1
00:00:01,530 --> 00:00:05,430
Rain, sleet. No, not even snow
can stop us from doing our

2
00:00:05,430 --> 00:00:09,840
weekly show, even if it's at 830
in the morning on a Saturday.

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,010
Hey, everybody, it's no agenda
coming to you from the United

4
00:00:14,010 --> 00:00:15,510
Kingdom. My name is Adam curry.

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,580
I'm John C. Dvorak here in
Lisbon, Portugal, where? It's

6
00:00:20,580 --> 00:00:21,450
830 in the morning.

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,270
Yeah, it's like when I'm really
old guide time, John.

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,090
It's like Speak for yourself.

9
00:00:27,090 --> 00:00:30,720
John calls me, calls me
yesterday says, Hey, let's say

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,080
let's do the show tomorrow at
eight o'clock. 8am was at none.

11
00:00:34,860 --> 00:00:38,190
So I appreciate the 830 that
makes a big difference in my

12
00:00:38,190 --> 00:00:38,610
life.

13
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,500
You can go back to bed
afterwards.

14
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:43,979
I can't I can't get back to
sleep after I'm awake. It never

15
00:00:43,979 --> 00:00:47,669
works. Whether you can thank me
for getting you up early. Yeah.

16
00:00:47,669 --> 00:00:48,539
All right. Hey, John.

17
00:00:48,540 --> 00:00:49,590
How's Portugal doing?

18
00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:52,950
As about 70 degrees Sunny, it's
beautiful. Today we're gonna go

19
00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:59,040
doing some, some photography. So
I'm over here at one of the

20
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,690
trade shows the government
Import Export agency, trade

21
00:01:03,690 --> 00:01:04,260
agencies.

22
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,320
What is that isn't isn't that
arms dealers import export.

23
00:01:07,679 --> 00:01:11,579
And this is all tech in. In
fact, yesterday. If I was in the

24
00:01:11,579 --> 00:01:16,229
arms business, I'd probably be
better off. But so yesterday,

25
00:01:16,229 --> 00:01:19,499
the I kind of split off from the
group and went with the one of

26
00:01:19,499 --> 00:01:23,249
the other Trade Representatives
and we went up to the wine

27
00:01:23,249 --> 00:01:23,819
country.

28
00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:29,010
Hold on a second, where you're
staying in Lisbon right now?

29
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,130
Yeah. And where's the wine
country? According to

30
00:01:32,250 --> 00:01:36,510
you? Well, the wine country is
all over the place, when that's

31
00:01:36,510 --> 00:01:40,620
my point. Well, it's not quite
as bad as France where you know,

32
00:01:40,620 --> 00:01:43,410
you can't walk down the street
without running into a winery.

33
00:01:43,410 --> 00:01:49,320
But it's still the place we went
was out was about an hour and a

34
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,190
half out of town.

35
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,940
Everything any place you want to
go in Portugal is always an

36
00:01:53,940 --> 00:01:57,330
hour. It's always an hour and a
half. It's it's I've been there

37
00:01:57,330 --> 00:02:01,410
many, many times, particularly
in in the 80s.

38
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:04,830
But one of the things I did
yesterday, which was I thought

39
00:02:04,830 --> 00:02:08,280
and I kind of wanted to do this
for years, I went to a cork

40
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:08,940
factory

41
00:02:10,889 --> 00:02:13,619
which seems to be no longer a
growth market.

42
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:18,959
So Ha, see, thank you very much
for walking into that one. No,

43
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:19,349
dude,

44
00:02:19,469 --> 00:02:21,509
it's early. Okay. No, I

45
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:24,870
mean, seriously, the bed the
cork people are, are literally

46
00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:28,080
pissed off about the Prop, the
anti cork propaganda that's been

47
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,290
going around, including the
commentary that, you know,

48
00:02:31,290 --> 00:02:34,530
they're chopping cork trees, and
they're quarks are all bad and

49
00:02:34,530 --> 00:02:36,990
blah, blah, blah, because this
is all turns out to be done by

50
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:41,250
the plastics and closures, the
public relations.

51
00:02:42,089 --> 00:02:45,689
Of course, that's it. That's how
it goes, right? You just spew

52
00:02:45,689 --> 00:02:48,569
some bullshit into the ether and
take away someone's market.

53
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,640
out it comes. So the fact of the
matter is, in reality, the court

54
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:57,180
plantations are growing as we
speak at 4% a year here in

55
00:02:57,180 --> 00:03:01,110
Portugal. And it's also illegal
even if you bought a house with

56
00:03:01,110 --> 00:03:04,560
a cork tree, and they've got all
these trees registered. You

57
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,690
can't touch that tree. Even if
you're never going to take the

58
00:03:06,690 --> 00:03:07,680
cork bark off.

59
00:03:08,220 --> 00:03:11,940
I never realised that. And this
may sound weird, but I've never

60
00:03:11,940 --> 00:03:15,240
realised that cork comes from a
tree called the cork tree. In

61
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,640
fact, I don't think I've ever
seen a cork tree ever.

62
00:03:18,780 --> 00:03:21,390
Well, that's another thing that
I decided to actually do.

63
00:03:22,140 --> 00:03:25,080
slightly embarrassed about not
knowing this, but it's if you

64
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,080
can see these things. Actually,
in Portugal, from what I can

65
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,050
tell you wherever you go, as all
you see, every almost every

66
00:03:31,050 --> 00:03:36,240
other tree is a cork tree. It's
an oak. It's a specific kind of

67
00:03:36,270 --> 00:03:37,500
oak. It's an oak cork

68
00:03:37,530 --> 00:03:41,640
oak. But do you have to treat
the you have to treat the wood

69
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,890
when you cut it down? Or is it
just like a real pain never

70
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:46,230
cut? Do you never cut the wood
down and what is

71
00:03:46,229 --> 00:03:48,149
core core grows on the cork
tree.

72
00:03:48,510 --> 00:03:53,160
This it's a special kind of bark
that this tree develops, it

73
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,830
takes about 40 years before it
gets thick enough that it

74
00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:58,860
becomes you can make corks out
of it, which is a long term

75
00:03:58,860 --> 00:04:01,170
investments and most of these
trees are quite old and they go

76
00:04:01,170 --> 00:04:05,940
for about 100 years. And I got
Believe me I got the lecture and

77
00:04:06,090 --> 00:04:09,120
but anyway but so I'm we're a
couple of days ago where we're

78
00:04:09,150 --> 00:04:12,420
taking a trip down south and and
I kept looking around and I saw

79
00:04:12,420 --> 00:04:15,000
some of these trees that had
because they strip off every

80
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,850
seven years they stay take the
bark off during it one part of

81
00:04:17,850 --> 00:04:21,150
the year like like shearing a
sheep and it's very careful

82
00:04:21,150 --> 00:04:23,640
process they take the bark off
and then regrows it takes

83
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,580
another seven years to get
another batch. But I'm looking

84
00:04:26,580 --> 00:04:28,380
around and saying well that's
interesting that they're taking

85
00:04:28,380 --> 00:04:30,810
the bark off these oak trees
because you know being from the

86
00:04:30,810 --> 00:04:34,440
Bay Area where Oakland is, you
know you get used to and I have

87
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,690
an oak tree in my backyard. I
know what oak looks like. It has

88
00:04:36,690 --> 00:04:39,870
a distinctive look. As it grows,
get. It's just a good looking

89
00:04:39,870 --> 00:04:43,530
tree. And all I'm seeing are
these oak trees. And then I see

90
00:04:43,530 --> 00:04:45,600
a bunch of oak trees with the
bark stripped off and I'm

91
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,200
thinking I wonder what that's
all about. They're bred to

92
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,280
obviously. So then they pointed
out that yeah, no, it isn't oak

93
00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:57,420
dummy. And so the whole country
is covered with these things and

94
00:04:57,420 --> 00:05:00,300
they showed us a map at the at
the workplace and it's Like,

95
00:05:01,020 --> 00:05:04,410
it's unbelievable how many of
these trees are here. And in

96
00:05:04,410 --> 00:05:07,440
fact, we were at the cork
factory and one of only, you

97
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,010
know, this is only one of
hundreds of these places. They

98
00:05:11,010 --> 00:05:17,970
had 14,000 tonnes of bark
stacked up in the back in the

99
00:05:17,970 --> 00:05:20,970
back in the end and this bark is
light. So you can imagine what

100
00:05:20,970 --> 00:05:24,600
that look like. And anyway I got

101
00:05:24,990 --> 00:05:31,650
so so so it is it is truly a
business that is see. See it's

102
00:05:31,650 --> 00:05:35,220
growing by 4% Yeah. But

103
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,690
and the rest of his nonsense too
they were talking about here's

104
00:05:39,690 --> 00:05:42,090
what their litany was and I
brought this up now when I

105
00:05:42,090 --> 00:05:45,660
was this this part of the Import
Export tour that that Were you

106
00:05:45,660 --> 00:05:48,930
forced to go to this because you
took this junk at this press

107
00:05:48,930 --> 00:05:51,720
junket where you forced to go to
the to the cork farm.

108
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,880
No, I had this is my my
decision. Okay, good. We're

109
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,640
forcing you to the cork farm
into work.

110
00:05:59,850 --> 00:06:02,040
There's always you got to do you
got you got to pay the piper

111
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,350
somewhere. What did they force
you to do on this trip? What was

112
00:06:04,350 --> 00:06:04,950
the thing that they

113
00:06:06,270 --> 00:06:11,490
they forced us to go down to
their big dock scene down and

114
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,990
look at the pretty ships coming
in? Well, it was like their new

115
00:06:16,590 --> 00:06:20,070
project is a deepwater port
south of Lisbon an hour and a

116
00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:20,550
half

117
00:06:20,970 --> 00:06:23,670
an hour and a half south of
villas and of course in Oh Porto

118
00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:24,570
by any chance?

119
00:06:25,950 --> 00:06:29,340
No, Portugal. Oops, photos north
of Lisbon. Actually, it's about

120
00:06:29,340 --> 00:06:32,970
three hours. It's just a long
way. But it knows south of

121
00:06:32,970 --> 00:06:36,030
Lisbon and yeah, we had to do
that. So that was kind of wasn't

122
00:06:36,030 --> 00:06:40,080
that interesting. I mean, I've
seen dogs before. I live in the

123
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,050
Bay Area for Cisco. Yeah, real
estate. These dogs were like

124
00:06:43,050 --> 00:06:45,780
kind of Mickey Mouse compared to
what we have in the Bay Area.

125
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,170
Where they got the Ohana here me
just like ridiculous difference.

126
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,690
So so that was one of the issues
that was kind of like boring,

127
00:06:54,690 --> 00:06:56,640
but the cork thing wasn't it was

128
00:06:56,670 --> 00:06:59,070
quite No, that's interesting.
That's an did you pick up any

129
00:06:59,070 --> 00:06:59,790
souvenirs? They

130
00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:03,690
have sort of? Oh, yeah, no, I
got a really exclusive super

131
00:07:03,690 --> 00:07:06,840
cork. Big piece that guys
chopped it off for me right from

132
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:10,500
the right from the bachelor that
they were sorting. And I also

133
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:15,060
got a piece of extruded cork
that's about I totally should be

134
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:20,190
making these gag corks that are
extremely long. I saw this on a

135
00:07:20,190 --> 00:07:23,310
Benny Hill once he pulls out the
cork and things about a mile

136
00:07:23,310 --> 00:07:24,330
long, it's like bigger than

137
00:07:24,690 --> 00:07:26,280
it just keeps coming out of the
bottle man.

