The hosts blend deep political and historical knowledge with offbeat humor, aiming to empower listeners to question mainstream reporting and connect the global dots themselves. There’s never a dull moment, with quick sidebars into tech nostalgia, drinking tips, and the absurdities of contemporary culture.

Memorable ISO: “This is real and it’s cool.” (155:16)

Transcript

[Adam Curry]

Well, you know, this is the new

[John C. Dvorak]

me, Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, April 30, 2026. This is your award winning Gibbonation Media Assassination Episode 1864. This is no Agenda 86 in the M5 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 FM Refinery Row, where we do not practice weather modification. I'm John C. Dvorak.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's crackpot and buzz kill. What now about weather modification?

[Adam Curry]

It's apparently going on in Iran.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, well, of course, the. The weather machine. Yes, of course, it's great. What, what kind of weather do they have?

[Adam Curry]

Well, they're trying to give them to make the drought worse, but then I guess they found some of these microwave fields and so they. Oh no. Iranians blew them up. Now it's raining.

[John C. Dvorak]

So we were doing that all along, huh?

[Adam Curry]

Well, this is. This is some podcaster.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, okay.

[Adam Curry]

You know, I mean, maybe we were.

[John C. Dvorak]

Was it a podcaster? Just asking questions?

[Adam Curry]

No, no, they were. They had some guy on there that knew all about it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, the weather modification is real. We know that's real. It's real.

[Adam Curry]

It's real.

[John C. Dvorak]

But I prefer the earthquake machine a little better myself. I think that's more.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, maybe they can't. There may be nothing there to earthquake.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, yeah, and of course there's something to earthquake there. There's plenty. Plenty left to do.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah. The problem is there's so many faults in the Middle east that they blow up the wrong country.

[John C. Dvorak]

There is a lot going on in the world. And may I remind everybody you are listening to the no Agenda show. It is the best podcast in the universe and we are value for value. You will not hear advertisements during this program. So sit back, enjoy the value that comes to you. And later on in the show, if you think, wow, that was valuable, we'll give you an opportunity to help us by sending some value back in the form of time, talent, or treasure.

[Adam Curry]

We can start with something screwy. Did you notice that Kara Swisher has a special on Kara Swisher, I want to live forever.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes.

[Adam Curry]

Have you seen this?

[John C. Dvorak]

I've seen a little bit. First of all, she has an eternal scowl on her face.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, I know. You know, the funny thing is when she smiles, she looks good.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes, but.

[Adam Curry]

But her, she's got a nice smile,

[John C. Dvorak]

but it's eternally in a frown. Like if you drew a frowny face, a line, because she has no lips. That's Kara Swisher's mouth. It's. And we must just stop for a moment and remind everybody that her on camera media career is all thanks to you. Yeah, you gave her her first.

[Adam Curry]

I gave her her first.

[John C. Dvorak]

Her first. Her big break. Yeah. Was it Silicon Spin or Cranky Geeks or both? Silicon Spin. An old school. I mean, you think you kids listening to the TBM podcast.

[Adam Curry]

Stop it. Go ahead. Stop it. Go ahead.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, it's more like. Yeah, I'm gonna interrupt you, but go ahead. Yeah, let me just say something because I want to talk about myself, but go ahead. But go ahead. I'm gonna say the real truth of the facts. But go ahead.

[Adam Curry]

So anyway, they. They started this thing and, you know, I said what just came out. So I click on it initially. So what is this? And they won. No, you gotta subscribe to cnn. Some bull crap. So that went on for about an hour.

[John C. Dvorak]

Wait a minute, wait a minute. I saw it on cnn. I saw a business.

[Adam Curry]

Because they pulled the plug on the subscribe thing and put it on the regular. They put it on the regular feed

[John C. Dvorak]

because no one was subscribing to it.

[Adam Curry]

No one was subscribed. It wasn't doing much of a job. So I watched part of the first one. Extremely overproduced. They put money into this thing.

[John C. Dvorak]

Now, wait a minute. The premise of the show as I understood it from watching it on the quad screen, flipping over to the top right corner and briefly turning on the volume, it seems like this is a show about products or health or people who want to live forever. Mainly.

[Adam Curry]

Yes.

[John C. Dvorak]

Silicon Valley nut jobs. Okay.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah. All right, all right. Kind of a mockery of them.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes.

[Adam Curry]

So I recorded these, this 14 second clip, which I think summarizes her attitude, the show and everything in between. And it also. If you hear this little 14 second clip, you probably won't want to watch the show, but let's play this. It's under Kara Swisher.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

The more you think about death, the happier you are as a person. I'm going to be cremated for sure. I'm going to be thrown in the face of people I don't like. That was Cara.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, yeah, that sums it up. We should do this for all kinds of shows. What not to watch and why in 14 seconds or less, we were thinking of death.

[Adam Curry]

Makes you happy. And I want to have my ashes thrown and everyone who doesn't like me's face. What? What?

[John C. Dvorak]

This is her general attitude. That's her attitude. That's her attitude. That's fine. You know, you Watch things that surprise me. You keep sending me the redacted nut jobs. Like, why the only time I watch is when you send me a link and I'm like, why am I watching this? Literally showing things that we laugh at. Three days before. Well, you know, the White House. She was at the White House. And she, and she called in and she said, well, you know, the. Carolyn Levitt's husband leaned over to me and he said, you know, you got to be careful. And then the phone call was cut off. Come on, man.

[Adam Curry]

Come on, come on. You want me to stop sending you this material?

[John C. Dvorak]

No, but it ruins my morning

[Adam Curry]

watch in the afternoon.

[John C. Dvorak]

Let me, let me get us started here because we, we had a, we had a visit.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla will be in New York City today. It's the second leg of their historic US Visit.

[John C. Dvorak]

Historic.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

On Tuesday, the king spoke to Congress, met with the president, and he was a guest of honor at a state dinner last night. CBS News royal contributor Roya Nick is here wondering what you make of the king's speeches in both, in both places

[John C. Dvorak]

because people said that he threatened this reporter of royalty. Her name is Roya. Can you believe it? Ro, Nika, Roya, Nikki, Roy.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

And that needle very carefully. Did anything he say surprised you? I don't know whether it surprised me. I thought both speeches were quite punchy and they were in a very soft power, diplomatic needling kind of way. I thought some of the comments in the Congress speech, the reference to NATO, the importance of NATO. Charles talking about his service in our armed forces. We know that Donald Trump has not been so kind about our armed forces recently, but that focus on repairing and renewing the special relationships so much around this trip has been about how damaged the special relationship is because of our respective governments. And I thought the way that Charles delivered some quite punchy points to Donald Trump, but under the guise of, you know, you're my friend, Donald, and we know how keen Donald Trump is on our family. I thought he pulled it off very well.

[John C. Dvorak]

I know you have a couple of clips about this. Just want to get these two out of the way. So just to review, this is how the British felt that the speech was going to go.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

I asked if there was sort of any reservations on the part of the king. And I was told, not reservation, but apprehension that he's going to try very hard to get the tone right in his speech to Congress. Not worried about the visit, not worried about the Trump stuff because he's done that before and he knows Trump. But his questions really were about how you get the bit to Congress. Right. And I was told, and this was a sort of unforgettable quote. So forgive me. The speech is full of lines that will go over the President's head, but will go down beautifully at home. And I said, what on earth do

[John C. Dvorak]

you mean by that? Oh, because our President is stupid, you see. So we'll go over the President's hat. So I only have one clip from the King. Where were the no Kings protests from the King's speech to the Joint Houses of Congress? And this is the one that just that the Democrats love this one. This was perfect. Founding Fathers were bold and imaginative rebels with a cause. They carried with them and carried forward the great inheritance of the British Enlightenment, as well as the ideals which had an even deeper history in English common law and Magna Carta. We didn't run away from them at all. This is now. We carried with them the deep ideals.

[Adam Curry]

Do you mean the European Enlightenment?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

All right, sure.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, yes.

[John C. Dvorak]

Golf claps. Golf claps. These roots run deep and they are still vital. Our Declaration of Rights of 1689 was not only the foundation of our constitutional monarchy, but also provided the source of so many of the principles reiterated, often verbatim, in the American Bill of rights of 1791. And those roots go even further back in history. The U.S. supreme Court Historical Society has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances. Oh, yes. Yes. Oh, yes. Going crazy. Oh, yes. Hooting and hollering. The same people who brought you no Kings are cheering on the King because he said, checks and balances for our King. Our King is no good. Oh, my Lord. That was. That was.

[Adam Curry]

No kings. I like the Trump. I think reposted one of the photos with the. With the caption, two kings.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, he had. I don't know what clips you have, but I have a 30 second kind of funny bit from the dinner. I'll just play that.

[Adam Curry]

I'll play it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Donald Trump]

And I also want to. Before we really begin, I want to congratulate Charles on having made a fantastic speech today at Congress. He got the Democrats to stand. I've never been able to do this.

[John C. Dvorak]

I couldn't believe it.

[Donald Trump]

I couldn't believe it. They liked him more than they've ever liked any Republican or Democrat, actually. So I just want to thank you and congratulations. It's not an easy thing to do. That's a tough place.

[John C. Dvorak]

Lordy, lordy. Do you have anything from the speech or the dinner?

[Adam Curry]

It's kind of. Not any specific clip. I thought the speech was dull.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, the speech was very dull. The dinner was better. There were some good.

[Adam Curry]

PBS has a rundown I thought was pretty good. This is a king's visit.

[John C. Dvorak]

King. Where is king's visit? Here we go.

[Adam Curry]

The king and queen of England were

[John C. Dvorak]

received with high diplomatic fanfare this morning at the white House, day two of the royal visit.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

This afternoon, king Charles became just the second monarch to address congress in this, the 250th anniversary of America declaring independence from the king's five times great grandfather. It's King George III.

[John C. Dvorak]

Why the laugh in there? What is the laugh about the five times great grand. I just don't understand it. Did you hear it?

[Adam Curry]

That's an excellent spot.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Congress.

[Adam Curry]

I have no idea.

[John C. Dvorak]

This is interesting.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

To address congress in this, the 250th anniversary of America Declari. Independence from the king's five times great grandfather. That's King George III.

[John C. Dvorak]

I don't want to. What's so funny about that? I mean, I think it's funny that he's here while we're celebrating that, but. Okay.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Nick Shifrin reports.

[John C. Dvorak]

Today, at a rainy white house, there was pomp and pageantry. Pomp in a crappy high school, school bands. And after this military ceremony, the U.S. s highest diplomatic honor. President Trump did what brits do when things might get a little bit awkward. Talk about the weather.

[Donald Trump]

What a beautiful british day this is.

[John C. Dvorak]

President Trump is the son of a Scott and today recalled his mother's fondness for everything royal, especially a man Trump today called a blessing.

[Donald Trump]

I also remember her saying very clearly, charles, look. Young Charles. He's so cute.

[John C. Dvorak]

My mother.

[Donald Trump]

My mother had a crush on Charles. Can you believe it? Amazing how I wonder what she's thinking right now.

[John C. Dvorak]

And president Trump celebrated what he called the free world forged together 80 years ago by president Franklin Roosevelt and british prime minister Winston Churchill.

[Donald Trump]

That understanding of our nation's unique bond and role in history is the essence of our special relationship. And we hope it will always remain that way.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, special relationship. No one ever talks about what that is exactly. Other than our CIA and MI6 are in bed together.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah. Five eyes.

[John C. Dvorak]

That's very special.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, that's all it is, sharing information. According to kiriakou, they actually don't keep anything from each other.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, I have some kiriakou for later.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, that guy is all over the place. He's got an agent now, you know?

[John C. Dvorak]

Of course he does. The agent has an agent. Got to have an agent if you're an agent.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, there you go. Okay, part two of this.

[John C. Dvorak]

America's words carry weight and meaning. Meaning, as they have since independence, the actions of this great nation matter even more. And so this afternoon, for only the second time in almost exactly 250 years of separated history, a British monarch addressed a joint meeting of Congress with an appeal to unity. Whatever our differences, whatever disagreements we may have, we stand united in our commitment to uphold democracy. Democracy. To protect all our people from harm and to salute the courage of those who daily risk their lives in the service of our countries. That line an echo of the first and before today only British monarch to

[Adam Curry]

address a joint session of Congress.

[John C. Dvorak]

Charles mother, Queen Elizabeth II. 35 years ago.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

The best progress is made when Europeans

[John C. Dvorak]

and Americans act in concert. It is an era that is in many ways more volatile and more dangerous than the world to which my late mother spoke. But even if in a soothing baritone, King Charles did not avoid drawing British distinction in his baritone. He's not a baritone. Do you find him a baritone?

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, I find him a baritone. All right.

[John C. Dvorak]

I find him not a baritone British way. With the Trump administration not a tenor, we must also reflect on our shared responsibilities to safeguard nature. That same unyielding resolve is needed for the defence of Ukraine and her most courageous people. We answered the call together, as our people have done so for more than a century, shoulder to shoulder. But today, that implicit criticism did not dampen the President's riding royal coattails. The White House posting this photo with the caption, two kings. So let's talk about the special relationship.

[Adam Curry]

And beside. Before you do, though, let's go back to Queen Elizabeth's comment that she didn't even mention the UK or the special relationship. She said the Europeans. Yes, that's because that's when they were thinking, they're part of Europe.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. Anyway, yes, yes, the special relationship was discussed at the dinner. I like the dinner a lot. I thought the first lady looked fantastic. The whole thing was groovy. Speeches were interesting here as part of that special relationship. My mother's first prime minister, Sir Winston Churchill, understood this so well, but then he himself was half American. A tradition of shared transatlantic heritage, which I am pleased to say is alive and well in the White House today. Day indeed. Such was the closeness that Sir Winston, while staying here in the White House in those rooms you showed us upstairs, emerged naked from the bathtub to discover the door opening as President Roosevelt came in for a chat with rapier wit. The President cast aside rapier embarrassment by declaring that the Prime Minister has nothing to conceal from the President of the United States. President Trump saw our special relationship in a different manner.

