1
00:00:01,709 --> 00:00:04,409
Once again, it's time for the
programme that emanates to you

2
00:00:04,409 --> 00:00:08,369
from two separate corners of
Gitmo nation. It's Sunday

3
00:00:08,369 --> 00:00:11,279
afternoon. It's time once again
for no agenda in the United

4
00:00:11,279 --> 00:00:12,629
Kingdom. I'm Adam curry.

5
00:00:13,770 --> 00:00:18,090
And I'm John C. Dvorak here in
Northern Silicon Valley, a place

6
00:00:18,090 --> 00:00:22,890
that doesn't exist also known as
get mo nation. West. Yes, I'm

7
00:00:22,890 --> 00:00:26,790
getting getting Gitmo nation
east, your Gitmo nation West,

8
00:00:26,820 --> 00:00:28,110
which is our new mantra.

9
00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:32,880
Yeah, and it makes nothing but
sense that all my Twitter

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,430
followers have all agreed it's
not not a bad term and probably

11
00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:39,480
a propos

12
00:00:39,689 --> 00:00:42,119
right this is the this is the
word that we've been looking for

13
00:00:42,119 --> 00:00:46,139
for the fascist state. Instead
of using fascism, we're just

14
00:00:46,139 --> 00:00:47,579
going to use get mo nation.

15
00:00:48,389 --> 00:00:51,329
Yeah. Or nouveau fascism

16
00:00:51,329 --> 00:00:55,079
or now gizmo nation is Gitmo
nation. Let's keep it at that. I

17
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:55,499
love it.

18
00:00:56,430 --> 00:00:59,490
Anyway, so what's going on?
Yeah, well, you came into the US

19
00:00:59,490 --> 00:01:03,300
and then you left again. Yeah.
That means you get got to you

20
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:06,840
get to give us another one of
your fabulous Tales from the

21
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,830
TSA. Yes, I do. So we need a
like a bumper for that.

22
00:01:11,370 --> 00:01:16,140
Like a jingle? Yeah. Okay, folks
out there. Oh, wait, actually,

23
00:01:16,860 --> 00:01:19,830
before before I tell you that
listen to this, this is kind of

24
00:01:19,830 --> 00:01:20,220
funny.

25
00:01:22,770 --> 00:01:26,310
Isn't mark up here in the creek
and just got finished listening

26
00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:31,170
to Episode 42 have no agenda.
And I just loved it. And getting

27
00:01:31,170 --> 00:01:33,900
better and better. Every time. I
think it can't get any better.

28
00:01:33,930 --> 00:01:37,230
Something happens. And in this
case, along comes conspiracy

29
00:01:37,230 --> 00:01:42,390
theory, Adam. Now we have the
prospect of listening to DeVore

30
00:01:42,390 --> 00:01:46,380
at playing Scully to Adams
Mulder, and it's just

31
00:01:46,380 --> 00:01:50,430
tremendously funny in the last
episode cracked me up. So keep

32
00:01:50,430 --> 00:01:52,920
up the good work, guys. And
remember, John, even the

33
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,840
reptilians they work for us.

34
00:01:58,500 --> 00:01:59,520
How much do you love that?

35
00:02:00,570 --> 00:02:03,270
Yeah, unfortunately, the people
out there don't realise how

36
00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:04,650
close to reality.

37
00:02:04,830 --> 00:02:09,900
It is completely true. Yeah, so
coming into the states. This was

38
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:13,320
a week ago on Sunday. Yeah, cuz
I'm now back in the UK. I just

39
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:18,090
got in a couple hours ago.
Coming in hand off the passport,

40
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,380
I did not. I, you know, I'd sit
on the daily source code, maybe

41
00:02:22,380 --> 00:02:25,560
I should disable my RFID chip
and see what happens. And people

42
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,840
strongly advised against that.
Why? Because it's a it's a

43
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,530
crime. Oh, you're not allowed to
destroy any part of your

44
00:02:34,530 --> 00:02:38,100
passport. Although I do know how
to do it. I do know the best

45
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:42,780
ways, obviously. Anyway, so I
didn't do that. So I'm a went

46
00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:45,810
into the RFID scanner flip the
screen comes up, I looked at the

47
00:02:45,810 --> 00:02:49,500
agent, female agent. And she's
tapping away. And I said, you

48
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:51,540
know, you might just want to
call the team leader or so I

49
00:02:51,540 --> 00:02:54,840
just go straight down that now.
Now I got an attitude, right?

50
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,270
Kill it just go straight on the
secondary know where the little

51
00:02:57,270 --> 00:03:02,910
room is. Hold on a sec. And I
can't actually do this from here

52
00:03:02,910 --> 00:03:05,880
is what she said. So she picks
up the phone calls another agent

53
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,060
comes over male agent. And
they're both looking at the

54
00:03:09,060 --> 00:03:13,140
screen. And they mark an M on my
landing coordinates. And you

55
00:03:13,140 --> 00:03:15,600
have to go to secondary now you
can just go through to to the

56
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,870
regular secondary, which would
normally be my tertiary

57
00:03:18,870 --> 00:03:22,590
screening. So that was sorry,

58
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:26,790
I'm sorry. So the process is
there's actually two secondaries

59
00:03:26,790 --> 00:03:28,740
and one of them you are going
through two different

60
00:03:28,740 --> 00:03:31,200
secondaries before and now you
wanted to go to one Yeah, well,

61
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,030
when you enter the United
States, you always go through

62
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:35,430
customs, then you pick up your
bag, and then you have to

63
00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:37,770
actually leave. And that's
really the checkpoint, right?

64
00:03:37,770 --> 00:03:40,320
That's where they have all those
counters and they pick people

65
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,510
out and they go through the bags
and see if they have dairy

66
00:03:42,510 --> 00:03:47,970
products or other contraband. So
that's normally kind of a

67
00:03:47,970 --> 00:03:50,400
secondary for everybody. That's
really where the, you know,

68
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,460
whatever, whatever at that point
has been marked on your landing

69
00:03:53,460 --> 00:03:55,950
card, if there's any action that
needs to be taken appropriately,

70
00:03:55,950 --> 00:04:00,600
or they can just fish you out.
Right. Okay. But there's a there

71
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,510
is an actual secondary, which is
a little room all the way off to

72
00:04:03,510 --> 00:04:07,650
the left in the corner, which is
kind of like kind of like a

73
00:04:07,650 --> 00:04:14,250
waiting room at the at your high
school infirmary. You know what

74
00:04:14,250 --> 00:04:16,920
I mean? Where you got like,
yeah, the nurse Yeah, the nerdy

75
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,410
kind of like folding chairs, and
there's a little, a little

76
00:04:19,410 --> 00:04:21,630
square there, and a couple
agents sit there and they're

77
00:04:21,630 --> 00:04:24,300
going through shit and you just
sit there and you feel like a

78
00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:28,590
horrible person. So I didn't
have to go through that. But of

79
00:04:28,590 --> 00:04:32,430
course, I had a had a marking on
my, on my, on my landing cards.

80
00:04:32,430 --> 00:04:35,790
So I showed it to the agent and
you know, and the agent picks up

81
00:04:35,790 --> 00:04:37,920
the little blue pouch. I know
the whole drill and I walk

82
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,610
straight on and, and this this
agent was really nice, you know?

83
00:04:41,610 --> 00:04:44,550
And he's like, Yeah, well, John,
you know, then they know me by

84
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:48,150
now they know the story. They
know me. And so I just asked him

85
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:50,520
I'm just asking him shit, you
know, point blank. I'm saying

86
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,320
what's the M Ford? Is that for
like money? My favourite. No,

87
00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,960
no, no, no. I said, Well, what
is it? Master said I know stands

88
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,960
for match. Okay, this is the
Adam curry from Nebraska I've

89
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,240
been hearing about and now he's
smiling, right? Because he's

90
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,390
looking at the terminal. He
says, Yeah, and so he's actually

91
00:05:09,390 --> 00:05:11,430
letting a little bit more
through than I think he probably

92
00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:16,710
should. Yeah. And I said, Well
look, you know, can't you guys

93
00:05:16,710 --> 00:05:20,310
like just take me off the list
says well here's the problem.

94
00:05:20,610 --> 00:05:24,990
The problem is this other Adam
curry is on the watch of the you

95
00:05:24,990 --> 00:05:28,380
know, on our list to you know if
he tries to enter through this

96
00:05:28,380 --> 00:05:31,560
port. And I guess he's I don't
know if he's in Nebraska or not.

97
00:05:32,910 --> 00:05:36,180
So if we take Adam all Adam
Curry's off, then we'll never

98
00:05:36,210 --> 00:05:38,100
you know, have a match. But
yeah, you know, it's a different

99
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,770
birthday. Now. Apparently, their
systems just aren't

100
00:05:40,770 --> 00:05:43,170
sophisticated enough or they
don't want to take any risks

101
00:05:43,170 --> 00:05:45,810
that there could be a different
birthdate used and some kind of,

102
00:05:46,110 --> 00:05:49,800
you know, like, the evil Adam
could kill me and then use my

103
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:55,320
passport. Evil Adam. So I said,
Well, why did you arrest this

104
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,050
guy already? We know he's in
Nebraska. You know, we know he

105
00:05:58,050 --> 00:06:00,870
has my name. We know that he's
younger than I am. arrest the

106
00:06:00,870 --> 00:06:05,220
guy already. And he's like, he's
like, Well, you know, the, the

107
00:06:05,220 --> 00:06:10,800
agency that's interested in him.
doesn't actually want to arrest

108
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,590
him. They they assume most of
the watching him. They want to

109
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:18,150
see what he does. He says Yeah,
something like that. So there

110
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:18,630
you go.

111
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,470
Well, I guess that's never gonna
end.

112
00:06:23,459 --> 00:06:26,519
Not until they grab this guy.
And what the hell is he doing?

113
00:06:27,239 --> 00:06:29,819
He's probably not doing anything
when we should started doing it.

114
00:06:29,819 --> 00:06:30,779
Why don't we do it?

115
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:33,870
Let's just find him. Let's just
find him

116
00:06:33,870 --> 00:06:38,850
and find out who he is. Yeah.
Maybe he's just some schmuck.

117
00:06:39,030 --> 00:06:45,240
Well, I heard that he was
driving a red pickup truck. In

118
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,450
Nebraska. That was the latest
report. I have. I agree. I think

119
00:06:48,450 --> 00:06:51,030
we should crank this up a little
bit because it's just too

120
00:06:51,030 --> 00:06:52,740
interesting. Let's find out what
he's done.

121
00:06:53,579 --> 00:06:55,769
I mean, are they gonna let this
guy float around forever? I

122
00:06:55,769 --> 00:06:59,219
mean, if they're interested in
him for how many years? Is this

123
00:06:59,219 --> 00:07:01,829
gonna go on before they either
pick him up? Or what? Are they

124
00:07:01,829 --> 00:07:04,739
waiting for him to do? punch
somebody? Oh, my goodness. I

125
00:07:04,739 --> 00:07:05,129
don't know. Well,

126
00:07:05,130 --> 00:07:07,320
they're clearly they're waiting
him to for him to commit some

127
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,960
kind of felony. They're. They're
snooping on him.

128
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,910
I guess. What did he do before
that he'd be on this list in the

129
00:07:14,910 --> 00:07:18,270
first place that they see a
protester? Is he like a guy in

130
00:07:18,270 --> 00:07:21,810
the world's workers prop party?
I don't know. I really my

131
00:07:21,810 --> 00:07:23,220
curiosity is getting the best
demand.

132
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,110
All right, we need our we need
our audience to help us with

133
00:07:28,110 --> 00:07:30,090
that one. If you're in Nebraska,
look for this guy.

134
00:07:30,809 --> 00:07:33,329
Now, are we sure he was in
Nebraska was in North Dakota?

135
00:07:33,449 --> 00:07:37,319
No, I'm pretty sure it was
Nebraska. Couldn't Nebraska is

136
00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:39,689
going to be whatever

137
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,650
it does, it does of course,
uncover an inherent flaw in the

138
00:07:43,650 --> 00:07:47,580
system. You know, so Adam curry
is not a very common name.

139
00:07:47,580 --> 00:07:49,800
Although there was a there's a
window basketball player named

140
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,770
Adam curry. There was some 17
year old kid who died of

141
00:07:52,770 --> 00:07:55,500
leukaemia recently named Adam
curry. I know that because you

142
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:58,890
know, that shows up in my
personal ego filter. But you

143
00:07:58,890 --> 00:08:03,150
know, almost any name you can
think of, is going to have a

144
00:08:03,150 --> 00:08:07,590
whole bunch of people who have
the same name. And that just

145
00:08:07,770 --> 00:08:11,070
barely exposes the whole problem
is like, okay, they can't take

146
00:08:11,070 --> 00:08:14,490
the one name off. Because, you
know, they're not mashing on

147
00:08:14,490 --> 00:08:16,650
anything else. But the name
first name, last name.

148
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:21,299
Yeah, so that means that guy if
he wants to sneak out of the

149
00:08:21,299 --> 00:08:23,639
country, all they have to do is
get you know, go down to Los

150
00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:26,369
Angeles, get a phoney passport,
where they sell them on the

151
00:08:26,369 --> 00:08:30,869
streets, change his name to Fred
Schmuck, and then walk through

152
00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:34,439
customs. We can just walk across
the border in Canada or

153
00:08:34,439 --> 00:08:37,079
whatever. But his driver's
licence? I don't know.

154
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,900
Speaking of Canada, do you know
that we signed an agreement with

155
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:48,270
Canada? An arms and an arms a
military agreement.

156
00:08:49,740 --> 00:08:51,660
But what does it say? I'm gonna
look

157
00:08:51,660 --> 00:08:58,080
at this right now. This was in
the times over here. Shit,

158
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:03,240
that's not it. You just find it.
Wow, why the hell is it now I'd

159
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,700
sit and you know, I'd done all
this prep work. There you go

160
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:10,500
shows me right. We're trying to
prep something. Now, apparently,

161
00:09:10,530 --> 00:09:15,390
in February, some kind of
agreement was signed between the

162
00:09:15,390 --> 00:09:20,970
US and Canada that should we
have any any problems that will

163
00:09:20,970 --> 00:09:24,420
help each other out kind of like
a NATO type deal, I guess that

164
00:09:24,420 --> 00:09:28,230
our armed forces would then
fight with with each other

165
00:09:28,260 --> 00:09:29,160
they're calling it

166
00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:31,500
maybe that's just for military
you know, if they didn't martial

167
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:31,860
law,

168
00:09:33,150 --> 00:09:37,020
only if that happens, and we
need some extra troops. Exactly.

169
00:09:39,210 --> 00:09:40,740
And just thought it was
interesting. You didn't hear

170
00:09:40,740 --> 00:09:41,700
about that anywhere.

171
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,300
We don't hear about anything.
Let's face it. In fact, it took

172
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:48,480
a while before the that Russia
would by the way. We were remiss

173
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,680
last week not to discuss

174
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,169
the Georgia Yeah, that was
really dumb. That was really

175
00:09:52,169 --> 00:09:56,639
stupid of us. Not to miss that.
You actually I want to talk

176
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:58,439
about that. You want to talk
about that. Now we want to talk

177
00:09:58,439 --> 00:10:00,809
about Clinton because Clinton's
kind of hot on my list.

178
00:10:02,070 --> 00:10:04,350
Let's talk about the other thing
first, because the Clinton thing

179
00:10:04,350 --> 00:10:09,570
is, you know, okay, it gets too
nutty to start the show off with

180
00:10:09,930 --> 00:10:10,710
too many people.

181
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:18,060
All right. So I guess when we're
talking about Georgia, and I

182
00:10:18,060 --> 00:10:20,490
have found a couple of really
cool other cool things to look

183
00:10:20,490 --> 00:10:22,350
at, and to read.

184
00:10:23,220 --> 00:10:26,130
Well, I've been listening to the
right wing talk radio shows, and

185
00:10:26,130 --> 00:10:28,770
it started off as you know,
Russia is the bad guy, Russia is

186
00:10:28,770 --> 00:10:31,350
the bad guy. That's the litany.
That's what the talking points

187
00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:34,080
are, you know, they came in,
they're trying to assert

188
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,660
themselves or trying to, you
know, make sure that none of

189
00:10:36,660 --> 00:10:39,960
these countries that used to be
allied with them, or are part of

190
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,780
the Soviet Union, are going to
join NATO. And this is all

191
00:10:42,780 --> 00:10:44,910
blaming Russia. And I noticed
that about halfway through the

192
00:10:44,910 --> 00:10:49,890
week, the the tone was softened
as if we're going to start to

193
00:10:49,890 --> 00:10:55,890
change our tune, officially.
And, and, of course, if you

194
00:10:55,890 --> 00:10:58,530
follow it, it seems, in fact, I
had a really good post on the

195
00:10:58,530 --> 00:11:02,760
blog, you have to go back aways
but it's asked, it's called the

196
00:11:02,790 --> 00:11:06,300
Look Up search for reader
challenge, and is a bunch of

197
00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:09,960
people that chimed in about the
timeline about what really

198
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,850
happened here. And it is really,
Georgia, that is the aggressor

199
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:21,960
trying to shut down the sections
and that whole area from because

200
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:27,990
they wanted to become their own
country. Now what, anyway, so

201
00:11:29,220 --> 00:11:31,920
that's not that's not entirely
true. I mean, they're already

202
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,070
their own country. But the

203
00:11:36,330 --> 00:11:37,950
officially they're part of
Georgia.

204
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,190
Oh, I'm sorry. You mean? Oh,
sedia. Okay, I'm sorry. I

205
00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:43,560
misunderstood what you're
saying. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. In

206
00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:47,850
fact, they were just given a lot
of the Citians were given

207
00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:50,490
Russian passports in the past
month or so.

208
00:11:50,850 --> 00:11:54,240
Yeah. Well, here's the story I
got from a friend. My daughter's

209
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,200
friend is a Russian and her
mom's are Georgian. So I went

210
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,760
over there and I decided to do
an interrogation. I asked her,

211
00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:08,190
interrogated her. Here's what
she said. They've been get

212
00:12:10,890 --> 00:12:14,550
somebody's got to do it.
Exactly. So that Russian

213
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:18,150
passport thing for a couple of
weeks or whatever it says bogus.

214
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,780
They've been they've had Russian
passports for two years. Okay,

215
00:12:21,870 --> 00:12:25,800
good or longer. And she gave me
the rundown on this. She says

216
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,820
that the whole Georgian border
thing was set up by Stalin

217
00:12:29,820 --> 00:12:32,250
originally, she takes the whole
story back to the 40s. Wow,

218
00:12:32,250 --> 00:12:37,200
okay. And she says this one
group, this this was never felt

219
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:41,340
that they're part of Georgia,
they were always felt more

220
00:12:41,370 --> 00:12:45,300
connected to Russia. And
somewhere along the line, they

221
00:12:45,630 --> 00:12:48,870
made a lot of noise about being
either independent or joining

222
00:12:48,870 --> 00:12:51,690
Russia and having the borders
wrapped around them rather than

223
00:12:51,690 --> 00:12:56,340
being in Georgia. And this is
this that area, the sets, yeah,

224
00:12:56,340 --> 00:12:58,380
and there's actually two,
there's not just a setting of

225
00:12:58,380 --> 00:13:01,410
there's another one that I can't
barely pronounce which one she

226
00:13:01,410 --> 00:13:07,200
kept referring to. And she said
the Russians long ago decided

227
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,720
that they will support this
break off group, the splinter

228
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,300
group or whatever they want to
call. They did give them

229
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:18,750
passports, they'll have Russian
passports, most speak Russian.

