10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,000
It was $16 million worth of airplane strapped to my ass.

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
It's been the next generation radio content in my ears.

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
I like to think I'm flying into the future.

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Fantastic.

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
It's a memory.

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Hey, Ramadil, isn't it?

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Korean with a DSC, six, eight, is three.

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:03:40,620
[ Music ]

18
00:03:40,620 --> 00:04:07,900
I was trying to find any kind of substitute I could as a cowbell banging my lighter on on the

19
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:13,140
baker's rack that is known as the studio here in the condo trying it on on the laptop

20
00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:19,060
tried it on the cup nothing nothing suffice nothing came even close okay it's officially

21
00:04:19,060 --> 00:04:24,700
still Wednesday evening here in San Francisco so you're hopefully here in this on Thursday

22
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:29,140
I'm getting a little tired it's nearing the end of the trip you know it's been on

23
00:04:29,140 --> 00:04:34,340
been a full week now and of course it's been nonstop but I didn't even have a weekend to

24
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:43,340
really relax I got a nice cup of tea here I actually have having like dizzy spells

25
00:04:43,340 --> 00:04:51,180
I think I'm overdoing it all righty lots of stuff to talk about today because there's

26
00:04:51,180 --> 00:04:54,940
a lot going on in the world actually first of all there's a lot going on in my world

27
00:04:54,940 --> 00:05:02,060
may I just say I am completely loving my Macintosh you know I of course I've been

28
00:05:02,780 --> 00:05:09,740
a lifetime Mac user since my dad brought home the first Apple to I've basically been

29
00:05:09,740 --> 00:05:15,100
a lifetime beta tester and live through everything and I think it's it's you know coming

30
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:19,660
up to this point and the machine that they've delivered to me now I have to say it's been

31
00:05:19,660 --> 00:05:28,140
worth it 20 years or whatever of buying Apple to crap a lot of it crap but that's just you

32
00:05:28,140 --> 00:05:33,900
know just the evolution I guess and this machine so I how long was on Windows I went away let's

33
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:38,300
see I went away when the power book G4 came out and it had that audio problem and Apple

34
00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:42,780
wouldn't acknowledge it or couldn't acknowledge it whatever the problem was and there was no

35
00:05:42,780 --> 00:05:52,300
sight and fix let's see how tired I am no fix and sight oh crap so I had to have something reliable

36
00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:56,220
and of course I was happy to use cast blaster which I'm using right now as well on my

37
00:05:56,300 --> 00:06:01,340
via laptop which is now become a basically the studio and doesn't leave the baker's rack anymore

38
00:06:01,340 --> 00:06:08,460
when I'm here so that's when I got the via a nice fast machine very snappy but no Mac I don't

39
00:06:08,460 --> 00:06:12,300
care what you say it's no Mac but I live with it you know I consider myself to be a pretty

40
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:17,820
proficient Windows user and a pretty good judge of of switching over to the Mac and it is like

41
00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:23,820
it's like it's like having good sex you know it's just really nice I got the nice high glossy

42
00:06:23,820 --> 00:06:30,460
screen I think it's the B version is what they call the MacBook Pro I've got the 2.4 gigahertz

43
00:06:31,580 --> 00:06:37,180
and I've got four gigs of RAM things stacked it just works you know all of this networking

44
00:06:37,180 --> 00:06:43,660
stuff I have to do a lot of networking between machines that's really easy now I love the backup

45
00:06:43,660 --> 00:06:48,220
I love just plugging in a drive and you know just unplugging it whenever I feel like it and knowing

46
00:06:48,220 --> 00:06:52,940
that everything's backed up through time machine I actually needed to store a couple of files to

47
00:06:52,940 --> 00:06:57,100
share some and I was like oh man I got to find an FTP server and I was like I'll just put

48
00:06:57,100 --> 00:07:01,020
on my dot Mac account you know and it synchronized nicely on the background

49
00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:06,700
no it's it's very very impressive you know I think that you know it's as I'm a big

50
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:10,940
Unix fan and by the way that's one thing that is rarely discussed anymore this thing is it

51
00:07:10,940 --> 00:07:17,420
runs on Unix you know BSD this is great I can open up a terminal window I've got a command line

52
00:07:17,420 --> 00:07:22,140
I can do Unix stuff I still love doing some stuff in just command line because it's so incredibly fast

