Adam CurryAdam Curry

on the land, man,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I'm on Mexico. Way.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yeah, indeed. Excuse me, yes. Tina, this was what I thought was my only present was this

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yeah, sure. No, I don't care. Okay, I still feel 15. That's, that's Dvorak laugh for Yeah, you just wait. You just wait anyway. So we got it all set up. It's all working. We got good bandwidth. This is the

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

new rig. Sounds Okay. Sounds good. That

Adam CurryAdam Curry

sounds good. It sounds like it always sounds

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

the stream didn't sound good, though. Oh, really, no. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

haven't gotten any complaints about that. Stream didn't sound well.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I mean, from my perspective, getting it through the system here, it was breaking up a lot. Oh,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

but you hear me? Okay, hello, yeah,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I'm actually shocked the difference. Okay,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

hey, this was really something interesting that happened last night, and I didn't even really pay much attention to it until Tina alerted me to a whole side thread about this particular occurrence, and I will start it with a short background or clip. The Justice Department

Unknown

says it has moved aggressively to shut down what it says are Russian efforts to influence the 2024 US presidential election. The DOJ says it sees 32 Kremlin run websites that were used to spread Disinformation and Propaganda. Officials say Russian argued operatives used AI to target us voters and generate kind generate content, sharing false narratives to Russian nationals who are media

executives at a Russian state news site. Have also been charged with violating the foreign Agents Registration Act. They're accused of spending almost 10 million on the scheme, using an American based company to create and post hundreds of English language videos. The FBI field office will continue in Philadelphia, will continue to investigate the case.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Now, were you following this at all? Yeah,

Unknown

of course. Eclipse,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

okay, what do you have?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, right. RT, busted one,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

okay. RT, busted one.

Unknown

Russia is allegedly meddling in this year's presidential election. Federal us departments are now pressing charges against Russian individuals while trying to seize dozens of internet domains and TVs. INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT Aryan pastor has the story, the government of Russia continued to use RT to direct Disinformation and Propaganda multiple us departments on Wednesday alleging that Russia

is meddling in this year's presidential elections. The Department of Justice indicted two editors in chief for the Russian state owned media outlet, RT, RT and its employees, including the defendants, implemented a nearly ten million scheme to fund and direct a Tennessee based company to publish and disseminate content deemed favorable to the Russian government.

The Department alleges that the two individuals violated the foreign Agents Registration Act in return for the money, the Tennessee company allegedly created English content, which it then posted on Instagram, YouTube, X and other platforms. The Treasury Department also sanctioned the two editors plus

nine others over the alleged meddling in the elections. RT responded with ridicule, saying three things are certain in life, death, taxes and RTS interference in the US elections, and separately from the actions against RT the FBI and the Justice Department are also seeking court permission to seize 32 websites, so called Cyber squadron domains. These websites were designed to appear to American readers as if they were major US news sites like the Washington Post or Fox News,

but in fact, they were fake sites. All right,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

couple things before we before we move on. First of all, the foreign agent Registration Act is this. Does this really qualify if someone is paying someone to. Have set up, you know, whether it's a fake news site or just a news site. I mean, this is not they're not lobbying Congress. Does Farrah really qualify for this?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

This is a good question. I can't answer they. They like to throw that. I mean, how come Hunter Biden hasn't been charged with that? Well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

so if so, if I look@justice.gov and there's, here's the Farah foreign Agents Registration Act was enacted in 1938 requires certain agents of foreign principles who are engaged in political activities or other activities specified under the statute to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principle, which I think RT is kind of disclosed that, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities. I mean, it

doesn't, first of all, we're the kings of this. You know, hello, Voice of America. Hello, voice

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I got some clips coming up. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

mean, this, this is same thing. This is obviously complete crud. But the thing that got really interesting is the Tennessee company that's mentioned in these clips.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Well, let's play the second part of this and then even talk about that. Okay,

Unknown

the DOJ published examples of such sites. For example, this one, which appears to be a Washington Post article stating, Middle East coalition of US allies, crumbles like a house of cards. Or another fake article reading, no more money. Kremlin will solve Ukraine's problem. The FBI is now working to take these sites down. The two indicted editors for RT remain at large.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I know you have a Kirby clip. I have a real short one here, Rear Admiral Kirby, with a little bit of details,

Unknown

as you saw today, the Department of Justice, Department of Treasury and State Department a series of coordinated actions against foreign actors associated with the Russian government who are attempting to covertly influence

our elections. Specifically, all these federal agencies revealed activities directed and funded by RT, formerly known as Russia today, to covertly spread Russian government propaganda with the aim of reducing international support for Ukraine, bolstering pro Russian policies and interests and influencing voters here in the US and in foreign elections as

well. For their part, the Treasury Department is sanctioning six executives and officials affiliated with RT, three executives associated with other Kremlin controlled organizations. And additionally, the Treasury Department is designating a n o dialog, a Russian government funded, I'm sorry, a Russian government founded nonprofit that uses artificial intelligence to create and distribute online Russian disinformation for use against election campaigns.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Okay, so we have a lot of by the way, yeah,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

why is he so breathless, he sounds like he's hyperventilating. Well, the whole little thing, well,

Unknown

I would say, what

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

is going on with him? Well, I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

would say the the main reason that he is out here, and I have, you have

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

clips, I have other clips. I don't know if the clip's any different than that one. Well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

this is military industrial complex. This is Hey, hey, hey, hey, we've got people speaking against Ukraine, and he's, you know, he's the rear admiral. So they bring in the military, the ex military guide, to say, oh, no, we can't have this. We can't have sites out there and AI generated content that goes against the narrative of Russia. Bad Ukraine, good. But what? And this is funny, because Tina, she unrelated, said, have you seen what's going on with Tim pool? Now this is

the part of the story where it gets interesting. The Nashville or the Tennessee based company that received $9.7 million to create 2000 different YouTube videos is tenant media, yeah, tenant media, I'll just read from their website, fearless voices live here and the talent. Meet the talent. Lauren Southern, Tim pool, Taylor Hanson, Matt Christianson, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson, so it turns out that any show and the Benny show, well, there's a couple of things to focus on.

Turns out that, you know, Tim pool has his his regular pool boy show, right with everyone at the desk and yelling back and forth. But there was another one, beanie, Beanie boy show, another one, which is the the culture war show. Now check this out. It turns out that he was receiving to produce one episode

a week. They're about two hours, $100,000 an episode for a two hour basic, you know, just podcast and I. I've always wondered, like, he's always flying guests in and, you know, he's got that, you know, swanky studio in West Virginia has a lot going on, and he's got just, it seems to be good budget. And now, like, okay, so he was making about $5 million a year for producing one episode a week, and this was a show that

they had licensed, so he wasn't necessarily doing it. It wasn't like he was talking to the Kremlin, but he was making the show. It was licensed to tenant media. And so this has put Tim pool, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin, in a very precarious situation, I'd say, I'll read his statement, my statement, Tim pool statement, my statement regarding allegations in the DOJ indictment. Should these allegations prove true, I, as well as the other personalities and commentators, were deceived,

and we are victims. I cannot speak for anyone else at the company as to what they do or what they are instructed. The culture war podcast was licensed by tenant now, by the way, this was not mentioned anywhere in the indictment. I read I read the indictment. Yeah, I read it too. I didn't hear any of this. So he's telling us that it was about the culture war podcast was licensed by tenant media. It existed well before any license agreement with Tenet, and it will continue to exist after

such agreement expires. The only expires. The only change where the agreement was the location of the live broadcast move to tenants YouTube channel. I and TCW never produce any content for tenant media. Now I'm thinking that tenant media probably also you get these emails suggested guests. Hey, you should have this guy on as a guest, you know what? I mean? You get those emails for no agendas. Of those, yeah, and no agenda. This would be a great guest for no agenda. You have

never listened, you dope. Because we don't have guests. Never at any point did anyone other than I have full editorial control the show, and the contents of the show are often apolitical. Examples include discussing spirituality, dating and video games. The show is produced and it's entirely by our local team, blah blah That being said, we still do not know what is true, as these are only allegations. Putin is a scumbag. Russia sucks donkey balls. And to the

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

that doesn't work,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

she protested too much. Me thinketh, and to the journalists who wish to jump the gun create their own narrative or lie about what is currently going on. You can eat my Irish ass. Okay? So then Benny Johnson, that's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

actually in this statement, yes, which is not good, no.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

And then Benny Johnson a statement on the leak DOJ indictment today, a year ago, a media startup pitched my company to provide content as an independent contractor. Our lawyers negotiated a standard, arm's length deal, which was later terminated. We are disturbed by the allegations in today's indictment, which makes clear that myself and other influences were victims in this alleged scheme. So there's the victim meme. My lawyers will handle anyone who states or

suggests otherwise. Oh boy, and then Dave Rubin, who doesn't know him? Statement

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

on Ruben was working for Glenn Beck.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I'm just I don't know statement on the DOJ indictment, these allegations clearly show that I and other commentators were the victims of this scheme. So seems like they had some, uh, victims.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Seems to be the common advice. You nailed that

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I knew absolutely nothing about any of this fraudulent activity, period. People of the internet was a silly show. So nowhere did I see this mentioned. But he knows what it's about. They know what that what is going on here. People of the internet was a silly show covering viral videos, which ended four months ago. The DOJ has never contacted me regarding this matter, and I have no intent, intention to come to comment further. This screenshot directly from the

indictment, speaks for itself. So there was a lot of money flowing around, and you know, so of course, what is happening is people are saying, Hey, you're getting $100,000 for a two hour episode podcast. Didn't you think something might have been up with that. And then people are pulling clips from old Tim pool shows, and this is a 45 second one, and they're saying, Oh yeah, you traitor. You took Russian money. But I don't know

Unknown

that it matters anymore. This is psychotic. Ukraine is the enemy of this country. Ukraine is our enemy being funded by the Democrats. I will stress again, one of the greatest enemies of our nation right now is Ukraine. They are expanding this war now. Don't get me wrong. I know you've got criminal elements of the US government, pushing them and guiding them and telling them what to do. Ukraine is now accused a German warrant issued for blowing up the Nord Stream

pipeline in triggering this conflict. Ukraine is the greatest threat to this nation and to the world. We should rescind all funding and financing, pull out all military support, and we should apologize to Russia.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So. Little different than his. You know, can suck donkey balls. Quote, so. So I think what's going on here is the just Department of Justice, which obviously all Democrats, Biden Obama operatives, they're, they're doing some kind of mega sweep here where, first of all, we bring back in Russia's trying to get Trump elected. And then they bring in anyone who's ever been positive about Trump or or positive about Russia and and implicating them where they're actually, you know, they were

licensing content. It seems, I don't think that they were necessarily knowledgeable about what happened, but this discredits a lot of alternative media. Makes people very suspicious. Yeah, it's kind of good, I mean, as in, it's a, it's a good op that they've pulled here. Well,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I think that the OP, of course, is done, is being done by the Justice Department, yes, in conjunction with the military industrial complex, yes, as a preemptive strike against Trump, yes. So when Trump gets in, if he does which we they're not absolutely sure they can pull off getting calmly, and if they even want to, right, they have this all set up. So everything now that if you, if you pull the plug on

Ukraine. You're part of this op, of the supposed op? Yes, so Trump had so Trump has to tread lightly when he gets he can't just pull a you know, who is it? Kennedy or, or I get? No, I guess it's Tulsa. You know, they want to just pull the plug on Ukraine, just right. Drop of a hat. But what Trump has to do, because he now he's screwed. This is a pre screw job, again, aimed at Trump, and what he has to do is end the war immediately. Ah, by going over there, right? Because that's the

only thing you can do. Can't stop funding, yeah.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So, yeah, it's, it's a mill. That's the first thing I thought, is, like he got Kirby out and he did a interview with PBS. You want to hear some of that? Sure, yeah, because when PBS gets involved, oh, now it's, this is ten million what is ten million in the in the realm of disinformation? Is that, like, some huge amount that I'm unaware of? And okay, it funded pool boy and Benny boy and Dave boy, who were probably oblivious to it and were just thinking, I'm that good.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

That's exactly right. And

Adam CurryAdam Curry

by the way, we would be like, yeah, we're that good. We deserve this kind of money to license our content. You know, Spotify license Joe Rogan's content for millions. I can see where you get I don't want to implicate any of these people, but they, they certainly got wrapped up in something. So here's PBS on this story. Now

Unknown

to the day's other top story, foreign efforts to interfere with the US presidential election in a press conference this afternoon us, Attorney General Merrick Garland outlined what he called sophisticated disinformation campaigns undertaken by Russia and other adversaries, sophisticated

Adam CurryAdam Curry

2000 YouTube videos that sophisticated

Unknown

promoting lies via fake news outlets And real social media influencers. And garland issued this warning. The Justice Department's message is clear, we have no tolerance for attempts by authoritarian regimes to exploit our demographic our democratic system of

Adam CurryAdam Curry

government, because that's our job. That's what we do.

Unknown

We will be relentlessly aggressive, encountering and disrupting attempts by Russia and Iran as China or any other foreign malign actor to interfere in our elections and undermine our democracy. Oh,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

our democracy is being undermined by propaganda. Look at the M 5m bro. Anyway,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

the thing about this is another aspect which makes me think this was a preemptive strike, and it all has to do with Ukraine. It's got nothing to do with the elections Ukraine. I complain, that's right. And to balance that, that argument, they brought in Iran as the foil to say, well, Iran was interfering with Trump, because they were going after Trump in different ways. We're going to assassinate him. They're going to do this and that. So they so they keep the

balance. So it was like it wasn't they were trying to get Trump in or trying to get Kamala in. It was they're trying to mess with the election, kind of in general. But in fact, it's got nothing to do with the elections. It has only to do with Ukraine. Yes, it's very well done. I think so now

Adam CurryAdam Curry

they bring and of course, because if you listen to, I mean, listen to our show, we know what went down in Ukraine. We know how it happened. Everyone knows the backstory. We've been following that since 2014 and. We know you cookies, my Don, we saw it all happening. The expansion of NATO

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Brennan was there. Cookies was there. The enemy CIA is there. And I think the giveaway

Adam CurryAdam Curry

is bringing in retired Rear Admiral John Kirby, because he is the military industrial complex spokes hole, and he will explain how this interferencelessly,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I might add, with his hyperventilating, because he knows that. He knows, he knows if he's really good at he's not as good an actor as he should be.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

No but he's all they got. So they'll, they'll just say he does the job, but gets the job done. So and also, PBS immediately doing this big story. You know that's that's not typical for some phony websites and some domain names they didn't like, which they don't mention, never really

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

did much about the Macedonian kids who did a lot more damage.

