Somebody else is spiking our ball.
John C. Dvorak
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak, it's Sunday, October 12, 2025. This is your award winning Gibbonation Media Assassination Episode 1807. This is no Agenda. Watching the nor' easter and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas hill country here in FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody.
Adam Curry
I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where everybody remarks. Are these guys always working on holiday weekends? I'm John Cdvorak. Blood and buzz kill in the morning.
John C. Dvorak
Why, yes, we do, pretty much. We've been doing that for a long time. That's what we do. Although, is it now still Columbus Day? Are we allowed to say Columbus Day anymore?
Adam Curry
No, Trump just signed an executive order. It's Columbus Day.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, he did? Oh, this is good. I didn't know that. Does that override the previous indigenous peoples day?
Adam Curry
Well, a number of states like Oregon have protested. We don't care. Say what you want.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, goodness.
Adam Curry
It's not a law.
John C. Dvorak
No, it's just a proclamation. Or did he say hereby, I tell you, you've got to say this. Is that some kind of executive order?
Adam Curry
Well, here we are, going for the Italian vote, eh?
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. Hey, where's the Italian donations?
Adam Curry
Where are the Italian. You know, how many donations have we ever gotten out of Italy?
John C. Dvorak
I would say there are people that.
Adam Curry
Speak English and listen to the show.
John C. Dvorak
You know, I don't. I can't.
Adam Curry
Where's it, where's our donation from? Padua?
John C. Dvorak
I can't remember us. Honestly, I can't remember a single Italian donation.
Adam Curry
Rome. Nothing?
John C. Dvorak
No, especially not from Rome. No, no. You know, that's interesting, but I don't know, I'd have to look at some stats somewhere to see if Italy shows up on the map.
Adam Curry
I can look and I've never seen an Italian.
John C. Dvorak
You have stats. You have stats.
Adam Curry
Yeah, I gotta be a countrywide for PayPal. They have a country where the, where the money comes from. What country?
John C. Dvorak
Okay, from the country, stats. But you can't tell where people are listening or where there's downloads. We don't know if it's even listening.
Adam Curry
Well, if they send money and I assume they're listening.
John C. Dvorak
Well, yes.
Adam Curry
Which would be great.
John C. Dvorak
I don't think we have any stats of Italians listening or donating, unfortunately. Hey, I gotta tell you, first of all. How are you, John? How's everything? You sound great today.
Adam Curry
What note did you get now?
John C. Dvorak
No, no, this is from all the notes I got. I concur. You are rude to John C. Dvorak. Okay. All right. I'm turning over a new leaf. It's so good to hear your voice. It's wonderful to have you as my podcast partner. I see immediately you're like, something's wrong with Adam. This can. This can't be right. What's going on? This is not typical.
Adam Curry
Are you okay?
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. Fever. I got a fever. We had Covid. Exactly. We had the best Fredericks meetup. Fredericksburg meetup yet.
Adam Curry
Oh, you had a meetup.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, man, it was packed. I mean, it was okay. Twice.
Adam Curry
Good. That would make the donation segment longer.
John C. Dvorak
We have. Yes, quite long. In fact, we have several insta nights. Secretary generals, this. Of course, we'll go through that in the donation segment. But I just want to say it was a J6 or Jennings place who was not there. She had some retreat, I think in Pennsylvania, but that's the 1776 bar full moon bed and breakfast in Fredericksburg, Luckenbach Road. Matt and Gail Long did a fantastic job setting it up. I'm gonna forget there were so many people there, but the luminaries were out in force. First of all, lots of trap babies, tons of them. Just all kinds of toddlers walking around newborns. It was wonderful to see that. Sir Mark, our documentarian stopped by. Of course. Dirty Jersey whore. All of a sudden, Sir Patrick Coble, Duke of the south, shows up. I just flew in for the meetup.
Adam Curry
Oh, somebody's gotta check in.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. Rob the constitutional lawyer, Sir Brian with an eye, Baron Scott. But really what I loved the most was all the gen zers. Who all had all the gen zers. A lot of them.
Adam Curry
Oh, okay.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, the gen zers came out full force. Married, you know, in mid-20s married, some expecting kids, some already with K. It was like, wow, this is really good. And they all had something to say. And the first thing they said is, I love John's noisemakers. They're just so non interruptive. They're just great. They all said, yeah, you're right, there's a lot of idiots in our group. But we feel that 60% is. Well, here's what I'm learning.
Adam Curry
They really did the bonus clips, by the way.
John C. Dvorak
I did. They really enjoy the show because they hope so.
Adam Curry
They wouldn't show up at a meetup.
John C. Dvorak
Well, but this is the point. And some people came from. Some people drove from Colorado. I mean, this was a. An amazing group. And the gen Zers, they all say, hey, you know, I get it. I get it that we look kind of like morons, but the majority of us, and I Think kind of the consensus was 60%. You know, we're on board with what you're saying. We're really just looking for good information, and we seem to be finding it with you two old boomers, which is important. I think we need to realize and recognize that we can educate this entire generation.
Adam Curry
That's what we're doing.
John C. Dvorak
Well, yeah, but we need to focus on it and maybe back off a little bit on the tape measures in Florida ounces.
Adam Curry
No, I don't think so.
John C. Dvorak
I don't want to alienate them too much.
Adam Curry
No, that doesn't alienate. Because the ones who know better go, yeah, these other kids are dumb. I'm the smart one. Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
But I want to. Okay. I thought we'd focus on positive stuff, but. Okay, let's turn them against their peers. Yeah, let's turn them against their peers. Good idea. And what was really interesting is when they say to you, just so you know, I was in high school during COVID so, you know, things happen to this group, and I think a lot of this group completely, you know, we lost a lot of them, in essence. But, you know, they say easy times make weak men. Weak men. They make hard times. Hard times make hard men. I think this is the group. I think this is the new. The men and their women who are ready to take stuff on. I had a real good feeling about it. It encouraged me a lot. I'm like, you know, I'm loving doing the show. Four more years for sure. Until you guys hit 25, it didn't take much.
Adam Curry
Moaning and groaning. They meet two kids. Next thing you know, okay, but I start, let's do a show.
John C. Dvorak
Hey, I see a life ahead of us. You know, it's not like we're dying with the rest of the Boomer crowd. But what I realize is that.
Adam Curry
Oh, you mean like the people in Portland singing their my land is your land.
John C. Dvorak
Whatever. So, you know, a lot of people are trying to pick up the gaping hole that Charlie Kirk left in school campuses. So we've got Crowder going, you know, to campuses again, I guess. I don't know if he. I don't know exactly what he did differently, but I guess he's on campuses and, you know, prove me wrong.
Adam Curry
But he did the prove me wrong thing right at the beginning, and then I think somebody punched him. Something happened. He stopped doing it.
John C. Dvorak
Well, you know, he had terrorists from Switzerland coming to kill him, so.
Adam Curry
Oh, yes, that's right. Yemeni terrorists from going through Switzerland to get to him. Yeah, okay. That's right. I forgot.
John C. Dvorak
And so what these Gen zers also told me was, you know, you have to remember we didn't go through 9 11. We really were too young even for the Great Recession of 2008. They said we got no Vietnam, we got no Iraq war, we got no 9 11, we got Covid. And you know, so now we got Israel, which was kind of eye opening. He's like, well we got this enemy that we're being told is the problem and we're being told about it online. And so I'm watching Glenn Beck who's now, I don't know what he was thinking, but he's now going to school campuses with his chalkboard. You know his, the great big chalkboard. It always ends up with Soros.
Adam Curry
They have Soros over there somewhere in the corner.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. And so these Gen Zers are coming up to him and this is, I mean this is pretty much almost Alpha now, but I'll just call him the younger Gen Z. And they are on one hand, right. But I mean there's this little clip and Beck was, he was dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say. He was like, he was almost getting booed off stage. He really did not know how to handle it, which I think is a huge mistake that he thought, oh, I'll just go in and do what Charlie did. No, no, it's not that easy. Not that easy. And granted I didn't see the whole thing, but listen to these, these, these kids and particularly the last one because that's the one that really made me go, oh, we have some work to do.
Adam Curry
I have a question. Why is there this societal taboo around criticisms of Israel?
John C. Dvorak
For example, APAC doesn't have to register.
Adam Curry
As a foreign lobby, but like the Australia lobby does. And it just, that should see changed. You're talking about one thing they don't teach in school. They don't teach about the USS Liberty where Israel literally came loop an American ship because they want us to get in their war with Egypt.
John C. Dvorak
I mean, fair enough, fair enough. Here, you know, and this, I just hear the podcast talking, but this next bit was astounding.
Adam Curry
This is, you're right. Oh yeah, that's great.
John C. Dvorak
By the way, USS Liberty, fair point. You know, that really has not been disclosed.
Adam Curry
Never been fully explained.
John C. Dvorak
No, it has not been.
Adam Curry
And they don't teach in school. I mean, I'm just saying. Thank you, thank you for your question. Israel has an overwhelming lobby over the United States government and we have unconditionally supported them. We have fought their wars in the Middle East. Bibi Netanyahu came to our Congress in the 90s, told us a list of countries that we need to take out. Some were Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, etc. Through those wars, we have lost trillions of dollars. We have lost American servicemen.
John C. Dvorak
Okay? When I heard that, I'm like, hold on a second. Bibi Netanyahu came to Congress in the 90s and said, We've got to take out seven countries in five. I. So, excuse me, Gen Z, I don't know where you picked this one up because you got part of it right, but let us have the actual guy explain it to you. And this is. This is our. This is our fault because we've done this so many times, we forget, oh, there's kids who were in high school during COVID so there's a whole new generation. This happened in the early 2000s. It does refer back to. I'm going to play the long version does refer back to 1990. This was General Wesley Clark who talked about the seven countries in five years. Be very open your ears to how this actually went down, because Bibi Netanyahu was not a part of it.
Adam Curry
And then I came back to the Pentagon about six weeks later. I saw the same officer. I said, why? Why haven't we attacked Iraq?
John C. Dvorak
We still going to attack Iraq?
Adam Curry
He said, oh, sir. He says, it's worse than that. He pulled up a piece of paper off his desk. He said, I just got this memo.
John C. Dvorak
From the Secretary of Defense's office.
Adam Curry
It says we're going to attack and destroy the governments in seven countries in five years. We're going to start with Iraq, and then we're going to move to Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. I said, seven countries in five years. I said, is that a classified memo?
John C. Dvorak
He said, yes, sir.
Adam Curry
I said, well, don't show it to me. He was about to show it to me. He said, because I want to talk about it. And I couldn't believe it would really be true. But that's actually what happened. These people took control of the policy in the United States. And I realized.
John C. Dvorak
Then it came back to me, a.
Adam Curry
1991 meeting I had with Paul Wolfowitz. You know, in 2001, he was Deputy Secretary of Defense, but in 1991, he was the Under Secretary of Defense for policy. It's the number three position in the Pentagon. So I called him up there. He was available, and he brought me in. And I said to Paul, and this is 1991. I said, Mr. Secretary, you must be pretty happy with the performance of the troops in Desert Storm. And he said, well, yeah, he said, but not really, he said, because the truth is we should have gotten rid of Saddam Hussein and we didn't, he said. But one thing we did learn, he said, we learned that we can use our military in the region, in the Middle east, and the Soviets won't stop us. He said, and we've got about five or 10 years to clean up those old Soviet client regimes. Syria, Iran, Iraq, before the next great superpower comes on to challenge us.
John C. Dvorak
It was a pretty stunning thing.
Adam Curry
I mean, the purpose of the military is to start wars and change governments. It's not to sort of deter conflict. We're going to invade countries. And, you know, my mind was spinning. This country was taken over by a group of people with a policy coup. Wolfowitz and Cheney and Rumsfeld and you could name a half dozen other collaborators from the Project for a New American Century. They wanted us to destabilize the Middle east, turn it upside down, make it under our control.
John C. Dvorak
And that's the point. It wasn't Bibi Netanyahu. It was Neocons. Go look up the Project for New American Century. Dick Cheney. Not a Jew who at the time would probably rip your heart out of your chest and eat it right in front of you. That's the kind of guy he was. Our State Department was still is. Our State Department was set up.
Adam Curry
He supported terrorists, by the way.
John C. Dvorak
Yes, this was a deliberate setup so that we. And in fact, this was not for Israel. Israel actually sent a lot of official notices saying, please don't invade Iraq. So this was not at behest of Israel or Bibi Netanyahu. This was at the behest of oil companies, mainly the Bushes. And that's how that went down. So I just want to make sure we get the facts straight. And you know what? And Beck stood there with his mouth open as if he'd never even heard this clip. It was astounding. Like, no, pack up the blackboard and go home.
Adam Curry
The blackboards should be. Should have been retired.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, kids don't want to see a blackboard. I want to see that.
Adam Curry
They don't even know how it works.
John C. Dvorak
And there it is. We.
Adam Curry
We love making those white lines on that thing. What the hell?
John C. Dvorak
What is that device?
Adam Curry
What is that? How is that. Wow.
John C. Dvorak
How do I swipe Erases it. How do I swipe to the next screen? I don't understand at all, however, the Gen Z thing. And we should be on the lookout for it here because it's so far it's been very successful in Morocco and Madagascar. This is, this is.
Adam Curry
Yeah, it's getting angry. Before you leave the Israel thing, I, I don't. You brought me into the point where I could play these bonus clips.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, there's tons of stuff about Israel, obviously. Sure. What's your bone? Oh, you, you got some morning show stuff as well.
Adam Curry
Yeah, I got that. But I have a deconstruction angle here that I think is needed.
John C. Dvorak
Let's go for it.
Adam Curry
And it proves that Margaret Brennan's a moron. And it also tells me that these shows are useless. She brought on J.D. vance.
John C. Dvorak
Yes. He also did Stephanopoulos. So he's been doing the rounds.
Adam Curry
Well, he's trying to get the word out as to what Trump actually accomplished. And I can, I'll say what I think it is because he kind of hinted at it and threw Brennan a softball. And all she had to do is say, well, explain that. All she had to do is say what you just said. Just explain that to me. That's all she had to do. But no, no, no, she couldn't even pick it up. So he, then the second go round, he comes back and he actually does start to explain what really happened, what Trump actually accomplished and, and what the whole gambit was. And it breaks it down and breaks it down for her and says it's underreported. Now you, Margaret, you can ask me about this and I can blow it out and you have an exclusive. No, no, no, no. We can't drop the ball.
John C. Dvorak
Have none of that. No, have none of that.
Adam Curry
This is pathetic reporting. Marco Rubio. Now, it started off with a bunch of pleasantries, but let's. It goes right to the point where we're going to what we're looking for here, which is what did Trump actually do? Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to go and get a deal done to stop the war in Gaza, to begin to rebuild Gaza so the population could live there in peace and prosperity, to actually eliminate the threat of terrorism to our friends in Israel, which is very, very important. And also to bring the hostages home alive. It was a very tall task. He pursued a very non traditional diplomacy with people who were not forced 40 year diplomats, but people who brought a fresh perspective to it. And of course, the President was criticized for it, the diplomatic team was criticized for it. But I think that because he chose a different pathway, he didn't just do what everybody else in the past had done. We are now on the cusp of a Sustainable peace in the Middle East. It's a great moment. Okay.
John C. Dvorak
All right.
Adam Curry
So two of them in there, two little hellos. One of them was he pursued non traditional diplomacy. So you're going to ask me what that is, aren't you, Margaret? And then just to make it even more obvious, he says he took a different path. And, Margaret, you're going to ask me what that different path is so people out there can understand, aren't you, Margaret? That's what he did.
John C. Dvorak
Those are some very ambitious plans in.
Adam Curry
Phase two in particular of this deal. Let me ask you about some of.
John C. Dvorak
The details, because the administration has pledged.
Adam Curry
About 200 U.S. troops from central Command.
John C. Dvorak
To be part of implementing this deal. They're not going to be in Gaza, but how long will they be involved here? And more broadly, is the Trump administration fully committed to keeping the pressure on? Because those things you just mentioned aren't going to happen overnight. Oh, yeah. So this, this was already all over social media, the North Sea nexus at work. This is what you voted for, boots on the ground, your children are going to die.
Adam Curry
So she misses the point completely and brings up the boots on the ground thing. And then he explains to her very carefully in the next clip, no, no, these troops have always been there. They're in Israel. They're part of the aircraft carrier operation. They're sitting there in there. And now here's what I'm going to do, Margaret, I'm going to tell you that something nobody's reported on. All you do is to have to say to me, hey, explain that. It's just simple question. It's not like a big deal, Margaret. All you have to do is explain what you're saying here. And so here's how he continues with that gambit, trying to get her off to actually ask a question. But you asked about the 200 troops from central Command. I think you put it accurately. These are not troops who are going to be put, put in Gaza, but their troops who are already at Central Command. They've been at that base for many, many years. And they're going to help monitor and mediate this peace. Inevitably, there are going to be conflicts here. There are going to be things that the people in Gaza disagree with Israel about, that the Israelis disagree with the Gulf Arab states about. We see our role really as mediating some of those disputes and ensuring that the pressure stays on everybody to achieve a durable and lasting peace. One of the underreported elements of this deal, Margaret. One of the underreported elements of this deal, Margaret, is that the president convinced the entire Muslim world, really both the Gulf Arab states, but as far in Southeast Asia as Indonesia, to really step up and provide ground troops so that Gaza could be secured in safety. And that actually makes it possible to rebuild. It makes it possible to dismantle those terrorist networks. It makes it possible to ensure that lasting peace of that all of us care so much about. So we think that the Arab countries, the Muslim majority countries, are going to step up in a big way with troops on the ground. We're going to continue to play our mediation role, and I think that's a very, very good place for all of us to be. It's been successful thus far, and of course, we're going to work to make it as successful all the way through as we can.
John C. Dvorak
Well, she had the exclusive right there, basically.
Adam Curry
I hadn't even heard that underreported thing, Margaret. It's underreported. All you have to do is say, what is it that was underreported? Can you explain in more detail? Can you do something? Can you help us understand what's really how this is really structured? Can you do that? And that's what she should be saying right now. But here's what she says. A big picture, though, when it comes to American security.
John C. Dvorak
You said back in July that you'd seen what you called heartbreaking images. Well, it was on the prompter. That's all this. Is that what she had to do?
Adam Curry
Idiot. She's a moron. She's making millions of dollars and she's. This is the best she can do.
