1
00:00:03,870 --> 00:00:07,590
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak
coming to you from both sides of

2
00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:12,330
Gitmo nation. This is no agenda
for Sunday, February 22 2009.

3
00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:17,430
This is no agenda from Gitmo
nation east in southwest London

4
00:00:17,490 --> 00:00:21,690
safe and secure in the crackpot
command center. I'm Adam curry.

5
00:00:23,190 --> 00:00:24,420
And I'm John C. Dvorak.

6
00:00:24,930 --> 00:00:26,610
Oh, give me a little more than
that.

7
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:28,590
Well, that's it.

8
00:00:28,649 --> 00:00:30,329
But aren't you don't you have a
location?

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,380
I am in northern Silicon Valley
in the Git foundation

10
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:42,060
you're supposed to fill it up,
man.

11
00:00:43,380 --> 00:00:50,970
Give me a rehearsal on this
crazy. Still sounds like I don't

12
00:00:50,970 --> 00:00:54,000
know. What is this? Is this the
cue? I don't know. Let me just

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,020
trust that man.

14
00:00:55,020 --> 00:00:57,630
After I say I'm Adam curry thing
you're supposed to save from

15
00:00:57,660 --> 00:00:58,710
Northern. Yeah, no, I

16
00:00:58,710 --> 00:01:02,490
got that part. I may hit it, but
I didn't hit you know, whatever.

17
00:01:02,550 --> 00:01:04,740
Okay, well, I get it right.
Let's go and do it again.

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,530
No, no, no, I'm good. I'm good.
I'm good. Well, we'll do better

19
00:01:07,530 --> 00:01:10,680
next week. It'll be a surprise
and love to change it a little

20
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:16,680
bit every single time. So you
are in the absolute northwestern

21
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:19,710
corner of Gitmo nation today.
Yeah, this

22
00:01:19,709 --> 00:01:22,919
is northern northern get more
nation Silicon Valley. This is

23
00:01:22,919 --> 00:01:25,859
actually Silicon Valley,
northeast Microsoft country.

24
00:01:25,890 --> 00:01:29,580
Oh, that's true. It is Microsoft
country. Yeah. Up in the divorce

25
00:01:29,610 --> 00:01:30,660
compound.

26
00:01:31,589 --> 00:01:39,899
Exactly. Well, John, what's been
happening with you? Right, we're

27
00:01:39,899 --> 00:01:44,129
just up you're freezing to
death. And yeah, much going on.

28
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:47,549
We had beautiful, absolutely
stunning weather yesterday, here

29
00:01:47,549 --> 00:01:50,999
and on the continent, and my
aircraft is due for its annual

30
00:01:50,999 --> 00:01:54,839
in March. So I decided to fly it
over to Antwerp. And it was

31
00:01:54,839 --> 00:01:57,719
great. I'm flown in four months.
So it was really it was fun.

32
00:01:59,219 --> 00:02:03,809
Moved to Antwerp. Oh, Antwerp is
where my my flight instructor

33
00:02:03,809 --> 00:02:05,399
and mechanic has his hangar.

34
00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:09,150
Did you leave the plane behind?
Yeah, well, so

35
00:02:09,150 --> 00:02:14,160
what you do is I fly over, and
then pick up either my

36
00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:18,750
instructor slash mechanic and
he'll fly back or some if he's

37
00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:21,300
busy, then they'll have some
other pilot and then they'll fly

38
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:24,210
back with me. And then I'll be
back in the UK. Then he takes

39
00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:29,340
the plane back. You did that?
Yeah. Yeah. So I flew back and

40
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:34,800
forth. It was beautiful. 5500
feet all the way. It was just

41
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,740
fantastic. It was really, really
nice. No, I don't pre announce

42
00:02:37,740 --> 00:02:40,380
any more when I'm going flying
for some obvious reasons.

43
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,130
You're paranoid freak. So

44
00:02:46,350 --> 00:02:47,580
I love you too, honey.

45
00:02:50,190 --> 00:02:53,880
But the you thought the file
flight plans it wouldn't take

46
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,690
that much to figure out what's
going on? Somebody wanted to?

47
00:02:58,380 --> 00:03:01,800
Well, yeah, if you want zapped
me out of the sky, but you know,

48
00:03:01,980 --> 00:03:04,920
it gives a little less
preparation time for some actual

49
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,420
sabotage.

50
00:03:07,109 --> 00:03:11,399
So if you're, if you're flying
at 5500 feet, which is a really

51
00:03:11,399 --> 00:03:17,039
low, you know, relatively low
altitude or your is your plane

52
00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:21,479
have it has plastic windows, I'm
sure but are they clear enough

53
00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:24,149
to take photos out of Is it a
good plane to take pictures from

54
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,790
it's actually an excellent plane
to take pictures out of because

55
00:03:26,790 --> 00:03:30,930
it's a high wing? So all all the
windows all round you have

56
00:03:30,930 --> 00:03:33,690
complete clear view down to the
ground. It's a fantastic plane

57
00:03:33,690 --> 00:03:34,410
for that. Yeah.

58
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:40,440
Is it but is it cloudy? Or you
know, kind of scratched window?

59
00:03:41,790 --> 00:03:43,770
Pretty scratched and it is that
was like

60
00:03:43,829 --> 00:03:48,749
I know in fact, it's not No it's
a nice aircraft John and it has

61
00:03:48,749 --> 00:03:52,229
great windows and it's we can
even if you want I can even take

62
00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:55,349
a door off you can just sit
there and take pictures and we

63
00:03:55,349 --> 00:03:58,439
can fly around. Because again,
it's a high wing and you can

64
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:02,249
tilt it to kind of a continuous
tilt angle. It's perfect for

65
00:04:02,249 --> 00:04:05,219
that stuff. Okay, but if you
really want to take good

66
00:04:05,219 --> 00:04:10,169
pictures a guy I know at the
airport has I think a Seneca

67
00:04:10,169 --> 00:04:13,739
twin Seneca with a hole in the
back and a whole mount system so

68
00:04:13,739 --> 00:04:17,639
you can just literally you know,
either kneel or sit or crouch or

69
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:20,609
lay down if you want and stick
your lens out through the hole

70
00:04:20,609 --> 00:04:25,049
on the bottom. Which is the best
way that they do it

71
00:04:25,049 --> 00:04:27,419
professionally. Aerial
Photography. That's yeah, yeah.

72
00:04:27,419 --> 00:04:27,749
No, I'd

73
00:04:27,750 --> 00:04:29,160
love to do that. Yeah, there's

74
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,610
another guy there who does
imaging they do high I mean

75
00:04:32,610 --> 00:04:38,280
super high resolution imaging of
high voltage wires. But I'm but

76
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:43,410
I'm talking it's super
resolution. Yeah. And they get

77
00:04:43,410 --> 00:04:46,140
every single point of this all
these data points essentially

78
00:04:46,140 --> 00:04:50,280
you see a wireframe of what's on
the ground of these high tension

79
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:53,820
wires, but it's it's all geo
mapping. It's pretty cool stuff.

80
00:04:54,540 --> 00:04:57,810
Got good toys out there. Good
toys.

81
00:04:58,230 --> 00:05:00,870
Yeah, like you do that because
it's Have you taken a lot of

82
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:04,140
I've taken a lot of aerial shots
now and again, but not really

83
00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:07,110
set up, you know, not in a plane
that's actually set up for it.

84
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:14,700
Well, oh, man, that headset it's
I'm trying to adjust it. I mean

85
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:18,060
it would it would it? Would it
be hard to get a duplicate setup

86
00:05:18,060 --> 00:05:20,760
in Seattle and you're gonna wind
up living there eventually full

87
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,890
time anyway, you might as well
don't set up the studio

88
00:05:22,890 --> 00:05:23,490
properly.

89
00:05:23,969 --> 00:05:27,989
Yeah, no, I'm going to do that.
Okay, good. The problem is today

90
00:05:28,019 --> 00:05:32,999
with one of the problems today
is that the this machine had a

91
00:05:32,999 --> 00:05:37,769
couple of those Seagate drives.
Yeah, blew up. And so the

92
00:05:37,769 --> 00:05:41,129
machine had to be rebuilt and
one of the soundboard is shot

93
00:05:41,699 --> 00:05:46,109
for some reason, and needs new
drivers or some so instead of

94
00:05:46,109 --> 00:05:49,829
the machines not ready ready for
to be thrown up. So I can

95
00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:53,520
well, you sound significantly
shittier than normal. Yeah,

96
00:05:53,550 --> 00:05:57,570
well, I'm normally I'm running
through a $400 mic and a

97
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,590
compressor and a real gear. This
is going through a $25 thing.

98
00:06:03,750 --> 00:06:07,920
Noticeably, so yeah. So a couple
of big stories that we didn't

99
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,800
talk about on Thursday, which,
you know, because we did focus a

100
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,870
lot on US politics and Obama.
And I think we feel we've

101
00:06:15,870 --> 00:06:18,840
neglected some other parts of
the world, although this does

102
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:22,770
tie into the states as well. A
big story that is there's now

103
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,970
action being undertaken online,
which I consider to be

104
00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:31,590
completely senseless. This
blackout for New Zealand if

105
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:32,580
you've been following that.

106
00:06:33,060 --> 00:06:35,940
Yeah, apparently the New
Zealanders have they're gonna

107
00:06:35,940 --> 00:06:39,660
put some law in place that's
censorship thing of some sort.

108
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:47,130
And so to to protest this, the
meaningless use of black icons

109
00:06:47,460 --> 00:06:50,130
on Twitter, among others.
Apparently, you're supposed to

110
00:06:50,130 --> 00:06:55,050
do it everywhere is been
encouraged. This reminds me if

111
00:06:55,050 --> 00:06:58,560
you remember some years ago when
the use of the black websites

112
00:06:58,590 --> 00:07:02,040
Yeah, oh, this this has happened
many times in the past 2025

113
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,840
years. It accomplishes nothing.
Yeah, it makes it hard to read.

114
00:07:08,940 --> 00:07:12,900
To write with the blank
websites, but these little black

115
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:16,620
icons i i somebody said you're
gonna put a black icon up and

116
00:07:17,250 --> 00:07:18,990
answer by No, I'll write a
column. Do you think that's

117
00:07:18,990 --> 00:07:21,120
maybe a better idea? Exactly.

118
00:07:21,180 --> 00:07:26,850
Oh, thank you. Thank you. This
is this is a part of this new

119
00:07:26,850 --> 00:07:32,880
activism. You know, it's like we
feel so satisfied. If we've done

120
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,030
something hey, man, at least I
did some. No, I made my icon

121
00:07:36,030 --> 00:07:38,400
black. That'll really change the
world.

122
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,920
It's the it's the online
equivalent of an armband. Yeah.

123
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:48,930
Yeah, that's a that's your
right. A black armband. We used

124
00:07:48,930 --> 00:07:52,410
to have those a lot to back in
the 70s. That was a kind of a

125
00:07:52,410 --> 00:07:53,460
regular occurrence.

126
00:07:53,820 --> 00:07:59,790
Right? That morphed into yellow
ribbons. And around the old

127
00:07:59,820 --> 00:08:02,760
starting with the old oak tree,
so you have these ribbons around

128
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:08,730
trees. And then they little, the
little dinky the mini ribbons

129
00:08:08,730 --> 00:08:14,280
showed up on the as a as a pin,
a lapel pin, right? Yeah. And

130
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,650
then that morphed and then of
course, we got the AIDS ribbon.

131
00:08:16,650 --> 00:08:20,130
Yep, yeah, that worked into the
AIDS ribbon. And then that

132
00:08:20,130 --> 00:08:27,090
morphed into the cheap rubber
band bracelet the bracelets

133
00:08:27,090 --> 00:08:32,940
right which of course contain
high RFID tracking units.

134
00:08:34,620 --> 00:08:40,950
Were were they that expensive?
And and then the that started

135
00:08:40,950 --> 00:08:44,340
with the yellow one, of course,
yellow was operative, and maybe

136
00:08:44,340 --> 00:08:47,880
we should have yellow icons
instead of black. That would

137
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,680
have made more sense in the in
the fractal.

138
00:08:49,860 --> 00:08:52,860
But let's let's just let's just
take a tally here. Have we

139
00:08:52,860 --> 00:08:55,980
stopped aids? Have we stopped
war? Have we stopped

140
00:08:57,450 --> 00:08:58,170
homelessness?

141
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,380
That's another good one. No, of
course not. I agree. John,

142
00:09:01,410 --> 00:09:02,820
please write a great column.

143
00:09:04,770 --> 00:09:09,360
Yeah, writing and bitching in
MIG public scene is more

144
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:15,090
interesting than passive
activity like black icons. I

145
00:09:15,090 --> 00:09:17,940
mean, it's nice. I guess it's
you know, shows solidarity. So

146
00:09:17,940 --> 00:09:21,930
what? Anyway, what's in the
news?

147
00:09:22,380 --> 00:09:24,690
What's in the news? Oh, man,
there's so much in the news.

148
00:09:24,690 --> 00:09:28,020
Well, actually, the I was just
going to tack on to that and say

149
00:09:28,020 --> 00:09:31,470
that it's kind of amazing
because with every day, I see

150
00:09:31,470 --> 00:09:34,740
how the internet is actually
functioning in fantastic ways.

151
00:09:35,340 --> 00:09:40,140
And how the the established
elite totally underestimate the

152
00:09:40,140 --> 00:09:43,200
power of the internet and you
couldn't see this happening now

153
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,590
with Obama. You know, it's it's
just, he's even a part of it

154
00:09:46,590 --> 00:09:49,320
with this whole calling out
thing of mayors and governors

155
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:54,210
I'm gonna call you out is the
internet is basically one big

156
00:09:54,210 --> 00:09:58,290
calling out machine. So when you
use the internet, and you

157
00:09:58,290 --> 00:10:01,200
promise a whole bunch of things,
but ticularly when you promise

158
00:10:01,260 --> 00:10:05,340
internet related stuff, like,
I'll be twittering, which of

159
00:10:05,340 --> 00:10:08,940
course stopped. I think the last
time he tweeted, Obama twittered

160
00:10:08,940 --> 00:10:11,130
was that after he got elected,

161
00:10:11,670 --> 00:10:14,370
is that right? He'd been even as
people aren't twittering for him

162
00:10:14,370 --> 00:10:15,870
because he was never really
twittering.

163
00:10:17,220 --> 00:10:23,520
What is He? Is he the real
Obama? It's just Barack Obama,

164
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,670
isn't it? I think so. Yeah, I
follow it. And I haven't seen

165
00:10:26,670 --> 00:10:30,150
anything. So let me just see
what, what pops up here in my

166
00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:38,430
Tweet Deck. Here at Barack
Obama. Let's see what the last

167
00:10:38,430 --> 00:10:47,040
post was. No, no, the last post
was January 19. There you go.

168
00:10:47,970 --> 00:10:49,590
I'm looking at it now asking you
to

169
00:10:49,590 --> 00:10:51,390
honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

170
00:10:54,330 --> 00:10:56,190
So that's a while ago.

171
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,220
Now if you do Joe Biden, it's
even funnier. Joe Biden

172
00:10:59,220 --> 00:11:01,560
literally hasn't twittered in a
year or his people.

173
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,719
Joe Biden doesn't even know what
Twitter is?

174
00:11:03,900 --> 00:11:06,990
Well, I'll tell you, you know, I
actually pulled the soundbite

175
00:11:07,290 --> 00:11:12,090
Robert Gibbs, who is the press
secretary, started off. And I

176
00:11:12,090 --> 00:11:15,540
watch these religiously, because
it's just great entertainment.

177
00:11:15,540 --> 00:11:21,030
People, please go to C span. C
span.org. It's the entertainment

178
00:11:21,030 --> 00:11:24,300
is there ready for you? And
listen to how we started off the

179
00:11:25,170 --> 00:11:29,280
the Friday morning press
briefing is what it's called

180
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:29,910
press briefing.

181
00:11:29,940 --> 00:11:37,740
It has been amusing this week to
read the many press releases and

182
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:45,000
Twitter comments on those that
found the stimulus on C span

183
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,220
during the vote. Interesting,
huh?

184
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:51,390
So they're, they're listening.

185
00:11:51,930 --> 00:11:53,910
Yeah, they're monitoring
Twitter, obviously, for some

186
00:11:53,910 --> 00:11:55,530
reason. Well,

187
00:11:55,860 --> 00:11:58,770
this, hopefully for the same
reason I'm monitoring Twitter,

188
00:11:58,770 --> 00:12:01,410
as it says, This is how he find
out what people are interested

189
00:12:01,410 --> 00:12:03,300
in. Well, at least

190
00:12:03,450 --> 00:12:08,880
a sub segment. I mean, let's be
real here. I mean, the average

191
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,860
Twitter user is not the average
American. Yeah. And we're

192
00:12:13,860 --> 00:12:17,460
actually here in Port Angeles,
we have this is where the

193
00:12:17,460 --> 00:12:19,890
average American is, it's one of
the great tests or one of the

194
00:12:19,890 --> 00:12:22,380
good reasons to be here. It's
one of the great test markets

195
00:12:22,890 --> 00:12:26,640
of, of the United States. And in
fact, the Pacific Northwest is

196
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,750
generally this is a test market.
Seattle, is notoriously used by

197
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:35,130
Hollywood as a test market for
films. The films are successful

198
00:12:35,130 --> 00:12:38,940
in Seattle, they should be in
testing, they should be

199
00:12:38,940 --> 00:12:41,820
successful throughout the
country. But this area here,

200
00:12:42,510 --> 00:12:45,180
although I've run into errors
that are also the same within

201
00:12:45,180 --> 00:12:47,160
the Midwest, I've seen these
towns, you can spot them a mile

202
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,070
away, because they test weird
stuff, you'll find like here,

203
00:12:50,070 --> 00:12:54,930
they had a McDonald's that had
for a while they had a self

204
00:12:54,930 --> 00:13:00,150
service counter for adding stuff
to the hamburger. So you could

205
00:13:00,150 --> 00:13:03,270
buy like a 99 cent cheeseburger,
and you could load it up with

206
00:13:03,270 --> 00:13:05,640
tomatoes and lettuce, and you
could make it into whatever you

207
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,630
want it. And that kind of in the
course they dead got swapped out

208
00:13:09,630 --> 00:13:14,370
for something another test. And
so it's an interesting place.