Unknown

All right, here's Kirby Joining us now from the White House. Is National Security Council spokesman, retired Rear Admiral John Kirby. Admiral Kirby, welcome back. Thanks for joining us. Thank you so much for having so these efforts. I think it's safe to say her a long way Oh, she

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Oh, she's she's already laugh telling Oh, safe to say, oh no, oh my goodness.

Unknown

So these efforts, I think it's safe to say her a long way from Russian intelligence packing and dumping emails like they did with the DNC back in 2016

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yeah, right, you are, because it's not about the election lady. Just before

Unknown

we dig into some of the specifics today, big picture and briefly, what does all of this say to you about how Russian election interference has evolved over the years? They've gotten more sophisticated. They've gotten more organized. And quite frankly, if they

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

were more sophisticated, they wouldn't have gotten caught.

Unknown

It's organized. They've

Adam CurryAdam Curry

got pool boy, yeah, it's sophisticated and organized. More

Unknown

sophisticated, they've gotten more organized. And quite frankly, they've gotten more more funding. Wait,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

stop a second. I got to put this in there. It's gonna be interrupted a lot. That's all right. That's all right. It's

Unknown

good. It's good stuff.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

When you say, quite frankly, are you lying the rest of the time? Well, of course, to tell you the truth. Adam,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yes,

Unknown

what?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I'm not lying honestly. There's another honestly. I'd like to say, yeah,

Unknown

all of these more organized and, quite frankly, they've gotten more, more funding support right at the top of the Kremlin, we believe Mr. Putin, what's 10 million?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

What's he comparing that funding to the $100,000 they spent on Facebook ads back in 2020 2016 was, it good? Was a scandal? Or

Adam CurryAdam Curry

the 400 million Zuckerberg pumped into everything? Yeah, exactly.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Compare that to 400 million Zuckerberg pumped into Wisconsin alone getting of

Unknown

this scheme, or these schemes, I should say there's more than one, but they've gotten a lot more clever. And unfortunately for them, we've gotten pretty clever too. We got pretty strong. Well, we were able to detect and monitor these threats, and as you said today, take action to hold them accountable. Oh

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yeah, we were able to detect these threats. It's a website.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Oh no, the phony story. It's a website. We were good able to detect this threat

Adam CurryAdam Curry

and notice how they say Washington Post and Fox News, let's get both sides of the spectrum. Again.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

That brings us back to the bringing in Iran, so we have the balance over. So it's not really about the elections. Is about Ukraine and the money we're spending. So

Unknown

one of these schemes, as you put it, let's kind of break it down here. The Department of Justice has charged two employees of a Russian state controlled media outlet RT saying that they poured ten million into, poured an effort to distribute, poured

Adam CurryAdam Curry

all its 10 million at all. Man, they poured it in to influencers. They didn't call them podcasters. They're calling them influencers. They

Unknown

poured in dollars into an effort to distribute content with hidden Russian government messaging.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

What hidden messaging?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

How hidden is it? Ukraine's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

no good. That's hidden messaging. Oh, it's subliminal. It's the subliminal frames. Kind

Unknown

of messaging, old, yeah, are we talking about and where might people have seen that? Well, a great example of the messaging, for instance, was blaming Ukraine and the United States for the terrorist attack that happened in Moscow several months ago. This one that's interesting. Yeah,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

this I just, I almost had this clip that he they've been harping on this particular this. And one other example is Kirby's main thing, which was this switcheroo about this attack in Russia that's

Unknown

we all know was conducted by ISIS. Even ISIS acknowledged that they conducted that attack on that concert hall we all know.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

We all know ISIS tweeted it, man, they put a statement on x

Unknown

so that. Is one example. Another example was continuing to put out information to undermine Ukraine's fight for its own democracy and for its sovereignty. So it's messaging and just another

Adam CurryAdam Curry

laugh tell, by the way,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

yeah, good point. Ukraine's

Unknown

fight for its own democracy. Very laughing because

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

he's joking, because he knows no democracy. This guy's cancel elections, shut down, the press out of control. What this guy's doing for its own

Unknown

democracy and for his sovereignty. So it's messaging and disinformation. It's propaganda that that tries to undermine public support for what Ukraine is trying to do to defend itself and a range of other things Russia wants to do to sort of portray the United States as some sort of evil actor in the world. So there's a series of initiatives that they're undertaking, again, to undermine faith and confidence in democracy. Writ large, certainly undermine faith and confidence in America's democracy.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

America's demand. We're going to be talking a lot about America's democracy today. So now we go to the other schemes. Let's go to those, those, those sneaky websites. One of

Unknown

the other schemes laid out was related to the Department of Justice seizing 32 internet domains that they say were used to spread Russian propaganda with the aim of influencing voters in the US and foreign elections, including the US 2024, presidential election, I just want to show for viewers here, the websites were designed to look like us, information and news sites like these that you're seeing right now that look exactly like Washington Post articles, but they are not.

Can these kinds of sites be taken down faster than they can keep going up? Is it safe to assume this information still out there? Well, we're certainly going to keep having conversations with tech companies about about making sure they're aware of these threats. And

Adam CurryAdam Curry

what tech companies what? What are they going to talking to godaddy for domain names? Or does it when he said we'll be talking to is this another one of those? Don't worry about Section 230 we won't take it away from you conversations. I don't like this.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

We'll be talking to tech companies.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Let's listen. What else you

Unknown

have to say here, because with tech companies about about making sure they're aware of these threats and these these actors out there, we have actors, you know, rely on them to take the decisions that that they deem are appropriate to their own policies and procedures. But we're certainly going to keep having that conversation with tech companies. But I think what you're seeing here, and I'm glad you mentioned that the social design agency and what they've been doing, as well as

Adam CurryAdam Curry

that social design agency that's tenant media. They're talking about with the fearless voices who live here. You

Unknown

know, on one hand, you've got them using RT, a former propaganda outlet now just a full on covert influence organization. RT,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

covert. How is RT covert?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

It's not covert. It's always over.

Unknown

It's over just a full on covert influence organization to work through funding companies, even a company here in the United States, to get them to push information out in the vein of a legitimate media outlet, and they also working at

a tactical level with social media influencers. Many of them, as the attorney general laid out, are simply made up their fictional persona, but they're going at it from a media outlet perspective, and they're going at it from an individual social media user perspective, wow.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I mean, first of all, I don't see what the Justice Department the I mean, you can pull if you can police anything you want, if this is okay, like, Oh no, the onion. Oh the onion. Making jokes. No, we gotta seize their domain name. Good

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

point. Seize their domain Well, let's go. Babylon B, the onions,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

right? Babylon B, well, exactly right. You know what I'm talking about. All right. Let's go with the Oh yes. What is the preferred outcome? Yes. But

Unknown

when it comes to influencing, especially the 2024, presidential election, Attorney General garland said that they're they're seeking a preferred outcome. Here

Adam CurryAdam Curry

it includes not Trump. That's the preferred outcome.

Unknown

What is that preferred outcome? What do you see this Russian propaganda working towards

Adam CurryAdam Curry

boy leading the witness? They

Unknown

are working towards undermining us, policies the kinds of us that this administration has been laboring so hard to pursue around the world, shoring up alliances and partnerships in the Indo Pacific, supporting Ukraine, obviously, is that to say that they're working to undermine the Democratic candidate, in this case, Kamala Harris. I don't have specific evidence that I can speak to about undermining a particular candidate, but we have seen in the past where Mr. Putin certainly has shown up.

Proclivity for one particular candidate. But again, I don't want to get where we are right now. Where we are right now is we know that they are using these tools, these vehicles, this funding, discord and try to try to increase here in the United States,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

he is falling apart. Witness this next shorter clip.

Unknown

Wouldn't it help people though to spot some of this disinformation if they knew if it tends to lean one way or the other? Well, look, that's what we did today.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

What ask Alexa.

That's what we did today.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Ask Alexa. Alexa, is this misinformation? Look, that's

Unknown

one of the things that we did today, why the Attorney General went public. That's why we here at the White House laid it out. The State Department, the Treasury. I mean, part of the aim of educating the American people is to disclose what we're seeing out there and the kinds of content that they're putting out there. And as I said in my opening statement today in the briefing room, we can't just be the

government doing this. We need the help of American citizens to bear a hand here and to carefully and scrupulously take a look at what you're digesting, the news, information that you're getting online or elsewhere, to try to make sure that you're getting the absolute best, credible, most accurate information you can

Adam CurryAdam Curry

get, it from the good sources, not those crazy alt media guys, no poll boy, Tucker, none of them are good. Let's wrap it up. It

Unknown

is also worth pointing out, people start voting in this election very soon, within days, and the last day of voting, election day is just over 60 days away. A lot of this content has already been out there for a while, has had millions of views. Are these steps and actions coming too late to have an impact? Too late? Well, we

certainly hope not. I mean, I would just tell you that the timing today was driven by the scope of the investigation that the Attorney General talked about, and he made it clear, it's an ongoing investigation. So there may be additional actions here coming, I don't know, but it was driven really by the status of the investigation. That was what was really on our minds. And as soon as we could package all that information up and get it out into the public domain, we wanted to do that.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yeah, this is completely about Ukraine, and it is no coincidence of the timing. It's nothing about all the timing was just we were ready. We had all the evidence. No the timing is the forthcoming visit by Zelensky with his victory plan.

Unknown

President Zelensky sat down with NBC News in his first interview since that surprise move,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

by the way, Richard Engel here doing the reporting. Now you've

Unknown

captured this territory in Russia. So the big question is, what do you plan to do with it? We don't need the Russian territory. Our operation is aimed to restore our territorial integrity. We don't need their land. Is the plan to take more territory? I will not tell you, sorry I can't speak about it. It's like the beginning of our discourse operation. I didn't communicate anything clearly. With all respect, I can't speak about it.

I think that the success is very close to surprise. But conceptually, you have this territory. Now you say you don't want to keep it long conceptually, we will hold it conceptually. We will hold it well, there's been

Adam CurryAdam Curry

what is this conceptually? We'll hold this land. What was in your mind talking about, they're

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

both going on and on about conceptually? Yeah, what

Adam CurryAdam Curry

does that mean? It doesn't mean it. It's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

bull. See, conceptually, we're going to do a podcast today.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yeah, all right, but I'm staying in bed for this conceptual podcast. Yeah, exactly. Conceptually. We

Unknown

will hold it. Conceptually. We will hold it. Well, there's been another government shake up here in Ukraine. This time, the foreign minister tendering his resignation, and Craig, it's all related. I spoke to President zelenskyy said what he's preparing right now is to present what he describes as his victory plan to President Biden, to Vice President Harris, and to Donald Trump in the United

States later this month. And he wants to arrive with some military success after the ongoing military campaign inside Russia and with a new, revitalized government. So he wants to go in with a full head of steam as he goes to to Washington, it goes to the United States later this

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

month. Yeah, it's a new hand picked government. Yeah.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, I don't know if, if rats are jumping the ship or exact I mean, it seems like a whole bunch of people said, Okay, I'm out. I don't want any part of this. But the victory plan is coming.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

The victory plan so these guys are scammers, yeah, well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

concluding of the highest order. I feel bad for these, for these podcasters. But on the other hand, Dude, did you not think this was odd?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

No, I think your original um analysis absolutely on the money, I'm

Adam CurryAdam Curry

that good,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I'm great,

Unknown

I'm that good,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I am fabulous, and I whatever they throw out, I expected this surprise. It took that long that damn Joe Rogan's making all the money. That's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

right, that's right. Well, yeah, anyway, oh man, I just, I just, it was like, Wow. This all fell into my lap. Like, this is, this is crazy.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

So did you miss the Alexa stuff? No,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I did. Yeah, I don't know about the Alexa stuff. Oh, I

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

would. I was gonna get a clip, but I figured you'd either have the clip or knew about it. Or no, you probably did look it up real quick, quick someone. This was about four days ago. I'm surprised you didn't catch

Adam CurryAdam Curry

it. Oh, yeah, but she's saying, Alexa, give me who's going to win the elections. Is that the tell

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

me why I should vote for Donald Trump. And Alexa says, We can't tell you anything like that. This is a this is politics. No, no, no, no, no. You can't ask a question like that. She says, Hey, tell me why I should vote for Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris is great. She's in all these terrific things. She's a perfect candidate. She should, you should vote for her?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yeah, you know, I'm, honestly, I did see the clip. I'm so jaded by that stuff. It's like, it's like, that's standard operating procedure these days, we know, but you Mimi sent,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

sent a copy to me, and she says, late, you know, it was just last night, and she says, Can you believe this? What you're behind on? Really, days ago? Really,

Unknown

yeah, she's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

all worked up about it, so I figure, well, maybe some, you know, somebody we should have, probably, I should have, probably clipped it, but that's my but I ever I'm doubting that. I think 90% of our audience has heard this over and over. Yeah, yeah, done it every if you watch anybody watch this fox, every single Fox show has played this

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, that would be the main reason I didn't clip it.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I don't know if that's the main reason clip it. You just didn't clip it. I didn't clip it either. No,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

but it's just like all this. It's out. The auto completes on Google Search come, but

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

this is, this is nothing new. It's all part of the same bull crap.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

It's nothing new. And you know that you're getting different results than I'm getting based upon your location or anything. Go, yeah, I use, well, what's that thing I use?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I think Duck Duck go, does you know, I go to Google once for one purpose and one purpose only, maps, yeah, I'll put an address and I'll do it through Google, because the best mapping stuff that you like around you can get directions is, is great you like for everything else, I use Duck Duck go. Duck Duck go does a better job of showing images, which I use for the newsletter occasionally, and it organizes them better it. I just think the results are better with that

product. They don't track you, but I don't believe.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

No, they try. I use cog, E, K, A, G, I

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

and I pay for it. Yeah, yeah, you do. And

Adam CurryAdam Curry

it's, I would say, for 98% of all my searches, cog E is good, some of the historical stuff, like really old stuff, they may not have. So let's just talk about American democracy for a moment. And I put together this series of clips because I here's an example of some of the emails I've received. Please don't let your disfavor or hatred of Elon get the best of you.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

This that's just Adam, by the way, I think Elon's Great.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

This judge is an absolute tyrant who tells people to censor people he just doesn't like and tells them it's illegal for them to say the order came from him. It really feels like you just don't like Elon so badly that you're ignoring a huge story and mock must for saying he's standing up for free speech, as if everything he does has to be disingenuous. So first of all

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

is that the same tone of voice that get probably sounds like a guy would say that, you

Adam CurryAdam Curry

know, those guys? Yeah, so. But I get a lot of these, and I just, and here's my my turn. No, why

