Costa, from Costa's world,

00:02.760 --> 00:06.280

00:12.680 --> 00:16.440

cast.

00:16.440 --> 00:19.240
You can exchange gifts, you can
exchange the socks,

00:19.240 --> 00:22.880
you can exchange fruit cake, but
you cannot exchange family.

00:22.880 --> 00:25.720
So make sure you check out this

00:25.720 --> 00:28.760
November 21st, 2007, and a
mouth.

00:30.960 --> 00:35.000
It was $16 million worth of
airplane strapped to my ass.

00:35.000 --> 00:39.000
It's been the next generation
radio content in my ears.

00:41.000 --> 00:44.000
I like to think I'm flying into
the future.

00:44.000 --> 00:46.000
Fantastic.

00:46.000 --> 00:47.000
It's a memory.

00:47.000 --> 00:49.000
Hey, Ramadil, isn't it?

00:49.000 --> 00:53.000
Korean with a DSC, six, eight,
is three.

00:53.000 --> 03:40.620
[ Music ]

03:40.620 --> 04:07.900
I was trying to find any kind of
substitute I could as a cowbell
banging my lighter on on the

04:07.900 --> 04:13.140
baker's rack that is known as
the studio here in the condo
trying it on on the laptop

04:13.140 --> 04:19.060
tried it on the cup nothing
nothing suffice nothing came
even close okay it's officially

04:19.060 --> 04:24.700
still Wednesday evening here in
San Francisco so you're
hopefully here in this on
Thursday

04:24.700 --> 04:29.140
I'm getting a little tired it's
nearing the end of the trip you
know it's been on

04:29.140 --> 04:34.340
been a full week now and of
course it's been nonstop but I
didn't even have a weekend to

04:34.500 --> 04:43.340
really relax I got a nice cup of
tea here I actually have having
like dizzy spells

04:43.340 --> 04:51.180
I think I'm overdoing it all
righty lots of stuff to talk
about today because there's

04:51.180 --> 04:54.940
a lot going on in the world
actually first of all there's a
lot going on in my world

04:54.940 --> 05:02.060
may I just say I am completely
loving my Macintosh you know I
of course I've been

05:02.780 --> 05:09.740
a lifetime Mac user since my dad
brought home the first Apple to
I've basically been

05:09.740 --> 05:15.100
a lifetime beta tester and live
through everything and I think
it's it's you know coming

05:15.100 --> 05:19.660
up to this point and the machine
that they've delivered to me now
I have to say it's been

05:19.660 --> 05:28.140
worth it 20 years or whatever of
buying Apple to crap a lot of it
crap but that's just you

05:28.140 --> 05:33.900
know just the evolution I guess
and this machine so I how long
was on Windows I went away let's

05:33.900 --> 05:38.300
see I went away when the power
book G4 came out and it had that
audio problem and Apple

05:38.300 --> 05:42.780
wouldn't acknowledge it or
couldn't acknowledge it whatever
the problem was and there was no

05:42.780 --> 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

05:52.300 --> 05:56.220
and of course I was happy to use
cast blaster which I'm using
right now as well on my

05:56.300 --> 06:01.340
via laptop which is now become a
basically the studio and doesn't
leave the baker's rack anymore

06:01.340 --> 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

06:08.460 --> 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

06:12.300 --> 06:17.820
proficient Windows user and a
pretty good judge of of
switching over to the Mac and it
is like

06:17.820 --> 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

06:23.820 --> 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

06:31.580 --> 06:37.180
and I've got four gigs of RAM
things stacked it just works you
know all of this networking

06:37.180 --> 06:43.660
stuff I have to do a lot of
networking between machines
that's really easy now I love
the backup

06:43.660 --> 06:48.220
I love just plugging in a drive
and you know just unplugging it
whenever I feel like it and
knowing

06:48.220 --> 06:52.940
that everything's backed up
through time machine I actually
needed to store a couple of
files to

06:52.940 --> 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

06:57.100 --> 07:01.020
on my dot Mac account you know
and it synchronized nicely on
the background

07:01.900 --> 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

07:06.700 --> 07:10.940
Unix fan and by the way that's
one thing that is rarely
discussed anymore this thing is
it

07:10.940 --> 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

07:17.420 --> 07:22.140
I can do Unix stuff I still love
doing some stuff in just command
line because it's so incredibly
fast