230
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,760
And they said that Russia said
they would support them if they

231
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,060
want to become part of Russia,
or if they want to become their

232
00:13:24,060 --> 00:13:28,950
own standalone country. But but
there was some indication that

233
00:13:28,950 --> 00:13:32,280
Russia might not support them
being fully incorporated, and

234
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,750
Georgia. Now a couple things
that came out, one of them is

235
00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:43,170
the deal. Oil runs through that
area. But she mentioned

236
00:13:43,170 --> 00:13:44,940
something that's never been
brought up in the press, which

237
00:13:44,940 --> 00:13:49,350
is this one area. And the reason
the Russians like are wanting to

238
00:13:49,350 --> 00:13:53,280
be part or they want to be
tight. It's the number it

239
00:13:53,430 --> 00:13:57,180
essentially produces all the
citrus fruits for everybody. The

240
00:13:57,180 --> 00:14:01,110
citrus fruits, you said, Yeah,
Oranges and lemons and

241
00:14:01,290 --> 00:14:05,700
everything that's got vitamin C,
and it comes from this area. And

242
00:14:05,970 --> 00:14:08,550
I've guessed it feeds the whole
of Russia and everyplace else.

243
00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:13,770
It's like this huge, it's the
Florida of the ex Soviet Union.

244
00:14:14,550 --> 00:14:18,270
So I never heard that before.
And there's also that port to

245
00:14:18,270 --> 00:14:23,220
which the Russians want to get a
hold up. And she said just a

246
00:14:23,220 --> 00:14:26,850
couple of things. One is that
the President of Georgia has a

247
00:14:26,850 --> 00:14:31,350
spiel that he gets about how
they ended all corruption. Yeah.

248
00:14:32,820 --> 00:14:36,660
She's got she knows lots of
people that would say That's

249
00:14:36,660 --> 00:14:40,890
bogus. It's just a public
relations stunt. There's plenty

250
00:14:40,890 --> 00:14:41,730
of corruption.

251
00:14:42,059 --> 00:14:47,849
Well, if there's Saakashvili is
also credited and credits

252
00:14:47,849 --> 00:14:53,189
himself with bringing new
economic growth and wealth which

253
00:14:53,189 --> 00:14:55,469
of course is all fed in by the
US.

254
00:14:56,220 --> 00:15:03,720
Right so our money Yeah. So
anyway, He showed up about this

255
00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:07,830
during the week, which is that
in Holland, they follow the

256
00:15:07,830 --> 00:15:11,370
psychopy guide closely and you
might want to explain why.

257
00:15:12,660 --> 00:15:18,600
Because he is married to Sandra
Roelofs, who is a Dutch girl.

258
00:15:19,260 --> 00:15:25,440
And there's it's goes a little
bit further an RTL news

259
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,860
cameraman was killed a Dutch
cameraman was killed during one

260
00:15:28,860 --> 00:15:32,190
of the shellings. And so, you
know, that's, that's been kind

261
00:15:32,190 --> 00:15:35,520
of the the front, you know, the
front pages of the news, of

262
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:41,160
course. And the So, the Sondra
rulerships has announced that

263
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,990
she's going to be attending his
funeral and wake, which, from

264
00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:49,560
what I've read the family has
responded to with mixed

265
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,880
feelings. Hell, yeah. I mean,
what a political move regardless

266
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,760
of whether she's Dutch or
whether she cares. And yeah,

267
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:57,720
that's another challenge

268
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,450
with the Shelley's did it when
she was the apparently this guy

269
00:16:00,450 --> 00:16:02,250
was killed by the Georgia
shelling.

270
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:04,800
That I don't know.

271
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,220
Well, there seems to be a lot of
evidence and most of people

272
00:16:08,220 --> 00:16:11,010
killed in that area were killed
by Georgia is not by Russians.

273
00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:17,400
But anyway, follow this guy very
carefully in in Holland. And so

274
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,560
then you pointed out to me some
of the stories running over

275
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,290
there that nobody in other
Western media is picking up.

276
00:16:23,310 --> 00:16:26,910
Especially the part of this guy
being some sort of a sex weirdo.

277
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:27,300
Yeah,

278
00:16:27,299 --> 00:16:29,729
there's a couple of things. So
the first one, actually, I'm

279
00:16:29,729 --> 00:16:33,569
gonna Skype you a link right
now, which you have to watch,

280
00:16:33,569 --> 00:16:36,569
you can just turn the sound off.
It's from the BBC, I just want

281
00:16:36,569 --> 00:16:40,469
you to watch for two things.
This is Saakashvili. And he's,

282
00:16:40,709 --> 00:16:43,799
you know, there's a little bit
of actually some good combat

283
00:16:43,799 --> 00:16:46,469
footage, which I haven't seen
anywhere in this news, you see

284
00:16:46,469 --> 00:16:49,919
actual, you know, like rockets
and nano, not just a couple of

285
00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:50,099
them.

286
00:16:50,429 --> 00:16:53,249
But as soon as I turn it down, I
can turn it down.

287
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,520
So anyway, so you see him
sitting behind his desk, he's on

288
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,990
the phone, and the guy is eating
his tie. Okay, he's literally

289
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:04,320
eating it. And to the right,
you'll see actually, he's

290
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,050
sitting in between two flags.
One is what I presume is the

291
00:17:07,050 --> 00:17:10,140
Georgian flag, and to the right
of him is the flag of the

292
00:17:10,140 --> 00:17:16,050
European Union. And, you know,
guess what? Georgia is not in

293
00:17:16,050 --> 00:17:20,520
the European Union. They're not
NATO either. But just look at

294
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:21,060
this guy. And

295
00:17:21,060 --> 00:17:25,290
then there's cm meeting is tied
to blog this, and then there's

296
00:17:25,290 --> 00:17:27,930
fleshy people out there who
don't want to deal with my blog,

297
00:17:27,930 --> 00:17:31,170
they go to a Saska villi eats
his tie.

298
00:17:33,030 --> 00:17:35,520
And there's a couple more clips
of him. I'm sure you've seen the

299
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,860
footage when he's outside and
then all of a sudden the plane

300
00:17:37,860 --> 00:17:40,440
comes it comes overhead and he
goes running and link starts

301
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,840
crying like a little baby and
they're covering him up. And

302
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,170
with all kinds of flak jackets
in the den, just look at the

303
00:17:46,170 --> 00:17:50,910
guy's demeanour. Just look at
him. And you'll like, very

304
00:17:50,910 --> 00:17:54,000
suspect. And so indeed, one of
the stories that I've picked up

305
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,300
on from the Dutch Alternative
Press is apparently this

306
00:17:57,330 --> 00:18:00,480
Saakashvili, which makes total
sense, you know, if he's a tool

307
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:05,250
of of the bush Cheney clan,
that, you know, he's a sex

308
00:18:05,250 --> 00:18:08,910
maniac and just, you know,
insatiable appetite for sex.

309
00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:14,280
They've actually confronted his
wife because she was in Holland

310
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,950
for like six months. And they
said, you know, well, is it true

311
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:18,870
that your husband's a sex
maniac, which is kind of the

312
00:18:19,530 --> 00:18:20,550
most straightforward way

313
00:18:20,580 --> 00:18:24,870
forward when you press did this?
Right, yeah, Alternative Press?

314
00:18:25,890 --> 00:18:28,410
And she said, No, no, I'm just
No, that's not true. I'm glad

315
00:18:28,410 --> 00:18:32,040
you asked me to my face. I'm
just here because I have another

316
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,550
child on the way and I want the
child to be born in in a

317
00:18:35,550 --> 00:18:40,770
peaceful surroundings. But
that's a that is some of the

318
00:18:40,770 --> 00:18:43,050
word out there. But just when
you look at the guy and you look

319
00:18:43,050 --> 00:18:47,040
at his demeanour, and you know,
he just looks not

320
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:52,740
so I asked the so i With that in
mind, I asked this woman I was

321
00:18:52,770 --> 00:19:00,450
who I was interrogating. Sabine
as mom. I said she used to be, I

322
00:19:00,450 --> 00:19:02,820
think a swimmer for the Russians
are some positive

323
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,490
effects it Uh huh. One of those?
I think

324
00:19:05,550 --> 00:19:10,290
they let him leave or so I'm not
sure. But anyway, I mentioned

325
00:19:10,290 --> 00:19:14,370
the sex thing to her. And she
said, Oh, well, that doesn't

326
00:19:14,370 --> 00:19:18,240
surprise me now. Well, it wasn't
even it wasn't even like a

327
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:25,320
Yeah, it was like a big
revelation. Yeah. Do you have a

328
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:32,160
read provde the English version
of Providence. Not often. You

329
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,040
might in these days because they
got some really good or the

330
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:41,490
article you might like is is
Condoleezza Rice stupid? It's

331
00:19:41,490 --> 00:19:47,280
pretty funny. It really it
really shows you how to think

332
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:47,790
well, you know, she's

333
00:19:47,790 --> 00:19:50,370
supposed to be That's the joke
of this whole event. She's

334
00:19:50,370 --> 00:19:52,170
supposed to be the big Russian
expert. Oh,

335
00:19:52,170 --> 00:19:55,140
yeah. Here it even says
something about that here is con

336
00:19:55,170 --> 00:19:58,740
so every paragraph starts with
is Condoleezza Rice stupid.

337
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:01,650
Here's another one. She claims
to be a Russian expert, but her

338
00:20:01,650 --> 00:20:05,010
command of the language was
recently exposed as being basic

339
00:20:05,010 --> 00:20:08,550
slash elementary level on a
Russian radio programme, just as

340
00:20:08,550 --> 00:20:11,430
her grasp of what is going on in
Russia Today seems beneath the

341
00:20:11,430 --> 00:20:17,670
informed blogger level. That's
an improv the that's pretty

342
00:20:17,670 --> 00:20:18,330
funny. Yeah,

343
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:21,150
well, province has become it's
not like a state institution

344
00:20:21,150 --> 00:20:25,230
anymore. It's become almost like
a, like the National Enquirer

345
00:20:25,230 --> 00:20:27,240
kind of thing. They have a lot
of really funny stories.

346
00:20:27,570 --> 00:20:29,700
And, you know, ever since I've
been talking about this, I've

347
00:20:29,700 --> 00:20:32,100
been talking about on the daily
source code as well, you know,

348
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:35,940
basically, you know, the point
being, look, Georgia started

349
00:20:36,060 --> 00:20:43,080
with, they had 3000 US security
consultants on the ground before

350
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,560
this happened, which, of course,
is another word for mercenaries.

351
00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:52,500
You know, there are Georgians in
US combat fatigues, in all this

352
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:56,880
report is it's all in the news.
And there is some good

353
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,750
reporting, but as usual, you
know, the real overtones is just

354
00:21:00,750 --> 00:21:03,570
completely dominated by the
talking points, which is, you

355
00:21:03,570 --> 00:21:07,260
know, Russia back off Russia,
the aggressor, and that's being

356
00:21:07,470 --> 00:21:14,130
fed by Bush and McCain. You
know, just even just the way the

357
00:21:14,130 --> 00:21:15,630
media is writing the story.

358
00:21:15,930 --> 00:21:19,350
And what's even funnier with
Obama, because he initially

359
00:21:19,380 --> 00:21:24,930
seems to have found the right
explanation. And then because it

360
00:21:24,930 --> 00:21:29,160
was so you know, power the the
blame Russia thing was pounded

361
00:21:29,370 --> 00:21:34,200
so hard in the press that Obama
switched, right seems to go on

362
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,300
to the other side. Now, if he
has to switch back, he's gonna

363
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:38,940
talk about it. You know, flip
flopper. I mean, it's going to

364
00:21:38,940 --> 00:21:41,250
be embarrassing. He doesn't know
why it may he just, I don't

365
00:21:41,250 --> 00:21:43,500
know, I just can't hold his
ground. I think of course,

366
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,140
consultants, his masters are
telling him to do that.

367
00:21:47,130 --> 00:21:47,730
Apparently.

368
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,790
So anyway, so this story seems
to be that we're not getting the

369
00:21:53,790 --> 00:21:55,410
story. That's the way I Well,
that's

370
00:21:55,410 --> 00:21:57,900
what that's what I think is the
most interesting at this point

371
00:21:57,900 --> 00:22:01,350
is okay, here we have and, um,
if you haven't, I'm sure you can

372
00:22:01,350 --> 00:22:05,940
just please go to
devorah.org/blog. And take a

373
00:22:05,940 --> 00:22:10,320
look at this 12 year old kid and
her mom who were on Fox News.

374
00:22:10,619 --> 00:22:12,479
Yeah, but hilarious, you know,
and

375
00:22:13,470 --> 00:22:16,920
what just amazes me is to see
how it actually works, you know,

376
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,400
to see how we do know the actual
truth. And at the end of the

377
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,550
day, Russian No, no real nice
guys, right? I mean, they all

378
00:22:23,550 --> 00:22:26,340
have, you know, the Russians,
the Chinese, the Americans were

379
00:22:26,340 --> 00:22:29,760
all they're all thugs, metal
thugs, running, running, running

380
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,060
the show. So I'm not I'm not
trying to say anyone's, you

381
00:22:33,060 --> 00:22:37,620
know, good. But in this case, we
clearly know what happened. We

382
00:22:37,620 --> 00:22:42,180
clearly know it was a US and
Israeli backed aggression from

383
00:22:42,180 --> 00:22:46,380
Georgia, First Blood first fire,
whatever. And that's being

384
00:22:46,380 --> 00:22:49,380
completely turned around. And
Russia is being made to look

385
00:22:49,380 --> 00:22:53,070
like they started at all. And
it's just amazing to me to watch

386
00:22:53,070 --> 00:22:56,700
that actually happened and see
it, you know, it's already

387
00:22:56,700 --> 00:23:00,630
cemented you know, the, it's
already that it's what happened

388
00:23:00,630 --> 00:23:02,130
is what it'll go down in
history.

389
00:23:02,580 --> 00:23:08,100
Yes, a meme. So it reminds me of
the, you know, if you're, if you

390
00:23:08,130 --> 00:23:14,430
if you pull the American public
today, after all these years,

391
00:23:14,460 --> 00:23:18,930
you will still get the fact
that, you know, Iraq are the

392
00:23:18,930 --> 00:23:21,570
ones who brought down to Trade
Towers, you know, kind of thing.

393
00:23:21,690 --> 00:23:26,070
Oh, yeah. Yeah, of course. So,
it's a hopeless situation. I

394
00:23:26,070 --> 00:23:29,280
mean, the Russians, for the
propaganda artists that they

395
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,870
once were, I suppose. I think
they, they don't do a very good

396
00:23:33,870 --> 00:23:34,770
job of

397
00:23:35,850 --> 00:23:37,170
manipulating the media,

398
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,540
manipulating the media. Now,

399
00:23:39,540 --> 00:23:42,030
they're horrible, but they don't
own it. That's the problem. If

400
00:23:42,030 --> 00:23:44,400
you own it, it's a lot easier.
Yeah,

401
00:23:44,430 --> 00:23:45,360
I think that's true.

402
00:23:45,570 --> 00:23:49,590
I mean, just just look at Fox
News, man, it's fantastic. It's

403
00:23:49,590 --> 00:23:52,500
fantastic to see when the minute
something happens that isn't,

404
00:23:52,650 --> 00:23:55,050
you can almost hear someone in
the control room go.

405
00:23:59,850 --> 00:24:02,190
Well, they really blurred with
that mom and her daughter

406
00:24:02,190 --> 00:24:04,830
because they couldn't, you know,
she, because the daughter, you

407
00:24:04,830 --> 00:24:07,500
know, they had obviously had
them on some sort of a track to

408
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:09,930
say this and that. And then the
daughter just interrupts and

409
00:24:09,930 --> 00:24:13,020
says, Hey, before we go on, I
want to thank Russia for saving

410
00:24:13,020 --> 00:24:13,680
my life,

411
00:24:14,130 --> 00:24:16,650
which was scripted. I mean, you
could tell that they that they

412
00:24:16,740 --> 00:24:18,360
was like, here's what we're
gonna here's what we're really

413
00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:20,490
going to do when we get on you
know, you could you could tell

414
00:24:20,490 --> 00:24:22,830
that that was set up, but what a
great setup.

415
00:24:23,460 --> 00:24:28,140
Yeah, no, it was pretty funny. I
really enjoyed it. And then the

416
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,580
fox guys are all nervous about
it cracked me up. You know, Fox

417
00:24:32,580 --> 00:24:35,100
doesn't have to be quite so
uptight with, you know, the

418
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:40,050
countervailing opinions about
anything. It's just you know,

419
00:24:40,050 --> 00:24:42,780
they just they draw attention to
themselves with some of this

420
00:24:42,780 --> 00:24:43,290
stuff.

421
00:24:44,550 --> 00:24:48,780
And that my favourite is Fox and
Friends. Have you ever watched

422
00:24:48,780 --> 00:24:54,720
that? No. You really should.
That's where they they kind of

423
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,680
like you know, it's like a like
a morning news show and they sit

424
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,640
around they drink coffee and
laugh about the news. And this

425
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,690
shit that comes out of their
faces is just so incredible.

426
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:09,780
They dismissed stuff.

427
00:25:12,150 --> 00:25:15,540
Well, you know, there was a
report, somebody had worked at

428
00:25:15,540 --> 00:25:19,560
Fudd. Fox, forget what the story
was. I'd had to think about it

429
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,690
for a minute. But apparently
there was some election some

430
00:25:21,690 --> 00:25:26,280
place and Republicans were
losing and apparently brought

431
00:25:26,310 --> 00:25:31,500
the staff and the whole studio.
Actually, they were visibly

432
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:35,790
sobbing and crying. What was
that for? It? was just like,

433
00:25:35,790 --> 00:25:38,760
apparently, these guys are so
caught up in the politics of it

434
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:44,400
all. That I mean, that the idea
of fair and balanced is just a

435
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,030
joke.

436
00:25:45,389 --> 00:25:47,609
Hey, you know, I keep hearing
more and more about

437
00:25:48,750 --> 00:25:52,050
although I have to say the other
side is just as bad off course.

438
00:25:52,620 --> 00:25:55,530
What's the fairness? Doctrine?

439
00:25:55,980 --> 00:25:57,330
Yeah. the Fairness Doctrine.
Yeah,

440
00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:00,180
man. That's there's a I hear
that more and more these days. I

441
00:26:00,180 --> 00:26:03,090
know it comes back around
elections every single time, but

442
00:26:03,420 --> 00:26:04,710
I'm just hearing it a lot.

443
00:26:05,370 --> 00:26:08,160
Yeah, it's not going to get
anywhere. There's just no way at

444
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,440
this point. I mean, the Supreme
Court would strike it down. I

445
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,320
mean, it's ridiculous. The And
besides that, you know, but

446
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,690
either side can take advantage
of the situation as it now

447
00:26:15,690 --> 00:26:18,420
exists. This is just just an
anti Rush Limbaugh thing is

448
00:26:18,420 --> 00:26:21,540
really what it amounts to. Well,
I can't take that.

449
00:26:21,570 --> 00:26:27,540
But I hear it used more in the
context of blogs.

450
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,750
Oh, yeah. That's the Yeah,
that's right. Well, actually,

451
00:26:30,750 --> 00:26:34,020
there was a we blogged this, the
FCC made it out. Now it's

452
00:26:34,050 --> 00:26:36,960
commented, you know, if we if
the Fairness Doctrine is re

453
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:42,930
installed, it may actually apply
to the internet. Oh, please. Oh,

454
00:26:42,930 --> 00:26:46,860
my God. I mean, you could
probably go along, but you know,

455
00:26:46,860 --> 00:26:49,320
what you'd end up with, I think
because of the bloggers being so

456
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,430
subversive, generally speaking,
you'd end up with boilerplate.

