John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Dogs and cats will watch TV. Adam curry.

Unknown

John C Dvorak, Sunday,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

October 6, 2024 this is your award winning Kim on Asian media assassination episode 1701.

Unknown

This is no agenda,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

beginning every 15 minutes and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas hill country here in FEMA Region, number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

and from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's too damned hot. I'm John C Dvorak buzzkill,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

oh yeah, yeah, I figured you'd be you'd be mad about that. You have a bad attitude today about things you got. You're mad because it's too hot and you have no air conditioning. Was 95 yesterday. That's what I mean. It's too hot for San Francisco. Too hot. It's too hot. Listen to that. Theremin. Ladies and gentlemen, we have achieved the pinnacle episode 1701 the same digits as the Starship Enterprise. Have you ever heard this version of what this Theremin lady? It's a

live habit. It's a live orchestra with a there man. I love it. It's fantastic.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I we used to talk about her. I can't remember her name. She's a famous Theremin artist,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

katika. Katika Eleni, I think, I think she's Eastern Bloc. Anyway, John, 1701 episodes, that's not bad.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

1701 Yeah, we could have done a promotion, but we'd get sued by Paramount. Yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

it's interesting you put that in the newsletter, because I hadn't even thought about it until like, you know, that's probably a good point if you use what one little bit of Star Trek imagery do, they come after you right away. Oh,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

yeah. Then they do it, because that's what they do. And you, if you're gonna do it, you have to do it all the time, so they do it with everybody.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So we should tell the artists up front, don't do any Star Trek.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

We will run anything that's got, even the Star Trek type logo.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

You can't even do that for, for like, parodies sake,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

there's not a parody Well, depending parodying,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

it depends on what the image looks like. I think that's very dependent upon the image.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

And they, I think they go after parodies too. Well, maybe not so much. That's beside the point. We usually don't use parodies necessarily in our art. No, well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

we use a lot of product parodies. I'm not I'm not arguing the

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

fact mockery is mock difference. Oh, okay,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

well, all right, mockery, that's good, man. I think we should just kick it off with some ABC special live coverage, very demure, very mindful.

Unknown

Helene has now become the deadliest mainland hurricane since Katrina back in 2005 almost 20 years ago, the storm's death toll is now at least 227 across several states, but many people are still unaccounted for, with their families desperate for answers, and the search for them is complicated. The full extent of the damage is still coming into focus, as communities there struggle to get basic supplies, and hundreds

of 1000s of people still remain without power. This morning, our Gio Benitez is leading our special coverage, southeast strong, and joins us now live from Marshall, North Carolina.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Oh yeah, this is the new thing, southeast strong. You see, you've got to say southeast strong. Misreport everything but southeast strong.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I think misreporting is the key to this. Yes, it seems from every side of the spectrum, yes. And I looked, there was one that came up. I think it was last night. This woman comes on talking about her, her elderly uncle and aunt who aren't elderly at all, and they wouldn't let it rescue because the helicopter pilot was told to stand down by the fire chief, yeah, and if I'm gonna arrest you, the fire chief said,

the fire chief's not a policeman. But okay, and it was like a three minute chopper ride from the rescue point, which was the side of a hill, to the town where the fire chief told him to stand down. Well, I don't understand what? And he wouldn't go back and pick this one guy up. He picked went back and picked up his son, which he dropped off, but then I don't know, it was only three minutes away. Why did he just fly him someplace else where this fire chief wasn't standing around

telling you not to do it? Well, I mean, these reports are just sketchy. Well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

that one I can, I can explain, because they between picking up the woman and leaving his son and the husband behind, they put a TFR in place, temporary flight restriction, and the only way to get there through that valley or that Gully, or whatever it was, was right through what the Feds had put up as a TFR. It doesn't mean that the fire chief can arrest anybody. Yeah, but I mean that, yeah, there was, I mean there was, there's also, this is so politicized, It's sickening. And

I loved everybody, like Lindsey Graham's a dick. Lindsey Graham doesn't care. Lindsey Graham is a horrible person. And they play

Unknown

this clip. You know, I've been going all over South Carolina, like most people hadn't slept much, but look what's going on in Israel. Our friends in Israel, surrounded by people

Adam CurryAdam Curry

that wanted doesn't care about anybody. There was, that's a good one. There was six, six minutes of him and Hannity talking about and and even Graham was going off on his print,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

by the way, his pronunciation of Israel, Israel is something to behold Israel. I can't even do it,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

so I, you know, I'm the last person to kind of defend Lindsey Graham, but in this case, that's for sure, that it was really it was so like Lindsey Graham didn't care about people. He was talking about it for six minutes and calling everybody out. But I went back, actually did a little bit of

historical work, and was checking some stuff. And, you know, there's a governor race going on in in North Carolina, and the lieutenant governor is running against the governor, as far as I understand, that Mark Robinson, he's the black, the big black guy that's always talking about, you know, hell, fire and damnation, very, very controversial guy, and it seems like the kind of trying to pin all of this stuff or the the the slow federal response on

Unknown

on him. Republican Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson says, even though he missed a vote to prove the state's emergency declaration before Helene, the vote didn't matter. Yeah, the lieutenant governor was the only elected official not to weigh in on Governor Roy Cooper's request ahead of the storm devastating North Carolina Capitol reporter Michael Hyland is joining us now with this story, and Michael the Lieutenant Governor pointed the

finger back at the governor. He talked about all this today as he was getting ready to take more supplies out to the western part of the state, which he's been working on coordinating with local leaders. In fact, he's been working with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office over the last several days, going back and forth from here to western North Carolina, helping to bring things like food and water and coordinating with local leaders with rescue

missions. He's posted on social media about meeting with people impacted, and said Governor Roy Cooper has not done enough to respond to the devastation. Records show, last week, as the storm was approaching, the governor reached out to Robinson and the other eight members of the Council of State, which is a group of statewide elected officials, to ask for their vote in support of declaring a state of emergency. Robinson was the only member not to vote. This happened to several members of

his staff were resigning from their jobs last week. Here's what he said when asked why he missed the vote. I don't even need to cover why, because here's the bottom line, my vote in that it would that vote was going to pass with or without my vote. So it was absolutely inconsequential that you know me voting. It didn't matter. Seems to me, Lieutenant Governor had one job prior to this

disaster, and vote so that we could get disaster relief. And the one thing he could have done he didn't do, a spokesman for Governor Cooper accused Robinson of engaging in online disinformation campaign about the storm response that he says causes confusion in areas with limited communications and

potentially puts lives at risk. Robinson also criticized Cooper for being in New York last week on Wednesday as the storm was approaching, Cooper's office says he was back in North Carolina Wednesday afternoon and coordinating the state's response ahead of time.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

It's it's so Oh, it's his fault. Well, if you got nine people and eight vote, then it's okay, but there's so much this.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Don't overlook Robinson's being smeared last week or the week before. That's the whole point. Being on the black pervs for teens, website team years ago, and a black Nazi thing and that whole thing. I mean, this guy, it was so bad that even Trump couldn't bring himself to invite him to one of the North Carolina rallies. So the guys, they've gone after this. He's a hot potato.

Unknown

He's a hot hot potato. Hot potato.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

He can still win.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Oh yeah, oh yeah, but, but, you know, people don't really understand how everything works in with emergency management. And I'm pretty sure that South South Carolina and North Carolina, they, you know, there were emergency workers, of course, what everyone saw a lot of, particularly on on social media, was the redneck, redneck army.

Unknown

It's the sound of solace. Help is on the way. We just kind of organized a private helicopter army to go in and survey the damage and get extract people and take supplies in and just create landing zones for everybody to have supply routes in and out. Matt McSwain is a pilot from Mount Holly, and says he received a call from Operation AirDrop, an organization now working to shore up relief and rescue efforts for folks trapped in North. Carolina's High Country.

We've had 37 helicopters today, volunteers. We've had people from Texas to Maine all the way across the East Coast just show up and like, how do we help? For folks who remember Katrina, there's like, the Cajun Navy. I feel very much like this is Cajun navy. Yeah, this is

redneck navy. Redneck Marine. So redneck Marines, McSwain took us back to the War Room, where we were allowed to take photos but not share any audio from inside, there's a station where they gather calls for help, often from social media posts, then triage the severity of the need and what supplies should go on the flight, and then attempt to find that person in distress. One of the biggest hurdles, McSwain says is not having spots to land. When we go to those GPS coordinates, we may not be able

to land there. It might be a mile, two miles on one side of the other, just because we can't get to that distress call Tuesday. He says they plan to help with another major concern, shuttling in communication devices for first responders. There's actual whole communities that are completely cut off from the grid. We tried to establish communications with the local, sheriff's department, the fire department. There is no communications.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So you know what I'm seeing? I don't know about you, but I just see all of this the government, you know best. No good. They're late. Everything's horrible. They're doing this on purpose. If it was, if it was a blue state, they'd be there in minutes, you know, on and on and on and on and and we, of course, we're still dealing with the, oh, it's, it's a, it's for the courts, it's for the lithium this.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

And let's, well, you can drop that part of it. But the blue state thing, it is a blue state. It's got a it's got a Democrat governor. A lot of these people are black, yeah, Asheville, North Carolina, one of the centers is, is a lesbian stronghold of the South. It's always referred to locally as she Ville. You take the A out of the name, it's not Asheville, she Ville. And so this is bull crap. Well, besides

Adam CurryAdam Curry

that, I like, is it hanlon's razor? I think it is hanlon's razor. Never attribute to malice, that which is adequately explained by incompetence.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, that's and also it doesn't help that the situation coming out of the White House, from FEMA and from Majorca, who said we're out of money, and then the denial that we're out of money, which I have two clips from John Pierre, this has been floating around. This is what she said in a press conferences kJP this week, categorically,

Unknown

no. Biden did not take FEMA relief money to use, to use on migrants,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

and then here she is in 2022.

Unknown

FEMA Regional Administrators have been meeting with city officials on site to coordinate, to coordinate, available federal support from FEMA and other federal agencies. Funding is also available through FEMA emergency food and shelter program to eligible local governments and not for non for profit organizations upon request to support humanitarian relief for migrants.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, exactly. And this is kind of my point, our government is, and that's all governments, our government body, which people, somehow, in my lifetime, have come to like, oh, something's wrong. The cavalry's coming. Yeah, the Redneck Marine Corps is coming. Your neighbors are coming. People who, regardless of your who you are, your background or your gender, sexuality, your religion, race, doesn't matter,

your neighbors were coming. But stop waiting for the government, because our government, that's what our government is, an administrative state filled with pencil pushes and PowerPoints seriously. And

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

in 89 it was pointed out, like around here in the Bay Area where he had the 89 Loma Prieta earthquake and the freeway collapsed. It was just all locals going out and rescuing people. There was you didn't there was no time to wait the government. Screw the government. You got to go out and do what you do. And there's all kinds of local heroes that pull people out of cars, under a crush, to overpass and all the rest. And it was all just people doing what you could do to help your neighbor.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

But really, we need to just come to grips with the fact that all government, especially state and federal emergency, are completely incompetent. They have forgotten and forsaken their their mission. You know, media, of course, can't even cover this because, oh, don't let anybody catch on, specifically North Carolina, I remember when it came to gender neutral bathrooms. We had a lot to say, lot going on. That was during Obama,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

and it was mostly in North Carolina, yes,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

but when the rubber really meets the road, they have no clue on how to operate. And you know, people are even saying, you know, do you really want FEMA? Because here's. Corrupt and nasty. The system is, you know, people like yo,

they're stopping aid. They're not letting us get through no because if you the minute FEMA comes into your state, they have their approved, their approved suppliers, you know, which may be Walmart or whoever, I don't know, they have their approved, approved suppliers, and you are they, they cannot, by agreement, let any other supplies come in, because it's, it's like, oh, money grab. Just like where the money originally went to, for, you know, for asylum seekers, migrants, the newcomers that you

know, that didn't even go to the government. Just went straight to nonprofits, the nonprofits where the executive director makes seven, $800,000 a year. That's your problem. You've got to they've got to stop thinking that the government is going to do anything for you. And do you really want them in? Here's an example of why you might not want them in. Are they

Unknown

still not there anywhere. What are

Adam CurryAdam Curry

you seeing from FEMA in the federal and the federal response, if any? I

Unknown

mean, they're present. They're in the way. They are directly interrupting our ability to conduct missions and operations. And I'm not going to disparage anybody, because we are trying to work with in partner relationships, both government and non government entities within state and federal and county, you know, we, I went to put a couple of people into a hotel last night, and I they have a security guard at the hotel. He said, Oh, we're so sorry. The entire hotel has

been booked for federal employees. And it's like, no, I have people that would just pull it out of a mountain that are living out in the hills, and there's not a place for me to put them, because we have federal employees that are staying the hotel. I slept in this white car last night. I smell like foot and death right now, as does every single person our team. Not a single one of us slept. We got done maybe at three o'clock. The moment the sun was up. We could fly

helicopters again. We were back in the air, and we have not stopped. And I was like, on the fence about trying to get on this program or not. I want people to understand how incredible this organization is, save our allies and all the work that all of these volunteers are doing. But people, this is biblical level devastation. Yeah, this is apocalyptic. The things that we see out there,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yeah, just you can't count on you stop counting on your government. Then that's what that's very tiring to see everybody running around like, oh, and all political, no good. I mean, even the the kJP clips, I mean, it's all being politicized. Well, there's 1000s of dead people. It's just, it's, it's the good side of who we are as Americans and the bad side. And by the way, this is not a once in a once, ever occurrence.

