she threw the boiling water was throwing the
boiling water at the COP and that's when he shot not saying
that that was the right thing to do. But no one saw that. Did you
even know it? No,
John C Dvorak: I did not know this because there's there's two
bodies. My understanding since you saw that I didn't my
understanding was that she threat just threatened to do it
and never did. Yeah, the way it was presented to me Yeah, no,
Adam Curry: you actually see the water being thrown. But I didn't
know if was boiling. I don't know any of that. But it doesn't
matter because it was not not good. Anyway, I really do you
have anything else on Trump or anything? Because there's not
much going on right now. I mean, just the same old same old
everyone's forgotten that he almost got killed. That doesn't
seem to be a thing anymore. I
John C Dvorak: have a I have two series on on Trump one is their
clock one. That one of them is they're trying to pin something
on him to kind of like soften the blow the Biden you know,
obvious corruption and graft. So they've come up with this bull
crap. This is Carol land. Then, on the Trump bribe
Adam Curry: Carol, who is she? Carol Lennox, Lennox or Lenin?
Oh, it's
John C Dvorak: says she's introduced. I'm
Unknown: pretty sure. And Carol, I want to ask you because you
have a new exclusive out about a secret investigation into
whether Donald Trump response ties from the long
Adam Curry: clip man.
John C Dvorak: She Yeah, I'm sorry. She is a reporter for The
Washington Post. She's implying that Trump was given a bribe in
cash from
Adam Curry: Egypt. Is that the thing? Yeah,
Unknown: yeah, yeah. Okay, Tim, President Abdel Fatah, LCC, a
legend. And allegedly, the legend walk us through exactly
how did $10 million possibly get from the Government of Egypt to
then President Elect Donald Trump?
What happened and what was jaw dropping jaw dropping US
government? Investigators, federal prosecutors FBI agents
was the CIA in early 2017 alerted the Department of
Justice, that they had credible intelligence from an informant
and corroborated by additional intelligence gathering, that LCC
had plans in late 2016, to basically inject or illegally
give $10 million to Donald Trump's reelection efforts.
Essentially, he wanted to help Donald Trump get elected and he
was going to do this with $10 million. Under the table.
investigators looked and looked and looked to figure out if this
intelligence was true, could they figure out was this money
ever spirited to Donald Trump? Did he have spirited?
Adam Curry: Why would you use that term? spirited? That's
interesting.
Unknown: Spirited intelligence was true. Could they figure out
was this money ever spirited to Donald Trump? Did he in their
words accept a bribe? But the problem was, although they found
a debate, Tyro bank had made a bizarre withdrawal of cash
exactly matching the intelligence $10 million pulled
out of essentially the Egyptian CIA's account, just as the
intelligence suggested they found this withdrawal of cash
stuffed into duffel bags, five days before Donald Trump became
president. But the problem for investigators in the United
States was they wanted to get Donald Trump's records his bank
records to determine did that money from Cairo that was so
suspicious $10 million in US bills, did it land in Donald
Trump's accounts? And the US attorney and basically said no,
I'm not going to let you subpoena those records. You
don't have enough evidence to do that. And Bill Barr, the
attorney general at the time he killed very suspicious of this
request to subpoena for records and express doubts about whether
or not this case was justified. In the end, the prosecutors and
the FBI agents threw up their hands they said they couldn't do
this investigation without getting that information. And
they were despondent because they felt they had a lot of
evidence suggesting this could be true they had to find out if
it was and they were never allowed to do that. So
Adam Curry: in in the world in which we live where the media
believes that they are the ones that choose our presidents this
would be a smokescreen for the ACT blue shenanigans going on
with his 200 million for Harris
John C Dvorak: right it also drives takes away from the guy
that democratic just yeah quit become a gold bar man a gold bar
Bob gold bar ba why why is this definitely a smokescreen and it
here's a couple of things that should be noted the CIA can look
at anybody's bank account they would have seen this they didn't
need to really do any of this this was both This is bull crap
this is the same as the 51 CIA guys who intelligence experts
who said well yeah the laptops bull crap even though the effort
right there from recession Russian disinformation and the
Russian Is that true so the whole this is this is a bogus
story,
Adam Curry: but why is the why use the term spirited I look at
the definition I don't see how you can connect. Transferring
money to spirited unless it's
John C Dvorak: like I spirited is a term you would use in
writing to imply sneaking it you spiriting it off you're sneaking
it
Adam Curry: like a go like a ghost. Okay, gotcha.
John C Dvorak: So I think is a good use of the word I would
never do use it myself. But I think that's what she's trying
to get. She's trying to get the image in your brain that she
just goes like, go be ready. Druce Yes. Okay, got it. Got it.
Part two.
Unknown: It's pretty stunning, Carol. I mean, Egypt has been in
Adam Curry: let me step away for the enthusiasm. Yeah, that's
pretty stunning, Carol. Yeah, that's
Unknown: pretty stunning. and Carol, I mean, Egypt has been in
the news a lot lately, namely because Democratic Senator Bob
Menendez was convicted just last Oh, of acting as a foreign agent
for Egypt. Is there a possible pattern here? Egypt's efforts in
trying to influence us politicians?
The key linchpin in all of this, Laura Wow. So
Adam Curry: they have, they can't really do Russia anymore.
So we're gonna do Egypt now. Now, Egypt, the brothers
John C Dvorak: also this this element we noticed earlier in
the show with the pipe bomb is that we have to have a balancing
act, the Democrats, Democrats did this. Take a shot at Trump.
Yeah. So we added all that somehow. Now the Republicans who
even though we don't have any evidence whatsoever, let's just
dream up a story and make it so as he admitted Menendez disowned
of Trump. Oh, it was taking a bribe and $10 million bribe.
Meanwhile, of course, they act blue thing, like you said, is
hundreds of millions but okay, the
Unknown: key linchpin in all of this, Laura is again, Egypt's
general intelligence agency, essentially, LCC CIA. This is an
important spy network that CC has relied upon to pressure and
push for his agenda abroad.
Adam Curry: Oh, wait, this this also this has a secondary
benefit, because we know that Egypt won't taking any
Palestinians. So let's make those guys look stupid.
Unknown: Possibly, yeah, especially
in the United States. What what Menendez is bribery conviction
and trial showed was the general intelligence services top
officials were reaching out and making friends with Menendez and
trying to steer him to push specific things that were
important to see see on the world stage. They went so far as
Menendez actually giving them some important information that
was pretty sensitive about employees of our government who
are in Egypt, which was pretty sensitive information. And it
went so far that he took a lot of money from people who are
operating at each IPS bidding, and he was accused of being a
foreign agent of that country. The general intelligence service
once again, CC's CIA was the entity that the US Intelligence
said would be used to spirit this money to Donald Trump. And
the general intelligence service account is where that bizarre
$10 million cash withdrawal came from.
Carolyn egg of The Washington Post, thank you for your time.
Riveting,
Adam Curry: riveting. Riveting riveting. Carol, thanks. So
John C Dvorak: that's just a smear, smear. Just same. smears
didn't go spirited, schmeer schmeer, it was a schmear in the
Jewish sense. I have two other ones. I got Trump in Atlanta and
NPR clip.
Unknown: Former President Donald Trump held a rally in the
battleground state of Georgia today is NPR Stephen Fowler
reports the state has a new significance in the presidential
race. Trump's
packed rally had the same crowd size and energy as vice
president Harris's rally days earlier. Exactly the same exact
same venue,
John C Dvorak: by the way, stop stop is that even though the
Democrats had to bring in two homeless, they bust them in and
pay people money to show up at the Harris campaign and then
brought a Torker in a hip hop artist. Megan came from there,
Megan, the stallion, Megan, the stallion. And they did that. And
it was like the same. Exactly the same. Okay.
Adam Curry: Also news guy on on the tiktoks he was he was
showing crowds waiting in line for a Harris event and it was
all AI it was all you know, people really see the people
holding up signs with their hands going through the sign
and, and very, very weird things like yeah, that doesn't really
look authentic brah there's, those
Unknown: campaigns are paying attention to the Peach State.
It's one of several newly competitive states now that
Harris is in the race.
And we can't let that happen. Because if we lose Georgia, we
lose all thing and our country goes to hell, because we can't
have her be President of the United States. She's grossly
incompetent.
Both Trump and Harris have launched multimillion dollar ad
buys across seven battleground states that will decide who wins
in November. Stephen Fowler, NPR news, Atlanta.
Adam Curry: I'm noticing this flaw in in the Trump campaign.
And I really started to pay attention to it when he said at
the end, a BJ BJ interview, that their whole campaign was geared
towards Joe Biden, and that they really weren't prepared for
Harris and I can't understand why he hasn't called her
cackling camera. yet. I mean, it's so obvious. He needs a name
like lion Camela. No cackling camera that that is I think
that's persuasive. This
John C Dvorak: has come. This has come up this has come up in
the conversation if you listen to enough of these resources,
which is the dead the Trump campaign, supposedly I don't I'm
not buying this completely, that the Trump campaign was flat
footed. When Biden bailed? I wouldn't say that. And they
don't they're still strategizing, what to do. And
Trump's kind of ad libbing. That's where he that thing about
the Indian heritage kind of came out even though it seems like a
plot to me it seems like he was he schemed that but they're
making it sound as though he just made it up on the fly,
which he doesn't do that much of he practices his bits. Yes, he's
maybe test your right cackling camera would be a lot better,
because it does give you an image or
Adam Curry: calm communist Camela. I mean, you can do a lot
of things, a lot of alliteration opportunities.
John C Dvorak: It's only been a week or so. So give him a little
time. All right.
Adam Curry: Well, there's another thing I feel they're not
prepared for. And this is a it's a it's a risky move, but no
agenda shop may want to may want to think about it. No
John C Dvorak: agenda shop.com.com.
Adam Curry: So all of Trumps merchandise, has 4547 on it.
This is very, very risky. Because he may have to make it
48 If Joe dies, and Kamala becomes the 46 the 47 president,
his merch will be no good.
John C Dvorak: Wow. So that is about as obscure. A concept as
I've heard. Thank you. So good. No, it makes it collectible.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, yes. But being ready and having Trump 48
Would you'd be you'd be ahead of everybody.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the problem with that is that if that guy if
like somebody leaked a 48 out there, that would mean he's not
quitting. He's staying in office, you know, or some some
scam ish thing they would come up with? Would that is an
interesting point. Yes. He would have to change it to 4548.
Adam Curry: Yes. Or just 48 or just 48? Yeah, just a thought.
Just a thought.
John C Dvorak: Well, anything can happen. If you saw the one
clip which I reposted on Twitter. I use Twitter. Yes.
I've seen you with this one clip that's floating around. It's
It's It's Biden at the at the meeting with the hostage
exchange. And he wanders off as it's want to do. He's wanders
off and wanders onto another plane and just goes in. Well, do
you see this? Yes,
Adam Curry: I did. Well, I want to say a couple of things about
it. Because this was the the airplane that brought the
Russian prisoners in the prisoner swap, which we can
certainly talk about. The White House has come up with a
statement so he walked up the stairs and I mean, certainly the
way it was positioned that the clip the way Kamala was looking
at him doing what he doing. I mean, it was almost like Hey,
Joe, Joe, Joe would come back.
John C Dvorak: He wondered it was but it was one of those
wandering off things like he did in the in Europe when he
wandered off to the wrong guy who, you know, De Beers.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, what the White House has come out with a
statement. The interlude for Biden lasted two minutes. The
President was out of view for about a minute and 40 seconds.