209
00:13:14,370 --> 00:13:17,520
And I can, I can assure you that
the number of Twitter users up

210
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:18,660
here is about eight.

211
00:13:20,940 --> 00:13:22,170
But they all follow you.

212
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,590
I'm sure they do. Because I
mean, a couple of I know they

213
00:13:25,590 --> 00:13:27,750
do, because they're always
talking about I went to the deli

214
00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:29,460
today they keep keep tabs on,

215
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,940
you know, you bring up an
interesting point. And this was

216
00:13:32,940 --> 00:13:36,840
accentuated even more we've been
emailing back and forth over the

217
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,790
past couple of days about the
New York Post cartoon racism,

218
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:49,680
controversy. And I, and I think
I even said, Oh, wow, man, I

219
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:52,020
don't know if we want to talk
about this. Because it's such a

220
00:13:52,020 --> 00:13:56,010
it's such a loaded topic, but it
all of a sudden, it dawned on me

221
00:13:56,820 --> 00:14:01,680
that, and it's really sad to
have to realize this, that the

222
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:08,010
people do not understand who
makes up the law, and who makes

223
00:14:08,790 --> 00:14:14,010
things happen. Because when you
look at a cartoon, and you

224
00:14:14,010 --> 00:14:18,090
associate the chimpanzee being
shot with Obama and consider

225
00:14:18,090 --> 00:14:22,620
that racist, that means that
deep inside of you, you really

226
00:14:22,620 --> 00:14:25,890
believe that Obama made wrote
the stimulus package, which of

227
00:14:25,890 --> 00:14:29,100
course he did not this is what
your your government does what

228
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:32,700
Congress in the Senate does. And
they are of course, the chimps

229
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:36,510
who should have been shot dead.
And then just to see the

230
00:14:36,510 --> 00:14:41,280
protest, and people in their own
mind justly outraged because

231
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,240
they really make that
association proves that people

232
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,610
have it because when I saw it,
I'm like, pants kind of funny.

233
00:14:47,610 --> 00:14:50,310
Yeah, of course. Yeah. And I'm
the way when I see the dead

234
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,060
chimpanzee, I'm thinking yeah,
like some shitty ass lawyer

235
00:14:54,060 --> 00:14:56,250
who's been writing this thing
for three months while they were

236
00:14:56,250 --> 00:14:59,490
preparing for it, you know, and
all these other dipshits copying

237
00:14:59,490 --> 00:15:01,650
stuff and I just Have a whole
different vision, I don't see

238
00:15:01,650 --> 00:15:05,190
Obama writing the stimulus
package at all.

239
00:15:05,580 --> 00:15:07,650
I mean, there's a couple of
interesting things about this

240
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,880
monkey cartoon one. Of course it
had, it was a call back to the

241
00:15:12,450 --> 00:15:17,970
killing of a chimp, by the
police. That was apparently the

242
00:15:17,970 --> 00:15:23,070
chimp was attacking somebody. It
was a Pet Pet champ. And so they

243
00:15:23,070 --> 00:15:26,730
shot it dead. And so that was
the call back, although the make

244
00:15:26,730 --> 00:15:31,080
the call back work as a cartoon.
I think I looked at this cartoon

245
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,850
a couple of times. And I was
thinking, you know, if they

246
00:15:32,850 --> 00:15:36,360
didn't want to do anything about
it, it was just a standalone

247
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,240
without the callback to the dead
Chimp, they would have just had

248
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,270
a Bozo the Clown with two
bullets in him. She'd been the

249
00:15:42,270 --> 00:15:46,200
same same gay basically right to
make. But to make this gag work

250
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,410
better or to have made it work
better, the chimp should have

251
00:15:49,410 --> 00:15:52,980
had a diaper on him. Because the
chimp that was shot dead had a

252
00:15:52,980 --> 00:15:55,950
diaper. So the cartoon has made
a blunder there. That should

253
00:15:55,950 --> 00:15:59,190
kind of ruin the callback. Now.
The other thing is, in fact,

254
00:15:59,190 --> 00:16:04,380
Eric pointed this out, he says
we he says this is ridiculous.

255
00:16:04,620 --> 00:16:08,850
Distraction. There's all this,
you know, controversy going on

256
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,070
about the stimulus package and
some other stuff. And now it's

257
00:16:11,070 --> 00:16:14,910
about the cartoon is like the
Danish Muslim cartoons. Yes.

258
00:16:15,570 --> 00:16:18,630
Everybody's all up in arms about
and, and now. It's just another,

259
00:16:18,630 --> 00:16:21,330
you know, example of somebody
coming along. Obviously, he's

260
00:16:21,330 --> 00:16:24,300
been listening to our show long
enough to start coming up with

261
00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:25,380
this kind of thing.

262
00:16:26,610 --> 00:16:29,730
He's come over to the dark side,
which is that

263
00:16:29,730 --> 00:16:32,760
this is just a it was maybe it
was even put in there on

264
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,450
purpose.

265
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,900
Well, thank you. You know, who
owns the New York Post? Right?

266
00:16:37,350 --> 00:16:37,560
Yeah,

267
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:41,129
Murdoch. Yeah. And so I mean,
put on purpose. And that

268
00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:45,869
definitely takes heat off of the
the real political discussion

269
00:16:45,869 --> 00:16:50,249
about the stimulus package, or
the bailout of the bankers and

270
00:16:50,249 --> 00:16:52,259
all these other things that we
should be talking about, rather

271
00:16:52,259 --> 00:16:55,319
than talking about an idiotic
cartoon. And so Gregory,

272
00:16:55,319 --> 00:16:59,579
Mohammed, one of our listeners,
who is always providing me with

273
00:16:59,579 --> 00:17:03,479
some cool stuff, he sends me the
update from John Legend page,

274
00:17:03,479 --> 00:17:06,359
which is an open letter to the
New York Post let John Legend Of

275
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:11,159
course, being a another
musician, you know, has to get

276
00:17:11,159 --> 00:17:13,949
involved, you know, wish
musicians would just,

277
00:17:14,459 --> 00:17:18,599
you know, there is this the
John, which John Legend is this,

278
00:17:18,719 --> 00:17:19,169
who is the

279
00:17:19,170 --> 00:17:22,470
guy plays the piano, and he's
really, you know, he became a,

280
00:17:22,710 --> 00:17:29,250
he's like a lounge act as
extremely popular. And Amy and I

281
00:17:29,460 --> 00:17:33,570
say, you know, about a year or
two ago, and he's like, huge.

282
00:17:34,050 --> 00:17:36,540
Anyway, it goes on and on with
his long, I'm not gonna read the

283
00:17:36,540 --> 00:17:39,330
whole thing. It goes on forever.
He just goes, but it's just

284
00:17:39,330 --> 00:17:42,540
like, scathing, you should print
an apology in your prep and

285
00:17:42,540 --> 00:17:46,500
dodged the cartoon was ignorant,
offensive and racist that should

286
00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:48,660
not have been printed. I'm
aware. It could be just your

287
00:17:48,660 --> 00:17:52,350
racism and violence, violence,
violence. I truly believe we're

288
00:17:52,350 --> 00:17:55,440
better than this filth, as we
attempt to rise above our

289
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,230
difficult paths and look toward
a better future. We don't need

290
00:17:58,230 --> 00:18:01,620
the New York Post or resurrect
the images of Jim Crow. Yeah,

291
00:18:01,620 --> 00:18:01,770
but

292
00:18:01,770 --> 00:18:06,000
this is, this is offensive,
because it hadn't. If anything,

293
00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:09,060
the New York Post should
apologize for just not being all

294
00:18:09,060 --> 00:18:11,940
that great. You know, it was a
stretch. It wasn't well

295
00:18:11,940 --> 00:18:17,850
executed. But I don't believe it
was. It was meant as a racist

296
00:18:17,850 --> 00:18:18,780
cartoon.

297
00:18:19,650 --> 00:18:22,260
Well, probably wasn't. I mean,
why would it be? I mean, you

298
00:18:22,260 --> 00:18:23,460
wouldn't do run a cartoon.

299
00:18:23,940 --> 00:18:27,150
Crazy, of course, right? Stupid.
But you

300
00:18:27,150 --> 00:18:29,880
know, you're gonna start to see
this kind of response to just

301
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,760
about anything, especially as
you know, what's going to happen

302
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,550
because I don't think Obama is
going to you know, and he's so

303
00:18:35,550 --> 00:18:39,150
far he's put lobbyists MEC, all
these rules, things that he was

304
00:18:39,150 --> 00:18:42,060
going to do to for change, and
hope he hasn't done any of it.

305
00:18:42,420 --> 00:18:44,760
You know, because he's so
preoccupied with this bill. He's

306
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,000
got to load up his cabinet and
there's nobody to pick from he

307
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,700
won't bring the professor's in
like we were expecting. He

308
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:53,610
weren't weren't bringing in the
non Washington insiders. He

309
00:18:53,610 --> 00:18:56,610
wasn't he didn't have I don't
know why. I mean, it's but you

310
00:18:56,610 --> 00:18:59,520
know, you got Rama Manuel who's
like a politician, so they're

311
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,370
only going to put their own
buddies in. And so we haven't

312
00:19:02,370 --> 00:19:04,470
seen anything and he's got
lobbyists and he's hasn't done

313
00:19:04,470 --> 00:19:07,170
this, he hasn't let these bills
sit. So the public can, you

314
00:19:07,170 --> 00:19:10,740
know, comment on them. So as
this goes on, because there's a

315
00:19:10,740 --> 00:19:12,960
couple of websites that are
keeping track of all this, you

316
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:18,360
know, 450 promises that as this
goes on, and people start to

317
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:21,240
get, you know, the start to turn
and a lot of people who are big

318
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,040
Obama supporters have already
you know, these, especially

319
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,480
these carping liberals who don't
like anything anyway, once they

320
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,060
start to turn on him and be
critical, it's going to be

321
00:19:30,060 --> 00:19:32,190
really interesting to see the
reaction to it because it's

322
00:19:32,190 --> 00:19:34,920
going to be like, you know,
anything, everything's going to

323
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,910
be seen as offensive and racist.
And that's the only reason is

324
00:19:38,910 --> 00:19:40,080
because you're a racist.

325
00:19:40,110 --> 00:19:44,850
It's gonna be exactly exactly
the same as Windows Mac fanboys

326
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:49,920
that's what it's gonna be. Yeah,
it'd be bad. That would be very

327
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:54,210
bad, but but that seems to be
the human psyche. And again, it

328
00:19:54,210 --> 00:19:57,780
just it just flabbergasted me
that people if you if you see

329
00:19:57,780 --> 00:20:00,690
this cartoon is racist, then you
don't understand how it works.

330
00:20:00,690 --> 00:20:03,420
You don't understand what the
President does and what Congress

331
00:20:03,420 --> 00:20:08,250
does and what the Senate does.
Are people not being educated?

332
00:20:09,090 --> 00:20:13,110
Well, hello, there's that for
sure. And everybody, you know,

333
00:20:13,110 --> 00:20:16,620
still thinks the President does
everything. And I mean, you

334
00:20:16,620 --> 00:20:19,500
know, the economy caved. I mean,
the Congress has the purse, the

335
00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:22,020
holder of the purse strings are
the ones who do the IGA.

336
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,920
That's supposed to be but of
course, they're not entirely

337
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,620
anymore because they don't
really control the

338
00:20:28,620 --> 00:20:33,390
money. While you're taking one
step further and saying that the

339
00:20:33,690 --> 00:20:38,130
Fed Yeah, really, but the Fed
is, you know, pretty much, you

340
00:20:38,130 --> 00:20:40,320
know, if they tell you to print
we have to Congress tells the

341
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,990
Fed to print more money, they're
not going to say no,

342
00:20:43,020 --> 00:20:45,930
no, no, the when the Fed wants
to print more money, they don't

343
00:20:45,930 --> 00:20:49,230
ask Congress anymore. That's the
problem. Well,

344
00:20:50,490 --> 00:20:53,760
maybe we'll get I'm sure
somebody will come in and tell

345
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,400
us that that's not necessarily
true. I think they have the you

346
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,740
have to have some sort of
permission. I'm not sure

347
00:20:59,279 --> 00:21:01,829
what since this is going to
happen. Anyway. John, let's just

348
00:21:01,829 --> 00:21:06,479
run down a few more things that
are not change a couple things

349
00:21:06,479 --> 00:21:14,939
from this week. Number one,
right. Obama administration's

350
00:21:14,939 --> 00:21:20,159
from AP is trying to kill the
email case, this was the case

351
00:21:20,159 --> 00:21:23,459
that is ongoing from the
previous administration, trying

352
00:21:23,459 --> 00:21:25,859
to recover the millions of
missing White House emails,

353
00:21:25,889 --> 00:21:28,859
apparently, the Obama
administration is doing its best

354
00:21:28,859 --> 00:21:36,629
to block this investigation. And
there's an AP story which I

355
00:21:36,629 --> 00:21:42,839
presumed to be true. So I'd say
that's a that kind of goes

356
00:21:42,839 --> 00:21:44,639
against the transparency thing.

357
00:21:45,540 --> 00:21:48,270
Ya know, the transparency thing,
I haven't seen any evidence of

358
00:21:48,270 --> 00:21:48,660
that?

359
00:21:49,470 --> 00:21:52,470
Well, I've been
looking@recovery.org. Waiting.

360
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,560
You know, I still have yet to go
to that site,

361
00:21:55,590 --> 00:21:58,560
or you shouldn't I'm
sorry.gov not.org. Yeah, I mean,

362
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,600
yeah. So here's the thing they
have, you should go to it. Now,

363
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,810
Matt. So they have a timeline.
And this is what I like about

364
00:22:03,810 --> 00:22:08,340
it, it tells you on February
19 2009, federal agencies to

365
00:22:08,340 --> 00:22:12,420
begin reporting their formula
block grant award, so Okay, so

366
00:22:12,450 --> 00:22:15,270
and they have to report and
there's this whole big, you

367
00:22:15,270 --> 00:22:18,540
know, PDF file, you can read
about the directives handed out

368
00:22:18,540 --> 00:22:21,300
by or zag Of course, the guy we
talked about on the last show,

369
00:22:22,140 --> 00:22:26,250
but they don't actually report
until May 8, the third federal

370
00:22:26,250 --> 00:22:29,490
agencies to make performance
plans publicly available and

371
00:22:29,490 --> 00:22:31,950
federal agencies to begin
reporting on their allocations

372
00:22:31,950 --> 00:22:34,260
for entitlement programs. So
we're going to go through almost

373
00:22:34,260 --> 00:22:43,950
three months of work that will
not be posted. Yeah, well,

374
00:22:43,980 --> 00:22:48,480
that's lane. If the federal
agencies are reporting as of

375
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,930
three days ago, how come we
don't see that

376
00:22:53,580 --> 00:22:56,160
you're asking the wrong guy, by
the way, the wrong guy? Yeah.

377
00:22:56,850 --> 00:23:01,440
The recovery.org I'm looking at
it and it's really.gov.gov I

378
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,480
mean, I got it yeah.gov And it's
got you know, they gotta get

379
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,830
another movie of Obama. But this
still free still.

380
00:23:11,310 --> 00:23:14,580
I saw it's funny, isn't it?
Yeah, it's not a very flattering

381
00:23:14,850 --> 00:23:17,160
Bill and I guess they probably
couldn't figure out how to like

382
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,190
change the frame. So you know
the least maybe you should be

383
00:23:20,190 --> 00:23:22,560
smiling or something it just
looks it looks like a big

384
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,660
brother and it's just gonna be a
good actually I'm gonna capture

385
00:23:24,660 --> 00:23:28,380
this and then Photoshop it
because this is a great picture

386
00:23:28,380 --> 00:23:31,650
to use if you want to have you
know for big brothers watching

387
00:23:31,650 --> 00:23:34,830
you. So by the way, I want to
mention something because you

388
00:23:34,830 --> 00:23:37,080
mentioned or zag before we go
off because I know I have

389
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,020
something bad or as I go ahead.
Okay, so I you told me about

390
00:23:40,020 --> 00:23:43,320
orange egg and check out his
bio. So I went and found his bio

391
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,650
I guess it's like his you know,
what he got how he got the job.

392
00:23:47,070 --> 00:23:50,730
So I'm dying because it's got
it's like his, you know, it's

393
00:23:50,730 --> 00:23:54,330
got his basic bone to feed he's
but it has essentially a

394
00:23:54,330 --> 00:23:58,980
documentation of every little
article and scrap of paper he's

395
00:23:58,980 --> 00:24:03,120
ever written. Like, you know,
the thoughts on this is you

396
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:07,770
know, what is it the attribution
scrap of paper you know, found

397
00:24:07,770 --> 00:24:09,750
in garbage it this is this

398
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,620
guy's Nancy Drew novel series.