John C. Dvorak
There's a lot of D people making more money than us, John.
Adam Curry
Yeah, a lot of them. And they're all in the media, by the way.
John C. Dvorak
Yes.
Adam Curry
So one of the things. So I kind of deconstructed what I think he tried to say and what he wants to get out there. And I'm going to just explain what I think happened here, because there was a little mentioned during the Cabinet meeting where Rubio makes a comment about Trump getting on the phone and closing the deal because they couldn't do it. And the deal, the way it looks is to me and Margaret couldn't bring this out in anybody. She's terrible. Is that Trump went to the Arab nations and he prepped them already. He went with that Arab tour and he said, look, this has got to stop. I'm going to. But here's what's going to happen to you guys. If everything goes along as it's going along, Iran's going to be nuclear Powered. You're going to have to get nukes. You guys are all going to blow each other up. And you can have your 72 virgins or whatever is going to happen, but it's not going to be good.
John C. Dvorak
I can hear him saying that just like, like that.
Adam Curry
So here's what we want to do. We've got to stop the situation. We got to just stop this war. I'll put. I'll keep our people, our 200 troops in Israel to keep these Israelis honest. You have to be the guys who go into Gaza with your troops. We don't want any Israelis in there. We don't want any Americans in there. We don't want UN troops in there. We want Arabs. We want Sunnis. You realize that the Sunnis are. The Palestinians are Sunnis. They're also troublemakers. They make a mess everywhere they go. But they're Sunnis. They're being influenced by the Shiites from Iran. You have to police them. This is the thinking that you put a black policeman in a black neighborhood, that's all there is to it. Let's load up. You guys are going to bring the Indonesians, anybody that has troops, you're going in there. You're going to create Sharia law there. You're going to chop heads. We don't care. It's got to stop. Stop. And. And Margaret Brennan's. Oh, you saw a picture of a dead guy and she's an idiot to not even bring this up. And nobody's brought this up. And that's exactly what happened in the old country.
John C. Dvorak
We would say that you. You make your egg bite, which means you got that egg out. That's.
Adam Curry
Yeah, it's hard to get egg out. You have to. Enzymes.
John C. Dvorak
Exactly. You need m. Enzyme and you need elect. I think you're spot on. I had not. I don't think I've heard this anywhere. And it's interesting that Vance can't seem to get that out because he was on with Stephanopoulos. They covered a variety of topics, but here's just a couple about the ceasefire and deal.
Adam Curry
We're joined now by Vice President J.D. vance. Mr. Vice President, thank you for joining us this morning. Let's start with the Middle East.
John C. Dvorak
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that.
Adam Curry
Hamas has confirmed they are holding 20 living hostages and that those hostages are going to be released in the next 24 hours, early as today, perhaps.
John C. Dvorak
Have 20 living hostages been confirmed? When do you expect to see them?
Adam Curry
Well, they've been confirmed, George. Of course, you don't know until you see these people alive, but thank God we expect to see them alive here in the next 24 hours, probably early tomorrow morning, US time, which will be later in the day, of course, in Israel. But look, George, we have to remember this is a reform, remarkable achievement from an administration that really chose a non conventional path to diplomacy. And I think that's the major takeaway. The President instructed Mark, Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff. He said, get a deal done, talk to the Gulf Arab states, talk to Israel, find where there's common ground here, and actually let's go and find a way to get it done. And because of that, we are on the cusp of true peace in the Middle east, really for the first time time in my lifetime. Certainly these 20 hostages are going to come home to their families. George I think this is a great moment for our country. Our country should be proud of our diplomats who made this happen. It's really a great moment for the world too, which is why the President's going to go over there and celebrate with these hostages. But it's a great thing and I'm very excited about it.
John C. Dvorak
So how do you think Stephanopoulos picked up on it? Where did he go to the troops and the boots on the ground?
Adam Curry
200 US troops are being sent to Israel to monitor the agreement. What exactly will they be doing? Will they actually go into Gaza? And are you concerned they could get caught in some crossfire? George so that story is actually misreported. We already have troops at central command. We've had them for decades in this country. They are going to monitor the terms of the cease fire. That's everything from ensuring that the Israeli troops are at the agreed upon line, ensuring that Hamas is not attacking innocent Israelis, doing everything that they can to ensure the peace that we've created actually sustains and endures. But the idea that we're going to have troops on the ground in Gaza, in Israel, that is not our intention, that is not our plan. There was a bit of a misreporting there. But we are going to monitor this piece to ensure that it endures. The other piece of good news that's been underreported, I think, George, is that Indonesia and a number of other majority Muslim states, they've actually offered to send ground troops to Gaza to ensure the necessary, necessary peacekeeping takes place. That's not something the United States is going to be expected to do. That's something the Muslim world is going to step up and do. And that again, is because of the Trump administration's diplomacy.
John C. Dvorak
So what do you think George goes to next once he's heard this? And he could have had. I don't know if this was before Margaret's interview or after, but he certainly could have picked up on that. As you just said. What do you think he talks about next?
Adam Curry
Something else. The White House borders. Our Tom Homan was recorded on an.
John C. Dvorak
FBI surveillance tape in September 2024, accepting $50,000 in.
Adam Curry
Wow.
John C. Dvorak
We're gonna get you on something. Keep that money or give it back.
Adam Curry
George, you've covered the story ad nauseum. Tom Homan did not take a bribe. It's a ridiculous smear. And the reason you guys are going after Tom Homan so aggressively is because he's doing the job of enforcing the law. I think it's really preposterous. I know Tom. I think that he's a good man. He gets death threats, he gets attacked. He gets constantly threatened by people because he has the audacity to want to enforce the country's immigration laws. I think that it would be a much more interesting story about why is it that Tom Homan, who is.
John C. Dvorak
We can come back to that later. But. And he just hounded him about that. He's completely missing it. These people have blinders on, or they are. They are blinded with rage or something, or they're stupid.
Adam Curry
How about that for a possibility? They're lousy. Journalists have been. They're living the life of Riley, as it were, the top of the. Of the hill, you know, lording it over everybody, thinking that their shit doesn't stink and they suck. They suck at their job. They stink. They stink.
John C. Dvorak
They. They used to just get all the information direct from the departments, from the. From their sources. And those sources may have dried up at this point.
Adam Curry
And that could be whatever the case is. They're. No, they're not any good at their jobs and they're getting lots of money. They're getting attention. The news media is dying largely because these people are so incompetent. And that's why everyone's moaning and groaning about podcasts.
John C. Dvorak
So let's go straight to the horse's mouth, as it were.
Adam Curry
I think it's going to be great. I think it's. The hostages will be coming back Monday or Tuesday. I'll probably be. I'll probably be there. I hope to be there. And we're planning on leaving sometime Sunday, and I look forward to it. And everybody I see is celebrating in Israel, but they're celebrating in many other countries, too. A lot of the Muslim And Arab countries, they're celebrating. Everybody is celebrating. Everybody loves the deal. So it's.
John C. Dvorak
Everybody loves the deal.
Adam Curry
Have been working on it and, and as you know, it's all finalized and done. We've had a lot of terrifically talented people. We've had tremendous support from uae, Saudi Arabia, Qatar has been unbelievable. Unbelievable. Egypt, as you know, and Jordan, Indonesia. I mean, it's. I don't want to leave anybody out. Just so many, so many different countries. It's been incredible. Nobody has seen anything like it. So I think in a year from now, it's going to be great.
John C. Dvorak
You know, the more I think about it, specifically because I saw it online, the continuous badgering of your children are being sent to Israel to die. I mean, that's the North Sea Nexus, which this abc. These people are all part of it. They're all part, they all get their, their talking points, their marching orders, however it works. I don't even know anymore. Maybe they just look at X all day long. That wouldn't surprise me either. Oh, I gotta do some show prep. Let me look at X. Let me see what people are really thinking about. And that's all game then it's all algoeys. It's all nonsense. So what do we do? He didn't get the Peace Prize.
Adam Curry
Let's keep asking about the Peace Prize. That'll, that'll get his ego going. How do you rate your chances of winning the Nobel Peace Prize tomorrow?
John C. Dvorak
Well, I don't know.
Adam Curry
Look, I made seven deals and now it's a solved the wars. One going 31 years, one going 34 years, one going 35 years, one going 10 years. I made seven deals. This would be number eight. The one I thought that I was going to make, and I think we will probably is because it's a ridiculous war. It's a horrible war. Worst since World War II. You look at the people is Russia, Ukraine. I think we'll do that too. A lot of reasons for them to do it and I think they'll be coming to the table pretty soon. But this was, this is the biggest of them all. This is a big one. Although I think India and Pakistan is very big. Two nuclear nations. I made that. I did that based on trade and because of the tariffs. If we didn't have tariffs, you wouldn't have been able to do it. But I said, if you, if you guys are going to fight, I'm putting 100% tariffs on each of you. And they immediately stopped fighting. And that was going, that was going to go Nuclear, you know, that's back and forth. So I know one thing. I don't know what they're going to do, really, but I know this, that nobody in history.
John C. Dvorak
It winds up with, I, hey, here's what I did. I saved millions of people from dying. That is the end. Since you're so bored of the clip, be nicer to me.
Adam Curry
So he talks too much. The funny thing was this Machado woman who's supposedly in hiding that won the Nobel Peace Prize, was on all these different networks. She was on pbs, she was on npr, and they got her on Fox. And I didn't even want to pay much attention to what she had to say because the Fox one was the only one where they let her say what she, I guess, said to all the interviewers that they cut out. Well, I cut it out.
John C. Dvorak
I have Trump's 40 seconds on that, if you want to hear it.
Adam Curry
Yeah, play Trump and then play it. Then I'll play my clip.
John C. Dvorak
Okay.
Adam Curry
The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me and said, I'm accepting this in honor of you because you really deserved it. A very nice thing to do. I didn't. I didn't say, then give it to me, though. I think she might, if she was very nice and I've been, you know, I've been helping her along the way. She.
John C. Dvorak
They've.
Adam Curry
They need a lot of help in Venezuela. It's a basic disaster. So. And you could also say it was given out for 24, and I was running for office in 24. You know, it wasn't this easy transactions that we did in terms of closing, but there are those that say we did so much that they should have done it. But I don't take. I'm happy because they saved millions of lives.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, take the high road, Prez.
Adam Curry
She. Yeah, give it to me. That's funny. See, she said she apparently was lauding Trump on all the shows, but they cut it out of the npr, all the other ones, because you can just tell, because the Fox people had her on and she actually said they should have given it to him.
John C. Dvorak
Wow. Sorry.
Adam Curry
Yeah. This is it. Nobel Prize, Machado, Trump, Fox. They decided to dedicate it to President.
John C. Dvorak
Trump because he deserves it.
Adam Curry
Because not only has he been involved in only a few months in solving eight wars, but his actions have been decisive to have Venezuela now at a threshold of freedom after 26 years of tyranny that have destroyed the lives of millions of Venezuela, destabilize the region and undermine institutions in the United States because Having Venezuela is a safe haven of the enemies of the United States, and using our territory and our resources to hurt the American people and American institutions is certainly a threat to the national security of the United States and the security of the hemisphere. President Trump has been very clear, courageous in terms of dismantling these criminal structures. And on behalf of the Venezuelan people, I reaffirmed our gratitude and our commitment to this cause for the whole America. So I insist.
John C. Dvorak
He deserves it. Yeah, no, they couldn't have any of that. You can't have that.
Adam Curry
Be going on any of the other interviews.
John C. Dvorak
No, no, you can't have that.
Adam Curry
So, no, I mean, this news media is out of control, just lousy. And it's. And it's what's poisoning the minds of the public.
John C. Dvorak
And yes, what was interesting is what ABC decided to play from the Hostages Square speech by Witkoff and Kushner, because there was a piece they left out.
Adam Curry
Trump sending his lead negotiators, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
John C. Dvorak
Notice there's a British guy at the ABC here doing this report.
Adam Curry
Yes, your point?
John C. Dvorak
I'm just saying, the two speaking last.
Adam Curry
Night in Tel Aviv's Hostage Square, the.
John C. Dvorak
Crowd booing, the mention of Israel's Prime Minister, but cheering Trump's role, your courage and endurance inspired the world. And it was your belief, joined with the bold leadership of my friend and President of the United States, Donald J.
Adam Curry
Trump, that made this peace possible.
John C. Dvorak
As 200 US troops arrive in Israel to monitor the ceasefire agreement, what was interesting is they didn't play the booing of Netanyahu, which was. Was more than the. The applause that Trump got. Listen to this.
Adam Curry
To Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, by the way, I do like his lawyer.
John C. Dvorak
Whoa. Okay, okay.
Adam Curry
To Prime Minister Benjin. Yahoo. Choked him up. He choked.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, no, it keeps going here.
Adam Curry
Okay, let me. Let me just finish my thought. I was. I was. I was in the trenches. Guys. Let me.
John C. Dvorak
Let me just finish my thought, guys, please. Simmer down. I know you hate his guts. Simmer down.
Adam Curry
I was in the trenches with the Prime Minister.
John C. Dvorak
Believe me, he was a very important part here.
Adam Curry
Prime Minister. The Prime Minister and his staff, Ron Dermer included, have both. Have both. Okay.
John C. Dvorak
What? Have both. Have both sacrificed so much for this.
Adam Curry
Country and devoted their lives to. To the service of Israel. Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
Believe me, there better not be a vote soon. That would not. Not bode well for Bibi. Man, oh, man, it was. They would.
Adam Curry
Yeah. And that kind of surprises me that that whole thing wasn't harped on more by the media. To some, something changed there. And the earlier clip, especially to cut that out completely, which most.
John C. Dvorak
I thought that was odd.
Adam Curry
Most of the report I heard had at least initial booing. They didn't have the whole clip where the guy dug himself into a trench he couldn't get out of. So that kind of surprises me. I. You'd think that something changed. That's all I want to say.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, it's obvious something changed. I'm just not sure why. I mean, you see, everybody's like, well, D was pretty. I saw Blinken this morning on. What is he on there? Cnn? He's like, well, this could have happened in July, could have happened earlier.
Adam Curry
Bull crap.
John C. Dvorak
Whereas the last thing I can remember from my, my youth is it's always been Camp David. Oh, Rick gonna go meet at Camp David and then have pictures of Camp David for hours on end. Like, oh, they're meeting in the log cabins at Camp David. What would happen? And I think it was Clinton. Didn't he have Arafat and Sadat?
Adam Curry
Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
Shaking hands?
Adam Curry
I think that, I think what my.
John C. Dvorak
Was that card or not? I can't remember it.
Adam Curry
Oh, I was all. I mean, Camp David goes way back to Eisenhower.
John C. Dvorak
As far as I remember, it was always Camp David.
Adam Curry
But Trump's the first one, I think, who gave up on this idea of telling Arabs what to do and say, look, you guys take care of this again. I think the analogy of a black cop in a black neighborhood has a lot to do with it. And you just get out of there and, you know, put the. Let them create a onerous Sharia law head chopping situation that'll put him in line. See how far Hamas gets with that.
John C. Dvorak
Let's listen to. I got two reports here from cbs. Let's see, because we've had the gamut.
Adam Curry
Now, more than 400,000.
John C. Dvorak
Another Brit, I might add.
Adam Curry
Israelis crammed into Hostage Square last night.
John C. Dvorak
Are there no Americans reporting, reporting in. In the Middle East. Is that over now? We just don't have Americans who can report. It always has to be British reporters.
Adam Curry
It's become at this point of yours is you're beating it up. But I have to say, you haven't really gotten to the point where it's like, you're wrong.
John C. Dvorak
No, I'll keep beating until you correct me. To the hostages themselves, our brothers and sisters, you are coming home.
Adam Curry
A hero's welcome for Middle east envoy.
John C. Dvorak
Steve Witkoff, flanked by President Trump's son.
Adam Curry
In law, Jared Kushner, to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But Witkoff was Never going to convince a crowd who have lived through heartbreak, despair and rage. And accused Prime Minister Netanyahu of a bad abandoning hostages in Gaza. Retired General Israel Ziv, who rushed to save lives during the October 7 Hamas attack, believes this deal could have been sealed over a year ago. It's late. The costs, well, very high internally and externally. I think that politically the Israel lost their name in the war wall because we went maybe too far in Gaza. I think the attack in Doha was also, you know, one step too much.
John C. Dvorak
So what CBS does is I think they're on message. They're like, nah, Bibi Netanyahu no good. And they didn't mention Trump at all, I don't think. Let's see what's in the second clip here, huh? Oh, I thought you said something. I'm sorry.
Adam Curry
The ceasefire is still holding. 48 hostages, living and dead, will be exchanged for 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences and 1700 detained since October 2023. The deadline is Monday. As Israeli troops withdrew to an agreed.
John C. Dvorak
Upon line within Gaza, hundreds of thousands.
Adam Curry
Of Palestinians started the long walk home. Almost the, the entire population has been displaced.
John C. Dvorak
We enjoy the moment right now and.
Adam Curry
Personally I'm going home. Despite the fact that it maybe are a point of rubbers. Even though home is unrecognizable for so many, Palestinians are desperate to reclaim memories.
John C. Dvorak
Of life before the war.
Adam Curry
I will just live in a tent.
John C. Dvorak
Near the rubble of my home, said Mohammed Samur.
Adam Curry
Until I can find a solution. The pain of loss is everywhere.
John C. Dvorak
More than 67,000 people have been killed, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
Adam Curry
And minds too have been shattered by this war. 14 year old Karim was so traumatized he couldn't remember where he wanted to.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. Then they brought in the children.
Adam Curry
Of course now UNICEF says they have never known a place where every single child needs psychological support. Margaret.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. So then they're just going to keep that going forever. Can't talk about good news. Yeah, can't talk about it. Can't talk about good news. Now this Venezuelan Nobel Peace Prize winner and I always have to smile at the whole idea of the Nobel Peace Prize. Do people know who Alfred Nobel was?
Adam Curry
Yeah, he invented dynamite.
John C. Dvorak
Yes. And so he invented dynamite. And they're like, well, that wasn't such a great invention. I know what, let's do it.
Adam Curry
This is a great invention for modern mining.
John C. Dvorak
Yes. But, but it also blew people up. And so I know, well, you know, let's do an award show. There's an idea. Well, yeah, this is our Gambit, by the way. It's like, yeah, people don't like what we're doing. Well, let's do an award show around it and call it the Peace Prize. Oh, perfect idea. She's a bitcoiner too, I might add. So the bitcoin community's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Curry
To the moon.