President Biden wanted to personally thank the flight
crew, who brought these brave injured individuals home to
their families. White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew
Bates sold the Daily Mail. Now, that is already barely
believable. But you can see that he walks up the stairs and turns
right, he doesn't turn left towards the flight crew unless
you want to thank those.
John C Dvorak: I do recall him he looks like he turned right. I
want the best excuses. He had to go to the bathroom.
Adam Curry: That would have been good. That would have been
better.
John C Dvorak: It would have been more logical.
Adam Curry: According to tinfoil hat in the troll room, the
flight crew is actually on the tarmac next to the plane. Well,
that makes it even funnier. Let me just talk about this for a
second because this deal. Let me see. Alright, so here's the CBS
and by the way that overshadowed the deal itself. You know,
everyone's like, Oh, look at that guy. But more. Everyone's
very distracted by that. Not at all talking about the deal.
Unknown: Marine veteran Paul Whelan was the first former As
an urge to step back onto us soil, immediately welcomed home
by President Biden and vice president Harris. Wall Street
Journal reporter Evan Gersh. KOVITCH soon followed, embracing
his mother on the tarmac and journalist also commercial law
who could not wait to see her daughter's. To me.
This is about the essence of who we are as a country. It really
is about personal relationships about families, Whelan's
family played a critical role securing his release. They were
disappointed when he was not part of the last prisoner swap
with Moscow that freed WNBA star Brittney Griner and former US
Marine Trevor Reed
sometimes some harsh words with the government having to keep
them accountable for taking care of us. But in the end, you know,
here I am.
At least five Americans remain imprisoned in Russia, including
61 year old Mark Fogle, a teacher from Pennsylvania. Two
years ago, Fogle was sentenced to 14 years and a penal colony
for possessing medical marijuana. In his statement to
CBS News, his family said we are completely heartbroken and
outraged that Mark has been left behind while the US government
brought other Americans home. President Biden vowed to fight
for
Fogle. We're not given up or we're not given up on that
the agreement led to the release of 24 prisoners by seven
different countries. Among the fried Russians, a convicted
murderer, several spies and hackers on CBS mornings National
Security Adviser Jake Sullivan justified the trade.
At the end of the day, the President looked at this deal.
And he said what we are getting the value of human life, the
value of families back together, the value of standing up for
freedom of the press far exceeds what we are giving up by sending
a few more criminals back to Russia, right. So
Adam Curry: the American media was completely useless on giving
us any details or really how the deal fit together. I went to the
European media, France 24 and Deutsche Avella. And first of
all, I mean, just considering the swap. I would say the
Washington Post guy probably was a spook he probably was spying
there. That's what he was arrested for. And that's why
they wanted him back. That's just my feeling. I have nothing
to base that I feel the same way. And here's the here's the
sister of the Fogle guy.
Unknown: It was a long awaited reunion for the freed American
prisoners and their loved ones. For the families of those still
being held in Russian prisons. It's also a huge disappointment.
American Mark Fogle was not part of the exchange on the first of
August.
It's bittersweet that Mark they left Mark behind they just
that's that's what happened. And they they preferred other people
over him.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, we want something valuable is to this.
What is valuable is human life, says, Jake, as human life except
yours, you're less less valuable. Deutsch Avila actually
had some details, which I appreciated.
Unknown: So what do we know about the size and scale of this
deal? Well, this was the largest prisoner swap in the post Soviet
era and it took place in Turkey, the US, Russia and others
exchange 24 prisoners and two children. 10 people have been
moved to Russia for 16 Western and Russian nationals. Now
perhaps the most well known of them is Wall Street Journal
reporter Evan Gursky vich he was detained in Russia on spying
charges in March of last year. German national Rico Kay who was
sentenced to death in Bella rousse on terrorism charges is
also among those freed as is Vadim grassy cough, a Russian
who was convicted of the 2019 murder of a former church and
Millicent in Berlin. While speaking about the exchange, US
President Joe Biden paid particular tribute to German
leader Olaf Schultz are particularly
great sense of gratitude to the chancellor. The demands are
making a may require me to get some significant concessions
from Germany, which they originally concluded they could
not do because of the personal question. But everybody stepped
up, Paul stepped up so he stepped up Turkey stepped up.
And it matters to have relationships really does.
Adam Curry: So that was a lot going on on this deal that we
really don't know about.
John C Dvorak: But I do want to mention some of the it's kind of
amusing, which is the two children that were the kids of
one of the spies that went back to Russia. were completely
unaware that they're Russian wandering Who the hell this
Putin guy
Adam Curry: was? Why are we on this plane going to Moscow? Why
are we on this
John C Dvorak: plane going to mind? They don't speak Russian.
Wow. And they were completely befuddled the stories about the
two kids being what happened to us is apparently hilarious.
Adam Curry: Yeah, so I guess this is part PR, because it's
the WaPo is a journalist and oil journalist.
John C Dvorak: You know, I always wonder how leaky The CIA
is when it comes to these guys. Ever since the entire Chinese,
you know, infrastructure of American spy agents in China
that were that were all arrested and shot? Yeah, because of a one
one counter agent that was working for the CIA, given the
names away. If this you know, it's like every spoken in Russia
is not identified already. Yeah. There's just keeping an eye on I
mean, they arrested that one guy for for whatever reason,
Adam Curry: because here's the thing. They didn't if this if
this was a PR move, they didn't do it right. Now is the is the
is the guy in the morning shows as you're doing interviews, is
he out there talking about how great Joe and Kamala are? Yeah,
it was, I couldn't believe it. I set my foot back home on
American soil and there was the President the Vice President to
greet me even waiting to get my bag off the plane. That would
have been the way it would have been the way to play it. Now, so
it's just feels wrong. And we all got really distracted by by
Biden's meandering. Because it was it was funny. Oh, it was
hilarious. But when I see that I'm like, Okay, what are we
missing here? And what we're missing is the actual story. So
and how can you even remember one of the other names of the
other days apparently is 1000 Americans in jail in in in
Russia?
John C Dvorak: No, of course not. No. Okay, so
Adam Curry: not a good job. People not a good job. Anything
else on this because we've got to go to the UK.
John C Dvorak: Let's go to the UK. UK
Adam Curry: is in chaos. And our producer boots on the ground
Sarah has been keeping me very up to date. Most of it not
usable for the show but just so I kind of know what's happening.
She's you know, there's a lot of people doing YouTube videos and
Tik Tok videos and a kind of take that for what it is but
there's a lot of videos of people with machetes and knife
fights and hammers and going crazy is a background I
John C Dvorak: I have a background or it's the only
thing I have is this one. I said something to the last show but I
bumped it for this one. This is the UK riots. This is the newest
version from NPR. It's a very short and extremely short
backgrounder. It was
Unknown: a violent day and several British cities today
riots involving hundreds of anti immigration protesters began
after false information spread on social media to set the
suspect in a knife attack earlier this week was a radical
Muslim immigrant. Police say the suspect was born in Wales.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah. Now see, this is the we've had three
versions of this guy first he was a immigrant and then he was
a you Rwandan
Adam Curry: which I think that's the truth. He He's born of
Rwanda and immigrant parents
Unknown: in Wales.
Adam Curry: I don't know about Wales, but
John C Dvorak: that's what he said. He said he's born in
Wales. I don't know about Wales. So how many Rwanda is there in
Wales? That then go to London? So Chuck
Adam Curry: wasn't in London? Hello. Oh, it wasn't in London.
I'm sure I thought it was in London. No, no, no Southport.
This is this is the North okay.
John C Dvorak: Now well, beside the point it's nowhere near near
Wales. Be careful No, where near Wales. Okay.
Adam Curry: Let me see. Southport and Wales.
Unknown: Hmm.
Adam Curry: This No, this is more this is Liverpool. Anyway,
the what's happening is so this has been bubbling under for a
long time in the UK. People are very tired of the immigration.
And there was even a story here. Yes, facts on a plate. Our
population is at least 77 million somewhere. So the UK has
gone from 59 million in 2001 to between 77 and 80 million by,
you know, by this by the independence count and and
they're saying well of course this is all immigration. And you
know if you follow Tommy Robinson who's a little tough to
follow because, you know, he's so vilified and he speaks like a
hooligan. It's just, it's just what he is the way he speaks.
But you know, there's a lot of we've seen the grooming, a lot
of a lot of horrible things. And even someone looked it up for me
back in episode 986, or something of the show. We were
talking about the increased knife fight knife crime in the
UK, and I remember weddings, we got people like, Hey, shut up.
It's not that bad.
John C Dvorak: Now yet people are saying that just about Nigel
Farage. Yes,
Adam Curry: exactly. Oh, well, so Faraj, of course, you know,
these are now his people. So the people who are out there and
these are northerners now this is what happened with the when
the iron lady came in. What's her face? Yeah, your lady was
Thatcher. Yeah. When Thatcher came in, you know, we had the
guys from the north come down with their, you know, the thin
white English dudes with their pitchforks and their torches.
And, you know, you don't want to piss these guys off, and they're
all walking around, you know, with they're all tatted up.
They're all workers that blue collar. They got the Union Jack
right draped around their shoulders, and they're tired of
it. So they of course, are the far right. The far right don't
understand it's the far right. The far right is writing. The
far right is a problem. Here's here's a short clip from a
podcaster Paul Thorpe and he's one of the he's one of them.
See,
Unknown: these losers have become case Thomas. And the
mainstream media is useful idiots. and I are allowing them
to hide the bigger picture from all of us. So we get a problem
three, the real protesters, the ordinary mums and dads and dads
and granddad's are now of course, predictably, being
lumped in with the rioters we knew that was going to happen
didn't wait, allowing star ma to dismiss the real witchy unlike
the blind firmly at the door of the so called far right, which
has now become a term surely that needs to be quickly put to
sleep before the country explodes. Doesn't this
government doesn't in the mainstream media realize that
every single unfair every single biased headline all this
misleading and inaccurate rhetoric is unreleased stoking
the fire. And their refusal to look at the bigger picture is
simply staggering. And if they continue to label everyone as
far right, then don't be surprised when people start to
behave like it.
Adam Curry: I think we should give this guy the 3am slot on
our cable channel can be great. Yes, that's, well, it's RAM so
it'd be ADM. ADM, in the UK as part of the UK drive time. So
here's GB news, which is supposed to be the conservative,
you know, like the Fox News version, soft Fox News in the
UK. Here's their morning show. These two ditzes are pretty
funny.
Unknown: That has been another night of serious violence on the
streets as protesters have attacked a police office set a
car on fire, and they've surrounded a mosque in
Sunderland. The
demonstration which was in Sunderland, as you say it was
one of more than a dozen that had been planned by someone
across the country,
or the Prime Minister has warned protesters they would face the
full force of the law do use of course try to crack down on the
violence. And
of course this violence seems to be happening ironically and
dreadfully after those three little girls were murdered
during the massive stabbing in Southport. How
Adam Curry: is this ironic? Post ironic people are mad about
this. I don't understand the eye the irony of it
John C Dvorak: back again, maybe I can catch it.
Unknown: As well and protesters they would face the full force
of the law to use of course trying to crack down on the
violence.
And of course this violence seems to be happening ironically
and dreadfully after those three little girls were murdered
during the mass stabbing in South boy.