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

they you know, I don't have the issue with Musk at all. But at the same time, I don't see why everyone's defending into such an extreme as if the guy can't defend himself. Or is it? Well, it just doesn't make sense to me that people were all well, also crazy about this.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Also, there's two of us. There's Adam and John. And aren't you happy that someone is looking over his shoulder? Just in case, that's what I've been trained to do throughout almost 17 years, when everyone's all goo goo, Gaga. I'm not gonna. Same thing.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, I'm with you. I'm looking at your religious, religious, religiosity.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I have no religiosity. Okay, I all right, what? I don't know. I don't know what that statement was about. Well,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I'm just saying it's not as though that you're looking, you know, making sure I don't foul up. And I'm always looking at your

Adam CurryAdam Curry

foibles, of course. But this is not about you. This is about Elon. So I just want to the here's the reason is why i i saw that he brought in electric vehicles and kicked off an entire climate change based

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

narrative three. Now this part of that about the complaint I'm all in on and because it did cause a

Adam CurryAdam Curry

problem. And he's all in on climate tax, or carbon tax and carbon credits. In fact, he lives off of it. He is one. He is one of the biggest exploitative Is he a word? You're looking for one of the biggest military contractors for lots of spooky stuff, including the National Reconnaissance Office and Space Force and, you know, but we're all like, Oh, he's so great. He's Tony Stark's he's Oh, he's the best. Well,

that's a bit and I have, well, that's out there. I mean, just look at the pictures of him in that, you know, that red Halloween suit. And he's always like, Oh, he looks so dapper with his hair plugs, so and I don't, I mean, I've met the guy. I was there at the launch of Tesla, which he didn't invent. He bought it. You know, he supposedly spends 80% of his time doing engineering. Seems like he spends 80% of his time on X shit posting nowadays, yeah, for sure. So you know. And

you can see the woman who really runs SpaceX. She's a former, I think, NRO lady. I mean, you know, he's got people in all these different places doing the work. He's flying around. He's doing whatever he needs to do, which is fine, but

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

when the one thing he does, which is not easy to do, in my opinion, it's the hardest thing to do, is he hires the right people to do this job. That makes it look like he's doing it. Yeah, well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I'm, I'm a little more skeptical about who's running, who's hiring, but doesn't, doesn't really matter. Um, but when, when everyone's all jacked up about Yeah? Free speech, yeah, it's great. X is great. That's what I'm like. Yeah. It's always great when someone's on your team, but it's the same with de platforming. It's always great when someone else gets the platform, who you don't like, who you disagree with, but these tools can be turned around on a dime and be focused at you

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

one in fact, Twitter proves that

Adam CurryAdam Curry

so this, well, yes, in fact, I got another note from a guy I'll read

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

this, turned around on a dime, and now it's going out the other direction. This is

Adam CurryAdam Curry

from coconut Pete. I've been on Twitter since the beginning in 2007 I've experimented with different accounts for various projects, sometimes just playing around with random accounts. From my experience using Twitter under Jack and Elon, I think I can say with certainty that the free

speech in quotes under Elon is definitely worse. Under Jack, there are always lots of crazy tweets flying around, perhaps the worst case scenario, what might get shadow banned, but at least you could keep your account and vent to yourself thinking you are changing the world. Most people think that Elon is the Savior free speech, and he loves to brand himself this way, but they don't see the many other layers of censorship right in front of their face, such as unpaid peasant accounts

get little to no visibility. I agree, paid accounts get more visibility. Ex Premium accounts get more exposure. Remember the whole mantra was freedom of speech, not of reach. Then, if you're a well known celebrity or public figure that has the max account on X, you probably have more free speech and leeway than anyone else. He goes on to say, one of my accounts, I just got suspended, I believe, for applying to someone saying they were an idiot. If you do get suspended, if you do get

suspended, there's no explanation why. So you know there's and I believe this to be true. So anyway, we're back to democracy and free speech in America. And this brings me to x and Brazil, which I have some thoughts on. And we'll start with a backgrounder from Fox live, who bring us up to speed on where we are with x being banned in Brazil, the social media platform, by the way, these guys have some click in their audio, which is not me, but it's in there. The social

Unknown

media platform, formerly known as Twitter, remains offline in one of South America's largest countries. Brazil's Supreme Court unanimously upheld a ban of the site x by its top judge on Monday, the ruling blocks access station wide for some 40 million users in mandates, ex founder Elon Musk pay more than $3 million in fines and nominate a

legal representative within the country. I don't know how far we can go. I'm going to say strange how far we're getting in terms of information and the limitations they're trying to put on the population. The court's top judge, Alexander de Maria suspended X last week, claiming it allows the spread of misinformation. He also said a daily fine of nearly $9,000 for anyone using virtual private networks to access the platform. Musk said the ruling is

destroying free speech. Adding the current Brazilian administration likes to wear the cloak of a free democracy while crushing the people under its boot. Brazil's President issuing this warning, having a lot of money does not allow you to disrespect it. He is not a citizen of the world, President, Congressman, Senate or the Supreme Court. In addition to the ban on x, the court has also frozen satellite internet provider starlinks financial accounts in Brazil, which is owned by musk.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Okay, so that's kind of the backgrounder. And I found this Brazil professor of Brazilian studies on France 24 who was commenting on it, and it kind of gave me like, Oh, yeah. This makes total sense, because this is about, remember, we have a First Amendment. We have freedom of speech. You know, for some reason, Elon is very troubled about the freedom of speech in Brazil, which, of course, doesn't exist in any other country, to my knowledge, documented in the Constitution,

but the United States. And everyone's like, yeah, freedom of speech, yeah. Freedom

Unknown

of speech is an American concept. It has no place in European democracy. It's important, but it's not central. It's not the first amendment so, and the same situation is in Brazil. So this is clearly the American values being exported worldwide. It's a problem. It should be taken like this. It's the United States, the old way of seeing the United States, the First Amendment of the American Constitution being

exported worldwide. And been like that since the very beginning of Twitter, since the Green Revolution in Iran, since the Arab Spring, the Americans has been, have been exporting the First Amendment worldwide using social network. It's still like that, and Musk is doing exactly the same thing. The value of the First Amendment is very different. Now, the Republicans are still very keen on preserving the First Amendment, but the Democrats are not that keen on preserving the

First Amendment. So things are changing in the United States, and therefore they're changing worldwide.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So when I hear this, I'm reminded that, yes, Arab Spring, all of these things set up by techno experts, Hillary Clinton's little State Department outfit there, Elon Musk, is stirring up trouble and sentiment in Brazil for so I believe, for some kind of people's revolution, and it's probably working quite well. And there's a new administration possibly coming in. He used to be a Trump hater. I think he was a Trump hater. He switched on Elon,

Unknown

oh yeah, he

Adam CurryAdam Curry

switched on a dime. And now, boys, he's going to be in the administration, because there's something about Brazil that we all want to be have a part of. We'll get to that. But first, he is that professor for a short clip, right

Unknown

and now the finances of a second Musk business, the SpaceX Starlink, satellite internet service, has also been frozen. Could you tell us a bit about this and what kind of implications it may have for Brazil? Well, the Brazilian military rely on Starlink to communicate, just like Ukrainian, just like many military worldwide, they need stalling to establish communication. So Matt could theoretically stop every means of communication for the army in

Brazil. Nobody knows it is going to go that far, but he could play this game.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

There's a lot of leverage Elon Musk has with this. You don't want your military to communicate. I can just turn all of that off. No problem. So what is the big deal about Brazil? What do we care? Why would we want regime change? Why would we want a revolution? Kevin O'Leary shows up on I think Fox Business, talking about Brazil. He's the, you know, he's, was he, Mr. Wonderful, the super investor from Shark Tank. But he

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

kind of, he's on Fox a lot, well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

because he has business dealings

Unknown

Shark Tank investor, Kevin O'Leary is here. Kevin, great to see. Well, we'll talk about us in just a second. But Brazil, I used to cover it at the Wall Street Journal. It's a modern economy. A lot of us businesses deal with Brazil, but its president, a guy named his nickname is Lula, is a Marxist, and like most Marxists, one of the first things he's done is essentially taken over the judiciary, including the.

Supreme Court. I just wonder who what business in their right mind would want to do business in a country where this sort of thing happens? Everybody wants to do business in Brazil because of growth, the growth ethics there, the population, demand on goods and services, whether it's technology or anything else, is just straight up, almost double digits. So there's a lot of interest, including me, this latest tussle, if you want to call it that, and let me, let me be put out, you know, let me be

transparent about how I feel about it. As far as I'm concerned, Elon Musk is a modern day Bruce Wayne. I mean, he this guy has been so successful in so many sectors. So I'm a huge fan. And what I really love about him is his executional skills. But he's also got another trait, which I find very endearing, and you may or may not like this. He's a real poopoo disturber, if you know what I mean. He just doesn't give a poopoo. And I love that about him. He doesn't care what country, what

dictator, what leader, what judiciary. If they don't want his technology over the Amazon where they need high speed internet, he's happy to shut it off. He doesn't care if he doesn't get free speech, which is why he bought that, paid 42 million or billion dollars for Twitter in the beginning. Really, he owns it. He controls it. It's private. He can do whatever he likes. If I were the Lulu, as they call him, I think about that little bit. You got a lot of people that like internet

and like social media. Be careful on the egg shows you walking on Lulu baby.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So $44 billion which didn't come out of his own pocket, it came from banks who have all kinds of interest, where Saudi but also US banks who are trying to sell to get money for 30 cents on the dollar. And then O'Leary winds it up, he would just explain exactly what's going on. Yeah,

Unknown

it's Lou love, but that's that's all right, but, but the real question I have for you, you brought you mentioned that you're still involved there, and it does have this upward trajectory. But how long can that continue if you have, if you have a Marxist leader who's controlling to the judiciary, who, at any whim, can decide that you're no good and just take over what you what you built there? Well, if you look at the history of those kinds of situations,

the outcomes are not good for the lulas. And thank you for correcting me, of the world, because it's what the people want, and musk knows that, and people want technology, and they want to communicate with each other, and this is one of the services they like using. I think this thing will be resolved, because when you start shutting down commerce in where there's so much productivity and opportunity in the Amazon that hurts the country. And I think this, and look, as I said

before, I just love the way he does it. He doesn't give

Adam CurryAdam Curry

No, he doesn't so I'm just saying beware. He seems to be acting. Everyone has a master, and Musk is not masterless. He's doing stuff for for for different parties or interests. It's not just, it's not just for free speech. I just don't believe it.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Well, you're gonna have to come up with something a little better than these vague generalities to I'm not going to argue that he's not maybe working for the CIA or who knows who, and this whole thing may be some sort of a CRA

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Is he already? Is he's already working for these agencies? What

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

we heard from Larry was useless information. No, it's about, I don't know what? No, listen, that was worth a shit there. Said the Poopoo thing. He has to keep saying it. It's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

about, he's saying that people were will revolt. This is to get rile people up in Brazil and have a change in regime. They don't want the Marxist there, because there's lots of good resources in Brazil, and there's growth and etc, etc. There's business to be done. This is the same as exporting American democracy. It's exporting American freedom of speech, which I like, of course, but it's suspicious to me.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, well, that's Brazilians don't think like Americans think at all. And they they'd like Mark, not yet, not yet. Oh, there never will change. There's a saying about Brazil, and I've been there dozens of times. There's a saying about Brazil, which is, Brazil's the country of the future, and always will be, which is, pretty much summarizes

everything going on there. And they have their mentality is they've gone through these cycles of these Marxists, then go to the radical other guy, the right winger, than the Marxist and the right winger back and forth forever, and they just don't seem to ever get it together. I don't know what

Leary Leary's thinking, or is it O'Leary O'Leary at all? And this whole thing with with Musk is, is probably some other thing altogether we don't know anything about, maybe some something, some scammers, thing going on that we don't know about. Who knows. I think who the guy was good was that France, 24 character that you played that clip of that guy who had some analysis, I thought was more interesting, which is that we are the only country that has enshrined in our Constitution

the right to free speech, and nobody else cares. They're not that jacked up about it, like we are correct. And I think that's the one thing we never we just do not have at the top of our mind. We don't think like that. We think, well, everybody wants free speech, but they don't necessarily.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, the government certainly don't. And the Brazilian professor,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

sure, the government here does it either.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

The Brazilian Professor guy brought up one other thing which kind of stuck in my brain, like, oh, yeah, that's right. Another Elon hater was Glenn Greenwald. Glenn Greenwald did not like did not like Elon, but there was this whole thing kicked off with Glenn Greenwald, who, I might add, is politically active and lives in Brazil.

Unknown

Well, it all began when Elon Musk, right after having taken control of Twitter. Released some internal communication within Twitter and gave them to Glenn Griswold, who is well known for being behind the Snowden affair. And those communications showed that during President bolsonaro's legacy, the legal system in Brazil censored many, many Bolsonaro militants and fan and was doing some interference,

clearly, in Brazil's democratic system. And it ended up by, well as of today, censorship of Twitter in Brazil.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So we can't, on one hand, say, Oh, poor Tim pool, he got duped by the Russian money. Not think that anyone else is in that that happens to except us.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, where's our Russian money? Our Russian millions, 100,000

Adam CurryAdam Curry

per episode. If that's what I'm less or I'm waiting for, I'll be all in Ruski Uber Alice, good to go.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

There's a good one. Ruski Uber Alice, kind of mixed metaphor, if there ever was, I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

don't know where it came from anyway, so Well, the

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

problem is that we're too damned objective. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

have no hate for Elon Musk, but I just keep my eye on it, and I do it for you, for you people, I'm just keeping my eye on it. I just you, just, you can.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I like the fact that you're you're adamant, yeah, I like it. Yeah. You should give me as a counterpoint. I can, yes, looking for flaws in your logic.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I'm very happy. I'm very happy the Brazilian

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

thing, there's more, there's more to it than we're getting. There's info, there's missing information. I'm totally convinced of that. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

agree. I agree. We don't, we don't have everything yet. But for a guy who spent $44 billion of other people's money, you know, has completely blown all advertising away. No one wants to advertise there anymore, you know. And everyone's running, oh, Elon's the best, you know, with, with, you know,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

you know, I had, I think it was Horowitz who brought it up. So, just a success pool, Twitter's bad. And when it just said something minor. I feel just the opposite. As far as I'm concerned, after Elon took over Twitter, it is hilarious, as you always bitch about I broke too much reposting too many things. I think Twitter is funnier than it's ever been. It's got more nut balls, even though a lot of it's derivative, because they steal tick tock clips and put them on Twitter.