[Donald Trump]

And we're doing a little Middle east work right now too, if you might know, and we're doing very well. We have militarily defeated that particular opponent and we're never going to let that opponent ever. Charles agrees with, with me even more than I do. We're never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon. They know that and they've known it right now very well.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay, no nukes. But I'd say the joke of the evening went to King Charles. If I may say so, it is a particular pleasure to be back in this wonderful building, the heart of your democracy. On this occasion, I cannot help noticing the readjustment to The East Wing, Mr. President, following your visit to Windsor Castle last year. And I'm sorry to say that we British, of course, made our own small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814.

[Adam Curry]

Very good.

[John C. Dvorak]

That was funny. That was a good gag. John, for those who do not know the history, explain what happened in 1814.

[Adam Curry]

Well, we had the War of 1812 essentially with Canada, but the Brits were behind the whole thing and they burnt down the White House.

[John C. Dvorak]

Bastards, I tell you. Yes, so he basically admitted that they were behind it all. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Confession.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes, thank you very much. In the meantime, the president went on 60 Minutes, as we all know. You know, Barry Weiss running 60 Minutes, running CBS. So that would be a friendly interview. And I think the President got exactly what he wanted. Did you see any of this?

[Adam Curry]

Oh, yeah, you can play the clip. It's great.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, well, I have a couple of clips. And this was Nora and the President was ready for her.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

The so called manifesto is a stunning thing to read, Mr. President. He appears to reference a motive. In it he writes this, quote, administration officials, they are targets. And he also wrote this. I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile rapist and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. What's your reaction?

[Donald Trump]

Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you're, you're. You're horrible people. Horrible people.

[John C. Dvorak]

You're horrible.

[Donald Trump]

I did write that. I'm, I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Oh, you think he was referring to.

[Donald Trump]

Excuse me.

[John C. Dvorak]

I love how she then. Oh, you think it was.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, that was great.

[John C. Dvorak]

But that, but that, but this was just. It could have been anybody. But you think it was about you. Oh, good try, Nora.

[Donald Trump]

I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Oh, you think he was referring to you?

[Donald Trump]

Excuse me, I'm not a pedophile. You read that from some sick person. I got a son associated with all stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were.

[John C. Dvorak]

Other side of the plate. What does that mean? Is he switching to baseball now?

[Adam Curry]

Yeah,

[John C. Dvorak]

there was a couple of things off with the president in this interview.

[Donald Trump]

Your friends on the other side of he was pissed the plate. The ones that were involved with, let's say, Epstein or other things. But I said to myself, you know, I'll do this interview and they'll probably. I read the manifesto. You know, he's a sick person. But you should be ashamed of yourself reading that, because I'm not any of those things. Mr. President's words. Excuse me, you shouldn't be reading that in 60 minutes. You're a disgrace. But go ahead, but go ahead.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

The other thing that he wrote and then.

[John C. Dvorak]

And then the president, I mean, is he the only person in America who does not know the full name Southern Poverty Law Center? Is he the only one who doesn't know that? Because he was right about what he's saying. But, oh, man.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

I mention that because again, as his motive, and you brought this up, he had social media accounts that had anti Trump and anti Christian rhetoric.

[Donald Trump]

You should read. Why don't you read all the anti Trump. Why don't you read it? You just did. So why don't you read it?

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Well, he had a lot of anti Christian rhetoric. He had. He was part of a group called the Wide Awakes. He had attended a no protest in California. What did security tell you about what may have been his motives?

[Donald Trump]

The reason you have people like that is you have people doing no kings. I'm not a king. What I am. If I was a king, I wouldn't be dealing with you. No, I'm not a king. I get it. I don't laugh. I see these no kings which are funded just like the Southern law was funded. You saw all that. Southern law is financing the KKK and lots of other radical terrible groups. And then they go out and they say, oh, we've got to stop the kkk. And yet they give him hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

They were right.

[Donald Trump]

It's a total scam run by the Democrats. It shows you that like Charlottesville, Charlottesville was all funded by the Southern Law. That was a Southern Law deal too. And it was done to make me look bad. And it turned out to be a total fake. It basically was a rigged election. This was a part of the rigging of the election. And that's what you really should be doing. I mean, I hope one of your 60 minute episodes, which really hasn't changed very much for the last few years, I'm surprised. But one of those episodes should be on Southern Law and the fact that they spent millions and millions of dollars on absolute far right and just bad, bad groups. And then they'd use those groups and they'd say, these are Republican groups and we're coming to your rescue. And they're the ones that have funded it and they're the ones that kept them, keep them going.

[John C. Dvorak]

Southern Law. Southern law. Southern law. Mr. President, get it together. Southern Law. And. And then the question that she even hesitated to ask because it's so far beneath anyone at 60 minutes, I hesitate

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

to ask you about this, but as you know, these conspiracy theories out there on the left and the right, that the event was staged or that it didn't happen.

[Donald Trump]

What, last night didn't happen.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

That. Yeah. That it was because it was your first time there, or that Butler didn't happen. These conspiracy theories that are gaining traction

[Donald Trump]

on October 7th didn't happen. And World War II didn't happen and the Holocaust didn't happen and many things didn't happen. Yeah, no, I hear it. I don't know. I think they're more sick than they are con people. But it is a lot of con in it too. I haven't heard that last night didn't happen. What usually takes a little bit longer,

[John C. Dvorak]

it usually takes about four months for, you know, for our false flags to be recognized by the general public.

[Donald Trump]

Usually they wait about two or three months to start.

[John C. Dvorak]

I think.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

I think that. And forgive me, I'm not. I don't pedal in that stuff or certainly.

[John C. Dvorak]

What do you mean? I don't pedal in that stuff. What is this peddling? You just did it.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

I don't pedal in that stuff or certainly look at it because we. I was there. But the idea. I'm wondering where this is coming.

[Donald Trump]

Be a tough. I think that'd be a tough sell.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, where is this coming from? She says, where is this coming from? Oh, you're back. Did you up off. Okay. Anyway, so that was. Did you hear that the.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, I heard it.

[John C. Dvorak]

What do you got on the Shooting. John, I'm sure you got some clips on this shooting, on this White House correspondence. Inner shooting.

[Adam Curry]

Well, you know, there was a lot of. Of yakety yak about, oh, you know, you know, it's not our fault and all the rest. And so I, I put together a. Just a few short 12 and 13 second clips and a couple of super cuts.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh.

[Adam Curry]

That we should be reminded what caused the shooting.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, okay.

[Adam Curry]

And I want to play these. These are all on Trump.

[John C. Dvorak]

Is this a bit like our. The Trump Psycho? What is that?

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, you know, I lost the list.

[John C. Dvorak]

What was that? The Trump. What was that called?

[Adam Curry]

That's the problem. I forgot what it's called.

[John C. Dvorak]

Wait a minute.

[Adam Curry]

Somebody wanted to give me a copy of it and I said, yeah, I got it right here. And I couldn't find.

[John C. Dvorak]

Was the. Goodness gracious, I can't remember what we called it. We called it the, Was it the cycle.

[Adam Curry]

The Trump derangement thing. I'm talking about the list of things

[John C. Dvorak]

he's been accused of. Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Well, let's play these on Trump clips. These are some of the things triggered the event.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, wait. Trump rotation.

[Adam Curry]

The Trump rotation.

[John C. Dvorak]

Hold on a second. Should we play that real quick? It's, it's about 58 seconds. Just to remind people.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah. Okay, I have my list and you might want to see if there's anything I left out. This is the Trump rotation. There's two categories. There's a regular and then there's the criminal. But here we go. Ready?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yep.

[Adam Curry]

Liar, incompetent, unhinged, illegitimate president, white supremacist, racist, bully, immature, Russian agent, narcissist, mean, long ties, insane tweets, too much, small hands, small penis, big red butt, criminal, mean, racist, immature, thin skinned, runs the mob, has no money, unstable, fatter than 239 pounds, bankrupt, 25th amendment should be instituted, he hates women, misogynist, holds grudges forever, placed golf a lot. Obstruction of justice, money laundering and clown John.

[John C. Dvorak]

No wonder we're making America white again. And that's from eight years ago?

[Adam Curry]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

Old, old, old. Okay, so you have some updates to that in different format, but the idea is clear.

[Adam Curry]

Well, here's the old supercut. That was probably from the first. That was during the first Trump administration. This is on Trump. Old, super cut.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. And maybe there will be.

[John C. Dvorak]

People need to start taking to the streets. This is a dictator.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there Is unrest in our lives, enemies of the state.

[John C. Dvorak]

Show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless.

[John C. Dvorak]

When they go low, we kick.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

How do you resist the temptation to run up and bring her neck?

[John C. Dvorak]

Biggest terror threat in this country is white men, Most of them radicalized to the right.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

I thought he should have punched him in the face. I said, even if you lost, he insulted your wife.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

He came down the escalator and called Mexicans rapists and murders. He said, well, what do you think I should have done? I said, I think you should have punched him in the face and then gotten out of the race. You would have been a hero.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'd like to punch him in the face.

[Adam Curry]

I said, if we were in high

[John C. Dvorak]

school, I'd take him behind the gym

[Donald Trump]

and beat the hell out of him.

[John C. Dvorak]

Punch some people in the face. When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? They're still gonna have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump. That's a fact.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Look, as his character is stabbed to death. Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him? I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.

[John C. Dvorak]

A Missouri state senator is under investigation by the Secret Service after saying she hopes President Trump is assassinated.

[Adam Curry]

I will go and take Trump out tonight.

[John C. Dvorak]

And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anymore anywhere.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

And. And sadly, the domestic enemies to our voting system and our honoring our Constitution are right at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They're not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they're not going to stop after Election Day. And that should be. Everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't. They're not going to let up, and they should not.

[John C. Dvorak]

If you think we're rallying now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh, I don't see anything inflammatory about that. What's the problem?

[Adam Curry]

No, it's nothing, really.

[John C. Dvorak]

Nothing inflammatory. Hey, free freedom of speech, baby. Free speech.

[Adam Curry]

Here's a short on Trump newer supercut.

[John C. Dvorak]

Let me ask you tonight, do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Yes, I do.

[John C. Dvorak]

This is what kicking the shit out of fascism looks like. They try to prevent the spread of the lawlessness and the fascist chaos that's been unleashed against us.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

So when we say Donald Trump is a fascist, fascism, a huge component of fascism is Uniting racism, bigotry, a form of racist nationalism.

[John C. Dvorak]

This is. We are now living in a fascist dictatorship.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

We are worried about potential rise of fascism in this country. We're worried about our democracy falling to an authoritarian and potentially fascist form of

[John C. Dvorak]

government, not only to roll over to Donald Trump's will, but to roll over our democracy and allow him to take

[Adam Curry]

over this country as a fascist dictator.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

When fascism isn't just coming, it's already here.

[John C. Dvorak]

The former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, said no one has ever been more dangerous to this country than Donald Trump, and he is a fascist to his core. Again, I just don't see why people can get riled up over this. I mean, that sounds just like rhetoric. It's not. It's nothing dangerous.

[Adam Curry]

And so we have, by the way, in that second clip there, there was Raskin talk. Raskin was there talking about fascism.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

After the shooting. Here's what Raskin said. This is on Trump. Raskin.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

And you have, as many of your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. And do you think twice about that when something like this happens, what rhetoric

[John C. Dvorak]

do you have in mind?

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Just talking about some of the fact that he, you know, is terrible for this country and so on and so forth. I understand that that's your democratic right, but overall.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Do you.

[John C. Dvorak]

I have a responsibility problem with Donald Trump at all. I like how she says that's your democratic right. Constitutional right, maybe. What Democratic right, son? Nicole Wallace. Moron.

[Adam Curry]

That was Dana Bash.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, just as good.

[Adam Curry]

Let's listen to. Here's Mark. This is on Trump. Ruffalo. The guy is a convicted felon or convicted rapist. He's a pedophile. He's the worst human being.

[John C. Dvorak]

If we're relying on this guy's morality

[Adam Curry]

for the most powerful country in the world.

[John C. Dvorak]

World, then we're all in a lot of trouble. Now, I'll say I'm a little disappointed, because if I'd known you were doing this, I could have gotten quite a few of voices on the right saying the same thing about Trump being a pedophile. It's not just the left that is saying that anymore.

[Adam Curry]

Well, this is hard to top this one. Okay, this is Ted Liu.

[John C. Dvorak]

There's highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children. Of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. Hmm. And this is in the Epstein files.

[Adam Curry]

No, it's just something he made up.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay.

[Adam Curry]

And last on this list is Kimmel.

[John C. Dvorak]

Our first lady, Melania is here. Look at Melania. So beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have A glow like an expectant widow.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Disgusting, deranged. If you think it's funny, you're disgusting and deranged.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. To be fair, that was taped before anything happened, obviously. Yeah. And actually the whole bit he did about, you know, he did this whole bit about, well, there's no comedian that's going to be a mentalist. Ok. By the way, shouldn't the mentalist have told the President to go away quickly? Because wouldn't he have known? Doesn't the mentalist know ahead of time what's going to happen? No, that's not. Oh, that's a. That's not a mentalist. Okay.

[Adam Curry]

No mentalist. No, his mentalist is bullcrap.

[John C. Dvorak]

But Kimmel had some funny bits in that he was, he was doing a. As if he were doing the, the White House correspondence dinner bit. It was. All right. I mean, yeah, it's inappropriate. In hindsight, ABC might have considered not airing that. In hindsight. But is that's just dumb jokes. I'm not offended by any of it. I do have a theory about this guy and how that ties into Comey, this guy being the shooter. And let's just play a couple of clips. This is the update about 8647.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Former FBI director James Comey, indicted again by President Trump's Department of Justice, this time by a federal grand jury over a 2025 Instagram post showing seashells arranged to read 8, 647. Prosecutors argue the numbers can be interpreted as code, with code sometimes used as slang for eliminate 47, referring to President Donald Trump as the 47th president, saying the image could be seen as a threat against the President. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announcing the charges during a news conference yesterday. Listen,

[John C. Dvorak]

the first count is that on or about May 15th of last year, he knowingly and willfully making a threat to take the life of and to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States. Count two, James Comey knowingly and willfully transmitting in interstate commerce a communication that contained a threat to kill the President of the United States. Both of these counts carry a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years. So I think it's fair to say that threatening the life of anybody is dangerous and potentially a crime. Threatening the life of the President of the United States will never be tolerated by the Department of Justice. While this case is unique and this indictment stands out because of the name of the defendant, his alleged conduct is the same kind of conduct that we will never tolerate and that we will always investigate and regularly prosecute. I Hate to do this, but I do have to play a funny little bit from the ladies tone.