You know, I looked into this is the Tennessee Valley. We have the Tennessee Valley Authority, which was brought in initially to also work with, you know, create dams and make sure that there was not too much flooding. You know, the big one was 1916 when this happened, this exact same scenario happened, and the city of Asheville was gone. I think the water level is only a few feet below what it was now. This was quite incredible, the

amount of water. And then around 19, I think 1971 there was, yes, there was a project to create a lake which was going to be called, hmm, I'm trying to think what it was going to be called. The French Broad River valleys. They wanted to make a lake. The Tennessee Valley Authority wanted to, which would probably have stopped this from happening in Asheville. But back then, there was this huge backlash, because there were 60 families who were there and they didn't want, you know, to become part

of the lake. Well, okay, so you all made a decision, and here you go. That said these hurricanes coming out of the Gulf, particularly the one now supposedly headed towards Florida. Tina lived in Florida for over 15 years. She said she cannot remember a time when a hurricane was about to hit all of Florida that came out of the Gulf. Can you,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I don't keep track of that sort of thing. I it doesn't seem like it would be that unusual, Yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

apparently it is. It is because you have this hurricane Katrina came out of the Gulf, yeah, but that didn't hit Florida. Well, Florida got affected, yeah? Not, not like this.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

And there was that one just a couple of years ago that that hurricane they went through Tampa,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

which one was that it

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

was the one that hit that one town really bad, and they made a big fuss about it. And Tampa was hit pretty hard, and that came out of the Gulf were the fish

Adam CurryAdam Curry

flopping in the street. They're always, always, yeah. Yeah. Well, I haven't heard much climate change yet, although I'm sure it's coming, and we're all crazy. Climate change is doing this. Somebody brought

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

up the fact that a lot of this moisture may have been caused by a underwater volcano, some, some like a year 22 I think, and put a bunch of moisture in the air that had to come out eventually. Well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

you know, there's plenty of government projects that go way back that that have tried to steer hurricanes. I think that it was in like 1963 or something, when was, I was Eisenhower president? No, that was Kennedy. No,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Kennedy must

Adam CurryAdam Curry

have been earlier and and so they would drop silver iodine into the into the hurricane iodide. They would drop that into the hurricane and then they could steer it. But it also, of course, created an enormous amount of water, which is what we saw here.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

So you know, how would that mechanism work, steering it with silver.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I'm just telling you what, what? What the report was that somehow, by I

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

remembered the time, and say probably the 60s or 70s, where they said, Well, if it's really bad, we can drop a nuke on this thing and knock it out.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

How can we ever? I've heard it on this show from you. I've never, I don't think they ever. They should try it. Man, come on, give it a shot. Of course, the real issue at hand is this,

Unknown

as western North Carolina recovers from devastating flood damage following Hurricane Helene, election officials are scrambling to prepare for early voting. Yeah, North Carolina is, of course, a key swing state that could very well decide next month's presidential election. Steve Harrison from member station WFA in Charlotte, has been covering this and joins us now. Hey, Steve, Hey, Scott. Early voting begins in North Carolina on october 17, a little

more than two weeks from today. Do state elections officials think they'll be ready? Yeah. I mean, they're confident it will begin on time in all counties, but they can't really say what voting will look like. As of this morning, there's still 10 county elections board offices that haven't reopened. That means they can't process new registrations, they can't send out or receive mail ballots. I mean, you have to imagine that that voting sites were just were just overwhelmed by the

flooding. How bad is the damage? Are they unusable? Yes. Karen Brinson Bell, the executive director of the state board of elections, said some of those voting sites may be impossible to reach for now, at least because of mudslides and downed trees and in some cases, roads may be completely washed away. Brinson Bell said the state has had experience running elections after hurricanes, after Hurricane Dorian hit North Carolina in 2019 she said the board used a tent and trailers

for voting in Hyde County, which is on the coast. And that may happen again. The state hopes to know by the end of this week what voting sites can be used and which ones can't.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

We'll have to see how that affects this important swing state.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Well, I have a serious eclipse on voting. If you're going to talk about voting, early voting in particular, yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I would just say I think it's great what the citizens of North Carolina have done. And, of course, also in Florida, grousing. But the grousing, you know, I had boots on the ground, RVG, truth on the X I know, is ombre. And this guy, he goes everywhere. He's, you know, he was at the border for months, and then always he just drives up and he's and then he's in North Carolina, and he says, you know, the people are actually getting it together. And if anything, the social all

the social media stuff, all of it. He says, sucks. It sucks for the people there. Well,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I would say, also I think the media coverage sucks too.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

It's completely, I mean, I was texting which

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

was trying to dissensational as usual. Gee, I'm shocked, shocked that they're sensationalizing the news. What's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

interesting, though, is that in Europe, no one even knows this is happening. It's almost not covered, like, Yeah, whatever this. We've seen

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

some reports, but it's covered like, straight, like, straight news, just a mention, yeah. You know, there's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

much more important things, you know, like Iran and Ukraine and,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

oh, money, money. Well, that everyone

Adam CurryAdam Curry

has a universally, people have an issue with all the money being spent on other countries. I think that that's now almost a bipartisan issue or nonpartisan.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Let's play these clips. This is early voting. This all from NPR. It's a long report. I got through, I think four clips here. They're not long, but this is about early voting, and there's a bunch of subtle propaganda in here, as usual as you would expect from NPR,

Unknown

elitist voices of America. This is NPR. You. Or PBS, Election Day is a month away, and early voting is already happening. More than a million votes have already been cast, with more coming every day. Miles parks is our voting correspondent. He covers the topic 365 days a year. What a

Adam CurryAdam Curry

voting correspondent who has Yeah,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

and did you hear what he does? He covers the topic 300 every day, every

Unknown

day of the year, every year, but right now is the moment when all of the storylines he's following rise to the top of everyone else's minds as well. That is especially true given how much the attempt to overturn the 2020, presidential election results hangs over everything in this contest. So give it all that we brought miles on to talk to us about what he is focusing on. Hey miles, Hey Scott. Hey Scott. Hey miles, Hey Scott. Let's start with the lawsuits, because many are already being

filed. What do we need to know? Yeah, so there's kind of two major buckets. I think voters can kind of monitor lawsuits over the next couple of weeks. One is about how people actually be casting ballots. The two big kind of things we're watching that still have yet to be

determined. One is in Pennsylvania, big battleground state, as you know, well, there's a big legal battle brewing over when people turn in a mail ballot and there's some sort of mistake on it, whether that's they didn't put in the right envelope or put the wrong date on it, whether those ballots should count. Republicans argue they should not. Democrats argue they should in Georgia, we're monitoring lawsuits related to the administration the actual

counting of ballots. Listeners are probably familiar. The Georgia elections board has passed a number of new rules in recent weeks, and there's a bunch of litigation deciding whether those new rules should stand.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Oh yeah, this is all pro Trump changes, if I recall correctly. So that, of course,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

no, no.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I thought the

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Georgia thing is, what's pro Trump about Georgia? And they never say this. They never tell you any of this. They just said, well, blah, blah, blah.

Unknown

They don't mention what it is.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

They never say what it is. But the Georgia thing is, they're going to hand count all the ballots to make sure that the machine count matches, right? That would be anything pro Trump

Adam CurryAdam Curry

because that was the because Republicans hate the the machines,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

yeah, let's start D bold.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, no, yeah. Okay,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

so the other, which is the doesn't do them anymore. Of course, those are the George Bush machines. The other the other thing about the ballot being in the wrong envelope. What have you ever mailed in and it comes with an envelope? Wow, that just doesn't make any sense. That would be what you stuff into some rando envelope. I don't know. You know. Okay,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

hold on before you continue just about this specifically, Tina went to see that the new D'souza movie, which is vindicating Trump. Yeah, Dinesh D'Souza, where

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

do you go see a movie like that? It's in the

Adam CurryAdam Curry

theater. She, she and her and her friend went, actually in the theater. She and her friend were the only two,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

well, in theater. Granted, it

Adam CurryAdam Curry

was 1130 in the morning, but yeah, still vindicating Trump. And she said, she said, Of course, it's a complete, you know, it's all pro Trump, pro Trump. But what de Souza apparently shows there is how you can for like 35 bucks, you can buy the voter roll, and then you can just print all the ballots you want. You know, it's, it's very our voting

system is very simplistic. It seems rather easy to Jack around with, and if you're first before you know before the actual person gets to the ballot, and it's like, hey, wait a minute, you already voted, then that's that's just one of the many ways to cheat. It's no one trusts this anymore.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

It's because it's poorly operated. No kidding, it's been taken. Is Everyone's been so lax about assuming it's fine that they just let it slide it. This is ridiculous. Well, remember,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

the term is no widespread fraud. Oh,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

that's coming in these clips. Okay, okay, so

Unknown

that's bucket one, the process one, itself. What about the second? The second is, we've seen a bunch of lawsuits. This happened in 2020, as well. The Republicans have been filing a number of lawsuits that legal experts basically say have no shot at succeeding, but just serve to kind of inject doubts about the process. These are generally been lawsuits focusing on the idea of non citizens voting in American elections. This is not an issue that there is evidence has ever happened in anything but

microscopic numbers. But in a number of states, we've seen lawsuits from Republicans alleging that it is happening or could happen. Let's talk more about that, because this is something you've reported on a lot. This narrative of non citizens casting ballots, there's been a pivot from whether it's Donald Trump, Elon Musk, a number of prominent figures on the far right, to start talking over the last few months about non citizens voting

in this election. And it seems to be working. We had a poll out from NPR, PBS, news, Marist College, out this week that found that nine in 10 Republicans are concerned that non citizens. Will vote in this elections process, which you can kind of see down the road, how this could make it an effective narrative should trump lose, that he could focus on to try to overturn this election.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Here we go again. There's, there's some truth to that. You know, I have a 38 second clip. You can I insert that? Yeah, I think so. This is from Arizona.

Unknown

This new data set, as they're calling it, brings the total number of people impacted to 218,000 instead of the 98,000 we first reported. These people were mistakenly marked as having provided documentary proof of citizenship, and Arizona voter registration database now has correctly flagged the impacted individuals. Election officials say they will contact the affected Arizonans with information regarding their status after the general election. That means for now,

the Arizona Supreme Court's ruling is going to stay. That impacted voters, that includes all of them, will still be able to vote. You get

Adam CurryAdam Curry

to vote, no problem. They go back later. Is this going to be the big dispute? Well, it was 218,000 we got to call every single one of them asked for the ID. Man, yeah, and we still can't put someone on the moon. What good are we? I'm very down on all this,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

the and the idea that, I mean the way they downplay the possibility of some, I mean in Cal, like here, I've said it before, I go to vote, I go in person. I have voted by mail to I do both. But I went person, you

Adam CurryAdam Curry

vote twice. You vote twice.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I could, you say, she

Adam CurryAdam Curry

said, I do both. So I'm just, I could okay,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

but I'd only do one, and California, it doesn't make any difference. So I wanted to go in to use the machines so I could see what was going on with the machines. Yeah, you talked about this. Yes, I did. Made a long talk about it, and it just but I noticed they never asked for ID. Never, never, have ever asked for ID. It's not as though they're asking for ID. And now it's illegal in California to ask for ID, although you have to, you have to ask for ID for liquor and all

the rest of it. But no, no voting. Forget it. No, it's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

not it's not that important. It's just not that important. It's harder to get out of jury duty, which is the other side of voting, as far as I'm concerned. Like, oh man, I want to get out of your jury duty. Don't need an ID to vote.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

So here we go three.

Unknown

Let's talk about another impact over the ongoing rhetoric around the 2020, election, the ongoing claims that Trump won the election, which, again, he did not. He lost the election, but we have seen this real uptick in harassment and threats to local election officials. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

have not actually seen any of this. Is there an actual report of someone being threatened?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

There have been reports in it stems from the 2020 election and the Georgia people, all right, who were who were threatened after the fact, and I don't know that it's happening, but

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I haven't seen any reports of someone saying that guy threatened me. You know, this is just, this is rhetoric here. This is rhetoric,

Unknown

right? And a lot of time talking to what are you hearing from them in terms of the threats coming in and how they're preparing for a really tense few weeks. There's a lot of nervousness. And when I talk to election officials the last couple weeks, I think where's the interview the reason is going back to this poll I mentioned a second ago.

The poll found that a majority of Americans right now are concerned that voter fraud is going to occur in this 2024, election, even though there's never been evidence of widespread or systematic fraud, widespread or systematic fraud in American elections, especially recently,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

you don't need widespread fraud. You only need a couple of states Exactly. That's the beauty of that's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

the that's the point of saying white, yeah, you don't have widespread you have targeted, yeah, that exactly. It's Can you swap out the word widespread for targeted fraud? They won't do it,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yeah? Because that's all you need with the electoral college. That's how it works. You need a couple targeted fraud. Yeah? And one way to do that, and Arizona,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

by the way, was one of the targets. And yes, it's fairly obvious. It keeps coming up. Information keeps coming to light. And who

Adam CurryAdam Curry

and who targeted? Who was the first to target Arizona? Fox News. They called Arizona when there was 1% of the votes were in Fox News. That's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

a good point. Yeah, Fox News, definitely and and

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I would pay attention to Fox News this time around as well. These people are the media chooses who wins in our country. I'm staking my reputation on it. Yeah,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

all right. Last clip

Unknown

the fact that election officials have spent the last four years trying to educate voters. All the myriad security processes they have in place that make it so fraud is so rare and especially hard to pull off at like a statewide or a

Adam CurryAdam Curry

federal race, right? What's with all the laughters, bro,

Unknown

that make it so fraud is so rare and especially hard to pull off at like a statewide or a federal race, right? They've been trying to educate those right really clear. It's made a dent because Donald Trump and other Republicans have continued hammering this issue, though, I will say election officials are optimistic that they're in a better position to

respond to some of those doubts this time around. Specifically, they're working closer than they ever have before with law enforcement, whether that's around polling places or certifications, thinking about after the election. And so I think election officials are a little bit dejected at the tone and tenor in which some voters are thinking about the election this time around, but they're feeling definitely better prepared for it. Yeah, what are you anticipating when it comes to how people cast

their votes? Are you anticipating less early voting, mail in, voting the 2020, or what? Well, based on the conversations I've had, both with experts and some poll results that we've seen, it seems like the trend towards early voting is continuing. If you actually zoom out and look at like, think about in like, 2000 or 2004 almost all voters. More than 80% of voters, cast their ballot in person on

election day, right? Whereas now there is the expectation that the majority of voters will vote early in this election, whether that's early in person or by mail. It is not a kind of height of the pandemic moment. So we are definitely going to see less mail voting than we saw in 2020 but I think the majority of votes in this election cycle, probably in the 55 to 60% range, are going to be cast early this time.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Two Two things that have to be pointed out, yes, and I didn't. I could have gotten gone back and found the super clip of this, but there was a super clip floating around from 2016 where all the Democrats are talking about a fraudulent vote, and Trump was not the, not my president. He got in, you know, and Hillary was the leader of the gang of this, oh, we got gypped, you know, as a fraud. It was a fake. It was a phony. So the Democrats are just as guilty of this

complaining as anybody. And but they seem to go all of a sudden, that seems to have disappeared. And then the other thing is, the Democrats, once again, back in, I don't know, the 80s, maybe the 70s, they put together a big panel showing how, a study group showing how mail in ballots are so easy to phony up and to, you know, to make the Election fraudulent. And there's all, mostly Democrats on this panel. And it and it was, it came out, and they used to talk about this, this, this, this discuss.