Adam Curry: So they're disconnecting the to what
John C Dvorak: they Yeah, they're making it ironic because
it was violence that killed three little girls and they're
exhibiting violence. Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah. Oh, she How ironic is that? I wonder? How
could that be? GB
Unknown: news do you think it is? It is very difficult to
think about how we manage all this and the fact we sort of say
it's in the wake of what's happened in Sunderland. It's got
nothing to do
with SASS forte has clearly whoever is orchestra,
Adam Curry: there's literally saying it has nothing to do with
it.
Unknown: It makes no sense. sense yeah,
to think about how we manage all this and the fact we sort of say
it's in the wake of what's happened in Sunderland. It's got
nothing to do now,
Adam Curry: which has everything to do with Sunderland. Alright,
so maybe maybe you know they're they're making a misconnection
but this is not the first thing that has happened to young girls
or or people in general in the UK there is just like Sweden we
don't hear about it anymore. But there's a lot of illegal
immigrant crime taking place. So you can't disconnect this GB
news as
Unknown: far as clearly whoever is orchestrating these events
Adam Curry: in Russia, maybe Russia is doing it.
John C Dvorak: What is she she's orchestrated, it's
Adam Curry: orchestrate whoever is doing this Egypt,
Unknown: Egypt. It's got nothing to do now.
With Soundsport has clearly whoever is orchestrating
Adam Curry: it. Yes, it absolutely right. Looney MC
tuning the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes
and ears. It was their final and most essential command. Exactly.
Don't believe your eyes and ears, people. Oh, clearly
Unknown: whoever is orchestrating these events is
using Southport as some sort of a trigger skews. And it may be
an excuse. Yeah, but for what you ask what good. I mean, I've
heard many commentators say what what do they think they're
achieving? And I think the answer is that they don't think
at all. They're just looking for an excuse to cause trouble.
Well, I think some some are, but there is, I think, Mark White
homeland security, security, as this has put it very well over
the last couple of days, when he's talks about the fact that
there is the great parts of the British community who feel
unheard, underrepresented, ignored by the politics, but not
ignored by the police. When you compare it to this idea of two
tier policing, where if you've got a pro Palestine March and
awful things chanted, nothing seems to happen. But you should
have a lot of white people together and the police move in
the right gear. Yeah,
Adam Curry: there's a lot of this a lot of these because I'm
watching the crowds. I'm watching people interview people
in the crowds. There's a lot of this two tier policing two
tiered justice system. Hey, welcome to the party. UK.
Welcome to what we've been subjected to. We just don't use
machetes. So of course yeah, yet. Of course. This is as
fodder for all kinds of cool stuff we can do when when the
population kicks up like this in Liverpool,
Unknown: Bristol hole or Belfast, anti immigration
protests have swept across several British cities in what's
become the most widespread rioting in the country for over
a decade. In Nottingham to far right demonstrate
Adam Curry: what happened a decade ago. What right we were
around with the show what writing was there.
John C Dvorak: That era when the students were protesting and
they developed at tea kettle approach? Remember that? Oh,
Adam Curry: yeah. Negatively Yes. Cabling cabling. Ah, good
one
Unknown: tree for over a decade. In Nottingham tuned. Fairlight
demonstrators took to the streets on Saturday facing off
with anti racism groups. People
are fed up as being told you should be ashamed if you're
white and working class. Well, I'm proud white working class,
there
is an attempt to exploit a very tragic situation. This is a sort
of nationwide protest we've seen come out of nowhere. And
Nottingham is a multiracial city and we want everyone to feel
comfortable in their own city centre. The widespread riots
follow a stabbing in Southport that killed three young girls
earlier this week. false information about the suspects
background quickly spread online, fueling anti Muslim and
anti immigration demonstrations. Even after police confirmed the
suspect was born in Britain. The violence has prompted hundreds
of mosques to step up security. It's a first test for newly
elected prime minister Kier Starmer. His government has
promised a firm response. criminal violence
and disorder has no place on Britain's streets. We've been
clear to the police that they have our full backing in taking
the strongest possible action against perpetrators, including
we're making sure that there are more prosecutors. There are
sufficient prison places and also that the courts stand
ready in Sunderland where violence has a peak on Friday
for officers had to be hospitalized and 10 writers were
arrested further demonstrations are planned for Sunday. Yes,
Adam Curry: sound familiar? Oh yes, there were cops herded the
January 6 riots. Yeah, some very familiar script. This, of course
is not what Kier Stormer wanted, as Starmer wanted as his first
first issue to deal with as the new prime minister. So there is
a political aspect to this. So we had to come out. And he had
to talk to had some kind of meeting like some some homeland
security meeting. And you have to take into account at the UK.
If you post something on social media that hurts someone else's
feelings, you will get a visit from the police. And you can get
arrested for just saying, hey, you know, you you tranny is not
a nice thing to do. But no, it's like, but in America, at least
you can say it. If you want, you can go you do your Macedon vibe
you can do you can do that. But in the UK, you know, you get
arrested. So they have to we gotta take measures.
Unknown: This was a meeting to pull together our response
response both to the immediate challenge, which is clearly
driven by far right hatred, by nearly all violent disorder that
flares up whatever the apparent causal motivation, we make no
distinction. Crime is crime. And so to that end, I can announce
today that following this meeting, we will establish a
national capability across police forces to tackle violent
disorder. These thugs are mobile, they move from community
to community. And we must have a policing response that can do
the same. Why the deployment? Sorry?
John C Dvorak: It says a national police force.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah, they can do the same mobile
John C Dvorak: forever. Left has been wanting to create a
national mean, they tried to make the FBI into it. But now
Adam Curry: they had a meeting. So what's happening, and
Unknown: we must have a policing response that can do the same
shared intelligence, why the deployment of facial recognition
technology and preventive action, criminal behavior orders
to restrict their movements
John C Dvorak: bring crime?
Adam Curry: Behavioral What do you say was the term used here?
Unknown: facial recognition technology, and preventative
action, criminal behavior orders to restrict their movements for
John C Dvorak: criminal behavior order. Yes,
Adam Curry: with preventative action. So you look you're kind
of you're posting some criminal things there online, we're going
to have to restrict your movement son, before
Unknown: they could even board a train.
Adam Curry: Social score, yeah, China, China,
Unknown: before they could even board a train in just the same
way that we do with football hooligans. But let me also say
two large social media companies and those who run them, Elon
violent disorder, clearly whipped up online. That is also
a crime. It's happening on your premises. And the law must be
upheld everywhere. That is the single most important duty of
government service rests on security. And we will take all
necessary action to keep our streets
Adam Curry: safe. Whenever there wasn't what do you say was the
most important action of government violent disorder
Unknown: clearly whipped up online. That is also a crime.
It's happening on your premises. And the law must be upheld
everywhere. That is the single most important duty of
government is
Adam Curry: that that law must be upheld everywhere. That's the
most single important duty of government. So shut down social
media because that's a problem. And there's an advisor to
Starmer. And he tries to walk it back a little bit, but he's very
clear what he's saying here. Now,
Unknown: I believe Lord warnie is with us now. Lovely to see
you this morning. It's been a very good week, particularly on
your patch and issues that you're interested in, John,
because, I mean, we've been seeing Britain go up in flames.
You've said something interesting in a previous
interview, and I just want to question you on it. You sort of
suggested that we might want to reintroduce COVID measures to
deal with that. Does that what you mean, have you been mis
misconstrued slightly? Explain what you mean?
No, no, I'm
glad you've asked me about this Camilla. No, not at all. The
point I was making is that that at points of national emergency,
the British public such as, as we haven't covered, the British
public have shown that they are prepared to accept different and
unusual approaches. And I think that in that context, if if
greater powers are needed for the police to be able to crack
down on the troublemakers who are inciting these and inflaming
these riots, I think there would be broad support for that. I
think some of the people who never wanted locked down in the
first place have been sued either deliberately or
unintentionally what I was saying so thanks for giving me
the chance to make that clear.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Don't think you're talking about people
wearing a mask bro. Obviously locked down slug people in their
homes, the British people they are. They are willing to take
these extreme measures. They're willing. They're willing to take
it. Well, we shall see. We shall see how the brothers do up there
up north. I don't think so. I think they've had it. I do
predict that we'll see some immigrant hotel gets set on fire
in the UK. It's going to be bad.
Unknown: Yeah, probably. Yeah.
Adam Curry: And on that happy note, that's fair, a great way
to go. Like to thank you for your courage in the morning tea
with the man who put the seat and cackling Kamala say hello to
my friend on the other end the one and only Mr. John
John C Dvorak: revenir says the world the names and nights out
there in
Adam Curry: the morning to our trolls and the troll room. Let
me count you first of all we're a little late today and let me
see the previous trolls were only about 100. Under the last
lesson they showed 2402 It definitely is picked up. Picked
up I like it. And the trolls are active and they're good. They're
doing good things good work trolls are good trolls and pat
you on the head. When we bend down to patch on that they're
very tiny these trolls and they are in the troll room troll
room.io is where you can join them. If you haven't trouble
signing in, you have to register. Some people have
emailed me about that there's there are detailed instructions,
you just have to follow the links to get to get to it.
trolled on.io is great because you can be in a troll room on
the same page along with the live stream. And as usual, these
live streams are also available for you in the modern podcast
apps, you can find one at podcast apps.com. And you'll be
alerted when these when these shows go live. It's not in your
legacy, not only not in your grandpa's podcast app only in
the new ones. And when we publish a show, besides all the
extra features it has, you'll also be notified within 90
seconds.
John C Dvorak: You know I? I don't normally do it. But I've
gone into the troll room. And I don't remember having to
register or anything you go in as a guest and you're sitting
you
Adam Curry: can't post I think you can only post if you
register otherwise you just then you're you're lower than a
troll. And I'm sure you didn't post that you post something
John C Dvorak: only to post in there for.
Adam Curry: Exactly. So I think you can you can be a troll and
be in there but you can't troll so you're actually sub troll.
John C Dvorak: You're a non troll. Yeah,
Adam Curry: you're lower than troll. I mean, that's bad lower
than troll. As you can understand just listening to
even GB news who have a commercial model, they have
commercials. There's no way we could live by a commercial
system because the stuff that we're talking about No, we're we
we bring you therapy for your conspiracy theories. And we try
to help you understand what's going on your world which means
you know, sometimes we got to talk stuff that just won't pass
on. won't pass and Garm regulations if you know what
Garmin is look it up jrM No way. So we decided early on almost 17
years ago. Let's Garm Garm is the rating agency. Oh that you
haven't heard of Garm? No. Oh Garm is amazing. Garm stands for
Let me see. It's the it well, they are the World Federation of
Advertisers Garm stands for Global Alliance for responsible
media. You see? So Garm is a cross industry initiative
established in 2019 by the World Federation of Advertisers How
can you not be a member to help the industry address the
challenge of illegal or harmful content on digital media
platforms and its monetization via advertising? This was set up
after the church Christ shooting when the killer live streams
attack that was their that was their trigger.
John C Dvorak: X Christ Church
Adam Curry: ya know in in New Zealand,
John C Dvorak: yeah, Christ you're you said Church Christ.