[Adam Curry]

A clip from the View will be played. Did it again. Shelter in place.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Yesterday, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by the Justice Department for a social media message he posted and deleted last year. It featured a photo of seashells that read 8647. The DOJ claims it's a call for violence, but Comey denies the charges and is ready for his day in court. So I just want to be clear. Are they interviewing the seashells themselves or are they interviewing Sally who sells seashells by the seashell, I mean is what this. This is more distraction. So from now on, when we think that there's a. I'm going to start saying distraction alert.

[John C. Dvorak]

What. That's what this is.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

You can ring your bell.

[John C. Dvorak]

What. What are, what are these ladies doing? Are they trying to do no agenda stuff now with that bell?

[Adam Curry]

Distraction of the.

[John C. Dvorak]

Nothing to see here. Look at that. Yeah, we have the dist of the week as well. Ladies. Easy does it. No, I, I think I know what's connecting this and I was searching for quite a while and of course this Cole Allen guy, his, His Instagram is gone and his blue cry is gone. So we can't really verify anything. I was kind of looking to see if at any point maybe he had liked some of Comey's posts or had commented on them or following him. And I think there's some wording in his manifesto that is going to be the key issue here for the Department of Justice. CNN reports some of Allen's social media

[Adam Curry]

posts compared President Trump to Hitler, encouraged

[John C. Dvorak]

people to buy guns, and questioned whether the first assassination attempt against Trump was staged.

[Adam Curry]

Investigators are looking into an account on

[John C. Dvorak]

Blue Scott, an alternative to acts frequented by progressives appearing to belong to Allen. He apparently posted under the name Coldforce, the same name signed on his alleged manifesto. Archived posts show him reposting political content and criticism of President Trump and White House policies. He described Trump as a sociopathic mob boss, mob boss, Mob boss in relation to the Epstein files. So why is mob boss so important? Important? Well, let's ask the don himself.

[Donald Trump]

They know. 86, you know, in 80s it's a mob term for kill him, you know, you ever see the movies? 86 the mobster says to one of his wonderful associates, 86 him. That means kill him. It's. I think of it as a mob term. I don't know. People think of it as something having to do with disappearing. But the Mob uses that term, term to say when they want to kill somebody. They say 86 the son of a gun. I'm trying to keep the language nice and clear. They don't use that term, son of a gun, they use another term. But that's a mob term for killing.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Yeah, but do you really think your life is in danger?

[Donald Trump]

Because probably, I don't know, you know, based on, based on what I'm seeing out there. Yeah. The people like Comey have created tremendous danger, I think for politicians and others. He, you know, Comey is a dirty cop. He's a very dirty cop. He cheated on the elections. He tried to help Hillary Clinton. As you know, he dismissed a lot of things that he should have proceeded with. I wasn't involved, but he should have proceeded with. No, he's a dirty cop, he's a crooked man. Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

So having this indictment come out with, with this mob boss. Mob boss, Mob talk. Mob boss. That's what, that's where they're going to hang on him. And if they have some other link, social media link between that and this guy, that's what they're going to go for.

[Adam Curry]

It's not, this isn't going to go anywhere. The whole thing is. I don't think they're really serious about it. They just want to break him.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

This is going to take the guy's money down to nothing.

[John C. Dvorak]

Major Garrett had a question. When Attorney General Todd Blanch was rolling out this 8647, and I think it was a valid question. In 2022, someone well known in right wing circles, Jack piscobac Posted on x86:46 he did not take it down. He did not apologize. Mr. Comey has done both of those things. The Biden Justice Department never prosecuted him. By the standard, that grand jury Jack Posobiec should face charges as well. Will the Justice Department pursue that case? I agree. I agree. Throw Posobic in jail. Arrest that man.

[Adam Curry]

He was on with Bannon. Bannon Banyan, and he says he's, he's, he's lawyered up. He's expecting to be arrested. Arrested.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. That's excellent. No, that's good. That's good. Yeah. You shouldn't do that. In general, a bad idea. Yeah, yeah. It's not a good idea. But they were more.

[Adam Curry]

Stay out of it.

[John C. Dvorak]

There were more indictments. Not all of them got as much play. Did you hear about the other indictment?

[Adam Curry]

Well, the guy that worked for Fauci.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, I got a clue.

[Adam Curry]

And that's leading to the thought that Fauci is going to be next. But they have, it seems until May 11th. Yeah, because and then everything goes into then it's statute of limits for Fauci.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. So here's here's a clip about that indictment. Dr. Anthony Fauci's former senior advisor was federally indicted on charges of allegedly taking part in a conspiracy to evade federal records requests regarding government funded COVID 19 research. David Morens is a former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disaster Diseases official who advised Fauci in the agency's Office of the director from 2006 to 2022. He is facing charges of conspiracy against the United States destruction, alteration or falsification of records in federal investigations, concealment, removal or mutilation of records, and aiding and abetting. According to the April 16 indictment recently made public, Morin and at least two co conspirators deliberately concealed information and false falsified records to suppress alternative theories about the origins of the coronavirus. The allegations stem from the suspension of a controversial government grant to Echo Health Alliance, a non profit US Research organization suspected of contributing to the start of the COVID 19 pandemic through risky virus studies and its subsequent reinstatement. In 2020, the $600,000 grant was terminated based on suspicions that a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of virology caused the COVID 19 outbreak, but the grant was restored three years later. Authorities alleged that MORES and other co conspirators worked to help Co Conspirator 1, who is potentially Echo Health Alliance President Peter Daszak, reinstate the grant and counter the narrative that COVID 19 leaked from a lab in anticipation that their communications would be subject to Freedom of Information act requests. They all allegedly agreed in writing to intentionally hide their collusion from public view by corresponding over Morin's personal Gmail rather than his NIH email account. The three allegedly exchanged non public NIH information records that should be stored on government systems to influence NIH to fund Echo Health Alliance. And although we've covered this ad nauseam, the time that all this came out just a short clip here to remind us of how brazen these people were about it. Morons who served as a senior advisor to Fauci from 2006 to 2022, conducted official government business from a private email account and asked the National Institutes of Health's FOIA liaison for tips on how to evade records requests in an email from February 2021. More I learned from our FOIA lady here how to make emails disappear after I am foia but before the search starts, arrest the FOIA lady. He later went on to write the that he, quote, deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to Gmail. Two months later, in April 2021, Morens also wrote, There is no worry about FOIAs. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private Gmail or hand it to him at work or at his Fauci. He's. What's that?

[Adam Curry]

Tony Fauci.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And he was just writing this. These guys are so dumb, dude. His private Gmail or handed to him at work or at his house. He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble. In September 2021, Morens wrote that he would, quote, always communicate on gmail because my NIH email is FOIAed constantly and quote, delete anything I don't want to see in the New York Times. Morens oversaw a now infamous grant from the NIH to the Manhattan based nonprofit EcoHealth alliance beginning in 2014 that ended up funneling US taxpayer dollars to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for bat coronavirus research. So I think the idea here is to squeeze this guy to squeal on Fauci.

[Adam Curry]

But they need to. I think Fauci's cooked. I mean, with all the lying he did in front of Rand Paul. Well, I think they're just working on making sure this airtight. They're not fooling around like the comey thing, which I don't think is airtight. I think they're gonna go nowhere with it. But the Fauci thing, They're going to get him.

[John C. Dvorak]

I hope so. That guy was evil. And they need to get Collins. He's not cleaning this either. Remember Collins playing his guitar with his wife?

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, that guy.

[John C. Dvorak]

Do we still have that clip he played? Puff the Magic Dragon? Don't you remember that, Collins?

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, vaguely.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. Puff. No, it was Puff coronavirus. I don't think I have it. Francis Collins. Let's see now, if you'll indulge me, because it's been kind of promoted as if it might be a grand finale of a musical sort. I guess I'd like to play ourselves. This was. This was the head. The head of all things. Sickness in America with a little song. Yes. So if I might. I just need a microphone. Why? There's a guitar right here. How about that? It's like. He's like. He's on a Muppet Show. He's like. He's Kermit. Yeah. This is a song where the tune Will be familiar to you. Here we go. Unless you came from another planet recently, but the words are going to be quite different because this is really a song. Oh, come on. I'm trying to imagine. Come on. What will that be like? We're gonna get there and you're gonna help us get there. So that's what this is about, man. Arrest him for violation of music. Where past the pandemic. I forgot this one. We're free. Oh, it's good times on the show back then, John. He had, he had Kennedy's job essentially.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

And that's what he was doing. Oh, my goodness. My goodness. And then on this, this all happened, you know, basically the same week, same day. Super agent J.D. vance. The frauds are going after everybody. Currently underway, federal agents seem leaving the Quality Learning center. And Brooke Taylor has more on that and what they're looking for. Brooke, good morning.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Hi, Bill. Good morning. Yeah, we have had a photographer there at the daycare since this morning capturing video of those federal agents just going in and out of the building collecting evidence as part of the DOJ's fraud investigation in Minnesota. Take a look at this video here. Sources tell Fox that federal agents are rating about the 22 businesses across Minneapolis this morning and sources say many of them are tied to Somali owned operations. Now the location that you're looking at right now, it's the Quality Learning Center. This is the day went viral. It blew social media because of a sign outside with learning that was literally misspelled. And then shortly after that, the Trump administration announced it was freezing child care funding Minnesota and calling for a full audit of certain daycare centers. And just checking my emails now it looks like we got a statement from DHS sharing quote, homeland Security investigations in cooperation with our law enforcement partners executed criminal search warrants in Minneapolis relating to the rampant fraud of US Taxpayers dollars. And as you can see, see their federal agents still outside one of those daycare centers where they have been the last few hours. And all of this comes as Governor Tim Waltz is expected to deliver his State of the State address tonight. And it's obviously comes with a lot of questions over oversight.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. Well, at least it looks like they're doing something I think people want that people want.

[Adam Curry]

I like the fact that Waltz is chimed in and taking credit for the whole thing.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, yeah. You don't happen to have a clip of him saying that?

[Adam Curry]

No, I don't.

[John C. Dvorak]

But he's too bad.

[Adam Curry]

He's on top of it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm taking care of business here, people

[Adam Curry]

all right, I have a kind of a side clip here since we're talking about disease. Oh, have you heard about this typhus in Los Angeles?

[John C. Dvorak]

You know, ever since your operation you're really focusing in on death and disease on the show. I mean, I don't know if that's related but.

[Adam Curry]

Well, you know, this is the new me.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Well, it seems that in Los Angeles we have all time highs of flea borne typhus, which is a disease. It's a bacterial infection. It can be treated with antibiotics but it's pretty serious. According to the LA County Department of Public Health, nine out of 10 of the people who contract this have to be hospitalized. So this is not just a head cold and this is carried by fleas on rats.

[Adam Curry]

Rats.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

And guess why we have the all time high of flea born typhus in Los Angeles county immigrants? Because it's a combination of things. It's the fact that they won't enforce an anti camping ordinance and stop people from living on the sidewalks. That's part of what's drawing rats. There also was a state ban on some of the poison poisons that people were using for rat control in order to preserve the mountain lion population. So that's a factor also.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah. Because the mountain lions downtown la.

[John C. Dvorak]

Hold on, hold on, wait a minute. So don't use rat poison because it's hurting the mountain lions.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

That are roaming the streets of Los Angeles.

[Adam Curry]

Lai the wolves.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, excellent.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

That people were using for rat control in order to preserve the mountain lion population. So that's a factor also. And then we have garbage.

[John C. Dvorak]

Garbage.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Unprecedented levels all over. Illegal dumping all over. And why is that? Because we have idiotic laws in California trying to reduce the amount of landfill. So they try to force the businesses to make do with smaller and smaller containers and fewer containers. And the result is illegal dumping. All of these things. It's just blithering, idiotic policy. And now we have medieval diseases sweeping through Los Angeles County.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, medieval disease. Have I told you about the term typhus in Dutch? In the Netherlands? I have a feeling maybe I told this to someone recently. To this day, you know, the Netherlands, Holland, very old, very old country. Amsterdam itself is like 770 years old, I think just that city to this day, people, if they're mad at you, like really mad, they'll say Christ the tifas. Or that can also just be if you stub your toe, kreichtifus. But it's when said to someone else it means get typhus.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

People say the Dutch are so kind to each Other in the Middle Ages, if you had a typhus. Hey, you get typhus? I guess that was a die. Kind of like why don't you die type thing. But we don't have to die from typhus anymore, do we?

[Adam Curry]

I don't. Well, it's not something you want to. You always get hospitalized, apparently.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, it's not good. But at least we have mountain lions. That's a good idea.

[Adam Curry]

I'm focusing on gloom and doom. Is that because I played the Kara Swiss Swisher thing? Is that the reason?

[John C. Dvorak]

No, on the. On the last show you had. The last two shows has been. Here's a new flu. He's a new disease. We're gonna die.

[Adam Curry]

We have another new flu.

[John C. Dvorak]

You see, I'm telling you, you just. You just want death and destruction. This is what. What you're all about.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay. What is it? You got a new flu. New flu?

[Adam Curry]

I thought I had a new flu thing on this thing.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, the carrot.

[Adam Curry]

Look at the list.

[John C. Dvorak]

Carousewisha doesn't.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, I didn't know. No, no, no. New flu. This is worse.

[John C. Dvorak]

What do you got?

[Adam Curry]

New bad opioid.

[John C. Dvorak]

This. Oh, have I heard it. I've tried it.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

A new danger on Bay Area streets tonight as health leaders discover the signs of a deadly new drug. San Francisco just had its first overdose death from a new kind of opioid. Good evening, I'm a date.

