I'm Adam curry John C Dvorak: from the other Silicon Valley where everybody's walking celebrities. I'm John Cena Adam Curry: I saw I saw those clips. I just saw the titles I'm 

    like, Oh, okay. I guess he's all over it. He's got the coverage but before we do anything, Happy Mother's Day everybody. Happy Mother's Day. Happy John C Dvorak: Mother's Day everybody Happy Adam Curry: Mother's Day and I'm seeing people love their mothers more this year than last year for some reason. And John C Dvorak: with good rod because of bird flu Adam Curry: with good reason. And may I suggest if you're in America, maybe even I don't know if it's in Europe. But if you have the opportunity take your mom to see the movie unsung hero 

    in theaters now. You she will love it. You will love it. You will cry. John C Dvorak: You will you will have a kiss 20 bucks. Goodbye. You. It's Adam Curry: a good movie. We went to see it yesterday in the theater. Can you believe it? You actually Whoa, why? No. We went to the theater theater. Yes. Yeah, I know. Well, the theater experience these days is very different. Why? I mean, these seats where you have electric reclining seats, cupholders lots 

    of room. Nah, there's leather. John C Dvorak: We have one of the dinner theaters around here this show first run movies and I Adam Curry: know did art Yes. That's lame to me. I just want to sit there lame. But John C Dvorak: the electric chairs okay. Yeah, that Adam Curry: might I want to eat dinner while I'm watching the movie and want to watch the movie and I want to have a pretzel. The pretzel, pretzel and and a sugary drink and a sugary John C Dvorak: Datsun. Good and plenty. Adam Curry: Well, I think before John C Dvorak: so what's this movie about that you bring up? 

    Oh, Adam Curry: it's it's about an Australian family. The dad's concert promotes a true story concert promoter. And he goes bankrupt in Australia during I think it's 87. So it was like a financial crash and must have hit Australia harder. And so the family moved to Nashville and they got like eight kids, seven kids. And of course everything falls apart and they wind up cleaning scrubbing toilets and mowing lawns has this facet yet 

    sounds uplifting and yeah, yeah. But then what happens is the daughter becomes a music superstar. Two of her brothers become music superstars. And for king and country and Rebecca St. James, this is all 90 stuff. And it's a true story. And it's it's good. But of course at the end it turns out it was really the mom that kept everyone together. So it's a mom is the unsung Oh, I get it. You see it's a beautiful now now people won't go and see it now that I've given it away. Unknown: Thanks. Spoiler alert. 

    Adam Curry: Anyway, for I probably I'm pretty sure that we have done this every year since the inception of this program. I think we have always made time to celebrate the magic that is Eurovision television broadcasting. John C Dvorak: Let's let's put it a different way. Change that we have to you. I'm sorry. You are the one that has. Oh, I have 

    nothing to do with this segment. Yes, you are. You were a kid and you got into it when you're a kid and you've been into it ever since and you watch it religiously. You've never missed it ever. Adam Curry: I don't think I've ever missed a Eurovision Song Contest. Ever. John C Dvorak: You've never I from what I can tell you never have and you bring us and we don't even need to watch it because you bring us up to speed every year with your report. Yes. Adam Curry: Well, this was a very controversial year John a lot going on the report is a little more complex. Tell me 

    more. Well, first of all, we had Israel now you have to understand that Eurovision broadcasting the Eurovision broadcast system EBS by the way the the theme this year was united by music. So of course we have Australia is in the European weight every year we go through this John C Dvorak: but what was the theme last year? Adam Curry: The Satan on the way I think Okay. By the way, the 

    true winner this year once again was Satan who has taken over Europe there's no doubt about it. But but it's not just your opinion you have Australia's in They're and Israel and Russia, they kicked Russia out because you know, Russia bad. Russia, Russia is not even allowed to participate anymore. And this end, as we noticed this year, everything was very effeminate, more so than than in previous or John C Dvorak: so. And that bearded lady one yes, even more so even more so. Adam Curry: So first we need to start with the controversy that 

    Israel was in this at all were united by music, but no, no, we need Palestinian protests. Unknown: It's the largest live music event in the world, and one that prides itself on bringing countries together through music. But this Yes, Eurovision contest held in the Swedish city of Malmo is more divided than ever over its inclusion of Israel, and would like it to be so that the music will unite people, and we all love music, but this year music is dividing people and I 

    don't like that putting on a show like your audition is just just feel strong when these things are happening. So I'm showing my support from Palestine and hope that the countries and the leading people of the countries will react in some way. Crowds Adam Curry: of of a 10,000 people took to the city streets chanting Free Palestine. So there was a lot of lot of protesting and it was amazing. I couldn't believe my locker now that was held in Malmo, Sweden this year, listen to who shows 

    up, and you tell me who this protester is. 100,000 Unknown: visitors who have gathered in Malmo for Eurovision competition to prides itself on uniting countries through music, but the inclusion of Israel has sparked outrage among pro Palestinian demonstrators, just like on American and European campuses. They're calling for boycotts and disinvestment from Israel, protesting against the country's operations in Gaza. I think they can be everywhere. And once again, young people are 

    leading the way showing showing the world how they're called, how we should react to this. Yeah, who was that? John C Dvorak: I don't know. grand ideas. It was a girl with a Dutch accent it was Adam Curry: Greta Greta tune Berry. What were the caffeine scarf everything she's gone from climate change to caffeine. John C Dvorak: Oh, my God, that's a catch. Adam Curry: She is a professional protester. Let's just put it that way. John C Dvorak: I guess you'd have to say that now a professional protest. He's obviously not focused on what 

    you should be focused on now. If she's gonna be what she's focused on, which is climate. And she's doing this got nothing to do with this is ridiculous. You're right. She's now she's just she blew her cover. You can Adam Curry: just call her up and say I need you to protest for this and like, Okay, do you have a scarf? Hi, I'm good to go. Now, John C Dvorak: where she gets a scarf. Adam Curry: She probably selling them. So there we're now to the incredible controversy, which happens just hours before the 

    dress rehearsal. The Netherlands was in the finals. They were to be in the finals. But something happened. And for the first time in my memory, the years and everyone I've seen every single one of them since I've been alive. The Netherlands was disqualified from participation. The Unknown: EBU the organizers off to Eurovision have actually kept their public statement rather vague, just saying that there was an ongoing police investigation involving a female 

    crew member without really giving any further details. But then today in the course of the afternoon, off rotos, the Dutch broadcaster who is one of the many broadcasters funding and broadcasting the Eurovision every year has come out with a statement on social media saying that your client did in fact make a threatening movement towards a female crew member. But this was in reaction to her not leaving him alone after he 

    repeatedly said that he didn't want to be filmed. They are calling to disqualification or the exclusion of your client from the event rather disproportionate and say there that they are disappointed with the decision. As you can imagine the reactions of the fans have been pretty intense, both at the venue as well as on social media. They they say they're confused and they don't quite understand why this happened. Very Adam Curry: very fishy, John very fishy. Why all of a sudden 

    they disqualified John C Dvorak: what has to show some guy on the on the song a dance team for the no Adam Curry: no the guy on the network because it's just a guy with huge pointy shoulder to shoulder pads with the song Euro Papa, which is about the EU being your daddy. So I don't think John C Dvorak: there you go. That's the real reason And Adam Curry: I guess them here. Oh, Papa. John C Dvorak: We gotta get a copy of that. Adam Curry: No, you don't. I'm not playing any songs this year. 

    They were all equally bad. John C Dvorak: I heard the I heard the Israeli woman she she's had a pretty decent summer. She says, it's got that Taylor Swift song style. You know, it's like, milk toast. Yeah, Adam Curry: no, it was all pretty bad. But so whatever happened, I think the you know, but I'm sure that they were just sticking a camera in his face. He was like one of those moves. And while you're disqualified right away that the Netherlands tuned out unanimously, the lowest television ratings ever, of course, outrage, outrage, well, how could this have 

    happened? Now, we're starting to get ready to pay it off. And I am just so pleased that I can bring you two short clips from the BBC John C Dvorak: before you do this. I'm gonna say this. I followed it. I had I was gonna get some clips. I said, why bother? Because Adam will over cover it. And but I did I waited No, I because I knew today was the day they're going to win or wins. And I have no idea who it is. So this would be a surprise 

    to me. I let you report it. And I'm gonna be shocked. Well, Adam Curry: and typically, unlike, unlike the outcome of the outcry for everyone, like we should not have this be a political contest. It's always a political John C Dvorak: context. We've noticed that over the year that is obvious. It has been a complete Adam Curry: political contest. I wouldn't even say Israel had it in the I think in the in the there's pre judging. It's the 

    whole thing is had the whole thing is rigged. It's worse than US elections. Trust me. I think Israel probably would have had a chance to win but of course, all these other countries gave Israel zero points, which is fringe points, or 0.0 points, because you know, you want your genocide errs, so but it wasn't political at all. John C Dvorak: So let me guess the winner was Joe Biden. Not Unknown: even close. After protests and controversy, the winner of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden has been 

    announced. It's Switzerland. Was Nemo singing the code the competition was marred by divisions over Israel's involvement which sparked pro Palestinian demonstrations in the city of Malmo where Eurovision was held. At one point though, when the votes came in Israel's Eden Golan was in the lead. She finished fifth 

    with 375 points, but it was Switzerland and Nino's night, taking 591 points. Mara machinery is in Malmo covering the extravaganza and Adam Curry: so it's very obvious we went for a safe a holistic through Switzerland and neutral off neutral beat just let's just do that it's safe. Now. Listen carefully. John C Dvorak: For one thing, though, they could have played they actually played their song and said that piece of crap they played, Adam Curry: though, that's the winning song. Well, Unknown: stay tuned after a week of high drama, and high 

    controversy at last all boiled down to who sang the best song according to the juries, and who sang the best song, according to audiences. And yes, as you mentioned, already, the winner Switzerland winning actually by a good margin over Croatia, which came second and France, which came third. It was an amazing competition and Nemo, the Swiss act, they were absolutely brilliant. They literally won. The majority of all the jury votes, and they ended up coming first. It was a 

    nail biting final couple of seconds. And you saw Croatia and you saw Switzerland certainly did 183 points from the audience vote to win the competition. And they got that and they were so pleased now Adam Curry: listening from this report. Would you consider this to be a band? John C Dvorak: Nemo Well, you Adam Curry: heard they they kept they they won. They did a great job. They had a fantastic cup. Oh, John C Dvorak: I see where you're going. So this is actually just a solo act. And that's their pronoun. Yeah, you 

    Adam Curry: better believe it. Unknown: Switzerland has won the Eurovision Song Contest. Nemo is the first non binary contestant to take the home to the crystal microphone. That song The code is a drum and bass opera, rap and rock tune about niemals journey of self discovery as a non binary person. John C Dvorak: Okay, hold on, hold on. You're not even gonna do it. Adam Curry: You're not even at the punch line. journey of self discovery as a non binary person. So do you get it the song is about pneumos their self discovery is a nine Nonnberg But 

    burn burn airy persons. Unknown: That song The code is a drum and bass opera, rap and rock tune about niemals journey of self discovery as a non binary person. Switzerland's winner Nemo faced the press and flew the flag of pride. This was one of the most queer representations we've seen at Eurovision which is like amazing. I want to shout out all the other queer artists this year, like, give it up, give it up for everyone. And just to be a part of it was was special and 

    to know that that a song that has changed my life and a song where I just speak about my story has touched so many people and maybe inspire other people to stay true to their story is is is the most insane thing that has ever happened to me. Europe is lost. I mean, Adam Curry: gay lesbian, sure. But queer non binary they them 

    there. No, this has to be rejected. This is it. This is just just in time for Pride Month. Come on. How does that hater? Yes, I'm a hater. Unknown: I am listening to your story. My story. John C Dvorak: That's what he said. Or she was one of my very, very. Yeah, so that's that. So you brought up a point, which is the grammatical issues 

    Adam Curry: with the BBC. John C Dvorak: Yes, the sticklers. Yes. We want sticklers they wouldn't allow this kind of thing where you'd say they for a guy who rode in a dress or whatever he is. She they what am I doing? I can't even keep up myself. But we're trying to confuse but when Adam Curry: didn't Yes, and there it is. But when did non binary all of a sudden that's queer. That was never in the book. John C Dvorak: And remember, I think non binary was started 

    queer. Adam Curry: Now queer used to just be gay guys. They used to just be queers. Remember that the good old days? Yeah, John C Dvorak: we're here. We're queer. Get used to it. That was the original one. Yes, Gay Pride first one of the pride months took place and it was an 80s I believe and we're here we're queer get used to it was the was the banner but it didn't at the time refer to non binaries, but it's been taken over. hijacked. We've had clip after clip of lesbians bitching about the situation. Adam Curry: And remember, not only was Nemo with code, the 

    queer winter, but we had the crazy Irish queer. Unknown: Do you know? Do you know what makes me special? I'm a queer. Adam Curry: Alright, so queer is non queer is non binary witches, apparently. I mean, get it together, people get a definition down. So So you know, sis genders. John C Dvorak: Figures, Adam. Yeah. Who forces himself to watch this crap. I love it. 