457
00:26:54,030 --> 00:26:56,280
So you'd make your comment,
whether you're a right wing

458
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,310
blog, or a left wing wing blog,
you'd make your, you know, anti

459
00:26:59,310 --> 00:27:02,820
bush or pro Bush comment, and
then you'd have a piece of

460
00:27:02,820 --> 00:27:06,870
boilerplate, that dissent, which
was just the opposite opinion

461
00:27:08,850 --> 00:27:10,620
would always be exactly the
same.

462
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,440
We could write a script, that
would just be exactly the

463
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,030
opposite. Yeah, you're

464
00:27:15,450 --> 00:27:17,430
right. And would you whatever
you said, then you have exactly

465
00:27:17,430 --> 00:27:20,610
the opposite. And you'd make it
sound stupid. I mean, if you

466
00:27:20,610 --> 00:27:23,250
have a bunch of things to say
that are, you know, well

467
00:27:23,250 --> 00:27:27,420
reasoned, you could do put in
just the opposite and make it

468
00:27:27,420 --> 00:27:31,770
sound like a blithering idiot,
but it's the opposite. This

469
00:27:31,770 --> 00:27:33,330
isn't like this is not gonna go
anywhere.

470
00:27:33,780 --> 00:27:40,140
Did you speak? Canada? Did you
hear somewhere that we're not

471
00:27:40,140 --> 00:27:45,000
here about this, that some ISP
or like big cable network, maybe

472
00:27:46,380 --> 00:27:50,700
the CEO, God, I wish I had the
story in front of me said that

473
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,760
looks like they were going to,
you know, have like only a

474
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,660
sanction website list that you
could go to, and be like,

475
00:27:57,690 --> 00:28:00,450
approved portals that you could
then jump off from, but you

476
00:28:00,450 --> 00:28:02,880
wouldn't be able to just get to
any website anymore. Had you

477
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:03,630
heard about this?

478
00:28:03,990 --> 00:28:07,710
No. That will fly? Well, you
wouldn't

479
00:28:07,710 --> 00:28:09,840
think it would. But it was kind
of interesting. It's just one of

480
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,370
those things is floating out
there.

481
00:28:11,730 --> 00:28:14,790
It's probably done by one of the
CEOs who's never been on the

482
00:28:14,790 --> 00:28:15,510
web. Yeah.

483
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,110
Yeah, I mean, I don't see how
that could ever happen.

484
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,540
So anyway, so let's go back to
our or back to our Georgia

485
00:28:24,540 --> 00:28:28,110
Russia thing. Yeah. And take it
up a notch because you pointed

486
00:28:28,110 --> 00:28:30,000
this out to me. We had dinner
the other night, which we'll

487
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,820
talk about in a minute. But you
pointed out to me while all this

488
00:28:32,820 --> 00:28:37,590
was going on, strangeness was
taking place in Africa. Nobody

489
00:28:37,590 --> 00:28:38,670
paid any attention to

490
00:28:38,700 --> 00:28:42,630
and it's still I even picked up
the Financial Times at the

491
00:28:42,630 --> 00:28:46,290
airport and there was nothing in
it. You know, Mauritania, there

492
00:28:46,290 --> 00:28:50,370
was a coup in Mauritania, which
is, for those who don't know, is

493
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,270
a large portion of West Africa.
It's almost all of West Africa,

494
00:28:54,270 --> 00:28:58,740
actually. And I'd never I'd
never even heard of this before

495
00:28:58,740 --> 00:29:02,070
until I came across this little
little blurb. And the reason why

496
00:29:02,070 --> 00:29:05,250
it caught my eye is because the
coup had actually taken place,

497
00:29:05,250 --> 00:29:08,760
but like 10 days ago now, which
is almost simultaneous with the

498
00:29:09,180 --> 00:29:12,690
with what happened in Georgia.
But they announced they

499
00:29:12,690 --> 00:29:18,360
installed a former European
Union ambassador as either the

500
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,150
prime minister or the temporary
Prime Minister. It was a

501
00:29:21,150 --> 00:29:25,710
bloodless coup, so they say the
military took over. But what's

502
00:29:25,710 --> 00:29:30,750
interesting about Mauritania is
that about 30% of China's oil

503
00:29:30,780 --> 00:29:34,470
comes from Mauritania. That's
where they import it from a

504
00:29:34,470 --> 00:29:38,250
large portion of their minerals
comes from Mauritania, even I

505
00:29:38,250 --> 00:29:41,490
believe 20% of the US is
imported oil comes from

506
00:29:41,490 --> 00:29:42,330
Mauritania.

507
00:29:42,750 --> 00:29:45,420
And you know, that's not
possible. Most of our oil comes

508
00:29:45,420 --> 00:29:46,650
from Alberta, Canada.

509
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:52,050
Let me see. Granted, it was a
probably a Wikipedia article.

510
00:29:52,050 --> 00:29:54,150
I think they could probably no,
I think what you're reading is

511
00:29:54,150 --> 00:29:57,630
that 20% of the oil produced by
them may go to us but that's I

512
00:29:57,630 --> 00:30:00,930
mean, that's our, you know, it
could be 2% What percent spit in

513
00:30:00,930 --> 00:30:01,950
the bucket for us?

514
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,250
Well, who knows, I mean, I'm not
actually counting that shit. I'm

515
00:30:08,250 --> 00:30:12,510
not counting the barrels. Okay,
so then, of course, I can also

516
00:30:12,510 --> 00:30:17,580
question if the 30% was all of
China's oil or 30% of their oil

517
00:30:17,580 --> 00:30:17,790
went to

518
00:30:17,790 --> 00:30:21,210
China. I think it's the other
way. Yeah. So

519
00:30:21,690 --> 00:30:24,660
it's not unimportant. Let's put
it that way. You

520
00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:28,140
know, China is LinkedIn, I was
doing some research about this.

521
00:30:28,140 --> 00:30:31,290
And you discover that most of
the action took place just

522
00:30:31,290 --> 00:30:34,500
within the last year or so. That
then you know, the Chinese were

523
00:30:34,530 --> 00:30:36,930
doing more and more deals down
there. The Chinese of course,

524
00:30:36,930 --> 00:30:39,450
are all over Africa trying to
get everything they can out of

525
00:30:39,450 --> 00:30:42,540
there and then instal like, like
a lot of their own people.

526
00:30:42,990 --> 00:30:46,290
There's something that obviously
broke the camel's back here that

527
00:30:46,290 --> 00:30:50,970
resulted in this bloodless coup
which took place coincidentally,

528
00:30:51,270 --> 00:30:55,440
right during the Georgia Russia,
Georgia thing, which makes me

529
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,230
wonder how who's in bed with who
on these things, including us

530
00:30:58,230 --> 00:31:01,650
with the Russians? Because, you
know, I don't it's possible that

531
00:31:01,650 --> 00:31:03,360
Putin and Bush actually do like
each

532
00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:05,549
other and they just said, let's,
let's just get rid of this

533
00:31:05,549 --> 00:31:11,489
asshole. Yeah. Hey, that coked
out sex Fein. I'm tired.

534
00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:14,819
It could be because the you
know, the whole thing is a lot

535
00:31:14,819 --> 00:31:17,909
of sabre rattling, you know, the
US oil this the Russians? did.

536
00:31:18,419 --> 00:31:20,789
You know I mean, it's possible
that this guy that's running

537
00:31:20,789 --> 00:31:23,549
Georgia just gotta go. And so

538
00:31:23,610 --> 00:31:27,060
let me just say two things about
Saakashvili. So the two things

539
00:31:27,060 --> 00:31:30,210
that are just really, really,
that just show some really weird

540
00:31:30,210 --> 00:31:33,600
and a lot of weirdness there is
the European Union flags

541
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,690
everywhere. Although George is
not a member of the European

542
00:31:36,690 --> 00:31:40,380
Union. That's weird. Okay,
that's just fucking weird. And

543
00:31:40,470 --> 00:31:43,530
this whole George Bush Avenue
and that picture you sent me if

544
00:31:43,530 --> 00:31:46,290
George Bush waving to you at the
airport? I mean,

545
00:31:48,450 --> 00:31:49,560
LISI? Yeah,

546
00:31:49,590 --> 00:31:53,850
I mean, but there is an actual
George Bush Avenue, and leads to

547
00:31:53,850 --> 00:31:54,540
the airport.

548
00:31:58,470 --> 00:32:00,960
Okay, that's possible. But you
know, by the way, why did they

549
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,350
have to go kill 2000 or 3000
people to get rid of this guy is

550
00:32:04,350 --> 00:32:05,040
beyond me.

551
00:32:05,670 --> 00:32:07,830
Well, here's the other thing
that's interesting. You should

552
00:32:08,430 --> 00:32:12,210
people that you know, I didn't
realise this until I started. I

553
00:32:12,210 --> 00:32:17,220
found that photo, by the way on
Flickr. And there's, if you go

554
00:32:17,220 --> 00:32:22,140
to look up Tbilisi, on Flickr,
there's a lot of photos taken

555
00:32:22,140 --> 00:32:26,340
from people in this area. And
they've posted them on Flickr,

556
00:32:26,340 --> 00:32:29,730
there's hundreds and hundreds of
them. And that's including the

557
00:32:29,970 --> 00:32:33,300
some new modernization projects
that they have going on that are

558
00:32:33,300 --> 00:32:37,080
just spectacular, but I'd
recommend look, I started

559
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,660
looking at these photos. I think
I like to visit this places. It

560
00:32:39,660 --> 00:32:42,300
looks like a photographer's
dream come true, which is really

561
00:32:42,300 --> 00:32:43,020
photogenic.

562
00:32:43,050 --> 00:32:45,510
Yeah, I'm looking at it right
now. That is pretty amazing,

563
00:32:45,510 --> 00:32:47,670
isn't it? Wow.

564
00:32:48,690 --> 00:32:52,170
Mix of architecture. Yeah. And
then you can go on and on and on

565
00:32:52,170 --> 00:32:54,630
and keep clicking away. And
you'll see more and more stuff.

566
00:32:54,630 --> 00:32:57,450
You want it to you and just wish
you were there taking photos of

567
00:32:57,450 --> 00:33:00,270
you like taking photos.
Meanwhile, there's one other

568
00:33:00,270 --> 00:33:03,120
thing that happened during this
era. Well, there's a couple of

569
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,780
things. Well, the other thing
that you may have not noticed is

570
00:33:06,780 --> 00:33:10,020
that Nigeria seems to be under
some sort of guerrilla attack.

571
00:33:10,530 --> 00:33:11,640
It's oil. No, I

572
00:33:11,639 --> 00:33:15,359
haven't seen that. Yeah, it is.
So it's still in a guerrilla

573
00:33:15,359 --> 00:33:18,239
attack phase. There's there's no
one's been in snow puppet has

574
00:33:18,239 --> 00:33:19,259
been put in place yet?

575
00:33:19,290 --> 00:33:22,980
Not yet. No. But this is like
the thought of not action. Well,

576
00:33:22,980 --> 00:33:27,090
the other thing I'm thinking why
do they think and maybe it's a

577
00:33:27,090 --> 00:33:30,450
Nigerian scam, but I could come
up with the right joke for this.

578
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:31,080
I

579
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,620
understand where you're going
though. Dear George Bush, I

580
00:33:34,620 --> 00:33:39,960
would like to send you $5
billion all I need is your bank

581
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,730
account. Well, of course,
Russia, Russia, the United

582
00:33:44,730 --> 00:33:48,510
States installed nuclear
missiles or at least made the

583
00:33:48,510 --> 00:33:52,080
agreement to instal nuclear
missiles in Poland that was the

584
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,960
other thing that that you know,
that really came together

585
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,830
nicely. Yeah, in this in the
same way that would piss off the

586
00:33:58,830 --> 00:34:00,690
Russians. Yeah, of course.

587
00:34:01,770 --> 00:34:03,900
So you know, you don't think
it's a coincidence though that

588
00:34:03,900 --> 00:34:05,880
they made this announcement even
though they really haven't put

589
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,660
any missiles in yet. After it
was noted Russia wants to get

590
00:34:09,660 --> 00:34:10,770
closer to Cuba

591
00:34:10,950 --> 00:34:13,740
will have no I think it actually
was the other way around. I

592
00:34:13,740 --> 00:34:17,640
heard though okay. Yeah, yeah,
this whole Poland thing has been

593
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,630
going on for a while. And and
then Russia the Russian General

594
00:34:21,630 --> 00:34:24,540
said well, we might be
considering Cuba and now that

595
00:34:24,900 --> 00:34:28,380
now Okay, let's take it one step
further perhaps our intelligence

596
00:34:28,380 --> 00:34:31,650
agencies discovered that they
were going to do something with

597
00:34:31,650 --> 00:34:35,940
Cuba so we preempted I possible
Poland thing possible to kick

598
00:34:36,210 --> 00:34:36,660
you know,

599
00:34:36,749 --> 00:34:39,179
okay, let me let me take it to
the highest level and then we

600
00:34:39,179 --> 00:34:42,359
got to get off it. Okay, here,
here comes your moulder moment.

601
00:34:43,649 --> 00:34:48,029
All what's happening here is we
want to get the Russians all

602
00:34:48,029 --> 00:34:52,349
riled up America, and we want to
get the Chinese all riled up.

603
00:34:52,349 --> 00:34:54,599
That's why we're messing with
them in Africa, because we

604
00:34:54,599 --> 00:34:59,849
actually want China to invade
Russia. Yeah, man, come on. It

605
00:34:59,849 --> 00:35:01,919
may So much sense we want you
know, it's like you want your

606
00:35:01,919 --> 00:35:04,169
minerals once you go get them in
Russia, you want some oil, go

607
00:35:04,169 --> 00:35:08,609
get it in Russia, get out of
here. Go make war with Russia

608
00:35:08,609 --> 00:35:11,339
because Russia is angry Anyway,
you've you've strike on him,

609
00:35:11,339 --> 00:35:15,329
they'll they'll fire on you
think about it. It's not crazy.

610
00:35:15,990 --> 00:35:18,150
You know, it's an interesting,
calm. I mean, there's always

611
00:35:18,150 --> 00:35:24,630
been a fear. I mean, when Nixon
opened China up. It was, it was

612
00:35:24,630 --> 00:35:27,690
there's apparently some
something going on in Mao's head

613
00:35:27,690 --> 00:35:30,180
about, you know, fear of Russia.
I mean, the Chinese and the

614
00:35:30,180 --> 00:35:32,460
Russians are right there.
They're on each other's border.

615
00:35:32,460 --> 00:35:36,630
I mean, it's like, gotta be
like, a moment of consideration

616
00:35:36,630 --> 00:35:38,580
for that, of course. Okay, well,
that

617
00:35:38,580 --> 00:35:41,640
that slide that one. No, come
on. I'm sticking with this one.

618
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,060
I think I like it. No, I like
China and Russia to get to get

619
00:35:45,060 --> 00:35:47,340
all pissed off. Where's
Indonesia? Indonesia has got to

620
00:35:47,340 --> 00:35:48,480
be a part of this somehow.

621
00:35:48,810 --> 00:35:52,950
Well, in the middle of nowhere,
Southeast Asia. They're down in,

622
00:35:53,130 --> 00:35:57,330
you know, now with Singapore and
those guys. Yeah. Okay. Dude,

623
00:35:57,330 --> 00:36:01,350
have you seen the pictures of
bush at the Olympics? This

624
00:36:01,350 --> 00:36:04,290
isn't. I saw him. I saw him on
the TV a couple of times. I

625
00:36:04,290 --> 00:36:05,220
haven't seen any photo the

626
00:36:05,220 --> 00:36:07,650
ones where it looks drunk. Oh,
yeah.

627
00:36:07,650 --> 00:36:09,900
Well, there. Yeah. We blogged
one of them.

628
00:36:10,410 --> 00:36:13,650
How about the video, he has a
big scrape on his on his right

629
00:36:13,650 --> 00:36:16,350
forearm. And of course,
everyone's now saying, whoop,

630
00:36:16,350 --> 00:36:19,920
did he fall down that he, you
know, hurt himself while

631
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:20,430
hammered?

632
00:36:21,030 --> 00:36:23,610
I think this is the first time
he's ever been to China or am I

633
00:36:23,610 --> 00:36:26,790
wrong? I don't know. I don't
know. You know, when he was a

634
00:36:26,790 --> 00:36:30,510
kid, he never left the country
even though his dad? I think

635
00:36:30,510 --> 00:36:32,760
I've told this story before, but
I might as well tell it again.

636
00:36:33,570 --> 00:36:38,040
He is. And I got this
outstanding authority from a

637
00:36:38,070 --> 00:36:45,300
friend who was in school with
him at Yale. His dad was

638
00:36:45,300 --> 00:36:48,510
ambassador to China. Do you have
to remember George Bush, we

639
00:36:48,510 --> 00:36:51,180
hiked we made this guy President
United States again, his name.

640
00:36:51,420 --> 00:36:54,930
With the time he was elected
president. He had never left the

641
00:36:54,930 --> 00:36:58,530
country except possibly to
wander into Mexico for a taco.

642
00:37:00,570 --> 00:37:03,300
France, he never went to Europe.
He never went to Africa, South

643
00:37:03,300 --> 00:37:09,570
America to go to Jamaica. And so
maybe so anyway, so his dad was

644
00:37:09,570 --> 00:37:14,100
the ambassador to China. And why
you kind of poopoo the whole

645
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:16,710
thing because you're you have
people in foreign service in

646
00:37:16,710 --> 00:37:21,750
your background, but he
apparently his dad sent a note.

647
00:37:21,750 --> 00:37:24,150
They're gonna have some big
shindig in Beijing, you know,

648
00:37:24,150 --> 00:37:27,420
the embassy was going to put on
and invited George and give me

649
00:37:27,420 --> 00:37:31,380
you know, gave him a ticket to
go to China to have to party,

650
00:37:31,380 --> 00:37:34,860
which seems like a logical thing
for him to do. And he refused to

651
00:37:34,860 --> 00:37:37,410
go because he didn't want to
leave the country. I don't know.

652
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,270
I will. I'm not Pooh poohing
that. What are you talking

653
00:37:39,270 --> 00:37:40,200
about? Pooh poohing

654
00:37:40,470 --> 00:37:43,950
what you told me that you get
sick of these parties? Oh, me?

655
00:37:43,950 --> 00:37:47,010
Yeah. Well, you know, you mean
it that way? Sure. But that's a

656
00:37:47,010 --> 00:37:50,790
good one. I'll I'll corroborate
that with that with Don. I think

657
00:37:50,790 --> 00:37:53,670
it was already in the bush camp
at the time.

658
00:37:55,860 --> 00:37:58,590
Yeah, he didn't go to China when
his dad was the ambassador.

659
00:37:58,590 --> 00:38:01,350
They're talking about I mean,
the opportunity for fun.

660
00:38:01,410 --> 00:38:03,510
Yeah. Now that's not his idea of
fun.

661
00:38:04,770 --> 00:38:10,380
Apparently not. He's a puppet.
So anyway, on to a different

662
00:38:10,380 --> 00:38:13,590
topic. So we had dinner. We had
to do a one of our rare

663
00:38:13,590 --> 00:38:14,610
restaurant reviews.