53
00:07:22,140 --> 00:07:27,180
you know doing stuff with files copying them piping them piping them out to some other command

54
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:33,500
to me I like that still boy if you're touching you heard me say I like piping the files you're

55
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:40,220
probably laughing at this moment aren't you so let's see what shall we what shall we start with

56
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:47,100
I probably the what everyone has been talking about today is that several countries are now looking

57
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:53,900
at dumping the dollar so this is a big follow the money big big big follow the money part here

58
00:07:54,460 --> 00:07:59,340
and I want to say that yesterday I saw this news article and of course I didn't do a show

59
00:07:59,340 --> 00:08:06,780
yesterday or today or whatever the hell it is for you tomorrow down under I saw this article that

60
00:08:06,780 --> 00:08:13,900
the FDA had either proposed a bill or a bill was being proposed or they were you know I don't

61
00:08:13,980 --> 00:08:17,660
know maybe they could do it whenever they want but the whole idea was there was going to be a

62
00:08:17,660 --> 00:08:25,420
long that the FDA could in the future could create a mandatory recall of products now of course

63
00:08:25,420 --> 00:08:28,860
the only products that have really been recalled that's been that have been in the news recently

64
00:08:28,860 --> 00:08:34,300
have been products from China and it's really fucked up some you know some Chinese companies

65
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:38,780
you know these big recalls of course granted that you know there was shoddy stuff there was

66
00:08:39,340 --> 00:08:43,740
poisonous and all kinds of stuff that was wrong with their product and quite honestly

67
00:08:43,740 --> 00:08:46,620
I think a lot of products coming out of China at the moment actually aren't that

68
00:08:47,740 --> 00:08:53,500
high of quality but this of course is you know that's basically the government saying hey China

69
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:58,060
if you don't watch out we just might all of a sudden have a recall on all your products you know

70
00:08:58,060 --> 00:09:02,300
and we can we'll have the legal right to do that and I said to a couple of people I said wow man look at

71
00:09:02,460 --> 00:09:08,780
that shit that's pretty dangerous and low and behold today the news comes out let me just see

72
00:09:09,660 --> 00:09:17,020
China is talking about divesting some of its one point something would uh one point I got that

73
00:09:17,020 --> 00:09:25,020
got it here hold on it's like a 1.7 trillion dollars that they have any of them I want to put it into

74
00:09:25,020 --> 00:09:34,540
euros or or uh or yen for that matter if you put anything they want but there's a couple

75
00:09:34,540 --> 00:09:41,740
so and this of course sent the stock market spiraling the dollar is now again a new low against the

76
00:09:41,740 --> 00:09:48,780
euro meanwhile oil is it you know the clothes that close to almost a hundred dollars of barrel

77
00:09:48,780 --> 00:09:53,180
I'm do remember talking about this being a hundred dollars of barrel by the end of the year

78
00:09:53,180 --> 00:09:57,660
I should see if I blog that somewhere if I can find the audio snippet from when I predicted that

79
00:09:59,980 --> 00:10:05,740
and this is and so what's even worse and this is the real the real issue there's you know there's

80
00:10:05,740 --> 00:10:10,300
a couple of things that are traded in dollars worldwide aircraft happens to be one of them which is

81
00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:15,820
kind of cool because you know if you have lots of euros or pounds you know it's kind of getting cheaper

82
00:10:15,820 --> 00:10:22,300
every day to buy really nice airplanes so that's that would be considered good my vantage point

83
00:10:22,460 --> 00:10:28,860
not so good though is that oil has always been traded in dollars and so because the dollar is

84
00:10:28,860 --> 00:10:35,260
so unstable and unfortunately it's unstable in the wrong direction you know oil gets more expensive

85
00:10:35,260 --> 00:10:45,420
than it already is you know it's it's real it's just basic economics so in order to stabilize that

86
00:10:45,420 --> 00:10:50,860
a little bit other countries you know they'd like to do some things like maybe buy oil in a

87
00:10:50,860 --> 00:10:56,140
different currency and this is that this is the big danger that's taking place I think right in

88
00:10:56,140 --> 00:11:04,220
front of our eyes this is a great article written by Jessica Hub who sent this to me someone who