    Adam Curry: I love it. The problem then just in time for Pride Month and Unknown: target is reportedly pulling LGBTQ themed merchandise from certain locations during pride month. Bloomberg reports The move follows a backlash blamed for a drop in sales last year, some stores had to remove items after a spike in confrontations between workers and customers. Adam Curry: Where'd you get that report? That's from ABC. John C Dvorak: Where are the locations? Did they mention any of them? 101 of them in California is in Texas as it 

    dealt Louisiana is it? Michigan? Adam Curry: I guarantee you it's not Berkeley and it's not Austin. I can guarantee you that right now. I don't know where it is. But it's only it's not any others not those two. Those two. John C Dvorak: Ah, so you know this reporting I got a few examples of this today. This left out information. They don't tell you anything. They tell you well, this is happening but they don't tell you what the look you don't have. You can't get a feeling for for the developmental aspect of it. You 

    don't understand you. They don't want you to understand anything anymore. They just make these blanket blanket statements and they hope that you can kind of live with it lying. Adam Curry: What did you say? What did you call me? Say that again? What did you say? John C Dvorak: Say anything? Adam Curry: Live with it clear? That's what you said did Wow. I can just see you walk on the streets of Berkeley. Hey, live with it clear. John C Dvorak: You talking to me? 

    Adam Curry: I'm sorry. This is I mean, this is just fallen times. This is not cool. Oh, what happened to ABA ABA Of course there's a special it's still relevant ABA still rockin it. But no, we got to have queers now. John C Dvorak: Sure, Palestine. That's my favorite. It just Adam Curry: has to stop. It has to stop. Or at least we can just stop doing the day them Come on stop it now BBC, although in 

    Britain now if John C Dvorak: you've made them is annoying, but all the other pronouns are to what? Why is this so important to these people that they, they, they start to cry on tick tock. If they're missing, you know, pronoun is not even misgendered is Miss pronoun. Yep, there's a because you can be any gender in the world and be GJ or whatever it is. Because that's your pronouns as 100 There's never a relation. This is interesting. There's not a direct relationship between the pronouns and the genders. No, exactly. It just is random 

    genders and random pronouns on top of random genders now, so that makes it just what is the point of doing this to the public? Why, why is this advocated by anybody? Well, I can tell you what it's resulted off my lawn. Adam Curry: It's what is resulting in in Sweden, they now have equality Ombudsman's in schools, just in case someone has misgendered. In this case, a non binary student was 

    misgendered by the teacher and the teacher refused to call the student the sweetest hen, which is the sweetest word for, for for they. And now the school has to pay the aggrieved student $15,000. Yeah, John C Dvorak: don't get that one. Adam Curry: That's in that well, it's in the Daily Mail. So I'm gonna grade store in that awesome. Yeah, that's what it's for. It's a money making scheme. I'm sorry, it was just, I'm just 

    putting my foot down on the pronouns. No, no, but just stopping that. John C Dvorak: You can put your foot down all you want is the Titanic we're dealing with here. You gotta wait for it to sink. Adam Curry: It's only a matter of time, right now, you know, before LGBTQ really popped off big time it was black lives matter. You remember when Black Lives Matter had that big. It was the big concert, and it was in LA, I think was Los Angeles. 

    And that was like the big culmination. And then all of a sudden, everyone was on the pride stage. And then Black Lives Matter was like by Sia, remember that? And vaguely, John C Dvorak: I don't remember it is obviously as Adam Curry: well, that's and then everything kind of moved over to John C Dvorak: were taken over the years. And then Adam Curry: all of the leaders of Black Lives Matter. They all kind of went being bought mansions and kind of disappeared into the woodwork and all the hundreds of millions of dollars that Nike and all these companies went to Haiti kind of 

    all all just everything just went quiet all of a sudden, well, now, now with the Israel protests, and also some LGBTQ stuff. I think you'll recall, many of these smaller organizations like justice for Austin's black artists coalition, or something like that. They never had a, you know, a 5013 c status. They were all members of different larger organizations, which typically were really meant to bust people 

    out of jail, without bail, or to just get them out of jail. So you get arrested, you go to jail. Here's the money that the people gave you to, to forward, you know, to to progress African Americans in the arts. And of course, it was only used to bus the protesters out of jail the troublemakers. So now, black lives matter a lot of the spirit or role today. I'm so so tired of all this crap. Oh, Unknown: brother. There we go. Yeah, I'm Adam Curry: almost 60. So now, a lot of Black Lives Matter these 

    small organizations, these bogus organizations. Now they're figuring out that they all got ripped off. Unknown: This is a unique situation in that we have two progressives engaged in what I think is going to be a very bitter fight. Black Lives Matter global network foundation is suing Tides Foundation, which is a nonprofit that manages cash for nonprofits who don't have status with the IRS. So smaller nonprofits. BLM GNS is saying that they entrusted $33 million 

    to Tides Foundation back in 2020 when they did not have status with the IRS. Essentially for safekeeping and from paying for management of that cash in 2021, when they asked for that cash back ties refused and said they were giving money to other BLM chapters. So the key question is who has the right to the donations that came into Black Lives Matter global network 

    foundation. So this is a big fight. One of the things that tides has been in the news for lately is that it's acted as sort of a flow through nonprofit. For a lot of the groups that are funding the campus protests at Columbia, at NYU at Berkeley, so very much under the microscope right now, what is tides, which is an organization that has about $1.4 billion in its coffers. Like what what is Thais really doing 

    with the cash that is entrusted to them by these other groups? And how were they doling it out? Adam Curry: Yeah, notice it was 33 million thereafter which is no coincidence of course, and tides is clearly a troublemaker organization to clearing house for Soros he put 14 million I know this John C Dvorak: whole thing the way that that story was described I know about this is going on it's kind of almost a local story. The the way it sounds the IRS should go look at 

    this Yes, it sounds as though they're using the ties foundation as a slush place for slush funds yes to go in and out and and and you know these guys oh, we're too small to be a not we're a small nonprofit, therefore we give it to the tides and they give it back to us. What is this going on here? You're supposed to it's not that hard to file this paperwork. If you're going to be a nonprofit be a nonprofit. Don't be a phony baloney front. Yeah, Adam Curry: that's what they are phony baloney front, exactly. For for Marxists. For as they say trained Marxists. 

    troublemakers, troublemakers. And corporate America should be ashamed of themselves. So this fall right into play. And you know, just while we're on it, if all these protesters are so Oh, so mad about you got to divest. You know what? Get rid of your Gmail. All right. Google is a bad apple and all this. If you really serious get rid of your YouTube. Stop it no more YouTube for you. All of this stuff, but now they're not sincere. They're 

    not sincere. They're phonies. They're all phonies. phonies? Yeah, phonies, Ill phonies, little nonbinary phonies, tired of them. I really am. I'm tired of actually John C Dvorak: little non binary photos to show I think is probably an apt term. I'm almost a good show Tylo long. But I think it's apt because I look at these, these you know, blue haired women and all the rest of it. And you have to think that 

    you drawn attention to yourself, you got a, you know, a bone in your nose and you got the whole nine yards with it with the look of fields. Adam Curry: It's not a bone. No, it's, it's a cow ring. It's a boy John C Dvorak: or a bone with doesn't make any difference. It doesn't matter. But it's just like these are phonies. Yeah. And Adam Curry: this is all starting the others has a great book. I haven't finished reading it. So the age, age of agreed grievance 

    eight, what is the age of grief of grievance? John C Dvorak: Yeah, something like that. This book, and it's very Adam Curry: interesting because it's all starting in middle school and in high schools. This is where these kids are really getting Psyops and, and I have now learned about this. And this is I mean, it's crazy. This thing called the whole child initiative. Yes, this is around. Okay. So what this is, is the CDC is now in it with money, the whole child initiative, they, 

    they give money to probably the similar or the same type of psychiatrists, and doctors who are after one meeting telling your kid you're a boy. And they're putting these clinics into schools. And then and then the parents are being told, hey, you know, it's okay, checkups, everything, it's all free as vaccines John C Dvorak: is to get all the kids Shut up with RNA mRNA vaccines, Adam Curry: but also propaganda is propaganda. And at this 

    point, take John C Dvorak: these pills you're a boy, not Adam Curry: be a boy, you gotta homeschool you and or start your own start a new school because the good news is the way this is going. These children are not going to reproduce. So this will be over in. By the time your kids are third generations to generation. It'll end because they're just gonna die off they're either sterilized or, or same sex. non binary no binary 

    No, no nary little non binary phonies. It'll go and they'll have no job because they're useless. I'm like, why even try to pay moms for liberty? Stop trying to change the school. It's not worth it. Start a new school moms Liberty school, whatever. It's not worth it anymore. Unknown: You're done. I am dad. Yes. Adam Curry: I have sick and tired of it. 

    John C Dvorak: The audience numbers Okay. Well, your Adam Curry: audience numbers. They're gonna go down. You think they're gonna go down? Because I'm saying this. John C Dvorak: Oh, I'm sorry. No, most people like like a rant about blue haired people Adam Curry: are all upset with me. Unknown: So John C Dvorak: the point I was making at the beginning about this, there's a movement going on to to to issue celebrities. Yeah, like, this is hilarious. And it's but it's not what you know. It's interesting. I have the contrasting clips here. 

    These are people on Tik Tok to who taught by we have one of our producers is following this closely and I got all updated. This is about this is some sort of rejection, I think to to the because of the I think the economy combined with people throwing their richness in your face at the Met in particular. Oh, yeah. It's become an issue with the masses at at the TIC tock level. But it's being I have to play this first, which 

    is the NPR take on it because they have actually had a report on it. I think it's NPR is it? Yes. Isn't. It says let's say Unknown: voices of America. This is NPR or PBS social. John C Dvorak: Sorry, wait, wait. So this the NPR report and so that to find a reason or rationale, they've dreamed this up? This is bogus. This is what you're going to hear is complete bullshit. Here we go. A social 

    Unknown: media campaign aimed at pushing celebrities to speak out about the conflict in Gaza went into overdrive this week after the Met Gala. And here's Chloe Veltman reports. Users on Tik Tok earned millions of views for their videos telling people to block stars like Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj and Matt Damon. The calls to block celebrities on social media as you say Adam Curry: Matt Damon? Yeah, it's Matt Damon has now Matt demon Taylor Swift, Nicki Unknown: Minaj and Matt Damon. 

    John C Dvorak: The course demons celebrities Unknown: on social media have been going on for months. But Monday's Mendala with its unchecked display of privilege and wealth. Enraged, Tik Tok is like Christopher Claflin flexing on the peasants only works when the peasants aren't watching other peasants be wiped off the face of the planet. The star studded annual event took place just as 1000s of Palestinians were fleeing an Israeli assault on Rafa Gaza. The block seeks to undermine stars advertising revenue on social media, but many users on these platforms are also complaining that they 

    are still receiving ads related to stars they blocked. That's because ads are often not run through the celebrities accounts. But third parties Chloe Veltman NPR news was three John C Dvorak: parties. Couple of things here. One, this is a media example. This is a we don't use this term much but I call it shoehorning and shoehorning is where you have a phenomenon taking place and you don't understand it. And instead 

    of just listening to it and kind of figuring it out fit it into a model. You fit it in you shoehorn it into a mA and in this case it's Gaza there is no clips I have there's no indication of this this is just a a a push back against the it's easy to read these pizza rich eat the rich or the it's an eat the rich thing is that it has a lot to do with it and it all stem and it's not like this British woman said it hasn't 

    been going on for months. This is fairly recent. In fact, the Tick Tock is one clips he claims it's been going on for two weeks and and boiled up during the Met Gala which has really offended a lot of people but let's listen to these guys who are actually pushing it and they're on Tik Tok. They're talkers and let's just start with the first guy. They're talkers. Unknown: talker blocking celebrities now the latest trend in social media including high profile celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, who has already lost 

    millions of followers. This all stems from a recent publicity event at the Met Gala in which influencer Haley Bailey said Let them eat cake which as you know if you ever took a history class back in college that is a reference to the famous Queen Marie Antoinette, who essentially belittled her peasants and said that she was better to than doing to be an elitist with a lot of money. And this has caused massive outlash over social media due to the fact there's a massive wage disparity in the world today, with influencers making millions and millions of dollars to post on social media. And everyday people simply struggling to make ends meet and pay their bills 

    and get a job. The effect has caused many celebrities to lose massive amounts of followers hoping the celebrities will lose a lot of their income as a result. What do you guys think about this whole trend about blocking celebrities on social media? Adam Curry: Okay, wow, that I'm gonna withhold judgment until you're finished with your presentation. John C Dvorak: Now, the other thing is, you know, again, NPR went with Gaza as the reason for this, which is bogus. They could have gone with climate change, but that was a bit hard. And they weren't gonna go with wage issues or anything like that, 

    because that hurts Biden. Yeah. So they have to dream up this Gaza thing. And it was really annoying to listen to their report because I'm sure there's probably some tick tock are out there that has something to say about Gaza. But this other guy here, this is the second one, I am not gonna this is the only one I had. The other only way I'm gonna play is, again, more like the typical chick talker complaining. Unknown: Okay, so this whole trend of blocking celebrities 

    has got to be the best thing to ever happen to the internet, you're unaware of. There's currently a trend going around on tick tock and gaining a lot of popularity of people that are blocking celebrities on social media. Celebrities, such as Oprah of the rock, Kim Kardashian, the thinking behind this is that these celebrities have ascended into almost a godlike tear. In society. They're so rich, they're so famous, and they do a lot of weird stuff, and they don't give a shit about us. But if we all just go and block them and don't 

    pay any attention to them, then they lose all of their brand deals, all of their ad revenue and all of their popularity. And this trend literally just started two weeks ago, but his picked up major popularity in the last few days. And Kim Kardashian has already lost 3 million followers on Instagram. And I personally think this is awesome. I mean, these celebrities are so rich and famous. And then they go to these places like the Met Gala, which by the way costs $75,000 