This was discussed during the 2016 election, when they thought Trump stole the election, and now that's not being discussed anymore either. These guys are terrible at journalism.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

No, they're doing they're fantastic. They're doing their actual job to to make the donors to NPR happy.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Well, that brings me you, I didn't want to do this, yeah, okay, but that brings me to the two clips. Okay, you're up, actually three clips, but there's just two main ones, which is the ambush clips. And I took this from Megyn Kelly's show.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Go, go. Wow, you're watching Megyn Kelly now. Oh,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

this. It was the clips that showed up, and I it was, since I was stealing the clips from her show, I might as well let, let her also introduce the clips. And these are some James O'Keefe found some had is one of his women. You've

Adam CurryAdam Curry

seen this this, by the way, this is a she is. This is the best example of the culture war economy. This is how we all make money. Now, we've got to be all outraged. We got undercover video We're all mad about is crazy. It

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

is pretty funny in that regard, if you from that perspective, definitely. Yeah. But this poor doofus sounds pretty. I guess he's O'Keefe. Got a couple of

Adam CurryAdam Curry

women on the Oh, yeah, of course. Honey potting. These

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

guys, right? Honey pots is what we used to call it, the business. It's beautiful, yes. And so they got this poor sucker from MSNBC, one of the producers. These are the guys, if you do any hits on any of these shows, if you're in that, if you're doing spots, it's the producers who call you. They're the ones who booked you. They do all the work

Adam CurryAdam Curry

and do the pre interview and make sure that you know exactly what you're going to say, so they know it. So they can do the lead in, they can time it perfectly, and you're good to go.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah. And then so they can also write the copy for the news reader, yeah, so they get everything works smoothly. It's its way. It's just the way it is. And so here's some dumb schlub who's named by Megan in the second clip, getting Honey potted into stupidity. All knew

Unknown

this about MSNBC, but it's still interesting to hear a producer at the network. Admit it, saying the following. Watch, do you feel like MSNBC is doing enough to help the Harris campaign? I mean, they're doing all they can, which is why amplify her message? What? What her message of the day is, is their message of the day. This hammers home the point that I'm making, that this news network is indistinguishable from the party. Are they just a Democratic Party's mouthpiece? Exactly. MSNBC is

the Democratic Party's mouthpiece. He

Adam CurryAdam Curry

kind of says it a bit like with disdain, like he's he even finds it somewhat disgusting. Or am I mishearing that?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I, you know, I he's got a smile on his face, so I'm not sure that's true. All right? Well, in audio, sticky smiling at her, and he's going in line, and she's asking leading questions. Of some you're on a date. Hey, some girls leading you on with these sorts of what are you creating questions? How

Adam CurryAdam Curry

hard up for a date are you that you're gonna let this shutting up? Come on, you don't choose? Oh, man, yes, crazy, yeah,

Unknown

so it's MSNBC, just like doing whatever it takes to get his home a real update. She's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

even asking the questions like an interviewer. How can this guy not know what's going on? Yes,

Unknown

they've made their viewers dumber over the years. Viewers get mad at the guests or the hosts, if the host were to criticize Democrats because they're so brainwashed. Yes, and to think, you know, the Democratic Party can do no wrong, not that they can't do any wrong. It's maybe they can do wrong. I just don't want to hear about it. Don't say it out loud, because if you say it out loud, it helps Trump. I think brainwashing and dumbing down, it's bad, aggressive. I get it helps Trump. You

Adam CurryAdam Curry

know, what I think I'm hearing from him is that he finds it all despicable. He probably thinks Kamala Harris is dumb, but the brainwashing has taken place in him that, oh, no, Trump's gonna get rid of the Constitution. He's gonna get rid of our democracy. I think that's what I'm hearing. You know, it's like, you know, he's going to rip up the Constitution on day one. He's going to be a dictator from day one, all of these things has seeped into his brain, and he just believes it. Yeah,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

it could be. I mean, I'm not sure he's talking too much about it. And you know, if you're going to be sneaky, like this guy, or like the whole network. I mean, it's the kind of thing you'd be a little more I think,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

well, it's not sneaky. Then again, wait,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

wait, let me correct myself. It's possible that they're not being, you know, they are brainwashing and dumbing down their pocket, but they think they're doing it for a good cause, for

Adam CurryAdam Curry

America, yeah, from America. From

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

America, yeah, yeah. I can. I can, yeah, I can't argue against that possibility, which has always been my argument, which is that sincerity on the part of these people is quite high,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

but they are also, they are, by extension, part of the entire administrative state. They also feel like they're part of it. They're in DC, they're going to the same parties. They're hanging out with the same people. They have a little bit of a little bit of power because, oh, I'm on TV, you know, oh, you're important from time to time. Can give me your

cell number. I can give you a call, you know, when I hear something that, you know, of course, I'm going to be leaking on purposely to you, but, you know, it might be inside track. It make you look good. You know, they're, they're a part of that system. The entire This is, what is the Is it 4 million people that work for the, for the, for all administrative agencies?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I think it's higher than that. Yeah. So

Adam CurryAdam Curry

it's, it's to coin a mike Ben's phrase, it's the blob, and they are part of the blob, and they've and they feel that they're an important part of it. So this has nothing to do with journalism. No, I'm sorry it does. This is what they're taught in Journalism School,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Jesus nowadays. JC, so, yes, yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

this is and look at the professor, Jeff Jarvis. No, not Jeff Jarvis, the other guy, who's the that, who's the, ah, who's the professor, who, who's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

rosin. Rosen,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yeah, Jay Rosen,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Jay Rosen, well, Jarvis and Rosen are very similar. I think Jarvis has been same guy. I don't know if he's what, they're the same guy, basically, yes, the same basis, basically the same guy.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

And, you know, and they're out there teaching and also yelling because I followed them, I think they're on Mastodon, like the New York Times, dude, they put this Trump travesty on page nine

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

once in a while. It's knee jerk, yeah, well, they're

Adam CurryAdam Curry

disappointed in the New York Times because the New York Times didn't caught them out.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Then there must be reasons. There's a very strong movement amongst supposed journalists of Slant the news, and they talk about it openly. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

have a after you're done with these. MSM, yeah, because. The

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

rest of this is Megan and her and her friend that's that's on the show, mocking the whole thing. And I kept these two clips because I thought it was good enough that it would be worth a listen. Poor basil Hamden,

Unknown

pro tip, when your date sounds more like the Inquisitor at a deposition and has her handbag pointed at you just ask you to speak into it a note of caution before you, before you offer your unvarnished It was unbelievable. Like, yeah, would you say yes, I would.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Hey, we should, you know, can we do Pro Tip of the day we get on that train, pro tip and don't drink, like,

Unknown

don't get so, you know, fuzzy that you're sort of like spouting proudly what you're doing. I mean, my favorite part of that clip Megan is when he says, We're dumbing our audience down. Like this is the viewership that likes to feel like they're so high on their own supply of, like, moral self righteousness. Uh, Pot, kettle black, hello, and that every political position that's espoused by this network, that's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

exactly what Megyn Kelly does, is exactly the same thing, only she's a podcaster, only

Unknown

true and correct one, and he's basically saying, we've we've done them down, and we've brainwashed them, and it's good for us. And it's, you know, like, let's just not get Trump elected. It's and the way he said, like he's smiling, he's like, he thinks it's funny. He's kind of proud of it. It seems like, I mean it like I could watch that thing on a loop. It's amazing.

This is all I could think of a couple of months ago when they were all indignant about Ronna McDaniel being hired as a contributor after she left the RNC, and they acted like the devil himself had been under contract now to MS, they all went on the air trying to get her fired, which was ultimately successful, talking about themselves and their network like they were honest, Abe themselves. They, you know, like George Washington, we cannot tell a lie. Here at MSNBC, we

could not possibly hire someone who lies from pay. Remember, we cut this sound bite and I resurrected here.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

You know the thing, the thing that gets me is that in this culture war economy, Megyn Kelly on the front lines, if, she would talk about something else, anything but, but playing, you know, MSNBC clips and the outrage, then no one would see it. It's because of

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

this. Yes, this about, Is this, like log rolling? Yes, it's like, it's, it's called modeling post modern versus modern of log rolling. It is, yeah, because it's like, Hey, you want go watch MSNBC. Wait a minute. What? What?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yeah, exactly. Oh, wait, you don't have to. I'll play a clip.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

So here's the clip she plays, which I thought was a good clip, because it was we played this clip before. But it's, I like it, because the very last thing that's said on the clip is it makes it worth playing again.

Unknown

I want to associate myself with all my colleagues, both at MSNBC and at NBC News, who have voiced loud and principled objections to our company putting on the payroll, someone who hasn't just attacked us as journalists, but someone who is part of an ongoing project to get rid of our system of government. We weren't asked our opinion of the hiring, but if we were, we would have strongly objected to it when NBC made the decision to give her NBC News's credibility,

you got to ask yourself, what does she bring? NBC News, we welcome Republican. I wish more Republican. I want Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney to get right here and come talk to me.

The reality is, this isn't a difference of opinion. She literally backed an illegal scheme to steal an election in the state of Michigan, and our democracy is in danger because of the lies that people like Ronna McDaniel have pushed on this country, not just they can do that on our airwaves, but if they can do that as one of us carrying employees of NBC News, hey, contributors to our sacred airwaves? Oh,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yeah, that was

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

we did airway airwaves.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

And of course, we're also participating in this scandalous behavior,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

yeah, no, we're log rolling.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

We are log rolling now. We

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

don't get any rollback. They don't plug us. There's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

no backlinks, man, no ping backs, no ping backs. I

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

should probably stop doing these clips, so

Adam CurryAdam Curry

the turn Yes. Well, if we stop doing these clips, there'd be no show,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

except we know. We just know those clips. I just played those three clips of Megan, the guy, and we could, if I took those out of the show, there would still be a

Adam CurryAdam Curry

show. Yeah, okay, it would be three minutes shorter.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

It'd be three minutes shorter. It's about the difference. So here's, it's probably good.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Here's the term, here's the term, the term, and just as we were talking about with Rosen and Jarvis, the term is, it's. Sane washing? Yes, we have a term over here at CNN, there's a

Unknown

new word being used in this campaign, or at least new to me, sane washing. And that's the notion that the media actually, contrary to what Brian said, the media is cleaning up some of Trump's more outlandish remarks. For instance, here's Trump this week talking about a person in this country illegally who killed someone.

She murdered him. In my opinion, Kamala murdered him just like she did, just like she had a gun in her hand, but he but here was the AP headline about the speech Trump rallies in Wisconsin's critical Democratic stronghold ahead of the vice presidential debate, no mention of Trump accusing his opponent, Vice President Harris, of, in effect, murder.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Oh no,

Unknown

what?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Oh yeah, yeah, that

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

it now you got you bordering on making a that, that clip. Well, there's another we should talk about insane. This should be insane washing.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Is the second half is the

Unknown

media sanewashing Some of Trump's comments, I think it is the role of the media to report on what happens. I do not think it is the role of the media to tell people how they should feel about it. And I think right now, there is a lot of befuddlement on the part of people don't like Donald Trump. Anybody could possibly want to see Donald Trump back in the

White House. And so they're looking for reasons to say, Well, gosh, maybe it's just that the 47% of America that likes Donald Trump and wants to vote for him again is just they've become immune to the idea that he's crazy and it's the media's fault. But it is really that a lot of Americans have just decided, You know what, I'm willing to take the good with the bad, and for them, they think no amount of crazy is too much.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

So wait so, so Trump, in his speech, delivers what's more or less a metaphor by making the claim that Kamala is the murderer for letting a murderer murder. Yeah, it was

Adam CurryAdam Curry

very similar, more or less, Trump incited an insurrection kind of the same thing. Yeah.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

So, so that is, somehow, that should be report. I don't understand what they're trying to tell us here. They're

Adam CurryAdam Curry

trying to get a word into the dictionary so they can say, Well, we did it. Has word of the year. Well,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

by the way, that's a very important thing. I've always this been one of my is that one of your goals? Yeah, everybody, everyone who's ever been a writer, always has that. Well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

we might, we just might get douchebag, oh, a douchebags already in there bags and is and is there any word that we, that we can get, we can promote to get into the

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

dictionary. Have to look new. We have the top my head, like,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

you know, we've got some, we got some. So sane wash this. Trump did a return to Butler, Pennsylvania, big crowd. What I could see, I don't know how many people, a big crowd. It was just a couple of clips showing it was a big crowd. It was big crowd. And brings out Elon Musk, yeah, who is jumping around like a like a maniac. It's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

like a spaz.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Like, like a spaz. And here was the core of what he said for tech billionaire

Unknown

Elon Musk, it was the first appearance at a Trump rally. He urged listeners to tell everyone they knew to register to vote and framed the election as a last stand for American democracy. I'm dark mega

Adam CurryAdam Curry

What's this dark Maga nonsense?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I think. What is that? I don't know if he said dark or Darth. No, I think he said dark. Well, if you said dark or Darth, that's because he had a black Maga hat. Oh, okay. Oh, and it said it was, it was a black hat, and in black threads, it said, Make America great. He said, dork, Maga, dork, mag and then he had a shirt on that said, occupy Mars. Yeah, yeah. Okay. He's, he's being himself, but I like the hat.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, no, I don't like the hat because it's off brand the hat. You cannot like that. I like that. It's off brand.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

This reminds, well, it is off brand. But this reminds me of years ago I went to a raider Kansas City game, and because the Raider fans are kind of insane, and they would beat you up if you were like, wearing Kansas City colors at a game like this. Oh, and so I was sitting next to something, and he had the black Raider colors, but on the Raider sweater shirt sweatshirt, it was actually said Kansas City Chiefs in the Raider colors. And it was very cute. And I said, That's a great idea.

Says You better believe it. You have to be careful around here. So that's what he was doing with the black hat. I equated it with that sort of thinking, Okay, well, back to dork Maga and

Unknown

frames the election as a last stand for American democracy. Dark mega text, people now. Now and then make sure they actually do vote. If they don't, this will be the last election. That's my prediction.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Nothing's more important this last election

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

thing, yeah, it's getting on my nerves, too. Yeah, well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

so in my general sphere, we have a family member who exclusively watches MSNBC is completely that's okay, because we all love each other, and we could just say we're not gonna talk politics and completely believes that, you know, Trump will destroy the Constitution, rip it up, that he's going to do away with democracy. There will be no elections. So this is now

playing on both sides. As an aside from the circles here in the hill country, I can tell you, the latest meme is, there's not going to be an election this year, because they're going to bring down the grid, I know.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

And this spreads getting better by the minute. This spreads

Adam CurryAdam Curry

like and you know, people are asking me, How should I get a sat phone? So who you gonna call? If the grid is down, who are you gonna call? We

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

gonna call you this year. You have a did you tell him to get a ham radio?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

You know, I have received multiple inquiries from people about ham radios. Yeah, I have to say, Hey, what should I get? I said, first you need a license.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I never thought about that. Yeah, well, the list you need a license. Just get a license. Everybody

Adam CurryAdam Curry

knows it's to get your technicians. Ham radio operator license is incredibly simple. You go to a rrl.org, you look for technicians license, and you'll find out where the test is usually done once a month, and in your area, it's going to be a bunch of hams who administer the test, I think they're called VAs and and they give you the exact questions for that month's test, with all the answers and multiple choice. The only thing is, the answers will be in a different order on the

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

test. Well, there'll also be different questions. No,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

they might all the but you get all the questions. No, all

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

the questions are there, yeah, but they may just as an example. Say, for example, the test has 100 questions. They'll give you 150 questions with all the answers and questions, and if you can remember all of those, you can take the test and easily pass it. Yes, correct.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

See as you don't get all of them. That's right, but you get all of them on the tests.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, you get all of them from the sample. There's no surprise question, no, no, like you get at the DMV and I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

and here's an example of a question, should you think about putting an antenna up during a lightning storm? I think that was one of the, I

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

don't remember that. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

think it was one of the questions, maybe for Texas. But there's, it really is quite simple. And then you can get a Bao Fang, or any of these radios, and you can do it away, by the