138
00:07:28,110 --> 00:07:32,490
So but anyway, guy, I took a lot
of little movies with the small

139
00:07:32,490 --> 00:07:34,920
digital camera so I'm gonna post
but I'm also gonna post this

140
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,170
thing with this woman says it's
a crock of crap about what

141
00:07:37,170 --> 00:07:38,970
they've been saying about
cooking. And here's what the

142
00:07:38,970 --> 00:07:41,490
Litany is, is that the quarks
have all gone bad. The quarks

143
00:07:41,490 --> 00:07:45,510
are bad, because they've over
harvest and so they can't get

144
00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:49,410
any good cork anymore, which is
crazy. And then the They're

145
00:07:49,410 --> 00:07:52,800
loaded with TCA, which is that
cork taste which they they're,

146
00:07:52,830 --> 00:07:57,120
they're actually testing to
extremes with now, and that

147
00:07:57,210 --> 00:07:59,610
they're chopping the trees down
and that which apparently is the

148
00:07:59,610 --> 00:08:02,220
one that really irks the courts
because they don't because you

149
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:04,830
got to take care of your course
illegal. Yeah, but it's also

150
00:08:04,830 --> 00:08:07,320
illegal so you can't do that.
And that's not the way the whole

151
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,100
thing works illegal in Portugal
maybe. Yeah, well, Portugal is

152
00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:14,970
still the big core producer of
the world. And I mean the whole

153
00:08:14,970 --> 00:08:19,320
country is just cork trees and
so anyway, they're a little

154
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,530
annoyed by the by the propaganda
and I was actually kind of taken

155
00:08:22,530 --> 00:08:26,370
aback by the these you know, but
once hearing her you know,

156
00:08:26,430 --> 00:08:29,700
lament I realised you know,
there we go again here's our

157
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:33,300
public relations machines you
know, spewing whatever it is to

158
00:08:33,300 --> 00:08:33,420
the

159
00:08:33,630 --> 00:08:36,510
public that's why I asked you
know, if it was on the tour if

160
00:08:36,510 --> 00:08:39,900
it was on the force the first
outing or not okay

161
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:44,310
because that is that is you
know, you can which is part of a

162
00:08:44,310 --> 00:08:48,780
public relations scheme but no
it wasn't it was my my decision

163
00:08:48,780 --> 00:08:52,710
and the one who insisted on it
and they the court person just

164
00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:55,860
cork person she's went on about
you know, we don't we don't we

165
00:08:55,860 --> 00:08:59,700
haven't done much in the way of
PSP have not we don't need

166
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:03,420
come Hey, John. That's perfect.
No agenda brought to you by the

167
00:09:03,420 --> 00:09:09,150
Portuguese cork industry proudly
bringing you cork. That'd be a

168
00:09:09,150 --> 00:09:10,320
great sponsor for us.

169
00:09:10,770 --> 00:09:13,260
Look, I'm gonna work on it. I
know see why they wouldn't

170
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,260
Yeah, I mean, we talked about
why and we talked they got they

171
00:09:16,260 --> 00:09:17,790
got tonnes of dough we need some

172
00:09:17,820 --> 00:09:21,270
absolutely. We will push their
cork agenda.

173
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,030
That would be cool. That'd be
very very cool.

174
00:09:24,810 --> 00:09:28,620
She says the tennis she makes a
complaint about these plastic

175
00:09:28,620 --> 00:09:31,740
enclosures besides the plastic
corks which generally don't work

176
00:09:31,740 --> 00:09:34,650
by the way, but there's plastic
screw tops she says you know you

177
00:09:34,650 --> 00:09:38,040
gotta you metal is just a
polluting thing and you got the

178
00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:41,550
plastic which is non renewable
inside, on and on.

179
00:09:41,550 --> 00:09:45,960
So that's plastic stuff can make
you sterile to here. Seriously,

180
00:09:46,230 --> 00:09:46,650
yeah, if

181
00:09:46,650 --> 00:09:54,090
you put it over you we know what
but so anyway, so but anyway,

182
00:09:54,090 --> 00:09:57,870
the countries are quite pretty.
What I was kind of surprised by

183
00:09:57,870 --> 00:10:03,750
the of the amount of English
literacy that's here. And that's

184
00:10:03,750 --> 00:10:06,870
really only it's only really
been the past 20 years. I mean,

185
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:11,190
add when I was in Portugal in
the in the early 80s, dude,

186
00:10:11,190 --> 00:10:13,590
third world country. Yeah.

187
00:10:15,150 --> 00:10:17,850
Yeah, things have changed since
he actually was really I think

188
00:10:17,850 --> 00:10:22,170
it was 86. But was told us that
once they joined the EU,

189
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,700
that's when it happened. Yeah,
that's what that's when they

190
00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:25,590
started to come out of third
world ship.

191
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,190
Right. And David just shot
right, you know, to the

192
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,940
drive to drive by the football
stadium. The beautiful move is

193
00:10:32,940 --> 00:10:34,980
great, because they don't have a
team, which is what I think is

194
00:10:34,980 --> 00:10:37,890
the funniest thing. They have a
national team. Yeah, they don't

195
00:10:37,890 --> 00:10:39,630
have a team that actually plays
anywhere.

196
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,590
That's true. They do on the
road. They built that stadium

197
00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:43,860
because

198
00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:46,200
they were hosting I think,
either the European of the World

199
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,650
Cup. They don't really have a
team that can really compete.

200
00:10:49,650 --> 00:10:52,680
They got some good players, but
not not a national team that

201
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:53,310
does any good.

202
00:10:53,970 --> 00:10:56,820
I think they'll argue with you
about that. No, no, no, I

203
00:10:56,820 --> 00:10:58,800
think they won't argue with me
about that.

204
00:10:59,670 --> 00:11:02,670
Well, I don't know. I don't
follow the game because I'm an

205
00:11:02,670 --> 00:11:05,700
American. And yes, right. Well,
it's a girls game in the United

206
00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:06,720
States. And what can I say?

207
00:11:07,349 --> 00:11:10,529
But do you know I think the
girls who who play soccer as you

208
00:11:10,529 --> 00:11:13,589
would call it in the States? I
don't know. Matt if I think

209
00:11:13,589 --> 00:11:17,609
they're hot looking. Yeah, well,
that's fine. Yeah. So that means

210
00:11:17,609 --> 00:11:20,459
that game is is a good a good
game. It could be on television

211
00:11:20,459 --> 00:11:23,639
more often. It's like field
hockey, women's field hockey.

212
00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:25,980
Ah, oh, we just have naked
volleyball.

213
00:11:26,010 --> 00:11:29,250
No, no, no, no. See? See. That's
the typical American way. No,

214
00:11:29,250 --> 00:11:32,220
for nationals. It'd be like
beach volleyball. You know, here

215
00:11:32,220 --> 00:11:34,680
in Europe is like, yeah, we
know. We know what's hot. We got

216
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:38,100
our women's football. And then
we've got the women's field

217
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:43,410
hockey. I see you can't get into
it.

218
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,220
Tennis. Maybe. So you'll like
this.

219
00:11:48,630 --> 00:11:54,360
Martina Navratilova is on the
current episode of I'm a

220
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,860
celebrity. Get me out of here.
And she's great along with you

221
00:11:58,860 --> 00:12:03,630
love this. George Takei. Oh, oh.
Oh, Adel.

222
00:12:04,650 --> 00:12:05,760
Ga gay. I'm

223
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,030
hooked on the show. Once again.
What a great cast.

224
00:12:10,020 --> 00:12:11,370
You watch too much television?

225
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,540
No, I do not.

226
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,240
I'm watching the television over
here. Of course, I get to watch

227
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,280
your own news, which I'm gonna
have to get a feed of or

228
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,440
something because I think is
quite interesting, even though

229
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,410
they made this little
repetitious. So the you know, I

230
00:12:22,410 --> 00:12:24,180
got the biggest kick out of a
couple of things. I've been

231
00:12:24,180 --> 00:12:26,430
seeing wish they hadn't really
been played much in the States.

232
00:12:26,430 --> 00:12:29,430
But apparently they had you
probably saw this and I don't

233
00:12:29,430 --> 00:12:32,730
know if you noticed it or not.
But Merkel came into Italy to

234
00:12:32,730 --> 00:12:36,060
visit Berlusconi who was sick, I
guess. And, and he was gonna

235
00:12:36,060 --> 00:12:38,730
surprise everybody by standing
on the sidelines as they walked

236
00:12:38,730 --> 00:12:42,990
in. Yeah. So they're, so they're
showing this film. There's

237
00:12:42,990 --> 00:12:44,550
Merkel, the German

238
00:12:45,900 --> 00:12:48,330
Prime Minister, chancellor,
Chancellor Merkel, yes,

239
00:12:48,330 --> 00:12:48,810
Chancellor

240
00:12:49,260 --> 00:12:51,900
comes rolling in and with with a
couple of assistants and one of

241
00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:54,060
her aides looks over to the
right as they're walking toward

242
00:12:54,060 --> 00:12:57,990
the door. And there's Berlusconi
standing by the, in the kind of

243
00:12:57,990 --> 00:13:02,190
the side, like watching them go
in. Right. And he's awesome. So

244
00:13:02,190 --> 00:13:04,920
he just oh, you know, when he
starts going over to, you know,

245
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,840
to shake his hand or whatever,
Merkel sees him and she

246
00:13:10,470 --> 00:13:14,460
literally shoves the guy, her
assistant, whoever it is damn

247
00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:20,610
near shoves him to the ground,
to get to Berlusconi. First I

248
00:13:20,610 --> 00:13:25,650
have to do was just this guy,
and he never gets over, even

249
00:13:25,650 --> 00:13:27,750
come over. He stands at
attention, like, you know, oops,

250
00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:29,910
I guess I made a mistake,
protocol wise or something like

251
00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:32,070
that. She just looked like such
a jerk.

252
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:34,260
Well, because they're all
falling over each other. Now,

253
00:13:34,260 --> 00:13:36,360
you know, they've had that
little meeting and they've told

254
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,780
you they gave the US 100 days to
comply with whatever Europe is

255
00:13:39,780 --> 00:13:42,480
doing. And they're all going to
solve the financial crisis.

256
00:13:42,660 --> 00:13:48,480
Angela, Silvio and, and
Nicolaas. What a joke and throw

257
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,720
in Gordon Brown and we know how
to do it. We know how to solve

258
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,810
it. We're financial financial
experts now.

259
00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:57,570
Well, we'll probably be out of
the whole thing two or three

260
00:13:57,570 --> 00:14:00,840
months before they even get into
a deep enough to make a

261
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:01,860
difference. I was so

262
00:14:01,860 --> 00:14:04,350
I was so ready to gloat
yesterday, you know, up until

263
00:14:04,350 --> 00:14:09,120
the last hour, the market was so
close to my 7286 Mark. It was

264
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,620
only like 300 points away. And
then the and then what happened?

265
00:14:13,650 --> 00:14:19,410
Oh, well, and then Barack Obama
announces his pick for for

266
00:14:19,650 --> 00:14:21,840
Treasury secretary and nothing

267
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,760
skyrocketed because they

268
00:14:24,450 --> 00:14:29,820
he's picking a reptile. Yeah, I
mean, this this guy, what's his

269
00:14:29,820 --> 00:14:30,420
name again?

270
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,380
You don't have to look it up.
And I'm gonna share with you one

271
00:14:34,380 --> 00:14:35,070
of their own.

272
00:14:35,460 --> 00:14:37,950
Well, not just one of their own
this. This guy is the he's the

273
00:14:37,950 --> 00:14:43,170
full deal, man. He's, he worked
for Disney worked for Carter.

274
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,800
He's in the Council of Foreign
Relations. He's the president of

275
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,550
the New York Federal Reserve.
And they just just goes on and

276
00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:54,090
on and on with this guy. He's
connected to everybody. There's

277
00:14:54,090 --> 00:14:55,140
no change.

278
00:14:57,540 --> 00:14:59,970
Well, there was hope for change.
Oh,

279
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,880
Oh my goodness i I'm looking it
up now because Timothy Geithner

280
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:06,510
that's his name.

281
00:15:06,539 --> 00:15:07,799
Yeah Geitner. Right. So

282
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,910
he's connected the group of 30.
Who easy amazing. Have you ever

283
00:15:11,910 --> 00:15:15,000
heard of the group of 30? These
guys is a scary little club.

284
00:15:16,199 --> 00:15:17,789
And this is just drinking clubs.

285
00:15:20,460 --> 00:15:23,490
I don't know, man, this is just
this is definitely just more of

286
00:15:23,490 --> 00:15:27,060
the same print and printable
and,

287
00:15:27,570 --> 00:15:31,710
well, this is, you know, what,
what is Barak gonna do? Well,

288
00:15:31,860 --> 00:15:36,600
essentially has to keep, you
know, everybody happy, which is

289
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,730
the group that your viewer you
hate.

