1
00:00:01,860 --> 00:00:05,160
It's time once again for a
unique global perspective from

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,310
the show that asks not what you
can do for your country but what

3
00:00:08,310 --> 00:00:12,270
your government is doing to you
and other culinary fun facts.

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,600
Throw in the Oh from Gitmo
nation east in southwest London.

5
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:16,830
I'm Adam curry

6
00:00:18,090 --> 00:00:21,750
I'm John C. Dvorak here and get
my nation west northwest by

7
00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:24,450
Northwest in Silicon Valley
North

8
00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:29,820
wherever somewhere somewhere
over there on the west coast

9
00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:33,210
from parts that we used to what
have wrestling in the Bay Area

10
00:00:33,210 --> 00:00:38,850
when they before you know before
the WWE F became WWE before they

11
00:00:38,850 --> 00:00:42,180
existed. And they used to be
this one guy that was one of

12
00:00:42,180 --> 00:00:44,640
these travelling wrestlers I
guess they went to these various

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,540
little areas and there was
always from from Parts Unknown

14
00:00:48,570 --> 00:00:51,000
from Parts Unknown yet Wait,
wasn't that something on the

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,490
like the early tonight show?
Didn't they say that as well,

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,310
from parts on? Maybe maybe even
on the radio?

17
00:00:57,660 --> 00:01:00,150
I think it was It wasn't Ray
Stevens. It was one of these

18
00:01:00,150 --> 00:01:04,050
other guys who was always like
some sort of weird champion. And

19
00:01:04,050 --> 00:01:06,840
he always came from Parts
Unknown, because he noticed

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,310
Stevens actually was, I'm sorry,
go ahead race the race team. Ray

21
00:01:11,310 --> 00:01:16,950
Stevens was this blonde haired
wrestler that was supposedly the

22
00:01:17,250 --> 00:01:19,680
he was the world champ or
something and he was in he was

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,010
supposedly from Reno, even
though he lived in Hayward,

24
00:01:23,610 --> 00:01:25,950
California, you could see him
driving around once and I had a

25
00:01:25,950 --> 00:01:27,420
big Cadillac and

26
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:30,240
this is when the wrestlers
didn't have these extravagant

27
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,630
outfits that just had kind of
like wife beater wrestling suits

28
00:01:33,630 --> 00:01:33,990
on

29
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:38,100
Yeah, Jen or just you know, the
whatever the trunks were, but

30
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:41,700
they it wasn't like as elaborate
as it wasn't as much show

31
00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:46,320
businesses it was still fake,
but it wasn't you know, done

32
00:01:46,350 --> 00:01:49,020
quite this way. I'm hearing my

33
00:01:49,290 --> 00:01:53,040
I'm sorry, that was my fault. We
shouldn't be yes.

34
00:01:53,070 --> 00:01:59,640
So anyway, Stevens was the
master of climbing up to the top

35
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:00,180
rope.

36
00:02:00,630 --> 00:02:02,790
Oh and doing the doing the

37
00:02:02,970 --> 00:02:05,010
big climb. Yeah,

38
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,890
super flies super five when I
was in college. That's what we

39
00:02:07,890 --> 00:02:12,300
always waiting for because all
we had was superstation W TBS

40
00:02:12,930 --> 00:02:17,160
through terrestrial reception.
Like a coat hanger in West

41
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,220
Virginia, mind you. And we'd
always be waiting for the

42
00:02:20,220 --> 00:02:23,460
wrestling. It'd be super fly you
Oh, shit. Oh, no, he's gonna do

43
00:02:23,460 --> 00:02:28,020
the super fly. We live very
humbly.

44
00:02:28,020 --> 00:02:31,770
He's got Yeah, apparently we
there was also a guy that was

45
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,760
there was always an Arab. There
was a bad guy. The Sheikh was

46
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,170
right. There was always a it was
starting back then there was

47
00:02:40,170 --> 00:02:41,490
always a horrible Arab.

48
00:02:43,229 --> 00:02:44,159
He always cheated.

49
00:02:45,419 --> 00:02:47,759
Oh, wait a minute. I have
something for you. Wait a

50
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:53,609
minute. Okay, here we go.
Speaking of Arabs. I have a

51
00:02:53,609 --> 00:02:58,709
quiz, John. You ready? Go. Okay.
The quiz is loading one second.

52
00:03:00,389 --> 00:03:05,819
Okay, who, who? Who made the
following remark Hold on. The

53
00:03:05,819 --> 00:03:10,169
following remark. Obviously, he
will influence the president to

54
00:03:10,169 --> 00:03:14,909
be pro Israel. Why wouldn't he
be? What is he an Arab? He's not

55
00:03:14,909 --> 00:03:18,899
going to clean the floors of the
White House. Who was that? Who

56
00:03:19,229 --> 00:03:23,279
was quoted saying this in the
Israeli my reef daily?

57
00:03:23,969 --> 00:03:26,759
Who was quoted as saying it? I
mean, who are they talking

58
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:26,909
about?

59
00:03:26,909 --> 00:03:30,359
Yes. Who said that? Who made
that quote? I'll give you the

60
00:03:30,359 --> 00:03:32,249
quote. Again, if you'd like to
hear it, John, for double

61
00:03:32,249 --> 00:03:36,449
jeopardy. Obviously, he will
influence the president to be

62
00:03:36,449 --> 00:03:40,439
pro Israel. Why wouldn't he be
what is he an Arab? He's not

63
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:42,419
going to clean the floors of the
White House.

64
00:03:45,629 --> 00:03:47,969
Let's see who would that be? Pat
Buchanan.

65
00:03:48,090 --> 00:03:55,290
No, that is Benjamin Emanuel,
father of Rahm Emanuel. You

66
00:03:55,290 --> 00:03:56,850
think that's a little racist?
Perhaps.

67
00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:03,240
It's pretty funny. It's
outrageous is what it is.

68
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:06,989
So anyway, so the will Rahm
Emanuel is a character for sure.

69
00:04:07,019 --> 00:04:08,459
I hate to get in his way.

70
00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:11,519
So we had a sheikh the Arab the
Arab was

71
00:04:11,940 --> 00:04:14,880
he had I think he was one of the
two or three guys who had this.

72
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,610
There's a lot of these guys that
weren't that competent. I mean,

73
00:04:17,610 --> 00:04:20,820
until much many years later
where you had a wrestler like

74
00:04:20,820 --> 00:04:24,330
Ric Flair. Who in his younger
days was you know, he was

75
00:04:25,019 --> 00:04:28,469
you remember all these names?
John, were you like a real fan?

76
00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:29,129
Were you into it?

77
00:04:29,579 --> 00:04:32,489
No. But anyway, but I just hard
to How could you forget these

78
00:04:32,489 --> 00:04:35,129
some of these guys, but anyway,
Ric Flair was interesting

79
00:04:35,129 --> 00:04:39,239
because he was he was never in
the WWE E or F as it was was

80
00:04:39,239 --> 00:04:44,459
once referred to. He was in a
competitive conference, or

81
00:04:44,459 --> 00:04:47,729
whatever you want to call it our
show. And but he was one of the

82
00:04:47,729 --> 00:04:50,549
most big he was always I
remember reading some wrestling

83
00:04:50,549 --> 00:04:53,009
forums once and they kept
talking about this guy never saw

84
00:04:53,009 --> 00:04:55,439
him. Then when I finally saw
him, I said, Oh my God. I mean,

85
00:04:55,439 --> 00:04:59,069
he was actually some he was like
an acrobat in his heyday. I

86
00:04:59,069 --> 00:05:02,339
mean, he would fly around and do
all kinds of weird holds and

87
00:05:02,339 --> 00:05:06,359
spin around and grab, you know,
just jump into the air, grab a

88
00:05:06,359 --> 00:05:10,829
guy by his neck with his legs
and his gun and flip around in

89
00:05:10,829 --> 00:05:13,619
some funny way and get the guy
in some crazy hold and, you

90
00:05:13,619 --> 00:05:15,209
know, break his spirit anyway.

91
00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:19,140
And what really happened is then
the entrance started to be the

92
00:05:19,140 --> 00:05:21,720
whole thing, right? And the
theme tunes and the checks.

93
00:05:22,380 --> 00:05:24,690
A lot of has to do with the fact
that a lot of these guys can't

94
00:05:24,690 --> 00:05:27,570
do that kind of thing is one
thing, you can't do it if you're

95
00:05:27,570 --> 00:05:29,730
so pumped up and so big, you
can't.

96
00:05:30,149 --> 00:05:33,629
You're not You're not very
bendable. You're not

97
00:05:33,630 --> 00:05:35,220
well, you're not been able,
you're also too heavy. And you

98
00:05:35,220 --> 00:05:37,680
could really hurt yourself. If
you did some of this stuff. I'm

99
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,200
sure Ric Flair hurt himself a
lot too. But he wasn't a big fat

100
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,750
guy. But anyway, in the I think
in the early days, there was

101
00:05:42,750 --> 00:05:45,480
always a few guys that were
talented actually could do

102
00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:48,330
athletic stuff, and most of them
weren't and so they had this,

103
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,920
this this, this suppose it hold
which I suppose could be real.

104
00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:57,990
Called the claw. And I think it
was I think the Sheikh and a

105
00:05:57,990 --> 00:05:59,940
couple of other guys had and
what they do is they couldn't

106
00:05:59,940 --> 00:06:03,630
really rest. I think they
grabbed the guy in the stomach.

107
00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:09,090
A big hand and Oh, they've got
him in the crease got him in the

108
00:06:09,090 --> 00:06:15,990
claws all over now sports fans
squeezing his gut. So

109
00:06:16,170 --> 00:06:20,160
I met I met Hulk Hogan. I told
you I worked with him. Oh, yeah,

110
00:06:20,190 --> 00:06:24,810
yeah, on ABC Circus of the
stars. I'm still trying to find

111
00:06:24,810 --> 00:06:26,580
video of that, because that was
fun.

112
00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:30,929
Hogan was the guy I think that
actually made the Oh yeah. He

113
00:06:31,290 --> 00:06:35,670
he was the first Mega global
superstar in the in the arena.

114
00:06:36,329 --> 00:06:39,029
And I never saw him as much of a
wrestler either. I mean, his

115
00:06:39,029 --> 00:06:42,659
whole gimmick was that, you
know, he was kind of meaty, he

116
00:06:42,659 --> 00:06:45,329
could run back and forth and
bounce off the ropes. And you

117
00:06:45,329 --> 00:06:45,509
know,

118
00:06:45,570 --> 00:06:47,790
he was the good guy, right? He
was fighting you know, he was

119
00:06:47,790 --> 00:06:50,400
for all you holkamaniac So all
you little kids out there. You

120
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,570
know, the Hulk is for good.

121
00:06:52,140 --> 00:06:55,200
Yeah, he was. But he was an evil
character for a short time too,

122
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,090
because they have no they always
have to do they gotta switch.

123
00:06:57,510 --> 00:07:00,570
Yeah, but anyway, so he wasn't
very I didn't think he was much

124
00:07:00,570 --> 00:07:02,100
of a wrestler. But he had,

125
00:07:02,459 --> 00:07:05,339
John, you can't say these
things. Seriously. I don't think

126
00:07:05,339 --> 00:07:08,879
he was much of a wrestler. No,
no, ah, no kidding.

127
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,030
No, when I say that, I mean that
in terms of, you know, his

128
00:07:12,030 --> 00:07:14,280
ability to do all these crazy
things in the ring, even though

129
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,980
they're, you know, they're,
they're orchestrated. I didn't

130
00:07:16,980 --> 00:07:20,580
think he had a good variety.
That's what I mean. So he, but

131
00:07:20,580 --> 00:07:25,320
his whole act was I think, was a
throwback in the world to

132
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,600
something they don't even do
anymore. And in the early days

133
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,510
of wrestling before it became
highly commercialised. And, and

134
00:07:30,510 --> 00:07:33,540
I'm always wondering why, you
know, they don't see this at

135
00:07:33,540 --> 00:07:37,530
all, you'd see the same scenario
goes follows, you'd have a good

136
00:07:37,530 --> 00:07:40,830
guy and a bad guy. And again,
they go back and forth, and back

137
00:07:40,830 --> 00:07:43,020
and forth. And the good guys
start to win. And then he gets

138
00:07:43,020 --> 00:07:45,210
the bad guy where he's just
gonna beat him and he's going to

139
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,820
the bad guys gonna lose him, the
bad guy would get on his hands

140
00:07:47,820 --> 00:07:52,920
and knees and beg for mercy. Beg
and beg and beg and beg. And the

141
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,500
good guy would say, Well, okay,
all right. I'll let

142
00:07:57,060 --> 00:08:00,720
sucker punch him right. Under
budget right in the gut. It

143
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,330
sounds it sounds a lot like the
early podcast and community

144
00:08:03,330 --> 00:08:03,900
actually.

145
00:08:05,010 --> 00:08:09,000
So So anyway, so what what
Hogan, you know, he kind of

146
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,390
evolved that into something kind
of different. It was never the

147
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:14,310
begging thing. And because he
was always the good guy, but he

148
00:08:14,310 --> 00:08:17,970
had to somehow turn turn into
something else. And so what he

149
00:08:17,970 --> 00:08:21,300
did, which, and he did, of
course, he did it every time it

150
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:24,720
was ridiculous. The guy whoever
he was wrestling would be

151
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,420
beating him, you know, and then
he'd be beating him bad and he'd

152
00:08:27,420 --> 00:08:29,220
be beating and worse and worse
and worse. And then he'd get the

153
00:08:29,220 --> 00:08:33,900
guy and he'd he do something to
Hogan, are you banging him over

154
00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:37,530
the head with a chair do
something that would make Hogan

155
00:08:37,530 --> 00:08:40,710
snap? The folding chairs are
always good. Yeah, yeah. And so

156
00:08:40,710 --> 00:08:43,320
Hogan would like he like you
could see it he you know,

157
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,650
supposedly he was snapped into a
different person and he's gone

158
00:08:46,650 --> 00:08:50,610
crazy. So then he ripped off his
shirt and he was be shaken and

159
00:08:50,610 --> 00:08:52,800
then the guy would come up and
do keep doing what he was doing

160
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,310
earlier, which is pounding him
but wouldn't budge him Hogan

161
00:08:56,310 --> 00:08:59,490
wouldn't budge because now he's
like a suit. He's changed. He's

162
00:08:59,490 --> 00:09:04,230
morphed into a Hulk Hogan get
the Hulk thing was kind of, you

163
00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:08,040
know, a reference to the the
comic book. So the guy be

164
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,080
pounding and pounding and
pounding him and Hogan would do

165
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,870
nothing but just stare at him
and look mean. And that guy

166
00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:16,170
would freak and then Hogan would
go after him and then just

167
00:09:16,170 --> 00:09:19,710
brutalise them and then he'd win
the match. You know, that was

168
00:09:19,710 --> 00:09:22,980
never as interesting or as
dramatic as the guy begging for

169
00:09:22,980 --> 00:09:27,330
mercy. And then sucker punch in
the guy's got mercy. It was

170
00:09:27,330 --> 00:09:28,590
just, you know, that, that,

171
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,210
that that scam or that theatre,
I should say, has now spawned

172
00:09:33,270 --> 00:09:36,810
three generations, my little
nephews, you know, my nephew is

173
00:09:36,810 --> 00:09:40,860
910 years old. And to me up
until two years ago, it's like I

174
00:09:40,890 --> 00:09:43,410
you know, I could not be a
bigger hero by showing up.

175
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,380
Whenever I saw him with
something from the rock. You

176
00:09:46,380 --> 00:09:50,550
know, if I had a rock t shirt or
the rock of whatever it was, you

177
00:09:50,550 --> 00:09:51,660
know, then I was the hero.

178
00:09:53,610 --> 00:09:56,490
Yeah, that's another character
that kind of, you know, he

179
00:09:56,490 --> 00:09:59,910
didn't stay around too long
because he had other things to

180
00:09:59,910 --> 00:09:59,970
do.

181
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,030
Jessie Ventura went on to an
interesting career in politics.

182
00:10:03,510 --> 00:10:05,760
Yeah, but he never really fully
left the sport. In fact, even

183
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,050
when he was the governor he did
a he did some sports casting for

184
00:10:10,050 --> 00:10:18,450
the WWF. E guy McMahon. When he
started the McMahon was gay when

185
00:10:18,510 --> 00:10:21,630
he had a has a weird ego is
actually the size. If you look

186
00:10:21,630 --> 00:10:24,390
at his if you research him he's
a sign of a global wrestling

187
00:10:24,390 --> 00:10:26,640
promoter from way back when and
he's the one who's kind of

188
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,630
modernised the sport. But then
he got Harrop is asked about the

189
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:34,680
Fed, he could do, he could outdo
the NFL. So he came up with this

190
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:40,380
extreme football, the XF L. And
and in the selling point was it

191
00:10:40,380 --> 00:10:43,560
was going to be you know, the
football players are all going

192
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:45,750
to be it's going to be similar
to the wrestling, it's going to

193
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:48,900
be choreographed in some way.
There's gonna be a lot of hot

194
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:51,870
cheerleaders and football
players, we're gonna get paid as

195
00:10:51,870 --> 00:10:53,700
fixed fixed salary.

196
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:55,590
that'll that'll fly.

197
00:10:56,370 --> 00:10:58,770
That's what I was thinking. I
think it is. What is this guy

198
00:10:58,770 --> 00:11:02,610
crazy. So he's gonna have you
know, he's gonna end I don't

199
00:11:02,610 --> 00:11:05,100
know what he was thinking. So
they so the best players they

200
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:09,180
could get were all crummy. And,
you know, they had us I think

201
00:11:09,180 --> 00:11:11,580
they had a team in the Bay Area.
And I you know, it's one of

202
00:11:11,580 --> 00:11:14,010
these things that I just, you
know, I saw it coming I saw it

203
00:11:14,010 --> 00:11:18,390
go and I never thought to buy
some ex NFL football hats

204
00:11:18,390 --> 00:11:21,180
or a shirt or so of course, the
collector's items now, right?

205
00:11:21,180 --> 00:11:23,550
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it
was, it was a collector's item

206
00:11:23,550 --> 00:11:24,360
from the get go.

207
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,180
Are you just one big eBay at
your house? I mean, do you just

208
00:11:27,180 --> 00:11:29,250
have is everything just stacked
up in boxes of

209
00:11:29,820 --> 00:11:32,160
point? I didn't I don't get it.
You know, these ones. Some of

210
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,010
these things come by I don't you
know, take action. I'm no, I

211
00:11:35,010 --> 00:11:37,170
don't have a lot. I don't do any
eBay stuff.

212
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:41,489
No, no. I think you'd have so
much memorabilia that you that

213
00:11:41,489 --> 00:11:42,659
you are like eBay.

214
00:11:43,350 --> 00:11:45,090
Oh, I get a lot of

215
00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:49,529
junk. Yeah, you go. John got a
lot of

216
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:54,900
junk. But anyway, so that thing
was a fiasco. And it was, but

217
00:11:54,900 --> 00:12:00,120
Jesse Ventura was one of the
announcers on the thing, and he

218
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,880
got himself into a huge trouble
with the media in Minnesota

219
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,240
because he was still a governor.
And he was going on about media,

220
00:12:06,330 --> 00:12:09,180
you know, he was having to act
like, you know, the phoney

221
00:12:09,180 --> 00:12:11,670
announcers that they have on
these things. So he had to have

222
00:12:11,670 --> 00:12:15,120
this tough voice and he kept
talking about the puke media and

223
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,640
how they didn't think much of
their football league and

224
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,670
they're a bunch of pukes. Yeah,
went on and on. And so when he

225
00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:27,090
went back to Minnesota, you
know, it was like, Oops, you

226
00:12:27,090 --> 00:12:30,060
know, they were just very just
given it to him. And so he

227
00:12:30,060 --> 00:12:33,000
actually, I think they, you
know, made him pretty mitten

228
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,150
made his life pretty miserable
is kind of stupid. And he could

229
00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:40,650
never make up his mind what he
wanted to do. I mean, he used it

230
00:12:40,650 --> 00:12:43,650
as a he actually had a lot of
potential as a politician. But

231
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:45,840
he, yeah, I don't think he had
it in him.

232
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,469
I think well, he people seem to
be pretty happy with him with

233
00:12:49,469 --> 00:12:51,509
the with the job he did as a
politician.

234
00:12:51,930 --> 00:12:54,000
I don't know if you talk to
people from Minnesota. I don't

235
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,460
think they're that jacked up
about it. But now they put in

236
00:12:56,460 --> 00:12:58,530
Frank and I mean, it's like
obviously Minnesota is our

237
00:12:58,530 --> 00:12:59,610
crackpot state.

238
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:04,230
Is he finally in now? I mean, is
it is it official is the race

239
00:13:04,230 --> 00:13:05,790
over? I still counted as

240
00:13:05,790 --> 00:13:08,310
a suit going on, but I think
he's gonna win it.

241
00:13:09,809 --> 00:13:11,609
It's inauguration weekend, John.

242
00:13:12,420 --> 00:13:15,600
Yeah, I heard that. Well, who's
who's? Who's getting getting in?

243
00:13:15,660 --> 00:13:16,140
Well,

244
00:13:17,370 --> 00:13:19,080
I'm practising throwing the Oh,

245
00:13:20,130 --> 00:13:21,930
it's going oh,

246
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,200
have you seen the movie? Oh,
today for the weekend? No, I

247
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:25,980
haven't yet. You've

248
00:13:26,010 --> 00:13:28,980
fired up man. Well, while we're
talking just go take a look at

249
00:13:28,980 --> 00:13:33,000
it because I've essentially Oh,
I'm claiming the whole thing I'm

250
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,100
throwing that Oh, left and
right. Good. So we John sent me

251
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,510
an image Friday I think while
we're having some kind of

252
00:13:42,510 --> 00:13:44,610
meeting that's when we're always
on Skype sending each other

253
00:13:44,610 --> 00:13:47,370
silly stories and pictures

254
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,320
and I just called the back
channel.