[John C. Dvorak]

And I'm Dave Ashley. Thanks for joining us. The drug is stronger than fentanyl, believe it or not, and just started to circulate in the United States. This one is especially alarming to experts because especially we have to handle fentanyl do not work very well against it.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

ABC 7 Eyewitness News reporter Tara Campbell has covered the fentanyl crisis for years and she explains what makes this drug different. San Francisco public health officials are sounding the alarm on a new synthetic opioid.

[John C. Dvorak]

This is not fentanyl. We believe it is more potent than fentanyl. It was found, we believe, in someone using a counterfeit pill.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

It's called cyclophene. And for the first time, it's showing up in San Francisco linked to an overdose death earlier this month.

[Adam Curry]

The first time DEA seen it was in 2024 at one of our labs down in Florida.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Says cyclophene could show up in just about any other drug.

[Adam Curry]

It can be mixed into a pill, it can be sold as a powder, it can be mixed in with cocaine, it can be sold as cocaine again.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

And making the drug most concerning is it's difficult to test if it's been put in other drugs.

[Adam Curry]

And importantly, it's not detected on the available fentanyl test strips that are out there.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

It's also believed to be resistant to Narcan, also known as naloxone, the nasal spray that can reverse an opioid overdose. Officials warning it could take multiple doses for it to kick in. The Public Health Department and the DEA both reiterating the importance of staying away from counterfeit pills, saying the drug supply is as unpredictable as ever. Tara Campbell, ABC7 Eyewitness News.

[John C. Dvorak]

Here's a thought. Kids don't take any pills. How about that? Don't take any pills. Any pills at all. Okay.

[Adam Curry]

Those days are over.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, from death and destruction. Very good. I've got a couple things about Iran as the war, which doesn't seem to be a fighting war at the moment continues. We have posts and tweets and slashes on the X's and all kinds of stuff. And here's the latest. So President Trump issuing a new warning to Tehran overnight as he he reportedly tells aides to prepare for an extended blockade of Iran. Lucas Tomilson is live in Dubai with the latest. Hey, Lucas. Good morning, Brian.

[Adam Curry]

After the state dinner where President Trump honored King Charles and Rory McIlroy, the president taking the truth social early this

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

morning to send this warning to Iran

[John C. Dvorak]

about the war ending saying, quote, Iran

[Adam Curry]

can't get their act together. They don't know how to sign a non nuclear deal, they beg.

[John C. Dvorak]

Better get smart soon.

[Adam Curry]

Perhaps a reference to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Now the Wall Street Journal reporting Trump tells aides to prepare for extended blockade of Iran.

[John C. Dvorak]

Quote, he assessed that his other options, resume bombing or walk away from the

[Adam Curry]

conflict carried more risk than maintaining the blockade. Officials said. Now that blockade, Brian, has been in effect for over two weeks in an attempt to open the Strait of Hormuz,

[John C. Dvorak]

which remains effectively closed.

[Adam Curry]

While the blockade aims to shut down

[John C. Dvorak]

the oil trade in Iran. It's a effects are also being felt

[Adam Curry]

at home as the price of gasoline

[John C. Dvorak]

is now the highest since July 2022. Now pain also being felt inside Iran

[Adam Curry]

as the Iranian rial has plummeted to a record low, trading at around 1.8 million rials to the dollar.

[John C. Dvorak]

You might need a wheelbarrow to go shopping. Oh, that's not good. So of course, I'm in constant contact with the oil baron about all of this. He is, after all, an oil baron and he follows everything and he understands this and he has a lot of knowledge. So I'M always trying to get information out. And then he just went off yesterday, like, I can't believe this stupid president. This president, he doesn't know anything. He's saying stupid things. Stupid. What an idiot. And this is what it was about

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

President Trump said on Sunday. Well, the Iranians have only three days before their pipelines explode because they've had to shut down production. And the pipelines are under so much pressure because they're still full of oil. That doesn't just sound like a scene from a Tom Clancy novel. It is literally a scene from a Tom Clancy novel. Although a former U.S. intelligence officer told me it's silly. Of course they know how to shut down production. They are not three days away from their pipelines exploding.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes, I would say the oil baron agrees that the pipe, the pipelines will not explode, but they will have to shut down production. And it does take a bit to restart it. But we know how to do that. Everyone knows how to do that. It happened during COVID and they're offloading, you know, now they're. What happened during COVID Well, there was less oil being used, so everyone slowed.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, but they didn't shut down any refineries.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, no, this is just the wells. Not talk about the refineries. The wells.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, the wells.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, the wells.

[Adam Curry]

Refineries are a pain in the ass to start.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, no, but they're slowing it down. They're, you know, they're flaring all the time. So, you know, but eventually they'll, you know, these rickety ships that they're loading the oil onto, they will reach a capacity and they're just not selling. So that's why the rial is in the tank. And the results are predict. Well, markets will be open today after an unsuccessful weekend for diplomacy in the Middle East. New uncertainties in the region weighing on the stock market and oil futures. The situation in the Strait of Hormuz has sent global energy costs skyrocketing. As you just heard in Bradley Blackburn's report, the impact on gas prices. Oil up roughly 40% since the conflict began. President Trump says the prices could remain high through November. A CBS News poll found most Americans think gas prices have been a financial hardship. As we also heard from that report from Bradley Blackburn. Democrats are blaming the administration. Yes. And so this is the part that the oil baron and I are reaching consensus on when the president says through November. Well, what's in November? November, we know, are the midterms. So he's pegging that. And the belief is that he will delight and surprise everybody by drastically lowering gas prices before that and then being able to spike the ball just before the midterms.

[Adam Curry]

So it's not how are you going

[John C. Dvorak]

to do that with the big government short?

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

The outlook report is based on a view that oil prices will fall. I mean, I suppose that links to what futures are suggesting as well and that's been much remarked upon that is that too much optimism then baked into futures expectations around oil prices, future expectations around oil price prices, do you think? Because this is going to be something that lots of central banks pick up on, you know, rather than estimating oil prices themselves, they'll probably just go with the futures curve, won't they?

[John C. Dvorak]

That's what they all do when they make their inflation forecast. They base it off the futures curve, which is, you know, which is in backwardation. I think the issue really here is if we look at the oil futures curve, for example December contracts pre war, there were levels of around $55 per barrel at the moment to what, 80, 85. Right. So we are pricing it off a much, much higher inflationary base. That's, that's pretty clear. Is it fair to call oil a bit lower? I would say probably yes. But we're going to have high oil prices probably for the next three to four months according to the oil baron. This is his, his theory and I'm all in on. He says we've never had this, this wide of a divergence between spot and future prices which the term is backwardation. And he believes that the government is going to short oil massively and he's preparing for it with all kinds of hedges. And then we add this little ditty to the mix about the uae. UAE will leave OPEC after six decades as it plans a strategic realignment in

[Adam Curry]

the wake of the war.

[John C. Dvorak]

Bloomberg oil reporter Alaric Nightingale joins us

[Adam Curry]

on this really huge news, Alaric, and

[John C. Dvorak]

I wonder first what it says about

[Adam Curry]

out the relationship between the GCC countries amidst this war and also, you know,

[John C. Dvorak]

what it means for production. Can the UAE put more oil barrels on the market without the constraints of opec? Well, in answer to the last question, that's really at the heart of the issue. The UAE has long kind of pressed to be able to project, produce more oil without any kind of constraints from OPEC or you know, it's been been one of the countries that has been eager to add more barrels and by doing this once the war is over, this gives it an opportunity to do so in terms of the kind of unity of Gulf countries. I think that really In a way, this is an opportunity to, for the UAE to do something when it's not going to cause a market stir. We know when the market kind of, or when the situation in the Middle east hopefully returns to normal, that the UAE is going, all of the countries are going to need to try and ramp up and get supply to the market. That's, that's obvious. And right now they can't, There's a big shortfall that needs to be recovered. So they and others are going to be doing that and in the early stages. You know, this gives them an opportunity. Does he do that like everybody else? You know, I've been watching UAE with the stablecoin purchase from the Trump brothers with, you know, the Muhammad dude going, yeah, you know, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're doing different things. And now they leave OPEC, which, that'll blow up OPEC. These guys, they can do 5 million barrels a day. They have a pipeline into the, the Gulf of Oman. Is it Oman? Off of Oman. I think Saudi Arabia has a pipeline over to the Red Sea. So everyone's gonna, it's every man for himself. I think this, this is, this is the big news to me. This blowing up of OPEC and UAE was just the first one to go, you know, in bed with the presidents, with the President's sons at least. So everyone will start pumping.

[Adam Curry]

Well, they gotta get the straits open first.

[John C. Dvorak]

You don't need the straits. They go outside the straight. They have the pipeline which goes around the straits.

[Adam Curry]

Well, the Saudi pipeline can only account for like a third of their production.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely. But remember, we've got Venezuelan oil, got American oil. I mean, it may not be as bad. I mean, why else is the market pricing this backwardation in at $55 in December?

[Adam Curry]

Optimists.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm thinking cowshi bets.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, maybe. I mean it's possible.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, the oil baron thinks, he says the government is going to short oil just before the midterms. So I'm going to take his word for it. I think that's a pretty good bet. I won't bet on it.

[Adam Curry]

It's not help the midterms at all. It takes like a month before the prices stabilize at the pump.

[John C. Dvorak]

So he'll do it in October. It's, it's November.

[Adam Curry]

I think he's optimistic here.

[John C. Dvorak]

Who, the oil bearer? Yeah, he's in the business.

[Adam Curry]

Well, he, he's not going to be a, you know, a negative Nelly. He's in the business where, you know, he's got it. He's got to make his predictions.

[John C. Dvorak]

He's a super negative Nelly. He's been negative this whole time about this. He's like, I hate the president. Republican presidents are the worst for my business. This is no good. And then he's like, hold on a second now. And by the way, that's not positive for him. This is Today is positive for him. He's like, yeah, it's good. He doesn't want oil at 55. He's just calling it as he sees it. How can that be positive for him?

[Adam Curry]

I'm just saying.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, okay, okay.

[Adam Curry]

Let's see what else we got.

[John C. Dvorak]

He's a very successful guy. Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Okay. Take your word for it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, no, take his word. Not my word. Take his word for it.

[Adam Curry]

I don't know the guy.

[John C. Dvorak]

You should meet the guy.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, I should.

[John C. Dvorak]

He's a good guy.

[Adam Curry]

Let's take a quick break and listen to Dummies on the whatever podcast.

[John C. Dvorak]

Whatever pod. What is the whatever podcast or the whatever podcast?

[Adam Curry]

You've seen it. It's the guy, he sits around with a bunch of. With a bunch of only fans girls and ask dumb questions and they can't. They don't know any. They're so stupid.

[John C. Dvorak]

They're all only fans girls.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, onlyfans. What did I say?

[John C. Dvorak]

It doesn't matter. But this is not a podcast. This is a YouTube show.

[Adam Curry]

It's a YouTube show, okay? And it goes on for decades. I mean, it's like every day. And it's. It's not a three hour. Four. It's five hours. It. It just goes on and on and on.

[John C. Dvorak]

But. And you love it and you're watching it.

[Adam Curry]

No, I don't. I only watch the clips. I don't watch the whole thing. It's impossible. Okay, but here's the. But the clips are good. Here's the classic. One of the classic girls on here. Everybody's dream date.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

What is 34 plus 66? 34 plus 66?

[John C. Dvorak]

90.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

98. What year was the U.S. founded? I know the answer to that.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

1982.

[John C. Dvorak]

The United States was founded in 1982.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Who did the U.

[Adam Curry]

S gain its independence from?

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

France. We brought this up earlier, I think. How many letters in the Alphabet?

[John C. Dvorak]

24.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

What language do people in Idaho speak? French.

[John C. Dvorak]

You may find this funny. I find it deeply, deeply sad and disturbing. Deeply, deeply sad and disturbed.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

That's the difference between you and me.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes.

[Adam Curry]

I find it hilarious.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes. Yeah. You like the bird talking bird hands Girls on Tick Tock. This is Where Chanel Ryan, she needs to have you on again. What happened to that show? What happened to her? Are you still on that show?

[Adam Curry]

She's. No, she's back. She's back. She had a baby.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, okay. She had a baby and you had a bypass. So here it's.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, when my bypass is fully healed, I'll go back and do a show.

[John C. Dvorak]

Maybe it's baby in the bypass. It's like Sanford and Son. Now. That's a great YouTube show. It would do better on YouTube.

[Adam Curry]

The clips are on YouTube. Okay, but by the way, when the shooting took place at the. At the meet. At the meetup.

[John C. Dvorak]

At the meetup. At the Trump meetup. Yes, yes.

[Adam Curry]

Wolf Blitzer, I guess, was right there because he went to the bathroom or something.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, okay.

[Adam Curry]

Claims he was right next to the shooter.

[John C. Dvorak]

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait. The shooter didn't even make it into the ballroom.

[Adam Curry]

No, but I guess the bathroom where he had to go outside the ballroom

[John C. Dvorak]

to get to the bathroom. Oh, okay. All right.

[Adam Curry]

He had to crop or something. Who knows? But he has this story about it, and they. They play. He's on all these different shows talking about it because he's an eyewitness. But this is what. When they first caught him right afterwards, when he's shaking like a leaf and talking about how scared he is and the whole thing, I thought this was probably the. One of the best examples of a journalist from CNN at work in the field shooting Blitzer.

[John C. Dvorak]

I feel a Fine. I'm just scared. It was scary. I was a few feet away from the gunman as he was firing. It was loud. It was scary. The cops got on top of him, and then they got on top of me to protect me. And then they took me away into a secure room, the men's room. It was just a frightening experience. How are you able to do live

[Adam Curry]

TV after all of that?

[John C. Dvorak]

How was I what?

[Adam Curry]

Able to do live TV after all of that?

[John C. Dvorak]

A broadcast professional. And I just did it. I told the truth, what I saw. That was that. Okay, I have to give it to you. That was dynamite.