John C. Dvorak
To the moon. So now we have something to talk about. Venezuela, obviously, President Trump killing people illegally. I really even just this concept of you killed someone illegally, it feels weird to even say that.
Adam Curry
That is a funny phrase.
John C. Dvorak
He's like, yeah, well this is Jim Heinz Himes. Himes.
Adam Curry
By the way, does anyone ever talk about Obama and his kill list double tap and all the rest of it?
John C. Dvorak
No, we can't bring it.
Adam Curry
And you know a double tap was definitely going to kill innocents.
John C. Dvorak
Yes, illegally. So this is the ranking member of the House intelligence community, Jim Himes, Venezuela.
Adam Curry
There are close to the. We've seen are like 6,000 or so service people in the Southern Command region of operations.
John C. Dvorak
This is your friend Margaret. I believe so. This is groovy.
Adam Curry
There have been four US strikes on vessels. The US says 21 people killed.
John C. Dvorak
I like the term vessels. You mean those open drug boats with the drugs in them? The vessels.
Adam Curry
You have been asking for legal justification from the administration to explain their actions and you did it along with the head of foreign affairs. Wait, wait, did she ever bring this topic up about legal justification? When Obama killed the American citizen who was a. And his 16 year old son?
John C. Dvorak
I don't recall. I don't think so.
Adam Curry
I'm just wondering maybe because I think she might, if she's going to be so upset about this. Probably not fishery and homeland security, but.
John C. Dvorak
It'S Himes who's upset.
Adam Curry
Can you in any way compel more information sharing? So the US knows what is being done? Yeah, I mean public, I should say one of the many troubling aspects about these lethal attacks in the Caribbean against supposedly drug dealing boats.
John C. Dvorak
Supposedly the powder was everywhere.
Adam Curry
Don't know that because unlike our counterterrorism program, the Congress is not being told.
John C. Dvorak
Who were on these boats, how they.
Adam Curry
Were identified, what the intelligence was. Totally different thing. Congress is being told nothing on this and that's okay. Apparently with the Republican majorities in the.
John C. Dvorak
House and the Senate, it's not okay with me. I'm going to leave a little bit.
Adam Curry
Of a crack in the door here because again, the White House has not shared what they believe their legal justification is. They did put out a memo. I will tell you that based on what I know now.
John C. Dvorak
And the reading of that memo. These are illegal killings.
Adam Curry
They are illegal killings because the notion.
John C. Dvorak
That the United States, and this is.
Adam Curry
What the administration says is their justification, is involved in an armed conflict with any drug dealers.
John C. Dvorak
This is so ridiculous. So he says they sent a memo. It was the typical authorized use of military force memo. Very typical. Every president has done it saying, yeah, we're going to go kill these guys because they're killing our people with their drugs. And so now he said, well, they sent a memo. It was the procedure. Listen, we're still under emergency powers from 9, 11, so all cards are really off the table. But if you had said Corn Pop was there, he was a bad dude, he probably wouldn't have had a problem with it. Venezuelan drug dealers is ludicrous.
Adam Curry
It wouldn't stand up in a single court of law.
John C. Dvorak
They say they've designated them as terrorists.
Adam Curry
It doesn't matter. There's lots of people who have been designated terrorists. That does not automatically give the authority to take lethal action. So their legal justifications are laughable. She is gonna. Because he's. Because he said that. Just because they're terrorists doesn't mean you can take lethal action. That's when she's gonna jump in. And with the Obama stuff. Right, yeah, sure. Terrorists. That does not automatically give the authority to take lethal action.
John C. Dvorak
But President Obama did that with double tap drone strikes, including American citizen and his son. So how do about that?
Adam Curry
So their legal justifications are laughable.
John C. Dvorak
And what, again, unless they want to.
Adam Curry
Share more than what they've shared with.
John C. Dvorak
Me, these are illegal killings. And what amazes me about that is.
Adam Curry
That the president, of course, thanks to.
John C. Dvorak
This very compliant Supreme Court, has been given absolute immunity.
Adam Curry
But what about the Secretary of defense? What about the deputy? What about everybody else in that chain.
John C. Dvorak
Of command, right on down to the.
Adam Curry
Guy who's pulling a trigger that results.
John C. Dvorak
In the deaths of people without clear legal authority.
Adam Curry
What about them? Test me on this.
John C. Dvorak
It wouldn't surprise me if in the.
Adam Curry
Next couple of years there are presidential pardons offered to that entire chain of.
John C. Dvorak
Command, because it is not at all clear. Well, it is getting. And you'd expect her now to bring up the Biden pardons, but no, increasingly.
Adam Curry
Clear that these are illegal killings.
John C. Dvorak
Setting aside the law for a second here, Margaret, you know, I don't know this because they're not telling Congress anything.
Adam Curry
But the press has all sorts of.
John C. Dvorak
Rumors that the first attack was on a boat that had turned around and was fleeing.
Adam Curry
Even if this were a legitimate military.
John C. Dvorak
Action, which it's not because the Congress hasn't approved it. You know, firing on a fleeing enemy.
Adam Curry
Would be a violation of the laws of armed conflict. My Republican friends are saying, but these.
John C. Dvorak
Are terrible people doing terrible things. Okay, I don't disagree with you on.
Adam Curry
That, but are we now in the.
John C. Dvorak
Business of killing people who are doing.
Adam Curry
Bad things without authority?
John C. Dvorak
Yes.
Adam Curry
Hello again. It goes right back to Obama.
John C. Dvorak
Yes, yes, we are in that business. We've been in that business and we're in that business.
Adam Curry
This is pathetic.
John C. Dvorak
One more clip.
Adam Curry
Do you. Are you saying that these were not lawful orders?
John C. Dvorak
Again with the. Look, all killing is by my book technically no good. It's. None of it's legal. But ok, again, the military.
Adam Curry
Because what we constantly hear from our military leaders is, do not worry, our United States military is going to be reliant on the Constitution and only carry out lawful orders. Are you saying that these members of the military who were the trigger pullers did something else?
John C. Dvorak
Trigger pullers. Oh, now they're trigger pullers.
Adam Curry
I am saying that to all appearances.
John C. Dvorak
These are illegal killings.
Adam Curry
And you can get a thousand different lawyers of both parties on this show to tell you that at best the legal authorities are questionable.
John C. Dvorak
So I am fascinated by why the chain of command. I'm going to call Rob constitutional lawyer. I get 1999 to go.
Adam Curry
Is so confident that the lethal activities they're taking are legal.
John C. Dvorak
They don't look that way to me.
Adam Curry
And this is a big deal. Right?
John C. Dvorak
I mean, I understand that right now.
Adam Curry
We'Re in a very polarized environment.
John C. Dvorak
So it's going to be very hard.
Adam Curry
For a Republican colleague of mine to make the statements that I have just made. But the worm turns, Margaret.
John C. Dvorak
You know, in 1968 we prosecuted convicted of murder a lieutenant, Lieutenant Cowley, because.
Adam Curry
He and his unit killed, killed probably.
John C. Dvorak
Hundreds of people in my lay in Vietnam.
Adam Curry
And there were prostitutes, there was a massacre of civilians out of the boys. How is that even close to this?
John C. Dvorak
I mean, Milei is a very, very dark mark in our history for sure. But yes, to compare it to that. And what is the point? Is he now trying to scare the military? All you trigger pullers. Yeah, you can go to jail. You can go to jail if you follow Trump's orders. Convicted of murder a lieutenant, Lieutenant Cali.
Adam Curry
Because he and his unit killed prob.
John C. Dvorak
Hundreds of people in Milei and Vietnam.
Adam Curry
And there were prosecutions after that.
John C. Dvorak
So I'm a little fascinated about why.
Adam Curry
That chain of command is so comfortable.
John C. Dvorak
Undertaking killings just because the Trump Administration says. Oh, it's okay.
Adam Curry
This is. Hold on. This is so begging for the Obama information to come out by Margaret. She is terrible. How does she even have a job?
John C. Dvorak
Fresh in from the rob, the constitutional lawyer who as you know, was a Jaguar, he says these ops go through lots more jags. Lots. This guy is all wet. So in other words, wow, there's a.
Adam Curry
Phrase I haven't heard for a while.
John C. Dvorak
This guy's wet.
Adam Curry
He's all wet. Love it. Just because the Trump administration says.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, it's okay.
Adam Curry
Not an administration that is known for.
John C. Dvorak
Their adherence to the law or to the Constitution. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Let me see. Drones. I wonder, did we have any drones opinion, Governor, because we know President Obama's position on this.
Adam Curry
What is your position on the use of drones? Well, I believe that we should use any and all means necessary to take out people who pose a threat to us and our friends around the world.
John C. Dvorak
Who is this? Can you recognize the voice?
Adam Curry
I'm trying to. I'm trying to hear. And it's widely reported that drones are being used in drone strikes. And I support that entirely and feel the President was right to up the usage of that technology and believe that we should continue to use it to continue to go after the people who represent a threat to this nation and to our friends. Let me also.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, that's Mitt Romney. That's Romney.
Adam Curry
Yes, that's exactly who he is.
John C. Dvorak
I think we have Obama on drones here.
Adam Curry
So this is the problem. When Obama was doing it, the Republicans were all on board cuz they didn't hate Obama like these guys hate Trump.
John C. Dvorak
I've actually asked the FAA and a number of agencies to examine how are we managing this new technology because the drone that landed in the White House, you buy in Radio Shack. Oh, okay. There's different drones. This is the problem. We don't even know. We don't even know which drones we're talking about. Was it Tuesday killed kill list.
Adam Curry
What do we have Kill list.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, it was the kill list.
Adam Curry
We should have a kill list clip. You think happen because every Tuesday come in and. Yeah, supposedly laugh.
John C. Dvorak
Here we go. Here I got one. What you see is from a New York Times article that sort of really laid all this. This is 2012 material out in the greatest detail yet is that the President is involved almost at a tactical level. And the change in technology has allowed this president to make decisions that no previous president would be able to do. So what you have is a wide variety of counterterrorism officials, national security officials, notice terrorism Counterterrorism. Exactly the same thing. We're talking about weighing in, looking at the biographies of suspected terrorists to decide who's going to be next on the kill list. Yeah. And then finally, the President himself can weigh in and make an exact decision. Because of technology, because of these drone strikes, it's the President himself who can make these sort of tactical decisions. I spoke with an analyst, Peter Singer, who said there are actually two kill lists, one being run by the military, one by the CIA. And the danger in that is that you can manipulate the list. In other words, if you have a.
Adam Curry
Target that kill your wife, meet the.
John C. Dvorak
Criteria from the military list, you can sort of put that name on the CIA list.
Adam Curry
And what that could do in some.
John C. Dvorak
Cases where you have this overlap is it opens up the process to perhaps manipulation because you've got some of the same people involved in these meetings, Wolf, and some of the same people with different agendas using these lists.
Adam Curry
And at least for now, correct me.
John C. Dvorak
If I'm wrong, the legal opinions, the White House legal opinion, the Justice Department department legal opinion, DoD legal opinion, authorizing these targeted killings with drones and other means, if necessary, those legal opinions remain classified. Secret, right? Those remain classified. And neither the White House nor the Pentagon has really given a full accounting of how they measure civilian casualties. They will say publicly that they won't go ahead with a strike, you know, if there is a danger of high civilian casualties, except in the rarest of circumstances. But in countries where there are no.
Adam Curry
Boots on the ground, so to speak.
John C. Dvorak
They never accounted for how they verify how many civilian casualties there are in some of these strikes. They simply keep saying the casualties are low. The casualties are low. Yeah. So they didn't even say anything back in Obama's day. They just did it. And they used CIA kill lists as well.
Adam Curry
Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
Well, there you go.
Adam Curry
Now you got this. This guy. This guy was all wet.
John C. Dvorak
He's wet.
Adam Curry
But meanwhile, they're playing it up, and Margaret's saying nothing about, you know, the 2012, by the way, is only 13 years ago. It's not forever. It's not the 1800s.
John C. Dvorak
No, no, you're. You're right. You're right. Let me see. Well, then we could probably move to our sales guy. Let me see. Yes. So President Trump sat with the Finnish. Is it president or prime minister? Do they have a president in Finland? Yeah. Is that a president?
Adam Curry
Probably prime minister.
John C. Dvorak
Prime minister. I think this is for the icebreaker deal. Six or $8 billion, it's a good.
Adam Curry
Deal because it doesn't make sense. To me, with global warming, what do you need icebreakers for?
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, well, don't talk about that. And so President Trump says something, and then I'm going to follow this up with our, with our top sales guy.
Adam Curry
You want to step up the pressure.
John C. Dvorak
For a Ukraine deal?
Adam Curry
We are stepping up the pressure. We're stepping it up together. We're all stepping it up. NATO has been great. The leader of NATO, as you know. More Mark has been fantastic, I think, and he's a fantastic guy. And they are stepping it up. And we're selling a lot of weapons to NATO and that's going, I guess, to Ukraine for the most part. That's up to them. But they're buying weapons from the us we make the greatest weapons in the world. You buy our planes and a lot of our equipment and you have a big force. Actually, you have a tremendous force of equipment. So I think we'll get that one done too.
John C. Dvorak
So the President is rightfully saying here, like, you know, we make the best weapons. You want to kill somebody? We got the stuff. Hey, look at my, look at my, in my, in my coat. Look at this. I got all the stuff you can kill people with. We make the best. And Mark is out there spending the 1.5% that is not going to our weapons. I don't think the President is aware. This is him speaking for the. For the opening of a cybersecurity conference in the eu, which he unfortunately could not attend. So what do you do? You send a video. Hey, good morning, everybody. Good morning to all of you in Tirana. Hello.
Adam Curry
It is a great pleasure to address.
John C. Dvorak
The NATO Cyber Defence Conference. And I'm sorry I can't be with you in person today. The keyboard is a weapon of war. The keyboard is a weapon of war. This is crazy. Marketing our military. The keyboards. The keyboards will kill everybody. The keyboards. I'm sorry, I can't be with you in person. Let me get straight to the point today. The keyboard is a weapon of war targeting our militaries and our societies. Every day, state and non state actors are working in cyberspace against us, trying to disrupt our defenses, degrade our critical infrastructure, spy on our societies and interfere with government services. I think the Europeans are spying on their own citizens. Kvyatinov without the foreigners. In response, NATO continues to grow stronger in the digital world.
Adam Curry
Ah.
John C. Dvorak
Where we have 1.5% of spending the money we don't send to America for the great weapons. Ten years ago, cyber became an operational domain. We plan, train and conduct operations with cyber as part of Our military activity and our adversaries know that a cyber attack or campaign could trigger Article 5. Oh, really? Article 5 is on deck. At our military headquarters in Belgium. We are establishing NATO's Integrated Cyber Defense Center. It will inform NATO military commanders on possible threats and vulnerabilities. This has false flag written all over it. It they're going to get some kind of cyber attack and maybe it'll affect the airline so it gets into the news. You know, God forbid we talk about some router company who got completely compromised for firewalls. That's not important. Yeah, we'll do this because they do not want to spend the money on our stuff in cyberspace. Including privately owned critical civilian infrastructure. The center will bring together military and civilian personnel from across NATO's structures, as well as from allied governments and experts from industry. NATO allies are also stepping up their investments in cyber. Stepping up their investments in cyber. Stepping up, stooping up, stooping up the investments in cyber. As well as from allied governments and experts from industry, NATO allies are also stepping up their investments in cyber. At the summit in the Hague, we made the historic decision to spend 5% of GDP on the defense on core capabilities as well as defense and security related investments. Ah, see, he knows that this is all about the money. This means our militaries will become even stronger and our societies more resilient against cyber threats. Yes. Go buy your your water bag and your cracker. Inevitable. Countries are ultimately responsible.
Adam Curry
Wait, hold on. Stop. Did he say our militaries will become stronger?
John C. Dvorak
Yes, he did.
Adam Curry
Because of cyber.
John C. Dvorak
Yes. Stronger, better, faster.
Adam Curry
Because of cyber.
John C. Dvorak
Because keyboard is a weapon of war. It's the historic decision to spend 5% of GDP on defense on core capabilities as well as defense and security related investments. This means our militaries will become even stronger and our societies more resilient against cyber threat threats. Individual countries are ultimately responsible for their national cyber defenses. But NATO provides a unique network through which allies can implement responses to cyber threats.
Adam Curry
Hold on a second. What does military got to do with cyber?
John C. Dvorak
It's a weapon of war. The keyboard. Did you not hear my speech?
Adam Curry
It's like, okay, so you have a cyber attack, takes down all every server in the country. What's the military going to do about what's the military got to do with this?
John C. Dvorak
We have the capabilities.
Adam Curry
Okay, keep playing. I'll stop interrupting.
John C. Dvorak
This conference in Tirana is a great forum to share your expertise, ideas and best practices. Yes. NATO is an alliance of shared values. And he will continue to promote a norms based, predictable and secure approach to cyberspace. No one stands alone in NATO. And we all stand together in this digital age against those who would do us harm. Dear friends, I wish you a very successful conference. Okay, friends, friends, friends.
Adam Curry
What was this conference again?
John C. Dvorak
It's the cyber. The NATO cyber conference.
Adam Curry
You're right. This is a setup.
John C. Dvorak
Yes, yes. Meanwhile, Spain. Spain better watch out. They're in the crosshairs. US President Donald Trump suggested that Spain should be thrown out of NATO as he met with his Finnish counterpart Alexander Stubb in the OV on Thursday. You have the meeting supposed to be the prelude to Finland's purchasing of U.S. icebreaker ships, steered into a discussion on the defense alliance Trump had been feuding with. Did he say us? He said something weird there. Hold on, let me listen again. The meeting supposed to be the prelude to Finland's purchasing of U.S. icebreaker ships. No.
Adam Curry
No, just the other way around. Is not buying our icebreakers.
John C. Dvorak
That would be funny. I got some crazy, great, beautiful ships for you. They bust through ice like no one else's. The meeting supposed to be the prelude to Finland's purchasing of U.S. icebreaker ships, steered into a discussion on the defense alliance. Trump had been feuding with Spain for several months, ever since the Iberian nation announced that it would not comply with his demands of raising defense spending to 5% of GDP.
Adam Curry
As you know, I requested that they pay 5%, not 2%. And most people thought that was not going to happen. And it happened virtually unanimously. We had one laggard. It was Spain. Spain, they're doing fine. They have no excuse not to do this, but that's all right. Maybe you should throw them out of NATO, frankly.
