0:08
episode 1595. This is no agenda favoring favelas and
0:15
broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country here in
0:18
FEMA Region number six. In the morning, everybody. I'm I'm
0:20
sorry, John C Dvorak: Ken from Northern Silicon Valley. We're Canada's
0:24
not requiring podcasters to register yet. I'm Justin
0:32
Adam Curry: Hill. Well, I didn't expect this to be the first item
0:37
on the menu. But I have I have some thoughts about this.
0:41
John C Dvorak: Well, as you as everyone knows, yes, for the
0:45
last 20 years, yes, I've been predicting this, predicting what
0:51
exactly that we are going to eventually have to register as
0:55
podcasters. Well, Adam Curry: but we already have a podcast license, so we're kind
0:58
of good to go. John C Dvorak: Well, that was that's our hope. The actually
1:05
the good just grandfather, our podcast licensees in that would
1:09
be easily Adam Curry: easily. So the idea is that now Canada already had a
1:14
candidate by the way, I'm not against the basic premise of if
1:18
you have a publicly funded while it's raining i crazier if you
1:21
have publicly funded media, which Canada does they also have
1:24
commercial radio, but let's just publicly funded media. And then
1:29
they John C Dvorak: put bubbles, they funded their newspapers.
1:32
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, that's, that's a different story, put
1:34
that off to the side, stick a pin in it. And France does this.
1:39
And I think the UK had some regulation at some point, that
1:43
if you're playing music as an example, you need to play a
1:48
certain amount of national product. And if it's Public
1:51
Media, I'm not necessarily against that. But that somehow
1:56
morphed into the online, what do they call this the CRC CRTC,
2:01
which is the Canadian regulator. They had the online streaming
2:07
services, regulation. And to me, that still is for music and not
2:14
necessarily for Canadian news or anything like that. There's
2:18
really, although we're starting it now with podcasting 2.0,
2:21
there's really not a lot of music and podcasting. So now
2:24
they say, Well, yeah, we need to, we were probably going to
2:27
have to have podcast companies that offer audio or video
2:33
content and generate more than $10 million in annual revenues
2:37
to also register. And so that's kind of being turned into Oh,
2:41
it'll be podcast as well. So I think there's a lot of people
2:44
jumping on this trying to make a big noise and you know, so that
2:47
they pay attention to them. Yeah, I'm a podcaster. Not him
2:51
over my dead body. Jordan Peterson, that Jordan Peterson
2:58
he just might make $10 million. I don't know. But this would be
3:03
more for literally an outfit like like the daily wire even
3:09
though I doubt the day as an American company have to
3:12
register in Canada. And that's kind of the crazy thing about it
3:16
is like it's you have to be in Canada, or do you have to have
3:19
do you have to talk to Canada if you're talking about Canada and
3:22
what do they want to do with this? It makes no sense. Makes
3:26
no sense. Hello, hello? Yeah, no, but I think you're right
3:34
eventually there will be registration I don't know if
3:37
that'll happen here. But Canada Yeah, sure. Europe Absolutely. I
3:43
was in Houston yesterday John C Dvorak: yes you went to Houston
3:48
Adam Curry: I did I did for the Spark Media Ignite conference. I
3:54
don't spark me it's it's a podcast conference for God
3:59
casters I did the keynote John C Dvorak: how many God casters are there home man? This
4:05
Are you the podcaster and the what podcasts are God casts you
4:12
put together put God God cast God caster for God cast a good
4:18
podcast they surprised Adam Curry: me with a lifetime achievement award which I was
4:21
not expecting. Which is always kind of weird. It's like this My
4:25
life is over now. I'm done. Thanks for your ad you know, I
4:29
was like you know it feels like oh man. I don't feel good about
4:34
John C Dvorak: like it's called the pathetic End of Life Award
4:40
that they give out to people that maybe could have won some
4:42
more awards this give you this and you can die in peace
4:46
Adam Curry: Yeah, I guess that was it. That was it there's
4:50
there's God casters have quite you know the Focus on the Family
4:54
guys. They have millions of listeners is unbelievable.
4:57
That's pretty pretty big. But you know what you do? On here at
5:00
a god caster conference. You don't people don't come up to
5:03
you and say, Hey man, how many downloads you got? That you
5:06
don't hear? Not from a single person. Where's
5:09
John C Dvorak: any of you heard that anywhere? Adam Curry: In the podcast industrial complex. Oh, yeah. Oh
5:16
absolutely, man, how many downloads you have for that show? How is horrible? It's
5:20
John C Dvorak: already always did you always end with the Belch? No.
5:25
Adam Curry: No, this horrible people are horrible. But
5:29
John C Dvorak: bless because they know that anyone in the in
5:32
the in the god casting business have relatively no doubt. It's
5:36
not that's not true. Adam Curry: That's not true. Yeah, I was surprised. I was
5:41
surprised to see that. The audience size. You know, the big
5:45
was the audience as I said, again, as I said, the Focus on
5:48
the Family podcast. Let's guys have like 4 million listeners
5:52
John C Dvorak: I think people our way,
5:56
Adam Curry: you know, they're big no agenda, guys, they send they talk about us all the time.
6:00
John C Dvorak: Well, that's nice. I don't see it in today's
6:02
donations. Adam Curry: Speaking of speaking of donations, you know, I'm glad
6:08
that we that we at least do donations, you see New York
6:12
Public Radio, they're going to cut 12% of their workforce,
6:16
which first of all, it's amazing. That W NYC how many how
6:21
many people? Do you think they have full time for a public
6:24
radio station in New York? And I'll I'll preface this by saying
6:28
when I worked at z 100 in New York, the number one station the
6:32
market at the time in the in the early 90s. I think that 25
6:37
people and that included Bubba the love sponge who did the the
6:40
prize man. How many people do you think New York Public Radio
6:44
WNYC implies John C Dvorak: employs more than I would have to is New York big.
6:49
Yeah. So I would say 25 341 340
6:57
Adam Curry: full time employees John C Dvorak: they had to cut 10% Or what was it? Yes. And do
7:02
you know that? That's 30 people that's the number people are
7:05
cutting or less than the total number of people that you had at
7:08
that other station. Adam Curry: So you have the radio lab. You've heard the
7:13
radio lab podcast, radio you've heard that show? Yeah. 22 people
7:21
work on that show alone 22 I mean, this something went wrong
7:29
and radio anyway, the listen to
7:33
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Laugh all at once you go to the public
7:36
coffers, you know.
7:40
Adam Curry: But it's not really public coffers. I mean, it's,
7:43
it's they get very little from, you know, they get from the big
7:47
foundations. That's where they get their money. LaFawn TIF
7:49
John C Dvorak: foundation money, same public coffers. Listen, the
7:52
New York Public Radio's Adam Curry: president and CEO His name is LePhone tan Oliver.
7:57
That's your problem right there. You got a CEO named LaFontaine
8:01
Oliver. That's an expensive operation. Where'd this guy come
8:04
from? The Ford Foundation sounds expensive. Sounds very
8:07
expensive. He said in a memo to employees now listen to this. So
8:12
where did they get their money from again? John C Dvorak: public coffers,
8:17
Adam Curry: in a memo sent to employees that quote, a free
8:20
fall in the advertising market had led to the decision to cut
8:24
staff. John C Dvorak: This reminds me that I was getting some clips
8:28
from it. I didn't do do this clip. But I just want to mention
8:30
it because kind of part of this. I'm been listening to NPR. Yeah.
8:36
And they had an ad for Squarespace. That was clearly an
8:40
ad with a call to action. You know, go get the code, whereas
8:45
bait they gave the website the whole thing is completely out of
8:49
control with public broadcasting. Adam Curry: And we knew this in 2009. We were already
8:54
complaining about NPR selling ads and they're not they're not
9:00
sponsored or brought to you by that literally selling ads here
9:03
is and they had a downfall in 2009. If you recall, Okay,
9:07
moving on Unknown: to money. How are NPR is corporate underwriting
9:11
revenues holding up in the recession? And what about
9:14
foundation grants? So this Adam Curry: so there you go. That's that was that was the
9:17
question. He was the lady who was running all of NPR at the
9:20
time her answer Unknown: to different stories. Underwriting is underwriting is
9:27
is down it's down for everybody. I mean, this is this is the this
9:31
is the area that is most down for us is in is in sponsorship,
9:35
underwriting advertising, call it whatever you want to call
9:38
Adam Curry: it, whatever you want. advertise its advertising.
9:41
The same people who sell radio ads for commercial ad.
9:45
commercial stations. Sell NPR it's a farce. It's a farce. It's
9:51
a farce farce. I love the word farce
9:54
John C Dvorak: because it's a good word. Yeah, he just didn't hear you say it much. It's funny. It
9:58
Adam Curry: sounds so much like fart you know, so you can say force force force force anyway so this is this is truly the
10:06
only John C Dvorak: answer over 300 people working there doing what?
10:10
I know we have even if you had 20 people doing ad sales you
10:16
still have 280 people doing what?
10:20
Adam Curry: I really don't know. I really don't know I mean 22
10:24
People on the radio lab show and this is insane well look
10:30
everyone when it's all over this is all over Spotify spent a
10:34
billion dollars everyone got all jacked up and then it was over.
10:38
It's over. It's done people he's done. Anyway, the reason why I
10:44
brought up Houston is not to a tout my lifetime achievement
10:47
award. But I got a lot of what is it say? What
10:50
John C Dvorak: kind of an award was it a big giant trophy? Was
10:53
it a big thing like a sumo wrestler guys who was it a
10:56
little plaque? Or was it something a glass thing?
10:59
Adam Curry: It's like a wrestler belt? Yeah. It was glass. It's a
11:05
glass thing glass mount lasting glass thing? You know, it looks
11:08
like like big was this glass thing? I'd say about the size
11:14
about the size of a large hand you know its size large hands.
11:18
Yes. Like a large hand like my hand you know and that and that
11:21
mounted on a nice hands on a piece of wood handsome piece of
11:25
wood? Yes. John C Dvorak: Give it you know, I've said this. I don't want to
11:33
interrupt your story. But I said this before I'm gonna say it
11:36
again. And then I'm going to maybe do something about it.
11:40
Okay, please. We should have the no agenda podcasting awards.
11:45
Make something official. We're the experts. Let's face it, when
11:50
it comes to what's good and what's bad in the world of
11:52
podcasting. And we should do the award I wouldn't award ceremony
11:56
and those little glass things are cheap to make and
12:01
Adam Curry: didn't look cheap and look nice. Look my car we
12:05
don't even even have to give the people
12:07
John C Dvorak: anything. Physical certificate will work.
12:10
It doesn't matter. Yeah. But it fire up the printer. Printer.
12:16
But yeah, well, just beside the point, the Alternative Media
12:20
Awards. Now the we bought media dot award, we keep
12:25
Adam Curry: talking about this. And we'll you know, we'll be
12:27
long gone. And people remember those John C Dvorak: things. So I think we're I think this is the
12:32
upcoming year 2024 is the year of the award. We're going to
12:36
we're going to do it. Do you know how many talk and you know,
12:40
I've always said this? I don't like the idea of talking to no
12:42
action. I hate it. Wow.
12:45
Adam Curry: said Mr. Action, please. Well, there's a lot of
12:52
podcasts of words, that's a problem. There must be fifth, I
12:55
don't know of any. Ah, they just had the British Podcast Awards.
12:59
They had the black Podcast Awards. They had the last night
13:02
in fact, while I was getting an award at the SPARC media ignite
13:06
awards, was the Podcast Awards by blueberry Todd you know the
13:11
Todd runs those he's done them for 17 years. And he's now
13:16
completely virtual. Now there's a whole bunch of different
13:21
awards. Maybe we should just do the the pride podcast pride
13:27
awards. How about that? There's there's a category we can
13:30
imagine what fun we'd have with those entrance coolest color
13:35
hair best teacher award the best teacher podcast I can just
13:42
imagine I don't know it's it seems like a loser to me.
13:47
John C Dvorak: Why is it a loser is publicity you get the award
13:51
out there Adam Curry: about a single one of these Podcast Awards there's
13:55
no published that's John C Dvorak: because they're they're no good that we can do
14:00
them Adam Curry: and how much do we charge for entry entry fee
14:04
because they'll charge an entry fee this this is the scam
14:08
John C Dvorak: that is a scam by the way. Yeah, it's done. Same
14:11
thing with wine awards every all these award things. They're all
14:14
you have to you have to pay him money to get nominated. Yeah,
14:18
it's a scam we have to do. I hate to say it. No entry fee we
14:22
just pick Adam Curry: well, how do we make money on this scam then
14:27
John C Dvorak: value for value? Adam Curry: Interesting. We can get sponsors.
14:34
John C Dvorak: That's fine to get sponsors. All right. And I
14:37
don't like the idea. I think it's it's
14:40
Adam Curry: and we have the troll corrupt. The troll award
14:44
was the one that the trolls choose. John C Dvorak: Yeah, maybe that's an interesting idea.
14:50
Adam Curry: All right. So the reason why I brought up Houston.
14:53
Yeah, I'm wondering is because people are confirming it to me,
14:58
this colony reg D Y'all north of Houston. This is the big
15:02
development that I we've only seen by air where there must be
15:07
no 25,000 homesteads apparently it's all trailers and this is
15:11
where the migrants are now being given 12% unsecured loans for a
15:19
trailer. And, and I was reading this article because, you know,
15:27
the Texas Attorney General who who did not get kicked out. He
15:32
is saying I'm gonna go after this now and he is when he what
15:35
he's calling it. He's calling it shanty town of favela. And I
15:40
thought, wow. And I thought, yeah, this is exactly what you
15:43
said. And and although people are horrified. Is it really a
15:48
bad idea? John C Dvorak: Sure they should. They're basically selling them
15:53
trailers, right? Yeah. And shanty towns are going to be
15:56
mostly trailer parks. Now. Do you remember this is not a new
16:01
idea. Do you remember I think it was during George Bush
16:05
administration when the FEMA was bringing all these trailers into
16:11
Florida or wherever the hurricane went. And they were
16:14
poisoning people with formaldehyde poisoning, because
16:18
the trailers are poorly made. Adam Curry: That Well, I thought that was Katrina wasn't like
16:22
Katrina. Katrina. Yeah, it was formaldehyde trailers. Yeah.
16:26
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the formaldehyde trailers that FEMA
16:29
was bringing in and putting people in, I think a favela or a
16:33
shanty town completely made out of trailers. So as a giant
16:37
trailer park is, is a fabulous concept.
16:41
Adam Curry: I was talking to two people last night who had been
16:45
on a mission to Brazil, and they went into the favelas and or the
16:51
shanty towns. And they said, No, it was actually quite
16:54
interesting, because, you know, they'll knock on doors and you
16:57
know, I have you been saved by Jesus. But they will go in and
17:01
these people would have expensive wristwatches and
17:03
beautiful televisions on the wall, which kind of just kind of
17:06
goes to your, to your basic idea that yeah, it looks crappy. But
17:11
it's not like it isn't an actual economy and doesn't work. It's
17:14
just it's, you know, oh, we're horrified by the idea, but I
17:18
don't see what what other what option there is.
17:20
John C Dvorak: There is none. I think you're right.
17:24
Adam Curry: The Unlike Europe, where they have completely gone
17:27
to problem reaction, and here's the solution part. L the big
17:32
muckety mucks got together, they had they're working on a deal.
17:35
Listen carefully to what they're doing about the migration. I'm
17:38
sorry, it's irregular immigration in the EU, European
17:44
Unknown: Union has been trying to regulate its efforts to deal
17:46
with the migrant crisis for years. And now finally,
17:49
agreement, maybe close cherished crisis
17:52
Adam Curry: proposal gained a huge support. By the way, all
17:56
these people, they don't this is not no one gets to vote on this.
17:59
This. They're just this is commission work. They just doing
18:02
it. And they're all getting together, and then all the B
18:05
rolls and I'm laughing and patting each other on the back.
18:08
And John C Dvorak: I have to say, I have to say the EU has taken the
18:11
admitted, admitted. Ministry Ministry of State, I can't say
18:16
it administrators state to an extreme. I mean, it's like let's
18:22
take this idea which the Americans developed. And let's
18:26
institutionalize it. Adam Curry: It's unbelievable. And they're all but they're all
18:30
just hanging out, you know, the Oh, and you know, they go to
18:33
Malta, they go to Brussels is always a different location,
18:36
different location, Unknown: because you have find the right balance that member
18:40
states will support. And again, I'm sure that in a few days, we
18:43
will also have the formal decision on the general approach
18:46
on the on the crisis proposal, and that is very much a welcome.
18:50
Adam Curry: So just don't worry, we'll have a proposal a balance,
18:54
you know what that means, don't you balance. That means Hey,
18:58
everybody's getting some and you get some migrants and you get
19:01
some migrants and you get some migrants.
19:03
Unknown: This step forward for the migration and asylum pact is
19:06
significant. It allows the EU to extend the detention of migrants
19:10
arriving in the block. It will also compel members with
19:13
external borders to deploy more micro processing centers.
19:17
Adam Curry: Don't worry, Moore's coming, but you just make more
19:20
migrant processing centers, everything's okay. We're not
19:22
going to change anything, just have more processing centers, so
19:26
it doesn't look so bad Unknown: collectively, that could deter and improve
19:30
authorities ability to deal with the huge numbers arriving on
19:33
Europe's shores this year. The move will come as a relief and
19:38
not just to those working on the frontlines of the crisis. German
19:41
objections have been the last roadblock to progress on the
19:44
deal. Those failed just as the country announced plans to boost
19:47
checkpoints at its borders, Poland and the Czech Republic.
19:51
Others have already made similar moves after Italy Slovenia said
19:54
it was tightening controls at its border with Croatia.