255
00:13:49,470 --> 00:13:51,210
Yeah, it is. Yeah, there you go.

256
00:13:51,630 --> 00:13:52,320
I'm throwing Oh

257
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,010
right. You like it? Yeah, you
kind of made it look like a

258
00:13:56,070 --> 00:13:59,220
wait a minute to go to the end
or no in the beginning and it's

259
00:13:59,220 --> 00:14:00,270
right in the first segment. Yes.

260
00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:03,390
Right at the beginning but
you're it's more of a square

261
00:14:03,390 --> 00:14:05,430
that you're making you didn't
make it a perfect Oh,

262
00:14:05,490 --> 00:14:07,830
well no, wait a minute I do it
again. That was just kind of the

263
00:14:07,830 --> 00:14:11,700
start and also I didn't want
like an onion throwing the onion

264
00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:17,760
everybody so this is the new
Obama salute which consists of

265
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,360
making an O with your with your
hands and holding that above

266
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:21,900
your head

267
00:14:22,740 --> 00:14:25,680
and yeah, I totally convinced
this is gonna take off

268
00:14:26,250 --> 00:14:31,410
that's why I immediately started
the wave man. Yeah, I did a I

269
00:14:31,410 --> 00:14:34,500
did like a 20 minute interview
with Maggie on daily source code

270
00:14:34,500 --> 00:14:39,780
yesterday. Oh, it was a
fantastic Oh, yeah. Fantastic.

271
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,070
Well, I first saw that oh thing
and on a obscure blog and

272
00:14:44,070 --> 00:14:48,330
somebody was grossed out by it
and which is that image that I

273
00:14:48,330 --> 00:14:51,930
sent you? As but as soon as I
saw it, I said this is this guy

274
00:14:51,930 --> 00:14:56,190
could see this cat. Yeah, very
similar to it there. There you

275
00:14:56,190 --> 00:14:59,670
go again with the Euro is not
Oh, it is enough.

276
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,730
Well You don't think I actually
want to do the seek? Oh, salute?

277
00:15:02,730 --> 00:15:05,250
I mean, I'm just trying to bring
it to everyone's attention.

278
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,780
Yeah, well, you did that. That's
good. That's so that's my point

279
00:15:09,780 --> 00:15:12,360
anyway, I think it would be I
think it would be cool if the

280
00:15:12,390 --> 00:15:18,240
work in some surreal sense. It
would be cool if, if people's,

281
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,060
you know, at the Obama rally
with at least two or 3 million

282
00:15:21,060 --> 00:15:23,700
people that are going to be at
this thing, not seeing anything

283
00:15:23,700 --> 00:15:25,890
except the giant screens, which
will be all over the place, I'm

284
00:15:25,890 --> 00:15:29,550
sure. Yeah. If they, if they
started doing it, so everyone

285
00:15:29,550 --> 00:15:29,700
was,

286
00:15:30,090 --> 00:15:36,510
oh, kind of like Queen radio
googoo. Radio Gaga, throw me the

287
00:15:36,510 --> 00:15:38,190
owner. Yeah.

288
00:15:40,020 --> 00:15:44,040
And I think that'd be cool. If
they were doing that. Don't you

289
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:44,340
think?

290
00:15:44,490 --> 00:15:46,860
I think it's going to be it's
going to look very cool in 40

291
00:15:46,860 --> 00:15:52,230
years from now when people are
researching the great rise of

292
00:15:53,069 --> 00:15:57,479
you know, but we also be good I
think the former i i think Obama

293
00:15:57,479 --> 00:16:00,689
in fact, should when they have
these military things, you

294
00:16:00,689 --> 00:16:06,509
should throw the good night and
reintroduce the goose step. I

295
00:16:06,509 --> 00:16:07,139
don't think

296
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,990
you will look good doing it when
you could do a little twist to

297
00:16:09,990 --> 00:16:12,930
it. Like you know, little love
Beyonce like him step

298
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:19,350
I can safely had a military
group going by with doing the

299
00:16:19,350 --> 00:16:22,050
goose step, Goose step Gousto.
Because and then they all they

300
00:16:22,050 --> 00:16:27,510
would all throw the O on bam,
just bam they throw the step, I

301
00:16:27,510 --> 00:16:30,960
think would be extremely
photogenic.

302
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:35,310
Oh, you're tripping me out? I
think it'd be cool. Yes. I think

303
00:16:35,310 --> 00:16:37,980
it's frightening. But yeah, it
would be cool. It would, it

304
00:16:37,980 --> 00:16:41,220
would fit right in line with the
expectations, wouldn't it now?

305
00:16:41,580 --> 00:16:45,420
Yeah. For us anyway. Oh, my good
for us and our crazy audience.

306
00:16:45,450 --> 00:16:46,650
Thanks. Yeah. Who by

307
00:16:46,650 --> 00:16:50,340
the way, we love dearly. love
you dearly audience.

308
00:16:50,730 --> 00:16:54,000
And in fact, if we can get more
of your ilk, to listen to the

309
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,020
show, then we're Yeah, we'd

310
00:16:55,020 --> 00:17:01,740
love to have you anymore. So I
estimate I saw, I'm gonna it's

311
00:17:01,740 --> 00:17:07,080
hard to estimate but at least
20,000 people in in London today

312
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:12,300
and I'm looking at BBC news.com.
At the homepage. Obama begins

313
00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:19,020
historic rail trip missing girl
and man seen on CCTV. The secret

314
00:17:19,020 --> 00:17:23,040
below Grand Central Station.
Funny. There's nothing about all

315
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,000
these people who are who are
demonstrating in the Capitol.

316
00:17:28,650 --> 00:17:31,110
So you have a big demonstration
going on? Or was that today?

317
00:17:31,140 --> 00:17:34,410
Yeah, that was today. It was
interesting. You know, I finally

318
00:17:34,410 --> 00:17:36,810
found some websites that are
kind of organising these

319
00:17:36,810 --> 00:17:41,010
demonstrations. And so they had
an announcement for today

320
00:17:41,310 --> 00:17:44,850
assembling at Trafalgar Square,
which is, man, 10 minutes from

321
00:17:44,850 --> 00:17:49,440
here. So I took the kids up to
go take a look. But it seemed

322
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,960
like a lot of people were really
talking about the demonstration

323
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,410
that's coming next week on the
24th. Which is interesting,

324
00:17:55,410 --> 00:18:00,300
because the demonstration is
going to start at the broadcast

325
00:18:00,300 --> 00:18:04,590
house. That is the BBC. And
people are apparently now really

326
00:18:04,590 --> 00:18:08,430
pissed off about the either one
sided or complete lack of

327
00:18:08,430 --> 00:18:13,440
reporting on the conflict in
Gaza.

328
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,400
Is this organised by that
communist group? The

329
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:20,640
International answer or anybody,
any of these people, the Workers

330
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,140
Party or what was behind it?
Yeah, I have the one. Generally

331
00:18:25,140 --> 00:18:28,020
speaking, these kinds of things
aren't even organised people who

332
00:18:28,020 --> 00:18:30,240
are actually interested in that
what they're trying to get the

333
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,250
protesters to bitch about?

334
00:18:32,460 --> 00:18:35,340
Well, I do like the fact that
they're protesting the BBC. I

335
00:18:35,340 --> 00:18:39,570
think that by itself is pretty
cool. Let me see if I can find

336
00:18:39,570 --> 00:18:45,720
the handle link somewhere. Stop
war this is at home on who's

337
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,200
organising Global Day of Action
dot.org.

338
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,180
Bullshit. So there's, it's
probably the same guys. They

339
00:18:54,180 --> 00:18:57,750
have a LinkedIn they actually
have a pretty good online,

340
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,080
they're pretty well organised.
They're they're really good. I

341
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,570
actually tracked most of their
sites down once two years ago

342
00:19:03,570 --> 00:19:05,670
when they were in San Francisco
doing it with that little

343
00:19:05,670 --> 00:19:10,590
science that answer a dot N dot
S dot Did you know. And that

344
00:19:10,590 --> 00:19:13,050
thing is like fat I've kept
seeing and I said this is this

345
00:19:13,050 --> 00:19:16,170
is odd. And it turned out to be
the world's Workers Party. It's

346
00:19:16,170 --> 00:19:22,110
a front and which is a communist
organisation, old style old

347
00:19:22,110 --> 00:19:25,770
school. And they have had a slew
of sites that link to other

348
00:19:25,770 --> 00:19:28,680
sites. And so you could find you
find all these various sites and

349
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,710
then when you go in, but they
always had a drop box for giving

350
00:19:31,710 --> 00:19:34,380
donations and they don't the
drop box should always be we

351
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:37,890
always trace back to Step steps
back to the world's Workers

352
00:19:37,890 --> 00:19:39,180
Party. Well, here

353
00:19:39,180 --> 00:19:44,400
we go. This is the Stop stop the
war coalition. That sounds

354
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,270
familiar. The stop the war
coalition was formed on

355
00:19:48,270 --> 00:19:52,500
September September 21 2001. at
a public meeting of over 2000

356
00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:55,260
people in London, the platform
statement above was ratified at

357
00:19:55,260 --> 00:19:58,110
public meetings and it's even
less important.

358
00:19:58,500 --> 00:20:00,870
I'm sure if you track these
guys, if you track that back two

359
00:20:00,870 --> 00:20:02,880
or three steps, you're gonna
find the same people.

360
00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:05,400
Okay, well,

361
00:20:05,430 --> 00:20:08,010
we're gonna find you know,
Wesley Clark. He's going to be

362
00:20:08,010 --> 00:20:09,060
somehow involved.

363
00:20:09,839 --> 00:20:14,099
Officers. Let's see the
officers. Andrew Murray.

364
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:20,579
Lindsey, German Robin best Steve
Bell. Andrew Bergen

365
00:20:20,669 --> 00:20:24,449
Communication Workers Union.
Yeah. Okay, here we go.

366
00:20:24,779 --> 00:20:30,509
Interesting that St. WC Muslim
network Iraqi Democrats against

367
00:20:30,539 --> 00:20:36,719
occupation University and
colleges union media workers

368
00:20:36,719 --> 00:20:38,039
against the war

369
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,030
you're all the same. There's

370
00:20:43,890 --> 00:20:48,300
a pole dancers anonymous. Oh
dude, I gotta tell you this

371
00:20:48,300 --> 00:20:51,720
story. So I had to go to
Guilford last night to drop off

372
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,540
a couple things and pick some
stuff up including Christina's

373
00:20:54,540 --> 00:20:57,990
car which I had conveniently
parked in the lot behind my

374
00:20:57,990 --> 00:21:01,350
buddy, Michelle Harper's club,
you know, the pole dancing club.

375
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,390
I got 10 parking tickets. So I
took Dexter with me Christina

376
00:21:06,750 --> 00:21:09,420
for 10 parking tickets because I
parked there illegally for two

377
00:21:09,420 --> 00:21:12,360
weeks. That's two times five
working days and I got a ticket

378
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:13,140
for every day.

379
00:21:14,039 --> 00:21:16,499
When it was illegal, I thought
was your buddy's place it was a

380
00:21:16,499 --> 00:21:17,069
parking lot.

381
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:19,890
No, I you know, it's it's just a
place I know. I can park.

382
00:21:20,610 --> 00:21:23,550
Nothing to do. It's It's not his
I mean, it's right behind his

383
00:21:23,550 --> 00:21:28,530
place that the council owns it.
So I took Dexter with me so that

384
00:21:28,530 --> 00:21:32,730
he could drive Christina's car
back back into the city. And my

385
00:21:32,730 --> 00:21:34,710
buddy Michelle just come back
from Thailand. So I called him

386
00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:37,590
up. I said, Hey, man, you know,
I even the club. He says Come

387
00:21:37,590 --> 00:21:39,960
on, guys. I got Dexter with me.
And he's 19 I don't worry about

388
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,380
it. You know, it's no problem.
So I took Dexter 19 in for his

389
00:21:43,380 --> 00:21:47,790
first pole dance for his first
private private lap dance. And I

390
00:21:47,790 --> 00:21:52,080
got him two girls, two girls to
do a lesbian show for him. It

391
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,100
was you should have seen his
face. It was the cutest thing

392
00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:58,650
ever. And then he comes out from
the private booth right with

393
00:21:58,650 --> 00:22:02,490
these two girls. And and there
was no one in the club. It was

394
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,070
it was us, right? Because it was
early. It was like 10 o'clock.

395
00:22:05,310 --> 00:22:08,280
And so it's us and 10 girls
around us. And they're all like,

396
00:22:08,310 --> 00:22:11,670
Oh, he's so cute. Wasn't his
first time and Dexter does like,

397
00:22:11,850 --> 00:22:19,680
well in this country. Yes. Oh,
man. It's so funny.

398
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,020
What did your daughter say to
that?

399
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,060
Well, that obviously was part of
the mission was to piss off my

400
00:22:27,060 --> 00:22:29,820
daughter, you know, put her put
her on edge a little bit. Let

401
00:22:29,820 --> 00:22:33,180
her know that. You know, we're
still men. And now she was she

402
00:22:33,180 --> 00:22:35,970
was cool because they were so I
came back and I said to

403
00:22:35,970 --> 00:22:39,540
Patricia, I said to her, let's
see what he tells her. And so

404
00:22:39,540 --> 00:22:41,910
this morning, Christina says,
Oh, well Dexter told me about

405
00:22:41,910 --> 00:22:44,430
the lap dance. I said, oh yeah.
What do you say? Oh, that it

406
00:22:44,430 --> 00:22:46,920
wasn't all that naked dude.
They're like completely naked

407
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:54,510
spread eagle. Dimension. It was
two girls. No, we didn't mention

408
00:22:54,510 --> 00:22:56,460
that. Like we're having so much
fun with this.

409
00:22:59,490 --> 00:23:00,270
dirty trick,

410
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:04,830
though. It's great. I've got
something over him. Not forever.

411
00:23:04,860 --> 00:23:06,150
He's indebted to me.

412
00:23:06,420 --> 00:23:12,720
Yeah, I guess. So last night
they had, you know, there's you

413
00:23:12,750 --> 00:23:16,410
I don't know if you watch
Battlestar Galactica. I'm not.

414
00:23:16,740 --> 00:23:19,830
I'm not really good before you
say anything. And I hate to tell

415
00:23:19,830 --> 00:23:22,500
you. I know a lot of people
watch this show. I think it's

416
00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:26,340
one of the most dreadful science
fiction things ever put on. I

417
00:23:26,340 --> 00:23:29,220
thought it was bad the first
time it was on the air years ago

418
00:23:29,220 --> 00:23:34,740
when they had you know, the Klan
from Bonanza run into a group

419
00:23:34,740 --> 00:23:39,900
and then it it's when they
restarted the show like a few

420
00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:43,500
years ago, I watched the first
episode because it's gonna be a

421
00:23:43,500 --> 00:23:46,710
big deal. And I wrote a scathing
piece I should probably find it

422
00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:49,620
and blog. And I remember that
this is a couple years back

423
00:23:49,620 --> 00:23:50,640
isn't it was a

424
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,260
number of years back. I think it
was so horrible that I just said

425
00:23:55,260 --> 00:23:58,920
this is bad. I would maybe tune
in once in a while just to see

426
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,790
the hot blonde. There was some
invisible blonde, who played by

427
00:24:02,790 --> 00:24:04,890
I can't remember her name. I
should remember it. But I can't.

428
00:24:06,180 --> 00:24:09,840
Actress who just really looks
great on camera, and she would

429
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,900
be coming. She'd be in some
guy's brain as you come out and

430
00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:16,110
she torment him. And that was
kind of funny. But I couldn't

431
00:24:16,110 --> 00:24:21,840
stand the stories that were slow
moving. They were stupid. And so

432
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,650
I said, so I got so one of my
bloggers one of my editors said

433
00:24:25,650 --> 00:24:27,960
apparently blogged up that's
going to be the last season or

434
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,960
this I thought was gonna be the
last episode last night and

435
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,710
turns out to be the last of many
last episodes. Yeah. And what

436
00:24:34,710 --> 00:24:36,870
happened? Of course, they found
Earth and it was blown to

437
00:24:36,870 --> 00:24:39,090
smithereens and they were all
disappointed. It was

438
00:24:39,090 --> 00:24:40,410
post Obama clearly.

439
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,480
Yeah, absolutely. So when they
said it's all happened 2000

440
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,780
years earlier, and meanwhile, so
So I turned the thing I figure

441
00:24:48,780 --> 00:24:51,000
out maybe this is worth
watching. I start watching.

442
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:54,120
There's nothing comes of the
whole episode except the

443
00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:57,510
stupidity of the show. And I'm
turning that maybe somebody can

444
00:24:57,510 --> 00:25:00,480
explain this to me, but one of
the characters in this Though in

445
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,540
the story who represents I guess
the government or something

446
00:25:03,570 --> 00:25:07,710
within the group of these stupid
ships, this is standing there

447
00:25:07,710 --> 00:25:13,230
wearing a suit and tie. Like
he's wearing like a Armani suit

448
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:20,460
with a, you know, you know, an
Armani white shirt and a tie

449
00:25:20,610 --> 00:25:25,350
that from the looks of the with
is from like, two or three

450
00:25:25,350 --> 00:25:29,730
seasons ago. You know, in other
words when it was probably shot

451
00:25:30,570 --> 00:25:33,390
again, right about 2005 and I'm
thinking I'm looking at this

452
00:25:33,390 --> 00:25:36,450
going, what the hell would it
what is the who's doing this

453
00:25:36,450 --> 00:25:40,320
show that they would have some
guy in a in a suit and tie which

454
00:25:40,410 --> 00:25:43,170
apparently we you know, would
would have banned from 2000

455
00:25:43,170 --> 00:25:46,500
years earlier by the timeline.
And he's wearing a suit and tie

456
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:50,310
like as normal and nobody's
saying anything to him. And I'm

457
00:25:50,310 --> 00:25:53,130
thinking why is the guy in a
suit and tie was anybody would

458
00:25:53,130 --> 00:25:54,120
have a tie in this

459
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:58,230
tie? Yes. Particularly what is
the year that this supposedly I

460
00:25:58,230 --> 00:26:01,170
guess? I don't know. 2200 or
something like that. I have no

461
00:26:01,170 --> 00:26:03,000
idea but I guess it's something
like it's so functional

462
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,280
ties, you know, they make so
much sense.

463
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:09,630
Ridiculous, you know, it's
essentially a phallic adornment

464
00:26:09,630 --> 00:26:13,800
from traces back to various, you
know, movements within the

465
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,600
fashion industry over time. But
anyway, so, so I draw right away

466
00:26:18,630 --> 00:26:23,250
or act. And then I try to watch
the story which is got all kinds

467
00:26:23,250 --> 00:26:26,460
of crappy background music. So
no matter what anybody does

468
00:26:26,460 --> 00:26:30,000
having a hit or an orchestra hit
or they're, or they got dunked

469
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,150
on, or they got some horrible
music or something rare, some

470
00:26:33,150 --> 00:26:37,590
crazy sounds to make it's
creepier than it is. And you

471
00:26:37,590 --> 00:26:40,020
don't know now at this point in
the story, you don't know who

472
00:26:40,020 --> 00:26:42,510
the Cylons are because they've
all morphed into human look

473
00:26:42,510 --> 00:26:46,080
alikes. And now that they've
discovered that 13 tribe is

474
00:26:46,110 --> 00:26:49,500
apparently Cylons, and maybe
we're Cylons, which is where I

475
00:26:49,500 --> 00:26:52,830
think this is headed, by the
way, which is going to be quite

476
00:26:52,830 --> 00:26:55,920
annoying, but I'm not gonna
watch it anymore. I've had it I

477
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,260
can't stand the show. And I
don't have much respect for

478
00:26:58,260 --> 00:27:02,220
people who think it's a good
show. It's extremely slow moving

479
00:27:02,490 --> 00:27:06,390
with all these dramatic BS
pauses in this suppose that

480
00:27:06,390 --> 00:27:08,760
relationships between this
person and that person, it's

481
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:09,720
just terrible.

482
00:27:09,750 --> 00:27:12,630
Are you practising this rant for
a twit tomorrow because that's

483
00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:14,760
what like that's where you're
gonna piss off the most people I

484
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:15,390
don't think people

485
00:27:17,220 --> 00:27:21,960
talk about but but yeah, maybe I
am practising because I could

486
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,740
bring it up again, because I
know because I know there's a

487
00:27:25,740 --> 00:27:26,250
bunch of land

488
00:27:27,270 --> 00:27:29,880
you just let you just want to
piss some nerds off that's what

489
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:35,490
you're into a good show. It's a
good show. It's a girl nerds you

490
00:27:35,490 --> 00:27:41,040
shared pretty She's really
pretty. Is it just me John? Or

491
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,700
whenever I hear someone say
stimulus package does that make

492
00:27:44,700 --> 00:27:49,470
you laugh? But you will now
because I've had a stimulus

493
00:27:49,470 --> 00:27:54,510
package for many many years. But
I bow and I'd like to show it to

494
00:27:54,510 --> 00:27:55,530
you. Bye Bye.