[Adam Curry]

Broadcast professional.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

I was scared.

[John C. Dvorak]

Into a secure room, the men's room. That was good. Oh, man. Poor Wolf. I empathize with him because, like us, he has to do that job, you know, I'm sure he didn't save any money, you know? What kind of money did Wolf Blitzer save from his CNN paycheck? You know, says, like us, we're stuck here. Stuck doing this show, playing clips of OnlyFans girls. I mean, you know, I empathize with Wolf. All right, the 60 days are almost up. Somehow Congress believes that the War Powers act is in play, even though the President never called for this. And the 60 days are up. And I saw Pete Hegseth this morning saying no, no, no, during the ceasefire we stopped counting. So we really have another.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, I didn't hear this.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, it was this morning. I didn't have time to clip it, but it was hilarious. And then you have another 30 days. But I still think they filed this under UN section 51. So I don't exactly know what Congress is doing. But here's an ABC Martha Raddatz report about the waste tonight. With an eye popping $25 billion tag for the Iran war. I never heard her say with an eye popping 150 billion for Ukraine. Never heard her say that.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

The Strait of Hormuz blocked and no end in sight. Secretary Pete Hegseth not backing down on Capitol Hill, instead pointing the finger at Congress.

[John C. Dvorak]

The biggest challenge, the biggest adversary we face at this point are the reckless, feckless and defeatist words.

[Adam Curry]

Feckless of Congressional Democrats and some Republicans.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

The secretary, combative, defensive and dismissive.

[John C. Dvorak]

The President has got himself and America stuck in the quagmire of another war in the Middle East. This is you, John. That's what, that's how you sound? That's your comment?

[Adam Curry]

Congressman, you should know better. Shame on you. Shame on you calling this a quagmire. Two months in claiming a tactical victory. It's been an astounding military success.

[John C. Dvorak]

But are we winning the war?

[Adam Curry]

Absolutely.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

But pressed about the justification for war.

[John C. Dvorak]

Their nuclear facilities have been obliterated underground. They're buried and watching 247

[Adam Curry]

this war. You just said 60 days ago because

[John C. Dvorak]

the nuclear weapon was an imminent threat.

[Adam Curry]

Now you're saying that it was completely

[John C. Dvorak]

obliterated, not given up their nuclear ambitions.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

The grilling on Capitol Hill comes tonight as gas prices hit a new high with the Strait of Hormuz closed. Drivers now paying $4.26 per gallon, up

[John C. Dvorak]

a dollar and 32 cents since the war began.

[Donald Trump]

Do you know how much it will

[Adam Curry]

cost Americans in terms of their increased

[John C. Dvorak]

cost in gas and food over the next year because of the Iran war. I would simply ask you what the

[Adam Curry]

cost is of an Iranian nuclear bomb overnight.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

President Trump posting Iran better get smart soon.

[Donald Trump]

Now they have to cry uncle. That's all they have to do. Just say we give up, cry uncle.

[John C. Dvorak]

I think he's right. I think we the time is on our side. It doesn't seem to be that much going on for him. Nothing matters for Congress for the midterms. A lot of it matters. And then we have the Atlantic reporting interesting things this morning.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

A new report in the Atlantic is raising questions about what the President is being told about the war in Iran by his closest advisers. According to the magazine, Vice President Vance has repeatedly questioned the Defense Department's depiction of the war in Iran and whether the Pentagon has understated what appears to be the drastic depletion of US Missile stockpiles. The Pentagon has claimed US Weapons stockpiles are robust, but the report claims Vance has expressed concerns about the availability of certain missile systems. The White House has not publicly responded to the claims. Meanwhile, Iran.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, actually, the President did respond to those claims in his typical backwards fashion.

[Donald Trump]

So they had 159 ships. Every ship is right now underwater. Typically. That's pretty good, wouldn't you think, Jared? I mean, it's going to be hard for them to make a naval comeback. Okay? Now they have an air force. Every one of their planes has been shot down or has been decimated. They have missiles. About 82% are gone. And they have drones. And most of them are gone. Most of the factories are mostly gone. And we have tremendous anti drone equipment. Now between lasers and that new, very special machine gun.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, hold on a second.

[Donald Trump]

That knocks them out of the air like flies. And we use bullets instead of million dollar missiles.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, okay, so we don't need missiles. We have lasers and that very special machine gun. Have you seen this machine gun that the President references?

[Adam Curry]

No, have you?

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, it's very special. I'm very excited to see it in action.

[Donald Trump]

Knock out a $30,000 drone. So I would say. Jared would tell me that, that Jared, with everything you just heard, typically we're in pretty good shape. And in addition, their economy is crashing.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay, so that's, that's the play. We don't need million dollar missiles. We shoot the drones with bullets and lasers and our special machine gun. Okay. Huh?

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, yeah, These, these drones are cheap.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, well, that's why we're not using missiles. But according to the Atlantic, Vice President Vance is very worried that we don't have any more missiles. So breaking news. Nobody knows nothing. But then we have the whole question of the nuclear war capability of Iran. And so there's two sides. There's the CIA side, which I don't hear the President talking about CIA ever. Do you ever hear him talking about CIA?

[Adam Curry]

He's done a deal with him.

[John C. Dvorak]

What kind of deal?

[Adam Curry]

They're not going to mess with him and he's going to stop badmouthing him.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, so the way I see it is the CIA is badmouthing him. They are messing with him, but they're doing it through CIA cutouts, mainly kiriakou, your guy kiriakou, and tucker, who comes from a CIA family. So I don't know if you saw kiriakou on tucker. It came out a couple days ago.

[Adam Curry]

It was one of the worst of the Kiriakou certainly was.

[John C. Dvorak]

But I did pull two clips from it. Two or three weeks after this war began, the head of the national counterterrorism

[Adam Curry]

center, Joe kent, resigned. In his resignation letter, he said.

[John C. Dvorak]

I believe. He didn't say this in his letter.

[Adam Curry]

He said it in an interview with me shortly after.

[John C. Dvorak]

The next day he said, I believe the.

[Adam Curry]

The butler assassination attempt, the other assassination attempt in florida, a couple of breaches

[John C. Dvorak]

of Donald trump's personal security, secret service detail and Charlie Kirk's murder may all

[Adam Curry]

have played a role in convincing the

[John C. Dvorak]

president to go to war with Iran. What do you think that means? I would not be at all surprised. You know what? Let me. Let me preface this by saying I don't have any inside information. I don't either, but I would not be surprised. I don't have any inside.

[Adam Curry]

I don't know nothing, but I would

[John C. Dvorak]

not be at all surprised. You know what? Let me preface this by saying I don't have any inside information. I don't either, but I would not be surprised if a person or multiple people got into the president's ear and said, this isn't a coincidence that there were these three events. There were these three events because the iranians are behind it. They've got these cells, they're around the United States. We can't identify them, we can't catch them, but they're gunning for you. And Charlie Kirk was a practice hit or Charlie Kirk was a message or whatever. And I wouldn't be surprised if the president would believe something like that if people he trusts are telling him there's a problem and the problem originates in Iran, Whether it's true or not that he would respond to that. I. A lot of people did tell him that.

[Adam Curry]

That's a fact. I can confirm that.

[John C. Dvorak]

People told him iran is out to kill you.

[Adam Curry]

A lot of people told him that. Who does he get this from?

[John C. Dvorak]

This is propaganda from these two yahoos. That's obvious. It's obvious. Well, Charlie Kirk was a warning from Iran. Really? Really.

[Adam Curry]

A lot of people have been telling him that It's a fact.

[John C. Dvorak]

I know.

[Adam Curry]

Stupid. He believed him.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's a fact originates in Iran. Whether it's true or not, that he would respond to that. I. A lot of people did tell him that.

[Adam Curry]

That's a fact. I should confirm it.

[John C. Dvorak]

People told him. I can confirm that. Confirm it. I can confirm it. Who, Tucker? Kill you?

[Adam Curry]

The Butler assassination attempt.

[John C. Dvorak]

The Iran was behind it. People were saying that. Fact.

[Adam Curry]

Fact.

[John C. Dvorak]

Fact.

[Adam Curry]

Just using the word fact.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm going to use that all the time. I'm going to say that to Tina. I did not break that cup. Fact.

[Adam Curry]

Fact.

[John C. Dvorak]

I took out the trash. Fact. This works really well in all relationships, but really what they're getting at is the obvious. I. I fully understand how this was in Israel's interest and the Israelis have long wanted us to attack Iran and to overthrow the. The regime in Tehran. Iran. I get that it's in their interests, but I've never believed. I don't think any CIA officer, past or present, believes or has believed that the Iranians were anywhere near a nuclear weapon. They don't have a delivery system that could deliver a nuclear weapon to the United States. And you know when you've got two national intelligence estimates. A national intelligence estimate is a sense of the entire intelligence community. All 18 organizations within the U.S. intelligence community, the same guys who brought you Russiagate, unanimously concluding that there is no Iranian nuclear weapons program twice as well as the late.

[Adam Curry]

There's no program.

[John C. Dvorak]

No program. No, no. Come on now. I'm not a big. I'm not a big believer.

[Adam Curry]

That's pretty lame.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm not a big believer.

[Adam Curry]

That's the worst interview I've ever seen him do.

[John C. Dvorak]

But these are two out of work CIA guys yapping, just yapping. And CIA is connected at the hip with MI6 who don't want anything to change in Iran. They love that. Keep it the way it is. Keep oil prices a little unstable. We love this. This is the way it should be. We've got everything. We got the shipping, we got the insurance all. We don't want anyone to take out Iran or do anything. And if anything, this president listens to the military. Now, I'm not saying the military knows what they're doing, but I'll bet they have better intelligence than the CIA about what's happening in Iran. I bet they've war gamed this whole thing out for decades. For decades. And of course they say something completely different from the fact that. That Tucker and Kiriakou have Iran. And this is with their cheerleader, lady

[Adam Curry]

G. Do you believe that 2013 is a year of reckoning.

[John C. Dvorak]

When it comes to Iran, Senator, every year I seem to have a year of reckoning. So again, I'm paid to take be a sentinel for this country. So I consider 2013 a year of reckoning. Okay? Now, when it comes to Iran, you

[Adam Curry]

said that the sanctions, you believe.

[John C. Dvorak]

Believe we're not working in their ultimate goal of deterring them from acquiring a new capability.

[Adam Curry]

Is that correct? That's correct, sir.

[John C. Dvorak]

Their nuclear industry continues now.

[Adam Curry]

What is the likelihood that they would work in the future, in your view?

[John C. Dvorak]

I believe this regime knowing it can't win the affections of its own people, I think they are very concerned that the omic sanctions could turn the people against them, in which case I think they'd lost benefit. They could be willing to give up even the nuclear effort to stay in power.

[Adam Curry]

You think that's the most likely scenario

[John C. Dvorak]

if we continue sanctions? I think we have to continue sanctions but have other options ready.

[Adam Curry]

Do you believe that the Israelis would

[John C. Dvorak]

attack Iran if they believed they had reached a critical point in terms of nuclear capability? The Israelis have said so, Senator. I take the measurement. Their word. If they did attack Iran, would they need our help militarily? They could conduct a strike without our help. So that was 2013. The Armed Services Committee from the Senate with Lady G. This is from 2021. Now, this is General McKenzie. I'll start with what is my most challenging driver of instability. The actions of Iran. For more than 40 years, the Iranian regime has funded and aggressively supported terrorism and terrorist organizations and defied international norms by conducting malign activities which destabilize not only the region, but global security and commerce as well. Iran is a major source of instability in Iraq and uses Iraq as a proxy battleground against the United States. Iran's actions also contribute to the instability seen in Syria and Yemen, two regional conflicts that have resulted in millions of refugees, famine and outbreaks of diseases. So what are we doing to mitigate this instability? I believe our presence in the region, mostly defensive in nature, has brought us to a period of contested deterrence with Iran. That presence sends a clear and unambiguous signal of our capabilities and will. The capabilities and will to defend partners in US national interests. A signal which has been clearly received by the Iranian regime. Yeah, so there's your two sides. Military industrial complex versus CIA. CIA connected to all the financial stuff with MI6, eh? There's nothing. Keep it going. And military, we want to kill somebody. And then apparently Trump in the middle, like, oh, Iran is trying to attack you, Mr. President. This is, this is a load of bullcrap.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah. Well, so kind of overlook some of the elements of the cult like behavior of the Iranian regime, which is kind of an Armageddon oriented doomsday cult.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh yeah, the YouTube pastors are all over that.

[Adam Curry]

Well, there, there's, there's a lot of evidence for it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

And the idea is, is to develop a nuke, blow up Jerusalem and, and get until the twelf cubs back and,

[John C. Dvorak]

and, and he'll be on a white horse too.

[Adam Curry]

And he's like a thousand years old.

[John C. Dvorak]

He's a cool dude and we need

[Adam Curry]

to come back and save the day.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

With Jesus by his side. By side.

[John C. Dvorak]

That's right. I know, I know. Jesus going to be right there. Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Yep. Because he was the 12, the imam. So these guys are nuts.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes, yes.

[Adam Curry]

And so they really should probably better off just eliminating them.

[John C. Dvorak]

And I think, I think that's happening, but we'll see.

[Adam Curry]

No, they're trying. I think they've run out of targets.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, well, we'll see. Right now it seems like we have. What was this other clip that I had? Oh yeah, this was from GB News. The war on Iran has not just brutally exposed Britain's military and frankly leadership weakness. Largely unreported is the war's exposure of London's financial system to meltdown and with it algorithm global influence. Lloyds of London was the center of global maritime insurance until Trump began his strikes. Reliant on its access to world class intelligence, the world's insurance markets moved in hock to Lloyds. However, reports indicate the insurers were caught off guard by this war. They had no knowledge prior. And in response, policies for ships transporting oil and other goods in and out of the Gulf were either cancelled or soared by up to £100,000. Global Oil Transport risked collapse not because they were necessarily in danger, but because the insurance rates became prohibitively expensive. Donald Trump has stepped in, ordering the U.S. development Finance Corporation to cheaply ensure all maritime trade cutting Lloyds out. This is the US's chance to kill London's insurance market and with it a lot of the UK's international influence. Think of it. Lloyd of London was so influential it had the ability to shut down the global transport of oil. That's an asset Britain wouldn't want to lose. But Trump's public fallout with Keir Starmer suggests he'll be unlikely to take pity on us once he has the world insuring it ships cheaply via the us. Is this the final nail in the coffin for British global influence? Or will the US lose in Iran and Keir Starmer be proved right to have acted so cautiously? Now, the DFC reinsurance.