07:22.140 --> 07:27.180
you know doing stuff with files
copying them piping them piping
them out to some other command

07:27.180 --> 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

07:33.500 --> 07:40.220
probably laughing at this moment
aren't you so let's see what
shall we what shall we start
with

07:41.100 --> 07:47.100
I probably the what everyone has
been talking about today is that
several countries are now
looking

07:47.100 --> 07:53.900
at dumping the dollar so this is
a big follow the money big big
big follow the money part here

07:54.460 --> 07:59.340
and I want to say that yesterday
I saw this news article and of
course I didn't do a show

07:59.340 --> 08:06.780
yesterday or today or whatever
the hell it is for you tomorrow
down under I saw this article
that

08:06.780 --> 08:13.900
the FDA had either proposed a
bill or a bill was being
proposed or they were you know I
don't

08:13.980 --> 08:17.660
know maybe they could do it
whenever they want but the whole
idea was there was going to be a

08:17.660 --> 08:25.420
long that the FDA could in the
future could create a mandatory
recall of products now of course

08:25.420 --> 08:28.860
the only products that have
really been recalled that's been
that have been in the news
recently

08:28.860 --> 08:34.300
have been products from China
and it's really fucked up some
you know some Chinese companies

08:35.100 --> 08:38.780
you know these big recalls of
course granted that you know
there was shoddy stuff there was

08:39.340 --> 08:43.740
poisonous and all kinds of stuff
that was wrong with their
product and quite honestly

08:43.740 --> 08:46.620
I think a lot of products coming
out of China at the moment
actually aren't that

08:47.740 --> 08:53.500
high of quality but this of
course is you know that's
basically the government saying
hey China

08:53.500 --> 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

08:58.060 --> 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

09:02.460 --> 09:08.780
that shit that's pretty
dangerous and low and behold
today the news comes out let me
just see

09:09.660 --> 09:17.020
China is talking about divesting
some of its one point something
would uh one point I got that

09:17.020 --> 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

09:25.020 --> 09:34.540
euros or or uh or yen for that
matter if you put anything they
want but there's a couple

09:34.540 --> 09:41.740
so and this of course sent the
stock market spiraling the
dollar is now again a new low
against the

09:41.740 --> 09:48.780
euro meanwhile oil is it you
know the clothes that close to
almost a hundred dollars of
barrel

09:48.780 --> 09:53.180
I'm do remember talking about
this being a hundred dollars of
barrel by the end of the year

09:53.180 --> 09:57.660
I should see if I blog that
somewhere if I can find the
audio snippet from when I
predicted that

09:59.980 --> 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

10:05.740 --> 10:10.300
a couple of things that are
traded in dollars worldwide
aircraft happens to be one of
them which is

10:10.300 --> 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

10:15.820 --> 10:22.300
every day to buy really nice
airplanes so that's that would
be considered good my vantage
point

10:22.460 --> 10:28.860
not so good though is that oil
has always been traded in
dollars and so because the
dollar is

10:28.860 --> 10:35.260
so unstable and unfortunately
it's unstable in the wrong
direction you know oil gets more
expensive

10:35.260 --> 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

10:45.420 --> 10:50.860
a little bit other countries you
know they'd like to do some
things like maybe buy oil in a

10:50.860 --> 10:56.140
different currency and this is
that this is the big danger
that's taking place I think
right in

10:56.140 --> 11:04.220
front of our eyes this is a
great article written by Jessica
Hub who sent this to me someone
who

11:04.220 --> 11:12.780
was really on the ball oh
Michelle Michelle Blasky of
course so here are seven
countries considering

11:12.780 --> 11:19.740
abandoning the US dollar and and
of course that is what it means
is not good news Saudi Arabia

11:21.740 --> 11:26.300
I'm just gonna paraphrase a
couple of these telegraph
reports the first time Saudi
Arabia has refused to

11:26.300 --> 11:31.900
cut interest rates along with
the US federal reserve that
means they're breaking away from
the currency

11:31.900 --> 11:38.460
that's pretty significant South
Korea in 2005 South Korea
announced its intention to shift
its

11:38.460 --> 11:45.420
investments to currencies of
countries other than the US so
there are whispers that the bank
of

11:45.420 --> 11:53.740
Korea is planning on selling one
billion US bonds in the very
near future China here we go
after

11:53.740 --> 11:58.620
already dropping the dollar peg
that means you know basically
having their their currency
trade

