1 00:00:01,620 --> 00:00:05,220 gone for a week, but hopefully not forgotten. Once again, 2 00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:07,950 welcome to the programme that comes to you from two different 3 00:00:07,950 --> 00:00:11,970 sides of the globe. It is no agenda here in the curry manor 4 00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:14,970 in the lovely and affluent suburb of Surrey known as 5 00:00:14,970 --> 00:00:16,230 Guilford. I'm Adam curry, 6 00:00:16,890 --> 00:00:20,160 and I'm up here in northern California. I'm John C. Dvorak. 7 00:00:20,250 --> 00:00:22,560 John, it's good to talk to you again, my friend. 8 00:00:23,370 --> 00:00:25,200 Yeah, you were on vacation. Yeah. And 9 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,950 I apologise I, I forgot to tell you that I was going on vacay. 10 00:00:28,950 --> 00:00:31,350 Well, I think I did tell you, but I forgot to tell you that I 11 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,150 wasn't planning on doing a show. 12 00:00:34,830 --> 00:00:37,800 Yeah, you were wasted in the south of France, I understand 13 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:38,040 was 14 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,640 not wasted. Nothing of the kind. It was fantastic, though. I've 15 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,070 never been on vacation to the south of France. And I have to 16 00:00:44,070 --> 00:00:46,830 say, I think I have my new holiday destination all all 17 00:00:46,830 --> 00:00:47,370 figured out. 18 00:00:47,970 --> 00:00:51,240 Everybody says that, that and Portugal is the other one they 19 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:51,840 like to go to. 20 00:00:52,110 --> 00:00:55,380 I've been to Portugal a number of times. And I think it does 21 00:00:55,380 --> 00:00:58,470 not compare. I really, really liked the south of France. 22 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,030 And even say France. So 23 00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:05,970 I know it's horrible. 24 00:01:06,930 --> 00:01:09,930 All I went to France, I went to the south of France, 25 00:01:09,930 --> 00:01:10,530 no less. 26 00:01:11,430 --> 00:01:14,880 So but you went you know, a lot of people go, I mean, I would 27 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,470 recommend the south of France to anybody. But I will you went to 28 00:01:19,470 --> 00:01:22,110 the high rent district. I mean, when I go there, it would be I'd 29 00:01:22,110 --> 00:01:25,200 be floating around. I actually probably would even which isn't 30 00:01:25,860 --> 00:01:30,270 technically the south of France, go to Provence. Or then if I was 31 00:01:30,270 --> 00:01:32,490 going to be in the south of France, I think nice is probably 32 00:01:32,490 --> 00:01:38,640 more along my or even Monte Carlo. Yeah, is more. Which 33 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,330 sounds ritzy, but it's not as fancy as where you went, which 34 00:01:42,330 --> 00:01:43,350 is Santro pay. 35 00:01:43,409 --> 00:01:47,069 Well, actually, we we stayed at a friend's house in San Rafael, 36 00:01:47,069 --> 00:01:52,409 which is between Khan and Santro pay. And so it's a small a small 37 00:01:52,409 --> 00:01:55,469 village, but we did day trips who went to? We're going to con 38 00:01:55,469 --> 00:02:00,479 and then we did go to Santa Fe twice with the big power boat 39 00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:04,739 the way you're supposed to do right. You roll up there and now 40 00:02:04,739 --> 00:02:08,489 it's fantastic. You park in front of Nikki Beach. Have you 41 00:02:08,489 --> 00:02:09,509 heard of Nikki Beach? 42 00:02:09,690 --> 00:02:13,020 Yeah, it's one of those places where the Russian mob hangs out 43 00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:13,800 exactly. 44 00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:17,760 The Russian mob and all of their cheap cars is fantastic. And 45 00:02:18,030 --> 00:02:23,010 actually we had dinner at lunch at clubs site called stank which 46 00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:25,920 is pretty famous restaurant on the beach right near right 47 00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:31,020 nearby and relations. And actually, Gordon Ramsay was 48 00:02:31,020 --> 00:02:34,110 there when we were having lunch he was so everyone was on high 49 00:02:34,110 --> 00:02:36,630 alert and looking spiffy and doing their best. 50 00:02:38,130 --> 00:02:41,070 Oh, really? What was he doing there? Did you ask did you go up 51 00:02:41,070 --> 00:02:42,870 to him and say hello, I'm Adam curry. I 52 00:02:42,870 --> 00:02:44,580 think you're surely heard of me. 53 00:02:45,269 --> 00:02:48,569 You must have heard of me? I've heard of you. 54 00:02:49,229 --> 00:02:53,159 No, I did not. He was just having lunch 55 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:54,750 by himself. 56 00:02:55,260 --> 00:02:57,900 Though he had a couple of friends there. It was. It was it 57 00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:01,140 was like totally overcrowded. I mean, this place is there's a 58 00:03:01,260 --> 00:03:06,090 line outside the what you could call a door I guess. That must 59 00:03:06,090 --> 00:03:09,660 be 50 people who have no reservation and subsequently no 60 00:03:09,660 --> 00:03:13,080 chance whatsoever of actually getting down and and having a 61 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:13,530 meal. 62 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:15,659 So I was the food 63 00:03:16,020 --> 00:03:20,070 was very good at what they do is they have these each table gets 64 00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:20,880 like this big. 65 00:03:22,740 --> 00:03:24,870 Now this is let's go back this is sank on sand because that's 66 00:03:24,870 --> 00:03:25,590 the name of the place. Yeah, 67 00:03:25,590 --> 00:03:30,630 so 55 club 55 sank. Very famous restaurant. And when you sit 68 00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:33,000 down and it's an it's a dump, right? It's like a beach hut 69 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,200 with with tarps strung over the top of it. And there's nothing 70 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,260 special at all. Except for the fact that all the beautiful 71 00:03:40,260 --> 00:03:46,800 people are there. And each table gets this huge like, like a like 72 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,460 a side of a tree, you know, with bark and all and it's probably 73 00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:54,300 I'd say about five inches high. And on that you know hollowed 74 00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:59,160 out tree, slice or slab if you will, they put huge amounts of 75 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,260 raw vegetables like 76 00:04:02,430 --> 00:04:05,100 you're not getting the description Correct. Is it like 77 00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:08,820 a stump? Is it round? Or is it long and it's cut down the 78 00:04:08,820 --> 00:04:10,350 middle houses? What's the shape? Like 79 00:04:10,380 --> 00:04:13,830 imagine if you took a tree and you sliced off a piece of the 80 00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:16,620 bark, say about three, you know two or three feet long and two 81 00:04:16,620 --> 00:04:21,330 feet long as a piece of bark, except really a deep slice. So 82 00:04:21,330 --> 00:04:25,680 maybe a couple inches thick so like a canoe. Okay, right. And 83 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,130 then so so you have the bark on one side, which has been 84 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,710 modified a bit so that of course doesn't roll around on the table 85 00:04:31,710 --> 00:04:35,100 and then the top part is all clean. You know flat wood flat 86 00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:40,110 wood Yeah. And then on that they put cauliflower and cucumbers 87 00:04:40,110 --> 00:04:43,110 and tomatoes and radishes and all kinds of stuff. That's 88 00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:45,420 really nice. You just everyone's just kind of dying at that at 89 00:04:45,420 --> 00:04:45,960 the table. I'm 90 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,290 surprised I'm surprised before you go on with a description 91 00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:54,930 that the EU allows it because of the trees you mean. Yeah, I mean 92 00:04:54,930 --> 00:04:57,750 they have this thing about how you can you know what food can 93 00:04:57,750 --> 00:05:00,600 touch and have all these rules coming out of Bell Gentlemen, I 94 00:05:01,050 --> 00:05:02,400 am shocked stunned by this. 95 00:05:02,430 --> 00:05:05,280 I'll tell you that the French as far as I can tell, don't give a 96 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:08,220 shit about the EU. I mean, they're smoking everywhere. 97 00:05:08,670 --> 00:05:11,430 They're doing everything that is not supposed to be possible in 98 00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:12,390 the European Union. 99 00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:16,050 Okay, that's good. Yeah, no excellent that people shouldn't 100 00:05:16,050 --> 00:05:18,240 be smoking but I'm just saying it's good that they're still 101 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,200 French but also 102 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,770 most of the people I met and and talk to definitely don't work 34 103 00:05:22,770 --> 00:05:28,620 hours a week, you know, there's more like 54 So another force, 104 00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:32,130 but great weather again, it was just a wave. 105 00:05:32,130 --> 00:05:34,770 Just get back to the food you will you get the plank of wood, 106 00:05:34,770 --> 00:05:36,390 it's got some cauliflower on it. 107 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:42,810 Okay, so when I so then I had artichoke, steamed artichoke. 108 00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:47,970 And which I kind of like you know, we take off the leaves and 109 00:05:47,970 --> 00:05:50,580 the closer you get to the centre to the heart of the artichoke, 110 00:05:50,580 --> 00:05:56,310 the more stuff there is on the leaves. Okay, and I had steak 111 00:05:56,310 --> 00:06:00,960 tar tar, which is basically a big slab of raw meat. 112 00:06:01,469 --> 00:06:03,299 Yeah, always a risk. Oh, it's 113 00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:12,030 good though. Oh, so good. And the only other spectacular thing 114 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,230 worth mentioning on this programme is the 14th of July 115 00:06:16,260 --> 00:06:21,690 which is kind of the French Independence Day known as they 116 00:06:21,690 --> 00:06:23,940 call it a couple different things but it's that steal 117 00:06:23,940 --> 00:06:28,560 Bastille Day we were invited to someone actually Patricia was 118 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:35,760 invited and so we all went along this apparently quite wealthy 119 00:06:37,290 --> 00:06:41,610 woman who was throwing a party on in her apartment but her 120 00:06:41,610 --> 00:06:46,560 apartment was the building next to the Carlton Hotel rooftop 121 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:52,560 penthouse with I don't know how big this rooftop penthouse was 122 00:06:52,590 --> 00:06:55,350 just on the you know the rooftops part of it but they 123 00:06:55,350 --> 00:07:01,170 were easily the 70 to 80 people outside comfortably and we had a 124 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,970 an unobstructed view of of the water where all the fireworks 125 00:07:05,970 --> 00:07:08,550 were ignited at. Oh, 126 00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,780 that's nice. Yeah, 127 00:07:09,779 --> 00:07:12,059 and there's a picture on korea.com You can see the 128 00:07:12,059 --> 00:07:13,169 situation you actually see 129 00:07:13,170 --> 00:07:15,630 you actually took a picture you brought a camera. Wow. Yes. 130 00:07:16,890 --> 00:07:19,650 Just a cell phone camera.

And because I you know, you know, I 133 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,210 left on on Friday the day the iPhone was supposed to come out. 134 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,290 And actually, I went to the store at nine in the morning. 135 00:07:34,290 --> 00:07:36,780 I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna go you know, go get one at the local 136 00:07:36,780 --> 00:07:39,990 Guilford shop at the O two store. I'll go pick up an iPhone 137 00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:42,780 that 3g model and I'll have something fun to play with 138 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,730 during the vacation. So I roll up there's 100 people in line in 139 00:07:47,730 --> 00:07:51,510 Guilford. And so you know I fall right and turn around because we 140 00:07:51,510 --> 00:07:53,790 had to leave 11 for the airport's turn around go back 141 00:07:53,790 --> 00:07:56,100 forget about it. You know, but throughout the week, I was kind 142 00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:58,950 of reading things and I've been you know, actually there were a 143 00:07:58,950 --> 00:08:03,300 couple of reviews and Financial Times and just some web reviews 144 00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:06,630 and the more I I was reading it the more I'm like you know, I 145 00:08:06,630 --> 00:08:08,100 don't know if this thing is really going to make me 146 00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:12,780 extremely happy. And you talked about the iPhone Yeah, the 147 00:08:12,780 --> 00:08:17,040 iPhone 3g I've been an iPod Touch user for ever since it 148 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:22,080 came out basically. And so I we got back last night and I 149 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:28,170 upgraded my ipod touch to the new 2.0 software. And like the 150 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,480 do I give a shit about you know, and I went through the App 151 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,990 Store. I'm looking at all the stuff and like well you know, it 152 00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:37,140 doesn't it doesn't really integrate with my entire life It 153 00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:39,840 syncs nicely with the Mac and all that and then I'm looking at 154 00:08:40,110 --> 00:08:43,470 reports on the battery life and you know how you can't actually 155 00:08:43,470 --> 00:08:47,220 get you know driving directions with a built in GPS not you know 156 00:08:47,220 --> 00:08:49,380 not with voice commands, I'm sure that's going to come out at 157 00:08:49,380 --> 00:08:53,010 some point but all this stuff that's still to come and and 158 00:08:53,010 --> 00:08:58,170 like I don't know. And I saw I broke down and went into town, 159 00:08:58,830 --> 00:09:03,180 looked at the iPhone 3g again. And then went next door and 160 00:09:03,180 --> 00:09:09,750 bought the new Nokia E 71. Which I'm just tickled to death over. 161 00:09:10,770 --> 00:09:16,320 Why? Well I've had the East 61 eye and basically everything 162 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,380 that I didn't like about it which mainly was processor 163 00:09:19,380 --> 00:09:23,550 speed. It's just you know, rendering web pages and all that 164 00:09:23,550 --> 00:09:27,840 stuff. And also the fact that the ice 60 or the 61 It doesn't 165 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:36,150 have H was at hdsp A the really high speed wireless access and 166 00:09:36,150 --> 00:09:39,510 also the form factor just the size of it and this e 71. If you 167 00:09:39,510 --> 00:09:43,230 look it up online then it is a it's a beautiful beautiful phone 168 00:09:43,230 --> 00:09:47,670 and is unbelievably fast. And it's me using this thing called 169 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,850 Joy cool spot. Have you heard of that? 170 00:09:52,020 --> 00:09:55,380 No, I'm looking at a picture of it now. Looks pretty cool. 171 00:09:55,710 --> 00:09:58,620 So this this thing called Joy coo spot you instal this little 172 00:09:58,620 --> 00:10:02,190 application which works on Now on the Symbian platform, and it 173 00:10:02,190 --> 00:10:07,380 turns your phone into a Wi Fi hotspot. So I just installed 174 00:10:07,380 --> 00:10:10,710 that in you. So basically now I have the, the 175 00:10:11,820 --> 00:10:14,460 image turns into what do you mean a hotspot also turns it 176 00:10:14,460 --> 00:10:15,750 into a transmitter Yeah, as 177 00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:19,470 well. So the the phone has a has Wi Fi, you know, so you can 178 00:10:19,470 --> 00:10:22,500 browse through high speed mobile data or through your Wi Fi 179 00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:27,180 access point. And what this joy joy cu spot thing does is it 180 00:10:27,180 --> 00:10:30,270 just reverses that process. And it turns your phone into a Wi Fi 181 00:10:30,270 --> 00:10:33,030 access point using its data connection. 182 00:10:33,570 --> 00:10:38,190 So I can show you okay, oh, this is also another Wi Fi can get it 183 00:10:38,190 --> 00:10:42,240 out. Because I'm stunned. In other words, what it does. So 184 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,720 essentially, it turns the phone into a hub. Like if you have 185 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,500 your laptop with you and you can't get a connection. Any way, 186 00:10:49,740 --> 00:10:52,800 shape or form you can call up that you can dial up on the 187 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,060 phone and the Phone becomes a Wi Fi hub as it were in the 188 00:10:57,330 --> 00:11:00,060 computer can talk to the phone which talks to the network and 189 00:11:00,060 --> 00:11:01,230 then you can get your email but yeah, 190 00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:04,080 exactly. So it just, it just routes. Well email me you can 191 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,630 get stuff at high speed. In fact, I think the speed that I'm 192 00:11:06,630 --> 00:11:10,110 getting through the phone through that Jaiku thing may 193 00:11:10,110 --> 00:11:14,910 actually be faster than my broadband router really? Well, 194 00:11:14,910 --> 00:11:17,340 you know, I got it. You know, we have shitty provisioning out 195 00:11:17,340 --> 00:11:20,010 here. 50 to one or whatever. So, everyone, everyone's sucking on 196 00:11:20,010 --> 00:11:23,040 the pipe and all you know, it's like when we have really shitty 197 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,690 shows. That's That's my access at home. Yeah, this thing. I've 198 00:11:27,690 --> 00:11:28,140 seen 199 00:11:28,349 --> 00:11:31,439 700 smaller than the 61 Buy a lot. 200 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,940 Yes, it's it's almost the exact same size as the iPod Touch, 201 00:11:35,940 --> 00:11:39,210 which is smaller than the iPhone. And it's great. It's got 202 00:11:39,210 --> 00:11:42,480 GPS built in with turn by turn instructions. It's got 203 00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:47,309 Nokia, Nokia, Nokia. Yeah, it's, it's got turned by really? 