495
00:27:56,519 --> 00:28:01,409
So So I was watching this this
television last night I saw

496
00:28:01,409 --> 00:28:07,349
something that made my heart
stop and I figure is probably a

497
00:28:07,859 --> 00:28:11,969
somebody's either coming with an
Adobe plugin or something to

498
00:28:11,969 --> 00:28:17,249
create CBS had one they had a
like little the spot art for

499
00:28:17,249 --> 00:28:23,369
like an upcoming show. Next on
CBS. And the art showing the

500
00:28:23,369 --> 00:28:26,969
characters are three or four
characters was done in exactly

501
00:28:26,969 --> 00:28:32,879
that Obama style with the cream
blue and red, you know, photos

502
00:28:32,879 --> 00:28:35,069
that have been turned into this
you know, the poster that says

503
00:28:35,069 --> 00:28:40,049
hope and whatever. You know that
cream and red. Sorry, I

504
00:28:40,050 --> 00:28:43,980
just came to a screeching halt.
And I'm talking about Yeah, yes,

505
00:28:43,980 --> 00:28:45,630
of course. I know what you're
talking about.

506
00:28:45,810 --> 00:28:48,570
Why do they why the network's
now using this this is basically

507
00:28:48,570 --> 00:28:50,370
a callback to Obama.

508
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,700
Well, of course they're getting
into it. Everyone's trying to do

509
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:57,270
something to attract viewers and
make money out of it.

510
00:28:57,870 --> 00:29:00,780
I thought it was pandering, but

511
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,780
I don't think it's panned. No,
no, I disagree with you. It's

512
00:29:03,780 --> 00:29:06,270
not panning. But you know how
media works. Were even doing it

513
00:29:06,270 --> 00:29:09,540
we're doing what are we doing
inauguration for change? Wait a

514
00:29:09,540 --> 00:29:13,260
minute, inauguration for change.

515
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:17,460
If anybody out there has any
knows what this plugin is or

516
00:29:17,460 --> 00:29:20,940
what they're doing to get this
effect? Cuz I know it's I doubt

517
00:29:20,940 --> 00:29:23,790
if it's being done by hand. I'm
sure somebody's come up with a

518
00:29:23,820 --> 00:29:26,400
quick way of doing it. I would
send me a link.

519
00:29:28,110 --> 00:29:30,150
What kind of plugin do you
expect? This is though,

520
00:29:30,660 --> 00:29:33,630
I It's something where you could
just present or it could be like

521
00:29:33,630 --> 00:29:36,570
a series of one of those
recordings that you can put into

522
00:29:36,570 --> 00:29:39,630
Photoshop in some way. Take a
photo and you push the button

523
00:29:39,630 --> 00:29:44,280
and then boom. Yeah. Turns into
the blue cream and red

524
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,720
posterized the style I can I
can. I can see how you can do it

525
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:49,830
with it's probably

526
00:29:49,830 --> 00:29:53,400
something you can drop right
into Apple photo booth as well.

527
00:29:54,420 --> 00:29:56,670
You know what I mean? Maybe
Yeah, maybe could be

528
00:29:56,670 --> 00:30:02,730
illustrated. I'm not sure. So
Oh, I kept my notes from last

529
00:30:02,730 --> 00:30:03,090
week.

530
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,480
Okay, well, we might as well
follow yours because you never

531
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,190
are interested in my topics.

532
00:30:08,910 --> 00:30:14,790
Yeah. Okay. So let's start with
cocksucker. You know, after I'm

533
00:30:14,790 --> 00:30:17,640
done with my three nodes, yeah,
then we can we

534
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,630
can get to mine. Okay. Well, I
actually do some preparation for

535
00:30:21,630 --> 00:30:23,880
the show. You know, I have some
heart.

536
00:30:25,890 --> 00:30:30,960
So the things we forgot to talk
about last week was was that

537
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,800
there was a something about
German measles. Apparently,

538
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,090
yeah, they're claiming

539
00:30:36,090 --> 00:30:40,530
an epidemic of German measles in
in Britain. I don't even have

540
00:30:40,530 --> 00:30:43,320
those notes anymore is like 3000
people have the measles and the

541
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,470
claiming an epidemic and, you
know, it's just another way of

542
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:51,180
forcing people to take
vaccinations. So they can inject

543
00:30:51,180 --> 00:31:00,480
us with nano technology to be
tracked. Okay, yeah, think about

544
00:31:00,750 --> 00:31:02,760
this nanotechnology stuff is for
real.

545
00:31:03,270 --> 00:31:05,790
Okay, so so there's a website a
guy just sent me

546
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,550
it's in the vaccinations. You
see,

547
00:31:11,670 --> 00:31:15,360
yeah, okay. Michelle,

548
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,480
go ahead, man. Go get your flu
shot. You gotta get another one.

549
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:18,840
John.

550
00:31:19,410 --> 00:31:22,260
I already got my flu shot.
There's a website called

551
00:31:22,620 --> 00:31:23,280
upgrade

552
00:31:23,850 --> 00:31:34,320
but abama con mi. B A M IC o
Obama icon. I'm sorry. Obama

553
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:39,960
icon.to Me and then apparently
you can push your pictures right

554
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,070
through and get that effect.

555
00:31:41,220 --> 00:31:43,200
Obama icon.me

556
00:31:43,860 --> 00:31:49,920
Well, it's what it says Obama
icon.me Obama dash icon. No, no

557
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:57,090
is it well the way it shows up
here is Obama icon.ni but it

558
00:31:57,090 --> 00:31:59,430
could I don't know if that's is
that a domain because it shows

559
00:31:59,430 --> 00:32:06,030
up on the top at the top layer
of the browser as Obama icon me

560
00:32:06,030 --> 00:32:07,980
dot paste. magazine.com

561
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,030
Oh, hold on.me dot paste.

563
00:32:18,990 --> 00:32:19,380
tried.

564
00:32:19,380 --> 00:32:22,140
Yeah, no, it didn't resolve
didn't resolve. Okay. No, this

565
00:32:22,140 --> 00:32:23,070
doesn't work either.

566
00:32:23,340 --> 00:32:27,210
No, but you don't have it right.
Oh, Obama icon me All one word.

567
00:32:27,210 --> 00:32:31,230
Yes. I got that. Dot Paste
Magazine. yes.com.

568
00:32:31,710 --> 00:32:36,450
Yeah, and I get it doesn't
resolve something's wrong with

569
00:32:36,450 --> 00:32:40,350
your machine. Yes. Oh, of
course. Let me grab me the link

570
00:32:40,350 --> 00:32:40,890
Wilier

571
00:32:41,340 --> 00:32:45,090
Oh, there's a thought I keep
forgetting that you can do that

572
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:46,830
Mr. Mr. Technology.

573
00:32:49,260 --> 00:32:50,250
Anyway back up. So

574
00:32:50,250 --> 00:32:51,840
that's the website that does it.
And that

575
00:32:52,260 --> 00:32:54,750
was a website that does it. I
don't know if it's,

576
00:32:55,410 --> 00:32:58,170
I already have it from someone
on Twitter. I don't need your

577
00:32:58,170 --> 00:32:59,010
stinking link.

578
00:32:59,460 --> 00:33:02,880
Oh, somebody sent it to you.
Yeah, probably the same. Okay.

579
00:33:03,180 --> 00:33:07,410
Obama icon it's not Obama icon
it's Obama icon.

580
00:33:07,860 --> 00:33:10,110
Ah, Obama icon there you go. Oh,
I

581
00:33:10,110 --> 00:33:15,570
see. Oh, cool. Okay. All right,
man. We this is for you and me.

582
00:33:15,570 --> 00:33:18,300
This is what we're gonna do for
our no agenda album art. This is

583
00:33:18,300 --> 00:33:24,180
fantastic. Oh, t shirt to send
me a picture of you throw in the

584
00:33:24,180 --> 00:33:28,020
Oh. Oh, yeah, there's an idea.
So we'll both be throwing Oh,

585
00:33:28,020 --> 00:33:28,650
and then we'll

586
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,960
have to get drunk first.

587
00:33:32,220 --> 00:33:35,730
Hey, I'm calm coming out. In a
little over a week. We got a

588
00:33:35,730 --> 00:33:36,000
plan.

589
00:33:36,660 --> 00:33:39,450
That joueurs the connection
there? Because I'm gonna get you

590
00:33:39,450 --> 00:33:39,990
drunk.

591
00:33:40,170 --> 00:33:45,150
I'll get you hammered. I'm
coming out. You're getting

592
00:33:45,150 --> 00:33:48,930
drunk. I'm on my way. Hell yeah.

593
00:33:50,490 --> 00:33:53,640
Seriously, though, I'm coming
out the 26 so let's plan

594
00:33:53,640 --> 00:34:00,000
something for 27 and 29 or 30 or
something like that. Not 29 I

595
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:06,750
got a board meeting on 20 on
30th 27th 30th. I'm flying back

596
00:34:06,750 --> 00:34:08,880
to the 31st so we could do the
show on Sunday.

597
00:34:09,090 --> 00:34:11,910
And then my Skype for instance
is pronounced Michael said

598
00:34:11,910 --> 00:34:18,120
simple even though it's it's
spelled odd. So anyway, back to

599
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,580
the German measles thing that
reminded me of something going

600
00:34:20,580 --> 00:34:23,490
on in the States at least it was
released last week. I haven't

601
00:34:23,490 --> 00:34:26,700
seen much of it this week. An
outbreak all over the country at

602
00:34:26,700 --> 00:34:30,900
least new stories cropping up
everywhere I've planted no rabid

603
00:34:30,900 --> 00:34:37,260
raccoons. Really? Yeah, like
like rabid raccoons all over the

604
00:34:37,260 --> 00:34:38,970
place and there was you know,
but on most of them

605
00:34:38,999 --> 00:34:42,719
don't most raccoons carry rabies
with them anyway at least that's

606
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,759
what I was always told the
domain don't want to get bitten

607
00:34:44,759 --> 00:34:47,129
by a raccoon because you know,
then you have to go get a rabies

608
00:34:47,129 --> 00:34:47,609
shot.

609
00:34:48,869 --> 00:34:52,139
No, not that I necessarily write
you have rabies. They act weird

610
00:34:52,139 --> 00:34:55,199
that come out during the day
they challenge you

611
00:34:56,130 --> 00:34:58,050
to do what to a duel

612
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,230
Three to five card stud. What
are these animals doing

613
00:35:04,380 --> 00:35:05,790
to a biting contest?

614
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,900
Right? So what So what what is
less than make of

615
00:35:10,830 --> 00:35:13,770
hundreds? There was the story.
The one story one of the

616
00:35:13,770 --> 00:35:16,740
newspaper says if you see a
raccoon, because apparently

617
00:35:16,740 --> 00:35:21,660
they'll attack porcupines with
porcupines same thing spikes all

618
00:35:21,660 --> 00:35:24,720
over his foil, nose and body
stay away.

619
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:30,090
That would be the clue. And hey,
he's got porcupine quills

620
00:35:30,090 --> 00:35:31,320
sticking out of his face.

621
00:35:33,090 --> 00:35:36,060
And then the last item I had on
my list of three says new

622
00:35:36,060 --> 00:35:41,100
consumer product. No, no.

623
00:35:42,119 --> 00:35:44,009
Did we have some kind of
brilliant idea?

624
00:35:44,460 --> 00:35:47,070
I must have had something that
was so it was must have been so

625
00:35:47,070 --> 00:35:47,850
profound.

626
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,540
We should end the show, but then
not stop recording because we

627
00:35:51,540 --> 00:35:54,180
wind up in trouble that way?
Because it sounds like we had a

628
00:35:54,180 --> 00:35:55,680
billion dollar idea there.

629
00:35:56,099 --> 00:35:58,499
Yeah, there was it was so
profound that I didn't feel the

630
00:35:58,499 --> 00:36:02,369
need to even write down what it
was about. Yeah, because it was

631
00:36:02,369 --> 00:36:04,679
so profound, obviously. Because
I've come to the conclusion.

632
00:36:04,679 --> 00:36:08,129
That's the way I take notes that
I've always believed that if I

633
00:36:08,129 --> 00:36:12,179
just write down just a golf just
a general you know, something

634
00:36:12,179 --> 00:36:14,369
general about it, because I
don't need to put the details

635
00:36:14,369 --> 00:36:18,479
down because it's so profound. I
never remember what it was. So

636
00:36:18,479 --> 00:36:21,869
that's a tip for you note takers
out there. Don't do that.

637
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,410
So I don't know. I can't
remember. I can't remember

638
00:36:25,410 --> 00:36:25,770
either.

639
00:36:26,790 --> 00:36:29,310
So okay, now your list. Hmm.

640
00:36:30,659 --> 00:36:31,799
Well, let's start with

641
00:36:33,510 --> 00:36:38,490
fantastic water landing nice
ditch by the pilots of US

642
00:36:38,490 --> 00:36:41,130
Airways in the Hudson River.
That was pretty spectacular this

643
00:36:41,130 --> 00:36:43,230
week. Right? And

644
00:36:43,889 --> 00:36:46,199
Kristin, they immediately
sequestered the guy and gave him

645
00:36:46,199 --> 00:36:46,889
drug testing.

646
00:36:46,889 --> 00:36:50,729
Well, yeah, dude, he's been
like, he like, Oh, he's just a

647
00:36:50,729 --> 00:36:53,789
quiet guy, you know, because
what they're doing right now is

648
00:36:53,789 --> 00:36:56,729
telling him this is the story.
This is what you must repeat.

649
00:36:56,729 --> 00:36:59,519
This is what happened. This is
how I went you, there were a

650
00:36:59,519 --> 00:37:03,989
flock of geese flock of geese
flock of geese. Which is totally

651
00:37:03,989 --> 00:37:07,349
possible. But I've been, you
know, aviation story's interest

652
00:37:07,349 --> 00:37:11,969
me. Since I'm an aviator. And
the to the here's three things I

653
00:37:11,969 --> 00:37:15,899
want to know, one, I did not see
any, you know, when when, when

654
00:37:15,899 --> 00:37:19,799
you have these migrating flocks
of birds and geese is is like

655
00:37:19,799 --> 00:37:22,799
the worst kind. Obviously,
there's a lot of warnings that

656
00:37:22,799 --> 00:37:25,619
go out. I mean, there's no tabs
there, which just means notice

657
00:37:25,619 --> 00:37:30,749
to Airmen, and, and you anywhere
you're flying Air Traffic

658
00:37:30,749 --> 00:37:33,239
Control is gonna be all over
this all the time, they'll say

659
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,389
up to 4000 feet, you know, you
got migrating birds, and they're

660
00:37:36,389 --> 00:37:39,389
real careful about it. Because
if you really do run into a

661
00:37:39,389 --> 00:37:42,089
flock of anything, almost
depending on size of aircraft,

662
00:37:42,089 --> 00:37:47,039
yeah, that's messed up. Can't
find any of it. They say that he

663
00:37:47,039 --> 00:37:50,369
declared an emergency, which I'm
sure he did. Now, I've got you

664
00:37:50,369 --> 00:37:55,709
know, I'm a member of all the
ATC stream sites where you can

665
00:37:55,709 --> 00:37:59,189
listen to air traffic control
all day, which is kind of on the

666
00:37:59,189 --> 00:38:05,039
same level of interest as your
wrestling fascination. And I

667
00:38:05,039 --> 00:38:08,339
can't find any recording
anywhere or you know, archive,

668
00:38:08,339 --> 00:38:11,429
not online, stuff like that, or
you know, there is no archive.

669
00:38:12,749 --> 00:38:16,169
So I just like to know if the
actual circumstances were there.

670
00:38:17,069 --> 00:38:19,859
Because they it was so quick,
you know, it's like, oh, it was

671
00:38:19,859 --> 00:38:23,579
it was a flock of a flock of
geese. And I'm just not seeing

672
00:38:23,579 --> 00:38:26,099
any official reports. And
there's definitely questions in

673
00:38:26,099 --> 00:38:33,059
the aviation world as to Okay.
One second. When you have an

674
00:38:33,059 --> 00:38:36,839
aeroplane in this kind of
trouble for six minutes, you

675
00:38:36,839 --> 00:38:39,449
would have expected certainly
around New York, that there

676
00:38:39,449 --> 00:38:41,609
would have been something
scrambled or you would have read

677
00:38:41,609 --> 00:38:46,799
that someone was put into
action, but none of that. And

678
00:38:46,829 --> 00:38:50,849
for the greenies out there, did
he dump all his fuel, because I

679
00:38:50,849 --> 00:38:54,629
presume that you know, he took
off heavy completely loaded had

680
00:38:54,629 --> 00:38:59,009
to have dumped tonnes of fuel
into the Hudson, I guess, in

681
00:38:59,009 --> 00:39:00,959
order to keep this thing
floating, because, you know,

682
00:39:00,959 --> 00:39:03,719
that's the only reason I can see
why the aeroplane floated is

683
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,099
because he had dumped his fuel.

684
00:39:05,730 --> 00:39:09,090
Well, there's two things about
that they did talk about one is

685
00:39:09,090 --> 00:39:12,390
that kerosene is lighter than
water. So that's not necessarily

686
00:39:12,420 --> 00:39:15,120
going to sink it. But the but I
think

687
00:39:15,149 --> 00:39:17,969
safety precautions if you have
enough time, you're instructed

688
00:39:17,969 --> 00:39:19,679
to dump your fuel. Right?

689
00:39:19,709 --> 00:39:21,809
And they'd have to be dumping it
right over the bridge because he

690
00:39:21,809 --> 00:39:26,009
wouldn't run over that bridge.
And which doesn't sound like a

691
00:39:26,009 --> 00:39:31,499
good idea. And they also the air
buses have a special feature.

692
00:39:32,159 --> 00:39:36,479
Unlike the Boeing planes where
they lock up the you push a

693
00:39:36,479 --> 00:39:42,029
button and it locks up the cargo
and ever all this is apparently

694
00:39:42,059 --> 00:39:44,369
like a bladder or something
inside and they just hit the

695
00:39:44,369 --> 00:39:47,909
locks. Eric Yeah, you can look
this one up. Yeah. And it was

696
00:39:47,909 --> 00:39:49,889
like a big deal because
according to each one of these,

697
00:39:49,889 --> 00:39:53,669
my wife was listening to the
chat in in the Seattle area,

698
00:39:53,669 --> 00:39:56,189
which has because the plane was
eventually going to Seattle. So

699
00:39:56,189 --> 00:39:58,769
there was a lot of people
talking on all the talk shows up

700
00:39:58,769 --> 00:40:01,739
there. Now it's Some pilot
called in talking about this

701
00:40:01,769 --> 00:40:04,469
this feature of the Airbus that
it could seal off the bomb. So

702
00:40:04,469 --> 00:40:07,829
there's a water landing that the
plane can continue to float.

703
00:40:08,039 --> 00:40:11,549
Yeah. Because you can't bust up
the bottom. And he was

704
00:40:11,579 --> 00:40:15,749
commenting that when this
feature was developed, everybody

705
00:40:15,749 --> 00:40:18,269
in the industry was, were
laughing at it thing and what a

706
00:40:18,269 --> 00:40:21,089
stupid idea like that's going to
do any good. I mean, what's the

707
00:40:21,089 --> 00:40:24,269
point? And there you go, and so
and so meanwhile, now they're

708
00:40:24,269 --> 00:40:25,889
all going wow, that's cool.

709
00:40:26,130 --> 00:40:29,250
And so what I missed was that no
one came out with a life

710
00:40:29,250 --> 00:40:30,870
preserver on no one put it on.

711
00:40:31,380 --> 00:40:34,260
I know that that's why I blogged
that picture. That picture

712
00:40:34,260 --> 00:40:35,280
that's going around, no one's

713
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,820
got their life preserver and
where and you know, you know,

714
00:40:38,820 --> 00:40:42,060
the the placard the card in the
in your in the seat back in

715
00:40:42,060 --> 00:40:45,600
front of you. It always has the
beautiful slides that are like

716
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,930
inflated, none of that they they
inflate one of those rafted

717
00:40:48,930 --> 00:40:53,280
overturned and then floated
away. And this this when it

718
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,790
comes to the water landing the
the water landing itself

719
00:40:56,790 --> 00:40:59,730
fantastic. I mean, great job.
The plane didn't disintegrate. I

720
00:40:59,730 --> 00:41:00,780
mean, hallelujah

721
00:41:01,710 --> 00:41:06,030
showed a they showed on on CBS,
they showed some of the other

722
00:41:06,030 --> 00:41:09,270
attempts to do to make water
landings. Oh, it's just like

723
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:13,410
just so rarely successful. And
they showed this one where it

724
00:41:13,410 --> 00:41:14,160
looks like a bit again.

725
00:41:14,369 --> 00:41:17,489
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I have to
correct you. That is not true.