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

way, if you're a computer guy, and most of our lot of our audience are dudes named Ben, you already know the answers. Don't most of these questions, because there are a lot of them are just technical, technical questions that you would know normally in your day to day life.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yeah. And so then all you need to figure out is how a repeater works. That's what saved. Let's save lives in in North Carolina. And what I would recommend for the computer, guys and gals, is learn how to use one of these digital programs, because with very, very low output and a wire hung up in a tree, you can actually get a lot done,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

just don't put the wire up during an electrical storm. That's uh, answer

Adam CurryAdam Curry

D on question 79 Yeah,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

yeah, yes. People have to realize that the question and there are tests, there are online tests, and you go to one of those, you don't take, don't read the long book. There's like an A, I think aarl has, God no, no, giant book that you're supposed to read. Don't read the book. Go to one of the online, this is like Tip of the Day. Go to one of the online Q and A's, and they'll give you the this month's, this month's or this quarter's questions, and one after the after the other,

after the other, and then it gives you a grade. And you keep taking the test over and over and over again. You could take it maybe five or six. You can take as many times as you want, but after about the fourth time, you'll get you'll get it more than your than your passing grade. And then you can go take the test and you'll just pass. Yeah, and do it now.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Don't wait. Do it now.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Let's do it now. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

agree. Have you renewed your license? Yeah, I

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

renewed it months and months. Oh, good, yeah, good, good. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

just want to make sure.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

No, I told people to remind me, and I find I did it and and it would. There was something. I had a story about it too. There was some screwy thing about it. Oh, renewing. Oh, really, yeah, I talked about on the show. And I can't remember what it was, but there's some number. There was some I thought was like, well, this doesn't make any sense, but okay,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

they charge you more money. No, there's, I

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

don't even think it was. I think it was, it may have been free, but there was some, some mishap that was involved in irksome

Adam CurryAdam Curry

while we're kind of on, although we've moved off, a little bit about about social media. I'm not quite sure what Hillary Clinton was. First of all, she was on smirconish, smirconish. And I guess she's, she's plugging her book, smirconish, you know, CNN, Smerconish, who's this supposed to be kind of easy douche, MER dosh ish and, and I think this

is a message to the social media companies. I'm not quite sure it's like a pressure campaign or it has to have something to do with the elections, otherwise, why would she even be interviewed? So it's about kids and social media, as you

Unknown

rightly point out, Michael in the book, I write about how I don't think our kids are all right because I think they become addicted to social media. I think the phones in their pockets or their purses have a huge impact on how they spend their time, whether they interact with other people. And now we know that very often kids are affected by anxiety or depression, or, you know, all kinds of problems that are at least connected to, if not caused by this addiction to the screen. So

I was happy to see you cite the work of Robert Putnam. Bowling Alone made an impact on me, the discussion of social capital, of the sort that I'm sure the rodhams enjoyed in Park Ridge, right? Participation, belonging, volunteerism.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

What does he mean by that the rodhams enjoyed in Park Ridge? What is that? Is that, where she grew up, in Park Ridge,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I You got me. All I know is there's nothing wrong with bowling alone if you're a bowler that is so miserable.

Unknown

Jonathan Haidt. You cite gene twangy. Here's what disappoints me, and it's not about you, madam, Secretary, I'm shocked that no person, no Republican, no democrat, is championing this issue. The Social Science is so clear. The Political Science is so clear. Our fabric is frayed as a nation. Our kids are disconnected too much time behind closed doors on devices, and not enough time replicating the experience of their parents and grandparents.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Okay, so that's kind of the setup, but then she hammers it home. And here, I think, is the is the threat, you're

Unknown

absolutely right. This should be at the top of every legislative political agenda. There should be a lot of things done,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

we should. That's interesting. Legislative political agenda, not legislative health agenda. Legislative political agenda.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Oh, that's an interesting catch. Yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

that and I just heard this now. Oh, wait a minute, you don't actually care about the kids unless they're voting, which they're too young for. You're

Unknown

absolutely right. This should be at the top of every legislative political agenda. There should be a lot of things done. We should be, in my view, repealing something called Section 230 which gave, you know, platforms on the internet,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

stop, stop, and back it up. The what because of what you just caught, the Democrats have captured the educational system of primary education, secondary education and colleges of all as brainwashing tools. Yes, for political purposes, they lost this one, and now this what, this is, what she's really talking about. This is a an element of control that they don't have control of, and they lost it. And this is where she where she's all freaked out

Unknown

playing something called Section 230 which gave, you know, platforms on the internet immunity, because they were thought to be just pass throughs that they shouldn't be judged for the content that is posted. But we now know that that was an overly simple view, that if the platforms, whether it's Facebook or Twitter, x or notice

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Facebook comes first, because, you know, Zuckerberg is now turned into a bro. Zuckerberg, he's got his hairs all along. He no longer has that Caesar, that dorky Caesar cut. He's got long bro hair. He's doing Taekwondo. He's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

like ketamine to me

Unknown

full view that if the platforms, whether it's Facebook or Twitter, x or Instagram or Tiktok, whatever they are, if they don't. Moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control. And it's not just social and psychological effects. It's real harm. It's, you know, child porn and threats of violence.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

We lose total control. Yeah, it's not that we lose we're losing control the way she phrases it, we lose total control, because right now they have total control over the mechanism of information

Adam CurryAdam Curry

we have Yes, yes, exactly. And so we were losing our

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

total she should have said, Are we lose this? We're losing total control. Should be we're losing our total control over the information flow. She freaked out about

Adam CurryAdam Curry

it. Yes, yes, and mainly about Zuckerberg. We lose

Unknown

total control. And it's not just the social and psychological effects. It's real harm. It's, you know, child porn and threats of violence, things that are terribly dangerous. So I couldn't agree with you more, we need to remove the immunity from liability, and we need to have guard rails. We need regulation. We

Adam CurryAdam Curry

need to remove the immunity from liability, okay? So that can be like, Okay, now I understand what she's saying, by the way, yeah,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I I've been on Twitter since, I don't know, 2007 or something like your OG. I'm an ODE close to it. I have never seen child porn on Twitter, ever. I've never seen it on Instagram. I've never seen it on Facebook. I don't have a Facebook account, but I can sneak it on there sometimes, and or somebody else's account. And I've never seen i She's talking about

Adam CurryAdam Curry

frazzle drip. I

Unknown

couldn't agree with you more. We need to remove the immunity from liability, and we need to have guard rails. We need regulation. We've conducted this big experiment on ourselves and particularly our kids, and I think the evidence is in that we've got to do more.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yeah, we got to do more. Yeah. NPR had a very, very, just, very short clip here. About as it pertains to social media, another new term.

Unknown

Researchers have found a phenomenon called belief regression. It's when a correction to misinformation works really well in the short term, but over time, people's belief kind of creeps towards these pre correction levels, and what we found is it's mostly down to memory. So it's worth repeating that corrections to misinformation are worth repeating.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

NPR, all

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

of hammer them. Hammer them again, all of them. All of them.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's all kind of fun for the show. For the show, it's great fun. I got a boots on the ground from Dame aquamarine, and she says, You know, I'm an avid reader who's been reading popular fiction. Have been a member of book clubs in two different states, in both public library and private groups for over 10 years. I hate to say it, but I believe. And she says, The Norman Lear foundation, but it could be in any it's it's, well, actually, I said I would read

this because you would be able to explain it better. Because about publishing, the Norman Lear Foundation has infiltrated popular literature in the offices of the editors and the offices of the booksellers. Examples below. It used to be that a book might contain characters or situations that were thought provoking and would add to the story. Now, the subjects seem to be added for no real reason other than to mention them. The Hunting Party by Lisa Foley, climate change

mentioned often, and I mean often I get it. It's hot and dry in Ireland in the summer, the measure, by Nikki Elric, a lot is made of the lesbian relationship between two of the main characters. It was not just the mention of the relationship, but discussing the relationship over and over again, also

climate change and interracial relationships. And my favorite, she says, mad Honey by Jodi pilk Pikul and Jennifer Finney, Bolin, boilin, I could only get through 150 pages, and in that 150 pages, the following subjects were included in the story, suicide, domestic abuse, anger management, climate change, chan transgenderism, gender reassignment at a young age, interracial marriage, lesbianism, gay marriage,

police, oppression of blacks and alcoholism. I used to enjoy Jodie picoul As an author, and enjoyed many of her previous books. They were formulaic, but they were enjoyable. During this book, I felt lectured constantly, especially if I didn't agree. It was frustrating to me a no agenda listener to hear how other readers felt for the author's views. I was in the lone voice when I brought up the sterilization of long term

mental health outcomes. So I said, you know, John would know what's wrong with the publishing industry.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Well, there's not much to it. As. Just the people who do people it. They're not well paid. And so it's like journalists. You have a low paid crowd that is a very socialist, because they want more money. And they, they promote these ideas, and they, and there's a group think the all the whole publishing company will probably be is probably turned woke. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

was gonna say how many publishing companies are? There are, there are, there's about

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

100 I guess are

Adam CurryAdam Curry

all of them woke?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I think most of them are. Now, nowadays, yeah, it's like, the same as the newspapers. Oh, yeah, the newspapers are. It's, there's no difference. The newspapers are a publishing company only. They do a different type of publishing. They publish a daily, yeah, a daily tome. I mean, if you look at a newspaper that thinks the size of a book often, if you put it and made it into pages, yeah? So they're publishing books too, in terms of volume of words, and, yeah, they're all woke.

It's because the low pay, I think, has a lot to do with it. Then they tend to be unionized the newspapers, for sure, yeah, yeah, it's just, it's just the people after

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Ford, Harley Davidson, John Deere, Black and Decker. Now Toyota walking back their diversity equity and inclusion programs saying they will no longer sponsor cultural events and parades such as LGBTQ plus pride.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

But I think, I think it's less walking back and more of them recognizing that these things have become lewd events. Dale gay pride parade used to be a kind of, you know, people doing a parade in San Francisco and elsewhere, yeah. And it was, you know, you bring your kids. It was like a parade. It was kind of cute, but they became lewd events where they had the guys, the last go round they had in San Francisco, a area where there was a bunch of these plastic swimming pools.

They're peeing on each other. Yeah, got it, you know, you can, you're gonna sponsor that. This is just a brand the state, brand safety. What's that phrase that is used all the time? Brand safe, brand safety. Yeah, there's not just not. These are not brand safe events anymore. So Toyota back out. It's not because of, Oh, they've gone anti dei it's because they've gone they're brand safe, they're the same as they are with

everything, and they're not idiots. They're not going to be associated with a bunch of guys peeing on each other in public.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Oh, what a loss for the cause. They're Toyota's walking us back. Man, it's no good. All right, so the dock workers strike ended very abruptly, very quickly, with a lot of fuzz, as in, what really happened? Dock

Unknown

workers across the eastern United States on Thursday celebrated the news that this week's strike was ending quickly. I'm happy for them, so they can get back to work and take care of their families. I mean, they've been they been out here for three days around the clock, so this is a good thing for everybody. It's a good thing for the state, the port and all the members here and all their

families. The International longshoremen Association launched their first walkout since 1977 after negotiations stalled over union demands for significant wage increases and protection against automation related job loss, the strike involved 45,000 workers

and paralyzed ports. From Maine to Texas, at least 45 container vessels unable to unload were anchored outside the ports by Wednesday, up from just three before the strike began, analysts cautioned that a long strike could pose a major economic headwind, leading to shortages and raising prices at a time when inflation has been moderating. Under the tentative agreement, dockworkers will receive a 62% salary increase

over six years. The Union and the United States Maritime Alliance have agreed to extend the existing contract until January 15 while they negotiate other outstanding issues.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So Daggett, whatever his name is, he was very clear, 77% five bucks across the board, they settled for less for this temporary halt, and just in essence, punted it ahead until after the election, right before the insurrection can take place.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

We have a boots on the ground report from someone we do, who lives next door to these people.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Oh, do you have it? I don't have that. Yeah, I

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

do. I thought you had it. No, I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

don't. I don't. Don't

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

expose my identity, please. I live in the got the home of mob union boss Harold

Adam CurryAdam Curry

New Jersey. The guy in New Jersey, yeah,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

yeah, was a boss Harold, yeah, Daggett, along with other execs of the ILA and about 1.75 About 175 ILA employees. We are in the woods. Harrah is going to retire this year. And he was told by many around he has to do this strike because he needs to beef up his retirement, which I think sounds right.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

How does the strike beef up your retirement? Because you

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

when you retire, you go out at a higher amount of money. You get

Adam CurryAdam Curry

a bigger percentage. He already makes $800,000

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

he wants to make more. Oh, please. It's still going to be a percentage of it, but I don't know. Maybe it's 100% but I don't know what their retirement looks like. He says Dennis will not be at the negotiating table with Donald Trump. By the way, some of the rank and file were letting me know that they did not support the strike. They were required to be walking in circles with signs they didn't like the strike, and it says they were pissed because Harold Dennis and

the other bigwoods continue to get paid. No, okay, yeah, but they're, apparently they're both Trump's. Everyone's a Trump supporter, including the rank and file and these guys. And I think now this is, I gotta take too much credit for this, for the show, but when we brought up the fact that if they go on the strike and meat is re is reintroduced to the American public market, yeah, it will lower the prices of beef, lower the price of groceries and and inflation will go down, right?

