I guess it's a Yeah. It sounds like a storm or 29 00:02:01,770 --> 00:02:05,040 is it vintage? Or is it a recreation from China? I 30 00:02:05,399 --> 00:02:09,239 think it's a recreation personally. It's called the 31 00:02:09,239 --> 00:02:15,719 thunder to Oh, that's nice. I don't know where I could use 32 00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:17,249 that as a punch in anything. 33 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,560 I'm very happy for you. Yeah, I'm 34 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,170 sure. I also got a kazoo but the kazoo seems to be 35 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,190 in interesting, well, you know, we get we celebrated Christmas 36 00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:34,710 here in Gitmo nation lowlands in the old country. And I have to 37 00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:37,890 say it was quite a different and somewhat pleasurable experience. 38 00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:42,270 Okay, yeah. Tell me about it. 39 00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:47,070 Well, you know, of course, for the past, God, I don't know how 40 00:02:47,070 --> 00:02:50,010 many years how many years I've been celebrating. And in the 41 00:02:50,010 --> 00:02:53,010 States, five, six years, at least nonstop. Of course, it's 42 00:02:53,010 --> 00:02:56,820 the Bogut of holiday. It's all about commerce and buying people 43 00:02:56,820 --> 00:03:02,970 crap from China. And you know, we so Mickey has kind of an 44 00:03:02,970 --> 00:03:08,430 extended family here that she grew up with. And you know, the 45 00:03:08,430 --> 00:03:10,680 guys that kind of are kind of like her brothers. And so they 46 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,150 had in one of them invited us to his house in The Hague and his 47 00:03:15,150 --> 00:03:19,230 brother came in from Singapore, which actually have some 48 00:03:19,230 --> 00:03:21,570 interesting information I got from him talk about later on. 49 00:03:22,110 --> 00:03:26,370 And it was really, so the opposite of the the Christmases 50 00:03:26,370 --> 00:03:29,490 I'm used to Yeah, there was the tree. And there were a couple of 51 00:03:29,490 --> 00:03:32,370 presents for the kids. But it wasn't like this big commercial 52 00:03:32,370 --> 00:03:35,760 thing. And you know, do you guys read the night before Christmas 53 00:03:35,820 --> 00:03:42,420 and your house by any chance? No. This is not like an uncommon 54 00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:45,630 thing in America. Is we have the night before Christmas. Ever 55 00:03:45,630 --> 00:03:48,600 heard of it? You've never heard of The Night Before Christmas? 56 00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:51,390 No, I've heard it the night before Christmas. I've never 57 00:03:51,390 --> 00:03:54,960 heard of any bunch of corn balls sitting around the camera light 58 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,070 reading it. Yeah, 59 00:03:56,100 --> 00:04:01,350 this is very normal. very abnormal. Yeah. But the night 60 00:04:01,350 --> 00:04:04,530 before Christmas, is of course a book about you know, the 61 00:04:04,530 --> 00:04:07,800 children were all, you know, tucked into their beds and 62 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,860 snuggled with care, whatever, you know, with dreams that say 63 00:04:10,860 --> 00:04:13,740 Nicola Sturgeon would be there to give us all kinds of goodies 64 00:04:13,740 --> 00:04:18,090 and crap. So the whole story is about getting getting stuff. You 65 00:04:18,090 --> 00:04:21,360 know, it's a sweet story, but it's about getting stuff. And I 66 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,780 had never met. So there's a story that this family does, but 67 00:04:24,780 --> 00:04:28,590 apparently a lot of families read this particular story. And 68 00:04:28,590 --> 00:04:32,010 it comes from Sweden. I had never heard of it before. It's a 69 00:04:32,010 --> 00:04:34,650 very long story. It's not like in America, we're good. You 70 00:04:34,650 --> 00:04:37,110 know, we get commercial to the point short, you know, a couple 71 00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:39,990 of pictures. You're done open up your gift before you go to bed. 72 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,770 Now this is the little troll. Do you ever heard of this story? 73 00:04:43,950 --> 00:04:46,860 This about the little troll that wanted to become a human being? 74 00:04:48,510 --> 00:04:49,380 It's about Obama. 75 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,940 No, it's the little troll who wanted to become a human being 76 00:04:56,940 --> 00:05:00,690 and and discovered that the way to become a human was to help 77 00:05:00,690 --> 00:05:03,750 other people and he helps this little girl and then his life 78 00:05:03,750 --> 00:05:07,200 changes in the venue eventually becomes it's kind of a mixture 79 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,950 between the Grinch Who Stole Christmas and Pinocchio in a way 80 00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:14,640 in a weird way. Only with trolls. And it was just trolls 81 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,110 the does he finally get on Twitter? 82 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,480 It was really nice John. I have to say it was kind of a non 83 00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:22,770 bring a tear to your eyes. 84 00:05:23,550 --> 00:05:30,840 Did it did bring it Yeah. It did bring a tear to my eye. What is 85 00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:37,470 that wrong? Is that so wrong? I guess so. Anyway, that was there 86 00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:42,270 was a hilarious moment here in in the lowlands, a great Bogut 87 00:05:42,270 --> 00:05:44,820 of PR moment there. There are a couple going on that I'm sure 88 00:05:44,820 --> 00:05:50,730 we'll get to. But every year in, in in the Netherlands, the Queen 89 00:05:52,050 --> 00:05:57,450 does a speech. And of course, no one cares about this speech, 90 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,260 obviously, I think maybe some really older people. Like okay, 91 00:06:01,260 --> 00:06:04,500 let's see what the Queen has to say. So they hired a new PR 92 00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:07,530 firm, I have no idea who it is. And they came up with the 93 00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,650 classic. So if you have a tape speech by the Queen, which is 94 00:06:10,650 --> 00:06:15,060 supposed to air on Christmas day, at one o'clock, but you 95 00:06:15,060 --> 00:06:17,550 know that people are not going to be interested. But yet you 96 00:06:17,550 --> 00:06:20,850 have some information you need to program them with like, I 97 00:06:20,850 --> 00:06:24,690 don't know, like Europe, like how great Europe is. What do you 98 00:06:24,690 --> 00:06:29,940 do in this day of, of online web based interactive social media? 99 00:06:29,940 --> 00:06:33,270 How do you get some some PR going, John, what I mean, we 100 00:06:33,270 --> 00:06:35,820 could have come up with this one, by the way. Any ideas? 101 00:06:36,540 --> 00:06:37,440 School shooting? 102 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:48,540 You're on a roll today? No, no, no. Somebody, of course, was 103 00:06:48,540 --> 00:06:51,840 able to somehow decipher the incredibly complicated way that 104 00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:55,590 the the speech was already stored on the internet site on 105 00:06:55,590 --> 00:07:03,270 the server and he finds it a day early. Oh, so that then I was 106 00:07:03,270 --> 00:07:06,450 better finding the DVD or suddenly under the seat of the 107 00:07:06,450 --> 00:07:07,020 subway. 108 00:07:07,530 --> 00:07:12,390 Right. And you know, those guys, you know, it was a marketeer, a 109 00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:16,140 new media marketeer. And he found and he tweets This tweet 110 00:07:16,140 --> 00:07:20,940 is like breaking, breaking. I just found the Queen's speech. 111 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,740 It's unbelievable how I found that after I'm sure the tea was 112 00:07:25,740 --> 00:07:29,280 sent the URL. And then of course, the news media can pick 113 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,610 this up. Oh my god. It's unbelievable that the Queen's 114 00:07:32,610 --> 00:07:36,210 speech has already been revealed before it's been on television. 115 00:07:36,210 --> 00:07:39,120 And let us tell you, she's talking about Europe and how you 116 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,720 we are Europe and Europe is awesome. We are the world. And 117 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,610 it was just really a fun moment to see a boatload of PR move 118 00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:50,790 done in that way here in the in the lowlands for the royal 119 00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:54,690 family who are clearly moving into the 21st century with this. 120 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,220 This action of theirs. 121 00:07:57,030 --> 00:08:00,300 I like it. Good idea. Yeah. Yeah, you're right, because 122 00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:02,400 nobody's gonna listen to the thing, but they'll listen to a 123 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,420 leaked version. 124 00:08:03,450 --> 00:08:07,710 Yeah. And it's the same with this just came out today. You 125 00:08:07,710 --> 00:08:14,520 saw this Randi Zuckerberg, who was Zuk Zuk QSA. Was it is his 126 00:08:14,850 --> 00:08:19,200 sister Sister? So she tweeted a photo? Or did she tweet it or 127 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,620 put on Facebook, it doesn't really matter. And it's an it's 128 00:08:22,620 --> 00:08:27,540 a photo of the family and Xbox in the kitchen. And she's really 129 00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:31,830 angry about this being re posted or whatever. But it's clear. 130 00:08:31,890 --> 00:08:36,750 It's a blatant promotion for the brand new Facebook game known as 131 00:08:36,750 --> 00:08:40,890 poke, which is a standalone app came out I guess, just 132 00:08:40,890 --> 00:08:44,700 yesterday. It was like oh, and she's really angry that someone 133 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,130 that someone read reposted this picture where her family is in 134 00:08:50,130 --> 00:08:54,840 the kitchen, playing the game poke because there was a little 135 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,540 sub, that little caption to it, and they're all laughing and 136 00:08:57,540 --> 00:09:00,120 they look like they're having a glorious time because it's such 137 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,660 an awesome game. It's so obvious that this is a promotional 138 00:09:03,660 --> 00:09:04,200 stunt. 139 00:09:06,270 --> 00:09:08,340 These things sickened me to be honest about it. 140 00:09:09,270 --> 00:09:11,760 Why did they stick in you? Because I 141 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,800 mean we have because it's just a complete scam. And it's it's 142 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,990 just in the riq it reeks of so much insincerity that the Oh, 143 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,810 I'm so upset by this and that kind of thing. It just really 144 00:09:24,810 --> 00:09:28,530 bothers me that people have to resort to this sort of thing. 145 00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:32,370 Well, it works. I mean, you know, everyone's talking about 146 00:09:32,370 --> 00:09:33,300 that's what bothers. 147 00:09:34,380 --> 00:09:38,220 That's the worst part because it just gets some attention amongst 148 00:09:38,220 --> 00:09:41,220 people that can't think for themselves. I don't know. 149 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,010 Whenever you get a leak like that or something, you have 150 00:09:44,010 --> 00:09:48,120 something so, so obvious. It's just like, ah, but have you ever 151 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,090 seen this picture of of the Zuckerberg exam? You have to 152 00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:54,690 Google it real quick. Just Google Randi Zuckerberg kitchen 153 00:09:54,690 --> 00:09:59,970 photo, and you'll see when the Zuckerberg is Randy with an eye 154 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:00,360 angle 155 00:10:00,750 --> 00:10:03,660 kitchen will make a difference and Oh really? 156 00:10:03,990 --> 00:10:06,210 Okay. And then you'll see that they're all sitting around the 157 00:10:06,210 --> 00:10:09,750 table laughing this hilarious this game is awesome. It looks 158 00:10:09,750 --> 00:10:15,000 like they're playing the best game in the universe. You got 159 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:15,210 it. 160 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,440 But for some reason the images aren't killed there. There she 161 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,490 is yucking it up. 162 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,340 It's fun. It's like the whole family and Xbox in the corner. 163 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,440 Like overseeing how much these people love their brand new game 164 00:10:33,090 --> 00:10:36,840 I'm trying to save to what there's a there's some. Okay, so 165 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,270 who took the picture? There's 123 Currently she 166 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,660 apparently she took it. I don't I don't know if she's I don't 167 00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:44,070 know what she looks like. I don't know if she's in the 168 00:10:44,070 --> 00:10:45,720 picture. But this is the picture 169 00:10:47,370 --> 00:10:49,200 looks kind of like her in the middle there. 170 00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:53,550 But I mean that thing stage I mean, can't you like what family 171 00:10:53,550 --> 00:10:57,090 is doing this? With a with a with a poke game just 172 00:10:57,090 --> 00:11:00,150 conveniently brand new it's so awesome. Oh, how does this game 173 00:11:00,150 --> 00:11:00,900 even work? 174 00:11:02,370 --> 00:11:06,750 You're wondering now you they got it worked once again. Like 175 00:11:06,750 --> 00:11:10,410 you know what the dishes salsa is doing there and there's no 176 00:11:10,410 --> 00:11:11,010 chips. 177 00:11:11,460 --> 00:11:14,490 It's funny because I was doing that too. I was like, does he 178 00:11:14,490 --> 00:11:17,160 head because you know he's so well known for shooting his own 179 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,830 food. I'm like Where's where's the venison? It's got to be 180 00:11:19,830 --> 00:11:23,100 around somewhere. I was doing the same thing investigating. 181 00:11:24,330 --> 00:11:26,730 Looking at the photo investigating the food. 182 00:11:28,170 --> 00:11:31,110 The kitchen would say something from a Four Seasons Hotel is 183 00:11:31,110 --> 00:11:32,250 just barren. 184 00:11:32,460 --> 00:11:35,610 Yeah, guy has no class he's got no style we think in 185 00:11:35,610 --> 00:11:38,640 the middle. I mean, this sink in the middle is I don't know. 186 00:11:39,540 --> 00:11:42,180 Something that's right. Anyway, man. It was something very well 187 00:11:42,180 --> 00:11:44,790 yeah, I got a Santa Claus clip. I'm a little annoyed about the 188 00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:48,960 whole thing. I'm beginning to seem like a like a bah humbug 189 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,940 Yeah, but this this I'm wondering if this is good or bad 190 00:11:54,210 --> 00:11:58,080 to be doing stories like this which are just so bogus, which 191 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,360 is ridiculous. But complaint my Santa Claus clips, 192 00:12:00,839 --> 00:12:04,289 and has big night he and his reindeer entourage will travel 193 00:12:04,289 --> 00:12:07,139 around the world. So while you wait for the arrival of Father 194 00:12:07,139 --> 00:12:10,469 Christmas, why not keep an eye on his annual journey. A team of 195 00:12:10,469 --> 00:12:14,279 volunteers at the North American Air Command has been making that 196 00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:18,719 possible for 57 years. Captain Jeff Davis is a spokesperson for 197 00:12:18,719 --> 00:12:21,299 NORAD in called Colorado Springs. 198 00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:24,480 I'm looking at him on live radar. We've got him passing 199 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,320 over Daraa Salaam, Tanzania, and headed in the direction of 200 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,330 Nairobi, Kenya. He's delivered about 2.4 billion gifts so far. 201 00:12:33,330 --> 00:12:36,420 He's about a third of the way done with his journey. And he'll 202 00:12:36,420 --> 00:12:39,300 be headed over towards Canada, North America. 203 00:12:39,510 --> 00:12:42,390 Please really just listen to the whole thing. Is there a big 204 00:12:42,390 --> 00:12:43,800 payoff at the end? Tell me. 205 00:12:46,620 --> 00:12:48,720 You should just listen to the whole thing. It's not that long 206 00:12:48,750 --> 00:12:51,810 here. Not to not as an aviator, it's 207 00:12:51,810 --> 00:12:55,710 painful to late tonight. This is serious business. How do you 208 00:12:55,710 --> 00:12:58,770 keep track of him? He seems to be going so fast. He gets 209 00:12:58,770 --> 00:12:59,310 around. 210 00:13:01,980 --> 00:13:05,580 Let me tell you, we're good. In fact, just a couple of weeks 211 00:13:05,580 --> 00:13:11,010 ago, NORAD and the US Canadian team here in Colorado, track the 212 00:13:11,010 --> 00:13:14,400 launch of a North Korean tape odan missile. That's a lot of 213 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,270 the same tools that we use to track everything from infrared 214 00:13:18,270 --> 00:13:22,050 detecting satellites, ground based radars, radars that are 215 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,280 ships at sea. It's an intricate system. It's all networked 216 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,820 together. And once a year, on the 24th of December, we all 217 00:13:29,820 --> 00:13:33,690 come together and watch it watch Santa as he makes his journey 218 00:13:33,690 --> 00:13:34,410 around the world. 219 00:13:37,980 --> 00:13:40,980 This is the same technology they used to track the North Korean 220 00:13:40,980 --> 00:13:42,930 missile. John, did I hear that properly? 221 00:13:43,140 --> 00:13:45,690 Oh, yeah. Exact gear, same here. 222 00:13:49,860 --> 00:13:53,130 So which one is fake? The North Korean missile or the Santa 223 00:13:53,130 --> 00:13:55,140 Claus? I mean, they've got me. This is 224 00:13:55,140 --> 00:13:58,230 what this was what comes to mind when I see these kinds of 225 00:13:58,230 --> 00:14:01,560 reports. It's like, for let's see, I don't know what would 226 00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:04,920 parents think about my discussing this? Because the 227 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,210 crock of crap that's involved here is got to have some, some 228 00:14:09,210 --> 00:14:13,440 mind bending quality to the youth of the of the America 229 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:14,040 mostly. 230 00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:16,890 Well, that's why that's why people are easy to believe those 231 00:14:16,890 --> 00:14:19,830 stories. People believe Oh, yeah, NORAD, you know, didn't 232 00:14:19,830 --> 00:14:22,860 understand what they saw on 911. Of course, the whole thing is it 233 00:14:22,860 --> 00:14:25,860 makes total sense. confuse everybody about what's real and 234 00:14:25,860 --> 00:14:27,120 not real with that outfit. 235 00:14:28,590 --> 00:14:32,310 So you have like this, is this not so I'm thinking I'm asking 236 00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:35,190 the question as because this NORAD report was on over and 237 00:14:35,190 --> 00:14:40,500 over again, I couldn't take it. I think it was Canadian CBC, two 238 00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:44,100 of them not mistaken. But they all do this stuff. You know, you 239 00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:48,330 know, here's, we got a report from the barmy bass is like 240 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,800 this, at some point, when you realize that there's a Bogut of, 241 00:14:52,860 --> 00:14:56,520 you know, this is like a lot. There's lies lying to you. When 242 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,640 you realize it, you say Oh, that's interesting. The news 243 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:04,290 media full of crap. Hey, Andy just make you a better person. 244 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,880 Yeah. Does it make you a better person? I'd like to know you've 245 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,360 come to the realization about the age of 10. Or whenever, 246 00:15:12,390 --> 00:15:16,680 right? That the news media is lying to you. Does that make you 247 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,430 a skeptic? When you get older? Or does it just sat in you? Or 248 00:15:20,430 --> 00:15:23,400 does it? Or do you believe that you does it turn? You're 249 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,090 paranoid? Because now you don't know what to believe? What does 250 00:15:27,090 --> 00:15:27,540 it do? 251 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:33,480 I think it actually trains you to accept the fact that the news 252 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:39,600 media must lie to you when necessary. And that it is okay 253 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:40,590 when they do that. 254 00:15:41,220 --> 00:15:43,170 Because of course, you guys are good when I didn't get it. 255 00:15:43,170 --> 00:15:45,750 That's one interpretation I didn't get. That's the 256 00:15:45,750 --> 00:15:49,620 only thing I can think of. And because we all this has been 257 00:15:49,620 --> 00:15:54,240 going on for 57 years, apparently. So yeah, I think if 258 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,870 anything, it's perfect training. Perfect training. But you're not 259 00:15:57,870 --> 00:16:01,980 against the the concept of, of kids knowing about you know, 260 00:16:02,010 --> 00:16:05,220 believing in Santa Claus. Are you are you one of these? Really 261 00:16:05,220 --> 00:16:08,040 Baja? I mean, oh, wait, don't care 262 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,800 one way or the other. Wait a minute. I'm just concerned about 263 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,980 the effect on the law on the youthful brain. I understand. 264 00:16:13,980 --> 00:16:20,370 But I'm asking you a parental question. Did you keep the force 265 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,250 going with your kids when they were young? Or I'm sorry, I'm 266 00:16:24,090 --> 00:16:25,920 hoping they're not listening, but we're keeping it going 267 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:26,310 still? 268 00:16:26,730 --> 00:16:33,270 Exactly. Hey, Oh, seriously? Did you did you guys? Like keep it 269 00:16:33,270 --> 00:16:37,410 alive? Did you participate in the ruse and be honest, John, 270 00:16:37,410 --> 00:16:38,250 come on, talk to me. 271 00:16:39,150 --> 00:16:41,550 Watch it. Of course I did. I mean, that's what you do with 272 00:16:41,550 --> 00:16:43,110 kids. It's hilarious. 273 00:16:43,170 --> 00:16:45,570 I don't know. Some people could have unleashes, you know, I'm 274 00:16:45,570 --> 00:16:47,100 just just questioning when we do 275 00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:51,390 that, too. But that's just a kid getting killed in an airport. So 276 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,310 we blame anyone for doing that. But you thought 277 00:16:53,310 --> 00:16:55,950 you think is hilarious to lie to them about Santa Claus? Do you 278 00:16:55,950 --> 00:16:58,020 think that's funny? It's it's supposed to 279 00:16:58,170 --> 00:17:01,350 do you think it's funny? You don't think it's funny that he 280 00:17:01,350 --> 00:17:02,820 had no sense of humor? Of course. I 281 00:17:02,820 --> 00:17:06,690 think it's funny. Now we have your first kid and the kids like 282 00:17:06,810 --> 00:17:09,390 for you know, it's like it's fun, you know? And did you put 283 00:17:09,390 --> 00:17:11,430 the cookies in the milk out? Come on, John, tell me. 284 00:17:11,579 --> 00:17:17,399 My wife always. And I always get up and take a bite out of one. 285 00:17:17,879 --> 00:17:18,359 Of course. 286 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,460 I drew the line at the tooth fairy. I'm like, This is going 287 00:17:23,460 --> 00:17:26,400 too far. This is bullcrap. We can't be doing this. This is too 288 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:26,850 much. 289 00:17:28,740 --> 00:17:31,800 Did you see what we do with the tooth fairy? We I think we kept 290 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,610 that going. It's a good job. But Bogota. I mean, because kids 291 00:17:35,610 --> 00:17:38,310 brainwaves are different till they're about 14 Anyway, they're 292 00:17:38,310 --> 00:17:42,210 dead. They're actually in a kind of a somnambulistic state. 293 00:17:42,210 --> 00:17:42,720 That's not 294 00:17:42,900 --> 00:17:46,920 word subnet. Normal subnet realistic. Good word. Big word. 295 00:17:47,550 --> 00:17:51,480 Big one big Whopper. Yeah, like that. So they until their brain 296 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,050 starts to adjust to the reality of things as you I guess you can 297 00:17:55,050 --> 00:17:57,300 buffalo overall. I mean, I like to do I still do the magic 298 00:17:57,300 --> 00:18:00,450 tricks? You know, you catch a kid young enough you can make 299 00:18:00,450 --> 00:18:02,070 him think that you know, everything's you know, your 300 00:18:02,070 --> 00:18:06,000 whole idea. Your hand takes very little skill to make stuff 301 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:06,810 disappear. Like 302 00:18:06,810 --> 00:18:11,820 the bending of the spoon. That's my favorite on the table. Making 303 00:18:11,820 --> 00:18:18,420 things disappear. Look gone. Like the allowance. Oh, look, 304 00:18:18,420 --> 00:18:24,030 the kid your allowance is gone. So I didn't I didn't see it 305 00:18:24,030 --> 00:18:28,860 live. But of course, we had the big Obama's interview Barbara 306 00:18:28,860 --> 00:18:31,410 Walters interviewing the President and the First Lady. 307 00:18:31,890 --> 00:18:35,310 And I only saw I don't know if this is the whole thing. It 308 00:18:35,310 --> 00:18:39,150 could be I saw like eight minutes online. Did you see this 309 00:18:39,150 --> 00:18:42,060 by any chance? Did you in the family huddled around the ABC 310 00:18:42,060 --> 00:18:45,450 television network to to watch the big Barbara Walters 311 00:18:45,450 --> 00:18:47,490 interview with the President of the First Lady. 312 00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:53,220 God no. I decided that we're only getting Canadian TV up 313 00:18:53,220 --> 00:18:57,060 here. I would like oh, by the way, I want to mention 314 00:18:57,060 --> 00:19:01,320 something. Yeah, I did get a number a couple of our producers 315 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,320 even though this is not important anymore. did give me a 316 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,310 sling box link and I want to thank them profusely. But the 317 00:19:08,370 --> 00:19:11,430 thing is, the curious thing is I got I got one in Southern 318 00:19:11,430 --> 00:19:14,850 California that's off most of the time, or at least recently. 319 00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:19,050 But I have what I have the other three I got three they're all in 320 00:19:19,050 --> 00:19:23,130 Michigan. Oh really? I think is weird. And they're even in New 321 00:19:23,130 --> 00:19:26,430 York with a sling box and and give me the code access code to 322 00:19:26,550 --> 00:19:29,700 well we only we only have a few listeners in New York have named 323 00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:32,130 Tanya Of course I don't think she has a sling box. I mean New 324 00:19:32,130 --> 00:19:34,620 York in their in their own kind of vibe there man. They got 325 00:19:34,620 --> 00:19:37,440 their own thing going on. They got no time for us. They got no 326 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,500 commute. That's another thing if you if you're in Manhattan, you 327 00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:42,660 got no commute. You got nowhere to go. So you're not gonna 328 00:19:42,660 --> 00:19:43,440 listen to the show. 329 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,100 When people come in from Connecticut, yeah, 330 00:19:47,310 --> 00:19:52,260 increasingly. So here's three short little clips I just 331 00:19:52,260 --> 00:19:55,560 thought were very very interesting for literally very 332 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,200 short clips, but each of them really very something that has 333 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,730 something very telling about the elitism of the presidency of the 334 00:20:02,730 --> 00:20:06,720 United States of Gitmo nation. This first question is about 335 00:20:07,020 --> 00:20:11,520 what keeps the president up at night. What keeps you up at 336 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,690 night? By the way? Don't you love how she asked the question? 337 00:20:16,860 --> 00:20:17,910 There are times. 338 00:20:20,070 --> 00:20:23,610 stuff keeps me up at night all the time. But you know, the one 339 00:20:23,610 --> 00:20:28,890 good thing is I generally work hard enough during the day, that 340 00:20:28,890 --> 00:20:33,990 by the time I hit my head hits the pillow. I fall right to 341 00:20:33,990 --> 00:20:37,920 sleep. There are certain moments in the night before the bin 342 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,680 Laden raid. They're going to be Oh, really, 343 00:20:41,250 --> 00:20:46,830 the night before the bin Laden raid a. This is bullcrap he was 344 00:20:46,830 --> 00:20:50,850 on. He didn't even know it was going down. They pulled him off 345 00:20:50,850 --> 00:20:53,850 number they had to pull them off the golf course to do this. He 346 00:20:53,850 --> 00:20:56,040 didn't know what was happening the night before. 347 00:20:57,810 --> 00:21:00,300 What do you do? What do you do is full of crap. 348 00:21:01,110 --> 00:21:06,060 Stop clipping the clopping it's not good. All right. Would you 349 00:21:06,060 --> 00:21:08,040 stop that? It's very annoying, because I don't know if you know 350 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:08,220 what's 351 00:21:08,220 --> 00:21:10,590 weird about that sound effect, which is another device they 352 00:21:10,590 --> 00:21:12,870 gave me. I'll go and finish this. I'll tell you later. It's 353 00:21:12,870 --> 00:21:15,600 not important to sound like crickets. Does it sound like 354 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,530 crickets? It sounds 355 00:21:16,530 --> 00:21:18,960 like you're doing something really annoying is what it 356 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,890 sounds da Yeah. During during the clip even it's annoying. 357 00:21:23,340 --> 00:21:30,030 Don't do it. Wait. All right. So when you have a president who 358 00:21:30,030 --> 00:21:35,190 was talking about, you know, new gun row rules and gun control 359 00:21:35,190 --> 00:21:40,170 and, and all kinds of laws now, because of this horrible so 360 00:21:40,170 --> 00:21:43,110 called shooting that we have no real evidence of. It's kind of 361 00:21:43,110 --> 00:21:46,530 interesting. When he tells you about the reason he was 362 00:21:46,530 --> 00:21:49,740 reelected. He wanted to run for reelection. We joke sometimes 363 00:21:49,740 --> 00:21:53,670 about how I believe is getting the age now and boys start 364 00:21:53,670 --> 00:21:59,220 calling. And sort of I always talk about how one of the main 365 00:21:59,220 --> 00:22:01,770 incentives for running again was continuing Secret Service 366 00:22:01,770 --> 00:22:04,740 protection with guns around at all times. 367 00:22:06,660 --> 00:22:09,600 That's right. I have men with guns around my children all the 368 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,080 time. Which of course is yeah, I said guns didn't need he's 369 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,380 literally said gardens. Which of course is literally the argument 370 00:22:16,380 --> 00:22:20,880 if you look at the the left, right paradigm and pro con, gun 371 00:22:20,910 --> 00:22:25,320 control discussion. And the right in the end, the lobby is 372 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,200 saying well, why don't we have guns protecting our kids? And I 373 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,680 was like, that's crazy, but apparently not for the elites. 374 00:22:32,130 --> 00:22:36,660 Then it's okay then it's all right. But this one this one is 375 00:22:36,660 --> 00:22:40,920 about got me is kind of irk me a little bit as as angry as your 376 00:22:40,950 --> 00:22:46,350 Santa NORAD bullcrap. What is your favorite presidential perk? 377 00:22:46,380 --> 00:22:49,200 What could be John his favorite presidential perk? 378 00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:56,880 I'd say that did Air Force One. Well, the plane Yeah, 379 00:22:56,940 --> 00:23:01,470 I mean, look. It has been a while since I flew commercial. 380 00:23:02,700 --> 00:23:07,620 This is where our running like a Holy Crown and aihole elitist, 381 00:23:07,620 --> 00:23:08,310 but it gets better. 382 00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:10,080 But I remember 383 00:23:10,140 --> 00:23:13,470 I remember I remember when I used to fly commercial. I 384 00:23:13,470 --> 00:23:15,660 haven't forgotten yet. I'm still a normal guy. 385 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,950 Because I used to have to commute every week from DC to 386 00:23:19,950 --> 00:23:24,870 Chicago. And not having to take off your shoes before you get on 387 00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:29,010 a plane. Let me draw let me tell you is probably a pretty good 388 00:23:29,010 --> 00:23:29,460 luxury. 389 00:23:29,490 --> 00:23:30,600 That's a luxury 390 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:35,130 right there. Let me tell you wait a minute. Yeah. Oh, yeah. 391 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,530 When she said let me tell you that means that she's flying 392 00:23:40,530 --> 00:23:41,670 private jets to 393 00:23:41,699 --> 00:23:45,449 Yeah. Oh, Barbara Walters. Absolutely. But then 394 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,330 that expensive little trip she mentioned in the last show we 395 00:23:48,330 --> 00:23:52,200 did yeah. She's bragging about how much money they're spending 396 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,770 just say get that two second clip from Lindsay Lohan. Yeah, 397 00:23:55,830 --> 00:24:00,390 it wasn't expensive me let me tell you let me tell you but I 398 00:24:00,390 --> 00:24:03,510 took a commercial plane once and it didn't take off my shoes had 399 00:24:03,510 --> 00:24:05,700 people I'd never do it again and 400 00:24:05,700 --> 00:24:08,430 there were citizens everywhere and they were stinking and they 401 00:24:08,430 --> 00:24:10,770 were kids crying let me tell you 402 00:24:11,429 --> 00:24:14,669 pretty good luxury. And then obviously you're never late for 403 00:24:14,669 --> 00:24:17,939 flights because generally the plane doesn't take off without 404 00:24:17,939 --> 00:24:18,059 you 405 00:24:19,890 --> 00:24:20,700 generally 406 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,740 if the other Obama's on my plane without me if the other Obama's 407 00:24:28,740 --> 00:24:31,380 already on board then you know then you're screwed then you get 408 00:24:31,380 --> 00:24:34,680 then you got to go back to the dungeon depends on whoever gets 409 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,400 to the airport first. He's the guy that gets to go I guess if 410 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,970 he did that, that that just kind of got my goat that just like ah 411 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:48,960 really elite it's just so elite actually was funny there was 412 00:24:49,710 --> 00:24:53,070 because of course we got the big you got the big fiscal cliff 413 00:24:53,070 --> 00:25:00,120 coming up. Oh, hold on a second. I forgot we have to do our By 414 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,180 the end the first lady I guess it was a it must have been pre 415 00:25:06,180 --> 00:25:09,480 taped because they're all hamming it up there in Hawaii on 416 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,950 vacation but she was talking about you know what she does for 417 00:25:13,950 --> 00:25:18,960 the Christmas holidays and what she says at the end here to me 418 00:25:19,140 --> 00:25:21,540 I'm maybe I'm just reading it wrong maybe I'm just overly 419 00:25:21,540 --> 00:25:25,620 sensitive but to me it's a message as to get ready because 420 00:25:25,620 --> 00:25:28,620 this is what you're going to be eaten raw when it comes to the 421 00:25:28,620 --> 00:25:33,150 holidays every year. Well I'm the hostess in chief. We host a 422 00:25:33,150 --> 00:25:37,080 number of events here for a whole range of people it's very 423 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,860 traditional. I mean there's turkey there's you know the 424 00:25:40,860 --> 00:25:45,090 string beans and stuffing or mac and cheese this is a time when I 425 00:25:45,090 --> 00:25:48,450 throw let's move out the window for a moment and get that mac 426 00:25:48,450 --> 00:25:51,510 and cheese everybody deserves their mac and cheese. 427 00:25:51,660 --> 00:25:55,650 You eat it again.