726
00:41:17,519 --> 00:41:21,839
90% of water ditching is very
successful. I mean, everyone

727
00:41:21,839 --> 00:41:25,919
walks away or lives. So that's
not true. Well, that's it with a

728
00:41:25,949 --> 00:41:28,349
portfolio of course, because
what they're showing they're

729
00:41:28,349 --> 00:41:33,239
showing that 747 that the
wingtip hits the hits the water,

730
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,909
and it goes a car. Yeah, but
that was hijacked. You know, the

731
00:41:35,909 --> 00:41:39,989
guy there were like hijackers in
the cockpit, and the pilot just

732
00:41:39,989 --> 00:41:43,529
lost control the last moment,
but still, this isn't a bus 320

733
00:41:43,529 --> 00:41:47,189
has a much lower approach speed.
In fact, you can fly it right up

734
00:41:47,189 --> 00:41:50,129
to the stall speeds, that's
about 150 miles an hour, which

735
00:41:50,129 --> 00:41:53,879
seems fast. But for an aircraft
that size, it's not. Right,

736
00:41:53,879 --> 00:41:58,739
whereas a 747 has a much higher
speed. But there's actually

737
00:41:58,919 --> 00:42:01,379
they've released a video now.
And if you've seen it, it's a

738
00:42:01,379 --> 00:42:05,009
stationary camera on the Hudson.
And you see the plane just as

739
00:42:05,009 --> 00:42:08,699
it's hitting the water. That
thing comes to a standstill

740
00:42:08,699 --> 00:42:11,699
within a plane length. You know,
it's like, the engines, of

741
00:42:11,699 --> 00:42:13,799
course, got ripped off
immediately there at the bottom

742
00:42:13,799 --> 00:42:16,979
of the Hudson. So, you know,
when you're doing it with an

743
00:42:16,979 --> 00:42:20,189
aircraft smaller, that's when
your chances are larger, but

744
00:42:20,189 --> 00:42:24,359
still, it's 90%. Because these
statistics are known of all

745
00:42:24,359 --> 00:42:27,059
water ditches are successful.

746
00:42:27,570 --> 00:42:30,450
Okay, well, that's good to know.
Anyway, yeah, nobody came out

747
00:42:30,450 --> 00:42:32,760
with their life vests, which
was, I still think is somewhat

748
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:38,730
baffling. And the other thing
is, is that yeah, what did cause

749
00:42:38,730 --> 00:42:41,220
this problem? If it wasn't the
birds, there was no evidence of

750
00:42:41,220 --> 00:42:41,760
birds.

751
00:42:41,790 --> 00:42:46,200
Well, I just like the evidence
I'm okay with. It sounds very

752
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,320
believable. But you know, when
there's birds, a big flock,

753
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,810
that's a real fluke. You know,
that's a real and this time of

754
00:42:51,810 --> 00:42:54,390
year. I mean, there's just a lot
of things like, wow, I'm not

755
00:42:54,390 --> 00:42:57,210
looking for a conspiracy. I'm
just saying, I want to know

756
00:42:57,210 --> 00:42:58,620
more, because I'm really
interested. And it

757
00:42:58,620 --> 00:43:01,320
always takes me nice that we
knew who was on board that maybe

758
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:02,640
somebody would like to I

759
00:43:02,639 --> 00:43:06,059
do know that we're several Bank
of America, executives on board.

760
00:43:06,059 --> 00:43:06,539
Actually.

761
00:43:07,679 --> 00:43:10,529
That makes sense. So we're going
to Charlotte on just where Bank

762
00:43:10,529 --> 00:43:11,639
of America is headquartered

763
00:43:11,639 --> 00:43:15,929
town the very same day that Bank
of America received. Another was

764
00:43:15,929 --> 00:43:17,099
a 20 30 billion.

765
00:43:17,820 --> 00:43:21,030
Yes, some. What's kind of
suspicious,

766
00:43:21,060 --> 00:43:26,100
I like the flight tracker flight
aware.com. So it has departure

767
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:31,890
time scheduled 3:04pm. Eastern
actual departure time 326

768
00:43:32,130 --> 00:43:39,480
arrival time estimated 438
actual 332 flight time duration

769
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,990
of flight six minutes. It's
great that you see the whole

770
00:43:42,990 --> 00:43:45,390
dogleg and you can see there's
there's a point where he

771
00:43:45,390 --> 00:43:48,450
completely deviates from his
track. And I think that's his

772
00:43:48,450 --> 00:43:51,060
decision point, but it doesn't
have an altitude or anything.

773
00:43:51,090 --> 00:43:55,800
I'm just interested in, you
know, with all types of mishaps

774
00:43:56,190 --> 00:43:58,230
and you just want to know what
happened because you learn from

775
00:43:58,230 --> 00:44:04,500
it. But but it's with most
mishaps you're always hearing

776
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:09,060
Yeah, we don't know the exact
problem yet but yeah, well how

777
00:44:09,060 --> 00:44:11,940
come I can't hear recording this
stuff is recorded you know,

778
00:44:11,940 --> 00:44:15,000
these are all air traffic
control it will be cool to hear

779
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:15,240
it

780
00:44:16,139 --> 00:44:18,929
well let's go back to the theory
that these two these bankers

781
00:44:18,929 --> 00:44:24,359
were like a target of some sort.
And let's say no and I'm not

782
00:44:24,389 --> 00:44:25,859
believe in any of this. By the
way.

783
00:44:26,460 --> 00:44:28,890
I have an article here about it.
Hold on a sec, just for the

784
00:44:28,890 --> 00:44:30,030
purpose of

785
00:44:30,030 --> 00:44:33,930
argument. Yeah, if you wanted to
not kill these bankers, but you

786
00:44:33,930 --> 00:44:37,020
wanted to scare the crap out of
the show that you could kill

787
00:44:37,020 --> 00:44:40,440
them. This is a good one of mine
if you'd put them on a plane

788
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,590
with the absolute best pilot in
the world, which

789
00:44:43,589 --> 00:44:47,879
happens to be this guy was is
the guy right? He's, he's highly

790
00:44:47,879 --> 00:44:48,329
decorated.

791
00:44:49,140 --> 00:44:53,310
He teaches how to ditch a plane.
Yeah. And so you're putting him

792
00:44:53,310 --> 00:44:57,810
on that plane and then, you
know, see, you know, scare the

793
00:44:57,810 --> 00:45:01,410
crap out of him. And then Let's
see what happens if they play

794
00:45:01,410 --> 00:45:03,960
ball they may have been
reluctant to I mean they they

795
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:05,820
already showed a little
reluctance to buy the Merrill

796
00:45:05,820 --> 00:45:06,510
Lynch

797
00:45:10,739 --> 00:45:14,639
Oh, John, John love it here
here's an article Hold on a

798
00:45:14,639 --> 00:45:20,189
second. There's something about
it from nation and world what is

799
00:45:20,189 --> 00:45:25,379
that? Some commie rag John? No
wait a minute. Seattle Times.

800
00:45:25,619 --> 00:45:31,559
Yeah call me rag just got a load
of for a second I was loading

801
00:45:31,559 --> 00:45:36,209
very slowly. Someone must really
like it oh here we go Darren

802
00:45:36,209 --> 00:45:36,689
back

803
00:45:41,639 --> 00:45:43,109
doesn't say much about

804
00:45:51,210 --> 00:45:54,030
sales there was a Joe Hart
salesman with investment firm

805
00:45:54,030 --> 00:45:55,200
ing.

806
00:45:57,090 --> 00:45:58,410
Molly schugel

807
00:46:00,810 --> 00:46:04,080
schugel a Bank of America
executive came to regret her

808
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,180
choice of three inch heels.
Okay.

809
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,790
That's what it all made out of
these three inch shields.

810
00:46:12,449 --> 00:46:18,269
That I'll teach him dammit. Five
inches or nothing dammit. Hey

811
00:46:18,269 --> 00:46:25,049
them after change.gov We now
have recovery.gov

812
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,280
we Oh, really? It's a new one.

813
00:46:29,310 --> 00:46:32,790
Yeah, yeah, it's it hasn't
launched yet. But this is for

814
00:46:32,790 --> 00:46:35,220
the the stimulus package.

815
00:46:35,699 --> 00:46:38,489
Yeah, I'm sure they're going to
be taking more donations for the

816
00:46:38,489 --> 00:46:41,939
Obama campaign for the stimulus.
We're gonna stop that keep

817
00:46:41,939 --> 00:46:45,569
taking whenever we stop hearing
Obama giving campaign speeches.

818
00:46:45,569 --> 00:46:48,089
Did you see the latest? The
latest one he gave to his

819
00:46:48,089 --> 00:46:49,469
daughter's in the fall?

820
00:46:49,860 --> 00:46:53,940
Yeah. And in Parade Magazine,
which is the which is

821
00:46:53,940 --> 00:46:57,060
distributed door to door around
the country. It's like 80

822
00:46:57,060 --> 00:46:59,760
million people read this. I
mean, you know, getting

823
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,660
something in Parade Magazine is
distribution to the masses.

824
00:47:04,110 --> 00:47:06,990
Right. And we you know, of
course, the private letter that

825
00:47:06,990 --> 00:47:09,750
you're gonna send to your
daughters is published in Parade

826
00:47:09,750 --> 00:47:15,450
magazine. I mean, give me a
frickin break. It's one thing to

827
00:47:15,450 --> 00:47:18,780
take your your future son in law
to, you know, for his first lap

828
00:47:18,780 --> 00:47:22,080
dance. But this this just, this
just takes it all?

829
00:47:23,100 --> 00:47:25,710
Yeah, well, you're a lightweight
by comparison that this crowd

830
00:47:25,710 --> 00:47:28,560
really, really? I have so much
to learn.

831
00:47:30,060 --> 00:47:35,280
Amen. But I read the stimulus
package. And it's pretty

832
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,070
interesting, John, there's lots
of money to be made.

833
00:47:39,210 --> 00:47:41,730
Let's make some what are we
doing sitting here talking to

834
00:47:41,730 --> 00:47:45,900
each other? Because that's the
easiest, more action. Let's talk

835
00:47:45,900 --> 00:47:46,530
more do

836
00:47:46,590 --> 00:47:49,650
but I just want. So this is the
preamble. I don't know if

837
00:47:49,650 --> 00:47:53,640
they're if they if this is
intended for civilians to read?

838
00:47:54,210 --> 00:47:59,190
Or if they really think senators
and congressmen are complete

839
00:47:59,190 --> 00:48:04,740
morons. Because right, right on
the front page since 2001, as

840
00:48:04,740 --> 00:48:08,220
worker productivity went up 96%
of the income growth in this

841
00:48:08,220 --> 00:48:12,120
country went to the wealthiest
10% of society. While they were

842
00:48:12,150 --> 00:48:15,300
Yeah, well hold on. While they
were benefiting from record high

843
00:48:15,300 --> 00:48:19,140
worker productivity. The
remaining 90% of Americans were

844
00:48:19,140 --> 00:48:23,010
struggling to sustain their
standard of living. They

845
00:48:23,010 --> 00:48:26,820
sustained it by borrowing and
borrowing and borrowing. And

846
00:48:26,820 --> 00:48:30,180
when they couldn't borrow any
more, the bottom fell out. This

847
00:48:30,180 --> 00:48:34,320
plan will strengthen the middle
class, not just Wall Street CEOs

848
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:38,760
and special interest in
Washington. I mean,

849
00:48:39,180 --> 00:48:40,650
well, it says that this is

850
00:48:40,650 --> 00:48:46,050
a front page, baby. Front page.
And bold. It's pretty bold.

851
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,380
Yeah, there's just a couple
things I just highlighted and if

852
00:48:49,380 --> 00:48:52,110
anything strikes you. So first
of all, I love the fact there

853
00:48:52,110 --> 00:48:56,460
are no earmarks in this package.
Well, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's not

854
00:48:56,460 --> 00:48:59,790
yet exactly the whole point and
earmark as it comes after this

855
00:48:59,820 --> 00:49:05,040
part. But the executive summary
says there will be a historic

856
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:09,660
level of transparency oversight
and accountability. It will help

857
00:49:09,660 --> 00:49:13,470
guarantee taxpayer dollars are
spent wisely and American Seed

858
00:49:13,470 --> 00:49:15,630
can see results for their
investments. That's what

859
00:49:15,630 --> 00:49:19,560
recovery.org is all about. So
you can track who's getting

860
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:24,360
what. And I think the with a lot
of the big money is going to

861
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:29,880
energy $32 billion to transform
the nation's energy transmission

862
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,240
distribution and production
systems by allowing for a

863
00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:37,980
smarter and better grid and
focusing investment in renewable

864
00:49:37,980 --> 00:49:42,720
technology. What the fuck does
that mean? Is there something

865
00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:45,510
wrong with the National Grid? Is
it not right?

866
00:49:46,350 --> 00:49:49,500
Oh, no. Works for me. Why don't
you read that again?

867
00:49:49,980 --> 00:49:55,260
30. So $32 billion, will go to
transform the nation's energy

868
00:49:55,260 --> 00:49:59,550
transmission distribution and
production systems by allowing

869
00:49:59,550 --> 00:50:03,690
for a smarter and better grid
and focusing investment in

870
00:50:03,690 --> 00:50:07,470
renewable technology. I mean,
that is, that's just a bunch of

871
00:50:07,470 --> 00:50:12,540
horseshit. That's nothing. It
means nothing. renewable

872
00:50:12,540 --> 00:50:16,230
technology, what's renewable
technology like rewritable,

873
00:50:16,230 --> 00:50:17,400
optical disks,

874
00:50:17,850 --> 00:50:18,840
wind power.

875
00:50:20,190 --> 00:50:22,950
Now that's not but that's under
a separate multibillion dollar

876
00:50:22,950 --> 00:50:23,400
heading.

877
00:50:25,170 --> 00:50:28,530
Well, the most renewable energy
that I know of is wood,

878
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:32,580
not renewable technology, not
renewable technology, not

879
00:50:32,820 --> 00:50:34,680
technology, technology. What's

880
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,560
renewable technology doesn't
make sense. That word what is

881
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,950
renewable technology? I mean,
give me some of that.

882
00:50:41,969 --> 00:50:44,909
That's a good question. I don't
know what renewable technology

883
00:50:44,909 --> 00:50:46,409
is somebody, maybe somebody is

884
00:50:46,409 --> 00:50:52,109
rewritable optical disks. To
new, renewable, it's all new,

885
00:50:52,109 --> 00:50:52,439
again,

886
00:50:52,469 --> 00:50:55,799
flash memory with flash memory.

887
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,800
Okay, here's something. Did, you
know fact, for every dollar

888
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,080
invested in broadband, as in

889
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,920
broadband Internet access this
in that same paper? Yes, I'm

890
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,550
just reading verbatim. For every
dollar invested in broadband,

891
00:51:11,580 --> 00:51:17,700
the economy sees a 10 fold
return on that investment. What

892
00:51:18,300 --> 00:51:22,380
it says document this most of
the investment in broadband in

893
00:51:22,380 --> 00:51:25,380
my regards, it makes me spend
more time wasting time on the

894
00:51:25,410 --> 00:51:26,880
net surfing the web.

895
00:51:27,300 --> 00:51:31,290
Well, we need to put scientists
to work. That's not you, by the

896
00:51:31,290 --> 00:51:35,160
way, people. That's not you. We
need to put scientists to work

897
00:51:35,220 --> 00:51:38,490
looking for the next great
discovery, creating jobs and

898
00:51:38,490 --> 00:51:42,210
cutting edge technologies, and
making smart investments that

899
00:51:42,210 --> 00:51:45,420
will help business in every
community succeed in a global

900
00:51:45,420 --> 00:51:48,630
economy. For every dollar
invested in broadband, the

901
00:51:48,630 --> 00:51:52,410
economy sees a 10 fold return on
that investment. So, John,

902
00:51:52,530 --> 00:51:53,040
there's 10.

903
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,020
And it says Who?

904
00:51:56,010 --> 00:52:00,210
The president the office of the
president elect bonehead. Now,

905
00:52:00,210 --> 00:52:03,240
this is an actual document from
the house. Okay, this is the

906
00:52:03,240 --> 00:52:04,830
actual plan that has been

907
00:52:05,730 --> 00:52:07,800
just like the way they throw us,
you know, it's like, you know,

908
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,280
people just throw at these these
stats, these statistics, and

909
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,260
there's no documentation to
indicate,

910
00:52:13,889 --> 00:52:16,469
which is why I bring it up. I
hope I'm starting to piss you

911
00:52:16,469 --> 00:52:19,859
off. So anyway, 10 billion will
be going to science facilities,

912
00:52:19,859 --> 00:52:24,509
research and instrumentation,
scalpels and stuff, and 6

913
00:52:24,509 --> 00:52:29,099
billion, 6 billion to expand
broadband Internet access. So

914
00:52:29,099 --> 00:52:32,969
business and rural and other
underserved areas can link up to

915
00:52:32,969 --> 00:52:37,229
the global economy. Then there's
a whole bunch of stuff about

916
00:52:37,229 --> 00:52:40,349
roads, bridges, transit, 10
billion for transit and rail to

917
00:52:40,349 --> 00:52:43,589
reduce traffic congestion, which
seems like nothing. 10 billion

918
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:47,459
is nothing in the train world.
Oh, here's my favourite $20

919
00:52:47,459 --> 00:52:51,929
billion for health information
technology, which I presume will

920
00:52:51,929 --> 00:52:56,819
be renewable to prevent medical
mistakes, provide better care to

921
00:52:56,819 --> 00:53:02,369
patients and introduce cost
saving efficiencies. Now, they

922
00:53:02,369 --> 00:53:04,919
have they tried this in the
United Kingdom with the national

923
00:53:04,949 --> 00:53:10,679
national health service. And
this thing is already I think 3

924
00:53:10,709 --> 00:53:16,259
billion pounds over budget does
not work is not implemented.

925
00:53:16,259 --> 00:53:21,899
It's an albatross for, for the
Labour Party. And you know, the

926
00:53:21,899 --> 00:53:25,499
same because this is, you know,
this is like the world's largest

927
00:53:25,499 --> 00:53:29,519
IT project, you know, this
always fails these, you know,

928
00:53:29,519 --> 00:53:32,579
you get all these big contracts
and you know, Oracle and

929
00:53:32,579 --> 00:53:35,399
Microsoft and everyone tries to
work together and they all mean

930
00:53:35,399 --> 00:53:39,479
well, and it's always years late
milk, billions over budget. And

931
00:53:39,479 --> 00:53:43,859
by then, you know, we're dead
doesn't matter anymore. But I

932
00:53:43,859 --> 00:53:46,829
just thought $20 billion to
train, you know, who is that

933
00:53:46,829 --> 00:53:47,489
going to?

934
00:53:49,500 --> 00:53:51,870
I don't know, but I think we had
to find some way for it to go to

935
00:53:51,870 --> 00:53:52,380
us.

936
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,400
Here it is reliable, efficient
electricity grid that come at

937
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:00,870
it's another one $11 billion for
research and development pilot

938
00:54:00,870 --> 00:54:04,770
projects and federal matching
funds for smart grid investment

939
00:54:04,770 --> 00:54:10,440
programme to modernise the
electricity grid making it more

940
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:14,520
efficient, secure and reliable,
and build new power lines to

941
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:21,930
transmit clean. Oh God, and new
builds new power lines to

942
00:54:21,930 --> 00:54:25,440
transmit clean renewable energy
from sources throughout the

943
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:29,400
nation. Because we don't want no
dirty power. We want clean power

944
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:34,380
running through a clean new
grid. I'm just amazed. I didn't

945
00:54:34,380 --> 00:54:35,520
know the grid was in trouble.

946
00:54:37,170 --> 00:54:39,390
Apparently it is and $2 billion

947
00:54:39,780 --> 00:54:44,310
for the advanced battery loan
guarantee and grants programme

948
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:49,110
to support us $2 billion. This
is great man. You'll love it for

949
00:54:49,110 --> 00:54:53,790
the advanced battery loan
guarantee and grant programme to

950
00:54:53,790 --> 00:54:57,210
support us manufacturers of
advanced vehicle batteries and

951
00:54:57,210 --> 00:55:00,840
battery systems because
America's could lead the world

952
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,360
in transforming the way
automobiles are powered?

953
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,810
Well, you know, that was early
on, it was predicted that, in

954
00:55:09,810 --> 00:55:15,090
fact, I remember watching some
talk show six months ago with

955
00:55:15,090 --> 00:55:18,510
some people from Detroit,
discussing the fact that these

956
00:55:18,510 --> 00:55:20,580
cars are all going to be
electric, you know, they the

957
00:55:20,580 --> 00:55:23,400
whole hydrogen thing was a smoke
screen, there's not going to

958
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,410
ever get to be that's never
going to happen in a million

959
00:55:25,410 --> 00:55:28,710
years. But they all you know,
did pay lip service to it. But

960
00:55:28,740 --> 00:55:33,480
behind the scenes, this electric
car idea was what was everyone

961
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:38,640
was kind of gravitating toward.
Nobody wants to talk about the

962
00:55:38,730 --> 00:55:40,230
mess. Yeah, but

963
00:55:40,230 --> 00:55:44,220
but that we just gave Nick but
we just gave all these. Yeah,

964
00:55:44,220 --> 00:55:47,190
and of course what happens when
the batteries are gone, right?

965
00:55:48,990 --> 00:55:51,150
But we just gave these guys
billions of dollars. Now we're

966
00:55:51,150 --> 00:55:53,310
gonna give another 2 billion to
figure out how to do the

967
00:55:53,310 --> 00:55:56,280
batteries. And they've been
pulling their pods for all these

968
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:56,880
years.

969
00:55:59,130 --> 00:56:01,710
Yeah, it's a giveaway. It's just
a it's a giveaway. The

970
00:56:01,710 --> 00:56:06,330
whole thing is this kills me 300
million for grants and loans to

971
00:56:06,330 --> 00:56:09,270
state and local governments for
projects that reduce diesel

972
00:56:09,270 --> 00:56:12,960
emissions. Diesels burn some
fucking clean these days they're

973
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:14,010
trying to get rid of diesel

974
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:16,980
cars they've been trying to ya
know, at first they started with

975
00:56:16,980 --> 00:56:22,710
the with requiring so called low
sulphur diesel. And then that's

976
00:56:22,710 --> 00:56:24,900
what jacked up the price of
diesel. If you go to the pumps,

977
00:56:24,900 --> 00:56:27,870
you go to South when you looked
up there during the heyday of

978
00:56:27,870 --> 00:56:31,440
the bullshit oil prices, and you
look at there you go. Why is

979
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:35,130
diesel more expensive than
premium gasoline when it used to

980
00:56:35,130 --> 00:56:39,270
be you know, the price of
regular or cheaper? So then, you

981
00:56:39,270 --> 00:56:43,110
know, somebody who asked because
of the diesels being, you know,

982
00:56:43,110 --> 00:56:47,010
has to have special low sulphur.
All right,

983
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,350
I guess what I'm, you know, I
could read through this whole

984
00:56:49,350 --> 00:56:50,700
thing, and there's six. I don't
know

985
00:56:50,700 --> 00:56:52,770
why they're trying to get rid of
diesel doesn't make any sense to

986
00:56:52,770 --> 00:56:53,010
me.