It will hurt with Trump. Can we pay? We couldn't

Adam CurryAdam Curry

have that. Okay, okay, two things start to make sense. One dag it. He needed to go beyond January then, because, oh, I'm retiring. So there's that part solved. And then indeed it would, it would. It would actually benefit the the Harris campaign. But still, the real issue here, it seems so obvious to me the deeper I look into it, it's the automation part.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

No, no, they don't want that the point, but they have, we have to

Adam CurryAdam Curry

have automation.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

It'll happen. It'll be built in no matter what the how much noise they make those it's the guy. What's going to happen is the as the employees, uh, kind of expire. In other words, you know, they've been there long enough, when they're removed, when they quit, when they retire, the

retire, their jobs will be replaced by automation. So it's not going to hurt any current employees the automation, yeah, I mean, because in China, they're all those little, this crazy looking, I don't know what to even call them these like, I don't know what to call them, but they carry around the containers around the yard. We got, I got to know it from somebody else who said, you know, this is we need automation, because you have to time you you can't find your

load. Nobody knows what the hell is going on. No, you sit in your truck driving around

Adam CurryAdam Curry

terrible. And if you look at the Port of Rotterdam, that thing's almost completely automated. They still have 4000 5000 workers, but it's not 50,000 and and the and the whole idea of containers was automation. It was stacking. It was simple.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

That was the idea, exactly standardized. Container idea was, it was a revolution, and it was largely because of you could, you could automate it, yeah, as opposed to loading, you know that you if you looked at the old movies from the 50s, and you see the how they loaded a ship with a bag full of shit, they dropped it in the hole and sorted out. He was just a joke like compared to today,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

right? Just dropped. The claw opened up. Good to go. Yeah. So anyway, the good news is the economy's doing great. We had 250,000 jobs. Of course, if you look into the report, you see that 1.1 million citizens, American citizens, lost their jobs. Or like, no, was it? It was, it was some. It was like, most of the new jobs are by non citizens. And I have no problem with someone coming to America to work, but we know that the zone was flooded, and we know the whole point.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Wait, hold on. I said that doesn't make any sense with good paying union jobs as all Biden never said, Get go dignity.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yeah, here. So Biden came into the into the briefing room. Not Joe Biden, by the way, as far as I'm concerned, this was daddy longlegs. The guy's way too cognizant. He's, I mean, he has some of the same stumbles that have been practiced over and over again. I just don't think this is our president. Anyway. He came in and say, That's all great

Unknown

times. Joe Biden, President with a rare visit to the White House briefing room to hail. Good news on the economy, the nation is now created.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

He has not been in the briefing room since his ever see ever, maybe ever,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

that's not rare, ever. First time, ever times

Unknown

Joe Biden the President with a rare visit to the White House briefing room to hail. Good news on the economy. The nation has now created 16 million jobs. Have come to office, 254,000 of them added in September. The unemployment rate of 4.1% near a 50 year low. Wages rose 4% over the past year, meaning paychecks are growing faster than overall inflation, and the Dow closed today at a record high, gone from economy in crisis to literally have the strongest economy in

the world. We've got more work to do more work, because many Americans feel like they're struggling to make ends meet with rising prices of groceries, housing and childcare. Feels like it's harder to live. Everybody's scratching and scraping just to live still, some say they're finally starting to feel a difference. I feel like it's it's getting better, and one of the biggest

risks to the economy, the port strike has been resolved. For now, shippers and dock workers agreed to an almost 62% pay raise, bringing longshoremen back on the job, at least until January, when they've agreed to bargain again over automation, ending the port strike critical for the economy, and especially for small business like three moms organics. This is such a relief that knowing that this is been worked out for at least now, takes a lot of pressure off, especially because

Adam CurryAdam Curry

three moms organic so they get all their crap from China. Is that? Is that why it's so so good for no idea

Unknown

what they're going to the timing also key as the southeast picks up the thesis after Hurricane Helene and will need significant rebuilding. Yeah,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

there's a thing. There was a thing in that report where they said that unemployment is 4.1% of 50 year low in recent memory, we heard 3.1 3.5 3.4 3.6 all within the last year, and now it's up to 4.1 how has that become a 50 year low? Also

Adam CurryAdam Curry

to say that wages have kept in in a in check with inflation is a blatant lie. I mean, oh, if you're talking about money printing inflation, okay, but if you're talking about the actual inflation of prices, no, 4% is nowhere near what you need. No, you need 20%

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

closer to it, because they like to downplay, you know, they have to keep reminding people that inflation is cumulative. Yes. So, yeah, it comes down to say it's 2.1% but it was already nine and eight. It's all adds up. It's like, they never show you, and they show a graph. It goes down to whatever it is. Look at the lines. Look at it pretty. Lines down. If you do cumulative,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

we're feeling it. I mean, everybody feels it. No, I've noticed

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

my my when I go to the vegetable store, fruit market, it's I used to pay for the same old, same old stuff. I always buy the same stuff. And it was always like $30 and now it's always $50 it's always everything's 20 bucks more, yeah? For minimum, people

Adam CurryAdam Curry

of Fredericksburg don't even go downtown anymore. You want to, you want a glass of wine? 27 Bucks what?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, I've heard about some of these prices at bars for it's liquor. It's just like every time somebody tells me one of these for a beer, like 16 bucks for a beer.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yeah. So we have what we have a royalty in town that probably here, Sir Mark and Dame Astrid, the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Japan, and all the islands surrounding the Japan Sea, disputed, disputed. Yes, the disputed islands. And so we're going out to dinner tonight, and then tomorrow night we're cooking for them here. So I'm making them pick up the bill for tonight. I can't afford it anymore. I'm excited to see them. Tina says I should take a look at some of their

architecture. Yo, I haven't looked at their portfolio recently. Holy moly. I mean, they did the Cartier store. Well, that

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

would be the type to do that. The stuff they do is so beautiful. Design your back porch. Sorry, have them design, redesign your back porch. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

can't afford them to design anything for me. They're going to come in. You just wonder, what did two award? Because they actually here before they think they picked up an award in Houston. And he has an OBE for his architectural work. He's like, almost an actual Knight.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

We're actual knights.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

No, I mean British night. You mean a British night? Yeah, no, no, obviously they're not just knights. They're Grand Duke and Grand Duchess. They're

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

grand dukes. Much bigger rank. Yes, much bigger rank.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

But I'm just saying, I think I'd come into our house, and when you have these architects who in the house, they look around, go,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

huh? Oh, yeah, that's embarrassing. Person exactly

Adam CurryAdam Curry

like, hmm, yeah, I wouldn't have made that choice, yeah, okay,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

put the window there like that.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the container automation, say hello to my friend on the other and the one and only, Mr. John C tomorrow.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Good morning. You Mr. Adam curry, the more ships and sea blues, telegraphing, the air, subsidy, water and all the games and nights out there. In the morning,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

we got 2255 at the peak. 2255 at the peak. This is why you say that's bad. It's low 200 it's low, it's low. We're low 200 we're low 200

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, it should be 24

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, that's all right,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

not Thursday. Well, it's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

a tough times. People don't have electricity. Can't even listen to

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

this. Well, that's true. We do. We have lost the southeast.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Hey, we had a lot of producers in the in the Asheville area. Interestingly, we did no no this, I'm getting notes from people who are interchanging notes with other people. And actually, for the first time, finding out that they both listen to no agenda, which is kind of Yeah, which is kind of

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

always funny, yeah, you do What? What?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

In the morning, in the morning. So those trolls are in the troll room, and they are all listening live@trollroom.io or you can go to no agenda, dot stream. Either one works perfectly fine. This is a 24/7 operation, though we come in on Thursdays and Sundays, and we bring you our show live. We start at one o'clock and we end up whenever we're done, use about three, three and a half hours. And of course, you can listen to it live right there on the website, or you can get a

modern podcast app. And I use podcast guru these days, pretty good. It'll give you an alert when, when we go live right in the app, you see, so it's a boom, oh, it's live. And you click on that, and you hear the right away, you hear the stream.

And if you miss the stream or can't listen or your boss is watching, don't worry about it. The minute we publish, 90 seconds later, you will be alerted when the show is published, and most of the show is actually through the podcast and 2.0 technology, along with many other great features, such as transcripts, so English as a second language, you can read along as we speak. It'll even end the transcripts now identify your name correctly, and they spell your name correctly. The

AI, the AI is improving. Okay, good, yeah, it only took, what? 18 months we're there. Finally, the large language model. Years the large language model has figured it out. We run the show value for value, which means 26th of October. It'll be 17 years that we have never had a commercial. We've never taken any corporate money. It's all been time talent and treasure from our producers, which we're very proud of. This someone sent me an early, early twit, a couple of clips. I didn't keep

them. I have them, but I didn't bring them to the show. Um, when Leo was still at the brick house, I guess he's busy back at the brick house now. Or, uh, no, he's at home. He's in the garage. And you were on the show. We were talking about different business models of podcasting, and it was so early, we weren't doing this show yet. And no, I remember

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

during the cottage era when we weren't doing the show, but I think by the time the brick house came around, we will

Adam CurryAdam Curry

show it may have been the cottage and maybe it wasn't the brick house. And you guys were talking about, well, what are the possible models? And well, and Leo is like, Oh, well, you know, we'll get enough money for advertisers. That'll happen eventually. And there was a lot of talk of donations. And it was kind of like, well, you know, we can easily get everyone to donate $4 dollars. It never works. And we started that way too 17 years ago, like, hey, why don't you? No, no, it doesn't

work. When you ask people just to send you value for the value received or the program. It's amazing what happens. And I'm it's a revolutionary thought, and I'm surprised that more people have not really picked up on it. I mean this, there is, you

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

have to, have to be lectured on it. I lectured people on this because they all say the same thing that what you just expressed, which as well. You know, I got, I got 10,000 listeners. And if all of them somehow, by the way, try 1% to think in those terms, yes, a little closer to reality. Uh, if all of them gave me four bucks a show, that would be $40,000 a show. And I do a show a week that's enough to get, I'll make a lot of money, and it's like you won't get that's never going to happen,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

no. So we just only have

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

10. 1000, and you leave it wide open so they can donate what they want. Could be four, could be 10, could be 100 could be 1000 there are people that have enough disposable income that they will gladly give you $1,000

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yeah, and that is because Val value is different to them. That's what makes it so beautiful. And also people can just give us time and talent. We, I don't think we have. We ever built a website for this show? I can't, I can't recall ever building a website. Oh

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

yeah, dvorak.org/in

Adam CurryAdam Curry

a we don't, we don't have the password anymore, so we don't talk about that one. We

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

don't talk about dvorak.org/and I still play that. I

Adam CurryAdam Curry

still play the jingle at the end, just to irk you, because one day

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I just put it forwarding. Oh, please.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Oh, okay. Will you have that done by the next show? It's so easy. You

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

just admit it. Is this working? I can't hear

Adam CurryAdam Curry

what you lost the password. Just admit it. Hello. Put a blink tag in there. I'd be very impressed.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

That's I don't think the blink tag works anymore. It doesn't. They got rid of pretty sure it doesn't. They

Adam CurryAdam Curry

deprecated the blink tag. I think they took it out. That's no good. Yeah, I'd

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

rather have a run. I like it where you have the running cat going from one side of the page to the other. That's my favorite good times. The cat running back and forth. And then there's a mailbox that spins and opens and closes. And remember the little red flag goes up

Adam CurryAdam Curry

and down? Don't you remember the under construction sign? Oh,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

this is still around the

Adam CurryAdam Curry

little yellow and black construction wood. Our website's coming. It's under construction. We're building it. Yes, we're building it anyway. So no, we haven't done that. And one of the many ways that people contribute is through providing us of new album art for each and every single episode, which is, looks great in the in the rundown of podcasts. It looks great for promoting the show. It gives people a kick, and it's a fun little competition. And we have some very serious I cleaned

up the studio the other day, and I found Mike Riley books. And just, we have so many, like the we have a pro comic guy who just, like, high end,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

oh, we have a couple of high end comic guys, couple of them,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

and as like this. And I keep all that stuff, of course, so they,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

those guys don't give us the art for the

Adam CurryAdam Curry

show. No, no, no, no, they don't, but, but that's the level that we have. Boy used to, he used to, I, you know, I put that in a box, and I'm like, one day when I'm dead, my daughter's gonna come in here, like, I gotta clean out this junk and throw it

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

out. Exactly what this is to say. It might be worth something, but some guys scribble his name all over it. What good is that?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

What are all these coins? What are these coins of all this different stupid coins? These coins are no good. I got stickers. I got all kinds. I can just see her now, bring out one of those containers boys get rid of this junk anyway. NOAA Art

generator.com. Is the website we can upload and participate in this contest, which takes place twice a week, and we want to congratulate the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1700 of course, it was a big episode for us, and Francisco Scaramanga nailed it.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Who hates us? By the way, I don't understand that he really hating art.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

By the way, 1700 was titled turban tossing. And I think we should keep an eye on that, because that will be, that will be the way the next it will be the turbine tossing revolution in Iran. And we'll be, we have a boots on the ground from a dude named Bahamut coming up after we thank some people here. So Francisco had an automated containers, two robots carrying a shipping container, had 1700 on it. It was very

traditional Scaramanga color palette. I would say he has this kind of color palette with his greenish background the letters that have that little what is the look I'm looking at here? It's kind of washed out a little. That's not the right term. Are you looking at it?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Uh, I've got the old look at it. What you're talking about? What is this guy talking about?

Unknown

What am I talking Yeah, he

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

does have a is a pasteli pastellian.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

That's what he is. Yeah, he's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

a pastellian. And so he's got the blue sky is kind of a pastel blue, pastel orange containers, kind of a pastel orange, yes, and that's good. And then and the 17, yeah, it's, it's got that, what would you call that dirty, grungy, grungy, dirty,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

grungy look, grungy,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

dirty numbers that have been. Wore, shop worn, yes,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

and I can tell you right now what I'm seeing coming in for this episode. We're going to be looking for an evergreen once we said no Star Trek stuff. Everyone gave up.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, it seems like there's nothing here.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So keep trying. The artists, they do this while they're listening live, which is the beautiful thing about it. There was she. Was there anything else with a lot of butts, a lot of 1700 a lot of cheesecake? Was there anything else that we like, I kind of like, Nico sign signs, the strike signs. But there was just no doubt about it. Francisco scaramangas piece was prettier. Was Was it made scary manga

species nailed it nailed. No agenda, Art generator.com, and you can see many of these pieces of art flying by in the chapters. And if you if you're in the car, if you're using Android Auto or CarPlay, and you plug it in, it'll change on your dashboard. It's kind of fun. It'll distract you while you're driving. Thank you again. Francisco Scaramanga. Now we want to thank the people who brought us the treasure, part of the 3t of value for value, time, talent, treasure, the executive

Well, good for him, and one to his faithful canine companion in Indy, uh, let her be known as Commodore Indy the white Shepherd. Oh, all right. Again. Go to, uh, no agenda rings.com and put this information in

Communism, grooming, luxury boarding and much, much more, a wonderful place with a staff who just love to pamper your pup all day long. Come by and check it out.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I'm surprised most of these luxury places also advertised that they had that they stream the dog channel 24/7, in the kennel. Does Mimi have that? No, it's a big thing.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

We don't have TVs for the dogs.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

You'd be surprised. It's a big thing. Now they're streaming the dog channel. But

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

some dogs with, you know, ever since people should always kind of remember this, that before the LCD screen, dogs couldn't see TV. That's right, that's a good point, because it was flickering at a 6030, cycles per second, and it was just bits and pieces that our eyes, human eyes, could piece it together look like an image, when, in fact, it wasn't that. If you anyone ever took a photo of a TV screen, you can see what, what's really going on, just a splash of something.

And dogs are stays. They couldn't see the the images weren't built into the dog eyes. So they wouldn't watch TV. They couldn't even cats. So when the LCD screen came out, this is useless information, no, when the LCD screen came out, riveting, dogs and cats will watch TV.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

That's right. It's good news. In some places they eat the dogs. In other places they let them watch TV. They're eating the dogs. Duke of San Francisco comes in with 690, 6.33, and says, I the Duke of San Francisco have learned of the Lake Tahoe, submarine Tahoe, submarine base, and the protection of the bay is now paramount to the defense of our great nation.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Yeah. Okay. This is from Sir 1% ITM fellows and getmo nation. I am back with a donation of 1% of my gross business revenue to send sad puppies scurrying away and claim my promotion to Viscount the honor of Commodore of Dixie Washington. And if I'm gonna read, you can't be blowing your nose, or you gotta mute, it's disgusting. And to ask

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

that disgusting life, is it disgusting? Yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

because you can just hear it flying out of your nose,

Since we share the same birthday, on Monday, I will be hitting 49 I also want to use this occasion to thank those on the socials how I refer to Mastodon for short, okay, who helped me attempt to win Best pest control service provider in a local newspaper's recently concluded Readers Choice poll.