89
00:11:04,220 --> 00:11:12,780
was really on the ball oh Michelle Michelle Blasky of course so here are seven countries considering

90
00:11:12,780 --> 00:11:19,740
abandoning the US dollar and and of course that is what it means is not good news Saudi Arabia

91
00:11:21,740 --> 00:11:26,300
I'm just gonna paraphrase a couple of these telegraph reports the first time Saudi Arabia has refused to

92
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:31,900
cut interest rates along with the US federal reserve that means they're breaking away from the currency

93
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:38,460
that's pretty significant South Korea in 2005 South Korea announced its intention to shift its

94
00:11:38,460 --> 00:11:45,420
investments to currencies of countries other than the US so there are whispers that the bank of

95
00:11:45,420 --> 00:11:53,740
Korea is planning on selling one billion US bonds in the very near future China here we go after

96
00:11:53,740 --> 00:11:58,620
already dropping the dollar peg that means you know basically having their their currency trade

97
00:11:58,620 --> 00:12:05,340
along you know if the dollar goes up then they move theirs up that was a 2005 China has more trouble

98
00:12:05,340 --> 00:12:09,900
a bit sleeve currently China is threatening a nuclear option of huge dollar with a calling it a

99
00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:14,620
nuclear option of huge dollar liquidation in response to possible trade sanctions that's what I was

100
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:21,100
telling you about if they really dumped a whole bunch of dollars in the market they could take the

101
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:29,340
dollar out Venezuela by the way you know how Bush hate shove is well Venezuela holds a little

102
00:12:29,340 --> 00:12:36,620
loyalty to the dollar in fact they've shown over disapproval choosing to establish barter deals for oil

103
00:12:37,580 --> 00:12:46,220
so that's moving away from the dollar Sudan Iran Russia so what this means is that if these

104
00:12:46,220 --> 00:12:51,660
countries start abandoning the dollar you know there's just going to be a huge supply of dollars

105
00:12:51,660 --> 00:12:56,700
and supply and demand you know says well look if there's all of a sudden there's a surge in

106
00:12:56,700 --> 00:13:05,420
availability the price will go down that's basic market economics so it can get much much worse

107
00:13:06,860 --> 00:13:13,420
and I think we're seeing a whole bunch of shit happening at the same time here you know

108
00:13:13,420 --> 00:13:19,420
I'm also hearing and reading about all kinds of impeachment who sent me this this was another email

109
00:13:19,420 --> 00:13:26,860
that just blew my mind this was from oh boy it's now it's really weird that I have

117
00:14:13,980 --> 00:14:21,420
episode let me see talking about basically the privatization of the government services

118
00:14:22,060 --> 00:14:28,380
did you know that there are special insurance companies that for you know extra you know

119
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:34,860
for like exorbitant fees we'll have airplanes and all kinds of stuff on standby in the

120
00:14:34,860 --> 00:14:40,460
case of some horrible disaster or terrorist attack and only if you're insured will you you

128
00:15:21,660 --> 00:15:28,140
has a few new plans which kind of stirred up the European Parliament it's such a very fine way

129
00:15:28,700 --> 00:15:35,740
he actually wants the same kind of chicks and systems like they have in the US now

130
00:15:36,620 --> 00:15:44,060
which means basically that all passenger identification information credit card numbers

that you're on the FM radio dial here in Austin on 91.1 well at least in and around my house

140
00:16:54,780 --> 00:17:01,420
the thing is I have this little FM transmitter that I set up and I have some playlist software

141
00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:08,380
that automatically schedules your podcast every day at 7 p.m. on this personal radio station of mine

142

it's called Bart FM Bart FM that's right so Adam just wanted to ask you to limit those four

143
00:17:14,940 --> 00:17:20,860
leather words otherwise my neighbors may just call the FCC and that'll get me into a big trouble

144
00:17:21,100 --> 00:17:25,820
in case you want there I'm a Belgian citizen living in the US have some history of

00:18:00,940 --> 00:18:06,540
head bangers ball in the 80s and 90s you are going to love banging with Butler it's going to be

150
00:18:06,540 --> 00:18:12,700
Friday nights I think it kicks off this Friday night actually I hope so at least it'll be

151
00:18:12,780 --> 00:18:19,580
it's live on the plus TV dot com and I think we're doing it at midnight London time then we