987
00:56:54,420 --> 00:56:56,550
Well, because they're clearly
going for the whole electric

988
00:56:56,550 --> 00:57:00,150
vibe. You know, this is what
this is what all these guys

989
00:57:00,180 --> 00:57:02,790
gasoline. This is what all these
guys invested in, you know, this

990
00:57:02,790 --> 00:57:05,670
is what Kleiner Perkins built
their their green tech fund for

991
00:57:05,670 --> 00:57:09,990
us for everything I'm reading
here. Yeah, everything. Of

992
00:57:09,990 --> 00:57:14,070
course, John Doerr is at the
will be at the inauguration on I

993
00:57:14,070 --> 00:57:17,940
think he's actually on stage at
the inauguration. No. Oh, yeah.

994
00:57:17,940 --> 00:57:22,890
One of the other side seats,
dude. He's way deep inside.

995
00:57:22,890 --> 00:57:23,040
Yeah.

996
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,770
Well, I know he's a big
believer, he managed to call and

997
00:57:25,770 --> 00:57:28,680
get them to need to get a lot of
money for him. Yeah. And he's

998
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,770
trying to I know, he's always
been angling for a Democrat to

999
00:57:31,770 --> 00:57:34,500
get in so he can become an
ambassador. I mean, he was

1000
00:57:34,500 --> 00:57:37,500
hoping to be Secretary of State
or something like that. Maybe

1001
00:57:37,500 --> 00:57:39,510
he'll be the technology advisor
because they're gonna move that

1002
00:57:39,510 --> 00:57:41,580
other guy to the FCC or
something. John

1003
00:57:41,580 --> 00:57:44,430
Doerr be a great person for that
job. But I also think it'd be

1004
00:57:44,460 --> 00:57:48,390
easy. Why don't we get him the
ambassador ship in the Bahamas?

1005
00:57:48,870 --> 00:57:50,130
Because you know, then we can go
visit.

1006
00:57:51,420 --> 00:57:53,340
Well, let's make it someplace
more interesting than that.

1007
00:57:53,340 --> 00:57:53,880
Well, it's nice

1008
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:58,590
and warm. They got beaches.
Well, where do you want it to

1009
00:57:58,590 --> 00:58:00,210
be? Well, nevermind. I'm not.
I'd like

1010
00:58:00,210 --> 00:58:02,100
to think you should be the
ambassador to France.

1011
00:58:04,170 --> 00:58:06,150
Here it is wireless and
broadband. 6 billion. You

1012
00:58:06,150 --> 00:58:10,140
know, what if he gave you a
door, who we both know, becomes

1013
00:58:10,140 --> 00:58:14,430
the ambassador to any place, he
won't even give us the time of

1014
00:58:14,430 --> 00:58:14,940
day.

1015
00:58:14,969 --> 00:58:21,089
Yeah, you're right. You're
right. So NASA 600 million. Now

1016
00:58:21,089 --> 00:58:25,199
we're paying for NASA that way.
Biomedical advanced research and

1017
00:58:25,199 --> 00:58:28,649
development pandemic flu
cybersecurity, 900 million to

1018
00:58:28,649 --> 00:58:33,419
prepare for a pandemic influenza
900 million a billion dollars to

1019
00:58:33,419 --> 00:58:36,479
prepare for something that has
killed 150 people in a decade,

1020
00:58:37,049 --> 00:58:39,959
support advanced development of
medical countermeasures for

1021
00:58:39,959 --> 00:58:42,419
chemical biological,
radiological, and nuclear

1022
00:58:42,419 --> 00:58:47,159
threats. And for cybersecurity
protection at Homeland Security.

1023
00:58:48,989 --> 00:58:52,049
You know, what I'm seeing is
apart from about 50 billion,

1024
00:58:52,529 --> 00:58:56,189
nothing is going into people's
pockets it's all going into and

1025
00:58:56,369 --> 00:59:01,169
the small business combined
isn't even $800 million where

1026
00:59:01,169 --> 00:59:04,139
they're thrown into small
business, but all these billions

1027
00:59:04,199 --> 00:59:10,799
is all going to big companies.
This is my favourite. This is my

1028
00:59:10,799 --> 00:59:14,309
favourite Transportation
Security Administration

1029
00:59:14,309 --> 00:59:19,679
explosive detection systems $500
million to instal aviation

1030
00:59:19,679 --> 00:59:23,519
explosive detection systems in
the nation's airports improving

1031
00:59:23,519 --> 00:59:27,479
security and making life easier
on travellers by speeding

1032
00:59:27,479 --> 00:59:28,769
security lines

1033
00:59:33,929 --> 00:59:36,809
well of course they can only put
those things in the big airports

1034
00:59:37,739 --> 00:59:40,289
So and there's so many feeder
airports that if you wanted,

1035
00:59:40,530 --> 00:59:43,410
but what is it but what is it
can't just get a fucking dog

1036
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,990
just put the dog there the dogs
are great at this. You don't

1037
00:59:45,990 --> 00:59:49,530
need $500 million. Get a dog at
every airport to sniff the

1038
00:59:49,530 --> 00:59:50,850
luggage that's what they do.

1039
00:59:51,929 --> 00:59:53,669
Actually, the dog prey does a
better job

1040
00:59:53,700 --> 00:59:56,280
that's what I'm saying. Dogs are
fantastic at sniffing out

1041
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:57,630
anything really.

1042
00:59:57,750 --> 01:00:00,090
I always like you know once a
while she you know they have was

1043
01:00:00,090 --> 01:00:02,310
in Seattle region there's a guy
with his dog you know, the

1044
01:00:02,820 --> 01:00:05,430
wandering around is always
hilarious because the dogs look

1045
01:00:05,430 --> 01:00:06,810
like they're having a great time
love

1046
01:00:06,810 --> 01:00:09,030
it of course because you know
they're like Ah, got it I gotta

1047
01:00:09,030 --> 01:00:12,360
get me gotta get me some
explosive. Smells like bacon.

1048
01:00:13,139 --> 01:00:15,719
And so they're roaming around in
this like I always ask the guy

1049
01:00:15,719 --> 01:00:18,479
what kind of a dog it is I say
is that what kind of dog is is

1050
01:00:18,479 --> 01:00:21,779
that a bomb dog? A fruit dog?
There's three kinds of drug drug

1051
01:00:21,780 --> 01:00:25,230
Dog bomb dog and a fruit. Fruit
dog. Yeah, the fruit dog you can

1052
01:00:25,230 --> 01:00:26,760
always recognise buys too, too.

1053
01:00:28,290 --> 01:00:33,120
And so he anyway. And they
always like, oh, yeah, he's a

1054
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:37,860
bomb sniffing dog. Oh, cool. And
you know, and he's going around

1055
01:00:37,860 --> 01:00:40,290
sniffing sniffing, you know,
he's not finding anything.

1056
01:00:41,250 --> 01:00:43,650
It's something great for you in
California, which will be very

1057
01:00:43,650 --> 01:00:49,620
happy with $850 million for
hazardous fuel removal and other

1058
01:00:49,620 --> 01:00:57,510
efforts to prevent wildfires on
public lands. What? I know how

1059
01:00:57,510 --> 01:01:02,310
to pick him $850 million. That's
almost a billion John, for

1060
01:01:02,310 --> 01:01:07,260
hazardous fuel removal and other
efforts, some efforts to prevent

1061
01:01:07,260 --> 01:01:11,370
it was to prevent wildfires on
public lands, making another way

1062
01:01:11,370 --> 01:01:13,380
to might let me finish the
marketing spin. I'm not done

1063
01:01:13,380 --> 01:01:16,410
yet. making these investments
today will create jobs in the

1064
01:01:16,410 --> 01:01:20,370
short run, but also save long
term costs of fighting fires in

1065
01:01:20,370 --> 01:01:21,030
the future.

1066
01:01:22,469 --> 01:01:28,529
Yeah, jobs and weeding, it's
called. So basically, these new

1067
01:01:28,529 --> 01:01:31,979
jobs are created, leading to
labour and.

1068
01:01:34,679 --> 01:01:37,979
But that's, that's 800. Okay, so
it's split up. It's split up

1069
01:01:37,979 --> 01:01:41,759
between 550 million for state
and local volunteer programmes.

1070
01:01:42,059 --> 01:01:45,059
So you volunteer, but somewhere,
someone's getting paid?

1071
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,430
Yeah. 500, organise

1072
01:01:47,429 --> 01:01:51,809
it for hazardous fuel reduction
efforts. It's the only you have

1073
01:01:51,809 --> 01:01:54,749
to succeed just make an effort,
which states and communities

1074
01:01:54,749 --> 01:01:57,929
have determined are of the
highest priority. And then the

1075
01:01:57,929 --> 01:02:01,649
forest, federal Forest Service
wildfires, they I'm sure they

1076
01:02:01,649 --> 01:02:05,909
need a lot of money, so 300
million to them. So it's very

1077
01:02:05,909 --> 01:02:11,489
comprehensive, but I do not see.
I just do not see a lot for you

1078
01:02:11,489 --> 01:02:14,519
know, there's some things in
here they're extending Cobra

1079
01:02:17,609 --> 01:02:20,549
Well, we'll see, you know, this
is just the first pass of it.

1080
01:02:20,549 --> 01:02:25,049
This is what's going in $20
billion to provide nutrition

1081
01:02:25,079 --> 01:02:29,009
assistance to modest income fan
families and to lift

1082
01:02:29,009 --> 01:02:32,129
restrictions that limit the
amount of time individuals can

1083
01:02:32,129 --> 01:02:34,979
receive food stamps for all
you're going to be needing that

1084
01:02:34,979 --> 01:02:40,379
folks will be very happy that's
in there. More food stamps.

1085
01:02:40,860 --> 01:02:44,880
So they're going to add $20
billion to the Food Stamp

1086
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:45,870
programme. Yeah.

1087
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,290
Well, they're really extending
it, I think, is what they're

1088
01:02:49,290 --> 01:02:52,380
doing. So it may not be hard,
hard cash outlay immediately,

1089
01:02:52,380 --> 01:02:57,420
but it's they're going to extend
it. So you could stay on. Yeah.

1090
01:02:58,140 --> 01:03:03,510
But I urge all of our listeners
to download this stimulus

1091
01:03:03,510 --> 01:03:06,630
package. Ah, I think it should
have just grown every single

1092
01:03:06,630 --> 01:03:12,420
Thomas stimulus package. So you
know where your money's going.

1093
01:03:14,909 --> 01:03:16,319
Yeah, down the toilet.

1094
01:03:17,130 --> 01:03:21,360
The Did you watch any of the
financial the financial

1095
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,430
services, hearings,

1096
01:03:24,389 --> 01:03:27,209
or any of the content make sure
to watch that stuff, too. It's

1097
01:03:27,209 --> 01:03:28,259
unfortunate. I missed it all.

1098
01:03:28,530 --> 01:03:34,230
There was. Let me see if I can
find it here. Yeah, this is it.

1099
01:03:34,260 --> 01:03:41,070
Congressman Alan Grayson. Y'all
heard of him. So he, you gotta

1100
01:03:41,070 --> 01:03:42,960
listen. You want to listen to
something for a second hear him

1101
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:46,620
grill but okay. He grills the
the Federal Reserve vice

1102
01:03:46,620 --> 01:03:50,520
chairman and what he's going
after, is, you know, remember,

1103
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,430
we talked about this, that
there's been two or $3 trillion

1104
01:03:53,430 --> 01:03:57,810
dollars that was handed out to
banks. But the Federal Reserve

1105
01:03:57,810 --> 01:04:00,390
refuses to tell the public which

1106
01:04:00,390 --> 01:04:03,900
banks, right, because they don't
want to tell you which banks are

1107
01:04:03,900 --> 01:04:04,500
in trouble.

1108
01:04:04,679 --> 01:04:10,379
Exactly. So let me see if I can
get this going here. So here he

1109
01:04:10,379 --> 01:04:17,309
is. This was earlier this week.
And by the way, Barney Frank,

1110
01:04:17,489 --> 01:04:20,669
Barney Frank who, who's the
chairman of the Financial

1111
01:04:20,669 --> 01:04:23,309
Services Committee? What a dick.

1112
01:04:24,389 --> 01:04:26,639
Oh, yeah, he's terrible by
surprise. You know, this is just

1113
01:04:26,639 --> 01:04:30,779
another example of where New
Yorkers are screwed up.

1114
01:04:31,649 --> 01:04:35,999
Continuing to reelect people
like this. That's the

1115
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:40,020
guy who they were running a
prostitution ring for out of his

1116
01:04:40,020 --> 01:04:45,660
house while he was being screwed
by rent boys. You know, the guy

1117
01:04:45,660 --> 01:04:48,570
does have a little bit of
history of weirdness.

1118
01:04:51,330 --> 01:04:53,310
Listen to you have mentioned
several times today in your

1119
01:04:53,310 --> 01:04:56,100
testimony, the importance of
transparency. Can you explain

1120
01:04:56,100 --> 01:04:57,030
why that's important?

1121
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:05,310
I think the committee has talked
about that several times that it

1122
01:05:05,310 --> 01:05:10,440
wants to see a strategy for how
money's being spent and

1123
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,380
understand how it's being spent
and have reporting.

1124
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:15,690
He's totally he's totally
setting him up, you got to

1125
01:05:15,690 --> 01:05:17,070
listen to it back from

1126
01:05:17,069 --> 01:05:21,389
institutions that it's being
used for the purposes desired.

1127
01:05:21,389 --> 01:05:26,399
And so in order to give
assurances to Congress and

1128
01:05:26,399 --> 01:05:29,639
American taxpayers that it's
been used for appropriate

1129
01:05:30,299 --> 01:05:33,599
purposes, we want greater
transparency and accountability.

1130
01:05:34,020 --> 01:05:36,420
It's fair to say when hundreds
of billions of dollars with the

1131
01:05:36,420 --> 01:05:39,120
taxpayers money is being spent
the taxpayers have a right to

1132
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:44,520
know how, yes, Mr. Cohen, how
much has the balance sheet of

1133
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:46,410
the Federal Reserve increased
since September one?

1134
01:05:47,699 --> 01:05:51,209
It's increased from around 800
billion to about 2 trillion.

1135
01:05:51,690 --> 01:05:52,740
And what was that

1136
01:05:52,739 --> 01:05:58,529
money spent on? That money was
lent, was lent to banks,

1137
01:05:58,559 --> 01:06:03,449
investment banks, it was spent
on lending through the

1138
01:06:03,449 --> 01:06:08,069
commercial paper market. And it
was lent to foreign central

1139
01:06:08,069 --> 01:06:12,149
banks that lent dollars to their
banks to take pressure off the

1140
01:06:12,149 --> 01:06:14,459
US. US dollar mark. So

1141
01:06:14,940 --> 01:06:18,810
he's literally admitting that we
gave money to foreign banks,

1142
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:20,700
which trips me out. So it was

1143
01:06:20,700 --> 01:06:22,350
It wasn't spent, it was

1144
01:06:22,350 --> 01:06:25,590
lent, which institutions receive
it and how much for each

1145
01:06:25,590 --> 01:06:26,250
institution.

1146
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:30,660
I don't know which institutions
which specific institutions

1147
01:06:30,660 --> 01:06:36,540
received it, but by categories
of institutions, that's captured

1148
01:06:36,540 --> 01:06:40,380
in our balance sheet that we've
published each week. In writing,

1149
01:06:40,889 --> 01:06:44,249
there's Barney Frank going well,
he's interrupting, because this

1150
01:06:44,249 --> 01:06:46,589
is the big point what in
writing, Mr. Chairman, so he

1151
01:06:46,589 --> 01:06:49,199
immediately interrupts dick, to
that

1152
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:54,510
question. Okay. But I think I
would, you're going to hold a

1153
01:06:54,510 --> 01:06:57,750
hearing on this, Mr. Chairman,
and I think I would be very,

1154
01:06:57,750 --> 01:07:00,480
very hesitant to give the names
of individual institutions. In

1155
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:02,940
fact, I think it'd be a very bad
idea, because I think would

1156
01:07:02,940 --> 01:07:06,420
undermine the utility of the
facilities that we're giving.

1157
01:07:06,420 --> 01:07:09,090
But I think we should say more
about the categories of

1158
01:07:09,090 --> 01:07:10,680
institutions. You just

1159
01:07:10,679 --> 01:07:14,489
said that $1.2 trillion has been
lent or spent, as the case may

1160
01:07:14,489 --> 01:07:17,729
be, that's $4,000 for every man,
woman and child in this country.

1161
01:07:18,059 --> 01:07:19,859
Don't Americans have the right
to know how you spent that

1162
01:07:19,859 --> 01:07:20,159
money?

1163
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,630
Yes, they have every right to
know, the purposes for which we

1164
01:07:24,630 --> 01:07:29,520
spend it. The types of spending
the types of lending, that's

1165
01:07:30,300 --> 01:07:34,320
oops, Freudian slip, the types
of collateral we're taking and

1166
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:36,060
what we expect to accomplish
with that.

1167
01:07:36,510 --> 01:07:38,850
All right. Well, specifically,
I'd like to know how much was

1168
01:07:38,850 --> 01:07:41,250
given to Credit Suisse. And what
you got in return, how much is

1169
01:07:41,250 --> 01:07:44,790
given the Citibank what you got
to return? If you put out $50

1170
01:07:44,790 --> 01:07:48,150
billion to Credit Suisse, the
taxpayers need to know that.

1171
01:07:48,780 --> 01:07:50,940
I'd be very concerned,
Congressman, that if we

1172
01:07:50,940 --> 01:07:53,640
published the individual names
of who was borrowing from us, no

1173
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:57,240
one would borrow from us, the
purpose becomes a setup is not

1174
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:59,760
to support industries gonna slam
at home now to support the

1175
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:00,810
credit markets.

1176
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,660
Has that ever happened? Have
people ever said we will not

1177
01:08:03,660 --> 01:08:06,330
take your 100 billion dollars?
Because people find out about

1178
01:08:06,330 --> 01:08:06,750
what you said,

1179
01:08:06,750 --> 01:08:09,180
We will not publish the names of
the borrowers? So we'll have no

1180
01:08:09,180 --> 01:08:11,100
test of that. Well, what gave
you

1181
01:08:11,100 --> 01:08:13,710
the authority to say that? Isn't
that something that we should be

1182
01:08:13,710 --> 01:08:14,640
deciding? Not you?

1183
01:08:15,599 --> 01:08:21,179
I think you gave us the
responsibility in the Federal

1184
01:08:21,179 --> 01:08:24,779
Reserve Act to oversee the
stability of the financial

1185
01:08:24,779 --> 01:08:27,569
system through our lending
facilities to be the lender of

1186
01:08:27,569 --> 01:08:30,089
last resort, and we are trying
to execute that to the best of

1187
01:08:30,089 --> 01:08:30,749
our abilities.

1188
01:08:30,780 --> 01:08:33,120
And you're saying that that
entitles you to keep secret the

1189
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:38,040
expenditure of $1.2 trillion
$4,000 for every man, woman and

1190
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:38,910
child in this country?

1191
01:08:39,210 --> 01:08:41,670
I don't think we're keeping it
secret. I think we're releasing

1192
01:08:41,670 --> 01:08:45,120
a lot of information about it
drives me crazy.

1193
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:47,970
So but that's the whole thing.
He's saying the Federal Reserve

1194
01:08:47,970 --> 01:08:51,840
Act, which was enacted in 1913.
You know, these are private

1195
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,180
banks. This is not part of the
government. They just got a

1196
01:08:54,180 --> 01:08:58,740
contract. And this guy like
this, Alan Grayson, he's right

1197
01:08:58,740 --> 01:09:02,490
on man. He goes on he just he
has he smothers this guy, but

1198
01:09:02,490 --> 01:09:06,120
what really pissed me off so the
number one question comes up,

1199
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,460
and we all know that the
question is going to be who did

1200
01:09:08,460 --> 01:09:10,710
you give the money to? And he
goes on, he says, what kind of

1201
01:09:10,710 --> 01:09:12,630
assets Did you receive? Well, I
can I'm not going to tell you

1202
01:09:12,630 --> 01:09:16,140
that. Were they mark to market?
Well, no, they weren't well then

1203
01:09:16,140 --> 01:09:18,120
why don't you just make it
public? So we can actually put a

1204
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:20,790
market value on that shit and we
know it we've got I mean, this

1205
01:09:20,790 --> 01:09:26,130
is the guy is right on. And it's
just and then of course, we look

1206
01:09:26,130 --> 01:09:28,560
at the news and it's all about
Canada

1207
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:31,890
course giving them giving
American taxpayer money to

1208
01:09:31,890 --> 01:09:32,850
foreign bank.

1209
01:09:33,210 --> 01:09:36,510
Banks, man, how can you even
just skip over that one? Oh,

1210
01:09:36,510 --> 01:09:39,990
it's to save the system to save
the entire system.