[Adam Curry]

That's an excellent clip, by the way.

[John C. Dvorak]

Thank you.

[Adam Curry]

And I would put my money on Trump before I would on Keir Starmer.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes, and. And our gay General Patton, who set up the DFC maritime reinsurance program, Scott Besant. Which is now up to $40 billion. I can't find any evidence anyone's using it yet, but it's. They're open for business, so that would be phenomenal. And that would be the win. That would be a big change in things. Meanwhile, everybody's blaming everything on Iran. You know what? Donations for the no Agenda show are down. You know why? Iran. Iran. All right. Hey, everyone. Thanks for joining today. We had a strong quarter for our community, our business, and our progress towards AI. More than 3.5 billion people use at least one of our apps every day.

[Adam Curry]

We saw a small decrease in total

[John C. Dvorak]

family dailies due to Internet outages. Yeah, this is Zuckerberg on the, on the earnings call. Yeah, listen, people, listen. Use at least one of our apps every day.

[Adam Curry]

We saw a small decrease in total

[John C. Dvorak]

family dailies due to Internet outages in Iran and blocks in Russia, but otherwise trends across our apps were strong. Daily and monthly actives on Instagram and

[Adam Curry]

Facebook continue to grow with video driving

[John C. Dvorak]

all time high engagement across both apps. It's Iran, baby. Maybe we're down just a little bit because of Iran. And then his cfo, Susan Lee. I've never even heard this woman, but I happen to be listening to the earnings call. I think she's a bot. I think she's actual AI and that Zuckerberg has made an AI cfo. Listen to this woman speak.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Thanks, Mark, and good afternoon, everyone. Let's begin with our right.

[Adam Curry]

Right away.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's like she's not real. This can't. This can't be true.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Thanks, Mark, and good afternoon, everyone. Let's begin with our segment results. All comparisons are on a year over year basis unless otherwise noted. We estimate 3.56 billion people used at least one of our family of apps on a daily basis in March, which declined slightly from December due to Internet disruptions in Iran and the restriction on access to WhatsApp in Russia. Absent these impacts, growth in family daily active people would have been positive.

[John C. Dvorak]

Quarter over quarter. Is she AI or what? You muted yourself. So.

[Adam Curry]

Sorry. That was me. Yeah, I muted myself because the screen went dead, went black and I saw and I clicked it to come back, I say mute. Muted.

[John C. Dvorak]

You mean your screensaver kicked in with your seti, with your set home Was. Or did pointcast kick in? Do you remember pointcast?

[Adam Curry]

Boy, I'm telling you, that's a callback nobody gets.

[John C. Dvorak]

Let me just tell everybody.

[Adam Curry]

Nobody gets that one.

[John C. Dvorak]

Let me see. Hands up, troll room. If you remember pointcast, pointcast was really the precursor to everything. News feeds to everything. Yeah, I see no one raising their hand. Okay, we will have to tell you. So when was this, John? This must have been 98 maybe.

[Adam Curry]

I think it was even before then. It came out real early. It was chewing up all the resources.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, let me tell people what it is, and then you can talk about how horrible it was, because I had a.

[Adam Curry]

Well, you know, it was actually pretty cool.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, it was fantastic. So, pointcast, this is in the days when we had monitors where you had to have a screensaver because otherwise your Eudora. Your Eudora email. I'm doing the callbacks now, baby. Your Eudora email I'm doing. It would burn into your screen. So we had, famously, we had flying toasters and we had fish as screensavers. Am I just on a roll here or what?

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, keep it up.

[John C. Dvorak]

And so these guys came out with this free screensaver called pointcast. And you set up the screensaver. So you needed a screensaver. Everybody had to have a screensaver. Otherwise your monitor was ruined.

[Adam Curry]

You were a schmuck.

[John C. Dvorak]

You were a douchebag. And you could select categories of news with little checkboxes. And so then when your screensaver kicked in, it was giving you headlines and stock prices. And this is way before any, like, Yahoo Finance or any of this stuff. And people were mesmerized by it. Everyone's like, holy crap. The problem was our companies at the time, we had In New York, 110 people in the office on a T1 line. T1 is one megabit. Per second.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, but it was solid.

[John C. Dvorak]

It was a solid one megabit per second, but nothing compared to what. I mean. One megabit per second is a fraction of what your cable modem does at home currently. And the minute the screensavers kicked in, you couldn't get to any website. Email was failing because the pipe was completely filled with people's point casts. So then we had to go around saying, please turn on. Off your point cast, turn back on the. The toasters.

[Adam Curry]

But, man, that was resource hungry.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, it was. I think it crunched your computer, too. But it was so cool. And that was the precursor to everything. I think it was the precursor.

[Adam Curry]

And then the joke of it was the guys who did it. I don't know, I can't almost remember their names. They were offered, you know, in those days it was big money. A couple hundred million dollars for the product.

[John C. Dvorak]

Really?

[Adam Curry]

Yeah. They were offered big dough for the product. Before all the scandals came out about us being resource hungry and being a mess, they were saying, no, we'll give you this. I forgot who it was that made the deal, but it was this huge offer and it was like, nah, we're gonna sit down.

[John C. Dvorak]

We're on this. We're hold out.

[Adam Curry]

We're gonna hold out for the big bucks.

[John C. Dvorak]

Hold on. Book of Knowledge who tried to buy pointcast and for how much money? Let's see if the Book of Knowledge can tell us.

[Adam Curry]

Might be. It might have.

[John C. Dvorak]

It might. It might have some information that's old for the Book of Knowledge. We'll see. All right. According to the Book of Knowledge, News Corporation, led by Rupert Murdoch attempted to purchase PointCast for $450 million in January 1997. But the offer was withdrawn in March after PointCast rejected it seeking more money. Thus it has been written.

[Adam Curry]

Wow.

[John C. Dvorak]

Can you imagine how sad those guys are now?

[Adam Curry]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

Because that thing fell apart after that. Oh, man, that was dynamite.

[Adam Curry]

Classic.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

Wow.

[Adam Curry]

I didn't know it's as recent as 97. I thought it was a little earlier, but okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, kind of makes sense. Kind of makes sense. Well, let's stay on the.

[Adam Curry]

By the way, I think there was another product that we had. In fact, they know the guy pretty well who refused some offers. One of these early Social Network. I wish I could remember which one it was. You might, since you're on a roll. You might remember was during the Live Journal era, somebody came up with something that was getting hot, really hot. And it was going to be. Does the same kind of thing.

[John C. Dvorak]

You ready? You ready? Movable Type.

[Adam Curry]

No.

[John C. Dvorak]

Was it Movable Type?

[Adam Curry]

I'm sure Movable Type could have been in a similar story. No, it was something else. It was. Damn it. I wish I could just recall. I'm gonna have to go through my own material and try to figure it out.

[John C. Dvorak]

Livejournal. I never really got into Live Journal. I didn't like that. Nor Movable Type. But they were all basically blogs, weren't they?

[Adam Curry]

Movable Type was a. Movable Type was. It was a foundation. It wasn't really a blog.

[John C. Dvorak]

Hmm. Hmm. Tesla coil says yes. That's where my teenage emo diaries live. Oh, yeah. I've been holding on to diaries.com, hoping those days return. Every once in a while, I get an email. Will you sell this? I say yes, One bitcoin and you never hear from them again. That's too bad.

[Adam Curry]

What? You own diaries.com?

[John C. Dvorak]

i do. I do.

[Adam Curry]

No one's worth a million dollars.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, go get a million dollars. I'll give you. I'll give you a hundred grand. Boom. No, wait. I'll give you 200 grand. Boom.

[Adam Curry]

20% I could do. I'd do it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, well, go do it.

[Adam Curry]

All right, I'll. I'll agent it. I can. I can sell it.

[John C. Dvorak]

You cannot sell anything.

[Adam Curry]

I can sell it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Another. Another classic no agenda exit strategy.

[Adam Curry]

Well, it's not much of an exit strategy. It's just a quick hit.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, I'll have 800,000. I'm exiting. I'm out. I'm buying a bitcoin and I'm out. I'm sorry. Mimi doesn't like it when I make these jokes.

[Adam Curry]

No, she doesn't. Should we get a little.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm not a douche. It's not nice.

[Adam Curry]

Always threatening to quit the show. Constantly.

[John C. Dvorak]

No. Yes, I am, actually, yes. Well, why not? That? It's fun. It gets everybody on edge. Little Mandelson Epstein update. Because that stuff continues.

[Adam Curry]

Good. Then while we're at it, we can play the Jeffrey Epstein ranch story.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, why don't we start with that Jeffrey Epstein ranch story?

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro ranch stretched for miles. Its centerpiece the enormous mansion he built with its pool and library stables nearby. None of it searched by federal investigators after Epstein's 2019 arrested, to the shock of Hector Balderas, at the time New Mexico's attorney general. Do you think the feds should have searched the ranch back in 19?

[Adam Curry]

Absolutely.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

By 2019, Balderas had opened a state investigation into the ranch, but says he was asked to stand down by the feds so they could build their case.

[John C. Dvorak]

We assumed with their reputation for being aggressive that they were going to be aggressive and then share that evidence with us. It was a very simple one, two punch.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

And that's happened before in other cases.

[Adam Curry]

Absolutely.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

But it didn't happen here.

[John C. Dvorak]

It didn't happen here.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Now New Mexico is trying to make up for lost time opening a new state investigation. I think what bothers me the most, knowing the extent of what happened, why nothing was done.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, well, what is. What was the. What did they expect to find? Or an unfinished ranch building in the middle of nowhere New Mexico ranch, whatever it was called.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, the story is that. That there were Two teenage girls buried near the ranch. That's the story.

[Adam Curry]

And dig him up.

[John C. Dvorak]

I actually met the guy who bought the ranch.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, he's. I don't. I don't. He was running for comptroller of Texas. Doug Effines, I think his name is. Interesting guy. One of those petite, male kind of dudes. Very male, very successful. See if Doug Effines. What is Effines? I think it's Effines. Let me just see what his name is. Doug Effines. Let me see. No, that's not the right name. Huffines. Maybe it's Huffines. Doug Huffines.

[Adam Curry]

That's the Book of Knowledge.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. Well, if I can't, it's one for one. If I can't. Okay, let's see. All right, Book of Knowledge. What's the name of the guy who was running for Texas comptroller who bought Epstein's Zorro ranch? Now, if the Book of Knowledge can do this, then I'm impressed. According to the Book of Knowledge, the Texas comptroller candidate who bought Epstein's Zorro ranch is Don Huffanez, a former Texas state senator. His family purchased the New Mexico ranch through a public auction in 2023, with proceeds reportedly aiding Epstein's victims. There you go. It has been written. Yeah, so. And he's already said, oh, you can come. You want to do some research, come on over here. Do whatever you want. He bought it for a song. I'm sure the guy's not dumb, but he said, yeah. Anyone come in here and check it out. Do whatever you want. And I don't know if anyone's. Even if the DOJ is even interested,

[Adam Curry]

so apparently, they're not. Part two of the clip.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

New Mexico lawmakers this spring also established a bipartisan commission to investigate Zorro after the release of the Justice Department's Epstein file. At this point, we don't have the full story, and what we understand is that most of that information was provided to the federal government and has not been provided back. The DOJ declined to comment on those specific materials, but says they welcome New Mexico undertaking additional investigations of Zorro. And if those uncover potential federal crimes, they stand ready to work closely together to prosecute. Outside the ranch now, a memorial with sign signs, pictures, and crosses. This is the main driveway leading up to the ranch, but this is as far as we're able to go. You can see the no trespassing signs that have been put up around the property. The ranch was purchased in 2023 by a Texas real estate developer who wants to turn it into a Christian retreat, renaming the road here San Rafael, after the patron saint of healing. I don't think that you could turn this space around with the horror that has happened here. The family of Virginia Roberts Duffrey, who died in by suicide last year. She's one of at least 10 girls or young women who say they were groomed or assaulted by Epstein at Zorro.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, there it is. There's Doug. He seems like a nice enough guy. Doesn't seem creepy. Petite, maybe, but not creepy. Was it Tumblr? You were thinking of

[Adam Curry]

Tumblr? No, no, but I'm sure there's a story behind that too.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, yeah, Tumblr was bought for, for like a billion dollars and then resold for a couple million. There's the story on that.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, that's just the opposite story.

[John C. Dvorak]

So let's, let's get back into this because Keir Starmer, the guy you would not bet on, is not doing too well with this Mandelson kerfuffle. A Mandelson known as the Prince of Darkness in UK elite circles. Pretty much indeed.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

And Peter Mandelson was once entrusted to strengthen relations with the UK's most powerful ally. Now his links to another once powerful man, the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, are sending shockwaves through the British establishment. UK lawmakers want to know how much the man who appointed Mandelson as the UK ambassador to the US knew about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

[John C. Dvorak]

Mandelson betrayed our country. Country, our parliament, and my party, Mr. Speaker. He lied repeatedly to my team when asked about his relationship with Epstein before and during his tenure as ambassador. I regret appointing him. If I knew then what I know now, he would never have been anywhere near government.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

A forceful condemnation. But critics say Starmer was was not blind to the risks. After being questioned repeatedly by the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament, Keir Starmer.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oops. Linux.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Let's see Mandelson's vetting process for the job of the ambassador to the us. He did know that Mandelson and Epstein had kept in touch even after Epstein's conviction. And that, for many, raises serious questions about the the UK Prime Minister's judgment. Under pressure from both the Opposition and his own Labour MPs, Keir Starmer has agreed to release documents detailing how Mandelson was vetted for the Washington job. But it has done little to quell the anger of some lawmakers who say Mandelson, who was twice fired from previous governments over unrelated scandals, should never have been appointed to a top diplomatic role. He is now under criminal investigation for allegedly passing market sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a business secretary in the wake of the global financial crash. But as scrutiny of him intensifies, it is Keir Starmer and his decision making that are firmly under spotlight.