Macaroni and Cheese cheddar melted 433 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,730 together or actually buy a box of Kraft it's cheap. 434 00:26:17,580 --> 00:26:22,770 Kraft That's the worst. Mac and cheese mac and cheese mac and 435 00:26:22,770 --> 00:26:25,290 cheese. You got the same thing, right? Ah, 436 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,750 yeah, I think she said the little two little mac and cheese 437 00:26:30,750 --> 00:26:32,400 to Sure you do. 438 00:26:33,750 --> 00:26:35,070 Mac and cheese 439 00:26:39,270 --> 00:26:43,440 and this your mac and cheese. That's annoying. I didn't watch 440 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,820 that. And I'd be in a bad mood. 441 00:26:45,389 --> 00:26:48,389 I'm not in a bad mood. I'm in a good mood. I have to say I know 442 00:26:48,389 --> 00:26:48,599 you're in 443 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,670 a good mood because you got to listen to somebody read you a 444 00:26:50,670 --> 00:26:56,010 fairy tale. I cried. I cried about the troll. Poor little 445 00:26:56,010 --> 00:26:59,430 troll he finally gave to became a person. 446 00:27:02,490 --> 00:27:05,220 I bet that your family right now is listening to this. No, 447 00:27:05,250 --> 00:27:07,410 they're not. If they were listening to this program, 448 00:27:07,710 --> 00:27:09,060 they'd be like all in bed. 449 00:27:10,830 --> 00:27:14,550 How come? How come John can be more like Adam and sensitive, 450 00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:29,100 sensitive male crying or the throne? He really is. So I've 451 00:27:29,100 --> 00:27:33,780 discovered something here though. People are you know, 452 00:27:33,780 --> 00:27:37,800 they're Oh, man. It's very hard, of course, to be here to talk 453 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,610 about anything. You know, like what we do is because you know, 454 00:27:42,210 --> 00:27:45,720 where no matter where you are. Inevitably people say Hey, so 455 00:27:46,050 --> 00:27:50,490 what do you do? And this is like, and this is the dreaded 456 00:27:50,490 --> 00:27:56,910 question. Yeah. Yeah, you know, I do podcasts and then. Oh, 457 00:27:56,910 --> 00:28:00,810 really? Oh, what's it about? And that's where you know, I'm at 458 00:28:00,810 --> 00:28:02,760 and then I've really got to think who do I have in front of 459 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,150 me? How much time do I have? And how much annoyance? Am I willing 460 00:28:06,150 --> 00:28:09,390 to bear to explain me you got to you like friends and family? 461 00:28:09,390 --> 00:28:13,710 Hey, Google, no agenda, Google no agenda and how but you 462 00:28:13,710 --> 00:28:16,350 you're stuck in situations and they're like, Well, what's it 463 00:28:16,350 --> 00:28:18,900 about this no agenda. And 464 00:28:19,140 --> 00:28:22,500 what is about it is what it is, I don't know, I didn't get out 465 00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:23,490 of this pretty easily. 466 00:28:24,090 --> 00:28:26,610 But someone came up and said something to me that I thought 467 00:28:26,610 --> 00:28:29,640 was quite interesting. Particularly in light of my ham 468 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,000 radio experience. Someone said you know, curry, and you've said 469 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,630 this said you're a lightning rod. You just attract stuff and 470 00:28:36,630 --> 00:28:40,200 you know, and which by the way, if you if anyone wherever to 471 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,680 read our emails and see what kind of things people say about 472 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,180 me to John about me, it's it's like I'm the lightning rod. You 473 00:28:48,180 --> 00:28:53,250 know, I just bring in the the the jolts of electricity. But 474 00:28:53,250 --> 00:28:57,270 then I forget, you are the grounding ribbon. That's why it 475 00:28:57,270 --> 00:29:02,130 works. Because when I'm alone, I really miss that. Like, oh, I 476 00:29:02,190 --> 00:29:03,780 want a grounding ribbon is 477 00:29:04,139 --> 00:29:06,959 yeah, it keeps it a good moves all the electricity down to the 478 00:29:06,959 --> 00:29:09,239 ground and then dissipates it. Exactly. And 479 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,030 it's literally like a ribbon of you know of copper essentially 480 00:29:12,030 --> 00:29:15,900 like a braid braid is maybe the better maybe it's called braid, 481 00:29:15,930 --> 00:29:17,070 I thought was ribbon Bray 482 00:29:17,100 --> 00:29:18,420 is probably a braid. Yeah. 483 00:29:19,050 --> 00:29:22,500 And you know, put together lightning rod and grounding 484 00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:26,580 braid. There you go. It's lightning rod and grounding 485 00:29:26,580 --> 00:29:32,460 braid in the morning, everybody Hey, let me do its lightning rod 486 00:29:32,460 --> 00:29:37,920 and grounding break that's why that's why it works between us 487 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,830 because you need that grounding braid from time to time and I 488 00:29:40,830 --> 00:29:41,880 and you get away with it. 489 00:29:44,250 --> 00:29:47,010 Get away with it. Like I'm trying to pull something 490 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,240 well yeah, you know you're not you just you get away with it. 491 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:58,290 Literally you you're the good guy. Alias Smith and Jones Oh, 492 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,320 yeah, sorry, called For reference beyond you, 493 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:09,420 yes, indeed. So what's in the news over there in the in the 494 00:30:09,420 --> 00:30:12,060 lowlands anything going on besides just the Christmas 495 00:30:12,060 --> 00:30:15,360 lights that find it was a very dull News Week? I mean, there 496 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,360 was nothing going on. We don't nobody's listening to the show. 497 00:30:18,870 --> 00:30:25,440 There's a C span I'm getting nowhere. Yeah, 498 00:30:25,470 --> 00:30:36,240 um you know, everything kind of, kind of shut down here. We kind 499 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,330 of it literally was they have two days of Christmas here. You 500 00:30:39,330 --> 00:30:41,430 know, the the first day of Christmas, the second day of 501 00:30:41,430 --> 00:30:44,040 Christmas, and then today will be the third, which everyone 502 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,790 basically just took off. And you wouldn't think as a crisis here. 503 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,330 People in crisis are not jobs that people like it did not 504 00:30:51,330 --> 00:30:55,110 work. And there's like, Screw it, we're not going to work. I 505 00:30:55,110 --> 00:30:58,680 do have an observation about something that's kind of weird 506 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,440 that America and Germany have in common. I'm not sure why I 507 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,220 haven't been able to quite figure it out. But it is, you 508 00:31:05,220 --> 00:31:07,170 know, now that we've been here for three weeks, I've been here 509 00:31:07,170 --> 00:31:14,220 for three weeks, Mickey's been here, five weeks. Thank you, 510 00:31:14,220 --> 00:31:18,330 Miss Mickey, for the sound effect. You know, so now we're, 511 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,900 you know, cash that we had some cash in our Dutch bank account 512 00:31:21,900 --> 00:31:27,300 that's gone. So now we have to use cash from our US bank 513 00:31:27,300 --> 00:31:31,920 account. But it's problematic because they have essentially 514 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:38,670 stopped the or disabled, the use of magnetic stripe swipe credit 515 00:31:38,670 --> 00:31:43,320 cards through all of Europe, except for Germany. You cannot 516 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:48,000 use a credit card anywhere pretty much anywhere in the in 517 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:55,140 Europe right now. Unless, yes, unless it has the digital chip 518 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,910 embedded in the card. Which of course no as far as I know, no 519 00:31:59,910 --> 00:32:04,410 American bank issues those you just can't use it. You know, you 520 00:32:04,410 --> 00:32:05,550 can still go to Chile 521 00:32:05,550 --> 00:32:10,080 manage Hold on a second stop. So I'm, I'm just going to show I'm 522 00:32:10,230 --> 00:32:15,030 flying over to Paris. Yeah. And I'm going to Lucas car tone or 523 00:32:15,030 --> 00:32:18,900 something you have a nice nice expensive meal. And I sit down 524 00:32:18,900 --> 00:32:23,040 with my friend and I put down my merican Express card to play pay 525 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,720 for the whatever rageous thing I did. And they say no miss you. 526 00:32:27,990 --> 00:32:31,260 Date is gutted. Scrap back? Well, 527 00:32:31,470 --> 00:32:35,400 I'm not exactly sure about every restaurant, some rest, we have 528 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,760 found one or two restaurants that still will take a swipe 529 00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:40,170 magnetic stripe card. 530 00:32:40,380 --> 00:32:43,470 But I'm talking just punch in the number know if you know, 531 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,910 if you're going to a gas station, if you're going to buy 532 00:32:47,910 --> 00:32:51,180 groceries in many places, they won't even accept cash anymore. 533 00:32:51,180 --> 00:32:54,090 They will they're literally signs that say you can only it's 534 00:32:54,090 --> 00:32:58,620 called pinning. You can only pin here no cash, literally no cash. 535 00:32:58,650 --> 00:33:04,050 I see. That's no cash. I see people at the at the little 536 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:04,350 little 537 00:33:04,740 --> 00:33:08,160 stop, stop, stop. So in other words, I got my card there I go 538 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,950 punch it into the ATM machine, which it should be able to read 539 00:33:10,950 --> 00:33:13,290 because there still is old machines around I get myself 540 00:33:13,650 --> 00:33:17,520 because I can't use the card. I punch out 500 euros. Yeah. And I 541 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,890 go to the gas station to get some gas and they tell me to get 542 00:33:19,890 --> 00:33:22,200 lost. No. 543 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,790 Well, some places and not saying necessarily the gas station, but 544 00:33:26,790 --> 00:33:29,490 there are there are stores for sure I can I'll send you a 545 00:33:29,490 --> 00:33:32,790 picture of the sign. There are stores that say you cannot pay 546 00:33:32,910 --> 00:33:36,030 cash here. Yeah, no cash. And it says anything. There's no but no 547 00:33:36,030 --> 00:33:39,690 cash only pin. So it has to be the smart card based credit 548 00:33:39,690 --> 00:33:43,710 card. For some reason. Germany has also not converted to this. 549 00:33:43,710 --> 00:33:47,970 But here's here's the thing that that that I find weird, is 550 00:33:47,970 --> 00:33:50,520 they're all saying well, the Americans need to catch up. 551 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,730 Let's catch up to what it's like, you know, and of course, 552 00:33:53,730 --> 00:33:56,940 it's you know, to change this infrastructure to change all of 553 00:33:56,940 --> 00:33:59,790 the card readers, et cetera. I mean, that's it, that would be a 554 00:33:59,790 --> 00:34:02,220 pretty big deal. I mean, that's not something that just happens. 555 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,850 And all of them we have 300 million people Yeah, and all of 556 00:34:05,850 --> 00:34:10,380 their systems here. The systems used to be actually they if you 557 00:34:10,380 --> 00:34:12,420 look at the card readers and they have the mobile card 558 00:34:12,420 --> 00:34:15,330 readers, there's a still a sliding slot but they've 559 00:34:15,330 --> 00:34:18,660 literally put a sticker over the slot that says with the card 560 00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:22,410 with a magnetic stripe with a big red circle and a slash 561 00:34:22,410 --> 00:34:25,890 through it like no, no credit card like that. And you know 562 00:34:25,890 --> 00:34:26,430 photos 563 00:34:26,429 --> 00:34:27,239 of this stuff. 564 00:34:27,270 --> 00:34:28,560 I will I will. 565 00:34:29,130 --> 00:34:35,250 This is this is ridiculous. It's yeah, what do they do about 566 00:34:35,250 --> 00:34:38,040 American tourists this would have this they gear 567 00:34:38,069 --> 00:34:41,069 they don't care. They really don't care. They're just like, 568 00:34:41,069 --> 00:34:45,239 No, no, I'm sorry. I can't take your credit card here. Like 569 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,649 what? No. And then and then you have to take your your your ATM 570 00:34:49,649 --> 00:34:53,789 your debit card, find a debit machine, your cash machine. 571 00:34:53,909 --> 00:34:56,909 Those still take it but I'm wondering for how long that may 572 00:34:56,909 --> 00:35:04,979 just stop one day to I don't know. It must Yeah, so Yeah, 573 00:35:04,979 --> 00:35:10,289 interesting. Now the hotel that we that I put certain Mickey up 574 00:35:10,289 --> 00:35:12,419 in three weeks ago, you know, after she got sent back, of 575 00:35:12,419 --> 00:35:15,569 course, I had to get her hotel real quick, you know, they took 576 00:35:15,569 --> 00:35:18,269 my credit card. So of course, there's some news, stuff like 577 00:35:18,269 --> 00:35:23,579 that. It's still accepted. But really just for general walking 578 00:35:23,579 --> 00:35:26,429 around and just, you know, either have a bunch of cash with 579 00:35:26,429 --> 00:35:31,919 you all the time, which, you know, seems counterintuitive to 580 00:35:31,919 --> 00:35:35,339 the entire system, because they really just want you to eat at 581 00:35:35,339 --> 00:35:38,099 the market, you're at the market, the stalls like a 582 00:35:38,099 --> 00:35:41,549 farmers market, they want you to pin at the farmers market, 583 00:35:41,549 --> 00:35:46,469 they've all got their mobile machines that they use stick 584 00:35:46,469 --> 00:35:50,729 your smartcard in at the market, just like the the meat guy or 585 00:35:50,729 --> 00:35:54,029 the cheese guy or the poultry guy standing out there on the 586 00:35:54,029 --> 00:35:56,429 market square, No cash, no, no, please pin 587 00:35:58,140 --> 00:36:01,830 screen. What's weird about it, is that if you're in America, 588 00:36:01,830 --> 00:36:04,500 and you want to get one of those cars, and one of those banks and 589 00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:07,560 you say when opening an account, you can't do it anymore. You if 590 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,290 you're an American, it's almost impossible to get a bank account 591 00:36:10,290 --> 00:36:13,620 in Europe, because of all these new international treaties that 592 00:36:13,620 --> 00:36:16,140 require them to report all American money. Well, I'm 593 00:36:16,140 --> 00:36:18,750 expecting any minute now because you know, I just had some kind 594 00:36:18,750 --> 00:36:22,590 of like, you know, just some money just here. And have 595 00:36:22,620 --> 00:36:25,710 there's been no real activity. But now that there's activity, 596 00:36:25,950 --> 00:36:28,050 you know, I'm worried because I'm going to have to send money 597 00:36:28,050 --> 00:36:32,010 from my US account into the Dutch accounts. So I can use the 598 00:36:32,010 --> 00:36:35,250 damn Dutch bank card. But once they see activity, they have to 599 00:36:35,250 --> 00:36:38,580 report that and once they're seeing, you know, they have to 600 00:36:38,580 --> 00:36:41,670 report it, then they may be like, wow, you know, you didn't 601 00:36:41,670 --> 00:36:44,040 fill out the forms because I've had this, you don't need your 602 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,400 businesses. Yeah, I've had the account forever. So it's 603 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,920 probably going to be you don't have the forms filled out. And 604 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,580 maybe you should just close. Yeah. 605 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:55,890 So let's see what's going to happen. 606 00:36:57,150 --> 00:36:59,520 So let's hope that we can get home in a couple of weeks and 607 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,110 not not to be here longer, because that'll be very trouble. 608 00:37:04,110 --> 00:37:04,230 I've 609 00:37:04,230 --> 00:37:05,400 never heard of any of this. 610 00:37:05,850 --> 00:37:08,670 Well, it's I've heard, I knew this was kind of happening. But 611 00:37:08,670 --> 00:37:11,340 it's not until you actually are here for a while and have to 612 00:37:11,340 --> 00:37:14,130 live and function that you notice it. But the thing that I 613 00:37:14,130 --> 00:37:17,790 don't understand is Germany is on this in the same boat with 614 00:37:17,790 --> 00:37:21,360 us. And Germany, of course, is where all the money is in 615 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,110 Europe. So I find it interesting that they have not converted to 616 00:37:25,110 --> 00:37:29,310 this smart smart card system. And you kind of would want the 617 00:37:29,310 --> 00:37:32,490 Germans to be over here using their plastic but I don't know, 618 00:37:32,550 --> 00:37:36,330 I I don't think we have to get look into this. I don't know, 619 00:37:36,330 --> 00:37:36,540 this is 620 00:37:36,540 --> 00:37:39,360 just an ICT thing. I mean, I Googled it, there's plenty of 621 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,210 articles and people say, well, it's just two incompatible 622 00:37:42,210 --> 00:37:46,230 systems. But that makes so little sense. from so many 623 00:37:46,230 --> 00:37:47,040 perspectives. 624 00:37:47,910 --> 00:37:52,020 It's not incompatible. It isn't. Oh, that's why the ATM machines 625 00:37:52,020 --> 00:37:54,060 work over there. Because they're all part of this about 10 626 00:37:54,060 --> 00:37:57,480 Network star network and MasterCard network when they're 627 00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,670 on the back of your debit card. There's a list of the 628 00:37:59,670 --> 00:38:03,180 part that's incompatible is the actual transaction part. I mean, 629 00:38:03,180 --> 00:38:05,940 the the back end all fits together and works is that 630 00:38:05,940 --> 00:38:07,410 transaction where it goes wrong. 631 00:38:09,420 --> 00:38:10,980 What does that mean? 632 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,900 That you can't transact? I can't use my card. My thing won't fit 633 00:38:15,900 --> 00:38:16,800 in there slot. 634 00:38:18,210 --> 00:38:21,930 No, I know. But that's that's, that's just a function of the 635 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,570 hardware. I mean, it's just that this is something fake. There's 636 00:38:24,570 --> 00:38:26,310 something weird about this story. 637 00:38:26,340 --> 00:38:31,140 Okay. Well, I hope we will have many people looking at Yeah, we 638 00:38:31,140 --> 00:38:34,440 need some bankers to chime in here with as part of a scheme. 639 00:38:34,860 --> 00:38:37,050 Yeah, that's what it is a scheme. 640 00:38:38,790 --> 00:38:40,620 It is it's part of the scheme obviously. 641 00:38:44,220 --> 00:38:46,950 Well, there you go. Well, so that's that's just an 642 00:38:46,950 --> 00:38:52,050 observation. Was there anything else that 643 00:38:56,730 --> 00:38:58,500 I've got a clip we can take. Yeah, 644 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,110 I mean, I got plenty of stuff. But not that just knowing 645 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,500 everything shuts down here. They have the big show called All You 646 00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:07,140 Need Is Love. Everybody watches it. Everybody cries for three 647 00:39:07,140 --> 00:39:11,070 hours. And then it's you know, banging. You doing 648 00:39:11,970 --> 00:39:13,710 trying to whistle the Beatles song. 649 00:39:14,190 --> 00:39:18,720 They actually use that song. In the show. Yeah. Where they're 650 00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:23,520 reuniting people who haven't seen yet was like, Oh, my 651 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,470 boyfriend lives in Australia. 652 00:39:26,190 --> 00:39:28,560 Oh, that's reminds me of this is your life. It used to be a show 653 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,760 in the 50s and 60s. It's this is your they have a show. It was 654 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,240 great. Had some sucker in the audience. They'd sucker somebody 655 00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:39,240 to come into the show, but he's actually the target. Yeah, it's 656 00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:42,480 a classic. Yeah, I'm surprised we don't do the show again. And 657 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,580 so the guys in the audience because he somehow has been 658 00:39:44,580 --> 00:39:47,670 bamboozled to come in into the show to watch it. Yeah. And then 659 00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:50,370 they call him on him. This is your life. This is your life. 660 00:39:50,370 --> 00:39:54,270 Adam curry. This is your life. They bring you up and embarrass 661 00:39:54,270 --> 00:39:54,510 you 662 00:39:54,540 --> 00:39:58,710 except in this case. It's It's It's nonstop. It's like 30 663 00:39:58,710 --> 00:40:02,550 different stories. And it's all you know, sad saps and then they 664 00:40:02,550 --> 00:40:04,740 have you know, and that some of them in the audience but others 665 00:40:04,740 --> 00:40:07,050 who just shows up at the door and like, oh, you know your 666 00:40:07,050 --> 00:40:10,620 boyfriend who lives in Uganda, you know. And of course, you 667 00:40:10,620 --> 00:40:13,200 know the guy they brought the guy over from Uganda. And the 668 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,770 guy's like, Damn, man, this is cold here. What am I doing here? 669 00:40:16,770 --> 00:40:20,100 I don't want to be in this gray, gray as country and raising 670 00:40:20,100 --> 00:40:23,460 laws. They put them on a bus. And they ship them through the 671 00:40:23,460 --> 00:40:27,390 country in the rain in this mist in the grayness and then you 672 00:40:27,390 --> 00:40:30,480 know, and then then then he's reunited with his girlfriend for 673 00:40:30,660 --> 00:40:35,160 for the Christmas holidays or whatever and and we all cry 674 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,770 because we all know the Ugandans are big on that Christmas thing 675 00:40:43,170 --> 00:40:46,950 anyway, so that's that was the My immediate experience here. 676 00:40:49,110 --> 00:40:53,730 You're gonna go okay, now I got a I want you to get this is that 677 00:40:53,730 --> 00:40:57,990 we played this game wants to before I want you to predict 678 00:40:57,990 --> 00:41:02,490 what I'm going to predict as the as a future distraction of the 679 00:41:02,490 --> 00:41:05,940 week. You've done it before and you nailed it and to see if you 680 00:41:05,940 --> 00:41:08,910 can do it again. And here's the prediction guests time clip. 681 00:41:08,970 --> 00:41:12,480 Follow President George HW Bush may spend Christmas in the 682 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,630 hospital. Bush has been in a Houston hospital for a month 683 00:41:15,630 --> 00:41:19,110 suffering from bronchitis. His staff said today they need to be 684 00:41:19,140 --> 00:41:23,250 extra cautious with his care. Bush is in stable condition. 685 00:41:24,870 --> 00:41:28,980 I think you're going to predict Nelson Mandela today 686 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:33,870 have already done that. So I gotta 687 00:41:34,170 --> 00:41:36,300 Oh, by the way, a lot of a lot. A lot of people giving you 688 00:41:36,300 --> 00:41:39,360 props, even though you called Nelson Mandela you're getting 689 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:43,230 credit for for George Bush being in the hospital. Did you notice 690 00:41:43,230 --> 00:41:43,620 this? 691 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,790 Yeah, I did. And so I'm now but I 692 00:41:47,790 --> 00:41:51,510 can tell you something right now. He's a goner. It's over. I 693 00:41:51,510 --> 00:41:54,960 mean, I have inside information for sure. He's not coming out. 694 00:41:55,770 --> 00:41:59,160 Okay, so, but is it gonna be before or after Mandela? 695 00:42:00,450 --> 00:42:04,410 I think he's gone before because he's gone before. And in fact, 696 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,250 this is really teeing a lot of people off because, you know, 697 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,030 yeah, they always have some bush retrospective packages ready to 698 00:42:12,030 --> 00:42:15,330 go for for when it's time, and they knew that he had 699 00:42:15,330 --> 00:42:18,450 Parkinson's they knew wasn't, you know, you know, they knew 700 00:42:18,450 --> 00:42:21,600 that he was not doing too well. I think I haven't mentioned 701 00:42:21,930 --> 00:42:24,810 that, that Donald told me that he wasn't doing that he was 702 00:42:24,810 --> 00:42:28,110 actually doing quite poorly. And I think he's going to usurp 703 00:42:28,110 --> 00:42:31,290 Mandela, screw you, Mandela. And yeah, he's gonna have a much 704 00:42:31,290 --> 00:42:32,070 bigger show. 705 00:42:34,380 --> 00:42:39,510 Well, this would annoy a lot of liberals because a Mandela is a 706 00:42:39,510 --> 00:42:42,750 big deal that needs you know, he's, it could be a one two 707 00:42:42,750 --> 00:42:45,450 punch. I mean, this would definitely cover up with 708 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,010 every Cliff everything. Yeah, total total Cliff cover up. 709 00:42:50,730 --> 00:42:55,680 So you can so you have Bush going out before the first if 710 00:42:55,710 --> 00:42:58,440 you know, at all possible. And 711 00:43:02,070 --> 00:43:04,710 if it all possible, you know, horrible man. 712 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,670 I'm not I'm just I'm telling it like it is just a realist. Let 713 00:43:08,670 --> 00:43:13,290 me give you let me give you the rundown. The BBC had a friend of 714 00:43:13,290 --> 00:43:17,580 the family. And this, you'll never see this guy talking about 715 00:43:17,580 --> 00:43:20,580 this again, because he really led way too much. 716 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,750 Because it was admitted to the in ICU, the intensive care unit 717 00:43:24,750 --> 00:43:28,710 at Methodist on Sunday. He's dealing he's been dealing with a 718 00:43:28,710 --> 00:43:34,110 series of setbacks and includes a persistent fever. And doctors 719 00:43:34,110 --> 00:43:37,770 are doing everything, everything they can to wrap their arms 720 00:43:37,770 --> 00:43:40,020 around it, they're cautiously optimistic that their current 721 00:43:40,020 --> 00:43:41,310 course of treatment and love, they're 722 00:43:41,310 --> 00:43:44,790 cautiously optimistic, if anyone says that if you ever if you're 723 00:43:44,790 --> 00:43:50,010 in a hospital, and you're done, we're cautiously optimistic, 724 00:43:50,010 --> 00:43:53,370 Mrs. Curry. It's like forget it, call the lawyer. I'm out. I'm 725 00:43:53,370 --> 00:43:54,120 done when to 726 00:43:54,300 --> 00:43:59,040 be effective. And so the President, the President is, 727 00:43:59,460 --> 00:44:03,090 he's, that'll put you in the ICU because things are going well. 728 00:44:03,090 --> 00:44:07,200 So we're obviously hoping that the medicines and the treatments 729 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,860 can help him turn things around a battled bronchitis for about 730 00:44:10,860 --> 00:44:14,370 three weeks. And at age 88, despite the great shift that the 731 00:44:14,370 --> 00:44:17,130 President's always been in throughout his life, that really 732 00:44:17,130 --> 00:44:20,460 takes a toll on you. And so, coming out of that he was doing 733 00:44:20,460 --> 00:44:23,700 his physical therapy that was going well, until the middle 734 00:44:23,700 --> 00:44:26,730 part of last week, he's just started to have a few low energy 735 00:44:26,730 --> 00:44:30,900 days. And things kind of snowballed from there. Probably 736 00:44:30,900 --> 00:44:33,600 exactly the wrong time because of his weakened condition 737 00:44:33,660 --> 00:44:36,840 because of the fight against bronchitis. At eight years old. 738 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,030 It just adds up to a tough situation right now. 739 00:44:41,730 --> 00:44:43,590 This guy should not be the spokesperson. 740 00:44:46,410 --> 00:44:53,790 No, no. Let's see what we got here. George HW Bush. He is 88 741 00:44:53,820 --> 00:44:54,990 and I think he's a goner. 742 00:44:55,830 --> 00:44:58,080 Yeah, no, I think he's a goner, too. I mean, that's why I'm 743 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,620 predicting but but It's gotten it's all a matter of timing. I 744 00:45:01,620 --> 00:45:06,480 mean, they gotta do something. I don't know. I mean, it's I mean, 745 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,690 sound modeling, but some has to be done. They have done stuff 746 00:45:09,690 --> 00:45:12,210 happens, and I think they have Bush going, 747 00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:14,040 they've done something different. They've done 748 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,160 something different. I'm quite amazed you haven't you haven't 749 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,640 even figured this one out. We have to distract from the fiscal 750 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,330 cliff. You don't have to. I mean, yeah, if Bush goes or 751 00:45:24,330 --> 00:45:27,810 Nelson Mandela, that would, of course change the news cycle. 752 00:45:28,020 --> 00:45:30,570 But you've I mean, the simplest thing is to focus them on a 753 00:45:30,570 --> 00:45:31,560 different cliff. 754 00:45:34,230 --> 00:45:34,950 All right, hit it. 755 00:45:35,580 --> 00:45:39,180 Hit at the gas pump. Now it could be our grocery bills. I'm 756 00:45:39,180 --> 00:45:39,900 Ashley cat. 757 00:45:40,110 --> 00:45:42,510 I am David Oliver, good to have you joining us this evening. 758 00:45:42,510 --> 00:45:45,660 Shoppers may soon see the cost of a gallon of milk spike 759 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,800 between six and $8. It's already around four bucks a gallon 760 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,510 spreading your grocery money thin 761 00:45:51,660 --> 00:45:54,510 cartons. Laurie Patton has been following this issue and joins 762 00:45:54,510 --> 00:45:58,290 us now. Lori wait for CBS News is calling this the dairy cliff 763 00:45:58,290 --> 00:45:58,410 at 764 00:45:58,830 --> 00:46:05,940 the dairy cliff. We just need to give them a different cliff. The 765 00:46:05,940 --> 00:46:09,210 one well that's it. I'm not gonna play the whole report. 766 00:46:09,210 --> 00:46:11,430 It's it's all about how see dairy 767 00:46:11,430 --> 00:46:12,600 cliff. Yeah, see, 768 00:46:12,810 --> 00:46:16,320 but there's no dairy cliff. This is bogus. Of course, it's bogus. 769 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:17,730 But if the whole we're 770 00:46:17,790 --> 00:46:20,280 not here in farm country, and we're looking at Dairy, so 771 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:21,450 there's a cow now. I mean, 772 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,140 you want to hear the report, because then you'll see how 773 00:46:25,140 --> 00:46:28,560 people will be severely affected. Our citizens, our 774 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:32,190 senior citizens will want to have their milk, this 775 00:46:34,140 --> 00:46:35,310 go into cat food. 776 00:46:36,270 --> 00:46:38,310 The solution to the farm bill will be attached to a 777 00:46:38,310 --> 00:46:41,850 reconciliation of the Farm Bill. Yeah, that's what they're saying 778 00:46:41,850 --> 00:46:46,560 the farm bill is this is just another illusion. And of course, 779 00:46:46,830 --> 00:46:50,250 we Little Timmy has jumped in there with the all the debt 780 00:46:50,250 --> 00:46:53,160 ceiling. So we just you don't need someone to die. You just 781 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,190 need and that's unpredictable. You know, you need something you 782 00:46:56,190 --> 00:46:58,260 need to focus people on other things. So 783 00:46:58,290 --> 00:47:02,130 I don't have my No, I disagree. 100% on this one. Okay, I 784 00:47:02,130 --> 00:47:05,280 think it's the dairy cliff. And I think it's the fiscal ceiling, 785 00:47:05,550 --> 00:47:08,430 the debt ceiling, and that that will be the focus and that just 786 00:47:08,610 --> 00:47:13,020 did anything to distract anything to distract. And I 787 00:47:13,140 --> 00:47:16,950 know, it will be great if when the old man can go be fantastic, 788 00:47:16,980 --> 00:47:18,270 but they need some cover. 789 00:47:20,580 --> 00:47:22,710 Well, it's gonna they're definitely going to lay it on. 790 00:47:22,710 --> 00:47:25,110 It's going to go into goo probably in the next. Let's see 791 00:47:25,110 --> 00:47:29,670 our last show. Our next show is going to be after the first No, 792 00:47:29,700 --> 00:47:32,070 no, no, we have one. That's where we got a Sunday show.