204 00:11:47,339 --> 00:11:48,269 Yeah. 205 00:11:48,660 --> 00:11:50,220 Looks like it's about 500 bucks. 206 00:11:51,270 --> 00:11:54,750 Yeah, there's a little more expensive here. It was like 300 207 00:11:54,750 --> 00:11:58,350 pounds. So about 600 bucks. And of course, that's an unlocked 208 00:11:58,350 --> 00:12:01,230 version. So I can put any sim card in that I want. I'm not 209 00:12:01,710 --> 00:12:02,910 locked into a carrier. 210 00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:06,630 And there's one on sale for 483 95 211 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,340 Damn, I should have waited. 212 00:12:10,770 --> 00:12:11,880 Well, that sounds like a winner. 213 00:12:11,910 --> 00:12:15,090 It's well you'll see in a couple of weeks when I'm over it is and 214 00:12:15,090 --> 00:12:19,620 it takes it takes good pictures. It Yeah, it has a 3.2 megapixel 215 00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:24,720 camera, which is the the e 61. Had a two megapixel and so also 216 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,470 the iPhone 3g only has a two megapixel camera. So it has a 217 00:12:28,530 --> 00:12:32,010 reasonable camera with with a flash. It also has 218 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,980 it has a flash with the dead can't do anything with the flash 219 00:12:34,980 --> 00:12:35,850 go for a foot. 220 00:12:36,270 --> 00:12:39,540 I don't know I haven't tried it yet. I got home when I called 221 00:12:39,540 --> 00:12:46,710 you. But it has a camera on the front. A VGA camera for video 222 00:12:46,710 --> 00:12:47,250 calls 223 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,550 on the front. So you can do phone sex. Yeah, 224 00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:53,580 another thing the the iPhone doesn't have and it just the 225 00:12:53,580 --> 00:12:54,510 more I was looking at it 226 00:12:54,510 --> 00:12:57,450 I thought it was supposed to get that everyone kept talking about 227 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,530 I think they bailed out on 228 00:13:00,059 --> 00:13:03,149 everything that I really missed in the iPhone, this thing 229 00:13:03,149 --> 00:13:06,539 hasn't. So combined with that with that hotspot software, I 230 00:13:06,539 --> 00:13:09,899 think I've got a real winning combination and smaller in size. 231 00:13:10,379 --> 00:13:12,989 And it has a keyboard, which I think is a big deal. And the 232 00:13:12,989 --> 00:13:15,749 keyboard. I'm loving this keyboard. And you're right, it 233 00:13:15,749 --> 00:13:17,969 is a big deal. It really is. 234 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,690 You know, I knew I've kind of gotten into I don't do it as 235 00:13:21,690 --> 00:13:25,290 much as I could. But I have to admit that you know, doing just 236 00:13:25,290 --> 00:13:28,860 SMS messaging, even though it's you know, sometimes messages get 237 00:13:28,860 --> 00:13:33,330 lost, I think is as you know, I think the kids got it right. I 238 00:13:33,330 --> 00:13:34,260 think it's a good thing. 239 00:13:35,309 --> 00:13:39,329 Yep. And so now I have to wean everybody off of my old phone 240 00:13:39,329 --> 00:13:42,569 number onto the new phone number because I finally broke down and 241 00:13:42,569 --> 00:13:45,389 got got a UK number to use. 242 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:46,830 Now it tells what it is 243 00:13:52,710 --> 00:13:54,540 trying to get one that's not being tapped. 244 00:13:56,010 --> 00:13:59,910 No, well, that's not going to happen. I mean, you probably got 245 00:13:59,910 --> 00:14:04,890 about a week before the actuation. As soon as the M i 246 00:14:04,890 --> 00:14:07,860 six or five or whichever group it is listening to who listens 247 00:14:07,860 --> 00:14:12,210 to the show. I figure they listen to the show, once a week, 248 00:14:12,660 --> 00:14:16,230 at about a week after the show's been out, and then they'll know 249 00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:19,080 you have the new phone and then they'll lock you into their 250 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:19,950 system shortly. 251 00:14:20,010 --> 00:14:22,920 Oh, it's no big deal over here. All you do is even the council 252 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,840 the Guilford Council can request a phone tap. Yeah. And they do 253 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,780 it by the 1000s I think it was 30,000 last year. 254 00:14:30,990 --> 00:14:35,220 I'm sure the Guildford Council has got you on their list. Yeah, 255 00:14:35,250 --> 00:14:38,460 well, I your troublemaker, your 256 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:45,360 England frickin troublemaker. But, man, it was good. It was 257 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,390 good to good to have vacation good to get away and I'm raring 258 00:14:48,420 --> 00:14:54,600 raring to go. And I did nothing but read paper, very, very 259 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,500 little internet access. So I literally would be reading The 260 00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:00,900 Financial Times back to back Every single day, 261 00:15:01,290 --> 00:15:04,140 I think I'm gonna get a subscription to to this is a 262 00:15:04,140 --> 00:15:09,690 change of my approach to things. I think I'm going to which is 263 00:15:10,020 --> 00:15:16,500 noteworthy, I think I'm going to get a jingle. When we do. So I 264 00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:19,200 think I'm going to get a subscription to the hard copy of 265 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,870 The New York Times, really. And here's the reason why here's my 266 00:15:24,870 --> 00:15:28,590 thinking is because I was at the travelling recently and I, you 267 00:15:28,590 --> 00:15:31,230 know, picked up a copy. Well, usually when I go to the 268 00:15:31,230 --> 00:15:33,660 airport, I scrounge around and try it, I think people should 269 00:15:33,660 --> 00:15:35,730 recycle more, I don't think they should be picking up those 270 00:15:35,730 --> 00:15:38,340 papers, I think people should be one of the reasons people don't 271 00:15:38,340 --> 00:15:40,500 buy newspapers anymore is because they feel guilty about 272 00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:42,990 all the trees that are being wasted. Seriously, and it's one 273 00:15:42,990 --> 00:15:45,870 of the, one of the you know, you sounds like a joke, but in fact, 274 00:15:45,870 --> 00:15:48,810 they've studied this, and people do feel bad about it. 275 00:15:48,810 --> 00:15:51,360 So what so like, 40% 50% 276 00:15:51,990 --> 00:15:55,770 lots Dibley 40, something like 40, or more, you know, as a huge 277 00:15:55,770 --> 00:15:58,380 number of people who don't like the idea, and it's also a pain 278 00:15:58,380 --> 00:16:00,600 in the ass to have a big stack of papers, you got to take into 279 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,100 the recycling bin. But anyway, the so I get to thing, I 280 00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:08,730 realised that the efficiency, which is what we have to 281 00:16:08,730 --> 00:16:10,770 consider here, rather than all the internet, you know, you 282 00:16:10,770 --> 00:16:13,140 always find out stuff and I was watching the news, the other 283 00:16:13,140 --> 00:16:16,890 data is noisy. And so and so blah, blah, blah, some guy 284 00:16:16,890 --> 00:16:19,620 killed somebody, we'll get back to it after this break, you 285 00:16:19,620 --> 00:16:21,720 don't know who it is. And then you don't even get to it until 286 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,050 the end of this show. I don't need this aggravation. So that's 287 00:16:25,050 --> 00:16:26,970 when the internet comes in handy. You go up and you can 288 00:16:26,970 --> 00:16:30,660 look things up. But forgetting just a hit of the news on a day 289 00:16:30,660 --> 00:16:34,830 to day basis, the efficiency of a big newspaper, where you just 290 00:16:34,830 --> 00:16:38,070 open it up, and you can really see what you know what, at least 291 00:16:38,070 --> 00:16:41,550 some people think is important. And you can also pick up on the 292 00:16:41,550 --> 00:16:44,040 kind of what's good about the New York Times isn't so much 293 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,090 news. But it's coverage of trends and trendsetters and 294 00:16:48,090 --> 00:16:52,230 things that are going on in the city that, you know, like, you 295 00:16:52,230 --> 00:16:56,160 know something about sunglasses or something about what people 296 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,070 are when women are wearing shorter shorts, basically 297 00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:04,230 trends, major basic cultural trends, it's more efficient to 298 00:17:04,230 --> 00:17:06,780 get that from from a paper because you get the paper you 299 00:17:06,780 --> 00:17:10,650 can spend 20 minutes whether you'd be on the net all day. And 300 00:17:10,650 --> 00:17:12,930 I think at the beginning to think that in terms of getting 301 00:17:12,930 --> 00:17:18,510 news. Although I think you know, a hit on one of the newspapers 302 00:17:18,510 --> 00:17:22,020 online, probably gets you some news. But I think overall, it's 303 00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:26,400 an inefficient way to gather the daily news and trends and things 304 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,800 that are going on if you if you need to talk about these sorts 305 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:29,190 of things. 306 00:17:29,370 --> 00:17:31,470 It's interesting you say that, because, you know, I was 307 00:17:31,470 --> 00:17:33,960 basically as I said, offline, and I'd just go down to the 308 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,560 harbour and I'd buy a Financial Times. And I really enjoyed that 309 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,020 format of getting my news exactly what you're saying 310 00:17:40,020 --> 00:17:43,080 there, you know, and Utah, in fact that take the first section 311 00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:45,630 and take it down to the pool. And I could fold it, I could 312 00:17:45,630 --> 00:17:47,910 fold it in another quarter, you know, just kind of hold it in 313 00:17:47,910 --> 00:17:51,930 like a book format and read read one article. And you're right. 314 00:17:51,930 --> 00:17:55,770 It's the importance, that whole layout, showing you what the 315 00:17:55,770 --> 00:17:59,070 editors or whoever's responsible for the, for the front page. And 316 00:17:59,070 --> 00:18:02,940 for each section, you really get a much better global overview 317 00:18:02,940 --> 00:18:06,000 that you is impossible to get online, or at least I it hasn't 318 00:18:06,180 --> 00:18:07,590 worked for me yet that way. 319 00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:10,950 No, I think people get more from this show, which they listen to, 320 00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:14,070 and it's very slow. And then this show is we don't really 321 00:18:14,070 --> 00:18:17,370 have a lot of bandwidth in terms of when you're talking you 322 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,010 because I did this with one of my speeches recently, I had it 323 00:18:20,010 --> 00:18:25,020 transcribed. I gave a one and a half hour speech on the state of 324 00:18:25,020 --> 00:18:27,240 the art in the newspaper industry, whites, you know, 325 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:32,490 having problems, although now I'm in denial about it. And so I 326 00:18:32,490 --> 00:18:35,430 had it transcribed by a transcription service, and a 327 00:18:35,430 --> 00:18:42,540 whole hour and a half speech was 7500 words. Right? And I have a 328 00:18:42,540 --> 00:18:45,480 fairly fast talker. I'm not I mean, I mumble a little bit and 329 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,630 sometimes I stammer, but the fact of the matter is, that's 330 00:18:48,630 --> 00:18:53,010 about what it is. And so to our show, we have to assume that 331 00:18:53,010 --> 00:18:56,850 it's probably running around 7500 words, which is really 332 00:18:56,850 --> 00:19:01,530 three feature stories, 2500 word stories in a newspaper, which 333 00:19:01,530 --> 00:19:07,410 you can really plough through in about 10 minutes. So what I'm 334 00:19:07,410 --> 00:19:10,950 saying is that the newspaper, the old fashioned newspaper, I'm 335 00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:13,350 saying for one thing, yeah, this shows inefficient, but the 336 00:19:13,350 --> 00:19:17,550 newspaper is extremely efficient and efficient way to get a lot 337 00:19:17,550 --> 00:19:21,540 of information fast. And I think that can't be denied. And the 338 00:19:21,540 --> 00:19:26,160 internet is not as, as as efficient at getting you this 339 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,320 much information. This quickly. 340 00:19:28,380 --> 00:19:31,380 Will also you still in most cases, you have to act as kind 341 00:19:31,380 --> 00:19:34,350 of like the editor, you have to figure out what's important, you 342 00:19:34,350 --> 00:19:37,200 know, because yeah, there might be something on the homepage. 343 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,180 But it's typically not the same. That's being highlighted in the 344 00:19:42,180 --> 00:19:44,580 in the paper and then all the other sections like you know, 345 00:19:44,820 --> 00:19:48,480 then it's almost like a weblog version, you know, reverse 346 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,930 chronological order and not not another layout. You know I love 347 00:19:51,930 --> 00:19:55,350 looking at financial times has that sidebar, like oh, here's 348 00:19:55,350 --> 00:19:57,660 all the stories within this section of the paper. Oh, I 349 00:19:57,660 --> 00:20:00,900 might skip ahead to something Yeah. It's good, I like it, 350 00:20:00,930 --> 00:20:03,960 I have, probably, I should probably put the Financial Times 351 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,410 on the list and subscribe to that, too. Now, now thinking 352 00:20:07,410 --> 00:20:10,290 about that, and then the fact that I've been giving these 353 00:20:10,290 --> 00:20:12,900 talks about the newspaper business being in decline, and 354 00:20:12,900 --> 00:20:16,230 it is, I realised that one of the problems they have is there, 355 00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:18,690 you know, because they're so arrogant, the newspaper people 356 00:20:18,690 --> 00:20:21,000 don't, you know, they're just so full of themselves, generally 357 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,590 speaking, because they, you know, they know they're doing a 358 00:20:22,590 --> 00:20:24,240 good job, they don't want to listen to anybody from the 359 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,360 outside telling them what to do. But the one thing is that 360 00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:30,540 they're not doing very well is marketing in their product 361 00:20:30,540 --> 00:20:33,150 anymore, they've never bothered to market it. I mean, they talk 362 00:20:33,150 --> 00:20:36,000 about, you know, their idea of marketing is almost like the 363 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,450 Chinese method of marketing, you know, the Chinese, you know, if 364 00:20:39,450 --> 00:20:42,180 you always boil down any Chinese philosophy of marketing, it 365 00:20:42,180 --> 00:20:45,810 always comes down to one thing, best price. They don't have, 366 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,580 they don't care about advertising, they don't care 367 00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:49,920 about, you know, messages, they don't care about anything, just 368 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,280 best price, they'll do the trick. So which you know, is is 369 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,530 a detriment to them, and everyone else in the newspaper, 370 00:20:55,530 --> 00:20:58,350 people must be the same way, because their whole idea of 371 00:20:58,350 --> 00:21:00,810 marketing is giving you a deal, you know, well, we'll give you a 372 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,760 month for free, the 373 00:21:03,900 --> 00:21:05,430 free CD inside. 374 00:21:05,970 --> 00:21:09,840 So the point is, is that if they would market the newspapers the 375 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,410 way I'm doing now for them, which is to say, look, this is a 376 00:21:13,410 --> 00:21:16,230 very efficient, well, you guys don't have a lot of time on your 377 00:21:16,230 --> 00:21:19,620 hands. You mean, how much time do you have to kill dicking 378 00:21:19,620 --> 00:21:23,610 around online surfing the net? If you want an efficient hit of 379 00:21:23,610 --> 00:21:27,840 news and trends and information, nothing beats the newspaper. 380 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,870 It's extremely efficient here. This is why you should 381 00:21:30,870 --> 00:21:32,940 subscribe. I've never heard that message. 