290
00:15:38,850 --> 00:15:42,990
Tim Geithner also worked for
Kissinger associates for three

291
00:15:42,990 --> 00:15:49,920
years. Does that get any worse?
It really can't. Well, Barack

292
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,590
Obama, of course will be doing a
fantastic speeches because

293
00:15:52,590 --> 00:15:56,790
that's what he does vapid.
without, without, without any

294
00:15:56,790 --> 00:16:02,010
content. Rahm Emanuel, I saw one
of his rare appearances he was

295
00:16:02,730 --> 00:16:07,500
on C span he appeared before the
press. And the question was

296
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:09,510
asked specifically, you know,
well, so how are you guys going

297
00:16:09,510 --> 00:16:13,500
to pay for all this stimulus and
everything giving away? And he's

298
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:17,010
just like, an and he's another
one of these guys. Look. That's

299
00:16:17,010 --> 00:16:19,380
how I start whenever someone
says look, it's like, alright,

300
00:16:19,380 --> 00:16:22,890
you know, you're being
programmed. Look, look, listen

301
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,450
look like Look Listen. I'm gonna
tell you how it is. He doesn't

302
00:16:27,450 --> 00:16:28,950
actually answer the question of
course.

303
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,320
Of course not. Now, look,

304
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,090
look look we can there are many
things that are being spent on

305
00:16:36,090 --> 00:16:38,610
twice so we'll eliminate half of
those Look

306
00:16:39,780 --> 00:16:42,480
Look, I know look and I'm

307
00:16:43,740 --> 00:16:46,320
the owner I don't mind the on
but the look thing is getting

308
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,130
really irritating and I'm seeing
it more you hear it a lot on

309
00:16:50,130 --> 00:16:54,600
CNBC. And it's just an it's
another one of the memory you're

310
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,470
talking about. I think I believe
I think meetings that go on

311
00:16:58,470 --> 00:17:01,770
forever with people saying that
now it's just look look look and

312
00:17:01,770 --> 00:17:05,250
it's so offensive. Look Look you
fuck look over here take a look

313
00:17:05,250 --> 00:17:08,160
at me because I know what I'm
talking about look at everyone

314
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:08,700
does it

315
00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:13,530
besides look is also guess what?
And you know what? You know

316
00:17:13,530 --> 00:17:14,130
what? Yeah,

317
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,520
I don't know. I don't know what
I'm not gonna get what you know

318
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:24,240
what what it looked like listen.
We're a sad sad, sad species.

319
00:17:24,780 --> 00:17:25,950
That's pretty pathetic.

320
00:17:25,980 --> 00:17:30,360
Our language has diminished down
to having to get people's

321
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:32,610
attention with everything that
comes out of our face.

322
00:17:34,860 --> 00:17:37,470
So there was a couple other
things I wrote down some notes

323
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:39,840
during the weeks as I was
watching this stuff and

324
00:17:40,260 --> 00:17:43,950
you enjoy THE EUROPEAN NEWS. I'm
sure you're having fun. Oh yeah.

325
00:17:44,340 --> 00:17:45,570
Real change

326
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,540
it's just all different you
know? I mean, we did we don't

327
00:17:48,540 --> 00:17:52,410
get the same news at all. So
when I'm over here I'm always

328
00:17:52,410 --> 00:17:54,990
like kind of glued to the news I
don't get to watch a lot of the

329
00:17:54,990 --> 00:17:57,120
other stuff on television
because I'm always I get the

330
00:17:57,120 --> 00:17:59,640
biggest kick out of these you
know their perspective on

331
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,850
everything now and although I
did watch a lot of the I was

332
00:18:02,850 --> 00:18:06,900
watching the coverage on
Bloomberg when the market turned

333
00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:10,230
around yesterday and shot up
like a like a rock which is

334
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,820
there the church bells just
chime in the background there

335
00:18:14,820 --> 00:18:18,000
John here no was it wasn't my
church bells you sure

336
00:18:18,450 --> 00:18:21,870
ya know what it is? I did
something just set up this rig I

337
00:18:21,870 --> 00:18:25,470
brought with me it's got the
microphones not grounded right

338
00:18:25,470 --> 00:18:27,870
or something and it's it's
picking up a radio station?

339
00:18:28,950 --> 00:18:29,160
Yeah.

340
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:36,030
Hold on a second. Let me turn
let me turn off the the noise

341
00:18:36,030 --> 00:18:42,150
gate let me here yeah listen to
the station Hold on. Let me

342
00:18:42,150 --> 00:18:42,840
move the move.

343
00:18:43,860 --> 00:18:45,270
Let's see what we're picking up
hang on

344
00:18:53,910 --> 00:18:58,770
Oh, good song. If I hold the mic
straight up in the airline and

345
00:18:58,770 --> 00:19:00,780
it looks like the Statue of
Liberty. That's what it sounds

346
00:19:00,780 --> 00:19:01,020
like.

347
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,480
It was good. Now's a good
station. Could you just go back

348
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,850
and lift your left leg a little
bit because I almost had

349
00:19:06,540 --> 00:19:11,250
I can change channels that's the
problem. I gotta figure out what

350
00:19:11,250 --> 00:19:13,440
to do. I mean, although I think
what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna

351
00:19:13,650 --> 00:19:18,510
what I brought with me was a an
M audio adapter and then I got a

352
00:19:18,780 --> 00:19:20,460
Heil PR

353
00:19:21,540 --> 00:19:25,830
two or whatever you use. But you
have the Heil is you're not

354
00:19:25,830 --> 00:19:28,590
going through a USB with the
Heil. Are you going no, no,

355
00:19:28,590 --> 00:19:31,440
I'm going through the I'm taking
the high was a PR 40 am going

356
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,860
through an M audio. Yeah. The
Fast Track and then the fast

357
00:19:34,860 --> 00:19:35,970
track looks at the computer.

358
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,280
Yes. M audio is those the one
that's the thing that's not

359
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,400
shielded? I've never been happy
with M audio interfaces.

360
00:19:41,850 --> 00:19:44,310
Yeah, and there's somebody out
there can get me a better idea

361
00:19:44,310 --> 00:19:46,290
for an interface. I mean, I know
there's a couple of things that

362
00:19:46,290 --> 00:19:50,310
might work. But this thing has
got an Alicia has a few controls

363
00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:53,160
on it. So I can at least, but
what I like to do is get rid of

364
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,890
it. I mean, I like the Heil mic
a lot because it's a it's a

365
00:19:55,890 --> 00:19:58,440
dynamic mic. So you don't need a
preamp. Yep.

366
00:19:58,860 --> 00:20:01,230
And it's I use it myself. It's a
beautiful mic.

367
00:20:01,620 --> 00:20:04,050
It's a great mic, but it's a big
clunker.

368
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,930
But do you take it in the wooden
box? No, I

369
00:20:06,930 --> 00:20:09,510
just wrap it up in some bubble
wrap

370
00:20:10,410 --> 00:20:16,380
newspaper. I always put the box
in my suitcase.

371
00:20:17,609 --> 00:20:21,299
I'm going to I'm going to get a
country man or something like

372
00:20:21,299 --> 00:20:23,669
that. That's just really doesn't
you know,

373
00:20:23,670 --> 00:20:26,790
I got a lot of comments about
that. That's the that's the Mini

374
00:20:26,790 --> 00:20:29,640
Microphone that we were talking
about on last week's show. I

375
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,240
wouldn't mind trying out a
couple of those. That new

376
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,820
technology for microphones as
well. It sounds very exciting.

377
00:20:35,820 --> 00:20:36,240
Actually.

378
00:20:36,270 --> 00:20:39,960
The country man is astonishing.
I mean, it was the first time I

379
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,900
saw when I said what are you
kidding me? And you because guy

380
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:47,610
I think it's a memes. It's not a
normal microphone. So when you

381
00:20:47,610 --> 00:20:52,710
hook it up, up, first talk into
it. It sounds like this mic.

382
00:20:53,220 --> 00:20:56,940
Can't because there's no
diaphragm. So you can't believe

383
00:20:56,940 --> 00:21:00,090
that you're getting this kind of
this bass this beautiful bassy

384
00:21:00,090 --> 00:21:06,810
sound from this little bitty
minuscule little dot. And it's a

385
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,880
it's an astonishing probably
think that costs about 400

386
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:14,880
bucks. Anyway, yeah, you'd love
them. Your voice in the country

387
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,860
man would be like perfect dough.
Yeah,

388
00:21:16,860 --> 00:21:21,450
baby. How you doing? No agenda
brought to you by the Portuguese

389
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,710
cork industries and country man.
I'm just practising.

390
00:21:26,190 --> 00:21:29,970
Yeah, well, we need today when
we need to do more. There was a

391
00:21:29,970 --> 00:21:33,060
practice we need to sell these
guys. So anyway, so then I went

392
00:21:33,060 --> 00:21:36,930
to one of the big wineries which
I'll document in a is not very

393
00:21:36,930 --> 00:21:41,130
nice. And they served us lunch
and we go out the outside, you

394
00:21:41,130 --> 00:21:43,380
know, this was a range too. So
you go out there and I'm looking

395
00:21:43,380 --> 00:21:45,840
at they have the they have the
outside. There's a huge place.

396
00:21:46,170 --> 00:21:52,080
They have a Portuguese flag. EU
flag the flag of the state or

397
00:21:52,110 --> 00:21:56,820
the winery and then us a flag.
It turned out they put that USA

398
00:21:56,850 --> 00:21:59,310
flag just I was Yeah, because
you were there. Sure. I thought

399
00:21:59,310 --> 00:22:01,380
it was just going to be there
all the time. I thought it was

400
00:22:01,380 --> 00:22:01,890
baffled.

401
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,890
Do you speak any Portuguese? No,
it's

402
00:22:04,890 --> 00:22:08,070
almost impossible. I mean, if
you speak speak a little Spanish

403
00:22:08,070 --> 00:22:09,060
now. I mean, this even

404
00:22:09,090 --> 00:22:11,490
even that throws you off. You
can't you cannot think you can

405
00:22:11,490 --> 00:22:13,920
speak any Portuguese by speaking
some Spanish.

406
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,590
Now it's impossible. And then
they they pronounce everything

407
00:22:16,590 --> 00:22:20,490
totally different. It's just the
but you can read it rather

408
00:22:20,490 --> 00:22:23,550
easily. Is it like a really easy
language to pick up? If you want

409
00:22:23,550 --> 00:22:24,450
to just read stuff?

410
00:22:24,479 --> 00:22:29,579
If you can find someone there?
Who's over 40? John, I'm sure

411
00:22:29,579 --> 00:22:33,869
you're hanging out with lots of
them. Portuguese who have been

412
00:22:33,869 --> 00:22:38,549
in Portugal all their life ask
was doing res at the cheese

413
00:22:38,549 --> 00:22:44,879
whistle. Go on. Ask them if they
remember Adam curry. Oh,

414
00:22:44,939 --> 00:22:51,509
seriously. Okay, from from
Europa television. Now, okay.

415
00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:57,149
Because in in AD, AD three or so
I was on. Like, every day for an

416
00:22:57,149 --> 00:23:02,129
hour in the afternoon all of a
sudden on on the terrestrial RTP

417
00:23:02,129 --> 00:23:05,669
two. Oh, yeah, they probably
remember you. Well, I don't

418
00:23:05,669 --> 00:23:10,379
know. They've got they gotta be
over at least 35 or 40. I don't

419
00:23:10,379 --> 00:23:16,709
know cordial would be my name.
either. Oh, cordial. Head. Oh,

420
00:23:16,709 --> 00:23:20,069
call the old cordial Adam curry.

421
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,010
So yeah, you're gonna go out and
start soliciting. You want some

422
00:23:26,010 --> 00:23:28,860
dirty words you want some nasty
stuff to say unfortunately as to

423
00:23:28,860 --> 00:23:31,080
me leaving tomorrow, so it's not
going to be like I'm gonna use

424
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,640
it. And obviously, a lot of
Booker's around here anyway.

