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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