    per ticket and they dress up and all this weird, demonic shit and just act like they're better than everyone else when they don't realize that we're the reason that they're famous in the first place. So now you let me know what celebrities should we do next? Should we do Taylor Swift should we do doji cat who should we do? Adam Curry: Alright, so your your ultimate conclusion here John C Dvorak: that there's a kind of a push back against these I think it's the that the portion of the public was 

    offended by the fawning bull crap about this Met Gala. And if you want to hear my overall conclusion, I think Trump's behind this whole thing. I think elements of the intelligence community have decided to pull this stunt the elements that are pushing for Trump because Trump when he was when he was offended years ago this is part of that retribution thing when he was offended years ago and not invited to the Met Gala even though he had before been invited. I think this is a 

    payback Well, Adam Curry: that's not a bad way of looking at this is. This is 100% Pathetic it's pathetic people aren't you said it percent though. I did because it's 100% Pathetic. It's pathetic people who think they make a difference to anyone's life on social media. And I'm looking at you know, authority dot social people posting all day long. And at the end of the day, wow, I really made a difference. I started a 

    conversation No, you didn't know you didn't people on X, you're there because you're being sucked into a system of pathetic pneus. That's all that it is. Please run around in circles. Post on your social networks. Post on tick tock post on Insta, no one cares. It doesn't make a difference. It's not going to change anything in the world. While the leaps crush you know, that's it. That's all that it is. Please you know X has more 

    freedom of speech but not of reach. It's the same thing with tick tock you're not gonna get you know a what you get a number millions of views. Who knows? It's probably all lies. It's probably a lie. It's just lies is just a number. You think you're doing something you think you're broadcasting something you're not? You're not it's methodic Stop it all of you. Go outside. Look at the Northern Lights. John C Dvorak: Throw a ball. Adam Curry: Just north get the Northern Lights, please. Here 

    was what what a bogus hype. This was besides beautiful pictures. You know the number of people with y2k freak outs. Whoa, whoa, the grids gonna light up on fire. The internet's down. Are we just gonna know ham bands were dead. For sure the ham bands were dead all Saturday morning, Friday evening, but around Saturday afternoon they picked up and it's good for the space weather guy. I think everyone really got a got a kick 

    out of that. I've John C Dvorak: got three clips. Okay, what you got? And I have a question, which is another one of these. What are they missing here? This is part of it. But first I'm gonna start with a minor clip. This is a quick rundown that PBS did and then I'm gonna follow it up with better stories by NPR NPR did a better job Unknown: okay. And unusually strong storms on the Sun are producing brilliant displays in the night skies here on Earth. 

    The splashes of dazzling colors known as the Northern Lights are being seen as far south as the Florida Keys across the west coast from Seattle to Southern California and in Europe from the United Kingdom to Spain. Scientists say we're in a period of peak solar activity. A large number of explosions called solar flares and coronal mass ejections are sending energized particles into space. When those particles hit Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field of vivid colorful glows produced. The spectacle is drawing people out into the night to see it and 

    photograph it. No is science Space Weather Prediction Center issued a rare and severe geomagnetic storm warning, saying power grids, GPS and high frequency radio transmissions could be affected. Sightings of the Northern Lights may be possible through the weekend and into next week, I would just like to point out that HAARP was lit up may 8 to May 10. So that may have contributed to some of the low latitudes northern lights that we're seeing second, I'd like to say I think a lot of 

    these pictures were enhanced digitally. And we're Jack Jack's up and call it yes I do. Adam Curry: Particularly the ones in hill country because I was here I was looking at it and I saw pictures from people that did not represent what I saw 30 miles up the road. John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's what I was gonna interrupt you for. Is Mimi noticed this? Because she was in Washington at the time and so she actually could go outside and see both the red and the green but when looked at through her camera phone Yes, it 

    was Jack jacked up because the these these sensors on a on a camera or phone we had San Francisco some shots of the Golden Gate Bridge showing it i i can look at my front window. It the same thing. Nice on nothing. If I would go and get I should have I got one of my Adam Curry: if I was gotten a camera cataract issue, so I mean, let's John C Dvorak: let's do any cataract I have both. Both clean, I have better their fix. I get more light through these 

    lenses I have in my eyeballs and then you do Yeah, well. Yes, true. So, but the point is, is that if I had used a sensor and just left it open for a while I would there would have been something there. So that's what you're Adam Curry: what I'm saying is that the sky the photos are better than what us? Yes, the camera, the particularly iPhones, they are enhancing things, which really is it's an interesting aspect of what we're witnessing today. With 

    photography, because the the images you see are better than the reality. They're more colorful, they're more they're more rounded. They're fuzzy. I mean, it's fake. It's fake. Our whole life online is fake. Fake fake. John C Dvorak: All right, we're talking about fake. Let's go to NPRs report on this. The strongest Unknown: solar storm and over 20 years is underway right now the way the sun is sending church particles into the Earth's 

    atmosphere that can create beautiful Aurorus it can also disrupt the power grid here on earth didn't storm has reached level G five on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scale and that's the highest level possible. Astrophysicist Regina Barbour host of NPR Science Podcast shortwave joins us now Regina, thanks for being with us. Thank you. I'm excited. Adam Curry: Well, I guess Is she a ham operator? Tell me tell me she's a ham tell homie, she's a ham shortwave. 

    John C Dvorak: That's the name of her podcast. Unknown: I am doing. John C Dvorak: She's a ham operator. She had that name for a podcast. I don't know. Unknown: Okay, thank you. I'm excited. I guess I am too old. I haven't seen it yet. What have I missed? Yeah, me neither. I was a little too south. But there's the solar storm and it arrived last night. And it gave a lot of people a pretty good show. I've been seeing images popping up on social media of people in Europe and London, Spain, even images 

    from like Florida, even as South as Alabama that saw these northern lights. My sister was sending me images from Washington State, and they're, they're gorgeous. I'm really sad. What's going on on the surface of the sun. So basically, this is happening because the sun's magnetic field, it has a magnetic field like Earth, but it goes through these like 11 year cycles. And it's approaching its solar maximum, like right now. It'll approach the maximum in 2025. And what NOAA saw, which is the National Oceanic Atmospheric 

    Administration, they saw that there were these massive sunspots, there was a group of them like a cluster of them, and they were 17 times the diameter of Earth. And the sunspots there are these cooler parts on the Sun surface, they're related to its magnetic field getting tangled up. But what happens with the sun's magnetic field, that tangling can unwind and eject stuff, suns stuff towards us, those are called coronal mass ejections, and they kind of look like these huge loop. Wow, Adam Curry: anyone anyone could have given this report. Proper 

    thanks, NPR. John C Dvorak: So that the whole thing can go Adam Curry: into the whole thing that yes, John C Dvorak: they bring in an expert who says the exact same thing but with a black female, kind of a ghetto accent. So they can make sure that we know that we are diverse, Unknown: okay. And here's Helio physicist India, Jackson, he knows loops are full of plasma that can rain down back on to the sun and are typically associated with magnetic field. 

    And then those field lines, they get twisted up and knotted up and then they break they pop. And then it spits out all of those high energy particles that hurtled towards the Earth. And we have to prepare for those things to come. And she says, sometimes these objections are accompanied by like bright flares of light on the Sun's surface. And that's what Noah saw on Wednesday, in addition to those sunspots, and that kicked off this severe geomagnetic storm, and as of now, no thinks they're like, several of these coronal mass 

    ejections that came towards Earth, Virgina, that doesn't sound very comforting. There could be some side effects, right? Yeah, so basically, these chunks of sun coming at us can disrupt the Earth's magnetic field and it can cause some problems and it creates electricity along very long power lines, it can cause this extra electricity to happen in power grids and that can kind of mess them up. So here's Jackson again. Now when it comes to the power grids, the primary concern is the 

    Geomagnetically induced currents that can cause overload circuits and that can lead to blackouts. Okay, Adam Curry: so none of this happened there were no blackouts even even I was monitoring Starlink which I have as a backup didn't go down Unknown: this sums John C Dvorak: up with this well you know that was bringing me to my point and it was never asked even if the anybody on that show 

    that you heard the multi diverse show. This was a he said this guy. This was a G five the highest level the question is and it should have been asked why didn't it blow up something as high as love this Do we have been threatened with this forever? Oh, you know what's gonna happen a big thing is gonna if it's aimed right at us, and he hits us a big giant, you know, jeweler, you were gonna knock out that power. You 

    weren't we need we need to modernize our grid. You Adam Curry: were even alluding to this a little bit on Thursday. Show it like oh, this report is important. Okay, so first of all, what this is obvious skating is the obvious certainly here in Texas. It is Mother's Day. Normally, and I've been here for 15 years. Mother's Day moms are in bikinis at the pool. It's 65 degrees. We are at the solar maximum eight came 

    early. This the weather is getting cooler, and please He's just look at the pretty colors. It's Unknown: May 2024. And the sun's about to flip its solar maximum. This is the year the sun takes center stage in a grand performance that will leave you questioning our entire existence. Recently, our star emitted an X 4.5 class solar flare, one of the largest flares of this solar cycle. They have the capability of impacting satellite communications, and 

    even our power grids here on Earth. The sun is ramping up its activity expected to reach a solar maximum before the end of 2024. That's a year earlier than anticipated. During this peak, we'll see more sunspots more solar flares, and yes more coronal mass ejections. It's a busy time for our Sun. In 2024, the sun's magnetic poles are set to flip this event, which happens approximately every 11 years can intensify solar storms. And paint beautiful Aurora is even at lower latitudes, and 

    Adam Curry: we're going into 11 years of colder weather. Please look at the pretty colors. Please don't discuss the temperature in Texas, please. What's it like? Where you are? John? Is it normal? Is it kind of the same for this? Yeah, John C Dvorak: I would say for three days. We had a nice summer. It was 88. Here two days ago, that's today. It's today's cold. What? Adam Curry: Isn't that warm for your neck? Eight. Yeah, for? 

    John C Dvorak: Well, for me, we get it we get the 80s. And then it cools off and then it gets freezing by July. But it's right now because we had three hot days of fog rolled in, it's cold. So pretty tough. It's not a typical out here. I think that generally speaking, it's been cooler. I think it is cooler. Of Adam Curry: course it's cooler. And I've been tracking this since I was 15 years old because I had a CB with single sideband. And we'd snip the diode so you could slip into the 10 meter 

    band. And I'd be talking on 12 Watts p p to Ohio from the Netherlands. And that was at that time was the height of the solar cycle. That's where I learned about it. That's where I learned about the ionosphere and skip John C Dvorak: right yeah, on a sphere bounce. Yeah. And so these Adam Curry: pictures I have a feeling that it's possible that they flipped on harp to give us pretty pictures it was on you know this is not disputed. From May 8 to May 10. They flipped on 

    harp to give us pretty pictures of course they're very paid pretty because of the phony sensors that make everything look more beautiful. Your life is better thank you apple. And so pay just pay attention to that pretty colors and be worried about stuff going down the fact that nothing went down and and coronal mass ejections. They're real them in 1972. I want to say Hawaii, phone, phone, telephone poles were on fire. It really did happen. 

    John C Dvorak: Well, there was also some period earlier in the 1800s telegraph system of the country. Yeah, that was why it seems to me that with this reporting, you had a G five we I liked the way they always make five the topics with tornadoes, storms and hurricanes. Yeah. So this is the same thing. It's Adam Curry: a G five the Mac, but nothing happens. John C Dvorak: But nothing got blowed up. Adam Curry: So who measures this? And how do they measure that? What's the main measuring system? Who 

    John C Dvorak: is a good question? I haven't. I don't know. You shouldn't we should look into this. I'll bet you it's a miss. Yes. The way I see it. Yes. Something should have blowed up. Adam Curry: Yeah. Very disappointing. Very, very disappointing. Nothing blowed up with that was the great Carrington event that was in the 1800s. But there was another one. I know I was in the in the early 70s and was right over Hawaii, and then they had fires and all kinds of stuff starting up as well. I remember in 1990 Wow. I'm gonna say 96 Maybe 