Well, we already received a note from one of our 802 00:48:02,370 --> 00:48:06,720 producers who has received I guess they use h&r block which 803 00:48:06,720 --> 00:48:11,820 is a really really big kind of strip mall type place where you 804 00:48:11,820 --> 00:48:15,480 go and get your taxes done.

So it's 817 00:48:57,930 --> 00:49:00,960 kind of like payday it's a scam it's it's kind of a scam the 818 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:02,370 owner is ripped off 819 00:49:02,490 --> 00:49:05,760 so those guys are sending out emails now to their to their 820 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:10,530 clients. And the top of the email is the alternative minimum 821 00:49:10,530 --> 00:49:14,220 tax and they sent me that email Oh you didn't see it you were 822 00:49:14,220 --> 00:49:19,230 copied on it. Oh wow. Oh, I don't know what I'll just read 823 00:49:19,230 --> 00:49:22,590 you the first line I have I saved it of course I'll read you 824 00:49:22,590 --> 00:49:26,880 the first line from what h&r block are sending out to all of 825 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:31,350 their customers Hold on a second and where is it h&r Block 826 00:49:31,350 --> 00:49:40,770 article got it loading it up tax mageddon financial cliff what 827 00:49:40,770 --> 00:49:44,580 the fiscal nice what the fiscal cliff means to you this is 828 00:49:44,580 --> 00:49:47,700 what it means ah by the way what it means to h&r block is they're 829 00:49:47,700 --> 00:49:51,060 not going to be able to get this this really fun deal work. Yeah, 830 00:49:51,090 --> 00:49:53,340 because they're not gonna get anything. Yeah, they must 831 00:49:53,340 --> 00:49:57,810 be so two things creating tax mageddon for individual filers 832 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,650 AMT, Alternative Minimum Tax axe, this has not been patched 833 00:50:01,650 --> 00:50:06,030 since December 31 2011 expiration, and more than 70 834 00:50:06,030 --> 00:50:09,540 Common tax breaks. And right there at the top, what is AMT? 835 00:50:09,570 --> 00:50:15,870 Little, you know, a couple of answers there. And it says 34 836 00:50:15,870 --> 00:50:18,870 million taxpayers could be hit with the alternative minimum tax 837 00:50:18,870 --> 00:50:24,210 34 million, that's quite a lot. And the example they give is, 838 00:50:24,390 --> 00:50:33,240 you could go from a tax refund of $1,056 to owing $1,400. And 839 00:50:33,240 --> 00:50:36,570 that's from they say, an analysis by the tax Institute. 840 00:50:37,290 --> 00:50:41,610 So that is a difference there of several $1,000. Of course, they 841 00:50:41,610 --> 00:50:44,070 get they're really pissed because they don't get any of 842 00:50:44,070 --> 00:50:49,350 that deal that they get to shaft people with. But of course, they 843 00:50:49,350 --> 00:50:53,400 are asking people to, you know, to, you know, get their stuff in 844 00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,180 early, etcetera, etcetera, and what to what to be prepared for. 845 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:02,520 So, that's, that's kind of the first, the first shell Yeah, but 846 00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,740 there's what's the first I've really seen of any, any 847 00:51:04,740 --> 00:51:09,390 Institute of any standing that has kind of gotten on board with 848 00:51:09,390 --> 00:51:12,660 your analysis, which you've been talking about. To some 849 00:51:12,660 --> 00:51:17,970 incessantly Yes. I was crying about the troll, but it wasn't 850 00:51:17,970 --> 00:51:20,760 about the troll. It was about your story of the alternative 851 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,380 minimum tax. That's 852 00:51:22,950 --> 00:51:27,390 one of our one of our producers. One of our producers did come up 853 00:51:27,390 --> 00:51:32,190 with a with a clip on the on the morning show on CBS. Did you 854 00:51:32,190 --> 00:51:35,520 know that early today competitor? Yeah. And it was 855 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,830 actually it was it was reasonable. And you can play 856 00:51:37,830 --> 00:51:40,590 it's a fiscal cliff or fifth goal. Do I have it on your on 857 00:51:40,590 --> 00:51:41,730 CBS? Start with 858 00:51:41,730 --> 00:51:44,400 the fiscal cliff looming? Yeah. What effect do you think it will 859 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:44,730 have 860 00:51:45,029 --> 00:51:48,569 most of what the fiscal cliff is going to impact is taxes 861 00:51:48,599 --> 00:51:52,049 starting next year in 2013 and beyond, but there are portions 862 00:51:52,049 --> 00:51:54,959 of it that could impact taxpayers this year, about 30 863 00:51:54,959 --> 00:51:59,309 million taxpayers could see their taxes increase this year, 864 00:51:59,399 --> 00:52:02,429 100 million of them, according to the IRS could see their 865 00:52:02,429 --> 00:52:05,609 refunds delayed. And this is because of something known as 866 00:52:05,609 --> 00:52:10,049 the alternative minimum tax. That's the AMT. Usually, they 867 00:52:10,049 --> 00:52:13,379 increase that amount they adjusted for inflation, but they 868 00:52:13,379 --> 00:52:16,379 haven't done it yet. It's all wrapped up in this fiscal cliff 869 00:52:16,379 --> 00:52:19,229 debate. And so if you're somebody making a household 870 00:52:19,319 --> 00:52:23,519 making $45,000, you could actually see your taxes go up as 871 00:52:23,519 --> 00:52:27,899 much as $4,000. This year, if they don't address the issue, I 872 00:52:27,899 --> 00:52:28,229 was just 873 00:52:28,230 --> 00:52:30,660 gonna ask you and who would that be affected? You just said it, 874 00:52:30,690 --> 00:52:34,680 people. Yeah, people returned to your harpsichord. 875 00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,750 That's right. Shit isn't back to your harpsichord.