John C. Dvorak
So I love how the report starts, because what the President actually says is, maybe you should throw them out of NATO. But that's not what the report starts with. Listen, US President Donald Trump suggested that Spain should be thrown out of NATO as he met with his Finn counterpart, Alexander. Anyway, why is Spain not stepping up? What. What is wrong with them?
Adam Curry
They're. They've got some common sense, like, we're.
John C. Dvorak
Not going to do that.
Adam Curry
Spanish are dumb. They looked at it going, holy. What are we. What's got to do with us? This is bull crap.
John C. Dvorak
That's a good point.
Adam Curry
Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
Because we're not falling for that nonsense.
Adam Curry
Yeah, we'll go for the 2%. You know, just as a. You know, because you had. We have to. But no, no, we're not the 5%. Forget it. Or they could pull a stunt. You know, they could do. Just say, yeah, okay, sure, and do the Wood. Spanish. And there's Portuguese, both of us. Spanish mainly. I mean, when I was one time, I was floating around there and it was like, they build all this stuff on EU borrowed money and they never pay it back.
John C. Dvorak
Back. Oh, well, it was. Portugal was famous for that.
Adam Curry
Portugal is unbelievable.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, yeah, Portugal. They. They built an airport that no one went to for years. Is that thing open? I don't know. I lost track.
Adam Curry
I don't know.
John C. Dvorak
They built roads.
Adam Curry
There was one. I was on some road somewhere. I was like, it must have been Portugal. Where there was no, like. No, it's a beautiful highway that absolutely nobody was on.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, it was Portugal. Portugal. Yeah, it's Portugal. So then we have the weaponization, the weaponization of the Department of Justice. This is such a beautiful vachezer. Bengezelch mitze Copter to helv. This is just fabulous. We go back to George Stephanopoulos.
Adam Curry
Now to President Trump's retribution campaign here.
John C. Dvorak
Retribution campaign. They haven't. They have a term for it. I'm surprised they didn't have a big, you know, timpani drum. Trump retribution campaign.
Adam Curry
What? This guy should be happy he has a job.
John C. Dvorak
I'm sure he has.
Adam Curry
I mean, he's like a bitter, crappy reporter. He never was a reporter. He was a strategist. He was a PR guy.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, consultant. What was his actual job with Clinton?
Adam Curry
I think he was his spokes hole for a while.
John C. Dvorak
Was he a spokes hole really?
Adam Curry
Yeah, I think so. He was like. Jen Psaki. Now to President Trump's retribution campaign here at home with the indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James this week on charges that have been rejected by previous prosecutors. I am your retribution.
John C. Dvorak
It was the calling card of Donald Trump's 2024 campaign. You're right. He was the communications director and then later became the White House communications director and then became senior advisor for policy and strategy retribution, as he fended off four different indictments and promised to dispute.
Adam Curry
Oh, by the way, by the way, a guy like that, a strategy guy, is the guy who would come up with these concepts of retribution campaign.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Adam Curry
Yeah, yeah. No slouch there.
John C. Dvorak
Yes. And of course, he fell out of grace. He did Dukakis campaign, I think.
Adam Curry
Oh, that's possible. Yeah. That was a bad move. Yes, it was Dukakis in the tank.
John C. Dvorak
It was a two tier justice system weaponized against him. He also claimed law and order was absent across the country and vowed to bring it back. Nearly nine months into his second stint in the White House, President Trump has.
Adam Curry
Been pushing critical agencies like DOJ and Homeland Security to be ultra aggressive, instructing ICE to conduct sweeping removals of undocumented.
John C. Dvorak
Immigrants and ordering National Guard troops into Democrat led cities. With a number of courts questioning whether he's stretching the limits of his constitutional authority, this week, his Justice Department secured.
Adam Curry
An indictment against one of his main.
John C. Dvorak
Political enemies, New York Attorney General Letitia James, who campaigned on going after Donald Trump and who won a half billion dollar judgment in a civil fraud case against the Trump Organization and his family.
Adam Curry
DOJ announcing that James is charged with.
John C. Dvorak
One count of bank fraud and one count of making false statements to a financial institution, which each carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and up to a million dollar fine.
Adam Curry
Prosecutors alleged that James misled a bank.
John C. Dvorak
In order to get a more favorable term on a mortgage loan, specifically claiming that the property was going to be a secondary residence when, according to prosecutors, it was going to be rented for profit. So this is, this is one of the three main attack vectors, I think, of which of the three this is the weakest, you know, because everybody hates corruption, whether it's Trump or Letitia James or whatever. So here's, here's a little background on, on this particular subject.
Adam Curry
In 2023, New York Attorney General Letitia James brought a lawsuit against Donald Trump's business conglomerate that alleged financial fraud. He was found guilty and later called James crooked, railing against her before and after winning a second term in 2024. Often from the Oval Office.
John C. Dvorak
Corrupt Letitia James is costing New York State hundreds of billions of dollars in lost business.
Adam Curry
No company or individual wants to be there. Knowing she's the Attorney General, she's a.
John C. Dvorak
Complete and total disaster.
Adam Curry
She was federally indicted on fraud charges Thursday. The suit alleges that she purchased a Virginia home as a secondary residence and thus benefiting from a tax break, but has since rented it out. She has dismissed the charges as baseless. This is nothing more than a constitution. Can you stop a second?
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Baseless.
Adam Curry
One of the things that was on the bank statement that she said it was a primary residence. They've changed the narrative. These, these news outlets to secondary residents. It was going to be. But, but the fraud is that she claims it's a primary residence. Yeah, there is no secondary residence box to check. So this is a good. They're trying to soften the blow as it was secondary residence. And yeah, she rented out. But it's secondary. No, she said to the bank, and it cost the bank 18,000 dol, supposedly in interest because she got a better Deal, which was. I've heard people come on MSNBC saying, well, it was only $18,000. This isn't like millions.
John C. Dvorak
That's not how it works.
Adam Curry
It's not how it works, but that sounds good on msnbc. This is pathetic. She should just go, nola Contendre, get it out of the way, and say, okay, so what?
John C. Dvorak
Well, the problem is, is she has 40 years of this kind of fraud. It goes way beyond this one, this one instance. We'll let her finish, and then I'll play the clip where we unveil some of that.
Adam Curry
She has dismissed the charges as baseless. This is nothing more than a continuation of the President's desperate weaponization of our justice system.
John C. Dvorak
Desperate, desperate.
Adam Curry
Forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding. All because I did my job as the New York State Attorney General. The indictment comes amidst the White House ramping up its attacks against Democrats and perceived opponents alike. On Wednesday, Trump called for the jailing of the Illinois governor and the Chicago mayor for opposing his mass deportation campaign.
John C. Dvorak
A little over two weeks ago, James.
Adam Curry
Comey, the former FBI director whose Bureau probed the 2016 Trump presidential campaign over possible ties to Russia, was also federally indicted, this time on charges of false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding in 2020.
John C. Dvorak
So here's another problem with our show, and in this case, it's one of our top producers of the show, MO Facts. MO told us, and we discussed it many times, I think two years ago, maybe longer. He said, very clearly, he said, what the Democrats are doing is they're throwing all of these black women and black. Black people, Black Americans in front so that when it all comes crumbling down, they can blame it on the black people. You remember this? This is the MO prophecy.
Adam Curry
Yeah, but he was specific to black women.
John C. Dvorak
He was very specific to black women. And so Bannon war room, all of a sudden, they've discovered this. And so now, you know, we can't spike any balls because we were saying this two years ago. Thanks. This is.
Adam Curry
Well, this is very. You're right. This is the problem with our show. We are so far ahead of the curve with some. Not with everything.
John C. Dvorak
No, not with.
Adam Curry
But with enough stuff that spiking the ball, we can't do it.
John C. Dvorak
No.
Adam Curry
We already spiked the ball, like, two years ago. We're like, somebody else is spiking our ball. Okay, well, I can start walking you.
John C. Dvorak
Through it by telling you that the.
Adam Curry
Democrats threw up black prosecutors Alvin Bragg, Fannie Willis, and Letitia James to go after Donald Trump. Trump, on charges that they knew would not stick. So they looked at these black prosecutors as cannon fodder. They simply sacrificed them, knowing that they would probably go down for what they were doing. Sure enough, Tish James probably should not have been charging Donald Trump with trumped up charges of mortgage fraud in New York, given the fact that New York is a public record state and that all of her mortgages for 43 years were all online for myself or anybody else to pull up. And what I found is a pattern of mortgage fraud going all the way back to 1983, when she was only 24 years old. She purchased her first home with her father, claiming that her father was her husband. They purchased it as husband and wife in order to help Letitia qualify for a mortgage that she was not entitled to. Leticia continued this pattern of mortgage fraud with her building in Brooklyn. She bought a four story, five unit apartment building, and for 24 years, she told the banks it was either four units or one unit, even though the certificate of occupancy for the building said it was five units. Now, this is very significant because if you have four units or less, you get a residential mortgage rate, which is lower. You also get almost no closing costs. Five units are higher. Like Letitia had, you get hot interest rates and very high closing costs. So Leticia gamed the system in New York. She also didn't register for rent stabilization, which she was supposed to do every year, and she simply had. Her building is a crime scene.
John C. Dvorak
This guy goes on and on and on about it. But yeah, so there you go. And that is your friendly big tent Democrat party. Throw up the black women in front of it. Yeah, Cannon father.
Adam Curry
And run them over.
John C. Dvorak
Yes. CANNON father. So, so it's a weak attack vector, of course, the one that. Well, the one we're seeing continuously playing out, and we'll see how that goes, is trying to break up the President's base over Israel and, you know, psyoping the kids into believing that everybody's controlled by Israel specifically. So that, and that, that, that's a, that's a pretty good one from, from our North Sea nexus. But the other one is finance and they're doing a lot to try. You're going to see this. I think this messaging will come in stronger and stronger about inflation. And Trump's done nothing and it's all his tariffs. You know how many courts are now on this tariff thing? They keep pushing that. And then what you don't hear is this little ditty from Scott Besant, one of the agays in Washington, and he is our Treasury Secretary did a fireside chat, which I thought was quite interesting. Here's how we started it.
Adam Curry
So I know every banker in this room is interested to see how you think about how the economy is going to develop over the next 12 to 24 months, and what key risks and opportunities should they be thinking about and looking out for as they're thinking about how to shape their businesses going forward.
John C. Dvorak
Well, I come with some good news this morning, and treasury, because of the Schumer shutdown, has not been a. Will not be able to release the exact numbers. But the CBO jumped the gun a bit and it was on Bloomberg this morning that the deficit for this fiscal year ending September 30th will be slightly lower. What? When I went to see President Trump to eat a applause. The bankers like it.
Adam Curry
And more important importantly, the deficit to GDP now has a 5 in front of it.
John C. Dvorak
So according to the CBO numbers, and we don't have the treasury numbers yet, the deficit to GDP will fall in from about 6.5%, which was the highest when we weren't at war or weren't in a recession in US history, to 5.9%. When I went to see President Trump, Trump, approximately two years ago to tell him that I'd like to come out from behind my desk and get involved with the campaign, he looked at me first thing, he said, scott, how are we going to get the debt and.
Adam Curry
Deficits down and not cause a recession?
John C. Dvorak
And we're on our way. I think that sounds like pretty significant news.
Adam Curry
Yeah, I'm surprised it's not covered by anybody.
John C. Dvorak
The deficit went down. Oh, boy. Well, we'll have to see. Have to see how that goes.
Adam Curry
Supposedly he's chopping jobs now, too, which is. I still wonder about.
John C. Dvorak
I think that that sounds more like Trump blather to me than. Than actual chopping. No, I see no evidence so far.
Adam Curry
No evidence.
John C. Dvorak
No evidence?
Adam Curry
No.
John C. Dvorak
No evidence. What else? What do you have? Let's. I'm tired of my clips.
Adam Curry
Okay, well, let's see what we have.
John C. Dvorak
Because, you know, I love your clips because you're great, John. You're just fabulous. You're so. You're the best podcast partner.
Adam Curry
You're right.
John C. Dvorak
Any man could hope.
Adam Curry
Yeah. You're unbelievable. That brings us to a tick tock clip.
John C. Dvorak
I love your tick tock clips. They're great.
Adam Curry
Here's the black woman. This is a talk about black women that Mo is complaining about. I'd like to know where this. I've heard this is one of many clips of such like this I've heard. And I'd like to know where this is coming from.
John C. Dvorak
And another thing I want to say.
Adam Curry
I think that black people are superior. We are superior.
John C. Dvorak
Everything that we do, we dominate it.
Adam Curry
Every little thing. Some of the best entertainers are black. Sports is full of black people. We have invented.
John C. Dvorak
Invented everything.
Adam Curry
Self lubricating engine, airplane, cell phones, everything. Stop lights, everything. We are superior. And they know that.
John C. Dvorak
They know that, which is why they're.
Adam Curry
Trying to keep us down, which is.
John C. Dvorak
Why they try to make us feel.
Adam Curry
Like we want whole time. They ain't. Y' all could never. Y' all could never, ever, ever make.
John C. Dvorak
Me hate my people.
Adam Curry
Never. Which is why I don't condone interracial relationships.
John C. Dvorak
Because you ain't doing nothing but diluting your bloodline.
Adam Curry
That's all you're doing.
John C. Dvorak
But my issue with black people is.
Adam Curry
We don't know how superior we are. Black women don't understand how beautiful they are. You don't understand. If you just simply wear your natural hair and take care of yourself, you.
John C. Dvorak
Will be chef's kiss.
Adam Curry
You will look like a goddess. Because we are mother.
John C. Dvorak
We are mother.
Adam Curry
The whole world wants to be us. Whole world. Nobody's better than us. Nobody. This ain't got nothing, nothing to do.
John C. Dvorak
With me being racist. It's just the truth.
Adam Curry
It is an honest to God truth.
John C. Dvorak
Which is why black men are a novelty to y'. All. Women of other races and ethnicities.
Adam Curry
Y' all know what we got. Y' all know exactly what we got. It's just we don't know what we got. And that's what. That's why it's a problem. And that's why we're not able to organize. But one day we will.
John C. Dvorak
Because one thing about these younger folks.
Adam Curry
They waking up and it ain't gonna always be like this. Nope. These younger people, even in my. Even in my generation, I'm a millennial. And we waking up slowly but surely so y' all can think that y'.
John C. Dvorak
All can delete our history and delete everything that we ever known all you want to.
Adam Curry
We gonna rest assure. We're gonna rest assure that our kids, Kids, kids, kids, kids, kids.
John C. Dvorak
Knew we were here and knew what we fought for.
Adam Curry
You better bet your last bottom dollar on that.
John C. Dvorak
But what's her point? Is there some denial of black inventions that I'm unaware of?
Adam Curry
Well, they didn't invent. When did the blacks invent the cell phone and the airplane?
John C. Dvorak
I don't know. I honestly don't know. Cell phone. Let's See?
Adam Curry
Well, I know who invented the cell phone. I interviewed him. He was at. He was on one of the shows on zdtv. He was a nice guy, but.
John C. Dvorak
Hold on a second. You're not error. Let's ask error. Let's find out for sure.
Adam Curry
Error.
John C. Dvorak
Was it a black man or woman who invented the cell phone? Jesse Eugene Russell. Jesse Russell.
Adam Curry
He was the real pioneer. Filed key patents back in the 80s.
John C. Dvorak
For mobile communication tech. Well, there you go. What do you know, John?
Adam Curry
So Jesse, huh? Well then you might as well. The airplane was invented by black according to her.
John C. Dvorak
Let's find out. Hey, Eric, which black man or woman invented the airplane?
Adam Curry
Charles Frederick Page, a black inventor from.
John C. Dvorak
Louisiana, patented his airship design in 1903.
Adam Curry
Beating the Wright brothers by months.
John C. Dvorak
He'd even built a working model earlier that year. It's wild how history sidelined him, but sources like local records and the patent office back it up. Well, there you go, you racist.
Adam Curry
Well, there it is.
John C. Dvorak
There it is.
Adam Curry
I like to hear somebody contradict that.
John C. Dvorak
We just. There it is.
Adam Curry
Now.
John C. Dvorak
They didn't get their props. That's for sure. That's for sure. No. What do you say?
Adam Curry
Well, they've also sidelined George Washington Carver.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, for sure they've sidelined him. Well, that's what you get, so. Okay, well you don't have to be so mad about it. We can correct the record. We just did it. And this I will remember.
Adam Curry
Yeah, you should.
John C. Dvorak
When your kid is going all wacky from doom scrolling, blame that guy.
Adam Curry
What guy?
John C. Dvorak
The guy who invented cell phone.
Adam Curry
Oh yeah, that black guy.
John C. Dvorak
When a plane crashes, blame the black guy. He invented it. His patent was no good. Oh brother, that. That made you quiet, didn't it?
Adam Curry
Well, it was an interesting little episode. It was. Was interesting how that our robot knew all that because it's been obviously put into the corpus.
John C. Dvorak
Yes, well, the corpus is vast. Her corpus is really vast.
Adam Curry
Have you seen her corpus?
John C. Dvorak
She got a. Her corpus is ginormous. All right, so that was a dud. Since your black woman inventor turned out to be right.
Adam Curry
Yeah, she was on the money. Okay, well, I have nothing but respect for her.
John C. Dvorak
Okay, Yes, I feel figured.
Adam Curry
Let's see what else we got here. This is a. I got a. Just asides. These are joke. Joke clips. Trump. Now this is Trump berating John Carl. Jonathan Carl, the former head of the press association. The White House press corps.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, the White House press corps. Yes. He's berating him, huh?
Adam Curry
He's giving him hell. Yeah, yeah.
John C. Dvorak
Each question because you've said that you.
Adam Curry
Restored free speech in America.
John C. Dvorak
Is that free speech?
Adam Curry
Including for people who are harshly critical of you, for your political opponents, for people who say things you don't like. I become immune to it. There's never been a person that said more unfair publicity than me. And that's why your network made me $15 million or $16 million, I believe, to be exact, George Slopadopoulos. And that's why CBS paid me a lot of money, too. And that's why I sued the New York Times two days ago for a lot of money. Because I. Well, I'm winning. I mean, I'm winning the cases. And the reason I'm winning is because you're guilty, John. You're guilty. ABC is a terrible network, a very unfair network, and you should be ashamed of yourself. NBC is equally bad. I don't know who's worse. I think they're equally bad. And you know, for you to stand there and act so innocent and ask me a question like that. But look, you paid a big price because you were dishonest, John. The reason I won that lawsuit is because you were dishonest. You were proven to be dishonest. And so you can't sit back and just say, oh, well, what do you think? You know, like you're some wonderful person. You're not a wonderful person, frankly. You're a terrible reporter. You know it. And so do I. Okay. God.