    9097. Direct TV was off the air for three weeks because of a sun mass coronal ejections event. John C Dvorak: Remember this though? I Adam Curry: do. I had DirecTV at the time when I was in New York. And it was at the time I was running my company which was listed publicly on NASDAQ. That's why I remember this so well because I couldn't watch CNBC which was important at the time with Mark who died mark in in the in the CNN girl, what's 

    her name? Aaron Aaron Bernat. Erin Burnett. That was that was your stuff. That was your morning fare and boom, it was gone. We didn't have cable in New York. Didn't have didn't have all that cool stuff. You got it on DirecTV. John C Dvorak: Now, they had cable in New York, not not in the Adam Curry: in our building. We didn't have that bill. I like the expanse The cable no we didn't have that. So yes I think that that we've been duped and and someone needs to John C Dvorak: account to do so we've always we've just said 

    what the show is about someone needs Adam Curry: today someone needs to account for how come and nothing went down but yet all these pictures were pretty and who does these measurements is that no a bitches Noah who also let's let's remember that Noah changed the the the earthquake scale on us to make everything look much worse. Remember it went from the Richter scale to the momentum scale? John C Dvorak: Well, the Richter scale was what was used when I 

    was a kid into just so I don't know what 10 years ago when they changed it to this bull crap. Yeah, you know how much was shaken in the report and it was like make up some numbers Adam Curry: like a seven you'd all be dead like a salmon like California broke off into the ocean. But now a seven is was what used to be a two. Well, no. Yes, yes. John C Dvorak: Yes. So it used to be a two you couldn't feel at all and you can feel a seven we need Adam Curry: the no agenda fear scale is what we need. So it's a 

    nine on the fear scale. Anyway, the only people that still care about climate change and are protesting are the farmers Polish Unknown: farmers chanting green Terra personal of underline. 1000s are rallying against EU environmental regulations. They say a hurting the Polish economy. Now, they calling for a referendum. That's why we're here because what Brussels is offering us the Green Deal is not a Green Deal. It's a red deal. The only thing it's good for is throwing in the European Union's Green Deal is an ambitious commitment to 

    achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Making the block the first Climate Neutral continent but Poland's trade unions say it's unfair for workers and will raise the cost of each government is signing the climate agreement first. Now the implementation of the green to no matter the political outcome. After the EU Parliament elections, polls will see significant raises in the energy and food costs will affect the lives of the poles. Some protesters also condemned Ukrainian farm imports that they 

    say are undermining their revenues. Adam Curry: Tao is good good on the farmers in Europe, they're still trying. They're still trying to wake people up to say, hey, you know we're going away. This is not going to end well for you with your Green Deal for the green, new green New Deal. And here in America, you know, they're much more sophisticated. They don't say like we're gonna get rid of farmers. No, we just tell everybody you've got bird flu. Unknown: There are new fears in this country about the potential 

    impact of the h five and one bird flu on humans after first jumped to dairy cows back in March. The virus is now spread among dairy cattle across nine different states, a Texas worker develop mild symptoms of the disease. We're happy to say they've recovered. Our CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT That's Dr. John Lucas has been speaking with the experts and joins us now John, a lot of people getting worried. So glad you're here, man. Good morning, Gail. Adam Curry: There's no evidence of a lot of people getting worried. Public 

    Unknown: health officials are closely monitoring for any signs, h five n one is mutating into a form that could spread from human to human. There's no evidence that has happened yet. But the outbreak has raised questions about our ability to do enough testing to understand how widely the infection is spread out. Keep in mind it's tough to coordinate efforts with so many groups involved including the CDC, the FDA, dairy and cattle industry, and more. So why the concern about a possible jump to humans, I spoke to one of the top bird flu 

    experts, Dr. Jerry Parker, a veterinarian at Texas a&m. And he told me he never envisioned a scenario where the virus would make the jump to cows. That was something nobody imagined. I didn't I have to admit that. And I don't think our colleagues at the National State level did and they should have who we fundamentally did not have a response plan and playbook for how to deal with h five n one hitting dairy cattle. And I think that's slowed our response. And it's caused 

    confusion. Adam Curry: I find this first of all, every rancher who I'm in contact with with said This is bull crap, this is a hoax. It's not true. This this bird flew in the dairy cows is there like no. And how can we know here any of this in Wisconsin? It's only Texas, only Texas cows boats in eight states but let's only focus on Texas. Why? Because Texas Beef can feed the nation. We've got to get rid of it. And how do we do it? We go to the testing industrial complex. 

    Unknown: One big fear is that a pig or some other animal could become infected with both the human and bird flu and that could cause a mixing of genes that produces a new virus capable of spreading easily from human to human epidemiologist Dr. Larry Brilliant has worked in public health since helping to eradicate smallpox in the 1970s. I asked him, Is there enough testing going on to find out how widely bird flu has already spread? Break Adam Curry: out your PCR? Everybody Unknown: know, it should activate every surveillance system that would help them find out which animals are sick. They 

    should use wastewater, they should be checking water in villages of ships and villages of airplanes. And here's a good reason to do it. We have antivirals. We have treatments, we can make a vaccine very quickly. Adam Curry: Wastewater testing, John wastewater testing. There it is. We've been waiting for it wastewater testing. And of course the particularly in Texas, the ranch is like no, no, no, you're no, no, you're not coming on my ranch and not testing anything. They're going to start testing wastewater 

    downstream, but they have a they have an idea that might change some ranchers minds, nothing Unknown: we just heard there is very comforting to me what's being done to increase the testing? You know, it turns out that poultry farmers are reimbursed for financial loss related to bird flu, there's an insurance policy that's not true with cattle ranchers. And in addition to that, there are a variety of reasons why people working there, various workers may not want to get tested. So I've heard that the USDA and the CDC are working on a plan to incentivize more testing 

    Adam Curry: something to pay people for testing but in there at the beginning was really was really the real trick is they're going to expand compensation for ranchers. If we detect bird flu, we're going to call your herd but you get paid for it. That there here's John C Dvorak: the deal. So was this question asked with these clips or yours? Did somebody say hey, if they have bird flu today dropped dead like any like the typically happens with people they get bird flu, they die, the birds die, what happens to the 

    cows or they die or they're just floating around like Typhoid Mary? Well, Adam Curry: the last clip is titled, How worried should we be? Unknown: So How worried should we be right now? Right now as it were, last night, the CDC told me and they gave me the latest. Unless you're in close contact with potentially infected animals, or you're drinking unpasteurized milk. Oh, there it is. The risk to you right now is very low. But remember, things can change. We've learned unfortunately, 

    from the pandemic, I know this pandemic quickly, especially with virus Adam Curry: right now they could change on a dime right now they Unknown: can mutate that can change we've seen that happen. And that is why there's such concern among public health officials and others and why the CDC and others are really trying to stay on top of Yeah, because first it was just one and now it's moved to nine states and it just seems like it can turn on a dime but only do you get worried John C Dvorak: get them off the air these people she literally Adam Curry: said on a dime, just 

    Unknown: one analysis here at nine states and it just seems like it can turn on a dime but only I'm wondering at what point do you get worried you're saying Don't worry, I'll tell you I'll tell you what the worry would be if it changes in mutations genetic composition so that it can spread easily from human to human right now there's been no evidence it's no evidence of that. Wild infection you have conjunctivitis he was given Tamiflu he recovered but that's what people are looking for. And we don't want it to happen without us realizing you know if you do this you know you don't know what's going on. You got to 

    do this is a what is going on? Where is it? How widely is it spread? Adam Curry: This is this is this is a setup. And it's not for vaccines. It's a setup to call the herd John C Dvorak: No, I have I have a series of clips on this. Okay. I'm Bradley combines it's a little more elaborate. It combines all kinds of things instead of just worrying about one, h five n one. There's new variants of COVID is measles. This is PBS This is COVID h five anyone concerned four years 

    Unknown: after the start of the pandemic hospitalizations for COVID are at an all time low. There are new variants Jack and bird flu is in the headlines. It's been found in at least 36 dairy herds across nine states. But so far this year there's only been one confirmed human case. So how concerned should we be about all this? John C Dvorak: Oh my god so I got cut chop this up. Yeah, Adam Curry: I'm glad you I'm glad you chopped it chopped it. So John C Dvorak: this is this also sweetened by the way. So this is 

    there's the hospital. This is that presentation style. I like to deconstruct where you were, which was good news but presented in a bad way. hospitalizations are down what are we going to do arrest ever The lowest is the lowest should we be concerned? I mean how how obvious can this be but when you hear it the way he presents it it sounds like bad you Adam Curry: know we're missing breaking, breaking 

    John C Dvorak: hurt so let's go to to Unknown: Caitlyn Jenner Lena writes the popular newsletter, your local epidemiologist and she was just named is that a popular newsletter? I mean, seriously is your local epidemiologist is that a popular newsletter John C Dvorak: play from the beginning again, because it's actually better. Adam Curry: Caitlyn Jenner Lena writes the popular newsletter, your local epidemiologist, and she was just named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in health. So Caitlin, how concerned should we be about bird flu? Oh, man, you gave this 

    to me to put in the show notes. Yes, it's in the show notes and I did it is this is time times 100 Most Influential People in health such which includes luminaries such as Scott O'Neill, mosquito engineer Rory Collins democratized health data. John Leonard, genetic editor, Dora Shomi, aka supporting Ukraine, most important person in health. This 

    John C Dvorak: is Yes, supporting Ukraine. This is vec mercy. He's at the top of the list and we also have McCrone Adam Curry: he's a titan Titan Vivek Murthy. He's a Titan, a titan John C Dvorak: Atisha we also have a manual McCrone who says the title was a powerful message and we have Jimmy Carter determined health hero Yeah. You got Berlei like only Adam Curry: like Halle Berry a voice for menopause. Come on. Yeah. Well, this is great. John Fetterman. destigmatizing 

    idiocy, I'm sorry disability. John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah, he's important. First influencer? Yes. So here's who's not on the list. This is a bogus list. But I got I just It's typical. And we've talked about this in the show for years. Because I've been in these meetings. You sit down and you started listing people and you put it together and both these are both by Adam Curry: the way. Oh, by the way. Hotep Peter Hotez Hotep. Yes. Science warrior. 

    John C Dvorak: Yeah. So we have RFK is not on the list who wrote a book, and it seems to be pretty important because he does a lot of lawsuits and the rest of besides the brain worm. Fauci is not on the list. No, that no, kind of a shocker. No, no works is not on the list. But then you have people who are true influencers, like Peter Macola. Not on the list. No, no, no words people like even Sherry Tenpenny. I would put her on the list and the frontline dog. How about Burke's Berkshire? Not on 

    the list. But who's the big superstar at not on the list? The guy who should be on the list, probably the most influential of all these people. Unknown: Bill Gates. John C Dvorak: Exactly. Why isn't Bill Gates on the list? Unknown: That's a do it. That is a great question. John C Dvorak: It is a great question. I Unknown: know the answer. Okay. What's the answer? 

    John C Dvorak: Who does Time Magazine currently owned by? Unknown: I should know this. I don't know. Who John C Dvorak: who runs Salesforce. Adam Curry: Oh, is that? Yeah. The Bennett off in Benioff? Yeah. He hates John C Dvorak: granny off comes from there, Larry Ellison School of Management, because he came right out of Oracle. And the idea there is to hate Bill Unknown: Gates. That's not a bad idea. John C Dvorak: And so they hate Bill Gates based on their 

    thesis. I mean, Ellison has always had a beef with gays. And so Benioff won't put gates on this list. And that's the simple thing. AND gates is the number one guy he's got the money the influence, and he's talking a big game all the time. And he's not on the list. Give me a break. Yeah, we need but this newsletter woman is Adam Curry: Yeah, well, she's very influential, very popular newsletter. John C Dvorak: She's more popular than Bill Gates, okay. To this in his side that needed to be done. Well done, sir. 

    Okay, let's move on. Now we get some sunlight into the meat of this Unknown: clip three. Yeah, you know, what's clear is that this is continuing to spread among cows and other animals. But the risk to the general public is very low. And this really means there's nothing we can do. Other than don't touch dead birds or animals. Don't drink raw milk. Can maybe even call your congressman for better bye security support, oh, this is definitely not March of 2020. And it's definitely not even 

    January of 2020. But of course, this situation can change and usually without breaks, it can change very quickly. I think that alarm bells for the general public should really start going off if we start seeing human to human spread. Right now, it's really an all hands on deck response for public health to prevent another pandemic. And staying laser focused on protecting the small group of Americans that are are at higher risk, and that is dairy and poultry workers right now. So it's got a lot of people's attentions was the report that 

    the FDA had found dead viral fragments in milk Milk bought at grocery stores? That sounds pretty scary. How concerned should people be about that? It is scary and it does sound scary. But I calmed down when I knew that we have over 100 years of data on the effectiveness of pasteurization. Also, just to confirm that the pasteurization was working, the FDA tried to grow active virus from these pasteurized milk samples from grocery stores. And the 

    experiments failed which is actually a good thing because that means these viral fragments were broken pieces that just could not replicate and thus cannot harm as humans since those studies have been done on the milk. They've also tested other milk products like cottage cheese and sour cream, and those are safe as well as beef in grocery stores is also safe to consume. I Adam Curry: will say that I'm not always a fan of your sweetening these are spot on this is well done this is right 

    in the sweet spot where John C Dvorak: you'll fight you'll be annoyed later this is an attack on raw milk in the raw milk industry is no doubt about it. They've been trying to do this I was talking to me about this we have a raw milk dairy up north and we drink it constantly delicious, by the way. But the problem is with raw milk the you have to keep the batches separate you have to do this the cows can eat chicken shit they it's just a whole process. The dairies are super clean, they have to be maintained it's hard 

    to do and the inspections to do if you want to if you were a government inspector having to inspect a raw milk there it's a pain in the ass. It's too much work can Adam Curry: I just say it is also an attack on raw milk this whole thing is not only to attack raw milk I don't believe that I think it's I John C Dvorak: you might be right and could I can tell you this day raw milk is a is a bugaboo they hate it. They don't like to have it in the market. They don't want it you know, why 

    Adam Curry: don't you you know why? It'll help you live a healthy life. Die you slave. John C Dvorak: It's more along my it's more along the lines of my shit in meat thinking, which is the the reason we don't use gamma radiation in this country to sterilize products, which is the way to go. It's even for milk, it'd be better than pasteurization, which cooks the milk, gamma radiation. And 

    everyone kind of subtly knows this. But gamma and aerosol, it's radiation. No, it's gamma radiation, which is a sterilization mechanism is used in Europe a lot. And you could take and run all your beef through it just a big machine and just go right through it. And it would take care of E. coli, which is a deadly bacteria. If it's the bad E. coli that gets in your system, if you eat it because of an undercooked meat. You wouldn't have to worry about it ever. But everybody knows what would happen. dog shit would be in the 

    meat and they just sterilize everything and it's fine and dandy. You're not going to get sick from it, but you'd be eaten crap. And that's what would happen. And this is the same thing with these super clean raw milk dairies. We don't you know, it's like, oh, God, Adam Curry: I gotta I got news for you. There's no money in this. We've debased the money since 1971. So your food has to be debased as well. Everything has to be chemicals and saw dust. That's where the glowing saw does. Yes, yes. 

    petrochemicals and saw dust is now food is like no, get rid of food. Unknown: Yep. For I think the bottom line here is just do not drink unpasteurized milk. It can make you very sick, especially at this time. John C Dvorak: All right. Thanks, lady. Yeah, it can make you very sick, especially at this time, Unknown: at this hour. At this hour, so don't drink at this hour. John C Dvorak: This woman is asking should be stronger. Five. 