But yeah, it's good 878 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,720 at HR, you got to send me that thing, because I can use it for 879 00:52:48,720 --> 00:52:52,560 a column I'm writing. Sure. Thank you. 880 00:52:52,590 --> 00:52:54,720 I gotta get into this column business. It seems like 881 00:52:54,720 --> 00:52:57,900 trying to do this. I'm trying to get nobody wants to talk about 882 00:52:57,900 --> 00:52:59,970 this is amazing. I mean, and there's some morning show that 883 00:52:59,970 --> 00:53:03,330 nobody watches. I mean, the top show is on ABC, the second one's 884 00:53:03,450 --> 00:53:08,850 today's show, and nobody watches the CBS show. So anyway, 885 00:53:09,660 --> 00:53:14,130 let me let me say in the morning to you, John C. 886 00:53:14,130 --> 00:53:17,160 Dvorak. Well, in the morning to you, Adam, currently also in the 887 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,370 morning to all the ships at sea boots on the ground subs in the 888 00:53:20,370 --> 00:53:23,430 water feet in the air and also in the morning to all the 889 00:53:23,430 --> 00:53:25,860 Knights and Dames out there who have supported the show so 890 00:53:26,010 --> 00:53:29,340 religiously over the past couple of years. And we appreciate that 891 00:53:29,340 --> 00:53:30,120 to an extreme we 892 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,630 sure do, as well as all of our artists Martin JJ back again 893 00:53:33,630 --> 00:53:36,930 with the previous episodes artwork we ironic we do love 894 00:53:36,930 --> 00:53:41,610 everything that comes in to no agenda, art generator.com, 895 00:53:41,610 --> 00:53:46,470 please continue to support the artwork. It's, we know that when 896 00:53:46,470 --> 00:53:49,200 we have crappy artwork, donations are down it's fact 897 00:53:49,380 --> 00:53:52,410 just a fact. And of course, I'd like to say a big in the morning 898 00:53:52,410 --> 00:53:55,980 to all of the human resources who are charged up ready to go 899 00:53:55,980 --> 00:54:00,900 depleting their $9.1 million value in the chat room. I think 900 00:54:00,900 --> 00:54:04,110 actually you devalue a little quicker when you're in the chat 901 00:54:04,110 --> 00:54:08,430 room during these these holiday season weeks. And that is no 902 00:54:08,430 --> 00:54:11,640 agenda stream.com no agenda chat.net You really get burning 903 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,900 extra cash register, you know, clearly you have no life. But we 904 00:54:15,900 --> 00:54:22,650 do appreciate you showing up and keeping us keeping us honest. It 905 00:54:22,650 --> 00:54:28,590 always works. And I believe we do have some people catching up 906 00:54:28,710 --> 00:54:30,990 who want to get their knighthoods before the end of 907 00:54:30,990 --> 00:54:35,010 the year so they can get in, still get a ring and then be in 908 00:54:35,010 --> 00:54:38,610 on the new PIN program. And these are people who are not 909 00:54:38,610 --> 00:54:41,460 doing it obviously for the ring but they're doing it to support 910 00:54:41,460 --> 00:54:45,660 the program known as the best podcast in the universe. And as 911 00:54:45,660 --> 00:54:49,860 you know, we produce this show for you regardless of the 912 00:54:49,860 --> 00:54:53,400 circumstances.

I'm talking about the big gun 943 00:56:37,410 --> 00:56:40,800 show that they have on Sundays once a month. We just haven't 944 00:56:40,860 --> 00:56:43,980 had an opportunity to do that yet with Scott and I think his 945 00:56:43,980 --> 00:56:47,370 bride and here's the one I got to the newest meme on news. He 946 00:56:47,370 --> 00:56:51,030 says it's about the gun culture. I currently hold the gun 947 00:56:51,030 --> 00:56:56,040 culture.com.org dotnet domains. I'm worried I just painted a big 948 00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,500 target on my back.

Yeah. 951 00:57:03,330 --> 00:57:06,180 With the I think you just keep the gun culture.com I think it's 952 00:57:06,180 --> 00:57:09,930 fine. I don't think you have a target on your back. HSPs I hope 953 00:57:09,930 --> 00:57:11,850 to complete my knighthood this week, if the world doesn't come 954 00:57:11,850 --> 00:57:15,570 to an end, I got delayed when my wife got laid off this month. So 955 00:57:15,660 --> 00:57:19,590 this is this comes at expense, a personal expense to Scott and We 956 00:57:19,590 --> 00:57:22,950 highly appreciate it. And yes, he will be knighted today during 957 00:57:22,950 --> 00:57:23,790 our ceremony 958 00:57:24,299 --> 00:57:29,039 if he has the gun culture.com I think and it's just sitting 959 00:57:29,039 --> 00:57:31,559 there as a dead domain and he doesn't have a Parker or 960 00:57:31,559 --> 00:57:34,979 anything that he can run on it.

So we've been 1103 01:06:43,290 --> 01:06:48,930 talking about this word that the that Harry Reid used when he 1104 01:06:48,930 --> 01:06:52,740 went in and slipped about the National Defense Authorization 1105 01:06:52,740 --> 01:06:56,460 Act 2013. He all of a sudden just kind of, you know, slip 1106 01:06:56,460 --> 01:07:00,840 that into to the conversation and the word Hold on a second. 1107 01:07:03,030 --> 01:07:08,370 Oh, this is dumb. Here we go. I'll play the clip for you the 1108 01:07:08,370 --> 01:07:11,040 abbreviated clip and the majority leaders recognize 1109 01:07:11,070 --> 01:07:13,680 or could I ask my friend to yield for unanimous consent 1110 01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,690 request and he would have the floor as soon as I finish? 1111 01:07:15,690 --> 01:07:19,080 Absolutely. Sorry to do that. That objection so ordered. Madam 1112 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,210 President, I understand I'm stumped when the Senate receives 1113 01:07:21,210 --> 01:07:26,160 the papers with respect to hr 4310. The Senate passage of HR 1114 01:07:26,190 --> 01:07:28,230 4310, as amended be vitiated. 1115 01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:32,940 So, we've been trying to figure out what this word is. And 1116 01:07:32,940 --> 01:07:36,870 someone sent me a New York Times article that really blew me 1117 01:07:36,870 --> 01:07:40,950 away. And the word John is Vitiate. We thought it was 1118 01:07:40,980 --> 01:07:44,220 investigated, but it's Vitiate. Vi, we know what we're doing. 1119 01:07:44,250 --> 01:07:47,850 But I want you to go to this page. So you can because you 1120 01:07:47,850 --> 01:07:50,160 have to see this article just to put away for later 1121 01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:55,500 vitiate.career.com V i TIATE Vitiate 1122 01:07:55,590 --> 01:07:59,580 e i, a i have split again 1123 01:07:59,610 --> 01:08:07,440 vitiates v i t IAT II Vitiate. And I'll give you the 1124 01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:13,860 definition, spoil or impair the quality or efficiency of or to 1125 01:08:13,860 --> 01:08:19,380 destroy or impair the legal validity of it is basically code 1126 01:08:19,380 --> 01:08:23,340 for we want to Destry said we want to Vitiate the amendment, 1127 01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:26,400 the there are only a couple of amendments. This, of course, was 1128 01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:29,190 the amendment, the least and everyone's 1129 01:08:29,189 --> 01:08:34,379 baffled by how it disappeared. So we have no idea what 1130 01:08:34,379 --> 01:08:37,739 happened. I voted for the amendment odd voted for so you 1131 01:08:37,739 --> 01:08:38,969 can reelect me. 1132 01:08:39,029 --> 01:08:42,269 This was the amendment to protect citizens from indefinite 1133 01:08:42,299 --> 01:08:49,019 detainment without any type of due process. And yeah, the way 1134 01:08:49,019 --> 01:08:52,019 they get rid of it is by saying we're going to Vitiate it. And 1135 01:08:52,019 --> 01:08:54,839 if you read this article at Vitiate, our courier.com for 1136 01:08:54,839 --> 01:08:59,489 your scanning by now, John, this is a huge word that is used all 1137 01:08:59,489 --> 01:09:04,979 the time and mainly Demick. From by the Democrat Party. They use 1138 01:09:04,979 --> 01:09:08,879 its code, it will just Vitiate that if someone says having the 1139 01:09:08,879 --> 01:09:11,729 Vitiate you then you better watch out because it's probably 1140 01:09:12,749 --> 01:09:17,189 a two to the head scenario. And it's, it's, it's a very 1141 01:09:17,309 --> 01:09:20,729 interesting word that just you know, it mean, whoever thinks 1142 01:09:20,729 --> 01:09:23,729 about these things, like and it's under the guise of Vitiate, 1143 01:09:23,729 --> 01:09:28,319 whatever. Instead of destroy, remove, get rid of, here's a 1144 01:09:28,319 --> 01:09:29,309 little more of that clip. 1145 01:09:29,460 --> 01:09:33,390 Without objection. Further, I ask unanimous consent that the 1146 01:09:33,390 --> 01:09:35,160 adoption the sentiment be vitiated. 1147 01:09:35,580 --> 01:09:41,010 vitiated. Oops. Goodbye, gone. Done. So that's how it works. 1148 01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:44,700 Yeah. And he goes, sneaks into the dead at night. Unanimous 1149 01:09:44,700 --> 01:09:50,280 consent decree blows it through and everybody's baffled. What 1150 01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:53,760 happened to our amendment? I thought it was in there or it's 1151 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:59,970 not in there. Oh, well, well. What a bunch of shitheads it 1152 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:00,450 Yeah. 1153 01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:08,610 So I got another, I've been looking at language and if they 1154 01:10:08,610 --> 01:10:13,680 had got started off start off by someone sent us a link. Did you 1155 01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:18,480 see this link about? Let me be clear. Did you see that out? So 1156 01:10:18,480 --> 01:10:21,810 someone sent us, one of our producers sent us a link. And it 1157 01:10:21,810 --> 01:10:26,670 was the kind of the etymology of of let me be clear or let it be 1158 01:10:26,670 --> 01:10:32,010 clear, an article written by Daniel guerra in and very 1159 01:10:32,010 --> 01:10:35,400 interesting about that this really comes from a fascist, it 1160 01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:38,520 has this let me be clear that has a very fascist background. 1161 01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,400 In fact, that comes from his article fascism and big 1162 01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:44,370 business. And that whenever a politician says, Let me be 1163 01:10:44,370 --> 01:10:48,690 clear, it essentially is really saying, shut up slave, you have 1164 01:10:48,690 --> 01:10:52,710 no business questioning this, there is no questioning, because 1165 01:10:52,710 --> 01:10:56,820 it is clear. And then, as I'm thinking about that, it thinks, 1166 01:10:56,850 --> 01:10:59,850 of course, I'm hearing a Germanic speaking country. I'm 1167 01:10:59,850 --> 01:11:02,880 thinking about the use of the word homeland, which of course 1168 01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:07,470 started after 911. Which, to my knowledge, and you can correct 1169 01:11:07,470 --> 01:11:11,700 me, John, I don't think the word homeland was ever really used in 1170 01:11:11,700 --> 01:11:15,090 the United States before the Department of Homeland Security. 1171 01:11:15,090 --> 01:11:16,080 Can you recall 1172 01:11:16,110 --> 01:11:18,930 never Well, I don't remember it. I mean, may have been used here 1173 01:11:18,930 --> 01:11:22,560 and there by some one person, but it was not. It wasn't in the 1174 01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:26,070 general lexicon. It all showed up after 911 and now it's the 1175 01:11:26,070 --> 01:11:28,350 homeland the homeland the home now we got to protect the 1176 01:11:28,350 --> 01:11:32,010 homeland. Exact the home as a fatherland in Germany, of the 1177 01:11:32,010 --> 01:11:33,630 Motherland in Russia. Yes. Well, 1178 01:11:33,660 --> 01:11:37,020 either one is just good. And then something what else? Have 1179 01:11:37,020 --> 01:11:40,170 we been picking up on that? In particular, our president says a 1180 01:11:40,170 --> 01:11:43,170 lot the vice president says it we've also heard the first lady 1181 01:11:43,170 --> 01:11:45,870 say it what is what is it like it's another thing that just 1182 01:11:45,870 --> 01:11:50,280 bothers us whenever we hear him say it, what does it look? How 1183 01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:53,430 about folks? Folks, folks, 1184 01:11:53,790 --> 01:11:57,600 some like he says, folks mind he says, Look, so font look is dude 1185 01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:01,260 look to me as let me be clear in shorthand, but But where's 1186 01:12:01,260 --> 01:12:06,090 folks coming from? Folks is coming from the German folk. 1187 01:12:06,510 --> 01:12:09,720 Okay. Yeah. Volks Volkswagen is of is the people's car. 1188 01:12:09,750 --> 01:12:13,710 Yes. Which was a Nazi car. But really, if you look at the 1189 01:12:13,710 --> 01:12:16,500 etymology, if you look at the etymology of the word folk, it 1190 01:12:16,500 --> 01:12:21,720 really it's not it's even below citizenry. And it's the common 1191 01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:24,810 people. They are the folk. So your folks, it's another elitist 1192 01:12:24,810 --> 01:12:27,090 from the top thing saying, Folks, 1193 01:12:27,450 --> 01:12:30,570 but they right if it was it was Leona Hemsley, it would have 1194 01:12:30,570 --> 01:12:31,650 been the little people 1195 01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:37,050 exactly. But then I'm thinking and by the way, the Germans or 1196 01:12:37,110 --> 01:12:40,560 not the Germans, the Nazis, specifically the Nationalist 1197 01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,740 Party, because you know, the Nazis, you know, that was just a 1198 01:12:43,740 --> 01:12:46,350 term that was brought in later, but they were the Nationalist 1199 01:12:46,350 --> 01:12:53,970 Party. They were talking about one folk, one, homeland, one 1200 01:12:53,970 --> 01:12:58,680 fewer, one leader. And I'm thinking how long until we hear 1201 01:12:58,770 --> 01:13:01,830 instead of the President going, hello, everybody just says Hi, 1202 01:13:01,830 --> 01:13:06,030 everybody. I mean, how it can't be that long, John. I think 1203 01:13:06,030 --> 01:13:09,240 we're very close to it. He just might slip it in. If we start if 1204 01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:16,050 someone starts using the word Hail, hail. He's already said, 1205 01:13:16,050 --> 01:13:18,600 Hi, everybody. Maybe he's saying hail. Maybe we're just not 1206 01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:22,080 hearing it. Right. Heil everybody. And he could slip 1207 01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:27,630 that in man. I'm gonna pay attention to it. So So indemnity 1208 01:13:27,630 --> 01:13:30,060 overdoing the folks bold that well, 1209 01:13:30,090 --> 01:13:34,680 but but who says that? Who said the folks thing? I mean, that's 1210 01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,770 not it's not a southern thing? I don't think and he's not 1211 01:13:37,770 --> 01:13:41,550 southern. He's from Illinois. You know, it's just Where's that 1212 01:13:41,550 --> 01:13:42,420 coming from? 1213 01:13:43,410 --> 01:13:46,440 Coming from his elitist? attitude? I mean, he's actually 1214 01:13:46,470 --> 01:13:48,870 I think he's sincere when he says that he's thinking 1215 01:13:48,870 --> 01:13:51,870 everyone's just a bunch of dummies. Folks there are there 1216 01:13:51,870 --> 01:13:54,270 folks are out there. And they're poor folks are suffering. 1217 01:13:54,270 --> 01:13:56,820 They're just getting by, you know, and I hate and but you 1218 01:13:56,820 --> 01:14:00,210 know, the greatest part of this job is I got a big giant jet. 1219 01:14:01,260 --> 01:14:04,050 Doesn't matter of fact, my wife sometimes flies separately, is 1220 01:14:04,050 --> 01:14:05,220 that great or what? 1221 01:14:06,660 --> 01:14:09,300 And, of course, what's gonna happen now is you'll get email 1222 01:14:09,450 --> 01:14:12,690 saying what an eighth hole I am, and that I should go work for 1223 01:14:12,690 --> 01:14:17,190 Fox News. Because I'm not bad. I'm only bashing Obama, and I'm 1224 01:14:17,190 --> 01:14:19,830 bashing our president. And if you listen to this program long 1225 01:14:19,830 --> 01:14:23,160 enough, we bash the previous president just as much, if not 1226 01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:28,800 more. So, so here, here's here's now, our president, though I 1227 01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:32,160 will give him this is of course a constitutional scholar. We all 1228 01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:36,540 know that he is a professor in the Constitution. I'm correct in 1229 01:14:36,540 --> 01:14:37,170 that, right. 1230 01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:41,220 Yes. Well, he's actually was a teaching assistant from what I 1231 01:14:41,220 --> 01:14:43,530 can tell. I mean, this is a sketch. Oh, come on. I'm not 1232 01:14:43,770 --> 01:14:47,160 that sir. But I'll give it to go on. It's fine. Okay. 1233 01:14:47,580 --> 01:14:52,200 So now we have everyone who listens to this show. The best 1234 01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:57,330 podcast and universe knows that you John C. Dvorak are also a 1235 01:14:57,330 --> 01:15:00,000 constitutional scholar and we can ask you all kinds of 1236 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:00,600 Questions? 1237 01:15:00,870 --> 01:15:03,180 Yeah, you could ask me whatever you want. I'll take credit for 1238 01:15:03,180 --> 01:15:03,750 this. Okay. 1239 01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:07,980 So I'm listening to the president responding. And this 1240 01:15:07,980 --> 01:15:10,260 was actually a clip from last week, and I went back to watch 1241 01:15:10,260 --> 01:15:14,370 it again. And he's talking about the Second Amendment. And I'd 1242 01:15:14,370 --> 01:15:17,730 like to hear his explanation again, just briefly, 15 seconds 1243 01:15:18,030 --> 01:15:19,920 of the Second Amendment. 1244 01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:22,920 Now, like the majority of Americans, I believe that the 1245 01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:26,070 Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. 1246 01:15:27,090 --> 01:15:31,020 Is this the truth, John, is what does the Second Amendment 1247 01:15:31,050 --> 01:15:34,470 actually do? And this is important to know, because if 1248 01:15:34,470 --> 01:15:38,400 people want to repeal, get rid of the Second Amendment, which, 1249 01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:42,300 as I'm Falk, we could do the folk could all get together all 1250 01:15:42,300 --> 01:15:45,120 the folks who would say, we don't want the Second Amendment. 1251 01:15:45,480 --> 01:15:48,900 I asked you, and maybe I'm interpreting this wrong. But I 1252 01:15:48,900 --> 01:15:53,100 asked wrongly, what does what is the Second Amendment does it 1253 01:15:53,100 --> 01:15:55,920 guarantee as the President just said, Hey, let me listen to one 1254 01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:58,110 more time and just listen to one more time the constitutional 1255 01:15:58,110 --> 01:15:59,520 president, the constitutional scholar. 1256 01:16:00,300 --> 01:16:02,370 Now, like the majority of Americans, I believe that the 1257 01:16:02,370 --> 01:16:05,400 Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. 1258 01:16:05,430 --> 01:16:10,590 He said, like the majority of Americans, I believe that the 1259 01:16:10,590 --> 01:16:13,500 second American Amendment guarantees the right to bear 1260 01:16:13,500 --> 01:16:16,200 arms. Is this the truth? John C. Dvorak? Is that what it 1261 01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:16,980 guarantees? 1262 01:16:18,030 --> 01:16:21,720 Well, the interpretation would would suggest that but let's 1263 01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:23,130 read the Second Amendment. I'm 1264 01:16:23,130 --> 01:16:25,200 glad. I'm glad. Shall I read it to you? 1265 01:16:25,650 --> 01:16:28,170 Yeah, you can, I can read it. But you can read it you do on 1266 01:16:28,170 --> 01:16:28,980 the roll, though 1267 01:16:29,009 --> 01:16:33,029 a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a 1268 01:16:33,029 --> 01:16:36,659 free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms 1269 01:16:36,689 --> 01:16:43,019 shall not be infringed. That is the Second Amendment. Right, 1270 01:16:43,049 --> 01:16:49,859 that does not guarantee the right to bear arms. It says that 1271 01:16:50,249 --> 01:16:53,789 the people have the right to bear arms, but that the 1272 01:16:53,789 --> 01:16:56,489 government is not allowed to infringe upon that right. It 1273 01:16:56,489 --> 01:17:01,589 isn't this is not the right. Am I crazy in this thinking? 1274 01:17:03,480 --> 01:17:10,080 Well, I don't know. It's it's essentially, it's like the 1275 01:17:10,110 --> 01:17:13,350 government can't infringe on a religion does it 1276 01:17:13,380 --> 01:17:17,550 which is, which is if you look at all the amendments, they do 1277 01:17:17,550 --> 01:17:21,270 not grant everything, all the amendments are saying is here's 1278 01:17:21,270 --> 01:17:24,720 an extra thing the government is not allowed to do, right. They 1279 01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:27,210 give essentially, like we always have to remember this, and a lot 1280 01:17:27,210 --> 01:17:30,420 of people would seem to for especially a lot of people in in 1281 01:17:30,420 --> 01:17:36,270 the in Obama's camp, the Constitution is is designed to 1282 01:17:36,270 --> 01:17:39,870 limit the government fangirling a lot of stuff. Thank you. And 1283 01:17:39,870 --> 01:17:43,140 that's why the SEC, the 10th amendment was was done and put 1284 01:17:43,140 --> 01:17:48,420 in there to re assert the fact that the federal government, the 1285 01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,510 states have all these rights. The federal government only has 1286 01:17:51,510 --> 01:17:53,850 a limited number of rights. And we will tell you what they are 1287 01:17:53,850 --> 01:17:57,030 in the Constitution. And that's what they do. They gig and tax, 1288 01:17:57,030 --> 01:18:00,570 they can put together a big army to protect the whole place. And 1289 01:18:00,570 --> 01:18:03,870 they can do this and that, but they can't. They can't do what 1290 01:18:03,990 --> 01:18:07,500 has been going on for the last week. But this year, the 1291 01:18:07,500 --> 01:18:07,980 interesting 1292 01:18:07,980 --> 01:18:12,510 thing is that we already have that right. In fact, if you look 1293 01:18:12,510 --> 01:18:19,350 at many state constitutions, that right is to bear arms is 1294 01:18:19,350 --> 01:18:23,190 already reiterated it's in the state constitution. But the Bill 1295 01:18:23,190 --> 01:18:27,240 of Rights does not. There's no granting of any right to bear 1296 01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:30,810 arms. We have that right. As citizens, as human beings, we 1297 01:18:30,810 --> 01:18:33,930 have that right. The second amendment, as with most of these 1298 01:18:33,930 --> 01:18:38,070 amendments, and the Bill of Rights, is only to tell to tell 1299 01:18:38,070 --> 01:18:41,580 the government what they're not allowed to do. And I find it 1300 01:18:41,670 --> 01:18:45,960 fascinating that these three simple lines are so 1301 01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:52,380 misinterpreted and that it is being reiterated that that that 1302 01:18:52,380 --> 01:18:55,890 somehow the Bill of Rights or the amendments give give some 1303 01:18:55,890 --> 01:18:58,590 rights to you know, no, this has nothing to do with rights. We 1304 01:18:58,590 --> 01:19:01,770 already have these they cannot be taken away from us at all. 1305 01:19:03,090 --> 01:19:06,090 Not by the government, not by the government. Not by the not 1306 01:19:06,090 --> 01:19:08,400 by the federal government. It can be taken away from you by a 1307 01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,700 city government. Yep. Yeah. Or state governments already it's 1308 01:19:11,700 --> 01:19:13,740 already available. I mean, there's a New York you can't 1309 01:19:13,740 --> 01:19:17,340 have a gun in fact, dig dig Gregory chip Gregory, the guy 1310 01:19:17,340 --> 01:19:21,660 who was on that ship, you know him I have that guy have 1311 01:19:21,660 --> 01:19:23,460 the clip of him breaking the law. You want to hear it? It's 1312 01:19:23,460 --> 01:19:24,780 pretty funny. Yeah, play it. 1313 01:19:24,900 --> 01:19:28,950 Police are investigating whether NBC is David Gregory violated DC 1314 01:19:28,950 --> 01:19:30,420 gun laws violated 1315 01:19:30,420 --> 01:19:33,090 listen to listen to this. This. This is a great package. This, 1316 01:19:33,090 --> 01:19:36,840 by the way is the Asian woman on I think CDC and and really early 1317 01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:37,320 in the morning 1318 01:19:37,349 --> 01:19:40,349 when he displayed what he described as a 30. round 1319 01:19:40,349 --> 01:19:43,619 magazine during a Meet the Press interview, check it out. Check 1320 01:19:43,619 --> 01:19:43,709 it 1321 01:19:43,710 --> 01:19:48,120 out. Here's a magazine for ammunition that carries 30 1322 01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:52,320 bullets. Now, isn't it possible that if we got rid of these if 1323 01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:54,750 we replaced them and said well, you could only have a magazine 1324 01:19:54,750 --> 01:19:58,860 that carries five bullets or 10 bullets? Isn't it just possible 1325 01:19:58,980 --> 01:20:01,710 that we could reduce the carnage in a situation like new I don't 1326 01:20:01,710 --> 01:20:04,950 believe that's going to make one difference. Now check it out. 1327 01:20:04,980 --> 01:20:07,800 We don't know if the magazine was authentic or a prop that we 1328 01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:08,070 do. 1329 01:20:09,900 --> 01:20:12,390 Or opera department 1330 01:20:12,420 --> 01:20:16,110 if anyone has had a magazine in their hands is basically just 1331 01:20:16,500 --> 01:20:22,170 it's a piece of like flimsy metal with a spring prop pretty 1332 01:20:22,170 --> 01:20:25,320 much the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life but let's 1333 01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:28,860 listen to how it's described in this tag. 1334 01:20:28,890 --> 01:20:32,760 Now this having a large capacity ammunition device a large 1335 01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:36,900 capacity ammunition device Jack a magazine is illegal in 1336 01:20:36,900 --> 01:20:38,220 Washington DC I have 1337 01:20:38,220 --> 01:20:41,460 a large capacity sperm device be very careful. It could be 1338 01:20:41,460 --> 01:20:48,510 illegal in Washington DC. And really this is crazy. I'm it's 1339 01:20:48,510 --> 01:20:49,170 crazy. 1340 01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:54,540 Well, I think personally. Chips should show Intel thing was a 1341 01:20:54,540 --> 01:20:56,610 scam as well. Okay. 1342 01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:57,660 I'd love to hear your take. 1343 01:20:58,230 --> 01:21:00,720 I think that they brought it he because he's never done this 1344 01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:04,080 before. He's never had any thing that yeah, products. And they 1345 01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:08,580 were selling a prop on the shop chip. So he brings a prop on 1346 01:21:09,030 --> 01:21:12,270 draws attention to the fact that it's yeah, he doesn't say it's 1347 01:21:12,270 --> 01:21:15,900 illegal. But then all the news me Oh, he broke the law. We've 1348 01:21:15,900 --> 01:21:19,230 got to bust him for breaking the law. So he's actually going to 1349 01:21:19,230 --> 01:21:24,090 be because the law is fair. He's actually going to be brought up 1350 01:21:24,090 --> 01:21:26,490 on charges and that questions. He's a good guy. They're gonna 1351 01:21:26,550 --> 01:21:30,480 you know, it'll be a felony or anything, it'll be suspended and 1352 01:21:30,480 --> 01:21:33,540 all the bullcrap that goes along with it. I agree. I agree. gonna 1353 01:21:33,540 --> 01:21:37,170 draw a lot of attention to this. And it's going to bring out you 1354 01:21:37,170 --> 01:21:39,450 know, it's going to be what? Wow, you these people are 1355 01:21:39,450 --> 01:21:42,300 serious. The whole thing is a scam. 1356 01:21:42,570 --> 01:21:45,930 I give that to you. I think you're absolutely right. hadn't 1357 01:21:45,930 --> 01:21:48,660 even thought about it that way. Makes a lot of sense. So 1358 01:21:48,660 --> 01:21:52,770 probably, he will do a mia culpa. A Mia culpa. I think he'd 1359 01:21:52,770 --> 01:21:57,690 be like, ah, you know, I, I really shouldn't have done that. 1360 01:21:58,590 --> 01:22:02,220 And he'll probably pay a fine, small fine. 1361 01:22:02,940 --> 01:22:07,470 Lucia network will pay. Yeah. Yeah. I know. He's never had a 1362 01:22:07,470 --> 01:22:11,160 prop on that show. Ever. So now he's got a bag as the out of the 1363 01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:18,120 blue. Where do you get it from his bull crap? Yeah. Yeah. Well, 1364 01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:18,240 the 1365 01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:22,140 whole thing is just a whole conversation. And the whole 1366 01:22:22,140 --> 01:22:27,810 Mendes conversation here. Oh, it's so hard. You know? When it 1367 01:22:27,810 --> 01:22:30,240 is, I mean, people like, well, at least Obama is gonna get rid 1368 01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:32,640 of the guns. And I'm like, Why is 1369 01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:36,000 he here? We got a bunch of notes from people that well, you now 1370 01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:39,210 you guys are no, I was 20. I got to watch at some guy tweeting 1371 01:22:39,210 --> 01:22:46,200 me. Guns and all you should we think more like a European. Hey, 1372 01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:51,510 jerk off. We're not Europeans. Don't think like Europeans. I 1373 01:22:51,510 --> 01:22:54,690 do. I think like a euro. You do. But I mean, generally speaking, 1374 01:22:54,690 --> 01:22:57,390 Americans are not Europeans. Most have never even been to 1375 01:22:57,390 --> 01:23:00,810 Europe. They have them can't even find Europe on the map. So 1376 01:23:00,810 --> 01:23:02,070 get over it. 1377 01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:13,050 Yeah, now, it's just you know, and so this this second 1378 01:23:13,050 --> 01:23:16,920 amendment thing is, here's our like, well, you know, you've got 1379 01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:20,160 that crazy NRA lobby, it's the big lobby, the big lobby.