382 00:21:33,570 --> 00:21:37,110 No, you're right. And how about newsstand placement? I don't 383 00:21:37,110 --> 00:21:39,270 know if they have to fight for that. Or if they still do or if 384 00:21:39,270 --> 00:21:43,170 they care. But where you're where your stuff is in the stand 385 00:21:43,170 --> 00:21:46,590 and what's on that front page. I mean, that's that's a big part 386 00:21:46,590 --> 00:21:47,640 of marketing there too. 387 00:21:48,060 --> 00:21:50,640 Ya know, the front pay well and in Europe, and I think we've 388 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,660 talked about this on the show before. Adapt, because 389 00:21:54,660 --> 00:21:57,270 everything you know, people want you know, you go to a new 390 00:21:57,270 --> 00:22:01,830 standard people travel they hit, go to Heathrow, or any place 391 00:22:01,830 --> 00:22:04,860 where there's a big Newsstand. You look at these screaming one, 392 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,370 you want to buy a lot of magazines, because they they 393 00:22:08,370 --> 00:22:11,820 have you know, these fantastic layouts, and they scream at you. 394 00:22:11,820 --> 00:22:15,030 You're right, they did demand that you pay attention. We don't 395 00:22:15,030 --> 00:22:17,280 do so much of that in the States, even though I mean 396 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,030 magazines, like cosmopolitan, kind of do that. But generally 397 00:22:21,030 --> 00:22:25,200 speaking, the difference is and people have to realise this is 398 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:30,000 that in the US most of the magazines and newspapers account 399 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,550 for the most of their income from subscriptions. and in 400 00:22:32,550 --> 00:22:37,830 Europe. is all done on the newsstands. 401 00:22:37,860 --> 00:22:40,710 Yeah, well in New York used to I don't know if it's still that 402 00:22:40,710 --> 00:22:43,110 way. Yeah, I guess it is. You had those newsstands where you 403 00:22:43,110 --> 00:22:45,990 buy your dirty magazines, your cigarettes, your chewing gum, 404 00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:46,110 and 405 00:22:46,499 --> 00:22:48,869 yeah, but if you look at the really hot magazines, that those 406 00:22:48,869 --> 00:22:51,269 newsstands you're talking about, and they're all over New York, 407 00:22:51,629 --> 00:22:54,359 the hot magazines, the ones I always get gravitate to are the 408 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:55,829 ones that are brought over from Europe. 409 00:22:55,860 --> 00:22:56,970 Yeah, yeah, true. 410 00:22:58,740 --> 00:23:03,150 Like the spy and some like weird Wine Magazine, or some screwball 411 00:23:03,150 --> 00:23:07,620 magazine that's coming out of England or somewhere. Yeah. 412 00:23:09,030 --> 00:23:12,900 Anyway, so that's the deal. So they meanwhile the newspaper of 413 00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:15,960 course, no one newspaper person is listening to this show either 414 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,960 because they're sitting around amongst themselves, which is 415 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,040 what they do and you know, wondering what's going on but I 416 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,860 guess I guess it's just too expensive of format to maintain 417 00:23:25,860 --> 00:23:28,440 their their business model. I mean, that it seems like no 418 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,410 one's really doing any great business. No one's you know, 419 00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:36,090 raking it in while maybe Murdoch is who now of course, also owns 420 00:23:36,090 --> 00:23:39,570 the Wall Street Journal. That'll be interesting to see how that 421 00:23:39,570 --> 00:23:40,200 Yeah, 422 00:23:40,410 --> 00:23:45,540 yeah, I was. When I went to Manhattan a few weeks back, the 423 00:23:45,570 --> 00:23:48,630 we had the editor because I went with MarketWatch, we had an 424 00:23:48,690 --> 00:23:54,570 editorial meeting amongst the colonists. And one of the we 425 00:23:54,570 --> 00:23:57,540 have some characters for colonists that to say, but 426 00:23:57,540 --> 00:24:01,560 anyway, the they brought in the editor in chief because Murdoch 427 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,140 also owns MarketWatch. Now Oh, really? I didn't know that. 428 00:24:04,590 --> 00:24:07,260 Yeah, well, Dow Jones, but market watch. And so he owns 429 00:24:07,410 --> 00:24:09,450 everything. And so they 430 00:24:09,870 --> 00:24:12,450 call yet where they say Hey, John, that we want you to stay 431 00:24:12,450 --> 00:24:15,180 away from those topics. We'd like you to focus a little bit 432 00:24:15,180 --> 00:24:17,250 more on this kind of news. 433 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,310 No, my understanding is what they they just wait for you to 434 00:24:20,310 --> 00:24:25,470 make mistakes and fire. Yeah. Okay. Much easier to tell you 435 00:24:25,470 --> 00:24:29,640 what to do. So now that I don't think there's a lot of that kind 436 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,380 of direction but the they did bring in a guy who's the hatchet 437 00:24:34,380 --> 00:24:37,290 man, I guess one of Murdoch's right hand man, men, that guy 438 00:24:37,290 --> 00:24:41,070 was now running the Wall Street Journal in to talk to us. And 439 00:24:41,310 --> 00:24:44,640 there it is that it's starting. Yeah, but I couldn't figure out 440 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,380 what he was talking about. That's the only thing. 441 00:24:47,790 --> 00:24:49,830 I mean, well, I've really been paying a lot of attention. 442 00:24:49,860 --> 00:24:52,170 Obviously reading, reading the news. I've been paying a lot of 443 00:24:52,170 --> 00:24:56,550 attention to what people are saying and in the words that 444 00:24:56,550 --> 00:24:58,650 they're using all these you know, I guess you'd call them 445 00:24:58,650 --> 00:25:03,300 code. code. And uh, yeah, and a big word these days is shock boy 446 00:25:03,300 --> 00:25:07,320 that's being used a lot. The oil shock, the credit crisis shock. 447 00:25:07,860 --> 00:25:11,730 Everything's a shock. And on the heels of that I read The Shock 448 00:25:11,730 --> 00:25:15,360 Doctrine by Naomi Klein, which kind of clarified a couple 449 00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:18,210 things for me about the uses of the word. But just interesting 450 00:25:18,210 --> 00:25:19,080 to note, 451 00:25:19,470 --> 00:25:22,590 that have been noted, noted it here, maybe I'm not paying 452 00:25:22,590 --> 00:25:27,480 attention. Show. So what did Naomi Klein say about Shock 453 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,110 Doctrine? 454 00:25:28,140 --> 00:25:32,250 Well, this comes. So the word shock comes from the Chicago 455 00:25:33,030 --> 00:25:37,800 school of economics, which was founded by a guy named Friedman, 456 00:25:37,830 --> 00:25:39,210 I'm sure you've heard of him. 457 00:25:40,590 --> 00:25:43,560 Now, you're not talking about Milton Friedman? Yeah, I 458 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,900 think it's Milton Friedman. Well, I mean, he came 459 00:25:45,930 --> 00:25:50,070 that school that that, that he was way after that thing began, 460 00:25:50,070 --> 00:25:51,030 I mean, there's earlier 461 00:25:52,140 --> 00:25:55,980 name, he didn't even found the school, but he started the 462 00:25:56,010 --> 00:26:01,920 current. Okay. Yeah, the current thought of how economics should 463 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:02,370 work. 464 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,570 And he's the guy from this generation. 465 00:26:06,630 --> 00:26:10,260 Right. And so, you know, we you see who, who has studied at the 466 00:26:10,890 --> 00:26:16,590 Chicago School of Economics and who, who, what alumni have 467 00:26:16,620 --> 00:26:20,040 advised, which world leaders, you know, some of them actually, 468 00:26:20,310 --> 00:26:26,040 you know, sleeping with, with, with, with literature, going to 469 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,190 bed reading it getting up and reading more. And, and a lot of 470 00:26:29,190 --> 00:26:33,540 it is based on the shock theory. And one example that was, that 471 00:26:33,540 --> 00:26:39,450 was in there was Katrina. So Katrina hit. And the first thing 472 00:26:39,450 --> 00:26:43,320 that they were the first group to take advantage of, of the 473 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,730 shock of what took place, were people who went in and changed 474 00:26:47,730 --> 00:26:50,550 the entire school system did away with public schooling and 475 00:26:50,550 --> 00:26:53,880 came up with vouchers for charter schools for these 476 00:26:53,910 --> 00:26:57,840 commercial entities. And, you know, like the tsunami in 477 00:26:59,820 --> 00:27:06,090 December 2006, was it 2006? Yeah. Or to get 2006 You know, 478 00:27:06,090 --> 00:27:10,170 that the people came in and took advantage of the shock by 479 00:27:10,380 --> 00:27:14,220 immediately turning that whole coastline into hotels, and, you 480 00:27:14,220 --> 00:27:18,390 know, all the fishermen could go, you know, basically leave, 481 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,780 or were not invited to come back. And, you know, things are 482 00:27:21,780 --> 00:27:25,650 changed drastically when there's a big shock, and it happens 483 00:27:25,650 --> 00:27:28,680 very, very quickly. And, and you 484 00:27:28,950 --> 00:27:31,590 think that's what you know, that's an interesting, I should 485 00:27:31,590 --> 00:27:33,330 read that, I guess. But why bother 486 00:27:33,330 --> 00:27:35,250 is not nothing. Yeah, you'd enjoy it. 487 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,520 But it's interesting in light of the New Orleans thing, because 488 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,590 there is a you know, every time people go there, I have to go 489 00:27:43,590 --> 00:27:46,770 there, I'm gonna have to get over down there somehow. And 490 00:27:46,770 --> 00:27:49,020 because everybody goes there, Jesus, just like worse than what 491 00:27:49,020 --> 00:27:51,900 nothing's changed just a mess. They've apparently left it, you 492 00:27:51,900 --> 00:27:54,300 know, most of the area, the Ninth Ward, and all those areas 493 00:27:54,300 --> 00:27:58,830 that were decimated, just a mess, that stinks. And it just 494 00:27:58,830 --> 00:28:03,210 seems to me as though almost the whole thing is a scheme to just 495 00:28:03,270 --> 00:28:06,780 take New Orleans and get rid of all those poor black people. And 496 00:28:06,780 --> 00:28:10,080 everything that was that was kind of sleazy about New 497 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,620 Orleans, and and turn it into kind of a, you know, a yuppie 498 00:28:13,620 --> 00:28:14,070 bill. 499 00:28:14,310 --> 00:28:18,300 Yeah. So essentially all that won't be the theory would say, 500 00:28:18,330 --> 00:28:21,510 Yeah, and when you read it, yeah, there's points about that 501 00:28:21,510 --> 00:28:23,460 in the book as well. All that public housing and you know, the 502 00:28:23,460 --> 00:28:26,190 problem was basically solved. Okay, it's all done now. So 503 00:28:26,190 --> 00:28:29,940 that's taken care of here but no, no thought about Okay, where 504 00:28:29,940 --> 00:28:32,610 did the hundreds of 1000s of homeless people go or where do 505 00:28:32,610 --> 00:28:39,150 they migrate to? Exactly But yeah, and you know, so So this I 506 00:28:39,150 --> 00:28:42,300 read Shock Doctrine. And then I keep seeing this word shock and 507 00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:45,540 it's always in associate well these days it's it's associated 508 00:28:45,540 --> 00:28:48,990 with oil you know, the oil shock which by the way, what is going 509 00:28:48,990 --> 00:28:55,830 on oil went from $146 a barrel it's down now 228 510 00:28:56,340 --> 00:28:59,880 Yeah, I think I think I think it peaked I think you're wrong. No 511 00:29:00,990 --> 00:29:04,140 no, I think this is the pullback they're about to flip the levers 512 00:29:04,140 --> 00:29:04,890 big time. 513 00:29:05,910 --> 00:29:08,490 There the The jig is up? No, 514 00:29:08,519 --> 00:29:11,219 I don't think so. And by the way, how can you say that these 515 00:29:11,219 --> 00:29:14,429 prices are not based upon speculators when it clearly is 516 00:29:14,429 --> 00:29:17,159 the the options expired on every month? I 517 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,620 never said it wasn't based on speculators? No, I'm just 518 00:29:19,620 --> 00:29:23,280 saying, Oh, I'm sorry. I've also been reading everywhere that all 519 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,350 these studies have been done everyone's saying don't blame 520 00:29:25,350 --> 00:29:26,490 the speculators it's 521 00:29:26,490 --> 00:29:28,980 not you know, that's a crock of crap. I can't believe that. 522 00:29:28,980 --> 00:29:29,970 Yeah, they're saying 523 00:29:29,970 --> 00:29:32,130 over and over again. And you know, they're doing all these 524 00:29:32,130 --> 00:29:35,130 studies and oh, no, we checked it all out. It's not the stock 525 00:29:35,130 --> 00:29:38,400 exchange there's not the speculators No, it's your market 526 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:43,020 forces are into this. So these options you buy you know, stuff 527 00:29:43,020 --> 00:29:46,440 like oil, you buy options on and they expire on what is it the 528 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,280 the Thursday of every month or the third Tuesday or something 529 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,490 like that? Some like that. So you know, on Tuesday, the 530 00:29:53,490 --> 00:29:58,140 options all expire the the price drops five bucks, and it starts 531 00:29:58,140 --> 00:30:00,780 to go down. Then of course we have you know, What is about to 532 00:30:00,780 --> 00:30:04,830 be the most interesting moment in, in financial history, as 533 00:30:04,830 --> 00:30:07,980 Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are, are going to be subsidised by 534 00:30:07,980 --> 00:30:13,530 you, and I essentially taxpayers a scam, that big time, and 535 00:30:13,620 --> 00:30:16,110 that's gonna cause more inflation, right? I mean, you 536 00:30:16,140 --> 00:30:19,650 you print up money you give it to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 537 00:30:19,650 --> 00:30:23,490 and there's more money in circulation and it devalues the 538 00:30:23,490 --> 00:30:27,150 dollar and causes inflation, I think, what are we gonna do? 539 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,940 Just keep watching. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know what 540 00:30:32,940 --> 00:30:36,180 we're gonna do. But it's been interesting, you know, looking 541 00:30:36,180 --> 00:30:40,800 across those three lines of US News, UK NEWS, and and to some 542 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,130 extent, even Dutch news. And, and I saw something that 543 00:30:44,130 --> 00:30:50,490 happened. Someone sent me a note two days ago, that double 544 00:30:50,490 --> 00:30:54,630 jeopardy is now being eliminated systematically in the European 545 00:30:54,660 --> 00:30:57,720 member states. So it's about to leave in. Oh, that's 546 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,650 interesting. Yeah. Alright, so it's about to be taken away in 547 00:31:01,650 --> 00:31:06,600 Ireland, the Netherlands. And I presume as the New World Order 548 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,000 continues, eventually they'll try and do that in the States. 549 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:09,870 But yeah, it's happy 550 00:31:10,260 --> 00:31:12,300 that you mentioned it, because you know, one of the things that 551 00:31:12,300 --> 00:31:14,760 they've always done, you know, a lot of this has always 552 00:31:14,999 --> 00:31:17,669 been, you know, maybe we should explain double jeopardy real 553 00:31:17,669 --> 00:31:20,489 quick. So not really understand that you do it, because you'll 554 00:31:20,549 --> 00:31:21,359 do a better job. 555 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,780 Essentially, what it says is that if you're a indicted for a 556 00:31:24,780 --> 00:31:31,680 crime, let's say murder, and you are found not guilty, you cannot 557 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,470 be retried, even if they find all kinds of evidence of 558 00:31:34,470 --> 00:31:38,460 including a movie of you killing the person. Because that's 559 00:31:38,490 --> 00:31:42,000 double jeopardy, you can't Yeah, because then the reason for the 560 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,960 laws is it makes some sense. And if you think about it, the way 561 00:31:45,990 --> 00:31:49,200 if double jeopardy doesn't exist, and they are like say 562 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,920 they're after Adam curry. They want to get him in, they want to 563 00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:56,280 imprison him somehow. So those trump up some charge, and then 564 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,640 they find him not guilty. And so they just just charge him again, 565 00:31:59,670 --> 00:32:02,610 and then again, and then again, and then again. And so the guys 566 00:32:02,610 --> 00:32:05,430 never had a court, because you can just keep doing it over and 567 00:32:05,430 --> 00:32:07,530 over and over again until you just how until the guy's 568 00:32:07,530 --> 00:32:11,070 basically dies of old age. And so so that so there's a good 569 00:32:11,070 --> 00:32:16,230 reason for these laws. But the public has been, you know, over 570 00:32:16,230 --> 00:32:19,320 time, you know, there's a brainwashing thing afoot where 571 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,490 you have, you know, movies and stories where you have the evil 572 00:32:23,490 --> 00:32:27,540 guy who somehow manages to scheme the system. 573 00:32:28,140 --> 00:32:31,200 OJ Simpson, that's an example for you. Yeah, OJ Simpson is 574 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,520 a good example. And so you know, and now you find out that he did 575 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,810 it or whatever. 