664
00:38:14,610 --> 00:38:17,400
Yeah. Now this was interesting,
because this is the first

665
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,560
restaurant that I've been to the
we actually entered the

666
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,980
restaurant to a shopping mall.
That was Bloomingdale's. No

667
00:38:22,980 --> 00:38:24,690
less. That was That was
interesting.

668
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,280
Yeah, I found that it's an
unusual place to have a

669
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,760
restaurant it high or, you know,
a fairly high end restaurant

670
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,650
that you have to go through a
shopping mall to get there.

671
00:38:34,650 --> 00:38:38,280
Although I've seen other similar
things. There's a couple of

672
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,880
restaurants in Atlanta, Georgia
that are positioned like this.

673
00:38:42,420 --> 00:38:46,710
What was the name of it again?
larks per Steakhouse. All right.

674
00:38:46,710 --> 00:38:50,550
Yeah. And it's a Bradley Ogden
place. Anyone who's familiar

675
00:38:50,550 --> 00:38:53,460
with the chef's in the West
Coast, usually is heard of

676
00:38:53,460 --> 00:38:57,720
Bradley Ogden. And he this is
only steakhouse that I know of.

677
00:38:57,990 --> 00:39:01,950
And he has of his place in Las
Vegas for a while was the top

678
00:39:01,950 --> 00:39:05,850
rated restaurant and it was
called Bradley organians. But in

679
00:39:05,850 --> 00:39:10,980
San Francisco, he's, he runs one
market, which is the place you

680
00:39:10,980 --> 00:39:12,090
were reminded of

681
00:39:12,450 --> 00:39:15,000
Bryce, it has, right? Yeah,
you're right. You're right.

682
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:15,750
That's what it was.

683
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,950
And he always but his claim to
fame is a thing called the

684
00:39:19,950 --> 00:39:25,200
larkspur Inn, which is actually
in Larkspur. And I've known the

685
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,620
guy for a while I've run into a
few times. He's a very

686
00:39:28,620 --> 00:39:33,120
interesting character because I
think he's one of the guys even

687
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,360
though I didn't see any evidence
of it at the steakhouse.

688
00:39:36,660 --> 00:39:43,590
Generally speaking, his food has
exaggerated flavours. And the

689
00:39:43,590 --> 00:39:48,720
only other guy that that manages
to pull this off, is Bulli in

690
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:52,920
New York City who you know, had
bullies and then bully bakery

691
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,330
and I think he's run in some
other place.

692
00:39:54,780 --> 00:39:56,910
By exaggerated flavour. Exactly.

693
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,980
Well, it's like you It's like
they do something, I think they

694
00:40:01,980 --> 00:40:02,490
cheat.

695
00:40:03,450 --> 00:40:05,340
It's MSG, that's what it is.

696
00:40:05,850 --> 00:40:09,450
For example, Bulli one time I
was at one of his places and he

697
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,590
had this banana dish, and the
banana flavour was so intense

698
00:40:13,770 --> 00:40:18,300
that there had to be some banana
extract. Bananas, there was

699
00:40:18,300 --> 00:40:22,470
something going on. And it was
delicious. I'm not complaining.

700
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,300
But, but Bradley manages to get
these so the flavours are low,

701
00:40:27,450 --> 00:40:31,110
they're heightened, they're more
intense than they would normally

702
00:40:31,110 --> 00:40:33,660
be for whatever dish you're
talking about. And, and one of

703
00:40:33,660 --> 00:40:36,630
the things I've always noticed
with his cooking is even though

704
00:40:36,630 --> 00:40:41,100
some of the his presentations
aren't absolutely, you know,

705
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:45,210
French style spectacular. The
food usually will out if you had

706
00:40:45,210 --> 00:40:48,030
a bunch of different plates and
he was doing the same dishes

707
00:40:48,030 --> 00:40:49,920
everyone else his would taste
better.

708
00:40:49,980 --> 00:40:52,830
So let me let me give you a top
line review and then you can

709
00:40:52,830 --> 00:40:57,660
jump in. First of all so
placement interesting. I really

710
00:40:57,660 --> 00:41:00,360
liked the booths. I'd actually
didn't even notice if the whole

711
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,180
restaurant was that way but I
like the kind of three by three

712
00:41:03,180 --> 00:41:06,360
booths we can you know, it's
most comfortable if it's either

713
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:11,940
just two or four people. Right?
That was really good. The music

714
00:41:11,940 --> 00:41:15,120
was three decibels too loud at
least the sax it was like you

715
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,820
know very typical almost Kenny G
like music that

716
00:41:17,820 --> 00:41:19,260
was it didn't like the music
that

717
00:41:19,260 --> 00:41:24,330
was That was unfortunate. I very
much appreciate our our server

718
00:41:24,330 --> 00:41:28,710
saying would you like regular
ice water instead of forcing a

719
00:41:28,710 --> 00:41:30,870
bottle of some expensive shit on
us?

720
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,930
Right and everyone out there
should know that amongst the

721
00:41:33,930 --> 00:41:40,290
foodies right now. Tap water is
in awe when you go especially

722
00:41:40,290 --> 00:41:43,650
for the always ask for tap
water. Don't buy the bottled

723
00:41:43,650 --> 00:41:47,460
waters of their decisions.
number of articles in the trades

724
00:41:47,460 --> 00:41:50,130
about this about how what did
you turn into a rebel quit

725
00:41:50,130 --> 00:41:54,420
in the foodie trades. Yeah. Oh,
what foodie trade would that be

726
00:41:54,450 --> 00:41:54,900
food and

727
00:41:54,900 --> 00:41:57,330
raw tasting panel magazine for
one tasting

728
00:41:57,330 --> 00:41:59,760
panel magazine. Do you have
that? Don't you have it used?

729
00:42:00,330 --> 00:42:06,180
Yeah. Okay, there's food and
driver, tasting cattle tastes

730
00:42:06,180 --> 00:42:07,020
I'm just saying you're

731
00:42:07,020 --> 00:42:09,990
gonna see you're here. If you
read anything written by the

732
00:42:09,990 --> 00:42:13,110
insiders are going to talk about
this. And the thing is, it's

733
00:42:13,110 --> 00:42:15,210
cool. And I've noticed that
everyone's just doing it

734
00:42:15,210 --> 00:42:17,730
naturally. Because almost like
people are fed up with bottled

735
00:42:17,730 --> 00:42:18,090
water.

736
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,540
Well, they charge a four and a
half bucks. Why? Of course, of

737
00:42:21,540 --> 00:42:23,280
course we're fed up with it.
That's stupid.

738
00:42:23,910 --> 00:42:27,030
Right? You always go through two
bottles of source $10 For

739
00:42:27,030 --> 00:42:28,230
nothing. Exactly.

740
00:42:29,550 --> 00:42:34,110
So that was nice. Our server was
a little overzealous. He came he

741
00:42:34,110 --> 00:42:40,230
came back a little too often but
that's okay. Let me see. You had

742
00:42:40,230 --> 00:42:45,660
so we both had salad. I had the
iceberg lettuce Waldorf

743
00:42:45,660 --> 00:42:49,440
dressing, which the chef is
apparently quote famous for a

744
00:42:50,100 --> 00:42:53,940
that's what these that's what he
said, Yeah, no dressing. And you

745
00:42:53,940 --> 00:42:57,270
had actually us something you
didn't like your salad was not

746
00:42:57,270 --> 00:42:58,290
what you want. Well, they

747
00:42:58,290 --> 00:43:03,090
had this. They had this blue
cheese dressing on some other

748
00:43:03,090 --> 00:43:05,430
salads, because I have that
dressing on the regular cheap

749
00:43:05,430 --> 00:43:09,330
salad. And just the greens is
what I usually get anyway. And

750
00:43:09,330 --> 00:43:11,220
so they say, oh, yeah, sure, no
problem. So I tried this

751
00:43:11,220 --> 00:43:14,520
dressing. It was so ammoniated
that I just said, you know, I

752
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,940
can't eat this. It's just
terrible. And so they took it

753
00:43:17,940 --> 00:43:21,150
back and gave me the salad in
his in his more common form,

754
00:43:21,390 --> 00:43:24,180
which was had the normal vinegar
at on it, which wasn't that

755
00:43:24,180 --> 00:43:26,040
great either. I've had better

756
00:43:26,070 --> 00:43:28,530
but mine was mine was good,
wasn't it? Because it you had

757
00:43:28,530 --> 00:43:30,270
you had some of my salad. I was
really good.

758
00:43:30,540 --> 00:43:33,000
You're yours was outstanding.
That's what I would get if I

759
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:33,870
went back. Yeah.

760
00:43:34,710 --> 00:43:38,190
Yeah. And that was presented.
All right. It was and it was it

761
00:43:38,190 --> 00:43:41,670
was presented nicely and still
manageable. You could kind of

762
00:43:41,670 --> 00:43:45,210
cut through it. And it wasn't
like falling apart. Right. There

763
00:43:45,210 --> 00:43:50,520
was some thought went into that.
And and then we had, let's see,

764
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:55,710
main course I had the rib steak
of the eighth rib. Whatever the

765
00:43:55,710 --> 00:43:57,780
hell that means. Yeah, who

766
00:43:57,780 --> 00:44:02,940
knows? And you had the what you
have. I had in the Hearst ranch

767
00:44:02,940 --> 00:44:05,490
grass fed New York Strip,

768
00:44:06,150 --> 00:44:09,810
right? Actually, yeah, mine was
actually it wasn't at the eel.

769
00:44:10,530 --> 00:44:13,140
The eel steak. Yeah, the eel
steak a thread. That's what it

770
00:44:13,140 --> 00:44:17,790
was. eel. Eel River river.
River. Yes. What did you break

771
00:44:17,790 --> 00:44:20,610
here? Whatever. So you know,
there's still the best steak

772
00:44:20,610 --> 00:44:23,460
I've had is still in place in
Berkeley called downtown.

773
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:27,480
I was gonna say the steak was
good, but it didn't blow me

774
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:27,900
away.

775
00:44:28,140 --> 00:44:30,600
Now it didn't blow me away
either. I mean, I've had better

776
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,410
meat here. So they didn't do it.
It's not

777
00:44:34,620 --> 00:44:37,530
it wasn't bad. It wasn't bad.
It's just like it was it was

778
00:44:37,530 --> 00:44:39,960
like okay, I've had this I've
had steak before this was good

779
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:46,020
steak. And I know and I had the
their famous horseradish mixed

780
00:44:46,020 --> 00:44:48,810
in with a little bit of a one
steak sauce upon recommendation,

781
00:44:48,810 --> 00:44:51,900
which was a good recommendation,
by the way. That's a that's a

782
00:44:51,900 --> 00:44:52,620
good combo.

783
00:44:52,650 --> 00:44:54,780
Yeah, you ordered a one steak
sauce.

784
00:44:56,220 --> 00:44:58,200
And he brought it out. He said
you should try and mix it with

785
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,830
our famous horseradish And I did
it it's worse right? I didn't

786
00:45:01,830 --> 00:45:04,500
tell I didn't pour it over the
steak. I just know I dipped it

787
00:45:04,500 --> 00:45:07,230
in a little bit. That was great.
But the steak was you know, and

788
00:45:07,230 --> 00:45:09,870
I had a couple pieces with with
nothing on it and was like, man,

789
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,290
yeah, it was a little bland.
Honestly, there was no no taste

790
00:45:13,290 --> 00:45:15,450
enhancement there like your
banana story.

791
00:45:16,020 --> 00:45:19,500
Right? Right. No, I'd say that's
five felt the same way could

792
00:45:19,500 --> 00:45:22,290
have been a little more pumped
up. I think they'd need to

793
00:45:22,290 --> 00:45:23,430
resource their beef.

794
00:45:23,460 --> 00:45:26,820
Yeah, I was just gonna say that
because that you'll you'll river

795
00:45:26,820 --> 00:45:28,410
shit. Who cares?

796
00:45:29,910 --> 00:45:32,850
They want you to just find some
guys got to you know the good

797
00:45:32,850 --> 00:45:36,930
stuff out of Iowa. And screw it
you know, steak house for God's

798
00:45:36,930 --> 00:45:37,170
sake.

799
00:45:38,190 --> 00:45:40,950
However, all of that was
completely put right by your

800
00:45:40,950 --> 00:45:41,850
choice of wine.

801
00:45:44,070 --> 00:45:47,730
Oh, yes, we had a for people out
there who like wine we had a

802
00:45:48,090 --> 00:45:53,730
Caymus which by the way in the
in the 70s used to be pronounced

803
00:45:53,730 --> 00:45:58,410
Caymus. Bye. The owner but
anyway Caymus if you pronounce

804
00:45:58,410 --> 00:46:01,890
it that way people think you're
nuts. That came is 2005

805
00:46:01,890 --> 00:46:03,690
Cabernet, which was absolutely

806
00:46:03,900 --> 00:46:06,900
outstanding, perfect,
outstanding. And they served it

807
00:46:06,900 --> 00:46:11,970
in very appropriate classes. I
really like the big thin walled

808
00:46:11,970 --> 00:46:15,900
glass is just nice. You could
really look at the wine that was

809
00:46:15,930 --> 00:46:16,470
was good.

810
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,850
Now so our discovery during the
process even though there's a

811
00:46:20,850 --> 00:46:23,130
lot of side dishes there and
they're all pretty decent. And

812
00:46:23,130 --> 00:46:23,280
we

813
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,870
had the corn and I had the
mashed potato both fantastic.

814
00:46:27,870 --> 00:46:31,860
You had the chips or french
fries as you would call them you

815
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:37,380
you American swine. That was it.
And you didn't have any any

816
00:46:37,380 --> 00:46:38,160
other vegetables

817
00:46:40,050 --> 00:46:41,850
for your stuff. Right? So

818
00:46:42,749 --> 00:46:44,939
that was all good. But then
you're right dessert french

819
00:46:44,939 --> 00:46:49,559
fries were a little bland. Sad
thing it was our the corn was

820
00:46:49,559 --> 00:46:50,159
excellent.

821
00:46:50,580 --> 00:46:53,910
Yeah, the corn was good. But the
French fries were bland. They

822
00:46:53,910 --> 00:46:57,240
needed to be kinda know what
they could have done Salt,

823
00:46:57,660 --> 00:47:02,070
salt on salt. You're like, Hey,
can I ask them catch up? Give me

824
00:47:02,070 --> 00:47:02,640
some candy.

825
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,910
Served with a Hollandaise sauce
which tasted more like a baron

826
00:47:05,910 --> 00:47:10,260
A's to me. And it didn't really
work. And I don't know why it

827
00:47:10,260 --> 00:47:12,660
was it was too watery. wouldn't
stick to the French fries

828
00:47:12,660 --> 00:47:14,910
though. So that was like not
good. And then they Bryce I

829
00:47:14,910 --> 00:47:16,530
wanted to catch up anyway. So
they brought these little

830
00:47:16,530 --> 00:47:19,410
containers of ketchup these
little, little mini bowls with

831
00:47:19,410 --> 00:47:24,330
the ketchup and and the ketchup
that they chose. seemed to be a

832
00:47:24,450 --> 00:47:26,010
mediocre one. Yeah,

833
00:47:26,490 --> 00:47:28,620
it wasn't no Heinz 57 label man.

834
00:47:29,130 --> 00:47:31,710
Well, whatever it was, it was I
don't think it was homemade

835
00:47:31,710 --> 00:47:35,880
either. So anyway, but the big
discovery we made I think at the

836
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,090
end of the meal you ordered some
sorbets?

837
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:45,840
Yes. Three flavours one was kind
of peachy I think one was like a

838
00:47:46,230 --> 00:47:48,600
I don't remember the third was
that was the one that was the

839
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,330
most spectacular was candle
candle. Oh, yeah.

840
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:56,160
And I had ordered some CalVet
OSA to both of us had some some

841
00:47:56,190 --> 00:48:00,480
gold Calvados and it turns out
that a bite of the cantaloupe

842
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:05,580
sorbet with this sip of the cow
the dose is unbelievably tasty.

843
00:48:05,580 --> 00:48:05,790
We

844
00:48:05,790 --> 00:48:09,120
should put that shit in a bottle
and sell it to teenagers John

845
00:48:11,430 --> 00:48:15,060
add some sugar and we're done.
Now it was unbelievably Nice.

846
00:48:15,060 --> 00:48:20,370
That was really good. To work
with you the CNC the cantaloupe

847
00:48:20,370 --> 00:48:23,910
and Calvados. CNC CNC trying to

848
00:48:24,179 --> 00:48:28,049
check it out if anyone can get a
hold of some cantaloupes sorbet.

849
00:48:28,709 --> 00:48:30,239
Get some calibre dose and see
what

850
00:48:30,599 --> 00:48:34,619
my mouth is actually just
watering thinking about it. That

851
00:48:34,619 --> 00:48:34,949
was

852
00:48:34,980 --> 00:48:37,200
yeah, it was it's I have to say
it was pretty spectacular.

853
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,290
Meanwhile, you should mention
that all the while, of course,

854
00:48:40,290 --> 00:48:42,510
at least at the beginning,
before the meal began, you were

855
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,160
fretting about the fact your
daughter.

856
00:48:45,570 --> 00:48:49,800
Yeah, so Christina, this was
great. Around five o'clock in

857
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,020
the afternoon, and we had
dinner, dinner was early, like

858
00:48:52,020 --> 00:48:56,640
637 o'clock. So at five I got a
text from my daughter and it so

859
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:02,700
five in the afternoon by then it
was it was like 1am She texts me

860
00:49:02,700 --> 00:49:07,170
because she I won this trip at a
charity auction to Disneyland.

861
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:11,130
It was by the way it was
sponsored by Thomas Cook, which

862
00:49:11,130 --> 00:49:14,460
is a famous tour operator,
certainly here in the UK, I

863
00:49:14,460 --> 00:49:18,720
think it's worldwide. And we had
a lot of problems with this to

864
00:49:18,720 --> 00:49:22,020
start off with because we
weren't and we're never gonna

865
00:49:22,020 --> 00:49:25,110
get to Disney. So Christina
said, can I take my my my

866
00:49:25,110 --> 00:49:29,430
friends and we'll use the trip.
So yeah, that's cool. So, you

867
00:49:29,430 --> 00:49:32,730
know, they call up and it was
like in a nice gift bag. And so

868
00:49:32,730 --> 00:49:35,160
Christina called up and they
said, Well, you know, there's

869
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,070
it's only it's on it's off
season blackout dates, and

870
00:49:38,070 --> 00:49:40,530
they're like, you know, and I'm
like, What the fuck is that?

871
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:45,090
That's Do you what kind of gift
is this? So you know, and and

872
00:49:45,090 --> 00:49:48,300
I'm just ranting about it. And
then of course, Patricia she she

873
00:49:48,300 --> 00:49:50,580
was with me at the end. I spent
some good money at this charity

874
00:49:50,580 --> 00:49:55,350
auction you know, I was it was
all shishi poopoo it was a piece

875
00:49:55,350 --> 00:49:57,180
of shit and I would have known
as piece of shit and I wouldn't

876
00:49:57,180 --> 00:50:01,500
feel bad but I felt like it The
Annoying, it was just annoying.

877
00:50:01,890 --> 00:50:07,380
So Patricia gets into it. And
she calls him up. And so finally

878
00:50:07,380 --> 00:50:11,190
all this is arranged and so it
works out. Interestingly, I'm in

879
00:50:11,190 --> 00:50:14,940
San Francisco, Patricia is in
Holland, she's doing another.