Yeah, lot of the best stuff is tick tock. Yes, still, but I think talk is just,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

just so we know, I've never said I don't like what, what x is. I mean, I think it's funny too. It's better than me funny. Yeah, no, I'm they

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

have a lot of phony baloney, AI stuff that's really, have you seen the one with the fly on his forehead?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Hold on. There's another thing Elon Musk started open. Ai started it yes to for to warn everybody and to keep the dangers, the danger of artificial intelligence in check. And now he's got the most outrageous grok thing running which does anything crazy you want it to. So how does that work? What is his actual modus operandi? You know, it's not to make money on x, because that we know is not happening unless he gets his all of his money. Offset. Or he's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

definitely, he's definitely posting too much on Twitter, yeah, with commentary. He's either post or reposting with commentary. He's always been the thing, wow, I put, he'll put that a lot, yeah, and look at this. Or, Oh, this is bad. And seems to spend more time on Twitter than Trump used to, yes, and which makes you wonder.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

And I follow and I follow that. You know, the his jet account is,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

uh oh, I've never followed the jet account, yeah, it's still on

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Mastodon the guy, because he got kicked off of Twitter for doing that, and the guy still posts on Mastodon, so I follow him there. And Musk is flying every day. So he's flying, he's in the air. He's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

tweeting when he's in the sky. Yeah, of

Adam CurryAdam Curry

course, of course. But you know, so is he really running companies?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I'm wondering about that, which, again, brings you back to my original point, which is, I think he knows how to hire people well, and he seems so good at it.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Or he's been put installed to run Kleiner

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

party. Have he's just, he's a front man, yes, for the intel community.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Probably, I mean, when I saw him with rulov Bota, who is now the CEO of Sequoia Capital, he was his handler, clearly, during the Tesla launch. You know, the guys at PayPal kicked him out. They hated him. So, you know, look,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I don't see him hanging around with Peter Thiel or any of the guys, no, because they

Adam CurryAdam Curry

hate him. They thought he was kooky, didn't like him, didn't like what he was doing, thought he was not a minor player. I mean, there's lots of, lots of evidence they don't the PayPal Mafia doesn't like him, so, you know, like each other, possibly so. But I have no hatred towards Elon. I think it's phenomenally funny, but I am definitely keeping my eyes open for humanity. Yeah, not me. You're just retweeting, like, look at this nut ball. You are all in on it. You love it.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

It's great.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I know, I know you think it's great, but you know, you know some of us care about the world.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Well, at some point you get over that, yeah. Well, I'm

Adam CurryAdam Curry

not there yet.

Unknown

You're getting there. You get no, no, no, I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

have at least another 10 years before I become like that. No. And

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

let's do, uh, let's do the three by three and talk about this

Adam CurryAdam Curry

all right. Now it's time for three by three. Yeah, baby experiment by JC D comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC, the never endings. So the jonesboy syndicator back in action for you, huh? They

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

or Steve? Yeah, it fits here because I had a series of three clips on China spies. Ah, yes, okay, first, so I wanted to play the three by three to see what the network was doing. Then we'll go to NTD and have better stories, because it gets as we know, NTD hates China, yes,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yes, exactly. All right. Where

Unknown

do we start?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

This is ABC, CBS, NBC, the spies in America. We have several of them. It turns out,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

yeah, I think, well, there's a lot of spies. Let's face it, yeah, there's everyone's all shocked. And my favorite stuff is coming up with the discovery that there's spies in the Chinese embassies. Oh, no, we don't do that ever. No, no, no, nothing we would ever do.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

No way. So

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

let's start with the short one and start with NBC. Okay,

Unknown

before we top aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochul was arrested today on charges of acting as a secret agent of the Chinese government. Chief Justice contributor Jonathan Deans is following this and John According to prosecutors, how did this work? Yeah, well, prosecutors say Linda Sun betrayed her official office by instead acting on requests of Chinese communist government officials. Son is charged with acting as an unregistered foreign agent. Her

husband was also arrested today. He's accused of laundering millions of dollars from China into the US. The couple pleaded not guilty in federal court. According to the indictment, the scheme went on for years. In return, son and her husband were allegedly given business opportunities in China and luxury gifts. The FBI says the pair used that money to buy a $4 million home on Long Island and a $2 million condo in Hawaii. Governor Hochul office says Son was fired last year after

evidence of misconduct was discovered. Lester

Adam CurryAdam Curry

misconduct that's not classified as

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

buying ducks, and she also worked for Cuomo. And the thing that's funny, interesting is that she, or she is an assistant, you know, working in the government, driving a Ferrari, and nobody's suspicious of this.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Hey, Kathy, you. So what, I'm what I missed in all of these news reports. And I don't know if, because you have two other ones here. Did Hochul come out and talk to anybody about this? Has anyone asked her to speak on camera? Oh,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

no. Hochul claims that she's responsible for them for kicking her out. Oh, okay. Oh, smart move. That's what. No, she came out and said, Yeah. She says she was suspicious. I don't think the Ferrari as for a government worker, was much to evidence. But okay, and

Adam CurryAdam Curry

How stupid are you as a spy to be rolling around in a Ferrari? Yeah,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

there you go. That's actually a good point that why would a spot good spies don't go around driving around Ferraris in the Emmy James Bond might. But you know, we're talking about real spies? Well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

you know, there's so much there's so much corruption. You see all these like that Mayor, all of these people who get into government places, a lot of them women, actually, and then they just go nuts on spending and buying cars and taking trips, and think that no one will figure it out, because I think the corruption is so deep and the money has been flowing for so long, I'm talking decades, they're

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

delusional. Yes,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yes,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

they're totally delusional. Let's go to a B C's report

Unknown

tonight. A former aide to two New York Governors has been arrested and charged with spying for China authorities searching the Long Island Home of Linda sun and her husband, Chris who, federal prosecutors say the couple received,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

who, who spying husband

Unknown

Chris who, federal prosecutors say the couple received millions in kickbacks from China and laundered the monetary proceeds to buy the mansion and then Hassett New York for three and a half million dollars a condominium in Honolulu, Hawaii for nearly 2 million in various luxury automobiles including a Ferrari Sun worked for former Governor Andrew Cuomo and his successor, Governor Kathy Hochul for more than a decade, and never disclosed any benefits she

received. Instead, prosecutors say she acted as an undisclosed agent of China, allegedly blocking representatives of the Taiwanese government from having access to the New York State Governor's office, and changing the governor's messaging regarding issues of importance to the Chinese Sun traveled to China, as seen in this photo included in the indictment, where prosecutors say she met with officials from the Chinese

Communist Party. She and her family also allegedly received gifts from China, including tickets to shows, concerts and events, as well as salted ducks prepared by a Chinese settlement official's personal chef. Sun is a naturalized US citizen who was born in China and rose to become hokul is Deputy Chief of Staff late today, Hochul responding, I'm curious, and I'm outraged, absolutely shocked at how brazen her behavior was. It was a betrayal of trust, the trust of

government, the trust of the people. And I'll tell you this, the second we discovered some levels of misconduct, we fired her and a representative for former Governor Cuomo, saying that while he was in office, son had little to no interaction with the governor.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

You know, it's kind of funny in the parallel universe. Before we left for for our quote, unquote vacation, we finished up Veep.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

And oh, you finally finished Veep. Yeah. And so in

Adam CurryAdam Curry

the last season, where they kind of compress everything and get it done, they didn't even have a full season. It seemed like she's running for president again. Selena Meyer and she hires a campaign manager, and it's, it's the

wrong guy. She thought it was some other guy. And this dork, like a total dork, oh, he comes in, and they keep shutting him out of meetings, everything, and and, you know, because actually, if someone, she has someone else running the campaign, and then it turns out that guy is actually a Chinese operative. And then he's in, he turns around and starts threatening her, like, oh, no, you if you don't do that, we're gonna want to, you know, we'll never let you become president. She says,

you know, you got to take care of my husband. They blow her that guy calls the Chinese. They blow up her ex husband on his boat. You know, it's just like, it's Wow. It's like this has been going on, and that's why they parody it. You know, these spies and the ones you never expect, except the Ferrari might have been a clue. Ferrari. Ferrari, you know,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

she, when you look at she also did a speech. She gave a speech on dei and how important it was. Oh, yeah,

Unknown

there you go.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I've seen that this, when you see her, she's one of those. She has a certain look that you see when you when you go to China and you're escorted by Chinese escort nationals who who speak no guys. It was just like a guy in this case, perfect English. Perfect English. Yeah, red flag. Well, besides that, the sense of humor, they, it's weird because they they can't do, they can't deal. You have this theory about a sarcasm in certain uh, cultures, those cultures, but

the. Chinese, perfect speaking English, speaking Chinese, in Chinese, Chinese. We're talking about the Nationals. Their sense of humor is not there. They don't have it. And they you can I remember this one. We were on this bus, and there was this guy from uh, giving us a lectures as we're driving around the bus, a bunch of us, and I'm in the front, and I'm making my doing one liners, just one thing after. And I noticed this guy

was he looked at me like, funny. Like, what? Why is he was saying that, and it would and I realized he has zero sense of humor, which encouraged me to do this even more well. So I would say something that was incredibly funny. We have guy was oblivious. This girl looks like

Adam CurryAdam Curry

that guy. We have a clip that accentuates that lack of humor.

Unknown

Don't laugh. Why you are laughing? Shut up.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, exactly so onward, now that we moved to the CBS clip. Slip the CIA says, Linda, what do you have to say to the allegations?

Unknown

Linda's son and her husband had nothing to say as they walked out of a Brooklyn federal court Tuesday, the former high ranking aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochul and her predecessor, Andrew Cuomo, pleaded not guilty to several charges accusing her of a brazen scheme to serve as a secret agent of China, a lot of the allegations. FBI agents raided Sun's Long Island Home back in July. At the

time, the reason was not disclosed. Now, the Justice Department alleges she shaped New York State messaging to align with Chinese priorities, blocked references to Taiwan and government documents and stopped meetings between state and Taiwanese representatives. In return, Prosecutors allege sun and her husband received millions of dollars in business in China, along with personal benefits, such as paid travel,

event tickets and a job for a family member. Federal investigators also claim the couple laundered the profits to purchase several multimillion dollar properties and luxury cars. Nice hochul's office said son's employment was terminated in March of 2023 after evidence of misconduct. And a spokesperson for Andrew Cuomo said son had little interaction with the then governor in her roles under his administration. Tony, all right. Trika, thank you very much.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

You know Cuomo is going to have to come before the I think it's a Senate committee about, you know the 15,000 old people he indirect, indirectly killed. But I wonder if she was, you know, any, I don't know this. You get China, you got Yeah, and why don't we do what? What they do with our agents, kill them.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I find this whole thing that the one aspect of this that I find baffling is that they fired her in March, and then they raided her place in July, and she's still here. Why didn't her, she and her husband pull up stakes and head out?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

And is it interesting that if you look at the known Chinese spy stories, it's hokel Democrat, it's well, well, Democrat, oh, well, and, and, what's the the old bag? What's her name? From Feinstein? Feinstein, 20 years you know Democrats,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Democrats keeping an eye on her. I know it's this. It's Yeah, well, let's go to what NCD has to say. In place, China spy is one. This is in D, D, the State

Unknown

Department confirmed today that China's counsel general in New York is no longer in office. The department said diplomat Huang Ping was not expelled and left after completing his scheduled rotation. The clarification came after New York Governor Kathy Hochul had said she asked for the Chinese diplomat to be expelled to send a message to the Chinese officials who worked with one of her former aides, Linda sun. Sun was charged yesterday with being an

unregistered agent of the Chinese regime. Here's State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller addressing the issue today foreign interference, including attempts to influence by through covert activities that should be registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act and are not registered. Are things that we take serious, very seriously, as you saw by the action Department of Justice took yesterday.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Where's the Chinese influencer, cash? You know, what are those guys? Dumb? You got to get some of those podcasters. Hint, hint, you got to get some podcasters on the payroll if you really want to influence anyone in America. And by the way, this timeline, which is bothersome, March 2023, and now it's coming out, this has got to be a ramp up towards the the Pacific.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

There's something go. You're right. This is a ramp that's too that is suspicious. Yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

we got to go out, start going after China. Pretty soon it's been in the man,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I think this is all part of the, yeah, we have to keep the money going to Ukraine or fix that problem. So we, let's set this, do this bull crap with the election interference and RT of all play places. Yeah? And now, let's ramp this Chinese thing up, even though I think your original point, which is, why don't we just kill them like they do to our people in China? Yeah. Okay. Onward.

Unknown

This comes after Linda sun, a former Deputy Chief of Staff a to Governor Hochul and former Governor Cuomo, was charged with conspiring to violate the foreign Agents Registration Act that's on top of other charges like alien smuggling, money laundering and visa fraud. While working for state government, Sun influenced the messaging of high level

state officials. In the indictment, Prosecutors allege that sun blocked Taiwanese government representatives from communicating with officials, as well as obtained official New York State proclamations for Chinese state representatives without authorization. So

Adam CurryAdam Curry

here's a commonality. So we have Farah act in the news today in two separate cases, one, Russia, two, China. But you know who's not registered under the Farah act APEC? Why? Because their money comes from the military industrial complex. So as long as you're in that camp, you're good to go influence all you want. Yeah, this is like, come on. Okay, so, well, this is interesting. I didn't expect this, actually, but 60 minutes, did a profile of Gina Raimondo. Oh,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

God, I saw that. Yes,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I got a couple clips, because she goes, let's finish the spy. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were done with the spies. No, no, you

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

did you play clip? Dude? Did you play clip?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

That was that was clear to clip three, I'm sorry. Clip three,

Unknown

I missed that one. And joining us now to explore how Chinese consulates are involved in CCP spy operations on American soil. Are two guests. Nan Su is a senior investigative reporter with The epic times, and Jimmy Quinn is a national security correspondent for The National Review. Thank you both so much for joining us. Great to see you both again. And so I want to start with you from your research, what is the role of Chinese consulates when it comes to the Chinese regime's overseas operations?

Well, first of all, thank you, Tiffany, for having me. Now the Chinese Consulate for long, long time, many years, they have been reaching out local different Chinese group like oversee Chinese alum alumni groups, Chinese student groups, local culture groups, for example, certain peoples from certain region, They will have speak different dialects, and so they

form some of the local cultural groups. And what they have done is they will have this group after these groups of form, they will keep the tight connection with only three or four, basically, very small group of top leaders. You know, we they know the true relation between their group and Chinese Consulate, and how, that's how the Chinese Consulate control all different all these different groups.