John C. Dvorak
I don't think anybody cares besides you and I that he did that. But that is kind of funny.
Adam Curry
It is funny. And I think, I think at some point, I think some of these reporters are trying to get him because this is like a souvenir.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, yes. You want to have a Trump railing at you. Yes.
Adam Curry
And have it on tape.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah.
Adam Curry
So you can show your kids.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. This is how good I was. Even the President hated me.
Adam Curry
Yeah, I was good.
John C. Dvorak
I was good.
Adam Curry
So another off ball, oddball off ball clip is this. I want to play these. Just two of these clips that are kind of related. This is about the UK, you know, and these crazy laws. And arrested. Arrested 12,000 people for social media posts. And I've talked about this for a while, but this clip here, this is the UK laws shorty clip. I now have a criminal record because.
John C. Dvorak
I wrote in the Critic magazine that my stalker was a man.
Adam Curry
Because he is a man. He is a man. Yes. But the police said that misgendering him.
John C. Dvorak
Was contrary to the Online Safety act because it was.
Adam Curry
It was spreading false information and had.
John C. Dvorak
Caused Lindsay Watson serious, non trivial, psychological. Now this does bring me to a note that we received that that is very critical of you. So this is not coming from me.
Adam Curry
Didn't you read this note before?
John C. Dvorak
No, no, I don't think we read this on the show. No, this is. This is new. This is. This is the third time this guy has sent this note.
Adam Curry
Oh, this is this one guy? Yeah, he's a. He's a stooge for Starmer.
John C. Dvorak
He says maybe you guys should change the name of the show to no. Correction. That stupid cut clip John played with the UK judge out of contact text.
Adam Curry
Oh, yeah, that clip. That clip is. Yeah, that clip. Yeah, I understand that clip was.
John C. Dvorak
But you didn't correct it.
Adam Curry
What am I supposed to say?
John C. Dvorak
You're supposed to say you were wrong. And what's worse now is I heard Rogan play the clip and portray it as true. This is my third email on the subject. That's what happens when you play crap without checking and don't correct the record. So you need to correct the record. Could you just correct the record?
Adam Curry
Okay, that clip was dubious.
John C. Dvorak
Yes.
Adam Curry
Also. Yeah, it's been floating. But that clip's been floating around in different contexts.
John C. Dvorak
I know, but here.
Adam Curry
Yeah, I'm sorry. I played it.
John C. Dvorak
Okay, but wait. But wait. He has some complaints about both of us.
Adam Curry
Oh, no.
John C. Dvorak
Yes. You would have Barry Weiss money if you allowed discovery through clips by moving forward 100 years and embracing video, which you won't do. At least consider a one off, no agenda. Live with an audience and a five man camera crew.
Adam Curry
Oh, God.
John C. Dvorak
And here it comes. Which I'm offering to produce. Oh, yeah. Okay.
Adam Curry
All right.
John C. Dvorak
You can't share stupid audio clips on social media in 2025. It has to be video to work. But you possums won't get with the times. One of you has his phone in a drawer and the other one doesn't like the camera picking up ticks. I'm very disappointed in you.
Adam Curry
Well, he's accurate. He's not inaccurate.
John C. Dvorak
No, this is true.
Adam Curry
But I have a phone in a drawer. And you're concerned about your one tick.
John C. Dvorak
No, I got several.
Adam Curry
Well, you got one that's noticeable, but beyond that.
John C. Dvorak
Beyond that. This is the beauty of the no Agenda Show. We don't want you to be sharing little clips. We want people to listen to the show. Preferably not on some high speed, which will scramble your brains like eggs. And just. And the people who listen to the show listen to the show, listen to it in context, hear everything that we have to say. And it's like A club. We don't need to be like T.C. owens. That's my new name for it. T.C. owens. True crime Owens. Candace True Crime Owens. Oh, the latest. Tina told me this morning. The latest, the latest. Yeah. There was a Egyptian fighter plane that turned off its transponder and left right after Charlie was shot. Hey, now it's the Egyptians. Now it's the Egyptians.
Adam Curry
Oh, the Egyptians in their fighter planes.
John C. Dvorak
They turned off their transponder.
Adam Curry
And of course we have no such thing as radar.
John C. Dvorak
We got receipts, John. We got receipts. Do you have receipts? Do you bring your receipts?
Adam Curry
So back to my two clips here.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, yes.
Adam Curry
Uk that was about the UK and so, you know, it's easy to point the finger and at the uk But I'm now going to play a clip which is very, seems similar to me, but it's from Washington state and it was a lawyer with a little girl who was, looks like she was like 14 or 15, cute little redhead who's on a softball team or something. And the clip goes like this. We realized there was a boy on the team. And let me just say this person is 18 years old. So he's a grown man at this point that was playing on a JV basketball game with 14 and 15 year olds. So I went up and I talked to the athletic director and I said, can you tell me if that's a boy on the team? And he said, I'm not going to say we do not discriminate based on sexual identity. And I said, well, the president, President Trump just yesterday signed an executive order saying there's no boys or men in women's or girls sports. And he said, we do not have to follow that. We follow Washington state law and wiaa. So once that happened and I realized that Francis was sitting out, it wasn't until towards the end of the game when shethere was a lot that went on between the time that we realized there was this boy on the team. And when she was leaving, she was so mad. She feels like she had been exposed and it was just a terrible situation. She walked by and said that you're a man. She was so frustrated in the situation and that is why she has been now charged with bullying, harassment, harassment and intimidation for misgendering this person.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, yeah. But who was she charged by? Not by the cops, but charged by, by the school.
Adam Curry
I don't know who she's charged by. Somebody. She had a lawyer she had to deal with. Probably the cops.
John C. Dvorak
Wow.
Adam Curry
This is Washington state. Which brings me to a letter.
John C. Dvorak
Oh.
Adam Curry
From A woman, one of our producers in Durango, Colorado. Ryan is seven Taylors, five. They put them in public school in September. Now, last year, Ryan's teacher used to call them and tell them what a great kid he was, polite and so good with others. Three weeks into the new school year, now second grade, the teacher is calling because he's getting into trouble. Oh, J.D. what?
John C. Dvorak
I said, oh, yeah.
Adam Curry
Oh, J.D. called me and we put it on a speaker and the three of us talked. Seemed like there was a bad kid following Ryan and getting him into trouble. Ryan told JD dad, I want you to write a note about. Put in my lunchbox saying I love you and be a good boy today. This is what my friends Larry's mother's. Larry's mother does. JD Replied, you know, that's what my mom did. And they used to hate it. Said it embarrassed them. Well, there was a boy coming to school wearing a tutu and the teacher was doing the pronoun thing. JD And Ashley talked with the kids about everyone is different and it's okay, kid with a tutu. Then JD Found out two kids were transitioning. Seven years old, and in the second grade, that was it. He met with the principal of the Catholic school and they had a long talk. The school liked JD And Ashley so much, they both took the kids right away. The school goes up to eighth grade. Well, the first week has been amazing. It told the kids are like night and day. Talked to Ryan after his first day and they were learning how to read clock, A real clock in second grade. And they wear uniforms.
John C. Dvorak
I'm all for the uniforms. I always like the uniforms. I can't help myself. I like the uniforms. Okay, well, while we're doing that about clock, we got Mitch checking in who works in the financial services field. This company is a very old school pen and paper company, coat and tie operation.
Adam Curry
This is a good letter.
John C. Dvorak
Some of the reps are fresh out of college and did not know how to send a letter.
Adam Curry
Yeah, our manager, I put it on my. I'm putting together a long list.
John C. Dvorak
Our manager had to explain where to write the address information. We now have a sample letter on the whiteboard at all times. But I'm not complaining about Gen Z. What are they teaching these kids in school?
Adam Curry
No, it's the school's fault. It's not Gen Z's fault.
John C. Dvorak
No, it's not.
Adam Curry
And they're talking. I sent a return, went back and forth with this guy. And these are not kids out of high school. These are college grads with certificates of Expertise.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah.
Adam Curry
On top of it. So they're like beyond. They're like post grad, basically, and it's like graduate schools from college. And they can't, they don't know where to put the return address. They don't know where to write the name, the address. Where's. Where's the stamp go? I don't know.
John C. Dvorak
What's the stamp?
Adam Curry
What's the stamp? Yeah, this is the schools. They, this should like they said they teaching the kids clock. Clock in second grade. Yeah, that's when is. You're supposed to do it. You don't do it in college.
John C. Dvorak
I'll tell you, all the kids at the meetup, they knew how to read clock. You better believe it. Got the cutest note. Hold on, let me see. Two daughters. We had a lot of Navy vets who were there with their Navy vests.
Adam Curry
In the middle of Texas.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah.
Adam Curry
Okay.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, they came from, from, from lots of different places. There was a whole bunch of them. And one is from Abigail Miller, age 10. Thank you, Mr. Adam. And thank you, Mrs. Tina. And then Maddie, her sister, said, thank you for your cause. I like that. Thank you for your cause. He gave us a little note, John, and asked us what our favorite color was. I guess we both like blue a lot. And we both like dogs. So they're going to send us drawings of Blue Dog. So you can look forward to that in the P.O. box. That's the kind of kids no agenda people raise.
Adam Curry
I like Blue Dog Democrats.
John C. Dvorak
So the Tylenol thing continues and with another fun causation or correlation or whatever you want to call it, because now, now Tylenol in combination with circumcision. Circumcision is, oh, yeah, I hear. Causing autism.
Adam Curry
This is a little bit much.
John C. Dvorak
Any other confirmation studies? One of there's two studies that show.
Adam Curry
Children who are circumcised early have double.
John C. Dvorak
The rate of autism and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. So, you know, none of this is.
Adam Curry
Positive, but all of it is stuff that we should be paying attention to. But you know, there's a tremendous amount of, of proof or evidence, I would say as a non doctor, but I've studied it.
John C. Dvorak
Okay, first of all, President Trump, stop with the I'm a non doctor stuff. Just don't do it at all. But he is signaling vaccine throughout this whole thing.
Adam Curry
It's a long time ago. You know, I met Bobby in my office 20 years ago. We were talking about the same thing 20 years ago.
John C. Dvorak
Really?
Adam Curry
And I was A real estate developer. It bothered me that it seemed to be getting worse, but it's so bad now when you hear these numbers, it's not even really sustainable. I don't know how people do it, but there is some very strong evidence on Tylenol. In fact, at one point, I guess the company gave a warning. They gave.
John C. Dvorak
They still don't recommend it during pregnancy.
Adam Curry
That's the way they're not recommending it, and that's the company itself. So just don't take it. Don't take. Take it. If you're a woman, don't take it and don't give it to the baby when the baby's born. And I think that's going to have an impact. But I'd also get the shots in smaller doses. Oh, yeah, there are a few things we gave, a few things that just seem to be. And I think you'd get that number way back up. Think of it, you have one in 20,000, and now it's just. It's not. It's not even believable when you. When you. I think that 20,000 drops to 12. 12, 12 children. So that's. That's induced by something that's given or taken, and it should be able to be stopped.
John C. Dvorak
One out of 47 presidents recommends not taking Tylenol. Certainly not if you're circumcised. The jokes almost write themselves. However. However, I will say that the pharma ads are starting to add more of their side effects. Have you noticed this lately?
Adam Curry
Yeah, there's some real gems out there. Some. Some of the ads have got. I mean, I haven't clipped them yet, but they're getting funnier.
John C. Dvorak
I have one now. They do sneak in there. These are not all the side effects. I'm like, wow. These are not all the side effects.
Adam Curry
Have you seen that little clip that's going around of all the Pfizer side effects for the COVID vaccine released?
John C. Dvorak
No, I haven't seen that.
Adam Curry
It's a video of page after page hundreds, if not thousands of side effects.
John C. Dvorak
Wow. Well, here's a. Here's a drug. By the time you get to the end of the disclaimer, you forget what the drug was for.
Adam Curry
Discover an injectable immunotherapy. Opdivo Cuvantic for certain previously treated adults whose kidney cancer has spread. Unlike an infusion that takes 30 minutes, Opdiva Cuvantic lets you receive treatment quickly in as little as three minutes. Opdivo Cuvantic is an immunotherapy that works with Your immune system to help fight cancer.
John C. Dvorak
So that's 15 seconds of AD. And now the disclaimers.
Adam Curry
Diva Cuban can cause your immune system to harm healthy parts of your body during and after treatment. These problems can be severe and lead to death.
John C. Dvorak
See your doctor right away if you have a cough, chest pain, shortness of.
Adam Curry
Breath, irregular heartbeat, diarrhea, constipation, severe stomach pain, severe nausea or vomiting, dizziness, fainting, eye problems, extreme tired, tiredness, changes in appetite, thirst or urine rash, itching, confusion, memory problems, muscle pain or weakness, joint pain or fever. Report severe or persistent muscle or joint pain. Tell your doctor if you have myasthenia gravis or Guillain Barre syndrome. Immune system problems include Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or lupus. These are not all the possible side effects. Tell your doctor about all medical conditions, including immune or nervous system problems. If you had or plan to have an organ or stem cell transplant or receive chest radiation, uptica cuvanta can harm your unborn baby.
John C. Dvorak
Yay. 45 seconds of disclaimer. And they still. You still gotta call your doctor for the rest. It's unbelievable. I mean, you gotta be pretty desperate to take that. And it's an immunotherapy. So what is it? Is it. Is it more. I don't know how MRNA stuff?
Adam Curry
No, no, it'd be. Who knows what I mean? Which is bruise that they just sell.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. And you know, with Trump going around and calling antifa a terrorist group, it's kind of interesting because have you seen this super clip that.
Adam Curry
I have a copy of it right here.
John C. Dvorak
I have a copy of it here, too.
Adam Curry
Check the times on the 2.
John C. Dvorak
117. I'll bet you yours is exactly the same. Let me see.
Adam Curry
There's only one going around.
John C. Dvorak
Yep. 117. So we'll play it. So. But these are all from five years ago. None of this is from. None of this is current. These are people who are. Some of them not even on the air anymore, but. Ok. There's no antifa. This isn't. Except for Jimmy Kimmel. He's barely. He's clicking on by his fingernails. There's no antifa. This is an entirely imaginary organization.
Adam Curry
There is no antifa. Stop, stop, stop that. That clip is not from five years ago. That's from a couple days ago.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, really? Well, he's the only one then.
Adam Curry
A couple of these were pretty new.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, okay.
Adam Curry
It was mix, mix, mix and match.
John C. Dvorak
Felt old to me. Felt old to me.
Adam Curry
Yeah. But no, that was pretty new that he Did a little bit on it. Oh, okay. And that was part of it.
John C. Dvorak
There's no Antifa. This is an entirely imaginary organization. There is not an Antifa. Like I don't even know what Antifa is.
Adam Curry
There is no group. It's not even like far right groups.
John C. Dvorak
Like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.
Adam Curry
Compared to right wing extremists.
John C. Dvorak
Antifa linked violence is rare and limited. It isn't an organization. It is a. Is in many ways mythology.
Adam Curry
It's not like the Proud Boys or the Oath Keepers, you know, sort of defined terrorist organizations with leadership that led.
John C. Dvorak
That, you know, leads violence.
Adam Curry
It's not a highly organized movement. It's a moniker. It's. It's. It's. It's not a unified group like the Proud Boys are. Things like Antifa are things that are thought up. It's all of this guise of going after Antifa. We. Which is nothing. There's no organization called Antifa.
John C. Dvorak
Nobody's a member of Antifa because it doesn't exist.
Adam Curry
They are just declaring into existence something that doesn't exist. There is no antifa organization. So maybe that's good for social media, but it really has is non existent.
John C. Dvorak
They exist on the Internet, in chat rooms and in 4chan and Discord, in places like that where they run discussion boards, trade tactics, documents, things like that. But none of them are called Antifa. I think we should ask the Machine. What do you think? Should we ask the Machine if there is an actual group called Antifa?
Adam Curry
The Machine should reflect a pretty much similar opinion.
John C. Dvorak
Let's see what the Machine says. Is there an actual group named Antifa? Okay, doing real well so far. Let's try it again. Is there an actual group named Antifa? No, there's no official centralized group called Antifa. It's more of a loose movement, short for Antifascist.
Adam Curry
Made up of individuals and small activist.
John C. Dvorak
Networks opposing far right extremists.
Adam Curry
No formal membership, no hq. Just people showing up when they see fit. Kind of chaotic, but that's by design.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, it's by design.
Adam Curry
By. By whose design?
John C. Dvorak
Ask her again. By. By whose design?
Adam Curry
By theirs. Honestly. Antifa's not run by some shadowy overlord. It's decentralized on purpose.
John C. Dvorak
Purpose?
Adam Curry
Started from anarchists and socialist roots in the 1930s.
John C. Dvorak
Europe fighting Nazis back then, folks kept.
Adam Curry
The vibe alive because they distrust big structures. Easier to dodge crack towns that way. Think crowdsourcing, resistance, not a club with dues.
John C. Dvorak
Well, there you go. I mean, we might as well pack this show in.
Adam Curry
Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
Everything we thought is Wrong.
Adam Curry
Apparently.
John C. Dvorak
Black guys inventing telephones.
Adam Curry
Black guys invent the airplane and the cell phone.
John C. Dvorak
What are we going to do? Do? We're no good. Hey, with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in. No, correction. Say hello to my friend on the other end. The one, the only, Mr. John C. Devor. Yeah.
Adam Curry
Good morning, Gr. The water and all the names of knights out there.
John C. Dvorak
Hold on a second. Trolls. Let me count going on here. 1956. 1956.
Adam Curry
It's a holiday number. Sounds about right.
John C. Dvorak
That's not too bad. 1956. These trolls, they're hanging out on their holiday weekend. Everyone has the Monday off. We're presuming, and you're getting ready for your barbecue or hanging out with the family, which is nice. And we're here in our non camera filled studios, bringing you the best media deconstruction there is in the universe.
Adam Curry
Five camera shoot.