152
00:18:19,580 --> 00:18:27,420
re-air it again midnight New York time at midnight Los Angeles slash San Francisco time and it's

153
00:18:27,420 --> 00:18:33,900
it's awesome I mean the it is it's what the head bangers ball should be it doesn't exist of course

154
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:39,180
anymore but banging with Butler I'll make sure I'll put a link in the show notes Friday

155
00:18:39,180 --> 00:18:43,500
so that you couldn't it well just go you know the plus TV dot com that's where you're going to find

156
00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:51,980
banging with Butler let's switch gears for a second here hello my name is Tom this for Adam

157
00:18:51,980 --> 00:18:58,380
Adam hey I just was listening to actually you're a no agenda podcast I was listening to the AC

158
00:18:58,380 --> 00:19:03,180
oh thank you yeah that's no agenda dot pod show dot com john to war can I clutching

159
00:19:03,180 --> 00:19:08,780
I was just listening to you guys talk about the hulu website I've actually been involved

160
00:19:08,780 --> 00:19:14,620
I haven't got I signed up for beta months ago and still haven't received anything problem on that

161
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:19,660
hey this is uh this is uh this is pretty interesting a lot of people are talking about this hulu dot com

162
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:27,260
and I also asked for a beta and uh I know john to war I can't believe that he didn't receive one you think

163
00:19:27,260 --> 00:19:34,060
that you know people of the press and someone in the press is apparently impressed with hulu dot

164
00:19:34,060 --> 00:19:39,260
com because a good buzz about it I'm hearing about it everywhere you know just not just from people

165
00:19:39,260 --> 00:19:43,660
in the media business but people like in the venture capital business and there's even like wow you

166
00:19:43,660 --> 00:19:48,060
know what's it going to do to YouTube and first thing I say it's something completely different from

167
00:19:48,060 --> 00:19:53,020
YouTube you know these guys are about popularizing media YouTube's about democratizing media

168
00:19:53,020 --> 00:19:58,060
two very different businesses and different business models so you couldn't get one either

169
00:19:58,060 --> 00:20:02,140
I thought if you read the blog you can see a lot of things that people are saying about it

170
00:20:02,860 --> 00:20:08,620
they've actually taken down almost 200 posts of negative comments that people have about

171
00:20:09,260 --> 00:20:17,580
really what's it uh okay so they're taking away the negative comments that might explain why

172
00:20:17,660 --> 00:20:23,740
there's only good news yeah I mean if you don't want to go over there and read that I wish

173
00:20:23,740 --> 00:20:30,140
I had a beta so I could check it out but I gave up on it and I saw these at blogs but I

174
00:20:30,140 --> 00:20:36,860
think it'd be so you should go back to iTunes and sell them content so that's all I have to

175
00:20:36,860 --> 00:20:43,900
buy it so fuck you I'm very yeah thank you thank you yeah yeah and and that's another thing I have

176
00:20:44,460 --> 00:20:48,780
you know of course I get a Mac and I'm using the Mac and I'm kind of reconnecting with iTunes and

177
00:20:49,420 --> 00:20:54,140
it has what is it front row you know you've got a remote control for your Mac so you can control it

178
00:20:54,780 --> 00:20:58,860
and you can have a really pretty good experience watching some stuff and I think I told you about

179
00:20:58,860 --> 00:21:05,660
madman that American movie channel series I've now purchased every single episode of the first series

180
00:21:05,660 --> 00:21:09,900
love it I've watched every single one I've been watching like two or three episodes in night yeah

181
00:21:09,900 --> 00:21:19,100
just like before before I go fall asleep just watch a couple episodes so it was my point about

182
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:23,980
Hulu yeah I hope they do a good job because I want to be able to watch their shows online

183
00:21:25,180 --> 00:21:32,220
I really would I'm not quite sure how they're I wonder if the writer strike is is tied into

184
00:21:32,220 --> 00:21:36,620
this somehow they're not releasing publicly yet it could be possible

185
00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:42,780
oh yes the writer strike had a long chat with Marc Yoshimo to Namcoff yesterday he's the closest

186
00:21:42,780 --> 00:21:49,260
thing I know to a writer I think he but he is or was a WGA member he probably isn't anymore

187
00:21:50,140 --> 00:21:54,460
we were just shooting a shit about what could happen and what the possibilities were and you know there's