And expanding on that, Jimmy we saw in 2020 when the Chinese Consulate in Houston shut down, video showing personnel burning papers or documents in the back from a national security perspective, what is your reaction to those videos? Well, it's important to know that the Chinese Communist Party's long arm reaches right into American cities, and the

Chinese consulates are directing the hand of CCP repression. So the role that they play is that they are engaging with community members, as Nan said, and exerting the party's malign influence over politics, over community organizations. It's all part of the party's united front strategy.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

This is a Red Scare. Repeat

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

a little bit. They definitely this went on and on. I stopped it there, because it goes on and on with holy, you know, the different groups and the different kinds of way they do the spying, and then the phony baloney police departments, including the one they set up in New York City. It's kind of fascinating. They do a decent job, but they get caught. So, so do we?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So let me now that you've said that the 60 Minutes interview with Gina Raimondo, where did she come from? Gina Raimondo, did she just she was

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

the governor of Rhode Island, I believe, really. Yeah.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Gina Raimondo. I will consult the book of knowledge. Briefly, she, she looks spooky, by the way.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

She's creepy. Yeah, she

Adam CurryAdam Curry

is kind of creepy. Let me see, well, it doesn't say where she comes. I need the Wikipedia. So she was interviewed. Why? You know, well, there's, there's a couple of reasons. Probably, when you think about this, oh, she was in here it is. Oh, she began her career in venture capital.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Ah, yes, she was point VC Judith capital,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Rhode Island's first venture capital firm. Then she was the general treasurer of Rhode Island, where she prioritized reforming Rhode Island's public employee pension system, money, money, money. Okay, so she's, she's a, she's been around. She's a mover and shaker. So

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

she, she seems dumb, though, well, you

Adam CurryAdam Curry

got to be careful with the dumb ones, the most dangerous. So she pivots from Russia to China in this interview. And we started off because, well, you'll hear what what she her whole thing, and she's the What is this? What does the Department of Commerce really do? What is their job?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Became an issue, a point that she explained in this interview, because she didn't know what it did either when she took the job. Let's see

Adam CurryAdam Curry

if she explains it here.

Unknown

What does the Secretary of Commerce do until now? Mainly promote US businesses abroad. It had not been a high profile job till Gina Raimondo turned the second tier agency into a center of job creation, manufacturing and national security. Once the governor of Rhode Island, Raimondo, at 53 seems to have come out of nowhere to become a rising star of the Democratic Party.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Got to be careful of those rising stars that come out of nowhere and

Unknown

of the Biden administration as Commerce Secretary, she's running new projects that, as we first reported in April, could touch the lives of every American, and she's helping lead the expanding cold war with China and confront Russia's aggression in Ukraine. The battlefield for both

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

do with Russia and Ukraine? Well, it's

Unknown

coming up is technology. Technology, if you think about national security today, in 2024 it's not just tanks and missiles. It's technology, it's semiconductors, it's AI, it's drones, and the Commerce Department is at the Red Hot center of technology,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

the red hot center. Okay, so she This is making more sense. She's placed firmly in all of these issues with Russia and China

Unknown

and at the Red Hot center, a global chip war ramped up, says Gina Raimondo, when Russia invaded Ukraine, the Commerce Department stopped all semiconductor chips from being sold to Russia. Every drone, every missile, every tank, has semiconductors in them. And you know Leslie, you know we're being effective, because shortly after we started that work, we heard stories of the Russians taking semiconductors out of refrigerators, out of dishwashers, out of breasts.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

By the way, you should stop for a second. I heard this. This is bull crap, of course. How many refer I have a big refrigerator. I got dishwashers. I've there's no semiconductors in any of the gear I have. And I'm in the United States with high end gear, yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

but, but she says, here they took them. They took semiconductors out of breast pumps. Yeah, come on.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

And they just can't take random semiconductor and then all of a sudden put it in a drone. I mean, is this a chip? You can do any bull, yeah, it's a chip. That's exactly right. That's the way she it's a chip. It's a chip. Just is so much nonsense. She's the same woman that we had a clip. I don't know if we actually played it, but we had the clip of her being called out on the fact that there was this job, the jobs report was off. And she says, Well, Trump's a liar. Oh,

was this Bureau statistics that said this? And then she says, I never heard of him.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Hold on a second, liar,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

it would be a good we just played

Adam CurryAdam Curry

ramondo, yeah, unfortunately, I don't have

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

he was she Anyway, she's, she's a dummy. That was just the other day. It was just the other day. It was recently. Yes,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

jobs report, let me see. Well, I'll look for it while we continue with this clip,

Unknown

out of refrigerators, out of dishwashers, out of breast pumps, getting the chips to put them into their military equipment. However, the Russians are now working their way around this. They are successfully and they're doing better in the war. Probably.

Because of this, you are right in what you say, but she says it's absolutely the case that our export controls have hurt their ability to conduct the war, made it harder, and we are enforcing this every minute of every day, doing everything we can now.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Do you hear her speaking there? Does she sound like Kamala Harris, or what

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

she sounds a little BS, is a milieu? Yes,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

listen to it again, that

Unknown

our export controls have hurt their ability to conduct the war. Made it harder, and we are enforcing this every minute of every day, doing everything right there, right

Adam CurryAdam Curry

there every minute of every day. All right. So

Unknown

talk about this enforcement. These are some of the enforcers. We should talk about our controls on Russia. Raimondo, team at Commerce that monitors and polices the ban on any company in the world from selling products with American chips in them to Russia, China, but not just Russia. I've made sure that the most advanced American technology can't be used in China. The Chinese warn that these export controls could trigger an

escalating trade war. Trade with China accounts for 150,000 US jobs, and if trade ends, we lose our jobs. We want to trade with China on the vast majority of goods and services, but on those technologies that affect our national security. No, no, no. Those advanced chips are in consumer goods. Banks use them hospitals. This is going toward products that are made for civilian use, yeah, well, they also go into nuclear weapons surveillance systems.

And we know they want these chips and our sophisticated technology to advance their military, just so

Adam CurryAdam Curry

you know, breast pump chips are spying on you. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and an Aspen Institute Rodel fellow. So here so now she's gone to the Chinese and this is what it's all about.

Unknown

Her toughness has made her a target in China, where fake ads have her promoting the new Chinese made smartphones. Last year, the government in Beijing hacked her email, and when she was in China,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

what they hacked her email? This would have been a pretty big story, of the Chinese are hacking

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

whole story of this whole presentation is bull crap for the fact that the Chinese are putting they developing. Here's what a lot of people believe is happening when they would, would Biden put the kibosh on sending certain kinds of chips to China that they that are made in Taiwan anyway, as if they can't get a back door from Taiwan. But that's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

coming up. That's coming up, yeah, is that

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

the Chinese are going to start doing their own fabs and they'll catch up? Well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

this is the story her

Unknown

email. And when she was in China on a trip, ironically, to improve relations, the tech company Huawei introduced that new smartphone with an advanced Chinese made chip. It was kind of in your face, as if to say, look at the chip, and it was a pretty good high level chip.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Leslie Stahl knows all about high level chips.

Unknown

I have their attention clearly, and they've gotten yours. Well, what tells me is the export controls are working because that chip is not nearly as good. It's years behind. What we have.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

How does she know all this is years behind? Yeah, what

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

is years behind? Mean, I mean, the reason for the newer chips is because they're cheaper and faster, but the old ships. I mean, you can use a phone that's five years old and is still dynamite. Yes, this is near old crap.

Unknown

Really is good. It's years behind what we have in the United States. We have the most sophisticated semiconductors in the world. China, doesn't we've out innovated China. Well, we, you mean, Taiwan, fair while American companies design the world's most advanced chips, none are actually made in the

US. 90% of them come from Taiwan, and they are key to the future of us, military weaponry and China, from time to time, threatens, you know, the wolf to invade Taiwan, and some people say the whole reason is to get their hands on those chips. That's a problem. It's a risk. It makes us vulnerable. There

Adam CurryAdam Curry

it is. We have to protect our chips made in Taiwan from the Chinese.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

That's that's as we can. Come here and the chips Act's doing nothing. Nope. The tmsc guy, the TSMC guy, came over here and you can't set up shop because of the labor laws and whatever, he says, screw that. And then recently, since they gave a billions to Intel because they have a couple of fabs, and they're going to build some out, and then Intel made this announcement. I think it was in the last couple of weeks that, you know maybe we're going to get out of the ship, making

business, the stock skyrocketed. So, I mean, what is going on here? These guys are just bumblers.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

What does Intel do besides chips? Nothing. So they're just going to become a VC or something. No,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

well, if they don't, I mean, they can, they're, most of their designs are, I think I don't know where they're making their chips at, but they can make them in Taiwan, just like anybody else does, right? Or any other fab someplace

Adam CurryAdam Curry

else, getting out your fab business is what they see. Yeah, they were thinking of

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

getting at, thinking of getting out of the fat business, even though there was some rumor going around that they were going to start making Nvidia chips, which is very humorous, yeah, because they can't sell enough of their own chips, but they were thinking of making Nvidia but once. But the thing that's the kicker is when they said they might get out of

the fab business, the stock went skyrocketing. That's funny. So some things so these guys that are running things are but and with Raimondo at the at the top of it, are bumbling idiots.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, since you brought up Nvidia, I might as well play it.

Unknown

He's AI's top dog being brought to heal. Nvidia has reportedly been issued a subpoena by the US Justice Department amid a deepening probe, Bloomberg reporting that the DOJ suspects the chip making giant of using monopolistic practices to keep clients from switching to other suppliers and penalizing those that don't use its chips exclusively, the company defending itself in a statement in video, wins on merit, as reflected in our benchmark

results and value to customers who can choose whatever solution is best for them. The recent boom in artificial intelligence applications like chatgpt has put Nvidia's specialized processors in high demand, with sales more than doubling each quarter, its annual revenues have skyrocketed from 16 billion in 2020 to more

than 120 billion expected this year. Regulators are reportedly focusing on Nvidia's recent acquisition of run AI, which makes software that manages AI computing sales practices that favor clients who run Nvidia products exclusively are also said to be under the microscope, led by CEO Jensen Huang. Nvidia's blockbuster performance has seen its share price more than double this year, briefly becoming the world's most

valuable company. The probe comes at a pivotal moment for the industry, though, as the AI boom has been losing steam on markets over fears that its hype has far outpaced its actual economic benefits.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I did not have on my bingo card the Department of Justice kicking off the AI downturn. That was pretty interesting. Nvidia beat their numbers, but yet the stock dropped by 10%

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, kind of nuttiness goes on constantly,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yeah. Well, you heard it there. It's like, well, we're not so sure that. See, yeah, I'm, I am bearish on AI.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, that's that. There's a nice story that came out saying, so far AI has lost half a trillion dollars. I had to look twice at it, half a trillion, trillion. Wow.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Hey, with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. In morning. The in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the chip roar. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one the only Mr. John

it's just stay home. And of course, we have the, you know, right to not be disturbed. We should have that's good. That's good. That's coming in America too. We have the right to not be disturbed.

Obviously not that many people there compared to x, but we, we also like it if you use the modern podcast app, which will alert you when we send out the bat signal. And you use the same app you'll use for your podcast, you can then use for for listening to the live

stream, getting into the troll room. And also most of these modern podcast apps, you see a little, a little donate button or support this show. Sometimes it's a little dollar sign you click on that, it takes you right to no agenda donations.com or whatever value for value website your favorite podcast uses. So we have been operating on value for value, no Russian money here. We have no Russian money. Instead, we have producer money. Because we have producers, we don't have

listeners. They're out there providing time, talent and treasure, many different things that you can be doing to support the show, hitting people in the mouth, letting them know about it. I see people are always slashing the X about the show and saying, Hey, you should listen to no agenda. I think those things really help. Oh, I know those things help, slashing the X, yeah, I made that up myself. Well, you used to tweet. So what do you do on x? You slash an X? I don't know.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I'm just that's an interesting phrase. They might catch on.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I've only been using it for six months,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I haven't heard it.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I say it every single morning when we start the show, I said, boost the two, retweet the tweets and slash the X.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I don't remember this. Okay? And you say it every single morning,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

every show morning, yes, as we go into

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

the No, as I was every morning, just wake up. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

just wake up. That's right. I said good morning. Slash the X baby. Let's go, boom. And Tina's All right, hold on a second. By the way, Tina got put in comment jail. But for she doesn't know she

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

What does she say? Does she know what she's no no, but she doesn't know what she said,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

No. So this is on Instagram. And so she posts, she can post. She posted, you know, picture, video of the surprise party, and she says, Hey, I can't comment. And says, You can't comment for a week.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I said, Well, when she says something, she doesn't, She's not the type of person that says the cool, nasty stuff. No,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

she must have hurt somebody's feelings.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I mean, how else does it? That's not the kind of that's not the way. No, well, she must have said, used a rot, you used the word weird or something. Again, that doesn't count.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Okay, we'll let you slide. Doesn't count. Well, let

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

you say I'm quoting that. She may have said that because I know that some wordage, just casual wordage that people would normally use, gets you put in these, these prisons. I know

Adam CurryAdam Curry

you can't say kill that's why people are saying unalive. The unalive can't kill it. No, you're killing it. Lady. No, you unilate it. You can't say rape. You can't say pedophile. Say you say PDF file. There's all kinds of yeah, oh yeah. There's on the ground that's also on X, on x,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

if you do that, you can't say pedophile on x.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Go ahead, try it.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Oh my god, you mentioned I won't. I never said it.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yeah, you can't. You can't do that. It's No, I just pedo, maybe I don't know. No, she does, and she, you know, and she's like, What did I do? And you can't find out, which is, makes no, yeah, that's ridiculous. Makes no sense. How

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

you not going to do it again if you don't know what it was you did in the first place. I know all these platforms do this because they don't have anybody working there. It's all done by machines. They're lazy. This is like, the customer service, like, I'll have some issues with my YouTube TV. No, you tried to contact there's no customer service. You can't use this. Whatever it is. You tried

Adam CurryAdam Curry

to contact someone at Google. That's No, you can't, like trying to contact someone at Apple. It's like, no, not possible. No, no. It's not unless

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

having difficulty getting YouTube TV to work on on the you'd think one of my browsers, well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

hold on a second. You'd think that with all the AI that Google is involved with, there'd be an just say, and I'm going to use the word an awesome AI chat bot,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

who could, oh, there is, there's an AI chat bot. And don't know anything, go here. Did that Was that helpful? Yes, no, go here. Was that helpful? Yes, no. It's always no, because it's not helpful

Adam CurryAdam Curry

at all. No, where. I have a problem with my USB. You know, I'm looking up all kinds of AI and search engines. And no, I