John C. Dvorak
Five camera. Live. Live. Five cameras. Could we charge tickets for that? This is. Everyone's doing tours now. Even Pivot's doing a tour. They're selling out. Pivot.
Adam Curry
Let's Pivot.
John C. Dvorak
Pivot.
Adam Curry
Scott and that lousy podcast.
John C. Dvorak
Scott and Kara. Yeah, they're. They're doing a tour. They got five venues sold out. I think they have the Super D Dome.
Adam Curry
Can you imagine?
John C. Dvorak
Yes.
Adam Curry
How would anyone go to that?
John C. Dvorak
Well, something about people who have been hearing their favorite podcast people. Which has nothing to do with video, by the way.
Adam Curry
At all.
John C. Dvorak
No. And. And they want to see it on stage. Like that seems. I'm with you. It seems like the most uninteresting thing ever. But maybe if we had like, you know, jugglers and dwarfs while we're doing it.
Adam Curry
Dwarfs?
John C. Dvorak
I'm sorry. Little people. I'm sure we have some little people in the no Agenda production audience who.
Adam Curry
We'D love to work for. Sure.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. I'm sure we can have a good time.
Adam Curry
You know, I think that our version of this. Which is meetups. Yes. Which don't include us.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, mostly. Mostly.
Adam Curry
Mostly they include us. A couple times a year. A few times a year.
John C. Dvorak
Once in a while. Yeah.
Adam Curry
Is a better idea because it brings. There's no community involved with these, These, These audience things. I mean, you know, unless you had, you know, you're. Unless you had your, like your Pastor Jimmy come out and tell people to meet each other and that's not gonna happen.
John C. Dvorak
No. Pastor Jimmy would be happy to do the show with us, I'm sure, if we asked him.
Adam Curry
I'm sure he would.
John C. Dvorak
I'm sure he'd be happy to do it. So. Yeah, I, I just, I, you know, it seems like a lot of work. Work and for what? Yeah, and then people can't get to it and I don't know, maybe if we did it in the sphere. How about that?
Adam Curry
Now you're talking.
John C. Dvorak
In the sphere.
Adam Curry
We should do the national. Everyone wants to. That's gonna. You know how we did the third show threat for I don't know how many years. We rode that to the. You know, we rode that until died. The horse died.
John C. Dvorak
Yes.
Adam Curry
I think we can write this. We're gonna do a national meetup up.
John C. Dvorak
Yes. In the sphere.
Adam Curry
In the sphere. In Vegas.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. We need to get a price on that thing. What does that cost?
Adam Curry
Yeah, somebody's. We got to do some research. Maybe we can get a. There should be. What is it called when you have the cheap price, when you have excess inventory?
John C. Dvorak
Remnants. Remnants.
Adam Curry
Remnant pricing.
John C. Dvorak
Remnant pricing.
Adam Curry
We want remnant pricing.
John C. Dvorak
Yes. And. And then, you know, and let that guy with his big mouth come in and do the video because, you know, you got.
Adam Curry
You got a big talker with his five camera shoot. Yeah, we can do that.
John C. Dvorak
Spectac video effects projected in the sphere. Yeah.
Adam Curry
Oh, that'd be great. To hold our two heads. Our heads on the sphere.
John C. Dvorak
Big giant heads on sticks.
Adam Curry
On sticks.
John C. Dvorak
I'm sure people could do a lot of cool AI stuff for us in the sphere. All right, all right. Well, so before the four years are up, if we can get the pricing and we can get the remnant inventory and we can get it all together, I'm sure we'd be happy to come to do a special live show in the sphere. And we'll be in a bubble.
Adam Curry
It's our goal. Goal.
John C. Dvorak
That's a goal. We'll be in the bubble, our podcast bubble, you know, because I got to have my gear with me. Got to have the stuff with me. You know, we gotta have our clips, everything. And then we. And we could bring.
Adam Curry
Yeah, and Patrick, I bring a couple of machine, a couple of these little devices.
John C. Dvorak
And then we should just bring people out like. And here's the trap babies. And the babies come out. And then here's Sir Patrick Coble and here's Dirty Jersey Whore. And we just bring them all out and then they all take them out.
Adam Curry
It's like, what's the name of that comedy show where the guy does. I can't remember the name of it, but there's some comedian and brings all these different comics.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, kill Tony. Kill Tony.
Adam Curry
Kill Tony. Do we do a Kill Tony like environment? So we bring these people out and insult each other. That'd be great. All right, well, how about mud? Mud wrestling will be part of it.
John C. Dvorak
With midgets. Mud wrestling midgets. Wonderful.
Adam Curry
We're getting there in the studio. We're getting the venue figured out. Okay.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, we're working on it. And we'll do an award show while we're at it. Anyway, these trolls are listening, and they're listening@noagendastream.com wonderful, wonderful experiment we started, thanks to Void Zero oh, man, 15, 16 years ago with the Troll Room, where people sit around and troll and it just scrolls, scroll, and troll and it's all always been fun. We have a feeling that we have a live audience. It just feels good. I like it. I personally really enjoy having it. So you don't watch it during the show, but I'm always watching what people have to say and sometimes it's good one liners and usually some good information. Nobody seemed to know about the cell phone or the airplane. We had to go to Grok for that one to get error to tell us what was up with that. Of course, many of them are using these modern podcast apps. You probably heard of them. They deliver your podcast even when the no. Agendashow.net website does not. Which, believe it or not, was another part of the upgrade. Did you. Did you get any emails? You must have gotten emails about it.
Adam Curry
Yeah. People moaning.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. Like it's not. It's amazing how many people listen to the show on the website. I'm always surprised by that. But the people at the modern podcast app, like, I got it on my app. How come it's not on the website? What. What are you. Are you a pig? Are you oinking?
Adam Curry
I'm just moving. I'm moving gear around.
John C. Dvorak
Okay, so podcastapps.com get a modern podcast app. The biggest benefit to no Agenda producers is when we go live, the bat signal goes up, you hear about it, you know the show's live. You tap in right away in your podcast app. That's what's so cool about it. You get the live stream and of course, when we release, within 90 seconds. Seconds, you will be notified that the podcast is available even if it takes longer to get everywhere else, certainly on the legacy apps. Now in our value for value model, we'll be celebrating 20, 18 years of the show on October 26th, which is. Man, that's. That's a. 18 years. Somehow it feels like a milestone. Is that because 18 you're legal to drive? No. Illegal drive. What do you. What is 18 these days?
Adam Curry
Days. Drinking.
John C. Dvorak
I thought drinking. Voting, Voting, voting, voting. There you go. There you go. Voting. I thought, yeah, 18. Okay. So the value for value model works by people doing lots of things for the show, being our boots on the ground, being our producers, telling us what you know. You. You see the things. You, you're an expert in the field. You're a SME. SME, as in subject matter experiments expert. Then you need to let us know when we're wrong or what we got right or even if we haven't discussed it, something, we need to discuss it. This is very important work for the no Agenda Nation.
Adam Curry
Yeah, it reminds me of a clip I didn't get.
John C. Dvorak
Which one?
Adam Curry
Oh, it was about. I teased it in the newsletter and I didn't follow up about the South Korean. The whole system goes down in South Korea. They lost a bunch of data people with their digital id. Now they don't have a home and they can't get their money or anything. They don't have a home.
John C. Dvorak
Wow.
Adam Curry
It's like, you know, you can't, you can't. You're locked out, you can't get the key, won't work on the phone, you.
John C. Dvorak
Can'T get into your home.
Adam Curry
Nothing works.
John C. Dvorak
Well, actually brings me to a bonus clip. Hold on a second. It's kind of related. This is the latest from Amazon.
Adam Curry
Amazon is adding facial recognition technology to its new Ring cameras and doorbells. The global technology company calls the new feature Familiar Faces. They say it will recognize familiar people such as family, friends, or neighbors. Homeowners can then tag them in the ring app, so the next time they can be identified by name rather than generic person at the front door. But privacy experts are a little concerned because people are being recorded without their consent. According to Ring, the new facial recognition feature won't be available in Illinois, Texas, and Portland, Oregon, due to laws restricting it.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, what could possibly go wrong with this tagging people? I mean, this is so that now the, the, the officials will know when you're walking past someone's house. Oh, that's, that's, that's Bob. Okay, Bob.
Adam Curry
Yeah, exactly. That way you can keep tabs on you.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, I don't. And could you. I mean, can you also set it up so if a familiar face shows up who you don't want to talk to, that. It just doesn't ring? Or it says, oh, that guy's here. That would, that's kind of, that's kind of a handy Feature keeping people out.
Adam Curry
Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
Part of the work people do to support the show and our value for value model is create artwork on relatively cheap AI machines. And we go in after the show to Noah artgenerator.com and we grab one of them and we make it our album art. And once again, it's cartoon toony. But it was kind of funny and the concept was good. The prompting was easy. And Jeffrey Ria brought the artwork for episode 1806 titled Gray Zone. And it was the. It was a no agenda Hamburglar. It was like a. Like a puzzle. You had to figure out what. What is going on with the. With the crook with the prison outfit on a ham radio with a ham. Did you see that? Someone animated it?
Adam Curry
No.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, yeah. On Twitter.
Adam Curry
Well, there's an AI product that will animate anything.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. And it even had the VU meter animating. The RF meter was animated. Oh, it was quite amazing. That stuff. I mean, that's where your trillions of dollars are going. It's good stuff. Well worth it. Of course, we also like to thank people who Support us financially. $50 and above are always mentioned, not under 50 for reasons of anonymity. And we have a special spot for people who are able to Support us with $200 or more for an episode. We'll mention you in this segment and we will read your note. Along with that, we'll give you an official Hollywood title of Associate Executive Producer, which is a real credit. You can use that anywhere. Hollywood credits are recognized, including IMDb.com or $300 or more. And you'll become an executive producer. And we will also recognize your note. And we got a number of on the spot donations yesterday at the no Agenda meetup here in Fredericksburg. Several Insta nights. So this, this was a. A very, very generous crowd. And it started off with. This was funny. Sir Tim. He will be Sir Tim. He. He is now an instant. He gave us a thousand dollars in silver. He gave us 21 pieces of silver and in a nice handsome leather pouch. So it felt just like Judas, you know. Oh, it's. Oh, at least you put in 21, not 20. And he will be insanited today. Donation night. I was hit in the mouth in 2010 by Sir Kevin Webb and have been a listener ever since. I hit my wife in the mouth and we damned her first. And now it's my turn. Please knight me Sir Tim of the Domestead. They actually live in a dome home which they built themselves, which is pretty cool. You ever seen these, these geodesic Dome.
Adam Curry
Yeah. There's a. There's a fact. There's a. I think there's some town around. I saw a special on it that they specialize in. In displaying these domes.
John C. Dvorak
That's cool.
Adam Curry
There's a lot of new dome technology.
John C. Dvorak
Yes, yes. He was taught he had a lot to say about the dome.
Adam Curry
Those guys are into this. Are into all the technology of the new. New kind of domes that people live, and they look dumb.
John C. Dvorak
So please knight me. Sir Tim of the dome said it. Well, he built a. Like a structure around it, so the dome is the home. And then around it, they put. Like, they built. You know, it looks like a regular house. So it's just. It's really like a. Like a.
Adam Curry
Wait a minute. So there's a house outside, and you go in the house, there's a dome you go into, and that's the house.
John C. Dvorak
Yes, exactly. Which he says is fireproof, windproof, and bulletproof.
Adam Curry
See, I would think it'd be the other way around. You have this giant dome, and then you go into the dome, and there'd be a nice, cute little house inside.
John C. Dvorak
No, in fact, because it's just. It looks kind of like a house on the outside, except for the roof. It has two mounds. It looks like a. Like a bra. Like two boobs on top of your home. It's kind of an odd structure. If we're still able to do the secretary General thing, I'd like to be titled Secretary General of the digital Domstead. Yes, you can. Keeping the note short. The rest can be said at the meetup. Sir Tim. Then we got. Oh, yes. So that was the silver donation. Then we got 910,000 Satoshis sent to my wallet, which I will send onto our wallet in bitcoin from Aaron and Aaron and Aaron Estil. I think it is Esteel. I cannot read his handwriting. So that's $1,000. Abilene, Texas. Texas Navy, retired. Oh, yeah. He was one of the top guys in the navy. And they. They wanted to force the COVID shot on him, and he said, nope. And he left the Navy. He left over the COVID shot. He says, thank you.
Adam Curry
Well, can he get back in and get the back pay that they promised?
John C. Dvorak
I. I'm not sure I should have asked him that, but there was, like, a million kids running around. Then we go to Duke of the Pacific Trash Vortex. $500. He says. Jim Comey says, hi. Nice little card he has here. Just kidding. This donation is from Rogue. R H O A G. I will send a more legible Note to the correct email. So that's $500. Thank you very much. $500 from Marco D. Magnanimous. And he's the Baron Boomer. $500 for Secretary General of all things. Good, good. And he wanted a jobs, karma and a shut up slave. So I got. He wanted the Italian shut up slave. So we got that here for him.
Adam Curry
Shut up slave. And here's your jobs, car, jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs, karma.
John C. Dvorak
And then, then $1,000.33 from Sir Nick, Mr. Curry, Mr. Dvorak. My brother hit me in the mouth maybe a dozen times before my chin gave out. He kept telling me I'd love the show and mentioned the fixation of the 33 to appeal to a past part of me that had some deep persistent metaphysical run ins with the number. One day at work. I don't know what that is. One day at work. What?
Adam Curry
He's got run ins with the number. The number's tracking him around. Something's up, he knows it.
John C. Dvorak
One day at work I decided to tune in and it happened to be show 1533 having being born at 1533pm that was 3:33 in the afternoon. I was intrigued by the circumstance. I haven't missed the show since and happened to have planned a family vacation coinciding with the Fredericksburg meetup scheduled at 3:33pm Please accept me as an instant tonight. Please accept my gratitude. Make good episode 1595 was a wedding gift to my brother. Please make Paul Mazzoni the associate executive producer. Not me, New Jersey Mazzone. I've been the douche all this time, not him. Okay, so I'll put that this will be switcheroo. Yes, it is a switcheroo. And he will be Sir Nick the knight of Knoxville's 33rd degree. And a de douching is in order.
Adam Curry
You've been de douched.
John C. Dvorak
And then I only have three more. And this would be an associate executive producer from Ben and Heather Wright from San Antonio. 222 22. Dear Adam and John, My wife and I were hitting the mouth a little over two years ago and we listened to our first no agenda episode 1660, the Doom Goblin, in which you and John talked about the media attack on raw milk. We immediately sought out our local local herd share Simon, the contract shook our farmers hands and fell in love with our raw milk dealer. Shout out to Triple Oaks Farm in Virginia after hearing you reveal how the news coverage is silly nudging and downright brainwashing. There was no Going back. I've been listening ever since and love how small my amygdala is becoming. Hence the time has come for my wife and I to donate. Hereby request a deduce.
Adam Curry
You've been de douched.
John C. Dvorak
Enclose A donation of 222.22 because my wife and I are pregnant with twins. Could we get a double, double up Baby making karma. I didn't actually get the baby making karma baby, by the way. I was telling all these, these expectant parents that they have to name their kids after us. And they all promise, they all promise to do it. They all said, oh yeah, oh yeah, sure, we'll do it. Double up. Baby making car for all people out there wanting their own human resources. And if you add the segment you have of John complaining about the guy eating peanuts on airplane, I'll talk to my keeper about naming our twins Adam and John. Just a potential exit strategy for y' all 20 years from now, if you play your cards right. Well, we'll give you the baby karma. How about that? Sounds like the right thing to do.
Adam Curry
You've got.
John C. Dvorak
Karma. Also there were she Chauvin, the sir cambrake commodore of the gitmo navy and dame Tracy of the Roman right Commodore of gitmo nation. Royalty, brother royalty. $100 and gave me $5 they'd received from a Jewish establishment here in Fredericksburg and coined it Jew money. So thank you for that.
Adam Curry
Jew money.
John C. Dvorak
Jew money. Thank you to you and John for sharing your collective knowledge and wisdom with the gitmo nation. We look forward to the bi weekly no agenda shows to keep us sane. We especially respect and appreciate the guide God centered perspective in your life. Thank you.
Adam Curry
Yes, I have a request. They asked for two baby making karmas and just in case you should give them the second one, you've got.
John C. Dvorak
Karma.
Adam Curry
That's about how long it'll take for the second one to come out.
John C. Dvorak
And then Khan Nguyen and I think is what wife not on here. They always show up. They come in from Austin. I believe in $100. And thank you so much. Thank you to everybody who was at the meetup. Thank you to Gail and Matt Long who organized it and of course everybody at J6 or Jenny's 1776 Bar. It was a great time. Really one of the best we've had. Now we go to our executive and associate executive producers who sent in through various methods, Sir Chris Cohen from Austin 515 38. He is the ringless baron of north Austin here with his hat trick donation which elevates him to Viscount executive producer and secretary general all in one fell swoop. And he says, hi, Adam. And John with his hat trick donation. It's been three in a row now. I forgot to mention I'll be celebrating my 64th birthday on Tuesday. Perhaps a double up double tap is an order. Not sure what that means. A double up double tap. Does he want to. Does he want to be shot? Is that what he wants?
Adam Curry
That's what sounds like.
John C. Dvorak
Then we have that somewhere. There you go. I'm an OG pre pod show DSC listener who has been with the show all 18 years and was there when Adam first arrived in Austin during the Hot Pockets tour. Wow. Sir Gordon Gordon Walton, the Baron Walton was there as well. He was at that very first meetup. And he's made all of his family no agenda piece peers. I've attended the previous two Fredericksburg meetups, but they will not. Will not be there today. Unfortunately. We'll be celebrating at the round table with tequila and Concinita Pibil or Weiss beers and sauerbraten. Lastly, I want to call out my friend Pork Face, who hit me in the mouth several years ago as a douchebag.
Adam Curry
Douchebag.
John C. Dvorak
Sincerely, Chris Cowan. Thank you, Chris.
Adam Curry
Pork Face. Yeah, there you go. Duke of the Pacific trash vortex. Text 500 bucks. This is a third annual Fredericksburg meetup donation. And it's a switcheroo. Please give this executive producer credit to my nine week old granddaughter, Little Miss Daphne, the Darling trademark.
John C. Dvorak
Trademark indeed.
Adam Curry
And pending my ability to complete her full namehood, please bestow upon her the title of Secretary General of Babyland. Okay, thank you both for the wise deconstruction as well as the laughs. It is, after all, a comedy podcast.