    Unknown: So that's bird flu. Let's talk about COVID Tell us about these new variants that have the intriguing nickname flirt. Yeah. So we No is that COVID continues to mutate Right? Right. Right? Right, this viruses do, right? The latest ingredients greatest variant is Omicron. But with very small changes, right? These flirt variants have only two additional mutations on the spike protein. This is compared to about 50 changes that we saw with the AMO, huge Omicron wave back in 2021. So just with two 

    small changes, we know that this isn't going to cause a tsunami of infection. It's just not different enough than previous ones. The question is whether it will cause a wave a wavelet, or nothing. And unfortunately, time will just tell. So only two mutations, does that mean that the if you got a booster last fall, or since last fall, that would take care of it that those variants would not be able to get around that booster. If you're up to date on your COVID-19 vaccine, which for the 

    majority of people means a fall vaccine, some are eligible for a spring vaccine. ILLEGIBLE. And yeah, it's not a perfect match, but it will certainly help against severe disease and death. Because this has mutated a little that may mean we will see a little more infections then before, but you are a very well protected against severe disease. If you're up to date. There's the COVID vaccine gonna continue to be reformulated and keep up with these variants and sort of almost like the annual 

    flu, they have to figure out what the dominant strain is gonna be. Yeah, that's exactly right. It looks like we're moving towards a flu model. Right? Right. Right. Right. So we're COVID-19 vaccines will be updated every year to match as best as possible. The circulating strain. John C Dvorak: Study Finds This is on believable on Adam Curry: study finds, quote, significant increase in cancer mortality after a third COVID dose. But you said, but you sent 

    me that's a study that just came out, but you sent me another link, which I think people should also read in the show notes under the big pharma heading. How much damage have vaccines done to society, which is i which is substack. But a very good article about vaccines in general. They've just always, yeah, there's just always been a crap product. They kill people, all of them. Yeah. Am I paraphrasing that correctly? John C Dvorak: You're not too far off. Yeah. Adam Curry: But even the smallpox vaccine, of course 

    started smallpox epidemics. The John C Dvorak: Yeah, we say yeah, there's something fishy about some of this stuff I have to say. All right. So I think we're on to our last clip as they go on and on about the vaccines and as you get more shots, Adam Curry: I'm very tired now. I'm fatiguing. Well, John C Dvorak: okay with good because we have a change of subject go measles. Unknown: There was a global surgery measles. There was some talk earlier that the United States was worried about what was going to happen here. What is happening with measles here 

    in the United States? Yeah, I mean, measles is coming in hot this year coming in. And while the US has a small number of cases, right, 132 cases across 21 states, it's still more than double than we had last year. I think the biggest problem with this is we're giving measles opportunity to spark more right with more embers because fewer people are getting vaccinated. And the challenge and problem with this is it just increases the probability of a spark 

    finding a really large unvaccinated pocket and spreading like wildfire. So we were really wanting to reduce these embers as much as possible right now. Adam Curry: Ladies and gentlemen, the comedic stylings from the one and only Mr. John C. DeVore. I am very pleased with that and I gotta tell you, I'm just going to now from this day on going to become a devout anti Vaxxer I'm not going to waffle and say I won't say vaccines now. I think they're 

    all dumb. They're all probably bad you know, kept your kid out of school don't put your kid in the schools let all those Vax kids sit in there. I'm just against it now. This makes no and I seriously I see no benefit. There are many people in hill country with college degrees. Who are doing like now not vaccinating my kid. That's okay. Thanks. They get nothing. Not not not even the like the basics. Nothing. Unknown: You know what? Kids seem pretty smart. Run around 

    like normal kids. Having a good time. John C Dvorak: They're gonna get measles. Adam Curry: They should they should get measles. Wow. John C Dvorak: I found that whole piece to be just a promotion from all for every which way, anti pest anti raw milk pro docsvault Next Vax, you know, and you need another one, you might be elegibles and says, allege a spring vaccine Adam Curry: spring vaccine, everybody who would go read that 

    article, that article in the show notes about the history of vaccinations. Wow. John C Dvorak: It goes back to the 1700s. Curiously, yes, I didn't realize that the smallpox vaccine was in the late 1700s. That's how it was luring Adam Curry: Catherine the Great Catherine the Great was credited with a lot of that. But of course, the more sane people will say, you know, we got indoor plumbing, and we got, you know, hygiene and we figured out we should bathe and, and that 

    seemed to help a lot. John C Dvorak: There used to be a period in the Middle Ages where people would never they thought it was the devil's work to bathe. Adam Curry: You know, when when? Really? John C Dvorak: Yeah, when was it there's a there's a, there's stories about the bathing situation. In the footnotes of Toynbee is a study of history. There's a bunch of stories about the craziness that went on during these eras. When Adam Curry: I was reading this, this article, it dawned on me that when we moved to the Netherlands, there was a whole 

    bunch of vaccinations the family had to take back in the day, that was the thing you know, especially and I think a lot of it was just, oh, you're going to Europe all you better get all these vaccinations going to Europe die. And you know, when my Tourette started when I was seven years old when we were in the Netherlands, after all those vaccinations, I think I'm vaccine injured. John C Dvorak: I didn't have to know that's possible. Adam Curry: I think it's that's what hit me when I'm reading this. Like, hey, wait a minute. That's 

    John C Dvorak: interesting. That's an interesting insight that is especially you never had it before seven No, Adam Curry: no. And, and they and they went to all kinds of tests and sensors and brains. My parents were very concerned. What is wrong with that kid? And that was bad back then. I mean, I was like, a jerk in my head all over the place. John C Dvorak: Yeah, like remember the girls in the early HPV vaccines? And all these issues? Adam Curry: Yep. Yep. But I think I was permanently Vax 

    injured. John C Dvorak: I think you might be right yes, I Adam Curry: want compensation. Well, John C Dvorak: who you're gonna get it from Good luck Unknown: thanks I'm a little depressed about that. We're John C Dvorak: sorry to give you 10 grand say Adam Curry: in the morning to you the man who put the seat in the CME ladies gentlemen say hello to my friend on the other end the one and only Mr. Insert sound effect here John. John C Dvorak: See boots in the ground feet in the air subs in 

    the water and all the games or nights out there in the morning Adam Curry: okay, we've counted him couple, I think a couple of got away. So the best count I have is 1943 which is a tad lower about 23 lower than last Sunday. But we also tad later so 1943 These trolls by the way are hanging out in the troll room, which is a place you can it's it's where everybody knows your 

    name. You can go to the troll room at troll room.io You can log in there and listen to the live stream which is no agenda stream no agenda stream.com Or you can do both with a modern podcast app which will also alert you when we go live on Thursdays and Sundays. And also many other shows. Because the trolls that troll room, no agenda stream. It's it's 24/7 and there's tons of live stuff that happens so you can get an alert like when that Larry you know what's what's it unrelenting with Gene and Darren or what's the rage planet rage? 

    I mean, these are all shows that you can subscribe to and then even if you if you're like I'm in a meeting I can't listen to them live. The modern podcast apps will alert you within 90 seconds of publishing the podcast so podcast apps.com And I would like to lose it take for Apple to do that. Oh of anywhere between 20 minutes and three hours. Wow. Yeah. And and they spend an enormous amount of resources polling all of these feeds. I mean, it's very ungreen of them. Very young even Yeah, being the new 

    John C Dvorak: I like ungreen really using it Adam Curry: is very ungreen of them bringing it on green. Now we don't have ads on this show which is obvious to you which is why I just declared myself an anti Vaxxer that would have been a non starter for any done done. There'll be no advertising ever again on the show. That's right. I like it when you do that just That's right. That's right curry just That's John C Dvorak: right curry. So we are right on the money curry 

    you're nailing it. So we Adam Curry: ended up We determined we coined a concept a long time ago. And it was interesting. You know, I often go on several top brand top notch podcasts like the Megyn Kelly podcast. And with such luminaries I'm not the only celebrity and star goes on a podcast like that Roseanne Barr was on the Megyn Kelly show. And she was talking about money and the world and Roseanne is a little a little out there. Sometimes. I want to play this one minute clip just to get us 

    into the mood. Unknown: There isn't like just a few families that should own everything in the world. There isn't. That's true. And again, and they're so stupid, like you said, luckily, they are stupid, because arrogance always accompanies ignorance. That's what Torah says. They're always the same two sides of the same coin. And they undo each other, let's hope and so their arrogance is such that they've actually made with their greed and their whatever they do in their bubbles, and they're 

    bursting bubbles and making more bubbles in their scams and fraud. They've actually made money obsolete and it's worthless. Now, that's just that's my optimistic sign of the future because that is the dream of the end of debt slavery that's leaving Egypt. That is the dream of humanity. It's so great and it's crumbling. And they're being exposed, and it will be replaced with a better system that works for human 

    beings, all human beings, and it'll come from us and our intelligence, because we have the will and the means and all the technology to do that. Without money but with something else, value for value. John C Dvorak: is real. It's like a shaggy dog story. Shaggy Adam Curry: Dog clip. Yes, we have we have seeped into Roseanne Barr's brain, she didn't get that just out of the ether. Because this concept has gone broad has gone deep. 

    Everyone's talking about it. It is the only way forward for me. Yes, everyone was talking about I was talking about value for value. You know that you say oh, you're begging for money or I'm just gonna tip you know, now it's now it's it's value for value. People are onto it. They're getting it. We're pioneers John, we're leaving. We're leading a revolution. Now we have many ways that you can contribute to this program. One is by helping us lower costs for things we could never afford anyway, such as new art. There's no way we could afford artists 

    to be doing spec art for every single episode. No, but that's why we have many of the great Dutch masters at work. And and from other countries, but the Dutch masters they really seem to be yet to be nailing it. And once again, one of our artists gave us the artwork for Episode 1658, the title that was saving, and the great Dutch Grandmaster networks gave us the artwork for 

    that. This was the game debt jubilee, very controversial, this choice, because I didn't like it. And John was like, Who would want it but we both have a bone to pick with Darren O'Neill, also known as pre show guy, because he had the right idea. We were talking to John C Dvorak: us. Yes, Darren had the winning art piece. Both of us thought right away. But Darren, you screwed it up. He 

    screwed Adam Curry: T choke. He had joked he had a car with a generator on the back. It was well done. But it wasn't a Tesla. It didn't even look like an electric vehicle. It look more like a Porsche or something. It was the you can John C Dvorak: call it a Porsche. It looks like a kind of a toy is silica and that is silica. But it was not a test. There is a Toyota that looks kinda like it Adam Curry: wasn't a Tesla. It was so everything was perfect about this piece of art. But he blew it he choked. I don't 

    John C Dvorak: understand what what he was thinking. Yes. Adam Curry: I mean, he's he's not a Dutch master. That's probably the issue. Well, John C Dvorak: I mean, he's he's one of the leading artists that historically Yeah, for getting stuff in because he's always comes up with good ideas being kicked out of the ground, but this was a botch. I Adam Curry: mean, it was yes, a bunch. That's what Now I personally like to Bill Walsh's brain worm which was a hilarious hilarious brain worm and you made a point you said no. I 

    don't want creepy art ever. John C Dvorak: Why do I have said that? None of that voice that's one of your other characters. I think that was very close with the thing I don't understand why you liked this piece because the under crackpot and buzzkill is TOS Adam curry and John C. Dvorak choose Not when is your main complaint when you Adam Curry: said that? I said you're right. I said you're right. You're right, you're right. And then we just looked and just I don't want anything with devils, which I kind of agree with then Allah we had a lot of Eurovision with devil, no 

    brains. I could have gone with the brain worm, but I accepted the sugar kills Africans, we saw some problems with that. John C Dvorak: As Africans was probably our was up for discussion, that's for Adam Curry: sure. We're like, we really can't do this. Can we? No, John C Dvorak: no, we decided against default so networks piece is what you're trying to say as far as the for Batum. Piece by piece. You kind of agreed to it in with 

    protestation. Yes. And I would say and because and then you said, dead Jubilee. Nobody even knows what that means. Even though you're the one that discussed it on the show. Adam Curry: Yeah, but when you look see, you have to understand. I believe the art needs to entice people to go listen to the to the show. I see this I'd be like Unknown: I don't want to listen to that show. John C Dvorak: That's just we'll use your so you think the 

    smiling worm Yes. It's going to entice people to listen to the show. In different cases, our Adam Curry: names were bigger than I would have pushed for that very hard. I would have called a I would have called an audible. The end comics your blog or you can stop putting the black baby eating sugar. In Me. This is the fourth time he's brought this back. It's not going to get chosen. The N N and anyone doing Trump? AI is Stormy Daniels. No, no, please, please, 

    people. I'm worried I'm worried about today's art already. I'm worried about just nice Mother's Day art. But John C Dvorak: yeah, we knew today's art will be picked. Yeah, because there's a Mother's Day Special. Yes, we'd love to have a Mother's Day themes. Yeah. So come up with something creative. That has something to do with Mother's Day, we just put Mother's Day in a nice pot of flowers, what Unknown: a concept. Adam Curry: So that's our talent and time portion of the three T's time, talent and treasure. And now we would like to thank what we'd like to thank our executive and Associate 