19:57
Adam Curry: Now this here's the problem. The whole idea behind
20:00
the European Union will really two things. The most important
20:04
is the euro, get rid of your money, you're done. We control
20:07
you because we control your money. The second one, no
20:10
borders, Schengen, no borders, everybody can cross around, do
20:15
whatever you want work in any country. And this was the big
20:18
European promise. This was the big dream of like the United
20:22
States of Europe. You know, this is what it was and now it's it's
20:26
in jeopardy without him. Then I like to
20:29
Unknown: stress that this is not about establishing internal
20:31
control, but about reinforce compensatory measures,
20:35
Adam Curry: compensatory measures. They just want to get
20:39
paid. That's not what that means. Compensatory measures.
20:44
Come Yeah, exactly what it means. Yeah, hey, Joe, it's okay
20:48
bring him in. But we just need to get paid Come on, and your
20:50
pay is Unknown: at risk could be a founding principle of the EU
20:54
itself. The free movement of people inside the Schengen area
20:57
of the block has been described as one of the main achievements
21:00
of the European project men, the migrant crisis may have
21:03
threatened that you came from the field as in a way of fighting so that the
21:07
European Union's internal borders can be kept open. We
21:11
need this European solution. Otherwise, Schengen is in
21:14
danger. Authorities in Germany alone have recorded more than 204,000
21:19
asylum applications this year, up 78% Compared to 2022, doesn't
21:25
even include the 1.1 million Ukrainian refugees who fled the
21:29
war with Russia. Adam Curry: I forgot that and the Ukrainian refugees. And as
21:32
we discussed in the last show, this is all a giant United
21:36
Nations project it's been going on for here. I have another
21:39
document that I put in the show notes, like that migration
21:42
replacement document from 2000. In the EU, Henry Kissinger 1974
21:49
We need to create conditions conducive to fertile fertility
21:53
decline. So we need to watch Yes,
21:57
John C Dvorak: for Where did you get that one. This
21:59
Adam Curry: is from his own, from his own un study here for
22:03
its own merits and consistent with the recommendations who
22:06
John C Dvorak: published this, the UN, for its most UN has got
22:12
to go Adam Curry: well for its own merits and consistent with this
22:15
is Henry Kissinger, and consistent with the
22:17
recommendations of the world population plan of action.
22:22
priority should be given in the general aid program to selective
22:26
development policies in sectors offering the greatest promise of
22:31
increased motivation for smaller family size. In many cases,
22:37
pilot programs and experimental research will be needed as
22:40
guidance for later efforts on a larger scale, like sterilizing
22:45
your kids. The preferential sectors in sectors include
22:49
providing minimal levels of education, especially for women.
22:53
I'll read that again, meaningful education levels, especially for
22:57
women below that John C Dvorak: can be read either way, of course. Yeah.
23:01
Yeah. Let's let's assume they mean it in a positive way.
23:07
Adam Curry: That's hard for me to do. Well, in increasing
23:12
income of the poorest, especially in rural areas,
23:14
including providing privately owned farms. Isn't that kind of
23:18
the favela Fabella idea.
23:22
John C Dvorak: I think it's more of the Homestead idea. Anyway,
23:25
negative attitude here. Adam Curry: I'm sorry. But where's this really coming from?
23:30
You see these boats coming over? And this is this is the pretty
23:34
much the only thing the mainstream media shows that I
23:37
can find at least, this is all NGOs. This is all
23:42
nongovernmental organizations, and a non governmental
23:46
organization gets money receives money from the government to do
23:51
certain tasks. Austin has a billion dollar NGO
23:56
John C Dvorak: to breathe air now there's your exit strategy
23:59
to Adam Curry: resettle migrants asylum seekers in the United
24:07
States. Now listen to this Unknown: European Union ministers responsible for
24:11
migration gathered to try and hammer out to green.
24:14
Adam Curry: I like on even like the way that that title reads.
24:17
The ministers responsible for migration. They're responsible
24:22
for it. They're not they're not responsible for stopping it. No,
24:26
the European Minister ministers, they have ministers whose job it
24:29
is, is to bring in migrants. Unknown: European Union ministers responsible for
24:33
migration gathered to try and hammer out agreement on a
24:36
proposed migration and asylum pact. Discussions yielded no
24:41
final deal. Spain, which currently holds the EU
24:45
presidency struck an upbeat tone saying that the talks that
24:48
underscored the need to tackle the migrant crisis. The pact on
24:53
migration is today more than ever unnecessary agreement we
24:57
cannot do without it. It is one of our most immediate challenges
25:02
require flexibility, effort and generosity. From all of us. I
25:07
open up for questions the US Top migration official Ylva
25:10
Johansson was also upbeat saying an agreement was imminent
25:14
Adam Curry: this woman's a piece of work this is this is Oh man,
25:18
you know the hair, you know that the jacket she's wearing, you
25:22
know the jewel she's wearing. And she's Oh, she's a beat
25:25
Unknown: because I'm sure that in a few days, we will also have
25:28
the formal decision on the General Post on the on the
25:31
crisis proposal. And that is very much a welcome, welcome.
25:35
clash between Germany and Italy in talks stalled progress. One
25:40
sticking point was over the role of NGO charity ships conducting
25:43
migrant rescue operations in the Mediterranean.
25:46
Adam Curry: So all you have to do is get on a rubber boat look
25:49
dangerous and then you send up the flare and work period comes
25:52
the NGO boat. Well, don't worry, we'll take you to safety
25:55
Unknown: chain VAs to lose Foreign Minister meeting his
25:58
German counterpart in Berlin spelled out Italian concerns.
26:03
Organizational motivation, nobody's waging a war against
26:07
NGOs. We only say however, they cannot be as frantic said sort
26:12
of magnet to attract irregular migrants irregular within let's
26:16
say, always brought to the clock is ticking on sealing a deal that is vital to address
26:23
the migrant crisis in Europe. Officials say an agreement needs
26:26
to be in place by February, with the European elections due in
26:30
June. This was an estimated quarter of a million irregular
26:33
arrivals in the EU so far this year.
26:36
Adam Curry: So they have to get some kind of deal done before
26:39
the elections. Why? Because someone else comes in and then
26:43
they get the NGO money, as sounds very suspect. It's not
26:50
good. John C Dvorak: It's interesting. These NGOs are the are the
26:56
subversive, modern version of subversive Marxist,
27:01
Adam Curry: not even so subversive. We just no one talks
27:05
about them that no one has given John C Dvorak: them and then the government pays for it. Yeah. Be
27:10
like paying for your own demise. I mean, and I'm gonna hire a
27:14
hitman to go after me. And,
27:18
Adam Curry: and this stuff happens all over our own
27:20
country, where NGOs or nonprofits, you know,
27:25
advertising whatever you want to call it. They get money from,
27:31
from city governments, local municipalities, and they have no
27:35
incentive at all to solve problems. That's that's one of
27:39
Austin's big problems. We got homeless and I we need another
27:42
$600 million to solve that problem. They have and what do
27:47
they do with it? Oh, let's go buy hotels, let's stick them in
27:50
hotels, let's spend it on hotels. The hotel thing is
27:54
phenomenal. It's really I mean, this is. So now in Los Angeles,
27:59
even though it's not just irregular migrants, which I
28:03
think is a great term. The homeless, now Los Angeles has a
28:08
solution. They're not going to buy up hotels. No, no, no.
28:14
Here's the What is this outfit, the America the hotel and
28:21
accommodation organization, the LA chapter. They have not these
28:28
guys. But the city has a proposal what to do with
28:30
homeless and irregular migrants in Los Angeles. The fight that
28:34
we have in Los Angeles is one of the worst public policy ideas,
28:40
perhaps the worst public policy idea I've ever heard of. And
28:42
that is to take the homeless population that deserve a
28:47
serious solution to a serious problem. And try to patchwork
28:51
that problem by placing them in hotels alongside regular tours
28:56
to families and paying guests. This sounds great.
29:01
Unknown: And he's gonna tell us why it's great. It is a disaster
29:04
waiting to happen. It doesn't help the homeless. I love the
29:08
industry almost overnight. I mean, look, consumers have
29:12
choices. Look, they don't have to go to Los Angeles, they only
29:14
have to go to California, they can choose somewhere else. But
29:17
if they want to go to the LA area, they can simply choose a
29:20
hotel outside of Los Angeles. That's not that difficult. No
29:24
consumers can want to actively make a selection where they know
29:28
that a homeless population is going to be in the room right
29:31
next to them or at the swimming pool or in the in the lobby. I
29:36
mean, these are people this population that needs help. It
29:39
is a serious issue. They need medical professional help. hotel
29:42
workers are not trained for this and to put them in that type of
29:46
danger. It is a terrible idea. What we know for certain won't
29:51
work and should never even be proposed is this idea of mixing
29:55
that population with the regular traveler, the mom and dad that
29:59
are trying to kill For kids on vacation, right, terrible idea
30:03
that is dangerous for the guests, but more importantly
30:05
dangerous for the hotel workers that have to come to work each
30:09
and every day and try to deal with a situation for which
30:12
they've never been trained. Homelessness is a very serious
30:15
issue that we all believe should be dealt with in a serious
30:18
manner. This particular proposal is not serious. It's very
30:23
dangerous. We certainly want to make sure it stops here in Los
30:26
Angeles so that no other municipality in the country try
30:29
something that's dangerous. Beyond your freedom
30:40
John C Dvorak: about how about making it a tourist attraction
30:45
kind of like us, you can live next to a homeless stay at the
30:50
Hilton Adam Curry: at the swim with the homeless. It's like swimming
30:53
with Adult Swim with the homeless sickness lifts Swimming
30:56
with dolphins John C Dvorak: poop in the halls.
31:02
Adam Curry: Speaking of poop in San Diego has a great idea.
31:05
Unknown: Many downtown public restrooms have been overwhelmed
31:08
by drug use people with mental illnesses and sanitary issues,
31:13
folks, especially families with young children don't feel
31:15
comfortable. And paying $15 for a 15 minute bathroom break makes
31:20
a lot of sense. Hundreds of people have been signing up for
31:23
the rest space app. Just as it starts to make a name for
31:27
itself. Posts make 70% of the fee and rest space takes 30
31:31
Adam Curry: So you can rent out your bathroom on an app.
31:35
John C Dvorak: Guys and Adam Curry: people can poop in your house like
31:37
John C Dvorak: ride sharing. Shit sharing.
31:43
Adam Curry: It would have been a great show title if it wasn't.
31:46
Yeah, share, share your bathroom poop share. That's great. That
31:51
means someone's gonna have to at a certain point someone has to
31:54
say hey, I have a cause here my causes this has to stop. This
31:58
has to stop John C Dvorak: to stop. It's not gonna stop
32:03
Adam Curry: boots on the ground. The Biden is in administration.
32:06
This is an ice boots on the ground has turned ice ready into
32:11
a travel agency. They stopped apprehending anyone because they
32:16
do what they're instructed to do, which was a lease and often
32:19
have to facilitate transportation to other states
32:21
as requested by the detained illegal. They've largely just
32:27
stopped working because they have no authority to go to North
32:30
Dakota to do anything to enforce immigration laws, even if they
32:34
are criminals. So ice is you know, we were talking about the
32:38
small town cop who couldn't even get ice on the phone just kept
32:40
getting voicemail because they can pay. They're getting paid to
32:45
sit at a desk, go to the gym, and just wait for the next
32:49
administration to come in which may or may not be better you
32:51
never know. John C Dvorak: Well, it sounds like a people job. You're
32:55
looking for a job that's the place to work.
32:59
Adam Curry: Now, if you thought that was bad, the land of Abba,
33:05
the land of Spotify, the land of the Swedish Chef is falling
33:11
apart. Unknown: Swedish Prime Minister of christison has vowed to
33:15
defeat criminal gangs after recent surge and violent attacks
33:18
is Collins's photo a series of explosions reportedly connected
33:21
to a gang war. The centre right politicians slammed quote
33:25
irresponsible immigration and failed integration. On Thursday,
33:30
Kristen also said he had someone to the head of the military to
33:33
discuss how the armed forces can help police deal with this
33:36
unprecedented crime wave on Monday and Tuesday, two powerful
33:40
blasts ripped through residential buildings in the
33:42
center of the country injuring at least three people while
33:45
three others were killed overnight Wednesday and separate
33:47
attacks. bombings and drive by shootings have claimed dozens of
33:50
lives in September alone two gangs one led by a Swedish
33:54
Turkish June national who lives in Turkey the other bias former
33:57
lieutenants are reportedly involved in the feud over drugs
34:00
and weapons. Adam Curry: That is gang warfare now.
34:05
John C Dvorak: This gang warfare inserts right
34:09
Adam Curry: in Sweden. Well place doesn't sound right and
34:13
John C Dvorak: says all sounds sweet and come on mouth.
34:15
Adam Curry: South squeed. Malmo? Yeah, sure. Yeah. In New York
34:21
City, they almost had the right idea knows how we got all these
34:25
irregular migrants and I'm just making jokes about it. These of
34:29
course, are people. I mean, we can we can't stop seeing them as
34:32
human beings. They tried to wash them off the streets.
34:36
Unknown: It's a historic deluge in the New York City area, which
34:39
has drenched the locals. Heavy rainfall caused significant
34:43
disruption to communities public transport and flooded several
34:46
basements. As authorities scramble the downpour brought
34:50
back the memory of hurricane Ida, which dumped record
34:53
breaking rain on the northeast and killed at least 13 people in
34:57
the Big Apple in 2021.
34:59
Listen is not an ordinary rainfall. This is historic. We
35:04
are on track to possibly create a new record of 10 inches of
35:08
rain falling in literally 24 hours last time we even had this
35:12
number was in 1955 and that was over a two day periods.
35:17
Adam Curry: Wait a minute. So what's what do we have climate
35:22
change in 1955? John C Dvorak: Okay, so but now she's you look at the list. This
35:28
is like number nine on the list of rainfalls in one day in New
35:32
York and most of them took place in the year two, first decade of
35:37
2000 was a lot of stuff that goes beyond way back. Yeah. And
35:40
this is not that big of a deal. Although it happened it just the
35:44
way I hear it. I have two clips. Adam Curry: Let me let me finish this. And because a resident
35:49
here tells you what the real problem is. And I've received
35:52
several John C Dvorak: emails, they may have what I have a lot under
35:55
root Adam Curry: now I'll just finish this this is not Unknown: this is Hurricane Ida level water.
36:01
According to the weather and city officials by 2:30pm. local
36:05
time, as much as 15 centimeters of rain was recorded in several
36:09
areas, including Brooklyn, lower Manhattan and John F. Kennedy
36:13
International Airport, the city had been experiencing during the
36:16
week mostly steady rainfall, which triggered a flash flood in
36:20
the area. As the rain briefly slowed, residents emerge from
36:23
their homes to take stock of the damage and begin draining the
36:27
water. They were coming from the ground, because there are no
36:31
drainage system from this location, all the rainwater,
36:35
they are not able to drain out from this area. So it's coming
36:38
into our house. Adam Curry: Now. That's what the residents say you got no drains
36:42
work and the sewers aren't right. But that's not what the
36:44
news is, you know, we are really, really suffering.
36:47
Unknown: Systems producing more intense rainfalls have become
36:50
more commonplace in many parts of the United States due to the
36:53
climate crisis. Scientists say more extreme and intense weather
36:57
patterns are set to become the norm across the globe. As the
37:00
situation gets worse, yes, it's
37:02
Adam Curry: climate change, of course. John C Dvorak: So this happened in 2011. It was the storm of the
37:09
century, it was the worst thing ever. And it did the exact same
37:12
thing in New York. And it was during our show, remember most
37:15
of these these stories, we have reliable events through 10s of
37:19
millions of dollars at fixing the infrastructure. And I know
37:23
what happened basic contractors say that was a once in a
37:26
lifetime thing. Nothing's going to happen again in our entire
37:30
lives. Let's just pocket the money and do nothing. I think
37:33
you're right. That's exactly what his only excuse because now
37:37
it does. Some of the pictures are fabulous. They have this one
37:40
shot of inside one of the subway stations and water squirting out
37:44
of those white tiles. Adam Curry: This and this is not a new I mean, I used to live in
37:49
New York In New Jersey, we got flooding like this. We had the
37:51
subway stations flood I mean, it's I remember this.
37:56
John C Dvorak: So they they took the money and ran it. They did
37:58
nothing. And then everyone blamed great problems. Climate
38:02
change is the world's greatest, greatest excuse to do nothing
38:05
and I'm Adam Curry: going to change my stance. Because climate change
38:10
is 100% manmade.
38:14
John C Dvorak: Yes, I know what you're saying. It's 100%
38:17
Adam Curry: manmade for sure. I'm all in.
38:22
John C Dvorak: And by that of course you mean that's been
38:24
created the whole idea of quote created the whole hoax. Yes. I
38:28
got two clips on these floods as New York City floods one.
38:33
Unknown: In New York City, up to five inches of rain fell in some
38:36
areas overnight into Friday following a week of steady
38:40
rainfall. A flash flood warning was in effect for the city until
38:43
midday and Mayor Eric Adams urged people to stay put if
38:47
possible. I am issuing a state of emergency for New York City
38:52
based emergencies and want to say to a
38:56
Adam Curry: state of emergency. It's John C Dvorak: not a state of emergency. It's a state of an
39:01
emergency. That's right. I'm the mayor.
39:03
Unknown: I am issuing a state of emergency for New York City.
39:07
Adam Curry: I mean, that alone is like don't you just think okay, well, we're screwed. We're screwed
39:12
Unknown: based on the weather conditions. And I want to say to
39:15
all New Yorkers, this is time for heightened alertness and
39:19
extreme caution. If you are home stay home if you are at work or
39:25
school shelter in place.