1211
01:09:40,050 --> 01:09:41,940
Yeah, the foreign banks they
like

1212
01:09:43,170 --> 01:09:49,590
so I read a fantastic quote,
which you will love. I saved it.

1213
01:09:49,620 --> 01:09:56,520
Hold on a second where here it
is. This was see if I have a

1214
01:09:56,520 --> 01:10:03,600
date on it's only not long ago.
This is a quote from Dr. The

1215
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:08,670
Honourable Dr. G gono, who is
Governor of the Reserve Bank of

1216
01:10:08,670 --> 01:10:18,120
Zimbabwe. And he's talking about
what is? Well, first of all,

1217
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:23,790
yeah, Zimbabwe just issued their
first $100 trillion. banknote,

1218
01:10:24,150 --> 01:10:27,090
which we have to go after that
as well, John, because we only

1219
01:10:27,090 --> 01:10:27,510
I,

1220
01:10:27,510 --> 01:10:30,420
I've got people that are trying
to get me to beat you on this

1221
01:10:30,420 --> 01:10:33,330
one, because you beat me on the
100 billion dollar note. Yeah.

1222
01:10:33,510 --> 01:10:37,140
But the 100 trillion is what we
have to get now. So you're okay.

1223
01:10:37,620 --> 01:10:38,820
Well, anyway, so

1224
01:10:41,580 --> 01:10:43,680
I want to get I'm just gonna get
the quote here for a second.

1225
01:10:47,220 --> 01:10:50,640
Okay, so what he's saying is,
it's interesting to see that the

1226
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,460
United States and United
Kingdom's governments are going

1227
01:10:53,460 --> 01:10:58,050
down exactly the same path. We
went here in Zimbabwe, we had

1228
01:10:58,050 --> 01:11:01,260
our near bank failures a few
years ago, and we responded by

1229
01:11:01,260 --> 01:11:04,920
profit by providing the affected
banks with the troubled bank

1230
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,530
Fund, which is exactly what
they're talking about now.

1231
01:11:07,530 --> 01:11:11,400
Exactly what tarp and what the
this new bank that they're

1232
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:15,450
setting up is going to be. For
which we were heavily criticised

1233
01:11:15,480 --> 01:11:18,930
even by some multilateral
institutions, who today are

1234
01:11:18,930 --> 01:11:23,190
silent, when the central banks
of the UK and the USA are going

1235
01:11:23,190 --> 01:11:26,670
the same way and doing the same
thing under the very same

1236
01:11:26,670 --> 01:11:30,720
circumstances, thereby
continuing the unfortunate

1237
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:34,020
hypocrisy that what's good for
the goose is not good for the

1238
01:11:34,020 --> 01:11:38,160
gander. So there's your future.
Ladies and gentlemen, go look at

1239
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:45,060
the $100 trillion note and get
used to it. It's just this

1240
01:11:45,090 --> 01:11:50,520
amazes me. You know, it's and
have you been watching CNBC at

1241
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:54,660
all, John? No, God man, you
should really should make an

1242
01:11:54,660 --> 01:11:57,270
effort to watch Squawk Box so it
probably is probably pretty

1243
01:11:57,270 --> 01:12:00,270
shitty because it comes on
really too early for you on the

1244
01:12:00,270 --> 01:12:00,930
West Coast. I

1245
01:12:00,930 --> 01:12:02,700
have in the morning or
something. Yeah, west coast

1246
01:12:02,700 --> 01:12:04,080
here. My God.

1247
01:12:04,110 --> 01:12:06,570
I mean, they just didn't record
it, though. I can record should

1248
01:12:06,570 --> 01:12:08,880
because now they're just yelling
at the government. What's the

1249
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:13,650
guy mark? The pudgy guy? Yeah,
he literally is like, he lost

1250
01:12:13,650 --> 01:12:17,160
it. Maybe Tuesday or Wednesday.
And he's like, I can't believe

1251
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,860
this government. People who can
run businesses are getting

1252
01:12:19,860 --> 01:12:22,320
screwed and they're giving
billions snow trillions of

1253
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:25,950
dollars to complete morons. He's
like yelling on the show. It's

1254
01:12:25,950 --> 01:12:30,210
just fascinating to watch. And
of course, he's he's absolutely

1255
01:12:30,210 --> 01:12:40,140
right. shipping rates hit zero.
Sorry, shipping rates from Asia

1256
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:44,460
are not you can not as free
shipping. So if you order a

1257
01:12:44,460 --> 01:12:49,260
container, free shipping, that's
how this is you read this story.

1258
01:12:49,290 --> 01:12:53,610
This is in the Telegraph. Wow.
Charles, truck broker at

1259
01:12:53,610 --> 01:12:57,360
transport trackers in Hong Kong,
we have seen trade activity fall

1260
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:01,950
off a cliff Asia to Europe is an
unmitigated disaster shuffle,

1261
01:13:01,950 --> 01:13:02,130
there's

1262
01:13:02,130 --> 01:13:06,330
a couple of things. I was just
gonna say that I want you to

1263
01:13:06,330 --> 01:13:09,300
finish, but I'm sure I'm just
coming back from San Francisco

1264
01:13:09,300 --> 01:13:12,720
and a container ship was coming
through but half empty with a

1265
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:15,810
bunch of empty stalls and they'd
come there's not what they

1266
01:13:15,810 --> 01:13:18,270
dropped something off someplace
before they get to the old No,

1267
01:13:18,300 --> 01:13:21,840
no. And so they was coming
through and I saw that and then

1268
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:26,250
the other day, from where I can
see the train tracks way down

1269
01:13:26,250 --> 01:13:31,230
the hill. And there was a train
pulling those those cargo

1270
01:13:31,230 --> 01:13:34,470
containers. And I always like to
look at the tracks as as an

1271
01:13:34,470 --> 01:13:37,200
economic indicator. Because
sometimes they store cars,

1272
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:40,980
there's all kinds of things you
grinds pick up on it goes by I

1273
01:13:41,070 --> 01:13:45,000
usually and I've seen this train
before it goes by every day at

1274
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,880
certain hour. I mean, I don't
obviously catch it every day,

1275
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:52,620
but I didn't see it for a few
weeks. And it goes by probably

1276
01:13:52,620 --> 01:13:59,100
about 40 cars with four
containers each and perhaps

1277
01:13:59,130 --> 01:14:02,670
another 50 cars. empty empty,

1278
01:14:02,910 --> 01:14:06,480
empty empty I mean it's the
supplies or just stop it well

1279
01:14:06,480 --> 01:14:10,020
it's shit man that Honda has now
extended the closure of their UK

1280
01:14:10,020 --> 01:14:12,810
plant to April or May I think

1281
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:18,990
we're stopping by we finally
given up on the buying crap from

1282
01:14:18,990 --> 01:14:20,880
China in non in a non stop.

1283
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:25,020
This is specific this this
reports on Korea, Taiwan and

1284
01:14:25,020 --> 01:14:29,670
Hong Kong. Not quite entirely
China report.

1285
01:14:30,810 --> 01:14:31,770
I'm just go ahead. I'm sorry.

1286
01:14:31,830 --> 01:14:34,560
I'll just give you some more
data points. A report by a ing

1287
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:38,370
yesterday said shipping activity
at US ports has suddenly dived

1288
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,880
outbound traffic from Long Beach
and Los Angeles America's two

1289
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:45,930
top ports has fallen by 18% year
on year, a far more serious

1290
01:14:45,930 --> 01:14:50,190
decline than anything seen in
recent recessions. This is no

1291
01:14:50,190 --> 01:14:53,100
regular cycle slowdown but a
complete collapse in foreign

1292
01:14:53,100 --> 01:14:55,350
demand. So it's both ways.

1293
01:14:57,300 --> 01:15:00,960
So here's what I'm thinking. If
they're shipped thing is free.

1294
01:15:01,260 --> 01:15:03,450
Let's buy a bunch of stuff you
haven't shipped over

1295
01:15:03,450 --> 01:15:07,410
here. Exactly. It's it's like
the early days of Amazon. You

1296
01:15:07,410 --> 01:15:10,680
know, it's like get free
shipping. Free Shipping.

1297
01:15:11,310 --> 01:15:15,270
It's like if we had a couple of
people in Hong Kong or anywhere

1298
01:15:15,270 --> 01:15:15,810
I mean we could

1299
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:18,900
ship ship for free. It's just no
one wants to buy our shit. We'll

1300
01:15:18,900 --> 01:15:21,270
have containers we'll have free
ship ship. Well, we have

1301
01:15:21,270 --> 01:15:23,520
to I think we should be buying
stuff ourselves. What we'll do

1302
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:27,840
is we'll create a buying club.
In other words, 100 people and

1303
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,360
we all want to buy like some you
know, whatever your art

1304
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:31,470
antiques, I don't know,

1305
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:34,980
a Korean bride. Put them niches
in a container.

1306
01:15:35,730 --> 01:15:38,910
And load up a container with
some of this doesn't even have

1307
01:15:38,910 --> 01:15:40,320
to be full. Obviously.

1308
01:15:40,530 --> 01:15:42,690
It doesn't mean it doesn't make
any difference. You know, we

1309
01:15:42,690 --> 01:15:47,910
could we could just ship over
one item in a container. free

1310
01:15:49,890 --> 01:15:50,490
man,

1311
01:15:50,879 --> 01:15:53,129
and the guy's opened the thing
up is what do you got it? I got?

1312
01:15:53,339 --> 01:15:55,469
I have a I bought a pen.

1313
01:15:57,210 --> 01:16:01,290
But look, it has a laser. And
this is what we talked about

1314
01:16:01,290 --> 01:16:04,950
weeks ago, it became difficult
for the shippers. And you even

1315
01:16:04,980 --> 01:16:07,440
you were surprised when I gave
you this news. But it turns out

1316
01:16:07,440 --> 01:16:09,630
to be pretty true. It became
difficult for the shippers to

1317
01:16:09,630 --> 01:16:13,320
obtain routine letters of credit
at the height of the financial

1318
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:16,410
crisis over the autumn causing
goods to pile up at ports even

1319
01:16:16,410 --> 01:16:19,140
though there was a willing buyer
at the other end. So it's a

1320
01:16:19,140 --> 01:16:23,040
double whammy. So they had
buyers they couldn't ship it

1321
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:26,250
out. Now the buyers are gone.
And now this that just stuck

1322
01:16:26,250 --> 01:16:27,990
with shit that they can't get
rid of.

1323
01:16:29,220 --> 01:16:33,030
Damn. Well the lack of letters
of credit probably did somebody

1324
01:16:33,030 --> 01:16:33,690
a favour.

1325
01:16:34,890 --> 01:16:38,010
Yes, but not but not for
manufacturing, which of course

1326
01:16:38,010 --> 01:16:39,570
is relatively important.

1327
01:16:40,140 --> 01:16:41,310
Yeah, I've noticed

1328
01:16:43,530 --> 01:16:48,690
the net closes even tighter the
Germans now by law, all internet

1329
01:16:48,690 --> 01:16:50,970
traffic will be filtered to
protect the children.

1330
01:16:51,630 --> 01:16:53,310
Oh, it's always the children.
Yes.

1331
01:16:53,340 --> 01:16:57,240
Well, yeah, it's specifically
the children. So they did the

1332
01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:59,310
test. You know, there's a guy in
Finland that's making a big

1333
01:16:59,310 --> 01:17:02,130
stink. And so because in
Finland, they're going to

1334
01:17:02,130 --> 01:17:05,430
protect the children with that,
you know, don't you know, kind

1335
01:17:05,430 --> 01:17:08,460
of a watch list. And so some of
this one guy has been

1336
01:17:08,460 --> 01:17:11,130
researching it. I can't remember
his name. I'm sure somebody you

1337
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:15,300
didn't take much to find it. It
finds that these the watch list

1338
01:17:15,300 --> 01:17:20,430
of the banned list is bullshit.
There's like 123 Maybe potential

1339
01:17:20,430 --> 01:17:24,690
overseas, you know, US based
child porn sites, which, you

1340
01:17:24,690 --> 01:17:26,850
know, we should probably crack
down on

1341
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:31,290
which is relatively easy to
crack down on on an illegal

1342
01:17:31,290 --> 01:17:35,460
website. You know, yeah,
especially when underground it's

1343
01:17:35,460 --> 01:17:39,870
not really publicly accessible.
It's it's underground. In fact,

1344
01:17:39,930 --> 01:17:42,660
it's at most Departments of
Justice. These are the true

1345
01:17:42,660 --> 01:17:46,260
people who I believe are the
ones that are better the actual

1346
01:17:46,350 --> 01:17:47,640
child molesters

1347
01:17:47,940 --> 01:17:51,870
will let so anyway, so this guy
finds that this list is a bunch

1348
01:17:51,870 --> 01:17:56,370
of like lists that look mostly
as as typical political, it's

1349
01:17:56,370 --> 01:17:58,980
like, you know, it's not a thing
of course, it's political. It's

1350
01:17:58,980 --> 01:18:02,010
all political banding, but
they're under the guise of child

1351
01:18:02,010 --> 01:18:04,740
porn. Yeah. So what do you think
happens to this guy?

1352
01:18:04,950 --> 01:18:08,310
He gets Oh, wait, wait, let me
let me guess either a he took

1353
01:18:08,310 --> 01:18:16,380
too much Tylenol. B, his plane
crashed. See, he was a robbery

1354
01:18:16,380 --> 01:18:18,600
where he was shot in the face
any of those?

1355
01:18:19,890 --> 01:18:23,370
Know he gets investigated for
being into child porn.

1356
01:18:23,999 --> 01:18:28,409
Of course. Oh my god, I forgot
that one. That's that's actually

1357
01:18:28,409 --> 01:18:33,629
the first thing that do You're
right. Jesus. Well, so let me

1358
01:18:33,629 --> 01:18:38,339
just say to the listeners, that
you have to understand that the

1359
01:18:38,339 --> 01:18:42,539
reason we have to fight this
type of idiocy is because once

1360
01:18:42,539 --> 01:18:46,319
the filters are installed, then
the only fight is what's on the

1361
01:18:46,319 --> 01:18:51,569
list. And that is, you know, you
they just ramrod that you know,

1362
01:18:51,569 --> 01:18:56,009
they ramrodded a third runway at
Heathrow yesterday in the

1363
01:18:56,009 --> 01:18:58,019
country went fucking berserk.

1364
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:02,640
How did they do it? I thought
that they didn't even

1365
01:19:02,700 --> 01:19:06,990
they didn't even have a debate.
They just it was just like it's

1366
01:19:06,990 --> 01:19:10,230
one guy got so pissed off he
picked up the holy sceptre or

1367
01:19:10,230 --> 01:19:15,000
whatever it is, there's the mace
I think it's called which lays

1368
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:17,250
on the table in the middle
between the you know, the

1369
01:19:17,250 --> 01:19:19,890
government and opposition
parties in the shadow party

1370
01:19:19,890 --> 01:19:24,000
whatever and that represents you
know, the the all the power of

1371
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:27,600
government that makes me that is
the power given by the people.

1372
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:31,500
The guy walks up, picks it up
and takes it back to his seat.

1373
01:19:32,340 --> 01:19:35,640
And then he got named, which
means they call out your name

1374
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:38,370
and your shame and he's been
banned for five days but he was

1375
01:19:38,370 --> 01:19:41,160
so he said we we were promised
the debate we didn't even get a

1376
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:42,240
frickin debate

1377
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:50,250
Well hang on what they're gonna
do with the extra runway anyway,

1378
01:19:50,250 --> 01:19:52,470
they're not gonna have enough
traffic there to need it.

1379
01:19:55,440 --> 01:20:02,070
I disagree. Okay, of course, he
It's about the hub traffic, it's

1380
01:20:02,070 --> 01:20:04,740
not about what they need now,
it's about what they'll need in

1381
01:20:04,740 --> 01:20:07,290
10 years from now, they don't
want to lose out to Frankfurt.

1382
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:11,310
And they Amsterdam is still a
player, but they also have their

1383
01:20:11,310 --> 01:20:14,940
problems. But Frankfurt and
Munich, they're becoming the big

1384
01:20:14,940 --> 01:20:17,340
hubs. And what you're going to
see is that when people need to

1385
01:20:17,340 --> 01:20:20,580
go somewhere that no longer will
stop in London, they're going to

1386
01:20:20,580 --> 01:20:25,260
stop in in Frankfurt. And there
is a huge economic risk in that.

1387
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:28,110
And that's just aviation. I
mean, that's just how it works.

1388
01:20:29,370 --> 01:20:32,850
Right now, if they all that have
to do is allow for more

1389
01:20:32,850 --> 01:20:40,800
movements at Heathrow and they
could reduce pollution is what

1390
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:43,920
I'll call it, because most
planes at busy times are

1391
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:48,000
circling for 15 to 20 minutes
above London, you know, if you

1392
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,970
just allow for more movements,
which is not you don't need

1393
01:20:50,970 --> 01:20:53,340
another runway for more
movements, you can have more

1394
01:20:53,340 --> 01:20:57,210
movements, you really can, you
can do more. But they won't even

1395
01:20:57,210 --> 01:21:00,690
allow that. So, and all the
greenies around it's a huge you

1396
01:21:00,690 --> 01:21:04,530
know, and then celebrities are
buying up pieces of land where

1397
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:10,830
the where the runway would be
that's a good idea. But

1398
01:21:11,669 --> 01:21:15,419
so what's the video welcome
Parrish never became a hub for

1399
01:21:15,449 --> 01:21:22,259
these all this traffic? I don't
ever mind strikes,

1400
01:21:22,350 --> 01:21:27,120
of course yet. Bingo. You got I
was gonna say French. But that

1401
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:28,140
makes as much sense.

1402
01:21:31,140 --> 01:21:33,180
Well, I guess that's it for this
week. Do we have anything that

1403
01:21:33,180 --> 01:21:34,500
we're that we missed? Do you
have any?

1404
01:21:35,340 --> 01:21:39,780
I think I got one, one or two
more things. It Press TV? How do

1405
01:21:39,780 --> 01:21:43,290
you regard them as a new source
that it's Iranian? I think it's

1406
01:21:43,500 --> 01:21:48,990
Press TV. I think it's a it's an
Iranian news organisation. Yeah.

1407
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:51,120
So you're not familiar with
them.

1408
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:54,600
I may have run into a once in a
while, but it's nothing I've

1409
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:57,810
follow. I don't see it as a
source for me.

1410
01:21:58,169 --> 01:22:00,659
Well, they've got pretty
extensive coverage of stuff. And

1411
01:22:00,689 --> 01:22:04,829
here's something that caught my
mind. Am I Sorry, man arrested

1412
01:22:04,829 --> 01:22:06,959
for Obama assassination plot?

1413
01:22:08,310 --> 01:22:10,320
We didn't get that news. Of
course not.

1414
01:22:10,980 --> 01:22:13,740
A man has been well, shall I
give you the details?

1415
01:22:13,890 --> 01:22:17,430
Yeah, send me the link while
you're at it. Well, okay, and

1416
01:22:17,430 --> 01:22:17,580
then I

1417
01:22:17,580 --> 01:22:18,300
won't read it.

1418
01:22:19,350 --> 01:22:21,540
So our lives No, no real selves.

1419
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:26,400
Go find your own damn, Link.
Hold on. No, I just I want to I

1420
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:28,380
want to send you the link. I'm
just trying to find my Skype

1421
01:22:28,380 --> 01:22:32,790
window where the hell is it?
Usually on the screen? No, no, I

1422
01:22:32,790 --> 01:22:35,820
removed the big chat window
because it's a pain in the ass.

1423
01:22:35,820 --> 01:22:39,840
Hold on. Where are you? Here we
go. send you that real quick.

1424
01:22:41,550 --> 01:22:44,640
Button. Boom. Okay. A man has
been arrested for threatening to

1425
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:48,510
assassinate the US President
Elect, saying Barack Obama

1426
01:22:48,510 --> 01:22:53,130
appointed Jews in key positions
in key posts. Secret Service

1427
01:22:53,130 --> 01:22:56,010
took 42 year old Stephen Joseph
Christopher into custody in

1428
01:22:56,010 --> 01:22:58,500
Brookhaven, Mississippi Friday
on charges of threatening to

1429
01:22:58,500 --> 01:23:03,510
kill Obama. I love what this guy
says. It's not because I'm

1430
01:23:03,510 --> 01:23:06,450
racist that I will kill Barack,
it's because I can no longer

1431
01:23:06,450 --> 01:23:09,540
allow the Jewish parasites to
bully their way into making the

1432
01:23:09,540 --> 01:23:13,560
American people submit to their
evil ways. But I'm not racist.

1433
01:23:18,480 --> 01:23:22,350
It's just nuts. Yeah, Obama is a
puppet of the Jews.

1434
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:30,300
He snapped. And he did
obviously. And Microsoft now

1435
01:23:30,300 --> 01:23:34,530
getting fined again by nearly
nearly cruce.

1436
01:23:35,700 --> 01:23:37,860
Oh, going after him again
netlist element

1437
01:23:37,890 --> 01:23:42,600
going after him again for $450
million. Because, hey, they got

1438
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:44,700
a pot of money, you might as
well still want to get some of

1439
01:23:44,700 --> 01:23:45,180
it, right.

1440
01:23:48,630 --> 01:23:52,110
It's basically the cost of doing
business in Europe. Now it comes

1441
01:23:52,110 --> 01:23:54,120
with a hefty fee.

1442
01:23:55,350 --> 01:23:59,850
And for the John and Adam
reading club. I have not read

1443
01:23:59,850 --> 01:24:03,600
this book. But I read a review
which I kept in Financial Times.