Did
Adam Curry: I say that I met Christ Church. I say Church
Christ. That's weird. He did Christ your mom. I'm dyslexic. X
is now a member of Garm. Because, you know, the
advertisers they don't they're so incestuous. The advertisers
don't really want any risk is certainly not the agencies that
by the media. So now so you know the agency Well yes, we follow
the Garm guidelines so your content will always be safe. It
won't show up next to a bunch of horrible podcasters or anything
want to hear their strategic partner are some Garm? Yeah, I'd
John C Dvorak: like to hear this. This is all news. I don't
know how they miss this. I understand that I'm a podcaster.
I take I know this.
Adam Curry: I'm sure we've played something about Garm. I'm
sure we have. Well, maybe not. Maybe not. It's, well, it's the
big agencies, obviously. Then we'll see our leadership on
leadership. I think it's okay. We handlers
John C Dvorak: handler on there.
Adam Curry: No, we have the World Federation of Advertisers,
treasurer and CEO. We have the actual CEO of the World
Federation of Advertisers. We have the president of MasterCard
is in here. We have the Chief Marketing consumer and Marketing
Officer of international foods for PepsiCo. And these are
pretty big advertisers. Yeah, we have the Global Chief Marketing
Officer of Nestle. We have the chief communications
Institutional Relations Officer Bank of America.
John C Dvorak: So far, all I'm hearing is globalists. Well,
Adam Curry: yes, that is correct. Global category leader
marketing and services IBM Wreckit. Ralph, another huge
advertiser at Unilever. Diageo, there's your drink guy, the Mars
Corporation, L'Oreal, Procter and Gamble Danone for your, for
your dairy products. Do you see why you're not gonna get any
advertising? These are the advertisers. So they're all in
on this. And boy, they must have some great cocktail parties, you
imagine? Oh,
John C Dvorak: caviar, piles of piles of caviar. And those
Norden rip deals where you got a big bowl of ice and a bunch of
shrimp.
Adam Curry: Yeah. How about a chocolate fountain? One of
those?
John C Dvorak: Yes, that would be the Yeah, you have to have
that for sure. A
Adam Curry: chocolate fountain. Beautiful. So instead of that we
decided to go with a value from well,
John C Dvorak: we don't get to go to these parties. We don't
know. I haven't seen a shrimp cascade with a big button giant
thing ice and all the shrimp. I'd say for 10 years. Oh, ever
since I started doing this show, actually. But it's almost 20
years.
Adam Curry: Yeah, we didn't even we didn't even have nothing.
You're welcome. Enjoy. Yeah, so we decided to go with value for
value which is it's really simple. We put the show out we
put the show all our shows out from day one. Copy it we at
John C Dvorak: least we live as honest men. We do.
Adam Curry: We do. We live an honest life. And in which means
that we can dedicate ourselves but with the value for value
model. I mean, we just dedicate we don't have to do meetings
advertisement. Although it'd be nice to see the one of those
shrimp deals. We don't have to go to that meeting. Oh, yeah.
No, we'll we won't be using the any terms. You don't like Mr.
Mossad? Give us a list? Yeah, yeah, there's a list. And
believe me, there's multiple lists. So instead, we put the
shows out, make them available. You know, I saw that Patreon.
Now, I don't know how accurate these numbers are. But I was
looking at this. Patreon, who by the way, also deep platform
people which is why we don't use a Patreon model. You can you can
say something on a whole different platform. I go on the
Joe Rogan show and say something that Patreon doesn't like and
then they've got no more No more. No more sponsored, no more
donations for you.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's unbelievable that anyone would
go for that well,
Adam Curry: supposedly in 2023 40,000 what they call
podcasters I don't know exactly what they would they consider a
podcaster to be the they paid out $350 million dollars. Wow,
that's a lot of money. But you and I don't want to do Patreon
because a people can just get it you have to have a level you
have to subscribe.
John C Dvorak: Oh, it's too limiting. We're broadcast
doesn't if you know what you're doing. Patreon wouldn't do
better than we can do ourselves because both of us have enough
skill and experience that you can just duplicate what they do
and do it better. Because you don't have you're not competing
with anybody and you're not on their limited system which only
allows this this and that it doesn't allow like the kinds of
subscriptions knighthoods executive producer ships all the
things that we offer are far above and beyond what patron
could even come close to accomplishing and then we're not
limited by their their rules. Yes. Which we don't we are not
rule followers. We
Adam Curry: are definitely not rule followers and I don't think
our trolls are Ruffalo was either.
John C Dvorak: Well, that's for sure. But the point is, is that
it's a crappy system for anyone who thinks for themselves.
Exactly. I'm really sorry. Fried and then that was that was a
really go along with the program on Patreon or the Oh, we got
special content. If you join the Patreon and premium premium, you
get to see the show ahead of time you get to see something I
wouldn't give there anybody else because I'm just giving it to
you. This is bullcrap. So
Adam Curry: instead, we just put the show out there and we say,
Hey, did you get any value from this and the back to us, you can
do it in many ways time, talent, treasure, we love our producers
who give us boots on the ground that is very valuable. We love
people who run websites, set up websites do all kinds of things
out there for us people organize meetups. We also need treasure,
time, talent, treasure, we need that as well. And people who
can't participate in in any other way. Even people who do I
would say some of our biggest and most frequent supporters,
let's put it that way are people who already do other things. Now
they understand the trifecta is not if an ad or it's you know,
whatever you can do is any end. It's an is whatever you can do.
So capitalist agenda is obviously his name is right in
the name. He's a Dutch master. And he is one of the artists who
uploads artwork to no agenda art generator.com Another fine piece
of machinery that Sir Paul couture put and he's a Sir, why
is he sir because he's a knight because he supported us with
treasure. But he also supports us with his time and his time
upgrades. So we've been through 15 years of the server with this
guy. We love him for it. And capital agenda capitalist agenda
took advantage of that system and upload what we thought was
just a dynamite piece of artwork, which we value very
much because art, especially when put out online, it attracts
people. It says something about the show you look at like, Oh
man, what are these guys doing now? And when it comes to spoof
package shots, and the no agenda artists are the best. So episode
1682. We titled that nativism just because the word either
wasn't heard of before. And we liked it was good. I've heard
John C Dvorak: of it. But I didn't know the definition of
the top my head so it doesn't count and
Adam Curry: capitalist agenda put together Camelus crackers,
not not an international product necessarily because animal
crackers is a very US centric product. But it was the exact
the exact look and feel of the animal crackers box. Except that
had cameras cracker boys behind bars, which made it even funnier
white dudes for Camela yeah, by the way, the the impetus for
that because I said they should have called it crackers for
Kamala, that was a troll room suggestion. So you know, this is
all on you guys, you you really put this together and I love it
when it comes together like that. And and just looking at
the details of this art. It's so good, including, of course net
weight, 33 ounces, and instead of Nabisco up in the corner, it
says Gitmo. I mean, it could not get any better. So we I mean, we
were unanimous in this decision, I think right off the bat.
John C Dvorak: Boy, yeah, you actually had come back from the
bathroom. Yeah, I typically need to pee and you asked me I don't
know you sometimes you do this and what's good. And I said
there's only one and you took the same look at it. I did you
get oh, yeah, we did. There was no dispute. We actually, were
remiss in discussing the other art. I can't say that we can
have criticism of the other art that there was good art there. I
mean, I think there's always something that could have been
selected. Yeah, but it was that quick. It was it was like
instant it was to pick hence
Adam Curry: the pick. Yes. Just looking through it. There's no
There's as obvious why it wasn't instant pick. It was this wasn't
that Camela with an afro No. Are you an American? Actually comics
a blogger had a weird AI generated thing, which was kind
of funny. I like Darren O'Neal's. weird weird weird
weird that was alright. But yeah, I was a more Olympic
stuff. Olympic cock rings. Okay, no. No. So obvious. It was just
dynamite. I think I think all the artists in you can see that
after that got uploaded, everyone gave up. Like, oh,
okay, now that's it.
John C Dvorak: We're gonna use that does happen once in a
while, because the artists will go and check out before they
submit or before they even start designing. They'll look, I've
seen this happen before where you would normally get about 20
pieces in and maybe sometimes 30. And then sometimes when
Zinger goes in there, that's just so good. You ended with 10
pieces.
Adam Curry: Yeah, by the way, it was war. Plautus I think who
came up with crackers for Camela credit where credit is due.
That's how it works. Your producers Even trolls can be
producers that would like to thank the executive and
Associate Executive producers of episode 1683 This is like
Hollywood this is another thing you don't get on. Try and take
your Patreon donation and opening up an IMDB account. No,
you can't do it. But when you have an executive or Associate
Executive Producer title from the no agenda show you can now
we don't need everybody to do this. We would prefer that
everybody who listens to got a sustaining donation which is
something there's a regular basis that is any amount that
you want all at all amounts or whatever you want, basically,
and we'd like to numerology that pops up from time to time. But
we will read the note and give the title of Associate Executive
Producer anyone $200 and above 300 and above and executive
producer and we will read your note and we kick it off right
off the bat with John Jones. I'm sorry, was Sir eternus clavey
Creevy Clevy quack quack quack quack quack heavy? How do I say
it?
John C Dvorak: I don't know. Well, we
Adam Curry: became a night on the last show.

stripe donation. I have no idea what the what he has to say. So
we'll expect a note from him maybe? Soon someday or not until
Adam Curry: then double up karma.
Unknown: You've got karma.
Adam Curry: And then we move to by the way
John C Dvorak: I should mention people don't have to send in

for bigger fish. Turning my energy from parish ministry to
national ministry in this my land of Scotland. They speak for
many when I say how no agenda has not only helped me laugh in
hard times, like when ended up in hospital from the clogs seen
the clog seen AstraZeneca the health karma worked, he says but
also your deconstruction of the news has helped me make sense of
the times we are in making us all better in our roles, in my
case, the shepherd of the flock. So thank you, John and Adam for
your shepherding of the Gitmo nation. We couldn't do it

Adam Curry: Salmon is the best I think Scott has smoked Scottish
salmon is the best in the world.
John C Dvorak: Would you Which brings me to the smoked salmon
you get from two cific Northwest races a story which is not a
story okay. Well it might be no no no no, so this people love
the salmon from Pacific Northwest but it's because of
the Pacific Northwest version of the wood that they use to smoke
it. They use Alder I bag we have a groin as a weed is considered
a weed but it's a big, thick weedy it's like four inches in
diameter or bigger. And it's in that order which is different
than the one we have down here. is so delicious. It's one of the
great woods of the world.
Adam Curry: I didn't know it was the wood. Well this the Scottish
salmon is just the salmon.
John C Dvorak: No, it's it's not as smoky with the same flavor of
wood. So just saying just saying I'm older wood if you if you
liked the barbecue,

shrimp deals. That's the best.

with the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement
Network, also known as FinCEN. That's right. Your government
wants to know all about you and your private business holdings
purportedly to deter and detect money laundering. Eli, Eli,
listen up Eli the coffee guy. Don't be money laundering that
coffee dough. And if you don't file your report before the

possibly up to two years in prison. The desired reports

Adam Curry: I don't know.
John C Dvorak: Where do you get the forms? There's got to be a
form from irs.gov I'm
Adam Curry: sure. Well, you're sure you don't know. Now Rob dot
lawyer will put it on his website.
John C Dvorak: I hope so.
Adam Curry: Yes. Well, I'm
John C Dvorak: distressed.
Adam Curry: It's very distressful. Because they you
know, no, I'm
John C Dvorak: distressed because I didn't know about it.