576 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,410 Or he writes a book and says he, if he was going to do it, this 577 00:32:40,410 --> 00:32:41,310 is how we do it. 578 00:32:41,730 --> 00:32:43,800 Yeah, that kind of whatever, you know, there's a but he's 579 00:32:43,830 --> 00:32:45,570 probably one of the many examples so 580 00:32:45,570 --> 00:32:48,900 in this in this change of law, they're specifically saying that 581 00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:52,440 because of new developments in DNA, which is this, this really 582 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,590 scares me, but you know, they should they now want to say, you 583 00:32:55,590 --> 00:32:59,760 know, what, if we find DNA evidence, 20 years later, we 584 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,340 want to be able to go back and prosecute that person, which of 585 00:33:02,340 --> 00:33:04,860 course is really really frightening because, you know, 586 00:33:05,340 --> 00:33:07,980 why do you check all this DNA stuff? You know, I'm willing to 587 00:33:07,980 --> 00:33:08,280 blow 588 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,390 I mean, I'm game for the DNA to get people off. I mean, which is 589 00:33:12,390 --> 00:33:15,060 what they've been doing in this country is which essentially is 590 00:33:15,060 --> 00:33:17,460 they find these guys who have been imprisoned especially in 591 00:33:17,490 --> 00:33:20,040 places like Texas where they just you know, they the guy is 592 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:27,330 Black Death Row. And so they've gotten a lot of people off and 593 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,320 with DNA but to go back in time if the guy's already been on 594 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:37,830 trial. The DNA is one more just one more straw, you know, that 595 00:33:37,830 --> 00:33:40,410 she This is where you get into the situation where every time a 596 00:33:40,410 --> 00:33:42,360 new technology comes in, I mean, you might as well just say, 597 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,510 Well, every time they improve DNA testing let's go back after 598 00:33:45,510 --> 00:33:47,070 the same guys over and over again. 599 00:33:48,660 --> 00:33:51,360 John, that's exactly what they're saying. Yeah, 600 00:33:51,779 --> 00:33:55,769 no, it's that's a part of a that's just another step toward 601 00:33:55,769 --> 00:33:57,179 fascism. I mean, let's face it. 602 00:33:57,509 --> 00:34:00,449 Absolutely. What does it call them Latin the beasts Edom I 603 00:34:00,449 --> 00:34:03,809 think is what it is or not. No. Yeah. I don't know what it's 604 00:34:03,809 --> 00:34:06,869 called. But it's totally another step towards fascism. And I'm 605 00:34:06,869 --> 00:34:09,929 convinced you know, now looking at this because the talk still 606 00:34:09,929 --> 00:34:14,189 continues about the the Lisbon Treaty, the European Union's 607 00:34:14,189 --> 00:34:16,949 constitution, which really wasn't a constitution, but it 608 00:34:16,949 --> 00:34:21,959 was and because it wasn't called constitution got rammed through 609 00:34:21,959 --> 00:34:25,079 is now through and 21 of the 27 member states with Ireland, 610 00:34:25,079 --> 00:34:28,559 still the only ones who had a referendum saying No, and it's 611 00:34:28,559 --> 00:34:31,409 like these guys just, it's like they're ignoring it. Oh, well, 612 00:34:31,409 --> 00:34:35,039 you know, Sarkozy is I think he's in three, he's the 613 00:34:35,039 --> 00:34:37,559 president now the European Union. He's in Ireland this 614 00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:40,889 weekend, or this coming week. And, you know, he's like, Well, 615 00:34:40,889 --> 00:34:44,459 I'll talk to my boy over there. And I think we'll have to hold 616 00:34:44,489 --> 00:34:47,219 another vote. Yeah, that's pretty clear. We need another 617 00:34:47,219 --> 00:34:49,469 vote because the first vote button to have the outcome 618 00:34:49,499 --> 00:34:50,189 desired. 619 00:34:50,730 --> 00:34:53,010 Yeah, just keep doing it over and over and over until you get 620 00:34:53,010 --> 00:34:56,520 them to vote, vote something in, which is an old trick. 621 00:34:57,330 --> 00:35:00,600 Let me guess, the fastest trick You know, 622 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,790 the funny thing is you begin to have to come up with the new 623 00:35:02,790 --> 00:35:06,510 word besides fascist. And the reason for that is because, you 624 00:35:06,510 --> 00:35:09,660 know, it's you know, it's marginalised as a term if Ah, 625 00:35:09,660 --> 00:35:12,570 yeah, you're calling everything a fascist You're an idiot, you 626 00:35:12,570 --> 00:35:16,230 know you've been attacked is is not fascism in the sense of the 627 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,770 of the fascist party, or the actual political movement that 628 00:35:19,770 --> 00:35:22,890 took place in the 19 I guess it was in the late 20s with people 629 00:35:22,890 --> 00:35:25,950 like I think Mussolini was like one of the progenitors maybe one 630 00:35:25,950 --> 00:35:31,080 of the main guys that began the process at this is something 631 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,930 else and we have to but there's no name for it and you know, you 632 00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:37,200 can say well, it's you know, we throw out the term fascism, but 633 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:42,000 it's not really fascism because Fascism is like you know, was a 634 00:35:42,060 --> 00:35:45,960 was a party in fact, it was a it was a political and a 635 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,890 sociological concept. That's this is a little different in 636 00:35:49,890 --> 00:35:52,290 some funny ways. Got it. What was said, but it's never been, 637 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,430 no term has been dropped on it. We need to get nasty new word 638 00:35:57,180 --> 00:36:00,930 that you can keep calling this situation, and we don't have 639 00:36:00,930 --> 00:36:03,120 one. I think it's important that we develop one. 640 00:36:03,180 --> 00:36:06,270 Well, I'm looking now at the thesaurus. Let me see if I can 641 00:36:06,270 --> 00:36:13,500 find anything. Hmm. autocracy dictatorship Nazism totalitarian 642 00:36:13,590 --> 00:36:19,980 totalitarianism that's fascism just sounds so good, doesn't it? 643 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,890 Yeah, it's a nice word. But I you know, the thing is, I think 644 00:36:22,890 --> 00:36:24,690 we've got to come up with something else because it just 645 00:36:24,690 --> 00:36:27,690 sounds you sound like the problem with using fascism. In 646 00:36:27,690 --> 00:36:31,710 fact, I ran into a crackpot friend of mine the other day who 647 00:36:31,710 --> 00:36:34,410 used the term and the first thing you think of is when 648 00:36:34,410 --> 00:36:37,770 somebody is fascist you think of Hitler guy's a crackpot? And 649 00:36:37,770 --> 00:36:42,030 that's the problem with the term No, could you and I saying it 650 00:36:42,030 --> 00:36:44,490 you know people listening is that there's two crackpots are 651 00:36:44,490 --> 00:36:47,700 hilarious we should listen to every week. But 652 00:36:47,790 --> 00:36:50,490 what's happening I think particularly in Europe you know 653 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,950 pretty much mirrors the definition of fascism 654 00:36:54,060 --> 00:36:58,500 Yeah, no, it does but we needed it problem is is the term itself 655 00:36:59,700 --> 00:37:02,310 you know, people who see flying saucers you know, even if they 656 00:37:02,310 --> 00:37:04,530 see one you know, they're not going to be believed for 657 00:37:05,250 --> 00:37:08,250 the activity is heating up in the UK over flying saucers. 658 00:37:09,060 --> 00:37:12,060 Flying saucers are hot right now. In fact, a Larry King, I 659 00:37:12,060 --> 00:37:13,920 have been flipping through, you know, the channels. This is 660 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,010 nothing you have Shirley MacLaine on again? No, no, he's 661 00:37:17,010 --> 00:37:20,280 got these fees. It he's done at least three Shows that I know of 662 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,770 where he has these flying saucer experts 663 00:37:22,830 --> 00:37:26,520 and their ex military in the Shirley MacLaine was on with a 664 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,900 couple of them, I think, must have been maybe half a year ago, 665 00:37:30,900 --> 00:37:34,140 I happened to catch it. And she's one way to Yeah, well, you 666 00:37:34,140 --> 00:37:36,480 know, but you know, surely McCain comes across this kind of 667 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:41,550 kooky kind of, yeah, but I think she's intelligent. You know, and 668 00:37:41,550 --> 00:37:47,280 as Dennis Kucinich can't see there you go. You're vague and 669 00:37:47,370 --> 00:37:50,310 yeah, you're calling people crackpots for having said they 670 00:37:50,310 --> 00:37:55,050 saw you oppose there was a UK police helicopter that chased 671 00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:59,190 one. They say We chased a UFO and this is only a couple of 672 00:37:59,190 --> 00:38:03,420 weeks ago, and then went out to sea. And then you know, they 673 00:38:03,450 --> 00:38:06,600 continued to with their pursuit, and they had to give up because 674 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,700 they ran out of fuel essentially, they had to go back 675 00:38:08,850 --> 00:38:12,360 but they said was a UFO I don't care what you say it was a UFO 676 00:38:13,470 --> 00:38:18,060 guy and last night show they had a bunch of these guys, including 677 00:38:18,060 --> 00:38:22,050 a guy from Wade king does it is he has to have the UFO, you 678 00:38:22,050 --> 00:38:25,020 know, really the guys that are credible, but they're a little 679 00:38:25,020 --> 00:38:27,660 out there. And then you have a couple of guys who are sceptics, 680 00:38:27,870 --> 00:38:31,020 and the one guy who made this, you know, very good comments, 681 00:38:31,020 --> 00:38:35,070 his looks look, were white, you know, with all these cameras out 682 00:38:35,070 --> 00:38:38,430 there, how come nobody's ever gotten a good picture? 683 00:38:39,810 --> 00:38:42,750 Because they're all using iPhones with two megapixel 684 00:38:42,750 --> 00:38:43,440 cameras. 685 00:38:44,370 --> 00:38:48,450 I'm just saying, you know, where's the good picture? And 686 00:38:48,450 --> 00:38:50,730 you know, like a good picture. There's not they're always just 687 00:38:50,730 --> 00:38:53,610 blurry things done with a you know, a little.on a screen and 688 00:38:53,610 --> 00:38:55,800 look, look, there it is. And it's like a little white thing 689 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,900 flying around. I mean, it could be some kid with a model 690 00:38:57,900 --> 00:38:59,310 aeroplane. No, 691 00:39:00,330 --> 00:39:04,290 go to YouTube or better yet, Google video and look for 692 00:39:04,290 --> 00:39:08,100 something called the Disclosure Project, which was it's a video 693 00:39:08,100 --> 00:39:12,990 from 2000 and the Disclosure Project was this entire panel 694 00:39:13,020 --> 00:39:18,120 have must have been 20 Guys, all ex military, ex pilots, ex NSA, 695 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,200 ex CIA, you know, retired most of them. And several of them who 696 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,130 did air traffic control radar and say look, you know, we're 697 00:39:26,130 --> 00:39:31,710 tracking an object at 80,000 feet, which is pretty high and 698 00:39:31,710 --> 00:39:34,500 that we could just see it stop. We could see it hover we could 699 00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:38,400 see it make a 90 degree left hand turn says there's no doubt 700 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,650 about it. That was nothing earthly that was that was making 701 00:39:40,650 --> 00:39:43,800 those moves and the point of the Disclosure Project is that all 702 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,050 go up there they state their case, you know, they've got all 703 00:39:46,050 --> 00:39:49,230 all have their own stories have their own proof. And then each 704 00:39:49,230 --> 00:39:52,860 of them ends by saying, um, you know, my name is Lieutenant 705 00:39:52,860 --> 00:39:57,540 General so and so retired, and I'm willing to testify about 706 00:39:57,540 --> 00:39:59,730 these facts before Congress, you know, that was kind of the what 707 00:39:59,730 --> 00:40:00,720 the gist closure project. 708 00:40:02,129 --> 00:40:05,219 The other comment that somebody made is you know why these 709 00:40:05,219 --> 00:40:07,199 aliens have all this taken there wasn't one of them just, you 710 00:40:07,199 --> 00:40:12,269 know, stop in the you know, take a stop and one of the teleports 711 00:40:12,269 --> 00:40:13,229 and get out and 712 00:40:13,799 --> 00:40:17,129 well you know what? Okay you know the theories I mean there's 713 00:40:17,129 --> 00:40:22,019 many theories why the prevalent one being that this did happen 714 00:40:22,019 --> 00:40:25,769 this is part of what Roswell was all about and there was contact 715 00:40:25,769 --> 00:40:29,789 and the governments of the world who shot him shot the fucker 716 00:40:29,789 --> 00:40:33,269 down. The governments of the world have been in contact and 717 00:40:33,299 --> 00:40:37,019 they have you know, they gave us technology we give them babies 718 00:40:37,019 --> 00:40:38,879 to eat and blood to drink chemical. My you've read these 719 00:40:38,879 --> 00:40:40,379 theories with strawberry 720 00:40:40,380 --> 00:40:44,370 ice cream is one of the things they like. So I haven't come 721 00:40:44,370 --> 00:40:48,000 across that one yet. Oh, yeah, that's in there, believe me. And 722 00:40:48,330 --> 00:40:51,180 well, anyway, so the thing is, is a trend right now, because in 723 00:40:51,180 --> 00:40:53,940 that, you know, the UK has released their UFO files, the 724 00:40:53,940 --> 00:40:56,160 French did it back in, I think they were the first to do it 725 00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,270 back in March. And then I think the UK did it since then. And 726 00:41:00,270 --> 00:41:03,240 then due to French didn't get much publicity for theirs. But 727 00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:06,510 everybody is doing it. Now. It's up to us. And now they're so now 728 00:41:06,870 --> 00:41:10,350 hounded. And I think there's a big thing going on. And I think 729 00:41:10,350 --> 00:41:14,370 a lot of it when it really boils down. It's for the next X Files 730 00:41:14,370 --> 00:41:18,090 movie, the whole thing is a big, it's a big scam. I'm telling 731 00:41:18,090 --> 00:41:21,990 you, anything. I I believe that when you start seeing this stuff 732 00:41:21,990 --> 00:41:24,390 happening all at once like this out of the blue, and then a 733 00:41:24,390 --> 00:41:28,350 movies coming out. I'm looking at who's the PR person I like to 734 00:41:28,350 --> 00:41:31,200 meet this person, you know, and shake their hands because you're 735 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:35,190 worried we're witnessing one of the greatest stunts in the 736 00:41:35,190 --> 00:41:37,770 history of marketing. Yeah, 737 00:41:38,310 --> 00:41:41,220 wouldn't it wouldn't surprise me It may if you look at how short 738 00:41:41,220 --> 00:41:43,770 the lines are between White House and some of the companies 739 00:41:43,770 --> 00:41:48,660 that own that own scripts and movie companies to produce? Why 740 00:41:48,660 --> 00:41:49,050 not? 741 00:41:49,620 --> 00:41:53,490 Yeah. You know, you've dug in Viacom, you know, they own most 742 00:41:53,490 --> 00:41:57,720 of the content. I think Viacom if I'm not mistaken. I think 743 00:41:57,720 --> 00:41:59,160 they own CNN. I'm not sure. 744 00:41:59,610 --> 00:42:03,120 Man, that's also that's really bugging me that whole Viacom 745 00:42:04,260 --> 00:42:08,520 YouTube thing. But I think they backed off. Well, they, they 746 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,550 backed off why they they're still getting the so here's the 747 00:42:11,550 --> 00:42:14,850 thing that I love, this is what I get the IPS, no, no, no, then 748 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:19,290 but that's only for external. They, they would do want all of 749 00:42:19,290 --> 00:42:25,770 the usernames or IDS or IPS addresses of the people within 750 00:42:25,770 --> 00:42:30,930 YouTube. Meaning that if they or even Google, I guess so if they 751 00:42:30,930 --> 00:42:37,020 were to get Eric Schmidt details of what he was looking at. And 752 00:42:37,020 --> 00:42:40,290 he was looking at Jon Stewart, or any other person within 753 00:42:40,290 --> 00:42:43,680 YouTube, if they you know, if they were essentially aware that 754 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:48,030 there was illegal content on there as proven by the logs, 755 00:42:48,390 --> 00:42:51,660 then they're in deep shit. Because you know, that you can't 756 00:42:51,660 --> 00:42:55,170 do you can't be sifting around for stuff and then not taking it 757 00:42:55,170 --> 00:42:58,080 down. You know, the that's not exactly how the 758 00:42:58,410 --> 00:43:00,540 No, that's interesting. You know, I didn't know this. But 759 00:43:00,540 --> 00:43:05,010 yes, the way discovery should work. Yeah. Yeah, no, I think 760 00:43:05,010 --> 00:43:07,620 that's actually valid, but I think is very valid. That would 761 00:43:07,620 --> 00:43:08,820 be interesting to to do. 762 00:43:09,930 --> 00:43:13,440 Well, I think that's, I think it's explicit or implicit that 763 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:14,310 that's what they're gonna do. 764 00:43:14,790 --> 00:43:18,360 Yeah, no, I, you know, thinking about it. I do the same thing. 765 00:43:18,510 --> 00:43:18,900 Yeah. 766 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,980 So then, of course, it doesn't fall into the safe harbour of 767 00:43:23,580 --> 00:43:24,780 the DMCA. 768 00:43:25,590 --> 00:43:30,450 Right now. They're lame excuse. Well, we didn't know this is out 769 00:43:30,450 --> 00:43:35,250 the window. Now, but I'm pretty good at this sift through a lot 770 00:43:35,250 --> 00:43:36,030 of IPs. 771 00:43:36,660 --> 00:43:39,390 But internally is not all that bad. They'll get they'll get 772 00:43:39,390 --> 00:43:41,790 enough hits. They'll get enough hits to prove it. No problem. 