11:58.620 --> 12:05.340
along you know if the dollar
goes up then they move theirs up
that was a 2005 China has more
trouble

12:05.340 --> 12:09.900
a bit sleeve currently China is
threatening a nuclear option of
huge dollar with a calling it a

12:09.900 --> 12:14.620
nuclear option of huge dollar
liquidation in response to
possible trade sanctions that's
what I was

12:15.100 --> 12:21.100
telling you about if they really
dumped a whole bunch of dollars
in the market they could take
the

12:21.100 --> 12:29.340
dollar out Venezuela by the way
you know how Bush hate shove is
well Venezuela holds a little

12:29.340 --> 12:36.620
loyalty to the dollar in fact
they've shown over disapproval
choosing to establish barter
deals for oil

12:37.580 --> 12:46.220
so that's moving away from the
dollar Sudan Iran Russia so what
this means is that if these

12:46.220 --> 12:51.660
countries start abandoning the
dollar you know there's just
going to be a huge supply of
dollars

12:51.660 --> 12:56.700
and supply and demand you know
says well look if there's all of
a sudden there's a surge in

12:56.700 --> 13:05.420
availability the price will go
down that's basic market
economics so it can get much
much worse

13:06.860 --> 13:13.420
and I think we're seeing a whole
bunch of shit happening at the
same time here you know

13:13.420 --> 13:19.420
I'm also hearing and reading
about all kinds of impeachment
who sent me this this was
another email

13:19.420 --> 13:26.860
that just blew my mind this was
from oh boy it's now it's really
weird that I have

13:26.860 --> 13:34.140
trying to operate my windows
machine here we go national
lawyers guild

13:35.100 --> 13:38.540
votes for impeachment of
president Bush and vice
president Cheney

13:39.820 --> 13:44.780
surge jersey Todd could you fill
me in on what that means is the
national lawyers guild

13:44.780 --> 13:50.460
is that like as powerful as the
national writers guild Danny
Boyle thank you for sending that

13:50.460 --> 13:57.500
appreciate it what else and it's
just all kinds it's it's one
thing after another

13:58.300 --> 14:06.540

listen you really got to listen
to what what is in the most
recent

14:13.980 --> 14:21.420
episode let me see talking about
basically the privatization of
the government services

14:22.060 --> 14:28.380
did you know that there are
special insurance companies that
for you know extra you know

14:28.380 --> 14:34.860
for like exorbitant fees we'll
have airplanes and all kinds of
stuff on standby in the

14:34.860 --> 14:40.460
case of some horrible disaster
or terrorist attack and only if
you're insured will you you

14:40.460 --> 14:45.820
are you guaranteed safe passage
to get out I mean there's all
kinds of just crazy as shit
going on

14:46.700 --> 14:52.860
and I don't know do you feel
sometimes the walls just closing
in a little bit on you and like

14:52.860 --> 14:54.780
what the hell is going on in the
world

14:56.940 --> 14:58.620
tapping to me just a little bit

14:59.900 --> 15:06.540
yo Adam this is Oscar speaking
from the metal there you asker
so here this big brother is

15:06.540 --> 15:11.900
watching you from your two mm so
you thought you were on the on
the blacklist in the US

15:12.460 --> 15:20.940
now here's what's in the
newspaper the Euro commissioner
Mr. Fratini is a metalian guy

15:21.660 --> 15:28.140
has a few new plans which kind
of stirred up the European
Parliament it's such a very fine
way

15:28.700 --> 15:35.740
he actually wants the same kind
of chicks and systems like they
have in the US now

15:36.620 --> 15:44.060
which means basically that all
passenger identification
information credit card numbers

15:44.060 --> 15:49.820
what's your seat what kind of
meal are you having all these
kinds of stuff is going to be

15:49.820 --> 15:59.820
process also in Europe at least
that's the proposal this also
means eventually it also means

16:00.700 --> 16:07.260
fingerprints when you come into
country see what kind of stuff
you have what kind of stuff

16:07.260 --> 16:16.060
you're carrying and even a full
body scan is in the plan so
basically we're taking it to the
next

16:16.060 --> 16:26.300
level full body scans well try

Texas hey just want to let you

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

16:54.780 --> 17:01.420
the thing is I have this little
FM transmitter that I set up and
I have some playlist software