Oh, so this is one of those things you didn't nobody tells
you anything. If it wasn't for Rob here. I wouldn't know why
never say no. Why? Well,
Adam Curry: you know why is because you're too busy watching
for our YouTube videos, which you send to me like oh, this is
an interesting series. I'm not gonna watch a four hour YouTube
video. No, not from you. Not from anybody you
John C Dvorak: missed out. Yeah, sure. Linda IUPAC ins up she's

Adam Curry: And our final Associate Executive producer is
Mark bleh felt sounds very Dutch to me, but lives in Haddam,
Connecticut. Even Saddam doesn't sound very Connecticut he
John C Dvorak: and Marxism is like a Muslim enclave. And
Adam Curry: Marx ends as 200 and says thanks, Dan, we thank you
as do we thank all of our executive and Associate
Executive producers for episode 1683. Remember, we thank
everybody above $50? Not below because that is usually send him
for reasons of anonymity. And we do have people who have those
sustaining donations. We appreciate you very much those
people also get tonight who would you could do? Go to no
agenda donations calm and thank you again to our Executive
Associate Executive producers for 1683. Our formula
Unknown: is this. We go out for yet people in the mouth.
John C Dvorak: You think the local news or somebody report to
us about this issue with the LLC requirement that you send a
document to the Treasury Department out of the blue
wells? Okay,
Adam Curry: so that is why we are the best podcast in the
universe because we have producers who will gladly pay to
get this mentioned on the show. To Hell, what if it wasn't for
him? Well, we all be in jail together.
John C Dvorak: So unbelievable. They're not going to get
everyone to feel they're obviously not going to be able
to do this. They're gonna use it to intimidate low dry cleaners
and literal
Unknown: and podcasts, businesses.
John C Dvorak: And podcasts are podcasters there's probably a
lot of podcasters that are LLCs Of course, and they probably
indeed go through Patreon and patrons are going to tell him
anything. No,
Adam Curry: probably not.
John C Dvorak: I just find it irksome that this sort of thing
just crops up out of the blue like this. This is your Biden
administration.
Adam Curry: I'd like to drop down just the hair and hookers
report for a moment with some big tech news. As it looks like
we're getting closer and closer to the bubble popping that is
double the AI bubble. It's a bubble. It's a bubble and it's
not just me now Elliott Management wait Aren't those the
guys who Elliott Management in they're not they like an
activist? A bunch of guys?
John C Dvorak: who've never heard of them.
Adam Curry: I thought Elliott Management got a board seat on
some company. I think so. Elliott Management said the
technology mega caps such as Nvidia are in a are in bubble
land. And that the hedge fund is sketchy said they're hedge fund
skeptical that these companies will continue to purchase Nvidia
chips and graphic processing units in such huge volumes.
Elliott said that many AI applications are not ready for
primetime and that many of the expected uses are quote, never
going to be cost efficient, never going to actually work.
Right, and that they will take up too much energy or will prove
to be untrustworthy.
Unknown: Yeah,
Adam Curry: I think that's true. I'm on board with Elliot. I
think they're absolutely right. And well, there was Well, I got
a quick clip here, just the chip sector. It's been bad all round.
Unknown: We now know how many employees Intel plans to cut in
2025. Today the Hillsboro based company announced that they are
laying off 15% of their workforce as part of a $10
billion cost reduction strategy. That's more than 15,000 rolls
that could be on the chopping block next year. This comes as
the company reports a 1% decrease in their second quarter
revenue compared to last year. Intel currently employs about
120,000 people. It's one of the biggest employers in the state
of Oregon.
Adam Curry: No, that's not so good.
John C Dvorak: Wait a minute, this the Santa Clara company
when did it become a Hillsborough company?
Adam Curry: I don't know when that's that's your your Oregon
news organization. I don't know. Logitech coming out with a new
mouse, John.
John C Dvorak: You know, which reminds me so so I was using the
very shoddy I have to agree with our producers, the shoddy Ali
Express.
Adam Curry: Yes, the Amazon killer. But
John C Dvorak: they did have they do have a mouse under that
I bought one of these things, the exact same product from
Amazon about five, six years ago. And it was $11 mouse which
is the one I'm using on this machine right now. Yeah. And the
ALI Express had the same exact mouse exactly the same. I bought
one for five bucks. In less you can beat these prices. Your new
Logitech mouse is out the window. This is a terrific
product.
Adam Curry: Oh really? What model is it?
John C Dvorak: Say Yeah, I don't know. It's just some sort of a
screwy mouse. It's got it's got a built in battery. So you have
to use you can recharge it with the USB port just put batteries
in it like it does every it's a killer. It's a killer mouse.
It's just dynamite.
Adam Curry: Well, this new Logitech mouse five bucks, which
is the signature AI edition. ships with a dedicated button to
launch a chat GPT powered app. And you have to pay a
subscription to your mouse.
John C Dvorak: They should pay you for this mouse.
Adam Curry: I agree. I agree. Google had to pull their AI ad
which they had scheduled for the Olympics. And the reason why the
ad was titled dear Sydney and it showed a girl's dad prompting
the AI chatbot because that's all the AI does is chatbot and
embed and no agenda art. prompting the AI chatbot to help
write a letter to her favorite athlete, US hurdler and sprinter
Sydney. McLaughlin love Roan. And so people got very mad at
this. Because the payoff line was Gemini helped my daughter
write a letter telling Sidney how inspiring she is. Well,
people started sending letters of protest, saying hi don't want
some a I doing this work. I want my child to actually be inspired
and write to these athletes about how inspiring they are.
That shouldn't be Google's job. So they pulled the ad. People
are not happy. Good. I agree. I agree. Absolutely. And then the
absolute this is this is actually probably actually
probably who I listen to me. This is probably actually
actually one of the best AI products ever developed. It's
also the most horrible, but it only cost 2 million a couple
million bucks for this guy to put it together. It's not out
yet. And I'll give you the visual. It's a lanyard that you
put around your neck and has a little plastic like an amulet on
it and you talk to the amulet you press on it so it's like a
rubber almost you know it resembles
John C Dvorak: a little thing used to do float around with a
did you make your friends and maybe if you're near somebody
else had had one Gottschee a Tamagotchi and you had somebody
next to BBB BBB BBB somebody's next to you. Herbie that was the
Furby did that. Well, that noise was the Furby noise yes but this
other thing oh my
Adam Curry: gosh, did the Tamagotchis interact with each
other?
John C Dvorak: I first I remember if I've device I'm
thinking yes if you're in range of another Tamagotchi that some
buddy else was wearing you would now be friends.
Adam Curry: So it's it what this really resembles Have you ever
seen a gear lever in an aircraft? Yeah, of course and
has a round kind of rubber thing on it. Yeah, I've
John C Dvorak: been in a simulator. Which
Adam Curry: which is which is intentional because then you
don't you know you grab that lever You know, immediately
that's my gear. That's That's why flaps is like a flat knob
that feels like a flap. So it looks like one of those rubber
wheels you read around your neck and then you press it. And it
doesn't end. So it listens to you, it doesn't respond to you,
it responds to you on your phone with a text message. Listen to
the report.
Unknown: It's the video Silicon Valley is talking about the
Effexor crazy, a teaser for a wearable product called friend,
which promises to be just that if you consider AI to be your
friend, you kind of have this feeling of no judgment. And I
think that allows you to be a lot more authentic with it.
Obviously, the 21 year old who created friend and spent just
shy of $2 million for the website friend.com describes his
product as a good listener. Sorry, that messy. The most
similar relationship you can attribute it to might be a
relationship with God where it's this kind of omnipresent all
knowing entity that you have around you, that you can kind of
like talk to in a in a silent, you know, private confident way
with with no judgement. Not everyone is sold yet.
It sounds like it's designed by people that don't know how to
make friends. But
Tech professor Ahmed banaba, who's tried many AI devices week
says this might hit the mark,
it's in mind me with the case when you are we have a very
close friend and you feel comfortable saying, you know
some kind of a dumb thing to that friend without worrying
that they're gonna judge you.
The company says the device will cost $99 when it's available, no
subscription necessary. And it'll essentially work like
this. Put the lanyard around the neck. It'll have a pendant at
the end of it. You push a button on the pendant, and it will give
you encouragement, advice or feedback on whatever it is
you've been talking about. Yes, it listens all the time. But the
company says it will not store any audio recordings. Schiffman
believes it's an example of how AI can help. You know, I think
having an AI friend that will say like oh, good luck on the
interview will increase your productivity far more than it
reminding you that it's in five minutes. In fact, after we
spoke, he sent me this text from his friend named Emily saying
that he nailed the interview
John C Dvorak: his friends named Emily Hello.
Adam Curry: So I think there's so product conversations. Yeah,
go ahead. Well,
John C Dvorak: I think it's a good idea, by the way. And I'll
tell you why. We had a conversation that dinner table
and JC had some stats about how different generational groups
have less and less friends to the Z group. The Zeds the zeros
wherever you want to call them. The Zoomers. Zoomers, they
pretty much have zero friends. They they have like, it's their
average number of friends outside. You know, besides
outside the family is one. Yes. Well, you go to the millennials,
it's like four or five and you go to the everything else is a
little higher, at least is that many, but it's not one.
Adam Curry: I think there's some some real exit strategy
opportunities for us here. First of all, I think it'd be great
just have an AI called God. You know that he said it was like
having God with you all the time. Okay, good. You can do
that. Or how about your real friend, which is Adam and John.
And we're gonna we're not gonna we're gonna be real friends.
Like, you look like crap.
John C Dvorak: But looks big. Tuck your shirt in.
Adam Curry: Show up on time. Get off my lawn.
John C Dvorak: So I didn't nagging duo.
Adam Curry: Real real friends, real friends, friends. Real
Friends do who really care about you? It's like, no, the essay
sucks. Get off chat. Get off Twitter. Yeah, get up. Get out
of bed. Get out of bed. That's what you want. Da. I agree. I
think it's a good idea. It's so simple. And it's just another
chatbot that's the only thing AI is good at. Except for no agenda
art. No agenda, art chat bots, and maybe maybe some of those
ads I'm seeing run for Kamala Harris on the Olympics. That
doesn't sound like her. Sounds like they might have sampled her
and have a bot doing it. I don't know. It's just just my feeling.
John C Dvorak: I do like to samples. I like to do funny
voices in the humor you can create with them. Yeah. The
videos not as good as the desert voiced itself. Of
Adam Curry: course, this is vaporware. There's no product
yet. But we could do that. We could do a vaporware version of
it. Oh,
John C Dvorak: this is the way to go. You're
Adam Curry: no agenda real friend amulet. We should just
call it an amulet
John C Dvorak: the ambulance the ambulance. Hey,
Adam Curry: you go. I have yes please.
John C Dvorak: I wanted to try to get Venezuela out of the way
so these clips is different last show.
Adam Curry: Yeah, me it, can we well, I let's talk about it when
you're done because I'm curious what your thoughts are on this.
John C Dvorak: Well, let's play I got both NTD and NPR. I would
like to play the two parter from NTD. Venezuela one and two
Venezuela
Unknown: socialist President Nicolas Maduro ordered military
and police to patrol across the country starting Wednesday.
protests continue inside Venezuela as many claim the
incumbent government committed election fraud to stay in power.
A rights group says at least 16 people have been killed in the
protests so far. Venezuelan authorities say nearly 750
people have been arrested and Maduro now also wants opposition
leaders to be arrested blaming them for the protests against
his leadership.