399
00:24:14,370 --> 00:24:18,300
Jelly is like a diary. It's just
like, if I had, you know, if I

400
00:24:18,300 --> 00:24:22,710
put my bio together, and I, and
I wrote down every thing that I

401
00:24:22,710 --> 00:24:26,220
had ever published, which is
essentially what he's done over

402
00:24:26,220 --> 00:24:29,010
like, a long period of time,
including just short letters to

403
00:24:29,010 --> 00:24:33,240
the editor. I mean, it would be
it would be a book so I guess

404
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,820
what he does, so I guess what he
did was, which is an interesting

405
00:24:35,820 --> 00:24:38,220
idea for anybody that wants to
get a job in this particular

406
00:24:38,220 --> 00:24:41,790
administration. You know, over
document everything you've ever

407
00:24:41,790 --> 00:24:45,090
done. So it's this huge tome of
you know, what you what you did

408
00:24:45,090 --> 00:24:48,480
in high school, you know, the
fact that you are the you know,

409
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,410
the the cheerleader, you know,
the boosters, you know, you were

410
00:24:52,410 --> 00:24:57,060
in the PTA, you know, every
little thing, and then you drop

411
00:24:57,060 --> 00:25:01,110
this on on them as a big funk.
They probably Oh,

412
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,340
that's impressive. Oh, yes, we
need to hire him. You're in?

413
00:25:05,580 --> 00:25:09,120
Yeah, just, I was just always
just, it was just it's an eye

414
00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:09,750
roller.

415
00:25:10,110 --> 00:25:13,680
Well, so I'm reading through
some of these documents because

416
00:25:13,860 --> 00:25:18,780
or zag is also responsible for
the entire not just the $75

417
00:25:18,780 --> 00:25:24,960
billion housing re thingamajig,
but also for the almost $800

418
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,380
billion stimulus package. So I'm
reading through some of the

419
00:25:28,380 --> 00:25:29,100
documents

420
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,610
before you do that, what remind
people who or zag is in the

421
00:25:32,610 --> 00:25:35,310
past, because I think new a new
listener may not know what we're

422
00:25:35,310 --> 00:25:36,450
talking about. Okay. Well,

423
00:25:38,910 --> 00:25:41,280
the only thing I remember, of
course, was the funny bit that

424
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:41,700
he

425
00:25:41,790 --> 00:25:44,040
right, that's all we need to
know, we need to know is orange.

426
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,370
Orange, is the head of the
budget. Yeah.

427
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,580
And he's the guy that doles out
the money, essentially, he has

428
00:25:50,610 --> 00:25:54,240
oversight over all this money.
And his one of his previous

429
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,830
gigs, was as a consultant to the
Central Bank of Iceland, which

430
00:25:58,830 --> 00:26:02,640
is the whole country is now
bankrupt. So you know, of all

431
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,730
the things to put on that
enormously long CV, which I

432
00:26:05,730 --> 00:26:08,100
think I have it in the show
notes for this week. Maybe it

433
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:10,680
was there last week, but I'm
trying to put as much in as

434
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:16,020
possible now all these links. So
I'm searching around and I see

435
00:26:16,020 --> 00:26:18,450
his directive, which is very
detailed on this. There's

436
00:26:18,450 --> 00:26:22,020
basically the transparency
directive on the reporting. And

437
00:26:22,020 --> 00:26:25,710
it's very detailed, John, it
goes into the spreadsheet, how

438
00:26:25,710 --> 00:26:29,160
many characters can be in each
cell what each cell is supposed

439
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,820
to contain? I mean, it's a real
government document, and you

440
00:26:32,820 --> 00:26:36,420
feel good about that. And along
with these documents, I find

441
00:26:36,450 --> 00:26:43,410
there was a question from
Charles Grassley, who is he's a

442
00:26:43,410 --> 00:26:48,690
Senator for pup, I don't
remember right now. So he's

443
00:26:48,690 --> 00:26:53,250
asking some tough questions in
this document about accounting,

444
00:26:53,520 --> 00:27:00,390
and it's being answered by or
zag and copied on. On this note

445
00:27:00,390 --> 00:27:05,850
on this. On this correspondence,
is Counsel to the President

446
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,980
Gregory B. Craig. Have you heard
of this gentleman?

447
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:17,160
No. Well, let me tell you, he's
so he's the Obamas. Lawyer. Yes,

448
00:27:17,190 --> 00:27:20,550
he is Obama's lawyer. I'm
reading from Wikipedia, which of

449
00:27:20,550 --> 00:27:23,640
course, is highly unreliable,
but usually a good starting

450
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,510
point. past clients. Craig has
represented numerous high

451
00:27:27,510 --> 00:27:31,320
profile clients in 1981. He
represented John Hinckley Jr,

452
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,820
who tried to assassinate Ronald
Reagan. He represented Senator

453
00:27:35,820 --> 00:27:40,200
Ted Kennedy during the 1991 Rape
trial of William Kennedy Smith.

454
00:27:40,710 --> 00:27:44,010
He represented the Cuban father
of alien Gonzalez during the

455
00:27:44,010 --> 00:27:47,730
2000 child custody dispute with
the US Marshals remember that

456
00:27:47,730 --> 00:27:51,510
one. Craig represented United
Nations Secretary General Kofi

457
00:27:51,540 --> 00:27:54,300
anon during the Volker
Commission's investigation into

458
00:27:54,300 --> 00:27:57,180
the scandals involving the oil
for food program.

459
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,580
This is unbelievable sky he

460
00:27:59,580 --> 00:28:00,390
represents

461
00:28:00,420 --> 00:28:02,070
who's wrong side.

462
00:28:03,930 --> 00:28:07,200
But of course, he was personal.
He also represented Bill Clinton

463
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,310
during the Monica Lewinsky
trials. It's just unbelievable.

464
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,100
And this is the this is the
president's lawyer Counsel to

465
00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:14,880
the President.

466
00:28:15,090 --> 00:28:18,840
Why would he pick this? Well,
obviously well, well, hello.

467
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,630
Ted Kennedy, not in jail. Kofi
Annan still at the UN, I mean,

468
00:28:24,630 --> 00:28:27,540
sounds that was Kofi Annan, who
didn't his son steal millions of

469
00:28:27,540 --> 00:28:28,080
dollars.

470
00:28:28,470 --> 00:28:32,670
It was a complete pleat fiasco.
It was just corrupt. David, just

471
00:28:32,670 --> 00:28:33,420
the worst thing ever.

472
00:28:33,810 --> 00:28:37,320
Craig earlier represented the
Panamanian government, during

473
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:44,310
the trial of Manuel Noriega just
goes on and on and on. Wow, it

474
00:28:44,310 --> 00:28:48,690
just goes on. So I'm just like,
wow, that's unreal.

475
00:28:50,610 --> 00:28:53,130
You think just for image sake
alone? You wouldn't have that

476
00:28:53,130 --> 00:28:57,870
guy? Well, it was it's. Yeah,
well, not. Yeah. Well, I guess

477
00:28:57,870 --> 00:29:00,750
except for you know, 1000s of
Let me see. Let

478
00:29:00,750 --> 00:29:03,870
me see if it even says it in his
wiki entry. Washington based

479
00:29:03,870 --> 00:29:06,630
lawyer. Yeah. Current White
House Counsel. The President

480
00:29:06,630 --> 00:29:10,470
Barack Obama says right at the
top. And John Hinckley, Jr, of

481
00:29:10,470 --> 00:29:13,110
course, was acquitted of the
assassination on Ronald Reagan.

482
00:29:14,250 --> 00:29:15,240
Yeah, but

483
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,440
he wasn't he locked up.

484
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,490
He's also been a foreign policy
adviser to Edward Kennedy and

485
00:29:23,490 --> 00:29:26,610
Madeleine Albright. When she was
Secretary of State. It's just

486
00:29:28,470 --> 00:29:31,560
Yeah, it's a good laundry list.
Well, Obama's not gonna get

487
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,970
himself in any legal trouble.

488
00:29:34,290 --> 00:29:38,640
No, not with those guys on his
team. Something I did realize

489
00:29:38,670 --> 00:29:43,200
which I just caught a actually a
Twitter about someone was

490
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,560
bitching. Now that I'm using
TweetDeck I'll just put in

491
00:29:46,770 --> 00:29:50,100
Gordon Brown Obama and it's
great because you really see

492
00:29:50,100 --> 00:29:54,330
what what a small segment of the
universe admittedly. But now

493
00:29:54,330 --> 00:29:56,370
we've got celebrities coming
onto this thing. You got to

494
00:29:56,370 --> 00:29:58,500
figure that you know, lots of
people are gonna come in and

495
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:00,720
it's kind of like blogging. I
can see it As blogging on your

496
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,030
cell phone, I mean, that's not
the way I use it, but I can see

497
00:30:03,030 --> 00:30:06,180
why people would would gravitate
toward that. And so you get a

498
00:30:06,180 --> 00:30:09,000
lot of interesting comments. So
you know, not just from your

499
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:17,040
Twitter sphere and good post in
boston.com Now there's a lot of

500
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,610
criticism that in the $787
billion stimulus bill there's

501
00:30:20,610 --> 00:30:26,820
not a single dollar for Katrina
victims, not a single dollar

502
00:30:27,210 --> 00:30:30,420
which would would seem like an
obvious place to put some money

503
00:30:30,420 --> 00:30:30,870
into

504
00:30:32,970 --> 00:30:37,050
Yeah, it is interesting. And
doing a lot of work on this show

505
00:30:37,050 --> 00:30:37,710
by the way.

506
00:30:38,940 --> 00:30:43,830
Well, yeah, I am Thank you. Yes,

507
00:30:43,860 --> 00:30:47,160
I was impatient back off a
little if you know what I'm

508
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:47,580
saying.

509
00:30:49,020 --> 00:30:50,910
What are you talking about the
Vortech

510
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,110
just saying you know, it's good
for you.

511
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,920
Well, you remember we talked
about

512
00:30:59,910 --> 00:31:03,180
I think we yeah, here's I think
it's part of our formula you say

513
00:31:03,180 --> 00:31:06,900
really doesn't have an agenda
except for bringing out we do

514
00:31:06,900 --> 00:31:09,870
put we I guess we do have an
agenda to to expose you know,

515
00:31:10,230 --> 00:31:13,170
corruption or not or corruption
or just bad government

516
00:31:13,170 --> 00:31:13,710
essentially

517
00:31:13,740 --> 00:31:16,080
it's to lift the veil of the
matrix John

518
00:31:16,740 --> 00:31:21,360
so that I think one of their
formula or what's evolving in

519
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:26,850
the in the evolving formula? Is
this highlighting one new guy

520
00:31:27,750 --> 00:31:31,500
or one guy per show? One guy
that go look at

521
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,010
Yeah, one guy you will look at
because I'm sure this is Look

522
00:31:35,010 --> 00:31:38,610
they have enough people in that
office now I'm sure that we

523
00:31:38,610 --> 00:31:42,120
could do one guy you know twice
a week and do different guy and

524
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,000
then we always do callbacks to
the various guys because it's I

525
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,250
think it's going to be a
goldmine. This is like gold

526
00:31:47,250 --> 00:31:48,000
gold.

527
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,920
It's total gold everybody.

528
00:31:51,870 --> 00:31:54,870
Okay, well, we need a lawyer hit
on that we need a will Okay,

529
00:31:54,870 --> 00:31:55,410
well, so

530
00:31:55,410 --> 00:31:59,760
the new guy we need a gold
jingle. Gold hit Yeah. Well,

531
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,310
it's got to have a names gotta
it's gotta be like an item name.

532
00:32:02,310 --> 00:32:06,300
You know, it's gonna be like,
yeah, yeah, bad guy of the day.

533
00:32:07,980 --> 00:32:10,410
Something like that. Yeah,
something like that. But you

534
00:32:10,410 --> 00:32:12,930
know, it says such thing as a
same thing or okay.

535
00:32:13,170 --> 00:32:20,700
It's an acapella sting. Bad guy
of the day, okay. So, on

536
00:32:20,700 --> 00:32:24,810
Thursday, when we were actually
doing the show, is when I think

537
00:32:24,810 --> 00:32:27,600
currently is still the number
one video on YouTube. When on

538
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:32,190
CNBC Rick Santelli, just started
yelling and screaming, which was

539
00:32:32,190 --> 00:32:35,850
fantastic. Of course to see it
was it was bad. I mean, look,

540
00:32:35,850 --> 00:32:39,210
I'm a guy who loves making
television. And boy, that was

541
00:32:39,210 --> 00:32:42,150
some good as television and this
Santella he's running with it.

542
00:32:42,150 --> 00:32:45,990
He is so smart. He's like, on
every talk show. And he's like,

543
00:32:46,020 --> 00:32:49,020
Oh, I apologize. It seems like
losers, but I'm really angry.

544
00:32:49,020 --> 00:32:52,200
And you know, very much a mad as
hell. I'm not gonna take any

545
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,370
longer type of vibe.

546
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,920
Yeah. Did you read my market
watch column on this? No, I'm

547
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,660
sorry, what? I didn't want to
say

548
00:32:58,170 --> 00:33:01,410
I attacked the whole Well, it
wasn't about this, but it was it

549
00:33:01,410 --> 00:33:06,000
but it was in there. I attacked
the centrality for this

550
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,350
particular outburst. And my
rationale is pretty

551
00:33:10,350 --> 00:33:16,890
straightforward. Go forward. We
have over the last 12 or 15

552
00:33:16,890 --> 00:33:20,010
years, both through the end of
the Reagan administration.

553
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,560
Definitely throughout Clinton's
administration, Clinton pulled

554
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,950
the plug on, you know, all these
laws that were put in place

555
00:33:25,950 --> 00:33:29,610
after the depression, which have
resulted in essentially, you

556
00:33:29,610 --> 00:33:32,700
know, banks being able to do
what they did. And then of

557
00:33:32,700 --> 00:33:38,250
course, go broke. Most of these
things on a list I'll put up but

558
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,390
the consumer protection laws
have all been gutted. We can you

559
00:33:42,390 --> 00:33:47,010
know, they have you surrender
usury, it ridiculous interest

560
00:33:47,010 --> 00:33:50,040
rates you have these places that
you know take your paycheck

561
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,950
payday or pay cash, you know,
whatever paying it gets to get

562
00:33:52,950 --> 00:33:54,810
your money in advance places,

563
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,830
your your taxes, your refund tax
and your tax refund. We know

564
00:33:58,830 --> 00:33:59,160
that no,

565
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,410
there's these places all over
the country where you can take

566
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,380
your pay stub in because you say
your paychecks coming in two

567
00:34:04,380 --> 00:34:06,690
days, but you want some money
now, you can go in they'll give

568
00:34:06,690 --> 00:34:09,840
you the money in advance and
then stand back but if you don't

569
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,380
pay it back, you have to pay
10% 20% interest it's all it's

570
00:34:13,380 --> 00:34:14,100
essentially a

571
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,160
loan shark loan shark but it's

572
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,130
legal because they changed all
the laws and there's no consumer

573
00:34:20,130 --> 00:34:22,890
protection anymore and it's and
the fact of the matter is that

574
00:34:22,890 --> 00:34:25,530
the consumer protection is the
Public Utilities Commission's

575
00:34:25,530 --> 00:34:28,260
don't exist anymore. So the
phone company that we're all

576
00:34:28,260 --> 00:34:30,750
busted out while we don't need
them anymore, and then they all

577
00:34:30,750 --> 00:34:34,200
reform like that led liquid guy
on the Terminator two or

578
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,050
Terminator three, they just
formed back as AT and T again

579
00:34:37,050 --> 00:34:39,570
what happened there How did that
happen? So now you can get a

580
00:34:39,570 --> 00:34:42,330
phone bill with a bunch of weird
charges and uh, you can't do

581
00:34:42,330 --> 00:34:44,880
anything about it. Because
there's nobody that you can

582
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,490
pitch to. You can't say that the
PUC that you're getting ripped

583
00:34:47,490 --> 00:34:50,400
off and you can't say the phone
company that I'm not paying it

584
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,290
because then they'll cut you
off. You have no place to go?

585
00:34:52,290 --> 00:34:55,530
Well, don't worry about it.
Because the free market is what

586
00:34:55,530 --> 00:34:57,930
the absolute is say the free
market will take care of it. The

587
00:34:57,930 --> 00:35:01,290
free market doesn't take care of
stuff for him. individuals you

588
00:35:01,290 --> 00:35:04,260
know if you're like one person
fighting AT and T the free

589
00:35:04,260 --> 00:35:06,990
market doesn't do you any good
you do need these protective

590
00:35:06,990 --> 00:35:09,990
bodies, and you need consumer
protection laws which are all

591
00:35:09,990 --> 00:35:12,990
gone. So the consumer protection
laws are gone. And these poor

592
00:35:12,990 --> 00:35:15,420
saps these people who got into
over their head on these

593
00:35:15,420 --> 00:35:18,660
mortgages, these huge people who
were sold the bill of goods by

594
00:35:18,660 --> 00:35:22,170
salesmen, that there was no
protection for them may have

595
00:35:22,170 --> 00:35:24,930
expected there'd be some
protection but No, they weren't

596
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,930
walked down the primrose path.
They're not like Santos

597
00:35:28,500 --> 00:35:32,790
Sanatory, right. Santilli,
Santilli. They're not like

598
00:35:32,790 --> 00:35:35,100
Santella. They're not like those
guys on the trading floor.