39:29
Adam Curry: Shelter in Place John C Dvorak: shelter in place if you're at school for how
39:33
long? Unknown: The city reported no storm related deaths or critical
39:38
injuries as of Friday afternoon, but the floods caused major
39:41
disruptions to the city's subway system and the Metro North
39:45
commuter rail service. The rainfall also shut down
39:48
Manhattan's FDR Drive and delayed flights at LaGuardia
39:51
Airport Adam Curry: it would have been funnier if he said shelter in
39:55
place and wear a mask that would have now that would have been
39:58
dynamite their significant Unknown: portion To the subway system that are shut down. We
40:03
are starting the process of reactivating certain lines. But
40:08
when water covers the electrified third rail we have
40:11
to do inspections. Yeah. So that that will be unfolding slowly.
40:15
Adam Curry: Okay. The subway Yeah, no other great is a little
40:21
short with Unknown: some 18 million people in the New York metropolitan
40:26
area and in other major cities along the east coast. We're
40:29
under flood warnings, watches and advisories. New York
40:34
Governor Kathy Hogle declared a state of emergency for New York
40:38
City, Long Island and the Hudson Valley.
40:43
John C Dvorak: So yeah, nobody died. It can't be that bad.
40:47
Adam Curry: No, dad. Yeah, I got a stepdaughter in Brooklyn.
40:51
She's not calling crime. Like, in bro. Brooklyn was supposed to
40:56
be one of the main places. But yeah, I mean, this is what
41:00
happens. And especially these airports, come on, look at the
41:04
location. Look at how they're set up. John C Dvorak: Look at what they're built on a flood. Yeah,
41:08
exactly. Adam Curry: Like, hello.
41:12
John C Dvorak: Yes, because it's a nice flat area. That's what
41:14
you do. Adam Curry: Well, it's good communication mechanism, climate
41:19
change, climate change. John C Dvorak: I do have some other kind of another clip about
41:23
New York. That is I think more interesting because I was
41:27
thinking about it. You bet you lived in New York. You've been
41:30
in New York. Everyone who's ever been in New York knows about
41:33
these garbage. piles of garbage on the street 24/7 Sure. Well,
41:38
they're going to finally decide to go to bins like every other
41:42
civilized part of the world Adam Curry: like so we can have the bin police like in the in
41:48
the bin Belize and bullied because John C Dvorak: of the rats. Yes, a rat Roush is New York City's
41:53
Unknown: now for a story about fighting an all too common urban
41:56
scourge rats. Decades New Yorkers thrown out their garbage
42:00
in plastic. Wait, is Adam Curry: this that 342 person station WNYC in New York, is
42:06
that what I'm hearing here? John C Dvorak: Well, it's it is a public it's public
42:10
broadcasting. So it could be bags on
42:12
Unknown: City sidewalks. They haven't used bins bins until
42:16
now. City officials are starting to require more hard sided trash
42:19
containers. Adam Curry: Homosassa why are we in America using the term bins?
42:27
This is not an American word. We don't say dust bin was a trash
42:33
can I mean trash will
42:37
John C Dvorak: you know i Here's that I this is interesting as
42:39
you bring this up. This is classic news deconstruction
42:43
Adam Curry: There you go. Here we go standby everybody. So I've
42:46
got John C Dvorak: bins in in the whole east Bay's because his
42:51
waste management companies generally runs most of it. Yeah,
42:54
the most of they have these bins in the big garbage trucks come
42:57
by they grab the bins with the big cook and they pull it over
43:00
and dump it in. And these things cans to me because we used to
43:05
have garbage cans was in memory. The garbage cans is a big
43:09
galvanized can't like a giant can with a lid tightly fits.
43:15
Right and I think the square buildings bins that have a flip
43:19
lid that get dumped into the truck is a bin I think I've
43:23
always thought of it as a bin but you're right it and it's not
43:26
a can. We don't have to be made out of metal.
43:29
Adam Curry: But we don't typically talk about bins in
43:31
America bins is a UK thing. I know. Yeah. You're
43:37
John C Dvorak: right by the word Adam Curry: being just, it's okay.
43:40
John C Dvorak: It's not going to vote into the vocabulary. It
43:43
doesn't we can do about it. Adam Curry: But here in Texas, we will not say Ben Oh, you
43:47
don't say bins. Bins though. We know No. That's trash cans trash
43:52
bucket. I don't say anything but bins. We don't talk about bins.
43:56
Unknown: They haven't used bins names. Until now. City officials
43:59
are starting to require more hard sided trash containers.
44:02
That is Austin cope reports. They hope it will slow the
44:05
city's growing rat population. It's a Friday night men hang out and Michelle and I are standing
44:09
in front of a row of apartments with a big stack of black trash
44:11
bags out in front. You can hear a few very faint high pitched
44:15
squeaks in the background. Right now we see just a bunch of garbage that's out there. And we
44:20
see we hear rats actually making noise. Saying hey, we'd been on
44:26
the radio to hip hop, they're actually not quite close enough
44:29
to the mic. They make a lot of loads, which is very scary
44:32
because if you walk down the block, you never know they're
44:34
running right across your foot. Who wants to get bit by a rat.
44:38
But what does that have to do with the trash bags? A lot because they are inside those bags. They are you scared
44:44
to walk by because they are in there eating whatever's inside
44:47
the bags. So what would you do if you were walking by these bags right now
44:50
across the street? Adam Curry: Who is this expert this expert on rats that they're
44:53
talking to? John C Dvorak: Like the expert you had in the last couple of
44:57
clips? This guy's like that Mexican guy
45:00
Adam Curry: I'm an expert on rats you know you got garbage
45:02
you get rat out well Unknown: industrially I do I walk in the street really you
45:06
know, but then you don't want to cross over to the other side because these bags on the other side too.
45:09
This is exactly the kind of thing officials here hoping to
45:12
solve. New Yorkers put out around 44 million pounds of
45:15
trash each day. Since the late 60s Most of it has gone right
45:18
under City Sidewalks like this one. New Yorker ocean Thomas
45:21
says it's no wonder there's so many routes when you visit other towns right you one of the first things you
45:26
notice being a native New Yorker is that while these tunnels are so clean, and it doesn't stink, and the thing that stands out
45:31
the most is that one, the trash is not all over the place. And
45:35
if it is trash cans that are out there contained.
45:39
Now the city started making people put their waste in bins.
45:42
Adam Curry: Now when I first moved to New York City that was
45:45
before we had bins bins yet no but no bins. Yeah, and the trash
45:53
was just outside. You know that picked it up at night VP to come
45:58
the trucks waste, man. Yeah, the guys from New Jersey, the
46:02
sopranos would pick it up. But this was 1987 and New York was a
46:07
craphole. And we had rats, big ones. And you see us walk down
46:11
the street. Columbus, rats, no.
46:15
John C Dvorak: Large cat sized rat Adam Curry: in New York. New York was in severe decline at
46:21
the time you need. This is I gotta say it before Giuliani
46:25
came in with Mayor Bratton. He cleaned up the crime. Police
46:29
Chief Bratton clean up the crime and clean up the city. And so
46:33
this may be peak rat. And I don't know you have another
46:38
clip. So I'm presuming you've got more rat more
46:41
John C Dvorak: on a rat rat for Unknown: the past couple of months. Large businesses have to
46:44
do it in 30, restaurants, grocery stores and other places
46:47
that serve food. next March. All businesses will have to private
46:51
residents don't yet but officials say more rules are on
46:53
the way. Finding where to put all this garbage isn't
46:56
necessarily easy. Victor Edwards lives in a neighborhood where
46:58
the city is testing out new containers in the streets.
47:02
Adam Curry: We put the garbage where we always put the garbage
47:04
Staten Island Hello Unknown: Victor Edwards lives in a neighborhood where the city is
47:08
testing out new containers in the street. If you look across the street, where cars are parked, you will
47:13
see that it takes up approximately four parking
47:17
spaces. Edwards leads a community board that represents residents
47:20
opinions, he hopes the city can plan for more than just the
47:22
past. We definitely want to get rid of rats. I'm not saying I want to
47:25
live with rats. But by the same token, I want to take in
47:28
consideration all the other factors physically challenged
47:32
people who have to carry these bags now and lift them up and
47:35
put them in seniors the same thing and then pocking.
47:39
Officials hope to balance out larger bins in the street with
47:41
smaller ones on the sidewalk. But they say there'll be some
47:44
trade offs. Daniel Mills lives in the Bronx and owns a car.
47:48
She's okay with containers industry since sometimes people
47:50
just throw their trash they're taking up parking anyway. So I would prefer the bins to be
47:55
there in I don't have a problem with sacrifice some parking.
48:00
Some make sure that you know we keep in the streets clean and
48:03
cleared from garbage and for Tamika Jordan, it really gets back to the rodents.
48:07
No one wants to little Mickey Mouse in that and now I'm very
48:11
afraid of that rat. She hasn't had any at her place, but she's seen some near where
48:16
she works. So it was more bins go in cheese. Glad the rats will
48:20
have a harder time reaching their next meal. Adam Curry: Okay, I'm just thinking about this logically, I
48:25
living in New York. Do you know how many bins you need on the
48:29
street to John C Dvorak: a whole stop 42 million pounds of garbage a day?
48:35
Let me think Adam Curry: how many bins does that make
48:38
John C Dvorak: lots of bins have been businesses is a day makes
48:42
these bins and you've been invest?
48:45
Adam Curry: Or do what European countries have done. Like
48:49
Rotterdam they went underground. So you go outside and there's a
48:54
shoot me you you drop your bags down the chute they go they go.
48:59
That's a big hole. But it's you know, you don't see it on the
49:02
top, just the entrance. But if you threw a body in there, oh
49:05
yeah, it'd be fine. And then the truck comes by and it has its
49:08
own. And it pulls this whole huge thing out of the ground and
49:13
dumps it into the truck. That's the way to go. Except, you know,
49:17
if you drill down in New York City, you know the roads will be
49:20
faldo's When you're gonna hit. Now this of course, is one of
49:24
the big problems with our pollution is a waste and the
49:28
waste is plastic. Plastic takes up a lot of space, then, you
49:33
know, we're just going to replace it with more plastic
49:36
bins. But luckily, scientists scientists
49:40
John C Dvorak: have chopped the bins up for plastic scientists
49:43
Adam Curry: have a solution for plastic. And I'm very excited
49:46
about this. This is a new ecological breakthrough
49:49
Unknown: plastic pollution is a looming global crisis. The world
49:53
now produces more than 380 million tons of it every year,
49:57
and a man projected to triple by 26 Steel. At a glance this looks
50:01
like your regular vanilla ice cream. But the desert is the
50:05
first of its kind in the world is derived from plastic waste.
50:10
The process is developed by scientists in Edinburgh and
50:13
harnesses the power of bacteria and enzymes to break down the
50:17
plastics polymers. No longer plastic. The PTS are then
50:22
processed by another bacteria to turn it into vanillin. The
50:27
design is the idea was born from frustration about the failure of
50:30
the recycling system, and how it cannot keep up with plastic
50:33
production. But scientists say the ice cream very much remains
50:37
a research project aren't quite ready for consumption work, but
50:41
rather a starting point to rethink the way we approach
50:44
plastic waste. Perhaps misconception around what it actually is by the end
50:49
of the process that is no longer plastic. But I think it's part
50:52
of that we it is really important that we take the
50:55
safety side of it really, really seriously and we make it very
50:58
clear that this has to go through processes and food
51:03
standard processes as any other food ingredient.
51:06
Adam Curry: It'll be safe and effective. Don't worry, it's all
51:10
good. John C Dvorak: safe and effective. Recycle Plastic
51:13
Minella Adam Curry: but they give you enzyme so so you can dissolve
51:16
it. Yeah, electrolytes.
51:20
Now, you may be New York City is bad. But that's nothing compared
51:26
to France right now. And we know that France is under attack. We
51:29
know McCrone is under attack, the French are not playing game
51:33
not playing ball. They got too many nuclear plants. You know,
51:36
they just pains in the asses. The EU doesn't like him. They're
51:42
tired of them. So let's give him something to really really think
51:46
about Unknown: the French government taking the extraordinary step
51:49
today of rolling out a national plan to stop an invasion and
51:53
invasion of what appears to be bedbugs infesting the country.
51:57
John C Dvorak: By story again, oh, this Adam Curry: is bad just
52:00
Unknown: months before they're supposed to host the Olympics.
52:02
And these bugs are not just in their namesake beds. They're in
52:06
trains in movie theaters. Out there in the big airport in
52:10
Paris. Look at this, you can see here what looks to be a bedbug
52:12
crawling along the armrest of one of the high speed trains in
52:15
France. You can imagine people are just thrilled to see it.
52:18
They love it. They do not
52:24
stress me out because this morning, I had to take the train
52:26
and I wondered whether I would find some. So I felt a bit
52:29
hesitant. But at the same time, I know there are some also in
52:32
cinemas and somewhat everywhere. So I paid close attention when
52:35
stepping on the train and look to see if there are any crawlers
52:38
on my seat. That's Josh Letterman, I'm just going to tell you, I don't know if I'm
52:44
moving through this like it is I mean, this is an infestation so
52:47
bad that the French government is stepping in to fight this
52:51
battle. Like what is the plan here?
52:53
I'm so glad that we're talking about this on a Friday night,
52:56
Holly, I'm never gonna be able to fall asleep tonight. So thank
52:58
you so much for that. But seriously, this is a crisis for
53:03
government because this is the kind of thing that normally
53:05
households deal with at the family level. It's not the kind
53:08
of thing that governments are used to dealing with. And so
53:12
they really have to figure out quickly how to get their hands
53:16
around this. And they're focusing first off on the
53:19
transportation system, because that's really where you have
53:21
high density of people, heavily trafficked areas where this kind
53:25
of thing can really start to spread very quickly.
53:28
Adam Curry: I think this is sabotage. Because it didn't
53:31
start like in New York, really. In New York. They had no hotel
53:34
bedbug problem we reported on that years ago, this year,
53:37
John C Dvorak: you know, that was that was the entire country.
53:40
There was problems in in San Francisco. They also talked
53:45
about bedbugs in the theater. He was measured major stories we
53:49
have Yes, still in the archives. I maybe dig some up for the next
53:53
show. Talking about the bed bugs bed baths. All they talked
53:56
about. Well, no, Adam Curry: it's Democrat cities is what you're saying. That's
53:58
what I'm hearing here. But you are right. The theaters. This is
54:04
sabotage and it started in the theaters.
54:07
Unknown: UGC cinemas had initially ignored reports of
54:10
bedbugs. However, it made a U turn after customers threatened
54:14
to boycott its cinema halls. The chain has admitted that bedbugs
54:19
are present in at least some of its cinemas it published a
54:23
statement saying that it was sincerely sorry for all the
54:27
victims of bedbug bites. However, the cinema says that
54:31
there are no grounds for compensating victims. The
54:35
statement further underlines that this couch of bedbox
54:39
concerns all public places, along with private homes in
54:43
France that bugs have been discovered this year in
54:46
theaters, hospitals and prisons in front of prisons. They were
54:51
also found in the merciless underground network. A recent
54:54
report by the French government said that bedbugs had spread to
54:58
about 11% of Friends households, and we're causing sleep loss,
55:03
mental health problems and absenteeism.
55:07
Adam Curry: This is this is going to bring down their
55:09
economy. John C Dvorak: If they keep promoting it, I mean bedbugs are
55:14
frogs. bedbugs are not hard to stop bentonite and the spread
55:19
around households on corners and stuff till they can dig kills
55:24
them all because they can't walk across it. And then if you own
55:27
the theater, why wouldn't you have already sprayed it for with
55:32
Malla thigh on a number of times you get any kind of critter out
55:35
of there and nobody's gonna know I don't know it's not gonna
55:38
poison this whole thing. You're right. This is some sort of a
55:42
setup is being done for a reason by someone. Well, the Olympics
55:45
Adam Curry: the Olympics was the key part in the first report.
55:47
The Olympics are just months away. And it's in France, Paris,
55:52
I think. John C Dvorak: Paris in Paris. Yeah, this is done this is some
55:57
sort of program Adam Curry: if can you imagine you have the Olympics you put
56:02
you spend hundreds of billions of euros on setting up your
56:06
venues and getting everybody ready and the whole world goes?
56:08
Nope, not gonna go to bed bugs. I'm not gonna Hey, they could
56:12
turn them into a snack. John C Dvorak: Take too many of them. I guess if he had a kind
56:18
of maybe a like a popsicle stick coated and honey and then you
56:22
roll the bed bugs on him. So he eat like, you know, get to eat a
56:26
lot at once. I wonder if if they're edible? If it did then
56:30
dip it in chocolate. Yeah. Adam Curry: Nice.
56:36
John C Dvorak: There's something up with this. Yeah, I agree. It
56:39
is like an extortion plot to some sort. Somebody did this.
56:43
They don't Adam Curry: like McCrone I mean, and I think you know, of all the
56:46
problems in France. This could get the French mad enough to
56:49
kick them out. All right, we're sticky. And now we got bedbugs.
56:54
We got irregular migrants. Bedbugs
56:56
John C Dvorak: lost our ass on the Olympics, which they always
56:59
do. Anyway, every Adam Curry: country. Every country loses loses out on
57:03
that's never good. It's never good. John C Dvorak: Yes. Amazing. They get suckered into doing it
57:07
time. And again, there's got to be unbelievable amounts of
57:10
bribery involved in the Olympic program system.
57:15
Adam Curry: So here's the question because it doesn't make
57:18
any sense. And you know, you predicted something else would
57:21
happen. I'm not blaming you. I'm not calling you out, but we were
57:23
in Houston. Gas was 279 I'm sorry, 379 379 for gas and here.
57:32
We're in in Fredericksburg. We're paying for 6470 but
57:38
California Unknown: residents of California they are already feeling the
57:41
squeeze gas prices, causing major pain at the pump. ABCs
57:45
Derek Dennis joins us now with some efforts to change that.
57:49
Derrick. Good morning. We're talking over $8
57:51
A gallon absolutely just $8 a gallon for regular unleaded.