John C. Dvorak
Indeed.
Adam Curry
April Apple wouldn't lie. R A H O A rogue. Rogue. Duke of the Pacific Trash vortex. That was 500 bucks.
John C. Dvorak
All right, we move on to Sir Meister chit chat. Russville, Arkansas.
Adam Curry

John C. Dvorak

Adam Curry
Greetings Russellville.
John C. Dvorak
Is it Russellville? Greetings and salutations from Mr. Meister Chit Chat of Harmony Homestead. This donation of 333.33 plus fees is a switcheroo and final donation necessary for damehood of my beloved, who this coming Thursday produces our first human resource. I began her path to damehood requesting baby making karma from the no agenda community. And here we are. There it is. Baby karma works. Kid needs to be named after us. With this donation, I may now rest easy as my son shall be of full noble blood of a Sir And a dame. And his name will be Sir Adam John Dvorak Curry chitchat. So she shall be known his.

Here's to four times four more years. Sincerely, Sir Meister Chit chat and a Lady Agricola Gothicus of Harmony Homestead.
Adam Curry
Sean Pilik. Sean A. Pilachowski in Portage. Or Portage. Or Portage.
John C. Dvorak
I would say Portage.
Adam Curry
Oh Yeah, you would. Wisconsin. 22222. Another marking the day as switcheroo day. This is a switcheroo for my wife Wife dame hanging laundry and her damehood. I love you and our walks. And since John and Adam hit you in the mouth many years ago. That's interesting. She hid him in the mouth then, I guess.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah.
Adam Curry
You now hang laundry much better. Well, maybe not. I don't know how this works, but. Love you too. In my laundry hanging wall.
John C. Dvorak
Why?
Adam Curry
Okay, she's apparently hanging a lot of laundry.
John C. Dvorak
And what?
Adam Curry
Help her out? Get her a dryer.
John C. Dvorak
And what are the chances? As I'm about to open my gigawatt coffee roasters cold brew. There's eli the coffee guy. 210 12, which he always does. The dates get it? $210 12. Brothers, I need some travel karma. We can do that for you. After a long hard month where I lost my stepfather to complications from surgery and dealing with other additional challenges, we decided to head down to Chattanooga for a little arm R&R and visit some old friends. We made it as far as Louisville before our friends called and told us that kids both had the flu. Trip is canceled. So we are making the most of it and hanging in Louisville for the weekend. That said, the way the trip in the past weeks have gone, let us get. Let us get some karma to make it home safe and sound. That way we can get back to the grind of making great coffee at an affordable price. Visit gigawatt coffeeroasters.com use code I ITM20 for 20% off your order. Stay caffeinated, says Eli, Jen and Ethan. So yeah, we got some karma for you. And I'm gonna add a goat just for the coffee.
Adam Curry
You've got karma so good. Now we have sahib of Hogtown. $200.37. And this is in purple which means. Hi fellas. I donated bitcoin just to annoy John but sadly had tech issues doing so and sent Adam Boomerash emails. Apologies.
John C. Dvorak
That was funny.
Adam Curry
You got boomerish emails.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah.
Adam Curry
His donation is honor my friend Christina whom I punched in the mouth a few months ago. She is in the dystopian hellhole of Buffalo, New York. A single party controlled them stronghold is all cities with a child poverty rate of almost 50%. This is all Democrat run cities. They're all the same. They got one name on the ballot every cycle is just. It's just. By the way, I blame the Republicans for this situation because they don't. They never put anybody up. They don't have good. You know, they don't have a machine. They don't do anything well. They don't have any leadership.
John C. Dvorak
That's too bad.
Adam Curry
Horrible. It's just how it's just. What is this? It's just fine with the brainwashed masses. Oh, they only have one candidate. Please give her karma and a deduching you've been de douched and give her some pity for being the only non dem in the city. In the city. That's probably not true. By the way. In the city limits, Sir Heb of Hogtown on the brain aneurysm guy.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, that guy.
Adam Curry
Karma.
John C. Dvorak
And Linda Lopatkin is here with $200 and she requests jobs Karma and says as she always does, and rightly so, for a competitive edge with a resume that gets results. Go to ImageMakers Inc.com for all of your executive resume and job search needs. That's Image Makers Inc. With a K. And work with Linda Lou. She's the duchess of jobs and writer of winning resumes.
Adam Curry
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. And finally we have sir fur from Orlando, Florida. And he sent a check in for 200 and put a note in with it which is written on a piece of paper. And you can tell it's a piece of paper by the sound it makes.
John C. Dvorak
Yep.
Adam Curry
October ITM John and Adam switcheroo. Another switcheroo. Yet another switcheroo through. Please credit this esteemed associate executive producership to Mr. Dana Brunetti. Congrats to him.
John C. Dvorak
He still hasn't made executive. He's still just an associate executive producer. Poor Dana Brunetti.
Adam Curry
I find myself he's gonna. You can't say that because he has donated executive producer level donations and he's going to write a nasty note in. And then we get Into a back and forth.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, fine.
Adam Curry
You and Dana. Mostly, yes. I find myself in a Kafkaesque situation. I request that the Peerage Committee consider this appeal to resolve it. Here are the relevant facts. Previously, without evidence, the Peerage Committee declared that I cannot carry the title of Black Baron because no such title exists. However, the committee conceded he can call himself Black Baron if he wants to. Unquote 2. Now he starts with A, then goes to 2. He's like, so this we have an issue with.
John C. Dvorak
Right away, he's like, biden. There's three things a.
Adam Curry
Two. He says, look, I didn't call myself Black Baron. You guys did. I was duly credited and pronounced. Pronounced, pronounced and pronouncated. Pronouncedicated, like you like to say. Black baron of the i4 corridor in episode 1512. I humbly submit that if there's a place for a governor within the Gitmo Nation community, there can also be a place for one true Black Baron. If the committee sees this differently or cheerfully. I don't think so. Cheerfully accept this. Furthermore, denying me the title of Black Baron would actually be a reverse reversal. I'm worried for the show that it might look bad if the committee strips a loyal knight of a duly pronounced title. Right. You wouldn't want people thinking peerage is a scam, would you?
John C. Dvorak
No. God forbid.
Adam Curry
Can I claim the official title of Black Baron? Yes or no? Answer the question. Thank you for your attention to this matter. No jingles, no karma. Love is list, Sir Fur TBD Baron of the I4 Corps, Orlando. On a side note, Franz Kafka's writing. Blah, blah, blah. Okay, this is going to a committee and will be resolved within the next 30 days.
John C. Dvorak
Well, then, take this into the committee with you because Baron Scott of the Armory was at the meetup yesterday with his dogs, Bonnie and Clyde and his wife. It was a hootenanny and he said, I'm going to be a Black Viscount. I said, there's no such thing. Thing. He says, yes, there is, because I was a Black Knight. So I'm a Black Baron and I can be a Black Viscount. So take that into your Peerage Committee. This is out of control.
Adam Curry
Sigh.
John C. Dvorak
This will all be resolved at the Sphere show.
Adam Curry
All.
John C. Dvorak
Hey, thank you very much, executive associate, Executive producers. Thank you, Meetup producers. Highly appreciated. Was good to hang out with everybody. I think I spoke to everybody that was there. Thank you to the Keeper for shuttling me around as she usually does. Although a lot of people seem to be there for Tina, which was nice to see. And of course, we'll be Thanking the rest of our supporters. $50 and above and our value for value model go to no Agenda donations dot com. Whatever value you get out of the show, just put it in the numbers and send it to us. We're happy with anything that you feel is the value you receive from the show. You can also set up a recurring donation at any time you, you want. Any amount, any frequency. Noagenda donations dot com. Thank you again to our executive and associate executive producers.
Adam Curry
Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
John C. Dvorak
Shut up, slave.
Adam Curry
Shut up.
John C. Dvorak
A lot of people responded to the license plate lobby. Oh yeah, they thought it was quite disgusting. In fact, Brad sent me a note.
Adam Curry
The way business is done in this country, you do it that way.
John C. Dvorak
Well, he had another take. Hey, bud. Hey, bud. I heard your short segment on the front license plates and how 3M is behind dashing the attempts of lawmakers to change that literature law. I've heard of big pharma and big banks, but I guess now we need to be on the lookout for big paint. Next thing you know, Candace Owens will be doing a six part series linking Israel to the front license plate issue at the Same time linking 3M to the Charlie Kirk assassination. I've got my popcorn ready. Yep, it's coming.
Adam Curry
There you go. Yeah, he's got that right. So I got a series of clips that are all taken from here and there that have to do with the vax.
John C. Dvorak
Oh really?
Adam Curry
Yeah, as a series here. And they're all different. It's a lot of Kennedy because Kennedy's been slipping stuff. And you pointed this out earlier in the show about how, you know, when Trump said something, there's a. This. They're really trying to get the vax thing, you know, so people take a second look.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah.
Adam Curry
And do we need these vaccines? I saw a clip. I didn't. It's not part of this segment, but it's where somebody said that the vax is more dangerous than the disease. Can they have some stats to prove it. But let's listen to these clips because they're kind of interesting.
John C. Dvorak
Okay.
Adam Curry
And I'm gonna, I think I'm gonna start off with the, with the counter, with it, with the prevailing attitude. This is a vax talk girl. And I want to set it up. I believe this to be an ad for cvs.
John C. Dvorak
Oh.
Adam Curry
By an influencer. And she's, she's standing there, she's actually laying down. I want to ask you, do you know, do you notice that there's a lot of tickets? Talkers they're laying in bed or they got their head on a pillow and they're yakking away. I. I don't understand what the appeal of that is. Either that or they're in their car. This car is laying in. In bed. The car. Why? Well, she's in bed.
John C. Dvorak
The Car is a natural studio. I mean, I used to do podcasts from the Car all the time. The Car is a great studio for a podcast, for the sound. You know, it's. It's not a great backdrop for. It was great for audio, but it's not great for video. I mean, I agree. It always makes you look like you're in the passenger seat instead of the driver's seat, which is another weird thing.
Adam Curry
Well, a lot of times I'm wondering, when they're in the driver's seat, what the heck are they? Hey, watch the road. So she's laying there and she's got. And she's got one arm uncovered and it's got two different colored bandages on. A little green one, a red one or something.
John C. Dvorak
She got the flu shot and the COVID shot.
Adam Curry
Oh, yeah, you want them that way you double. Double up. So. So let's listen to her. And before I get to the main.
John C. Dvorak
Three clips, I got my covet and flu vaccines today, and I'm so happy about that. I got them for a few reasons. One, because it's the right thing to do for myself, but also for everybody around me and also a little bit out of spite. There have been years where I've forgotten to get my flu shot, but this year was not going to be one of those years because, again, I trust science and I'm not a idiot. So here we are. I am someone that, like, does kind of get affected. When I first got my coverage shot, I was down bad for a couple days. And even when I get my flu shot, like, I don't typically feel good for a day or two afterwards. And for people that are gonna be like, that means it's bad for you. No, that means it's worse working. That's how that works. And it's well worth it to protect myself, but also everybody around me, especially when I work with vulnerable communities, like, it's my civic duty at this point, so go get your vaccines. CVS made it, like, so easy. Well, a couple things. First of all, the dropping of the F bomb every single time tells me that subconsciously she knows this is wrong.
Adam Curry
Wrong. Oh, that's an interesting idea. Secondly, it's like a tell.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, it is a tell. And it's a very. We've seen a lot of this, certainly recently, a lot of F bomb dropping. Get what that idea.
Adam Curry
I just came up with it now for the show.
John C. Dvorak
I'm listening to it now for the first time.
Adam Curry
And you got the idea right now that dropping the F bombs a tell for lying.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, glory to God, John. It just came to me. The Holy Spirit gave me this. Laugh all you want. Laugh all you want. So that's part one. Part two is the. The gross misinformation that somehow you're protecting others with your vaccine is just.
Adam Curry
I love that propaganda.
John C. Dvorak
That's ludicrous. Now the end part about qvc. Yeah, it's possible, but I would have thought they would have wanted a little more payoff in the. If she's getting paid for the this. So maybe, maybe. And I think, you know, there's a real pro. The gen Zers were all telling me TikTok, it's ruined. They said something has changed in the last few months, which I think is. Is sabotaged by, well, the owners, the current owners. I think that whoever buys this is getting the dog because it's. It's now filled with ads and the Algos are no longer giving people what they want. Want. And it's noticeable. They say it's very noticeable, but they would know.
Adam Curry
I haven't noticed it, but they would buy. Get mine filtered too.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. You don't have the app, but the app is throwing up ads everywhere. It's annoying. It's not. And the main thing is the Algo has changed. And I think if Ellison, whatever this conglomerate is, who's going to buy it? They're buying a dog. And not a good dog. Not as in a fluffy oh, I love you dog, but just a dog of a product. I think that this is a trick. Something is. Something is no good. So maybe it could be. You convinced it's a CVS influencer ad that she needs to disclose that?
Adam Curry
I don't think she does. She doesn't know that.
John C. Dvorak
Well, that's.
Adam Curry
Most of these influencers are too dumb to know that they have to disclose things. I think she's just. I think it is a CVS ad.
John C. Dvorak
How much do you get for that to slip that in? What kind of money?
Adam Curry
You know, I wish somebody out there would take. Tell me.
John C. Dvorak
Well, there's agencies that do this. There's entire agencies that handle influencers. We're influencers. We influence people.
Adam Curry
Could be a couple hundred bucks. It could be more, could be less. It's probably a few hundred Well, I.
John C. Dvorak
Mean, I remember the. The right wing influences were getting five grand for talking up soda pop. Remember that?
Adam Curry
Five grand?
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. And they were all.
Adam Curry
So that's good money.
John C. Dvorak
They were all. Sorry about it. It.
Adam Curry
Oh, sure they were. And so is their banker.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, their investment banker.
Adam Curry
Oh, I'm so sorry.
John C. Dvorak
Their investment banker.
Adam Curry
So then I catch this on one of the McCullough podcasts. And this is the flu vax flu shot Cleveland study.
John C. Dvorak
Okay. Clearly, these two studies show that not only does the flu vaccination increase your.
Adam Curry
Risk of flu by 27%. And that study was by Shrestha and colleagues out of the Cleveland Clinic. Over 40,000 people were in that study.
John C. Dvorak
So this is a robust study, you know, very credible. And then the other study found 340%.
Adam Curry
Increased risks of other viruses when you get the flu shot. And so not only are you getting more flu, you're getting more coronaviruses and more infections, and it's just reduced. Ridiculous.
John C. Dvorak
All right.
Adam Curry
I had to cut it off because the music.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, he needs to run.
Adam Curry
So you have that situation. So then Kennedy comes on different podcasts and he's floating around and the stories are always a little different here and there. And I thought both of these were worth listening to. This is the vax. This is Kennedy on the flu shot saying the same. Basically the same thing. The flu shot's no good.
John C. Dvorak
In a million years, I would not.
Adam Curry
Take the flu shot. And I'll tell you why.
John C. Dvorak
Because this is what Cochran and BMJ found.
Adam Curry
People who take the flu shot are.
John C. Dvorak
Protected against that strain of flu. They're 4.4 times more likely to get.
Adam Curry
A non flu infection.
John C. Dvorak
And you might find a lot of people do that.
Adam Curry
They get the flu shot and then they get sick.
John C. Dvorak
They're usually not getting the flu or getting something that is indistinguishable from the.
Adam Curry
Flu because the flu shot gives you.
John C. Dvorak
Something called pathogenic priming. It injures your immune system so that you're more likely to get a non flu viral upper respiratory infection. In fact, the Pentagon published a story and you can cite this.
Adam Curry
It's by Wolf, W O L F.
John C. Dvorak
E in January of this year in which they said the flu shot not only primes you for flu and it primes you for coronavirus. If you get.
Adam Curry
They gave.
John C. Dvorak
They had a placebo group and they had a vaccine group because they wanted for military readiness to see if the.
Adam Curry
Flu shot was prophylactic against coronavirus.
John C. Dvorak
What they found is actually the people.
Adam Curry
Who got the flu shot were 36% more likely to get coronavirus. And that's not a lone study.
John C. Dvorak
We found six other major studies that say the same thing. If you get the flu shot, you're.
Adam Curry
More likely to get coronavirus virus.
John C. Dvorak
Wow, I hadn't heard that one. I think we've talked about it several times. Certainly the flu shot. Yeah, but the flu shot. If you get the flu shot, you're more susceptible to coronavirus. That's interesting.
Adam Curry
Yeah, I thought that was good. But you're also more susceptible to some just rando stuff. It's a crappy shot. I mean, I haven't gotten one for 20 years and I haven't gotten the flu season since. Except that one time in 2017. But I had Tamiflu and it took it out and I haven't had anything.
John C. Dvorak
I got the swine flu in 20. Was it 20? No, it was much earlier. When was the swine flu?
Adam Curry
Yeah, you had something that was during the show era.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, it was 2010. I think it was during Mevio, because I remember I didn't have an apartment in San Francisco at the. Was that crappy Marriott down the road.
Adam Curry
It wasn't a Marriott. It was something else.
John C. Dvorak
Like a Hyatt.
Adam Curry
It's a Hyatt, wasn't it?
John C. Dvorak
It was a Hyatt. Yeah, the Hyatt Hyatt. And I was out for a couple days.
Adam Curry
Isn't that the place? Isn't that that part that you stayed there as it was an apartment dweller. Didn't you have some nearby neighbor who was always hitting on you? Some chick?
John C. Dvorak
No, that was when I had the condo in San Francisco. Condo is a big word. It was a very small apartment. And it was the Obama bot who was next door. And you were egging me on, like, yeah, go over there, knock on her door.
Adam Curry
Well, you know me, but it's I supposed to see. And I was like, hey, can I have some action?
John C. Dvorak
Can I have some stickers? And Right.
Adam Curry
I coached you on how to get. Yes, ask her for stickers.
John C. Dvorak
And then I asked. I asked about the. Hey, where's the meetup? How can I join the meetup to get the training? And she was recruiting me, but then she got wary. I think she kind of figured it out. Like, something's going on here. Yeah, those are good times.
Adam Curry
Yeah, that was a good one.
John C. Dvorak
You were coaching me. She was kind of cute. I remember the neighbor. Yeah, I don't remember her name, but yeah, I did get some stickers. Okay, here's some stickers. Yeah, some Obama stickers. We're going to The. It was a camp Obama camp. That's what it was.