425
00:23:38,910 --> 00:23:42,420
You know, they're, they're
making a new law in the United

426
00:23:42,420 --> 00:23:45,240
Kingdom, which has been all the
news for the past couple days,

427
00:23:45,270 --> 00:23:50,850
of course. Although they are not
going for a complete outright

428
00:23:50,850 --> 00:23:56,040
ban on prostitution, they are
making it a serious offence, and

429
00:23:56,100 --> 00:23:59,790
it could get you jail time will
certainly get you, as they say,

430
00:23:59,790 --> 00:24:03,450
as they say named and shamed.
Which means though, they'll put

431
00:24:03,450 --> 00:24:09,600
your picture in the newspaper,
it's getting crazy. If you if

432
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:09,990
you

433
00:24:11,130 --> 00:24:12,720
talk to a prostitute now, if you
have

434
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:20,250
sex with a prostitute who was
either a sex slave be seriously

435
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,810
if the girl first

436
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:28,050
please answer this question
there. Yeah, it's the it's like,

437
00:24:28,950 --> 00:24:32,040
it's crazy. I don't understand
how they're gonna do it. This is

438
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,370
this is the big conversation.
Exactly what you just said. So

439
00:24:35,370 --> 00:24:37,890
okay, so we're not allowed to
have sex with prostitutes who

440
00:24:37,890 --> 00:24:43,050
are enslaved or have a pimp. But
how do we know? And ignorance by

441
00:24:43,050 --> 00:24:45,330
the way will not be accepted as
an excuse.

442
00:24:47,070 --> 00:24:51,030
I think you have to make him
sign a contract. If this is not

443
00:24:51,270 --> 00:24:53,670
the graph that you get, you run
into the prostitute, you're

444
00:24:53,670 --> 00:24:57,660
figuring out what's going on
below. You have to have a stock

445
00:24:57,690 --> 00:25:01,470
contract in your pocket. Yeah.
out. And you say, Look, lady,

446
00:25:01,950 --> 00:25:05,610
I'm all for this right now read
this over, sign it and we'll,

447
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:06,390
we'll talk

448
00:25:07,859 --> 00:25:10,229
you're gonna get this in the
United States as well, I'm sure.

449
00:25:10,379 --> 00:25:13,109
No, actually we didn't certain
segment of this already happened

450
00:25:13,109 --> 00:25:16,199
in certain areas. I mean,
there's there's various local

451
00:25:16,199 --> 00:25:21,419
laws for example in California
if you although this is this

452
00:25:21,449 --> 00:25:24,239
these laws are like, like
communist laws you know,

453
00:25:24,239 --> 00:25:28,919
they're, they're enforced on an
as needed basis in other words

454
00:25:28,919 --> 00:25:31,679
if they want to screw you
they'll enforce they

455
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,860
can use it yeah if they want to
nail you like Spitzer then then

456
00:25:34,860 --> 00:25:37,140
also that really important
stuff. Yeah, I got you.

457
00:25:37,409 --> 00:25:42,749
So like in California, they have
if you if there's a prostitute

458
00:25:42,749 --> 00:25:45,089
on the corner and you drive your
car up and you solicit or she

459
00:25:45,089 --> 00:25:48,599
gets in and she's happens to be
a cop, then they can impound

460
00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:52,349
your car and keep it they can
keep the car course and

461
00:25:52,350 --> 00:25:54,960
why not? Because it was used for
an illegal act.

462
00:25:57,300 --> 00:26:03,420
My car, you know what? I always
tell people to use renters. You

463
00:26:03,420 --> 00:26:05,820
got some old clunker you gotta
get rid of a nobody.

464
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,180
Right? Because it would cost you
500 bucks just to get rid of

465
00:26:09,180 --> 00:26:13,290
it. You have to confiscate it.
But you know, I really don't

466
00:26:13,290 --> 00:26:16,620
understand it hasn't. Have they
ever done any research on on

467
00:26:16,620 --> 00:26:19,410
prostitution? I mean, yes, of
course, there's a tremendous

468
00:26:19,410 --> 00:26:22,980
sex, or there's tremendous
slavery issues in general,

469
00:26:22,980 --> 00:26:26,160
certainly in the United Kingdom.
And I'm talking about sex slaves

470
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,480
as just slaves over here. These
racist British, I just going to

471
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,770
say it. But have you ever looked
at a society like the

472
00:26:34,770 --> 00:26:38,520
Netherlands as an example where
legal prostitution actually

473
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,810
works? You know, this is here in
the United Kingdom, highest

474
00:26:42,810 --> 00:26:45,720
divorce rate, highest teen
pregnancy rate.

475
00:26:45,810 --> 00:26:48,180
Now, this has been studied to
death. In fact, Nevada, which

476
00:26:48,180 --> 00:26:52,170
word is legal? They you know,
they have the lowest sex crime

477
00:26:52,170 --> 00:26:55,830
rate in the country. They have,
you know, the divorce rates, not

478
00:26:55,830 --> 00:26:57,630
yet wouldn't have a high divorce
rate because people go there for

479
00:26:57,630 --> 00:27:00,360
quick divorces. But besides
this, it had nothing to do with

480
00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:04,140
the locals. And no, it's already
been studied to death. And it's

481
00:27:04,140 --> 00:27:08,040
a known fact that where you have
legal prostitution, you don't

482
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,000
have a lot of other sex crimes,
basically, like the rapes are

483
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,960
way down. And Rome was
negligible as a matter of fact.

484
00:27:15,990 --> 00:27:19,680
Yeah. And yeah, but that's
beside the point, because it's a

485
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:20,100
sin.

486
00:27:21,540 --> 00:27:22,980
Now, it's a religious thing.
Hmm.

487
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,120
That's the thinking. Yeah. I
mean, they but what's weird to

488
00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:31,260
me, here's a classic example of
the kind of strange skewed

489
00:27:31,260 --> 00:27:35,100
thinking. So this last election
in San Francisco, they put it on

490
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:37,410
the ballot to legalise
prostitution within the city

491
00:27:37,410 --> 00:27:40,650
limits. Yeah. And I guess within
a year, I think this would have

492
00:27:40,650 --> 00:27:43,290
been overturned by the state
anyway, because of state law.

493
00:27:43,530 --> 00:27:47,130
But that's beside the point that
they couldn't even pass it would

494
00:27:47,130 --> 00:27:50,160
last 60 to 40. Somebody that so
here we have this, probably the

495
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,340
most liberal city in the entire
state of California outside of

496
00:27:53,610 --> 00:27:56,970
Berkeley, which was never tried
to pass something like this. And

497
00:27:56,970 --> 00:27:57,060
the

498
00:27:57,060 --> 00:28:00,810
funny thing is that vote no. And
when you so so prostitution

499
00:28:00,810 --> 00:28:04,620
illegal in California, and then
you look at you look at one of

500
00:28:04,620 --> 00:28:07,530
the big industries in Southern
California, you know that the

501
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,830
the root word for actress in
Latin, is the same as

502
00:28:10,830 --> 00:28:11,520
prostitute.

503
00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:15,810
I think I didn't know that. And
that's why I think one of the

504
00:28:15,810 --> 00:28:18,630
reasons that actors and
actresses were always considered

505
00:28:19,260 --> 00:28:21,000
love low class.

506
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,350
Yeah, absolutely. Well, actually
not low class high, high class

507
00:28:25,350 --> 00:28:26,940
extremely well paid hookers.

508
00:28:27,810 --> 00:28:33,180
Yeah. And so yeah, that's why I
think it was a lot of well to do

509
00:28:33,180 --> 00:28:36,750
families yet the they, you know,
they didn't like their children.

510
00:28:37,290 --> 00:28:39,690
Move to the left a little bit,
John. I'm picking up too much.

511
00:28:40,620 --> 00:28:47,880
Too much of Lisbon. of the
Lisbon morning Zoo. Yeah, there

512
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,240
we go. Well, anyway, it just
irks me. And the thing that I

513
00:28:51,270 --> 00:28:54,390
that just pisses me off is you
know, everyone's pontificating

514
00:28:54,390 --> 00:28:57,330
about oh, it's because there's
so many women enslaved in the

515
00:28:57,330 --> 00:29:01,230
sex trade. Oh, ghost, go bust
those sex trade rings and then

516
00:29:01,230 --> 00:29:06,420
come back and buy a hooker. Now
it's like please this is I'm so

517
00:29:06,420 --> 00:29:09,930
against this this movement. It
just It really pisses me off

518
00:29:10,260 --> 00:29:12,120
having grown up with
prostitutes.

519
00:29:13,140 --> 00:29:15,960
Yeah, well in the Netherlands is
a good example of the you know

520
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,470
how the system can work fine.
Nobody cares. But

521
00:29:19,860 --> 00:29:23,340
no, in fact, it's seen as
healthy it's seen as a part of

522
00:29:23,370 --> 00:29:27,150
of a healthy lifestyle. It mean
to a degree obviously.

523
00:29:27,270 --> 00:29:30,000
Yeah, well, it's better than a
bunch of people with pent up

524
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,930
sexual frustration Ruhlman
around the day crumpled

525
00:29:33,930 --> 00:29:37,380
up and can killing people and
going crazy. Yeah.

526
00:29:37,949 --> 00:29:41,159
Yeah. Well, it's just not going
to happen. And I think that San

527
00:29:41,159 --> 00:29:44,549
Francisco votes a good example
of how deeply ingrained this

528
00:29:44,549 --> 00:29:48,089
this kind of attitude it is. We
have the most liberal city you

529
00:29:48,089 --> 00:29:51,119
can imagine and they can't even
muster enough votes to

530
00:29:51,150 --> 00:29:54,300
meanwhile, it's a joke. I mean,
it's not like you like there's

531
00:29:54,300 --> 00:29:58,680
no sex trade going on. Right.
Thank God for the internet.

532
00:30:00,599 --> 00:30:02,639
Well, Chris now the latest thing
is they're cracking down on

533
00:30:02,639 --> 00:30:07,889
Craigslist, which is the was the
conduit for for a lot of the

534
00:30:07,889 --> 00:30:15,209
erotic services ads. Yeah,
erotic services. Yeah. And you

535
00:30:15,209 --> 00:30:17,969
know, you could go over there
and look at these erotic

536
00:30:17,969 --> 00:30:19,739
services and it was just a bunch
of hookers.

537
00:30:20,310 --> 00:30:23,010
But it's not just a bunch of
hawkers you know, that's like

538
00:30:23,010 --> 00:30:25,620
buncha hookers. Yeah, it's a
bunch of hookers and they're

539
00:30:25,620 --> 00:30:30,120
visiting and then you know they
don't solicit money John bounce

540
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:36,030
solicit money they say no.
Roses. You're reliably informed.

541
00:30:37,980 --> 00:30:39,090
300 Roses.

542
00:30:40,650 --> 00:30:44,790
Rose. I think it'd be hilarious
for some bonehead show up

543
00:30:44,790 --> 00:30:45,810
with 300 Roses

544
00:30:48,930 --> 00:30:50,790
as my roses, so I didn't know.

545
00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:55,170
We know entirely too much about
this industry. Well,

546
00:30:55,740 --> 00:30:59,130
surrounds all over the place you
can't get around it. So well,

547
00:30:59,130 --> 00:30:59,940
what else is going on?

548
00:31:00,030 --> 00:31:02,910
Well, of course, the although
has been kind of beat to death.

549
00:31:02,910 --> 00:31:06,270
I really, particularly after
knowing a couple of venture

550
00:31:06,270 --> 00:31:11,040
capitalists who went to China to
raise money from the sovereign

551
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,880
wealth funds and flew commercial
and not in their in their

552
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,740
private jet. Because they're
smart. It was pretty funny to

553
00:31:19,740 --> 00:31:23,580
see the Big Three automakers fly
their private jets down to

554
00:31:23,580 --> 00:31:26,430
Washington to beg for money. Oh,
that

555
00:31:26,430 --> 00:31:27,060
is funny.