57:56
That's the staggering price in some areas of California. And
57:59
drivers are frustrated parking their cars are feeling forced to
58:02
just pay up the national average about 382 A gallon California's
58:07
average more than six bucks a gallon if you're lucky, but
58:10
topping $8 A gallon if you're not prices up 80 cents across
58:15
California in just the last month. And here's why gas prices
58:19
are tied to the global oil market where it's all about
58:21
supply and demand. oil producing countries like Saudi Arabia have
58:25
been cutting back on supply driving up oil prices. So what's
58:29
being done? Governor Gavin Newsom approving a short term
58:33
fix transitioning the state to using a cheaper winter blend of
58:37
fuel while Republicans want to suspend the state's gas tax
58:40
saving 58 cents on the gallon.
58:43
Adam Curry: Now you know a lot about this stuff. You know a lot
58:45
about the winter blends, you know a lot about the oil and gas
58:48
industry in general, what is going on? Why is Why is oil so
58:53
expensive? And is even that expensive? Is it 90? It's
58:59
John C Dvorak: it's 90 but which you know it doesn't mean it
59:01
should be 750 A gallon around my area 650 which is
59:07
Adam Curry: too high. Yes, really high.
59:10
John C Dvorak: But I think it's a gouge being done. I think it's
59:14
somehow being orchestrated. And I think it all has to do with
59:16
trying to get Biden out. Adam Curry: Well, this was a very interesting report that I
59:22
heard this, what you're saying there may be true listen to this
59:25
Unknown: report from the California Division of petroleum
59:27
market oversight. They found an unusual spot market transaction
59:32
that led to gas prices skyrocketing.
59:35
And we know that 50 cents of it was as a direct result of one
59:40
spot market transaction. Is it the oil companies in the refineries? Do we miss that one
59:47
single transaction or whatever you don't know. State
59:49
Representative Mike Levin sent a letter to the Federal Trade
59:53
Commission, asking them to investigate the transaction
59:56
because we're fed up with these oil companies and market
59:59
manipulation Shouldn't and price gouging and we need for the
1:00:02
Federal Trade Commission to work with the state of California to
1:00:05
investigate, get to the bottom of it and hold those to account
1:00:08
Adam Curry: if anything is going wrong. So a spot trade so
1:00:12
someone did a trade which had some bogus bogus price in there.
1:00:16
Yeah, that'll do it. John C Dvorak: Well, for short term it will to enough to get
1:00:20
everyone hooked. But there's something up with this. Some of
1:00:26
the stuff going on with getting getting rid of Biden, I've
1:00:28
noticed this in the clips on this. I have. I do have a couple
1:00:34
I do want to play some Biden clips. So he was in California.
1:00:38
Yeah, you have a clip you have a special clip we've been holding
1:00:41
on to I do you do. You have the Biden clip about him and LL
1:00:47
Cool. llj. Adam Curry: Oh, I
1:00:52
John C Dvorak: we played it after the show. You didn't play it on the show.
1:00:54
Adam Curry: I also didn't. I didn't clip it. I played it to
1:00:59
me. I played it from the YouTube I think,
1:01:02
John C Dvorak: Oh, well. Let's play Biden in California.
1:01:05
mumbling Unknown: President Biden visits California for a two day trip.
1:01:09
He attended several private fundraisers in the San Francisco
1:01:13
Bay Area on Tuesday evening, before making his way down the
1:01:16
peninsula on Wednesday. We're in a situation where we used to have a significant
1:01:22
portion of our GDP going into research and development. And it
1:01:27
got down to point 7% from 2%.
1:01:30
Biden's remarks came as he met with the President's Council of
1:01:33
Advisors on Science and Technology. His speakers said
1:01:36
they will report on recommendations on medical
1:01:39
patient safety and experience as well as possibilities and risks
1:01:43
of artificial intelligence. They want to use it to predict
1:01:47
weather extremes as climate change. Oh, read materials and
1:01:51
understand the origins of the universe.
1:01:53
Adam Curry: Wait a minute. We need AI now to to validate this
1:02:00
stuff that has been going on. Unknown: Biden's visit and fundraiser events come as
1:02:06
Congress continues to grapple with an impending government
1:02:09
shutdown on October 1. Both houses are unable to agree on
1:02:14
budget bills. But Biden told reporters during his California
1:02:17
visit, I don't think anything's inevitable in politics, and I'll just say if we have a government
1:02:24
shutdown, a lot of vital work in science and health could be
1:02:28
impacted from cancer research to food safety. Shut up.
1:02:34
John C Dvorak: I clipped a sub clip of weary mum telling me
1:02:37
what he says here. Unknown: I don't think anything's inevitable. I can
1:02:42
hear it Adam Curry: he says I don't think anything's inevitable. And
1:02:47
and that's true. I have the clip of the clip during the
1:02:53
Congressional Black Caucus Phoenix awards, talking about
1:02:58
two of Unknown: the great artists of our time representing the
1:03:01
groundbreaking legacy of hip hop in America. lol Jake Cool J by
1:03:09
the way, that boys got he got man's got biceps bigger than my
1:03:13
size. I think that boy boy,
1:03:17
Adam Curry: boy, boy, oh boy. All right, Joe, he's got bicep,
1:03:21
you know, he's bred that way. They make him like that on the
1:03:25
on the cotton farms. Isn't that exactly what he sounds like?
1:03:30
Yeah, John C Dvorak: that's exactly it. Adam Curry: You know? Newsom, I'm gonna see if I have this
1:03:35
year. Newsom who is he's you know, he's making moves. Newsom
1:03:39
is making moves. He's trying he's so they raise the minimum
1:03:43
wage for fast food workers in California. Now, here's here's a
1:03:51
quick clip, Unknown: California is raising the minimum wage for fast food
1:03:54
workers, they'll soon be paid $20 an hour, the highest minimum
1:03:57
wage in the country. The governor says the increase
1:04:00
acknowledges that many fast food workers are their family's
1:04:03
primary breadwinners. There's a lot of mythology about fast food. You know, Johnny used
1:04:08
to learn the value of hard work. You know, he'd work a few hours
1:04:12
in his first job. That's not the case, folks, that's a
1:04:15
romanticized version of a world that doesn't exist. We have the
1:04:18
opportunity to reward that contribution reward that
1:04:21
sacrifice and stabilize an industry.
1:04:25
About half a million workers will be affected by the
1:04:27
increase. Critics say the wage hike will place a bigger burden
1:04:30
on both businesses and consumers
1:04:33
Adam Curry: to know I'm watching this take place. I'm watching
1:04:36
this Newsom announced this and this has nothing to do this was
1:04:43
a reparations move. It was like it was literally like Newsom is
1:04:49
saying I'm giving you reparations and it was received
1:04:52
that way. Unknown: A victory for hundreds of 1000s of people across the
1:04:56
state of California. Please listen Tom Mountain.
1:05:03
For some, the new bill which raises the minimum wage for fast
1:05:06
food workers to $20 per hour feels like writing a historic
1:05:10
wrong. This is for my grandmother, my great grandmother, Johnny T goes
1:05:16
my grandmother Bobby pigment. And for my children, this is for
1:05:21
my ancestors. This is for all the farm workers. All the cotton
1:05:26
pickers. California Governor Gavin Newsom said the bill is a recognition
1:05:32
of the fact that a majority of fast food workers are
1:05:35
breadwinners. 80% of the workforce force, these fast food places 80% of
1:05:42
people of color, two thirds, two thirds are women. We have the
1:05:46
opportunity to reward that contribution reward that
1:05:50
sacrifice and stabilize an industry in turn.
1:05:53
Adam Curry: I mean, come on John C Dvorak: the standard. Interesting that was not played
1:05:59
up here at all. Adam Curry: This was France 24. That's where it came from. All
1:06:04
the cotton pickers, my ancestors, what were your
1:06:06
ancestors John C Dvorak: working at working at McDonald's flipping
1:06:09
burgers is is a reparation for Cotton Pickin.
1:06:13
Adam Curry: That's Yes.
1:06:16
John C Dvorak: And that was off. That was a good one.
1:06:19
Adam Curry: But listen, listen, because there was a quid pro
1:06:21
quo. There's more there is there's a quid pro quo. What a
1:06:24
remarkable moment. Unknown: labor and business groups negotiated long and hard
1:06:29
over the deal. And exchange Union's agreed to drop their
1:06:32
efforts to make fast food corporations liable for the
1:06:35
misdeeds of their independent franchise operators in
1:06:38
California. Adam Curry: See, the so
1:06:42
John C Dvorak: McDonald's they got out of what scam was going
1:06:44
on. And what was that all about? I think McDonald's
1:06:47
Adam Curry: was underpaid. And all the other ones, I'll just
1:06:49
use McDonald's, we're under pressure for the misdeeds of the
1:06:54
franchisees. So if the franchisee was underpaying a
1:06:58
black person, we're gonna go John C Dvorak: after the pockets of the corporate Yes. And so now
1:07:03
the state said, Nope, can't do that. Exactly. They sewed up
1:07:07
some deep pockets is what they did good work. Yeah.
1:07:10
Adam Curry: Yeah. John C Dvorak: Well, the whole thing is a scam.
1:07:19
Adam Curry: You can't just brush it off like that. Just say the
1:07:22
whole thing's a scam. Well, that's your can. Well, okay,
1:07:26
then while we're on this, let him by the way,
1:07:30
John C Dvorak: stop for a second. Yes, I'm sorry, we'll back up. Because you kind of glossed it over your shot
1:07:36
through it like, you know, like, punch through a duck. Yeah, you
1:07:40
were condemning me for the fact that I had predicted that after
1:07:44
the dip holiday that the gas prices would drop like a rock,
1:07:48
which they normally do, and they didn't. So I was wrong. I think
1:07:53
you've admitted that more than once already. Adam Curry: But I didn't say it to say you're wrong. It's like
1:07:57
this is different because you typically are correct in these
1:08:00
matters. So something else happened. And that's
1:08:04
John C Dvorak: good find that there's something else which we
1:08:07
haven't gotten to the bottom. Adam Curry: Oh, no. But you're saying it's Biden thing is to
1:08:10
get this to John C Dvorak: get rid of Biden. I'm seeing more and more of
1:08:15
these little idiosyncratic, small little touches here in
1:08:18
there at all looks like I've anti Biden stuff, I think. And
1:08:22
this latest thing with the impeachment inquiries, and some
1:08:26
of the new stuff coming out. It's pretty damning. And they
1:08:29
don't know what to do about except, oh, no, there's no
1:08:32
evidence. That's not working. Now, before
1:08:34
Adam Curry: we go there. You know, what are
1:08:38
John C Dvorak: we gonna wait on that? Adam Curry: You know what I'm missing? Dianne Feinstein. So
1:08:42
she passes away. And the only thing that I'm seeing is Oh,
1:08:49
yeah, it was Newsom gonna replace it with it. We're gonna
1:08:51
do but, but where are the retrospectives of her life? I
1:08:57
mean, I'm sure her politics may not have been an agreement with
1:09:00
mine. But she was a force to be reckoned with. She wasn't she
1:09:03
Mayor of San Francisco. She was cute when she was young. If you
1:09:10
look at the pictures, he was cute. Yeah, she was cute, good
1:09:13
looking woman. She had an amazing career. Shouldn't they
1:09:16
have this on the shelf? Shouldn't they have been ready
1:09:19
to like, honor her? Have you seen anything of this of this
1:09:22
sort? John C Dvorak: Yeah, a couple of things here and there. And
1:09:25
they're minor, or there weren't there weren't the big deals.
1:09:28
They made mostly tests. Mostly what I've seen is testimonials.
1:09:32
Run right. Oh, she was a great gal. And she was like our friend
1:09:37
you know, she'd come over to dinner once in a while when she
1:09:40
was in town with her husband. You know, that kind of thing. I
1:09:46
just find that any questions. You know, we should just the
1:09:48
retrospective should have we should have put one together
1:09:50
about her and the fact that she was an apologist for the Chinese
1:09:55
government and current government trade. She made
1:09:58
millions and millions of dollars I'm Dan shot after China's
1:10:01
Chinese back that she had a chauffeur who was a Chinese spy.
1:10:06
Adam Curry: This is my favorite. These are old clips from, let me
1:10:09
say this is from 2019.
1:10:15
Unknown: This letter together in front of Feinstein, we're asking
1:10:21
her to vote on the deal. We are trying to ask you to vote yes.
1:10:28
On the Green New Deal. Adam Curry: Remember when the kids came into your office? And
1:10:32
like, yeah, we want you to vote yes. On the Green New Deal.
1:10:34
Scientists Unknown: said that we have 12 years to turn this around. Well,
1:10:40
it's not gonna get turned around. We can do.
1:10:46
Around in 10 years, you're looking at the faces of the
1:10:48
people who are going to be living with Adam Curry: the kids are pleading please Senator
1:10:53
Feinstein, please save our souls.
1:10:56
Unknown: I was elected by almost a million vote plurality. And I
1:11:01
know what I'm doing. So maybe people should listen a little
1:11:06
bit. I hear what you're saying. But we're the people who voted you.
1:11:10
You're supposed to listen to us. Oh, there are a bunch of kids.
1:11:14
16. John C Dvorak: By the way, stop.
1:11:17
Adam Curry: She literally says that you stepped on it. But
1:11:20
John C Dvorak: well, okay, we're gonna go back. But she said,
1:11:22
Because you're gonna go back to play this again. Were the people
1:11:24
that voted, you know, that's what the teacher says.
1:11:29
Unknown: You're saying, but where's the people who voted
1:11:31
you? Adam Curry: That's a 16 year old,
1:11:33
Unknown: you're supposed to listen to us. That's your old
1:11:37
16. If you didn't vote for something,
1:11:44
we're gonna be the one who's impacted for you.
1:11:47
I have seven grandchildren. Now. I understand it very well,
1:11:52
Senator, the cost of not taking this action is far higher than
1:11:55
the cost of what the green New Deal will be. And there is
1:11:58
enormous popularity for this bill around the whole country
1:12:02
here. And we're asking you to do this for us and for your
1:12:06
grandchildren. And the Adam Curry: thing is, they did it we got the green New Deal is
1:12:10
called the the investment, the inflation Reduction Act. The
1:12:14
Green New Deal, just it made inflation worse. It made
1:12:18
inflation worse and it hasn't done anything. And here is our
1:12:20
favorite no agenda soundbite and her head is gone. That's the
1:12:24
Diane we know and her head is gone. That's the that's the one
1:12:27
we all know and love. That's the Diane we want a retrospective
1:12:30
of. John C Dvorak: No, you're not gonna get it. Okay. But yeah,
1:12:36
she was the big pro Chinese. She was also the one that was spied
1:12:40
upon by the CIA directly, even though she at the time was the
1:12:43
head of the Senate Intelligence Committee. And she got all bent
1:12:47
out of shape about it, because she found out if you remember,
1:12:49
this is during that era, where there were there were they had
1:12:53
the torture report that they wouldn't release and she wanted
1:12:56
it released. And and so then they decide, just as a
1:12:59
retrospect, she wanted it released, they wouldn't release
1:13:02
the torture report. And they said, Okay, well put the torture
1:13:05
report in one of those close skiffs or whatever they are.
1:13:09
And, and people can go in and look at it if they want to read
1:13:12
it if they're members of the committee. And so then that's
1:13:15
when the Republicans turned it over and got the Senate back in
1:13:19
the day, got the Senate back. And this guy, I think his name
1:13:21
was burns or whatever his name was the guy who was the head of
1:13:25
or maybe was the Republican head of the Senate Intelligence
1:13:29
Committee, and he said, I don't want to look at it. Yeah. And he
1:13:32
refused to look at it. Because he's a guest you know, what the
1:13:36
CIA told them not to because it was like restricted isn't that
1:13:39
whatever the case This is pathetic. This whole situation
1:13:43
this government of ours, Adam Curry: well gets better. The F 35 op, which I call them
1:13:50
up I said it resembled Top Gun to so closely, work crews at
1:13:57
Jax. It's a weird thing, just like the 911 call of this top
1:14:02
pilot. And, and then the next scene is Ed Harris saying son,
1:14:09
Maverick. Yeah, a year old this year out. There's not going to
1:14:13
you know, you're you're not, you're yesterday's news. We're
1:14:17
working on planes that don't need pilots. Well, wouldn't, you
1:14:21
know, not even 18 hours after we we played that clip and
1:14:27
discussed it. Here is a video brand new brand new on the
1:14:32
YouTubes from the Air Force Research Labs.
1:14:36
Unknown: Our senior leaders have been clear and direct in saying
1:14:39
we're dealing with new technology and we're dealing
1:14:42
with a new threat. We need to go fast in determining competitive
1:14:46
advantage of autonomy and how to ultimately operationalize
1:14:50
autonomy for the warfighter. We are trying to figure out how to integrate artificially
1:14:59
trained neural net works trained in a simulation, how to
1:15:02
integrate those into the real world. In this case integrated
1:15:06
into controlling an airplane. We need to recognize that AI is here. It's here to stay. It's a
1:15:13
powerful tool, collaborative combat aircraft. And that type
1:15:16
of autonomy is revolutionary and will be the future battle space.
1:15:21
Yeah, final Adam Curry: space. battle space autonomous planes in the future
1:15:29
battle space. So we have boots on the ground in the Yes.
1:15:33
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Oh, we have boots. You gotta note, yeah, we
1:15:37
had Adam Curry: the boots on the ground, the Air Force Research Laboratory, but I'm not going to and we got a lot more than we
1:15:42
can discuss. In the Systems Directorate, dealing
1:15:47
specifically with autonomy and air systems. Yes, the military
1:15:50
wants to sell flying planes. But it's going to take many, many
1:15:53
years because every single one of these this is our government.