880
00:50:15,570 --> 00:50:20,640
Now she's doing popstars, she's
another another jury gig judge

881
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,570
for one of these reality shows.
And so Christina was gonna go

882
00:50:24,570 --> 00:50:28,800
off to Disneyland Paris with a
friend. And so it turns out, you

883
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,170
know, two of them couldn't make
it or whatever. So it's just her

884
00:50:31,170 --> 00:50:34,380
and this other girl, by the way,
two beautiful children of the

885
00:50:34,380 --> 00:50:38,640
sun, you know, just the 1718
year olds, actually, at both 18

886
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:43,260
Now, or Christina is almost 18.
And so they decided, fuck, that

887
00:50:43,260 --> 00:50:45,990
is neat. Let's go off to Paris.
So they had done the Louvre and

888
00:50:45,990 --> 00:50:49,410
then all these new grownup girl
things. And they were good in

889
00:50:49,410 --> 00:50:51,900
Paris, and then they got on the
train to go back. And then they

890
00:50:51,900 --> 00:50:54,900
wind up at one o'clock in the
morning at the end of the line,

891
00:50:55,290 --> 00:51:02,490
in boissy, sent Luxaire which,
if you look at a map is kind of

892
00:51:02,490 --> 00:51:06,240
halfway between the centre of
Paris and Disneyland only to the

893
00:51:06,240 --> 00:51:11,580
south. So it's, it's like a it's
like the province. And it's

894
00:51:11,580 --> 00:51:14,940
dark. And so I get a text
message France, really, and I

895
00:51:14,940 --> 00:51:17,820
get a text message. Christina
says, Daddy, I'm a little bit

896
00:51:17,820 --> 00:51:22,560
worried. And so I call her up.
And, and she's there and there's

897
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,410
like, you know, guys yapping in
French is like the conductor

898
00:51:25,410 --> 00:51:27,840
trying to tell her she needs to
take a bus back to Paris,

899
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,150
because this is, you know,
everyone's asleep in this town.

900
00:51:30,570 --> 00:51:33,600
And so I'm Meanwhile, I'm
zooming in on Google Earth,

901
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,330
right? I can see the station, I
can see what the bus station is.

902
00:51:36,330 --> 00:51:38,730
So it's almost like a matrix.
You know, I'm like, okay, Neo,

903
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,130
take the third door on the
right, you know, so I'm like,

904
00:51:41,130 --> 00:51:45,300
trying to help these kids find a
taxi cab or anything. And then

905
00:51:45,300 --> 00:51:52,980
of course, her. Her phone dies,
her battery's dead. And she'd

906
00:51:52,980 --> 00:51:56,490
also called her mom. So it's
like, 130 in the morning now and

907
00:51:56,490 --> 00:51:59,340
her mom's over there. And she's
tired. And, you know, and so

908
00:51:59,340 --> 00:52:01,500
she's freaking out, because
that's what moms do. You know,

909
00:52:01,500 --> 00:52:04,950
the umbilical cord is still
virtually connected. And so

910
00:52:04,950 --> 00:52:08,010
she's so Patricia is texting me
calling me I'm trying to figure

911
00:52:08,010 --> 00:52:12,300
it out. And so then the other
girl, Didn't she have a phone?

912
00:52:12,300 --> 00:52:17,160
No, of course not. Her phone was
charging back at the hotel. So

913
00:52:17,190 --> 00:52:22,020
you know, strike too. And so now
it's like 2am. And I don't know

914
00:52:22,020 --> 00:52:25,140
where they are. And I'm like,
Okay, I'm getting ready to call

915
00:52:25,140 --> 00:52:27,630
some people that I know, in
France, you know, like, Okay, I

916
00:52:27,630 --> 00:52:29,460
gotta gotta gotta figure this
out, because it's just

917
00:52:29,460 --> 00:52:33,300
worrisome. And, but then I call
her back. And all of a sudden,

918
00:52:33,300 --> 00:52:36,240
she picks up because she met up
with this kind of middle age

919
00:52:36,270 --> 00:52:40,800
couple, like 30s, I guess. And
that she'd put her SIM card in

920
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:45,450
their phone. So that was kind of
smart. And but then I'm like,

921
00:52:45,450 --> 00:52:48,780
you know, all I want is I want
to talk to these people. And I

922
00:52:48,780 --> 00:52:52,020
just want to say, could you
please, you know, put them on

923
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,690
the right bus or whatever. And
my daughter say, now we're on

924
00:52:54,690 --> 00:52:57,510
the bus with them. We're going
to Paris and then from there,

925
00:52:57,510 --> 00:52:59,370
we're going to take a cab to
Disney. So I'm like, Oh, she's

926
00:52:59,370 --> 00:53:03,750
going back to Paris is up there.
Three in the morning. Two girls.

927
00:53:03,780 --> 00:53:06,930
God knows how they're dressed.
You know, I know what they look

928
00:53:06,930 --> 00:53:09,540
like. They're just there to
beautiful, but to be walking

929
00:53:09,540 --> 00:53:13,890
around Paris at 3am. And it
looked like a couple of hookers.

930
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,490
Thank you. And like, you know,
like transsexuals walking

931
00:53:17,490 --> 00:53:21,540
around. So, which, by the way,
is a big thing in Paris on all

932
00:53:21,540 --> 00:53:26,340
the street corners of the shops,
at least a even. So I'm really

933
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,610
Yeah, so I'm like, let me talk
to let me talk to these people.

934
00:53:29,610 --> 00:53:33,540
And you know, my French, low
mediocre. I mean, my French is

935
00:53:33,540 --> 00:53:38,130
worse than Condoleezza Rice is
Russian. And then this woman

936
00:53:38,130 --> 00:53:41,700
should, but I'm like, oh, okay,
so then I'm, yeah, I'm at the

937
00:53:41,700 --> 00:53:45,840
office, right? I'm yelling, does
anybody here speak French. And I

938
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,840
forget who it was one of our
Russian guys says that I can try

939
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,390
and get away with this, or we're
like, in a three way, you know,

940
00:53:51,420 --> 00:53:53,850
and I'll and I'm like, Could you
please, when you get off the

941
00:53:53,850 --> 00:53:57,690
bus, take him to the hotel, and
make sure they get in a cab?

942
00:53:57,720 --> 00:54:00,630
Because, you know, that would be
right, I would really appreciate

943
00:54:00,630 --> 00:54:05,310
that. Anyway, so, you know, at a
certain point, there was no more

944
00:54:05,310 --> 00:54:10,860
contact for about an hour or so.
Maybe, and we're in fact, we're

945
00:54:10,860 --> 00:54:13,050
about to walk into the
restaurant. And you know, and

946
00:54:13,050 --> 00:54:15,420
you and I had agreed that you
know, this is going to be a

947
00:54:15,420 --> 00:54:18,810
great life experience a great
learning lesson for these kids.

948
00:54:18,810 --> 00:54:22,530
And you know, they're 18 and,
and I mean, the logical part of

949
00:54:22,530 --> 00:54:26,250
my brain is saying, absolutely,
but on the but of course, all

950
00:54:26,250 --> 00:54:29,430
the death scenarios and doom are
running through the other. And

951
00:54:29,430 --> 00:54:33,030
Patricia keeps calling and
texting and it's for now four in

952
00:54:33,030 --> 00:54:36,780
the morning, and she's you know,
she's just just freaking out.

953
00:54:36,930 --> 00:54:39,870
Four in the morning Europe time
of Europe time. Yeah. And then

954
00:54:39,900 --> 00:54:43,380
as we sat down to dinner, and
you know, I was like, Man, this

955
00:54:43,380 --> 00:54:46,380
really is ruining the vibe for
this dinner and everything. And

956
00:54:46,380 --> 00:54:48,630
then I get a text message from
Christina. She says we're back

957
00:54:48,630 --> 00:54:54,480
at the hotel we're safe. So that
that enabled me to fully enjoy

958
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:55,830
the bland meat.

959
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:04,170
Yeah. So there's a couple of
things that came up in the

960
00:55:04,170 --> 00:55:07,170
conversation which I wanted to
go over one is your experience

961
00:55:07,170 --> 00:55:10,500
with Virgin America virgin
Virgin Atlantic, you went into a

962
00:55:10,500 --> 00:55:14,160
rant that I think needs to be
reproduced for the public at

963
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:18,780
large. Well, this was when they
won't let you into the, into the

964
00:55:18,780 --> 00:55:20,340
little lounge,

965
00:55:20,399 --> 00:55:25,589
it's really more of an issue. My
personal issue with with Virgin

966
00:55:25,589 --> 00:55:29,009
Atlantic by Ron and I took this
was early, it only just

967
00:55:29,009 --> 00:55:34,109
launched, we took Virgin America
to New York. And actually, we

968
00:55:34,109 --> 00:55:36,029
couldn't even we couldn't
upgrade your first class, which

969
00:55:36,029 --> 00:55:40,769
was kind of a bummer at the
time. But, you know, so I have

970
00:55:40,769 --> 00:55:43,919
my I think I would rather travel
JetBlue just for the for the

971
00:55:43,919 --> 00:55:48,419
seat spacing and the the angle
of bank that you get on your on

972
00:55:48,419 --> 00:55:52,079
your seat back. But that's,
that's not related to the story

973
00:55:52,079 --> 00:55:55,109
necessarily. But on the way
back, we're flying from JFK,

974
00:55:55,439 --> 00:55:59,519
back to San Francisco, San
Francisco. And they don't have a

975
00:55:59,519 --> 00:56:02,579
lounge for Virgin America. You
know, it's a it's a budget

976
00:56:02,579 --> 00:56:05,279
airlines. So that makes sense.
And like, hey, you know, I've

977
00:56:05,279 --> 00:56:09,359
got like, superduper Gold Card
with diamond and crusted status

978
00:56:09,359 --> 00:56:12,059
and Virgin Atlantic, let's go to
their lounge. So we go over to

979
00:56:12,059 --> 00:56:14,489
the lounges. Hey, you know,
we're just we're we're on Virgin

980
00:56:14,489 --> 00:56:17,039
America. So we just like to sit
in the lounge now. I'm sorry,

981
00:56:17,039 --> 00:56:20,879
we, uh, you can't? What do you
mean, I can't? Well, no, that's

982
00:56:20,879 --> 00:56:24,449
a separate company. And it's not
tied into us. And by the way,

983
00:56:24,449 --> 00:56:27,179
the air of the miles are also
not combined, as far as I know,

984
00:56:27,179 --> 00:56:32,969
yet either. The rewards
programme. And, and I could huff

985
00:56:32,969 --> 00:56:35,789
and puff all I wanted, but they
would not let me sit there if I

986
00:56:35,789 --> 00:56:37,559
wasn't flying on Virgin
Atlantic.

987
00:56:37,890 --> 00:56:41,250
You know what I was thinking
about this? It's about it.

988
00:56:41,250 --> 00:56:41,550
Because,

989
00:56:42,510 --> 00:56:45,780
well, Virgin Atlantic is at
fault there. I feel. Yeah, but

990
00:56:45,780 --> 00:56:51,300
here's what I'm thinking. There
is a protectionist thing that

991
00:56:51,300 --> 00:56:54,420
goes on that doesn't allow
international carriers to carry

992
00:56:54,420 --> 00:56:59,970
domestic travel in the US. In
other words, Singapore could

993
00:57:02,340 --> 00:57:03,510
totally why it was done.

994
00:57:03,930 --> 00:57:09,180
Now let me finish. Okay.
Singapore, for example, can't

995
00:57:09,210 --> 00:57:11,190
you know, even though they might
stop in San Francisco, and then

996
00:57:11,190 --> 00:57:15,030
go on to New York, from from
Singapore from Hong Kong, they

997
00:57:15,030 --> 00:57:17,430
can't pick anybody up in San
Francisco and take him to New

998
00:57:17,430 --> 00:57:20,160
York, which I think is idiotic.
But that's the way it is because

999
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,970
of the way we have restrictive
laws, you know, so our free

1000
00:57:23,970 --> 00:57:26,640
market are a fantastic free
market where there's no

1001
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:31,140
regulation, apparently, isn't
that free? I think that they

1002
00:57:31,170 --> 00:57:34,710
probably have some sort of a
memo that we have to keep these

1003
00:57:34,710 --> 00:57:39,870
two companies so separate. Yet
no matter what, that if you even

1004
00:57:39,870 --> 00:57:42,300
mentioned Virginia, you probably
could have gotten into that

1005
00:57:42,300 --> 00:57:43,410
lounge if you had never seen

1006
00:57:44,490 --> 00:57:48,000
Virgin America. Yep. Well, so
you may recall that Virgin

1007
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,490
America had a tough time
launching and they they

1008
00:57:50,490 --> 00:57:53,100
literally had planes sitting in
the desert for I think about a

1009
00:57:53,100 --> 00:57:56,460
year. And it was exactly that
reason. And then Arnold

1010
00:57:56,460 --> 00:58:00,030
Schwarzenegger pulled the
trigger on some law that allowed

1011
00:58:00,030 --> 00:58:04,710
them to operate. So I think
there's there's even a law that

1012
00:58:04,710 --> 00:58:09,000
you can't operate as a foreign
owner of a foreign airline, you

1013
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,890
can't operate a domestic US
airline. And I think they split

1014
00:58:13,890 --> 00:58:16,290
it up into two companies for
that very reason. Then

1015
00:58:16,290 --> 00:58:20,910
Schwarzenegger changed some law
or approved some thing that

1016
00:58:20,940 --> 00:58:23,760
essentially let them let them
operate. But you're absolutely

1017
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:28,050
right. There's no carry on. And
that's part of the Open Skies

1018
00:58:28,050 --> 00:58:32,370
agreement. There's all kinds of
shady stuff that will shady I

1019
00:58:32,370 --> 00:58:34,440
wouldn't say that maybe shady.
But yeah, I think you're

1020
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,800
absolutely right. There's they
probably can't even talk about

1021
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:38,310
each other.

1022
00:58:39,540 --> 00:58:43,350
Yeah, which is the joke. I mean,
the fact of the matter is the

1023
00:58:43,350 --> 00:58:47,040
you know, I've flown Virgin
America a couple of times now to

1024
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:50,790
Seattle. And it's it's a 10 time
is 10 times better than anything

1025
00:58:50,790 --> 00:58:52,740
else right now to go back and
forth. I don't

1026
00:58:52,740 --> 00:58:56,040
like blue better. Does Jet Blue
fly up to Seattle?

1027
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,400
No, not, not from here. They
fly. They think they fly to

1028
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:01,500
Seattle from Long Beach or
something like that. But I'd

1029
00:59:01,500 --> 00:59:05,490
like to fly to Long Beach and
then fly up there. There's no

1030
00:59:05,490 --> 00:59:07,980
direct flight, but no JetBlue I
like a lot too. But there's

1031
00:59:07,980 --> 00:59:11,640
something about the you know,
they do these auctions at the

1032
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,220
end of the day, if there's any
first class seats, they'll sell

1033
00:59:14,220 --> 00:59:18,720
them for nothing. So I upgrade
for 50 bucks to first class and

1034
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:22,350
I get like his five course meal.
I mean, they really it's like,

1035
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:25,470
it's like I've never had so much
food on such a short flight.

1036
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:30,450
Except on a foreign carrier like
one time I flew from Taiwan to I

1037
00:59:30,450 --> 00:59:34,110
think it was an hour flight from
Taiwan to someplace like Taiwan

1038
00:59:34,110 --> 00:59:37,560
or Hong Kong or something. Or
Japan not sure. But anyway, it

1039
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,860
was like an hour, but meanwhile
they serve to like a 20 course

1040
00:59:40,860 --> 00:59:42,510
meal. Unbelievable.

1041
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:47,340
Well, when when I actually
arrived part of the story didn't

1042
00:59:47,340 --> 00:59:50,790
tell when I arrived last Sunday
is my bag didn't show up with

1043
00:59:50,790 --> 00:59:56,100
me. And it was going to come on
the on the flight the next day.

1044
00:59:56,310 --> 00:59:59,460
And I was I was pissed off like
you know, this is very

1045
00:59:59,460 --> 01:00:02,730
expensive. In fact, it's gotten,
it's the price of my ticket has

1046
01:00:02,730 --> 01:00:06,300
gone up another 20 or 25%, since
I last flew, so that's only in

1047
01:00:06,300 --> 01:00:10,860
four or five months time. And
I'm like, and I said, What do

1048
01:00:10,860 --> 01:00:13,830
you do for people who paid this
amount of money and their bank

1049
01:00:13,830 --> 01:00:17,190
doesn't show up? What what do
you do about that? Well, this

1050
01:00:17,190 --> 01:00:21,210
woman at the back counter she
obviously wasn't she there's

1051
01:00:21,210 --> 01:00:23,190
nothing she could do. So I just
let it go. But it

1052
01:00:23,190 --> 01:00:25,890
will wait before it. Can you
prefaces? Will you did the

1053
01:00:25,890 --> 01:00:28,500
flight leave early? Or did you
check in late? Is that why the

1054
01:00:28,500 --> 01:00:29,820
bag was delayed? No, in fact,

1055
01:00:29,820 --> 01:00:33,180
the No, I mean, because the
Virgin picks you up. So you

1056
01:00:33,180 --> 01:00:36,150
know, it's all door to door
service, everything's taken care

1057
01:00:36,150 --> 01:00:38,250
of, and they take your bag, they
do all the checking in

1058
01:00:38,250 --> 01:00:40,800
everything. The flight was
actually even delayed by two

1059
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:42,750
hours, which is probably the
reason cuz it was probably

1060
01:00:42,750 --> 01:00:45,240
sitting around somewhere and
then, you know, gotten mixed up

1061
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:49,560
as shit happens. unfortunate,
but you know, I do know that

1062
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,770
with British Airways, they
immediately come out with all

1063
01:00:52,770 --> 01:00:55,320
kinds of compensation. And I'm
just saying, Listen, you know,

1064
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,200
I'm thinking three days Necker
Island, I'm like, okay, Branson,

1065
01:00:58,410 --> 01:01:02,400
I'm gonna get you for this. So I
fire off an email to my personal

1066
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:08,160
travel assistance at Virgin, the
Pam's personal advance Travel

1067
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:11,430
Management System, whatever the
hell it is. And I say the same

1068
01:01:11,430 --> 01:01:12,960
thing. It's like, you know,
here's what happened, you know,

1069
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,650
what do you guys do for this?
Well, Oh, I'm so sorry. We're

1070
01:01:16,650 --> 01:01:19,680
sending it off to Richard
Branson's executive assistant.

1071
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,820
And, and when I got home, there
was indeed a letter from Richard

1072
01:01:23,820 --> 01:01:27,840
Branson's office that said we're
so sorry. And by the way, they

1073
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,270
totally knew because from the
minute I set foot in the

1074
01:01:30,300 --> 01:01:34,530
airport, they were all over me.
You know, how the, you know, if

1075
01:01:34,530 --> 01:01:37,650
you're, if your gold card on
some of these international

1076
01:01:37,650 --> 01:01:41,370
flights and the flight services
director, so basically, the, the

1077
01:01:41,370 --> 01:01:46,410
chief steward or stewardess will
who runs all the cabin

1078
01:01:46,410 --> 01:01:48,930
personnel, they'll come up and
they'll say, how you doing Mr.

1079
01:01:48,930 --> 01:01:51,060
Curry? And you know, they'll
make give a little personal

1080
01:01:51,060 --> 01:01:56,400
touch to it. Right. And, but so
this so the flight services

1081
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,980
director sits down and you know,
is there anything we can do for

1082
01:01:58,980 --> 01:02:03,360
you, Mr. Curry and out of my
mouth comes? Yeah, some pole

1083
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:07,260
dancers perhaps. A and without
blinking. She says, I'll have

1084
01:02:07,260 --> 01:02:11,910
Naomi come over in a minute. I
swear to God and Nomi was very

1085
01:02:11,910 --> 01:02:12,840
cute stewardess

1086
01:02:13,620 --> 01:02:15,600
when I was like, give you a pole
dance. No.