556
00:31:27,210 --> 00:31:31,110
You didn't follow this. He
didn't know. I didn't. Oh, man,

557
00:31:31,110 --> 00:31:31,260
this

558
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,000
must have been a story that

559
00:31:33,179 --> 00:31:39,629
oh, this is this is a big story.
Absolutely. And it's it's just

560
00:31:39,629 --> 00:31:42,089
funny. It's you know, it's but
what's kind of happening? It's

561
00:31:42,089 --> 00:31:45,839
the same thing where we're all
angry. Everyone's angry. And

562
00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:49,289
instead of venting our anger at
the real evil people ie Hank

563
00:31:49,289 --> 00:31:53,429
Paulson, Neel Kashkari, while
I'm at the entire Senate who

564
00:31:53,429 --> 00:31:56,159
passed the stupid bailout bill,
everyone's now saying, Oh, this

565
00:31:56,159 --> 00:31:59,369
bailout Bill was, was wrong,
it's all going wrong. It's not

566
00:31:59,369 --> 00:32:02,249
working, we should have known
better. And so they're looking

567
00:32:02,249 --> 00:32:04,799
for a scapegoat. And as we
discussed a couple of weeks ago,

568
00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:07,979
in the United Kingdom, they went
for the government employee,

569
00:32:07,979 --> 00:32:11,909
Jonathan Ross, who was a
television talk show host and a

570
00:32:11,909 --> 00:32:14,219
making a lot of money and so you
know, then they get all pissed

571
00:32:14,219 --> 00:32:17,009
off at him. And so now it's
like, oh, let's get some pissed

572
00:32:17,009 --> 00:32:18,959
off at someone else. You know,
instead of the actual the

573
00:32:18,959 --> 00:32:21,839
bankers, they're the ones we
need to be pissed off at. But

574
00:32:21,839 --> 00:32:24,989
the you know, but no one's angry
or we don't know who to yell at,

575
00:32:24,989 --> 00:32:27,779
I guess. I don't know. So we're
just grabbing anybody and of

576
00:32:27,779 --> 00:32:30,779
course, you know, can you
imagine the jokes that are

577
00:32:30,779 --> 00:32:34,859
floating around you know, your
flight it was I think each of

578
00:32:34,859 --> 00:32:38,639
these planes cost at least
$8,000 an hour just to operate

579
00:32:39,479 --> 00:32:42,149
now so everyone's Oh, you have
to

580
00:32:42,150 --> 00:32:46,020
wonder what kind of boneheads
these guys obviously do not

581
00:32:46,020 --> 00:32:49,770
think like people with any with
a public relations clue.

582
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,480
Exactly. Can't go flying around
in a private jet begging for

583
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,020
money.

584
00:32:55,050 --> 00:32:58,710
And by the way, this is not just
this is not and I will give them

585
00:32:58,710 --> 00:33:01,800
this it's not like the US auto
industry is the only auto

586
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,910
industry that's in trouble. Opel
is about to get a huge bailout

587
00:33:05,910 --> 00:33:11,250
from from the German government.
And a very sad note, John, the

588
00:33:11,250 --> 00:33:15,330
very last Hugo rolled off the
line earlier this week. Yeah,

589
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:16,950
Hugo is dead no more Hugo

590
00:33:16,980 --> 00:33:20,700
de last Hugo limped off the
line. I owned a Hugo station

591
00:33:20,790 --> 00:33:22,800
actually as it came off, the
tires blew out.

592
00:33:23,610 --> 00:33:25,650
It collapsed. The axle broke

593
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:30,090
they went to tested to pull the
door door came out. Last year

594
00:33:30,090 --> 00:33:30,420
ago

595
00:33:31,230 --> 00:33:34,170
I owned a Hugo was one of my
first cars it was alright man.

596
00:33:34,350 --> 00:33:40,020
It pretty much did as
advertised. Yeah. Yeah, roll

597
00:33:40,020 --> 00:33:41,040
That's exactly it.

598
00:33:43,290 --> 00:33:50,370
It's just no loss there. So
anyway, the deal couple things

599
00:33:50,370 --> 00:33:53,010
kind of controversial, because
the the Germans are worried

600
00:33:53,010 --> 00:33:54,900
sick, that they're going to give
them the billion bucks, but

601
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:57,240
because they're owned by General
Motors, General Motors is gonna

602
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,540
take it, take the money, say
fuck you, of course.

603
00:34:01,380 --> 00:34:03,180
Do you have an opinion? And do
you have an opinion on this?

604
00:34:03,180 --> 00:34:06,750
Because I mean, I've been pretty
clear in, in daily source code

605
00:34:06,930 --> 00:34:10,410
about what I think should happen
here. What's your opinion on on

606
00:34:10,410 --> 00:34:13,620
the concept of a bailout for the
for the US auto industry, or at

607
00:34:13,620 --> 00:34:16,740
least the unionised auto
industry in the US, I should

608
00:34:16,740 --> 00:34:21,720
say, it's not Toyota and, and,
and Honda, who were who were in

609
00:34:21,720 --> 00:34:24,330
line for a bailout who aren't
that's pretty much American made

610
00:34:24,330 --> 00:34:26,190
cars that made in America.

611
00:34:27,510 --> 00:34:31,350
My thinking is, is that if this
is in the form of a loan that is

612
00:34:31,350 --> 00:34:34,560
secured, I don't have a problem
with it. And I think most of

613
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,370
this bailout is actually a loan.
It's not like a giveaway, like

614
00:34:38,370 --> 00:34:41,310
the bankers are getting. I mean,
they're getting, you know,

615
00:34:42,300 --> 00:34:45,360
essentially, Paulson when he did
it part of his deal, he took

616
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,240
some stock from the preferred
stock from some of the banks

617
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:51,330
that they give money to, but in
fact, no matters. his buddies

618
00:34:51,330 --> 00:34:52,980
that were in the on the
investment community, we're

619
00:34:52,980 --> 00:34:56,100
getting the same, doing the same
buy in and getting a much better

620
00:34:56,100 --> 00:34:59,760
deal so he essentially screwed
the American public. Bye, bye

621
00:34:59,790 --> 00:35:00,210
bye. Give

622
00:35:00,210 --> 00:35:02,520
you a lousy deal. Yeah, get a

623
00:35:02,519 --> 00:35:09,119
lousy deal. And draw obviously
for whatever reason. So it was

624
00:35:09,149 --> 00:35:13,469
kind of a giveaway with the auto
auto companies, you can't you

625
00:35:13,469 --> 00:35:15,119
can't really give them any money
you can just

626
00:35:15,779 --> 00:35:18,239
but your reason for that, and
your reason for that would be

627
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,839
the United States Government
lender of last resort. This

628
00:35:21,839 --> 00:35:24,659
industry is too big to fail.
That's basically your your

629
00:35:24,659 --> 00:35:25,289
position.

630
00:35:25,889 --> 00:35:29,069
Well, yeah, I mean, it's one of
these. This is another example

631
00:35:29,069 --> 00:35:31,949
of letting things get too big
and fake. They're talking about

632
00:35:31,949 --> 00:35:35,309
this on the Bloomberg and CNBC
just recently about Citibank,

633
00:35:35,309 --> 00:35:38,129
which is down at three bucks a
share, which is hilarious. Yeah.

634
00:35:38,489 --> 00:35:42,359
And talking about, is it too big
to fail? It's too big to fail.

635
00:35:42,359 --> 00:35:46,499
How did you think where is, this
is the reason we had antitrust

636
00:35:46,499 --> 00:35:50,519
laws. So you don't have these
monstrosities that are too big

637
00:35:50,519 --> 00:35:53,789
to fail. So you end up with
like, instead of having a lot of

638
00:35:53,789 --> 00:35:56,429
little companies that do the
same work, I mean, there used to

639
00:35:56,429 --> 00:35:58,739
be laws in the United States
where you couldn't have a bank

640
00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:02,309
in more than one state. You
couldn't have a national bank,

641
00:36:02,309 --> 00:36:04,259
you couldn't have the Bank of
America could have its offices

642
00:36:04,259 --> 00:36:07,229
in California, but it couldn't
have Bank of America, you know,

643
00:36:07,259 --> 00:36:10,589
ATM machines and offices in, you
know, North Carolina, which is

644
00:36:10,589 --> 00:36:13,529
where they're headquartered now,
or all over the country. And

645
00:36:13,529 --> 00:36:16,679
we'd like Citibank, does it it
had to be it, but Oh, no, let's

646
00:36:16,679 --> 00:36:19,349
change that. And so they want
you to do it, you cut the thing

647
00:36:19,349 --> 00:36:23,129
loose and let everybody just
join up. If you start to get

648
00:36:23,129 --> 00:36:26,639
these huge monstrosities that
get to be too big to fail, and

649
00:36:26,639 --> 00:36:28,949
then they can abuse the
situation, because hey, what are

650
00:36:28,949 --> 00:36:32,159
they going to do? We're too big
to fail. Right? And this is the

651
00:36:32,159 --> 00:36:34,259
problem with the with the auto
industry, why did they let these

652
00:36:34,259 --> 00:36:37,859
guys buy each other out? And
form these giant corporations

653
00:36:37,859 --> 00:36:40,319
that are too big to fail at this
is the problem, then this is

654
00:36:40,319 --> 00:36:42,899
what antitrust was all about.
This is why everyone talks about

655
00:36:42,899 --> 00:36:46,289
why small businesses are better
than big monsters. And but yet

656
00:36:46,289 --> 00:36:48,989
this does let us go on because
it's like, you know, there's

657
00:36:48,989 --> 00:36:51,179
money in it for somebody, but
obviously, it's Congress. I

658
00:36:51,179 --> 00:36:52,439
blame Congress for the whole
thing?

659
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:57,510
Well, well, of course, we have.
Obviously, our Congress has been

660
00:36:57,510 --> 00:37:02,460
underperforming for quite some
time. But I really got to take

661
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,910
an opposite stance on this. I
mean, I presume that you're

662
00:37:05,910 --> 00:37:09,120
saying too big to fail. I mean,
in, in the case of the

663
00:37:09,150 --> 00:37:12,360
government sponsored enterprises
like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac,

664
00:37:12,630 --> 00:37:15,840
no, there was a there was a
guarantee that was implied. And

665
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,450
of course, now it had to become
explicit. And that's really just

666
00:37:18,450 --> 00:37:21,780
government banks. And in the in
the City Bank, I'm not quite

667
00:37:21,780 --> 00:37:25,830
sure why that's too big to fail.
But the audio industry, the only

668
00:37:25,830 --> 00:37:29,310
reason the only reason being
given that it's too big to fail

669
00:37:29,310 --> 00:37:31,980
was because it could potentially
put millions of people out of

670
00:37:31,980 --> 00:37:32,520
work.

671
00:37:33,329 --> 00:37:35,939
Well, the real fear is that it's
going to take all the real

672
00:37:35,939 --> 00:37:40,169
problem is of course, the people
in the pensions, and have long,

673
00:37:40,530 --> 00:37:43,530
so explain. So explain this to
me for a second. Okay. So is it

674
00:37:43,530 --> 00:37:46,800
then not the case? If because, I
mean, I see I see the sob

675
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,790
stories, you know, and I feel
horrible obviously. People said

676
00:37:50,790 --> 00:37:53,130
all my pension is going to get
ruined. I live on my my General

677
00:37:53,130 --> 00:37:55,890
Motors pension. Well, how does
that work? These guys are then

678
00:37:55,890 --> 00:37:58,170
clearly spending people's
pension money.

679
00:38:00,570 --> 00:38:01,380
Apparently,

680
00:38:01,710 --> 00:38:05,640
well, so shouldn't that the look
that anything else

681
00:38:05,639 --> 00:38:06,599
jail? Do you think of

682
00:38:06,599 --> 00:38:08,879
that? Yes, of course. That's

683
00:38:09,900 --> 00:38:12,540
that I think he's I think a lot
of these executives should have

684
00:38:12,540 --> 00:38:16,860
been thrown in the slammer years
ago. I think is somebody at some

685
00:38:16,860 --> 00:38:18,840
point, you know, these guys are
really pushing their luck. I

686
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,660
mean, I am stunned. I mean,
here's the in here. Let's go

687
00:38:21,660 --> 00:38:26,910
back to this. Martha Stewart did
time. Yeah, for what? Yeah.

688
00:38:27,030 --> 00:38:29,280
Oh, what Mark Cuban's about to
do the same thing.

689
00:38:30,750 --> 00:38:32,010
He'll probably get out of it.

690
00:38:32,220 --> 00:38:35,730
I don't think so. No, I, I've
been reading No, she never did

691
00:38:35,730 --> 00:38:38,010
time for it doing anything
wrong. She did time for like not

692
00:38:38,010 --> 00:38:41,160
telling the truth to some
government, you know,

693
00:38:41,879 --> 00:38:44,999
that's called obstruct
obstruction of justice. Right.