1:15:57
This is our military industrial complex. They want this but oh,
1:16:01
we can't make that happen fast. Because every single one of the
1:16:03
systems are made of different solutions that have developed
1:16:07
been developed by different directorates reach different
1:16:10
contractors. And on different stages of completion. There's no
1:16:14
agreed upon spec for interface or communication between any of
1:16:19
the systems. So it's, it's a boondoggle. But they created a
1:16:27
cool video. Get everybody all excited about
1:16:31
John C Dvorak: boondoggle isn't boondoggle.
1:16:34
Adam Curry: It is a super loss John C Dvorak: because you don't have people with technical
1:16:37
enough skills at the top that can say, hey, no, you got to do
1:16:41
it this way. No, we can't have these. No, just develop No, just
1:16:46
a classical just No, it'd be great. But the classic trick
1:16:50
would be IBM has technique of doing to no more than two
1:16:55
parallel developments and then picking one they would do just
1:16:59
says how the PC came about, Adam Curry: please. Oh, is that that's how the PC came about.
1:17:04
Yeah. You call me a Luddite the other day on the show?
1:17:09
John C Dvorak: Oh, does that finally gotten to you remember?
1:17:13
Adam Curry: Well, I heard it, but then I was like, Chet GPT.
1:17:17
What does it look like? What does a Luddite and this stems
1:17:22
from? The textile area era,
1:17:26
John C Dvorak: the Jacquard weave the lace frames, I guess.
1:17:30
Yeah, it's Adam Curry: right. Where to bring it in the the or the the
1:17:37
automated looms? Is that what you'd call them?
1:17:42
John C Dvorak: Jack card, I believe this sort of, and
1:17:45
product Adam Curry: to kids arms were getting chopped off and stuff.
1:17:48
Were working in there. And it was, you know, so they say, they
1:17:53
went in and they and they busted up all of the machines.
1:17:57
John C Dvorak: They broke them threw a wrench in the works.
1:17:59
Adam Curry: As always that where that comes from a wrench in the works, I believe. So. The Luddites? Yeah, yeah, these
1:18:05
John C Dvorak: people are called I don't know where the word
1:18:07
Luddite stems from some guy named John lead or something.
1:18:10
I'm not sure. But I don't remember. I didn't look it up.
1:18:14
But yeah, there's there are people that will generally push
1:18:17
back there are people that put appeal that push back against
1:18:22
what was going on, and I think they were justified, you should
1:18:25
have taken it as a compliment. Adam Curry: I do now now that I've seen it, by the way while I
1:18:30
was looking around. Do you know what the word algorithm comes
1:18:34
from? John C Dvorak: No, I don't to say that. No,
1:18:39
Adam Curry: it is. It is a word that was shaped after a Persian
1:18:43
mathematician who first came up with the idea of these rules
1:18:47
based mathematics. And his name sounds like algorithms like aka
1:18:52
dragonrider or something like that. But then when I'm messing
1:18:56
around, I look up algos. The Greek word for algos. He's
1:19:02
literally pain and suffering. I thought that was that is
1:19:09
interesting, kind of poetic. You know, that's kind
1:19:11
John C Dvorak: of our show in a nutshell. Adam Curry: Pain and suffering. Yeah.
1:19:20
John C Dvorak: Danny will talk about pain and suffering. Yes.
1:19:23
Nice transit. I have some clips on there. RFK Jr. Up. Oh, I
1:19:27
Adam Curry: have an email. John C Dvorak: Oh, well, I wonder if the clip should be
1:19:31
like the two clips would go and then the email. Yeah, sure.
1:19:34
Let's do this. It's a three parter. It's actually two parter
1:19:37
plus a kicker. The kicker is only seven seconds. But there's
1:19:41
two partners. But he's opened up a headquarters and he's getting
1:19:44
taking it very seriously. And he's, I think they've stayed. I
1:19:48
think we're at the beginning of stage two
1:19:51
Unknown: RFK Jr. His campaign appears to be gaining momentum
1:19:54
his team just open up a new headquarters in New Jersey.
1:19:58
There the presidential candidate explained to him he'll help
1:20:00
Americans and quote, drain the swamp. And it is Jason Perry
1:20:04
attended the grand opening. I believe President Trump wanted to drain this off, but he just
1:20:10
didn't know how I know how to do it.
1:20:12
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Democratic presidential candidates spoke at
1:20:16
his newly opened campaign office in Elizabeth, New Jersey. And he
1:20:20
said this about Trump and he appointed Scott Gottlieb, Pfizer's partner business
1:20:25
partner to run the FDA and Godley went in there and did an
1:20:29
$88 billion favor from Pfizer. The joint
1:20:34
board then RFK Jr, explained how he knows how to, quote drain the
1:20:39
swamp. Companies I've seen all of these agents do, FCC, USDA, EPA, NIH,
1:20:51
CDC, FDA, and when you sue them
1:21:00
corporate capture is a term which refers to regulatory
1:21:03
agencies being dominated or influenced by the industries
1:21:07
they are supposed to regulate. And he explained how the
1:21:10
relationship between the US military and the defense
1:21:13
industry also known as the military industrial complex has
1:21:17
affected average Americans. Adam Curry: Wow, what station called it the military
1:21:23
industrial complex. What station was that? And TD Oh, okay. No
1:21:29
wonder as I said, No, no American station would do that.
1:21:33
John C Dvorak: No, you can't anymore. So he's got the he's,
1:21:38
he's, I thought it was interesting that what he's doing
1:21:40
is he's stealing Trump's thunder for drain the swamp. Yeah.
1:21:45
Saying that. I you know, it's a great idea. But Trump couldn't
1:21:48
do it. I can, which is another words he's got no, Trump's no
1:21:52
good. And then he then he has some comment about Gottlieb how
1:21:56
Trump got suckered the way he isn't. It's implied that he got
1:22:02
suckered into putting this guy into this the head of the CDC or
1:22:05
whatever it was time of. Or FDA can't remember FDA. But yeah,
1:22:11
FDA. And then so he's, he's, he's so interesting. He's, he's
1:22:17
complimenting Trump for the ideas. But he can't impeach.
1:22:22
He's not no good at implementation. We're as I am,
1:22:27
because that's what I've been doing as a lawyer. Very
1:22:30
interesting trick, which is well thought out, it's to
1:22:33
Adam Curry: me fits right in with the idea Trump wins.
1:22:37
Kennedy becomes Attorney General. John C Dvorak: That I can't put it I have no evidence that
1:22:44
you're wrong at all, so I can't argue against you. Part Two.
1:22:49
Unknown: He also highlighted the war in Ukraine, noting that by
1:22:53
March of this year, the US had approved $113 billion in aid to
1:22:58
Ukraine. And that's the way we cut Medicare in this country. By we
1:23:05
took the 30 million people who 15 million people from Medicare
1:23:09
and we cut 30 million people 30 million Americans food stamps
1:23:13
from $283 a month to $23 a month, drive at yourself on $23
1:23:19
a month. Kennedy also pointed out in that same month, the government
1:23:24
provided a $300 billion bailout to banks. And then he explained
1:23:28
what he's going to do for Americans. And given that over
1:23:31
the past two years, housing prices have gone up
1:23:34
significantly. And mortgage interest rates have more than
1:23:37
doubled from about 3% to 7%.
1:23:43
We kicked off great prosperity in this country that 50 years
1:23:46
and you know economists and social scientists, when we
1:23:50
became the richest country on Earth. We started with a housing
1:23:55
boom. As soon as I get into office under launch another
1:24:00
housing boom, I'm going to issue a new class of mortgages or for
1:24:08
3%. I'm going to finance that by selling treasury bills and 3%.
1:24:16
Tax Free market will pay for
1:24:19
the Senate. He just laid out his economic plan here in his newly
1:24:23
opened New Jersey campaign headquarters, and he stayed
1:24:26
after his speech to take selfies with everyone.
1:24:30
Adam Curry: I don't like his plan. It doesn't sound good.
1:24:35
John C Dvorak: But then something good about it. He says Adam Curry: he's going to sell bonds at 3% which is kind of
1:24:42
below every other bond. John C Dvorak: Tax Free those big difference is
1:24:48
Adam Curry: and he's going to create loans at a 3% rate.
1:24:56
John C Dvorak: Which it just was a few years ago by itself.
1:24:59
Adam Curry: Right and what I mean, why don't we stop? We put
1:25:01
a cap on John C Dvorak: the price controls
1:25:07
Adam Curry: on price controls. Yes. Do you think it's a good
1:25:10
idea? I'm asking. John C Dvorak: I don't know if it's a good idea or not, I
1:25:13
haven't looked really tried to figure it out whether it is not
1:25:16
like the market doing its own thing personally. Yeah. But the,
1:25:20
the OP is complete, because now we know NTDs may talk about
1:25:23
regulatory cap capture. This is a little sub clip here, a little
1:25:29
clip at the end. Tell me NTDs not in on the OP.
1:25:32
Unknown: If you want to watch Kennedy's full speech, you can
1:25:35
visit mtv.com. some very sad news, New Jersey. This is in di
1:25:42
D. John C Dvorak: There the front, the front news organization for
1:25:48
the opp. That will keep an eye on
1:25:52
Adam Curry: that someone's got to do it. So somehow I wound up
1:25:56
on the email list for all the Zoom calls of Kennedy. What is
1:26:02
it? It's called? People for Kennedy. So this is his ground
1:26:09
game. John C Dvorak: Wonder how you got on that list? I didn't get
1:26:12
on it. Adam Curry: And it's you know, they're very, yeah, exactly.
1:26:16
They want to put you on it. And here's the latest to the
1:26:19
fearless believers, passionate, changemakers and motivated
1:26:22
citizens who make up people for Kennedy, while we get placed our
1:26:25
outreach on a bit of a hold as we were waiting for our
1:26:28
candidate and the campaign to make some critical decisions. It
1:26:31
looks like planning behind the scenes for an independent run
1:26:34
was the exact right call. Yes. Our people for Kennedy
1:26:38
leadership team has been busy behind the scenes preparing for
1:26:42
the independent run. And there's a call today for pm Pacific.
1:26:49
John C Dvorak: Now, do we know that this is official? Or is
1:26:51
this off the books? Is this Kennedy has anything to do with
1:26:53
this? Do we know? Adam Curry: We don't know. But there's a lot of people who
1:26:57
apparently are on these calls. And and you know, I I think
1:27:03
there's still a flair for the DNC saying hey, you know, I'm
1:27:08
pretty serious about this independent, independent party.
1:27:12
If you don't let me in if you don't, don't play fair with me.
1:27:15
This may be a last ditch, you know, like last last call, like
1:27:19
come on. John C Dvorak: I don't think it's the last call. But
1:27:27
definitely a shot across the bow.
1:27:30
Adam Curry: Well, they're saying that it's coming a week earlier than they thought it would be. People, people for Kennedy make
1:27:37
people for kennedy.com number for him. You see people number
1:27:42
four kennedy.com. They must be just a bunch of groupies. I'm
1:27:50
not sure John C Dvorak: it could be the Republicans who knows.
1:27:54
Adam Curry: Speaking of. So, while I don't I really don't
1:27:59
know what's happening while Kennedy is doing that, saying
1:28:03
I'm gonna take down I'm gonna sue the CDC and FDA and the EPA
1:28:08
and the FBI and I'm going to restructure the CIA. Here's
1:28:13
Trump, here's Trump and California at the GOP convention
1:28:16
Unknown: and we will immediately stop all of the pillaging and
1:28:19
theft very simply. If you rob a store, you can fully expect to
1:28:24
be shot as you are leaving that shot.
1:28:33
Adam Curry: What is this? Why is he doing this? I mean to genius.
1:28:40
John C Dvorak: Do you think that's he's got a lot of attention from everybody and their sister and got a big round
1:28:46
of applause at the convention. And it's it's it's funny.
1:28:53
Adam Curry: Unless you're the one stealing John C Dvorak: well, don't steal you only get shot. Yeah, but
1:28:59
that's Adam Curry: when they when the people were the umbrellas during
1:29:03
the George Floyd Gambit when they broke the windows on all
1:29:08
the stores. That's what kicked it off. I met I talked to moe
1:29:11
about this. He says this is not going to this is not going to
1:29:15
subside. It's only going to get worse. only going to get worse.
1:29:23
Me You see Philadelphia earlier in the week. Yeah, I mean that
1:29:28
was a mess. Yeah, the looting. And it was for another another
1:29:33
person shot. And then you know this instantly using
1:29:37
John C Dvorak: any excuse, instigators there's all kinds
1:29:39
Adam Curry: of stuff going on. This was this was something from
1:29:41
Trump's speech I thought was quite funny. It take
1:29:44
Unknown: you to shower they're told to hurry up you're only
1:29:46
allowed a small amount of water when they take issue. That's why
1:29:49
rich people from Beverly Hills generally speaking don't smell
1:29:52
so good. Typically, never notice inadequate. Their hygiene is not
1:30:00
Good, but it's forced to be that way. So when you meet somebody
1:30:05
with a beautiful house in Beverly Hills, you know, that
1:30:07
person is sort of disgusting under Adam Curry: that I like that's, that's
1:30:15
John C Dvorak: developing and that's that's a rewrite of his
1:30:18
old material about the not enough water comes out you can't
1:30:22
wet your hair. Adam Curry: But what's interesting is it actually falls
1:30:26
into line into a weird way with the World Economic Forum, the
1:30:31
new messaging for climate change. And there's this woman,
1:30:37
what is her name? She is let me see I have her here. She is
1:30:47
Mariana mazzucato. And she is a climate change. She's an agenda
1:30:55
contributor, now you go. So she's in marketing. And she's
1:31:00
complaining about how they sucked it at getting everybody
1:31:04
in the world vaccinated, then we have to have different messaging
1:31:08
for climate change. Now, that's also
1:31:11
Unknown: of course, too, with COVID. Right? We are all only as healthy as our neighbors on our
1:31:15
street and our city, and our region and our nation. And
1:31:18
globally. Did we solve that? Like, did we actually manage to
1:31:22
vaccinate everyone in the world? No. So highlighting water is a
1:31:26
global commons and what it means to work together and see it both
1:31:30
out of that kind of global commons perspective, but also
1:31:32
the self interest perspective, because it is, it does have that
1:31:35
parallel. It's not only important, but it's also
1:31:37
important because we haven't managed to solve those problems,
1:31:41
which had similar attributes. And water is something that
1:31:43
people understand. You know, climate change is a bit
1:31:46
abstract. Some people understand it really well. Some understand
1:31:49
it a bit. Some just don't understand water. Every kid
1:31:52
knows how important it is to have water when you're playing football, and you're thirsty, you need water. So there's also
1:31:57
something about really getting citizen engagement around this
1:32:00
and really, in some ways, experimenting with this notion
1:32:03
of the common good. Can we actually deliver this time in
1:32:06
ways that we have failed miserably? Other times, and
1:32:09
hopefully, we won't keep failing on the other things, but anyway,
1:32:13
Adam Curry: you know, this kind of woman? Unknown: Oh, the worst?
1:32:16
Adam Curry: Yes. Well, we failed miserably. Do we actually, were
1:32:19
able to vaccinate every person on the wall? Wow. So climate
1:32:23
change, people don't care. They're proud to just say we're
1:32:25
not gonna have any water. That's what are you saying?
1:32:30
John C Dvorak: Yeah, she's a creep.
1:32:33
Adam Curry: And they should hire the curry Devorah Consulting Group. We know how to do it.
1:32:38
John C Dvorak: We could definitely do better than her. Adam Curry: So
1:32:44
John C Dvorak: I've got I got a kind of a tribute series of
1:32:47
clips that might be worth playing now tribute.
1:32:50
Adam Curry: Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. I'd like tributes.
1:32:53
John C Dvorak: This is a tribute to the moms for liberty.
1:32:57
Adam Curry: Really, how are they doing? You know, when I'm mayor
1:33:00
of Fredericksburg and let them run the city. That's That's my
1:33:02
plan. That's my platform. John C Dvorak: That's right, which I we've talked about off
1:33:07
off like, Adam Curry: yeah, this off my there's calls for me to be to
1:33:12
run for mayor. There's actual calls. Yes,
1:33:14
John C Dvorak: I'm calling for it. Adam Curry: I just do a podcast with you every morning. You say
1:33:20
hey, how's it going in Fredericksburg? Well, let me tell you, John. Hello? Caller Yeah, my trash didn't get picked
1:33:27
up. Oh, okay. John C Dvorak: That is kind of the drawback to the
1:33:35
Adam Curry: job. Where's my bin? John C Dvorak: They stole my bin.
1:33:41
Adam Curry: All right, mom's for liberty. All right. I like my food. Oh, no, what's happening?
1:33:45
John C Dvorak: So they had the head of the moms for liberty. I
1:33:48
believe this is NTD. Is this the naturals would then bring their
1:33:51
mom's brother because they have chapters.
1:33:53
Adam Curry: It's all individual chatter. This John C Dvorak: is but just the national. Okay. And I think this
1:33:58
is worth there's three part clip and I think it's worth listening
1:34:01
to what she has to say Unknown: is there a connection between the Justice Department's
1:34:05
targeting of a parental advocacy group and the Southern Poverty
1:34:08
Law Center's designating one prominent group as extremist. We
1:34:12
speak with a co founder of moms for Liberty about the many
1:34:16
challenges facing parents who want a stronger voice and their
1:34:19
children's education. Tiffany justice, thank you so much for
1:34:22
joining us. Thank you for having me today. Really appreciate it. Tiffany.
1:34:27
To begin the Heritage Foundation is suing the FBI and DOJ on your
1:34:31
behalf mom's for liberty, what are they trying to find out
1:34:34
here? Yeah, we're trying to find out what is the SPLC talking about
1:34:38
moms for Liberty about me and the co founder Tina desk KOVITCH
1:34:41
with the Biden administration, and it seems like the answer is
1:34:44
yes. Apparently they have something to hide because they
1:34:47
haven't replied to any of the requests for information.