188
00:21:54,460 --> 00:22:00,460
lots of people say well you know they're gonna want some of your content like fuck him let them die

189
00:22:01,340 --> 00:22:05,020
I'm sorry they gotta figure it out for themselves you know that's their industry

190
00:22:06,620 --> 00:22:10,700
hopefully more people just get interested in what we're doing and shuttle on over here you know

191
00:22:11,740 --> 00:22:17,260
I honestly I have watched so little television while I've been here it's I'm this is just

192
00:22:17,260 --> 00:22:25,740
more interesting stuff online I can't help it okay let's see what do we have here oh yeah this

193
00:22:25,740 --> 00:22:31,020
is in reference to oh boy I get to play a jingle for this one home I'm where uh yeah there he is

194
00:22:39,020 --> 00:22:44,060
I had them for the pick program I hear from San Francisco I know just you've been bringing

195
00:22:44,060 --> 00:22:53,420
out calls for Iranians to call in and listen to you and you run well my father is Iranian

196
00:22:54,380 --> 00:23:03,180
and I'm British but I am also half Lebanese um just thought I'd let you know that and uh

197
00:23:03,180 --> 00:23:12,140
cheers I guess I oh fuck you yeah fuck you too thank you I meant a little bit I

198
00:23:12,140 --> 00:23:16,460
appreciate a prolific program but I'm really looking for someone who lives in Iran you know someone

199
00:23:16,460 --> 00:23:22,220
I gotta put this link in the show notes a daily source code dot com mr good bar sent me a link

200
00:23:23,020 --> 00:23:29,020
to a series a slideshow an almost never ending slideshow um of pictures of Iran

201
00:23:29,820 --> 00:23:35,020
and I'm just I'm gonna presume that they're all pictures of Iran what what a beautiful country

202
00:23:35,020 --> 00:23:43,100
what an unbelievably stunningly beautiful country you have to look at these pictures you will not be

203
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:49,500
disappointed is just it's lovely and it just it helps me to you know get a different perspective on

204
00:23:49,580 --> 00:23:55,980
all this drum beating about we've got to go bomb Iran you know why the hell do we have to go bomb

205
00:23:55,980 --> 00:24:01,740
Iran here's I'm not gonna tell you who who who who told me this theory because I don't know if he

206
00:24:01,740 --> 00:24:10,140
wants to go public with it but I certainly think it's viable one theory is that uh bush wants to get a

207
00:24:10,140 --> 00:24:18,220
third term by removing the uh with the hell is it article 22 or something like that and there's

208
00:24:18,300 --> 00:24:24,380
you know boy if you if you google that google George Bush's third term oh man that's a whole

209
00:24:24,380 --> 00:24:28,940
another conspiracy theory there's just too many conspiracy theories that are just too fucking easy

210
00:24:28,940 --> 00:24:34,300
to turn into good into conspiracy theories there's gotta be some truth to this something really

211
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:42,940
strange is going on I can feel it you know that's funny I'm really good at uh I'm not great at

212
00:24:42,940 --> 00:24:49,180
finances and numbers and and organizational charts but I've had this knack and Ron and I've had

213
00:24:49,180 --> 00:24:55,420
you know companies with 700 people uh and right now I think you know pod show is pretty big with about

214
00:24:55,420 --> 00:25:03,900
90 95 to 100 people I have a knack of being able to feel where things aren't quite working or

215
00:25:04,940 --> 00:25:11,180
I can look at a spreadsheet and I can say hey you know there's something weird with this cost over here

216
00:25:11,260 --> 00:25:16,460
that it shouldn't be that high and we're doing something wrong I can do that I can smell that stuff and

217
00:25:16,460 --> 00:25:21,820
I can smell it all around me right now there's just something really really really funky going on

218
00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:29,980
the red pills are coursing throughout my veins my friends I tell you hey Adam it's atomic right

219
00:25:29,980 --> 00:25:38,220
Adam's here you're a favorite red pill pooping atomic energy expert I'm standing looking down

220
00:25:38,220 --> 00:25:43,260
over watching DC from right next to the on international cemetery looking at the air force

221
00:25:43,260 --> 00:25:49,260
memorial and thinking about what this city's going to be like when it's led by a man named Dr. Ron