1444
01:24:03,630 --> 01:24:06,840
Maybe you've seen it, John,
Niall Ferguson, the great

1445
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:08,100
liquidity crisis?

1446
01:24:08,850 --> 01:24:11,520
No. So what caught my eye read
it though.

1447
01:24:11,550 --> 01:24:17,070
Yeah. Well, what he's saying is
that he wrote this book a while

1448
01:24:17,070 --> 01:24:21,180
ago, I think. But what's
happening now and he's talking

1449
01:24:21,180 --> 01:24:24,390
about a 94 year cycle. He's
saying everything that is

1450
01:24:24,390 --> 01:24:28,590
happening now is a copy of what
happened between the two World

1451
01:24:28,590 --> 01:24:34,590
Wars. And we're doing everything
exactly wrong once again. You

1452
01:24:34,590 --> 01:24:35,790
better get your book out, man.

1453
01:24:37,110 --> 01:24:43,260
Well, you know, I still have it.
Yeah. I still have the the kind

1454
01:24:43,260 --> 01:24:47,430
of I'm not I'm not alone in the
belief that there's going to be

1455
01:24:47,430 --> 01:24:48,660
a mini boom.

1456
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:54,720
There's the there's the train.
There's the 830 here. Yeah, the

1457
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:56,430
1030 just dropped the 1028

1458
01:24:57,060 --> 01:25:00,870
The guy is just constantly
talking As far as no reason for

1459
01:25:00,870 --> 01:25:02,010
him to be honking his horn,

1460
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:04,770
the Deaf notion of your own horn
right there.

1461
01:25:05,670 --> 01:25:09,060
Yeah, he's just basically
there's some there used to be a

1462
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:11,850
number of years ago used to some
idiot that did this about two in

1463
01:25:11,850 --> 01:25:14,250
the morning. And then I think
enough people complained because

1464
01:25:14,250 --> 01:25:20,070
there's actually houses down
along the tracks. And when

1465
01:25:20,070 --> 01:25:22,710
they're not right on the tracks,
but I mean, they're, they're so

1466
01:25:22,710 --> 01:25:25,560
close to this guy with honking
he must think is just hilarious.

1467
01:25:26,700 --> 01:25:32,700
Remember where he is, he never
showed up? Anyway, so everyone

1468
01:25:32,700 --> 01:25:38,160
else in the 30s were mad, maybe,
I mean, there's some me the

1469
01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:40,770
problem is everything if you
start looking at everything, and

1470
01:25:40,770 --> 01:25:44,310
I recommend people trying to get
an understanding of, of how

1471
01:25:44,310 --> 01:25:48,450
fractals work, and you you
either can read Mandelbrot

1472
01:25:48,450 --> 01:25:51,030
material or you could there was
a really good Nova on this, it

1473
01:25:51,030 --> 01:25:53,880
kind of gave us some perspective
I have read

1474
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:57,030
up on fractals, it is it is
really fascinating. And

1475
01:25:57,660 --> 01:26:00,060
especially when you look at
fractals that can trip you out.

1476
01:26:00,540 --> 01:26:03,090
Well, that trips you out anyway.
But if you start to see things

1477
01:26:03,090 --> 01:26:06,690
as self iterative in some funny
way, so everything is kind of

1478
01:26:06,690 --> 01:26:09,150
always going to be a certain
way. Everything that you're

1479
01:26:09,150 --> 01:26:12,870
going to get is going to repeat
in a in a fractal like pattern,

1480
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,840
which is can be pretty
complicated, by the way. I was

1481
01:26:16,470 --> 01:26:20,970
thinking about fractals. I just
was like it just like a visual

1482
01:26:20,970 --> 01:26:26,400
fractal image was. I'm at
Costco, and there's a young

1483
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:30,810
mother holding her young
daughter in her arms, and her

1484
01:26:30,810 --> 01:26:35,250
young daughter in her arm
holding a doll. Oh, gosh, yeah.

1485
01:26:35,730 --> 01:26:39,570
I'm looking at that going.
Fractal fractal. That's it.

1486
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:41,790
Fractal. Yeah, you're right.

1487
01:26:41,910 --> 01:26:45,690
What was missing was the baby
was the little doll, baby and

1488
01:26:45,930 --> 01:26:49,800
the baby doll doll. Yeah. So
what you're saying is that this

1489
01:26:49,830 --> 01:26:53,880
is well that really the universe
and life is a fractal. And that

1490
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:58,530
we're now in the 94th year
fractal of something of another

1491
01:26:58,530 --> 01:27:01,710
piece of fractal that came from
the French Revolution fractal,

1492
01:27:02,190 --> 01:27:03,060
right? Something

1493
01:27:03,060 --> 01:27:05,160
like that. I mean, so that's
like, you don't you know, so

1494
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:08,190
it's like, well, you know, none
of it should be surprising. And

1495
01:27:08,190 --> 01:27:10,230
when somebody comes up with the
observation that this is just

1496
01:27:10,230 --> 01:27:13,890
like such and such, well, yeah.
But if anything is going to

1497
01:27:13,890 --> 01:27:16,020
always be just like something.

1498
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:20,460
And if you really take that to
the extreme, and you reverse it,

1499
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:25,170
you got to smoke some weed and
it really works. So so so that

1500
01:27:25,170 --> 01:27:28,860
is a fractal of really the the
earth which is a fractal of the

1501
01:27:28,860 --> 01:27:32,490
universe, which is a fractal of
God, I guess, you know. So we're

1502
01:27:32,490 --> 01:27:35,220
all little pieces like a fern,
right? That that's what if you

1503
01:27:35,220 --> 01:27:38,490
look at a fern, you'll see that
the leaves of the fern are

1504
01:27:38,550 --> 01:27:44,400
exactly the same structure as
the fern itself,

1505
01:27:44,879 --> 01:27:47,129
right, and then go through the
boat snowflakes are one of the

1506
01:27:47,129 --> 01:27:49,619
better examples too. But you
know, actually they did this

1507
01:27:49,619 --> 01:27:52,859
Nova show had a very interesting
thing, guy decided that forests

1508
01:27:52,859 --> 01:27:56,609
are fractals. And he could
calculate the number of trees in

1509
01:27:56,609 --> 01:27:59,939
a forest and run it, which is
valuable and produce in

1510
01:27:59,969 --> 01:28:04,259
determining co2 consent, you
know, usage and in terms of the

1511
01:28:04,259 --> 01:28:08,939
carbon credit crap. And so he
decided that a dead a dead

1512
01:28:09,119 --> 01:28:11,729
forest was a fractal. And he
could determine the size and the

1513
01:28:11,729 --> 01:28:14,579
number of trees in the forest by
taking a fractal of the forest.

1514
01:28:14,579 --> 01:28:18,569
No, that was just a chunk, and
then then iterating it in a

1515
01:28:18,569 --> 01:28:22,709
fractal like way. And then they
would they would do this as a

1516
01:28:22,709 --> 01:28:27,269
test on certain areas. And then
actually go out and count the

1517
01:28:27,269 --> 01:28:31,499
real trees just as a way of
doing a sense, a sense a census

1518
01:28:31,499 --> 01:28:33,929
to see if this theory was
correct. Because who needs to be

1519
01:28:33,929 --> 01:28:36,569
counting trees, right? If you
want to just take a chunk

1520
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:39,900
millions of Obama jobs counting
trees.

1521
01:28:41,010 --> 01:28:44,040
And it turns out there was just
it was it turns out that forests

1522
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:45,300
are fractals and

1523
01:28:45,329 --> 01:28:49,199
$100 million for counting trees
could be

1524
01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:53,070
anyway, so that's it. So yeah,
so people should familiarise

1525
01:28:53,070 --> 01:28:56,760
themselves with this. With the
basic notion of fractures, you

1526
01:28:56,760 --> 01:28:59,580
start to see things that you can
you can see things a little

1527
01:28:59,580 --> 01:29:03,450
differently. I think it really
helps from a just a philosophy

1528
01:29:03,450 --> 01:29:04,770
philosophical perspective. I

1529
01:29:04,770 --> 01:29:07,620
think it should become a
catchphrase of sorts. John, I

1530
01:29:07,620 --> 01:29:10,290
think that we should be calling
fractals on all kinds of stuff.

1531
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:12,750
You know, I like what you said
when you're looking at the

1532
01:29:12,900 --> 01:29:16,200
mother with the daughter with
the baby with the doll and you

1533
01:29:16,230 --> 01:29:18,870
immediately feel fractal you
know, you should actually just

1534
01:29:18,870 --> 01:29:21,210
like Invasion of the Body
Snatchers you go up to the

1535
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:22,830
mother and go fractal

1536
01:29:26,730 --> 01:29:29,220
I'm telling you what I saw it it
was so cute.

1537
01:29:29,790 --> 01:29:32,820
It's like a cute babushka doll
dolls you know those Russian

1538
01:29:32,820 --> 01:29:36,300
dolls they're fractals a fractal
exact fractals are fractals are

1539
01:29:36,300 --> 01:29:37,200
your friend.

1540
01:29:38,370 --> 01:29:43,440
So anyway, interesting.
Eventually, Mandelbrot had some

1541
01:29:43,440 --> 01:29:45,480
very interesting things to say
including the fact that he was

1542
01:29:45,480 --> 01:29:48,090
laughed off the stage basically
when he came up with his

1543
01:29:48,090 --> 01:29:49,200
theories of fractals,

1544
01:29:49,650 --> 01:29:52,680
and what is the theory of
fractals and what really is very

1545
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:53,430
important. I

1546
01:29:53,430 --> 01:29:55,950
can't tell you exactly I can't
explain that there. I can kind

1547
01:29:55,950 --> 01:29:58,560
of I can kind of understand it
before I can explain it. Okay,

1548
01:29:58,590 --> 01:30:02,520
but it's essentially that
Everything is self iterative in

1549
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:07,560
a way that all nature and is
really refers mostly to nature

1550
01:30:07,740 --> 01:30:11,610
itself iterative in a way that
you can actually formulate a

1551
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:15,300
structure that is that is
mathematically accurate because

1552
01:30:15,300 --> 01:30:17,400
no one's ever been out there's
all of these things over time

1553
01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:20,520
that they said look, a
mountainside, you take a look at

1554
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:24,660
it crumbled down, say, you know,
you can't there's no math that

1555
01:30:24,660 --> 01:30:29,160
can explain what you're looking
at. Whereas mathematicians say

1556
01:30:29,160 --> 01:30:32,880
you can explain everything with
a mat with math. And fractal

1557
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:36,420
theory says no, that's not true.
You can explain that with math.

1558
01:30:36,420 --> 01:30:39,150
If you use fractal math if you
knew if you if you look at the

1559
01:30:39,150 --> 01:30:42,630
way fractals work, you can you
can explain you can actually

1560
01:30:42,630 --> 01:30:45,870
explain these natural phenomena
as things in nature like a

1561
01:30:45,870 --> 01:30:52,650
mountain. With this modelling
that this guy's developed, and

1562
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:56,460
what we think of as fractals in
the computer business there are

1563
01:30:56,460 --> 01:30:59,670
there's Mandelbrot sets, little
designs that he makes where he

1564
01:30:59,670 --> 01:31:02,190
has a he takes one of these
formulas puts it in, and it just

1565
01:31:02,190 --> 01:31:04,890
starts to iterate and makes this
really funky looking thing.

1566
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:11,070
A screensaver. You mean? Yes. A
screensaver. His whole theory is

1567
01:31:11,070 --> 01:31:13,500
based on a screensaver ladies
and gentlemen, I just want you

1568
01:31:13,500 --> 01:31:14,190
to know that.

1569
01:31:14,460 --> 01:31:17,640
And you know, essentially, and
they I mean, frankly, now that

1570
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:21,450
people are starting to think and
in terms of fractals, they, for

1571
01:31:21,450 --> 01:31:24,780
example, the reason if you don't
know this, that's you know, if

1572
01:31:24,780 --> 01:31:27,120
you look at a cell phone, a
mobile phone from a few years

1573
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:30,030
ago used to have an antenna,
some of them would come out, all

1574
01:31:30,030 --> 01:31:32,790
the antennas now are fractal
antennas. And they're inside the

1575
01:31:32,790 --> 01:31:36,570
phone because you don't need a
an antenna, when you have what

1576
01:31:36,570 --> 01:31:38,940
essentially is a fractal
antenna, which is a bunch of

1577
01:31:39,210 --> 01:31:40,350
things old is a wave,

1578
01:31:40,410 --> 01:31:45,330
which comes down to the energy
within the ether, which I'm sure

1579
01:31:45,330 --> 01:31:50,400
is is a fractal also has the
same fractal properties. And

1580
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:53,220
that's how maybe we're all
connected or how everything

1581
01:31:53,220 --> 01:31:56,520
starts to come together. As we
start to understand all that

1582
01:31:56,790 --> 01:31:57,360
wirelessly.

1583
01:31:57,780 --> 01:32:02,640
I'm gonna really be sad. And
when the New Age people get a

1584
01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:05,160
hold of this theory, and they
start to come up with their

1585
01:32:05,580 --> 01:32:07,980
crackpot analysis, well,

1586
01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:11,580
but hold on, but when
technologists get a hold of it

1587
01:32:11,580 --> 01:32:14,130
and start to really understand
it, it could be very exciting,

1588
01:32:14,130 --> 01:32:15,750
we can get some fantastic shit
out.

1589
01:32:15,810 --> 01:32:19,470
Well, that's how we got to
fractal antenna. Right? That's

1590
01:32:19,470 --> 01:32:19,890
exciting.

1591
01:32:19,890 --> 01:32:24,480
We improved text messaging, that
is a good job. That's that's a

1592
01:32:24,480 --> 01:32:26,880
wait a minute, that should be
another 800 billion on the

1593
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:28,890
bailout the stimulus package.

1594
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:34,110
But they've come up with a good
three sentence explanation of

1595
01:32:34,110 --> 01:32:36,180
fractals, I think it'd be
valuable. I'm sure there's one

1596
01:32:36,180 --> 01:32:40,560
out there. And I don't have it.
But

1597
01:32:40,950 --> 01:32:43,440
well, I think you should start
getting your material out. I

1598
01:32:43,440 --> 01:32:46,740
mean, you already announced on
Geek brief TV that you were

1599
01:32:46,770 --> 01:32:51,630
pretty much going to quit the
technology, reporting a

1600
01:32:51,630 --> 01:32:58,080
journalism business gig and move
on to finance. So you got to get

1601
01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:00,570
going, Man, I think you're gonna
be great. You know, you and

1602
01:33:00,570 --> 01:33:04,530
you've surrounded yourself with
the right people. Andrew

1603
01:33:04,530 --> 01:33:08,490
Horowitz myself included. And
you should get moving on it. You

1604
01:33:08,490 --> 01:33:08,970
got it. You got

1605
01:33:09,690 --> 01:33:12,900
it. Was it such a lazy bastard?
I'd be halfway there by now.

1606
01:33:12,900 --> 01:33:17,400
Actually, I'm the things almost
done. So let me just crank

1607
01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:18,630
something out shortly.

1608
01:33:19,050 --> 01:33:22,320
Don't do me a favour. All right,
here's

1609
01:33:22,530 --> 01:33:24,390
don't worry about that. You have
to worry about that.

1610
01:33:24,480 --> 01:33:28,680
No, I know. Dear. Thank you.
Love you too mean it. Okay,

1611
01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:32,280
here's a URL for you. I've seen
that I saw this about a year

1612
01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:36,090
ago. But it won't go away keeps
coming back. This is there's two

1613
01:33:36,090 --> 01:33:39,600
YouTube videos. And you have to
look at a John. This is a doctor

1614
01:33:40,350 --> 01:33:42,090
who originally was in

1615
01:33:43,590 --> 01:33:45,660
originally seen this a million
times?

1616
01:33:45,690 --> 01:33:49,350
Well, let me set it up. And then
you tell me why it's fake. He

1617
01:33:49,350 --> 01:33:51,990
was looking for a cure for
cancer. And what he what he

1618
01:33:52,020 --> 01:33:54,960
winds up doing is he found out
this is what he claims and what

1619
01:33:54,960 --> 01:34:01,140
he's showing in the videos, that
if you aim a frequency beam at

1620
01:34:01,140 --> 01:34:04,740
salt water at a certain
frequency, it ignites and you

1621
01:34:04,740 --> 01:34:09,270
can light and burn the salt
water. And I have to say the

1622
01:34:09,270 --> 01:34:10,530
videos are pretty convincing.

1623
01:34:11,100 --> 01:34:14,100
Sure. Well, the only thing
missing is Penn Jillette.

1624
01:34:15,540 --> 01:34:17,130
Well, why do you think it's not
true?

1625
01:34:19,170 --> 01:34:24,120
Well, I mean, it's possible that
if you set a put a pulse of

1626
01:34:24,150 --> 01:34:27,660
energy into anything that is
like let's say, you know,

1627
01:34:27,660 --> 01:34:31,680
whatever amount of massive
amount of energy, you can get a

1628
01:34:31,680 --> 01:34:35,700
percentage of it to reflect back
to you in some way, which is

1629
01:34:35,700 --> 01:34:38,820
less than the energy you
expended to begin with, which

1630
01:34:38,820 --> 01:34:42,930
means it's a useless exercise,
which I suspect might be going

1631
01:34:42,930 --> 01:34:43,710
on here. Okay, so

1632
01:34:43,710 --> 01:34:46,110
what you're saying is there's so
much energy that has to go into

1633
01:34:46,110 --> 01:34:48,780
creating the frequency that you
don't get the enough energy

1634
01:34:48,780 --> 01:34:53,730
back. Yeah. Saltwater burns.com

1635
01:34:54,480 --> 01:34:58,380
is assuming that this is not a
complete scam, which is what I

1636
01:34:58,380 --> 01:35:03,360
suspect actually Hey soul water
burns.com This is where you you

1637
01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:04,380
lose your,

1638
01:35:05,010 --> 01:35:09,240
um, look, I didn't say oh boy,
I'm buying shares I just said

1639
01:35:09,240 --> 01:35:12,840
hey man, I know I'm Brett look
John I got other things to do as

1640
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:15,450
well. You know I could go sit
with my wife and watch East

1641
01:35:15,450 --> 01:35:19,440
Enders you know we can watch the
repeat brother.

1642
01:35:20,970 --> 01:35:26,130
Which reminds me Are you going
to set up that sling box? Yeah

1643
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:28,620
dedicated line anytime soon with
a with a with a channel

1644
01:35:28,620 --> 01:35:29,160
controller?

1645
01:35:29,190 --> 01:35:32,550
Yes. All I'm waiting for is
virgin to deliver. They still

1646
01:35:32,550 --> 01:35:36,390
haven't Yeah, that's typical
virgin. You know the airline. I

1647
01:35:36,390 --> 01:35:39,690
love the airline. But when it
comes to the cell phone service,

1648
01:35:39,690 --> 01:35:44,100
they're fucking donkey dicks.
And it just customers it is not

1649
01:35:44,100 --> 01:35:46,770
the Virgin customer service
because it's purchased

1650
01:35:46,770 --> 01:35:50,130
companies. They bought NTL the
cable company which everyone

1651
01:35:50,130 --> 01:35:54,870
knows is NT hell. They slapped
virgin on it. I must say they

1652
01:35:54,870 --> 01:35:58,590
did. You know there are two
commercial campaigns running

1653
01:35:58,590 --> 01:36:01,740
here. One is for Virgin where
they have poster girl from

1654
01:36:01,740 --> 01:36:05,910
Thelma and Louise and Kill Bill
Emma. Come on the the tall

1655
01:36:05,910 --> 01:36:14,790
blonde beautiful. Yeah. Guy
what's her? Uma Thurman uma so

1656
01:36:14,790 --> 01:36:20,400
she she's doing a commercials
for Virgin, Samuel Jackson and

1657
01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:23,130
really stylized great
commercials. But the one that

1658
01:36:23,130 --> 01:36:28,020
blew me away is for the
insurance company Aviva. And

1659
01:36:28,020 --> 01:36:30,270
it's a new name, I forget what
you know, they're like first

1660
01:36:30,270 --> 01:36:33,570
National Insurance blahdy blah,
whatever their name is. But

1661
01:36:33,570 --> 01:36:37,860
you're watching television and
all of a sudden you see Bruce

1662
01:36:37,860 --> 01:36:43,860
Willis in an action scene and
and he's and he said, Well, you

1663
01:36:43,860 --> 01:36:47,430
know, what would any guy name
whatever his real name was? No,

1664
01:36:47,430 --> 01:36:50,640
Bruce Willis Thorpe or whatever.
Would you think he could become

1665
01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:55,950
an action star and then you see
Alice Cooper and he says,

1666
01:36:56,190 --> 01:36:59,310
Vincent Fern yay. You know,
that's not really a rock Gods

1667
01:36:59,310 --> 01:37:04,380
name. And then Ringo Starr, you
know, would anyone you know

1668
01:37:04,380 --> 01:37:08,100
think that Ron Starkey whatever
his real name was? You know that

1669
01:37:08,100 --> 01:37:11,310
he could be a huge pop star and
it's like, like eight

1670
01:37:11,310 --> 01:37:14,160
celebrities and you're watching
this you like you think is like

1671
01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:17,520
a promo for the Oscars or
something. And it's like,

1672
01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:21,270
sometimes a name change is
important. First National

1673
01:37:21,270 --> 01:37:24,690
Insurance bullshit is now Aviva.
And it's just mind boggling.