599
00:35:35,100 --> 00:35:37,950
cheering, good. They're not
professional investors of the

600
00:35:37,950 --> 00:35:41,070
public. There's some people out
there, they don't know anything

601
00:35:41,070 --> 00:35:43,080
like that they're going to get
ripped off, or they're going to

602
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,270
be put in a bind, or they're
going to get screwed over by the

603
00:35:45,270 --> 00:35:49,050
system. So why are you jumping
on them? Why is it their fault?

604
00:35:49,050 --> 00:35:51,450
All of a sudden, why should they
be condemned and essentially

605
00:35:51,450 --> 00:35:55,470
called idiots? When the entire
system doesn't support the

606
00:35:55,470 --> 00:35:58,590
public anymore? This is just an
attack on the middle class. I

607
00:35:58,590 --> 00:36:02,190
think that that scene on CNBC
was abhorrent. I think it was

608
00:36:02,190 --> 00:36:05,190
disgusting. I think he should
have apologized profusely and

609
00:36:05,190 --> 00:36:07,170
the fact that he's taken
advantage of the situation he's

610
00:36:07,170 --> 00:36:11,610
going to have a meeting with
Obama is is unbelievable to me.

611
00:36:11,670 --> 00:36:12,690
It's sick.

612
00:36:13,110 --> 00:36:17,970
Let's let's have a quick listen
to Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.

613
00:36:18,750 --> 00:36:23,700
The same briefing on Friday,
where he addressed his sentence

614
00:36:23,700 --> 00:36:27,450
and tele specifically which I
found highly unusual the house

615
00:36:28,350 --> 00:36:32,400
it won't bail out. Find it and
it is not going to help us

616
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,820
persons home from being
foreclosed i the money that's

617
00:36:35,820 --> 00:36:38,640
invested in trapped with a
mortgage payment or one that's

618
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,550
been foreclosed shit reading,

619
00:36:42,210 --> 00:36:45,270
Leah cussing Aladdin over the
stove. Yeah, she has stopped

620
00:36:45,270 --> 00:36:46,380
because I had a queued up

621
00:36:46,769 --> 00:36:51,659
to feed the President's plan.
Yeah. And understand that it

622
00:36:51,659 --> 00:36:54,509
will head back up a little bit.
Here we go. I would encourage

623
00:36:54,509 --> 00:37:00,629
him to read the President's
plan. And understand that it

624
00:37:00,629 --> 00:37:06,059
will help millions of people,
many of whom he knows. I'd be

625
00:37:06,089 --> 00:37:10,379
more than happy to have him come
here and read it. I'd be happy

626
00:37:10,379 --> 00:37:13,319
to buy him a cup of coffee.
decaf.

627
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:28,020
I want to sort of follow up on
the What's even crazier. John is

628
00:37:28,020 --> 00:37:30,390
now now that he's responding to
that.

629
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,480
This is another distraction.

630
00:37:33,510 --> 00:37:40,800
It's a total distraction. Let me
thought I had it to your dog

631
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,670
while he was on Kudlow show. And
he's like, Yeah, of course. I'm

632
00:37:44,670 --> 00:37:47,850
gonna go to the White House. And
I, there's a lot to your rant

633
00:37:47,850 --> 00:37:52,440
there. John. I must confess,
there's a lot to your rant. If

634
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,310
anything, it's well, even the
fact that the press secretary is

635
00:37:56,310 --> 00:37:59,580
responding to it, you know, and
saying, oh, you should go to his

636
00:37:59,580 --> 00:38:04,200
computer. Look at it printed
out. That almost reeks of a

637
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,860
setup, doesn't it? Oh,
absolutely. Distractions. Of

638
00:38:07,860 --> 00:38:14,970
course, Ge Ge is a subsidiary or
CNBC is a subsidiary of NBC,

639
00:38:14,970 --> 00:38:17,670
which is owned by General
Electric and the CEO of General

640
00:38:17,670 --> 00:38:21,420
Electric is on the President's
Economic Advisory Board. So

641
00:38:21,450 --> 00:38:24,210
that's that's three hops. You
know, that's, that's, that's

642
00:38:24,210 --> 00:38:27,180
better than the Kevin Bacon
game. Right? Hey, maybe we

643
00:38:27,180 --> 00:38:30,660
should change it to the Obama
game. If you can be connected to

644
00:38:30,660 --> 00:38:33,810
I like it within six, six
separations from Obama and not

645
00:38:33,810 --> 00:38:38,070
bad. I'm gonna do that. Cuz I
bet you I bet you any buddies.

646
00:38:38,550 --> 00:38:40,590
That's how you show business for
Ugly people. And now they're

647
00:38:40,590 --> 00:38:43,140
getting beautiful. Damn.

648
00:38:44,430 --> 00:38:47,010
Anyway, well, that's a good
rant, but my column and my

649
00:38:47,010 --> 00:38:49,530
column and Market Watch
discusses this. It's running

650
00:38:49,530 --> 00:38:49,980
right now.

651
00:38:50,820 --> 00:38:53,700
So the distraction of course,
what is distracting from is a

652
00:38:53,700 --> 00:38:57,210
number of things including well,
right after the stimulus

653
00:38:58,050 --> 00:39:04,230
package. 17,000 more troops
going to Afghanistan. Pakistan

654
00:39:04,230 --> 00:39:05,730
is out of control. Dude.

655
00:39:06,750 --> 00:39:10,260
This is all Yeah, Pakistan. So
is it a nightmare? I mean, it's

656
00:39:10,260 --> 00:39:14,400
it is was a foregone conclusion
years ago. I mean, we should I

657
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,890
mean, I actually I think
everybody knew this was coming.

658
00:39:18,030 --> 00:39:20,400
Because who's running the place
now that Musharraf is out? Is

659
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,940
anyone running the place? Just
the Taliban.

660
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,540
Know the tally bonds only got
that one area?

661
00:39:27,660 --> 00:39:29,970
No, I thought they were now in
the north like they have this

662
00:39:29,970 --> 00:39:30,960
whole onslaught.

663
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:36,120
Right? Yeah. They gave him it.
They gave him the area. Pakistan

664
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,690
gave it to him. Yeah. Basically
gave Well, you know, the Taliban

665
00:39:39,690 --> 00:39:43,410
came from Pakistan to begin with
the Pakistanis. You know, they

666
00:39:43,410 --> 00:39:46,920
switched there was a really good
I got a I have this really good

667
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,400
article about the history of
this era. The Pakistanis went

668
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:55,320
into the Wahhabi camp of of
extreme fundamentalist Muslim is

669
00:39:55,350 --> 00:40:01,710
Muslim ism or, sorry, Islam
Islam Islam. Yeah. or is Islam

670
00:40:01,740 --> 00:40:07,350
and the I think I don't have the
exact date, but I think it was

671
00:40:07,350 --> 00:40:12,870
in the 70s or some or later. And
not sure. But anyway, they

672
00:40:13,020 --> 00:40:16,650
there's a real good paper that
documents that this history, and

673
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:21,450
it's really part of the real
world wide wide problem. And

674
00:40:21,450 --> 00:40:26,280
nobody has done anything to
reverse the, this essentially

675
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:36,960
change in, in philosophy of the,
the the poorest of the Muslim

676
00:40:37,590 --> 00:40:42,750
Muslims in Pakistan. But
obviously I'm wondering Yeah,

677
00:40:42,780 --> 00:40:46,350
yeah, floundering. But if I had
this, just because one of those

678
00:40:46,350 --> 00:40:48,600
things, you know, there's
something sometimes you run into

679
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,360
you find a document that says,
like, outlines a history of some

680
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:56,700
sort, and it's so dense, and
obviously hits everything hits

681
00:40:56,700 --> 00:41:01,080
all the right buttons. And it's,
you can't express it,

682
00:41:01,110 --> 00:41:03,690
unfortunately, you had the best
you can do just pass on the

683
00:41:03,690 --> 00:41:06,660
document somebody else. And I
have to go back and get that

684
00:41:06,660 --> 00:41:09,480
document. I think I'd sent it to
you. As a matter of fact, you

685
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:14,040
might have I have here from The
Times on Saturday, President

686
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,500
Obama's administration is
brought in the number of radical

687
00:41:16,500 --> 00:41:19,560
groups targeted by the CIA
inside Pakistan. So I guess

688
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:25,110
we're in now. And we're doing
covert operations. Yeah, I

689
00:41:25,110 --> 00:41:31,950
guess. And also, there was an
admission Oh, I should find that

690
00:41:32,310 --> 00:41:38,880
an admission by the Israeli
government that they've been in

691
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:43,140
Iran targeting nuclear
scientists and Nuclear

692
00:41:44,610 --> 00:41:45,840
Laboratories

693
00:41:45,899 --> 00:41:47,849
and blowing up Machad the
Mossad.

694
00:41:47,850 --> 00:41:51,750
Yeah. Yeah. But it was like an
eight Yeah. Yeah, I was I was

695
00:41:51,750 --> 00:41:53,940
amazed I mean, so that's what's
going on. I mean, you really

696
00:41:53,940 --> 00:41:54,840
think that's happening?

697
00:41:55,349 --> 00:41:59,429
I think it's just it's just
disinformation personally.

698
00:42:01,139 --> 00:42:03,869
Really, I mean, all you have to
do is go in there and do you

699
00:42:03,869 --> 00:42:06,959
know shake do something weird
just and then put the word out

700
00:42:06,959 --> 00:42:09,479
that this is going on figuring
out because they don't you know

701
00:42:09,479 --> 00:42:12,269
the problem with Iran I think
everybody over there knows that

702
00:42:12,269 --> 00:42:15,299
especially the scientists is
that they don't you know that

703
00:42:15,299 --> 00:42:20,399
the the media is is is is not I
guess you can call it corrupt

704
00:42:20,399 --> 00:42:22,919
because the government won't let
you print anything that's not

705
00:42:22,919 --> 00:42:26,609
approved and so you can't trust
the media to give you accurate

706
00:42:26,609 --> 00:42:29,759
information so you can steal
rumors this by the way is going

707
00:42:29,759 --> 00:42:33,779
to happen in this country. So
you can go happen gonna happen

708
00:42:34,409 --> 00:42:39,179
well, I mean, to more of an
extreme and so you can I think

709
00:42:39,179 --> 00:42:42,599
you can actually move opinion
with rumors and innuendo a lot

710
00:42:42,629 --> 00:42:47,039
easier in an environment where
the media is basically no good.

711
00:42:47,609 --> 00:42:53,039
And it is happening here to some
extent. And but there must be

712
00:42:53,039 --> 00:42:55,409
just a piece of cake because no
one's gonna believe anything

713
00:42:55,409 --> 00:42:58,409
they're reading the newspaper so
if somebody says the word starts

714
00:42:58,409 --> 00:43:02,189
passing around that the Israeli
Mossad is killing scientist in

715
00:43:02,189 --> 00:43:05,669
Iran, you know, murdering them
and then you know, but there's

716
00:43:05,669 --> 00:43:07,979
since there's no real good
communications there you can't

717
00:43:08,429 --> 00:43:13,379
you know, really Yeah, can't
double check it so you can get

718
00:43:13,379 --> 00:43:16,739
real freaked out so I think it's
pretty you know, pretty

719
00:43:16,739 --> 00:43:19,829
interesting that they tried to
pull that I don't I just don't

720
00:43:19,859 --> 00:43:22,439
see it happening. I mean, maybe
I don't know I mean, it would be

721
00:43:22,439 --> 00:43:25,949
something that is not unknown to
the Israeli intelligence that do

722
00:43:25,949 --> 00:43:28,529
this stuff they shot that
remember that guy they killed a

723
00:43:28,529 --> 00:43:29,849
built that big cannon

724
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,150
oh yeah the 100 foot long cannon
you mean that one?

725
00:43:33,540 --> 00:43:36,420
That guy with me he was the most
famous cannon designer in the

726
00:43:36,420 --> 00:43:39,690
world he was very you know used
by as a consultant he was going

727
00:43:39,690 --> 00:43:43,590
to apparently build this you
know 100 foot lower longer mile

728
00:43:43,590 --> 00:43:48,000
long cannon huge cannon that
there was going to put in Iraq

729
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,960
and they were going to build a
shell Tel Aviv because as you

730
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,710
can shoot a shell of it, this
guy was it was like, apparently

731
00:43:55,710 --> 00:43:58,470
just very, I can't remember his
name bowl, I think was his name

732
00:43:58,470 --> 00:44:02,880
or something like that. He was
just, like, minutes away from

733
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,830
being able to eat and he
believed you could do it.

734
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:08,100
Designing a cannon that could
put a satellite in or

735
00:44:09,090 --> 00:44:11,610
Yeah, sounds feasible, I guess,
if you

736
00:44:12,270 --> 00:44:17,580
can, it was long enough. Yeah.
And, and he, he's most modern

737
00:44:17,580 --> 00:44:22,950
Canons today are of his design.
For a lot of different reasons.

738
00:44:22,950 --> 00:44:26,340
I mean, he's was a genius.
Mariana cannon nut. So this

739
00:44:26,370 --> 00:44:29,910
Mossad, and I don't think anyone
that no one's ever denied it was

740
00:44:29,910 --> 00:44:32,850
Israeli intelligence. They got
sick of this guy, you know,

741
00:44:33,810 --> 00:44:36,210
building this thing. They've
tried to stop him. I guess he

742
00:44:36,210 --> 00:44:38,940
told him to shove it. And so
they just shot him in the hall.

743
00:44:38,940 --> 00:44:42,210
And so in his hotel somewhere,
goodbye. That was the end. Bye,

744
00:44:42,210 --> 00:44:42,660
bye.

745
00:44:43,260 --> 00:44:44,610
You're not a problem anymore.

746
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:50,220
You know, so. So it's not beyond
the possibility? Well, yeah, I

747
00:44:50,220 --> 00:44:53,040
think if the guy who backed off
he wouldn't have been killed. So

748
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:53,280
I

749
00:44:53,970 --> 00:44:57,150
possibly, but I agree with you.
I'll just take it a step

750
00:44:57,150 --> 00:45:00,000
further. I think our media is
already completely infiltrated.

751
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,710
And it's, again, it's not like,
people are being forced to write

752
00:45:04,710 --> 00:45:06,600
something, but it's a culture.
It's a culture of these

753
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:10,680
companies and stuff gets passed
down and they on the 40th floor

754
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,100
said they want this to happen.
It just kind of happens. And

755
00:45:14,100 --> 00:45:16,200
disinformation gets out all over
the place.

756
00:45:16,590 --> 00:45:20,970
My Well, there's two. Well, let
me just add to that, there's a

757
00:45:20,970 --> 00:45:22,830
couple other things that
probably should be mentioned, if

758
00:45:22,830 --> 00:45:25,770
we're going to talk about this
kind of thing. Generally

759
00:45:25,770 --> 00:45:28,230
speaking, if you're working for
a media company, like General

760
00:45:28,230 --> 00:45:34,020
Electric, or I'm sorry, NBC, or
any of these other or Disney,

761
00:45:34,020 --> 00:45:37,740
I'm sorry, ABC, or any of these
other large corporations that

762
00:45:37,740 --> 00:45:41,370
happen to have, you know,
ownership of, of the outlets.

763
00:45:42,330 --> 00:45:46,740
You probably, you know, don't do
one of two things. One, if

764
00:45:46,740 --> 00:45:49,980
you're working for ABC, you're
not going to do a an expose a on

765
00:45:49,980 --> 00:45:54,420
the dangers of one of the rides
at Disney World, Orlando,

766
00:45:54,450 --> 00:45:58,200
probably not probably ain't
gonna happen. No, and you're

767
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:02,280
probably not going to go after
General Electric. If you know

768
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,980
that there's a strike that
exists. That's dangerous.

769
00:46:04,980 --> 00:46:08,820
Because if you go after General
Electric in a, in a in an attack

770
00:46:08,820 --> 00:46:11,400
piece, saying well, they're jet
engines are near probably going

771
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:15,210
to lose your job. You're gonna
but I'm saying at ABC, you're

772
00:46:15,210 --> 00:46:19,020
not gonna go after the NBC story
or the or the General Electric

773
00:46:19,020 --> 00:46:21,210
story, because you know, that
they're gonna go after that bad

774
00:46:21,210 --> 00:46:25,770
ride is because the media, I
mean, I mean, writers very

775
00:46:25,770 --> 00:46:29,550
rarely attack each other in
that, and I've done it, and I

776
00:46:29,550 --> 00:46:32,430
always know and people that
attacked me, you always know the

777
00:46:32,430 --> 00:46:34,980
same thing, which is you're
gonna get attacked back. Yeah.

778
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,080
Yeah. You know, and it's and
it's a balancing thing. So

779
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,270
somebody says, you know,
something, you know, and then

780
00:46:39,270 --> 00:46:42,570
you do your weight and use lie
and wait, usually don't do it

781
00:46:42,570 --> 00:46:46,050
right away. And then you just do
it. And then you as a writer,

782
00:46:46,050 --> 00:46:48,240
you're always waiting for that
this happened to me, because I

783
00:46:48,270 --> 00:46:52,020
had, they tried to do a hit
piece on me and wired some years

784
00:46:52,020 --> 00:46:52,350
ago.

785
00:46:52,710 --> 00:46:55,920
And I thought, wait a minute, I
hit piece on John C. Dvorak.