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

have, you need Darren. Darren O'Neill,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

that's right, you need Darren. That's exactly what it is. Darren is one of our Dutch masters who create artwork for the show. We use new art for every single episode. It helps a lot. It grabs attention. You know, you throw it on your on your timelines, people like, whoa, what's that? And it's and it also entertains us. We like, we like. It entertains everybody. Really good artists is always entertaining. Ai generated or not good art is good art. So for Episode 1691 we

titled that joy boy. Oh, by the way, you remember we were talking about the word joy, yeah, and I said it had something to do with Nazis. We thought we could have Joy Division, Joy Division, so, but a lot of people said, yes, these were brothel camp brothels in the concentration camps that service the Nazi officers to boost morale, as well as a form of sex therapy for those with homosexual tendencies who needed

to be shown the joy of the opposite sex. And these sex slaves in the brothels were typically female Jewish prisoners, and if they expired, they just replaced it with more. But they that was known as the Joy Division of the Nazis. And it kind of makes sense the Joy Division in at NPR, they have a joy czar. Well, yeah, it's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

to keep it's got to be a whore. Yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

there you go. You nailed it. Uh, thank you to Sir net Ned, who brought us the artwork for Episode 1691 was pretty good. We were looking at different pieces. This was the vibe meter, where we had, on the left, joy and hope, a nice green colors, and on the right, fear, anger and then just Trump's head. Yeah, for the for the for the vibe meter. And let me see what other artwork was there that we were looking

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

much. It was a few Joy boy pieces that we didn't like. We you know, they were usable, but now we were going to use that for the title. And that was pretty obvious, yeah. And people should recognize. We usually spot the title the show.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Here's what's funny. You were like, Hey, I like that pack of cigarettes. I said it says fags keep pubs alive. Do you think that will be understood everywhere?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Well, yeah, you got me on that one. And then it was by tanta Neil, and the title of the art was fags. It was probably a bad idea. Sorry. That was out I did like sweepers pieces.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yes, I use new newsletter. Sweepers new. I think he's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

new or she is new. And they do. They're doing evergreen that is usable to me. So Evergreens are always welcome. Yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

let's see what else was there.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

They had a picture your head with joy boy. That was a bit much rather disturbing,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

disturbing piece of art. More AI stuff, of course, some 60th I kind of like the joy czar that Darren did, which was, again, AI, but it was this just dour looking clown who has a joy czar button on. It's a funny piece, but I think you thought it was too gruesome.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

No, you're the one that thought it was gruesome. I kind of liked it. What I said we should use it. Oh, no, no, I don't think, whereas I keep looking for it, I'm not seeing it. It's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

next to this on the row with the bottom, yeah, yeah. I

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

never said it was too gruesome. I didn't like it. No, you just said you liked it. Well, I mean, I liked I didn't like it enough to pick it. Okay? It's a cute piece in the funny way, because it's, you know, it's essentially

Unknown

waltz, yes,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yes. Is that waltz dancing? That video everyone's sending around the one

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

that he's wearing his halter top, yeah, that one that's a, like, a Texas gay convention somewhere, Austin, yeah, is

Adam CurryAdam Curry

that wall? No,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

it doesn't. I mean, I think somebody did a walls head on it, but, no, I liked it, but it might as well be. His

Adam CurryAdam Curry

whole family hates him. All of all of Minnesota hates him. They have, like, Walt's dunk tanks and shoot the waltz head at the at the county fairs, they don't like

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

him. He didn't do a very good job of picking that guy.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

That's that's a little obscure I didn't know. Well,

something. It's so good.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I know it's crazy, giving it away. Yes, yes, you just want some credit here a couple of clips that backs up your thesis that you always like to bring out, where the New York banker thinks that all this immigration is working out.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Oh well, it's not just the New York banker. It's all the New York Bankers.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

It's all the bankers. So here's New York banker. I got two clips that kind of just goes along that line of thinking. The US

Unknown

is experiencing the largest immigration surged since the great wave of the late 1800s the Congressional Budget Office says an overwhelming majority, around 6.5 million, are illegal immigrants. There were fewer babies born in the United States last year, less than 3.6 million. Then there were illegal immigrants coming into this country. Population researcher Steve Mosher says 10% of those babies are the babies of illegal immigrants. I'm all in favor of more children. All right, I'm all in

favor of population growth. I think a population decline leads to economic collapse. It leads to societal collapse. Mosher says this immigration may help the US with its historically low fertility rate, but he says it's better for citizens to have more babies than illegal immigrants. Census Bureau data suggests most illegal immigrants are young,

have a low level of education and are ready to work. These immigrants compete with native foreign Americans for low paying jobs, and this is likely to keep wages relatively low.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yes, that's the whole idea. It's working,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

from the sounds of this report, it sure is. Of course, it would be nice if we have babies, but nobody wants to do that. No. So here we go with part two.

Unknown

The jobs most commonly worked by illegal immigrants are as construction workers, housekeepers, cooks and janitors. The overwhelming majority come from Latin American countries like Venezuela, Mexico and Honduras. Many are also from China, Russia, India or Africa. Their top destinations are California, Texas, New York, New Jersey and Florida. The Congressional Budget. Office estimates the migrant surge will boost federal revenues by 1.2 trillion over a

decade. It says the surge will boost economic activity and the migrants themselves will pay taxes.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Don't worry, they'll pay taxes. Well, this brings me to I should mention

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

that they left out the other job opportunities for them, which is apartment

Adam CurryAdam Curry

management, managing apartments. Yeah, if that's now spread to Chicago, isn't she, the Venezuelans, supposedly,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

but there's, you know, well, yes, I had a clip about some guy threatening them with, yeah, the black guy, the black guy in the car, yeah, the black guy with the switches, which is a rigged Glock, yeah, and yes, there's been, you know, the the actual evidence of this is, is scant.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, just That's, oh, there you go, producers, we need the evidence. Get into those apartment buildings, let us know what's going on. Now, this baby thing is a is a point of propaganda, anti propaganda, from the from the Democrat run mainstream media, which is all of it. And sorry to do this, but I do need to bring in joy Reid, because she's, of course, still

the spokes hole for MSNBC. She's so good at it. And you know, whenever you're talking about babies, if you're talking about American babies, then you're a dick basically, then you're just a douchebag. And she actually has a name for it, and it's not just the people. Obviously, she's talking about JD Vance, because He's weird. But also about the

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

count, no,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

it doesn't count. Also about the podcasts that the President is going on. You know, he's been on Theo Vaughn, I like

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

everything he was freed

Adam CurryAdam Curry

megs, Freedman. Friedman, yeah. And, and here you go. Listen to this. Well,

if it's a day that ends in why, that means yet another clip of Donald Trump's running mate, Senator JD Vance, has resurfaced. And folks, if you thought it couldn't get any weirder. Think again. There it is. Take a listen to comments that he made back in September 2021 when asked about where he thinks gender and racial resentment come from. To me, what it is is sort of a value system to replace the fact that they're all fundamentally atheist or agnostic. They have

no real value system. Their only value system is achieve in a very conventional way, and so the idea that somehow they're pursuing racial or gender equity is like the value system that gives their life meaning. Well, of course, they all find that that value system leads to misery, leads to unhappiness.

Clearly, this value set has made me a miserable person who can't have kids because I already, you know, passed the biological period when it was possible, and I live in a 1200 square foot apartment in New York, and I pay $5,000 a month for it, but I'm really better than these other people. What I'm gonna do is project my like, racial and gender sensitivities on the rest of them. I mean, what? Seriously? I mean, did anybody, anybody from the Trump camp, met this

guy? But I guess it isn't too surprising.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So then she introduces a term, which I think we need to be on top of, What

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

is her problem? To what he said,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

she's just laughing for laughing sake, but it's a setup to discredit men. Hello, and not just men, but the manosphere. Wait, manosphere. Where's the manosphere? The

Unknown

trove of unearthed comments from Vance, all seem to have one thing in common. They all vilify women who don't have kids, specifically biological kids, which may sound odd to those of us on earth one, but it's actually a popular

sentiment in something called the manosphere. The manosphere is basically a network of online communities, websites, blogs, forums and podcasts, podcasts that all promote masculinity, misogyny and anti feminism, they are obsessed with birth rates and the idea that women should be nothing more than baby makers. Only job should be taking care of the home and

raising children. Praised a 2017 report on families written by the architects of project 2025 the introduction to this report, calling it admirable, and should trump and Vance win the White House, these ideas as long with the along with those of the manosphere, could become a reality for the rest of us, something we know because their buddies wrote it all down in Project 2025 the. Man, the

Adam CurryAdam Curry

manosphere, baby. I

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

didn't remember that word being in the project 2025, manuscript. It

Adam CurryAdam Curry

is now the manosphere. We are part of the manosphere. It used to be toxic masculinity, yeah. Are you a man

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

or toxic masculinity? Are we toxically masculine? The two of us, I would hope so kind of old to be toxically masculine, and I'm catching up. Does that count? I'm

Adam CurryAdam Curry

catching up the manosphere. The manosphere, yeah, that's it. It's it's Tim pool, the Joe Rogan, no agenda show. I'm just inserting us into the big names. Theo Vaughn with the manosphere. Man, we got podcasts. They're coming for podcasts, by the way. Have you noticed there's ever since Trump started going on all these podcasts? They're coming for podcasters. Podcast, no good man. Oh, sphere, oh, wait, here's Alex. Alex Wagner, MSNBC, again tonight.

Unknown

JD Vance spoke at an event for the conservative group turning points USA, which supports Donald Trump. Trump, meanwhile, is sitting for a town hall this evening on his preferred network, Fox News. And even though Trump speaks almost exclusively to friendly outlets, he has broadened his horizons this election cycle, the New York Times reports this week on Trump's new strategy to court what is being called the man overseer. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hey,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

hold on a second. I like manosphere now it's man overseer. Consolation

Unknown

of YouTubers, pranksters and streamers with massive online followings.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

If you're a podcaster, it's manosphere. If you're a streamer, it's manoverse.

Unknown

The aim here is to target young men and to exploit and deepen the existing gender divide between Trump supporters and Harris supporters. And these streamers in the man overseer all of whom are young white men. They have hosted Trump on their online channels for what might technically be called interviews, but really defy any sort of journalistic characteristics. Oh,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

they're not really interviews. They defy any journalistic integrity or whatever. So

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

yeah, Donna Bash is much better at the hard questions than some podcaster.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So I have one clip from Lex Fridman with Trump. Have you noticed that Trump does mirroring in these podcasts? Yes,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

he does mirroring a lot. So it was brought up by Tyrus on the guy I wish should taking the clip, because it was quite good, right?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Tyrus part of the manoverse, because obvious, he's not white, and

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

you know, he says he's not, he's honorary, honorary man. He's honorary white, uh, Trump lover, yeah, he goes off on Lex Freeman is saying, How can this guy talk any slower? I wanted to, yeah, kill him, you know. And went on and on about, it's quite funny, yeah, and

Adam CurryAdam Curry

so you saw it with Theo Vaughn, Trump was totally mirroring Theo Vaughn and with Lex Friedman, it was Trump was almost, you know, was he breathing? Wow, it was we got really slow. And this is the one clip I pulled. But

Unknown

a lot of big people went to that island, but fortunately, I was not one of them. It's just very strange for a lot of people that the list of clients that went to the island has not been made public. Yeah, it's, it's very interesting, isn't it probably will be, by the way, so if you're able to, you'll be, yeah, certainly take a look at it now. Kennedy is interesting

because it's so many years ago. You know, they do that for danger too, because, you know, endangering certain people, etc, etc. So Kennedy is very different from the Epstein thing. But, yeah, I'd be inclined to do the Epstein. I'd have no problem with it. Yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

no problem. All right, yeah, another reason to vote for Trump. Answer, there another reason to vote for Trump. He's gonna release the alien

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

files. Yeah, Kennedy files, yeah, everything, yeah. I, where

Adam CurryAdam Curry

have I heard that before?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

We'll see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have the because you bring Trump in just to balance things off. I do have Harris's Small Business speech, which I want to play. Yes. This was I have a question to ask you about. This is a two parter. Here she is in part one.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Make sure I have the right one. Yeah, this is kind of her whole economic policy that she announced with this. Yeah,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

right. In a nutshell,

Unknown

yeah. Vice President Kamala Harris spoke in New Hampshire. Wednesday afternoon, she revealed a new part of her economic plan focusing on small businesses. Jason Blair brings us the latest in Portsmouth. Vice President Kamala Harris proposed her new plan to quote support small businesses and invest in entrepreneurs. Part of my plan is we will. Expand the tax deduction for startups to $50,000 second, my plan will help existing small businesses grow. We will provide low and no interest loans to

small businesses that want to expand. She says she wants to make it easier to open a small business by removing hurdles and creating support. And her campaign says Harris has the goal of creating 25 million new business applications in her first term as president, if elected.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

All right, well, so she's going to do throw some money in tax benefits. It's not like you're gonna actually get any cash. No,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

you actually have to be a small business that is making profit to take

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

any benefit, any benefit. Yeah, but here's the part that gets me as a part two, there's a thing in here that just, I just befuddled by, I'm gonna ask you. Okay,

Unknown

according to AP, since Biden took office, about 19 million of those applications have been filed, and the Granite State is how many 19 million of those applications have been filed, and the Granite State is a bit of a deviation from her recent focus on battleground states such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Poll averages for New Hampshire are

showing Harris up by 5% over former President Trump. The Trump campaign responded to Harris's announcement to help small businesses, saying in a statement, quote, why hasn't she done it during her four years as Vice President? After the Portsmouth event, Harris will travel to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she is expected to stay until the debate between her and Trump on September 10. Trump is also visiting Pennsylvania this week. On Wednesday, he'll be appearing

at a Fox News Town Hall in Harrisburg. Okay,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

what's your question?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

What is this application they're talking about? I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

looked for that's funny. You say that. I'm like, Hey, how can I get in on this? Do you need an application?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

You just either do it or you don't. Don't. Yeah, you

Adam CurryAdam Curry

just hang out a shingle. You're good to go reply to

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

anybody the Small Business Administration to start a small business? Yeah, she makes it sound like you got to go through jump through hoops to start a small business. You

Adam CurryAdam Curry

don't. That's America. That's the beauty of it. You just say, here I am. Adam curry,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

how does she know that? As far as she's concerned, everything goes through the government. Well, that's what she wants.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Exactly what she had a similar clip, but also I had the name of her economic policy. Did you not catch the names she's branding it?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

You know what? Night I did not catch it. I'll just play a little bit of this

Unknown

as a late comer to the race. Kamala Harris has been rolling out her agenda piece by piece, focused on what she's branded the opportunity economy. There

Adam CurryAdam Curry

it is, the opportunity, the opportunity economy, okay? So

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

the opportunity economy, so the regulations, so Kamala an opportunity to fill out more forms.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Kamala went to Pennsylvania, and a couple things happened. First, President Biden was there as a surrogate to to help her out.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, yeah, and,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

and, I don't know if this

Unknown

helped you no longer be the manufacturing capital world. Where the hell is that written? We are the greatest manufacturing city or county in the world, state in the world. Remain that way. Eric dean of the ironworker,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I love that the people are just clapping. Bricklayer, yeah. Bricklayer.