1087
01:02:17,730 --> 01:02:20,010
But that, but I just thought it
was so funny. I was like, Ah,

1088
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:26,460
okay. And now me over. So,
anyway, so give me 10,000 miles

1089
01:02:26,460 --> 01:02:29,070
and I think 200 pounds.

1090
01:02:31,050 --> 01:02:34,290
Not bad. It's better to poke an
eye with a sharp stick.

1091
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:36,840
Yeah, but I just wanted someone
to apologise. Just you know,

1092
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,090
come on in. There's a lot of
money goes into that company.

1093
01:02:39,780 --> 01:02:42,360
Well, now now I know that to
finish the story, you told me

1094
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:45,120
that the bag was maybe not going
to be shipped to you?

1095
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,300
Oh, if Yeah, so then they wanted
me to come to the airport.

1096
01:02:48,300 --> 01:02:51,390
Because there were some issues
with that didn't really want to

1097
01:02:51,390 --> 01:02:54,930
put my bag on the aircraft on
accompanied because it was quote

1098
01:02:54,930 --> 01:03:01,200
filled with equipment and wires.
So yeah, I can tell you exactly

1099
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:03,780
what it is each item I know it
well. Do you have a CarNet for

1100
01:03:03,780 --> 01:03:07,350
that, which is like an
international document of like a

1101
01:03:07,350 --> 01:03:09,990
customs thing? Is it? No, it's
just, you know, just some shit

1102
01:03:09,990 --> 01:03:13,500
that I use, you know, it's like
I'm, I'm a podcast or leave me

1103
01:03:13,500 --> 01:03:14,670
alone. You know,

1104
01:03:14,670 --> 01:03:20,400
I remember back back in the 70s.
The showing my age, of course.

1105
01:03:20,610 --> 01:03:23,790
But when you travel, even with a
camera, yeah, you had to have

1106
01:03:23,790 --> 01:03:26,820
customs forms for it, you had to
have a form for it. Because if

1107
01:03:26,820 --> 01:03:29,040
you went took the camera out of
the country took it back in,

1108
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,110
they don't know if you're gonna
sell it over there. If you

1109
01:03:31,110 --> 01:03:34,110
bought it new and you bought it
and you're trying to get it in

1110
01:03:34,110 --> 01:03:36,660
without paying duty. And there
was this big event which we had

1111
01:03:36,660 --> 01:03:39,660
to go with a bunch of
documentation and flyer if that

1112
01:03:39,660 --> 01:03:42,240
was still in play today with all
the crap that people carry

1113
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:46,530
around the iPods and laptops and
this into that they would just

1114
01:03:46,710 --> 01:03:49,530
be walking around with a binder
full of stuff for bakwin.

1115
01:03:49,950 --> 01:03:54,930
Let's see. This is probably it
maybe 18 years ago I remember

1116
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:59,160
maybe even a little bit longer I
remember leaving the air I

1117
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,760
leaving the Netherlands and I
had my watch on it was still new

1118
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,640
and shiny then and they said
here's this form so what's that

1119
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:10,080
for? Well, you need to write
down your watch and and declared

1120
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,570
because a it has to come back
into the country and when you've

1121
01:04:12,570 --> 01:04:14,460
come back to the country,
they'll certainly want to try

1122
01:04:14,460 --> 01:04:18,510
and charge you import duty on
it. Like it's on my fucking

1123
01:04:18,510 --> 01:04:21,450
wrist. Yeah, but it looks new.

1124
01:04:22,650 --> 01:04:25,320
Well, they just Yeah, and there
was a lot of smuggling going on

1125
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,170
people you know, women would go
there's always the story but you

1126
01:04:28,170 --> 01:04:31,290
know, they go to Europe and buy
a fur coat and a bunch of

1127
01:04:31,290 --> 01:04:34,320
diamonds and they walked waltz
through customs on the way back

1128
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:37,020
as though it's their you know
that they walked out with it. So

1129
01:04:37,020 --> 01:04:37,230
here's

1130
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,960
here's my question with all of
that, you know, tightness on

1131
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,510
smuggling with all of the I
mean, look at what I'm going

1132
01:04:42,510 --> 01:04:47,760
through with the border. Look at
all the the border security and

1133
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:51,930
War on Terror Homeland Security
protectionism, how is it

1134
01:04:51,930 --> 01:04:57,750
possible that all these drugs
from Afghanistan and places of

1135
01:04:57,750 --> 01:05:02,910
this nature makes it into the To
the west, into Europe into

1136
01:05:02,940 --> 01:05:06,390
England into the United States.
And it's cheap

1137
01:05:06,870 --> 01:05:09,450
by the tonne hockey by the
tonnes.

1138
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,430
I mean, how does that work?

1139
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:14,340
I know it's good to kick out as
somebody who always discovers a

1140
01:05:14,550 --> 01:05:18,900
five tonnes of some drug and
you're thinking that's obviously

1141
01:05:18,900 --> 01:05:21,390
must be a spit in the bucket
because it doesn't affect the

1142
01:05:21,390 --> 01:05:23,520
prices on the street the stuff
still coming in

1143
01:05:23,550 --> 01:05:28,800
now here in the UK all the nasty
shit like cocaine and heroin is

1144
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:35,520
cheaper than marijuana. Yeah.
Now it makes you wonder what the

1145
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,260
Brits are doing there in
Afghanistan.

1146
01:05:38,340 --> 01:05:42,330
Obviously, they're setting up
conduits to move tonnes of drugs

1147
01:05:42,330 --> 01:05:44,400
Well, you can't bring your watch
in

1148
01:05:44,460 --> 01:05:48,120
well and this is that whole Iran
Contra thing that's exactly what

1149
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:50,700
this was about. It's like they'd
send the dope back the dope

1150
01:05:50,700 --> 01:05:54,030
would be sold the dope would
then be used to buy weapons and

1151
01:05:54,030 --> 01:05:58,140
the weapons would go back. I
mean, seems like a perfect scam.

1152
01:06:00,300 --> 01:06:05,430
Well, it's a it's a, let's say a
grey market. Very grey.

1153
01:06:07,110 --> 01:06:14,310
Which I think brings us to my
favourite topic. Now wait a

1154
01:06:14,310 --> 01:06:20,130
minute. I got something else.
This is great. The Spanish

1155
01:06:20,130 --> 01:06:24,660
government all came back for an
emergency meeting yesterday

1156
01:06:25,410 --> 01:06:27,570
because the economy is
collapsing.

1157
01:06:29,340 --> 01:06:34,140
It is economy of Spain is
collapsing.

1158
01:06:34,170 --> 01:06:38,100
Yes. This is Italy Yeah, this is
an art well they've the they've

1159
01:06:38,100 --> 01:06:41,040
been really you know, Spain was
in this huge overdevelopment

1160
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:44,160
mode of new buildings based
based, you know, second homes

1161
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:48,030
for a lot of Europeans. And
there's just you know, so much

1162
01:06:48,030 --> 01:06:52,170
money and all the all the, you
know, the big art and

1163
01:06:52,170 --> 01:06:54,690
architecture, all the big
building firms, all these

1164
01:06:54,690 --> 01:06:57,630
gangster guys, they're all there
in Marbella, and they're all

1165
01:06:57,630 --> 01:07:04,530
hanging out and so Zapatero, who
was I think, Zapatero is the

1166
01:07:04,530 --> 01:07:08,640
Spanish Prime Minister had his
entire cabinet come back

1167
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,880
yesterday from vacation he came
back from vacation as well

1168
01:07:13,710 --> 01:07:16,410
well, there's story after story
here Spanish government cut

1169
01:07:16,410 --> 01:07:20,460
short holiday as economy
collapses you go socialist

1170
01:07:20,460 --> 01:07:25,320
Spain's economic collapse blog,
August, global economic collapse

1171
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:28,530
begins. First one to pop is
Spain.

1172
01:07:29,250 --> 01:07:31,050
And it's going to happen all
over Europe.

1173
01:07:32,940 --> 01:07:34,830
Well, that'll bring the dollar
back up to snuff.

1174
01:07:35,190 --> 01:07:39,120
Well, that's it I'd read an
interesting theory on that the

1175
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:45,510
theory is that that this is
actually it's it's a scam Yeah,

1176
01:07:45,510 --> 01:07:47,280
it's gonna the dollar geek it's
a

1177
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:50,940
scam. It is a scam everything.
That's what we that's all we

1178
01:07:50,940 --> 01:07:52,590
That's the theme of our show.
It's a

1179
01:07:52,590 --> 01:07:57,480
scam get mo nation. It's a scam.
Come on Georgia. Yes, you can

1180
01:07:59,490 --> 01:08:04,260
see if I can find that. I saw
some was a really good article

1181
01:08:04,260 --> 01:08:08,790
about it. Really, really showing
in depth how, you know, this,

1182
01:08:08,820 --> 01:08:13,710
the, the problem is, the US has
now and I don't have proof of

1183
01:08:13,710 --> 01:08:17,010
this. But it's starting to
default on some of these loans.

1184
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:24,840
Near like, the 9 trillion or so
that we have. And it's all about

1185
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:28,290
pegging the external currencies.
Once you know, this is about the

1186
01:08:28,290 --> 01:08:32,520
pegging. I don't really
understand it, honestly. But the

1187
01:08:32,580 --> 01:08:35,820
it's about the all these other
currencies being pegged to the

1188
01:08:35,820 --> 01:08:39,960
dollar. But that it's still
going to it's going to be but

1189
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:43,050
yes in the short term dollar up.
Absolutely.

1190
01:08:44,190 --> 01:08:48,570
Good. So I'm looking here at a
article from March 9 2008 With

1191
01:08:48,570 --> 01:08:52,470
this new Spain goes to poll this
is somewhat a while ago, Spain

1192
01:08:52,470 --> 01:08:56,730
goes to polls in shadow of
financial woes and terror

1193
01:08:56,730 --> 01:08:59,580
threats so this has started this
started a while back I guess it

1194
01:08:59,580 --> 01:09:03,660
is now coming to a head i It's
all based on these you know on

1195
01:09:03,660 --> 01:09:04,650
buildings You're right.

1196
01:09:05,070 --> 01:09:09,030
And and I also didn't notice it
kind of happened this week was

1197
01:09:09,030 --> 01:09:12,540
in the states the pound just
took a beating against the

1198
01:09:12,540 --> 01:09:15,630
dollar. I mean, I mean, I'm
we're talking massive, like 15

1199
01:09:15,630 --> 01:09:16,680
cents or something.

1200
01:09:17,370 --> 01:09:19,050
Bout time. Yeah.

1201
01:09:19,589 --> 01:09:23,309
I agree. Being paid in dollars.
I totally agree. I think it's

1202
01:09:23,309 --> 01:09:25,679
way over. We're way overdue for
that correction.

1203
01:09:26,370 --> 01:09:29,130
Yeah, we'll get back to buck 50
which is really what is

1204
01:09:29,130 --> 01:09:33,240
traditionally has been over the
aeons. Although it's you know,

1205
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:35,970
approached a one to one thing a
couple of times never quite made

1206
01:09:35,970 --> 01:09:39,600
it that I did, at least in my
lifetime. But

1207
01:09:40,620 --> 01:09:42,180
I'm not sure what I'm what do
you mean?

1208
01:09:42,690 --> 01:09:45,660
Well, I mean, the dollar to
pound ratio traditionally is

1209
01:09:45,660 --> 01:09:48,900
about a buck and a half for a
pound has usually been about

1210
01:09:48,900 --> 01:09:52,470
that. Yeah. And but it one time,
I think it was in the 70s just

1211
01:09:52,470 --> 01:09:54,540
sort of sort of No, it was in
the 70s It must have been the

1212
01:09:54,540 --> 01:09:58,350
80s I'm not sure. But it was get
going. So I think it was like a

1213
01:09:58,350 --> 01:10:01,650
buck 25 I got that low. Oh, when
I'm thinking, wow, this thing

1214
01:10:01,650 --> 01:10:04,830
could go to a one to one and be
kind of cool. But that was the

1215
01:10:04,830 --> 01:10:08,040
end of that. So anyway, it looks
like it is the construction

1216
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,890
industry that's triggered this
whole thing which is interesting

1217
01:10:10,890 --> 01:10:14,670
and sadly, with a glut of this
is back in March again, with a

1218
01:10:14,670 --> 01:10:20,520
glut of around 500,000 new flats
nationwide. Yeah, and the credit

1219
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:22,680
squeeze sales have dropped 50%
It's

1220
01:10:22,710 --> 01:10:25,590
always the building industries
and in Europe, the all these

1221
01:10:25,590 --> 01:10:29,610
builders, they're, I mean, it's
all they're all in cartels,

1222
01:10:29,610 --> 01:10:31,470
they're you know, once in a
while they get slapped on the

1223
01:10:31,470 --> 01:10:34,620
wrist. But you know, they're all
really heavily tied into

1224
01:10:34,620 --> 01:10:36,450
government because all
development of course, as

1225
01:10:36,450 --> 01:10:39,810
approved by government, it's all
connected to each other. So, you

1226
01:10:39,810 --> 01:10:42,480
know, when that shit unravels, I
mean, that's going to be really

1227
01:10:42,510 --> 01:10:43,200
messy.

1228
01:10:44,670 --> 01:10:46,980
Particularly interesting when we
read this one to this same

1229
01:10:46,980 --> 01:10:51,300
article, but Francisco Fernando
village, a mammoth development

1230
01:10:51,300 --> 01:10:54,960
of 13,000 Flats beside the
motorway. 20 miles south of

1231
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:57,510
Madrid is the most dramatic
example of the worry that looms

1232
01:10:57,510 --> 01:11:01,080
largest with the voters as you
approach this gleaming new town

1233
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:06,510
outside Senia you glimpse sky
through unglazed Windows blocks

1234
01:11:07,140 --> 01:11:10,350
remain unfinished cranes soar
into the brazen scanning of

1235
01:11:10,350 --> 01:11:13,140
Connecticut and carry with the
writing and close up their

1236
01:11:13,140 --> 01:11:16,860
silence. There's no roaring
building site but a ghost town

1237
01:11:16,860 --> 01:11:21,360
chills by winds that whip the
bleak Castilian plain, writing

1238
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:21,780
this thing.

1239
01:11:22,590 --> 01:11:24,090
We just heard the wind endings.

1240
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:29,910
Elizabeth Nash, she has to be
she wants to be a novelist, I

1241
01:11:29,910 --> 01:11:30,330
guess.

1242
01:11:30,749 --> 01:11:35,519
Oh, man. This is uh, this is a
fun one. Last week I mentioned

1243
01:11:35,519 --> 01:11:37,739
something that you said was
getting snowing. Now of course,

1244
01:11:37,739 --> 01:11:42,149
the John Edward story is
everywhere. Right. But there's

1245
01:11:42,179 --> 01:11:44,999
there is an interesting,
interesting little link to this

1246
01:11:44,999 --> 01:11:47,729
what I which I just found out
when I got back the this

1247
01:11:47,729 --> 01:11:54,989
afternoon that Fred Baron who is
the I guess either was or is I

1248
01:11:54,989 --> 01:12:00,479
guess was Edwards, finance
director. He's a lawyer, a

1249
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:04,919
prominent Texas lawyer. Now, of
course, this kind of fits into

1250
01:12:04,919 --> 01:12:10,649
the blog o sphere, where, you
know, Robert Scoble had a

1251
01:12:10,649 --> 01:12:15,089
picture of because he was on the
plane on the campaign plane when

1252
01:12:15,089 --> 01:12:18,959
a couple of bloggers were
invited to go along with

1253
01:12:18,959 --> 01:12:22,769
Edwards. And Scoble had a
picture of Edwards in this

1254
01:12:22,799 --> 01:12:23,969
girlfriend of his.

1255
01:12:24,480 --> 01:12:27,660
And so that really Oh, Scoble
takes pictures of everything.

1256
01:12:27,660 --> 01:12:28,050
Right.

1257
01:12:28,050 --> 01:12:30,030
So I mean, you know, eventually
Scoble is going to have a

1258
01:12:30,030 --> 01:12:34,770
picture of everything exactly.
But also on the plane was rocket

1259
01:12:34,770 --> 01:12:39,450
boom, rocket boom. And now all
these things click together. Now

1260
01:12:39,450 --> 01:12:42,450
I know where this guy is such an
arrogant little prick. That's

1261
01:12:42,450 --> 01:12:48,060
Andrew Baron who was Fred Baron
son. So now suddenly puts rocket

1262
01:12:48,060 --> 01:12:52,380
boom in a very different
perspective. And very interest

1263
01:12:52,380 --> 01:12:56,550
just get bought by somebody. No,
the they sold the, quote,

1264
01:12:56,550 --> 01:12:59,670
distribution rights to Sony. But
what's interesting is that Fred

1265
01:12:59,670 --> 01:13:04,770
Barron, he's invested hundreds
of 1000s of dollars in rocket

1266
01:13:04,770 --> 01:13:13,290
boom, up to $800,000. And so
essentially, you know, by by

1267
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:15,780
letting rocket boom, come on the
plane, you know, there's all

1268
01:13:15,780 --> 01:13:20,010
kinds of conflicts of interest
there. It's, it's helping a

1269
01:13:20,010 --> 01:13:22,500
business interest of his getting
more exposure. I mean, there's

1270
01:13:22,500 --> 01:13:25,290
all kinds of stuff there. That's
a little little fishy. I just

1271
01:13:25,290 --> 01:13:28,590
thought it was very interesting,
because I always wondered how

1272
01:13:28,590 --> 01:13:31,380
the hell they do it. Like, where
are they getting their money

1273
01:13:31,380 --> 01:13:34,620
from? Who's Who's paying for all
that? They can't all be working

1274
01:13:34,620 --> 01:13:35,190
for free.

1275
01:13:36,030 --> 01:13:40,260
Yeah, well, apparently there.
It's, I don't know. Actually

1276
01:13:40,260 --> 01:13:44,130
Andrews there. I've always kind
of. I've never disliked a guy.

1277
01:13:45,270 --> 01:13:48,240
But I don't know how he makes
any money either. I've always

1278
01:13:48,270 --> 01:13:48,990
been baffled by

1279
01:13:48,990 --> 01:13:52,950
it. Well, he doesn't he his dad
pays for it. Yeah, well, that's.

1280
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:55,290
That's okay. It's just the

1281
01:13:55,650 --> 01:14:02,130
it's a model. accurately, right.
So what's your business model?

1282
01:14:02,190 --> 01:14:03,300
My dad, my dad.

1283
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:12,450
My dad pays for it. Funny. Looks
like this was another good one

1284
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:17,610
that I've picked up. Growing
deaths from New York Times

1285
01:14:17,610 --> 01:14:19,950
growing doubts from scientists
about the strength of the

1286
01:14:19,950 --> 01:14:23,850
government's case against the
late Bruce E. Ivan's, the

1287
01:14:23,850 --> 01:14:26,940
military researcher named as the
anthrax killer are forcing the

1288
01:14:26,940 --> 01:14:29,760
Justice Department to begin
disclosing more fully the

1289
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:33,750
scientific evidence it used to
implicate him. And I'll just

1290
01:14:33,750 --> 01:14:40,230
remind you that they used new
scientific methods. So you Yeah,

1291
01:14:40,260 --> 01:14:42,210
remember, don't remember that.
It was like they had some new

1292
01:14:42,210 --> 01:14:45,210
way to trace back these spores
to this flask.