We have held back we will uncover and capture them all,
and we will be victorious once again victorious. The
opposition says its candidate at Mondo Gonzalez had more than
twice as many votes as Maduro based on 90% of vote tallies.
This would mean the end of 25 years of Socialist rule in
Venezuela.
With these numbers, we will begin the reconstruction of
Venezuela hand in hand with all of you.
international support for the opposition is now mounting. Peru
says it recognizes Gonzalez as the actual president elect and
Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica and Uruguay say they don't recognize
the results of the election. And Florida Senator Rick Scott is
calling on Biden to do the same and recognize Gonzalez as the
actual president elect. Republican Senator John Hoeven
told NTD he's in favor of Senator Scott's demands. Senator
Scott's right. I mean, it's a sham elections ridiculous.
Maduro doesn't hold free and open elections. It's ludicrous
and everybody knows it, and we should speak out against it. The
White House on Wednesday was asked if it recognizes Gonzalez
as the actual president elect.
We want to see the full tabulated data from the polling
places we want to see something that can be verifiable.
The State Department on Wednesday said it's patience for
Maduro is running out citing new Independent reports.
Venezuela's 20 2004 presidential election did not meet
international standards of electoral integrity and cannot
be considered democratic.
Adam Curry: Wow, amazing. The amazing you know that you
Smartmatic machines. So it's quite interesting that in this
case, the Biden administration like is rigged. It's no good
scams, no good. That can't possibly be right. But
John C Dvorak: I find weird weird is the fact that he did
these elections thinking he could win. Well, he's smoking
his own dope has no Camela. This paper, part two,
Unknown: the Organization of American States or OAS held a
meeting today to address the results of the Venezuelan
election entities Washington correspondent Luis Martinez has
more on this story. The
governments of 11 countries in the region requested the OAS to
have a special meeting of the permanent council here in
Washington DC to discuss the electoral process in Venezuela.
The OAS is the multilateral regional body dedicated to human
rights, electoral oversight and economic and human development.
We want
the Messala to publish the results with transparencies. We
want to encourage the protection of all the opposition figures,
we want the Venezuelan authorities to respect the
introduction of asylum. And also we will want to see if the
contrast is continuing some independence organizations to
make an auditing of the results of the winners for lung
elections.
It's important to note that in 2019, the OAS, the United States
and 50 other countries in the world move to recognize the then
opposition leader Juan guaido as the legitimate president of
Venezuela until 2023, when the Venezuelan opposition does solve
the interim government. While the expectation
that we have is and Mondo Gonzalez should be recognized as
the president elected of Venezuela. This is something
that is not imposed, it was the will of the vast majority of
Venezuelans to the point that Mundell one Silas has achieved
at the biggest margin in a presidential election in the
history of Venezuela.
Adam Curry: So, of course, your no agenda show has a boots on
the ground report.
John C Dvorak: Remember guaido Yeah, Bronco Venezuela Edo.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I remember that guy. He looked like Obama.
Yeah, of course. Yeah. He
John C Dvorak: said Obama clone. Jose
Adam Curry: Carlos Cueto, writes in says My dad is a Venezuelan
PhD in political science professor expert on political
campaigns and political commentator, and he sent me some
links which unusable for the show. The situation in Venezuela
is dire. The National Electoral electoral council has announced
Maduro 150 2% against 44 of the top opposition candidate Edmundo
Gonzalez, or Thea Machado is team was able to secure over 24
and a half 1000 Voting Machine receipts, each verified,
certified and signed by six different citizens, a president
a secretary, a member to witnesses and the operator of
the polling machine. These polling machine receipts were
scanned and uploaded to this website link attach. Machado
secured 81% of all polling machine receipts with the help
of many citizens and witnesses the receipt show Gonzalez or TIA
more than doubles Maduro and votes even if you give Maduro
all the remaining votes, he doesn't have enough to claim a
victory. And so Jose sent this in as any and I guess Bobby The
Op was kind of cagey about all this didn't really just say hey,
this is all be a scam.
John C Dvorak: Or what he has to do with it.
Adam Curry: Bobby The Op has been tweeting about it.
John C Dvorak: Well, here's the last clip I have which is from
NPR which is a slightly softer
Unknown: horse. Yes. One of the few international observers
allowed him to monitor Venezuela's contested
presidential elections says that contest was anything but fair
and free. Incumbent leader Nicolas Maduro was declared
winner of Sunday's presidential election in a race. The
opposition says it one appears Carrie Kahn reports
the Atlantic based Carter Center says the contest did not meet
international standards and cannot be considered democratic
invited to observe the electoral process by the government. The
election observers listed numerous violations committed by
Venezuela's electoral council, which is packed with Maduro
loyalists among them favored media coverage and harassment of
opposition candidates. The center blasted authorities for
its total lack of transparency. The council has refused to make
public voter tally sheets that according to Venezuelan law
should be publicized. Opponents of Maduro say they have the
tally sheets for more than 80% of precincts, and it shows
candidate at Moondog Gonzalez, overwhelmingly one
Adam Curry: I met two people from Venezuela at the citizens
defending freedom conference at that dinner and one is a
harpist. I think he may be a famous harpist, and they're
very, very nice people. So we are here. I'm doing their
accent. We are here because we want to warn everybody that this
does not happen to America what happened in Venezuela. Now
they're really they're going everywhere they all over this
his word going through Texas or talking to anybody playing the
harp letting everybody know you do not want this to happen in
America as we came to America. I feel good about that. This
Kamala is no good. Didn't say that but could have
John C Dvorak: she's the socialists do that.
Adam Curry: I think you should not travel. Certainly not to
Southern California. Surely you know why? No, I don't know why.
COVID on the rise baby from tourists. Oh
Unknown: was
when so up so high six vaccinations every time they
come out with a new one.
I always get it to locals.
I just think it's better to be safe than sorry
people out in Hollywood on Friday afternoon say they're
being more cautious. I have a
master three right now just started carrying him again.
Three, Johnson says he started masking up again after seeing
elected officials contracting the virus. President Biden
announced he was dropping out of the 2024 bid for reelection.
Wow, self isolating and Delaware Mayor bass tested positive for
COVID 19. In late June, the start of some of the worst
numbers Los Angeles has seen in two years, the number of
reported COVID cases doubling in just the last four weeks
according to new data from the LA County Public Health. The
levels of COVID in wastewater has also nearly doubled since
last winter's P. The Department of Epidemiology at UCLA says
this number is more concerning because
it's really telling you on a population level. What are we
seeing are you not relying on people going in testing
reporting symptoms,
while hospitalizations have also doubled COVID deaths remain
stable. Whitetail remind says people should get a refresher on
COVID symptoms
you have symptoms, cough, cold, cold symptoms, congestion, runny
nose
and avoid contact with elderly or women who are pregnant while
hand sanitizing is still a great way to prevent the virus.
Because yeah, everybody does something for mine
says masks are still the top favorite.
I think that the masks are the most effective way of reducing
spread of the virus.
Now health officials also warn everybody that school is right
around the corner. So it's important now to stay healthy to
avoid any sort of bigger potential peak problem this fall
All right.
Adam Curry: So Los Angeles still all in on the masking
everybody's mask, if you notice if you see any B roll of
Democrat operatives working anywhere, they're all masked up.
You look at the you know, Kamala for President people. They're
all masked up. Everyone's everyone's there. They're
showing us who they are again, it's
John C Dvorak: Korea criminals.
Adam Curry: The criminal, the criminal, yeah, sort
John C Dvorak: of mask. You wear a mask if you're a criminal.
It's so
Adam Curry: sad. Five countries in Europe mercy which by the
way,
John C Dvorak: they went on and on and on and on about a
doubling if it goes from one to two is doubling. Yes, no, it's
doubling if it goes from two to four, that's doubling. Is it
going from one to two or two to four? Is it going from 5000 to
10,000? They never say, Well, why would you This is such a
bogus report. This
Adam Curry: is just to get you to wear a mask you silly man.
Maska kids choke up. Belgium, Germany, Greece, Latvia and
Portugal are going to test a new vaccination card in a variety of
formats, including printed cards, mailed copies and digital
versions for smart cards. Smartphones. Yes, beautiful. I
have a this is a boots on the ground report from our nurse
Jamie. It's not a happy one. So I want to say that we know that
many of our producers were forced to keep their jobs by
taking a vaccination. We think a lot of them luckily got j&j.
Well, luckily, who knows? But probably didn't go for more than
two we hope. So I'm saying this with
John C Dvorak: a j&j and never had to get to is just to get the
one and done right. And it wasn't mRNA. So, you know, is
the dino virus different
Adam Curry: but but the report I have is rather dire. And so I
just want to preface that by saying we love you. No matter
what.
John C Dvorak: Nurse Jamie, a lot of people out there they got
this shot. I mean, it's not going to it's a percentage. game
you're playing at that point. Nurse Jamie getting booster
after booster after booster. If you're doing that listening to
the show, I think that's a little bit much.
Adam Curry: Nurse Jamie says I want to give you boots on the
ground and healthcare. I've been a nurse for more than 10 years
as a float nurse and admitted and in administration. The level
of turbo cancers we are seeing right now is mind blowing. So
many patients with new diagnosis of cancer and as always stage
four non curable some of them given weeks to live. The common
thing I'm noticing is they all have had at least three jabs. So
vaccinated plus a booster if not more. Just this week, we had a
patient diagnosed with three new cancers, two different
metastatic cancers plus leukemia. This person just
happened to be up to date on vaccine status. I have seen
overdue for dose nine. So I'm assuming they had all nine.
That's up to date. I've never seen anyone diagnosed with two
different cancers at the same time, let alone three. The
correlation is very clear to me. It's heartbreaking to know these
people have been poisoned and have no idea. So I know it's not
uplifting, but I felt there was no one else the media, your
legacy does not talk about this. Your legacy media doesn't talk
about this. They
John C Dvorak: can't just take a look at who advertises on legacy
media.
Adam Curry: And what do you think if we had a Patreon?
John C Dvorak: We'd be kicked off. Exactly. Macy Gray and
people should have just come to appreciate what we're up to and
how we're doing it. Because there's no way that this is
possible without their help. Correct.
Adam Curry: Period. Are you familiar with the singer Macy
Gray? Yeah, of course. Well, she was on the MTV reality show The
Surreal Life villa of secrets. And she was rushed to the
hospital after she had an on air emergency because of the side
effects of her GLP one is that the article says specifically
ozempic This is another product that we have been talking about
for since they since since it the dosage changed from
something for diabetics, which I think there's there's usage in
in low dosage for diabetics that that's been clear for over a
decade. That's been around, but how people are using it now to
lose weight is just wrong. Particularly those who just want
to look better. And the guy who wrote the book, we played clips
from him John Jo Han Hari, when he just wrote the book about
cars he went on GLP one he looks pretty good. By the way, I'll
say but he stopped taking it. And here's a quick clip of the
most recent interview he did, which I thought was worth
sharing.