Unfortunately, I do not have news of a victory. However, I do not know if that's because of my business, Z pest control LLC did not win. A strange thing has happened. Nominated businesses were invited to an awards dinner and a minimum ticket cost of $138 don't you lose? Who? Don't you Yeah, don't you understand that these are scams that. That's the whole point of these things, even the the Podcast Awards. Now the whole, the whole idea is you, you pay your money and then and you pay to enter.

So I'm sorry that you, you got snookered at the event, which was live streamed and recorded. Dozens of categories disappeared from the presentation pest control included.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Oh no,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

this is a travesty of epic proportions. The list of winners has not yet been published, but I now suspect that if no nominees from a category bought tickets and their category was eliminated votes and all this poll may have been nothing more than a scam by the newspaper to score cash on the names of other businesses. Oh, well, life is a scam. Thank you gentlemen for your tireless work shining light and all the

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I do. I think Mike Benz is spot on. Unfortunately, he usually takes 40 minutes to make the point, and I think most people have already kind of drifted off and lost interest. He is so detailed, and he almost seems frustrated that people don't understand what he's saying. But I agree with almost everything he says. But even when you talk about the so called blob, I just think he's got to find a shorter way to

explain what he's saying. He needs an editor. Onwards towards Baron, regards, Baronet, fly, not of the open maps,

Okay. Vice President Harris surveyed damage from Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. Emperor says muhallid has more in North Carolina. HARRIS praised first responders and volunteers on the ground for doing God's work. The work that is happening here and that continues, really is the best of what we can do to bring federal, state and local resources together. Federal hurricane recovery efforts are becoming politicized in this campaign cycle. Wait

exactly then why did,

what Wait, what fall. What is he? What's she talking about? The same woman now she's saying that there was false information without telling us what it was. Well, that's, oh, Trump's saying false information.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, what is this? Just like a throwaway report. They just do this 22 seconds from time to time on NPR. Just throw it in there.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, it's just so they can slam Trump. Oh, man,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

very strange.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

If we want to play weird clips, I still have,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I don't really, I don't. Oh, okay, good. Well,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

let's play a couple. Well, no, you had, you're on board. Well, no,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I want, I want to talk about Iran and Israel and all the important things in life.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Iran. I've got an Israel clip, but it's not going to follow whatever you have to do. Okay?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Backgrounder, and if you really want to know what the intelligence community thinks, you got to bring in Richard Engel from NBC, Iran, Supreme

Unknown

Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei led Friday prayers in Tehran today for the first time in more than four years. He said Iran is ready to strike Israel again, if necessary, to drive home the point, the 85 year old cleric clutched an assault rifle Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is at war with Iran's network of allies. The main battleground is Lebanon against Hezbollah, which has been attacking Northern Israel with

rockets for nearly a year. In response, the group says to Israel's war on Gaza, Beirut is now rocked by Israel day and night here, Israel targeted what an official said was a meeting of Hezbollah leaders in southern Lebanon. Israel is trying to carve out a buffer zone free of Hezbollah Israeli strikes are taking their toll here. The city of Tyre, one of the biggest cities here in southern Lebanon, has effectively been evacuated.

There's very few civilians left here. Hezbollah has taken a beating in recent days, but the group remains intact, and every day down here, we have seen and heard outgoing fire. Lebanese officials say 1400 people have been killed in Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu and his war cabinet are still deciding how and when to respond to Iran's missile attack. That decision will be felt across the Middle East and beyond. Yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

this is the big one. Now, how is Israel? Israel? How are they going to respond? They're going to blow up the oil. They're going to blow up the the nuclear. Are they going to do nothing? Are they going to just blow up some more pagers, some more radios? What's going on?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I think we should have a betting pool.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, let's, let's see what Trump has to say.

Unknown

They asked him, What do you think about Iran? Would you hit Iran? And he goes, as long as they don't hit the nuclear stuff, that's the thing you want to hit, right? I said, I think he's got that one wrong. Is that the what you're supposed to hit? I mean, it's the most it's the biggest risk we have, nuclear weapons, the power of nuclear weapons, the power of weaponry. You know, I rebuilt the entire military jets, everything I built it, including nuclear. And I hated to build the nuclear,

but I got to know firsthand the power of that stuff. And I'll tell you what, we have to be totally prepared. We have to be absolutely prepared. But when they asked him that question, the answer should have been, hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later. And that's why they should if they're going to do it.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I like how Trump kind of interchanges nuclear power with nuclear bombs and, you know, just this whole back and forth. And of course, nobody wants to, nobody wants to hit the oil, because then the oil will skyrocket, and that's going to need that aggravation that's going to hurt Biden short term and Trump long term, because no matter what he does then, his 18 month promise won't happen if they blow up some Iranian oil

rigs and refineries or whatever, that's no good. So the question is, CNN poses to former US ambassador to Syria and Israel, is is this political anyway? Political is Netanyahu taking advantage of some political cycle going on in America, sir?

Unknown

What do you believe our prime minister, Benjamin, Netanyahu? Imperatives here and. I think my sense what's his thought trajectory? Central question is, is the Israeli Prime Minister taking advantage of the fact that there is this heated we are in the heated final days of a US presidential election? Is he pushing forward more aggressively, in part because of that?

Absolutely Casey. I think that he feels he has a relatively open field because of our upcoming presidential elections, it's very difficult for the Biden administration, on the cusp of a very tight presidential race, to alienate certain important constituencies on our country, both the American Jewish vote the Arab American Arab vote in battle

ground states. So he knows the American political scene very well, like the back of his hand, and I think he is taking advantage of the inhibitions of the Biden administration to be more assertive in reining in what he has been doing in really asking for total military victory in Gaza and now attacking Beirut and southern Lebanon. So that, obviously is a consideration it is in his personal interest to continue the warfare into certain measures.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, that was totally boring. I'm almost I'm also

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

a minute in my life. I'll

Adam CurryAdam Curry

never get back longer. Was a minute and a half

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

so. But I did use the term I unless you slipped it in thought trajectory.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I slipped. I slipped. I clicked in thought trajectory, please, because the stupid Casey Hunt is like thought trajectory is what you just want to say. I'll read the you know, our our theory, our working theory, which can change, but our working theory is, this is all part of the West. Clark seven. The idea is to get Iran. We already have the

turban tossing happening. We need regime change, and some of the players may already be dead, if not, they are on the hit list, very similar to what happened with Hezbollah and the exploding the pagers was one thing, I think, the the tactical radios that really took out some, some dudes who are important. So speaking of dudes, we have a boots on the ground from dude named Muhammad. He's in the region. And would you explain why we put so much weight on his reports?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Oh, he's the OG dude named Muhammad. For one thing, if it's the same guy, and he I, he seems credible. I don't know what you're wanting me to say

Adam CurryAdam Curry

about how they how people talk in the region. Oh

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

yes, they gossip a lot. If you go, if you're in the Middle East, and you go to a cafe or even hang out with a rug salesman in Turkey, all they do is, is gossip about politics. 100% of the time they it's like, it's on, it's like what we once in a while, oh, don't talk politics at the dinner table. Oh, no, that's not the case in the Middle East. No, that's all you talk about.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So we are thinking, is that what you were looking for? Thank you. I'll cut out the part where I explain my question. No one will ever know. We

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

edit this show down to nothing. The post that goes into the show is unbelievable. No one ever

Adam CurryAdam Curry

knows ITM gents, here's my humble analysis of the situation, having a good understanding of the region US and international affairs. It seems that this is ramping up to cleanse all Iranian proxies before January 2025, this explains the Trump Netanyahu meetings, which are at Mar a Lago, and will give both something to brag about. Trump ending a huge conflict from day one and Netanyahu emerging like a national hero. This will revive a new Abraham accord with

friendly neighboring countries. We've already heard Bibi talk that way towards the Iranians. Minimal threats for new beachfront properties and shining pipelines Hezbollah will

be completely eliminated. And I believe there will be a new leadership in Lebanon could be supported by the Lebanese military, which will guarantee support by Gulf nations for stable and friendly Lebanon, Syria, on the other hand, will most likely end with a military coup, with a friendly military leadership, just like Lebanon. The same will be repeated in

Yemen. Iraq is already halfway there with a couple of militias to be pushed aside, and no strong or charismatic leader for the proxies in this part of the world, people look for a singular leader, and the proxies lost a lot of them recently during this Abraham accord. 2.0 stage, Iran will be isolated, sidelined and ready to be internally rebelized through turban tossing and Tiktok videos. Turban tossing and Tiktok video. It's too long for a title, but that's basically

it, and that will finally end the West Clark seven. You know, I was thinking about this. It's a good note. It's a great note, because it, you know, and you kind of have, if you add Putin and and Ukraine to the mix, let's just, let's just take a look at what happened since 1991 in American foreign policy. In 91 the Wall came down. The Soviet Union ended. And I think from that moment, the United States, you know, the government, was like, Yeah, we run the world now. We don't need

anybody. But there's no one's around. Putin. There's no guy to do anything. Russia's weak. They got nothing. So in 1992 Paul Wolfowitz creates a defense policy for Cheney, who was, then, some people don't remember this. He was the Secretary of Defense for Bush one. Then we get Clinton in 1994 a Democrat now. So of course, everything's going to change. Sure NATO would expand to Ukraine. That actually became public in 97 despite who we had promised, Gorbachev, and before that, Yeltsin was we're

never going to expand NATO. Don't worry about it. Yeah, it was a promise by Jim Baker, and then who came in as Secretary of State under Bill Clinton, Madeleine Albright, another fine specimen in 1998 Clinton already had published the policy document to replace Saddam Hussein through regime change. But don't worry, we'll get to that later. Then we have the first war in Europe after World War Two, which people don't really want to credit it with. That was the 1999 bombing of

Serbia again. Madeleine Albright Clinton, wasn't she out there saying, hey, if we got to kill some children, it's okay. I recall her saying something like that,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

and I recall the errant missile that found its way into the Chinese Embassy and blew it to smithereens. Yes,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

no. She said that later, she said later here she said,

Unknown

we have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died when in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it? I think this is a very hard choice, but the price, we think the price is worth it. Uh huh. So

Adam CurryAdam Curry

there you go. That's Madeleine Albright.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Great clip. Ready? Yeah, that's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Madeleine Albright.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

That's a good one.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

No, at the time during the Clinton, Bill Clinton, our sax playing boxer wearing Bill Clinton, Democrat president who was number two in the State Department Russian policy. Come on, everybody. It's an easy question to answer. Victoria Newland, yes, she was in there, 1999 so then we get bush in after the disaster. She was thin and kind of pretty. She Well, in an odd kind of way. Yeah, she was so then we have Bush coming in 2001 he came in, of course, in January, before

911 but don't worry, there's only a couple months. This is George W Bush. Newland then becomes Deputy National Security Advisor for who was the vice president. Oh, there's Cheney again. Oh, what a surprise, of course. Then we read of the Project for the New American Century subtitle, rebuilding America's defenses, we get 911 whatever happened? How that happened? WTC, seven won't go away. And this became the public

relations move to start all of the wars. Of course, we know West Clark seven, the big ones by 2003 we needed to have Iraq, Syria and Iran in 2004 This isn't discussed very much. Seven more countries join NATO, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Remember, no expansion. Russia. Na now, who is ambassador to NATO in 2005 you? You'll never get who? Victoria Newland. Oh, my God, you're kidding. Then we have in 2008 well, that Bush was no

good. Let's bring in our hope and change. Here's President Obama, and who becomes Secretary of State under Obama, Hillary Clinton, and who was the spokeshole for the Secretary of State. Hillary Clinton, ah, Victoria Nuland. She gets a lot of work she does. Then we switched out Hillary for watermelon head Kerry and Newland became Assistant

Secretary of State and the point person on Ukraine. So then 2014 Victoria Newland coordinates the coup that we have her on the phone call f the EU, hey Clark, and

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

then with our CIA director, somehow, for some reason, in Ukraine, hanging around eating donuts and

Adam CurryAdam Curry

cookies and oh, we'll bring in. Biden, he'll, he'll, he'll, he'll deliver. He'll midwife this thing. He'll, he'll lube the baby. It's all going to be great. Who else enters the scene? Sullivan, Blinken, so we got the whole team in there. Now, Trump comes in in 2016 and I, I mean, I think he was, he was still kind of perpetuating this policy by reluctantly, I guess, but eventually sending arms to Ukraine, though not of the nuclear variety. And he thought

he had a pretty bragging about it. And he thought he had a pretty good relationship with with our dancer over there, our actor, Zelensky. And right away, you know, of course, it was a horrible phone call, and he's no good, and they went crazy over Trump not wanting to do what they wanted him to do. But he did relent a little bit. So then we get 2021, Biden. Remember, he helped over overthrow Ukraine, all kinds of shenanigans with this kid. And again, Sullivan and blink, and everybody's in.

Putin even tries to get a peace treaty. Oh, let's send him. Boris Johnson to intervene. It's the same policies, the same people. And again, Newland got promoted. She was on point for the war of 2022 Biden calling for regime change in Russia. And now, do we understand and do we find it strange or not that Dick Cheney endorses Kamala Harris

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

this? Wow, this like a shaggy dog story. That was good. Thank

Adam CurryAdam Curry

you. Thank you. This

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

is the reality. I was waiting. You were waiting. You're waiting. Where's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

he gonna end it? He better end it. Now.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I was thinking, where's he going with this? I thought it might be something, just a minor thing, but to bring it back to Cheney, that's it, and him endorsing Kamala Harris, which is an abomination for any Republican at his level, exactly. Yes, congratulations. That's one of the best tales you've told so

Adam CurryAdam Curry

far, when a rare compliment,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

it was a good was worth complimenting. It was good. Yes, indeed, in fact, that you nailed it. Thank you. And our den, our dude named people, our feet on the ground are named Muhammad. And everyone knows this is going on. Anyone who's got a clue knows this is going on. And then people in the Middle East, generally speaking, can see through a lot of this stuff.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I remember I was in Holland, and it was Bush one, and who was he running against?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Who was the Dukakis? Was it one? Yes, yeah, yes. I think was that the caucus in the tank, that's it.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

And I remember being, you know, my buddy Ben, Ben Cohen, who had the swarma, the swarma joint in Amsterdam. We, I used to talk about him back in the day. You may not remember, I don't remember. And I and, well, this is before we were doing the show. No, you definitely won't remember that. No, but I talked about him many times after. It doesn't matter. And that was, you know, I was young, I was on TV, I was popular. I'm like, Yeah, I'm in teen beat magazine. All,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

you're a hot Tiger. I'm a hottie. I'm

Adam CurryAdam Curry

a hottie. Yes, I'm the heartthrob of the week in the Dutch Tiger. Now you're 60, yeah, don't get me started, Jason.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Now you're the same age as walls.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I'm actually, I think I'm a little older than walls.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I think he's that guy looks like he's 90, so you're in good shape. And so

Adam CurryAdam Curry

this is kind of a hat tip to our dude named Mohammed, so Ben and his brother, I learned a little bit of Hebrew, you know, because he was a real Israeli. Now, Shiro team, all these important words, I ate apples with honey on Rosh Hashanah and but he and his brothers were always talking about politics, always, always. And I couldn't understand most, but I picked up a lot along the way. And I remember on because why you do it for a living? Yes, always had the TV on, always on,

CNN and so. And I knew nothing about the world. I knew Tina Turner, David Bowie, I was on top of that world. I knew nothing about was happening. And there was a bush, I think either after I can just remember I'm in his living room like he says, there's that Bush who said, Yeah, I think it'll be good for America. And he looks at me, his head whips around, what he's the biggest criminal in the world. Don't you know that he owns all the oil? And I was so I'm like, Really, I had no idea. And I

think most of the world is like that still today. Watch the Today Show, read your People Magazine, and so yes, people in the region have known this forever and have discussed it, and it's been withheld from us, and still no, it has to

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

be withheld from us. And just as a little extra room to be withheld.