1293
01:14:45,659 --> 01:14:48,749
Yeah, to the one flask that he
had the only one had total

1294
01:14:48,749 --> 01:14:51,359
control over the flask, no
matter that he was working for

1295
01:14:51,359 --> 01:14:54,269
other people, but he had the
total control and that must be

1296
01:14:54,269 --> 01:14:59,849
it and that's why he committed
suicide somehow, so he committed

1297
01:14:59,849 --> 01:15:02,909
to to say bye bye eating Tylenol
much Tylenol.

1298
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:06,510
And actually we were talking
about that because we had a

1299
01:15:06,510 --> 01:15:09,030
discussion about paracetamol. A
lot of people said, hey, you

1300
01:15:09,030 --> 01:15:11,490
know, it's paracetamol. If you
take too much of it, you

1301
01:15:11,490 --> 01:15:13,980
actually, you know, you can get
your liver can fail, and you can

1302
01:15:13,980 --> 01:15:17,610
die. And so Okay, and so and
then we're thinking, Well, wait

1303
01:15:17,610 --> 01:15:20,970
a minute, that's what's in
Tylenol. So. So if he took

1304
01:15:20,970 --> 01:15:24,300
massive quantities of Tylenol,
which could actually be deadly,

1305
01:15:24,510 --> 01:15:26,400
it would probably take a couple
days.

1306
01:15:28,260 --> 01:15:31,740
Yeah, I don't think it kills you
very quickly. But the thing is,

1307
01:15:31,830 --> 01:15:34,620
that's what I think we brought
this up to it to dinner, which

1308
01:15:34,620 --> 01:15:38,130
was that it's become like, and I
hate to use the word overused

1309
01:15:38,130 --> 01:15:42,930
the word meme. But the idea that
you would go to a counter and

1310
01:15:42,930 --> 01:15:45,510
buy two bottles, and then the
cash register would say, No, you

1311
01:15:45,510 --> 01:15:48,750
can't buy this much out of the
blue, because that's never

1312
01:15:48,750 --> 01:15:51,840
happened before. Maybe just a
way of getting it into the

1313
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:55,440
public's consciousness that this
stuff is toxic, so no one's

1314
01:15:55,440 --> 01:15:59,460
going to question his crazy
suicide, which may have not been

1315
01:15:59,460 --> 01:16:00,450
a suicide at all.

1316
01:16:00,990 --> 01:16:04,440
But you know, I've gotten a lot
of email from people saying that

1317
01:16:04,440 --> 01:16:07,740
you really don't want to OD on
paracetamol,

1318
01:16:08,820 --> 01:16:12,630
right or Tylenol? You don't want
to use tylenol. If you drink

1319
01:16:12,630 --> 01:16:13,710
alcohol, you don't

1320
01:16:13,710 --> 01:16:17,340
you don't really need that at
all. In fact, you know, often

1321
01:16:17,340 --> 01:16:19,800
the reason your headache goes
away when you have an aspirin is

1322
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:21,360
because you're drinking water.

1323
01:16:22,890 --> 01:16:25,500
Seriously, yeah, it's probably
some truth to that.

1324
01:16:27,090 --> 01:16:28,890
So anyway, so it looks like
they're gonna have to come out

1325
01:16:28,890 --> 01:16:31,620
with new with with backing, they
have to backup all of their so

1326
01:16:31,620 --> 01:16:35,760
called evidence this week. So
that's good. I'll be looking out

1327
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:41,610
for that. That's kind of cool.
Okay, I got to talk about

1328
01:16:41,610 --> 01:16:42,180
Clinton.

1329
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:46,830
Go. I was hoping we just forget
about it. No, no, no, no, no,

1330
01:16:46,830 --> 01:16:49,110
because I haven't I have another
piece of the puzzle. I've got

1331
01:16:49,110 --> 01:16:52,410
another piece. It's all
happening. It's unfolding. Okay.

1332
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:56,490
So amidst all this, I missed all
the shit we just talked about

1333
01:16:56,490 --> 01:16:57,330
for the past. Well, Can

1334
01:16:57,330 --> 01:17:01,110
Can I draw a premise? And just
to add a little spice before you

1335
01:17:01,110 --> 01:17:01,650
begin with?

1336
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:05,640
Adam is not so that was that the
premise? No, that I think this

1337
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:05,790
was

1338
01:17:05,790 --> 01:17:08,460
all triggered by the fact that
we are both of a slightly

1339
01:17:08,460 --> 01:17:11,310
suspicious of Hillary's
intentions at the convention.

1340
01:17:11,339 --> 01:17:14,429
Yes, in more ways than one. And
that, of course, started with

1341
01:17:14,429 --> 01:17:17,999
her not cancelling her campaign,
but a suspension of her

1342
01:17:17,999 --> 01:17:25,439
campaign. I've never forgotten
that. So this guy, the leader of

1343
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:31,439
the Democratic Party in
Arkansas, I'm sorry, I'm just

1344
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:34,529
saying this guy. That's kind of
disrespectful because he's dead.

1345
01:17:34,799 --> 01:17:38,729
Bill, gwatney Chairman of the
Arkansas Democratic Party, and

1346
01:17:38,729 --> 01:17:42,629
personal friend of the Clintons
was murdered last Wednesday.

1347
01:17:44,099 --> 01:17:48,599
And, you know, it was one it was
one of those crazy murders. And

1348
01:17:48,599 --> 01:17:51,809
so I started you know, I can't
remember exactly why but, but

1349
01:17:51,809 --> 01:17:54,689
I'm sure something flashed
somewhere on a website. And I'm

1350
01:17:54,689 --> 01:17:58,979
like, Clinton, body count. Hey,
that's interesting. So I started

1351
01:17:58,979 --> 01:18:02,579
looking at how many people who
are friends acquaintances or

1352
01:18:02,579 --> 01:18:05,519
business partners of the
Clintons have wound up dead?

1353
01:18:06,089 --> 01:18:10,169
Holy crap. I mean, this list is
I mean, what do you think John?

1354
01:18:10,199 --> 01:18:11,399
50 people maybe?

1355
01:18:12,089 --> 01:18:14,969
Yeah, and that's probably good.
I'm sure there's others that we

1356
01:18:14,969 --> 01:18:15,719
don't know about.

1357
01:18:15,959 --> 01:18:19,619
I mean, I'm talking his personal
bodyguards is envoy as of course

1358
01:18:19,619 --> 01:18:26,849
we all know about the whitewater
affair and I mean, just and it's

1359
01:18:26,849 --> 01:18:30,509
all either suicide or Vince
Foster didn't foster That's

1360
01:18:30,509 --> 01:18:33,809
right. And it's it's all either
a suicide but it's all death by

1361
01:18:33,809 --> 01:18:38,129
gunshot even no Tylenol
involved, you know, shot in the

1362
01:18:38,129 --> 01:18:43,109
face and then this whole Mina,
which was, you know, goes back

1363
01:18:43,109 --> 01:18:47,729
to our drug smuggling things,
just me and there's actually, I

1364
01:18:47,729 --> 01:18:52,169
put, I put this documentary,
which is, did you watch that

1365
01:18:52,169 --> 01:18:56,519
documentary? I send you the link
to it yet. It's well done. Man.

1366
01:18:56,519 --> 01:18:58,679
This thing is a couple of years
old, but it's really well done.

1367
01:18:58,679 --> 01:19:00,779
And it goes through all of the
Clintons background, but it

1368
01:19:00,779 --> 01:19:05,069
really accelerates when it gets
to the to the list of dead

1369
01:19:05,069 --> 01:19:08,309
people. It's just, it's crazy.
And um, and then we were at

1370
01:19:08,309 --> 01:19:10,739
dinner, and oh, maybe it was
still at the office. I'm like,

1371
01:19:11,129 --> 01:19:14,339
you know, was this guy
superdelegate? Well, yes, lo and

1372
01:19:14,339 --> 01:19:15,209
behold, he was actually

1373
01:19:15,210 --> 01:19:18,240
we were at lunch at fried
garland services going in. You

1374
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:20,580
were telling me the story. And
I'm thinking oh, this Adam going

1375
01:19:20,580 --> 01:19:22,470
off the deep end again. I said,
Well, he's the guy.

1376
01:19:22,470 --> 01:19:24,900
superdelegate you brought out
your phone, he started looking

1377
01:19:24,900 --> 01:19:28,230
it up by googling superdelegate
and the guy's name, it turns out

1378
01:19:28,230 --> 01:19:29,220
he was he was a super

1379
01:19:29,220 --> 01:19:32,940
delegate. Right. So now I'm
thinking, Well, you know, this,

1380
01:19:32,970 --> 01:19:35,100
this is kind of interesting.
Let's start to put all these

1381
01:19:35,100 --> 01:19:39,240
pieces of the puzzle together.
So simultaneously in this week,

1382
01:19:39,990 --> 01:19:44,310
the Obama camp consider the DNC
I guess, concedes that there

1383
01:19:44,310 --> 01:19:50,400
will be a roll call vote at the
convention. Now, the way I

1384
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:53,190
understand that, you know,
they're saying it's, you know,

1385
01:19:53,190 --> 01:19:56,070
it's a way to involve Hillary or
maybe it's a way to get her in

1386
01:19:56,070 --> 01:19:58,860
the vice presidential slot, but
the way I understand a roll call

1387
01:19:58,860 --> 01:20:02,820
vault a vote at at the at the
convention, is they're actually

1388
01:20:02,820 --> 01:20:05,400
going to count the votes.
Instead of just saying Obama as

1389
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:08,250
the man, they're going to do a
ceremonious reading of the

1390
01:20:08,250 --> 01:20:09,840
votes. Is that the way you
understand that?

1391
01:20:09,990 --> 01:20:14,850
No, they will go California,
California casts 45 votes for

1392
01:20:14,850 --> 01:20:18,540
blah, blah, blah, can 45 votes
for the next president United

1393
01:20:18,540 --> 01:20:20,250
States? You know, that kind of
thing. So

1394
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:24,480
in my mind, in my Mulder theory,
theory is my CT mode as we've we

1395
01:20:24,480 --> 01:20:27,330
have another abbreviation
conspiracy theorist is now CT

1396
01:20:27,330 --> 01:20:30,630
mode. I'm thinking well, wait a
minute, maybe the maybe they've

1397
01:20:30,630 --> 01:20:33,030
been taught because, you know,
the super delegates basically,

1398
01:20:33,060 --> 01:20:35,730
for those of you don't know, and
this is, and I've learned from

1399
01:20:35,730 --> 01:20:38,340
John, that this is only
something that happens with the

1400
01:20:38,340 --> 01:20:41,580
Democratic Party of the super,
super delegates, and regardless

1401
01:20:41,580 --> 01:20:45,510
of what is decided in a caucus,
the super delegate is the one

1402
01:20:45,510 --> 01:20:48,420
who actually calls the shots
that,

1403
01:20:49,050 --> 01:20:52,800
ya know, you can, for example,
they're out here in California,

1404
01:20:53,670 --> 01:20:57,990
where I think Hillary won the
state, there was a couple of

1405
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:01,740
super delegates in Marin County
says I don't care. Actually, I

1406
01:21:01,740 --> 01:21:04,080
think they were gonna vote for
Hillary and she died. She the

1407
01:21:04,230 --> 01:21:06,420
super delegate, who was a
representative of the state

1408
01:21:06,420 --> 01:21:08,700
government, she says, I don't
care how the vote goes, I'm

1409
01:21:08,700 --> 01:21:10,980
voting for blah, blah, blah, I
think she's gonna vote for

1410
01:21:10,980 --> 01:21:13,380
Hillary win no matter what, I
don't care what they vote, we're

1411
01:21:13,380 --> 01:21:13,950
voting for this.

1412
01:21:13,980 --> 01:21:17,040
So I immediately say, Well, this
is a message. This is the

1413
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:20,010
message to all the super
delegates, because this guy in

1414
01:21:20,010 --> 01:21:24,420
some reports, I found this bill
gwatney, when Hillary started to

1415
01:21:24,420 --> 01:21:27,690
wane, or when she had suspended,
you know, the timing of that is

1416
01:21:27,690 --> 01:21:31,410
not entirely clear. But then he
switched over to Obama, which of

1417
01:21:31,410 --> 01:21:35,520
course, is toeing the party
line. But for me, you know, in

1418
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:38,730
my CTE mode, I'm like, this is
this is a total message to the

1419
01:21:38,730 --> 01:21:41,430
super delegates, that you know,
now we're going to have a roll

1420
01:21:41,430 --> 01:21:45,240
call vote. And you know, you
better be voting for Hillary

1421
01:21:45,270 --> 01:21:48,060
hirsute. Her campaign is
suspended. She could still,

1422
01:21:48,180 --> 01:21:51,600
maybe she actually believes that
it could happen. Now, here's

1423
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:55,740
what I find today. And this is
what blew me away. Lady de

1424
01:21:55,740 --> 01:21:59,610
Rothschild. Rothschild, of
course, one of the families that

1425
01:21:59,610 --> 01:22:04,800
are the true owners of our
Earth, along with, yes, they own

1426
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:05,520
our Earth,

1427
01:22:05,790 --> 01:22:09,120
that she's good wine, so I don't
care. Yes. Okay.

1428
01:22:09,330 --> 01:22:14,250
And the Rockefellers make good
clauses. So she's on Fox News.

1429
01:22:14,670 --> 01:22:19,590
And she's plugging this thing
together for us.com. That's

1430
01:22:19,830 --> 01:22:25,620
together numeral for us.com. And
I'll just and I don't have to

1431
01:22:25,620 --> 01:22:28,590
tell you what she was saying on
Fox News. Because basically

1432
01:22:28,590 --> 01:22:31,200
right here on the homepage, it
says we stand together with

1433
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:34,380
Hillary's 18 million voters in
pursuit all of the following

1434
01:22:35,010 --> 01:22:37,530
bring us together by honouring
Hillary Clinton and her

1435
01:22:37,530 --> 01:22:40,500
supporters at the Democratic
National Convention in Denver by

1436
01:22:40,530 --> 01:22:43,440
a placing her name into
nomination following traditional

1437
01:22:43,440 --> 01:22:48,900
protocols be ensuring a roll
call vote, and see inviting her

1438
01:22:48,900 --> 01:22:52,380
to speak during primetime on
August 26, the 88th anniversary

1439
01:22:52,620 --> 01:22:55,890
of women's suffrage and as a
whole bunch of other ones, and

1440
01:22:55,890 --> 01:23:00,360
I'm like, dude, they're totally
gonna pull it off. She is going

1441
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:04,590
to win the nomination, by
intimidation and by the huge

1442
01:23:04,590 --> 01:23:08,610
power, so the intimidation of
bullets, and the huge power that

1443
01:23:08,610 --> 01:23:11,520
the Rothschilds wield who
obviously got this roll call

1444
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:15,090
vote implemented. I don't know
how that works. But that I guess

1445
01:23:15,090 --> 01:23:18,930
that can also be only be totally
intimidation. I'm telling you

1446
01:23:18,930 --> 01:23:20,970
that the Clintons are not done.

1447
01:23:21,990 --> 01:23:24,540
Well, I'm not gonna argue that
they're not done. But you know,

1448
01:23:24,540 --> 01:23:27,240
the thing is, that came up with
this guy getting assassinated,

1449
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:34,530
murdered in Arkansas, was the
fact that the way it would have

1450
01:23:34,530 --> 01:23:36,660
played out is that he was a
super delegate and then he

1451
01:23:36,660 --> 01:23:39,510
decided he was with Hillary and
then he's changed his vote to

1452
01:23:39,510 --> 01:23:42,270
Obama, they must have gone to
and said, Look, when the when

1453
01:23:42,270 --> 01:23:44,640
the thing comes up for the roll
call vote, we're gonna have that

1454
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:47,790
happen. You're gonna like
Hillary Hillary to get says, No,

1455
01:23:47,790 --> 01:23:49,740
I'm not gonna do that already
said, I'm taking Obama

1456
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:52,980
dead. Exactly. That's the
message though. That's the

1457
01:23:52,980 --> 01:23:56,550
message. Because everyone knows
it. Everyone who switched is not

1458
01:23:56,550 --> 01:23:59,430
going to say oh, crap, I better
be saying Hillary and they're

1459
01:23:59,430 --> 01:24:03,750
all getting that phone call. As
we speak. You know what, John,

1460
01:24:03,780 --> 01:24:06,030
this is scary. You're not
pushing back.

1461
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:11,550
I'm not I'm not totally
uncomfortable. I know for a fact

1462
01:24:11,550 --> 01:24:15,750
that they're sneaky. These these
two. And it seems to me that

1463
01:24:15,750 --> 01:24:20,520
would be an interesting kind of
a thing to try to pull off to

1464
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:22,920
get actually get the nomination
because the fact of the matter

1465
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:26,400
is Hillary still sees herself as
the true winner, because she has

1466
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:30,330
the most popular vote with the
popular votes. You know, Obama

1467
01:24:30,330 --> 01:24:32,820
won most of his stuff on the
caucuses. The one on ones he

1468
01:24:32,820 --> 01:24:36,900
kind of snuck his way in. If
they can find one scandalous

1469
01:24:36,900 --> 01:24:39,570
thing I think the next couple of
weeks is telling or

1470
01:24:40,230 --> 01:24:42,330
should be the end isn't isn't
Wednesday. Isn't this coming

1471
01:24:42,330 --> 01:24:43,650
Wednesday? Was it next
Wednesday?

1472
01:24:43,740 --> 01:24:46,830
I think it's a Wednesday after.
Anyways, I think it's the last

1473
01:24:47,250 --> 01:24:47,460
week.

1474
01:24:47,490 --> 01:24:50,070
This is the week where we're
gonna have Obama in all kinds of

1475
01:24:50,070 --> 01:24:55,170
compromising situations. They
should probably really hit hard

1476
01:24:55,170 --> 01:25:01,440
on Michelle. They should hit
hard on Michelle Oh, I think

1477
01:25:01,440 --> 01:25:03,600
you're right I think it's all
gonna happen this week that just

1478
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:04,650
gonna have to

1479
01:25:04,650 --> 01:25:07,860
be orchestrated so it looks as
though the Republicans are doing

1480
01:25:07,860 --> 01:25:11,520
it so Hillary King you know, so
Hillary go on Oh, that's

1481
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:14,520
terrible that they would do this
but I guess we can have to pick

1482
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:18,540
me. So they're gonna, they're
gonna have to

1483
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:21,780
well it's so understandable the
events and the news that has

1484
01:25:21,780 --> 01:25:25,170
surfaced in the past week that
the super delegates have clearly

1485
01:25:25,170 --> 01:25:28,440
seen the error of their ways and
they have chosen me as the as

1486
01:25:28,440 --> 01:25:31,680
the perfect person to lead this
party and to lead the New

1487
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:34,920
America that was that

1488
01:25:34,950 --> 01:25:37,290
and you know, his and her
argument can be which is all

1489
01:25:37,290 --> 01:25:40,560
American it's not over till it's
over. That's right.