786
00:46:56,490 --> 00:47:00,570
And when I actually was pulling
a bore Sook wrote it and she and

787
00:47:00,570 --> 00:47:05,040
I had, you know, they had what
they had to profile me, they're

788
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,640
going to be profile. So I, I
always was waiting for a hit

789
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,970
piece because I had written this
extremely scathing article about

790
00:47:11,970 --> 00:47:16,170
how I thought Nicholas
Negroponte was a big phony. And

791
00:47:18,270 --> 00:47:21,540
it was an obscure publication,
but I figured one of these days,

792
00:47:21,540 --> 00:47:25,650
you know, something was going to
crop up, and also seem to have

793
00:47:25,650 --> 00:47:30,600
extended the publishers on wired
at some point. They're one of

794
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,120
the original one. So it's a she
comes out and you know, she's

795
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,090
got it. And I am. So to be
honest about it. Anybody out

796
00:47:36,090 --> 00:47:38,820
there has tried to do this. In
fact, I was almost profiled in

797
00:47:38,820 --> 00:47:41,730
Playboy, not a hit piece, but a
regular profile. But to be

798
00:47:41,730 --> 00:47:45,000
honest about and it turns out,
and, you know, this is, well, it

799
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,940
was anyone, I'm actually fairly
dull person.

800
00:47:50,610 --> 00:47:53,760
I was just gonna say, why would
they even bother with a profile

801
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:59,640
on joy? He's a dusty old writer,
dude. I mean, who likes food and

802
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,680
wine? I mean, what's your what
do you want?

803
00:48:02,190 --> 00:48:09,630
There's nothing going on. And so
that's funny. So, anyway, so I

804
00:48:09,630 --> 00:48:13,140
have, so they did the best they
could, but I asked her point

805
00:48:13,140 --> 00:48:16,080
blank. And, you know, I did my
due diligence on her because I

806
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:20,070
never met her before. And I see
her once in a while, say hi. But

807
00:48:20,070 --> 00:48:22,080
you know, you always do your due
diligence on the writer. So I

808
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,060
did as much research as I could.
And I found out she was like a

809
00:48:24,060 --> 00:48:26,700
vegetarian or vegan or something
like that. So I insisted that we

810
00:48:26,700 --> 00:48:30,360
go to dinner, and have our one
of our meetings over dinner at

811
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,690
greens, which is a spectacular
vegetarian restaurant, San

812
00:48:33,690 --> 00:48:37,410
Francisco, which has this just a
terrific food and, uh, you know,

813
00:48:37,410 --> 00:48:40,470
that tends to be I always like
to put people into a environment

814
00:48:40,470 --> 00:48:44,520
where their food is distracting
them from dealing with me. And I

815
00:48:44,550 --> 00:48:46,830
usually I do it with press
people, because I don't really

816
00:48:46,830 --> 00:48:49,470
want to listen to their pitches
for about their company. I'd

817
00:48:49,470 --> 00:48:53,400
rather you know, have a good
meal. And so she told me out she

818
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,160
said, yeah, yeah, it's just
gonna it's it was designed to be

819
00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:00,870
a hit piece told me that was
just told me interested. So. So,

820
00:49:01,020 --> 00:49:03,480
you know, they did what they
could that they got one person

821
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,750
to say something bad about me.
And they put that in there. So

822
00:49:06,750 --> 00:49:10,320
you know, some PR woman said I
was a jerk. And but that was

823
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,620
about it. And then somebody else
defended me which of course, the

824
00:49:13,650 --> 00:49:16,740
person who defended me got
quoted, and gee, guess who gets

825
00:49:16,740 --> 00:49:20,130
a little extra credit nowadays?
I'm thinking like, I'm looking

826
00:49:20,130 --> 00:49:22,950
at this as though there's a PR
woman. One of them just says I'm

827
00:49:22,950 --> 00:49:25,980
a jerk. And of course, they
leave her name out. And the

828
00:49:25,980 --> 00:49:30,120
other one says I'm a really okay
guy. Which of these which one is

829
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:34,470
really the PR woman here? Yeah,
you know, obviously, the smart

830
00:49:34,470 --> 00:49:37,770
one, you know, whether I'm a
good guy or not, she has to now

831
00:49:37,770 --> 00:49:42,330
I have to always go out to take
her call. And, and the other one

832
00:49:42,330 --> 00:49:45,660
is obviously a moron. And I've
run into effect. I ran into one

833
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:51,000
PR woman once I was because I do
a lot of online research. And so

834
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,150
I run into this woman slamming
me on some website about

835
00:49:54,150 --> 00:49:57,510
something I don't know why. And
I looked into it, she's a PR

836
00:49:57,510 --> 00:50:01,260
woman. And she works for were
three companies. Yes.

837
00:50:01,260 --> 00:50:06,600
Smart. That's an let me write
them out. Let me write about

838
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,810
that product. AD is, what an

839
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:10,890
idiot. Well, so

840
00:50:10,890 --> 00:50:14,340
here's who owns the blue owns
Bloomberg. Now, John, is that

841
00:50:15,060 --> 00:50:16,320
Murdoch by that as well?

842
00:50:17,070 --> 00:50:18,720
I don't know. I didn't know that
Thunberg

843
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,800
sold I thought I guess sold.
Maybe I don't use? I don't know.

844
00:50:22,830 --> 00:50:25,080
Well, they came well, so I'm
hoping we can still believe

845
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:29,040
believe what they write. But
this, this is very Oh current

846
00:50:30,210 --> 00:50:35,460
and caught my eye. Apparently,
there's been mis measurements of

847
00:50:35,460 --> 00:50:42,750
the Arctic sea ice due to faulty
sensors. And the extent of the

848
00:50:42,750 --> 00:50:45,330
Arctic sea ice, which of course
has been claimed to have been

849
00:50:45,330 --> 00:50:49,710
reducing severely. Well, it
seems like they were off by

850
00:50:49,740 --> 00:50:54,450
500,000 square kilometers.
Because they have all these

851
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:59,880
faulty sensors. So is it melting
or not?

852
00:51:00,629 --> 00:51:04,979
Well, yeah, no, it's definitely
melting. And I mean, we're all

853
00:51:04,979 --> 00:51:07,979
in a globe with this as the
global warming era. Yeah, we're

854
00:51:07,979 --> 00:51:14,369
all going to die. Nor ignore
that data in judiciary data.

855
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:21,330
Nah, man. You're crapping out.
Don't don't know. Tell me to

856
00:51:21,330 --> 00:51:22,470
stop downloading porn.

857
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:29,610
Nobody's up. And Bloomberg is a
public company. It looks like is

858
00:51:29,610 --> 00:51:33,060
that right? I think it's public.
Yeah. Yeah. Bloomberg himself is

859
00:51:33,060 --> 00:51:39,540
going to buy it back. Yeah,
we'll make sense. Okay, it's

860
00:51:39,540 --> 00:51:39,690
kind

861
00:51:39,690 --> 00:51:43,680
of fun to see that Obama. You
know, we had the governor's over

862
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:47,640
at the White House. Yeah. Guess
what the entertainment was for

863
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:54,180
the dinner. John Legend will
know, it's so incredibly unhip,

864
00:51:54,210 --> 00:51:55,530
Earth Wind and Fire.

865
00:51:55,860 --> 00:51:57,210
Oh my God. You're kidding.

866
00:51:57,990 --> 00:52:00,000
I don't think I don't I don't
think Philip Bailey who was the

867
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,220
original lead singer, I don't
think he's even with the group

868
00:52:02,220 --> 00:52:06,330
anymore. That's like getting the
Four Tops. We get one top. Three

869
00:52:06,330 --> 00:52:14,460
other guys. Are a pip. High with
the pips. Earth Wind and Fire.

870
00:52:14,460 --> 00:52:17,550
That's not That's not the
epitome of cool.

871
00:52:19,290 --> 00:52:21,330
No, not at all. I want to book
that act.

872
00:52:22,260 --> 00:52:26,190
No, who will? Probably the same
person who publicize it, which

873
00:52:26,190 --> 00:52:31,410
was probably the one that was
calling you out. Stupid idiots.

874
00:52:35,310 --> 00:52:39,630
So a big news today is that I'm
I'm not sure how the numbers

875
00:52:39,630 --> 00:52:43,680
work. But the President says
that he is going within four

876
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:50,700
years he will bring the national
deficit down by half to a little

877
00:52:50,700 --> 00:52:51,810
over $500 billion.

878
00:52:53,460 --> 00:52:56,430
And I'm saying that national
deficit is not not a trillion.

879
00:52:56,430 --> 00:52:57,750
It's more than that is no, no.
Well,

880
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,110
of course that's a that's a
whole trick. That's the annual

881
00:53:01,230 --> 00:53:05,070
national deficit. The annual
national deficit deficit was

882
00:53:05,070 --> 00:53:09,120
like a trillion. Of course, now
it's, you know, the I don't know

883
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:13,770
what what do we spend last year,
like, Easy A trillion just on

884
00:53:14,190 --> 00:53:19,500
bailout stuff? So yeah, the
total numbers into the 10s of

885
00:53:19,500 --> 00:53:24,090
trillions. But now, it just
seems like what you know, and

886
00:53:24,090 --> 00:53:26,610
he's gonna He's gonna have a
plan on Tuesday how he's, you

887
00:53:26,610 --> 00:53:30,690
know, I don't understand it
doesn't mean you have to either

888
00:53:30,690 --> 00:53:34,320
raise taxes and cut government
spending in order to do that.

889
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,850
You have to do something. Yeah.
So he's gonna tell us on

890
00:53:38,850 --> 00:53:44,580
Tuesday, we can talk about on
Thursday. You know, the problem

891
00:53:44,580 --> 00:53:46,800
is everybody in this die of
Horowitz talks about this and he

892
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,400
has some charts, I just need to
repost them on my blog. Every

893
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,190
time one of these boneheads goes
up and gives a speech like this

894
00:53:53,190 --> 00:53:54,900
the market tanks the next day.

895
00:53:55,260 --> 00:53:59,040
Incredible. Well, they should
just shut up. Well, the DOD,

896
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:02,160
could you I mean, they somewhat
I mean, dad's head has got to

897
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,770
get handed to him because of
course, the whole and by the

898
00:54:04,770 --> 00:54:09,690
way, I did call it only six days
late, the market went below my

899
00:54:09,690 --> 00:54:15,210
number of 7286. Below gold
almost hit its all time high of

900
00:54:15,210 --> 00:54:20,460
1003. I do want to say I call
this in November, maybe even

901
00:54:20,460 --> 00:54:25,140
October, but certainly November.
And this is not a nananana

902
00:54:25,140 --> 00:54:27,600
event. But it's very important
because then, you know, there's

903
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,300
like some extra credibility that
comes along with today. You

904
00:54:30,300 --> 00:54:32,880
know, all right, he was right
about that. So then I can be a

905
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:36,060
little more crack potty about
some of the other stuff. Good.

906
00:54:36,570 --> 00:54:42,390
Yeah. But it was Senator, the
senator.

907
00:54:42,660 --> 00:54:44,910
I think what it does is Yes,
Senator, Senator is not it

908
00:54:44,910 --> 00:54:46,890
doesn't go to 6000. I'll be
okay.

909
00:54:46,950 --> 00:54:51,750
It's gonna go to 6000 and s&p
600. Watch for that. That's the

910
00:54:51,750 --> 00:54:55,620
real that's the real hard one
that's gonna hit s&p 600 market.

911
00:54:55,620 --> 00:54:59,280
I don't have a date for you. But
yeah, I totally believe s&p 600

912
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,670
So already freaked out that it's
under 800. You know that?

913
00:55:02,970 --> 00:55:09,300
Yeah. Oh, no, I totally. I mean,
just find this. So the market

914
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,750
tanked after and this was what
was interesting after

915
00:55:12,750 --> 00:55:17,280
Christopher Dodd, who is also in
charge of the Senate Banking

916
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:23,640
Committee, I believe. He comes
out and he says, Yeah, well, we

917
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,010
might have to nationalize the
banks. Yeah, it could just be a

918
00:55:26,010 --> 00:55:29,400
brief period of time. But we
might have to nationalize the

919
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,280
banks. And so that's on
Bloomberg, Bloomberg and start

920
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:34,650
spinning it as we've got this
exclusive. And they play the

921
00:55:34,650 --> 00:55:38,190
soundbite. And the market goes,
the bottom just fell out

922
00:55:38,220 --> 00:55:42,570
momentarily. And yeah, and then
and then they rush back. And

923
00:55:43,980 --> 00:55:46,680
these guys are clueless about
this. They must

924
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,950
be clueless. They must be
clueless. I mean,

925
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:57,000
nobody wants to hear from them.
Shut up and get to work. Yeah.

926
00:55:59,310 --> 00:56:08,580
No. So we want to talk about we
store it, you know, another 900

927
00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:13,050
subscribers to the podcast. I'm
going to keep doing this every

928
00:56:13,050 --> 00:56:15,930
week until we get to a actually,
at some point, when we get to a

929
00:56:15,930 --> 00:56:17,610
certain number. We're going to
do three a week.

930
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:21,030
Of course we are. My goal is
eventually we'll we'll be doing

931
00:56:21,030 --> 00:56:25,170
this. You're right. Yeah, we'll
be careful. But you're right.

932
00:56:25,170 --> 00:56:27,810
When we get to the right number,
we'll have to go to three. And

933
00:56:27,810 --> 00:56:30,660
also, because there's just too
much to cover. There's too much

934
00:56:30,660 --> 00:56:31,530
to talk about.

935
00:56:32,100 --> 00:56:35,220
Right? There is I mean, we could
go on, especially if your now

936
00:56:35,220 --> 00:56:41,010
that you've decided to actually
do research. Well, this show

937
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,160
what it's killing the show, man,
at least it would it would it

938
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,830
kill you to do a little bit of
research with to do something

939
00:56:46,830 --> 00:56:47,340
here.

940
00:56:48,870 --> 00:56:50,700
The way this show is for people
that have heard just started

941
00:56:50,700 --> 00:56:53,520
listening. So hold on a second,
let me get this thing back on my

942
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:57,630
ear. The people just started
listening to realize that when

943
00:56:57,630 --> 00:56:59,880
we started doing this show, it
was a casual conversation

944
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:03,360
between two guys, and we had a
lot of stuff to catch up on. And

945
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,540
it was once a week. Yeah. And it
was like, you know, we chat

946
00:57:06,540 --> 00:57:09,000
about this. And then we get we
realized that we knew something

947
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,950
about somebody get on a jam, you
know, it'd be very interesting,

948
00:57:10,950 --> 00:57:15,120
but if the show would would roam
aimlessly. It'd be mostly though

949
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,000
about international stuff. And
actually, we need to get back to

950
00:57:18,030 --> 00:57:20,970
doing a little more of that. I'm
ready to just, I'm ready. But

951
00:57:20,970 --> 00:57:23,700
but the point anyway, was, we
managed to get through an hour

952
00:57:23,700 --> 00:57:26,940
and a half a week of just
chatting. And we it was

953
00:57:26,940 --> 00:57:31,530
interesting, it was an ebb and
flow to the show. But then we

954
00:57:31,530 --> 00:57:33,540
went to the twice and then you
started taking it more

955
00:57:34,500 --> 00:57:38,220
seriously. So then I started
taking some of those lists, but

956
00:57:38,370 --> 00:57:43,170
at least I'm trying and and so
the show is now getting more

957
00:57:43,230 --> 00:57:46,260
packed with more information.
But I'm not going to complain

958
00:57:46,260 --> 00:57:48,210
about because it's stuff that
you're digging up about

959
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,580
especially about these these,
which I realize that you've

960
00:57:50,580 --> 00:57:54,780
stumbled on to an interesting
idea, which is just pick anybody

961
00:57:54,780 --> 00:57:59,280
out of this Obama group and
Twitter and look at him and see

962
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,500
what the heck they're doing what
they you know what they're up

963
00:58:01,500 --> 00:58:04,080
to, and you've got a you've got
a good 10 minutes of material.

964
00:58:04,470 --> 00:58:08,430
So but the point is that people
out there need to subscribe, and

965
00:58:08,430 --> 00:58:10,410
this to the voluntary thing
we've got you know, it's like

966

973
00:58:34,470 --> 00:58:38,460

may increase the frequency. And

974
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,790
I'll have the buttons up later
this before the Thursday show

975
00:58:41,790 --> 00:58:46,710
for a once a year donation and a
open donation if somebody wants

976
00:58:46,710 --> 00:58:49,770
to throw a bunch of money at us.
When I think that I'm thinking

977
00:58:49,770 --> 00:58:53,040
of Dubai, I think by some
somebody in Dubai,

978
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:58,320
just throw a throw sort of
dollars. Yeah, exactly. So what

979
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:00,870
someone who's hurting into Oh, I
spoke to my buddy, by the way.

980
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:06,270
And and he suggested there's a
periodical which is believe it

981
00:59:06,270 --> 00:59:10,950
or not petroleum journal
monthly. And he suggest

982
00:59:10,950 --> 00:59:14,310
subscribing to that it's a
physical magazine. And he

983
00:59:14,310 --> 00:59:21,000
confirmed he said the actual
cost for the Saudis is $30 per

984
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:28,290
barrel of oil. And they've
invested at over $100 barrel oil

985
00:59:28,290 --> 00:59:31,350
in their infrastructure and
their pleasure playground. And

986
00:59:31,350 --> 00:59:35,040
he confirmed the 1000s of cars
at Dubai airport. And of course,

987
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:38,010
what's happening now is
everyone's pulling out all the

988
00:59:38,010 --> 00:59:41,400
companies are moving down to
South America. You know, there's

989
00:59:41,430 --> 00:59:45,330
of course the whole East Timor,
Indonesia thing, you know,

990
00:59:45,330 --> 00:59:48,720
that's been going on for 1000s
you hunt for 100 years. You

991
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:51,480
know, there's oil everywhere,
and they're just moving out.