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

17:14.940 --> 17:20.860

neighbors may just call the FCC
and that'll get me into a big
trouble

in case you want there I'm a
Belgian citizen living in the US

18:51.980 --> 18:58.380
Adam hey I just was listening to
actually you're a no agenda
podcast I was listening to the
AC

18:58.380 --> 19:03.180
oh thank you yeah that's no
agenda dot pod show dot com john
to war can I clutching

19:03.180 --> 19:08.780
I was just listening to you guys
talk about the hulu website I've
actually been involved

19:08.780 --> 19:14.620
I haven't got I signed up for
beta months ago and still
haven't received anything
problem on that

19:14.620 --> 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

19:20.300 --> 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

19:27.260 --> 19:34.060
that you know people of the
press and someone in the press
is apparently impressed with
hulu dot

19:34.060 --> 19:39.260
com because a good buzz about it
I'm hearing about it everywhere
you know just not just from
people

19:39.260 --> 19:43.660
in the media business but people
like in the venture capital
business and there's even like
wow you

19:43.660 --> 19:48.060
know what's it going to do to
YouTube and first thing I say
it's something completely
different from

19:48.060 --> 19:53.020
YouTube you know these guys are
about popularizing media
YouTube's about democratizing
media

19:53.020 --> 19:58.060
two very different businesses
and different business models so
you couldn't get one either

19:58.060 --> 20:02.140
I thought if you read the blog
you can see a lot of things that
people are saying about it

20:02.860 --> 20:08.620
they've actually taken down
almost 200 posts of negative
comments that people have about

20:09.260 --> 20:17.580
really what's it uh okay so
they're taking away the negative
comments that might explain why

20:17.660 --> 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

20:23.740 --> 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

20:30.140 --> 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

20:36.860 --> 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

20:44.460 --> 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

20:49.420 --> 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

20:54.780 --> 20:58.860
and you can have a really pretty
good experience watching some
stuff and I think I told you
about

20:58.860 --> 21:05.660
madman that American movie
channel series I've now
purchased every single episode
of the first series

21:05.660 --> 21:09.900
love it I've watched every
single one I've been watching
like two or three episodes in
night yeah

21:09.900 --> 21:19.100
just like before before I go
fall asleep just watch a couple
episodes so it was my point
about

21:19.100 --> 21:23.980
Hulu yeah I hope they do a good
job because I want to be able to
watch their shows online

21:25.180 --> 21:32.220
I really would I'm not quite
sure how they're I wonder if the
writer strike is is tied into

21:32.220 --> 21:36.620
this somehow they're not
releasing publicly yet it could
be possible

21:37.100 --> 21:42.780
oh yes the writer strike had a
long chat with Marc Yoshimo to
Namcoff yesterday he's the
closest

21:42.780 --> 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

21:50.140 --> 21:54.460
we were just shooting a shit
about what could happen and what
the possibilities were and you
know there's

21:54.460 --> 22:00.460
lots of people say well you know
they're gonna want some of your
content like fuck him let them
die

22:01.340 --> 22:05.020
I'm sorry they gotta figure it
out for themselves you know
that's their industry

22:06.620 --> 22:10.700
hopefully more people just get
interested in what we're doing
and shuttle on over here you
know

22:11.740 --> 22:17.260
I honestly I have watched so
little television while I've
been here it's I'm this is just

22:17.260 --> 22:25.740
more interesting stuff online I
can't help it okay let's see
what do we have here oh yeah
this

22:25.740 --> 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

22:39.020 --> 22:44.060
I had them for the pick program
I hear from San Francisco I know
just you've been bringing

22:44.060 --> 22:53.420
out calls for Iranians to call
in and listen to you and you run
well my father is Iranian

22:54.380 --> 23:03.180
and I'm British but I am also
half Lebanese um just thought
I'd let you know that and uh

23:03.180 --> 23:12.140
cheers I guess I oh fuck you
yeah fuck you too thank you I
meant a little bit I

23:12.140 --> 23:16.460
appreciate a prolific program
but I'm really looking for
someone who lives in Iran you
know someone

23:16.460 --> 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

23:23.020 --> 23:29.020
to a series a slideshow an
almost never ending slideshow um
of pictures of Iran

23:29.820 --> 23:35.020
and I'm just I'm gonna presume
that they're all pictures of
Iran what what a beautiful
country