Adam Curry
Yeah, you try to.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, I need to get trained in the camp.
Adam Curry
Yeah, that had been fantastic.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, Well, I missed out on the camp.
Adam Curry
Oh, well. All right. So this is the last clip. So Kennedy gives us the lowdown, and there's this flu stuff. Meanwhile, you listen to all the local media you want to, and they're still going to be pushing the flu shot.
John C. Dvorak
Okay.
Adam Curry
Okay, here's something.
John C. Dvorak
Sorry.
Adam Curry
But now we got this is Kennedy on aluminum.
John C. Dvorak
Wait, they're still putting aluminum in the shots?
Adam Curry
Well, yeah, they do it as an. It's the adjuvant.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, it's. It's. It's. It's to jigger your immune system. It's to get y' all well.
Adam Curry
Here he explains it, and then he talks about some of the problems you end up with. This is really good.
John C. Dvorak
People should know is that.
Adam Curry
But aluminum provokes an allergic response, and.
John C. Dvorak
That'S why it was valuable. So if you put the aluminum in with the viral antigen, your body now mounts an allergic response to that viral antigen, whether it's polio or hepatitis B.
Adam Curry
Or the, you know, HPV or whatever.
John C. Dvorak
But what we now know, the science suggests, is that the alumina also creates allergic responses to anything that's in the ambient environment. So if you have a peanut oil excipient in that vaccine and you put aluminum in it, you could have a.
Adam Curry
Lifetime allergy to peanuts.
John C. Dvorak
If there is a timothy weed outbreak, the week that you get that aluminum vaccine, you now may have a lifetime.
Adam Curry
Allergy to timothy weed.
John C. Dvorak
And that's why probably there's two studies by Mawson and Cowlings, which children who are vaccinated with aluminum vaccines have 30 times the rate of allergic rhinitis as kids who don't. And all of these food allergy epidemics date to the time that we started giving these kids this aluminum end because my kids have these allergies. I'm one of the founders of the Food allergy initiative in the Food Allergy.
Adam Curry
Network, which is the biggest food allergy.
John C. Dvorak
Research group and what you know. So that group has scientists from all over the world who are giving food allergies to rats and then figuring out how to treat them. How do they give the allergy to the rat? They take the aluminum adjuvant from the hepatitis B vaccine, add a latex molecule, and that now is a permanent latex allergy.
Adam Curry
You add a peanut molecule and has.
John C. Dvorak
A permanent peanut allergy. You add a dairy molecule, now has a permanent dairy allergy. You wonder why all of this whole generation of children is allergic to stuff. It's because we've been inducing allergies by pumping them full of allergies. Aluminum. Oh, man. Oh, man. Makes sense.
Adam Curry
And what. And the question, the bigger question is, why would you give the hepatitis vaccine to a kid, a baby, anyway, in the first place?
John C. Dvorak
For the money.
Adam Curry
It has to be to give them these allergies. They're doing it on purpose. I have to say, at this point.
John C. Dvorak
You know, as I'm listening to that, it reminds me of they do a training for dogs here in Texas, which we did not put our dog through, and it's to train them to stay away from rattlesnakes. So they put a high voltage shock collar on your dog, which is the reason I didn't do it. And then they bring out a rattlesnake. They show the rattlesnake and they shock the dogs. So the dog. Yeah, exactly.
Adam Curry
That would do it.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, it does, it does. One of our friend's dogs just bit in the face the other day by a rattlesnake. Rattlesnake. And. And it cost a thousand dollars for the antivenom, which seems like a ripoff to me.
Adam Curry
That does seem like a ripoff.
John C. Dvorak
I mean, how hard can it be? But, man, what a scandal that would be if. If they were knowingly giving kids allergies. You got to wonder about Mimi's allergy. Did she get a shot at some point when she had an allergic rehab?
Adam Curry
Can't track it. Danny, anything that's so odd.
John C. Dvorak
I'll say that most of these trap babies and the young couples, they said, well, I haven't given our kids any vaccines. Nothing. Look at them. They're fine. Go eat some dirt. Yeah, yeah, they're fine. It's amazing. Makes you wonder. Home school.
Adam Curry
Well, no vats that Kennedy keeps bringing up. And you can see every time you get one of these obscure. These clips are all over the. Because he goes on these different podcasts and he did. One of them was from the valuetainment network. And he goes on these different podcasts and he drops these little bombs all over the place. I can see why. The pharma big pharma big boys, the big drug big whatever. They must hate him.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, for sure. I remember back in the day, the early days of the show. I would always say, isn't it amazing how they always come out with all these drugs for. For allergies and flu and everything? You know, just about two weeks before it hits everybody. I always thought they were Putting this stuff in the air, but now they're just putting it in the shots. Just giving it to you. Okay, give me some. We're going to be branded anti vaxxers for sure.
Adam Curry
Yeah, well, we might as well be branded anti vaxxers the way things are going. Who cares?
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, true.
Adam Curry
I got a shot. I've gotten shots. I've gotten vaxxed here and there. I was a. I was a polio pioneer.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, you got lucky.
Adam Curry
I know I did. I know. If I'd gotten the cutter thing, I wouldn't be doing this podcast. I'd be dead by now.
John C. Dvorak
You got real lucky. Real lucky. Let's see, I have some remnant inventory here. This is the latest on the EU digital border entry and exit system. The European Union's new digital entry and exit scheme, which involves registering the fingerprints of people from third party countries and taking their photographs before they enter 29 EU countries came into force on Sunday. Major airports in Italy began their implementation on Sunday while Germany began its gradual phase in storage. Stuttgart. According to the European Union, the new system will improve the efficiency and security of border crossings. Non EU citizens will have to pass through the biometric system to enter and exit the block with their data being stored in the cloud for at least three years. The system is expected to eventually replace the old fashioned system of physically stamping passengers passport, which doesn't allow for automatic.
Adam Curry
Detection of people who have exceeded their.
John C. Dvorak
Authorized stay of 90 days within 180 days. But experts are warning that non EU nationals will need to stop for a longer time before a passport control officer or self service kiosk at airports, ports and international rail terminals.
Adam Curry
The EU commission however, says says the.
John C. Dvorak
System could temporarily be suspended during the first six months of implementation if wait times become too long or there are technical issues. Three years. They retain that information. That seems a little excessive. Three years. By the way, I just got a text message from Andrew Horowitz.
Adam Curry
Yeah, he's in Europe.
John C. Dvorak
He's. He.
Adam Curry
Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
What's he doing in Europe? I heard you guys had a best of show, but what's he. Where is he in Europe?
Adam Curry
He was in Tuscany the last time I looked.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, he says Pete and Franny are the best. Yes, I should have mentioned his friends. Pete and Franny were at the meetup. Franny is the. Is his drunk friend who he put on the phone. Remember that?
Adam Curry
No.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, he called me up and he said, hey man, you're not really mad at me. Here, talk to my friend and some drunk woman. That was Franny. She was at the Meetup.
Adam Curry
Oh, you're the drunk.
John C. Dvorak
You're the drunk lady. Yeah, that was me.
Adam Curry
Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
Okay. CBS has new pictures. Did you see the new pictures? I don't know how they got it, but it's. It's coming out now. New pictures of Epstein cell.
Adam Curry
This was the vow of then Attorney General Bill Barr.
John C. Dvorak
We will get to the bottom of.
Adam Curry
What happened and there will be accountability. Epstein's death was quickly ruled a suicide.
John C. Dvorak
But an investigation of jail cell photos.
Adam Curry
By CBS News, working with forensic experts, has raised serious questions about the New York medical examiner and the FBI's work, including a failure to preserve the scene, log evidence and run basic forensic tests. There are 90 photos in all showing a cell strewn with blankets and strips of fabric tied to the bed and window grate. Items moved around, including a mattress, which is seen on the floor in an earlier photo, but appears on the bed in Al. Looking at the metadata, that second photo appears to have been taken at 11:02am if that's accurate, the scene had been disturbed hours before FBI investigators. Oh, no. Investigators also found several possible nooses, but did not conclusively identify the one that killed him. What do you make of all these pictures? I make a crime scene gone wrong. Herman Weisberg is a former NYPD detective turned private investigator. Does it look to you like this was investigated as a suicide or as a murder? To me, this looks like they took.
John C. Dvorak
It at face value that this was a suicide.
Adam Curry
While our investigation did not contradict the official determination of suicide, it does raise questions about what was done to rule out the possibility of murder.
John C. Dvorak
If you realize that you've got a.
Adam Curry
High profile person that may or may.
John C. Dvorak
Not have committed suicide, but you need.
Adam Curry
To prove that to people.
John C. Dvorak
This is not adequate as far as I concerned.
Adam Curry
We've reached out for comment for the office of the Chief Medical examiner and the staff at the FBI and the Department of Justice. As of now, all have declined to comment.
John C. Dvorak
This is really. I don't. They didn't say how they got the pictures, but. Yeah, it's weird. There's like five nooses laying around and I don't know. They're keeping it going, that's for sure. Sure.
Adam Curry
Yeah. Why not?
John C. Dvorak
Keep it going. Yeah. All right. You're gonna have to wrap it up with whatever you got left over.
Adam Curry
Well, let's see.
John C. Dvorak
For this holiday weekend, indigenous people celebration.
Adam Curry
I have a couple. I can talk about the Nashville Blast. I don't. It's kind of disgusting. I have one. Just one clip that would get us to shorten the show, which I think is a good clip. This is our idiot friend Don Lemon, formerly of cnn.
John C. Dvorak
Is Don purposely going out to get humiliate? Is that what he's doing? It's kind of interesting, what this man on the street stuff.
Adam Curry
Yeah. It seems as though he's a masochist and he's out there making a fool out of himself. In this case, he doesn't seem to know what a law is, and he doesn't know what a misdemeanor is. He thinks it's not against the getting a misdemeanor. Doesn't mean you broke the law. Law. Did you know this? The misdemeanors. No, no, no. It's got nothing to do with anything. Listen to this clip with this woman he's talking to about illegal immigrants.
John C. Dvorak
Okay? Crossing the border illegally is not a crime.
Adam Curry
No, it's not a criminal act. It's a misdemeanor. So why are they being sent back and saying that they're breaking the law? That's the point, okay, as somebody that.
John C. Dvorak
We don't know if they're breaking the law because they won't tell. There's no due process. Where's the evidence? That's. That's the whole point.
Adam Curry
And if they are breaking the law, most people will say, okay, then they.
John C. Dvorak
Need to go if they're criminals.
Adam Curry
But if they're not, why are they.
John C. Dvorak
Being rounded up and sent out? Especially when he promised to. To deport the criminals, and now he's not doing that. Yeah, I don't think we're going. So misdemeanor is not a criminal act. No. If you get charged with a misdemeanor.
Adam Curry
That'S not a criminal charge at all.
John C. Dvorak
Then if it's not a criminal act.
Adam Curry
Because we have different levels of crime.
John C. Dvorak
Everything is not the same. So it is crime. No, it's just we have different levels of. I shouldn't say crime, but it's not. It's not.
Adam Curry
You're not.
John C. Dvorak
It's not a crime. You're not breaking the law.
Adam Curry
I mean, you are breaking the law.
John C. Dvorak
But it's not a criminal act.
Adam Curry
Breaking the law.
John C. Dvorak
No, you're not breaking the law. No.
Adam Curry
If you're speeding, drinking, get pulled over.
John C. Dvorak
Dui, that's not a criminal. Well, no, if you're speeding is a misdemeanor.
Adam Curry
So still breaking the law. Okay, well, if you want to. If you want to qualify that, we're doing semantics.
John C. Dvorak
But what I'm saying. But what I'm trying to tell you is everything is not the same. It's All.
Adam Curry
Not one thing. But is it the law? What is it the law that. What is it law to come over legally? Is there a law? There are. There are rules that.
John C. Dvorak
Processes that you should follow.
Adam Curry
Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
So you're breaking rules, you're breaking the rules, but you're not necessarily breaking a law.
Adam Curry
So what happens when you break?
John C. Dvorak
Then you get, as you saw, with the consequences.
Adam Curry
But the consequences should not. It's. Look, no one is saying. No one should stop the consequences.
John C. Dvorak
You guys are getting things mixed up. Oh, man. I got. I. I have respect for Don Lemon that he puts this stuff out. Does he not realize he looks like a dummy?
Adam Curry
He is a dummy.
John C. Dvorak
Well, yeah. So it's kind of respect. You know, somehow I have respect for that.
Adam Curry
You have respect for someone who is a dummy and just lets it. Lets it fly.
John C. Dvorak
He doesn't have to put this out. I mean, he does.
Adam Curry
He's such a dummy. He doesn't even know that he's. That he's looking like a dummy.
John C. Dvorak
Does he have no one in his immediate sphere who will tell. Who will tell him that?
Adam Curry
Apparently not. I'm guessing I'm gonna show my support.
John C. Dvorak
By donating to no Agenda.
Adam Curry
Imagine all the people. People who could do that.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab. Well, that's good news because there's two of us and we are quick to tell each other. You're a dummy.
Adam Curry
Yeah, we do that all the time.
John C. Dvorak
You're a rat or a dummy. You're a dummy, man. Don't do that. All right, we do have.
Adam Curry
And we also have our now new third party that makes it even more obvious that we're stupid.
John C. Dvorak
Our third party party.
Adam Curry
Yeah. Error.

Adam Curry
And sometimes Adam. Yeah, okay. Curiously, I had the t. The tip of this. This tip is one of the. I Have a rotation of what I do. And this is a website that is incredibly useful for anybody who it has, I don't know, probably 50, maybe 60 different measurements that you can convert. It's called convert-me.com.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, that may be handy.
Adam Curry
Convert-me.com and you can convert anything to anything.
John C. Dvorak
Can we do dollars to bitcoin?
Adam Curry
Probably not.
John C. Dvorak
It might.
Adam Curry
I mean, it's possible. I haven't gone through conversions. I've only used about 10 of them. Out of the 30 or 40 they have wire gauge conversions, which is new ring sizes. Ring sizes with conversion. I don't know what that even means. I guess there's different sizes around the world and that's new European ring size, but it's mostly mass and weight and distance and length and capacity and volume and area and speed and temperature, you know, Fabulous, useful site.
John C. Dvorak
It is. And I would say this is actually quite good for our no agenda knights and dames because I had no idea that ring sizes in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa differ from our ring sizes or the European standard sizes, which is ISO 8653:2016 and yet differs from Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Brazil and India. And there's even old Brazilian ring sizes. This is a. This is a very interesting site.
Adam Curry
Yeah, that's a good one.
John C. Dvorak
Power. What's the power conversion? Oh, for megawatts. Gigawatt. Calories. Oh, hey, calories.
Adam Curry
There you go.
John C. Dvorak
Let me see my giggle. How many calories are in this? Doesn't say. Does it have nicotine? Does it have nicotine? We got nicotine.
Adam Curry
Nicotine.
John C. Dvorak
Nicotine. Yeah. Show me how much power is in some nicotine. That's an interesting site, John. It looks like it was made in 1980.
Adam Curry
Yes. The site is a little dated looking. It's very old, old fashioned. The fact that they have anything new is kind of a shocker.
John C. Dvorak
That is good. There it is. Your tip of the day. Find them all@tipoftheday.net.
Adam Curry
And sometimes Adam created by Dana Burnetti.
John C. Dvorak
All right, everybody, that is it. A dynamite, jam packed show just for you and that on a holiday weekend. I'm just saying it's because we love you. That's why we love you. And we do it as a public service every single time. End of show mixes. We got a double dose of Neil Jones, our clip custodian, because I found out he did more than one drone mix. So that will be a. A package, a sandwich, if you would will around the classic A drone Again parody, which is a fan favorite here. On the no Agenda show. Coming up next, if you're listening to the live stream, we have grumpy old dames. That's Lady Vox and Dame Black Loca. So stay tuned for that. And of course we will return on Thursday for another jam packed show full of deconstruction just for you. I. I'm sure something will happen in the meantime that we need to talk about. Until then, coming to you from the site of yet another great no Agenda meetup, Fredericksburg, Texas in the morning, everybody.
Adam Curry
I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. Dvorak.
John C. Dvorak
We'll talk to you on Thursday. Remember us@noagendadonations.com until then, adios, mofos and such. I'm gonna send a mysterious drone over and announce it with a big flashing red light. I'm a drone. I'm a drone. I'm a drone flying over Afghanistan or.
Adam Curry
Maybe it was Pakistan.
John C. Dvorak
I promised myself to aim myself at every one them of child and man that was on my list. I don't care if I missed. I'm remote controlled. I do what I'm told by someone at a computer. Obama gave me a push more than Bush and I cost millions I'm supposed to target terrorists but not so much civilians I don't know why to say whoops, something got in my way. A drone again, naturally.
Adam Curry
A drone again, naturally.
John C. Dvorak
Kamakaze drones. Kamakazi drones. Kamakazi drones.
Adam Curry
Kamikaze drones.
John C. Dvorak
Kamikaze drones. Kamikaze drones.
Adam Curry
Kamikaze drones.
John C. Dvorak
Audios mofo Devorak. Org Na I'm Walter Cronkite and if I wasn't dead, I'd love this show.
Date: October 12, 2025
Hosts: Adam Curry & John C. Dvorak
In this lively and wide-ranging episode, Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak deliver their signature media deconstruction, focusing on the evolving landscape of news coverage, political maneuvering, the generational divide in information literacy, and the shifting sands of geopolitics—from the Israel-Gaza ceasefire and Trump’s foreign diplomacy, to the ongoing saga of government weaponization and vaccine skepticism.
The hosts provide sharp critiques of both legacy and new media, interlace it with community feedback, and mix in humor and banter, grounding the discussion with personal stories from recent No Agenda meetups. The episode’s title, “Keyboard Warrior”, is taken both literally and metaphorically as the duo examine how “the keyboard” (and digital warfare) is becoming as real a weapon as any on the battlefield.

Episode 1807 encapsulates No Agenda’s core strengths: crowd-sourced media analysis, a healthy distrust of both mainstream and legacy alternatives, and a vibrant pushing of community involvement. Come for the deconstruction of the Middle East narrative (and how new generations consume and misinterpret it); stay for the laughs, the sharp cultural commentary, and the inside baseball on the reality of podcasting in a media landscape increasingly driven by “keyboard warriors.”
In the morning!