694
00:38:45,270 --> 00:38:47,610
And these cops made an example
out of her. But I mean, these

695
00:38:47,610 --> 00:38:50,940
guys are like screwing with
everybody. And they're not going

696
00:38:50,940 --> 00:38:53,490
to do any time and they should
probably all be in jail. Well,

697
00:38:53,490 --> 00:38:53,670
if you

698
00:38:53,669 --> 00:38:57,449
read the Mark Cuban story, which
is also about us, it's almost

699
00:38:57,449 --> 00:39:02,309
like a Martha Stewart case also
involves phone taps, etc. I'm

700
00:39:02,339 --> 00:39:05,339
from what I'm understanding this
could be a vindictive move by

701
00:39:05,339 --> 00:39:08,849
the Justice Department is
someone particularly against

702
00:39:08,849 --> 00:39:13,889
Mark Cuban Mark Cuban's
involvement in 911 loose change

703
00:39:13,889 --> 00:39:17,129
the movie and that's why they're
nailing them to the wall and

704
00:39:17,129 --> 00:39:17,639
something

705
00:39:20,789 --> 00:39:25,859
you really come off the left you
like that one a good I get I

706
00:39:25,859 --> 00:39:28,439
would have dealt with the Yeah,
I think that's the only reason

707
00:39:28,439 --> 00:39:29,699
people listen to this show.

708
00:39:29,699 --> 00:39:31,649
No, wait a minute. I'm telling
you man there's like there's

709
00:39:31,649 --> 00:39:34,379
like something else from the
transcripts that someone dug up

710
00:39:34,379 --> 00:39:35,279
I'd have to look for it.

711
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,970
Well if you can find the smoking
gun in there that's already

712
00:39:38,970 --> 00:39:41,820
evidence of smoking and or what
they you know what you would

713
00:39:41,820 --> 00:39:44,430
perceive as one I'd be
interested in blogging that at

714
00:39:44,430 --> 00:39:48,210
least, but yeah, as me Who
knows, I mean, Cuban is kind of

715
00:39:48,210 --> 00:39:53,250
an obnoxious character. You
know, I liked that guy. I think

716
00:39:53,250 --> 00:39:56,580
he's funny and I think he's done
a good he's good for

717
00:39:58,949 --> 00:40:03,179
pisses me off. Is he sold
absolute shit to Yahoo every me

718
00:40:03,209 --> 00:40:05,669
the guys all right and I like
his HD net and I like his

719
00:40:05,669 --> 00:40:09,809
basketball team. I like your
because he got away with one he

720
00:40:09,809 --> 00:40:14,249
got away with a big one. Uh I
mean the broadcast.com was

721
00:40:14,279 --> 00:40:15,179
bullshit,

722
00:40:15,449 --> 00:40:19,439
ya know, and he got 3 billion,
billion dollars. Nothing.

723
00:40:19,469 --> 00:40:23,219
That's the only thing that
really really pisses me off is

724
00:40:23,219 --> 00:40:24,629
like Yeah. Oh, come on.

725
00:40:25,230 --> 00:40:26,340
Yeah, who are we kidding?

726
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,280
And he's got Yeah, he's got big
fuck you money as we say.

727
00:40:30,809 --> 00:40:35,459
Yeah, he does and but he's you
know, at least he's at least

728
00:40:35,459 --> 00:40:39,089
he's done something with it
that's, you know, not

729
00:40:39,119 --> 00:40:41,879
detrimental to the public trust
I

730
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,460
think he's on lots of goods and
I love reading his stuff. You

731
00:40:44,460 --> 00:40:45,300
know, I like

732
00:40:45,510 --> 00:40:49,380
his blog. He's good blogger and
interesting character. But yeah,

733
00:40:49,410 --> 00:40:51,690
there's he may have done
something to you know, because

734
00:40:51,690 --> 00:40:54,000
when you have that kind of
money, you have to have some

735
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,180
responsibility to the, to the
shadow government as you'd put

736
00:40:57,180 --> 00:41:03,390
it. Oh, yeah. And you can't be
you know, finances stuff that

737
00:41:03,390 --> 00:41:05,130
they don't want you to deal
with.

738
00:41:05,730 --> 00:41:11,070
Here it is. Okay, well, it's
from Lew rockwell.com. If that

739
00:41:11,070 --> 00:41:11,430
go there

740
00:41:11,429 --> 00:41:17,099
too. Brandt's has the other one.

741
00:41:19,079 --> 00:41:23,609
He has a New York Times key
excerpts of a email

742
00:41:23,609 --> 00:41:28,439
correspondence. And it is it's
it's all about the loose change

743
00:41:28,439 --> 00:41:28,889
movie

744
00:41:29,969 --> 00:41:32,639
they use cheat sheets that we
talked about that what what is

745
00:41:32,639 --> 00:41:34,739
loose change again? Is that that
truce or saying

746
00:41:34,889 --> 00:41:40,919
yeah, that's the one that
Charlie Sheen did the the voice

747
00:41:40,949 --> 00:41:41,969
narration for

748
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,869
Yeah, I must have seen it but I
can't remember it let's change

749
00:41:45,869 --> 00:41:52,139
this is probably one of the you
know the foundations of the of

750
00:41:52,139 --> 00:41:55,799
the truth or video movement if
you will. It's one of those that

751
00:41:55,799 --> 00:41:58,319
you know everyone that that woke
a lot of people out there and

752
00:41:58,319 --> 00:42:02,129
there's your I just Skyped you

00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,370
you're not in the States.

768
00:42:57,869 --> 00:43:01,259
Yeah, yeah. Well, it's nice over

unbelievable. You so you didn't

770
00:43:04,079 --> 00:43:06,539
know Europe was having such
fantastic weather right now.

771
00:43:06,659 --> 00:43:10,619
Well, they're not how you're
doing here. You're only the

772
00:43:10,619 --> 00:43:13,469
third world portion of Europe is
having fantastic weather. We

773
00:43:13,469 --> 00:43:17,369
have real shit here. We got
blustery winds snow flurries

774
00:43:17,369 --> 00:43:17,939
we've had

775
00:43:18,599 --> 00:43:20,999
like 73 When I left California.

776
00:43:21,090 --> 00:43:25,470
Yeah, I know. Now it's not it's

789
00:44:03,450 --> 00:44:07,950
this in your suitcase. Now I'm
I'm afraid that my wife has

790
00:44:07,950 --> 00:44:14,160
actually embarked on a later in
life stage career that is just

791
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:18,480
at the beginning of its meteoric
rise. I mean, she's got like

792
00:44:18,690 --> 00:44:21,330
eight producers a day calling
her out we want you to do this

793
00:44:21,330 --> 00:44:23,940
show can you please do what got
this weekly show over the head?

794
00:44:23,940 --> 00:44:26,940
This is this is gonna be great.
This is no this is written for

795
00:44:26,940 --> 00:44:30,090
you. This is perfect. And it's
just one offer after the other

796
00:44:30,090 --> 00:44:31,470
it's unbelievable.

797
00:44:31,739 --> 00:44:34,739
Just take the highest money
offer in your the likelihood of

798
00:44:34,739 --> 00:44:37,259
another hit. You know, it's
pretty rare and television I am

799
00:44:37,289 --> 00:44:41,849
I am so looking forward to you
meeting my wife because she

800
00:44:41,849 --> 00:44:42,839
thinks just like you

801
00:44:44,219 --> 00:44:45,089
take the money and

802
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,630
it's like, I ain't doing shit
and listens for a lot of money.

803
00:44:49,380 --> 00:44:51,900
Like that's right, baby. Let me
show you the picture of that

804
00:44:51,900 --> 00:44:56,010
jet. I'm looking at. I showed it
to you one more time. Man. I got

805
00:44:56,010 --> 00:44:59,160
offered the Fortis bank jet the
other day

806
00:45:00,510 --> 00:45:01,800
Oh, really? Yeah, $5

807
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,880
million. It's a $12 million
aircraft, they're selling it for

808
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:06,930
5 million.

809
00:45:07,500 --> 00:45:11,070
You know, the maintenance is a
little rough on those things. Ya

810
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,410
know, I mean, if you can't
afford the maintenance, then you

811
00:45:13,410 --> 00:45:15,810
shouldn't have the plane at all.
But I'm just saying that a $12

812
00:45:15,810 --> 00:45:21,030
million aircraft being offered
to the bank's clients. 5 million

813
00:45:21,060 --> 00:45:24,420
that's a bad so even though
they're owned by the Dutch

814
00:45:24,420 --> 00:45:27,180
government at this point, or the
Dutch and Belgian governments or

815
00:45:27,180 --> 00:45:28,020
whoever owns them,

816
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:32,159
it's a fire sale. They call that
to hell. Yeah. Oh, yeah. What

817
00:45:32,159 --> 00:45:34,589
kind of jet is is what what
model,

818
00:45:34,980 --> 00:45:42,750
it's think was a seizure. There
was a Cessna, I should look up

819
00:45:42,750 --> 00:45:48,360
the offer again. I know that
it's a it's a good jet trust. As

820
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,930
jets go. It's a good jet. It's
just funny.

821
00:45:52,860 --> 00:45:54,990
If you had a jet, you'd be
Flint. You'd never be home.

822
00:45:55,829 --> 00:45:58,799
No, that's not true. Man. I got
my plane here. I haven't flown

823
00:45:58,799 --> 00:46:06,629
the thing in almost two months.
I hope it still starts there's

824
00:46:06,629 --> 00:46:09,689
nothing worse for an aircraft
than sitting around not flying.

825
00:46:10,349 --> 00:46:11,819
That's actually not really good.

826
00:46:12,570 --> 00:46:14,310
Same thing with a Ferrari by the
way.

827
00:46:15,389 --> 00:46:19,499
You know, I've had, I think just
about every stupid car known to

828
00:46:19,499 --> 00:46:26,129
man. And I recently discovered
that I'm done. I'm done with

829
00:46:26,129 --> 00:46:29,849
automobiles. I'm quite perfectly
happy to be driven around by

830
00:46:29,849 --> 00:46:33,929
anyone. I've had them all. My
favourite was the Rolls Royce,

831
00:46:33,929 --> 00:46:37,139
which I drove into New York
every day for like, seven years.

832
00:46:38,190 --> 00:46:42,570
Yeah, yeah, it's a little
flamboyant. Not at all. Yeah, it

833
00:46:42,570 --> 00:46:45,900
is. I've been to New York as
much as anyone in dislike, I

834
00:46:45,900 --> 00:46:48,270
don't think I've seen a rolls
but two or three times ever.

835
00:46:48,539 --> 00:46:50,729
Well, the cool thing was this is
back when we had the squeegee

836
00:46:50,729 --> 00:46:54,329
guys at the tunnel member those
those guys and which

837
00:46:55,949 --> 00:46:59,249
was for people to know that the
guys who would come up to your

838
00:46:59,249 --> 00:47:03,719
car with an oily rag full of goo
and offer to wash your window

839
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,169
not even offer that like throw
the the oily goo rag onto your

840
00:47:07,169 --> 00:47:09,749
window. And of course, if you
are in the know that you'd

841
00:47:09,749 --> 00:47:11,789
already have your windshield
wipers going, which was a

842
00:47:11,789 --> 00:47:17,249
universal signal for don't touch
the car, motherfucker. And it

843
00:47:17,249 --> 00:47:21,569
used to be like $1 and Giuliani
got rid of rid of all the

844
00:47:21,569 --> 00:47:24,779
squeegee guys, by the way. I
think he put them in Oklahoma.

845
00:47:25,199 --> 00:47:27,869
But he got rid of him
regardless. And so I drive

846
00:47:27,869 --> 00:47:31,919
through the Lincoln Tunnel with
the rolls. And I put my wipers

847
00:47:31,919 --> 00:47:34,799
on and then squeegee guy would
go oh man, I wasn't going to

848
00:47:34,799 --> 00:47:38,759
touch the car. Come on, give me
$1 For the thought, which I

849
00:47:38,759 --> 00:47:42,839
usually would wind up doing.
Thank you. dollar for you not

850
00:47:42,839 --> 00:47:43,709
touching my car.

851
00:47:44,489 --> 00:47:47,729
Dollar you go. It's like the
guys who you know. And that was

852
00:47:47,729 --> 00:47:50,249
the era when it was really
annoying to go into subway

853
00:47:50,279 --> 00:47:54,149
because there was usually one or
two competitive beggars. Like

854
00:47:54,149 --> 00:47:56,909
sometimes with a saxophone or
just coming around with a long

855
00:47:56,909 --> 00:47:59,939
story. They'd walk into the car.
And then they'd say, ladies and

856
00:47:59,939 --> 00:48:00,449
gentlemen,

857
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,150
oh, yeah, I'm, yeah, I'm a
student.