222
00:25:49,900 --> 00:25:56,860
congratulations you definitely moved the needle heard even at WTOP here in Washington is talking

223
00:25:56,860 --> 00:26:04,940
about how Ron raised a lot of money yesterday let's see red pill folder oh yeah

224
00:26:05,900 --> 00:26:17,340
accent as I said that's something for a few I'm curious bye oh yeah yeah I got some nice emails from people

225
00:26:19,100 --> 00:26:23,980
see Paul grass off man we're so happy to see the donations rolling yesterday I maxed out at

226
00:26:23,980 --> 00:26:31,820
$2,297 so that's almost the full amount possible looking forward to donating again in the

227
00:26:31,820 --> 00:26:37,340
general election after Dr. Ron wins the primary oh is that true can we donate again I guess we can right

228
00:26:37,340 --> 00:26:47,820
or not how does that work I'm so dumb yeah the only thing that that kind of pissed me off about

229
00:26:47,820 --> 00:26:55,180
about you know the way that this went down is the campaign you know it's it also we raised

230
00:26:55,180 --> 00:26:59,660
4 million or 5 million doesn't really matter but you know it came from 35,000 people and like you know

231
00:26:59,740 --> 00:27:05,100
that's not impressive now it it's kind of good because you know now we know that all we have to

232
00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:11,180
do is find another 30 or 35,000 people you know that's not that hard to do you know we can find that

233
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:20,540
but it just looks stupid you know and it gives people the the opportunity to say well you just

234
00:27:20,540 --> 00:27:26,380
got a core group of weirdos so I you know I would have advised against that you know I should be

235
00:27:26,380 --> 00:27:32,300
on the advisory committee I should build out these guys one way the other so I'm kind of I'm

236
00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:39,420
thinking now what should I can play another song or you don't know do it's shit it's a podcast so

237
00:27:40,940 --> 00:27:44,780
you can just fast forward if you don't like it this thing that I'm going to play for you

238
00:27:45,740 --> 00:27:56,700
oh my gosh let me just restart that for a second hold on I'm going to play this for you

239
00:27:56,700 --> 00:28:02,140
let me give you the length the length is 8 minutes so when this starts playing if you don't like it

240
00:28:02,140 --> 00:28:06,700
just shuttle ahead 8 minutes and you know I'll have some stuff at the end of the show um

241
00:28:07,900 --> 00:28:14,300
I've played this before I think well before the show even had a name daily source code I think

242
00:28:15,260 --> 00:28:21,260
and um because I've lived through some of the frustrations we're having right now I've lived through it

243
00:28:21,260 --> 00:28:30,620
before and George Carlin does a great thing like a great or did a great stand up um about airport

244
00:28:30,620 --> 00:28:37,500
security so this is before the TSA let me see if there's a date on this thing when this one this is from

245
00:28:38,380 --> 00:28:46,140
this has got to be mid 80s maybe early 80s of course it doesn't say anything here it was added to

246
00:28:46,140 --> 00:28:52,380
YouTube 10 months ago so now unfortunately I don't have any any information on when it's from but

247
00:28:52,380 --> 00:28:57,100
you'll you can tell because at the time he says you know you'll even hear him say well you

248
00:28:57,100 --> 00:29:01,500
you know you can take a knife on board at the time a pocket knife for a pen knife was acceptable so

249
00:29:01,500 --> 00:29:07,660
it's obviously pre 9-11 but have a listen 8 minutes I'll be back uh you probably won't

250
00:29:07,660 --> 00:29:12,540
want a shuttle through it because you're just going to be enthralled by how topical this is today

251
00:29:12,540 --> 00:29:17,340
at least 20 years after he's first said it you know I've been out here all this time and I haven't

252
00:29:17,340 --> 00:29:22,380
been complaining about anything yet I think it's time we moved right into the complaint department

253
00:29:23,100 --> 00:29:30,940
you know because listen this is just a series of things that are pissing me off all right

254
00:29:31,820 --> 00:29:36,700
because I don't have pet peeves I have major psychotic fucking hatreds all right

255
00:29:38,860 --> 00:29:43,820
I'll tell you this it makes the world a lot easier to sort out first thing I'm a list of

256
00:29:43,820 --> 00:29:49,500
night airport security tired of this shit there's too much of it there's too much security