23:35.020 --> 23:43.100
what an unbelievably stunningly
beautiful country you have to
look at these pictures you will
not be

23:43.100 --> 23:49.500
disappointed is just it's lovely
and it just it helps me to you
know get a different perspective
on

23:49.580 --> 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

23:55.980 --> 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

24:01.740 --> 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

24:10.140 --> 24:18.220
third term by removing the uh
with the hell is it article 22
or something like that and
there's

24:18.300 --> 24:24.380
you know boy if you if you
google that google George Bush's
third term oh man that's a whole

24:24.380 --> 24:28.940
another conspiracy theory
there's just too many conspiracy
theories that are just too
fucking easy

24:28.940 --> 24:34.300
to turn into good into
conspiracy theories there's
gotta be some truth to this
something really

24:34.300 --> 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

24:42.940 --> 24:49.180
finances and numbers and and
organizational charts but I've
had this knack and Ron and I've
had

24:49.180 --> 24:55.420
you know companies with 700
people uh and right now I think
you know pod show is pretty big
with about

24:55.420 --> 25:03.900
90 95 to 100 people I have a
knack of being able to feel
where things aren't quite
working or

25:04.940 --> 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

25:11.260 --> 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

25:16.460 --> 25:21.820
I can smell it all around me
right now there's just something
really really really funky going
on

25:23.900 --> 25:29.980
the red pills are coursing
throughout my veins my friends I
tell you hey Adam it's atomic
right

25:29.980 --> 25:38.220
Adam's here you're a favorite
red pill pooping atomic energy
expert I'm standing looking down

25:38.220 --> 25:43.260
over watching DC from right next
to the on international cemetery
looking at the air force

25:43.260 --> 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

25:49.900 --> 25:56.860
congratulations you definitely
moved the needle heard even at
WTOP here in Washington is
talking

25:56.860 --> 26:04.940
about how Ron raised a lot of
money yesterday let's see red
pill folder oh yeah

26:05.900 --> 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

26:19.100 --> 26:23.980
see Paul grass off man we're so
happy to see the donations
rolling yesterday I maxed out at

26:23.980 --> 26:31.820
$2,297 so that's almost the full
amount possible looking forward
to donating again in the

26:31.820 --> 26:37.340
general election after Dr. Ron
wins the primary oh is that true
can we donate again I guess we
can right

26:37.340 --> 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

26:47.820 --> 26:55.180
about you know the way that this
went down is the campaign you
know it's it also we raised

26:55.180 --> 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

26:59.740 --> 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

27:05.100 --> 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

27:15.500 --> 27:20.540
but it just looks stupid you
know and it gives people the the
opportunity to say well you just

27:20.540 --> 27:26.380
got a core group of weirdos so I
you know I would have advised
against that you know I should
be

27:26.380 --> 27:32.300
on the advisory committee I
should build out these guys one
way the other so I'm kind of I'm

27:32.300 --> 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

27:40.940 --> 27:44.780
you can just fast forward if you
don't like it this thing that
I'm going to play for you

27:45.740 --> 27:56.700
oh my gosh let me just restart
that for a second hold on I'm
going to play this for you

27:56.700 --> 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

28:02.140 --> 28:06.700
just shuttle ahead 8 minutes and
you know I'll have some stuff at
the end of the show um

28:07.900 --> 28:14.300
I've played this before I think
well before the show even had a
name daily source code I think

28:15.260 --> 28:21.260
and um because I've lived
through some of the frustrations
we're having right now I've
lived through it

28:21.260 --> 28:30.620
before and George Carlin does a
great thing like a great or did
a great stand up um about
airport

28:30.620 --> 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

28:38.380 --> 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

28:46.140 --> 28:52.380
YouTube 10 months ago so now
unfortunately I don't have any
any information on when it's
from but

28:52.380 --> 28:57.100
you'll you can tell because at
the time he says you know you'll
even hear him say well you

28:57.100 --> 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

29:01.500 --> 29:07.660
it's obviously pre 9-11 but have
a listen 8 minutes I'll be back
uh you probably won't

29:07.660 --> 29:12.540
want a shuttle through it
because you're just going to be
enthralled by how topical this
is today

29:12.540 --> 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

29:17.340 --> 29:22.380
been complaining about anything
yet I think it's time we moved
right into the complaint
department

29:23.100 --> 29:30.940
you know because listen this is
just a series of things that are
pissing me off all right