[John C. Dvorak]

So this is being compared to the Profumo scandal.

[Adam Curry]

Oh please.

[John C. Dvorak]

Do you remember the Profumo scandal?

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, I do remember it.

[John C. Dvorak]

What is your recollection of the Profumo scandal?

[Adam Curry]

It was a real classic sex scandal.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Curry]

And it was like, you know, real, you know, it wasn't. It didn't have anything to do with just some guy's association with a creep.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, I don't remember. I don't remember.

[Adam Curry]

Well, I mean, ask the Book of Knowledge for a briefing.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay, Book of Knowledge. Give me a briefing on the Profumo scandal and then I have a clip about the Profumo scandal from the guys who apparently wrote the book about it. Okay, let's see. According to the Book of Knowledge, the Profumo Affair was a 1963 British political scandal involving War Secretary John Profumo's affair with 19 year old model Christine Keeler. The scandal's explosive nature stemmed from Keeler's simultaneous relationship with Soviet naval attache Yevgeny Ivanov, raising national security fears. Oh, I remember now. That happened at Cliveden. Now I remember. Yeah, yeah. Well she was like a Mata Hari spy. That's what was going on.

[Adam Curry]

And a hottie, I think.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, she was a hottie. In 1963 the publication which did more than any other to cover the perfume

[Adam Curry]

of affair was a young magazine called Private Eye.

[John C. Dvorak]

And the Eye has been following the

[Adam Curry]

Epstein case for many years as well.

[John C. Dvorak]

And its editor, Ian Hislop is with me now in the studio.

[Adam Curry]

Ian, great to have you here.

[John C. Dvorak]

And I've got a copy of copy of your new Private Eye. We'll read some of the jokes out in a moment. But first of all, sort of sense of history. Do you think this really does. Is it the same level as the Profumio scandal? Well, I think there are two things. One is Profumio was a more junior minister than Peter Manelson in the heart of New Labor. And if it was the end of that Tory establishment regime, this has got to be really embarrassing for the whole new labour process project. I mean Mandelson is, is going to be arrested, isn't he? It's fairly clear that the full criminal investigation is going to be very serious for him. Well, all we know, I suppose this

[Adam Curry]

evening is that the police are carrying out an investigation.

[John C. Dvorak]

They've confirmed that.

[Donald Trump]

Yes.

[John C. Dvorak]

But it is jaw dropping. And I think because this story Profumo broke and exploded. This one's been going for a very long time. And everyone involved pretends they had act absolutely no idea. Keir Starmer, all his advisors, all these businessmen, everyone's saying, we had no idea that Epstein was in some way a paedophile. Whereas in fact, 2008 is the date of the case. And we ran a cover about this in 2011.

[Adam Curry]

I was going to ask you, when

[John C. Dvorak]

was a sort of cloud the size of a man's hand suddenly appearing and you thought, this Epstein guy is a big story? I mean, it was over the then Duchess of York. Now not Duchess anymore, Fergie. And Fergie. And it was a story that she'd accepted £15,000 from Jeffrey Epstein. This he was then convicted pedophile and financier who everyone was pretending was absolutely fine. And we ran a cover with Sarah and her two daughters and a voice saying, you know, I'll give you £15,000. And she was saying, is that for Beatrice or both of them? Now, at the time, this was considered harsh and offensive, but it was trying to make the point that everyone was pretending they didn't know. Yeah, exactly. Just like everyone in America pretended they didn't know. Wasn't. Was it McCain's wife? Who was it that said everyone knew about Epstein? Was that McCain's wife?

[Adam Curry]

No. Whose wife? It was somebody that eludes me. I can't think of it, but somebody. Yeah. A lot of people say stuff. Yeah. Everyone knew this.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

You didn't. What?

[John C. Dvorak]

What? You weren't in the know. I wonder who that was. Yeah. Sydney McCain. It was a lot of. Between a lot of young people, is that there is an untouchable ring of governmental and economic elites in this country that not only benefit, like she mentioned, but actively participate in sex trafficking. Jeffrey Epstein was an example.

[Adam Curry]

Robert Kraft was arrested not far from

[John C. Dvorak]

here on trafficking charges. Are these power players a priority for us right now?

[Adam Curry]

Can we even touch them? Or is this a pipe dream that

[John C. Dvorak]

we need to address in the future somehow?

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

No, it's like everything, you know, we. It hides in plain sight. Epstein was hiding in plain sight. We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doing, but we had no one. That was no legal aspect that would go after him. They were afraid of him. For whatever reason, they were afraid of him. All of a sudden someone said, bs, we're not afraid of you anymore. And what you're doing, it's not only wrong, it's illegal. It's, you know, all those things. It's like a house of cards. Now it's going to start tumbling, believe me. And these guys, if they don't leave the country, number one, they're going to get caught. And they're going. And not only will they get caught, but they're going to be made examples of. And that's exactly what we should be doing with these guys. Especially in my opinion, if, you know, I know there's questions, but EPC is a chicken chip for doing what he did. He should have faced the music, that one. He should have.

[John C. Dvorak]

Sorry. So everybody knew. Everybody knew. Yeah, everybody knew. Just like Jimmy Savile, that they, they really buried that one, didn't they?

[Adam Curry]

That's the best.

[John C. Dvorak]

The Jimmy Savile stuff. Jim will fix you. Yeah, it's the best. Saturday is a big election day in Texas. Sadly, I cannot stand for mayor because I don't live in Fredericksburg, it turns out. So I guess I shut down no Agenda social for no reason. Remember that? He wants to protect his political career. That's why he's shutting down no Agenda Social.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, no Agenda Social. Worst.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, hold on, I was gonna say something here and you just like ramrod me.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, wait for you. So I'm getting there. Election day is Saturday and we have a Baron running for mayor of Hays County.

[Adam Curry]

Baron from no Agenda?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes, Baron Alex Zavala, also known as the Nicudad. And he wrote a very nice note which I won't read the whole thing, but it's in the show notes if you want to see it. And he says I'm no Agenda. I've been very vocal about keeping political parties out of non partisans positions. I'm the only candidate who is not endorsed by a political party. The Dems have their candidate and the Moms for Liberty have theirs. I'm pretty sure I'm going to win, but let's go with God willing. I'm sure I am not the first no Agenda party candidate, but here we go. So if you're in Hays county, which is pretty big, vote for Baron Alex Zavala. We need a guy like that in politics. Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

An honest man.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes. Oh, he's a very honest man. And he's the NICU dad from the NICU Dads podcast. So then he goes to the no Agenda meetups and you know, we can go to city hall and. No, I. Yeah, that's a good idea. Mvp. I wish I lived in Hays county. Cuz. Yes, then I could be sheriff. That would be Cool. He could appoint me sheriff, but no, no such luck. All right, back to you, Bob.

[Adam Curry]

I got two screwball clips.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh.

[Adam Curry]

First of all, Netanyahu has prostate cancer.

[John C. Dvorak]

I thought he was already healed.

[Adam Curry]

My understanding, he still has it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today he has received treatment for prostate cancer

[Adam Curry]

and is now healthy.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's the first time he's publicly acknowledged the diagnosis. The 76 year old says he had prostate surgery almost two years ago and that a more recent tumor was successfully treated with radiation therapy. He asked that a public announcement be delayed due to the war with Iran.

[Adam Curry]

The war's got to do with that?

[John C. Dvorak]

Nothing. Nothing at all.

[Adam Curry]

All right. Okay. So I've got this screwball. This is a very interesting. You gotta give it to, you know, Massie, Thomas Massie, the renegade congressman.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes.

[Adam Curry]

He's got this skiff story that I thought was fascinating. And I took one of my colleagues, Victoria Spartz, in a skiff. I said, there's a document nobody's looking at, we need to go read. And so we go in the skiff. It was a letter from Senator Ron Wyden. And I don't know how he has. The senators, particularly those on the Intelligence Committee, they get access to things. When a bill says that they have to notify Congress of something, what they really mean is they have to notify the Intelligence Committee. And then the Intelligence Committee just doesn't say anything or they don't even bother

[John C. Dvorak]

to look at it.

[Adam Curry]

And so Ron Wyden in the Senate, he's a Democrat, he's on the Intelligence Committee over there. He discovered an innovative loophole they're using. Using to spy on Americans in a way I can't even tell you here, because the FBI's interpretation of the law is top secret. Literally.

[John C. Dvorak]

There's a red and white cover on

[Adam Curry]

top of Ron Wyden's letter that says top secret. And Victoria Spartz and I went in there and we read it. It's very troubling. It's an interpretation, a secret interpretation of the FISA law. And it can't even tell you how they're interpreting. Now, when you have secret laws, that's when you know your country has gone too far. Yeah. How do you know you're not breaking secret laws? How do you know what your government's doing? The nature of the two documents I saw were secret interpretations of the law. And you should. You should be allowed to know how the executive branch is interpreting the law.

[John C. Dvorak]

Otherwise, how could, for instance, the Supreme

[Adam Curry]

Court rule or how could you vote for a representative that's going to vote for you.

[John C. Dvorak]

If you don't.

[Adam Curry]

If you don't know what they're voting on and they don't know what they're voting on.

[John C. Dvorak]

So when do we find out what this is? I mean, this is all part of the ongoing Section 702 reinstatement that I think is still ongoing.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, I think so.

[John C. Dvorak]

So I'd like to know what that is.

[Adam Curry]

Secret law, secret interpretation. What is this?

[John C. Dvorak]

That's fisa. That's the whole thing. You've got.

[Adam Curry]

The Pfizer needs to be dumped.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes. And that's why it's stuck in the. In the House, I think. Is it in the House or in the Senate? It's probably the House. Yeah, they sun setting. It's going to be gone soon and not soon enough. Remember we had those clips like, oh well, it's only a couple thousand now, but they just change the way they were counting as really millions.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, right.

[John C. Dvorak]

And I think the way they do it is they just go to Google and Amazon and maybe Apple and just say, give us some detail, give us some details. I mean, we seem to give our information up willingly, so just buy it on the open market. But I don't know what the law interpretation is. I'd like to know that. So Massey just says that and then nothing happens?

[Adam Curry]

No, that's what happens. He says that nothing happens. Of course.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, okay. Well, groovy.

[Adam Curry]

Well, it's just the way it is. You're Republican. Nothing gets done.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. Okay,

[Adam Curry]

so I have this one little last little clip here. I'll play. This is the. There's this woman named Sophie Lewis who is a professor at one of the universities. And I just thought this was an interesting clip because it brings out the anti family, anti everything. You know, let the government raise your kids. This, this whole undercurrent that's going on, that is the Democrat Party Communists.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes.

[Adam Curry]

And I thought this was worthwhile to listen to. This is the abolished family clip.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Did you know that all of the attacks on parental rights going on in the country today are directly related to the far left's desire to abolish the nuclear family? I'm Carlin Borisenko. I'm an analyst and undercover journalist following the far left in America. And let me show you inside some secretly recorded presentations where they tell you what they really think of parental rights. Yes, it's true what the far right says. Feminism wants to abolish the family. To hell with family value and all capitalist value for that matter. And fuck Parents rights. My hunch is that just beyond the horizon beckoning to those of us who want to hear it, there is a world of relationship no longer strangled by scarcity and no longer held hostage by economics. Thank you. That was Abolish the Family Queer Communist, Sophie Lewis. Sophie has written two books on abolishing the nuclear family. Lectures all over the country, works at the University of Pennsylvania, pushing these ideas through their gender center. We cover Sophie and her friends quite a bit.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay.

[Adam Curry]

I just thought I'd throw that in as an uplifting little clip.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, I feel very uplifted and positive now. And is she a Democrat or she. What? What is it?

[Adam Curry]

Oh, she's a Republican. She's obviously a Democrat.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, I mean. I mean, is she. She's not a politician. She just writes crazy books.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, yeah, but she. The people love this stuff. There's this anti capitalist vein in the current Democrat Party. Current is really disgusting.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Current.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's been that way forever.

[Adam Curry]

I'm not so sure it was that way in the 50s.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay, well, in my. Forever. Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Well, they used to be, you know, the, you know, the pro labor party, which I guess is somewhat socialist if you think about it, but union good. Union jobs.

[John C. Dvorak]

All right, what's this Fake Brando? I've been looking at that for the past two hours.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, the fake brand. This is a. A piece of AI that showed up on the net. The problem is this was Brando supposedly being interviewed after the Godfather movies when he was older. But the Brando that's in this AI is a Brando from the 50s. And this whole thing is nonsense. And it floated around. I thought it was a classic example of.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

Of.

[Adam Curry]

Of, you know, AI being used to try to just put that anti Jewish message out there. Because, because Brando, when he didn't accept the Academy Award, I think it was

[John C. Dvorak]

1973, anti semite right away.

[Adam Curry]

It wasn't because anything. He was about the Indians. That's why he had this woman.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, I remember he had that Indian woman come out.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, it was about. About a Native American complaint. It had nothing to do with the Jews in Hollywood, but somebody created this bull crap and put it in on Twitter and people were eating it up. Mr. Brando, why did you refuse the

[John C. Dvorak]

Academy Award last year?

[Adam Curry]

I refused it because of the increasing control of Zionists in Hollywood. They own the studios, they shape the stories. They decide who gets hurt and who doesn't. I saw it clearly and I couldn't be part of that system anymore.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, not that it's wrong. It's Just not what he said.

[Adam Curry]

Not that he's wrong.

[John C. Dvorak]

Not that he's wrong. Hey, with that, I want to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the second word of point cast, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John Cedor.

[Adam Curry]

Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Kareem. Near subs of Water Games. Nice out there.