992
00:59:51,510 --> 00:59:55,410
They're just saying goodbye. The
Arabs are just being completely

993
00:59:55,410 --> 00:59:57,240
obliterated. obliterated,

994
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:00,180
I tell you, I gotta get some
documentation for that. This

995
01:00:00,180 --> 01:00:01,110
assertion he was

996
01:00:01,110 --> 01:00:05,070
going to give me the the issue
where that was laid out pretty

997
01:00:05,070 --> 01:00:07,440
clearly. And you know, he says,
Look, I gotta lay off people

998
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,830
because it's a contractor
business. And what's happening

999
01:00:10,830 --> 01:00:13,740
is that because they're a, he
works at a or oil services

1000
01:00:13,740 --> 01:00:19,020
company. And so basically
setting up the infrastructure

1001
01:00:19,020 --> 01:00:23,010
in, you know, subcontract
attracted through the big oil

1002
01:00:23,010 --> 01:00:26,670
companies. And, you know, so
they'll give him a price on

1003
01:00:26,670 --> 01:00:29,370
something. And you know, instead
of bickering over the price,

1004
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:31,470
what the oil companies are doing
is saying, Yeah, that's great.

1005
01:00:31,470 --> 01:00:33,900
That's interesting price. We'll
call you again in six months. So

1006
01:00:33,900 --> 01:00:37,320
everything's being pushed off.
Basically, nothing you know,

1007
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,110
there's they're stagnating,
there's no no investment nothing

1008
01:00:40,110 --> 01:00:42,330
going on. Because everyone's
waiting for the price to go up.

1009
01:00:42,660 --> 01:00:43,260
It's just wonder

1010
01:00:43,260 --> 01:00:45,090
what they're gonna do with
those. You got all these

1011
01:00:45,090 --> 01:00:48,210
buildings that they've thrown up
and do by me. It's like, it's

1012
01:00:48,210 --> 01:00:49,050
almost like a

1013
01:00:49,530 --> 01:00:53,040
it's a it's a ghost town. Not
everyone's gotta go. You gotta

1014
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:57,450
find some way to go. Up
seriously, we don't gotta go.

1015
01:00:57,450 --> 01:01:00,210
No, I disagree. There's no
reason to go to Dubai. I've been

1016
01:01:00,900 --> 01:01:02,100
there's no reason to go.

1017
01:01:04,020 --> 01:01:05,280
been putting a Bali

1018
01:01:06,510 --> 01:01:09,870
crab man, you crab, tallest
building? Don't talk. So maybe

1019
01:01:09,870 --> 01:01:12,150
it's when you talk about that?
It happens back off.

1020
01:01:12,450 --> 01:01:16,380
Well, okay. So is that better?
Do they sound better? Sound

1021
01:01:16,380 --> 01:01:25,200
little more detail the more FM
radio. So so so do Emirates

1022
01:01:25,260 --> 01:01:28,320
Airlines. Let me Oh, I'm coming
in clear Emirates Emirates

1023
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:32,130
Emirates. Yes, we got you.
Emirates now has had a direct

1024
01:01:32,130 --> 01:01:40,140
flight to San Francisco on a
long haul 777 to Dubai. So I

1025
01:01:40,140 --> 01:01:43,710
figured we should probably find
some way to get a comp flight.

1026
01:01:44,670 --> 01:01:45,570
Round Trip.

1027
01:01:45,810 --> 01:01:50,010
No. No. Why don't you go get
that calm flight. All right. Why

1028
01:01:50,010 --> 01:01:53,370
don't you go sit in Dubai on
Thursday. And then give me a

1029
01:01:53,370 --> 01:01:59,250
call. Because it's boring in
Dubai. It's frickin boring. It's

1030
01:01:59,250 --> 01:02:03,570
boring. It's boring. I was there
for a week. I wanted to shoot

1031
01:02:03,570 --> 01:02:05,130
myself after three days.

1032
01:02:06,030 --> 01:02:08,520
Well, it's it couldn't be more
interesting. I mean, there's a

1033
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:09,510
lot of shopping.

1034
01:02:09,570 --> 01:02:12,810
There's no hookers. There's no
booze. There's no it's boring.

1035
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,220
There's no cars anymore. But
you're probably right. Compared

1036
01:02:17,220 --> 01:02:19,380
to I priced the flight just to
see what the you know, thinking

1037
01:02:19,380 --> 01:02:22,620
well, I'm just looking, pricing
the flight.

1038
01:02:23,670 --> 01:02:27,180
Let me go through some real
important news here. You and

1039
01:02:27,180 --> 01:02:29,850
your Dubai I don't want I don't
even tell you what the price. I

1040
01:02:29,850 --> 01:02:33,060
don't want to go to Dubai. I
don't care. I want to sit in the

1041
01:02:33,060 --> 01:02:37,950
command center all day.
Preparing for the show.

1042
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:45,660
$10,000 seems a little high.
What's $10,000?

1043
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:50,820
The flight to Dubai $10,000.
What was that first class? No,

1044
01:02:50,820 --> 01:02:55,260
it's business. Cheese. That's
outrageous.

1045
01:02:55,770 --> 01:02:59,430
I think they're just living in a
dream world if you think

1046
01:03:00,870 --> 01:03:04,830
all right, I'm gonna run through
this, John. Just stop me stop me

1047
01:03:04,830 --> 01:03:07,920
when you want to Gordon Brown
visiting Washington on March 3,

1048
01:03:07,950 --> 01:03:12,090
that will be underreported in
the United States. So keep an

1049
01:03:12,090 --> 01:03:14,940
eye on it. See if if anything
interesting shows up. Because of

1050
01:03:14,940 --> 01:03:20,340
course Gordon Brown is now on
his trip. His new world order

1051
01:03:20,340 --> 01:03:31,740
trip as in head trip. He's at
the G 20. Here we go. In Berlin.

1052
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:37,860
Gordon Brown appeared upbeat
about the success of the

1053
01:03:37,860 --> 01:03:42,420
Conference of European leaders.
And here's a quote from him. We

1054
01:03:42,420 --> 01:03:45,000
will have a global system where
we can identify and have

1055
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,790
transparency and disclosure from
all financial institutions,

1056
01:03:47,790 --> 01:03:52,530
including, of course, hedge
funds. So that's the World Bank

1057
01:03:52,530 --> 01:04:00,210
that he's announcing there,
essentially. This is, oh, this

1058
01:04:00,210 --> 01:04:03,480
will please you. This came in
when real quick so it'll never

1059
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:07,050
hit the headlines. The Army
times which I do read.

1060
01:04:07,650 --> 01:04:09,780
You're good man. It's a good
it's an excellent publication.

1061
01:04:09,780 --> 01:04:10,140
It's a great

1062
01:04:10,140 --> 01:04:13,560
publication. I had announced
that the National Guard was

1063
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:23,070
going to do what they call it a
gun deployment while they were

1064
01:04:23,070 --> 01:04:28,290
they were going to do deployment
Yes, in in a town in in Iowa are

1065
01:04:28,290 --> 01:04:33,120
Katie Iowa population 443. The
guard had planned a four day

1066
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:37,050
urban military operation of
sending troops to take over the

1067
01:04:37,050 --> 01:04:40,770
town and searched door to door
for suspected weapons dealers.

1068
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:47,700
And so this got a lot of quick
online press and now they've

1069
01:04:47,700 --> 01:04:48,330
scrapped it.

1070
01:04:51,270 --> 01:04:56,220
Wow. Well, that doesn't mean
it's really scrapped. Well,

1071
01:04:56,250 --> 01:04:59,250
this is the thing they've
underestimated the internet.

1072
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,740
They thought that they You could
fool us with the with their own

1073
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,980
weather with the old Wag the Dog
television tactics, but it's

1074
01:05:04,980 --> 01:05:07,350
just it's just not working
anymore. You know, people are so

1075
01:05:07,350 --> 01:05:12,210
jaded. And of course, there's a
lot of people actually bringing

1076
01:05:12,210 --> 01:05:15,750
us news online. It's like, Oh,
I've been tracing back the

1077
01:05:15,750 --> 01:05:24,150
origins of Sir. Stanford. How
that got broken. Apparently, it

1078
01:05:24,150 --> 01:05:32,010
was a Venezuelan trader. Who,
who started? I think he wrote a

1079
01:05:32,010 --> 01:05:38,640
blog post about it. This is how
hypothetic our SEC is. You wrote

1080
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,490
a blog posts and blog. Well,
yeah, exactly. Well, that's a

1081
01:05:41,490 --> 01:05:44,400
beautiful thing. You know, he
said, Hey, man, this is this

1082
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:48,720
shit is off. And that's
apparently how it started to

1083
01:05:48,780 --> 01:05:52,830
spin out but I sent you that
thing which it's, it's, it's

1084
01:05:52,830 --> 01:05:55,410
even too freaky a thing for us
to talk about just because it's

1085
01:05:55,410 --> 01:05:58,800
so deep and detailed, and
there's a lot of anti semitic

1086
01:05:58,860 --> 01:06:01,410
overtures in it, which I really
don't like I don't know how to

1087
01:06:01,410 --> 01:06:01,950
get around.

1088
01:06:02,820 --> 01:06:04,800
You know, that's the thing we
know you can do. I mean,

1089
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:08,700
typically these to these people,
it's always amazing to me, where

1090
01:06:08,700 --> 01:06:11,340
you have a person that seems to
be outlining a very interesting

1091
01:06:11,340 --> 01:06:16,170
situation, then they fall off
the boat. Like their brain can

1092
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:20,040
maintain that the normal part of
it and they go crazy with this,

1093
01:06:20,070 --> 01:06:23,520
you know, people think that
we're kind of, you know, bring

1094
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:26,910
out some of this conspiratorial
stuff to to some extent you

1095
01:06:26,910 --> 01:06:30,360
mainly, but it's nothing like
this stuff that we don't talk

1096
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,750
about. Holy crap. Totally
insane. Well, this

1097
01:06:33,750 --> 01:06:36,270
is the who's behind made off
thing did you did you actually

1098
01:06:36,270 --> 01:06:37,350
have a chance to read that?

1099
01:06:37,380 --> 01:06:40,680
Yeah, I read that it's
ridiculous. You know, gets

1100
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:44,610
Israeli intelligence and this
and that and the other thing and

1101
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:46,620
doesn't really make a lot of
sense well, I'm

1102
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:49,140
I'm gonna put the link in the
show notes so that you know,

1103
01:06:49,140 --> 01:06:51,840
someone out there might might
trigger something and they might

1104
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:53,670
think about something else
because it is really just

1105
01:06:53,670 --> 01:06:57,960
connecting the dots you know
that that's all we're doing. UK

1106
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:01,920
loses highly sensitive Iraq War
papers is another

1107
01:07:01,950 --> 01:07:04,860
How did these people are losing
stuff constantly.

1108
01:07:06,990 --> 01:07:09,720
British Ministry of Defence
documents on the Iraq war have

1109
01:07:09,750 --> 01:07:13,740
been reportedly stolen from a
lawyer for a private law firm on

1110
01:07:13,740 --> 01:07:16,500
a train to London, these guys,
you know, what happens is they

1111
01:07:16,500 --> 01:07:19,260
get on the train, even though
Boris Johnson outlawed it, they

1112
01:07:19,260 --> 01:07:22,050
get on the train and they start
drinking. And you know, you're

1113
01:07:22,050 --> 01:07:25,200
on the train for at least half
an hour and then maybe an hour

1114
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:27,840
and a half. Some people go on
down south to the to the

1115
01:07:27,870 --> 01:07:31,980
southern counties, and the drunk
that just the hammer the tire,

1116
01:07:31,980 --> 01:07:35,010
the train is kind of wobbly, you
know, you're drinking a brewski.

1117
01:07:35,010 --> 01:07:38,130
And like, and then you leave it
with your paper or whatever, you

1118
01:07:38,130 --> 01:07:39,510
know, you just leave it on the
train.

1119
01:07:39,750 --> 01:07:42,210
That's why you lose it. And but
then you blame it on it being

1120
01:07:42,210 --> 01:07:42,930
stolen.

1121
01:07:43,950 --> 01:07:44,850
Exactly. It's,

1122
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,130
I mean, you can't what else you
gonna say, Okay, let's take a

1123
01:07:47,130 --> 01:07:50,550
look. I'm a bureaucrat, I
brought my shit on the train,

1124
01:07:50,550 --> 01:07:53,580
because I'm stupid. And it's not
encrypted, because I don't

1125
01:07:53,580 --> 01:07:57,210
really know how to do that I'm
too busy getting sloshed. And so

1126
01:07:57,210 --> 01:08:00,360
I get on the train, I go right
to the bar, it's the first thing

1127
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,300
I do. And then I started
drinking. And you know, now have

1128
01:08:03,300 --> 01:08:05,640
another one. And you know, I've
another one, you know, it's

1129
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:08,460
always gonna be like Scotch or
something to not, not not

1130
01:08:08,460 --> 01:08:12,570
Chardonnay, that's for sure.
And, and it's a long way and you

1131
01:08:12,570 --> 01:08:17,310
don't want to deal with your you
get wasted. I was on a plane

1132
01:08:17,310 --> 01:08:20,490
once with a guy who was a
publisher of, let's say, a

1133
01:08:20,490 --> 01:08:23,940
magazine that I used to work for
it was actually a PC World

1134
01:08:23,970 --> 01:08:28,980
publisher. And this guy was so
he gots and I accidentally said,

1135
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:32,460
our just by coincidence sat next
to him. And he was a guy. And

1136
01:08:32,550 --> 01:08:34,950
this was years ago, so nobody
could figure out who it is. But

1137
01:08:35,100 --> 01:08:38,220
he got hammered on the plane
from New York to San Francisco.

1138
01:08:38,220 --> 01:08:42,480
I mean, I'm talking about
hammered. And one of the reasons

1139
01:08:42,480 --> 01:08:45,090
for that is because the plane
was delayed, and this is during

1140
01:08:45,090 --> 01:08:48,240
the era where if your plane was
delayed by any amount of time

1141
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:52,440
they would offer you, they'd
open the bar up. And I don't

1142
01:08:52,440 --> 01:08:54,510
think I was in business, they
might have been whatever the

1143
01:08:54,510 --> 01:08:57,420
case was, the bar was open one
way or the other. And so this

1144
01:08:57,420 --> 01:09:02,220
guy kept having to vodkas,
override to vote because I

1145
01:09:02,220 --> 01:09:06,060
turned to vodkas. And he
couldn't drink very well, it

1146
01:09:06,060 --> 01:09:11,040
seemed to me and it but he had
about maybe, I'd say 14 of those

1147
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:16,080
little bottles of vodka. And so
he was like really shot. And

1148
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:20,100
then he I was concerned about
it. So I you know, kept stayed

1149
01:09:20,100 --> 01:09:21,540
with him. And

1150
01:09:21,630 --> 01:09:24,090
by the way, you're you're like
the girlfriend that holds holds

1151
01:09:24,090 --> 01:09:27,210
your hair back as you're puking.
That's, that's your essential

1152
01:09:27,210 --> 01:09:27,720
role.

1153
01:09:28,380 --> 01:09:31,440
So I'm like hanging and making
sure that guys don't get mugged

1154
01:09:31,440 --> 01:09:34,140
or something. So I you know, you
wanted to go to his car and he's

1155
01:09:34,140 --> 01:09:37,470
like him comes off the plane,
I'm gonna drive home. And I

1156
01:09:37,470 --> 01:09:39,570
said, I don't know if you
shouldn't and he's fumbling

1157
01:09:39,570 --> 01:09:42,870
around for his keys. And he, you
know, it's like the video, you

1158
01:09:42,870 --> 01:09:45,420
know, drops his keys and and
falls down trying to pick them

1159
01:09:45,420 --> 01:09:48,930
up. And so I said, Hey, you
know, I think I'll drop you off.

1160
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:52,680
You know, maybe you can come
back at the car later. So he

1161
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:55,620
says yes, and so I hopefully
doesn't throw up in my car. He

1162
01:09:55,620 --> 01:09:58,680
doesn't. And I dropped him off
and it's like, you know, he has

1163
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,230
some place in the city and what
walked him up to his door where

1164
01:10:01,230 --> 01:10:05,040
he, I think he basically fell
asleep on the on the stoop. And

1165
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:10,170
I left I figured I did my job,
I'm close enough. And then he

1166
01:10:10,170 --> 01:10:12,720
was fired some months later
because apparently he was a

1167
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:22,050
drunk. So guys, you know, in
this horrible government job,

1168
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:25,500
and they just leave the computer
behind because they walk off and

1169
01:10:25,500 --> 01:10:28,170
leave it on the train and boom,
there it goes. Yeah. And they

1170
01:10:28,170 --> 01:10:30,300
never see it again, somebody
will pick it up and you know,

1171
01:10:30,300 --> 01:10:32,430
use it as their computer, they
probably don't ever go to the

1172
01:10:32,430 --> 01:10:34,470
data files. And if they did,
they wouldn't know what to do

1173
01:10:34,470 --> 01:10:36,810
with them. But no, it was
stolen.