1:34:50
And why do you suspect the FBI DOJ or the Biden administration
1:34:54
is acting on the SPLC whose behalf
1:34:57
you know, when COVID hit parents had a lot Have questions right?
1:35:01
Their schools were shut down and they were speaking out, they
1:35:03
were very concerned about what they were seeing taught to their
1:35:05
children. And they asked a lot of questions. And I think what
1:35:09
we saw was a reaction by the teachers union, the National
1:35:12
School Board Association to go to the DOJ. Right, and to
1:35:15
instigate some action on the Biden administration to protect
1:35:18
them. The truth is only three in 10 children in America are
1:35:22
reading on grade level. And I have to be honest, I think it's
1:35:24
something that the education industrial complex really wants
1:35:27
to hide. Adam Curry: Well, there was a lot in there, who's suing who?
1:35:34
John C Dvorak: There's a well, the moms for Liberty, liberty
1:35:38
are suing for information regarding the fact that they
1:35:42
were put on a terrorist watch list. And they believe it's
1:35:47
because of the Southern Poverty Law Center who doesn't like
1:35:51
them? Oh, Adam Curry: douchebags. Of course. Yeah. What happened? We
1:35:56
John C Dvorak: know that not everybody knows that. Not
1:35:58
everybody knows. Adam Curry: Such a cool name of Southern Poverty Law Center, the
1:36:02
good people. I mean, that's like one one hour cleaner.
1:36:06
John C Dvorak: Exactly. By the way, like the fact that this
1:36:09
woman's name is Tiffany justice. It's a good name. You think is a
1:36:13
great name. Okay. Adam Curry: Hey, everybody, Tiffany justice in the morning.
1:36:18
Here's the weather. John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's a good morning zoo name. Good, WW II
1:36:24
name. And now? Definitely, justice,
1:36:28
Unknown: justice. And so what has been the fallout on your
1:36:32
group, especially after the SPLC added your group to this hate
1:36:37
and extremism report? Yeah, they put a target on the backs of American moms and dads,
1:36:42
there are people citing the SPLC designation and trying to use it
1:36:46
to hurt us to cancel us to docs us to shut us down to threaten
1:36:49
us to justify violence in many times being suggested. And it's
1:36:53
concerning to us. And, you know, we know what the SPLC
1:36:56
designation has done with other groups in the past. And there's
1:36:58
no doubt that it was meant to try to damage our reputation and
1:37:01
our ability to be Americans and to have our voice heard, which
1:37:05
is our constitutional right. And TIF now I want to cite something you wrote. So you said
1:37:10
that exercising our free speech rights to attend public school
1:37:13
board meetings that decide how our public schools operate is
1:37:17
not extremism, it is American. So how does the criticism that
1:37:21
you all have received kind of reflects society's changing view
1:37:26
on parents goals in their children's education?
1:37:29
The idea that parents getting involved in their children's
1:37:32
education is somehow anti government or extremists is just
1:37:35
ridiculous. American parents want to have their voice heard
1:37:38
at that very local level. And we endorsed in over 500 School
1:37:42
Board races in 2022. And over 275 candidates were elected to
1:37:46
school board office in 76%. Of those Tiffany, were first time
1:37:51
candidates. So what you see is a whole new group of people
1:37:53
getting involved in American politics, and I think it's
1:37:55
making the people in power. Very, very scared.
1:37:59
Adam Curry: This is exactly what they're doing. Because you know,
1:38:01
it is the moms for Liberty people who are like, yeah, he
1:38:04
should be mayor. Come on, come on. You can do it. John C Dvorak: Yeah, they're their political activist. But I
1:38:09
think Adam Curry: this is not a good idea. You know, you want your
1:38:12
message to not be bold, there. Daxing. Us. That's what's going
1:38:16
to happen. You need to go into you need to carry firearms, you
1:38:19
know, you they need to get more radical, I think.
1:38:24
John C Dvorak: The homes for liberty with guns.
1:38:27
Adam Curry: Oh, hello. Yeah. It's just, it's just the
1:38:31
thought. It's used
1:38:33
John C Dvorak: the third part. Yeah. Unknown: And as we head into the 2024, election season, education
1:38:38
has become a huge issue for all sides. What do you see as the
1:38:42
solution here, more parents getting involved, more community conversations
1:38:47
happening? We just had a town hall in Montgomery County,
1:38:49
Maryland, we had Jewish parents, Christian parents, Mormon
1:38:53
parents, Muslim parents coming together to talk about how we
1:38:57
move forward to protect our kids that you know, you unifying
1:38:59
parents around parental rights is what's going to save this
1:39:02
country at Mom's for Liberty, we believe that and we're going to
1:39:04
keep bringing parents together across the country. Adam Curry: That's interesting that that now, of course, she
1:39:10
mentions all these different religious groups, but they're
1:39:12
all parents. This is happening worldwide. This there is a
1:39:16
trend. And this is a clip that I got last week. This is Belgium,
1:39:23
Belgium of all places. Listen to what's going on there and see if
1:39:27
you can find the common common theme
1:39:31
Unknown: since the start of the school year. These five letters
1:39:33
have ignited tensions in Belgium. of Ross the French
1:39:37
acronym meaning education and relational emotional and sexual
1:39:40
life is an educational workshop proposed to be given in schools
1:39:44
that's provoked the anger of these demonstrators, Muslims,
1:39:47
fundamentalist Catholics and conspiracy theorists have joined
1:39:50
together to demand the suppression of these workshops.
1:39:54
teach our children if you're a boy, but believe in your head
1:39:57
that you're a girl. You can become a girl we'll
1:39:59
live it Concerns are so strong that several schools have been
1:40:02
set on fire in Belgium over the past few weeks ago disapproves
1:40:07
of such vandalism. But he says as a Muslim, he doesn't want his
1:40:10
children to receive this teaching before.
1:40:14
One of us it's a big problem to be forced to accept something
1:40:17
that we cannot accept. It doesn't just concern the Arab
1:40:22
and Muslim jaspera. In the last demonstration, there were also
1:40:27
many Europeans have the tools used in schools come from family planning
1:40:33
programs, their director has agreed to show us the equipment
1:40:36
used equipment here, I have a booklet that allows you to talk about the issue of
1:40:41
periods. It's a way for her to counter the misinformation about these
1:40:46
workshops, especially on the question of gender.
1:40:49
There's a lot of confusion. When we talk about gender, there's
1:40:52
already the question of gender stereotypes. It's important to
1:40:56
address when it comes to equality. transition issues,
1:40:59
obviously, no one is going to child transition to
1:41:03
Adam Curry: you right, not yet. But so you hear the same thing.
1:41:07
Before almost John C Dvorak: identical it sounds like a story from around
1:41:11
Illinois or some places like a worldwide phenomenon. That is
1:41:15
orchestrated, Adam Curry: yes. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's just like it's all
1:41:20
globalist stuff. I thought it was interesting Muslims, radical
1:41:28
Catholics, and conspiracy theorists. Just religion is that
1:41:34
all John C Dvorak: the shame? Throw them all.
1:41:38
Adam Curry: But and then they're the little you know, in little
1:41:42
Belgium, they've lightened the schools on fire.
1:41:46
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's probably the way to do it. Not
1:41:50
we're not a fight about your gun toting moms for liberty and
1:41:53
under light the school on fire is probably not if I'm
1:41:55
Adam Curry: mayor, not gonna be lightened no schools on fire.
1:41:59
No. No, I think we have to do this now.
1:42:11
Back, Ben, everybody, COVID is still with us. And there's
1:42:15
trouble in paradise trouble in paradise. We've got a problem. I
1:42:22
don't know if you heard. But these, these free shots are not
1:42:27
free. And I shall go back to a couple of weeks ago when we had
1:42:34
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former FDA administrator now on the board
1:42:39
of Pfizer, and what's the alumina? alumina? Illuminati,
1:42:46
Illuminati, he's on the board of the Illuminati. This is what he
1:42:49
said a couple of weeks ago. Unknown: What's different as we go into the fall back to school
1:42:53
is that the federal government emergency programs have largely
1:42:56
stopped. So people have to actually plan getting their
1:42:59
vaccine, you can't get them for free everywhere. How is that
1:43:03
going to impact what the season looks like ahead?
1:43:06
Yeah, so insurers are going to cover these vaccines in the same
1:43:08
way they cover flu vaccines for people who have insurance for
1:43:11
people who are underinsured or uninsured, the administration
1:43:13
has a program where people are going to be able to get these
1:43:16
for free at pharmacies, that program should be up and running
1:43:19
by the time these vaccines become available. And they'll
1:43:21
also be free of charge at federally qualified community
1:43:24
health centers and also public health departments day one. So
1:43:27
they should be widely it doesn't mean there's not going to be
1:43:29
gaps in coverage and people who face certain hardships but
1:43:32
broadly BrahMos people should be able to get these free of charge
1:43:36
without a copay based on what I'm seeing right now from the
1:43:39
insurance companies Adam Curry: so free it should be free basically. So they're doing
1:43:42
a deal so at the time they were doing a deal hey, look, we gotta
1:43:45
have these free we got to we got to get this all jacked up. We
1:43:48
gotta we gotta get people free free boosters free but Oh,
1:43:52
saline. Dr. Celine, this seems like you have a problem.
1:43:55
Alright, so Unknown: some people are having trouble with the updated
1:43:57
COVID-19 vaccine being approved by their insurance, what's going
1:44:02
on there. So you've had a transition from the US government providing the
1:44:06
COVID vaccine to now business as usual, which means the private
1:44:09
sector. And so there have been a number of glitches with
1:44:12
insurance billing codes, shipping a vaccines, which has
1:44:15
led to a lot of problems. If you have private insurance, whether
1:44:18
it's private Medicare, Medicaid, you should have your free
1:44:22
vaccine. no cost to you. It's covered by insurance since
1:44:26
September 11. But because of these glitches, there have been
1:44:30
some issues. You may want to wait until early to mid October
1:44:33
just for these things to get ironed out. If you do get your
1:44:36
vaccine now. You may need to resubmit or appeal a denial, but
1:44:40
you should get it for free. Adam Curry: The no agenda show always gets very suspicious when
1:44:44
we hear the term glitch. Unknown: Yes,
1:44:46
shut up about the glitch. Adam Curry: I think something happened. I think there's
1:44:52
something with the vaccines. They can't ship them out. They
1:44:56
don't have enough. They want people to wait. So Something is
1:45:00
up. glitches are bullcrap. But the computer systems don't work
1:45:06
now is that the glitch? John C Dvorak: So they're blaming the fact that they're
1:45:12
not so they're making some just another is a phony story. You're
1:45:15
as you're making the claim that there there is no. The vaccine
1:45:20
might not be available might not be working. It might be
1:45:23
something wrong with it. There may be a million things wrong,
1:45:25
but they're blaming insurance or creating a smokescreen? Yes. A
1:45:30
glitch in terms of using the word glitch. Yeah.
1:45:36
Adam Curry: Very suspicious. Yeah,
1:45:39
John C Dvorak: probably. Yeah, there's no reason for this sort
1:45:43
of thing. Adam Curry: And then the covering it up with the other
1:45:45
free stuff, which we know but these clips are still worth
1:45:49
listening to it later into the fall here. We might be looking
1:45:51
at another buddy Hey, yo, we got we got football seasons coming
1:45:56
up. You know, we got, you know, close down baseball. But yeah,
1:45:59
we're coming to the ball COVID seasons here
1:46:01
Unknown: later into the fall here and we might be looking at another COVID surge in the not so distant future not
1:46:06
Adam Curry: so distant future. Why is he puking at me like
1:46:09
this, the federal government Unknown: is once again offering free home test kits to
1:46:13
Americans. And for more on this, we are joined by CBS News
1:46:15
Medical contributor, Dr. Celine gounder, who is also editor at
1:46:18
large public health pff. Dr. gounder, thank you very much for
1:46:21
being here. So free COVID test once again. Why now.
1:46:25
So as of yesterday, COVID test.gov is up and running
1:46:28
again, the government wants to make sure everybody every
1:46:32
household has tests on hand head of the holidays, because you
1:46:35
have people of different generations who are coming
1:46:38
together close together over the holidays. So it's a risk for
1:46:41
grandma, grandpa, we just want to make sure that people know if
1:46:44
they have COVID and might be infectious to others Adam Curry: to grandma. Okay, so now Now, this is the other
1:46:51
problem, which is there's not a lot of answers coming out of the
1:46:54
doctor. A lot of Unknown: us have those tests stockpiled and some of them have
1:46:57
expired. Sometimes with food, sometimes there's medication
1:47:01
even though it's expired, you can still eat it. Effective.
1:47:05
So the FDA has extended expiration dates on the tests.
1:47:09
There's actually information about this on the CBS morning's
1:47:11
dot com website. You can look up your specific brand and see if
1:47:15
yours is still valid. No,
1:47:18
John C Dvorak: yeah, Horowitz bitched about this because he
1:47:20
wanted to get some tests. And he went to the website and on the
1:47:23
website, it said, Hey, these tests probably have an
1:47:27
expiration date. That's that's already shows they're expired.
1:47:30
But no, we've extended it.
1:47:32
Adam Curry: And when asked when pressed on it, so what is what
1:47:35
is the date? You can't really answer? Unknown: I heard you say that. I know. We can look it up. But if
1:47:39
we don't feel like looking it up, is there a certain time if
1:47:42
it's two weeks late, if it's that the expired tests? Were a
1:47:46
month late? Two months late? Do you happen to know?
1:47:48
Yeah, I mean, two weeks a month later is not an issue. But you
1:47:52
really don't want to be using it. Adam Curry: Just make it up? Yeah, two weeks for goat's milk.
1:47:57
You can still drink that a Unknown: month late. Two months late. Do you want to know? Yeah,
1:48:01
I mean, two weeks a month later is not an issue. But you really
1:48:05
don't want to be using it way beyond the extended expiration
1:48:08
date Adam Curry: way beyond what does this mean John C Dvorak: way be extended? Go back. It's not gonna hurt
1:48:14
you. Unknown: Got it. Thank you very much. Appreciate it.
1:48:20
Adam Curry: I mean, a valid question, a journalistic
1:48:23
question, which you can expect from CBS mornings would be well,
1:48:26
if they're expired, what happens? Do they give you faulty
1:48:29
results? They give you false positives, false negatives.
1:48:32
These are the questions the American people deserve to have.
1:48:34
Exactly. That's the exact question you'd ask but the the
1:48:37
fact that they're not tells me something what
1:48:39
John C Dvorak: happens when they expire? Do they not work at all?
1:48:43
Or do they just make everything you know false answers or these
1:48:48
are the typically happens, by the way, these are chemical
1:48:51
tests. It seems to me that the reagents used and everything in
1:48:57
between is lifelong stuff that should go for years and years
1:49:01
and years. It's not a budget as far as I know, it's not a bunch
1:49:04
of sketchy organic compounds that are going to react to you
1:49:09
know prematurely and and become useless or peroxides that are
1:49:13
gonna blow up the test like they Adam Curry: were good to begin with. It would they wouldn't
1:49:18
well there's that these tests are not real they don't really
1:49:21
know these are these are John C Dvorak: the I think you should repackage them as
1:49:26
pregnancy tests. Adam Curry: There's an idea gender reveal tests anything
1:49:36
just There you go. It's a boy doesn't matter. You can become a
1:49:40
girl later if you feel like that. Depends on what your what
1:49:44
what you choose. Update on the Russell Brand situation although
1:49:53
it has quieted down a little bit. But as predict Did the
1:50:00
going after rumble This is
1:50:05
John C Dvorak: dangerous rumble Adam Curry: very dangerous. And they're also and rumble also
1:50:11
owns locals which Oh it does Yeah, which is grand grand Green
1:50:15
Road Glenn Greenwald's outfit, you know, the one that he got
1:50:18
stuck for and moved from substack. And here we have an
1:50:25
outfit called the news movement who seemed they look like
1:50:31
volunteers, but their website looks a lot like the Global
1:50:34
Coalition for tech justice. There's a lot of money going
1:50:38
after big tech, but really problematic platforms like
1:50:42
rumble. And so they feign as a news organization, and if you're
1:50:48
a news organization and Russell Brand is on is on. Rumble, what
1:50:53
do you do? You You know how journalism works? What do you
1:50:57
do? Who are you going to go interview what are the questions
1:51:00
you want to ask? A writer? No, John C Dvorak: but you develop a hit piece? Yeah,
1:51:03
Unknown: we're in the midst of a crisis sorry,
1:51:06
this netplay this one first massive brands including Burger
1:51:09
King, a source London's Barbican Centre, and HelloFresh have
1:51:12
pulled advertising from Russell Brand's rumble channel three of
1:51:15
the companies removed their ads from rumble altogether after the
1:51:17
news movement found they were appearing alongside brands
1:51:20
videos Burger King has paused advertising on brands channel
1:51:23
while broadcasters and police look at claims of rape and
1:51:25
sexual assault against him brand has a huge audience on rumble
1:51:28
with over 1.4 million followers. There's been concerned about the
1:51:31
increasing discussion of conspiracy theories and his
1:51:33
videos. The comedian's been accused of rape and sexual
1:51:36
assault against four women. He denies the claims to them
1:51:39
approach other brands including Ralph Lauren, eBay and Hilton
1:51:41
Hotels whose ads all appeared on brand's channel but none of the
1:51:44
reply to request for comment YouTube suspended as from his
1:51:47
channel on their site for allegedly violating create
1:51:50
policies and the BBC has removed some shows brand made while
1:51:53
working there. Burger King said the company had paused all
1:51:55
advertising while investigations into the allegations of ongoing
1:51:59
Asus declined to comment but TNM understands the company removed
1:52:02
their ads this week. HelloFresh said thanks for pointing this
1:52:04
out to us. We have manually removed our ads from rump the
1:52:07
barber consent, we've now asked our media agency to exclude this
1:52:10
site from where our ads appear. Rabu has said it doesn't plan to
1:52:13
remove ads from branded content altogether. But it hasn't
1:52:16
replied to requests for comment. Google and brand himself have
1:52:19
yet to reply to us either. Adam Curry: So they just went to all the advertisers and said,
1:52:23
Hey, do you know your advertising next to this horrible conspiracy theorists, so called rapists? What's the
1:52:28
brand? Yeah, John C Dvorak: by the way, the charge has been filed on his
1:52:31
rapes? Adam Curry: I don't think so. No, of course not. You know, the
1:52:35
media are not allowed to speak about this as a gag order. And
1:52:43
you can be sued by the by the British government, if you
1:52:46
interfere with their possible maybe investigation because it's
1:52:53
still, you know, kind of kind of iffy if they're going to do
1:52:56
anything. But they literally said you cannot report on this
1:53:00
Russell Brand issue on this particular part about the rapes.