He'll get rid of all the 1382 01:23:27,060 --> 01:23:31,590 guns. Like, really? Look at the mirror and say that and it just 1383 01:23:31,620 --> 01:23:35,250 you Do you understand what you're talking about? This is 1384 01:23:35,250 --> 01:23:39,570 not possible. It's not possible. No, it's not that I usually have 1385 01:23:39,570 --> 01:23:42,630 to go into this is what we do. This is our culture. We make 1386 01:23:42,630 --> 01:23:46,440 guns. We sell them to other people. Now, 1387 01:23:46,469 --> 01:23:50,309 yeah, we're selling worldwide and we blow things on that too. 1388 01:23:50,339 --> 01:23:50,549 Yeah. 1389 01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:54,720 We teach people how to pull the trigger.

They're just, they just they have a leg up, but 1402 01:24:41,430 --> 01:24:44,850 they're just in a better spot. Because they, you know, they're 1403 01:24:44,850 --> 01:24:47,850 trained, they understand they know how to look through it, and 1404 01:24:47,850 --> 01:24:51,390 how to not get depressed. You know, this is we're good for 1405 01:24:51,390 --> 01:24:54,840 your psyche. And I think that it's it's going to get better. I 1406 01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:59,940 can only see more and more people waking up to the reality. 1407 01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:07,380 Some of the crap that is being shoveled into their brains and I 1408 01:25:07,380 --> 01:25:13,050 do see more and I meet more and more people here who are in 1409 01:25:13,050 --> 01:25:15,030 Europe but certainly in the Netherlands when they're waking 1410 01:25:15,030 --> 01:25:16,800 up in the Netherlands is good, you know, then there's something 1411 01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:19,110 happening that's probably all part of the alignment of all the 1412 01:25:19,110 --> 01:25:22,950 planets and whatever. Maybe that is. Yeah, that's what the whole 1413 01:25:22,950 --> 01:25:24,540 mind thing was a job 1414 01:25:24,540 --> 01:25:27,420 the query? Yes. Yeah, well, 1415 01:25:27,540 --> 01:25:30,810 we are in the Age of Aquarius, we're coming out of the I was an 1416 01:25:30,810 --> 01:25:33,000 Iron Age into the Bronze Age and 1417 01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:35,880 I believe in some of the information age my friend, I 1418 01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:37,260 believe in some of that some, 1419 01:25:37,440 --> 01:25:40,140 some of that's gotta be there's gotta be something to it, you 1420 01:25:40,140 --> 01:25:43,620 cannot deny that you know, we evolve as a species and the 1421 01:25:43,620 --> 01:25:48,180 planet evolves and and stuff happens you know, maybe would 1422 01:25:48,180 --> 01:25:50,670 you know, maybe one day will will not just be the best 1423 01:25:50,670 --> 01:25:54,450 podcast in universe but the only podcast in the universe 1424 01:25:54,780 --> 01:25:55,500 Well, that could be 1425 01:25:57,570 --> 01:26:01,410 broadcasting on seven megahertz on HF the 1426 01:26:01,410 --> 01:26:06,360 difference between Americans and Europeans I think is epitomized 1427 01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:12,060 in a clip I have they had pure your buddy Piers Morgan, who 1428 01:26:12,060 --> 01:26:13,860 everybody seems to want to deport by 1429 01:26:13,860 --> 01:26:18,510 the way can I just say that when everyone of course knows that 1430 01:26:18,510 --> 01:26:22,080 Piers Morgan there's a We the People petition I think that up 1431 01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:26,130 to 90,000 was like deport Piers Morgan. The Brits have now 1432 01:26:26,130 --> 01:26:29,220 including Jeremy Clarkson Bless his heart are now say they've 1433 01:26:29,220 --> 01:26:32,310 started their own petition. No, no, no, don't allow him to come 1434 01:26:32,310 --> 01:26:35,370 back. There's a petition to send is a petition to send them to 1435 01:26:35,370 --> 01:26:37,410 Guantanamo. There's a petition to 1436 01:26:37,469 --> 01:26:41,789 shuffle autonomo ones when I signed Canada, let me tell you 1437 01:26:41,820 --> 01:26:45,720 look at his Twitter stream. This is bugging the crap out of him. 1438 01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:49,650 This is really good. I know what it feels like to be hated. 1439 01:26:49,679 --> 01:26:53,459 You think so? Oh, yeah. Oh, dude. Because it's smart money. 1440 01:26:53,459 --> 01:26:55,769 We'll just take it as a publicity stunt and just go and 1441 01:26:55,769 --> 01:26:56,219 No, no, 1442 01:26:56,220 --> 01:26:59,190 no, no, no. You know how I feel when someone says something. 1443 01:26:59,730 --> 01:27:02,250 I'll refuse to leave. I'll go on to laugh. 1444 01:27:03,209 --> 01:27:05,969 You know how I feel when someone says something negative, right. 1445 01:27:05,969 --> 01:27:08,549 How do I respond? I'd like it irks me. You know what? 1446 01:27:08,940 --> 01:27:11,310 Yeah, you get hurt. Yeah, that's what I think is one of the 1447 01:27:11,310 --> 01:27:13,500 reasons they do that. Right. Well, of course, 1448 01:27:13,530 --> 01:27:16,410 but it's a human reaction. You can't help it. I'm looking at 1449 01:27:16,410 --> 01:27:20,610 his tweet stream. This is irking the guy, he says really, really 1450 01:27:20,610 --> 01:27:23,550 pissing them off. And I therefore encourage more of it. 1451 01:27:23,730 --> 01:27:27,450 I think this is fantastic. This is the best way is that you 1452 01:27:27,450 --> 01:27:29,850 know, and the guy's not without blame. I mean, come on. He's a 1453 01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:34,590 he's a phone hacking douchebag we know it. We all know it. And 1454 01:27:34,590 --> 01:27:36,780 you know, he's a hypocrite. I think that's the thing. It's 1455 01:27:36,780 --> 01:27:39,570 just a big ass hypocrite. And that's what and people smell it. 1456 01:27:39,660 --> 01:27:43,380 This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius people can feel the 1457 01:27:43,380 --> 01:27:46,710 vibrations this guy is no good. And that's why there's no 1458 01:27:46,710 --> 01:27:49,500 I think there's some truth to that. Yeah, you can people can 1459 01:27:49,500 --> 01:27:52,200 see on it cornball by this stuff, but I do sense is there's 1460 01:27:52,230 --> 01:27:55,470 people consumptive often sense yeah. When someone says to me, 1461 01:27:55,470 --> 01:27:57,690 they can be fooled. Yeah, because the guy was any good, 1462 01:27:57,690 --> 01:27:59,460 but he's not that good. It's a douchebag 1463 01:27:59,460 --> 01:28:02,310 ometer. It's built into you and it's getting better. It's just 1464 01:28:02,310 --> 01:28:03,030 getting better. 1465 01:28:04,620 --> 01:28:09,300 So he's got Jack Hanna, who's who's the who's the far I used 1466 01:28:09,420 --> 01:28:12,540 zoo guy who's travels the world. He gets all these weird animals. 1467 01:28:12,540 --> 01:28:15,720 He shows up on all the talk shows and this poor bastard 1468 01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:19,170 Pearce can't get any ratings. And so he started to do what the 1469 01:28:19,170 --> 01:28:21,990 jargon is like the old Johnny Carson Show. So he brings his 1470 01:28:21,990 --> 01:28:25,620 guy on. He's a stiff pierces and he doesn't get to you know, all 1471 01:28:25,620 --> 01:28:27,600 these animals are floating around. He doesn't think they're 1472 01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:32,490 cute, and he just and Hannah just drops his little. He brings 1473 01:28:32,490 --> 01:28:35,700 out an armadillo a three piece art. It's some sort of specific 1474 01:28:35,700 --> 01:28:40,350 Armadillo that closes up into a perfect ball. You got this right 1475 01:28:40,350 --> 01:28:41,730 here. Wow, get the batteries in it. 1476 01:28:42,030 --> 01:28:45,420 What is this? This right here is a three banded Armadillo 1477 01:28:46,050 --> 01:28:50,940 the batteries in it as a joke, I'm gonna put this arrow here 1478 01:28:50,940 --> 01:28:53,550 the three better I'm doing cvac 3123. Now what? 1479 01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:58,770 So he says, you Hannah says to his assistant, you got the 1480 01:28:58,770 --> 01:29:02,040 batteries in it because it looks like a toy. Yeah. And this idiot 1481 01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:04,920 Piers Morgan says What was this about the batteries thinking he 1482 01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:05,940 was serious. 1483 01:29:05,970 --> 01:29:08,100 He's so it's such an idiot. 1484 01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:12,090 He actually literally said and when you saw when I saw it, my 1485 01:29:12,090 --> 01:29:15,480 jaw dropped. He was actually wondering why Hanna refer to 1486 01:29:15,480 --> 01:29:21,600 batteries for this crazy little. He said it was like what are 1487 01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:23,520 you? That's stupid. 1488 01:29:25,710 --> 01:29:30,690 Yeah. But it's okay to be stupid. I'm okay with that. But 1489 01:29:30,690 --> 01:29:33,600 you know it because I started looking at his Twitter stream. 1490 01:29:33,870 --> 01:29:37,680 And he there he's like, I just had Christmas party at the White 1491 01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:40,800 House. And here I am with Michelle and the president. Like 1492 01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:43,470 you're douchebag Why is he getting invited to Christmas to 1493 01:29:43,470 --> 01:29:46,650 the White House? The petition has more people have signed the 1494 01:29:46,650 --> 01:29:52,440 petition than watch his damn show. I mean, seriously. What is 1495 01:29:52,440 --> 01:29:55,620 that? That can only be because he's getting some kind of 1496 01:29:55,620 --> 01:29:59,610 marching orders or whatever. I mean, and by the way, he's 1497 01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:04,170 he's Tweet tweeting about a picture of eating aka bragging 1498 01:30:04,170 --> 01:30:06,810 about going to Christmas in the White House with a picture with 1499 01:30:06,810 --> 01:30:08,850 a picture with a picture 1500 01:30:09,180 --> 01:30:11,820 with a picture of him and the President and the First Lady. 1501 01:30:12,600 --> 01:30:18,330 Oh, yeah. And I'm just thinking, remember that he's spot he is 1502 01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:23,220 just a mouthpiece. And so now it becomes it comes into, you know, 1503 01:30:23,250 --> 01:30:26,670 everything becomes clearer, the picture is widening up for me, 1504 01:30:26,880 --> 01:30:30,210 because he was, of course, the replacement for Larry King. 1505 01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:33,090 Let's not forget where he's coming from. He has received 1506 01:30:33,090 --> 01:30:36,720 Larry king's throne is Prince Pierce. Essentially, Prince 1507 01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:40,230 Pierce is put onto the king's throne. And he's given his 1508 01:30:40,230 --> 01:30:44,100 marching orders. And this is why he's why he's supposed to be 1509 01:30:44,100 --> 01:30:48,300 outraged. But even the Brits now are good friends and get my 1510 01:30:48,300 --> 01:30:54,150 nation east. They're like, come on. We know the Americans. They 1511 01:30:54,150 --> 01:30:56,970 don't want some guy with a funny accent telling him what to do 1512 01:30:56,970 --> 01:30:59,430 you stupid. Even their things is stupid. 1513 01:31:01,500 --> 01:31:04,620 Oh, I had not met this follow him. You have to 1514 01:31:04,620 --> 01:31:07,410 follow him. It's fantastic. I mean, what you want to do is you 1515 01:31:07,410 --> 01:31:09,660 want to get a retweet from him because you know, then you he's 1516 01:31:09,660 --> 01:31:14,160 got like 3 million followers. But just follow us. He's pissed. 1517 01:31:14,580 --> 01:31:18,180 It irks him. It really really irks him. And I think that's you 1518 01:31:18,180 --> 01:31:23,640 know, when you get like a Jeremy Clarkson tweeting about 1519 01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:28,260 basically keep Piers Morgan. That hurts him. Because now now 1520 01:31:28,260 --> 01:31:30,210 that's cultural. You know, when you've got the whole his 1521 01:31:30,210 --> 01:31:35,310 homeland, people in his homeland laughing about him. I know. I 1522 01:31:35,310 --> 01:31:38,130 know these. I can smell it. I can smell it. Anyway. 1523 01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:40,530 Nice. Very funny. I 1524 01:31:40,530 --> 01:31:43,230 encourage it. I think we should continue with this. This is 1525 01:31:43,230 --> 01:31:44,190 very, very good. 1526 01:31:45,660 --> 01:31:46,860 So breaking news. 1527 01:31:46,950 --> 01:31:51,600 Oh, hold on a second. Breaking news, everybody.