1674
01:37:24,690 --> 01:37:29,220
This must have cost millions to
put this together. Ah, really

1675
01:37:29,220 --> 01:37:31,440
one of the better commercial
campaigns I've seen in a long

1676
01:37:31,440 --> 01:37:37,470
time. So long story short, yeah,
I'm gonna get that for you. Once

1677
01:37:37,470 --> 01:37:42,120
the silly version shows up and
instals instals The connection

1678
01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:46,560
and then I got the box down
here. And I already have the

1679
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:48,930
sling box and then you're gonna
be good to go, man, because I'll

1680
01:37:48,930 --> 01:37:51,600
have a I'm trying to get the 50
megabit line.

1681
01:37:53,790 --> 01:37:55,080
That'd be nice. Yeah, they're
not

1682
01:37:55,080 --> 01:37:57,450
sure if they can get me that
because of where we are. But

1683
01:37:57,450 --> 01:38:01,050
there's the 20 megabit for sure.
Which is not bad.

1684
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:06,540
Well, so we have a Slingbox in
Detroit. We've got one in

1685
01:38:06,540 --> 01:38:07,290
Hawaii.

1686
01:38:08,430 --> 01:38:11,670
I haven't been on Hawaii yet. I
usually use Detroit and

1687
01:38:12,030 --> 01:38:14,670
Hawaii. Is it pretty funny you
can get to on the new show. They

1688
01:38:14,700 --> 01:38:17,310
I was watching some new show and
one of the stations in Hawaii

1689
01:38:17,310 --> 01:38:19,680
and they have a sportscaster or
weatherman. I can't remember

1690
01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:23,910
which now, who is the size of a
house this guy is he's like a

1691
01:38:23,910 --> 01:38:27,900
Samoan. He is so big. And he
sits on this on the set. And

1692
01:38:27,900 --> 01:38:30,450
he's like this SEC takes over
the whole set.

1693
01:38:30,480 --> 01:38:32,880
He didn't get the Al Roker memo
yet the thing.

1694
01:38:33,390 --> 01:38:36,660
Huge, huge. I mean, this guy's
unbelievable. It's just the

1695
01:38:36,660 --> 01:38:38,910
weirdest thing. We only expect
to see something like that in

1696
01:38:38,910 --> 01:38:42,930
Hawaii. But we need somebody
with a sling box in Hong Kong,

1697
01:38:43,470 --> 01:38:44,190
or

1698
01:38:44,579 --> 01:38:48,149
China. And also it really does
help. It's you know, it's really

1699
01:38:48,179 --> 01:38:52,829
appreciated. Because and, you
know, we get we get more

1700
01:38:52,829 --> 01:38:56,069
information. We learn more about
what's going on and what's

1701
01:38:56,069 --> 01:38:59,159
perceived as important in local
markets. I mean, it's Wow, what

1702
01:38:59,159 --> 01:39:02,759
a difference with the National
bullshit that's being spewed.

1703
01:39:03,659 --> 01:39:06,689
Somebody would be it would be
good to have Costa Rica, I think

1704
01:39:06,689 --> 01:39:08,039
it'd be cool. And

1705
01:39:08,430 --> 01:39:11,310
Russia, I'll take a Russian
slang box, I'll take an Iranian

1706
01:39:11,310 --> 01:39:13,320
slang box. I'll take a Polish
sling

1707
01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:16,890
sling Polish sling box. And the
problem is getting stuff in

1708
01:39:16,890 --> 01:39:20,910
English from some of these. But
yeah,

1709
01:39:20,940 --> 01:39:23,580
but it doesn't even matter. I
mean, it doesn't really even

1710
01:39:23,580 --> 01:39:26,160
matter. Just just to be able to
tune in and kind of, you know,

1711
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:29,220
primetime news time and just you
can see what the stories are. I

1712
01:39:29,220 --> 01:39:32,790
mean, that kind of works. So
anyway,

1713
01:39:33,810 --> 01:39:36,810
so the guys that that started
this linkbucks company, you

1714
01:39:36,810 --> 01:39:40,860
know, they sold a whole company
to DISH Network, right? And they

1715
01:39:40,860 --> 01:39:43,380
I just say we had their one year
they had to stick around. So now

1716
01:39:43,380 --> 01:39:45,570
all those founders are gone. So
they're gonna come up probably

1717
01:39:45,570 --> 01:39:46,950
with something else somewhere.

1718
01:39:47,430 --> 01:39:49,950
Some new idea and you think, no,
no, no, I

1719
01:39:49,950 --> 01:39:53,070
thought that idea was pretty
creative. When it first started.

1720
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:56,040
I don't know is that a good
idea, but it turned out to be

1721
01:39:56,040 --> 01:39:57,030
very workable. Well, I

1722
01:39:57,030 --> 01:40:00,270
think what they should do is
they should do more have that

1723
01:40:00,270 --> 01:40:03,210
community aspect, although I'm
sure there's all kinds of legal

1724
01:40:03,210 --> 01:40:06,630
ramifications that make it
difficult, but, you know, this

1725
01:40:06,630 --> 01:40:09,540
little community that which is
perfect because you and I

1726
01:40:09,540 --> 01:40:14,850
benefit no one else does. Is is
beautiful man, you know. And now

1727
01:40:15,300 --> 01:40:21,930
the what's the guy from Detroit?
I forgot his name. We have it is

1728
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,070
Detroit or Chicago?

1729
01:40:23,580 --> 01:40:25,320
No, it's Detroit across from
Canada.

1730
01:40:25,350 --> 01:40:27,960
So you know, I actually I sent
him an email I said, thank you

1731
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,360
again, man, I just want you to
know how much I'm enjoying this.

1732
01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:34,500
He said, Yeah, no, no problem.
Although, you know, my brother

1733
01:40:34,500 --> 01:40:36,870
and my brother in law and my
sister or whatever, you know,

1734
01:40:36,870 --> 01:40:38,880
they're moving. And so now
they're going to be using it,

1735
01:40:38,880 --> 01:40:41,160
you have to fight for access.
And it's true. And I was like,

1736
01:40:41,190 --> 01:40:44,280
crap, someone's already on it. I
can't watch it.

1737
01:40:45,510 --> 01:40:47,850
Yeah, well, that, you know,
typically, people get tired of

1738
01:40:47,850 --> 01:40:50,550
that. I mean, I only look at it
once in a while. I mean, when I

1739
01:40:50,550 --> 01:40:52,980
want to just look at some
Canadian stuff. And but I'm

1740
01:40:52,980 --> 01:40:56,580
gonna have one probably set up
in Port Angeles, where we get

1741
01:40:56,880 --> 01:40:59,430
two or three Canadian stations
up there plus Seattle,

1742
01:40:59,460 --> 01:41:02,280
right? And you're gonna give me
access to that, right? Yeah,

1743
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:04,050
there'll be off of a fibre optic

1744
01:41:04,050 --> 01:41:05,400
line. So it'll be like great

1745
01:41:05,430 --> 01:41:08,190
hot shit, you could set up well,
this should be able to create

1746
01:41:08,190 --> 01:41:13,110
more accounts, depending on your
bandwidth. I guess that's where

1747
01:41:13,110 --> 01:41:15,930
the whole legality comes in. You
can share it and you can't share

1748
01:41:15,930 --> 01:41:17,250
it. You can only use it, you
know, that would be

1749
01:41:17,250 --> 01:41:18,900
broadcasting, I guess,
technically.

1750
01:41:19,140 --> 01:41:22,530
Yeah. It's against the they
don't like promoting the idea

1751
01:41:22,530 --> 01:41:26,820
because there's some some amiss.
I mean, I think it was funny

1752
01:41:26,820 --> 01:41:29,370
that the Dish Network bought
them in the first place, because

1753
01:41:29,370 --> 01:41:31,140
what they managed to because you
know, here's the problem. I've

1754
01:41:31,140 --> 01:41:33,360
always said, it's irksome to
anybody out there who gets a

1755
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:38,250
satellite. Why can I buy the
local stations off of the Dish

1756
01:41:38,250 --> 01:41:42,930
Network, from the Bay Area,
where I'm where I am, or from

1757
01:41:42,930 --> 01:41:47,100
Seattle where I am, but if I
wanted to buy the Seattle

1758
01:41:47,100 --> 01:41:50,820
stations from down here in the
Bay Area, I can't do it. And if

1759
01:41:50,820 --> 01:41:53,490
I were if I wanted to, like buy
New York, what if I just wanted

1760
01:41:53,490 --> 01:41:56,100
to New York, a local station, so
I can watch the New York TV

1761
01:41:56,100 --> 01:41:59,340
because I go to New York a lot,
right? I can't do it. And why

1762
01:41:59,340 --> 01:42:01,320
and you can talk to him, but we
can't do because it's against

1763
01:42:01,320 --> 01:42:07,890
the law. Yeah. Why is it against
the law? So they come up with I

1764
01:42:07,890 --> 01:42:10,620
mean, it makes no sense. And so
why so they came up with this.

1765
01:42:10,710 --> 01:42:13,020
So they bought the sling box,
which is kind of a way of

1766
01:42:13,020 --> 01:42:16,440
circumventing the law. But it's
this is idiotic, that it's

1767
01:42:16,440 --> 01:42:19,680
against the law. I mean, why is
it against the law? For me to

1768
01:42:19,680 --> 01:42:22,230
sit here in the San Francisco
Bay Area and watch New York

1769
01:42:22,230 --> 01:42:27,630
television, if I want to? Well,

1770
01:42:28,590 --> 01:42:30,240
I think you should put that to
the president

1771
01:42:30,270 --> 01:42:32,040
elect. Yeah, well, he

1772
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:32,940
probably make it worse.

1773
01:42:34,230 --> 01:42:38,070
He has reserved $650 million for
the digital switchover for

1774
01:42:38,070 --> 01:42:38,820
coupons.

1775
01:42:39,870 --> 01:42:42,510
Yeah, I got my coupons. By the
way, of course, I got

1776
01:42:42,630 --> 01:42:48,840
Isn't that for people who have
no money? I'm sorry. Yes. That's

1777
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:51,960
you aged people with no money.
There you go. So you got your

1778
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:53,160
coupon? Lovely.

1779
01:42:53,190 --> 01:42:55,890
I got my two coupons. And I'll
tell you the thing about him is

1780
01:42:55,890 --> 01:42:58,920
you search again and go Oh, my
God, why are they wasting this

1781
01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:02,220
much money on these things? You
get to things that they look

1782
01:43:02,220 --> 01:43:05,490
like the most advanced high tech
credit card you've ever seen.

1783
01:43:05,490 --> 01:43:09,900
It's a credit. Yeah, it's a
card, a hard credit card with an

1784
01:43:09,900 --> 01:43:14,640
embossed number. And it's got a
big hologram on it. Oh, this

1785
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:18,180
thinks oh, this thing scan that
puppy for me, man, what the fuck

1786
01:43:18,180 --> 01:43:20,220
is that? So they've got your
name, and you know, you've got a

1787
01:43:20,220 --> 01:43:21,240
credit or your name

1788
01:43:21,540 --> 01:43:24,210
on it. So but your name probably
is associated with the number.

1789
01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:26,670
Yeah, you were saying, here's
what's weird about if you want

1790
01:43:26,670 --> 01:43:29,700
to get one of these boxes, that
gives you the selection at the

1791
01:43:29,700 --> 01:43:32,850
best buy. And all those local
stores sucks. Because if you do

1792
01:43:32,850 --> 01:43:35,760
any research, you find you want
the Channel Master does one or

1793
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:36,720
two, you get

1794
01:43:36,720 --> 01:43:40,020
the basic, the basic unit, you
don't get anything good.

1795
01:43:40,470 --> 01:43:43,890
You can get a good one if you go
online. And if you go online,

1796
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:46,920
they ask you for the card
number. So what do I need all

1797
01:43:46,920 --> 01:43:50,160
the security on the card for if
I'm just typing it into a box,

1798
01:43:50,250 --> 01:43:53,940
ordering it online, and you get
the hologram. They could have

1799
01:43:53,940 --> 01:43:57,000
given us a barcode and again a
number and that would have been

1800
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:00,480
fine. It would have saved a
couple of bucks per person. I

1801
01:44:00,480 --> 01:44:02,520
mean, these are the most
expensive cars I've ever seen.

1802
01:44:02,520 --> 01:44:03,660
They're gorgeous, by the way.

1803
01:44:04,320 --> 01:44:07,950
Who makes them I'm sure that
who's doing that. So oh man.

1804
01:44:07,950 --> 01:44:11,910
What a scam. So someone's made
these cars as a back end system.

1805
01:44:11,940 --> 01:44:14,820
Who is the back end system? It's
on the card. Do you have the

1806
01:44:14,820 --> 01:44:15,330
card though? I

1807
01:44:15,330 --> 01:44:17,910
don't have it now. They're
downstairs like they're around

1808
01:44:17,910 --> 01:44:22,650
somewhere. Yeah, but you should
take a look at this if I could

1809
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:25,080
figure it out. But I mean, I
showed it on the cranky geek

1810
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:27,750
show and I've just been I took
it to the office I show people

1811
01:44:27,750 --> 01:44:31,620
these cards nobody of course
orders but me. Because you know

1812
01:44:31,620 --> 01:44:34,080
that I think it's just you guys
basically getting some free

1813
01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:36,330
electronic gear that might come
in handy if you have an old

1814
01:44:36,330 --> 01:44:37,290
monitor. Can you put

1815
01:44:37,290 --> 01:44:39,750
me on cranky geeks? The 28th

1816
01:44:41,400 --> 01:44:44,490
Probably yeah, I'd like to do
the show if you're assure us

1817
01:44:44,490 --> 01:44:45,690
that you will actually show up.

1818
01:44:46,230 --> 01:44:49,350
Oh please if you assure me that
there's actual audio on the

1819
01:44:49,350 --> 01:44:50,850
fucking show. I'll show up.

1820
01:44:53,310 --> 01:44:54,990
So anyway, so I can't

1821
01:44:55,289 --> 01:44:59,459
just gloss over that one you
guys lie. Audio just lost the

1822
01:44:59,459 --> 01:45:03,539
odd who did Did that how did you
lose the audio? Could is this

1823
01:45:03,539 --> 01:45:05,339
because video production?

1824
01:45:06,660 --> 01:45:08,550
I you know, it's a sore point
with me so don't

1825
01:45:08,580 --> 01:45:12,120
just answer the question Is it
is it because of me vo because

1826
01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:16,770
somebody screwed up at me vo
master B media we're producing

1827
01:45:16,770 --> 01:45:20,430
it. Yes. Do we know the person
who screwed up? Yeah.

1828
01:45:20,640 --> 01:45:24,600
Is he is he fired? No. Can he
has he

1829
01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:26,640
been flogged? Can we humiliate
him publicly? I

1830
01:45:26,640 --> 01:45:29,070
think he should be flogged but
we will get to that later.

1831
01:45:29,340 --> 01:45:30,210
Anyway so

1832
01:45:30,510 --> 01:45:34,050
this is what people they're so
antsy now they want to know just

1833
01:45:34,050 --> 01:45:36,150
tell me what I don't think you
know who did it and right now in

1834
01:45:36,150 --> 01:45:37,800
the air who what happened

1835
01:45:39,150 --> 01:45:41,160
I don't know what happened
apparently it's flipped the

1836
01:45:41,160 --> 01:45:44,670
wrong switch because the weird
thing about it was during the we

1837
01:45:44,670 --> 01:45:46,950
were streaming the thing and
they were the sound was going

1838
01:45:46,950 --> 01:45:50,400
out but for some reason it
wasn't being recorded. The video

1839
01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:52,410
is being recorded the sound
wasn't I have no idea how you

1840
01:45:52,410 --> 01:45:53,520
can even do that.

1841
01:45:54,090 --> 01:45:57,420
Cheese Cheese Louise Did you
freak out?

1842
01:45:58,890 --> 01:46:01,230
I've just felt annoyed because
it was actually pretty good

1843
01:46:01,230 --> 01:46:07,800
show. So you know now the show
come along. So yeah, you can be

1844
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:11,850
on the 28th so So anyway, I'm
dragging these cars around

1845
01:46:11,850 --> 01:46:15,150
because nobody you know has
ordered these cars and so now

1846
01:46:15,150 --> 01:46:17,340
everybody of course got went
online to try to get one I think

1847
01:46:17,340 --> 01:46:21,330
just don't ever get to be able
to get one by the end of the day

1848
01:46:21,330 --> 01:46:23,280
they have an expiration date on
them too. Which makes it even

1849
01:46:23,280 --> 01:46:28,110
more dumb. So they sent out
these expensive cards with the

1850
01:46:28,110 --> 01:46:31,500
hologram and all the security
crap like you need it so they

1851
01:46:31,500 --> 01:46:31,860
also had

1852
01:46:31,860 --> 01:46:35,040
to put terminals that all these
outlets that have card readers

1853
01:46:35,879 --> 01:46:38,309
now they do that no but then
nobody does all you did they do

1854
01:46:38,369 --> 01:46:42,179
this as a they just type in that
number that's the joke of it. Oh

1855
01:46:42,179 --> 01:46:47,969
my god. Anyway, I just thought
it was a complete waste of

1856
01:46:47,969 --> 01:46:51,239
government money this is the
taxpayers should be up in arms

1857
01:46:51,239 --> 01:46:56,249
about this. Now they are cool
look and Eric collected the cool

1858
01:46:56,249 --> 01:46:59,249
look and you gotta take them in
a frame. I'm gonna take the

1859
01:46:59,249 --> 01:47:01,589
whole letter I'm gonna frame it
and put it up as like as like an

1860
01:47:01,589 --> 01:47:03,209
example of government waste.

1861
01:47:04,110 --> 01:47:06,330
Alright, I'll do one more. We
gotta go man. I do one more

1862
01:47:06,330 --> 01:47:11,070
story for you. This is from a
New York Magazine. An interview

1863
01:47:11,070 --> 01:47:21,900
with Jean Lang, who's a manager
at the at a hedge fund. And he

1864
01:47:23,760 --> 01:47:26,610
he says I'm here's how he's
hedging on the economy.

1865
01:47:28,140 --> 01:47:31,560
Preparations in Lange's case
include a store room in his

1866
01:47:31,560 --> 01:47:34,860
basement in New Jersey stacked
high with enough food, water,

1867
01:47:34,860 --> 01:47:38,760
diapers and other necessities to
last his family six months. A

1868
01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:43,980
biometric safe to hold his guns
and a 1985 ex military Chevy K

1869
01:47:43,980 --> 01:47:47,100
five blade blazer that runs on
diesel and is currently being

1870
01:47:47,100 --> 01:47:50,730
retrofitted for off road travel.
He has also entertained the idea

1871
01:47:50,730 --> 01:47:53,400
of putting an inflatable
speedboat in a storage unit on

1872
01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:56,340
the west side so he could get
off the island quickly, and is

1873
01:47:56,340 --> 01:47:59,310
currently considering purchasing
a remote farm where he could

1874
01:47:59,310 --> 01:48:02,640
where he could hunker down. If
there's a financial system break

1875
01:48:02,640 --> 01:48:05,250
down, it could take a year to
reset the system. And in that

1876
01:48:05,250 --> 01:48:09,210
time, what's going to happen as
Lang if New York turns into a

1877
01:48:09,210 --> 01:48:12,000
scene out of I Am Legend. I want
to be ready.

1878
01:48:14,850 --> 01:48:17,550
Yeah, these are the guys that
are making our decisions in the

1879
01:48:17,580 --> 01:48:18,690
hedge fund level.

1880
01:48:18,750 --> 01:48:24,720
Isn't that amazing? What a nut
ball? Well, apparently there was

1881
01:48:24,720 --> 01:48:26,700
a lot of discussion about that
about

1882
01:48:28,530 --> 01:48:32,970
certainly investing in guns and
high high speed inflatable boats

1883
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:36,240
at the end of 2008. And not just
him, but like hedge fund

1884
01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:38,790
management. I mean, they're all
probably made of the same word.

1885
01:48:38,790 --> 01:48:41,910
Right? These guys? I just
thought that was

1886
01:48:42,300 --> 01:48:43,200
they're all nuts.

1887
01:48:45,930 --> 01:48:49,230
Yes, indeed. All right. All
right. That's

1888
01:48:49,230 --> 01:48:52,980
it. Yeah, I think we go like
we're done no notes for next

1889
01:48:52,980 --> 01:48:53,370
week.

1890
01:48:53,700 --> 01:48:55,950
Now, man, we covered everything.
And you know what, I think

1891
01:48:55,950 --> 01:48:58,230
everything went much better
because I didn't open up the

1892
01:48:58,230 --> 01:49:04,410
chat room and then the phone
bridge and all that shit. Just

1893
01:49:04,410 --> 01:49:05,310
just the stream

1894
01:49:07,260 --> 01:49:08,220
with a lot of people

1895
01:49:14,610 --> 01:49:16,260
Well, John, that was fun. Thank
you very much.

1896
01:49:18,600 --> 01:49:19,470
You're quite welcome.

1897
01:49:21,060 --> 01:49:23,910
You do it as a public service. I
know but it's still appreciated

1898
01:49:23,910 --> 01:49:24,870
on a personal level.

1899
01:49:27,660 --> 01:49:30,180
We haven't we'll have a new T
shirt design next week.

1900
01:49:30,480 --> 01:49:33,000
Can it be something with
throwing the yo I'm gonna get

1901
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:38,250
the I'm going to do the Obama
con thing with our pictures. And

1902
01:49:38,250 --> 01:49:41,100
listeners feel free to work on
that as well. Because I'm not

1903
01:49:41,100 --> 01:49:46,680
too good with the Photoshops
would not be great for a T

1904
01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:51,150
shirt. I have the two of us
Obama cones on the front. Good