    Executive producers. These are the people who we think at the beginning of the show doesn't mean that they're extra special. This is just the way Hollywood operates. You get an executive producer or Associate Executive Producer title, that credit risks and they're good for your lifetime. Once you start off, John with Sir Kevin deals, so I'll give you a solid. I'll read the long one. That's next. John C Dvorak: Yes, in the bed, Jay made mention that the long run needs to be read in its entirety. I know. Sir Kevin deal starts us off at the Huntersville North Carolina to 

    fiver and $12. And we haven't heard from him for a while. No, it's good. I in the morning is my annual Oh, that's why it's his annual annual birthday donation I'll be turning 38 on show day may 12. Please add me to the birthday list. You are on it. No jingles just karma. Thank you for your cursor. Kevin deals. Duke Duke I say of North Carolina. Adam Curry: Thank you very much, sir Kevin. You've got karma. All right. Then we move to the suit and tie guy from Illinois and 

    this is 339 11. And he starts off with a Mother's Day remembrance. He says this is a Mother's Day donation the amount of 33 333 Why she says 33911 in honor of my own mother Sarah, who died last year. I'm sorry if this is long, but I have not typed publicly about her death until now. And so we will share this since this is a big big thing for you. One year ago was last time we did anything nice. That's him and his mom and 

    things were normal. I drove her to Chicago so she get a new passport for a cruise a couple of weeks later she came back from the cruise not feeling well spent that summer in and out of hospital and died in September. On the drive. I was able to play your show to her for the first time. We didn't really talk about your show but she was teaching me media deconstruction before you were. I grew up in a household where we all knew industrial news media lied all the time. She spent over 20 years with State and National PTA and leadership and convention planning roles. I'm going to include a photo of her 

    and Rod Blagojevich for proof that she was a mover and a shaker. After she retired from PTA we started the world's only synthesizer convention together. It's you. I think you had a cool mom brother. It was called knob con now in its 12th year it was her event and I intend on keeping it going until I follow her into whatever comes next. Hey Sir Mark Hall, knob calm. He's a synthesizer nut. I love it. She would want me to mention this. She had a very and cancer five years ago and went through 

    surgery and chemotherapy and was in total remission until after the fake vaccine and her numbers went back up afterwards she blamed this on the fake vaccine. And while yes, she did have cancer, she developed a series of blood clots towards the end and that actually killed her. And what actually killed her out was a blood clot while she was recovering from a second cancer surgery which had actually gone pretty well. We will never know if that clot was caused by the cancer or the fake vaccine but I would like to know what life for her would have been like without 

    the scam demic you sense a theme on the show any no agenda and joiners into electronic music who heard this and want to come to knob con for free should email me and mentioned this episode and my mother's name contact is knob con que no been SEO a knob con.com at at Sutan assets knob comm.com at suit and tie guy.com There you go and that's he did not ask for any 

    jingles or anything but we did read that for him and we will be remembering your mom and I love that she started knob calm John C Dvorak: Where is not on?

    producer become a producer Unknown: yes okay. John C Dvorak: How much some Gaza report okay so depressed to get a summary it's a some resources we can get. Do we don't have nothing else after that. Adam Curry: It would be perfect. Now that's we're never gonna get away with that. Is this your PBS report? John C Dvorak: Yeah, in Unknown: Gaza. 10s of 1000s of Palestinians are being forced to flee again. The Israeli military has issued new and expanded 

    evacuation orders amid signs that it's preparing to move into densely populated central Raffa. About a third of Rafah has been evacuated. That's more than 300,000 people at all. Many of them have already been moving several times in the past seven months as they fled Israeli air bombardment. This time they're being told to go to what the Israeli military is calling an expanded humanitarian area along the Mediterranean coast north of Rapa. Salud, manages, weavers received a call from the army a recorded call asking us to 

    evacuate the area we are in. We're preparing to go to awasi because they said it is a humanitarian area but We do not know whether to go. I don't think it will be a safe area. Because the Israeli army does not have a safe area in Gaza. They target everything. And central Gaza overnight airstrikes killed at least 19 people 16 of them women and children. The UN warns that a full scale Rafa invasion would further cripple humanitarian deliveries of much needed food, water and fuel. Yeah, there's a 

    couple other things that that we need to discuss. One of them is Adam Curry: this report that we got on Thursday that Netanyahu specifically calling out Netanyahu had ignored the ceasefire agreement that supposedly Hamas had agreed to. And luckily, one of our trolls said, Oh, no, no, no, that's fake. And this is, unfortunately, this is always 

    the issue is people like to post on social media that we suck, and we and we no good you don't deconstruct, right. They forget that you're a producer. And you need to send us stuff. So we can do something with it. Just listening and saying you suck is not helpful. You suck. I mean, we're just dudes who are just trying to pull everything together. We do our best. And so I finally got a little more detail on what actually happened now take into account this is from The Times of Israel 

    podcast. But it sounds like probably this is what happened. Unknown: I must have not come back with some kind of Yes. Or two paragraphs saying, Yeah, we can live with this to the greenlit by Israel proposal that was conveyed to them at the end of last month. That's what they said they did. They said we have accepted the ceasefire proposal, but they didn't they issued a fairly lengthy document of their own. This offer is a duplicitous and deceitful offer that will not bring home, most of the hostages, most of the hostages. The way that Hamas has built 

    this will be retained with Hamas, having made all the gains that it wants to make all the conceivable gains. And what do I mean by that, I'll just give one very small example. They say that the first the first of all, they state that not all the 33 hostages to be released in the first phase will be alive, then state that the first to be released will be women, including female soldiers, right, in return for women and female soldiers. And notice Adam Curry: what they said that most of them probably are not alive, which is what we've been saying all along, they Unknown: are asking for essentially 50 Palestinian 

    security prisoners to be released for each of the female soldiers of whom there are believed to be five. And of those 50 Security prisoners. They want 30 of them to be people serving life terms, they removed Israel's demand for a veto on which security prisoners are released, they say they will choose the prisoners. And then when you start to look at that, and by the way, they're only going to release the first set of prisoners on the third day, and the next three prisoners then and the next three a week later. Basically, in those first 

    two releases, they can secure the freedom of 150. It's more complicated than that, but at least 150 Palestinian security prisoners doing life terms. And there's Adam Curry: another two minutes of explanation, which I'm not going to bore everybody with it will be a clip in the show notes, we always publish all of our clips, so you can take a listen to that. It just goes on and on and on. So it doesn't seem like it was exactly as portrayed in some of the media. Now let's go to the United Nations and all of the media. 

    Let's go to the United Nations, where we are working very hard on a two state solution, which is pretty much what everybody wants, except for Israel. This is certainly Unknown: a boost for the Palestinians because it shows a flood of international support for them. The resolution essentially upgrades their rights here at the United Nations, but it doesn't give them full UN membership. The US vetoed that initiative last month in the UN Security Council. This General Assembly Resolution determines a state of Palestine Palestine is qualified for membership. And it gives the 

    Palestinians the right to propose agenda items to speak in debates and to speak on all issues not just those related to the Palestinians it also it gives them the right to be elected as officers in the assemblies main committees. It does not however, give them the right to vote here at the UN. So essentially, it's symbolic. Well, Palestinian ambassador Riyad Mansour was was moved to tears as he spoke on the podium in the General Assembly Hall on Friday. He said that there had never been a more significant vote, the United States Israel's ally here at the UN. It was one of the nine countries that voted 

    against this resolution. The US argues that pushing for Palestinian membership here at the United Nations is not helpful because a two state solution should be brokered through negotiations direct negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Now Israel's ambassador was furious about this vote, he accused the UN of inviting modern day Nazis into its fold and said that Churchill would be turning in his grave. The Israelis are well known for using props here at the UN when they speak and Gilad are brought along a mini wireless shredder to shred the UN charter to show 

    his opposition. Adam Curry: Did you see why? He brought out a paper shredder and like oh, and put it through and put the resolution through the paper shredder, it's all theatrics. No one cares. I mean, even these kids on campus, I don't think they care. They just want the right kid fee. Give me my scarf. And all they talk about is divest. Divest, divest, divest, I'm not even talking about dead people anymore. It's all so cynical John C Dvorak: debts actually, it's a good point. All it's all 

    it is all you know talking about dead people at all. Talking about as the best the best overnight, Unknown: George Washington University in Washington DC going into so called emergency mode, restricting access to certain areas of campus. As anti war protesters marched through the streets stopping outside the school president's office and forming a line across from police while demanding the school divest from companies with ties to Israel. 33 people 

    were arrested earlier this Palestinian encampment at the university. Police say they deployed pepper spray after officers were assaulted. The school says only six of those arrested are current students want Adam Curry: to ask you a question. And I mean, I definitely wasn't old enough. You might have been during the Vietnam protests on college campuses in the 60s. Were they talking about the financial like don't invest in war companies or bomb companies? Or they they were holding up pictures of dead 

    Vietnamese? Were they not? I mean, what what was what were they? Well, there John C Dvorak: wasn't even that most of the action was in the in the in the form of teachings which resulted in in teach just simple protests to end the war. There was two messages stop the draft and end the war. Yeah, it was. Yes. Adam Curry: So they did have they didn't have their own their own interests at heart stop the draft. People don't want to go to die. You know, there'll be somebody's kids over there. Send some kids over there to die. Get a draft going? Yeah, ship them. 

    Yeah, blue hair. That's John C Dvorak: the you know, the every so often the Democrat party tries to tries to make it seem as though they want to re Institute the draft. Only the Democrats? Yes. And the reason they they want that is because they know it will create an uproar with the students who will always vent their anger at the Republicans. This very strange logic, believe me, it's Adam Curry: them. And then Bibi Netanyahu who doesn't know 

    appeared on Dr. Phil. Meanwhile, Unknown: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains defiant after President Biden threatened to withhold more US weapons from Israel, Netanyahu saying if we have to stand alone, we will stand alone. Biden already halting a shipment of 3500 bombs, saying the US will not provide Israel with weapons to attack Rafa the southern Gaza City where more than a million Palestinians have sought refuge. Israeli forces 

    already launching what they described as limited operations there then Yahoo providing details on that operation. In an interview overnight with Dr. Phil, we've destroyed about 20 battalions of the Hamas is 24 terrorist battalions, we have another four to go there in Rafah. And that's why we want to go into alpha and Netanyahu had this to say about the students protesting on college campuses in the US. First of all, you have a lot of ignorant people that I'm sorry to say. whose sense of history at best goes back to breakfast 

    not even that, okay, they don't have the faintest clue what Hamas is. Adam Curry: What's interesting is that none of the other Arab countries except for the Iranian Revolutionary what are they called? Islamic or is known as Islamic State, Islamic Republic of Iran, which is the Mulas not the people of Iran who could easily be Americans. Jordan, Syria none of those countries 

    are are like well, Israel, no death to them, none of them. They all want this done and they all don't want the Palestinians. It's very, uh, Jordan is like, just getting ready to make sure no one comes into Jordan. They already have 700,000 Iraqis because you know, once they come in that's it can't get rid of them. And Egypt they got the check. I don't know if it cleared but they got their 7 billion euros so they better let people in soon. Well, 

    John C Dvorak: they're gonna make concentration camps outside of town is going Adam Curry: to do it the holiday camps. John, come on, Paul. I'm John C Dvorak: sorry. What are you thinking? holiday camp? final Adam Curry: clip here. Senator Lindsey Graham, you know, he's still, buddy, are you still on this comparison? Unknown: And I guess the question is, why does Israel need the most massive bombs that can potentially an entire block? In order to wage this war? Why can't it be more precise? John C Dvorak: Yeah, Cherry Bomb. Listen, Unknown: you know, here's what I would say about fighting an 

    enemy who wants to kill you and your family? Why did we drop two bombs, nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki go again. Adam Curry: So he he's doing this again. And by the way, one of our producers sent in a note and said, when he asked that of General Brown and Austin, the appropriate response would have been a senator, our job is to follow the constitutional orders 

    of the Commander in Chief. Instead, they went Homina Homina Homina Homina. Those guys don't even report to the commander in chief. That's why they didn't think of it. That's how horrible our military industrial complex has begun. John C Dvorak: Merely Milley said himself, he was basically not going to listen to anything Trump told him to do Unknown: to end the war that we couldn't afford to lose. You don't understand apparently what Israel is facing. They're facing three groups are Ron, who has received $80 billion in aid. 

    When Trump left office, they were exporting 300 barrels of oil a day. Now they're 1.3 men Adam Curry: a day. So it's about oil is that were you concerned about Lindy? They'd Unknown: been enriched by Biden. They're taking that money to kill all the Jews. So when we were faced with destruction as a nation after Pearl Harbor, fighting the Germans and the Japanese, we decided to end the war by bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear weapons. That was the right decision give 

    Israel the bombs they need to end the war they can't afford to lose and work with them to minimize casualties. What a Google John C Dvorak: guys unbelievable is Adam Curry: a Google vote. Hey, South Carolina. What's wrong with you? John C Dvorak: They just keep voting him in the guys Oh, this Adam Curry: guy is a Google rubber stamp to these center boom horrible horrible horrible man. And he is responsible for the setting up the coup and 2014 in Ukraine. That guy is no good. 