Unknown

SEIU, his dad was great. And Jimmy Williams, the painters Allied Trades. And then his dad, his dad's a really good man. Holy crap.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Jimmy Williams, who has

Adam CurryAdam Curry

the nuclear codes, who has them? And now I have a question for you. There's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

more stuff into you. I mean, I'm glad you got that clip. I didn't get any, but he was just off the rails. It

Adam CurryAdam Curry

was the real Biden. I mean, he's still he's the real Biden is out there trying to get something done to show that he's still alive, which is all that he is. I mean, this guy, this this person, cannot be, uh, running our government. You know, do you think that that there's still, let's say, how about this? What if Trump wins the election, Kamala could still pull a quick switcheroo? Do the 25th amendment be the first female black president for two months?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

That would be funny. Like, why

Adam CurryAdam Curry

not? She could be in the history but she's crazy enough to do it. I mean, what does she have to lose? Well,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

at that now, I didn't, you know, I didn't consider that. I've always thought about her pulling that stunt so she'd be the president. She can't do it before the election, because then it would look like she was trying to, you know, get some it looked cheesy, but I never thought about it after the election, yeah, or maybe two months, I think it's the whole of December, she'd be the president. Yeah, she could do almost November and part of January.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

She could start a nuclear war in Ukraine, do anything she wants. Now, this is a very well known clip, and I have a question about this clip for you. Everywhere

Unknown

I go, I tell people, Look, you may not be a union member, you better. Thank a union member for the five day work week, you better. Thank a union member for sick leave you better. Thank a union member for paid leave you better. Thank a union member for vacation time.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So of course, everyone focused on her code switch. There her southern drawl, which came out. But is that true? Did the unions create the five day work week, the sick the paid sick days and vacation. Was that the unions who did that,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I think this needs looking into. It was,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

in fact, Henry Ford.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Oh, yes, right, because Henry Ford this. There was a special on Henry Ford on the BIOS channel, and they discussed this. And it was the problem with what Henry Ford ran into. He invented the assembly line, yep, because the the I'll just run down it, you know, to watch it. But he was the demand for the Model T Ford, which took him five years to develop. And he had a bunch of the Dodge Brothers, included investors he

had to pay back. Eventually he got the thing out, and because it was cheaper than anything else, and it was, it was reliable and rugged, and the demand went through the ceiling. And so he by looking at a meat packing plant, he decided to invent the assembly line, the modern assembly line for automobiles, so he could keep up with the demand for the car. And then what it turned out, as he did this, the jobs were so repetitive and boring that people were quitting left and

right. He had a huge employment problem. He couldn't keep anybody working there because they were quitting left and right. It was because it was dull. And that's when he invented these things.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So it was not a socialist union member. It was, in fact, the capitalist industrialist Henry Ford who you need to thank. Just a little point of contention, yes, on your agenda. Yes, she's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

full of shit. Let's face it.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

All right, this is a day late, a day short. These

Unknown

actions will not be our last. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced terrorism charges against senior leaders of Hamas. The charges relate to their roles in the atrocities committed in Israel. On October 7, the Justice Department unsealed charges against Yahya senoa and other senior leaders of Hamas for financing and directing a decades long campaign to murder American citizens and endanger the security of the United States.

The charges come after Israel said it recovered the bodies of six hostages who were killed by militants in captivity, that included Israeli American Hirsch Goldberg Poland. We are investigating Hershey's murder, and each and every one of the brutal murders of Americans as acts of terrorism. Goldberg Poland's parents are Chicago natives who became international icons in the struggle to free hostages. They said they hope their son's murder becomes a turning point in the negotiations. So

Adam CurryAdam Curry

okay, there

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

were hot. Here we are the world's police. Yep,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

we were hot. There were hostages since October 7 of last year, and now all of a sudden, we're going to engage the military industrial complex to go bomb them further. Because, well, we got our arrest warrants out for you. You know what? This is, how this gets interpreted by the nut jobs in our Congress. And when I say the nut jobs leading the pack. Lindsey Graham,

Unknown

sinwar, your days are numbered, pal. We're not gonna indict you. We're gonna kill you. We're

Adam CurryAdam Curry

gonna kill you. Just send Lindsey Graham over to get a tough talker. Send him over. Send him over. There

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

you go. Now you're talking to him. Do

Adam CurryAdam Curry

it. Let him do it.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Now I'm going to play, I would like to play a controversial clip, because we've had people thinking that we, you know, we are on the side of Israel or in on the side of Palestine, depending on who you are. We're getting them. You don't take sides on this thing mosaics,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

but

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

we, you. We share, Where's our money? So we have, we know that the Palestinians, or mainly the Hamas people, are genocidal. They want to end Israel and kill all Jews. And we have to realize that this is a two way street.

And I'm going to play a clip from a podcast called Two nice Jewish boys that is out of Israel, and it's everybody's all bent out of shape, because these guys expressed what I think is not necessarily a not necessarily a singular thought, because I think the Jewish population of Israel is hates the Palestinians. We've talked about this to the to an extreme, and is, and it goes both ways. And I just think we should get this out of the way so we can at least be on the record for for

acknowledging this thing. Here's the two nice Jewish boys,

Unknown

if you gave me a button to just erase Gaza, every single living being in Gaza would no longer be living tomorrow. I would press it in a second. That's just, I think, I mean, I think most Israelis, if that's the choice, yeah, yeah, no, even if it's not like right now, yeah. And I would press it right now, yeah. Same with the territories. I would press it right now. No choice, no. I'm saying for the chance, yeah, yeah. I would press it right now. Give me that button and press it right now.

There you go. And I think most Israelis would, yeah, most Jewish, they wouldn't post. They wouldn't talk about it like I have. They wouldn't post. They wouldn't say, I pressed it. Yeah, but they don't have balls of steel like you. But they would press it right, like if they were in a closet alone. They wouldn't even hesitate. Someone came to them and said, no one will know you press this. All the Palestinians are gone. You'd be like, is there another one?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, I think this is true. I know Sir Brian of London would be all in on that. And I think these two nice Jewish

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

boys, by the way, I want, I want to thank Sir Brian of London for sending me a bunch of books. Yeah.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

She sent everybody books. Yeah. I think the two nice Jewish boys, I have a recommendation for a guest for their podcast,

Unknown

sinwar. Your days are numbered, pal. We're not gonna indict you. We're gonna kill you. Better kill you.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yeah, I was reading Lindsey

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Graham.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I was reading I just

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

wanted to point out that the genocidal maniacs in the Middle East are everywhere on both sides of these arguments. It's not just the Palestinians, one to kill all Jews, all the Jews. And I had a clip before. I don't know if I ever played it, but it was just somebody in the some one, a woman, talking about the only good Arab is a dead Arab. And it's just as these people are out of control on all sides, and it's just something we need to at least recognize

Adam CurryAdam Curry

and sad, because ultimately, the whole dispute is just over. Who makes better hummus?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

There is a there is a moment of that. That's the sad the best hummus ever had was in Jaffa. Yeah, there you go. Name Dropper. So

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I was reading the AP report about the large scale polio vaccinations, beginning in war ravaged Gaza after the first case in 25 years. You had a report on that the last show. But what was interesting is this one little line in this report from the Associated Press, the polio virus that triggered this latest outbreak is a mutated virus from an oral polio

vaccine. The oral polio vaccine contains weakened, live virus, and in very rare cases, that virus is shed by those who are vaccinated and can evolve into a new form capable of starting new epidemics. So in fact, this outbreak comes from previous vaccination could

Unknown

be, yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I mean, I'm pretty sure it is

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

out of control.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yeah, it's just the world we live in. Man, it's just the world we live in. Um, let me see. Well, let's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

see. I got some other stuff here that could be get gotten out of the way I would since we talked about immigration the United States and how great it is for us, let's talk about UK, because they have a different opinion about everything. Yeah, and this is the UK immigration update. Britain

Unknown

has rejected calls for an asylum treaty with the European Union. This a day after 12 migrants died trying to make a perilous ocean journey from France to England. NTDs INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT Malcolm Hudson has more for us. Britain has rejected proposals to be part of a European Union plan on asylum instead, Britain. Reiterated its own plans to tackle the criminal gangs behind the UK's illegal immigration

crisis. This comes after the French interior minister Gerard dominin called for a treaty following the deaths of 12 migrants who tried to cross the English Channel on Tuesday. I was

Adam CurryAdam Curry

a little confused by this story, because I also saw it, are they trying to make a treaty where they pay France more money to keep them, or it's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

hard, it's not made clear, but the British aren't going for any of these agreements with the EU regarding immigration, because they think they're taking the brunt of it, because people are going through Europe and saying, We don't want to be here. We want to go and it's explained In

Adam CurryAdam Curry

these clips, why only valve the French say, go ahead, go. Let's go. We go. Get in the boat. Yeah,

Unknown

okay, next Dominion's proposal could see migrants claim UK asylum from within the EU without needing to make the dangerous journey. But this is unlikely to happen. Other Prime Minister Keir Starmer has indicated he'd prefer to send illegal immigrants back to the EU despite the deaths of Tuesday. Wednesday morning saw several dozen more migrants board a crowded boat on the French coast of wimaru. French patrol boats watched as the flimsy boat labored through the

seas. The Coastal town's mayor Jean Luc Dubai is also calling for French and British officials to do more to stem the number of migrants attempting the journey. He asked, Why do they want to go to Britain? They can ask for asylum in France, but he said they want to go to Britain instead. So Dubai says something is drawing them to choose the UK over France. It echoes dominance remarks, dominant condemned the people smugglers, but he pointed

to what he sees as Britain's loosely regulated job market. He said migrants are attracted to Britain because they can often work without papers and are rarely deported. Yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

and the bankers love it.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, same as here.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Sure, it's the exact same issue we need. We need this cheap labor to come on in suppress wages across the country. Yes,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

suppressed wages is the key. Yeah. Well, here we go.

Unknown

Thomas said that in the first two months in power, the government supported over 400 people who have no right to be in Britain. However, UK Government figures show that in the last seven days alone, more than 2000 people have arrived in Britain on small boats. So far this year, nearly 22,000 people have made the dangerous journey. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

think it's more than that that seems low. That seems low. Follow up to Chris,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

we're comparing to our just walk over and take it Yes, although, if you recall, during the show era, there were these guys sneaking on the channel trains, yes, and going through the channel, which has got to be a better way to get into England. Yes,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

it's less wet. For sure, it's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

less wet net. That's a terrible crossing. Follow

Adam CurryAdam Curry

up on the femicide story we did so when a when a man kills a woman. Now the term is femicide. I mean, used to be homicide, and I have to call it femicide. And producer, Joe says, you know, I was listening to that. And he was, he was talking to an ER doctor from Detroit. And this ER doctor says, you know, I get patients in the ER multiple times a week who've been shot in the crotch men. And of course, the question was, well, is that because they're putting the gun in their

waistband? Says, Yeah, you do get that, but the vast majority is their female partner who shot them in the crotch, mainly for cheating.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

That's pretty gotta be a term for that.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, I don't know if there's a term for that, but I think tranicide is on deck. That's coming.

Unknown

Trane site.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Oh, speaking of Did you see the full Nashville shooters, unredacted journal that was released? I

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

haven't read it, but I am aware of the fact that it was released. Oh, oh, man, it's horrible. We had a policeman that was involved in this who had seen it when he reported to us that it's horrible, and when it first happened, he said they wouldn't release it because it was so gross. Well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

it's clearly them this. This kid was on SSRIs and is just going through just a roller coaster of emotions. It's really, it's really nuts. And now I'm wondering, we haven't heard about it yet, but this, this recent shooting in this Georgia school, you know, 14 year old kid you know. Do we know if, if this kid. Was on SSRIs.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

They never tell us anything. They just say it's because of guns.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Producer sir Lane Hart sent me a note. He says, I just want to let you know that a lot of things have happened in Georgia this year, the lake and Riley murder, illegal immigrant murder in Athens, Georgia, about an hour away from Fulton County. Fannie Willis. Now this this shooting in Georgia, and this was almost like a gift for the for Harris for the upcoming and I'm sure there'll be questions about it for the upcoming

debate. Then, of course, the FBI knew about this kid and talked to him, and oh, well, sorry, couldn't do anything, right? This is true. Seems, seems like almost a gift for the debate. You know what I mean? Not a good people see, not a gift for the dead kids. But you know what was going on with this kid? We don't know any we have a name, and

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

it was just the beginning of the school year. Wasn't like a build up. And he's from another area, so it's not like a build up of frustrations, you know that he's picked up halfway through the school year. This just started, yeah, so there was something else going on, again, not reported to us. We don't have a clue. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

do have a clip about this.