And 1536 01:32:21,060 --> 01:32:23,940 I'm looking I'm looking I'm looking again doesn't say 1537 01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:25,950 no breaking news. Oh, interesting. 1538 01:32:27,060 --> 01:32:29,160 Yeah, we do breaking news on the show once in a while. 1539 01:32:29,490 --> 01:32:31,860 Yeah, by the time you hear it, it won't be so breaking but 1540 01:32:31,890 --> 01:32:33,420 okay. Well, 1541 01:32:33,450 --> 01:32:37,290 whatever. At least we're gonna be talking about it more next 1542 01:32:37,290 --> 01:32:39,300 year. Next year. She's out of the picture. 1543 01:32:39,330 --> 01:32:43,380 I have a whole bunch of Sandy Hook articles in the show notes 1544 01:32:43,380 --> 01:32:47,940 at 4713473 already. man Yeah. 1545 01:32:48,360 --> 01:32:54,000 473 100 show 500 That's right. 473 dot N A show started the 1546 01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:57,180 show. Nobody said we'd get the show. 200 And we did yeah. 1547 01:32:57,630 --> 01:33:04,650 473 dot n a show notes.com. And I this is there's a quick little 1548 01:33:04,650 --> 01:33:09,390 clip. And this is about the it was just such a weird story and 1549 01:33:09,390 --> 01:33:15,150 the way the clips the fire chief, the reports all brought 1550 01:33:15,150 --> 01:33:20,580 into I think more mind if, if I I'm just I have to remain true 1551 01:33:20,580 --> 01:33:23,790 to myself when I hear this report. I think, Man this whole 1552 01:33:23,790 --> 01:33:28,560 thing if there weren't. They claim to firefighters have been 1553 01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:33,870 killed, and I have a real soft spot for firefighters. I support 1554 01:33:33,870 --> 01:33:38,370 them. financially. I've known a lot of hung out with a lot of 1555 01:33:38,400 --> 01:33:42,270 them. I have deep deep respect for the crap that they go 1556 01:33:42,270 --> 01:33:45,210 through. But if you know so, you know they report that to have 1557 01:33:45,210 --> 01:33:49,920 been killed. And they made it really two guys may have been 1558 01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:53,340 killed but I'm not so sure the story holds up that these guys 1559 01:33:53,340 --> 01:33:57,690 were killed by some crazy crap. Just listen to the report and 1560 01:33:57,690 --> 01:34:00,240 all the things that are being pulled into it. It's very, very 1561 01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:03,960 disturbing to me. And it seems like we're just on this tear of 1562 01:34:03,990 --> 01:34:08,580 fake news reports where actual people die. Do you have the 1563 01:34:08,580 --> 01:34:11,910 right to know if your name crap I'm sorry, I played the wrong 1564 01:34:11,910 --> 01:34:15,480 freaking clip. Here it is. This one was spelled 1565 01:34:15,480 --> 01:34:18,090 out by the suspected arsonist and shooter in chilling 1566 01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:19,290 typewritten detail, 1567 01:34:19,379 --> 01:34:23,099 quote. I still have to get ready to see how much of the 1568 01:34:23,099 --> 01:34:27,839 neighborhood I can burn down and do what I like doing best 1569 01:34:27,839 --> 01:34:28,709 killing people. 1570 01:34:28,830 --> 01:34:30,990 Okay, so I just have to deselect this a little bit. So this is 1571 01:34:30,990 --> 01:34:34,980 the crazy guy who apparently started a fire and he left a 1572 01:34:34,980 --> 01:34:38,910 typewritten note which did not catch on fire from this huge 1573 01:34:38,910 --> 01:34:42,960 Blaze. I mean, they we have the video of some fire and it was a 1574 01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:46,920 typewritten note not a Facebook page or anything is 60 things 62 1575 01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:51,360 year old guys, so, you know not like terribly beyond my own age 1576 01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:55,110 range. And we have this note magically we have the note 1577 01:34:55,110 --> 01:34:57,930 because someone's reading it. I like to start fires so I can 1578 01:34:57,930 --> 01:34:58,860 kill people 1579 01:34:58,889 --> 01:35:02,009 authority say 60 two year old William Spangler, who served 1580 01:35:02,009 --> 01:35:04,679 prison time for killing his grandmother more than 30 years 1581 01:35:04,679 --> 01:35:05,009 ago, 1582 01:35:05,070 --> 01:35:08,310 though, of course, no way to verify any of this 30 years ago 1583 01:35:08,310 --> 01:35:11,490 he served some prison time for killing me. I mean, he may have 1584 01:35:11,610 --> 01:35:14,400 like, tripped and she tripped over and we don't know any 1585 01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:18,090 background on that 30 years ago, he killed his grandmother that's 1586 01:35:18,090 --> 01:35:18,900 the message shot 1587 01:35:18,900 --> 01:35:21,390 at first responders who arrived at his burning house 1588 01:35:21,480 --> 01:35:24,600 so we don't really know this but now listen to how they how it's 1589 01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:25,830 portrayed the fire 1590 01:35:25,830 --> 01:35:27,480 spreading to six other homes 1591 01:35:35,550 --> 01:35:39,030 so this is the firefighter on the radio saying multiple 1592 01:35:39,030 --> 01:35:44,760 firefighters shot I am shot. I think it's an assault rifle. I 1593 01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:48,750 just why would he say that? Again? You know, when people 1594 01:35:48,840 --> 01:35:51,990 when firefighters in the picture I get really I don't want to 1595 01:35:51,990 --> 01:35:55,350 like go crackpot on it. But that's bullshit. People don't 1596 01:35:55,350 --> 01:35:59,760 talk like that when you're shot. I am shot a tumor. My colleagues 1597 01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:02,010 are shot. I think it's an assault rifle 1598 01:36:02,040 --> 01:36:04,380 because equipped to go to war to kill innocent people. 1599 01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:07,680 Officials say the gunman was well fortified with weapons and 1600 01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:12,510 ammo, a 38 caliber handgun, 12 gauge shotgun and a Bushmaster 1601 01:36:12,510 --> 01:36:16,170 223 rifle. The same model used in the Newtown Connecticut 1602 01:36:16,170 --> 01:36:19,410 school shooting. Firefighters Tomas Pachuca and my chipper 1603 01:36:19,410 --> 01:36:23,130 Rini were killed two others are hospitalized. Spangler police 1604 01:36:23,130 --> 01:36:24,660 say killed himself and I'm a 1605 01:36:24,660 --> 01:36:28,200 little tired I'm a little tired of all these guys who go 1606 01:36:28,200 --> 01:36:32,490 shooting people killing themselves this really the the 1607 01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:37,170 what are the odds of this? What are the odds that of the past? 1608 01:36:38,610 --> 01:36:43,200 What now five shootings it then I gotta go kill myself. 1609 01:36:44,310 --> 01:36:47,940 gotta kill my Lee Harvey Oswald didn't kill himself and he shot 1610 01:36:47,940 --> 01:36:48,990 the president John 1611 01:36:48,990 --> 01:36:52,560 Wilkes Booth didn't kill himself. People just don't go. 1612 01:36:52,890 --> 01:36:56,670 It's always like, because of course the only thing I can then 1613 01:36:56,670 --> 01:37:01,680 think of as an alternative possibility is this is a setup 1614 01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:06,420 what we're hearing may not be real now. Some people may have 1615 01:37:06,420 --> 01:37:11,040 actually been killed. But then we just kill some Kook some some 1616 01:37:11,130 --> 01:37:14,310 some crazy guy. Oh, and let's type up this letter real quick 1617 01:37:14,310 --> 01:37:17,550 which didn't burn. And then we can just pin it all on the 1618 01:37:17,550 --> 01:37:18,360 Bushmaster. 1619 01:37:18,570 --> 01:37:21,360 And late today they revealed human remains were found in 1620 01:37:21,360 --> 01:37:24,270 sprinklers burned house and authority suspect they belong to 1621 01:37:24,270 --> 01:37:25,740 his missing sister and let's 1622 01:37:25,740 --> 01:37:28,740 just put up some extra stuff. I like this. This is this is like 1623 01:37:28,770 --> 01:37:32,040 the you know, they had an extra 20 seconds in the newscast. 1624 01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:34,800 Like, let's write some more crazy crap in there. motive is 1625 01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:38,340 always the burning question and I'm not sure we'll ever have 1626 01:37:39,060 --> 01:37:41,190 that we'll never really know what was going through his mind. 1627 01:37:41,250 --> 01:37:44,370 Police are investigating whether the death of sprinklers 91 year 1628 01:37:44,370 --> 01:37:47,220 old mother in October and donation she may have made to 1629 01:37:47,220 --> 01:37:50,190 the fire department could help explain the motive for her son's 1630 01:37:50,190 --> 01:37:51,330 Christmas Eve shootings. 1631 01:37:51,390 --> 01:37:55,620 I don't know what that means at the end there. I mean, but it's 1632 01:37:55,620 --> 01:38:00,120 obvious what what this is meant to portray is a assault rifle, 1633 01:38:00,150 --> 01:38:05,670 Bushmaster, crazy guy, kill people. This is just what it is. 1634 01:38:05,700 --> 01:38:10,890 And you know, it's an assault. It's again, it's just an assault 1635 01:38:10,890 --> 01:38:13,260 on people. And it may not have been any of those. We don't know 1636 01:38:13,290 --> 01:38:15,330 anything about what really happened. 1637 01:38:18,360 --> 01:38:21,150 I think it's weird that there would be another Bushmaster. 1638 01:38:22,290 --> 01:38:25,410 Now, Eric had an interesting little comment. We were talking 1639 01:38:25,410 --> 01:38:30,600 the other day. They have changed the Milos 1640 01:38:30,660 --> 01:38:33,690 Oh, don't go into it. Please don't take me into Sandy Hook. 1641 01:38:33,690 --> 01:38:34,200 Really? 1642 01:38:35,070 --> 01:38:36,630 No, Sandy Hook got to do. 1643 01:38:37,440 --> 01:38:39,900 Because you thought you're gonna say they've changed the story so 1644 01:38:39,900 --> 01:38:41,070 many times. I'm sorry. No, 1645 01:38:41,070 --> 01:38:48,060 no good if changed the milspec on the on the AR 15 with some 1646 01:38:48,060 --> 01:38:53,340 new new mechanism, and these gun companies have got to get rid of 1647 01:38:53,340 --> 01:38:57,360 all these old guns. So they're going to try to just move them 1648 01:38:57,360 --> 01:38:59,940 out as best they can. Because the no one's going to buy them 1649 01:38:59,940 --> 01:39:01,890 once they figure out what's going on with the with the 1650 01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:02,730 mechanism. 1651 01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:05,520 Oh, something wrong with the mechanism. But I don't know. 1652 01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:05,610 It's 1653 01:39:05,610 --> 01:39:08,580 just old fashioned. And it does the things that it does just not 1654 01:39:08,670 --> 01:39:11,130 it's not there apparently is something new invention. It's 1655 01:39:11,130 --> 01:39:14,610 like the new the new spec is really cool. And that's the one 1656 01:39:14,610 --> 01:39:18,540 you want are really interesting. And so Bushmaster Bushmaster 1657 01:39:18,540 --> 01:39:22,020 Bushmaster. You know, even though it's a neg is placed in a 1658 01:39:22,020 --> 01:39:27,750 negative light. It is a sales pitch. I mean, it's publicity 1659 01:39:27,750 --> 01:39:31,080 for these guys. Yes. Really. Every time they have one of 1660 01:39:31,080 --> 01:39:34,050 these deals, people go out and buy guns. I mean, it's like guns 1661 01:39:34,050 --> 01:39:37,890 go sales go crazy during these episodes every time. In fact, I 1662 01:39:37,890 --> 01:39:40,020 think Horowitz was talking about this. 1663 01:39:40,050 --> 01:39:43,290 Every time there's a shooting the sales go up. 1664 01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:46,500 Yeah, every time there's a shooting, especially a nasty one 1665 01:39:46,500 --> 01:39:52,080 like these purport to be sales go up and this is a way and just 1666 01:39:52,080 --> 01:39:55,470 as a crackpot concept you'd want to think about it. This is the 1667 01:39:55,470 --> 01:39:59,430 way to get rid of inventory of the of the best of the 1668 01:39:59,430 --> 01:40:02,190 Bushmaster They're just not gonna they're not gonna they're 1669 01:40:02,190 --> 01:40:04,140 gonna be languishing, they gotta get rid of them. 1670 01:40:05,220 --> 01:40:08,970 So it's just a it's just a way to get rid of excess inventory. 1671 01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:12,150 I mean, why is the guy shooting a Bushmaster? Why is it always 1672 01:40:12,150 --> 01:40:14,700 is where they mentioned the brand name, it doesn't make any 1673 01:40:14,700 --> 01:40:18,810 sense to me. Why don't they call it as an AR 15 which is 1674 01:40:18,810 --> 01:40:22,080 essentially what it is. I'll just just call it that call it 1675 01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:27,030 the type of gun not the brand name. The reason why is because 1676 01:40:27,030 --> 01:40:29,340 I couldn't do what do you ever say is a nine millimeter? So 1677 01:40:29,340 --> 01:40:31,770 yeah, they will say Glock once in a while because it sounds 1678 01:40:31,770 --> 01:40:36,000 cool. But generally speaking that 90% a nine millimeter is 1679 01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:38,550 out there on Glocks. Well, what's the point of putting the 1680 01:40:38,550 --> 01:40:40,620 brand name in there? Well, because 1681 01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:42,240 every we got to sell something. 1682 01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:45,150 Well, they're selling these guns to get rid of them. That's 1683 01:40:45,180 --> 01:40:46,860 that's the thesis. What's the point 1684 01:40:46,860 --> 01:40:50,760 of having news if you can't sell something? I mean, really, if 1685 01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:53,310 you work for the courage of or consulting group or what? 1686 01:40:55,710 --> 01:40:59,850 Well, exactly. I'm going to show my school by donation to no 1687 01:40:59,850 --> 01:41:02,880 agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, 1688 01:41:02,880 --> 01:41:03,600 that'd be fun. 1689 01:41:07,230 --> 01:41:08,910 sell something with the news. 1690 01:41:11,100 --> 01:41:13,650 And by the way, I'm not I promised not to talk about Sandy 1691 01:41:13,650 --> 01:41:15,630 Hook so you shouldn't have ever been assumed I was gonna go 1692 01:41:15,630 --> 01:41:15,990 there. It was 1693 01:41:15,990 --> 01:41:19,920 my mistake. I apologize for even doubting you for a second. I'm 1694 01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:20,580 very sorry. 1695 01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:25,350 We have some people to thank, including Sven and middle coupe, 1696 01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:32,850 middle co Delft Gao Delft, how Yes. 1697 01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:40,260 Here's my not so random number donation from $181.72.

What's the business model? 1917 01:56:38,910 --> 01:56:43,620 A business model that ended in the late 90s. 1918 01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:48,780 I had this had this exact conversation. I said, Well, you 1919 01:56:48,780 --> 01:56:52,890 know, the people support us. And, you know, that helps us get 1920 01:56:52,890 --> 01:56:55,500 by, and we all kind of it's kind of a socialist thing when you 1921 01:56:55,500 --> 01:56:58,470 think about it, but we're all getting by. And also that's your 1922 01:56:58,470 --> 01:57:01,830 business model. It's not it's not a business model. It's not, 1923 01:57:02,250 --> 01:57:06,570 it's magic. Now, it's a business model. It's not it's not a 1924 01:57:06,570 --> 01:57:10,260 business model. You can't put if you went to a bank and said, 1925 01:57:10,260 --> 01:57:13,710 Here's my business model, I'm going to do a show.

You know what the bank 1931 01:57:32,370 --> 01:57:35,910 would say? That's not a business model. Get the hell out of my 1932 01:57:35,910 --> 01:57:44,010 office.

So this is aeons wife, 1960 01:59:09,630 --> 01:59:12,600 who said this is your business model but they are expats. They 1961 01:59:12,600 --> 01:59:18,480 live in Singapore and he works for one of the few turns out but 1962 01:59:18,480 --> 01:59:24,600 for a Dutch oil and chemical storage company vo Pak Victor 1963 01:59:24,600 --> 01:59:29,250 Oscar papa alpha Charlie. And so he's a pretty big muckety muck 1964 01:59:29,250 --> 01:59:32,010 there. And they're in Singapore. And what they do is they 1965 01:59:32,010 --> 01:59:37,500 literally store oil and sometimes chemicals for 1966 01:59:38,280 --> 01:59:43,080 national, you know, for national companies, for governments, for 1967 01:59:43,080 --> 01:59:46,260 traders, whatever he says, you know, literally I run a hotel 1968 01:59:46,260 --> 01:59:46,980 for oil. 1969 01:59:47,460 --> 01:59:49,380 And yeah, these are all over the world. 1970 01:59:49,410 --> 01:59:55,830 Right? So very, very interesting guy because this whole thing, 1971 01:59:55,980 --> 01:59:58,200 remember, this is the family where the troll story was read 1972 01:59:58,200 --> 02:00:01,410 right? So we're all crying about the troll All. And then I'm 1973 02:00:01,410 --> 02:00:03,630 talking this guy said, you know, so what are you doing? And he's 1974 02:00:03,630 --> 02:00:05,970 telling me Well, that's it. Oh, that's interesting because you 1975 02:00:05,970 --> 02:00:09,000 know, I'm really into the pipelines and I study this. And 1976 02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:11,550 I started laying a little bit of pipe on him. And he's like, Oh, 1977 02:00:11,550 --> 02:00:13,920 my God, you actually understand what's going on in the world and 1978 02:00:13,920 --> 02:00:17,700 say, Yeah, I do. And then he started telling me something, 1979 02:00:17,730 --> 02:00:20,220 you know, give me the dirt man, what's going on in the world of 1980 02:00:20,250 --> 02:00:24,000 oil. So here's what here's just a few of the things he told me. 1981 02:00:24,450 --> 02:00:27,330 I just want to pass it on, we can do with it what we want. So 1982 02:00:27,330 --> 02:00:30,990 first of all, turns out so you know, they are the hotel, they 1983 02:00:30,990 --> 02:00:33,390 ship the or the oil comes in, and they ship it off. And of 1984 02:00:33,390 --> 02:00:37,470 course, most of this oil has been going to China. Because 1985 02:00:37,470 --> 02:00:40,500 China needs all the oil to make all the crap that we then buy. 1986 02:00:40,620 --> 02:00:46,860 He says, big slowdown, big, big slowdown. Oil is now moving away 1987 02:00:46,860 --> 02:00:51,450 from China going to Indonesia. And suddenly Indonesia, he says, 1988 02:00:51,450 --> 02:00:54,780 yeah, now Indonesia, is going to be the new production center. 1989 02:00:55,230 --> 02:00:58,770 And he says, interestingly enough, there's a lot of Muslims 1990 02:00:58,770 --> 02:01:02,550 there a lot of the the Shia Sharia stuff going on. And I say 1991 02:01:02,550 --> 02:01:05,610 as a joke, I say, Oh, that's great. So now we have a reason 1992 02:01:05,610 --> 02:01:09,090 to go drone them. So we can take over the production and run the 1993 02:01:09,090 --> 02:01:11,820 show there. And he laughed, and he said, Yep, you wait, that's 1994 02:01:11,820 --> 02:01:16,140 exactly what's going to happen. So Redbook drones in Indonesia. 1995 02:01:16,740 --> 02:01:21,030 And in fact, there's already a news report in today about some 1996 02:01:21,030 --> 02:01:24,600 clash with Shias and Sunnis, and there's gonna be all kinds of 1997 02:01:24,600 --> 02:01:27,810 terrorists in Indonesia, I guarantee it, you can just you 1998 02:01:27,810 --> 02:01:32,490 can just wait for it. So that was one. Then I'm saying, Well, 1999 02:01:32,610 --> 02:01:35,280 tell me about Japan and what's going on there and you know, 2000 02:01:35,280 --> 02:01:37,680 what's with the, with the natural gas now that they shut 2001 02:01:37,680 --> 02:01:42,330 down the shutdown the nuclear plants, he says, he says, it's 2002 02:01:42,330 --> 02:01:45,930 all oil, still going to Japan, it's going to be two more years 2003 02:01:45,930 --> 02:01:48,900 until Japan is really ready to open up their gas turbines. And 2004 02:01:48,900 --> 02:01:52,410 that's when he predicts the price of gas will go up enough, 2005 02:01:52,650 --> 02:01:57,630 you know, so that it actually is profitable to to get this stuff 2006 02:01:57,630 --> 02:02:01,410 out of the ground. So two more years away from the real gas 2007 02:02:01,410 --> 02:02:04,230 price rise that you and I have been talking about. And then 2008 02:02:04,230 --> 02:02:08,610 finally, the natural gas natural gas. Yes. And I thought this was 2009 02:02:08,640 --> 02:02:12,330 this was kind of the funniest. He says, you know, so 2010 02:02:12,330 --> 02:02:14,370 we're talking about it, stay in touch with this, you know, this 2011 02:02:14,370 --> 02:02:18,480 guy is great. He's he's already sent me videos to watch and a 2012 02:02:18,480 --> 02:02:22,050 book tour. He says the book to read is monsoon. I've never 2013 02:02:22,050 --> 02:02:24,960 heard of this book. So I got to find this book. And he sent me 2014 02:02:24,960 --> 02:02:27,840 videos, which I'll be posting in the show notes. The guy is fent. 2015 02:02:27,900 --> 02:02:31,890 And he was tripping out because, you know, he never expected 2016 02:02:32,040 --> 02:02:36,450 there to be a guy, you know, let alone some disc jockey, who was 2017 02:02:36,450 --> 02:02:39,120 you know, at this trolled Christmas dinner, who's like, 2018 02:02:39,150 --> 02:02:41,610 totally gets what it is. And he's like, Oh my God, it's just 2019 02:02:41,610 --> 02:02:44,550 so nice to talk to someone who understands how the world 2020 02:02:44,550 --> 02:02:47,730 actually runs. And then I lay my, my God thing on him, like 2021 02:02:47,730 --> 02:02:50,430 the world runs on, you know, gold oil and drugs, and he's 2022 02:02:50,430 --> 02:02:53,160 laughing and he's like, Oh, this is so great. You've got to come 2023 02:02:53,160 --> 02:02:58,920 visit. Anyway, so he then lays in to me about Iran, Iran. And 2024 02:02:58,950 --> 02:03:00,870 you know, I'm laughing I'm like, Ah, you know, it's so funny in 2025 02:03:00,870 --> 02:03:03,510 America where they show you know, the show these guys with 2026 02:03:03,510 --> 02:03:06,120 white lab coats on and they're in the centrifuges and they're 2027 02:03:06,120 --> 02:03:09,510 making bombs. They're gonna kill Israel. And Bibi Netanyahu was 2028 02:03:09,510 --> 02:03:12,330 showing the picture of the ticking the bomb with the fuse 2029 02:03:12,330 --> 02:03:15,840 lit and we're all afraid of their radians. And he's laughing 2030 02:03:15,840 --> 02:03:18,510 says Ya know, it's crazy that embargo he said, What a bunch of 2031 02:03:18,510 --> 02:03:21,630 crap that is, like what you can't tell me you can't have 2032 02:03:21,660 --> 02:03:26,280 Iranian oil. He says no the oil the oil exports sure, you know, 2033 02:03:26,280 --> 02:03:28,830 they've they've slowed that down he said, but that's not the main 2034 02:03:28,830 --> 02:03:33,540 thing that Iran exports it's NAFTA. He says that's the stuff 2035 02:03:33,750 --> 02:03:38,310 that they're making the real money off of NAFTA na P HTA. The 2036 02:03:38,310 --> 02:03:42,240 NAFTA oil because he said if we if they shut off the NAFTA 2037 02:03:42,240 --> 02:03:46,650 exports you wouldn't have trash bags within a week if I love 2038 02:03:46,950 --> 02:03:51,120 because you only have one a week trash bags NAFTA oil is what 2039 02:03:51,120 --> 02:03:55,200 they make naphthalene from and that's what all the petroleum 2040 02:03:55,200 --> 02:03:58,980 products are made from that it's I guess it's a really sulfur 2041 02:03:58,980 --> 02:04:01,530 rich or you know, some version of that it's not it's not 2042 02:04:01,530 --> 02:04:05,640 necessarily appropriate for burning in your car or being 2043 02:04:05,640 --> 02:04:09,690 refined into into petrol. I thought for sure you would know 2044 02:04:09,690 --> 02:04:11,640 about NAFTA oil and IP Yeah, 2045 02:04:11,640 --> 02:04:16,890 it was never it's not called Napthine oil nafas just Napa 2046 02:04:17,070 --> 02:04:21,660 NAFTA and it's been around forever it's a just a liquid goo 2047 02:04:21,750 --> 02:04:23,280 that comes out of a refinery 2048 02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:28,890 well he says that that that there's no export restrictions 2049 02:04:28,890 --> 02:04:31,320 on that and that's really what they're making the money on. He 2050 02:04:31,320 --> 02:04:34,800 says they would never restrict that because then you know, the 2051 02:04:34,800 --> 02:04:37,410 whole world production of everything made for petroleum 2052 02:04:37,410 --> 02:04:40,110 would just have to shut down and that that's really the stuff 2053 02:04:40,110 --> 02:04:42,840 that's important. I thought that you you probably 2054 02:04:42,870 --> 02:04:46,260 sounds like me. Sounds to me like they're just this is like a 2055 02:04:46,260 --> 02:04:51,270 bogus thing then because Napa is finally go look at a lovely look 2056 02:04:51,270 --> 02:04:53,640 at the book of knowledge. Hit the button. 2057 02:04:54,930 --> 02:05:03,120 Oh, I hit the button, but it didn't go Oh no. yeah right this 2058 02:05:03,120 --> 02:05:04,050 is what he said 2059 02:05:04,080 --> 02:05:08,970 typically consists of 15 to 30% crude oil, which is oil. Light 2060 02:05:08,970 --> 02:05:13,140 nap is the fraction of boiling This is boiled oil, heavy nap 2061 02:05:13,140 --> 02:05:16,470 that boils blah blah blah Nath is used primarily as a feedstock 2062 02:05:16,470 --> 02:05:20,850 for producing high octane gasoline might be a cat forming, 2063 02:05:20,880 --> 02:05:24,120 and it's using the bitumen mining and she's a doula yet. So 2064 02:05:24,120 --> 02:05:28,620 what I know about it produces olefins and steam crackers, 2065 02:05:28,620 --> 02:05:31,920 which means that poly poly Alpha olefin comes from this stuff, 2066 02:05:31,920 --> 02:05:33,720 which is the stuff using synthetic. So 2067 02:05:33,720 --> 02:05:35,940 let me read to you from the Federal Register. Maybe this 2068 02:05:35,940 --> 02:05:39,390 will help. This is the Federal Register Wednesday, December 2069 02:05:39,390 --> 02:05:45,210 26 2012 2205. By the authority vested in me as President United 2070 02:05:45,210 --> 02:05:50,730 States Constitution, blahdy blahdy, blah, Barack Obama, I 2071 02:05:50,730 --> 02:05:54,360 determined pursuant to section 1245 D of the National Defense 2072 02:05:54,360 --> 02:05:56,880 Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, public blah, blah, 2073 02:05:56,880 --> 02:06:01,080 blah, there is sufficient supply of petroleum and petroleum 2074 02:06:01,080 --> 02:06:04,680 products from countries other than Iran to permit a 2075 02:06:04,680 --> 02:06:07,530 significant reduction in the volume of petroleum and 2076 02:06:07,530 --> 02:06:11,280 petroleum products purchased from Iran by or through other 2077 02:06:11,280 --> 02:06:17,070 foreign financial institutions. So they are the it's tricky 2078 02:06:17,070 --> 02:06:20,070 language. And I think words do matter, that they're talking 2079 02:06:20,070 --> 02:06:22,830 about petroleum products. I think that this is a pre 2080 02:06:22,830 --> 02:06:26,700 petroleum product, that NAFTA is not really the petroleum 2081 02:06:26,700 --> 02:06:28,200 product, and therefore will 2082 02:06:28,200 --> 02:06:32,250 actually what's interesting to me, based on what he says it, 2083 02:06:32,280 --> 02:06:35,880 yeah, it would be a pre petroleum product, which is an 2084 02:06:35,880 --> 02:06:42,120 end product, and a post crude oil product is in between crude 2085 02:06:42,150 --> 02:06:45,150 oil and a finished product. So it's the stuff that you get from 2086 02:06:45,150 --> 02:06:48,030 crude oil and it's a feedstock for making high octane gasoline. 2087 02:06:48,030 --> 02:06:50,970 So it's, essentially you boil some oil and you send this stuff 2088 02:06:50,970 --> 02:06:55,230 off on its way, right. So it's essentially what they've done 2089 02:06:55,230 --> 02:06:58,680 here. This is the other words we've been tricked, hoodwinked, 2090 02:06:58,710 --> 02:07:01,080 I tell you we've been hoodwinked. That's the word. 2091 02:07:01,680 --> 02:07:05,370 We've been hoodwinked by the use of the law. No nap. This is 2092 02:07:05,370 --> 02:07:07,320 different. Yeah, no, it's not. Yeah. 2093 02:07:08,520 --> 02:07:09,030 So he 2094 02:07:09,030 --> 02:07:10,650 literally threw Is that what he said? 2095 02:07:10,650 --> 02:07:13,860 Yeah, he said, there's no restriction on NAFTA. He says, 2096 02:07:13,890 --> 02:07:17,550 and I'm like bullshit. Now at this is amazing. When he said to 2097 02:07:17,550 --> 02:07:19,680 me, this is this is why it's stuck in my brain because he was 2098 02:07:19,680 --> 02:07:22,290 talking NAFTA. I'm like North American Free Trade Association. 2099 02:07:22,290 --> 02:07:25,890 He's like, No, p h, NAFTA. And I'd never heard of NAFTA, like 2100 02:07:25,890 --> 02:07:28,440 NAFTA, NAFTA, as he says, there's no restriction. We're 2101 02:07:28,440 --> 02:07:31,380 shipping the stuff in and out from Iran all the time, because 2102 02:07:31,380 --> 02:07:35,460 there's no restriction on the NAFTA. It's a scam. It's a big 2103 02:07:35,460 --> 02:07:36,390 lie. 2104 02:07:39,450 --> 02:07:45,210 Wow, yeah. Good, huh. Yeah, that's a 10. Oh, you only have a 2105 02:07:45,210 --> 02:07:47,760 clip. Unfortunately. Can't give you a clip of the week. But no, 2106 02:07:47,790 --> 02:07:51,840 wow. Interesting, though, right? Yeah, it's just unbelievable. 2107 02:07:51,959 --> 02:07:57,059 So yeah, I'm keeping in touch with the guy, for sure. And so 2108 02:07:57,059 --> 02:08:01,499 he sent me well, I'll put it in the show notes. The book that he 2109 02:08:01,499 --> 02:08:04,379 said I had to read. But it was just cool. You know, it's like, 2110 02:08:04,409 --> 02:08:07,199 oh, it's so nice to have can you know, I'm just laying all of my 2111 02:08:07,409 --> 02:08:11,789 South Stream North Stream, you know, all my pipeline stuff on 2112 02:08:11,789 --> 02:08:11,849 it. 2113 02:08:12,030 --> 02:08:15,660 Nobody else knows that he ever runs across. Never, 2114 02:08:15,719 --> 02:08:19,289 ever, ever, ever. You know, his wife is talking about 2115 02:08:19,290 --> 02:08:21,900 rights violation. human rights violations. 2116 02:08:23,910 --> 02:08:27,450 Damn Iranians. Yeah, they got white coats on there cooking up 2117 02:08:27,480 --> 02:08:31,530 cooking up bombs are gonna make a bomb now. Now I gotta tell you 2118 02:08:31,530 --> 02:08:34,350 a funny story. My dad told me because my dad is in Holland. 2119 02:08:34,350 --> 02:08:38,790 And I went to visit him yesterday. And he's in the home 2120 02:08:38,790 --> 02:08:43,350 and now he's a little messed up my old man. Now, you know that 2121 02:08:43,350 --> 02:08:47,340 we lived in Uganda the first three years of my life. Yeah. 2122 02:08:48,150 --> 02:08:52,230 And so you know, the old man is getting old. And so he's talking 2123 02:08:52,230 --> 02:08:57,600 and my sisters there. And he will know Tiffany, willows in. 2124 02:08:58,350 --> 02:09:01,830 In Italy. Tiffany lives here. And he lays this outrageous 2125 02:09:01,830 --> 02:09:04,740 story on us. And it took me a while to get it out of him 2126 02:09:04,740 --> 02:09:07,410 straight. Because the way he had came out of like, wow, that's 2127 02:09:07,410 --> 02:09:12,720 really crazy. So when we apparently moved to Uganda for a 2128 02:09:12,720 --> 02:09:16,920 few years before Idi Amin in so I was born in 64. So I think 2129 02:09:16,920 --> 02:09:22,290 6465 And we got there. And we flew on one of the first de 2130 02:09:22,290 --> 02:09:26,100 Havilland Comet airplanes. This is one of the one of the first 2131 02:09:26,100 --> 02:09:31,410 German Yeah, one of the first jets and we flew from London. I 2132 02:09:31,410 --> 02:09:34,200 guess we somehow he went to, we got to London somehow. And then 2133 02:09:34,200 --> 02:09:38,520 we flew from London, to Uganda. But we had a stopover. Guess 2134 02:09:38,520 --> 02:09:39,720 where we stopped over. 2135 02:09:41,040 --> 02:09:42,870 Somewhere in the middle east would be my guess. 2136 02:09:42,900 --> 02:09:48,750 Benghazi. Oh, yeah. This is what I say. Cool. And then he tells 2137 02:09:48,750 --> 02:09:53,850 me the story that it was really weird because the guy this is 2138 02:09:54,000 --> 02:09:57,570 this was like a year or two before the revolution before 2139 02:09:57,570 --> 02:10:03,540 Gadhafi. So it was King Oh, who was who was a dairy or 2140 02:10:03,540 --> 02:10:07,080 something? I guess? I don't know. So so it was, you know, so 2141 02:10:07,080 --> 02:10:11,370 they have the stop in Benghazi until I was in Benghazi was like 2142 02:10:11,370 --> 02:10:15,150 one year old. But what had happened is, because it was a 2143 02:10:15,150 --> 02:10:18,360 coincidence, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, because this 2144 02:10:18,360 --> 02:10:22,560 was this brand new plane. And you know, there wasn't full, the 2145 02:10:22,560 --> 02:10:25,680 passengers had to spread out in the plane for the weight and 2146 02:10:25,680 --> 02:10:30,210 balance. This is so brother, right? So, so even my parents, I 2147 02:10:30,210 --> 02:10:32,430 guess, were split up and you know, they had put me and you 2148 02:10:32,430 --> 02:10:36,720 know, in my little, my little, carry on crib, whatever, with 2149 02:10:36,720 --> 02:10:40,500 the blankets. And so they have to stop and Benghazi to refuel. 2150 02:10:40,800 --> 02:10:44,940 And it's really weird. And you know, guys with AKs, I guess it 2151 02:10:44,940 --> 02:10:48,300 was an AK back in the day, ak 40, sevens and the refueling to 2152 02:10:48,300 --> 02:10:51,630 get back on the plane, the plane takes off, and they just like 2153 02:10:51,630 --> 02:10:56,910 glance back and saw the pile of blankets than the planes in the 2154 02:10:56,910 --> 02:11:00,780 air. And then my mom goes, you know, back to check on me. I'm 2155 02:11:00,780 --> 02:11:05,220 not in I'm not underneath the blankets. And they have this and 2156 02:11:05,220 --> 02:11:08,010 so they believe that I've been kidnapped. And I'm still in 2157 02:11:08,010 --> 02:11:13,320 Benghazi. This is crazy. This is a crazy story. You will 2158 02:11:13,320 --> 02:11:16,800 apparently so they had just walked off the plane. You know 2159 02:11:16,860 --> 02:11:20,400 what, during refueling left me on the plane, which is pretty 2160 02:11:20,400 --> 02:11:24,060 unbelievable. As is Thanks, Mom and Dad. And I had gotten 2161 02:11:24,090 --> 02:11:27,180 climbed out and I had crawled all the way back to the back of 2162 02:11:27,180 --> 02:11:31,320 the plane underneath all the seats. So they spent like a half 2163 02:11:31,320 --> 02:11:34,560 hour thinking, trying to convince the guy to fly back to 2164 02:11:34,560 --> 02:11:39,480 Benghazi, to go get me. I had no idea. I just, you know, like 2165 02:11:39,480 --> 02:11:42,630 Stewie, or something. I had, like, you know, my hands and 2166 02:11:42,630 --> 02:11:44,760 knees crawled all the way to the back. Anyway, I thought it was 2167 02:11:44,760 --> 02:11:47,520 kind of a funny story, because it was Benghazi. I thought it 2168 02:11:47,520 --> 02:11:50,100 was kind of an interesting little, little Christmas story. 2169 02:11:50,580 --> 02:11:53,970 Yeah, little Christmas story about Benghazi now. So while I'm 2170 02:11:53,970 --> 02:11:57,630 on connections to Benghazi to go way back. So while I'm 2171 02:11:57,630 --> 02:12:02,280 on Benghazi, remember the four State Department officials 2172 02:12:02,460 --> 02:12:07,770 resigned or were kicked out or whatever? Because of the report, 2173 02:12:07,770 --> 02:12:11,790 the account Accountability Review Board Report. Well, here 2174 02:12:11,790 --> 02:12:15,870 we go. The highest ranking official caught up in the 2175 02:12:15,870 --> 02:12:20,340 scandal Assistant Secretary of State Eric Boswell hasn't 2176 02:12:20,340 --> 02:12:24,930 actually resigned. No, he's he's just resigned from one of his 2177 02:12:24,930 --> 02:12:29,370 many tasks. See, they made it sound like he he's resigned 2178 02:12:29,370 --> 02:12:34,080 voluntarily. But the only thing he's done is he's he's just quit 2179 02:12:34,080 --> 02:12:37,680 from one one desk. And he's switching over to another desk. 2180 02:12:38,010 --> 02:12:41,700 And the three other officials, Deputy Assistant Secretaries, 2181 02:12:41,940 --> 02:12:45,840 Charlene Lam, Raymond Maxwell, and a third whose name we don't 2182 02:12:45,840 --> 02:12:49,560 have that they haven't been kicked out. They've just been 2183 02:12:49,560 --> 02:12:53,850 reassigned. So they make it all sound like oh, people have been 2184 02:12:53,850 --> 02:12:57,630 held accountable. But no one's actually fired. And no one quit. 2185 02:13:00,540 --> 02:13:02,040 Ah, what a shocker. 2186 02:13:02,820 --> 02:13:06,360 And I have a little prediction for you. You got the Red Book? 2187 02:13:07,530 --> 02:13:13,650 Yep. So Hillary is now out for a couple of weeks. And I don't 2188 02:13:13,650 --> 02:13:16,680 even know if she'll ever testify about Benghazi. But here's what 2189 02:13:16,680 --> 02:13:20,370 we need to look out for. When she comes back, and I predict 2190 02:13:20,370 --> 02:13:23,310 six more weeks because I have experience with this. six more 2191 02:13:23,310 --> 02:13:25,560 weeks. She's gonna look dynamite. 2192 02:13:27,480 --> 02:13:29,880 Oh, you think she's getting plastic surgery? 2193 02:13:29,940 --> 02:13:35,400 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Perfect. Time to do it. Get a little nip 2194 02:13:35,400 --> 02:13:38,220 get a little tuck. Get your hair done. 2195 02:13:38,280 --> 02:13:41,340 Oh, yeah. Right. And you gotta be out when you get plastic 2196 02:13:41,340 --> 02:13:44,580 surgery, especially at her age. And you're gonna have massive 2197 02:13:44,580 --> 02:13:46,830 plastic surgery because she looks terrible. If you see her 2198 02:13:46,830 --> 02:13:48,930 without her make well, she doesn't need mass you gotta run 2199 02:13:48,930 --> 02:13:49,590 for president. 2200 02:13:49,620 --> 02:13:52,020 She doesn't even matter. She needs a little work around the 2201 02:13:52,020 --> 02:13:53,280 eyes. A little working eyelid 2202 02:13:53,280 --> 02:13:54,630 gonna get massive but you 2203 02:13:55,169 --> 02:13:58,469 know, 10 weeks would be more than enough. So I'd say she's 2204 02:13:58,469 --> 02:14:01,529 been out for for give her six more. She's back at the 2205 02:14:01,529 --> 02:14:05,219 inauguration. Once the inauguration 2206 02:14:05,759 --> 02:14:08,519 coming up in a couple of weeks. She's gotta be back sooner than 2207 02:14:08,519 --> 02:14:09,239 that. And she's 2208 02:14:09,240 --> 02:14:12,510 got it. Well, she could she could make she may not be at the 2209 02:14:12,510 --> 02:14:14,970 inauguration. I think it's too early. 2210 02:14:16,470 --> 02:14:19,410 Yeah, unless she's gonna wear sunglasses and bundle up 2211 02:14:19,440 --> 02:14:24,150 oh yeah. Scarf on the head and sunglasses. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, 2212 02:14:24,180 --> 02:14:26,580 that could that could be a possibility. I think a 2213 02:14:26,970 --> 02:14:31,470 lot of makeup spray on the spray on making this spread. Just 2214 02:14:31,470 --> 02:14:32,040 sprayer 2215 02:14:37,410 --> 02:14:40,920 Oh, yes.