    Ah Unknown: it's disgusting. John C Dvorak: How do you really feel about this like gives the lives with his mom, you know? Adam Curry: No, no, he does not like clip Flavin some cheers. You think so? John C Dvorak: Let me be dead by now. Adam Curry: We have an update. I actually got this from Sir Mark Hall who was in Panama. He sent remark calls in Panama. You know, I think he's half Panama Panamanian. He has a place down 

    there was a half Panem Yeah. And he said he's a half painter. He sent me a couple of a couple of details couple of infos one. He said, Wait a second. Let me just pulling up my text message right now. He said so he's he doesn't have a car down there. So he's taking cabs and I don't know if it's Uber but he says I'm getting rides in a lot of Chinese sleds here in Panama. Dong, fangs. BYD Chung sun, GAC motors ad nauseam. 

    John C Dvorak: Yeah, Cy D. They're taking over the place and lots of lots and Chinese I don't have those. I don't have a clip. But it looks like the Chinese vehicles are will be shortly taken over all the European brands before they come here. Hmm. Adam Curry: And then he said, Hey, you know, we have a new president here in Panama. And he is making good on his presidential promise. Forget the Niang which is that you get it done. He's making good on that present on that promise. Forget 

    Unknown: the Niang Waco. That was last night for Molinos acceptance speech after winning the presidency and Panama Molinos platform included stopping the flow of migrants going through the country studying gap, one of the worst jungles in the world that connects South America with North America. In an interview on YouTube this morning, Molino vowed to close the jungle and to 

    repatriate all of the migrants to where they came from while respecting human rights. I have personally taken our fox as a viewer As to that end gap where more than half a million people cross in 2023 Molino, who was Minister of Defense when Panama had to battle Colombia's guerrilla group out of the Panamanian side of the Jungle says a wall cannot be built but technology will help to keep migrants out and stop the flow 

    to the United States. Well, good for him Adam Curry: closing that Darien Gap Well, you know, what's gonna happen is they're gonna send some boys down there. Hey, look at this picture of you better open that Darien Gap because we've got the international office of migration right there on the other side, so you got to open that up. John C Dvorak: Well, there's also we just fly him in hell with it. Well, obviously that's the east gate is the middleman just put them in a bin a built in a Boeing Yes. flying straight 

    to Minnesota. Well, Adam Curry: no, let's fly them to Seattle because things are breaking there. Unknown: I spoke with the quality in general manager he tells me the city of Seattle has yet to pay for any rooms since the asylum seekers moved back in earlier this week. He also says he has not received a contract for this two months stay. This whole situation is causing a lot of panic for these families that have made the city of Kent their home, on and off for the last several months. Now today we spoke with this group of asylum seekers They chanted for the city to keep them in Kent, 

    Adam Curry: by the way these asylum seekers so they're in a hotel and this in the city has not paid the hotel yet, which is a couple $100,000 bill. And these asylum seekers this great even though they got clean clothes like the guys were in a brand new cap. Now he's complaining about his kid not being in school. It's like they get an attitude. Unknown: Now, they just noticed I like this week after camping at Seattle's Powell Barnett Park. The city put out a notice they'd have to clear out by today and as we checked, they did and as we reported on Monday, Seattle promised to fund 

    about two months of their hotel rooms. Jose mio says the constant moving is stressful and impacts his aunt his three year old son's education also my son has has been missing school for like about a month and a half because of the issues that we have moving from one place to the other. And we do not want to move because we have established a beautiful community here. In response to Seattle spokesperson clarifies the city is committed to providing all of this funding for 45 families through June 30. 

    And that they empathize with the frustration and confusion. She adds that the exact details of that housing and shelter arrangement in terms of location may be adjusted. Imagine Adam Curry: that I don't want to move my kids already miss too much school. Unknown: Pay my bill. Let's let's John C Dvorak: be if we back up. You have to assume the only way you get an attitude like that is you've been invited Adam Curry: and you've been invited. You've been promised Of course you've made promises John C Dvorak: have been made to you because you only get an edge 

    when somebody breaks a promise. So they promised them this they promised them that then the end who's doing the promising is that UN operation our US government no Adam Curry: no. Who do not care about us about the citizens they John C Dvorak: don't care about the what about the homeless and the people that die on it. The 100,000 100,000 people that are dying of fentanyl wasting Adam Curry: Well I'll tell you guys who Hootenanny there's so much money in that fentanyl smuggling, you know who's doing it. And by the way, the Border Patrol who are so neutered, so 

    neutered by the policy of our government who clearly do not like the citizens of the country. They're so bored. They're putting together tequila brands. Unknown: These top border patrol officials pictured at a tequila distillery in Mexico are now part of an internal investigation into whether they violated ethics or security protocols. Current and former officials tell NBC News. These photos which were posted on social media shows Border Patrol chief Jason Owens, Rio Grande Valley sector chief Gloria Chavez and others with Mexican tequila maker Francisco Javier 

    Gonzalez sources with knowledge of the relationship between Gonzalez and the officials say he was working to create a border patrol tequila to be unveiled at the border patrol centennial celebration. Investigators now asking whether the CBP leaders properly disclosed their contact with Gonzalez, a foreign national and whether they accepted anything that would violate ethics rules. Officials tell NBC News it all comes during a tumultuous period for Border Patrol, and the last year and a half to top officials left the agency after allegations surfaced of sexual misconduct. And a whistleblower 

    report recently questioned why a top medical officer tried to order fentanyl lollipops to bring with him while providing security for the UN General Assembly. While Border Patrol tequila is now off the menu the agency is still preparing for its 100th anniversary later this month. The celebration includes two golf two An immense a parade and a black tie gala all sponsored by DHS contractors who get hundreds of millions in government contracts. Customs and Border Protection said his finance and ethics officers are conducting careful reviews 

    around the centennial events. Well, well, well. Adam Curry: How about that as John C Dvorak: a party's all the time? Yep. Bentonville popsicle parties black tie affairs all paid for by who? By show corrupt. Unknown: Mm hmm. I know. Where did you get that clip? Adam Curry: That's NBC. Wow, that's NBC that by the way, I think is courtesy of the clip custodian. It's one of the Jones brothers syndicate. Both of them I've been active. 

    John C Dvorak: Steve for a while he's no hands up crashed after it's been cut off. Three by three. He doesn't Adam Curry: like you. He's like dead. John is just not my cup of tea. John C Dvorak: seems unlikely. Adam Curry: So yeah, this is all very bad. It's all very bad. Now, this whole thing? It's I don't know what to say anymore. Because it's our government. Our government hates us. 

    John C Dvorak: Well, here's a good example of this night it happened. It's just not this is international. I have a Katie Hopkins rant which is actually quite good. She's complaining about this Sadiq Khan guy got elected as again, again a day of the London mayor and this guy's a creep isn't Adam Curry: the majority of people in London? Aren't they Muslim at this point? John C Dvorak: No, I don't believe they are. But the point that she makes is that really nobody voted in this election. 

    Anyway. Nobody wants to give consent to anything. And she has. Katie Hopkins was who was a was a professional broadcaster who had a she's going shows it's kind of annoying. She got pretty annoying. But she's always been annoying. She's always been annoying. But she got cancelled. And so she's now she's a tick talker. But she still has the professional chops. And she does 

    have a point she has points to make your little over the top, but I think it's worth listening to her. Unknown: There is a reason that only 40% of London turned out for the London mayor or vote. And when BBC is Nick Robinson says all 1500 votes between two candidates. This proves Your vote matters. Absolute Tosh. The reason people didn't turn out for the local elections isn't because they're not informed or because they couldn't be bothered. It's because they no longer want to give validity to the democratic process of voting 

    because they cannot stand a single politician. We have politician sending pictures of their nuts for someone and then being easily blackmailed. We have politicians making it illegal for me if I don't agree that Michael is now Michaela because he tucked his meat and two veg up into a pair of Spanx. We have politicians laundering taxpayers cash through war or pandemics and putting it straight into the pockets of their mates. People no longer trust politicians of any sort 

    and don't want to give validity to the democratic process because we don't want them to think they've got a mandate. blimmin Sadiq Khan has now 17% of London's vote that not a political mandate. And most importantly of all, we're supposed to be governed by consent. Well, people aren't just accepting that we're going to be governed by consent. People are no longer giving consent to be governed, and what comes next may not be pretty. Adam Curry: So historically speaking, when this happens, 

    which of course has happened in in historical times, what does happen? When people are just so sick and tired of it? They're like, they don't even feel like they're being governed by consent or that have any that there's no mandate. What historically happens is this word revolution comes into play to the pitchforks. Revolution John C Dvorak: usually is have a strong man figure come in and kind of clean house house cleaning does take place every so often. Not necessarily via a revolution. I mean, it was the 

    last revolution that worldwide that has occurred was of any importance outside of you know, Ecuador or a phony revolution was just some some military home to take or I guess, I guess, maybe in the south, but how about holidays? Haiti is Adam Curry: probably the only one. Unknown: Haiti is ready John C Dvorak: for that revolution, but Adam Curry: yeah, yeah, Haiti is probably more real than anything. And but that's John C Dvorak: always been Haiti has been a mess. Adam Curry: It's not pretty You know what, there's good news 

    though. And these are not I'm not trying to usurp your good news clips. But I am seeing change in the United States of America, which I love. I love it how Americans are just like, You know what? We're sick and tired of this, which we're just going to go back to what we think is right two schools Unknown: in Virginia are getting new names, actually their old names the names of Confederate officers. The Shenandoah County School Board is the first in the nation to revert to names from before the racial reckoning of 2020. And as CBS has Nicole 

    Killian reports, the community is fiercely divided over the move. The motion hearing to one vote, the Shenandoah County Virginia School Board voted to restore the names of two schools to Confederate generals After a heated hours long meeting. Why are we here tonight? To go back to a time in history. That was very cruel. Everyone is going to think that we're racist rednecks. And that's not okay. 

    The schools were initially stripped of their Confederate names in 2020 after massive protests surrounding the death of George Floyd. Mountain View High School will be renamed for Confederate General Stonewall Jackson, while honey Run Elementary School will bear the names of two Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Turner Ashby. Do you see this as a slap in the face to African Americans who live in this community? It is absolutely a slap in the face to African Americans and 

    quite frankly, the school board as it is currently comprised made a decision to go against the will of the people there I respond by saying hopefully this can open up dialogue where people can sit down and civilly discuss issues such as this. Mike Sheedy said the renaming process four years ago was flawed as the process. It was not followed. And people were not given a voice in their own government, which are I mean, that's the cornerstone of our of our 

    Adam Curry: Republican. That's the point. That's the point, turn everything back then let's just go back to before we were all sigh, opt into the George Floyd mania, and then we can sit down and calm and decide if we want to change this or not. I think that's that's hopeful. I like that. And even more hopeful, is this report Unknown: is a noticeable shift in post grad choices for many high schoolers this year. In fact, many are embracing alternative routes as opposed to traditional college paths. And 

    there's a surge of young adults entering trades or immediately starting their careers after high school, the fact that could put college attendance numbers in 2024, lower than in 2020. Students looking at skilled trades is definitely I guess I'm gonna say making a comeback in terms of post high school options. It's making the outlook a little bit bleak for Fall enrollments. The experts say this coming fall enrollment will tell them a lot about the current mindset of high school seniors. Yes, 

    right on. This is great news. We need people who can do stuff. Yeah, John C Dvorak: plumbers, yes, plumbers, good money. It's not like it's a bad idea. No, Adam Curry: it's a fence. It's a fantastic idea. Yeah, trade school. Let's bring back apprenticeship. In fact, I'm, I am now offering apprenticeships for podcasters if you're a young person who wants to become a professional podcast are 

    apprenticeships available with me John C Dvorak: to pick up a few kids Adam Curry: yes and get them to work for free. It's what apprenticeships John C Dvorak: are cheap. Yeah, Adam Curry: they do some stuff around the house too. While you're at it, you pick John C Dvorak: up your dry cleaning all the stuff that apprentices are supposed to do. Adam Curry: So there you know if it's not enough that the who was it? Me see, where's this? I forget who did it. The FBI is 

    now has now had to reluctantly admit that they staged some of the Trump Mar Lago crime scene photos. In fact, cover sheets that read top secret which you were all Judy, about. You wanted some of those. I got them and you got them? Well, you probably got them from the FBI because they planted them and position them in the photos show. Yeah, John C Dvorak: the whole thing was a scam. And it turns out that Jack Smith had to admit to it. And now the case is going 

    down the toilet. Adam Curry: But don't worry. We've got a new Unknown: one former President Donald Trump may owe $100 million in back taxes for Trump Tower here in Chicago. That's according to The New York Times and pro publica which looked into IRS audits of the Trump family business, according to their work. For the IRS as the former president use tax loopholes to write off his losses on the Chicago tower twice. The first write off was in 2008, before Trump tower 

    opened, Trump claimed the tower qualified for the tax code of worthless meaning he would not see a profit. Adam Curry: So of course no source for this but we're gonna get on with the IRS now. People are relentless. John C Dvorak: It's really funny because a loophole is the establish of the whole is a loophole. Adam Curry: It's the whole point he used, Paul. Well, that's what is there for Hello, everyone. Everyone uses the old crappy building loophole. Oh, I got well, I got another Trump thing 

    here and a new jingle to introduce this particular clip. Unknown: At the tone, a clip from the view will be played shelter in place. Can I say just one quick thing? Yeah. The one thing that was also interesting is that Madeline went over all of his important contacts people that he called all the time because she had to get a list. This Adam Curry: is Trump's speed dial, Tom Unknown: Brady, Jeanine Pirro, Mika and Joe Sean Hannity, Mark 

    Burnett, Michael Cohen, Bill Belichick David pecker and Alan weisselberg and Serena Williams, what do you make of that list? Serena Williams was a regular call. So striking to me. The people that is this? I mean, Michael Cohen doesn't fit in that list, because he turned against him. Yes. For people that went 17 Oh, that wasn't 17 Those were his most all right contact. Adam Curry: I can't believe it use friends was like normal people. John C Dvorak: Unbelievable. That was sunny Hoskins, I guess. 