1:53:03
Because if you do, then you may be seen as interfering in an
1:53:05
investigation and you can be hauled into into court, by the
1:53:10
government. Yeah. How does that work?
1:53:14
John C Dvorak: They do that stuff all the time in the UK.
1:53:18
Adam Curry: That is, wow. Magna Carta be damned. No freedom of
1:53:25
speech. It's the model is the model of the future. Yeah, for
1:53:29
sure. And so here's this global coalition for tech justice, and
1:53:35
they're all up in arms Unknown: were in the midst of a crisis, and every second counts.
1:53:41
2024 is a make or break year for democracy and freedoms globally,
1:53:47
as over 2 billion people are due to vote in 65 elections across
1:53:52
the world. But we worry our social media companies ready for
1:53:57
the election tsunami. Will they stop online disinformation, hate
1:54:03
and abuse spilling over into real world violence? They
1:54:09
happened in the past capitol. Do you remember
1:54:16
Adam Curry: this guy? The showing the shaman guy
1:54:18
Unknown: he's done the US Capitol with a mob of history?
1:54:22
No. Adam Curry: They literally say so they show the shaman guy that
1:54:26
highlight him in the video and then say like he he led the
1:54:28
insurrection. Unknown: Do you remember this guy? He stormed the US Capitol
1:54:34
with he said he stormed Yeah, I don't know Trump supporters in
1:54:39
2021 after Trump refused to concede the feet in the
1:54:43
presidential race. Two years later, supporters of President
1:54:48
Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil also attacked government buildings in
1:54:52
the lead up to the attacks. Social media was flooded with
1:54:56
this information about the legitimacy of the votes uncalled
1:55:00
for violence. This happens in stable democracies. And before
1:55:06
Silicon Valley giants, that staff meant to keep their
1:55:09
platform face to cup costs. These are not isolated cases,
1:55:17
big tech companies have a track record of allowing abuses and
1:55:21
undermining democracy, and 2024 will pose the biggest risk yet
1:55:26
to people and elections with social media at its most
1:55:31
powerful investments and platform safety should be
1:55:34
proportionate to the risk of harm nots market size. Companies
1:55:40
must address this gross inequality. But they invested
1:55:43
billions to protect the US elections and neglected global
1:55:47
majority countries where they pose a serious risk to rights
1:55:51
and freedoms in 2024. The clock is ticking. Big tech protects
1:56:00
people under elections.
1:56:03
Adam Curry: So yeah, John C Dvorak: what the hell was
1:56:05
Adam Curry: that? So what they're claiming, is
1:56:08
John C Dvorak: that all names, give me the name of this
1:56:11
operation again, Adam Curry: oh, it's a sore. Surprise, that all leads to
1:56:15
sorrows, the global or the open. Open Institute, global coalition
1:56:22
for tech justice for Operation Ford Foundation Bill and Melinda
1:56:27
Gates Foundation's Open Society Institute, they
1:56:30
John C Dvorak: should all be ashamed of themselves for letting something like that get produced under their auspices.
1:56:36
Adam Curry: Yes, yes. Don't you think? Yeah, I agree. I agree.
1:56:41
And, but you know, so what they're saying now is, oh, it's
1:56:45
all the tech companies and they fired all of their, their trust
1:56:48
and safety staff. And it's all there. They didn't know that.
1:56:54
That's what they that's what they're saying. Literally,
1:56:57
they're saying, Oh, no, they, they want to cut costs.
1:57:02
John C Dvorak: And well, that's for sure. Adam Curry: And in France, they're going they're taking a
1:57:08
page out of our playbook from the Obama days, because we know
1:57:11
how this started. Just Just to reiterate, all of this started
1:57:17
with bullying. For at least two years, we had reports about oh,
1:57:25
kids get bullied, they're getting bullied as bullying at
1:57:28
school and bullying. And I know this because we kept saying how
1:57:32
we grew up sticks and stone and we were not even from the same
1:57:36
generation sticks and stones will break my bones but names
1:57:38
will never hurt me. You know, you got to stand up to the
1:57:41
bullies. But no, what do we get? We got bullying laws. Which were
1:57:49
inherently unconstitutional.
1:57:54
John C Dvorak: Yeah, anti free speech. Yeah. But we got local
1:57:58
Adam Curry: laws. And now they're just ratcheting it up.
1:58:01
And now now we got to do this in France.
1:58:05
Unknown: The new measures will include citizen training courses
1:58:08
for bullies. serious cases could be referred directly to
1:58:11
prosecutors, that the worst bullies could end up in prison.
1:58:15
There'll be a new bullying hotline and November the ninth
1:58:18
will become a national anti bullying day. Government is
1:58:22
promising school children it means to protect them.
1:58:25
The whole class schedule Shambo effect on your classes to your
1:58:30
bedrooms, sometimes 24 hours a day on social networks for you
1:58:34
bullying is everywhere and all of the time. The mobilization
1:58:38
must be universal. Everyone has a role to play with all my
1:58:42
government, we stand with you and will fight relentlessly
1:58:45
against bullying. school bullying hit the headlines earlier this month
1:58:50
with the suicide of a 15 year old boy known as Nicholas. He
1:58:54
attended this school near Paris and only moved there this term
1:58:57
after being bullied at his previous school. The tragedy
1:59:00
shocked France. It was also revealed that local education
1:59:04
authorities sent a threatening letter to Nicholas his parents
1:59:07
after they complained about the bullying. Days later, President
1:59:11
Emmanuel Macron his wife Bridgette, a former teacher, at
1:59:14
the local town hall to talk to local officials, and then spent
1:59:18
time with Nicholas his family. Bullying in French schools is a
1:59:22
growing problem with the recent poll indicating 14% of children
1:59:26
have suffered some form of harassment at school.
1:59:29
Adam Curry: Bullying harassment I grew up with nothing I had to
1:59:33
rats the wrong hair the wrong shoes, stupid blue jeans,
1:59:38
John C Dvorak: ad dumb. Adam Curry: Ad dumb Where's Eve I was bullied by the way. Girls
1:59:44
beat me up John C Dvorak: until you told me that the ad DME moniker that you
1:59:53
received in this Dutch schools. I never heard of that gag in my
1:59:57
entire life. Adam Curry: Ah, well, you don't know a lot about atoms,
2:00:01
John C Dvorak: that we had atoms in our schools, but no one that
2:00:03
little bit, uh, never eluded me, I guess or eluded us. But
2:00:07
Adam Curry: what I mean, we just we need to, people need to stop
2:00:11
this. How about suck it up? John C Dvorak: Well, here's the thing about that one kid who
2:00:16
killed himself. He had to be someone must have been somewhat
2:00:19
suicidal bear in mind. He quit the school because he was being
2:00:24
bullied there immediately goes to another school where he's
2:00:27
immediately bullied. But is there a bully underground
2:00:30
network or something? Where you'd say, hey, Bill's coming
2:00:34
over there. And he's gonna He's been bullied over here. So make
2:00:37
sure you bully. Ah, so something's up with that story.
2:00:43
Adam Curry: Well, it's the control messaging is to control
2:00:46
what Silicon Valley messaging is doing. We need to go back to RSS
2:00:50
people. Bring, bring?
2:00:53
John C Dvorak: The answer to everything is the oh, Adam Curry: look, podcasting is still free and available.
2:00:59
John C Dvorak: Until No, and there's no
2:01:01
Adam Curry: there's no until we even have ways where you don't
2:01:04
need a hosting company. You can just throw it on IPFS it lives
2:01:08
out there. And the interplanetary file system. This
2:01:11
is this has all been taken into account. There's no way they can
2:01:15
never take down podcasting. But people need to go back to blogs.
2:01:22
You know, Google hates RSS so much. What was the most popular
2:01:26
RSS product? Google Reader? They love Google Reader.
2:01:31
John C Dvorak: Everybody loves Google Reader. Yeah, Adam Curry: it was like, you know, email for blogs. And you
2:01:36
could Yeah, it was great. Yeah. And then they shut it down where
2:01:40
they do. Google Plus their own died, of course, because the
2:01:46
stupid and now they're closing down Google podcasts. Why RSS?
2:01:52
What are they? What are they going to give you in return? Oh,
2:01:55
you can put it down in YouTube music. Yeah. Will ingest your
2:01:59
RSS? Uh huh.
2:02:03
John C Dvorak: I don't know why they have such a hard on for RSS
2:02:06
Adam Curry: because they can't control it. And they can they
2:02:08
can John C Dvorak: algo control a lot of stuff.
2:02:12
Adam Curry: Maybe they're scared? How about that? Maybe
2:02:14
they're scared or something that people actually will use and
2:02:17
like, and have control over? How about that? They need. They need
2:02:22
to keep tricking people into staying. If you're on Instagram,
2:02:26
and the and the algo. See that member pain and suffering. The
2:02:30
algo see that you're about to close the app. They shoot you
2:02:34
five likes, oh, you got five likes? Oh, cool. Check it out
2:02:39
real quick. How about if your kids being bullied? How about
2:02:43
how about No, no phones in the school? John C Dvorak: Get off the apps. Somebody was I don't have the
2:02:48
clip. But it was one of the old clips where we didn't play as
2:02:50
somebody's talking about I think it was Kennedy or somebody else
2:02:53
saying, well, he's getting a lot of flack for on the social
2:02:56
media, but he doesn't care because he's not on the social
2:02:59
media. Exactly. You know, if you're not on the social media,
2:03:04
it's not gonna have any effect on you. And people aren't even
2:03:06
gonna do it because well, you know, you're let's bully her.
2:03:09
Well, she doesn't she won't ever read it. So what difference does
2:03:11
it make I got other things to do with my time. Adam Curry: There was a guy yesterday. He was from Nashville
2:03:16
and done a lot with with Nashville music companies and
2:03:21
work for Dave Ramsey. And, you know, all these people knew knew
2:03:24
a lot about social media and algorithms. And he says if you
2:03:27
have 100,000 followers, and you want you want to send out a
2:03:33
message, do you know what percentage you will actually
2:03:35
reach? Because the algos don't really send it to your
2:03:39
followers? Do you know what the percentages is? Shocking?
2:03:41
John C Dvorak: Got to be less than 10% Four point 93 It sounds
2:03:45
right. And I think i i empirically figured this out
2:03:52
myself by messaging. I'm seeing the effects of messaging on
2:03:59
Twitter when I had 10,000 followers in the early days and
2:04:03
I have 100,000 followers now Yeah. And I would get good at
2:04:08
the same thing with Macedon I get good responses to a
2:04:12
suggestion or a link and I get almost nothing when I do it on
2:04:16
Twitter now with 100,000 now there's no dare I'd seen it.
2:04:19
Nobody's saying anything. Adam Curry: So everybody's now move including was specifically
2:04:23
mentioned that MailChimp is going to be offering SMS text
2:04:27
service so that you can then send the newsletter, a guest
2:04:33
with a link to people's phone.
2:04:37
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I don't have any I didn't collect numbers. I'm sorry. I don't have numbers to send it to.
2:04:44
Adam Curry: No, no, no, I understand. But I'm just saying
2:04:48
that that's where the because email has been so suppressed us
2:04:52
to redemptions we can bet we could. This is what is RSS is
2:04:56
just email by subscription. But now we have to we have to To go
2:05:00
with the with the with the MailChimp system, but now people
2:05:05
are using text messaging more and more. Guess what Apple's
2:05:09
gonna come in, they're gonna have all kinds of filters and
2:05:12
algos, so your AI message will stop anything from coming in
2:05:15
that they deem Matic. John C Dvorak: Yeah, I have to have two clips. Okay. Kind of on
2:05:22
the topic. Alright, teens phones one who
2:05:26
Unknown: teens are distracted by around 237 phone notifications
2:05:30
per day. According to a new report from Common Sense Media.
2:05:33
Of the 200 teens who participated, many got over 500
2:05:37
notifications. 1/4 of these notifications came during school
2:05:41
hours, the team's done looked at their phones for an average of
2:05:43
43 minutes, some for as long as six hours that kids would check
2:05:47
their phones over 100 times per day on average, some saying they
2:05:50
struggled to put them down, she may receive 150 snaps in a day, if not more. There's a
2:05:58
constant. That's nap attack psychotherapist,
2:06:02
calling us our 14 year old daughter is also barraged by
2:06:05
phone notifications. He says having a good relationship with
2:06:08
our teens is a key way to deal with the issue. Or you have the
2:06:11
conversations over and over again about you know, it's
2:06:15
dinner time, let's decide. And let's have our vo when is something really
2:06:22
important. With and something way teens can also access age and appropriate content on their
2:06:26
phones. Almost half of the team participants did So accessing
2:06:30
content like pornography betting apps and violent games reading a
2:06:33
small number in social media to chat with strangers, a risky
2:06:37
phenomenon that could lead to problematic interactions with
2:06:40
adults. Adam Curry: Yeah, I actually heard I heard a statistic
2:06:43
similar that people in general touch their phone over two and a
2:06:49
half 1000 times a day. John C Dvorak: Ie that's definitely not me mine still in
2:06:56
a drawer. I haven't used my phone since December of last
2:06:59
year. Adam Curry: I know but you're also not interested in betting
2:07:02
apps. I John C Dvorak: know who needs that aggravation. To bet on
2:07:10
sports. Park talking to
2:07:12
Unknown: teens are very lonely these days. What the lockdowns
2:07:15
kept them away from their friends. They their only
2:07:18
communication for the most part online so their phone becomes
2:07:23
their friend. And that is really sad
2:07:26
psychiatrists Carole Lieberman says parents can take the phones
2:07:29
away for periods of time and set time limits. They should also
2:07:33
introduce their kids to other activities like sports or dance
2:07:36
class that will help them realize what they're missing out
2:07:39
on is always a process right? There's no end to when we you
2:07:43
know when she's got it really parallel
2:07:45
psychotherapist Carl Nazar says it's 14 year old daughter has
2:07:49
matured with her phone use, she can distinguish between
2:07:52
notifications that are important. And one second Wait,
2:07:55
but there are still times when she gets hooked and that's when
2:07:57
the conversations begin anew. Adam Curry: Well, there's a very simple solution to this is very
2:08:02
simple, and it could be cool. I mean, parents, listen up. Get
2:08:08
out Get your kid get all your kids friends. And give them all
2:08:13
a $25 bow Fang handheld ham radio let them all
2:08:19
John C Dvorak: get a license Yeah, yeah, exactly. The early
2:08:22
early version of the old fart who's on the done the ham all
2:08:26
day hams one of the one of the frequencies all day we're
2:08:31

also become a part of that and always get alerted when
2:10:56

one of the podcast apps at podcast apps.com. All based on
2:11:07
RSS. So you know that will work and not going to get D
2:11:11

2:11:19
be a reasonable place for everybody to you know, it's it's
2:11:23
basically social media without. Without algos, I'd say it's
2:11:27
pretty decent. The people you could you know, you couldn't
2:11:30
take the bow Fang idea for the ham radio, you could also set up
2:11:33
a mastodon server for the for the kids at school. You know,
2:11:37
keep your eye on what's going on. Make sure that you know you
2:11:39

You can you can take it in your own hands parents. How about
2:11:47
that for an idea, John? Yeah. Thank you for your enthusiasm.
2:11:56
Follow Adam, Adam had no agenda, Adam had no agenda social.com
2:12:00
Johnson DeVore I had no agenda social.com we our value for
2:12:03
value. And one of the reasons for that is we didn't want to
2:12:07
have any meetings with advertisers. But also we knew we
2:12:09
would never be able to have any kind of conversation about any
2:12:14
of these topics without being without the news. But the news
2:12:18
moving when those guys called calling up our advertisers. Hey,
2:12:22
you guys said shits there were those guys said, Well, if you
2:12:26
want to advertise a Burger King, you really want to advertise
2:12:29
with those guys. That's what they do. So what they do so
2:12:34
instead, we just said, You know what? Why don't you just send us
2:12:38
any value? If you get any value from the program, we got lots of
2:12:41
people who were very thankful during the lockdowns, I think we
2:12:44
have, we have presented multiple angles to different stories that
2:12:49
help people feel much better, most frequently heard how no
2:12:53
agenda is valuable to me, because I know I'm not the only
2:12:56
crazy one. There's more like me. We have meetups that go along
2:13:01
with that we can meet more of these the same people. And it
2:13:04
turns out they're, you know, the kind of like normal people yet
2:13:08
with real jobs and real lives and real families. And we'd like
2:13:12
to be a part of that. And all we ask is that you return value one
2:13:16
way or the other at some point regularly or not. Whatever you
2:13:19
can do time talent or treasure. Boy, we have so many people who
2:13:24
contribute time. We appreciate all the promotion of the show
2:13:29
that you do. Now, we could use some new SEO people though,
2:13:32
remember that or that one guy came in? And he SEO does and
2:13:35
we're still the top five pages in Google that we can never get
2:13:38
rid of us now. John C Dvorak: Remember that guy? Yeah. No. Yeah, it
2:13:43
Adam Curry: was someone who did that. It was early early on. We
2:13:46
used to have cool domain names Mitt Romney. Do we have mitt
2:13:49
romney.com Someone like that?