257
00:29:49,500 --> 00:29:55,020
at the airport I'm tired of some guy with a double digit IQ and a triple digit income

258
00:29:55,020 --> 00:29:59,500
rooting around inside of my bag for no reason and never finding anything

259
00:30:00,140 --> 00:30:06,620
haven't found anything yet in anybody's bag I'm found one bomb in one bag and don't tell me

260
00:30:06,620 --> 00:30:10,780
well the terrorists know their bags are going to be searched so now they're leaving their bombs at home

261
00:30:10,780 --> 00:30:18,380
there are no bombs the whole thing is fucking pointless and it's completely without logic there's

262
00:30:18,380 --> 00:30:22,860
no logic at all they'll take away a gun but let you keep a knife what the fuck is that

263
00:30:23,340 --> 00:30:30,220
In fact there's a whole list of lethal objects they will allow you to take on board theoretically

264
00:30:30,220 --> 00:30:34,460
you can take a knife and a nice pick a hatchet a straight razor a pair of scissors a chain saw

265
00:30:34,460 --> 00:30:38,460
six knitting needles and a broken whiskey bottle and the only thing they're going to say

266
00:30:38,460 --> 00:30:43,260
the is that bag has to fit all the way under the seat in front of you and

267
00:30:45,740 --> 00:30:50,540
and if you didn't bring a weapon on board relax after you've been flying for about an hour

268
00:30:50,620 --> 00:30:56,620
they're going to bring you a knife and fork they actually give you a fucking knife

269
00:30:57,980 --> 00:31:01,340
it's only a table knife but you could kill a pilot with a table knife

270
00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:07,580
might take you a couple of minutes you know especially if he's hefty ham yeah

271
00:31:08,620 --> 00:31:12,220
but you can get the job done if you really want to kill a prick

272
00:31:13,820 --> 00:31:18,140
there's a lot of things you could use to kill a guy with you could probably beat a guy to death

273
00:31:18,140 --> 00:31:25,180
with a Sunday New York Times good year or suppose you just had really big hands couldn't

274
00:31:25,180 --> 00:31:29,740
you strangle a flight attendant should you could probably strangle two of them one with each hand

275
00:31:30,780 --> 00:31:33,580
you know if you were lucky enough to catch him in that little kitchen area

276
00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:40,620
before they break out the fucking peanuts you know but you could get the job done if you really

277
00:31:40,620 --> 00:31:47,500
cared enough so why is it they allow a guy with big powerful hands to get on board an airplane

278
00:31:48,860 --> 00:31:54,860
I'll tell you why they know he's not a security risk because he's already answered the three big

279
00:31:54,860 --> 00:31:55,580
questions

280
00:31:56,780 --> 00:31:59,820
question number one did you pack your bags yourself

281
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:07,500
no carrot top pack my bags

282
00:32:09,900 --> 00:32:15,660
he he and Martha Stewart and Florence Henderson came over to the house last night

283
00:32:16,460 --> 00:32:21,900
fixed me a lovely lobster new bird gave me a full-body massage with sacred oils from India

284
00:32:22,540 --> 00:32:28,540
performed a four-way around the world and then they packed my bags next question

285
00:32:36,220 --> 00:32:39,980
have your bags been in your possession the whole time no

286
00:32:41,500 --> 00:32:45,020
usually the night before I travel just as the moon is rising

287
00:32:46,300 --> 00:32:50,700
I place my suitcases out on the street corner and leave them there unattended for several hours

288
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:53,500
just for good luck

289
00:32:55,820 --> 00:32:56,860
next question

290
00:32:59,020 --> 00:33:02,140
has any unknown person asked you to take anything on board

291
00:33:04,460 --> 00:33:07,820
well what exactly is a unknown person

292
00:33:09,100 --> 00:33:11,020
surely everyone is known to someone

293
00:33:11,980 --> 00:33:15,740
in fact just this morning Karim and you Seth Ali Ben Gabba

294
00:33:17,820 --> 00:33:23,420
seemed to know each other quite well they kept joking about which one of my suitcases was the heaviest

295
00:33:25,260 --> 00:33:28,060
and that's another thing they don't like at the airport jokes

296
00:33:28,860 --> 00:33:34,700
you know yeah you can't joke about a bomb well why is it just jokes what about a riddle

