Adam Curry: Silence warrior, Adam curry,
Unknown: John C Devorah.
Adam Curry: They made 2024 This Year Award winning give our
nation media assassination episode 1659 This is no agenda

of the country here in FEMA Region number six in the
morning, everybody. 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

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?
Adam Curry: I don't know we're gonna find it if we're gonna
find out. Look it up. Sounds like a hoot what he loves and
why you're asking the word here Nabil show who cheered

Adam Curry: and remember us and no agenda donations.com become a
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.

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

is Mark here from the Blaine meetup. Thank you for your
courage in the morning from FEMA Region number 10. This is Jason
so stoked to find some other no agenda listeners. And I got to
cut loose from church even though I work at a church in
order to be at this meetup. Love you guys
in the morning. Thank you for having me. And what I really
want to know is Adam, what are you drinking? Back to work? Get
back to work you monkey did I say you can stop walking? No.
That was our human resource.
So at our meetup today, I'm meeting people I've never met
before in my life. My name is Chester and we've had great
conversation and I feel like we've all been friends right
from the beginning and it is true you know, we're all like
minded individuals that are seeking a little bit of sanity
through your media deconstruction and finding new
friendships and camaraderie from February's in time in the
morning.
Adam Curry: That's my point exactly. Get off social media.
Stop wasting your time on tick tock, go to a meet up. Go hang
out with some people in real life that will enrich you that
and you know what, you might even start something you might
start something locally, will you actually make a difference
in your community? I'm just saying. But that won't be
happening tonight in Indianapolis because the indie
Moodle meetup has been moved to next Sunday the 19th. So if you
are planning on going as usual, a lot of people go there, Mark
and Maria always taking good care everybody. It has been

Unknown: aim you want to be
Adam Curry: like oh, I only have one ISO. So I don't know if
you're gonna like it or not. Have you the brain? But did you
see have you the brain worms? Oh, yeah, I knew I knew he
wouldn't like it. I knew it. I
John C Dvorak: know. I got three.
Adam Curry: I knew I was a loser. All right, what you got?
Unknown: Hopefully they're good.
John C Dvorak: Let's start with excited.
Adam Curry: I'm excited. Sounds very excited.
John C Dvorak: Let me say it. It's over. Oh, yeah. Oops.
Unknown: It's over. Me that again. It's over. Alright, and
then we have the final view. 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. Coming up next on the no
agenda stream in the modern podcasts up or if you're troll
room.io Just keep on the stream. We've got mere mortals as the
mere mortals book review where chyron down from Australia will
be reviewing the useful a be useful. It's a book by Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Kevin's good at this kind of stuff. So take a
look at that. Also end of show mixes we've got our clip
custodian Neal Jones, had some extra time to bring you an end
of show mix along with Professor Jay Jones who was just knocking
it out of the park. Every single show and we could use some more
of these and to show mixes lazy bums. Coming to you from the
heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in Fredericksburg,
Texas FEMA Region number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry.
John C Dvorak: Live from Northern Silicon Valley. I'm
John C. Dvorak. Remember I said no
Adam Curry: agenda donations.com until Thursday, everybody adios
mofos who we who we and such and remember that we just had this
bird flu scare which is not over at all. It wasn't in the in the
ground beef. Ah,
Unknown: USDA says the negative results tonight confirm the meat
supply is safe and God might be in the middle but it's in the
ground beef
this morning. The FDA insists the nation's milk supply is safe
Adam Curry: when people people listen very poorly to the news.
They are breaking breaking breaking ground beef. Bird flu.
Unknown: The first case study human getting bird flu from a
mammal in the US. I guarantee you
Adam Curry: that people are like, well maybe you should just
have some chicken tonight cannot get this strain of bird flu from
eating poultry.
Unknown: Unless you want to have some
moron chicken
bird flu has halted production of the nation's largest producer
of fresh eggs.
Adam Curry: I heard something about ground beef. I don't like
it then bit and they're all jumping in on
Unknown: anytime. There are reports a bottlenose dolphin in
Florida has died from bird flu possibly the first dolphin in
the US to dive in virus,
Adam Curry: I would have to say if it wasn't planned, ma'am,
they really picked up quick because the fake meat people are
back, they're not going to give up. They're all in. So we have
the
Unknown: ability to grow meat much more efficiently than the
conventional way. And that's gonna be really important. I
mean, the protein requirements of the planet are going to
double between now and 2050. So adding another tool to be able
to sustainably make proteins is going to be really important.
Thank you science. Thank you science, science.
We have science I know you love science Charlotte's braided?
Adam Curry: Just no memoir, there's no movie, Jr. Saying it
every single time.

experiencing severe memory loss and mental fogginess if that
should have been a clue right there.