858
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:08,880
I'm not a beggar. I am an actor.
I'm here on a scholarship. And

859
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,950
then they go into their spiel,
and everyone would put their

860
00:48:10,950 --> 00:48:13,500
heads down and go, Oh, my God.
And

861
00:48:13,590 --> 00:48:18,060
that's why the iPod was such an
important invention. They didn't

862
00:48:18,060 --> 00:48:18,960
have to listen to that.

863
00:48:19,530 --> 00:48:22,290
Yeah, well, you don't see it too
much anymore, although it has

864
00:48:22,290 --> 00:48:24,660
happened occasionally. But it's
pretty rare because they did

865
00:48:24,660 --> 00:48:27,120
crack once they crack down and
takes a while for it to

866
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,200
redevelop. I think over time, it
will reappear New York is very

867
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:35,010
cyclical city, and just
deteriorates drastically

868
00:48:35,010 --> 00:48:37,920
overnight and has to be
straightened out by some tough

869
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:38,250
guy.

870
00:48:40,980 --> 00:48:42,690
Which Giuliani was.

871
00:48:43,140 --> 00:48:47,850
It was actually the guy, the
head chief of police. Who was

872
00:48:47,850 --> 00:48:50,520
responsible for all that stuff.
The guy went down to LA and has

873
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:54,090
been unable to do crap down
there. Because it's a total

874
00:48:54,090 --> 00:48:58,320
mess. Oh, who was that? What's
his name? Braxton Braxton, Brad

875
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,560
Braddock. Bradford, I wouldn't
know I really wouldn't get up.

876
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:05,730
Well, he's he's the guy who came
up with his it's his theory that

877
00:49:06,240 --> 00:49:10,380
the squeegee guys were the you
know, he says, he says most of

878
00:49:10,380 --> 00:49:13,980
the crime has a lot to do with
perception. And once you lower

879
00:49:13,980 --> 00:49:15,900
the perception, then people
change their attitudes and they

880
00:49:15,900 --> 00:49:18,870
don't walk around like like
victims, and then the whole and

881
00:49:18,900 --> 00:49:21,810
then the crime rate would
actually falls. And so he went

882
00:49:21,810 --> 00:49:24,570
after the what he calls obvious
petty crimes that they were

883
00:49:24,570 --> 00:49:26,430
always ignoring, because they
didn't think it was that

884
00:49:26,430 --> 00:49:29,460
important to bust the squeegee
guys. So he felt just the

885
00:49:29,460 --> 00:49:31,500
opposite. He says those are the
guys you want to get rid of

886
00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:33,510
because it makes the place to
biggest crime ridden.

887
00:49:34,170 --> 00:49:37,350
I have to say I was there when
that took place. And even though

888
00:49:37,350 --> 00:49:40,170
I again, I'm afraid that he took
all these people and dumped them

889
00:49:40,170 --> 00:49:43,050
somewhere, put them in a mass
grave and killed them all.

890
00:49:43,530 --> 00:49:45,690
But it turned out he had the
actual numbers on he says there

891
00:49:45,690 --> 00:49:47,730
weren't that many squeegee guys
who said they were out all the

892
00:49:47,730 --> 00:49:50,250
time. And he says once you start
resting them and throwing them

893
00:49:50,250 --> 00:49:52,410
in jail making them inconvenient
for them to do this. They went

894
00:49:52,410 --> 00:49:55,980
on they went elsewhere. Well,
maybe there isn't a shallow

895
00:49:55,980 --> 00:49:57,960
grave somewhere whatever the
case was, he cleaned up the

896
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,120
place and he got then he then
they went further they clean in

897
00:50:00,180 --> 00:50:03,510
Times Square, yeah, got rid of
the prostitution. That's all

898
00:50:03,540 --> 00:50:07,290
that was all around that time
square area, posted kind of the

899
00:50:07,290 --> 00:50:10,200
outskirts and got rid of that I
think generally speaking is

900
00:50:10,860 --> 00:50:13,050
there's nothing like I mean back
in that year. I mean, you could

901
00:50:13,050 --> 00:50:15,870
go anywhere in New York and
there was hookers, or there were

902
00:50:15,870 --> 00:50:17,100
hookers everywhere.

903
00:50:17,399 --> 00:50:23,249
Good times. Good times. So let
me ask you, John. So let's say

904
00:50:23,249 --> 00:50:26,579
we're living on the we're living
like somewhere, let me just say

905
00:50:26,579 --> 00:50:29,639
Africa. And we're sitting around
we're saying, Hey, man, you

906
00:50:29,639 --> 00:50:32,549
know, let's let's let's pull off
a heist, and let's make some

907
00:50:32,549 --> 00:50:35,849
money. You know, I there's so
many rich fuckers in this world.

908
00:50:37,079 --> 00:50:43,529
Let's go. I know, let's hijack
an oil tanker. Can you explain

909
00:50:43,589 --> 00:50:48,599
this rationale to me why Somali
pirates have hijacked an oil

910
00:50:48,599 --> 00:50:52,259
tanker and what they actually
think to get away with.

911
00:50:52,619 --> 00:50:54,899
They've been hijacking these
things for about two or three

912
00:50:54,899 --> 00:50:58,109
years now. And that they this
wasn't just the one. That was

913
00:50:58,109 --> 00:51:00,389
the big one. That was the
monster. I know that

914
00:51:00,390 --> 00:51:03,840
they've they've they've got oil,
they've jacked the towers out

915
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:07,560
there, you know, 100 miles off
the coast. I mean, is it? Is it

916
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:12,210
really such a big trade, I mean,
even to go to go hijack this

917
00:51:12,210 --> 00:51:15,420
monstrous thing. They actually
think they're gonna get away

918
00:51:15,420 --> 00:51:16,170
with anything.

919
00:51:16,590 --> 00:51:19,650
They've already gotten away with
a number of hijacks. But this is

920
00:51:19,980 --> 00:51:22,590
the biggest this has gotten, you
know, what have you got carried

921
00:51:22,590 --> 00:51:24,420
away with this one? They took
out the

922
00:51:25,650 --> 00:51:28,590
how many? How many millions of
barrels, like 2 million barrels

923
00:51:28,590 --> 00:51:29,790
of oil are on this thing.

924
00:51:30,599 --> 00:51:35,069
So this, which one I think is
1/3 of daily Saudi production

925
00:51:35,069 --> 00:51:40,469
rise in their own boat? I don't
know. I mean, I think they're

926
00:51:40,469 --> 00:51:42,689
gonna get paid off and they're
going to release the boat. And

927
00:51:42,689 --> 00:51:45,449
that's going to be that. But
now, of course, the Blackwater

928
00:51:45,449 --> 00:51:46,289
is getting involved.

929
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,320
Yeah, I know that they've got
their own ship with an attack

930
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,240
helicopter and right. They're

931
00:51:51,240 --> 00:51:53,670
going to get to the fact
Blackboard is going to develop

932
00:51:53,670 --> 00:51:57,630
their own private navy. Yeah.
Which, Zeb? I'm thinking to

933
00:51:57,630 --> 00:52:01,620
myself. What is it the Saudis
just do the same? I just, you

934
00:52:01,620 --> 00:52:04,140
know, these guys, the Blackwater
guys are amazingly

935
00:52:04,140 --> 00:52:06,270
entrepreneurial. I mean, I've
never seen, you know, to

936
00:52:06,270 --> 00:52:11,850
commercialise mercenary ism, to
this extreme is just, I mean, I

937
00:52:11,850 --> 00:52:14,070
only saw this guy with the guy
who runs Blackwater, he would be

938
00:52:14,190 --> 00:52:17,580
testifying for Congress once.
And he looks like a Silicon

939
00:52:17,580 --> 00:52:20,880
Valley guy, because that was,
for instance, that his name is I

940
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,700
can't remember. But anyway, I
was watching him testify because

941
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:27,870
he rarely shows his face,
probably for good reason. And it

942
00:52:27,870 --> 00:52:30,030
just was just, this guy is a
genius.

943
00:52:30,630 --> 00:52:32,880
I've seen him on Charlie Rose,
I'll look that up for you.

944
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,700
Because it was a really good, it
was a really good show are the

945
00:52:35,700 --> 00:52:38,730
guys he is he does look like a
Silicon Valley entrepreneur.

946
00:52:39,180 --> 00:52:41,790
Yeah, but But it's disgusting to
me.

947
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,579
Yeah, well, I mean, it should be
you mean, we shouldn't have this

948
00:52:44,579 --> 00:52:46,979
kind of thing. But the fact of
the matter is, I've never seen I

949
00:52:46,979 --> 00:52:48,809
would have never imagined in a
million years that somebody

950
00:52:48,809 --> 00:52:53,909
could commercialise this kind of
business to such an extreme.

951
00:52:54,359 --> 00:52:56,669
That is like, you know, becoming
its own government, it could

952
00:52:56,669 --> 00:52:58,109
probably take over a place.

953
00:52:58,140 --> 00:53:01,440
Well, it's called the military
industrial complex. John has

954
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:02,640
been going for a while.

955
00:53:03,149 --> 00:53:06,659
I just what I said, but it's not
been this in entrepreneurial

956
00:53:06,659 --> 00:53:10,679
alized in such an extreme where
it's like, just out in the open.

957
00:53:10,889 --> 00:53:13,619
And I think that they could be
hired to take over a government

958
00:53:13,619 --> 00:53:16,709
and say, let's do a contract
deal. You know, you get a bunch

959
00:53:16,709 --> 00:53:17,849
of billionaires together.

960
00:53:18,090 --> 00:53:20,190
Oh, that's interesting. So wait
a minute. So what you're saying

961
00:53:20,190 --> 00:53:23,760
is, they of course, will always
go for the highest bidder. So in

962
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,450
a very typical American lazy
entrepreneurial way, instead of

963
00:53:27,450 --> 00:53:30,420
going to the arms, we have the
right to bear to fuck it. We'll

964
00:53:30,420 --> 00:53:32,670
just hire Blackwater for our
coup.

965
00:53:35,010 --> 00:53:38,100
They have a navy pretty soon. So
you'd figure out you target a

966
00:53:38,100 --> 00:53:41,490
country? Look around. Look at
South America, you look at your

967
00:53:41,700 --> 00:53:43,950
island, some island, you
targeted?

968
00:53:44,610 --> 00:53:47,160
How about the United States?
Let's go to Washington? Well,

969
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,230
they'll hire Blackwater to do it
for us,

970
00:53:49,679 --> 00:53:51,869
I think is going to be that'd be
a tough one, because I think

971
00:53:51,869 --> 00:53:54,659
they're in cahoots. So that's
not gonna happen. But let's just

972
00:53:54,659 --> 00:53:57,179
say there's some country in
Africa, or that has a lot of

973
00:53:57,179 --> 00:54:00,179
natural resources or something
in South America, we take

974
00:54:00,179 --> 00:54:04,469
Blackwater, and we just take
over the place. Yeah, I mean,

975
00:54:04,469 --> 00:54:07,109
they do a treaty with the United
States, you know, in some sort

976
00:54:07,109 --> 00:54:10,859
of a quid pro quo. And then and
then just take and steal all the

977
00:54:10,859 --> 00:54:14,699
resources, right? How about you
should be able to a cost benefit

978
00:54:14,699 --> 00:54:17,639
analysis will pay for the
country and Flight BE A

979
00:54:17,639 --> 00:54:19,919
Blackwater will get paid off,
they'll make and they get a

980
00:54:19,919 --> 00:54:23,489
piece of it, you have to do it
as a stock deal. So they get

981
00:54:23,489 --> 00:54:26,909
stock options on the country's
resources. And so Blackwater

982
00:54:26,909 --> 00:54:30,089
becomes a partner. And they also
the military and you boom, is

983
00:54:30,089 --> 00:54:32,969
no, it's, you know, it's all
done just as you bid like any

984
00:54:32,969 --> 00:54:33,719
other investment,

985
00:54:33,809 --> 00:54:36,119
the only the only thing you have
to talk about is the warrants,

986
00:54:36,149 --> 00:54:38,159
it's just the warrants, you
know, it's like, that's all that

987
00:54:38,159 --> 00:54:41,789
we care about at the end of the
deal. But it's not exactly what

988
00:54:41,789 --> 00:54:42,179
Georgia

989
00:54:42,629 --> 00:54:45,719
killing and murdering is like,
like any Silicon Valley deal.

990
00:54:45,779 --> 00:54:45,959
Yeah.