[John C. Dvorak]

In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Let me count you for a second. All right, 1537 on the troll count. Listening live to no agenda stream dot com. We appreciate everyone who is checking us out. Probably, hopefully. Or you should be listening in a modern podcast app because now the podcast index is stopping slop and spam. We're stopping slop, John. Stopping. Yeah, we're stopping the slope. We're stopping the slop.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, the AI crap.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Okay. How have you accomplished this?

[John C. Dvorak]

Ah, we're fighting AI with AI. Yep, we are. Yes. We have built our own weights in a model because there's a lot of things that you don't want to overfit. Overfitting is the term. You want to overfit the model, so it. So it starts making wrong decisions. But the spam is pretty easy to detect because that's. Typically they just want to somehow get a website because if you get a free podcast account, you get a website that is highly ranked in Google and then they get SEO juice. But the AI slop is off the chart. I mean, people are just throwing out hundreds of podcasts a day of nonsense a day. Oh, yeah. From one outfit, 100 new podcasts. Boom. 100 new podcasts. And they do it, you know, on one of these outfits that give you ads. So if you have a hundred new podcasts and each one has 10 episodes, so now we're at a thousand. That's a CPM. And you get two ads at the front and two ads at the back. You know, if you get a couple people listening, you could. You're making. You're making pocket change. You know, a CPM is probably remnant stuff. Five bucks. So, you know, you could be making 50, maybe $100 a day. That's not, you know, that's money. So now we're detecting this and we're chopping it out. We're like, no, we're just done with it. It's ruining it. It's ruining everything. So we're not going to let it ruin podcasting. So get a modern podcast app, you know, because Apple can't fight the this. They don't have our technology, they don't have the people. So I don't know how they're going to do it. Or Spotify. Even worse, Spotify, they're actually providing these. The hosting for all these scam podcasts.

[Adam Curry]

No.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes. Yeah, they bought. What hosting company do they buy? They bought a hosting company and they bought Megaphone, which is the advertising company. Yeah, they are the bad actor in the bunch of. So you know, they have competing. What was the name of that company they bought? Not acas. Anchor. Thank you. Bruce Benrose. Anchor. They bought Anchor. It's free. Someone can create a free account. So you create a whole bunch of free accounts and then you get your megaphone advertising and it's all slop. It's no good. It's even worse as people are, you know Librivox. You familiar with Librivox?

[Adam Curry]

No, I'm not.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh. So people do audiobooks of open source or public domain books, which is, you know, a lot of it's not great readers. So now the AI Slop guys, they are doing AI generated versions of Librivox books. So if you look and go to Spotify and look for the story of Frankenstein, you'll see 50 of them. And can you find a real one in the middle of that? It's not going to be easy. So anyway, you want one of those modern podcast [e-mail] and the groovy thing about it, besides 27 new features that you won't get on the legacy apps, is when we go live, we fire off the bat signal. You get an alert, you know that we're live. You get it right there in your podcast app. Or if you don't have time for that, you want to listen to it later. Within 90 seconds of us publishing the show, you'll know about it in the modern podcast app, podcastapps.com we are a value for value podcast. I talked about this at the top of the show. We don't have ads. We are not slop. By definitely we are not slop. Maybe to old dudes, but we're not slop. So we just say, do you like value? You got value. Was this valuable to you? Are you still listening at this point? Then you certainly must have gotten some value in the past two hours. All we ask is that you send it back to us in time. Talent or treasure? That could be many different things. Helping us out with clips, giving us story ideas. I didn't even remind me to do the SCOTUS decision of the Voting Rights act because Rob Carty, the constitutional lawyer sent me a note about it and it is quite different from what you've heard from the mt.

[Adam Curry]

Let's do it now.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay, well since you say it, I'll do it right now. This is bonus bonus content, so I'll just give you, let me give you the Nicole Wallace version of this Supreme Court decision.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

In a likely blow to Democrats representation in con and in a complete and utter perversion of the original purpose of the Voting Rights act, the nation's highest court told states that they can almost never consider race when drawing congressional maps to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights act and striking down Louisiana's congressional maps. Due to a majority black district, the decision was 6:3 along ideological lines with all three liberal justices decision dissenting. Justice Samuel Alito writing for the majority said this quote, compliance with Section 2 of the Voting Rights act could not justify the state's use of race based redistricting here. The state's attempt to satisfy the district court's ruling, although understandable, was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. While the court technically stopped short of overturning this key provision entirely. In a scathing decision dissent, Justice Elena Kagan called it demolished and said that today's majority opinion amounts to, quote the largest reduction to minority representation since the end of Reconstruction.

[John C. Dvorak]

President Obama posting about it on X and oh this is horrible. This is diminishing the black vote in America. But what was the case really about? I cite from the constitutional lawyer. After the 2020 census, Louisiana redrew some congressional districts. A coalition of black voters challenged the plan claiming that it diluted black voting power. A court agreed and invalidated the plan. So Louisiana wrote a new plan that specifically accounted for race and protected black voting power just as the court, the lower court required. Then a group of non black voters challenged this new map since saying hey this is racist. They took it to the Supreme Court and guess what? The Supreme Court said yeah, you can't do that based on race no matter what color they are. And that's what they struck down. But you will see it as Republicans hate black people.

[Adam Curry]

Well the funny thing is some years and years and years ago there was a discussion, probably have a clip about it how there was a kind of a gentleman's agreement between black, certain black congressmen and certain white representatives that would allow these blacks to get a foothold.

[John C. Dvorak]

Please say these blacks a couple more times.

[Adam Curry]

These blacks a foothold, A wink wink, nudge, nudge, foothold. You guys can always have this district but we always get to have this district so we can out. You know, it's just going to be this nice balance between the two of us. And it was a gentleman's agreement to have this sort of race based distinction. And I guess somebody finally called it. I always thought it was going to fall apart.

[John C. Dvorak]

It had to. It's completely ridiculous.

[Adam Curry]

Hmm.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay, well, there you go. Bonus content right there for you, everybody. So that's one way that you can provide value back to the show by being a constitutional lawyer helping us out. You can also do things like create artwork for the show. It's not very hard to do anymore, but we have some, I think some great end of show mixes. The music is getting much better and the concepts around our end of show mixes are getting better. Such as the newsletter is now just a staple. We're just putting the newsletter into AI and turning it into a song. But the music is really good. And then one of our producers I think was MVP, did all the numbers, PI, at least for as long as the song lasted. 3.14, et cetera, et. And that turned out to be kind of interesting. And then there's a donation song at the end. So this is.

[Adam Curry]

This is a big number.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's a really big number. You don't say it's a big number. Okay. You can also create art and you can upload that at no Agenda Art generator dot com. The art generator by itself is. Is maintained by Sir Paul Couture. And I need to mention that the. The red knight order of the heart pins are in. I'm reliably informed from Jay. Have you seen them?

[Adam Curry]

And you'll get one shortly.

[John C. Dvorak]

I know, but have you seen them?

[Adam Curry]

Oh, yeah, I got them right here in the. They're right here.

[John C. Dvorak]

Are you wearing it? Are you wearing your.

[Adam Curry]

I don't have a lapel.

[John C. Dvorak]

Just put it on your collarbone. It'll be fine. Just stick it in. So we want to thank Ryan M. Scott, the artist who gave us the artwork for episode 1863. We titled that one Nekit. This was an interesting piece. I had some complaints about it because I thought Curry and Dvorak was too small. It was like a postcard, false flag postcard with our president saluting right in front of the American flag. But what was cool is that in each of the letters there was a little scene from the White House correspondence dinner. And I'm typically not a fan of small things in the art world work, but this was well done. And I guess it's AI you would. You would presume it is.

[Adam Curry]

I think it's a combination. He had to do some. There's no way you could prompt this.

[John C. Dvorak]

I don't know. I don't know what you can or can't prom. I kind of like this other false flag, which is the blue, red and white. You didn't like that one? Now, we would have chosen. We would have chosen the SPLC artwork by Darren o'. Neill. Neil, which was a cool piece. It had a guy with a KKK hood on. And there's an SPLC Southern Poverty Liars Club. And it had this, you know, this. This KKK SPLC guy with his hand out, grabbing some dollars. Underneath it said funding hates to end hate. But Darren neglected to see that the hand was backward. It was the wrong hand. Wrong hand sticking out of the right

[Adam Curry]

hand on his left arm.

[John C. Dvorak]

So, Darren, if you had just re prompted it, man, you might have had a shot. So sorry, we have to draw the line some. Wow. Did you see this BB Netanyahu piece?

[Adam Curry]

The one just came in?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, this is great. It's Bibi Netanyahu lying on the beach in a Speedo and he has seashells. Like the Comey seashells, except his say 6947

[Adam Curry]

gross.

[John C. Dvorak]

That's very gross. Not gonna win honorable mention. So that's the no Agenda art generator. Thank you all so very much, all of you who participate. And now we are going to thank our supporters, financial treasure supporters. $50 and above. We'll mention everybody now. If you are able to Support us with $200 or more, we will give you the official Hollywood title of Associate Executive Producer. And we will read your note. $300 or more and you become an executive producer. And we read your note. And these credits are good anywhere Hollywood style. And actual Hollywood credits are recognized. So you can go to IMDb.com, open an account. If you don't have one, put it on your LinkedIn, put it in your resume. Even Linda Lupatkin says there are many reasons why that may be useful, depending on what kind of job you're looking for. And we have the special insanite red Knight Order of the Heart campaign still running. And that today will go to James Pellicio. I think we pronounce it. He's from Oxford, Pennsylvania, comes in with $1,000. And he says, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. Chester County, Pa. First time rogan donation going back to almost 10 years of listening. Thanks for keeping me sane during COVID And for hours of listening in the car, please send Health Karma to John. Well, that's nice. We'll send you some health. Karma.

[News Reporter / Correspondent]

You've got karma.

[Adam Curry]

Natalie Martin in Snohomish, Washington. 650 Adam and John. This donation brings me to namehood. I'd like to be known as Dame Freeze Peach. No jingles, but please play your strongest F. Cancer.

[John C. Dvorak]

Curry cast it for the win, baby. Oh, yeah. Hey, before we do anything like that, it's time for John's tip of the day. Great advice for you and me. Just. Oh, hold on a second. And sometimes. I'm sorry, just for the Nazis out there, it's GNU Linux. They're already in the troll room. Please excuse me. It's.

[Adam Curry]

Refuse to say it.

[John C. Dvorak]

All right? Tip of the today and.

[Adam Curry]

No, it's not.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's not okay.

[Adam Curry]

It's just Stallman. Okay. I went back to the. The well here. When they do a wine tip.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, yes.

[Adam Curry]

Love the wine tips, people.

[John C. Dvorak]

Love the wine tips.

[Adam Curry]

Costco.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, wow. Tina just was just in Austin and.

[Donald Trump]

Crap.

[Adam Curry]

Well, she missed out.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

This is the Kirkland 2024 Bordeaux Blanc.

[John C. Dvorak]

Ooh.

[Adam Curry]

699.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh,

[Adam Curry]

this is the perfect wine for you ABC people. Anything but Chardonnay, which is a huge contingent of people are sick of Chardonnay and they want something that's refreshing, juicy, great flavors, nice nose. It's got everything going on. It's the Kirkland 2024 Bordeaux Blanc van de Bordeaux, Appalachian Bordeaux Control A. It has a little moniker at the bottom, little chateau name where it came from, which I'd have to look at the label to see.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, you have it there.

[Adam Curry]

I have only a photo of it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, I have questions.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah,

[John C. Dvorak]

you are not allowed to drink wine.

[Adam Curry]

No, no, I can drink now.

[John C. Dvorak]

I thought you had to wait six months.

[Adam Curry]

No, it turns out my dietitian said I can have a glass of wine.

[John C. Dvorak]

This dietitian deserves a raise. That's great. That's. Well, hey, I'm happy because I've been telling all my friends, because everyone wants to know, how's John? How's John? How's John? I'm so sick of it. Well, he's not dead, okay? It's just everyone, how's John? How's John? But I Tell him, like, it's kind of sad because he can't have Little John's candies, he can't have Gigawatt Coffee Roasters, and he can't have any wine. Like, oh, oh, no. How is he holding up? I said, well, he's kind of grumpy. But now it turns out you can have wine. So you have sampled this yourself?

[Adam Curry]

Yes. The Chateau Petite Freylon, it says at the very bottom, which is the chateau, is an ordinary Bordeaux from the probably the Entre de Mer area. But it's the wine for you ABC folk. Super cheap. Everybody loves it. It's gotten 91 points from one reviewer and the Costco wine block gave it 89 points. And I think they were being cheesy.

[John C. Dvorak]

Now, is this, this is a white wine?

[Adam Curry]

Yes, a white wine. Bordeaux, Blanc Bourlon.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes. Chateau Migraine.

[Donald Trump]

What?

[John C. Dvorak]

Chateau Migraine.

[Adam Curry]

What's Chateau Migran?

[John C. Dvorak]

Chateau Migraine. Chateau Migraine.

[Adam Curry]

No, you don't get a migraine from this.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay. Ah, any. So there are a lot of people or anything but Chardonnay, is that.

[Adam Curry]

What is the kind of big deal?

[John C. Dvorak]

What kind of club is this? This.

[Adam Curry]

It's a bunch of women who don't like chardonnay. There are people that for chardonnay, which is so ubiquitous and is one of the most amazing products that ever came out of California, some of them are just dynamite and I mean really stunning wines that compete with the world class wines from France, they're sick of them. They just can't take them because there's too much Chardonnay out there too. There's tons of it. They want something different. This is different.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm going to pick some up because we have a couple of those women in our friend group.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, they would love this stuff.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, yeah. And you know, wow, the currys, man, they, they've, they've got something great. And I'll be like, yeah, 699, baby. Is it even 699? How much is it?

[Adam Curry]

699?

[John C. Dvorak]

699. Well, ladies and gentlemen, especially you ladies, you're ABCers. If that isn't a tip of the day, I don't know what is. You can go to tipoftheday.net or noagenderfund.com, to find them all. John C. Dvorak's Tip of the Day.

[Adam Curry]

And sometimes Adam, created by Dana Bernetti.

[John C. Dvorak]