I like soap nuts 2304 02:20:23,250 --> 02:20:27,450 did Dr. Oz really say that? Yeah. He said I like soaked 2305 02:20:27,450 --> 02:20:32,370 nuts. After six. Okay, the guy just went up 10 points in my 2306 02:20:32,370 --> 02:20:38,730 book. soaked nuts. Nuts. Really? And this was on broadcast 2307 02:20:38,730 --> 02:20:47,850 television. Yes. Wow. Wow, that's hardcore 2308 02:20:50,310 --> 02:20:51,780 soaked nuts. 2309 02:20:51,840 --> 02:20:56,010 So I have I have a pet peeve. And I first I want to tell you 2310 02:20:56,010 --> 02:21:00,780 what kind of sparked it. And then I'll play the so this is 2311 02:21:00,780 --> 02:21:03,210 this is what what sparked the pet peeve. You know, we have 2312 02:21:03,210 --> 02:21:08,790 this private space industry that is being built around us. And 2313 02:21:08,820 --> 02:21:11,910 some of it is real. And you know, whatever. It's, it's, you 2314 02:21:11,910 --> 02:21:15,930 know, to me, it's like, I used to be into model rocketry. And 2315 02:21:15,930 --> 02:21:19,050 these these guys just have bigger rockets. So this is, this 2316 02:21:19,050 --> 02:21:23,160 is the I guess it's real. I don't know. I mean, it could 2317 02:21:23,160 --> 02:21:25,140 this could be an animation for all I know. 2318 02:21:25,770 --> 02:21:29,910 The private rocket rocket makers SpaceX says it has successfully 2319 02:21:29,910 --> 02:21:33,960 tested the first completely reusable rocket. Take a look at 2320 02:21:33,960 --> 02:21:37,350 this newly released video, it shows the grasshopper rocket 2321 02:21:37,350 --> 02:21:41,880 launching 12 stories into the air. Then it hovers briefly, 2322 02:21:42,150 --> 02:21:46,170 before reversing direction and landing softly on the launch 2323 02:21:46,170 --> 02:21:50,010 pad. And reusable rocket could lower costs for space missions 2324 02:21:50,010 --> 02:21:52,680 significantly. But more testing is needed. 2325 02:21:52,980 --> 02:21:57,210 I mean, you know, I look at this and like, who cares? So now 2326 02:21:57,210 --> 02:22:00,780 we're gonna have a lot of ways the rocket can land on its feet. 2327 02:22:01,200 --> 02:22:02,160 But so but this 2328 02:22:02,160 --> 02:22:05,850 is 12 storeys up, it goes it goes up. What, not 100 feet. 2329 02:22:05,850 --> 02:22:07,860 Yeah, and then throw a rock that far. 2330 02:22:07,950 --> 02:22:11,280 Well, it hovers and then it comes back down and I'm like, 2331 02:22:11,310 --> 02:22:14,460 Okay, I guess that's, I guess that's gonna save money. I don't 2332 02:22:14,460 --> 02:22:17,400 know. I mean, they're gonna schlep all that fuel through 2333 02:22:17,400 --> 02:22:20,700 space. And to me, it's like, this is just a story for 2334 02:22:20,700 --> 02:22:23,880 investors or something. I don't know. You know, and, and by the 2335 02:22:23,880 --> 02:22:27,480 way, people who are really in the technology hate me when I 2336 02:22:27,480 --> 02:22:29,460 talk about this stuff. I'm saying, you know, because you 2337 02:22:29,460 --> 02:22:32,940 know, Elon Musk is like some hero. He's like, the Tom Swift 2338 02:22:32,940 --> 02:22:36,510 or our era, you know, I don't know, he makes expensive battery 2339 02:22:36,510 --> 02:22:39,840 cars that you know, are useless as far as I'm concerned. 2340 02:22:40,350 --> 02:22:44,130 Certainly in the apocalypse has got the space thing and he's 2341 02:22:44,130 --> 02:22:47,400 like a superhero. People love this guy. And I just think he's 2342 02:22:47,400 --> 02:22:52,080 a douchey twat. So we have one of these over here is a what a 2343 02:22:52,080 --> 02:22:56,430 douchey twat like soapnuts a douchey tot. So we have one of 2344 02:22:56,430 --> 02:23:00,690 these douchebags over here, his name is meitheal Mole. And he 2345 02:23:00,720 --> 02:23:04,350 his daddy got really, really rich by selling off, you know, 2346 02:23:04,350 --> 02:23:08,910 some Bogut of it from I don't know 10 years ago made a huge 2347 02:23:09,450 --> 02:23:12,390 before the bubble pop made a huge amount of money. Big, big 2348 02:23:12,390 --> 02:23:15,900 government contracts, billionaire. And so this is his 2349 02:23:15,900 --> 02:23:19,470 kid. And you know, the kids always had Ferraris. And so he 2350 02:23:19,500 --> 02:23:22,410 had a game company. He's had some some pretty cool things, 2351 02:23:22,410 --> 02:23:27,270 you know, but toys and he now he has, you know, Formula One team. 2352 02:23:27,720 --> 02:23:35,640 And now he's he's all over the newspapers with his s x c, which 2353 02:23:35,640 --> 02:23:40,680 stands for space expedition, company or corporation, which 2354 02:23:40,680 --> 02:23:44,220 actually used to be called the space expedition cure. So 2355 02:23:44,790 --> 02:23:50,280 because he bought into it, and it's a huge, huge, huge scam. I 2356 02:23:50,280 --> 02:23:53,310 just want to unveil the scam because it's the same scam that 2357 02:23:53,310 --> 02:23:57,120 Richard Branson is doing with this bullcrap selling tickets on 2358 02:23:57,120 --> 02:24:02,280 a space ride. And I just only he was on CNN want to play a little 2359 02:24:02,280 --> 02:24:05,610 bit. And then I just want to tell you what was really going 2360 02:24:05,610 --> 02:24:09,330 on here. And how this is just soaking up money from people who 2361 02:24:09,330 --> 02:24:12,690 have way too much money for some bullcrap fantasy ride, 2362 02:24:12,780 --> 02:24:17,070 especially a craft called links made by x Corp aerospace in 2363 02:24:17,070 --> 02:24:21,690 California is to take passengers up. S FC co founder Maciel mole 2364 02:24:21,690 --> 02:24:26,820 told me how the reusable craft is shaking up the space industry 2365 02:24:26,820 --> 02:24:27,450 shaking 2366 02:24:27,450 --> 02:24:31,560 up the space industry John, this space is being my God. 2367 02:24:33,120 --> 02:24:37,620 It's revolutionary new spacey, which is just a pilot and 2368 02:24:37,620 --> 02:24:40,500 copilot. So there's one passenger so to say it's just 2369 02:24:40,500 --> 02:24:43,710 two people on board the two of you. Yeah. And that has four 2370 02:24:43,710 --> 02:24:46,920 revolutionary new rocket engine revolutionary new rocket 2371 02:24:46,920 --> 02:24:50,460 engines, which makes us so special. It's a really small 2372 02:24:50,460 --> 02:24:53,670 engine there is not more than this. And it's extremely 2373 02:24:53,670 --> 02:24:57,630 powerful and efficient. So with those four small engines, we can 2374 02:24:57,630 --> 02:25:00,720 take it to an altitude of over 100 kilometers which makes you 2375 02:25:00,720 --> 02:25:03,420 an astronaut? Officially, officially you get your 2376 02:25:03,420 --> 02:25:05,970 astronaut wings and then the official title use 2377 02:25:06,030 --> 02:25:08,490 that. Do you hear what's going on? Have you figured out what 2378 02:25:08,490 --> 02:25:09,390 this is? Yeah, John. 2379 02:25:11,250 --> 02:25:13,920 Really? I mean, besides just being bullcrap, 2380 02:25:14,010 --> 02:25:17,130 ya know what it is, you know, these like fantasy rides where 2381 02:25:17,130 --> 02:25:21,660 you can, you know, you can for $20,000 you can fly in a MiG 2382 02:25:21,660 --> 02:25:25,980 fighter, or just 40, isn't it, this is one of them, whatever it 2383 02:25:25,980 --> 02:25:29,520 is, this is exactly what this is, they take you up to 60,000 2384 02:25:29,520 --> 02:25:34,620 feet, which by the way the Concorde did in 1972. If if they 2385 02:25:34,620 --> 02:25:38,670 ever get you up there for $95,000, they're going to put 2386 02:25:38,670 --> 02:25:43,350 you in, effectively, an F 16. With amazing new rocket engines, 2387 02:25:43,380 --> 02:25:45,840 if it ever happens, if it ever really happens, but they've 2388 02:25:45,840 --> 02:25:50,370 already got 40 people to give them $95,000 If you look at 2389 02:25:50,370 --> 02:25:55,920 their website, they're not going to fly until 2014. However, you 2390 02:25:55,920 --> 02:25:59,580 know, you have all these patches you see. And you have to go 2391 02:25:59,580 --> 02:26:02,430 through the training and the training, you get your G force 2392 02:26:02,430 --> 02:26:07,860 patch, your Desdemona simulator, whatever that is the mission 2393 02:26:07,860 --> 02:26:12,780 tactics course, the albatross jet course the zero G flight. 2394 02:26:12,990 --> 02:26:16,200 And for each one, of course, you're paying like 10 grand 2395 02:26:16,230 --> 02:26:20,880 outside of the 95 Grand. And let me see if I can find this video. 2396 02:26:20,940 --> 02:26:24,090 So here is the training flight, which you can of course, take 2397 02:26:24,090 --> 02:26:29,760 now after you've deposited your $95,000 in, in the hopes that in 2398 02:26:29,760 --> 02:26:34,890 2014, you will fly up into the interspace Yeah, I'll give you 2399 02:26:34,890 --> 02:26:39,330 the rest of his pitch. It's kind of funny. And and of course, you 2400 02:26:39,360 --> 02:26:42,120 you get a title, then you're an astronaut. So people have to 2401 02:26:42,120 --> 02:26:45,690 call you sir Spaceman or something like that accelerates 2402 02:26:46,590 --> 02:26:50,640 runway like normal plane, but then more like an F 16 With 2403 02:26:50,670 --> 02:26:53,820 afterburner speed that immediately goes straight up 2404 02:26:53,820 --> 02:26:56,640 into the air. And within a minute you break the sound 2405 02:26:56,640 --> 02:26:59,910 barrier, right and in three minutes, you're going Mach three 2406 02:26:59,910 --> 02:27:03,000 so close to 4000 kilometers an hour. And you're actually in 2407 02:27:03,000 --> 02:27:06,180 space already. If four minutes, the engine stops you're 2408 02:27:06,180 --> 02:27:09,930 weightless. You float to an altitude of over 100 kilometers 2409 02:27:10,110 --> 02:27:13,710 the shift turns upside down and that this whole top of the glass 2410 02:27:13,710 --> 02:27:16,230 canopy so yes, it's beautiful view of 2411 02:27:16,230 --> 02:27:18,810 Earth and you're seeing you're seeing all of this animated 2412 02:27:18,810 --> 02:27:20,400 because all they have is animation this 2413 02:27:20,400 --> 02:27:23,850 skies black of course was in you're really in space. You see 2414 02:27:23,850 --> 02:27:27,810 this earth was a thin layer of atmosphere. And I've never been 2415 02:27:27,810 --> 02:27:30,090 there yet. But I've talked to a number of astronauts who have 2416 02:27:30,120 --> 02:27:33,060 been there and they will they'll claim that is really magical and 2417 02:27:33,060 --> 02:27:36,600 life changing experience. And the two of you have their 7 2418 02:27:36,600 --> 02:27:39,600 billion people down there. It makes you ambassador for Mother 2419 02:27:39,600 --> 02:27:41,340 Earth itself immediate ambassador 2420 02:27:41,340 --> 02:27:45,300 of Mother Earth itself. So I just want people to understand 2421 02:27:45,390 --> 02:27:48,120 because because you know, this isn't the papers here and it's 2422 02:27:48,120 --> 02:27:51,720 the same with Richard Branson. This is bullshit. This is not 2423 02:27:51,720 --> 02:27:56,730 some magical fantastic. Oh, finally spaceflight for her 2424 02:27:56,760 --> 02:28:00,870 normal human beings. No, it's a fantasy ride. They're selling 2425 02:28:00,870 --> 02:28:04,530 people with way too much money a bunch of bullcrap. And part of 2426 02:28:04,530 --> 02:28:09,390 it is you pay an extra 20,000 for the flight in the L 39. 2427 02:28:09,420 --> 02:28:13,590 Albatross trainer because you have to train in order to do 2428 02:28:13,590 --> 02:28:16,380 this magical spaceflight. Here's the video. 2429 02:28:16,800 --> 02:28:20,400 The L 39. Training Mission training mission is specifically 2430 02:28:20,400 --> 02:28:26,250 designed for a space expedition Corporation. It creates 2431 02:28:26,250 --> 02:28:29,910 realistic mission circumstances similar to the actual links 2432 02:28:29,910 --> 02:28:33,450 spaceflight. Now the time has come to make space accessible. 2433 02:28:33,780 --> 02:28:37,380 Together with former pilots of the Royal Dutch Air Force, 2434 02:28:37,620 --> 02:28:41,550 future astronauts fly and experienced the very same 2435 02:28:41,550 --> 02:28:46,290 maneuvers and G forces. The ultimate space flight 2436 02:28:46,290 --> 02:28:47,160 experience. 2437 02:28:47,189 --> 02:28:59,189 It's a scam for rich people to stop believing it. Yeah, well, I 2438 02:28:59,189 --> 02:29:01,769 just had to get it off my chest, because it's so irritating. 2439 02:29:02,009 --> 02:29:06,119 Because in fact, I even got to play. See Kevin B's pet D on 2440 02:29:06,119 --> 02:29:10,829 today. I just want people to know that this is no big deal. 2441 02:29:10,829 --> 02:29:14,369 60,000 feet 80,000 feet. It's all been done. This is nothing 2442 02:29:14,369 --> 02:29:17,579 special. It's just a bunch of rich boys pretending to be 2443 02:29:17,579 --> 02:29:22,349 astronauts, and they hire ex astronauts to do their pitch 2444 02:29:22,349 --> 02:29:25,229 videos. This is nothing special. 2445 02:29:27,480 --> 02:29:30,720 Yeah, well, it's and a couple of guys have actually gone up with 2446 02:29:30,720 --> 02:29:33,840 the Russians but it cost $28 million. Talking about somebody 2447 02:29:33,840 --> 02:29:35,520 with too much money. That's a little different, 2448 02:29:35,520 --> 02:29:39,000 though. That's that's not what this is. That's no, that's 2449 02:29:39,000 --> 02:29:39,450 different. 2450 02:29:39,810 --> 02:29:42,810 They actually take you up and drop you off at a space. That 2451 02:29:43,350 --> 02:29:45,930 just doesn't sound like a come a good weekend. To me. 2452 02:29:45,960 --> 02:29:49,350 That's something like I really want to do. No, no, I agree. So 2453 02:29:49,350 --> 02:29:51,480 anyway, I call that the Bogota frontier. 2454 02:29:52,830 --> 02:29:55,890 All right. I saw a movie the other night. People might want 2455 02:29:55,890 --> 02:30:00,090 to check it out. And that was that visioneers in 2008 movie Be 2456 02:30:00,090 --> 02:30:04,830 with just it's just a it's definitely something if you're 2457 02:30:04,830 --> 02:30:09,270 it's offbeat, and Zach Galef and van and FANTIC, Danny Kanak. So 2458 02:30:09,270 --> 02:30:13,440 whatever his name is, and a bunch of other it's kind of a 2459 02:30:13,440 --> 02:30:18,000 big movie about, about this corporation that's taken over 2460 02:30:18,000 --> 02:30:24,150 the place and, and the solute is giving everyone the finger. So 2461 02:30:24,150 --> 02:30:26,430 it's kind of you know, it's kind of juvenile the movie in many 2462 02:30:26,430 --> 02:30:32,640 ways. But it's about people. They started exploding. Just out 2463 02:30:32,640 --> 02:30:37,320 of the blue. Yeah, they just blow up. And so I think it's 2464 02:30:37,320 --> 02:30:40,320 actually an homage to spontaneous human combustion, 2465 02:30:40,320 --> 02:30:40,680 right, which 2466 02:30:40,680 --> 02:30:42,870 you've been trying to one level, which you've been tracking for 2467 02:30:42,870 --> 02:30:44,100 many, many years. This is one 2468 02:30:44,100 --> 02:30:48,090 Oh, yeah. specialities. Yes, I'm glad to see somebody finally 2469 02:30:48,090 --> 02:30:52,560 made a movie. It has a fantastic rating of six out of 10 2470 02:30:53,370 --> 02:30:54,660 on Rotten Tomatoes, 2471 02:30:54,930 --> 02:30:58,590 it's free on your Netflix. Hey, 2472 02:30:58,620 --> 02:31:02,040 did I see that the cloud failed on Christmas where Netflix just 2473 02:31:02,070 --> 02:31:04,650 fell apart? And no one could watch? 2474 02:31:05,310 --> 02:31:10,020 No, I didn't know that. Yeah. It was pretty funny. Doesn't 2475 02:31:10,020 --> 02:31:10,800 surprise me? 2476 02:31:10,830 --> 02:31:15,090 Of course not. It's like this. Like, oh, yeah, it was like 2477 02:31:15,090 --> 02:31:17,760 Netflix. And of course, Amazon streaming stuff didn't work 2478 02:31:17,760 --> 02:31:21,570 either. I mean, we we don't have any of that here. But I just 2479 02:31:21,570 --> 02:31:25,890 thought that was pretty funny yet. Yeah, really? Now, man, I'm 2480 02:31:25,890 --> 02:31:28,260 gonna do what I'm all over now. Right. Right now with my new 2481 02:31:28,260 --> 02:31:32,880 thing is aprs. You got to get this. 2482 02:31:35,130 --> 02:31:37,230 AP or as What Does that ring a bell? 2483 02:31:37,859 --> 02:31:41,699 Well, it's been around for 20 years, I think automatic packet 2484 02:31:41,969 --> 02:31:45,509 reporting Reporting System System. Yeah. It's basically 2485 02:31:45,509 --> 02:31:50,489 Twitter for ham radio. It's pretty cool. I was able to send 2486 02:31:50,489 --> 02:31:50,579 an 2487 02:31:50,580 --> 02:31:54,930 email, let me go to one of the finds find ham sites, I was able 2488 02:31:54,930 --> 02:31:55,620 to as I was 2489 02:31:55,620 --> 02:32:04,230 able to send an email from my handheld. Radio, it's kind of a 2490 02:32:04,230 --> 02:32:07,260 mind bender. When you when you see how it works, but it's 2491 02:32:07,260 --> 02:32:10,680 really mature. It's been around for a long time. And so they 2492 02:32:10,680 --> 02:32:13,380 have an Internet backbone. But if that falls away, then it 2493 02:32:13,380 --> 02:32:17,280 still works. And you can just send messages to each other. And 2494 02:32:17,280 --> 02:32:20,370 so I actually have people sending, sending, it's kind of 2495 02:32:20,370 --> 02:32:23,040 like a Twitter that you need a license for? And I like that. 2496 02:32:25,710 --> 02:32:28,170 What license do you need? Do you need a general to use this 2497 02:32:28,170 --> 02:32:28,410 thing? 2498 02:32:28,439 --> 02:32:32,729 No, no, no, no, you can do it with a technician license. And I 2499 02:32:32,729 --> 02:32:35,219 just want to say something about the ham radio licenses to 2500 02:32:35,219 --> 02:32:41,069 everybody who's been hearing us talk about this. If you have if 2501 02:32:41,069 --> 02:32:43,919 you've been if you've ever talked to someone who's into ham 2502 02:32:43,919 --> 02:32:48,569 radio, and I think even we might have given this, this perception 2503 02:32:49,349 --> 02:32:51,839 that like, Oh, you have to study for this test. And you have to 2504 02:32:51,839 --> 02:32:54,899 do this test. And it's really like a test man. It's like 2505 02:32:54,899 --> 02:32:58,889 technical test, is the biggest bunch of bullcrap. Because the 2506 02:32:58,889 --> 02:33:02,159 answers by law with the questions, the multiple choice 2507 02:33:02,159 --> 02:33:06,959 questions are published. Okay? So with the four with the four 2508 02:33:06,959 --> 02:33:10,229 answers, three of which are wrong, they may be in a 2509 02:33:10,229 --> 02:33:13,799 different order. So even if you weren't interested, you only 2510 02:33:13,799 --> 02:33:17,399 have to memorize all the questions and the answers, that 2511 02:33:17,399 --> 02:33:20,459 for every test, it's the same for the general and same for the 2512 02:33:20,609 --> 02:33:26,069 extra class. This is if you can, if you can memorize, even if you 2513 02:33:26,069 --> 02:33:29,039 don't understand a thing about it, you can still pass this 2514 02:33:29,039 --> 02:33:34,049 test. So I don't want any magic, that it's tough or whatever. 2515 02:33:34,230 --> 02:33:38,130 Anyone who knows anything about computers can probably without 2516 02:33:38,130 --> 02:33:41,550 without getting the Yeah, yeah, without 75% of exactly. 2517 02:33:41,850 --> 02:33:46,380 So you can pass this test, guaranteed, guaranteed you can 2518 02:33:46,380 --> 02:33:50,370 pass this test. And it's worth it because we can do fun things 2519 02:33:50,370 --> 02:33:53,760 and we can you know, and without all the eight holes, you know, 2520 02:33:53,760 --> 02:33:58,560 as because most eight holes won't even go for the test. So, 2521 02:33:58,860 --> 02:34:01,890 pass the test, take the test, even the technician pass the 2522 02:34:01,890 --> 02:34:05,400 test, join the club, there's a lot of cool stuff we can do. 2523 02:34:05,520 --> 02:34:06,390 That's my pitch. 2524 02:34:08,010 --> 02:34:10,980 I like it. You're good. I'm glad. I'm glad you're on board. 2525 02:34:12,630 --> 02:34:15,630 I'm also dispelling the myth that is once they've removed the 2526 02:34:15,870 --> 02:34:18,480 the requirements for Morse code, which by the way, now that I've 2527 02:34:18,480 --> 02:34:22,470 actually learned it five words per minute, really, is that what 2528 02:34:22,470 --> 02:34:26,430 stopped me from from wanting to do this test, which still had 2529 02:34:26,430 --> 02:34:30,150 all the questions and answers published, anyone can do five 2530 02:34:30,150 --> 02:34:34,290 words a minute. It's really not that hard. But you don't even 2531 02:34:34,290 --> 02:34:37,800 have to do that anymore. So get on board with the plan. Join us 2532 02:34:37,920 --> 02:34:41,340 it's Twitter with a license and worldwide and without the stupid 2533 02:34:41,340 --> 02:34:45,960 wires and no log files and no tracking. And you can and we can 2534 02:34:45,990 --> 02:34:47,310 be awesome. 2535 02:34:49,500 --> 02:34:51,570 Yeah, I think people should get it. Everyone should get a ham 2536 02:34:51,570 --> 02:34:53,400 license. It's not a big deal. If they listen. 2537 02:34:54,240 --> 02:34:55,950 If they listen to this program, they should. 2538 02:34:57,000 --> 02:35:01,200 Yeah, they should. Yeah. It's not Big Deal is good to have. 2539 02:35:01,200 --> 02:35:04,830 It's kind of cool in some nerdy way. People always say I'm a 2540 02:35:04,830 --> 02:35:07,380 nerd. I'm a geek, willing get your ham license if you're a 2541 02:35:07,380 --> 02:35:10,590 nerd and especially some of the women out there. Yeah, we like 2542 02:35:10,590 --> 02:35:13,800 to call themselves geeky girls. Oh, I'm geeky. I'm a nerd. Yeah, 2543 02:35:13,800 --> 02:35:17,070 a lot of actresses do this. You know? What's the name of that 2544 02:35:17,070 --> 02:35:20,640 girl in the love Ms. Show? She's Oh, I'm a geek. I'm a geek. I'm 2545 02:35:20,640 --> 02:35:23,430 a kind of I play games on the computer.