Unknown

Hello. Mm, hmm. And

Adam CurryAdam Curry

along the site the same sidetrack. And now you kind of understand why Victoria numes is so beside herself about Putin, because she was part of the you know, we, we, we own the world. We are the world. We are the children. We are running the show this and what, what is this guy? He's ruining it, not just that is a troublemaker. We were raping that. We were raping Russia. We had everyone was in there making money. Good. We were, yeah, but we thought everyone got kicked out.

Everyone did. Everyone's paycheck got slashed. And you know, it was,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

it was the NGOs kicked out. All the connections to the oil industry kicked out. It

Adam CurryAdam Curry

was a great Gambit while at last. And then this, this Putin guy came in and ruined it. And you remember how Biden, and we've forgotten about it, but the narrative was, all right, CIA, you know, if you're in Russia, you can contact the CIA, you can work for us. And Putin, oh, he's got cancer. He's got Parkinson's. He's not gonna last.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Oh, yeah, he got into a train wreck. He's almost dead. You got a broken back. He

Adam CurryAdam Curry

doesn't look good. It's no good. There's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

a million things wrong with Putin. Yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

they can't even do a proper regime change anymore. You know why? Because the Russian people like him. They actually like us. The Russian people like Yeah, we like you guys. How are you doing? Good guys? Doing America. Send some more MTV our way. We love Europe, Dr Pepper and McDonald's. We just changed the name McDonald's the ski, McDonald's ski. So we're not falling for this nonsense, which, just as an aside, started 33 years ago. Just throw out a little magic number for you.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

There you go. That's a it was a good little exposition there.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Thank you. I have a surprising clip here. Since you brought this in the last week, the third hour of the CBS This Morning. Is that? What it was? That horrible

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

CBS This morning's new third hour with the with the two ding bats, and they, and one of them, by the way, the guy, Dokka Pol, or whatever his name is, is married to Katie tur, really, and he's had a vasectomy, and he brags about it. Does he look like a lesbian? And not yet, for fairly research, so he will totally look like a lesbian coming. It's coming. And he and I was looking him up to do some background on him and Katie Tur was way it seems that she was raised by two lesbians. Well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

her dad is trans, well, okay, and,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

and her middle name is bear, bear B, E, A, R, huh, Katie bear turd. Katie bertur, there's an

Adam CurryAdam Curry

interesting documentary about her dad. He was a very famous chopper pilot journalist in Los Angeles, and then one day he decided, all right, now I want to wear a dress. I'm a chick, yeah, it's a very it's things on

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

YouTube. But then he married, yeah, but he, I think, Well, I think she's estranged from him, yeah, because she's estranged from one, she's

Adam CurryAdam Curry

a transphobe.

Unknown

She is,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yeah, she knows she she likes it when it happens to little kids. She doesn't like it when it happens to her own family. That's, that's what I said. No, that's, well, that's pretty that was my takeaway. That was my takeaway from the documentary. It was, I had seen this. It's on Netflix. Maybe I've seen I was like, this is I had no idea, yeah, oh, she, she completely shunned him, yeah, uh, yeah. So what was the point of Katie Turner? I

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

don't think daughters in general like the idea of their dad not being their dad forever. Yeah?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Witness Bruce Jenner and the Kardashians. They kicked him out of the house. Go live in your own house. Anyway, they were having trouble explaining how airplanes work.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah. What's an airfoil? Well, turns airplanes, it's a mystery. It's a mystery how they fly.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Turns out, this is indeed a mystery. This is from the Scientific American podcast. You know, Scientific American,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

but which and the Scientific American around 1985 I think or 86 went woke the magazine has been downhill ever since, and it basically stinks

Adam CurryAdam Curry

and they can't explain so this doesn't surprise me. They can't explain how it works, either.

Unknown

How do planes stay in the air? Not even Einstein could figure that one out. After devising his general theory of relativity, he turned to a different problem, how plants fly. He even designed his own wing called the cat's back wing, but when it was tested, the unimpressed pilot reported that it flew like a quote, unquote, pregnant dunk. Yeah, that seemed to have been the last time Einstein grappled with aeronautics. From there, he focused on other things, like

finding a unified theory of everything, which apparent. Was easier than figuring out how planes fly. Now, make no mistake, we do actually understand how heavier than air flight works quite well. There are two classical theories, each is correct in application, but neither fully explains flight without leaving some unsightly loose threads. They are

incomplete. The first dates to 1738, via the mathematician Daniel Bernoulli, who modeled air as a fluid, Bernoulli postulated that a fluids pressure decreases as its velocity increases, and vice versa. So when air flows over a curved wing, it moves faster over the top than the bottom. That generates lift. But bernoullis theory did not adequately explain why planes can still fly inverted, or why their wings can work even when they're flat and not curved at

all. The second theory of flight traces back to our good friend Isaac Newton and his classical mechanics. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, right? Well, air has mass, and so when air is displaced by a wing cutting through it, other

air rises up underneath it, and that is lift. Newton's theory very nicely explains what bernoullis Couldn't like why inverted flight works and why Wings of many different shapes can still let you fly, but it doesn't fully explain why there's a region of low pressure atop the wing during flight, regardless of its shape. In many respects, modern approaches to modeling and explaining heavier than air flight trace back to

these two competing classic ideas. The problem is that real world systems are messy and complex and defy being squeezed into a shortly simple explanation like this video. So where does this leave us? Well, it may be true that not even aeronautical engineers fully understand how planes fly. Rest assured, they understand well enough to make flying in one very safe and very routine. I find

Adam CurryAdam Curry

it interesting that Scientific American was able to explain how WTC seven fell, but they can't explain why airplanes stay in the air.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I find this whole thing somewhat anti intellectual. Yes, these discussions that all of a sudden, why are they even talking about this. We know how they fly airfoils. And, yeah, you could say plane can fly upside down if it has enough power. I mean, a rocket flies it doesn't have an airfoil. Well, you go, how's that work?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Here's something I did not know until just recently, Fredericksburg, Texas native Jacob Brodbeck. Brodbeck who moved to Fredericksburg from Germany in 1846 in 1860 he flew with an airplane with a wing. Now this is 44 years before the Wright Brothers, with their Kitty Hawk design, and a model of this airplane is at the Gillespie airport, FBO. Now it only he only flew for 100 feet until he crashed into his brother's chicken coop. But he did fly before the Wright

brothers, and they used the same he had the wing design. He had a he had a he had a giant spring, so that where the Wright brothers had a, you know, bicycle mechanism where they were pedaling, he had just a prop with the spring. So went, and then it crashed, but it flew.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Bobby doggone, yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I'm telling you, that's why we celebrate him. He never got the recognition he deserved.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Frederick's pretty common and everything, you should find some predecessor to pretty much any invention, yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

like podcasting. Hey, man, I invented

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

some point, they've been trying to cut you out as a picture Forever, forever, if it wasn't for me,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

that's right, and I promoting you. I appreciate it on the Wikipedia relentlessly. I might add on the Wikipedia for podcasting. There's people like, No, I was I? I digitized my radio shows on cassette and put them on the internet, and I invented podcasting. Yeah, yeah, there'll be a lot of that. Oh, there is a lot of that. It's okay. There's no check in this, by the way, in case you just there's, there's no check, there's only the honor and even that, even that's taken away from

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

me. They tried to anyway. Yes, they did. Let's play a couple of tick tock clips. Oh,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

why not? It's has? It's been way too long since I've had some tick tock clips.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, these, I love these tick tock clips, because tick tock is really the voice of the voice of the people,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

the voice the voice of the people. Yes. And as we know, tick tock and and turban tossing will take down the Iranian regime.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I have two, okay, I have the I have what's called a says, bland man, but it's a black man. He's a black guy, and he's just speaking. Sheryl Hodge, I sent this to Mo and he's he said, Yeah, well, yeah, people have a clue something. What

Adam CurryAdam Curry

did why did you send this? Mo and what did you think

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

of this guy?

Unknown

If I were a rich white racist that hated black people, this is what I would do. I would handpick young black boys, mostly from single mother households who want to be rappers, and pay them millions of dollars to make music geared to destroying the black communities. I would make young black women become dependent on government assistance, but only

if there's no father in the home. I would dump drugs into poor black communities, incentivize them to sell it and use it to cope with their problems, then put them in prison. I would turn black women against black men, making them disrespect them and hate them. I will use black celebrities, daytime TV, magazines and media to help push this. I will then poison their food and make it cheap so that poor blacks can afford to buy it, which will slowly kill them off. Then I'll

implement liberal politicians and celebrities. They'll sell them truthful sounding lies. They'll pretend to relate to them. They'll make them think that Republicans are only for the rich and we're for the poor, even though we live in big houses and safe neighborhoods far away from you poor blacks. And for my final trick, I'll cut them off at the source. I'll stop them from reproducing. I'll make abortion their Get Out of Jail Free card. I won't even have to kill Black people. I'll

just stop them from ever being born. And now make sure black women have abortions at a much higher rate than white women. They'll never suspect a thing, because we'll make up some catchy slogan, something like, my body, my choice. Yeah, that'll get them. We'll keep them broke, emotional, childless and fatherless, and the best part is they'll still vote for us.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, congratulations. You just summed up 100 episodes over 350 hours of mofax with Adam curry in one minute and 28 seconds, that's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

yeah, so he felt this is similarly,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I'm sure he did

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

so, so that was that. And I the other one I have, which is, you know, over the dinner table this last week, we had JC lamenting, and I think it was backed up by pretty much everybody. You can't hire Gen Z people because they're they're asocial, they're they're not socialized correctly. They're dumb. They don't know that you should show up for work on time. They're they feel that they should be getting more money than they're getting. And it's just the whole thing is a mess.

And I thought that this woman and her quarters lament, uh, pretty much exemplify what I would think was a Gen Z dummy.

Here's a I'm an idiot, and here's why my laundry machine takes quarters naturally. I'm like, Where does one just get quarters? So I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna go on Amazon buy quarters. You can buy, like, rolls of quarters on Amazon. I'm like, perfect. I'll do that. I'm just like, 72 rolls for $10 that the math doesn't equal up, but that's a score. Like, I'm getting 1772 rolls of quarter sleeves and quarters in them for $10 like, I'm like, okay, stupid Amazon. Zoe money. Get the package empty.

It's just 72 plain quarter roll sleeves with no quarters in them. I don't really know what I was thinking.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I just went to Amazon. You can buy $10 worth of quarters 2024, uh, uncirculated quarters, I will say 2499 and yes, 999, for 72 piece performed, coin wrappers.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, she figured that the rappers came with the quarters in them for 999, no, the math doesn't make sense, but they're taking a beating. I'm all I'm all in this kind of idiocy is beyond not

Adam CurryAdam Curry

all Gen Z are idiots. John and many of them, listen to our show.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

No, we have no there. There's no such thing as an all idiot generation. It's just that there's too many of them. And the people, the ones who listen to our show, who are sharp, I'm assuming, I think most of them are, yeah, they all agree with this.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

They don't vote, so it doesn't matter.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

So California's got the plastic bags. I got a plastic couple clips of the plastic bag. You know, we had made plastic bags illegal? Yes, yes. And then we made them illegal again. Why did we make them illegal again? We made them illegal in 2017 2018, and, well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I thought you made so can you use paper bags? You're not allowed to use paper bags. No. Paper

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

is fine papers. But we used to always have paper bags before this the plastic bag. Are

Adam CurryAdam Curry

they completely outlawed? Or can you pay to use them?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Oh, well, this is this all covered in the story. 10 years

Unknown

ago, California approved the first statewide ban on plastic bags. And then something unexpected happened over the years, the state reported more plastic grocery bags and landfills now California is trying again with a new law NPR. Bill Chappell has been reporting on this story. Hey, Bill, Hey, glad to be here. So Bill, walk us through this

new California law. What does it do? Exactly? Well, starting in 2026 when customers go to a grocery store or lots of other retailers, they're going to have less options than they used to have. They're going to need to pay at least 10 cents for a paper bag, or put stuff in a reusable bag, or just carry it out in their hands. As we mentioned, California already had a ban. So what went wrong with it? The state was trying to ban the single use, thin bag that

everybody has seen and likely used. But stores could give shoppers different plastic bags for a small fee, just 10 cents, but those bags were thicker, and in theory, they were reusable, but in practice, that became an even bulkier type of bag waste. So those thicker plastic bags were like some sort of loophole for grocery stores or something. Well, that's how it kind of played out. You know, this law was first passed in 2014 and then there was this long delay

of getting it actually in force. What basically happened was these thicker bags sort of came on the scene during that delay, is my understanding. And the state's recycling agency CalRecycle, says nearly 100,000 more tons of plastic bags went into landfills in 2021 than in 2018 so if the overall goal was to cut down on how many of these bags were going to landfills, it totally did not work. I blame that. I blame Californians. You guys are polluting the earth. You horrible calories.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I'm not gonna argue this point with you. This

Adam CurryAdam Curry

is no good. What

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

you're doing. Stupid idea of banning the little bags in the first place, and they get nothing but these thick bags, which are now double use, but you can use them over and over, but nobody does that. They just throw them out,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yeah? Where you used to pick up dog poop and then throw it out?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah? Well, here we go at Part Two, explaining

Unknown

just a bit more. Ban also took place just before the covid 19 pandemic came in, experts started wondering, like trying to figure out how the coronavirus was spreading, reusable bags were actually banned from grocery stores for a while because there was a fear that bags could spread covid 19. Okay, so forgive me, but what is so bad about plastic bags? The plastic bag industry says These bags are recyclable, but that has been something that's been said for years and not done

for years. So when I talked to Cal Recycle, the state recycle agency, they told me they had not identified facilities that recycle plastic bags in the state of California. So these bags are, you know, they're thin, they're soft, they're really hard to process. They tend to jam up equipment, and that gets really expensive to fix, and shuts down a line where people have to go in and manually, like take stuff out.