Unknown: Obviously, this triggers a huge amount of muscle
mass loss. And there's real worries with that, right? If you
lose muscle mass, you naturally lose muscle mass from when
you're 30 onwards, anyway, you lose quite a lot every year,
it's incredibly depressing. When you look at the figures, you
lose muscle mass naturally, every year anyway. If you lose
too much muscle mass, you won't, you'll be a bit weaker now. But
the real risks are when you're older. So if you have really low
muscle mass, when you're older, you're at risk of a condition
called sarcopenia, which is Greek for poverty of the flesh,
basically just means you're really struggled to climb the
stairs, do any kind of physical activity, you're more likely to
fall, if you do fall, you're more likely to die. It's quite a
serious thing. And this, I think, is particularly going to
be an issue for people who are already skinny, like the people
at that party we were talking about right at the start, none
of them were fat at the start, right? People who were already
skinny, who were taking it to be super skinny, they're gonna see,
they're gonna have real issues with their muscle mass likely
when they're older. So this is a very serious problem, we could
be building up a time bomb of more frail older people further
down the line.
Adam Curry: I believe, as I believe it, we have a whole
generation of people just breaking in half while they're
standing in line. So sad.
John C Dvorak: Happy news today and no agenda.
Adam Curry: Well, there is good news, there's yet another
ozempic. A new version, this is even better than last new and
improved
Unknown: Aysen picker will go V produces an average of 15% loss
of body weight over a year Manjaro causes a loss of 21% On
average, and the next one that will come down the line is
probably going to come out next year, Triple G causes 24.2%. The
reason Manjaro works differently. So this only works
on GLP. One, when djaro adds another gut hormone tip. So it
works on two gut hormones, not just one. And Triple G works on
three gut hormones, and there's going to be more and more drugs.
I mean, there's 37 gut hormones that can affect appetite, they
think so there's gonna be lots of variants of these drugs, with
different side effects profiles, different risks, different
benefits.
Adam Curry: Triple G now I love it. Triple
John C Dvorak: G is named after a boxer from like about 15 years
ago.
Adam Curry: Well, I think 4g is incoming. I mean this is they
have 37 G's they can go to I what you got, I got 35 G Oh,
man, you look great
Unknown: news. Good news.
Good news. Good news. Good news. That
Adam Curry: concludes your good news segment for today.
John C Dvorak: Sorry about Lebanon before we go. Oh,
Adam Curry: the Lebanon. Yeah. Can I can I play one quick clip
before you talk about Lebanon? Sure. Let me see where is it?
Because we got a lot of pushback about the smart bomb. And then
you know, there's been some while here it is. This is what
John C Dvorak: do we say about the smart bomb that would elicit
push
Adam Curry: back because the New York Times came out right away
and said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it was a bomb and it was
planted there two months earlier. Oh, yes.
John C Dvorak: Oh, okay. Yeah, the the fancy bomb or the fancy
missile that went through the guys Windows supposedly the I
have the background on this too. But I suppose it wasn't data at
all. It was bogus. It was just somebody bragging unnecessarily.
And it was actually a bomb that was planted a month and a half
the way I understand.
Adam Curry: I'm not believing that. I just see pretty
John C Dvorak: sketchy deals do they have no housekeeping there
that may that comes in and out of that hotel room. I never
noticed there's a bomb in the room for a month.
Adam Curry: Well listen to this report, the US
Unknown: announced plans to move a fighter jet squadron to the
Middle East and maintain an aircraft carrier in the region
amidst growing tensions. The announcement was made after US
President Joe Biden said he was very concerned at the prospect
of escalating violence in the area. The Secretary
will be directing multiple forthcoming fought force posture
moves to bolster force for US forces regionwide to provide
elevated support to the defense of Israel and to ensure the
United States is prepared to respond to this evolving crisis.
In terms of what specifics that means. I don't have that for you
right now.
Hundreds of Palestinians in Beirut held a symbolic funeral
for the Hamas leader who had been assassinated in Tehran. In
addition to the recent assassination of a Hezbollah
commander in Beirut, the region is faced with all our war, Iran
has threatened to respond after the attack on a territory and
Israel has vowed to kill her mass leaders over the group's
October 7 attack on Israel. Now
Adam Curry: the thing that I couldn't show you here, they
showed a HELOC. copter you know those night vision shots of of
the guy safe house blowing up. So who was in the helicopter
filming it? It had to be the same people who shot from the
grassy knoll while
Unknown: in Teheran is my honey I was assassinated in a heinous
attack carried out by Israel. So how did this attack happen? Due
to the social media blackout imposed by Iran, we have very
few clues. However, TRT world evaluated potential scenarios
based on the available information. Whether it was a
rocket or drone attack, we know the direction it came from, the
attack might have been carried out with a mini drone or rocket
launched from the hills overlooking the building. This
possibility seems strong because the drone loaded with RDX
explosives and could achieve a low flame explosion that leaves
this kind of impact, or it might have been carried out from the
north of Tehran by an aircraft carrying a longer range missile.
We see that the roof on the side whether tack room is located is
intact. This indicates that the rocket or drone entered directly
through the window. Since there are no burn marks at the point
where the building was hit. The primary suspect is the US made
our MX hellfire missile. This weapon which has a range of 11
Kilometer must have been fired from an aircraft to hit the
building. Some Western media outlets claimed that a remotely
controlled explosive device was placed under his bed. Iranian
media on the other hand, argue that the attack was carried out
using a projectile
Adam Curry: and here's Al Jazeera
Unknown: to breaking news coming out of Iran now where the
Revolutionary Guard has released a statement on Hamas leader
Ismail honey as assassination. They say Hamas chief honey was
killed by firing a short range projectile with a warhead of
about seven kgs accompanied by a severe explosion from outside
his room. We'll have more on that
when we get us
Adam Curry: so AlJazeera says it was both
John C Dvorak: Well, there's some disinformation going around
for some reason this is being promoted since it's possible
that the first report is the is the right report, which is one
of these Hellfires that goes right into the window and kills
you and it was like wait a minute should we did we get you
know what we gave you that missile for this purpose? But
not you're supposed to tell brag about it you're just supposed to
Shut up What are we going to do now all will make up some
stories and so they now they have a confusion of stories one
says this one says that one says it's a drone one says it's a
missile one thing or after another and inside a bomb inside
there's there for a month and a half. And so it's possible to
just trying to muddy the waters and it was what it was to begin
with.
Adam Curry: I think there's reasons for that. Yeah. Do you
want to play on clips?
John C Dvorak: Yes, we got so all hell's breaking loose now
because they killed another guy. And and they're worried sick
about Lebanon. I want to play NPR. Well, yeah, but I have a
bunch of different clips and I want to at least get this one
out of the way which is this is there'll be some redundant
information. But let's start with Gaza update. One Israel's
army
Unknown: says it launched two airstrikes in the West Bank
today and killed nine Palestinian militants. The
attack came as tensions mount over a possible expansion of the
Mideast war to include Hezbollah militant forces in Lebanon,
Israel and Hezbollah have fought twice before but NPRs Greg Miry,
who covered both of those conflicts, says Hezbollah has a
greater advantage this time.
Hezbollah's arsenal of rockets supplied by Iran is
exponentially larger than before back in 2006. It was estimated
to be around 15,000. Now the estimate is 150,000. These are
larger, more precise weapons that can reach far deeper into
Israel, including Tel Aviv
ceasefire talks, meanwhile, have resumed in Egypt. The US is
beefing up its military presence in the Middle East. It's an
effort to defend Israel and protect US troops from possible
attacks by Iran and its proxies. MPRs Giuliana Kim reports
defense
secretary Lloyd Austin said he's sending more fighter jets to the
Middle East, as well as more Navy cruisers and destroyers to
that region and Europe. The new military measures are in
response to growing tensions between Israel and Iran after
top leaders from the militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah were
killed. On Saturday. Iran's Revolutionary Guard said Iran's
retaliation will be quote severe and quote According to Reuters,
Israel vowed to kill Hamas leaders in response to the
group's October 7 attack. The current conflict between Israel
and Hamas and the war in Gaza have nearly spanned 10 months
now remains to be seen how the recent assassinations will
affect on ongoing ceasefire talks. We
Adam Curry: have boots on the ground from the region, which
I'd like to share not too long from our dude named Muhammad.
And he picks up a thread that we started that you started
actually said ITM gents. Is it me? Or does it seem that every
single powerful Iranian or Iranian proxy figure vanishes
unexpectedly? It seems like someone is systematically
getting rid of them. After each assassination, there'll be a
couple of days or color of colorful rhetoric followed by
coordination for a very clean response that doesn't hurt
anyone, and brightly lit missiles or drones that are
intercepted by the Iron Dome. So both parties can claim some
victory and have some good visuals for their site for their
for their side social media accounts. The Iron Dome
showcases an extra ad break that all parties appreciate. Killing
the guy in an Iranian safe house is a little bit too much,
though. Just like atoms, Iranian friends, a lot of people in this
region think the Iranian regime is coordinating every step with
the US and Israel. I'm going to do I'm going to take that what a
great ad for the military industrial complex. And move
moving aircraft carrier move out boys move out more money,
beautiful ships, big beautiful ships to protect to protect our
troops.
John C Dvorak: So that was fascinating. Yeah, I agree with
that. I was fascinated with this idea. There's 150,000 missiles
ready to be shot at Israel. Yeah. And so there was an
expanded version of Meyer is a fact he comes on and reports on
this. In this three parter, this is the Lebanon Lebanon War. What
are we going to get to is this going to happen again or not?
Here we go.
Unknown: The United States is urging its citizens in Lebanon
leave the country immediately amid growing concerns of a
regional conflict in the Middle East. This follows two attacks
blamed on Israel this week, which killed leaders of
Hezbollah and Hamas. It prompted threats of retaliation. Israel
and the Lebanese group Hezbollah have fought two previous wars
won in 1996, the other in 2006 and prs. Greg, my recovered both
of those conflicts. He was recently reporting from Israel
and joins me now. Hey, Greg. Hi, Scott. Nice. Can you describe
how those two earlier wars started and then played out?
Yeah,
there were a number of similarities that still hold
true today. In both conflicts, Israel and Hezbollah were
exchanging regular but lower level fire just like now before
it escalated into a full scale war. Both times Israel thought
it would teach Hezbollah a quick and painful lesson. And that
fighting in 1996 was quite intense. But Hezbollah held its
ground and proved a much tougher opponent than Israel
anticipated. I covered that first war from the Lebanese
side. The fighting lasted more than two weeks. And then it
ended shortly after Israel fired on a Hezbollah position, but
missed the mark and hit Lebanese civilians taking shelter at a un
compound. More than 100 civilians were killed. This
caused international outrage, the fighting stopped, nothing
was resolved. Nothing
was resolved. And then another war a decade later in 2006.
Adam Curry: Wow, this is this is a deja vu of epic proportion.
It's classic. You know, when I was doing pirate radio in the
80s This song was like top of the charts, the Human League,
the Lebanon. Which was in itself a cycle of 1969. This is crazy.
It's just a cycle. It's time. You
John C Dvorak: mean cycles. Here we go into part two of this and
then another war a decade later in 2006.
Unknown: Yeah, Scott, the dynamics were very similar,
though this time the fighting was on a much larger scale. Both
sides fired rockets nonstop around the clock. Imagine this
rainbow of rockets flying in both directions across the
border. And bizarrely, one relatively safe place to be was
right on the border beneath this rainbow of rockets flying
overhead. So this time, I was on the Israeli side in the border
town of Missoula for much of the five week war, both sides
suffered heavy casualties. Neither side made any tangible
gains. And this war also ended in a draw. So we
have that context. We have this increased amount of tension and
concern right now and 2024. What do you think these two previous
wars suggest about what a third war might look like?