Unknown

Here, a community is in mourning after another unspeakable American Tragedy America day just before 10:30am Police say a 14 year old student carrying an AR style rifle opened fire at Appalachia High School, located just about an hour outside of Atlanta. The gunshots were so close to me, like my ears started ringing real bad. Like,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

by the way, this kid, this, this kid with the dreads was on every it was like there was one press conference, and this kid was the only one talking. I just found that interesting. Every single report I saw of this was this kid High School

Unknown

located just about an hour outside of Atlanta. The gunshots were so close to me, like my ears started ringing real bad, like the whole classroom was smoking. I had saw one of my classmates on the ground bleeding so bad, students and teachers barricaded themselves in classrooms. You could hear gunshots just ringing out to the school, and you're just wondering which one of those is going to be somebody that you're

like, best friends with, or somebody that you love. The suspected shooter, identified as Colt Gray, was taken into custody alive. Later, ruffling 1900 students were escorted out of the school and on to the football field, where they

reunited with their families. The FBI says the suspect and his father were both questioned by Jackson County Sheriff's officials last year after they received anonymous online tips about a school shooting threat, but at that point they did not have probable cause to make an arrest,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

to make an arrested keep an eye on him. Yeah, this also people think that this may be one of those cases where the parent, I guess there's only one, right? Arrested, arrested,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yeah, where was that other one was that was Oklahoma. It was

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

another,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I can't remember the name case fans. Time to expand

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

arrest parents. Rest these parents. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

think there's a big Bonanza going on now with advertising and native ads in the big pharmaceutical space on network television, because now, now it's on, we've, we've been, I've been following this, you know, GLP one drugs they want to get it on Medicare that keep popping up, you know, these, these very awkward and somewhat devastating side effects. Now they're just saying, Oh, it's not the GLP one. It could be

this one. It could be that one. And I think we're seeing a brand war now, who's going to discredit the other one as not being the good one? And CBS, CBS is in on this. Millions

Unknown

of Americans have turned to prescription medications to treat diabetes and lose weight these GLP one drugs better known by brand names like ozempic with govi and others, are very popular. According to Gallup, about 15 million US adults say they've used these injectable drugs to reduce their body weight,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

and notice we have Pfizer with a pill. So these are the injectables. Some say

Unknown

those drugs can have serious, negative health effects. Our senior investigative correspondent Anna Warner has been looking into that part of the story. And a good morning. Good morning. Tony, yeah, you know, many doctors say these, GLP one medications can offer dramatic benefits for patients, but some patients say they've had serious side effects, ranging from

nausea and vomiting to needing emergency surgery. Even doctors admit they can't always know who might experience these rare complications, like one woman from Pennsylvania, and

Adam CurryAdam Curry

then we get the one from Pennsylvania with a heart wrenching report.

Diabetes is rampant in my family, and I knew that that all plays with weight. Juanita Gantz struggled with her weight at age 62 she weighed 242 pounds, yet the most she could lose trying various diets, she says, was about 20 pounds. I almost felt defeated and humiliated. I mean, why couldn't I lose this weight? Then she saw ads for drugs, including ozempic.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

because of her diabetes risk, she was a good candidate for one of those drugs and prescribed her, we go V and later, ozempic, both GOP one drugs made by Novo Nordisk. How are you feeling? Were you I was feeling fine. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

This seems so obvious. It just me that this is an obvious hit job on Novo Nordisk and not on other manufacturers,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

while the ad where they play the jingle that seems to me to be just a promotion, one

drugs made by Novo Nordisk. How are you feeling? Were you I was feeling fine. I enjoyed the days that I didn't have to worry about my appetite. I didn't, have cravings. I just felt like I was doing something positive for myself. And then, but several months later, in october 2023 gantt's husband found her on the floor unconscious. This photo was taken by her daughter, a nurse at the hospital where Gant was taken. I had no idea what had happened to me. Doctors found

parts of her large intestine had died. It had to be removed. Then, while recovering from surgery, she went into cardiac arrest, prompting the hospital to call her daughter to warn her, her mother could die. This

Adam CurryAdam Curry

stuff will kill you. Underneath. Here is Gant. Wanted to

Unknown

show us how she lives now, with her colon gone, she has a bag called an ileostomy bag attached to her abdomen at all times to collect waste. I had

no warning that this was even a possibility. She's now suing drug maker Novo Nordisk, claiming its drug labels do not adequately warn patients and doctors about potentially serious side effects, including gastroparesis or stomach paralysis and bowel obstruction against attorney Parvin amino Roya always put a lot of resources into marketing the drug, hundreds of millions of dollars to expand the market, get new patients for the drug, but it hasn't spent that money on

warning patients the risk of gastroparesis, alias, small bowel obstruction, and the fact that these injuries can be severe, even if it's in a rare case. Novo Nordisk declined to do an on camera interview, but in a statement, said the known risks and benefits of the medicines are described in their FDA approved product labeling. The company wrote that the allegations in these lawsuits are without merit, and the company intends to vigorously defend against these claims, I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

don't know, but I'm thinking the pill is the way to go. You don't want these injectables from Novo Nordisk.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I Well, there's two things going on at the same time, and you have to acknowledge your attitude about one of them, which is that you scare people. They use it. This is the thing with the tobacco warnings, agreed. So that could be going on, because when they play the jingle, yeah, that is a trigger that is bothersome, yeah?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So people, you can stop emailing me saying these drugs are great, because I say stuff like, you know this. This was misunderstood. When I say you can eat whatever crap you want, people say it's not true because you lose your appetite. No, no. What I'm saying is you can continue to eat the crap food that most Americans certainly eat, processed junk, which has little health benefit, if anything, the adverse the

reverse is true. And then you get fat from all these horrible ingredients, and you get just, you just start to wither away in your lard. And But then here's a drug that will fix it. You have to fix the root problem. The root cause is, is not eating actual food. No one's talking about that. That's why you're still with us. You're still alive because you eat good food you cook for yourself.

Unknown

What?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Where's my Twinkies? We had a letter from a doctor who because we played that ad and all of side effects that were just horrible. You know, you break your bones, your head falls off, your this sort of thing. He says he'd been giving his prizes. These are all new to him. These, these side effects. He's now seeing nothing to indicate this, but he couldn't explain where they came from. But I have a couple more. I don't have them in this series of clips of more drugs with

screwball side effects. I mean, why would you take a pill that gives you tuberculosis? I mean, how does that even work? You notice this, or anal, more than one drug that they ought to be careful when you take this drug and get tuberculosis. What? Yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

anal leakage. No good. No good.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Um, I have a Trump clip, okay? Just to, just to balance things off, a little bit, we played clips of Harris yacking away, yeah, Trump. A little bit with the LEX budget. This, this is a classic. This is the mosquitoes. Yes, the

Unknown

Democrats who there was a mosquito. I don't want mosquitoes around me. I don't like mosquitoes. I don't like those mosquitoes. I never did. Okay. Speaking of mosquitoes, hello, Hillary, how are you doing?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

It's just this material.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Man, oh, man, oh man. You know, I've been following what's happening in Germany with the alternative feud Deutschland party right wingers, which is fantastic because, you know, Schultz came out and said, Hey, let's just

block them. Don't give them. Don't do whatever you do. Don't enter into a coalition with them, which seems kind of undemocratic, totally and then it turns out that they went back and checked the voting machines, and in order to have to sit in the minority, they actually were one vote short, which was caused by a computer glitch. Can you believe it?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Well, yeah, I can believe it.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

And I have one example. This is just an intro to a roundtable conversation, but throughout Europe, this is it's the same message over and over again, which I found just disturbing to hear. You'll you'll notice it right away.

Unknown

Germany is reckoning with the results of regional elections that have left many questioning whether German history is rearing its ugly head. For the first time since Nazi rule, right wing extremists have won a regional election in Germany in the state of syringe. This

Adam CurryAdam Curry

is what you hear all day long. For the first time since the Nazis, the far right, have, now, you know, garnered votes. So it's just this. They were hammering on this, far right, far right, far right. Now they just, they equated, equate it to Nazis. And it's a bunch of basically old German people who are sick of the immigration. Yeah,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

that's all it is. And they're nationalists. They want to protect the border and make it Germany for Germans and the devil forbid, and they're

Adam CurryAdam Curry

just being called Nazis. This is, this is not good. It's really It's so this just bad. Props to you, Mr. Dvorak, you are right. Thank you. Amazon was not going to stand for this team you and all these Chinese dropship companies that are practically given the products away, and Amazon PR and lobbyists are on the case.

Unknown

Federal regulators are now calling for an investigation into websites sheen and temu over potentially deadly baby and toddler products. Two Consumer Product Safety commissioners are behind the new calls, citing a recent article online in the information that makes accusations alleging the foreign owned bargain sides might be selling products that don't comply with us safety regulations. Timu and sheen have not commented on the article or the possible investigation. Yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

they're killing babies just we're going to ban them on that reason. What's happening to Tiktok, by the way, isn't that supposed to be over pretty soon? Aren't they supposed to be

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

key? I wish I had this clip. I'll get, I'll try to, maybe I go back and get this clip for Sunday, the Vivek was on hair or fraud Ingraham show, and he was mentioning that this idea, he was pushing the Free Speech notions, and he and he mentioned tick tock as being just basically a free speech vehicle. And she jumped all over him with, oh, no, you're wrong. This is dead at all. These guys are this Chinese spying on us?

And she went on off the deep end about this, and she said, called him ignorant for thinking this way, and all the rest of his quite unique issues really bent out of shape about Tiktok and how it should go. Well, there

Adam CurryAdam Curry

was a viral sensation that took place with Tiktok, which was a real head scratcher, and Tiktok is being blamed for it.

Unknown

Chase Bank is issuing a warning about a viral Tiktok trend. A number of videos show people depositing checks for large sums of money at Chase ATMs and then making a withdrawal for a smaller amount. Many believe they got free cash from those ATMs, but Chase Bank says that wasn't a glitch. It was check fraud a crime.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Did you see any of this in your tick tock? Travels. So there were just oodles, I said it oodles of videos. It's actually a good word, saying, Oh, look, if you deposit this check, you know, people putting in a $31,000 check, and then, right away, you could then in the you can deposit that into the ATM, and you could say, Okay, now I want $20,000 and they were showing, I don't know if it's true, they were showing the machine spitting out $20,000 and somehow these morons thought

that this was free money. People don't the youngins these days don't even understand the basics of banking.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

So the other thing is, the other thing is that's not it doesn't work that way. You can't necessarily put the money in and take it out immediately, and you can only take out $400 that's pretty good size checking account that has a lot of money in it. And you could trying to get more than 400 out, it doesn't spit out $20,000 in whatever bills. That's like, I didn't have that much money in the damn thing. That's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

why, when I heard tick tock, I'm like, Okay, this is an anti tick tock thing. What else could it be? What else could it be? It has to be something like that.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Well, they people, of course, you identified it before I did, which is that the anti tick tock stuff is not it's is done by the other social media companies. Yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

now they got it away. There you go. Sorry,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

let's work on that. I've I do have a tick tock Clip to play though, which I think is a good one. Okay, this might tick tock clip of the guy. This guy floats around, does a lot. He's on the street interviews, and he's got some woman on there who thinks Trump should have been shot. Talk,

Unknown

talk, tick tock. So Donald Trump was recently shot at one of his rallies. How do you feel about that? I wish he would've gotten shot in the forehead. Oh, this one, really? Yeah. I mean, he's basically like, teaching our

country, like, what communism is like, so what? So you wish death upon someone him, Yeah, unfortunately, I hate to say that, because I don't have hatred in my soul at all, but I think the way that our country has divided families, marriages, all of it about politics alone, like it all really started with him. So So do you think wishing someone death is not hateful? I would say, yeah, absolutely. I would say, obviously, I don't

wish death upon him. I wish that he would be in jail for the insurrection, which he should be okay, yeah, but you just said you wish that he would get hit in the forehead. Would have made things a little easier on our country, but actually really probably won it, because the proud boys would come out and start probably shooting other people. So the proud boys, yeah. Do you think that, like, 60% of the

country are the proud boys that support Trump? No, I think a lot of it is, you know, wealthy people that only care about the finances. And, you know, there's, there's a lot of ignorance, I think in this country, yeah, a lot of fake news. And a lot of just unhealthy like bias and political propaganda, I don't think we have a good. We're fought essentially as a country. We don't have a good we don't have a good runner at all. So,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yeah, this was, I saw this clip, and I didn't want to clip it, because I just like, but I'm glad you did. What is going on here? Is she has all the right information. She's just focused on the wrong party. It's, it's the wicked, evil Democrat party who is doing, and I don't like being partisan, but that is them. Everything she said is what you say, being yourself.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Hateful. Totally. I said that twice today, but I Yeah, 300% hate. I said 100%

Adam CurryAdam Curry

and, she's pretty much an NPC. And the clue, by the way, was those earthy, open shoe sandals she was wearing. Do you see a woman like that? You need to walk the other side, other direction. I'm gonna show

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I like that one. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

thought you'd like that one. I liked it too. All right, everybody, end of the show. That means it's time for the famous Tip of the day,

Unknown

green fast for you and me. You and me, just a tip with JCD and sometimes Adam, we

Adam CurryAdam Curry

are very excited as always, to hear about John's Tip of the Day. What do you have for us? John, okay,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

and this is a call back to the About two weeks ago I talked about a foaming device you could put in your hose, and you can also buy more expensive ones for your pressure washer. This was,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

this was to foam up your car. Lot of people were happy, including me. I like this foaming tip. Well,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

here's the follow up to it, which is, and this is, Mimi turned me on to this stuff. Now I had washed my car a few. Days before that tip, and this is like two weeks ago, for two and a half weeks at least, my car, and I've washed it before. I haven't washed. I washed. I do that. Not one speck of dust or dirt has stuck to the car for I've never seen anything like this for two and a half weeks and it, and I have to credit it. To wait a minute. Did

Adam CurryAdam Curry

it wash the wax off?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

No, the white. No. It's shiny. Or shiny. I have a I have a ceramic coated car. But and as shiny as can be, it's unbelievable, and it's all due to this product, which Mimi says, you know, you got to start looking at these guys. It's called Chemical Guys. Chemical Guys, and the one I used in this case was the watermelon snow foam auto wash, pH neutral. It was foaming agents, and it's got the list of ingredients. Is outrageous, but there's obviously something in here.

These guys know what they're doing for a washing products and cleaning products. And you can they are available on Amazon, but they're all over the place. But the company is Chemical Guys, and I would recommend looking at what they they're making. They obviously are chemists that are high order chemists that know what they're doing. And do you think they have a product? No idea how. Sorry, well, do

Adam CurryAdam Curry

you think they have a product that can clean metal roofs, like the kind we have in Texas, that

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

gets, I think if you got a hold of you could

Adam CurryAdam Curry

ask got all the tree sap on it. It's a dusk,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

quite possible. They do. They have a they guy was going over the products with the Jay, was looking at this stuff too, and I and it has stuff on it, like it has some chemicals in here that are kind of interesting, including benzene. Oh, okay, for a car wash is very unusual, but it does take off. The benzene itself will take off. What you're bitching about, it's not a healthy item. Benzene is, don't drink it. Wash your car. You know, I'm not drinking this

stuff. I'm sure if you drank this, this wash, you would be dead in in minutes. But I'm telling you, it's I'm still stunned the car at this point. I don't know how that mood there'd be months before I have to wash the car again. There's something in here. They're doing. They're doing something special. And so the company's Chemical Guys look for their products.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Check your local legislation, for products that may be banned in your state. There it is another great tip in the middle,

Unknown

guys, show us your tips. I'm sorry.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I'm sorry I got startled by that jingle. Thank you. Keep the tips coming. We show your tips every single show. We do it for you. That's right. And that concludes your no agenda show in its 16th year.