1174
01:10:36,930 --> 01:10:40,080
It is interesting, because the
UK has been pretty good. And

1175
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:42,540
this is a big flap over here.
And I'm sure you're not hearing

1176
01:10:42,540 --> 01:10:48,840
about it at all in the US. That
essentially, the British justice

1177
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:55,050
department kept all these all
the secrets about essentially

1178
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:58,920
the the Bush White House, saying
okay, you know, we're going to

1179
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:02,940
be moving people around for
secret interrogations and jails

1180
01:11:02,940 --> 01:11:06,150
all over the place, you're going
to cooperate and shut up. And

1181
01:11:06,150 --> 01:11:11,580
then there's a there's the case
of this one British man who's

1182
01:11:11,580 --> 01:11:17,220
been who was in Gitmo for four
or five years tortured. And so

1183
01:11:17,220 --> 01:11:21,660
now it's all kind of coming out
that mi six I guess, or maybe

1184
01:11:21,660 --> 01:11:25,020
even Ministry of Defense, that
they knew about this, and they

1185
01:11:25,020 --> 01:11:27,300
actually participated in
torture. And there's pictures of

1186
01:11:27,300 --> 01:11:30,420
the guys fingernails are torn
out. And, you know, this is the

1187
01:11:30,420 --> 01:11:34,050
so called special relationship
that America and Britain have

1188
01:11:34,050 --> 01:11:38,520
together. It's just disgusting.
It's just it's really it's it's

1189
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:41,880
vile Heschel relations today,
listen to it, they'll keep

1190
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:44,910
saying that special
relationship. Here's a funny

1191
01:11:44,910 --> 01:11:48,630
one. Police officers were rushed
to a hospital in the United

1192
01:11:48,630 --> 01:11:52,710
Kingdom after a suspicious
substance was thrown through a

1193
01:11:52,710 --> 01:11:58,290
car window. So the Metropolitan
Police responded to these

1194
01:11:58,470 --> 01:12:01,950
reports of an unusual smell
coming from a car with smashed

1195
01:12:01,950 --> 01:12:05,820
windows in Enfield, North
London. They saw an unknown

1196
01:12:05,820 --> 01:12:09,390
brown substance inside and those
who came in to contact with it

1197
01:12:09,390 --> 01:12:14,370
were rushed to the hospital. It
turns out it was HP sauce the

1198
01:12:14,370 --> 01:12:20,460
brown sauce I just love Oh, it's
brown stuff. We're gonna die

1199
01:12:20,460 --> 01:12:23,580
it's gonna explode it's the
brown stuff and it was that

1200
01:12:23,580 --> 01:12:25,050
horrible brown sauce.

1201
01:12:25,350 --> 01:12:31,170
Yeah HB a one sauce of England.
Yeah, only

1202
01:12:31,170 --> 01:12:34,560
once only Don't Don't be
confused. Made ain't no a one.

1203
01:12:34,830 --> 01:12:39,060
You know what I'll tell you the
at the sauces that by the way, I

1204
01:12:39,060 --> 01:12:42,120
did a thing once where I went, I
was traveling enough around the

1205
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:48,720
world that I would buy hp, hp
sauce, a one sauce and

1206
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,660
Worcestershire sauce in
different parts of the world.

1207
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:56,550
And it's amazing how different
the formulations are from place

1208
01:12:56,550 --> 01:13:00,060
to place it's not even you think
as well as the same right? No,

1209
01:13:00,150 --> 01:13:04,830
no, no, no, no. Alien. And the
one that if you anyone who wants

1210
01:13:04,830 --> 01:13:08,910
to try this in, get some really
interesting products the I don't

1211
01:13:08,910 --> 01:13:12,270
recommend the HP in a once
experiment anymore because for

1212
01:13:12,270 --> 01:13:14,280
one thing you can't use either
one of those things if things

1213
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:17,880
are almost all high fructose
corn syrup, because I won't use

1214
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:21,180
sugar which is the stuff that
will kill you. It's up to you

1215
01:13:21,180 --> 01:13:23,940
know well now you're gonna get a
letter. But step I think

1216
01:13:23,940 --> 01:13:26,970
Canada's only blessed hold up
for using a lot of sugar and

1217
01:13:26,970 --> 01:13:32,160
stuff. And you know, cane sugar
and but anyway the worst your

1218
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:34,410
share sauce is the one that's
the most extreme and it's

1219
01:13:34,410 --> 01:13:36,780
differences it's very
interesting. Lee and parent

1220
01:13:36,780 --> 01:13:41,520
exact same brand tasty. Tastes
radically different from country

1221
01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:42,300
to country. You know, what's

1222
01:13:42,300 --> 01:13:46,530
an interesting sauce? There was
a guy who was on Dragon's Den,

1223
01:13:46,830 --> 01:13:49,980
which is kind of a reality show
here in the United Kingdom. Is

1224
01:13:49,980 --> 01:13:53,070
it on the stage now? Dragon's
Den? It must be on BBC America

1225
01:13:53,070 --> 01:13:53,880
or South America I

1226
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:55,380
think I may have seen it Yeah,

1227
01:13:55,710 --> 01:13:59,100
I there's no US version yet. I
know because they asked me for

1228
01:13:59,100 --> 01:14:04,440
it but the show never took off
and never got greenlit and they

1229
01:14:04,440 --> 01:14:08,610
had a guy on who would who had
was making the sauce in his in

1230
01:14:08,610 --> 01:14:12,480
his kitchen at home. And it was
a Rasta guy right and he walks

1231
01:14:12,480 --> 01:14:15,870
in he has a cool song like
reggae reggae sauce and he's

1232
01:14:15,870 --> 01:14:19,140
doing this whole roster thing
and they taste the sauce and

1233
01:14:19,140 --> 01:14:20,970
they're like wow, this is good.
You know we're gonna give you

1234
01:14:20,970 --> 01:14:23,610
whatever he was asking for
50,000 pounds or whatever to get

1235
01:14:23,610 --> 01:14:27,330
the business going. And now it's
it's available and widely it was

1236
01:14:27,330 --> 01:14:30,900
a shit is really good. It's
fantastic. It's the reggae

1237
01:14:30,900 --> 01:14:36,240
reggae sauce. It's kind of the
jerk chicken like a jerk sauce

1238
01:14:36,300 --> 01:14:39,900
in a way. It has a it has kind
of a nice little stinky bite

1239
01:14:39,900 --> 01:14:42,930
that's that lingers on. It's
phenomenal. It's really really

1240
01:14:42,930 --> 01:14:45,960
good. So I will bring one over
next time I come you'll like the

1241
01:14:46,470 --> 01:14:51,450
reggae reggae sauce. George
Soros said on Friday. The this

1242
01:14:51,450 --> 01:14:55,110
is just to make you feel good.
The world financial system has

1243
01:14:55,110 --> 01:14:58,800
effectively disintegrated,
adding that there is yet no

1244
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:02,610
prospect of a near term. On
resolution to the crisis Sora

1245
01:15:02,610 --> 01:15:05,580
said the turbulence is actually
more severe than during the

1246
01:15:05,580 --> 01:15:08,940
Great Depression, comparing the
current situation to the demise

1247
01:15:08,970 --> 01:15:12,240
of the Soviet Union, he said the
bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in

1248
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:14,910
September marked a turning point
in the functioning of the

1249
01:15:14,910 --> 01:15:17,160
market, we witnessed the
collapse of the financial

1250
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:20,550
system. So take that and stick
it in your head.

1251
01:15:21,630 --> 01:15:23,070
Well, hopefully he's wrong.

1252
01:15:23,940 --> 01:15:26,280
He's been pretty right about a
lot of things. Of course, if

1253
01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:29,430
you're actually in control of
some of it, then it's easy to be

1254
01:15:29,430 --> 01:15:30,000
right.

1255
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:34,680
He also may be saying that
because it might be a buying

1256
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:35,520
opportunity.

1257
01:15:36,420 --> 01:15:40,530
Hey, John, why don't you take
that $80 that we've been donated

1258
01:15:40,530 --> 01:15:44,280
so far to the curry Dvorak
library and invest it wisely.

1259
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:47,520
You think we've hit the bottom?
My friend? Is that what you're

1260
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:47,880
saying?

1261
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:51,600
Well, I mean, it seems to me one
of the things you want to do is

1262
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:54,420
if you have a lot of money, and
you're running a hedge fund type

1263
01:15:54,420 --> 01:15:58,620
operations, you want to key if
you if the market is depressed,

1264
01:16:01,050 --> 01:16:04,650
you know, or oversold, that
you'd want to make, push it down

1265
01:16:04,650 --> 01:16:08,160
to, as hard as you can. Because
if you if you move the product

1266
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:11,790
markets, typically as if you
have a lot of money, you move

1267
01:16:11,790 --> 01:16:15,600
the market just by buying in.
And it which is not good,

1268
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:18,030
because you want to really you
know, you want to have something

1269
01:16:18,030 --> 01:16:22,890
where where it can soak it up
like a sponge, as opposed to you

1270
01:16:22,890 --> 01:16:26,040
know, that I was people. This is
what happens in Horowitz and I

1271
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,530
were talking about this. This is
what happens when people play

1272
01:16:28,590 --> 01:16:31,050
paper trading, you know, they
just want to practice.

1273
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:35,160
I heard this discussion. It was
very funny about the pink slips.

1274
01:16:35,430 --> 01:16:38,400
Were piano trading penny stocks.
Yeah, of course. But that's the

1275
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:41,520
way it's all set up is you you
you practice, you practice you

1276
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,040
trade. You're like, oh, man, I'm
doing so great. I'm making

1277
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:47,760
6070 $100,000. And then you do
it for real money and you lose

1278
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:48,270
your shirt.

1279
01:16:48,930 --> 01:16:52,140
Yeah. Just sweat. It's the way

1280
01:16:52,140 --> 01:16:55,530
it is. Yeah, we've all done it.
We've all been there. We've all

1281
01:16:55,530 --> 01:16:58,740
done the backtrader. That's
another one. Yeah, test your

1282
01:16:58,740 --> 01:17:01,500
strategies with back trades. So
you can actually see how much

1283
01:17:01,500 --> 01:17:04,260
money you would have made if you
had implemented your strategy.

1284
01:17:04,260 --> 01:17:05,160
That's my favorite.

1285
01:17:05,550 --> 01:17:09,360
Yeah, it's a classic. So anyway,
the so guy like Soros, you know,

1286
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:12,300
to get to do anything he has to
have, you know, it has to be

1287
01:17:12,300 --> 01:17:14,880
this sponge condition where it's
just can soak it up. And then

1288
01:17:14,910 --> 01:17:18,030
once it's stabilized, and it
starts going up, you that's

1289
01:17:18,030 --> 01:17:20,400
where you make all your, you
know, make serious money. But,

1290
01:17:20,820 --> 01:17:23,070
you know, so I don't know. Yeah,
I don't know if you can trust

1291
01:17:23,070 --> 01:17:26,070
him. You know, that's the
problem. I mean, I admired him,

1292
01:17:26,100 --> 01:17:29,460
he's the one who, who brought in
Greenberger to talk about the

1293
01:17:29,460 --> 01:17:33,660
oil prices in front of Congress,
which, which kicked off the

1294
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:36,540
collapse of the price of oil,
because once the scam was

1295
01:17:36,750 --> 01:17:39,390
realized, the next thing you
know, which, by the way, still

1296
01:17:39,390 --> 01:17:41,610
people still say what was
shortage, you know, in their

1297
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:45,780
peak oil, you know, that all
that bullshit was like revealed

1298
01:17:45,780 --> 01:17:48,300
to be a fraud. And of course,
people still don't know that. I

1299
01:17:48,300 --> 01:17:51,150
don't know what why the media
doesn't get around to telling

1300
01:17:51,150 --> 01:17:55,290
them but so he I mean, he's been
in the in the game here, and

1301
01:17:55,290 --> 01:17:58,170
they're trying to do what he
can. But you know, I don't

1302
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,200
believe this is true what he
says because it just doesn't

1303
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:05,160
make because it's not true. I
mean, it's not. It's not I mean,

1304
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,620
it's not in good shape, but it's
not collapsed.

1305
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:14,580
Well, I tend to agree with the
distinguished gentleman. Mr.

1306
01:18:14,580 --> 01:18:19,440
Soros, I think he's just he's
playing a sucker's game. Okay,

1307
01:18:20,100 --> 01:18:22,980
I'm still predicting 600 s&p and
6000 down.

1308
01:18:23,460 --> 01:18:26,280
Okay, predict what you want. Um,
this time, I'm not agreeing with

1309
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:30,180
you, like I did with a $200 oil
that's thrown back in my face

1310
01:18:30,180 --> 01:18:33,060
now. That's okay. No, just
casually said, Yeah, I guess it

1311
01:18:33,060 --> 01:18:34,170
could happen. Okay.

1312
01:18:36,750 --> 01:18:43,440
Berkshire Hathaway has just as a
data point there, has dropped to

1313
01:18:43,440 --> 01:18:46,080
almost 50% in the past year,
this is

1314
01:18:47,010 --> 01:18:49,410
the world's greatest investor
and world's greatest investor.

1315
01:18:51,150 --> 01:18:55,410
We talked briefly and this is I
realized that that you know, I

1316
01:18:55,410 --> 01:18:58,230
kind of glossed over this
myself, and how outraged you

1317
01:18:58,230 --> 01:19:04,530
were about it, when we spoke
about it last, the idea that the

1318
01:19:04,530 --> 01:19:07,590
government was going to start
taxing us by the mile using a

1319
01:19:07,590 --> 01:19:11,370
black box with a GPS and instead
of gasoline tax, you would pay

1320
01:19:11,370 --> 01:19:16,470
your taxes, of course, your
carbon taxes, etc. per mile that

1321
01:19:16,470 --> 01:19:19,980
you drove, and you really went
off on it. You're like, oh,

1322
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:22,830
that's never gonna happen. It's
crazy. It's outrageous and ice.

1323
01:19:22,830 --> 01:19:25,500
And I told you that this is
being implemented in several

1324
01:19:25,500 --> 01:19:31,320
countries. And I realized that,
you know, living in the UK and

1325
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:36,330
having lived in the Netherlands,
it was so easy for me to accept

1326
01:19:36,330 --> 01:19:40,080
the idea that no matter how
outrageous, I've already been

1327
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,540
conditioned, because I remember
hearing the story and I was

1328
01:19:42,540 --> 01:19:45,270
like, No, that's crazy man.
That's like such an invasion of

1329
01:19:45,270 --> 01:19:50,040
privacy, etc, etc. But I really
wasn't outraged because everyone

1330
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:52,170
over here is conditioned. I
think we're five years ahead of

1331
01:19:52,170 --> 01:19:54,300
the US. Everyone's just
conditioned like, okay, yeah,

1332
01:19:54,300 --> 01:19:57,060
they'll probably do that.
They'll probably implement that

1333
01:19:57,060 --> 01:19:59,640
and they will then it will
happen the United States even

1334
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:04,470
though course that story has
been denied by Robert Gibbs once

1335
01:20:04,470 --> 01:20:10,110
again. Because that was Rayleigh
hoods suggestion. And he did say

1336
01:20:10,110 --> 01:20:13,440
it to the press. And so now
it's, it's been pulled off the

1337
01:20:13,440 --> 01:20:15,690
table, but I think these are all
just little trial balloons.

1338
01:20:15,690 --> 01:20:18,600
They're going to do that. That's
for real. And let me mention one

1339
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:21,930
more thing while I'm on the
tracking shit. So I had

1340
01:20:21,930 --> 01:20:24,960
installed Google Maps. Now I
have how's your battery doing on

1341
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:29,880
your E? 71? We got them. You got
yours? Maybe three months after

1342
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:34,500
me? Yeah. Okay. How's the
battery life doing? Fine. I

1343
01:20:34,500 --> 01:20:39,060
mean, what's the two days for
four days? So I've got this e

1344
01:20:39,060 --> 01:20:43,470
71. I've had it longer than you
have. I've called very little on

1345
01:20:43,470 --> 01:20:46,650
it since we moved to this house
for two reasons. One, because it

1346
01:20:46,650 --> 01:20:48,810
doesn't really have T Mobile
doesn't have really great

1347
01:20:48,810 --> 01:20:53,310
reception down in the basement
where I am. So I have to put it

1348
01:20:53,310 --> 01:20:55,680
near the window. And so you
can't walk around that kind of

1349
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:58,830
defeats the purpose. So yeah,
and I usually use Skype and I

1350
01:20:58,830 --> 01:21:01,200
have it rigged up through the
system like I do now. So I can

1351
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:04,290
have people on the speakers and
you know, I can I can play sound

1352
01:21:04,290 --> 01:21:07,350
effects whenever I want to. It's
much more fun. So I don't use it

1353
01:21:07,350 --> 01:21:07,950
a lot. I

1354
01:21:08,250 --> 01:21:10,770
use sound effects in your
regular normal phone calls.

1355
01:21:10,890 --> 01:21:14,370
Oh, man on the conference calls.
Are you kidding me? We have the

1356
01:21:14,370 --> 01:21:15,570
video conference calls.

1357
01:21:19,950 --> 01:21:21,270
Okay, all right. All right.