297
00:33:35,020 --> 00:33:45,100
how about a limb rick how about a bomb anecdote you know no punchline just a really cute story

298
00:33:46,700 --> 00:33:51,100
or suppose you intended the remark not as a joke but as an ironic music

299
00:33:51,660 --> 00:33:59,100
are they prepared to make that distinction who I think not and besides who's to say what's funny

300
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:04,300
airport security is a stupid idea it's a waste of money and it's only there for one reason

301
00:34:04,300 --> 00:34:12,540
to make white people feel safe that's all the illusion the feeling and illusion of safety

302
00:34:12,540 --> 00:34:17,900
to placate the middle class because the authorities know they can't make an airplane completely safe

303
00:34:17,900 --> 00:34:22,380
too many people have access you'll notice the drugs mugglers don't seem to have a lot of trouble

304
00:34:22,380 --> 00:34:27,500
getting the little packages on board do they know and god bless them too

305
00:34:27,580 --> 00:34:39,020
yeah oh and by the way an airplane flight shouldn't be completely safe you need a little

306
00:34:39,020 --> 00:34:45,020
danger in your life take a fucking chance once in a while and yeah what are you going to do play

307
00:34:45,020 --> 00:34:49,980
with your prick for another 30 years what are you going to read people magazine and eat it

308
00:34:49,980 --> 00:34:56,860
Wendy's to the end of time take a fucking chance besides even if they made all the airplanes

309
00:34:56,940 --> 00:35:01,740
completely safe the terrorists would simply start bombing other places that are crowded

310
00:35:01,740 --> 00:35:08,380
pawn shops crack houses pitty bars and gang bans you know entertainment venues

311
00:35:09,420 --> 00:35:16,780
the odds of you being killed by a terrorist are practically zero so I say relax and enjoy the show

312
00:35:16,780 --> 00:35:22,220
you have to be a realist you have to be realistic about terrorism certain groups of people certain

313
00:35:22,860 --> 00:35:28,860
Muslim fundamentalist Christian fundamentalist Jewish fundamentalist and just plain guys from Montana

314
00:35:31,420 --> 00:35:37,260
are going to continue to make life in this country very interesting for a long long time that's the

315
00:35:37,260 --> 00:35:43,340
reality angry men in combat fatigue talking to god on a two-way radio and muttering

316
00:35:43,340 --> 00:35:48,380
incoherent slogans about freedom are eventually going to provide us with a great deal of entertainment

317
00:35:49,260 --> 00:35:54,700
especially after your stupid fucking economy collapses all around you and the terrorists come out of the

318
00:35:54,700 --> 00:35:59,340
woodwork you live anthrax in the water supply and siren gas in your air condition there'll be chemical

319
00:35:59,340 --> 00:36:05,020
and biological suitcase bombs in every city and I say enjoy it relax enjoy the show take a fucking

320
00:36:05,020 --> 00:36:11,980
chance put a little fun in your life to me terrorism is exciting it's exciting I think the very idea

321
00:36:11,980 --> 00:36:16,940
that you can set off a bomb in a marketplace and kill several hundred people is exciting and stimulating

322
00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:29,580
and I see it as a form of entertainment entertainment that's all it is yeah but but I also know

323
00:36:29,580 --> 00:36:34,380
that most Americans are soft and frightened and unimaginative and they don't realize there's such a

324
00:36:34,380 --> 00:36:40,220
thing as dangerous fun and they certainly don't recognize a good show when they see one I have always

325
00:36:40,220 --> 00:36:45,100
been willing to put myself a great personal risk for the sake of entertainment and I've always been

326
00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:50,460
willing to put you a great personal risk for the same reason far as I'm concerned all of this

327
00:36:50,460 --> 00:36:55,740
airport security all the searches, the screenings, the cameras, the questions it's just one more

328
00:36:55,740 --> 00:37:02,220
way of reducing your liberty and reminding you that they can fuck with you any time they want as long

329
00:37:02,220 --> 00:37:08,940
as you put up with it as long as you put up with it which means of course any time they want because

330
00:37:08,940 --> 00:37:13,580
that's what Americans do now they're always willing to trade away a little of their freedom in

331
00:37:13,580 --> 00:37:23,180
exchange for the feeling the illusion of security I hate fucking YouTube all right and ended a

332