Well, a third one could be even more destructive. Hezbollah's
arsenal of rockets are supplied by Iran is exponentially larger
than before back in 2006. It was estimated to be around 15,000.
Now the estimate is 150,000. These are larger, more precise
weapons that can reach far deeper into Israel, including
Tel Aviv We've spoke about this with Paul Salem of the Middle
East Institute, who's based in Beirut.
Hezbollah is a very accomplished very tough, very well equipped,
very well trained and learns very quickly from war to war.
And the 2006 War was proof of what they'd learned from 1996.
And one must imagine that in 2024, they will even be much
more capable and more advanced.
Adam Curry: There is a dynamite phrase in that clip. Did you
catch it? No. Rainbow
Unknown: rainbow of rockets
Adam Curry: rainbow of rockets has been good show title rainbow
of rods down rainbow.
John C Dvorak: If you know it's almost reminds me of that joke
with a guy says I'm losing money on each watermelon. What do you
need to do to fix a problem buy more trucks? Which is
essentially what they're doing here with what's what did we
learn? What are we learning? We're smart learners. We need
more rockets. Yeah, that'll get so now they've got 150,000
rockets that they're going to launch into Israel if this thing
breaks out, which nobody wants. So this
Adam Curry: is where Trump's Iron Dome gets promoted. Men
build a big, beautiful,
John C Dvorak: the whole room. Everything is all interlinked.
It's all connected higher. So here we go at the end of this
with a some summary doesn't take us anywhere, really. But at
least it's worth knowing. Could
Unknown: the prospect of a clearly very damaging more keep
both sides from escalating beyond what we've seen?
Well, that's been the thinking since they started exchanging
fire 10 months ago, just after Hamas invaded southern Israel,
however, Israel killed this top Hezbollah leader with an
airstrike in Beirut on Tuesday. That's raised the prospect that
the fighting could escalate. Now, Paul Salem says Hezbollah
and Iran have made clear they don't want a major war. But they
now say that if Israel wants a full scale fight, they're ready
for it. We should note Lebanon faces chronic political and
economic problems and a war would be devastating. And Israel
is already stretched thin by the war in Gaza, a second front
would be a tremendous burden on that country. Salem and other
analysts say if Israel can work out a ceasefire with Hamas in
Gaza, that would almost certainly result in a ceasefire
with Hezbollah in general. That's
him. Perez Greg Myrick. Greg, thanks so much.
Sure. Thanks, Scott.
Adam Curry: Sure, Thanks, Scott. Well you know, I was talking to
the oil baron and you know, the shale in the US the shale oil
and thinking that we get tons Yeah, but I think the it's not
the cheapest oil no
John C Dvorak: Alberta's got more than we do you think Yeah,
but you
Adam Curry: need like 60 bucks a barrel minimum? I think for
John C Dvorak: sure that's why the shale all of a sudden when
price of oil stabilizes at a high number all of a sudden all
the shale oil comes online right so let's say when it drops back
to 40 they all shut down yes. So let's
Adam Curry: just say by the way the oil baron I think he he buys
mature fields and then you know so he turns them on and off
whenever he needs to they guess like some great business model
I'm trying it's basically
John C Dvorak: the oil business if you know what you're doing
you can do well you basically
Adam Curry: have to buy land a lot of land just got to keep
leasing leasing leasing so let's what has not happened what even
now is like oil is not skyrocketing in price it's not
happening. You've you've been tracking this better than I have
but it gets up at 85 It's not going to 150 We just don't see
it. But But isn't it about time art or life imitates art and we
sink a ship in the Straits of Hormuz isn't that was really
needed so we just blocked that whole thing that would really
shoot the oil price up which everybody wants Yeah, they seem
to yeah um then the oil baron can pick me up in his in his in
his jet and his jet from one of them will go fly and get one of
those shrimp deals. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: go to Vegas and have some shrimp over ice.
Adam Curry: You got anything else on Lebanon any other good
news?
John C Dvorak: I think that should cover it for now.
Unknown: I'm gonna show my move by Joe
nice to know Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh
yeah, that'd be
Adam Curry: a good point cotton gin, whatever happened to peak
oil? Whatever happened to that? I don't understand. So weird
peak or another

this is a little information for donors. She sent an express mail
which is a gyp which is a gyp because the regular mail does
just fine and it comes in at about the same time it doesn't
go into a special package. There were the days of air mail at the
Special Air Mail stamp in the 1950s and 60s is over over. All
the stuff goes in the same package. It just gets tracked
better. So she got it got track to Wednesday when I pick up the
mail I pick up the mail on Wednesdays and Saturdays. And
the mail came in according to her on the timestamp it came
into my postal Office at 930. They've already stuffed the mail
in the morning into the boxes. And so anything comes in during
the day just goes put aside gets put into next day didn't come
until Thursday. So don't go through the extra expensive
express mail unless there's a you know, you got gold coins or
something and even then I wouldn't do it. No. regular mail
works fine. Yeah,

John C Dvorak: she's worthy or beep
Adam Curry: I think
Unknown: eight But yay. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I know. Gotta get I only have one ISO. So I doubt
mine is gonna get picked. So I'll just play it. Sure.
Unknown: That doesn't help blacks at all
John C Dvorak: out of context of a racist click
Unknown: Yes.
Adam Curry: Yes. What you got
John C Dvorak: all right. I got three. One of these should be
okay. Let's start at the top but believe
Unknown: I believe every word.
Adam Curry: No, I liked that one. That's a good one.
John C Dvorak: I believe every word reward I like it. I like
it. We have Biden saying corny.
Unknown: sounds corny, but it's real.
Adam Curry: tough competition here.
John C Dvorak: That's a good one. Yeah. And then come back
Unknown: and we're gonna come back and do it again. It's
Adam Curry: cut off. It's too bad. Disqualified. Well, let me
hear these two again, because they're kind of good. Let me
see. I listen to this again. I believe
Unknown: every word sounds corny, but it's real.
Adam Curry: I think we have to go with Biden sounds corny, but
it's real. That's
John C Dvorak: good, but they're all good as far as I'm
concerned. Very cut off we're good. Everybody
Adam Curry: we're time to end the show. But first
Unknown: JC That's right, everybody just at times. No,
Adam Curry: it's never me. It's always JCD that's right
everybody. Time for the tip. Tip of the day, John, what kind of
tip Do you Is it another lube?
John C Dvorak: Everybody Oh more lubes for a while. I will This
is something some one of our producers sent in and she was
moaning about not she wanted to get off the house filled with
with Wi Fi and so what she's looking at home plug which is
the old word for the powerline network adapter and wouldn't
recommend these things. And I'm going to tell you a little bit
about
Adam Curry: and tell everyone what it is because she didn't
understand exactly what it was how our line
John C Dvorak: network adapter, this is using your power lines
within the home to overlay a signal, a networking signal, a
Ethernet signal on top of when you can like if I plugged in the
the source up in my office, I can go pick up the power line, I
put plug in another adapter down in a power line somewhere down
by the kitchen or the front room or whatever. And it will send
the signal across very easy to to install, they use the Find Me
button, you know little button you push and you push the button
on one, you push the button on the other and they both the link
up. And you can have multiple networks by the way in the same
house from different sources. So you can have like two or three
different networks on top of each other. And so what you want
to look for on the day. So that's the basics of powerline
network adapting, and it will reduce the amount of RF in the
house if you unless you get a Wi Fi extender version of these
things. So this is going to be a little lecture on the technology
of namely the nomenclature. You want to look if you're looking
to buy these things you want to look for a V 1000 Or a v 2000.
That's the speed as a gig as a gigabit connection. Never as
wrote true gigabit but doesn't fall off like Wi Fi Wi Fi is no
good because it Triple G is a gigabit Avi 1000 is one gigabit
av 2000s. The newest technology is two gigabits and they're all
backward compatible to av 200. The original is av 200 than
506 100 than 1012 102,000. And they all inner work they work
fine together, which is great. Two brands that I like are
tender, and TP Link. And those are the two of the most popular,
they're dirt cheap, they're like 3040 bucks for one of the
connections, you plug in a regular Ethernet cable into the
hole in the bottom. And it plugged the Ethernet cable into
whatever you're hooking it up to TV sets are perfect for this by
the way smart TVs that you want to get a good connection without
using Wi Fi. You use one of these powerline network adapters
now, no, here's the things you need to know if you want to
reduce your Wi Fi don't get a version that says Wi Fi
extension. Those versions of the same same exact product, but it
has a Wi Fi at the end one of the two things you don't want
that no? Well you do if you want Wi Fi. Oh, okay. But so you have
you have a Wi Fi and one of the the and you so you plug it into
your router at the base station and then it goes to the to the
plug that goes into the wall someplace in the house and it
could have a Wi Fi on it. Now there are some and I would look
for these I liked the idea of the Wi Fi extender. If it has an
off switch, a little switch on the bond that turns off the Wi
Fi. So for example, I have this hook to like the dining room I
will once these things are established by the way we want
you to push the two buttons, you can unplug them and then plug
them in a time you want this to connect up. So I'll take one of
these things, which is just sitting around and I'll plug it
into the dining room it's already ready it's already been
connected previously and then flip on the Wi Fi so if people
in the dining room want to get their phone to talk to Wi Fi or
guard their laptop or whatever they get an excellent connection
this connection will be twice to four times the speed of Wi Fi
which degree people don't realize this Yeah, you get a
gigabit Wi Fi it by the time it gets to wherever it's going it's
slow down to 1/4 the speed just kidding Oh fourth, no or less.
And by the way can't deliver over distance can
Adam Curry: I add a tip to the to your tip can I put my tip
against your tip
John C Dvorak: you did sounds doesn't sound
Adam Curry: right I'm sorry. You What is not recommended is using
an extension cord with your wire line that does not work very
well if at all I've noticed no
John C Dvorak: you had to put it right into the wall
Adam Curry: structions you got I'm just telling everybody don't
think that you can use an extension so
John C Dvorak: I would recommend using these a they're faster.
They work fine. Your Adam's a ham was constantly signaling out
there do original versions of these things that some of the
earlier ones interfered with ham transmissions. There were worse
than that. candlish Yes, they became scandalous and out of
vogue. A lot of them if you turn on a blender for example. It'll
interrupt the signal because the blenders variable Is
Adam Curry: the pioneering days of wireline this. Most of these,
John C Dvorak: these problems have been resolved. This is a
terrific, understated technology up to two gigabits I mean, it's
pretty amazing. You only need I think 2425 gig or megabits per
second to get a 4k TV so you can use this as a great technology
works
Adam Curry: terrific because it's good, good tip.
John C Dvorak: Long the longest Tip of the day you'll ever hear
I
Adam Curry: do have a bonus public service announcement from
void zero. Regarding the troll room. He says we enabled the
nickname registration requirement in the chat in 2016,
after a severe attack from spam bots made it necessary. But he
says it's not a big deal. The email addresses only used for a
verification code. And for when someone forgets their password,
we don't use the email address for anything else. I that's
mark, don't even share the email addresses with anyone so not
even John and Adam can access those. So we can't add you to
the mailing list. That's a bummer. So there you go. We
docked we tips. That's your tip of the day.
Unknown: And now John C Devorah. With the tip of the day.

bucket. There's a moment you're you're young, someone vandalizes
Donald Trump's car. That's the setup and then about this
moment, right, you say in words. I recall him saying look with
the N words.