1358
01:21:22,170 --> 01:21:26,460
So I've got the use of that one.
Yeah, that's I don't use that

1359
01:21:26,460 --> 01:21:31,290
one. Yeah, actually, I use. I
use this one. There are white

1360
01:21:31,290 --> 01:21:33,270
folks. And then there are
ignorant motherfuckers. Like

1361
01:21:33,270 --> 01:21:33,540
you?

1362
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:35,370
Yeah, well, that's a good one.
Yeah.

1363
01:21:35,970 --> 01:21:42,270
So I had installed Google Maps
with the latitude. functionality

1364
01:21:42,300 --> 01:21:45,330
when I went to see the Queen,
right, a couple days before, and

1365
01:21:45,330 --> 01:21:49,380
I had installed this and, and I
learned that it was pretty easy

1366
01:21:49,380 --> 01:21:52,170
to quit the application, but it
was actually still running

1367
01:21:52,170 --> 01:21:57,120
because it asks you it does ask
you Do you know? And oftentimes,

1368
01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:58,710
you'll be it'll be like, yes,
you know, because you think it's

1369
01:21:58,710 --> 01:22:01,050
saying Do you want to quit? Do
you really want to quit? Because

1370
01:22:01,050 --> 01:22:03,690
that's kind of the last message
you get. But this message says,

1371
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:08,580
Do you want to keep sharing your
location? So I had I had been

1372
01:22:08,580 --> 01:22:14,580
trapped by that once before. But
then I got, I didn't like that.

1373
01:22:14,580 --> 01:22:17,670
And I'm like, I'm just going to
uninstall this thing, because

1374
01:22:17,670 --> 01:22:21,000
it's bugging me that, that I
actually flipped through that.

1375
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:26,070
And again, who knows, ever since
I've uninstalled it, my battery

1376
01:22:26,100 --> 01:22:31,860
runs out very quickly. So I
bought a new battery, just to

1377
01:22:31,860 --> 01:22:32,130
prove,

1378
01:22:33,210 --> 01:22:35,190
right? That is something going
on. And I

1379
01:22:35,190 --> 01:22:39,840
believe that it is making
connections. It's PI's a

1380
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:44,040
possibility that it's making
connections. And doing something

1381
01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:47,820
because something has changed.
Because the battery is literally

1382
01:22:47,820 --> 01:22:51,720
running out overnight is next to
my bed. It's you know, it's

1383
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:55,470
always been full bars in the
morning. And I wake up and it's

1384
01:22:55,470 --> 01:22:58,920
either almost empty, or it's
giving me a low battery warning.

1385
01:22:58,950 --> 01:23:01,890
And it's a brand new battery
that I put in just just to prove

1386
01:23:01,890 --> 01:23:04,170
that you know that something was
going on that is not the

1387
01:23:04,170 --> 01:23:04,680
battery.

1388
01:23:05,070 --> 01:23:08,070
Well, how about this for an
idea? I think you're probably

1389
01:23:08,070 --> 01:23:10,830
right. Anyway, I'm reminded so
you tell the story course of

1390
01:23:10,830 --> 01:23:14,250
like bit torrents. You know how
these people get burned, because

1391
01:23:14,250 --> 01:23:16,260
they have a bit torrent going.
They don't know that there's

1392
01:23:16,260 --> 01:23:19,260
doing file sharing, you know,
because you know BitTorrent is

1393
01:23:19,470 --> 01:23:22,350
you download something, but
you're uploading tonight,

1394
01:23:22,350 --> 01:23:24,930
whether you know it or not, or
those old music sharing sites,

1395
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:27,330
you know, where you had, you
know, you're basically always

1396
01:23:27,330 --> 01:23:30,150
online, you didn't know it, you
know, you were

1397
01:23:30,389 --> 01:23:33,449
sure? Oh, yeah, sure, the System
Tray stuff, all kinds of there's

1398
01:23:33,449 --> 01:23:36,779
all kinds of particularly on
Windows and you get any, almost

1399
01:23:36,779 --> 01:23:40,199
any bit torrent client and if
you quit the client, but it

1400
01:23:40,199 --> 01:23:40,919
keeps sharing,

1401
01:23:41,429 --> 01:23:43,439
right, and your next thing you
know, the feds are knocking on

1402
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:44,729
the door, you know, exactly.

1403
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:48,750
So very well here, you got some
gold in there.

1404
01:23:49,679 --> 01:23:55,739
So, son, so you're gonna, what
you have to do obviously, is you

1405
01:23:55,739 --> 01:24:01,019
have to pull your memory little
memory card out. And just

1406
01:24:01,019 --> 01:24:03,779
forget, put it in like one of
those little holders, they

1407
01:24:03,779 --> 01:24:06,059
there's little micro SD cards,
you stick the little bitty card

1408
01:24:06,059 --> 01:24:08,279
into a bigger card that you put
in your computer, just erase the

1409
01:24:08,279 --> 01:24:10,979
damn thing. Now there was all
your applications have got to

1410
01:24:10,979 --> 01:24:15,689
go. I mean, make backups of your
address book, and then probably

1411
01:24:15,689 --> 01:24:20,189
do the same thing to your SIM
card. And once the SIM card in

1412
01:24:20,189 --> 01:24:22,169
that little card erase, I'll bet
you the problem goes away

1413
01:24:22,199 --> 01:24:24,179
because it can't there's nothing
in terms of the phone that I

1414
01:24:24,179 --> 01:24:27,629
know of that would that would
that would unless it's got some

1415
01:24:27,629 --> 01:24:31,199
sort of I can't think of
anything.

1416
01:24:31,350 --> 01:24:35,160
And I'll tell you that I think I
think there was one point during

1417
01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:39,060
the day where I looked at my
phone, and I saw the 3g, I saw

1418
01:24:39,060 --> 01:24:41,160
that there was a network
connection and I went What the

1419
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:45,450
hell is that? That I'm and I'm
switching around, I had no apps

1420
01:24:45,450 --> 01:24:50,340
open. I went to No, I had Google
Maps was D installed by them and

1421
01:24:50,340 --> 01:24:51,780
I have no idea what was
connecting.

1422
01:24:52,260 --> 01:24:56,790
Okay, I have one other
possibility your phone's been

1423
01:24:56,790 --> 01:24:59,760
compromised and it's basically
on listening to you all the time

1424
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:01,950
and it's relaying the
information to someone that's

1425
01:25:01,950 --> 01:25:06,870
possible. Looks like it can
happen. Yeah. Okay, I know what

1426
01:25:06,870 --> 01:25:10,290
I know it would defeat that
immediately. What's that? Turn

1427
01:25:10,290 --> 01:25:11,880
the phone off and turn the phone
off?

1428
01:25:11,909 --> 01:25:14,969
Yeah. I tend to actually take
the battery out. I think we have

1429
01:25:14,969 --> 01:25:17,339
to take the battery out to be
100%. Sure.

1430
01:25:17,939 --> 01:25:20,309
Yeah, I guess if it was done
right, you could you could turn

1431
01:25:20,309 --> 01:25:21,659
the phone off, I would still be
let me

1432
01:25:21,660 --> 01:25:26,160
let me just, Hey, guys, it's
okay. I'm harmless. Just talk to

1433
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:29,040
him. Okay, that's true. We got a
couple we got a couple more

1434
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:31,680
stories, John, just just maybe
even stuff we'll talk about on

1435
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:37,290
Thursday. Euro just, which is
the EU's judicial Cooperation

1436
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:42,600
Agency is taking the lead in
finding ways to help police and

1437
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:47,850
prosecutors across Europe to
wiretap Skype calls. Because

1438
01:25:47,850 --> 01:25:51,960
they're, they're apparently
upset that they can't listen to

1439
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:55,170
us on Skype. And I just tuned
into the stream, it's a lot

1440
01:25:55,170 --> 01:25:55,590
easier.

1441
01:25:57,270 --> 01:25:59,940
Right. And, by the way, if
you're listening at your

1442
01:25:59,940 --> 01:26:05,670
intelligence agency, please
dvorak.org/n A, we could use the

1443
01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:11,700
donations for the curry divorce
library. Because I have the

1444
01:26:11,700 --> 01:26:17,820
album art for it. We've got to
mention the wacky ass blue

1445
01:26:17,820 --> 01:26:21,150
Mustang at Denver International
Airport as another piece of the

1446
01:26:21,150 --> 01:26:25,740
puzzle of the weird art. Of
course, a part of this thing

1447
01:26:25,740 --> 01:26:28,950
fell on its creator and killed
him. Just to make it an even

1448
01:26:28,950 --> 01:26:29,790
better story.

1449
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:31,020
Supposedly.

1450
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:35,580
Supposedly, what do you think is
like, like a Trojan horse and

1451
01:26:35,580 --> 01:26:38,130
the belly opens up and all kinds
of things pop out.

1452
01:26:38,730 --> 01:26:41,040
And it could be some insight
that they didn't want anyone to

1453
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:44,160
know about like a transmitter or
some sort of a who knows what.

1454
01:26:44,610 --> 01:26:48,210
And you know, fractal antennas
designed for something specific

1455
01:26:48,210 --> 01:26:51,480
and this guy was going to
mention that in the interview

1456
01:26:51,480 --> 01:26:53,580
they were going to do with him
after he finished the horse and

1457
01:26:53,580 --> 01:26:54,510
so they had to kill him.

1458
01:26:58,890 --> 01:27:02,280
We laugh but we're not really
we're not really that happy

1459
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:07,050
about it. And a piece for the
just for fun because of course

1460
01:27:07,050 --> 01:27:11,460
tonight is the at first Annual
Academy Awards, which will

1461
01:27:11,460 --> 01:27:13,860
probably right at low ratings,
because again,

1462
01:27:14,820 --> 01:27:17,010
there's a theme, you know, for
these awards called the year of

1463
01:27:17,010 --> 01:27:17,670
the dog.

1464
01:27:19,170 --> 01:27:21,180
Really, because of Slumdog

1465
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:26,310
Yeah, that that's a pun, right?
Because it's a and yeah, it's

1466
01:27:26,310 --> 01:27:29,610
also this is ridiculous. These
movies are boring.

1467
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:33,540
Well, this is the point. Every
single year they do these really

1468
01:27:33,540 --> 01:27:36,330
artsy fartsy movies which by the
way, some of them are really

1469
01:27:36,330 --> 01:27:39,210
good but they're not like the
big blockbuster hits the

1470
01:27:39,210 --> 01:27:42,120
audience doesn't show up for the
award show people it's like you

1471
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:45,540
know, like, oh, well, the you
know, I guess the numbers are

1472
01:27:45,540 --> 01:27:49,830
down again. Well, of course
because boring. Anyways, leaked

1473
01:27:49,830 --> 01:27:53,640
out on the interwebs is the list
of winners if you care to care

1474
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:56,910
to hear who's going to win would
like to Boiler Yeah,

1475
01:27:56,940 --> 01:28:00,090
wait a minute, maybe I thought
that these things were sealed by

1476
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:02,130
good housekeeping or somebody
and the

1477
01:28:02,430 --> 01:28:04,140
Martha Stewart good house. Okay,

1478
01:28:04,140 --> 01:28:06,120
we'll check. Okay, here's what
we're gonna do. We're gonna

1479
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:09,090
reveal. We're gonna check the
bullshitter now.

1480
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:12,210
Do you want do you want to take
a quick wager? Hi, baby.

1481
01:28:12,420 --> 01:28:14,730
Welcome. Thank you, darling.

1482
01:28:15,090 --> 01:28:19,290
Yeah, I'm gonna wager that these
I'll make a Five buck bet that

1483
01:28:19,290 --> 01:28:20,550
these are bogus.

1484
01:28:20,610 --> 01:28:24,450
Okay. All right. So let's just
do the big ones. Actor in a

1485
01:28:24,450 --> 01:28:25,920
Leading Role Who do you think's
gonna win?

1486
01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:29,820
Who's nominated again?

1487
01:28:30,510 --> 01:28:34,110
I know. I don't give you that
they just give you the names.

1488
01:28:34,140 --> 01:28:38,370
I'll tell you what is the
wrestler Jimmy Rory McIlroy.

1489
01:28:38,370 --> 01:28:41,460
Mickey Rourke exactly. Okay,
then you'll also know Actor in a

1490
01:28:41,460 --> 01:28:46,530
Supporting Role male I don't
remember who of course, Heath

1491
01:28:46,530 --> 01:28:47,790
Ledger Of course, he's got to
get it.

1492
01:28:48,629 --> 01:28:51,149
Right. Yeah, exactly. Because
he's dead because he's dead

1493
01:28:51,420 --> 01:28:54,360
Actress in a Leading Role. You
know who that's going to be?

1494
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:59,700
Who? Kate Winslet Oh yeah. Right
deboarding everything and then

1495
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:02,550
and then it gets a little more
esoteric so I'll just give you

1496
01:29:02,550 --> 01:29:06,150
Actress in a Supporting Role
would be Amy Adams who I do not

1497
01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:12,600
know. Best Picture Slumdog
Millionaire. What other Okay,

1498
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:13,320
here's here's one of the

1499
01:29:13,740 --> 01:29:15,240
best director gives Best Dressed

1500
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:16,770
director Hold on.

1501
01:29:19,140 --> 01:29:20,910
Interesting this could be go
anywhere.

1502
01:29:20,940 --> 01:29:28,080
So cinematography, cause Well,
it's interesting.

1503
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:29,790
You don't have Best Director.

1504
01:29:30,180 --> 01:29:34,140
I'm looking how come I can't see
it. This picture cinema?

1505
01:29:35,070 --> 01:29:38,220
Cinematography, is that
following the cinematography? No

1506
01:29:38,220 --> 01:29:41,280
direct directing direct here it
is Danny Boyle for Slumdog

1507
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:45,090
Millionaire. How about this
documentary feature? Okay,

1508
01:29:45,090 --> 01:29:47,910
that's one that if that's right
then you know the list was good.

1509
01:29:47,910 --> 01:29:48,180
No,

1510
01:29:48,180 --> 01:29:50,910
it's not no because there's one
guy that's so far out in front

1511
01:29:50,910 --> 01:29:53,340
on that one the one that did
does that did a documentary

1512
01:29:53,340 --> 01:29:54,540
about Cambodia.

1513
01:29:54,690 --> 01:29:59,370
Oh, well, according to this it's
man on a wire. Oh, okay. She's

1514
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:02,370
might be Isn't that the about
the French guy that walked

1515
01:30:02,370 --> 01:30:05,790
between the Twin Towers? I don't
know. Yeah, I think so. Okay, so

1516
01:30:05,820 --> 01:30:08,400
man on a wire. If that if that
wins, then we'll know that this

1517
01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:10,740
list was pretty good if all the
other ones are correct, but we

1518
01:30:10,740 --> 01:30:11,070
have to

1519
01:30:11,250 --> 01:30:14,640
post the list on the notes. Yep.
And then we can make the

1520
01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:17,880
comparison and see what what
didn't work. So, you know, I

1521
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:21,720
think a series of good guesses,
you know, because there's been,

1522
01:30:21,840 --> 01:30:23,970
you know, they've had enough
award shows already. And they

1523
01:30:23,970 --> 01:30:26,910
typically, you know, there's a
percentage of these, you know,

1524
01:30:26,910 --> 01:30:30,810
there's very rarely a surprise
that, you know, you wouldn't

1525
01:30:30,810 --> 01:30:34,830
have guessed. And this year, it
looks like it's kind of rigged,

1526
01:30:34,890 --> 01:30:36,690
especially for the actors and
actresses.

1527
01:30:37,770 --> 01:30:40,440
And then as we close down the
show with one hour and 30

1528
01:30:40,440 --> 01:30:45,030
minutes, one final piece of news
that just made me chuckle coming

1529
01:30:45,030 --> 01:30:49,170
in from the Netherlands. As you
know, I'm I've been harping for

1530
01:30:49,170 --> 01:30:55,230
quite a while I'm against the
vac the Gardasil HPV

1531
01:30:55,260 --> 01:30:59,490
vaccination, I feel that it's
not proven, there's children who

1532
01:30:59,490 --> 01:31:03,090
have died from this, it's, I
believe, it's the pharmaceutical

1533
01:31:03,090 --> 01:31:06,630
industry just trying to make
tons of money with in cahoots

1534
01:31:06,630 --> 01:31:12,090
with the government. And so they
you know, many nationalized or

1535
01:31:12,090 --> 01:31:16,320
social socialized healthcare
systems are buying this from the

1536
01:31:16,320 --> 01:31:21,510
big pharmaceuticals, and then
they give it free to citizens of

1537
01:31:21,510 --> 01:31:24,330
the country, which is this other
scam has already done right. So

1538
01:31:24,330 --> 01:31:27,540
they they can, somehow they
convinced the medical

1539
01:31:27,540 --> 01:31:29,910
authorities, this has to be in
the package, because when it

1540
01:31:29,910 --> 01:31:34,680
goes save millions of girls from
cervical cancer, and so the

1541
01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:38,610
government then buys it, they
and this is a very expensive

1542
01:31:38,610 --> 01:31:41,310
process, it consists of three
vaccinations, you have to come

1543
01:31:41,310 --> 01:31:45,300
back three times or come back
twice. After the initial one. I

1544
01:31:45,300 --> 01:31:49,470
believe the total package is
four or $500 per patient. So

1545
01:31:49,470 --> 01:31:52,470
this is a big ticket item. And
well, it's quite, you know, the

1546
01:31:52,470 --> 01:31:56,610
side note is it's killing
people. Thank you, darling. So

1547
01:31:56,610 --> 01:31:59,580
in the Netherlands now because
of course there is a thank

1548