773 00:43:41,790 --> 00:43:44,730 And it'll be easy, I'm sure. Yeah. 774 00:43:44,730 --> 00:43:47,190 You know, yeah, I think you're dead. Right. And I think that 775 00:43:47,190 --> 00:43:51,810 they will prove it because it's lacs. I mean, it did operation 776 00:43:51,810 --> 00:43:55,110 the YouTube whole YouTube thing from the beginning was is lacks 777 00:43:55,140 --> 00:43:55,650 that and 778 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,980 Google video. I mean, there's not a single thing that you can 779 00:43:58,980 --> 00:44:01,710 think of that you're looking for any documentary, anything has 780 00:44:01,710 --> 00:44:04,770 been on the BBC of interest, you'll be able to find it in its 781 00:44:04,770 --> 00:44:07,800 in its entirety. Right there uploaded, converted, ready for 782 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,200 for searching and an enjoyment. 783 00:44:10,890 --> 00:44:13,140 Yeah, no, I've watched a lot of stuff from there. 784 00:44:13,170 --> 00:44:16,350 So what does what does that mean? I mean, once Viacom 785 00:44:16,410 --> 00:44:18,570 because I'm sure Viacom is gonna say okay, hey, you know what, 786 00:44:18,570 --> 00:44:22,050 it's not not 1 billion. I think it's 10 billion, or whatever, 787 00:44:22,620 --> 00:44:28,770 to be able to change the number after the you know, maybe I 788 00:44:28,770 --> 00:44:30,990 don't know how I actually would have to talk to an attorney 789 00:44:30,990 --> 00:44:31,560 about that one. 790 00:44:31,590 --> 00:44:33,930 Here's what I think the game plan is. I think the game plan 791 00:44:33,930 --> 00:44:38,040 is on a on a broad scale. Remember, it's it is Viacom, 792 00:44:38,070 --> 00:44:41,460 Sumner Redstone, you know, one of the most powerful men in the 793 00:44:41,460 --> 00:44:46,920 world. I would say that this this whole copyright thing 794 00:44:46,950 --> 00:44:50,730 that's just a farce, you know, that's just a front to turn the 795 00:44:50,730 --> 00:44:57,120 ISPs into filters and police stations, essentially. So it 796 00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,180 starts with Oh, you're looking at something illegally. Oh, No, 797 00:45:00,180 --> 00:45:02,730 no, no can't do that, you know, and then all you have to do is 798 00:45:02,730 --> 00:45:04,260 just determine what's the legal. 799 00:45:07,049 --> 00:45:11,369 Maybe it could be, I'm out. And I think it's actually with deep 800 00:45:11,369 --> 00:45:13,499 packet sniffing and some of these other technologies that 801 00:45:13,499 --> 00:45:17,729 are coming out, it's possible that you could, you could do 802 00:45:17,729 --> 00:45:21,119 things, especially if there were watermarks and flags and things 803 00:45:21,119 --> 00:45:21,509 like that they 804 00:45:21,510 --> 00:45:24,090 would be I don't even need deep packet sniffing, just look at 805 00:45:24,090 --> 00:45:27,450 the HTTP request, it can be really simple. But what it is 806 00:45:27,450 --> 00:45:30,420 it's turning your ISP, your direct connection to the 807 00:45:30,420 --> 00:45:34,350 internet, the first hop you make to the, to the to the network, 808 00:45:34,590 --> 00:45:38,010 it's turning that into a filtering station, you know, the 809 00:45:38,010 --> 00:45:41,490 cops, the man checking us out, you know, they can filter what 810 00:45:41,490 --> 00:45:43,890 for what we know, they have the technology to filter out 811 00:45:43,890 --> 00:45:47,400 whatever they want, and listen, or, you know, search for key 812 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,750 words. I mean, that's not too hard. So one and one is to man. 813 00:45:52,770 --> 00:45:58,320 So back to our fascism story, right? Yeah, it all boils down 814 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,320 at the same time it does, we need a better word. We need a 815 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,290 better word. Maybe people out there who listen, we have like 816 00:46:04,290 --> 00:46:10,380 30,000 listeners, I think. Somebody if we were we used to 817 00:46:10,380 --> 00:46:13,890 braid the mob, as it were, which I'm sure this is close to being 818 00:46:13,890 --> 00:46:18,450 one. See if there's anybody out there that can help us come up 819 00:46:18,450 --> 00:46:22,020 with a new term that describes the New World Order, which is 820 00:46:22,020 --> 00:46:26,610 what we're talking about here, in some some way that you can 821 00:46:26,610 --> 00:46:30,660 use to really, it's gotta be a negative word, but it's got to 822 00:46:30,660 --> 00:46:35,490 be modern. Yeah. It's kinda can't be It can't be 823 00:46:35,490 --> 00:46:38,070 marginalised. And it can't make you sound like a crackpot when 824 00:46:38,070 --> 00:46:38,790 you use it. 825 00:46:39,749 --> 00:46:44,999 Okay, oh, I got a funny story to tell you. So, Dr. Ron Paul, as 826 00:46:44,999 --> 00:46:51,149 you know, I'm a supporter of Dr. Ron. He's doing an alternative 827 00:46:52,439 --> 00:46:56,459 convention in Minneapolis, right in the same week, when the 828 00:46:56,459 --> 00:46:58,829 Republican Convention is taking place. They're doing this, you 829 00:46:58,829 --> 00:47:03,059 know, big concert on, I think, September, the second on 830 00:47:03,059 --> 00:47:06,299 Tuesday, 15,000, seat, auditorium, whatever, they're 831 00:47:06,299 --> 00:47:08,309 gonna have been your artists there. It's, it's really, it's 832 00:47:08,309 --> 00:47:12,989 gonna be the calling at the rally for the Republic. But the 833 00:47:12,989 --> 00:47:15,989 day before that on Monday, is when they're doing something in 834 00:47:15,989 --> 00:47:20,159 a football stadium. And that's going to be more for the for the 835 00:47:20,159 --> 00:47:25,319 diehard, the diehards, if you will. And so they like you 836 00:47:25,349 --> 00:47:27,989 exactly. Well, so they called me up, they said, Would you mind 837 00:47:28,319 --> 00:47:31,769 hosting the event? And I'm like, no, that sounds like fun. And I 838 00:47:31,769 --> 00:47:34,799 said, you know, so I don't make sure I talk about it on the on 839 00:47:34,799 --> 00:47:37,469 my shows, you know, because I said certainly the daily source 840 00:47:37,469 --> 00:47:40,709 code, I know I've got lots of reptilian hunters and tinfoil 841 00:47:40,709 --> 00:47:44,459 hat wearers. And, and then the guy says, oh, as we like to call 842 00:47:44,459 --> 00:47:50,069 them our core base. Like, Right on, man, right on, so I'm gonna 843 00:47:50,069 --> 00:47:54,719 do that September 1, I'm gonna I'm gonna host the rally for the 844 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,089 Republic. It's gonna I think it's gonna be a lot of fun. I 845 00:47:57,089 --> 00:47:57,269 feel 846 00:47:57,270 --> 00:47:58,620 it's gonna be where's it going to be 847 00:47:58,650 --> 00:47:59,460 Minneapolis? 848 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:04,680 It's what specifically what an auditorium at that stadium. 849 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:06,930 You know what, there's, by the way, have 850 00:48:06,930 --> 00:48:10,350 you ever been to Minneapolis? Yes, I have. It's a great place. 851 00:48:10,350 --> 00:48:12,270 And that the thing I recommend people will do is go to their 852 00:48:12,270 --> 00:48:17,460 museums. They have two or three just stunning art museums that 853 00:48:17,460 --> 00:48:18,870 are really worth checking out. I shot. 854 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:21,390 Sorry, no, go ahead. 855 00:48:21,990 --> 00:48:24,480 I'm just gonna say it also they you know, it's a very Cosmo. 856 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,710 It's a much more cosmopolitan city than you think. 857 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,510 Oh, totally. And they have Mall of America there of course. 858 00:48:34,650 --> 00:48:37,800 And well, I don't get that actually, to me is a point 859 00:48:37,830 --> 00:48:39,390 against but that's another story. 860 00:48:39,420 --> 00:48:43,350 Well, it relates to why I was there. I was shooting a 861 00:48:43,350 --> 00:48:46,980 television commercial for Sam goody. And we're shooting it at 862 00:48:46,980 --> 00:48:49,170 the SAM Goody store in the Mall of America because of course, 863 00:48:49,170 --> 00:48:52,620 that's their flagship stores, the biggest one or whatever. And 864 00:48:52,950 --> 00:48:55,410 so it's like a three day shoot. And the second night I'm there I 865 00:48:55,410 --> 00:48:58,950 get a call around midnight in the hotel room. So I pick it up. 866 00:48:59,220 --> 00:49:03,780 Yeah. Yeah. Prince is. Prince has a party over at Paisley 867 00:49:03,780 --> 00:49:07,080 Park, which is famously in Minneapolis as well. says do you 868 00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,650 want to come? I'm like, Let me think. Uh, yeah. Okay, well, 869 00:49:10,650 --> 00:49:13,740 there's a car downstairs waiting for you. And so I got whisked 870 00:49:13,740 --> 00:49:19,230 away to to the Purple Palace. And and there was a party at the 871 00:49:19,230 --> 00:49:23,490 at the Paisley Park. It's a Yeah, it's a it's a happening 872 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:24,390 happen in town. 873 00:49:25,380 --> 00:49:29,190 So how was the party? Did you get to meet Prince? Yeah. Was he 874 00:49:29,190 --> 00:49:30,870 going by the name Prince at the time? 875 00:49:30,930 --> 00:49:34,980 Yeah. Yeah, no, I think it was gone by the name of prints at 876 00:49:34,980 --> 00:49:39,030 the time. Yeah. So you come in, you go through a metal detector 877 00:49:39,030 --> 00:49:41,010 which makes sense and then there's like this, you know, 878 00:49:41,010 --> 00:49:42,420 there's a whole bunch it's really clean. 879 00:49:42,540 --> 00:49:44,850 You know, you're going to a real party real party. You're 880 00:49:44,850 --> 00:49:49,320 going through a metal detector. Yeah, it was it was a big room. 881 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:55,590 Lit but dimly lit but of a white room across one side that just 882 00:49:55,590 --> 00:49:59,910 the the nicest buffet had seen in a long, long time. And then 883 00:49:59,910 --> 00:50:03,210 we As a DJ with like a mobile setup, and he was playing all 884 00:50:03,210 --> 00:50:06,030 kinds of Prince tunes you've never heard before in your life 885 00:50:06,030 --> 00:50:09,780 it's like there must have been 150 Beautiful girls and boys 886 00:50:09,780 --> 00:50:13,110 nothing else of course it was kind of funny because Prince was 887 00:50:13,110 --> 00:50:16,290 standing over by by the speed by the speakers, you know the new 888 00:50:16,290 --> 00:50:19,620 the DJ, and I was talking to a couple of couple of people so 889 00:50:19,620 --> 00:50:22,200 I'm gonna go over and say hi to him and this one girl I kid you 890 00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,330 not says Oh, you shouldn't you better not do that man. You 891 00:50:24,330 --> 00:50:27,900 better not. Why not? Well, because you're you're like six 892 00:50:27,900 --> 00:50:30,300 feet tall and you're white man. That's two strikes you don't 893 00:50:30,300 --> 00:50:33,810 want to be talking to friends play fuck you. So So I went over 894 00:50:33,870 --> 00:50:36,450 introduced myself and guy was not first of all, he's not that 895 00:50:36,450 --> 00:50:41,220 small. You know, the stories about him. You think he was an 896 00:50:41,250 --> 00:50:47,820 Oompa Loompa. But anyway, he was really nice and, and he knew you 897 00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,640 know, what I had done on MTV, just the previous week. And 898 00:50:50,730 --> 00:50:54,630 instead in my, my daughter was had been born maybe, maybe she's 899 00:50:54,630 --> 00:50:56,820 a year old and sitting here. How's your how's your daughter? 900 00:50:56,820 --> 00:50:58,980 And he knew what was going on and was fantastic. 901 00:50:59,340 --> 00:51:03,930 business visa visa artists slash business, man lewdly. Why would 902 00:51:03,930 --> 00:51:06,690 he be a jerk like this girl thinks because well, she 903 00:51:06,690 --> 00:51:09,120 obviously likes to project that image for good reason. Because 904 00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,760 he doesn't want to be bothered by every schmuck and by her 905 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:17,400 in particular, I think. And the coolest thing, though, was 906 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,530 because the party ends at a certain point, you know, prints 907 00:51:19,530 --> 00:51:21,840 of course, he only made his appearance and he was there for 908 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,960 a little while. And then he disappeared and, and then all of 909 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,650 a sudden, you know, his guys come through this room. And they 910 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:32,340 all they do is they just kind of like flick flashlights on and 911 00:51:32,340 --> 00:51:35,610 off, pointed at the floor. And they just walk around. They're 912 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,740 clicking their flashlights, and everyone knows Oh, it's time to 913 00:51:37,740 --> 00:51:40,530 go. And then within 15 minutes, the whole place was empty. 914 00:51:43,350 --> 00:51:45,240 So like a slick party, 915 00:51:45,300 --> 00:51:50,220 very slick party. So anyway, that was my my one time in, in 916 00:51:50,220 --> 00:51:54,990 Minneapolis and I think maybe I was there in Minneapolis. Do 917 00:51:54,990 --> 00:51:58,350 they have Do they ever do Indy? In Minneapolis? 918 00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:01,140 Yeah, in the fall? Do 919 00:52:01,140 --> 00:52:05,070 they have any race? Tracks? I don't know. Maybe? I can't 920 00:52:05,070 --> 00:52:07,200 really get in the middle of the summer, that's for sure. 921 00:52:07,350 --> 00:52:12,240 Yeah, I can't remember. Anyway, Minneapolis, 922 00:52:12,269 --> 00:52:15,059 so you're going up there you're gonna go up there for to be the 923 00:52:15,059 --> 00:52:18,359 host that you're the guy announces man, ladies and 924 00:52:18,359 --> 00:52:22,769 gentlemen, Ron Paul. That kind of thing. Yeah, exactly. 925 00:52:22,980 --> 00:52:27,150 And there'll be artists there. A cheer Ha, yeah. And I'll be 926 00:52:27,150 --> 00:52:29,550 like, you know, I'm gonna wear my tinfoil hat. You know, it'd 927 00:52:29,550 --> 00:52:33,300 be cool. Patricia made me one. I got a really nice one. 928 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,780 Cool. Yeah, we did a couple of blog posts on tinfoil hats, 929 00:52:36,780 --> 00:52:40,470 including things about two or three years ago, some kids at 930 00:52:40,470 --> 00:52:44,760 MIT or someplace had done a whole study of tinfoil hats and 931 00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,550 they would send radio waves at people with a different styles 932 00:52:47,550 --> 00:52:50,280 of hats. And they finally came up with one design that perfect 933 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:50,730 design. 934 00:52:50,730 --> 00:52:53,460 Oh, yeah, absolutely. I've always thought that would be a 935 00:52:53,460 --> 00:52:56,250 great idea as as like a giveaway, you know, you could 936 00:52:56,610 --> 00:53:01,260 basically you you package up a big sheet of industrial 937 00:53:01,890 --> 00:53:05,520 aluminium tin foil, with instructions on how to fold it, 938 00:53:05,850 --> 00:53:08,130 and how to how to make your hat. Yeah, man, it's 939 00:53:08,130 --> 00:53:11,490 great. Let's do it. Let's do the Adam and John tin foil hat 940 00:53:11,490 --> 00:53:16,080 company. And we could actually make a kit. So not that cheap as 941 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,110 aluminium foil the tin stuff, which the radio waves can get? 942 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,450 No, no, it's got to be the hard course. By the way, it's 943 00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:26,310 aluminium. It's not to you aluminium. Well, we got to 944 00:53:26,310 --> 00:53:27,900 differentiate ourselves in the market. 945 00:53:28,379 --> 00:53:31,289 We can use the Canadians pronounce it that way too. So we 946 00:53:31,289 --> 00:53:35,099 can get away with aluminium aluminium hat. So we can be the 947 00:53:35,099 --> 00:53:39,239 aluminium hat company. Do It Yourself hat it comes in a kit. 948 00:53:40,049 --> 00:53:44,159 Make it then like 995 with complete instructions. And you 949 00:53:44,159 --> 00:53:47,579 know a nice package with the with the pieces of foil and how 950 00:53:47,579 --> 00:53:50,549 to you know fold them up and the whole nine yards. I'm sure 951 00:53:50,759 --> 00:53:54,569 people would vices is good a deal. And we can get the the 952 00:53:54,569 --> 00:53:59,159 aluminium printed. Oh, yeah. So it had some sort of logo on it. 953 00:53:59,159 --> 00:54:00,149 I think we'd have some, 954 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,880 I bet you someone's already already started this this 955 00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,480 company. There's no way we're the only guys coming up with 956 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:07,170 this idea. 957 00:54:07,620 --> 00:54:11,490 Well, I know but we have. We have marketing behind us savvy. 958 00:54:11,519 --> 00:54:12,869 We've got marketing savvy. 959 00:54:13,019 --> 00:54:15,119 I think we could sell 10,000 units. 960 00:54:16,230 --> 00:54:20,160 You might be right. But think about how your cost is very low. 961 00:54:20,820 --> 00:54:23,550 But you know, it's just gonna be real. It's gonna be quality 962 00:54:23,550 --> 00:54:26,790 aluminium. And yeah, if we could print it even better, you know, 963 00:54:26,790 --> 00:54:30,000 fold along this line, like an origami thing. 