1490
01:25:41,460 --> 01:25:44,490
And that's why she that's why
she suspended her campaign. It

1491
01:25:44,490 --> 01:25:47,010
makes so much easier what I
thought those Clinton's went

1492
01:25:47,010 --> 01:25:52,110
away way too easy. I really did.
And when you see this if you

1493
01:25:52,110 --> 01:25:56,940
have a chance, watch this
documentary. I'd say it is as

1494
01:25:56,940 --> 01:26:01,170
good as any 911 video you've
ever seen it I mean, it's that

1495
01:26:01,170 --> 01:26:03,720
enthralling. It is totally
exciting. You just sit there you

1496
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:07,110
go like, Oh my God, you know,
this Bill Clinton is just it all

1497
01:26:07,110 --> 01:26:12,300
just just snort coke all day and
go after checks and mail and

1498
01:26:12,300 --> 01:26:15,180
it's not much it's like no news
footage with a voiceover. I

1499
01:26:15,180 --> 01:26:17,820
mean, there's interviews
there's, there's troopers, you

1500
01:26:17,820 --> 01:26:22,020
know, Texas Rangers, and there's
all kinds of people on the

1501
01:26:22,020 --> 01:26:23,940
record, you know, saying these
things.

1502
01:26:25,140 --> 01:26:26,670
You guys send me a link and I'll
blog it

1503
01:26:26,730 --> 01:26:32,460
it's curry.com it's right there
on the homepage. Okay. Look,

1504
01:26:32,460 --> 01:26:35,820
hurry dot you don't have to do a
slash blog just to curry.com

1505
01:26:35,820 --> 01:26:37,020
Real easy to remember.

1506
01:26:37,290 --> 01:26:40,140
And I'm Baba will pick it up and
put it in the show notes.

1507
01:26:40,169 --> 01:26:43,019
Oh, wait. I mean, Baba had stuff
for us to look at Disney. Oh,

1508
01:26:43,019 --> 01:26:46,199
you know what, actually, I have
a follow up on something. Here

1509
01:26:46,199 --> 01:26:49,559
we go. Just it actually fits in
perfectly with right now.

1510
01:26:50,940 --> 01:26:54,360
Hi, guys, I just finished
listening to new agenda 42. And

1511
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:57,840
there was something about Obama
being booed. I think that the

1512
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:03,510
clip you saw was out of context.
What had happened there was

1513
01:27:03,510 --> 01:27:07,920
there were some hecklers, and
they were African Americans.

1514
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:11,280
They say it Obama, you don't
support African Americans enough

1515
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:16,620
and the crowd was booing the
hecklers. And Obama say no, no,

1516
01:27:16,620 --> 01:27:19,500
let's let's be civil. Let's
let's pull this back together.

1517
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:22,290
And he actually did a question
answer period with them for a

1518
01:27:22,290 --> 01:27:25,680
couple minutes. And they ended
up just sitting down and being

1519
01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:29,550
quiet. So the boos weren't so
much for Obama, they were

1520
01:27:30,090 --> 01:27:35,700
actually directed at the people.
heckling Obama, and Obama

1521
01:27:35,730 --> 01:27:38,730
handled that heckling situation
very well. This is Eric from

1522
01:27:38,730 --> 01:27:41,130
Portland signing off. Goodbye,
guys.

1523
01:27:42,420 --> 01:27:46,440
Out there you go. Exactly as we
thought it.

1524
01:27:47,730 --> 01:27:54,540
Yep. So now Bubba had the thing
about the land bridge. You

1525
01:27:54,540 --> 01:27:57,300
thought the Romans walked in
England even though that bridge

1526
01:27:57,300 --> 01:27:59,310
was 100,000 years ago.

1527
01:28:00,450 --> 01:28:02,970
Okay, so who was it? It wasn't
the Romans was the but there

1528
01:28:02,970 --> 01:28:06,240
were there was land there wasn't
there? Yeah, 100,000 years ago.

1529
01:28:06,270 --> 01:28:08,070
That's what I meant. 100,000
years ago.

1530
01:28:08,340 --> 01:28:10,560
Well, the Romans were there a
couple of 1000 years ago.

1531
01:28:12,090 --> 01:28:14,820
You got your time? I already
said I don't know what the hell

1532
01:28:14,820 --> 01:28:17,760
I'm talking about. That's true.
It's one of our themes. We don't

1533
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:19,380
know nothing. Anything about
nothing.

1534
01:28:20,430 --> 01:28:23,400
We don't know nothing about
about nothing about anything.

1535
01:28:24,390 --> 01:28:25,350
Don't shoot us.

1536
01:28:26,100 --> 01:28:34,050
Please. Okay, let me see.
Anyway, so yeah, take a look at

1537
01:28:34,050 --> 01:28:36,480
that documentary. It'll just
blow you away.

1538
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:40,440
Yeah, I will. I've seen these
things before I mean,

1539
01:28:41,070 --> 01:28:44,670
this one I haven't seen I you
know, I've never been interested

1540
01:28:44,670 --> 01:28:47,460
honestly you know, I never
really thought about it but it

1541
01:28:47,490 --> 01:28:51,390
you know, they do take this and
and I remember all these

1542
01:28:51,390 --> 01:28:53,640
individual things happening I
even went back and looked at

1543
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:56,310
some waco stuff which is also
there's some connections to

1544
01:28:56,310 --> 01:28:57,570
Clinton there and

1545
01:28:57,570 --> 01:29:00,030
that handle you mentioned is
apparently couple of his

1546
01:29:00,030 --> 01:29:02,760
bodyguards were killed in this
action or something with

1547
01:29:03,210 --> 01:29:06,630
four of his bodyguards were
killed in Waco, Texas and of

1548
01:29:06,630 --> 01:29:10,830
course, Clinton's Hillary
Clinton's Chief of Staff her

1549
01:29:10,860 --> 01:29:18,120
White House Secretary whatever
later took a box from the Waco

1550
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:20,460
files and there was like, you
know, there was like some

1551
01:29:20,460 --> 01:29:24,300
whitewater stuff. I mean, it's
just so many connections so many

1552
01:29:24,300 --> 01:29:28,890
ties, but the the fact that four
of Bill Clinton's former

1553
01:29:28,890 --> 01:29:33,870
security detail were killed at
Waco was just interesting. But

1554
01:29:33,870 --> 01:29:38,910
my point is, you know, how that
kind of passed me by in you

1555
01:29:38,910 --> 01:29:42,510
know, kind of wide awake and
Dreamland. And now to see how it

1556
01:29:42,510 --> 01:29:45,570
actually works with this
Georgian thing is just

1557
01:29:45,570 --> 01:29:48,690
fascinating, you know, and it's
and it's, it's amazing, the only

1558
01:29:48,930 --> 01:29:51,360
then people say to me all the
time, well, how do we what do we

1559
01:29:51,360 --> 01:29:54,690
do? How do we stop the insanity
and just, I guess, just try to

1560
01:29:54,690 --> 01:29:57,750
help people become aware and the
internet is really good about it

1561
01:29:57,750 --> 01:30:02,280
because everything is written
about insanity no but but all

1562
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:05,460
this stuff that the truth really
or good journalism is being

1563
01:30:05,460 --> 01:30:08,280
performed. It's just because
there's so much that you're

1564
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:11,700
hammered with over and over and
over again by most corporate

1565
01:30:11,700 --> 01:30:15,840
media, that it never really
becomes the meme as you would

1566
01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:18,480
call it, John, it just kind of
stays out there. And so when

1567
01:30:18,480 --> 01:30:21,210
once you start to aggregate all
the pieces, it's really

1568
01:30:21,210 --> 01:30:24,750
interesting like this such
soccers volley V guy. I mean,

1569
01:30:24,750 --> 01:30:27,840
he's, you know, there's a
nutcase, eatin his tie, you

1570
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:31,710
know, anything is hilarious in
front of EU flags, you know,

1571
01:30:31,710 --> 01:30:34,560
driving down George Bush Avenue,
I mean, when you start to put

1572
01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:38,700
all that together as like, okay.
And again, that's really what

1573
01:30:38,730 --> 01:30:41,760
what's kind of cool, like, you
know, I'm digging that.

1574
01:30:43,110 --> 01:30:45,630
Yeah. Well, that's the that's
the public service that we

1575
01:30:45,630 --> 01:30:50,790
provide. With the show. No
agenda. Hell yeah.

1576
01:30:52,260 --> 01:30:54,540
All right, you guys, you must
have something nothing

1577
01:30:55,020 --> 01:30:57,480
was done. I mean, I just wanted
to talk about the debriefing. I

1578
01:30:57,480 --> 01:31:01,080
got from the Georgia and
Georgia, the mom from Georgia.

1579
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:05,460
Yeah. Now all of that stuff.
About Georgia is so blatantly

1580
01:31:05,460 --> 01:31:09,720
clear. I didn't even bring up my
my Tom Clancy, game thing. You,

1581
01:31:10,110 --> 01:31:12,330
you kind of poo pooed that when
I showed it to you, so I'm a

1582
01:31:12,330 --> 01:31:12,930
little afraid

1583
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:17,940
now. It's interesting. I was
just sceptical. And but yeah,

1584
01:31:17,940 --> 01:31:21,660
Clancy apparently had predicted
this in some game.

1585
01:31:22,710 --> 01:31:28,260
It's, well, it's, it's the I was
called something Ghost Recon is

1586
01:31:28,260 --> 01:31:32,460
what it's called. It's a it's a
video game. Apparently very,

1587
01:31:32,670 --> 01:31:36,330
very popular one that you would
have a Ghost Recon to. But the

1588
01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:39,480
trailer was pointed out to me
the training are they these

1589
01:31:39,480 --> 01:31:42,210
things are of such high budget
and such quality. They do

1590
01:31:42,210 --> 01:31:46,290
trailers and get get kids really
hyped up and excited about it.

1591
01:31:46,290 --> 01:31:48,630
It's a big deal when something
new comes out, but I don't

1592
01:31:48,630 --> 01:31:53,850
really follow the shoot 'em up
death games. And see, I think I

1593
01:31:53,850 --> 01:31:58,620
blogged this as well. I've
actually let you hear it. So the

1594
01:31:59,730 --> 01:32:05,940
the setting of this video game
is in Georgia, Russia has you

1595
01:32:05,940 --> 01:32:10,200
know, the ultra nationalist. As
they call him, the ultra

1596
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:14,040
nationalist is building up
forces. It's 2008. By that, by

1597
01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:18,270
the way that trailers from 2002.
Well, actually, he just listened

1598
01:32:18,270 --> 01:32:22,710
to it. Oh, it'd be even better.
Here we go. It's only a couple.

1599
01:32:22,710 --> 01:32:24,420
It's only like a minute for the
year to

1600
01:32:24,450 --> 01:32:29,940
2008 and the world teeters on
the brink of war. Radical Ultra

1601
01:32:29,940 --> 01:32:35,610
nationalist power in Moscow.
Their goal to reestablish the

1602
01:32:35,610 --> 01:32:42,000
old Soviet empire. Ukraine,
Belarus, Kazakhstan, one by one

1603
01:32:42,030 --> 01:32:44,880
nearby independent republic
slipped back into the Russian

1604
01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:49,560
army. Russian tanks sit in
balance and the Bolton forest is

1605
01:32:49,860 --> 01:32:54,060
poised to strike to the
southeast world holds its breath

1606
01:32:55,410 --> 01:33:01,020
and waits. For one small group
of elite soldiers your has

1607
01:33:01,020 --> 01:33:06,120
already begun. US special forces
route five first battalion the

1608
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:10,140
company deployed on peacekeeping
duties Republic of Georgia.

1609
01:33:11,400 --> 01:33:13,470
This that's kind of what I
wanted to. I don't know if you

1610
01:33:13,470 --> 01:33:14,820
could hear that at all. But
anyway, so

1611
01:33:14,820 --> 01:33:17,670
I could do it. Chris, I just
have to swap out the special

1612
01:33:17,670 --> 01:33:20,910
forces for Blackwater. Which by
the way, a great name for a game

1613
01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:23,730
of Blackwater. I'm sure I'm sure
they so they have it or they're

1614
01:33:23,730 --> 01:33:24,270
gonna make it

1615
01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:29,280
so around the office by the way
around San Francisco there's

1616
01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:33,660
these little posters that have
been stapled all over the place

1617
01:33:34,410 --> 01:33:37,110
for a protest I think it's going
to take place next week unless

1618
01:33:37,110 --> 01:33:41,250
it took place already around the
OB soft which is in the area

1619
01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:41,520
that's

1620
01:33:41,670 --> 01:33:44,250
that's the company that's the
company that makes Ghost Recon

1621
01:33:44,250 --> 01:33:45,090
is Ubisoft

1622
01:33:45,749 --> 01:33:48,059
Yeah, well, it will be soft also
has a game they make for the

1623
01:33:48,059 --> 01:33:51,389
army that you can download. The
protesters are saying that the

1624
01:33:51,389 --> 01:33:54,089
idea is of this game is to get
this to trick him and

1625
01:33:54,089 --> 01:33:58,229
preconditioner kids. Exactly.
Yeah. 12 and 13 year old kids

1626
01:33:58,229 --> 01:34:02,399
because the game is free you can
download it from the army. To my

1627
01:34:02,429 --> 01:34:05,579
sorry to my son about it. The
game is free and apparently you

1628
01:34:05,579 --> 01:34:08,459
know it sees you can see it so
reminds me a little bit like the

1629
01:34:08,459 --> 01:34:11,339
last star fighter which is a
movie where you know some kids

1630
01:34:11,339 --> 01:34:14,549
playing a video game. And it
turns out that the game was a

1631
01:34:14,549 --> 01:34:19,289
training vehicle for
interstellar war. And once you

1632
01:34:19,289 --> 01:34:22,379
beat the game, you're like,
you're solicited to join the

1633
01:34:22,379 --> 01:34:26,099
forces. I just thought it was
kind of interesting. Well, maybe

1634
01:34:26,099 --> 01:34:28,139
it will be soft as a front for
somebody I don't know.

1635
01:34:28,470 --> 01:34:31,320
So if you if you go look at all
these ties, um, I haven't looked

1636
01:34:31,320 --> 01:34:35,070
at Ubisoft but okay, so this
this is very interesting that

1637
01:34:35,070 --> 01:34:38,820
indeed the exact thing that
happened US Special Delta forces

1638
01:34:38,820 --> 01:34:42,330
called them security
consultants, if you will. You

1639
01:34:42,330 --> 01:34:46,260
know, they're they're in they're
in Georgia, they attack the it

1640
01:34:46,260 --> 01:34:49,170
literally says Asendia in the
caucuses. I mean, the whole

1641
01:34:49,170 --> 01:34:53,850
thing is there. It even says
2008 Now look at Tom Clancy's

1642
01:34:53,850 --> 01:34:58,020
connections. Have you ever
looked at who he's related to?

1643
01:34:59,340 --> 01:35:01,200
While I was studying was a shoe
salesman.

1644
01:35:01,230 --> 01:35:07,620
Oh man. Oh, you're gonna love
this. He is I'm just looking it

1645
01:35:07,620 --> 01:35:09,090
up because I looked up the other
day.

1646
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:11,580
But while you're looking at
that, by the way, anyone out

1647
01:35:11,580 --> 01:35:15,570
there wants to go you go to true
soldier game.com And you can

1648
01:35:15,570 --> 01:35:18,120
find the download and
information about this army

1649
01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:24,030
game. It's called True soldiers
game. Plural true soldiers.

1650
01:35:24,030 --> 01:35:26,640
game.com I'm,

1651
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:31,140
I'm still looking for this. I
think his wife's father is like,

1652
01:35:31,170 --> 01:35:34,950
a big way get the was the
Organisation for the

1653
01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:38,280
Organisation for Economic
Development, the OECD or

1654
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:39,420
whatever, that horrible Yeah,

1655
01:35:39,420 --> 01:35:39,900
right.

1656
01:35:40,080 --> 01:35:41,040
I think you know, that's,

1657
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:43,170
it's like, oh, Ed, I think

1658
01:35:43,440 --> 01:35:50,490
now it's like, oh, ECD maybe.
But, you know, there's

1659
01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:57,180
interesting interesting ties
there. Oh, I'm gonna say now

1660
01:35:57,180 --> 01:36:01,650
there's a when you if you do Tom
Clancy OECD, you get a lot of

1661
01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:03,870
good Google hits. Anyway,

1662
01:36:04,410 --> 01:36:12,570
French businessman joins Ubisoft
board. French businessman joins

1663
01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:16,860
Ubisoft board outgoing director
Yvette Guillermo makes way for

1664
01:36:16,860 --> 01:36:21,300
incoming mark. Fiorentino, a
specialist in business markets

1665
01:36:21,300 --> 01:36:26,310
and banking. So it will be such
a French game publishers are

1666
01:36:26,490 --> 01:36:30,030
even though they're in are they?
Are they are they public? I'm

1667
01:36:30,030 --> 01:36:34,500
not seeing that they are yet. I
don't know. We'll look into it.

1668
01:36:34,740 --> 01:36:36,180
It was on their board. Could be

1669
01:36:36,180 --> 01:36:39,300
an interesting time. But so
really so when is this? This

1670
01:36:39,300 --> 01:36:42,000
demonstrates a demonstration or
what is it? Well, I

1671
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:44,430
guess it was over maybe let's
see. I'm looking at this

1672
01:36:44,940 --> 01:36:46,980
shit, man. We could have been
keynote speakers.

1673
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:52,560
You could anti war group
protests, Ubisoft and America's

1674
01:36:52,560 --> 01:36:56,820
Army which is the game anti war
group targets. That's it.

1675
01:36:56,820 --> 01:37:00,450
there's anything going on here.
You can find it just type in

1676
01:37:00,720 --> 01:37:01,740
Ubisoft

1677
01:37:02,220 --> 01:37:06,300
army and you get worn some
further investigation. Yeah,

1678
01:37:06,300 --> 01:37:09,450
we'll look into it. Well, you
haven't called me crackpot one

1679
01:37:09,450 --> 01:37:12,450
so far. John. The show doesn't
feel like it's over yet.

1680
01:37:12,810 --> 01:37:15,630
I do. You haven't gone? Well,
you know you. Yeah. I'm

1681
01:37:18,540 --> 01:37:21,240
Clint Clinton. There's a lot
there, man. Oh,

1682
01:37:21,240 --> 01:37:25,890
and by the way, people out there
listening to us. Eavesdropping I

1683
01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:28,230
probably didn't call him a
crackpot today because after

1684
01:37:28,230 --> 01:37:31,350
having dinner with him now I
realise what he's actually this

1685
01:37:31,350 --> 01:37:37,740
is mild. I have no idea.

1686
01:37:39,570 --> 01:37:41,790
Well, the thing that we talked
about at dinner I think it's

1687
01:37:41,790 --> 01:37:47,490
happening next Saturday. So no,
let that be a tease for some

1688
01:37:47,490 --> 01:37:50,760
cool. Nutter theory coming up.

1689
01:37:50,789 --> 01:37:51,989
Yeah, definitely be nutter.

1690
01:37:54,690 --> 01:37:58,440
All right, so Well, can't wait
to see what happens. In this

1691
01:37:58,440 --> 01:38:01,800
week. As everything unfolds. I
think we've given you you

1692
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:04,230
listeners out there some good
info. And by the way, if you

1693
01:38:04,230 --> 01:38:06,720
enjoy listening to the show,
tell a friend.

1694
01:38:08,250 --> 01:38:10,320
Hey, that's funny, because I was
gonna suggest the same thing.

1695
01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:14,130
People should make one other
person listen to the show. Yeah.

1696
01:38:15,420 --> 01:38:19,050
Yeah, we we've done no marketing
for this show. We've got, you

1697
01:38:19,050 --> 01:38:23,520
know, some like 30,000 listeners
or 40. Maybe, but we need 100.

1698
01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:26,010
So let's get some people listen.
This is a good show. It's it's

1699
01:38:26,010 --> 01:38:26,610
entertaining.

1700
01:38:27,120 --> 01:38:30,210
I mean, it's it's it's a good