    Yes, of course. Of course. He's the worst that woman she Adam Curry: is pretty bad. Well, no, you know, was really bad. Unknown: James Carville. John C Dvorak: I mean, I heard from him for a while. You have a James Carville clip. Oh, I Adam Curry: have two James Carville clips. Okay. Well, you John C Dvorak: stopped the show for that. Well, it's worth it. Because Adam Curry: I mean, he used to be relevant. Probably, I think he was his relevancy probably went away. What do you think? 

    1015 years ago? He was a big deal at the time he, John C Dvorak: he was actually irrelevant when we started this show, which almost 17 years ago. Here Unknown: we go. If they get a hold, there will be no government left. There'll be no rights left. You will live under theocracy, you'll end up Christian nationalism. But that's all right. You look fucking 26 year old you don't feel like elections in Portland. I made it not addressing the issues that I care about. Adam Curry: It's yelling at 26 year olds who will never even 

    hear this. He is he's going off the rails. This is a minute long, but I think you can bear with it in Unknown: Trump's more head than he's ever been more do people think January of six was any kind of what it was is a an assault on the temple of democracy to our constitution or whatever fuck you want to say it's gone the wrong way. It's not working. Everything that we're throwing is spaghetti at a 

    wall and none of it is sticking me included. And it's hard when you're starting at a year and you can you know, like anybody else have opinion of myself. And the opinion I've come to is I don't matter. That's a matter. You can be can prepare your you can be on TV or you can write pieces. You can have a YouTube channel, you can have a podcast, podcasting, nothing. And you 

    know what, put out a white try to think of something different. Because what we're doing is really, really not working. John C Dvorak: What is he talking about himself Adam Curry: that no one cares about him and in the brilliant words of Valerie Gail Clark, my mother no longer with us, but I know she's up there smiling at me. She would say Oh, dry up and blow away. That's what Carville needs to do dry up and blow 

    away. He John C Dvorak: needs to have something better. A better president you know ever since that movie came out the color whatever it was it was this movie. It was about the Clinton election for the first president lecture they brought out the fact that Carville is apparently a flasher. Unknown: flasher you John C Dvorak: know a guy who's shows himself to Just random slasher Yeah, flashes. Last year is remember this. Adam Curry: It was 

    John C Dvorak: in the movie. And everyone was like, Oh, there he is. Again, the guy was just gonna give it up. And and I think it did hurt his career. Adam Curry: Let me see do we do we? I don't know if we flasher I kind of remember that. What a creepy guy then that's no good. That's very creepy. Okay. I think this is rather important. As tomorrow we've got to what, first of all? Let's Yeah, let me 

    start with this tomorrow. Big announcement happening. Big big announcement. Now Unknown: this Monday, open AI is set to announced plans for a search engine powered by artificial intelligence. That's according to Reuters news agency. It's the latest challenge to Google. And then announcement would come a day before Google's annual developer conference. Well, for more, I'm joined by our technology editor Kai. Allison, good question. I think Sundar Pichai. He would not say he's nervous. He didn't say he was not sweating. And certainly 

    he'd say he's not dancing to anyone's tune. In fact, that's exactly what he told Bloomberg this week in an interview with Emily Chang, that was a giant Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, who in February last year, said the release of their being their new Bing chat with that artificial intelligence would make Google of dance, do make Google dance. John C Dvorak: It's my opinion, Adam Curry: I think it's interesting. I think Google, you 

    know, big companies do mess up and do go away. You know, this, this does happen from time to time. John C Dvorak: Happens all the time. And it's kind of the way it is Adam Curry: who is vulnerable. And if anything, I think perplexity has a shot at the I don't know what Microsoft Microsoft is, because of course, you know, open AI, whatever they're going to do. It's going to it's, it's an open eye book, basically owned by Microsoft at this point. Well, John C Dvorak: I'm of the opinion that we have the, by 

    Adam Curry: the way, this is a tech segment. And this is probably the best technology segment you'll get anywhere. To John C Dvorak: nowadays. I'm of the opinion, we were dealing with the the the idea of when you're in a motorcycle, you don't look at the rock. Unknown: Yeah. Adam Curry: Good point. John C Dvorak: You look at where you're going, not what you don't want to hit because you'll hit it. So Adam Curry: you tell a man that Googles the rock? John C Dvorak: Yeah, if you're in a motorcycle, or any even a 

    car and you see something, you don't want to look at it, because you'll you'll veer toward it and hit it. This is a well known thing you do. But I believe this is a metaphor for or even a it's just an example an analogous to a lot of other things in the business world. And Google because I remember this from the early days of silicon spin when Sergey used to be on the show a lot. Google was well aware of what happened to 

    Alta Vista. Yep. And this was the era when Yahoo was still the number one search engine Google was it. Google didn't really take off as, as the, as the owner Adam Curry: of Yahoo. Didn't Yahoo by their search from was excite did they buy X? Oh, they bought John C Dvorak: it from everybody. They bought a slew of different companies. And it just got worse and worse. Because Yahoo could never implement anything properly. It was a terrible company. But But Google was always aware of what 

    happened to Alta Vista. And in other words, Google is looking at the rock. Yeah. Adam Curry: Yeah. And so they Great. That's a great analogy. John C Dvorak: It's a great one. Great, Adam Curry: you are the great one. John C Dvorak: But he is looking at they're they're looking at the rock and so that's bad. It's because of, I mean, this is from the beginning. So looking at Adam Curry: the rock, it's two Indian guys duking it out. Just just as a little observation. Oh, 

    John C Dvorak: that is kind of cool. That makes it funnier. Yeah. Can you imagine? Adam Curry: I liked the other Indian guy. I forget his name, but perplexity.ai Have you seen I've we've talked about a thing perplexity? No John C Dvorak: not familiar with it. Adam Curry: I think it's a crappy name. Because it keep forgetting what it is. But perplexity.ai That's actually an interesting search engine John C Dvorak: that uses AI insight. We'll be using it this week. Adam Curry: It says ask questions, trust the answers. And so it and I've asked it several things. I'm like, well, 

    we'll never know. Oh, how about this? Why don't we use the John C Dvorak test when and that is, what is the best weed whacker? Am I correct? Is that not the question the test? Okay, what is the best way weed whacker comes back and says, based on the search results were like that the best weed whacker, also known as a string trimmer or weed eater, depends on your specific needs and preferences. Here's some top recommendations. Then see the the echo DSRM. 2100 is highly rated for a battery 

    powered option that Makita the D, Walt D, C S T 972 x one another excellent cordless trimmer. And it has, you know, I'm liking what they do, it has all of their it has all of their sources listed. By the way, I was talking to willow, willow, she has her master's in her own thesis was an online psychology and, and she works for a search recommendation engine company 

    something like that. And so she does a lot of she's building large language models for clients. And, and she says that, you know, it's like, it's basically a chatbot that never comes up with a with a with I got no answer because it's always going to recommend a product. And I said, Ah, now we'll see I think this is gone all end up in this in quantum computing. She said, Ah, we almost missed the boat. It's already there. Said clients are all jacked about quantum 

    computing. They all want it. And they say, and they say that Google actually has a phenomenal search based on their quantum computer. But it's not affordable. No one can afford it. But apparently it was at work. I don't know. Because it's vaporware. As far as I'm concerned. John C Dvorak: I think the whole thing is bold crap. Adam Curry: I bet you that Google's just you know, is just doing demos that look really impressive. I'm with you. I 

    don't think it's real at all. John C Dvorak: But they're selling at Silicon Valley and doing fake demos to show up right? That's not a new idea. Final Adam Curry: question I have for you I have my own opinion. Your your opinion. This is kind of the the white man's Drake versus Kendrick Lamar. What did you think of the apple? What do you think of the Apple ad? The crashing the crush Apple ad for the for the new iPad? John C Dvorak: Oh, the crush Apple ad? I haven't seen it. 

    Well, there you go. Adam Curry: You know, have you heard about it though? Yeah, yeah, I've heard about it. So here was my thought. Within the apple ads were great. They started with the 1984 Introducing the Mac John C Dvorak: years ago and they were using ChIAT day ChIAT day Adam Curry: That's right. Jay ChIAT himself John C Dvorak: who I had drinks with him once Adam Curry: I think I spent a drink or two with ChIAT is a great guy. John C Dvorak: But by the way he's also this is also a a great 

    don't he's he's got this attitude about don't complain about stuff. I was talking to him about ad buying and how it's been ruined by these you know, these these dummies that come out of college and then all of a sudden they're hired as the advisor never read the magazine never do anything he says you know this is just the kind of complaints you hear from sales guys. They just complain forget at do your work. Adam Curry: So Tim, my thinking is that Apple is now a 

    destructive company. And when just explain. And I think they this shows you what is happening inside Apple, Steve Jobs Now he was gone for a period there. But you know, for the past, you know, before he passed away, it was a very creative, it was always positive. It was about creation. He himself was messianic in a way. Because we create loyalty we're for the crazy ones were for the oddballs. We create we're creators, we make beautiful things. And now the company has 

    turned into demonic evil crushing people who we go these things do not pass by management, unobserved or unapproved. When you in your heart and your soul, you're like yeah, let's crush all that stuff. Let's show destruction. That's who they've become. And I think that I should. Do you think this is just all symbolism this is this is where they are now. They are about negative decision pushing John C Dvorak: symbol this they can't keep it to themselves. 

    They can't because they are no because nobody can you can't keep it to yourself. Adam Curry: No, they are all about crashing and breaking things down. And they are no longer positive but is no longer an aspirational positive company. This is coming from deep inside its DNA. I'm looking at you Tim Collins. John C Dvorak: Well, it's an interest In thesis, Unknown: I'm going to show my mood by donating to no agenda Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun John C Dvorak: Well, there you have it. There you have it. We 

    do have a few people to thank for shows 1659 That's right. Next show 1660 What opportunities there Christopher man again starts us off with the donation segment. Second half a show which we're now back to that's Adam Curry: why it feels good. Doesn't it doesn't feel good. It's John C Dvorak: you know, I like changing things now and again, I never mind did everything being at the end because it you know, but I think this is better. Because it breaks up things 

    people. This show is tedious. Let's face it. Chris Christopher Adam Curry: let's face it it's just tedious that's a bumper Yes hello no agenda shop no agenda John C Dvorak: and a really good just as good show that is me me complacent.

Is that me? Yeah, really? It's over. Adam Curry: It's over well, that's a great ISO obviously. John C Dvorak: You know. Okay, here's the last one, which is the one I prefer, which is Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Adam Curry: that's a good one. I like it I like it you've sold me 

    no problem it's good that we'll use that one that's what we're gonna go with everybody all right, let's find out what we can leave you with for the rest of your Sunday. What is our good news story of the day John C Dvorak: you got to do it go with a nine year old kid who is a parent they're in a tornado situation in the car got hit by a tree to escape the car to go get help. And here we go. So 

    Unknown: imagine being nine years old, your family truck crashes and you see that your parents are trapped inside and they're injured. It would have been understandable to be frozen in fear, especially because they were in the middle of a tornado. Instead, though this little boy acted quickly, and he saved their lives. Oh really, really scared. This morning nine year old Branson Baker dubbed a hero after helping save us parents lives when they were caught in an e f4. Tornado. The storm tearing through Oklahoma April 27. 

    Branson and his parents Wayne and Lindy Baker, racing for safety driving to their friends storm shelter. You can pretty much see this tornado within about a mile or two miles away from us. But as we turned, the tornado turned itself the tornado uprooting a tree hitting the Baker's truck full force trapping Wayne and Lindy but Branson able to escape running over a mile to get help since I went to go get help us it No. Brenton sprung into 

    action really quick. He's very courageous for a nine year old boy. Not many adults would have done what he did way now recovering from back neck and arm injuries. His wife Lindy still in the hospital, but it's little Branson's heroic acts in the spotlight, doing everything for his mom and dad. Couldn't be more proud to be a father agree what a brave little boy Adam Curry: Oh, there's a good news. You know, we used to call that that kid. You know, we'd call that kid back in the day. 

    Unknown: But a good doobie. A good doobie, don't don't you remember Romper Room? No. Oh, my John C Dvorak: never saw Romper Room. I wasn't a wasn't. And we were over. Oh Adam Curry: no. And they call you out like hello to all the atoms out there. Yeah Romper Room and if you did something heroic, you will get called out as a good dooby dooby good news. Good news. Good news. Good news. I know later. I'm like, yeah. 

    All right. John C Dvorak: All right on the part of the brainwashing Adam Curry: and probably. That is it for your Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day. One of the one of the unsung heroes of our lives. Go hug your mom or call her. She can she's around. He's lovely. Love moms moms are great.