964 00:54:30,510 --> 00:54:33,930 Yeah, that'd be outstanding. We need to there's gotta be 965 00:54:33,930 --> 00:54:38,070 somebody out there that's in the metal business. That has a clue. 966 00:54:38,070 --> 00:54:40,470 I mean, you could even have an upgraded hat. Because what 967 00:54:40,470 --> 00:54:42,720 you're really, what's it made out of copper foil? 968 00:54:43,350 --> 00:54:45,630 Oh, because that really stops the RFID? Well, I 969 00:54:45,630 --> 00:54:47,520 don't know that it does any better. I mean, the stuff that 970 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:49,590 really would work would be I mean, there's two ways you can 971 00:54:49,590 --> 00:54:52,860 go about it. You can make a Faraday cage, which I think 972 00:54:52,860 --> 00:54:57,660 would be the coolest thing to have a Faraday cage hat because 973 00:54:57,660 --> 00:55:02,190 then nothing can get through period. I guess you could get 974 00:55:02,190 --> 00:55:07,140 underneath maybe could come up through your feet. But anyway, 975 00:55:07,140 --> 00:55:12,060 you get Faraday cage that would be cool. And I lead is always, 976 00:55:12,330 --> 00:55:14,460 always a winner, but then they're too heavy 977 00:55:14,490 --> 00:55:17,970 not exactly convenient to wear on your head, big lead 978 00:55:17,970 --> 00:55:21,390 hat. But but lead foil is not you know, you could lead foil 979 00:55:21,390 --> 00:55:25,170 can be, you know, a very effective and there isn't a such 980 00:55:25,170 --> 00:55:26,190 thing as lead foil. 981 00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,190 And well, John, you know, we 982 00:55:29,190 --> 00:55:32,400 have to do Faraday cage is the one I'm, I'm kind of feeling 983 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:33,600 good about. Yeah, well, 984 00:55:33,660 --> 00:55:36,810 we should we should get this going before September first, 985 00:55:36,810 --> 00:55:38,670 and we'll go on with some of the settlement, the event 986 00:55:38,700 --> 00:55:41,160 settlement, the venue, our merch. 987 00:55:41,610 --> 00:55:44,940 Well, here's, here's another possibility. How about an inch 988 00:55:44,970 --> 00:55:47,940 because especially for this event, you're talking about a 989 00:55:47,940 --> 00:55:54,210 baseball cap insert. That's a Faraday cage. And in other 990 00:55:54,210 --> 00:55:56,760 words, like a beanie, it's like it's like a yarmulke. Yeah, like 991 00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,550 a big thing that goes inside a baseball cow 992 00:55:59,580 --> 00:56:02,610 inside the cap. Yeah, that's a good idea inside the cap and 993 00:56:02,610 --> 00:56:05,220 you can wear a regular baseball cap and you got this protection 994 00:56:05,700 --> 00:56:11,520 and it would be cool and light and and you don't look as nutty 995 00:56:11,670 --> 00:56:12,120 and would keep 996 00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,910 you cooler in the winter and cool in the summer and warm in 997 00:56:14,910 --> 00:56:18,420 the winter to its floor wax and a dessert topping. 998 00:56:19,170 --> 00:56:22,470 So I think we were on the I should did mentioning is now and 999 00:56:22,470 --> 00:56:24,570 I'm writing up the patent as we speak so I don't want anyone 1000 00:56:24,570 --> 00:56:28,770 stealing this idea. Yeah, it's a good Well, yeah. Faraday cage 1001 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,190 insert for a baseball cap. So when the guy said because you're 1002 00:56:32,190 --> 00:56:34,230 gonna go to this place, you're gonna have a lot of people with 1003 00:56:34,620 --> 00:56:41,310 baseball cat caps that say cat. Root, but the people don't 1004 00:56:41,310 --> 00:56:43,740 realise you out there don't and especially the European audience 1005 00:56:43,740 --> 00:56:47,640 listening and they refers to the Caterpillar Tractor Company. And 1006 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:52,380 there's a bunch of these hats is a cat that people in the Midwest 1007 00:56:52,410 --> 00:56:53,460 enjoy wearing. 1008 00:56:53,490 --> 00:56:56,190 Yeah, and because basically you get 50 of them when you buy a 1009 00:56:56,190 --> 00:56:59,310 cat when you buy one of these. Right? 1010 00:57:00,780 --> 00:57:04,380 backhoe or product or tractor one of these big things that 1011 00:57:04,380 --> 00:57:05,280 pushes dirt. 1012 00:57:08,490 --> 00:57:12,270 Man, okay, it's a plan. And we just gotta find someone who can. 1013 00:57:13,380 --> 00:57:14,970 Who can do the printing. 1014 00:57:15,390 --> 00:57:17,730 There's got to be well, you know, if we do we do that, but 1015 00:57:17,730 --> 00:57:19,680 I'm thinking more now I'm starting to think about this 1016 00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:23,310 Faraday cage insert for a baseball cap. You know, there's 1017 00:57:23,310 --> 00:57:27,750 gotta be some cat company in China. That makes a caps or 1018 00:57:27,750 --> 00:57:30,660 skullcaps because we're talking about basically a skull cap that 1019 00:57:30,660 --> 00:57:35,010 you wear inside a baseball hat. Yeah. They can't cause that 1020 00:57:35,010 --> 00:57:37,200 much. I mean, there's got to be a manufacturer in China that 1021 00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,800 could crank out 10,000th of the skullcaps easily Yeah, in the 1022 00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:43,350 form of a Faraday cage, like within a week. 1023 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:47,010 a Faraday cage or Faraday shield is an enclosure formed by 1024 00:57:47,010 --> 00:57:51,060 conducting material or by a mesh of such material, such an 1025 00:57:51,060 --> 00:57:54,990 enclosure, external static electrical fields. Faraday cages 1026 00:57:54,990 --> 00:57:57,990 are named after physicist Michael Faraday, who built one 1027 00:57:57,990 --> 00:58:02,100 in 1836. Coming from Wikipedia, 1028 00:58:02,670 --> 00:58:06,030 yeah, I have actually a wallet not to sound like I'm a complete 1029 00:58:06,030 --> 00:58:09,030 nutcase. But I've written about this in PC Magazine. There's a 1030 00:58:09,030 --> 00:58:12,090 guy down in Southern California that makes these things I'll 1031 00:58:12,900 --> 00:58:15,150 I've seen, I've seen them for your passport and for your 1032 00:58:15,150 --> 00:58:15,660 wallet. 1033 00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:19,200 Yeah, yeah, I got the well, he's he makes wallets that have a 1034 00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,540 Faraday cage built into them. And that's what I use for my 1035 00:58:21,540 --> 00:58:24,630 wallet. Even though I really haven't gotten any RFID. But I 1036 00:58:24,630 --> 00:58:27,000 just think it's interesting. Anyway, the funniest, 1037 00:58:27,660 --> 00:58:32,130 I bought the before we went on vacation, I bought three or four 1038 00:58:32,130 --> 00:58:35,820 books, and one of them was the shock doctrine. And I started it 1039 00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,940 at home when I was laying on the couch and I opened I crack it 1040 00:58:38,940 --> 00:58:42,180 open as paperback, a crack could crack it open. And outfalls an 1041 00:58:42,180 --> 00:58:46,500 RFID. Chip, you know, one of those pieces of paper so you 1042 00:58:46,500 --> 00:58:49,830 don't steal the book? Yeah, that was pretty trippy. 1043 00:58:50,460 --> 00:58:53,040 Yeah, I would I like to do with those. But if you can find them, 1044 00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:57,120 is I like to let them double sided tape on him or something 1045 00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,760 and slap people in the back. So they're walking around. It's 1046 00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,560 also fun to stick them in somebody at the bottom of 1047 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:06,150 somebody's shoe. That's horrible. So as they walk out of 1048 00:59:06,150 --> 00:59:08,130 the store, the thing goes off like a you know, like they're 1049 00:59:08,130 --> 00:59:09,360 stealing something that's great. 1050 00:59:09,540 --> 00:59:14,970 I've been looking for I've been looking for an RFID reader. It's 1051 00:59:14,970 --> 00:59:18,900 apparently it's not all that easy to have one one device that 1052 00:59:18,900 --> 00:59:22,110 can read all different forms of RFID chips because it has to 1053 00:59:22,380 --> 00:59:25,200 send out a signal has to then scan a whole bunch of different 1054 00:59:25,230 --> 00:59:29,190 high frequencies to receive the relatively weak signal because 1055 00:59:29,190 --> 00:59:32,760 I'd love to know you know, what stuff around me has RFID chips 1056 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:33,390 embedded in it. 1057 00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,270 That's a great idea. But it's but 1058 00:59:37,770 --> 00:59:40,680 here's the here's another product. We're just productizing 1059 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:45,270 today which is another Silicon Valley term. I hate 1060 00:59:45,300 --> 00:59:49,290 it productizing becomes before monetizing. Yeah, product. 1061 00:59:49,290 --> 00:59:53,070 Yeah, you gotta productize then you monetize. So anyway, so. So 1062 00:59:53,370 --> 00:59:57,360 the idea is, is to create a device that is similar to a 1063 00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:00,840 Geiger counter. And so far as that They will spot on it 1064 01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:04,440 doesn't read the chips, it just has the induction output that 1065 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,860 will signal one of these chips to send back. Exactly Oh, I'm 1066 01:00:07,860 --> 01:00:10,560 here, right? And then so you'll know there's a chip there, you 1067 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,480 don't need to know what's on that chip, you just need to know 1068 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:16,230 that chip exist. That would be cheaper. And it would solve the 1069 01:00:16,230 --> 01:00:19,560 problem you're after, which is why we know what RFID is. So 1070 01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,980 what why am I surrounded by RFID? Chips? And if so, where 1071 01:00:22,980 --> 01:00:23,370 are they? 1072 01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:24,270 So check? Did 1073 01:00:24,270 --> 01:00:28,170 I tell you about the about the writing a patent upon that? 1074 01:00:29,130 --> 01:00:31,860 Did I tell you about the RFID chip that was used during this 1075 01:00:32,130 --> 01:00:36,630 Four Day Marathon walking in Holland? When you ingest 1076 01:00:36,660 --> 01:00:39,450 Oh, this is great. you ingest? So yeah, and then you crap it 1077 01:00:39,450 --> 01:00:42,720 out? No, no. Yeah, well, yes. Stay in your forever. 1078 01:00:42,780 --> 01:00:46,800 But first of all the know you crop it out. The marathon walk 1079 01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,670 happens once a year. It's called the four day. And it was a 1080 01:00:50,670 --> 01:00:53,400 health thing that that's how it started initially. And now lots 1081 01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:56,220 of walking clubs. And it's basically you walk, I don't know 1082 01:00:56,250 --> 01:00:58,890 the equivalent of a marathon, but you do it over four days, 1083 01:00:58,890 --> 01:01:01,830 it's walking, it's not running. It's just hundreds of 1000s of 1084 01:01:01,830 --> 01:01:06,270 people walking these routes. It's pretty cool. But to you, 1085 01:01:06,870 --> 01:01:11,040 last year, it was so hot that a lot of people became you know, 1086 01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,650 seriously, Ill fainted. I think a couple of people actually died 1087 01:01:13,650 --> 01:01:17,280 of heat exhaustion, exhaustion. And so this year, under the 1088 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,130 auspices of, well, we want to create something that doesn't 1089 01:01:20,130 --> 01:01:23,220 let that happen again, this company has developed a pill, 1090 01:01:23,340 --> 01:01:27,330 you swallow the pill, it has RFID dust or you know, the 1091 01:01:27,330 --> 01:01:32,820 equivalent of very, very small RFID transmitters in it, it 1092 01:01:32,820 --> 01:01:35,910 stays in your body for approximately 24 hours. But 1093 01:01:35,910 --> 01:01:41,460 check this, they it transmits through Bluetooth to your cell 1094 01:01:41,460 --> 01:01:46,020 phone, your temperature. And if your temperature goes up to a 1095 01:01:46,020 --> 01:01:49,710 certain degree, then you'll receive a text message that 1096 01:01:49,710 --> 01:01:52,530 says, hey, you should drink something. And if it goes, Yeah, 1097 01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:55,740 you're kidding. No, I'm not. That's absolutely true. And if 1098 01:01:55,740 --> 01:01:59,010 it goes up to a dangerous level, you get a text message that says 1099 01:01:59,010 --> 01:02:02,400 you have to stop now, I'm pretty sure that the RFID chip is not 1100 01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,970 transmitting the Bluetooth, I think they have an a separate 1101 01:02:05,970 --> 01:02:10,170 device that they give the walkers that receives the RFID 1102 01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:15,870 ID signal then converts that to Bluetooth. And then, you know 1103 01:02:15,900 --> 01:02:18,780 that text message I think, still got 1104 01:02:18,780 --> 01:02:23,760 to be in this pill. Besides the RFID. circuit, there has to be 1105 01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,420 obviously a meme or something that that takes the temperature 1106 01:02:27,420 --> 01:02:28,620 of the person internally. 1107 01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,520 Yeah, well, that's Yeah. 1108 01:02:32,670 --> 01:02:36,960 So there's a small thermometer, and an RFID. And the RFID sends 1109 01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,540 out a signal when it's when it's inducted, which is the way it 1110 01:02:39,540 --> 01:02:42,720 works, right? You send it and then it when as well as 1111 01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,360 inducted, it's active and it takes a look at the temperature 1112 01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,420 gauge and then sends a message out what the temperature gauge 1113 01:02:48,420 --> 01:02:49,050 told it. 1114 01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:52,650 And I think it also could do humidity, or you know, whatever 1115 01:02:52,650 --> 01:02:52,800 as 1116 01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:56,190 humidity, it can't do humidity because you're inside the with 1117 01:02:56,190 --> 01:03:00,750 some temperature and because it's in a liquid. So it's not 1118 01:03:00,750 --> 01:03:02,670 gonna work. You know, it's got to be just temperature, 1119 01:03:02,700 --> 01:03:05,280 but it's true. And this company, of course, one of their biggest 1120 01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:06,390 clients is the government. 1121 01:03:08,340 --> 01:03:10,620 Go figure. Go figure. 1122 01:03:12,180 --> 01:03:14,190 Now this is all just to protect us more. 1123 01:03:14,220 --> 01:03:17,670 Yes, of course. It's just so. So terror, terror free. 1124 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,600 It so we had to but we still haven't come up with the window. 1125 01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:25,920 Yeah. The fascia board. Yeah. Oh, we need it. So anyway, I'm 1126 01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:31,770 reading through the messages on the various I've been blogging 1127 01:03:31,770 --> 01:03:35,730 stuff about Obama on the divorce.org/blog site, because 1128 01:03:35,730 --> 01:03:39,390 it gets all these people all worked up. Yeah. And somebody 1129 01:03:39,390 --> 01:03:42,540 mentioned brings audiences what you're saying, Yeah, brings them 1130 01:03:42,540 --> 01:03:45,540 in. And they usually debate each other and call me a jerk or 1131 01:03:45,540 --> 01:03:45,930 something because 1132 01:03:45,930 --> 01:03:48,750 i It's all pageviews John, it's all pageviews 1133 01:03:49,410 --> 01:03:52,410 guy says, in Europe, it's a foregone conclusion that Obama's 1134 01:03:52,410 --> 01:03:54,750 gonna win, they've already made this decision. All the Europeans 1135 01:03:54,780 --> 01:03:58,170 just take it as a as a given. Is this right? Or is this guy just 1136 01:03:58,170 --> 01:03:58,650 full of crap? 1137 01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:00,810 No, I would say that that's what that's the writing on the wall. 1138 01:04:00,810 --> 01:04:04,380 He also Obama, of course, is now doing his his big European tour. 1139 01:04:04,620 --> 01:04:08,400 And he had scheduled himself in front of the, in front of the 1140 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:12,330 gate in Berlin, where of course, famously, John F. Kennedy said, 1141 01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:13,980 each being in Berliner, and 1142 01:04:14,460 --> 01:04:17,490 Reagan says a donut, if I'm not mistaken. But anyway, go ahead. 1143 01:04:18,510 --> 01:04:24,360 And Reagan said, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall. 1144 01:04:25,229 --> 01:04:28,049 So what is Obama gonna say? I think all the good lines have 1145 01:04:28,049 --> 01:04:29,279 been taken. Well, the point 1146 01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:34,890 is, is that Angela Merkel, the the prime minister said, Well, I 1147 01:04:34,890 --> 01:04:37,170 don't think that's such a good idea. You know, I don't want you 1148 01:04:37,170 --> 01:04:40,620 to do any speeches in that spot, because you're not the president 1149 01:04:40,620 --> 01:04:45,420 yet. But because he's on this tour, and you know, this is his 1150 01:04:45,420 --> 01:04:47,340 big push. It's pretty obvious that 1151 01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:50,730 you're going to give the speech from there or did Merkel talking 1152 01:04:50,730 --> 01:04:51,030 about it? 1153 01:04:51,420 --> 01:04:53,520 No, it's not happening there. It's talking it's happening 1154 01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:55,740 somewhere else. And she literally said because she 1155 01:04:55,740 --> 01:05:00,360 didn't want to seem in because the he's not President yet. I 1156 01:05:01,500 --> 01:05:06,870 think she's right. I think Merkel's not a dummy. No. So, 1157 01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:10,020 yeah, she probably is right. Well, of course, I'm sure you 1158 01:05:10,020 --> 01:05:14,400 know, somebody somebody called her. Hey, you know, 1159 01:05:15,060 --> 01:05:18,360 this is a hey, hey, Angela, baby. This may not might not be 1160 01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:22,230 such a good idea. Let's think about this one. Yeah. Who do you 1161 01:05:22,230 --> 01:05:27,960 think what is the other guy when? It doesn't matter? Obama's 1162 01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:31,920 from easy he's reptilian man. He's easy in the same league as 1163 01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:34,740 McCain. It's all from the same same stuff. Just look what he's 1164 01:05:34,740 --> 01:05:35,070 doing. Yeah, 1165 01:05:35,070 --> 01:05:37,770 no, that's the what Ron Paul thing if this guy was talking to 1166 01:05:37,770 --> 01:05:40,560 you yesterday said the same thing. You know, it's just what 1167 01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,410 difference does it make? You're gonna like this. There's neither 1168 01:05:43,410 --> 01:05:44,220 one of them are gonna be. 1169 01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,210 He's, he's member of the Council of Foreign Relations. You know, 1170 01:05:48,210 --> 01:05:50,550 everyone's related to that organisation one way or the 1171 01:05:50,550 --> 01:05:56,100 other. And look, he's now he's he's backpedalling, on pulling 1172 01:05:56,100 --> 01:06:00,450 on Iraq. He's, he's, he voted for the face of 1173 01:06:00,450 --> 01:06:04,710 Vysa, that Pfizer thing makes no sense to me. I mean, why would 1174 01:06:04,710 --> 01:06:06,750 he do that? I mean, that that was the biggest, I think that 1175 01:06:06,750 --> 01:06:07,530 was a blunder. 