No, I'm 2548 02:35:31,320 --> 02:35:36,930 thinking of Anne Hathaway really claims to be a geek girl. She's 2549 02:35:36,930 --> 02:35:41,460 not a geek girl know when she says you asked her. Like, the 2550 02:35:41,460 --> 02:35:42,210 computer 2551 02:35:42,240 --> 02:35:45,480 buzzing her out at Mollywood Mollywood. You should have a ham 2552 02:35:45,480 --> 02:35:46,290 radio license. 2553 02:35:46,320 --> 02:35:49,980 Ma if Molly get a ham license.

This is going to 2568 02:36:30,540 --> 02:36:33,360 be our this is 2018. Ladies and gentlemen. We're kind of rolling 2569 02:36:33,360 --> 02:36:36,450 it out in advance. But a heads up on what we're going to be 2570 02:36:36,450 --> 02:36:36,990 pushing. 2571 02:36:38,730 --> 02:36:41,160 This is the new agenda on the no agenda show. 2572 02:36:41,370 --> 02:36:45,690 Yes.

And you have an under Show clip here that you 2575 02:36:49,110 --> 02:36:50,790 want to play or is that not something? Yeah, 2576 02:36:50,790 --> 02:36:54,720 let me let me set it up. It's a it's just a long, Dan Burton was 2577 02:36:54,720 --> 02:36:58,410 a congressman who we headed up a bunch of committees in Congress 2578 02:36:58,410 --> 02:37:00,900 who did most of the investigative stuff, and 2579 02:37:00,900 --> 02:37:02,880 actually have two clips here. But just a one, we need to play 2580 02:37:02,880 --> 02:37:06,480 the end to show clip. He talks about what congressional powers 2581 02:37:06,480 --> 02:37:09,660 you have what Congress can and cannot do, and what the 2582 02:37:09,660 --> 02:37:12,450 President can and cannot do. And it's up to Congress to 2583 02:37:12,450 --> 02:37:15,480 investigate the president. And he has a few anecdotes about his 2584 02:37:15,480 --> 02:37:20,370 days as the chief investigator when he was heading the 2585 02:37:20,370 --> 02:37:24,780 committee that did the house rules. And some of you had two 2586 02:37:24,780 --> 02:37:27,000 or three committees and this is the one he was only going after 2587 02:37:27,000 --> 02:37:30,000 Clinton. Right. Okay, gotcha. Always going after Clinton. And 2588 02:37:30,000 --> 02:37:32,100 he has some interesting anecdotes that are worth 2589 02:37:32,100 --> 02:37:32,640 listening to. 2590 02:37:32,939 --> 02:37:40,559 Nice. Okay, we will roll that out. And we will have our final 2591 02:37:40,889 --> 02:37:45,239 broadcast of the best podcast in the universe on Sunday. 2592 02:37:45,600 --> 02:37:47,670 And that final 2012 broadcast. 2593 02:37:48,420 --> 02:37:49,260 That's what you think. 2594 02:37:51,570 --> 02:37:53,100 Well, yeah, you never know. 2595 02:37:53,130 --> 02:37:58,710 So let's see if we can get some 474 nights in just before we we 2596 02:37:58,710 --> 02:38:00,870 end out the year. Thank you. Again, thank 2597 02:38:00,870 --> 02:38:01,620 you. Chance, thank 2598 02:38:01,620 --> 02:38:05,010 you again for supporting us day 21 and exile here and get my 2599 02:38:05,010 --> 02:38:07,500 nation low lands in the morning. I'm Adam curry. 2600 02:38:08,160 --> 02:38:10,590 And from Northern northern northern northern northern 2601 02:38:10,590 --> 02:38:13,410 Silicon Valley. I'm John C. Dvorak, we back on Sunday 2602 02:38:13,410 --> 02:38:15,480 right here with more no agenda. 2603 02:38:15,570 --> 02:38:20,610 And when you want to explain to people about the investigations 2604 02:38:20,610 --> 02:38:24,900 power of Congress, and what role it plays generally, how do you 2605 02:38:25,050 --> 02:38:27,060 explain that role of Congress? 2606 02:38:28,200 --> 02:38:32,370 The Congress has the responsibility to ferret out 2607 02:38:32,370 --> 02:38:36,420 waste, fraud and abuse in government. And in the executive 2608 02:38:36,420 --> 02:38:40,740 branch, were supposed to oversee that most committees in the 2609 02:38:40,740 --> 02:38:44,760 Congress in the house don't do a really good job of it. When I 2610 02:38:44,760 --> 02:38:47,820 became chairman new charged me with the responsibility of 2611 02:38:47,820 --> 02:38:51,810 really being aggressive in a number of investigations, I 2612 02:38:51,810 --> 02:38:54,540 investigate Health and Human Services, the Food and Drug 2613 02:38:54,540 --> 02:38:59,220 Administration, the FBI, as well as the White House. And we found 2614 02:38:59,220 --> 02:39:01,890 that there were people in jail for 30 Some years for crimes 2615 02:39:01,890 --> 02:39:06,120 they didn't commit. J. Edgar Hoover knew about it. And like 2616 02:39:06,120 --> 02:39:09,000 Mr. jail cell body of Massachusetts, so there were a 2617 02:39:09,000 --> 02:39:11,760 lot of things that were wrong and government that weren't 2618 02:39:11,760 --> 02:39:15,570 readily known. And so when we had our investigations, we were 2619 02:39:15,570 --> 02:39:21,330 very, very aggressive. Now, what did we do? I issued over 1200 2620 02:39:21,330 --> 02:39:24,720 subpoenas. I don't think anybody will ever touch that record. I'm 2621 02:39:24,720 --> 02:39:27,060 not sure it's a good record. But it was what I thought was 2622 02:39:27,060 --> 02:39:30,180 necessary, as because we wanted to get to the bottom of a lot of 2623 02:39:30,180 --> 02:39:33,090 these things. And I think it paid off. And I will tell you 2624 02:39:33,090 --> 02:39:36,960 this, we not only put pressure on the Clinton administration, I 2625 02:39:36,960 --> 02:39:39,660 put pressure on the Bush administration energy, his chief 2626 02:39:39,660 --> 02:39:42,930 counsel at the White House, as well, in particular with the 2627 02:39:42,930 --> 02:39:48,060 Saudi case was involved. And so I know you've probably heard of 2628 02:39:48,600 --> 02:39:52,230 Whitey Bolger, who was just captured recently. His brother, 2629 02:39:52,770 --> 02:39:55,680 Billy Bolger was one of the people we had before our 2630 02:39:55,680 --> 02:39:58,380 committee in Boston working on that, that vulture 2631 02:39:58,380 --> 02:40:01,350 investigation, so there were a lot of things As we did, and 2632 02:40:01,380 --> 02:40:06,120 that's the responsibility of Congress, the oversight of the 2633 02:40:06,120 --> 02:40:08,280 executive branch and the agencies of government is 2634 02:40:08,280 --> 02:40:13,290 extremely important. Because no matter what you believe there's 2635 02:40:13,290 --> 02:40:16,230 going what you think there's going to be waste, there's going 2636 02:40:16,230 --> 02:40:19,260 to be fraud, and there's going to be criminal activity and 2637 02:40:19,260 --> 02:40:22,320 abuse in any government. And you have to really take a hard look 2638 02:40:22,320 --> 02:40:23,190 at what was 2639 02:40:23,190 --> 02:40:27,300 that hyper partisanship you're talking about earlier? And some 2640 02:40:27,300 --> 02:40:32,460 of its root causes? Did your aggressive stance for 2641 02:40:32,460 --> 02:40:35,130 investigation contribute to that? And if so, is that the 2642 02:40:35,130 --> 02:40:37,080 price that you think is necessary to pay? 2643 02:40:38,310 --> 02:40:43,680 I think that it did contribute to that. Because you're really 2644 02:40:43,680 --> 02:40:47,160 stepping on toes. When you go after the President of the 2645 02:40:47,160 --> 02:40:51,240 United States, you'd better have armor plate. And you'd better 2646 02:40:51,240 --> 02:40:54,540 realize they're going to do whatever it takes to negate what 2647 02:40:54,540 --> 02:40:57,720 you say, and to put a stop to your investigation, which they 2648 02:40:57,720 --> 02:41:02,280 did. And they contacted them by the head of my golf team. When I 2649 02:41:02,280 --> 02:41:05,370 was in high school, girls I dated in school, they, they went 2650 02:41:05,370 --> 02:41:08,700 into everything. So I think that's one of the things you 2651 02:41:08,700 --> 02:41:12,480 have to expect when you're really aggressive. And it does 2652 02:41:12,480 --> 02:41:17,280 cause problems. But nevertheless, I have no regrets 2653 02:41:17,280 --> 02:41:21,030 about it. I feel if you're going to do your job and do it to the 2654 02:41:21,030 --> 02:41:23,670 best of your ability and live up to your commitments to the 2655 02:41:23,670 --> 02:41:27,960 Constitution. You have to be ready to take the slings and 2656 02:41:27,960 --> 02:41:29,550 arrows of outrageous fortune. 2657 02:41:29,760 --> 02:41:33,390 What did you learn through that experience about the powers of 2658 02:41:33,390 --> 02:41:35,220 the executive and the powers of the Congress? 2659 02:41:35,850 --> 02:41:39,210 As I said before, I learned that the President of the United 2660 02:41:39,210 --> 02:41:42,510 States if he has an attorney general, that will really stand 2661 02:41:42,510 --> 02:41:47,610 behind him. I think there's very little that can be accomplished 2662 02:41:47,610 --> 02:41:50,880 as far as bringing illegal activity to the fore and to 2663 02:41:50,880 --> 02:41:55,230 justice, Richard Nixon, he went to his Attorney General during 2664 02:41:55,230 --> 02:41:57,930 Watergate and didn't get his support. Had he gotten his 2665 02:41:57,930 --> 02:42:01,440 support, I don't think he would have left office. Conversely, 2666 02:42:01,590 --> 02:42:04,320 when we went after Bill Clinton and had over 100 people take the 2667 02:42:04,320 --> 02:42:08,130 Fifth Amendment or flee the country. And we had, I felt very 2668 02:42:08,130 --> 02:42:12,180 strong evidence of some illegal activities. Janet Reno really 2669 02:42:12,300 --> 02:42:18,780 protected him. And I think that ended up helping him a lot. But 2670 02:42:18,780 --> 02:42:22,320 I want to point out, and if Bill or Hillary is paying any 2671 02:42:22,320 --> 02:42:25,830 attention, I would say that they did some good things. And I 2672 02:42:25,830 --> 02:42:28,290 think that the economy of the country was helped because he 2673 02:42:28,290 --> 02:42:31,260 worked with Newt Gingrich. So there were some positives, but 2674 02:42:31,260 --> 02:42:33,480 nevertheless, I still feel like there was some things that were 2675 02:42:33,480 --> 02:42:38,250 wrong that we were pursuing. A second little little clip to 2676 02:42:38,250 --> 02:42:39,750 show you how awkward it was 2677 02:42:41,460 --> 02:42:48,360 that you can answer this question after six food, lots of 2678 02:42:48,390 --> 02:42:54,360 insights here for you. I like soapnuts 2679 02:43:01,410 --> 02:43:08,400 boomerang.org/n A Hillary Clinton