So California officials are just saying there's a public perception in some quarters that plastics can be recycled really easily, but they're saying that's just not the case. And how does this ban fit into the bigger fight against, you know, just plastic waste in general, there's a lot of momentum right now for taking responsibility off of consumers and shifting it toward companies like toward plastic producers and oil and gas giants like ExxonMobil that

derived the polymers. So Governor Gavin Newsom signed this bill into law in late September, and the day after that, California's Attorney General sued ExxonMobil, saying the company has been deceiving people for years about how recyclable plastic even is. So this ban doesn't start to affect people in stores until 2026 so there's time for the landscape to shift some more between now and then. Oh brother,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Welcome to California.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

You know, I, I'm, I've stopped saying it. I mean, you're gonna go down with that ship. You're gonna go down you're going down with that ship since, oh, well, it's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

not going down yet. Since

Adam CurryAdam Curry

they brought up, uh, covid In the beginning of that clip, I've been waiting to do this. And by

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

the way, that that was a reminder that, if you remember, there it is of covid, if you touch something, you were gonna die. Yeah. And it was, I remember, going to a grocery store, and then people all masked up in this woman with her husband, and he grabbed some some hamburger buns or something, and she screamed at him. Somebody may have touched those that packaging, and they were just freaked out over the. And this is the era when you have to remember the people

wearing the mask, the visor and blue gloves. Remember these guys? Yes.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I mean, I only remember them from pictures because they were in your in your land in California. No,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

you had them too. No. Well, Austin, for sure,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Austin, yeah, I remember the day when I was like, I was so sick of I'm not, I'm going into whole foods without a mask. I remember that day and and no one seemed to care. Just one other guy looked at me he didn't have a mask, and went, hey, hey, got your brother.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yeah, because everyone thinks you were carrying,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

carrying disease. I've been waiting for a clip about this because I've been following it, and I have no idea who these Japanese dudes are, who's sitting at the desk and the panel, I know the story and and, and the story is self replicating, mRNA. And so I keep getting emails like, this is horrible. This is crazy. This is mRNA that replicates and that

spreads to other people. And it's a story. It's a story, and I could not get because a bunch of Japs, sorry, didn't mean for it to come out like that, but they just,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

they're just sitting there. There goes our audience, all

Adam CurryAdam Curry

three of them. How do I just talking? It's all subtitled, and voiceovers like, this is no good for the show. And then I get a clip. It's from the rescue the Republic rally, which took place in Washington, DC. Not a lot of exposure. I think there are about 20,000 people there, but it rained, so it kind of sucked. I think that really put a damper on the whole on the whole rally. But Dr Malone, who doesn't know him, he spoke, and he spoke about this very topic, so I wanted to share

that with the group. So

Unknown

here's what's going on. I just came back from Tokyo, where they had a 30,000 person rally because they're about to deploy self replicating RNA vaccines. Japan is being used as the guinea pigs for the world for this new technology. The Japanese people are calling this the third atomic bomb. This is being deployed in a cooperative agreement between a US company, our tourists, a Canadian, I'm sorry, a Australian company called CSL, and a Japanese company. Now, the CEO of the

Japanese company recently gave a press conference. What'd he say? He said, anybody that is spreading misinformation, we're going to go after him legally. We're going to try to have them jailed if you say anything against their self replicating. RNA vaccine technology that's never been rigorously tested. We don't know if it's going to infect other people. We don't

know if it's going to spread. We know it's going to replicate. We don't know if it's going to get into the brain of the elders in Japan, but we do know that if we say anything about these concerns, the CEO is going to come after us and try to put us in jail. That's the new world order. That's what we're coming into. That's what they want to implement on us. They want to shut us down. They want to prevent us from speaking. They

want to completely control the narrative. And they want to be able to deploy psychological warfare on all of you, to control you, to train you to respond to the fear narratives about avian influenza and monkeypox and whatever it is they want to deploy next, in order to control you, in order to teach you to shut up, sit down, stay in your homes and do what you're told. Now I'm not okay with that. I don't think you're okay with that, and I hope that you join all of us in fighting this new tyranny.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So I don't know, sounds a bit like they're gonna pull down the grid so we can't have votes. Sounds like

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

bull crap in some way or other. Well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

sir, Mark and Dave mastered will be

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

with that will be about this being jailed. First,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I ask if they have any self replicating RNA on them because, you know, stay away.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

They're from them. Sure. You can be certain they don't.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

And then I have one other big pharma story, which, as I was writing up the rundown for my clips and stuff this morning, I was typing too fast. And instead of Big Pharma, I wrote big Harma. I'm like, oh, that's kind of interesting. Cute, yes, this is the follow on from NPR about the the failure of 23andme and they have a nice little intro here with a reminder of how stupid everybody was to go along. Of this dumb scheme, despite despite warnings from your no agenda show.

Unknown

It was an idea that caught on, pay about 100 bucks for a saliva kit, and weeks later, learn all about your ancestry. The company behind this 23andme was a hit. It was worth billions. Oprah raved about it, and countless people took to social media to share their experience, like tiktoker. Danielle Edwards, okay, I did it, y'all. I finally took my 23andme kids. Jesus, all

right, spit in tube. So I'm concentrating. I'm trying to think about anything, but what I have to do, which is spitting in this tube. More than 14 million people spit in a 23andme tube. People were holding spit parties. The company was part of the zeitgeist, but there was one big business problem. Nobody needed to do a 23 me test twice. It was one and done, and now 23andme stock is worth pennies. Financial news networks like

CNBC have been blaring the news. It has since lost 99.9% of its value from a $6 billion market cap peak. Then there were two other big blows. Last year, the company was hit with a major data breach of customer passwords, and last week, its entire board of directors resigned. Some analysts say 23andme could go out of business by next year, which raises the question, what's going to happen with the genetic data has from millions of people.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

So we never realized at the time, and I'm kind of mad at myself for not saying, what kind of business is this, where you only have your there's no repeat business for customers. You spit once and you're done once. You got everybody to spit. What else do you have? And we we,

Unknown

well, we did shortly.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Yes, it was an obvious short, but, or put whatever the case, it's possible that if they had marketing people there that knew more than you know Sergey Brin, they would have come up with other things, other ancillary products, other things they could do, other services they could provide it to because you, when you have a customer, you capture a customer, you should be able to sell them other things, books. I mean, anything books. But they did nothing. They just they it's

their own fault. I mean, it's not very few. Most businesses are one and done. If you take it to a base level, and they come up with other ideas you got, you know, you get your repeat customers, not necessarily from buying a second car from your brand. So they didn't have any skills,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

right? And the big joke for us was, oh, you're gonna do the 23 of me, I'll bet you that there's at least 1% Ashkenazi Jew, because everybody had some Ashkenazi Jew in them. And now the question is, what is going to happen to the data of your Chinese, of your DNA? Well, here's the

Unknown

answer, even if the company goes under that data could change hands. That may surprise some customers. They might believe that the information is more protected than it actually is that's on your price. She's a law professor at the University of Iowa's College of Law who focuses on genetic privacy. She says federal health privacy protections like HIPAA don't apply here, since 23andme is

outside of the healthcare realm. What the company does depends on what customers agreed to when they signed up for the service. Some states like California and Florida do give consumers rights over their genetic data. If customers are really worried, they could ask for their samples to be withdrawn from these

databases under those laws. When I asked 23andme what it plans to do with all the genetic data if it goes out of business, a spokesman wouldn't say, but he did mention a partnership with pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline GSK which has been analyzing the data to try to find medical breakthroughs. 23andme says 80% of customers opted into this kind of research when they signed up. Company says the data is anonymous. Prince, thanks. If people now are second guessing that

decision, they might be out of luck. I couldn't go to GSK and say, hey, my sample was given to you. I want that taken out if it was anonymized, right? Because they're not going to re identify it just to pull it out of the database. The 23 me spokesman said the company is committed to being transparent with whatever happens to customer data, saying its core value is, quote, behind every data point is a human being, and

Adam CurryAdam Curry

there you go. You're screwed. GlaxoSmithKline has

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

that screw how you screwed? They say, I mean, tell me how you're screwed. Are they screwed?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

They say, it's anonymous. I'm not believing that. Well, let's

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

assume it is be anonymous or not anonymous. How are you screwed?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

If it's not anonymous, you're screwed if it's anonymous, maybe because they can create all kinds of things tailored for you to kill you.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Who's they? GlaxoSmithKline,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

why

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

would they do that? How are you screwed? I think you're exaggerating. Well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

why would moderna and Pfizer create for the sake of argument? Because

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I I agree it's a dumb idea to give this information away. Because. Because it could be weaponized in terms of a genetic, a genetic targeted virus that could be developed in China. Because, you know, if they're against, yes, go ahead, against the general, against all white people, against all black people. Yes. I mean, we've been trying to kill off the back black population in Africa, if you want to go conspiratorial, since the invention of AIDS, but

Adam CurryAdam Curry

they didn't Dietrich, they didn't spit in the tube. So, you know, you get

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

these people to volunteer their information, which is probably a mistake,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

yes, and everyone put it out there on ancestry, and they all uploaded to all these open source databases. Well, that

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

way they can find out who their relatives are, yeah,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

which also didn't turn out to be such a great idea. Yeah, I found a relative. I found my relatives. That guy's a douche. How many times I heard that story?

Unknown

Yeah? Anyway,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I played it more to say, listen to your no agenda show. We're not that dumb. We've tried to protect you,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I think so

Adam CurryAdam Curry

we're here for you.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

We I only have one clip that I can play before we finish. Actually, it's true. Since you brought this up, let's bring up the VAX clip. You know, they have to bring you. Know, we gotta. People aren't taking up on the vaxes. In fact, it's gotten out of control. People are so skeptical that we have this report, new data

Unknown

from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows a drop in vaccination rates among us kindergartners in the current school year as NPRs, Maria goy reports, the proportion of children with exemptions from vaccines rose to a record high compared to The 2023 school year. The CDC says about 127,000 kindergarten had exemptions from

at least one vaccine in the last school year. That's about 3.3% of all kindergarteners, an all time high overall, nearly 93% of kindergarteners had all the required vaccines during the last school year. Vaccination rates against measles dropped from the year before, and they remained below the 95% threshold considered crucial to prevent an outbreak in the community. Other CDC data show measles outbreaks are up this year compared to

last year. The new CDC data show coverage with MNR, DTaP, polio vaccine and varicella vaccine decreased among kindergarteners in more than 30 states. Ah, well,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

we're getting through to him. Finally. Did you have another one you wanted to play?

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Oh, you know, I mean, we could skip it, but let's see. Yes, I do have this. Because this really annoyed me. Somebody, one of our producers sent me this. This is from Nebraska, because when I heard this from Nebraska, Nebraska Public Radio, there's two gotchas in this little announcement I want you you'll spot them both immediately. It's about Nebraska's black maternal health month.

Unknown

Okay? Tuesday marks the beginning of Nebraska's black maternal health month. Advocates are using this time of year to bring awareness to health disparities among black birthing people. Nebraska Public Media's Cassidy arena was at the launch event. The US has the highest maternal mortality rates in the industrialized world, and Nebraska has one of the highest rates at 26.2% this is what Nebraska black maternal health month addresses. Ashley Spivey is the executive director of the

reproductive justice organization IB black girl. She says this month is the time to call for more support in black maternity care. We have an opportunity to have impactful change today, not tomorrow, not seven years from now, but right now we can make a commitment to changing the experiences for our black pregnant people and folks with the capacity for pregnancy and root that enjoying abundance.

Ivy, black girl will host maternal health events throughout the month, including networking events and community baby showers. I'm Cassidy arena Nebraska, public media news. I'm

Adam CurryAdam Curry

very confused by this report. What exactly is going on. They're doing baby show.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

There's a lot of virtue signaling about birthing people. Yes, I heard that burning people, and the other one was at the end of the clip, was, was, oh no, is the first one was birthing person, yes. And then the other one was birth, birthing people. I mean, they can't say woman, I guess in Nebraska, uh, if you're black, well, they also, yes, they

Adam CurryAdam Curry

also can't say maternal. Then, because maternal is very specific to matriarch, don't they have to change that as well.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

I don't know what they're up to. I just found it the clip to be one of those makes your teeth itch. Clip,

Unknown

donut. Donating to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab.

Unknown

sometimes Adam,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

all right. Pre tip.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I'm excited a preach. I

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

gotta know from Keith asking me, I recall mentioning something recently about a tool to save convert videos from other platforms into audio files, not really, but I want to say, if you want to con, you got your stuff going on in the computer, you want to convert to an audio file, get a free copy of Audacity. Oh, wow,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

that's your tip, huh? And

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

then, no, it's not my tip. Is the pre clip, pre tip. That's a pre tip. Okay, pre tip. So it audacity, what? And you have to Dick with the settings a little bit, but it will, it will record system audio. And then, so you just play a video, and you put, push the button and it'll record whatever is being played, and it turns into an audio file. And then you can screw with it.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

One I don't understand what this tip is. I'm confused.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Well, he wants to know what he can use to play good to create audio files on his computer. Well, what would you recommend?

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Well, no, but you didn't really explain how to do it. I mean, you've got, you've got to set up the output to the input. Yeah,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

no, as I said, it's, it takes a it's a little, sometimes it's complicated, but it will record the system's sound. Yes, yeah. You have to change a couple of settings here and there to get it to work on something. This is, I'm not going to go through the whole thing. These are tips. They're not tutorials.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

Audacity. There's your tip. Hey, are you starting to podcast? You should get Audacity is a tip to

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

tip, not a tutorial. That's my motto.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

All right. I need a new jingle, everybody. It's a tip, not a tutorial.

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

Anyway, my tip, real Tip of the Day. Oh, okay,

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I'm sorry I was, geez, that's a pre tip. Okay, well, you're confusing me. Now we don't the pre

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

time. You're easily confused. So let's I just want to recommend a TV show. Now if you get over the air broadcast, which everyone should do, get a cheap antenna, and you stick it on

Adam CurryAdam Curry

TVs. Have a 11 bucks, 11 bucks, whatever,

John C DvorakJohn C Dvorak

hover far away. You stick it on there and you point it at the whatever mountains nearby, or wherever you get your transmitters, and boom, you can get, like, 100 channels, probably, and NHK is usually in the package. Oh, so NHK has a show that I can't recommend enough, is called somewhere street somewhere, and it's a red and if you haven't seen this show, people, this is the travelog show you want to watch. Forget Rick Steves and all these people floating

around. No, somewhere Street is a fantastic show because that's the way most people actually travel. It's some random guy walking through some town, asking people about this and that, and just having casual conversations. Actually, it's kind of produced later, as you can tell, it's posted up as a cute for girls voice, Hi, how you doing? What are you doing? Oh, I can come into your house. They take into people's houses, into the grocery stores, into it's just a fabulous Travel Log

show. And if you, if you can find it, watch it. It's a killer.

Adam CurryAdam Curry

I think that's an excellent tip. I'm going to do that because I have an over the air antenna. Thanks to you sure you do, yes, you, of course you do somewhere street on NHK from Japan. Now that's a tip of the day. It's not

Unknown

good. Good news. It's good advice. John, C's Tip of the Day.