2:13:51
John C Dvorak: A lot of great no domain names. There's there used
2:13:53
to be a page filled with them. Adam Curry: Yeah. Oh, there. We still have it. The page is still
2:13:58
there. Get moelis.com and we of course we have Big Mike
2:14:01
2020 four.com. Just in case you never know. You never never
2:14:05
know. Another way people help us out is with talent. Boy, we have
2:14:11
a lot of talented people. People do jingles. They do clips they
2:14:14
do end of show mixes also have information boots on the ground
2:14:18
and we love having brand new art, art that is created by
2:14:24
professionals who get additional value from us. We critique them
2:14:30
honestly. We do. You know you never get that. You know you can
2:14:35
be you know trying to trying to get a gig you know trying to
2:14:38
hey, here's some of my work. And they'll just say now or they
2:14:41
won't even call you won't even call you. Yeah, they don't even
2:14:44
bother. Don't even bother with that will at least tell you what
2:14:46
what happened and what went right or went went wrong. So we
2:14:50
want to thank Dame Kenny Ben, who, who came back and this one
2:14:55
just jumped off the page. This was the attacking rocket
2:15:00
Beautiful piece. By the way, got a note about this The attack
2:15:04
comes from where was it? Yeah. What John C Dvorak: did you find out about the attack comes?
2:15:08
Adam Curry: So attack him is at a CMS That's an acronym for
2:15:12
these types of rockets that we have sent to Ukraine to shoot at
2:15:15
Russia. And here's a note from a producer. I work at Lockheed to
2:15:20
the simulation department for five years on the attack comes
2:15:23
program. The way the media is pronouncing the acronym acronym
2:15:27
is pretty funny. I admit I like it, but that's never how we
2:15:31
pronounce it. It's a tack Holmes I attack them today got a ye i
2:15:37
tak combs it's an ID tag and it's not attack EMS. It's
2:15:41
John C Dvorak: is no good. No, I tagged him is no good. It has to
2:15:44
be Attack, attack, attack, attack. I attack the
2:15:50
Adam Curry: media just do that. They just did that just to make
2:15:53
it sound good. John C Dvorak: They jacked it up. They did a good job.
2:15:56
Adam Curry: Very good job. So damn, Kenny. Man. Thank you so
2:15:58
much was a good piece. And Kenny when we looked at a couple
2:16:01
others. I remember us. You know, we had the NA noise. I guess
2:16:06
when Phoebe got picked up, you're hitting your noise
2:16:09
machines and people were making art about that, which is kind of
2:16:12
weird, because that would never show up in the actual finished
2:16:15
product. So we had a lot of the show a lot of Taylor Swift
2:16:20
related art. John C Dvorak: That's not going to happen. She's gets enough
2:16:24
publicity with us helping. Adam Curry: Yes. People keep sending me notes that she's
2:16:30
transsexual. John C Dvorak: Oh, please. Yeah.
2:16:35
Adam Curry: I'm just telling you. And then I'm crazy for not
2:16:38
seeing it. But she's a guy. Yeah. And so as Megan Megan
2:16:42
Kelly, and a couple
2:16:44
John C Dvorak: moral Megan Kelly has masculine features, but
2:16:47
she's no guy. Adam Curry: She's not a dude. It's weird, though. It's weird.
2:16:53
And so what and then my point is like, okay, so this is some big
2:16:57
hoax that I'm falling for and, and what? And there's never an
2:17:04
answer on that. John C Dvorak: And you can't see it. Yeah, you can. He's, she's a
2:17:09
guy and you can't see it. Adam Curry: I tell ya. I'm telling you. There wasn't you
2:17:17
know, Justin Trudeau with a Hitler mustache? No, that's
2:17:22
John C Dvorak: no, that's not happening. I can do that. And
2:17:24
also the Babylon. Brd did a whole gag about it. Yeah. So we
2:17:29
looked at derivative. Adam Curry: Was there anything else we liked? Was there
2:17:32
anything else? John C Dvorak: There was nothing else we liked?
2:17:35
Adam Curry: What was this? People really taking the Swift
2:17:39
thing to a whole new level man. Do I like the Taylor Swift?
2:17:43
Like, okay, we have a Taylor Swift shoe. I don't understand
2:17:49
that. A lot of the what's the football there's the Taylor
2:17:53
Swift shoe. And it says right is this shoe with Na on it says na
2:17:57
swift balance model 333. I don't understand it.
2:18:03
John C Dvorak: But that's the name of it. But it's just like when our cleaners the shoe is gonna do it. Anything I know.
2:18:08
Adam Curry: So. Yeah, it just didn't seem like there was there
2:18:13
was John C Dvorak: no life. There was no nobody would know the
2:18:16
artists weren't jacked up. They weren't happy to do anything.
2:18:20
They just Yeah, exactly. You know why? I think the one that
2:18:22
did definitive pieces we're sorry, a death, which I think is
2:18:27
pretty much summarizes the art.
2:18:30
Adam Curry: But damn, Kenny Ben's aren't just jumped off the
2:18:32
page. It's like, wow, yeah, that's what you want. I mean,
2:18:35
that that rocket was beautiful. Thank you very much named Kenny
2:18:39
Ben. And of course, we appreciate the effort by every
2:18:42
single one of our artists. Let me see we It looks like there
2:18:45
may be some some stuff that's I haven't looked at all of it yet.
2:18:48
But if you want to follow along, if you're listening to the live
2:18:51
show, you can do that in your app. And you'll you can I'm
2:18:54
sorry, you can while you're listening live, you can go to no
2:18:56
agenda, art generator.com. And just refresh and you'll see this
2:19:00
stuff show up. It's pretty funny how a topic goes by, you can see
2:19:03
within five minutes, boom, there's a piece of art that goes
2:19:06
along with it. Or after the fact Dred Scott puts a lot of these
2:19:10
pieces into the chapter art which will just switch even
2:19:13
while you're driving and you're listening to the show you'll see
2:19:15
the port but just switches right on your dashboard. It's pretty
2:19:17
cool. Then we have the talent, I mean, the treasure portion.
2:19:24
John C Dvorak: And it was it was came up slow and low today. I
2:19:29
think total donators in the mentioned category just over 40
2:19:34
Which is Adam Curry: kind of pathetic all the way through 50 Yeah, yeah
2:19:38
that it's low. But you know you don't know what's happening I
2:19:41
mean, you know, I you don't know maybe maybe the maybe we're in a
2:19:47
recession depression maybe pay people have no money maybe maybe
2:19:50
there's no evidence. Maybe they just don't like what we're doing
2:19:52
we need to do more Kardashian this stuff. So I'd you need why
2:19:56
anyway, you need to bring you need to bring it You need to
2:20:01
bring some Kardashian news next time. Hello, okay. Okay, I will.
2:20:09

2:20:19
of what's a lot of value for you. $5 may be incredible
2:20:23
amount. We're just as happy with that, that William Rob is in San
2:20:26
Antonio, Texas, and I think he got a little bit of the wrong
2:20:30
idea about our donation segment. Now he is very happy because he
2:20:36
becomes a knight today. But then he says this note is and he sent
2:20:43
three, four 5.67. He says this note is very important outreach
2:20:48
to the Texas producers in the Round Rock and surrounding
2:20:51
areas. A pretty dang big hailstorm came through last
2:20:55
night, last Sunday evening and totally blasted just about every

roof in town. He says I can help you. And he says I'm a service
2:21:04
professional with m&m roofing siding and windows. Give us a
2:21:08

2:21:13
whole pitch. Like ad copy.

2:21:19

2:22:07

2:23:46
week. Ya know, and I have to say there's a dyskinetic issue here.
2:23:51
Okay, one of the things we have going is that the two of us seem
2:23:55
to have some sort of some overriding good taste when it
2:24:00
comes to what should be presented. As opposed to shit
2:24:05

2:45:33
won't be triggered on YouTube. Say is like
2:45:46
Adam Curry: well, you're gonna win. Because I have no ISOs I
2:45:52
feel very bad but I was traveling and didn't get the
2:45:54
ISOs John C Dvorak: Well, I have a one night so I think it's a fail
2:45:59
because I think there wasn't clipped bright or something. Oh,
2:46:03
and that's the stinks. ISO let me
2:46:05
Adam Curry: see doesn't stink. It's not that bad. A little
2:46:09
short doesn't stink. Okay. John C Dvorak: And so then the other one, which I think it
2:46:14
will, it's a good evergreen ISO, it should work. Thank you so
2:46:17
much. Adam Curry: Yeah, well, since we have nothing else, I'll just
2:46:21
have to do well, thank John C Dvorak: you so much. Tock tock tick tock.
2:46:28
Adam Curry: John's tick tock clips. He has some dynamite
2:46:30
minds. We're very excited about your tic tock loops.
2:46:34
John C Dvorak: First of all, let's play this one. This is the
2:46:36
classic tic tock genius discussing musk. There's a
2:46:42
person who I believe is dead serious. If there's 10
2:46:46
Unknown: billion people on earth and Elon Musk has $200 billion.
2:46:49
Can't he just give each person 1 billion? Here's the twist. You
2:46:53
will still have $190 billion leftover. Isn't that concerning?
2:46:58
Adam Curry: Wow. Wow. Yeah, that's that. Yes. I think you're
2:47:02
right. That person is dead serious and dead stupid.
2:47:09
John C Dvorak: Kids stupid. Good show name. Kids stupid heads.
2:47:14
Okay, so now I've got a tick tock, this guy who does? Who
2:47:17
puts his his image of black guy who puts his image on the screen
2:47:21
and rolls his eyes while some tick tock nutcase is going on
2:47:25
and about some he's really good. I got to start following him
2:47:29
more. But he comes up with a little bit at the answer is kind
2:47:34
of a two part of this. All in one clip, where he pretty much
2:47:38
elucidates, I think, the real problem with pronouns at the end
2:47:43
the way he does it is, is I, I like it a lot. But let's listen
2:47:48
to the pronoun woman who is really disturbed looking
2:47:53
individual. Unknown: And you know, I'm tired, seven in the morning at
2:47:57
the physical therapy office misgendered by someone who I've
2:48:02
told my pronouns to, and I said, just to let you know, my
2:48:05
pronouns, are they them? And they went, Oh, yeah, that's
2:48:07
right. Yeah, that's right. And then I had to explain to many
2:48:15
times to my physical therapist, that I didn't want to do an
2:48:19
exercise where I had to crunch my face into my boobs, because
2:48:25
that gave me gives me gender dysphoria. And I ended up
2:48:29
getting upset and started to softly crying, and then quietly
2:48:35
begged to leave and have the physical therapist just email me
2:48:40
the exercises, so I wouldn't have to actually be in the space
2:48:45
to do them, and I could see them at home. You know, I don't feel
2:48:49
comfortable in most places in society. But when it comes to
2:48:56
being at the doctor's office, it's important to feel cared for
2:49:02
respected. Have your humanity honored? And I'm just I'm tired.
2:49:08
I'm real tired. And I've had a rough morning,
2:49:13
somebody raised this, somebody did, you should be ashamed of
2:49:16
yourself. You're raising a feckless individual that cannot
2:49:19
function in society as a functional human human being.
2:49:22
It's your fault, Mama, daddy, whoever raised this person, it's
2:49:24
your fault. Just this has made it it's your fault. There's no
2:49:26
way in the world are you an adult and you getting butthurt
2:49:29
and you crying softly in the doctor's office because somebody
2:49:31
forget to call you something that's not even grammatically
2:49:33
correct. Like the pronoun is not grammatically correct. It's not
2:49:36
English language. You cannot be a singular person but yet you're
2:49:39
calling yourself a plurality of persons. You cannot be a fool
2:49:43
you just one person you cannot be them. You just one person and
2:49:47
how are you mad at other people who refuse to defy the English
2:49:50
language? How about you have the respect for the humanity of
2:49:53
others and accept the fact that some people may not want to call
2:49:56
you something that is not even reasonable and it's not even
2:49:58
appropriate when it comes? To the language that we all agreed
2:50:01
to speak. Adam Curry: I think it works better when you can see the guy.
2:50:06
John C Dvorak: I thought it was better if you can see her.
2:50:09
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, yeah, that's for sure. Yeah, it was
2:50:11
interesting. At the at the conference, there was a vocal
2:50:14
coach. And this guy is really a vocal coach for singers with
2:50:19
some of the biggest names in country and, and gospel
2:50:22
Nashville guy. Sure. And he was trying to explain why it wasn't
2:50:29
trying was succeeding very well, that what you need to do if you
2:50:32
really want your voice or what you're saying, to come across,
2:50:38
in a way that people not just hear it, but are drawn into it.
2:50:42
And he does this with you know, he's the kind of guy that you
2:50:45
know, someone's gonna go on stage, they got 10,000 people in
2:50:48
the audience, they call them two hours before it's like, I can't
2:50:51
I can't hang out. I don't want my voice is not the way I want
2:50:54
it to be. I need you to help me. And he said, and he gave
2:50:58
examples of this actually with Simon and Garfunkel and some
2:51:03
other songs as the same song but sung in different ways. He says
2:51:07
if you prolong your consonant,
2:51:11
John C Dvorak: your what your Will the consonant consonant.
2:51:13
Adam Curry: He says, as he gave examples, it was amazing how
2:51:17
when you prolong your constants, as I just did, how people get
2:51:24
drawn in and listen to you and you're much more enjoyable to
2:51:27
listen to in your in your information will come across
2:51:30
better. It is the exact opposite of what these morons are doing.
2:51:35
Because they're extending their vowels and dropping their
2:51:37
consonants like T's. Hmm, I just thought that was fair. Right?
2:51:43
Fascinating. All right. Got it vocal right there. Whereas it's
2:51:50
the T's and the SS and the DS. And the Gs, Gs, Gs. Anyway, free
2:51:59
lesson, everybody. I've got one more clip that I think is in
2:52:02
watch. They have two very important news.
2:52:05
Unknown: We have some sad views coming from American zoos. It
2:52:08
seems that Chinese pandas will leave America, we're talking
2:52:12
about some of the most popular attractions in Washington DC
2:52:17
zoos, not to mention Atlanta, Memphis, San Diego as well. I
2:52:21
haven't personally seen them. I would have loved to see them.
2:52:25
But it seems given a look at that. Who doesn't want to see
2:52:29
pandas? It just makes us happy. But it seems given the ongoing
2:52:33
tensions between Washington and Beijing they will no longer be
2:52:36
available after more than 50 years of spending time here in
2:52:40
the US. Adam Curry: Ah, can they recall the pandas? Are they allowed
2:52:44
John C Dvorak: to they were always licensed anyway, they never owned them. Oh, I didn't know they were all all pandas in
2:52:50
the world are licensed by the Chinese. But you have to there's
2:52:53
a EULA. Adam Curry: I didn't know that I didn't know the license. So they
2:53:00
can retract the license at John C Dvorak: any time they can retrieve the Panadol. And if
2:53:04
they if they have babies, the babies belong as part of this
2:53:08
like a typical classic EULA. Babies belong to China to wow.
2:53:13
So I was always thinking that one of the one of these is to be
2:53:16
creative and kind of slip a baby panda, you know, fly everybody,
2:53:20
but they've never managed to do it. Adam Curry: And this, this one that this, I don't know if you
2:53:25
have anything else. But this last clip this was there was a
2:53:28
hearing, which didn't get a lot of traction. And it was about
2:53:32
the Lahaina fire. And you recall that our our insider in the
2:53:39
electric electricity industry had found out that the even
2:53:46
though the power had been shut off from the power company, that
2:53:51
the hotels were still pumping their energy back into the grid
2:53:56
through their generators. Do you remember that? Yeah,
2:53:59
John C Dvorak: I remember it. Well. Now Adam Curry: here is the president of Hawaiian Electric.
2:54:04
She really Kimora and here's what she testified to
2:54:07
Unknown: on that day of fire at 6:30am. What I will refer to as
2:54:12
the morning fire appears to have been caused by Hawaiian Electric
2:54:15
power lines that fell in high winds. The Maui County Fire
2:54:20
Department promptly responded to this fire. They reported that by
2:54:26
9am it was contained. After monitoring it for several hours,
2:54:31
the fire department determined the fire had been extinguished.
2:54:35
They left the scene in the early afternoon at about 3pm A time
2:54:41
when all of Hawaiian Electric's power lines in West Maui had
2:54:46
been de energized for more than six hours a second fire, the
2:54:51
afternoon fire began in the same area. The cause of that
2:54:56
afternoon fire that spread to Lahaina has has not been
2:55:00
determined. We are working tirelessly to figure out what
2:55:05
happened and we are cooperating fully with federal and state
2:55:08
investigators who have indicated it may take 12 to 18 months to
2:55:12
conclude, Adam Curry: Oh, how about when we know exactly what happened?
2:55:17
The wires were down there were energized because the hotels had
2:55:20
their generators still hooked up. We're pumping energy back
2:55:24
into the back end system. So they now they got it now that
2:55:28
this I think there's some negotiating who's going to take
2:55:31
the fall for it. John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's where the 18 months what a visit
2:55:36
take 18 months or is that kind of investigation?
2:55:39
Adam Curry: It's who he is who he I tell you, it's who he is
2:55:42
who he is who he who he very sad that that can't just come clean
2:55:46
with people, you know? That story dropped out, didn't it?
2:55:54
John C Dvorak: Never. You know, there's Adam Curry: pizza. Well, no, I mean, forget about just the fire
2:55:58
in general. Oh, yeah. No, forget it. People are homeless out
2:56:01
there. It's nuts. Coming up next on no agenda. stream.com we have