1176 01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:10,830 Because he has to because he's, you know, 1177 01:06:11,670 --> 01:06:14,040 that's what it looks like, it looks like it's where somebody 1178 01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,290 called him up and said, you know, we know you're running and 1179 01:06:16,290 --> 01:06:18,360 everything is probably not gonna look that good, but you have to 1180 01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:19,950 vote for it. So here's cake. 1181 01:06:19,950 --> 01:06:22,230 Now, here's the sequence of events. Oh, I'm not going to 1182 01:06:22,230 --> 01:06:24,990 take public money, because instead of the 82 million I can 1183 01:06:24,990 --> 01:06:28,620 get, I need about 500 million. Then he looks around, he's gonna 1184 01:06:28,650 --> 01:06:32,940 shit. What am I gonna get $500 million from? Oh, I know. Big 1185 01:06:32,940 --> 01:06:35,490 companies like, AT and T. 1186 01:06:37,860 --> 01:06:40,500 Yeah, well, this obviously, you know, although they will they'll 1187 01:06:40,500 --> 01:06:43,830 bleed it into the system. So you don't know. It's necessarily 1188 01:06:43,830 --> 01:06:47,970 from big companies. Anyway, so much for campaign finance, I 1189 01:06:47,970 --> 01:06:50,070 always thought that was never going to be the idea of 1190 01:06:50,070 --> 01:06:53,940 reforming campaign finance, was never going to fly in a million 1191 01:06:53,940 --> 01:06:56,370 years. And my feeling was just because the newspapers would 1192 01:06:56,370 --> 01:06:59,130 always be against it. And they would end up, you know, if it 1193 01:06:59,130 --> 01:07:01,620 ever actually got to the point where it was more than just kind 1194 01:07:01,620 --> 01:07:05,130 of idle chat. They'd start finding ways that it wasn't 1195 01:07:05,130 --> 01:07:08,310 going to work. I mean, because they get the money. Where's the 1196 01:07:08,310 --> 01:07:11,160 money end up going? He goes to the media? Yeah, it 1197 01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:14,850 goes to a lot of local spots, radio and television and lots of 1198 01:07:14,850 --> 01:07:20,610 cable. You know, national. It's 500 million. I'm sure 400 1199 01:07:20,610 --> 01:07:22,860 million is going to media. Absolutely. I don't I don't know 1200 01:07:22,860 --> 01:07:24,450 how they do that with newspapers, they actually 1201 01:07:24,450 --> 01:07:25,710 advertise in newspapers. 1202 01:07:25,860 --> 01:07:28,740 Yeah, there's advertising is not as much. But there's enough. 1203 01:07:28,770 --> 01:07:31,770 And there's all the call out research. And it's all you know, 1204 01:07:31,770 --> 01:07:35,760 a lot of a lot of marketing money going into phone systems. 1205 01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,930 Because of course, I got on the Ron Paul list on my cell phone, 1206 01:07:40,470 --> 01:07:43,050 I got entered into their system, because there's no other reason 1207 01:07:43,050 --> 01:07:46,050 for them for anyone to call me any telemarketer whatsoever. 1208 01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:51,720 Because I don't exist on my company phone. Right? So I got 1209 01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,180 on his list, and it's all automated, you know, calls you 1210 01:07:54,180 --> 01:07:57,030 up and, you know, talks to you and tells you stuff that you 1211 01:07:57,030 --> 01:08:00,000 should know, and you can press one or just say yes. I mean, 1212 01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:04,080 that's I'm sure that's not inexpensive to set that up. 1213 01:08:04,650 --> 01:08:07,650 No, that's expensive. And ATT does that 1214 01:08:07,650 --> 01:08:08,280 kind of stuff? 1215 01:08:09,450 --> 01:08:16,530 Yeah, right. There you go back to a TNT. So, ya know, the whole 1216 01:08:16,530 --> 01:08:19,290 thing is corrupt. But anyway, so this guy says, you know, that 1217 01:08:19,290 --> 01:08:21,990 the Europeans have got deserved as far as they're concerned, is 1218 01:08:21,990 --> 01:08:25,740 already discounted, you know that Obama is going to win. And 1219 01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:29,700 so everything's playing along those lines. You know, I'm not, 1220 01:08:30,270 --> 01:08:34,470 I'm not convinced buying it. No, I'm not convincing. I'll tell 1221 01:08:34,470 --> 01:08:38,160 you why. Because McCain is a late starter, he did the same 1222 01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:45,570 thing and his main election run for the for the nomination. He, 1223 01:08:45,570 --> 01:08:48,240 you know, was he's a laggard, and then he does all his work at 1224 01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,930 the end work when it counts. And we still don't know who Obama's 1225 01:08:51,930 --> 01:08:54,630 gonna pick for the vice president, he could watch that, 1226 01:08:55,140 --> 01:08:58,860 you know, pick Jesse Jackson or something for all we know, he 1227 01:08:58,860 --> 01:09:01,110 could screw that up. And then we don't know who McCain is going 1228 01:09:01,110 --> 01:09:04,020 to pick for the vice president. And that I think a lot is going 1229 01:09:04,020 --> 01:09:07,140 to hinge on that because people are more, you know, in the, you 1230 01:09:07,140 --> 01:09:09,870 know, maybe in the 50s Nobody cared who the Vice President 1231 01:09:09,870 --> 01:09:15,180 was, but nowadays they do. Yeah. Especially with these guys, who 1232 01:09:15,180 --> 01:09:20,220 are both, you know, you know, targets as nowadays, I mean, 1233 01:09:20,220 --> 01:09:23,130 targets of terrorists. And if I do some good video game out, 1234 01:09:23,130 --> 01:09:26,610 that's creepy games, trying to kill the president or something 1235 01:09:26,610 --> 01:09:29,460 like that. It's horrible. I don't know it was on the news. 1236 01:09:29,460 --> 01:09:31,680 Somebody was send me a link on Twitter about it. And I was 1237 01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:35,520 looking at it go God, who is this guy nuts. He's some I'll do 1238 01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:39,720 some research and get it on the it's some terrorists game. But 1239 01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,180 anyway, the point is, is that you the Vice President's more 1240 01:09:42,180 --> 01:09:47,160 important than ever, and so the who these two guys pick is going 1241 01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:47,880 to be a big deal. 1242 01:09:48,870 --> 01:09:53,070 Yeah, well, absolutely. And you hit the nail on the head, the 1243 01:09:53,070 --> 01:09:56,010 Vice President is more important than ever let you know. The Vice 1244 01:09:56,010 --> 01:09:58,230 President we have now is running the show as far as I'm 1245 01:09:58,230 --> 01:09:58,770 concerned. 1246 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,770 Have you I'm sure Ron Paul agrees. 1247 01:10:02,820 --> 01:10:05,430 Go ahead, man. You know, I've figured this out, John, I know 1248 01:10:05,430 --> 01:10:08,400 you totally agree. I know you have your tinfoil hat on as we 1249 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,550 speak with your Faraday cage wallet. But you just want it you 1250 01:10:11,550 --> 01:10:15,120 want to have some kind of non kookiness so that you are taken 1251 01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:19,260 seriously by people who read market watch or whatever. But 1252 01:10:19,260 --> 01:10:22,890 that's why you pull back man you and then you call me. You're 1253 01:10:22,890 --> 01:10:29,280 like crackpot. I'm not a crackpot man. I'm just an open 1254 01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:33,090 free thinker. That's what they're called free thinker. 1255 01:10:33,690 --> 01:10:36,450 We say You know, he's not a crackpot. He is the one who is 1256 01:10:36,450 --> 01:10:41,430 going to be presenting run. A big counter event whether 1257 01:10:41,460 --> 01:10:46,140 we're using Ron Paul's a crackpot gathering. No, that's 1258 01:10:46,140 --> 01:10:50,220 the core base, John. It's not crackpots Stop, stop. 1259 01:10:51,690 --> 01:10:53,400 Come on. I mean, how can I top that, 1260 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,970 Ron, Paul's not a crime. We know that you have to you have to 1261 01:10:56,970 --> 01:10:58,620 admit it. He's not a crackpot. 1262 01:10:59,490 --> 01:11:04,170 Like the guy. Yeah. No, he's like He, you know, in fact, he'd 1263 01:11:04,170 --> 01:11:06,510 be probably a more interesting president, these other guys 1264 01:11:06,510 --> 01:11:10,080 except for the fact that he doesn't play ball. What do you 1265 01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,900 mean by that? You know, he's not playing ball. I mean, these 1266 01:11:12,900 --> 01:11:15,870 other guys are gonna play ball with, you know, the economic 1267 01:11:15,870 --> 01:11:19,050 hitmen types and all these other people that, you know, there's a 1268 01:11:19,050 --> 01:11:23,760 system in place that has to be, you know, kept alive. Yes, Trent 1269 01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,910 tortoise, you know, this one world government kind of thing. 1270 01:11:27,780 --> 01:11:31,320 Oh, dude, economic order. The New World Order 1271 01:11:31,440 --> 01:11:35,550 I spoke to I had an interview for my Dutch show, I spoke with 1272 01:11:35,550 --> 01:11:41,880 the State Secretary for finance, finances, because there's a 1273 01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:44,460 whole bunch of problems. And he's actually he's a, he's a guy 1274 01:11:44,460 --> 01:11:47,340 that comes from the IT world. He was brought in about a year ago. 1275 01:11:47,340 --> 01:11:50,790 He's now he's the Secretary of State for finance. And his 1276 01:11:50,850 --> 01:11:54,150 number one goal is to fix all the computer systems, which is 1277 01:11:54,150 --> 01:11:57,270 interesting. And this guy, I saw a video of given a lecture. And 1278 01:11:57,270 --> 01:11:59,730 he's like, yeah, it's all messed up, particularly the tax system. 1279 01:11:59,730 --> 01:12:01,650 You know, we've got all these systems that don't talk to each 1280 01:12:01,650 --> 01:12:04,530 other properly. And it's just a mismanaged project is what he's 1281 01:12:04,530 --> 01:12:07,140 saying, which is really open and honest. So I get I get to talk 1282 01:12:07,140 --> 01:12:10,740 to this guy. And I said, No, let me ask you a question. So when 1283 01:12:10,740 --> 01:12:14,070 the Netherlands gives me like, 200 million euros to 1284 01:12:14,070 --> 01:12:16,950 Afghanistan, how does that work? Can you send a big check? Or do 1285 01:12:16,950 --> 01:12:20,070 you just get on your, your bank account and you use your your 1286 01:12:20,070 --> 01:12:24,420 card, and you type in your PIN code? And you know, obviously, 1287 01:12:24,420 --> 01:12:27,330 I'm bathing him, but man, he fell for it? And he's like, no, 1288 01:12:27,330 --> 01:12:30,420 no, no, we just put a computer entry is it Oh, was it like 1289 01:12:30,420 --> 01:12:33,450 that? Did not like actually no real money to No, no, we just 1290 01:12:33,450 --> 01:12:36,180 put in a credit entry for Afghanistan. Oh, so that means 1291 01:12:36,180 --> 01:12:40,410 that they have to pay it back. Yeah. With interest. Yeah. And 1292 01:12:40,410 --> 01:12:42,720 he just kept going. Yeah. And then and then he actually tried 1293 01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,090 to say, well, you know, what, Fort Knox, they do move some 1294 01:12:45,090 --> 01:12:50,850 gold around. I'm like, What are you talking about, man? And it 1295 01:12:50,850 --> 01:12:54,240 was it was like, This guy is building the systems for the you 1296 01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:58,020 know, the that is exactly what Confessions of an economic 1297 01:12:58,020 --> 01:13:00,810 hitman is all about, you know, okay, well, we'll loan you 1298 01:13:00,810 --> 01:13:03,510 money, but we're not actually giving you any money. We're just 1299 01:13:03,510 --> 01:13:06,630 putting an entry into a into a database, which means you have 1300 01:13:06,630 --> 01:13:09,570 to now start paying US interest that would be real money, by the 1301 01:13:09,570 --> 01:13:13,410 way. And then we transfer all this you know, all these bits 1302 01:13:13,410 --> 01:13:18,510 and bytes to companies like Burger King and Pizza Hut to 1303 01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:23,310 come in and, and build stuff. Hey, 1304 01:13:24,570 --> 01:13:27,210 you know, the problem that I have is these companies like 1305 01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:30,000 Pizza Hut and Burger King and all and all the big box 1306 01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:32,040 companies as they call them. Now. That's another term that's 1307 01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:37,080 somehow a big box that I get so eventually get into into Merriam 1308 01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:39,990 Webster, because they've added a whole bunch of new weird word 1309 01:13:39,990 --> 01:13:42,900 jails a couple of dudes a couple. 1310 01:13:43,140 --> 01:13:45,630 I heard you. I heard you talk about one that was really dumb. 1311 01:13:45,690 --> 01:13:49,320 What was the one on I heard on? Tech five, tech five? Yeah, 1312 01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:52,110 I went through a list of them. There's a couple of really dumb 1313 01:13:52,110 --> 01:13:55,200 ones. But anyway, so big box is like one of these terms that 1314 01:13:55,230 --> 01:14:00,180 probably has to go in. And so, you know, we've got this deli up 1315 01:14:00,180 --> 01:14:03,330 in Port Angeles, Washington. And so my wife is looking into 1316 01:14:03,330 --> 01:14:07,830 locations for future ones and things like that. She stumbled 1317 01:14:07,830 --> 01:14:11,640 on to the methodology for how you know, when you go to these 1318 01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:14,820 new malls, these new strip these kind of mini malls, but they're 1319 01:14:14,820 --> 01:14:17,670 not strip malls in the old sense, which, in the old 1320 01:14:17,670 --> 01:14:20,430 American sense of a strip mall used to have this like running 1321 01:14:20,430 --> 01:14:23,130 bunch of weird little stores. And now you have these big kind 1322 01:14:23,130 --> 01:14:26,550 of Plaza stores. And there's always a Home Depot and a 1323 01:14:26,550 --> 01:14:30,600 staples, and it's always the same stores and then they're all 1324 01:14:30,630 --> 01:14:36,030 big stores. Yeah. And there's never any little guys in there. 