991
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,750
Well, this is Georgia South
Oceti. That's exactly what

992
00:54:48,750 --> 00:54:51,240
happened. They got Blackwater
guys in to do it.

993
00:54:51,750 --> 00:54:58,980
Yeah, that could be so yeah,
well, yeah, they probably do. So

994
00:54:58,980 --> 00:55:03,690
yeah, it's all a scam. So I
guess so talking about scams

995
00:55:03,690 --> 00:55:06,360
Putin is going to ride you know,
they've changed all their laws

996
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,370
they're going to keep themselves
in these guys are never going to

997
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,100
go into now. Now the term is six
years in Russia for the

998
00:55:11,100 --> 00:55:12,600
president instead of four
buttons is

999
00:55:12,599 --> 00:55:16,499
going to be in forever. Let's
Haitian and he's the next thing

1000
00:55:16,499 --> 00:55:17,159
to Stalin.

1001
00:55:18,449 --> 00:55:21,419
Well, I don't know. Yeah, that's
probably, well, Russia had to do

1002
00:55:21,419 --> 00:55:27,389
something. Now, because all of
their oligarchs are going belly

1003
00:55:27,389 --> 00:55:32,249
up to the, I guess the the oil
companies that they initially

1004
00:55:32,489 --> 00:55:35,369
stoled and now stealing back, is
that kind of the way it works?

1005
00:55:37,380 --> 00:55:39,780
I don't know. Yeah, I think so.
Yeah. No, you mean the

1006
00:55:39,810 --> 00:55:41,610
government's take the
government's taking them back

1007
00:55:41,610 --> 00:55:44,490
and disguise it gives you guys
are abusing the privilege and

1008
00:55:44,490 --> 00:55:46,800
then they say you guys are
making too much money. Let's put

1009
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,740
the CEO in jail. By the way,
maybe we should be thinking

1010
00:55:50,070 --> 00:55:52,920
what I'm saying. They're on to
something here. Let's put these

1011
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:54,270
CEOs and Jesse,

1012
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:55,890
stay on take the company.

1013
00:55:56,940 --> 00:56:01,740
I do want to promote the end the
Fed rally, which takes place

1014
00:56:01,740 --> 00:56:05,760
today in 39 different cities in
the United States. Ending

1015
00:56:05,820 --> 00:56:09,420
red.us. That's the root of all
the problems, John? Yeah, by the

1016
00:56:09,420 --> 00:56:09,990
way, reminds

1017
00:56:09,989 --> 00:56:14,069
me of another thing I noticed
here they call it an array be

1018
00:56:14,069 --> 00:56:16,919
some truth to that because I was
noticing the on the EURO NEWS

1019
00:56:16,919 --> 00:56:21,929
here. When they refer to
Bernanke. Yeah, Bernanke.

1020
00:56:21,959 --> 00:56:26,129
Bernanke. Bernanke. You say
Bernanke. Anyway, so they call

1021
00:56:26,129 --> 00:56:29,669
him they had become the head of
the Central Bank. Well, that's

1022
00:56:29,669 --> 00:56:32,759
what he is. Yeah, no, I know, I
realised that but it's like we

1023
00:56:32,759 --> 00:56:35,069
wouldn't do United State. We
don't use that, that

1024
00:56:35,069 --> 00:56:39,719
nomenclature. We need to put
reserve it's like a committee

1025
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,069
and it's got nothing in it. You
know, it's

1026
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:44,640
just we have to use the word
federal because then it sounds

1027
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,620
governmental. And that's part of
the scam.

1028
00:56:47,189 --> 00:56:54,059
Yeah. Central Bank. Nine,
central bank. Yeah. Well, I'll

1029
00:56:54,059 --> 00:56:59,489
be amused. Well, I'm not. So I'm
getting a sling box and a sling

1030
00:56:59,489 --> 00:57:00,179
catcher.

1031
00:57:02,190 --> 00:57:04,080
You had to be in Portugal to
figure that out.

1032
00:57:04,770 --> 00:57:08,760
I'm sure what No, no, I've died
was just came after a. We did

1033
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,220
this last show because we're
talking about setting up sling

1034
00:57:11,220 --> 00:57:16,170
boxes. They're in so I could
watch your TV. And but you what

1035
00:57:16,170 --> 00:57:18,870
you really wants is I haven't
hooked these up yet. So I don't

1036
00:57:18,870 --> 00:57:22,710
know how difficult this is going
to be a probably blog it or it's

1037
00:57:22,710 --> 00:57:26,550
relatively easy to setup plumped
up at sling catcher. If you

1038
00:57:26,550 --> 00:57:27,930
haven't, you're familiar. Yeah,

1039
00:57:27,930 --> 00:57:33,090
I don't have the sling catcher.
But I only pay you unless you

1040
00:57:33,090 --> 00:57:35,220
receive it and put it back on
your television. Right.

1041
00:57:35,340 --> 00:57:39,810
Right. So I could take your
signal and then put it on my TV

1042
00:57:39,810 --> 00:57:43,320
as I was watching your set on my
TV, not on the computer. Right?

1043
00:57:43,650 --> 00:57:47,010
I guess it has other uses. You
know, like, I guess like an

1044
00:57:47,010 --> 00:57:49,440
Apple TV or something like that.
I'm not sure what all the things

1045
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:53,550
you can do are, but it costs as
much as the sling box. Probably

1046
00:57:53,550 --> 00:57:53,940
does a few

1047
00:57:53,940 --> 00:57:55,740
things. Well, I'll go out and
buy one this afternoon. I'm

1048
00:57:55,740 --> 00:57:58,230
doing a little bit of shopping
anyway, I have the slim box, but

1049
00:57:58,230 --> 00:58:00,960
I want to get a separate sling
box. Well, we already we've

1050
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,630
already gone through all of
this. But I'm also ordering

1051
00:58:03,630 --> 00:58:07,440
multiple lines. I'm getting my
cable modem I'm getting a DSL

1052
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,290
line because you know you have
to be careful these days because

1053
00:58:10,500 --> 00:58:15,450
you get penalised as an
uploader. But frickin ISPs Oh,

1054
00:58:15,450 --> 00:58:17,370
you're uploading too much. So
we'll just break your

1055
00:58:17,370 --> 00:58:21,000
connection. You're probably
doing something illegally.

1056
00:58:23,010 --> 00:58:25,860
Yes. Which reminds me of the
Tennessee story, which reminds

1057
00:58:25,860 --> 00:58:33,420
I'll mention, okay. The
Tennessee a state of Tennessee

1058
00:58:33,450 --> 00:58:39,480
decided to put $9.8 million plus
a recurring $1.5 million into

1059
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:40,680
the university system.

1060
00:58:42,270 --> 00:58:44,430
Oh, yeah, to monitor

1061
00:58:44,849 --> 00:58:48,749
for file sharing. So in other
words, instead of giving the

1062
00:58:48,749 --> 00:58:52,319
money to the for education,
yeah, to learn something, they

1063
00:58:52,319 --> 00:58:55,739
basically at the behest of the
Ria, which should if they're

1064
00:58:55,739 --> 00:59:00,569
going to monitor that let the
RIA put in $10 million as

1065
00:59:00,569 --> 00:59:03,719
opposed to the idiots at the
state of Tennessee the state

1066
00:59:03,749 --> 00:59:06,179
should be ashamed of itself and
they should get that governor

1067
00:59:06,179 --> 00:59:09,389
who's apparently behind the
whole thing out of office. I

1068
00:59:09,389 --> 00:59:13,739
mean, what kind of an idiot is
going to spend taxpayer money

1069
00:59:14,159 --> 00:59:17,879
for something like this to
monitor to do and police to do

1070
00:59:17,879 --> 00:59:21,119
police work for the benefit of
file sharing? Now?

1071
00:59:21,869 --> 00:59:24,029
John, hold on one second. You
just started to sound like

1072
00:59:24,029 --> 00:59:25,589
Robocop for a moment there.

1073
00:59:26,429 --> 00:59:30,779
Yeah, I know. You're breaking up
to get into the hour here the

1074
00:59:31,199 --> 00:59:31,499
bear.

1075
00:59:32,070 --> 00:59:33,870
That's not even worth what
you're saying. Hold on. I'm

1076
00:59:33,870 --> 00:59:40,650
gonna call you back. All right.
All right, either. Don't tell me

1077
00:59:40,650 --> 00:59:43,770
I lost you know, I'm here now.
Okay, great. Yeah, we're back.

1078
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:44,610
We're back. Alright.

1079
00:59:45,390 --> 00:59:47,790
Yeah, well, we got to wrap
anyway because I gotta take off

1080
00:59:47,790 --> 00:59:50,790
any I think the connection is
gonna fall apart. But anyway,

1081
00:59:50,790 --> 00:59:54,060
just the Tennessee storage bids
on the blog. divorce.org/blog

1082
00:59:54,060 --> 00:59:54,570
Check it out.

1083
00:59:56,039 --> 01:00:00,449
Alright, so Oh, man. You only
want to do one out All with me,

1084
01:00:00,479 --> 01:00:03,149
it's just because you're gonna
go take pictures with some guys

1085
01:00:03,149 --> 01:00:03,509
like

1086
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:06,690
Celeste, you know group of
photographers. We're gonna go

1087
01:00:06,690 --> 01:00:07,410
shoot Lisbon.

1088
01:00:10,139 --> 01:00:14,369
That's funny. So you travel
around like a bunch of guys with

1089
01:00:14,399 --> 01:00:17,909
with like fanny packs and you
taking pictures of shit. Like

1090
01:00:17,909 --> 01:00:19,079
Japanese tourists.

1091
01:00:19,169 --> 01:00:22,859
Exactly. That's expensive
cameras, except you.

1092
01:00:23,159 --> 01:00:27,119
You'll have your little, your
little Cybershot thingy there.

1093
01:00:27,329 --> 01:00:27,749
And I brought

1094
01:00:27,749 --> 01:00:31,079
the big camera. Really? I didn't
know you had a big unit. I

1095
01:00:31,079 --> 01:00:36,299
because I have an Olympus 520
Ooh, nice. Very nice. I was

1096
01:00:36,299 --> 01:00:39,419
really nice as an 11 to 22
millimetre lens I have which is

1097
01:00:39,449 --> 01:00:41,609
astonishing. Product Neff,

1098
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:49,050
or whatever. Not really, in the
cameras. I got some good cameras

1099
01:00:49,230 --> 01:00:52,080
found. So somebody told me that
our outro theme was depressing.

1100
01:00:53,370 --> 01:00:56,460
Really? Yes, it all I get so
depressed at hearing maybe

1101
01:00:56,460 --> 01:00:57,060
they're just depressed,

1102
01:00:57,089 --> 01:01:00,269
depressed because the show was
over. I think that's a that must

1103
01:01:00,269 --> 01:01:03,299
be it. It's not depressing. It
has a nice little subtle thing.

1104
01:01:03,299 --> 01:01:05,579
And, and I know that people are
just sitting there just

1105
01:01:05,579 --> 01:01:08,249
listening to it all the way to
the very last tone and thinking

1106
01:01:08,279 --> 01:01:11,849
Oh, wow. Wow, was a good show. I
can't wait until the next one.

1107
01:01:13,380 --> 01:01:17,340
Yeah. Okay, well, I think that's
about it.

1108
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,720
I feel strangely unsatisfied.
Well, we

1109
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:23,790
could have got another half far,
but we'll hit the whole thing

1110
01:01:23,790 --> 01:01:24,870
next year. Next week.

1111
01:01:25,380 --> 01:01:28,470
All right. Well, I'll be here.
You're gonna be back in San

1112
01:01:28,470 --> 01:01:31,680
Francisco. I hope because I need
you to have your American news

1113
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:36,750
hat on. Oh, yeah, absolutely.
All right. Well, so you're

1114
01:01:36,750 --> 01:01:38,280
flying back through Frankfurt
again.

1115
01:01:39,329 --> 01:01:42,269
I they changed my flight. So I
don't know. But if I go through

1116
01:01:42,269 --> 01:01:43,499
London, I'll try to stop off.

1117
01:01:43,739 --> 01:01:46,499
Yeah, please do when is that
tomorrow or Monday? Tomorrow?

1118
01:01:46,979 --> 01:01:49,829

like 30 minutes away. So good.

1120
01:01:54,089 --> 01:01:57,239