1325 01:14:36,030 --> 01:14:38,910 Rarely there is sometimes there might be a small takari If 1326 01:14:38,910 --> 01:14:41,640 you're lucky, but it's usually part of a chain or two guys are 1327 01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:44,610 connected or whatever. And it turns out that these places, the 1328 01:14:44,610 --> 01:14:48,990 way they operate to date they operate to keep small 1329 01:14:48,990 --> 01:14:54,300 competitive stores out. And they do that by requiring you pay one 1330 01:14:54,300 --> 01:14:58,920 year's rent in advance freely. Yeah, and there's some other 1331 01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:02,190 schemes that they have make it very difficult to get into those 1332 01:15:02,190 --> 01:15:03,780 places because you said essentially can't. 1333 01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:07,950 Who is they is that the, the developers, developers? Yeah, 1334 01:15:08,250 --> 01:15:11,940 the developers want these, you know, they want these, you know, 1335 01:15:11,940 --> 01:15:15,780 these Keystone Cornerstone anchor stores, I guess what 1336 01:15:15,780 --> 01:15:18,600 they're mostly called. And they want these big names. And they 1337 01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:21,450 don't want any small timers. And these big names don't want the 1338 01:15:21,450 --> 01:15:23,880 small timers around either. Because they don't want you 1339 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:26,340 know, the Home Depot doesn't want some guy selling something 1340 01:15:26,370 --> 01:15:29,340 that competes with them in any way. And so they don't even want 1341 01:15:29,340 --> 01:15:34,800 one a story within 10 miles of them. And you know, and so. So 1342 01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:36,870 they, these things are essentially set up. So when you 1343 01:15:36,870 --> 01:15:39,510 go in, and you can go anywhere around the country, driving 1344 01:15:39,510 --> 01:15:41,790 around, you go to this, and I always like to rent cars, I'm 1345 01:15:41,790 --> 01:15:44,760 from California. So when I travel, I'm always, I never stay 1346 01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:48,270 in the hotel, I'm out, driving around, and you see, and you 1347 01:15:48,270 --> 01:15:52,320 say, and you can go and you just go, this is exactly the same as 1348 01:15:52,350 --> 01:15:55,650 every other city. In the country, when you run past these 1349 01:15:55,650 --> 01:15:58,140 little segments of the town where you have these big box 1350 01:15:58,140 --> 01:16:01,500 stores, and there's no variation. They're all cookie 1351 01:16:01,500 --> 01:16:04,860 cutter, and then they all have the same crappy stores. And this 1352 01:16:04,860 --> 01:16:07,770 you know, they're, it's just horrible. I mean, there's no, 1353 01:16:07,890 --> 01:16:09,960 nothing interesting. And you wonder why these big guys are 1354 01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:12,180 taken over everything. I mean, you the little guys have nothing 1355 01:16:12,180 --> 01:16:15,270 but trouble competing. Unless they become big guy, 1356 01:16:15,300 --> 01:16:17,910 I have to say that was one of the nicest things about being in 1357 01:16:17,910 --> 01:16:24,000 the south of France is going to an actual grocery store that had 1358 01:16:24,030 --> 01:16:27,690 oh my god, it had like, fruit and vegetable that was not 1359 01:16:27,690 --> 01:16:30,480 genetically modified, it actually looked like a tomato, 1360 01:16:30,510 --> 01:16:34,560 it had some bumps on it, you know, and pears that weren't 1361 01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:38,700 exactly pear shaped, it was so nice just to be in a in a 1362 01:16:38,700 --> 01:16:43,410 smaller non box like environment. With with real food 1363 01:16:43,410 --> 01:16:47,040 real stuff. I hate to say that hate to say it but the French 1364 01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:47,940 are onto something 1365 01:16:48,270 --> 01:16:50,850 the French have always been on to this and and think about, you 1366 01:16:50,850 --> 01:16:54,300 know, you can go to me generally speaking and finding a grocery 1367 01:16:54,300 --> 01:16:56,130 store is pretty hard because they you know, they almost 1368 01:16:56,130 --> 01:17:00,060 encourage a tomato store next to a meat store. And you know, they 1369 01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:03,630 have all these little operations that all you have to if you're 1370 01:17:03,630 --> 01:17:06,510 going to go shopping, you generally have to go from place 1371 01:17:06,510 --> 01:17:09,450 to place to place to place to place as opposed to one place, 1372 01:17:09,450 --> 01:17:11,940 it has everything but when they do have a grocery store, it 1373 01:17:11,940 --> 01:17:15,630 tends to be exactly like you say, a fantastic variety of 1374 01:17:15,630 --> 01:17:19,830 extremely high quality products that are all, you know, there's 1375 01:17:19,830 --> 01:17:23,010 none of this, you know, garbage that were sold. And you go to 1376 01:17:23,010 --> 01:17:25,350 these places are places where you have the tomatoes that have 1377 01:17:25,350 --> 01:17:29,370 been gassed. So they turn red, you know, there's a Oxitec I 1378 01:17:29,370 --> 01:17:32,670 forgot ethylene or some gas you hit the tomato with when it's 1379 01:17:32,700 --> 01:17:35,340 the pickled green. So they're never going to develop any 1380 01:17:35,340 --> 01:17:38,190 flavour. And then you run into a processing plant where they're 1381 01:17:38,220 --> 01:17:41,730 gassed. And so then the gas turns the tomato this kind of 1382 01:17:41,730 --> 01:17:45,540 weird, pinkish red tomato is never going to taste like a 1383 01:17:45,540 --> 01:17:48,120 tomato, which is the joke and we sell 1384 01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:52,920 public you know, the the Food Administration, whatever it is, 1385 01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:56,190 whoever's in charge of food they now have, it's now in law Dude, 1386 01:17:56,370 --> 01:17:59,340 this is part of the Codex Alimentarius. There's only four 1387 01:17:59,340 --> 01:18:02,730 types of tomatoes, that it'll be permissible now, because of this 1388 01:18:02,730 --> 01:18:04,710 whole tomatoes scare. Right? The member we talked 1389 01:18:04,710 --> 01:18:07,830 turns out to be bogus, which makes me wonder, you know, this 1390 01:18:07,830 --> 01:18:11,850 is it's a setup. I mean, it sounds like a marketing ploy for 1391 01:18:11,850 --> 01:18:14,580 this code. This is alimentaria thing which we obviously haven't 1392 01:18:14,580 --> 01:18:17,670 gotten on to in this country yet. But if if that's the case, 1393 01:18:17,670 --> 01:18:21,870 because the number of heirloom tomatoes is in the 1000s and the 1394 01:18:21,870 --> 01:18:25,320 fact that they wouldn't want these to be grown, as opposed to 1395 01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:29,190 these commercial crappy tomatoes that are crummy is ridiculous. 1396 01:18:29,190 --> 01:18:31,830 But it could be all as part of a scam this whole tomatoes scare 1397 01:18:31,830 --> 01:18:33,900 because it turns out the tomatoes weren't the problem. 1398 01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:35,730 And I'm reminded Oh, tell me 1399 01:18:36,390 --> 01:18:38,790 I don't know about the tomato is not being the problem. You mean, 1400 01:18:38,820 --> 01:18:40,890 this was the poop water story, wasn't it? 1401 01:18:41,100 --> 01:18:43,950 Yeah, well, it turns out to maybe it wasn't a tomato so that 1402 01:18:44,070 --> 01:18:46,890 might be the jalapeno peppers. And then they thought it might 1403 01:18:46,890 --> 01:18:49,080 be the cilantro. Now they don't know what it 1404 01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:51,780 is. I haven't heard it I haven't read any of this I didn't know 1405 01:18:51,780 --> 01:18:53,100 though. Yeah, no, it's backed off to 1406 01:18:53,100 --> 01:18:56,070 him that tomatoes the tomatoes were paying me now you missed 1407 01:18:56,070 --> 01:19:00,750 like three stages of this crap. You know? I mean, they've been 1408 01:19:00,780 --> 01:19:03,480 you know changing the story on and off now they don't now 1409 01:19:03,480 --> 01:19:04,200 they're baffled 1410 01:19:06,060 --> 01:19:10,170 Okay, so meanwhile I should look this up and I'll find this there 1411 01:19:10,170 --> 01:19:14,010 was a it was like a like a official release like was real 1412 01:19:14,010 --> 01:19:14,940 news on 1413 01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:22,440 our site, look for it. Anyway, keep going. Well, anyway, so 1414 01:19:22,440 --> 01:19:25,440 I'm reminded of when I was I used to be a columnist at the 1415 01:19:25,440 --> 01:19:27,990 San Francisco Examiner, I used to read these op eds. And there 1416 01:19:27,990 --> 01:19:31,530 was just one thing that happened this was in the mid 80s. And it 1417 01:19:31,530 --> 01:19:34,350 always baffled me and I wrote about it and no, there was never 1418 01:19:34,350 --> 01:19:38,070 got anybody paid any attention to any of the of the in fact, 1419 01:19:38,070 --> 01:19:41,730 the whole idea out of the blue and this of course, one of the 1420 01:19:41,730 --> 01:19:44,520 reasons I like to Confessions of an economic hitman because this 1421 01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:48,840 story kind of was reminiscent out of the blue sometime in the 1422 01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:52,410 mid 1980s. And people can maybe try to find this. They stopped 1423 01:19:52,410 --> 01:19:57,750 shipments of grapes from Chile froze them all because they 1424 01:19:57,750 --> 01:20:02,820 found two grapes If that were injected with cyanide or 1425 01:20:02,820 --> 01:20:07,080 strychnine or something and they had pictures of the grapes with 1426 01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:09,990 pinholes in and where the needle had gone in and poisoned the 1427 01:20:09,990 --> 01:20:11,700 grapes and they thought there was some sort of because this 1428 01:20:11,700 --> 01:20:14,610 was during that era where people were stealing Tylenol and and 1429 01:20:14,610 --> 01:20:18,240 putting poison Tylenol back on and so they had every you know, 1430 01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:21,180 all of a sudden Tylenol was all recalled and you know, was a big 1431 01:20:21,180 --> 01:20:23,700 scandal and people were you know blackmailers supposedly were 1432 01:20:23,700 --> 01:20:26,760 behind all this. I think there was more to it than that. But 1433 01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:29,850 this thing with the grapes was ridiculous. Because grapes come 1434 01:20:29,850 --> 01:20:33,480 in by the truckloads, hundreds of, you know, millions of 1435 01:20:33,540 --> 01:20:38,700 individual grapes piling in from Chile. How do they find these 1436 01:20:38,700 --> 01:20:42,990 two grapes with a hole in them? That they could actually show a 1437 01:20:42,990 --> 01:20:46,830 picture of that were poisoned, you know, in some attempt to 1438 01:20:46,830 --> 01:20:49,980 kill the American public? How do they how does this even 1439 01:20:49,980 --> 01:20:51,150 possible? Yeah, 1440 01:20:51,930 --> 01:20:53,670 no, I hear you. I hear Yeah. So 1441 01:20:53,820 --> 01:20:56,760 so they stopped the grape shipments and then there was a 1442 01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:59,760 bunch of negotiations and blah, blah, blah. And I figured they 1443 01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:02,640 just gouging somebody over this. And then the next thing you 1444 01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:04,470 know, the grapes are bad coming in. And that was the end of it, 1445 01:21:04,470 --> 01:21:07,200 and the storage just died. And nobody ever asked a question to 1446 01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:11,310 set me as to what bullshit is this? Because there's no way 1447 01:21:11,850 --> 01:21:15,210 that you owe the what did I know what inspectors do for a living 1448 01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:17,670 they're not looking at. This is just here to 1449 01:21:18,810 --> 01:21:21,690 Geneva and international standard for tomatoes has been 1450 01:21:21,690 --> 01:21:24,780 adopted ending about seven years of intense debates between 1451 01:21:24,780 --> 01:21:29,280 countries on what qualifies as a proper tomato. According to the 1452 01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:33,060 new standard tomatoes may come in one of four varieties round, 1453 01:21:33,090 --> 01:21:37,200 ribbed, oblong or elongated or cherry tomatoes and cocktail 1454 01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:41,130 tomatoes. They must be whole clean, free from foreign smell 1455 01:21:41,130 --> 01:21:44,730 free of pests and fresh in appearance. In the case of 1456 01:21:44,730 --> 01:21:47,760 trusses of tomatoes, the stalks must be fresh, healthy, clean 1457 01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,070 and free of all leaves and other visible foreign matter. 1458 01:21:50,070 --> 01:21:53,880 According to the so called Codex standard. A commission called 1459 01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:57,180 Codex Alimentarius was created in 1963 by the Food and 1460 01:21:57,180 --> 01:22:00,120 Agricultural Organisation and the World Health Organisation 1461 01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,270 that's not true the world trade organisation to come up with 1462 01:22:03,270 --> 01:22:08,040 food standards with guidelines on food products. Here we go. 1463 01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:11,760 Tom Hyland, who was a senior food standard advisor explained 1464 01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:13,950 that one such international standard was needed for tomatoes 1465 01:22:13,950 --> 01:22:18,330 in order to protect importing countries quote, many developing 1466 01:22:18,330 --> 01:22:21,540 countries in particular, said that they need this standard so 1467 01:22:21,540 --> 01:22:24,330 they ensure that they would get the right quality of products 1468 01:22:24,330 --> 01:22:25,320 that they ordered. 1469 01:22:28,890 --> 01:22:30,600 And I like the way they twist it. Yeah. 1470 01:22:31,470 --> 01:22:35,700 I'm telling you. So that's very interesting that this was July 1471 01:22:35,700 --> 01:22:36,240 4. 1472 01:22:37,500 --> 01:22:41,670 Yeah, there's always a gag in there somewhere. Yeah, right. 1473 01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:47,490 Say we always had you know, my wife and I. 1474 01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:52,410 Years and years ago, there was a and as we are, it's probably our 1475 01:22:52,410 --> 01:22:54,960 last story. I think we're running out of time. But years 1476 01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:59,100 and years ago, there used to be this operation. Just pre Costco 1477 01:22:59,100 --> 01:23:03,150 era. There used to be a couple of big box stores. One was 1478 01:23:03,150 --> 01:23:07,860 called Gemco. And which was which required a, you had to get 1479 01:23:07,860 --> 01:23:12,630 a kind of like a licence, but it was like a membership, which was 1480 01:23:12,630 --> 01:23:15,000 not that easy to be a government employee, supposedly, I think 1481 01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:19,320 was GM, GM, Gemco G government employee e membership company, 1482 01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:22,110 something like that. But the other one that was that was 1483 01:23:22,440 --> 01:23:26,580 hugely successful was a company called White front. And over the 1484 01:23:26,580 --> 01:23:31,650 years, they turned out that white front was run by a mobster 1485 01:23:31,650 --> 01:23:37,110 on witness protection. Okay. And, and we started noticing 1486 01:23:37,110 --> 01:23:41,910 there's always a trend between mobsters, especially guys on 1487 01:23:41,910 --> 01:23:45,510 witness protection, and the naming of their operations. 1488 01:23:45,810 --> 01:23:49,290 White front, you know, it's like, oh, white for now. I get 1489 01:23:49,290 --> 01:23:52,980 it. Yeah. And there was a trucking company recently that 1490 01:23:52,980 --> 01:23:55,440 would have got busted because they were run by another 1491 01:23:55,440 --> 01:24:00,990 mobster. And it was it had the word con, as in convict in the 1492 01:24:00,990 --> 01:24:04,320 name. And so every time we see like, anything that's God's 1493 01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:08,700 consolidated or it was Conway trucking, as a matter of fact, 1494 01:24:08,700 --> 01:24:11,490 something like that. And you know, it's always assumed we 1495 01:24:11,490 --> 01:24:14,580 always think because that is just another gag because these 1496 01:24:14,580 --> 01:24:18,930 guys seem to have a humour. They think it's funny, I think to 1497 01:24:18,930 --> 01:24:22,080 come up with these names that indicate what their what their 1498 01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:25,200 Well, what they're really about. Yeah. Are not necessarily 1499 01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:27,000 crooks, but at least they're getting through their own 1500 01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,520 witness protection or who knows what. I'm always waiting for the 1501 01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:32,160 witness protection, you know, produce company to come out. 1502 01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:37,800 Today, we keep an eye out for that kind of thing. gags 1503 01:24:38,130 --> 01:24:42,570 Interesting. All right. Let me see. What do we do on time? This 1504 01:24:42,570 --> 01:24:44,640 is good. Not even an hour and a half. 1505 01:24:45,780 --> 01:24:48,870 Right? It's just under wacky the call duration is 131. Since you 1506 01:24:48,870 --> 01:24:50,880 were having so much trouble getting this thing started. 1507 01:24:50,970 --> 01:24:51,990 Okay, hold on. 1508 01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:56,700 Let me do my thing here. Oh, why is it not working? Oh shit, of 1509 01:24:56,700 --> 01:24:59,790 course. I was going to be really slick there and get the music 1510 01:24:59,790 --> 01:25:04,650 going. And but of course I neglected to turn on my you 1511 01:25:04,650 --> 01:25:07,560 advice? Yeah, something the equivalent of queuing it up. 1512 01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:11,490 Yeah. There you go. Wow. Now we've got to come up with a name 1513 01:25:11,490 --> 01:25:12,120 for the show. 1514 01:25:13,410 --> 01:25:18,510 Well, let's see we talked about I think, though, you know, the 1515 01:25:18,510 --> 01:25:19,320 fascism, 1516 01:25:20,370 --> 01:25:22,830 fascism. That's a good one. Yeah. Well, how 1517 01:25:22,830 --> 01:25:25,530 about modern fashion fascism today? 1518 01:25:27,180 --> 01:25:29,280 Sounds like the name of a new show we got to put together 1519 01:25:29,310 --> 01:25:29,610 Yeah, it 1520 01:25:29,610 --> 01:25:31,530 sounds like a name of a new Shoreham magazine. 1521 01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:34,170 Hi, everybody. Welcome to fascism today. 1522 01:25:36,690 --> 01:25:39,270 It'd be a good name for a magazine in the 30s. Yeah. 1523 01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:47,250 These days, not so good. No. All right. Are you doing a twit this 1524 01:25:47,250 --> 01:25:47,700 weekend? 1525 01:25:49,050 --> 01:25:49,830 Yeah, I think so. I'm 1526 01:25:49,830 --> 01:25:52,800 not sure. Do it last weekend because I haven't caught up yet. 1527 01:25:53,310 --> 01:25:53,820 Yeah, I 1528 01:25:53,820 --> 01:25:57,900 did was a good show. It was okay. I mean, it was it wasn't a 1529 01:25:57,900 --> 01:26:02,070 long show. It was a pretty good show, I think was I think we got 1530 01:26:02,070 --> 01:26:04,380 onto some topics because it wasn't a lot of people one of 1531 01:26:04,380 --> 01:26:06,870 the problems you have with that shows that we you know, you have 1532 01:26:06,870 --> 01:26:11,400 a lot when you have too many guests. It's it becomes 1533 01:26:11,820 --> 01:26:16,740 burdensome. Leo spends a lot of time too much time working on 1534 01:26:16,740 --> 01:26:19,860 trying to you know, keeping the balls in the air. Because he's 1535 01:26:19,860 --> 01:26:24,180 he's always working together. So probably for Max total is 1536 01:26:24,180 --> 01:26:26,520 probably the best and you only had three. Okay. 1537 01:26:27,270 --> 01:26:33,300 Fascism, fascism, fascism, fascism. Fascism. Today is 1538 01:26:34,440 --> 01:26:38,190 coming to you from the curry manor in the United Kingdom, 1539 01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:42,600 where climate change has not yet sat in its crappy weather. I'm 1540 01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:43,260 Adam curry, 1541 01:26:43,799 --> 01:26:47,099 and we're here with a regular foggy summer in Northern 1542 01:26:47,099 --> 01:26:48,509 California. I'm John C.