29:31.820 --> 29:36.700
because I don't have pet peeves
I have major psychotic fucking
hatreds all right

29:38.860 --> 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

29:43.820 --> 29:49.500
night airport security tired of
this shit there's too much of it
there's too much security

29:49.500 --> 29:55.020
at the airport I'm tired of some
guy with a double digit IQ and a
triple digit income

29:55.020 --> 29:59.500
rooting around inside of my bag
for no reason and never finding
anything

30:00.140 --> 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

30:06.620 --> 30:10.780
well the terrorists know their
bags are going to be searched so
now they're leaving their bombs
at home

30:10.780 --> 30:18.380
there are no bombs the whole
thing is fucking pointless and
it's completely without logic
there's

30:18.380 --> 30:22.860
no logic at all they'll take
away a gun but let you keep a
knife what the fuck is that

30:23.340 --> 30:30.220
In fact there's a whole list of
lethal objects they will allow
you to take on board
theoretically

30:30.220 --> 30:34.460
you can take a knife and a nice
pick a hatchet a straight razor
a pair of scissors a chain saw

30:34.460 --> 30:38.460
six knitting needles and a
broken whiskey bottle and the
only thing they're going to say

30:38.460 --> 30:43.260
the is that bag has to fit all
the way under the seat in front
of you and

30:45.740 --> 30:50.540
and if you didn't bring a weapon
on board relax after you've been
flying for about an hour

30:50.620 --> 30:56.620
they're going to bring you a
knife and fork they actually
give you a fucking knife

30:57.980 --> 31:01.340
it's only a table knife but you
could kill a pilot with a table
knife

31:02.700 --> 31:07.580
might take you a couple of
minutes you know especially if
he's hefty ham yeah

31:08.620 --> 31:12.220
but you can get the job done if
you really want to kill a prick

31:13.820 --> 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

31:18.140 --> 31:25.180
with a Sunday New York Times
good year or suppose you just
had really big hands couldn't

31:25.180 --> 31:29.740
you strangle a flight attendant
should you could probably
strangle two of them one with
each hand

31:30.780 --> 31:33.580
you know if you were lucky
enough to catch him in that
little kitchen area

31:34.700 --> 31:40.620
before they break out the
fucking peanuts you know but you
could get the job done if you
really

31:40.620 --> 31:47.500
cared enough so why is it they
allow a guy with big powerful
hands to get on board an
airplane

31:48.860 --> 31:54.860
I'll tell you why they know he's
not a security risk because he's
already answered the three big

31:54.860 --> 31:55.580
questions

31:56.780 --> 31:59.820
question number one did you pack
your bags yourself

32:04.300 --> 32:07.500
no carrot top pack my bags

32:09.900 --> 32:15.660
he he and Martha Stewart and
Florence Henderson came over to
the house last night

32:16.460 --> 32:21.900
fixed me a lovely lobster new
bird gave me a full-body massage
with sacred oils from India

32:22.540 --> 32:28.540
performed a four-way around the
world and then they packed my
bags next question

32:36.220 --> 32:39.980
have your bags been in your
possession the whole time no

32:41.500 --> 32:45.020
usually the night before I
travel just as the moon is
rising

32:46.300 --> 32:50.700
I place my suitcases out on the
street corner and leave them
there unattended for several
hours

32:52.300 --> 32:53.500
just for good luck

32:55.820 --> 32:56.860
next question

32:59.020 --> 33:02.140
has any unknown person asked you
to take anything on board

33:04.460 --> 33:07.820
well what exactly is a unknown
person

33:09.100 --> 33:11.020
surely everyone is known to
someone

33:11.980 --> 33:15.740
in fact just this morning Karim
and you Seth Ali Ben Gabba

33:17.820 --> 33:23.420
seemed to know each other quite
well they kept joking about
which one of my suitcases was
the heaviest

33:25.260 --> 33:28.060
and that's another thing they
don't like at the airport jokes

33:28.860 --> 33:34.700
you know yeah you can't joke
about a bomb well why is it just
jokes what about a riddle

33:35.020 --> 33:45.100
how about a limb rick how about
a bomb anecdote you know no
punchline just a really cute
story

33:46.700 --> 33:51.100
or suppose you intended the
remark not as a joke but as an
ironic music

33:51.660 --> 33:59.100
are they prepared to make that
distinction who I think not and
besides who's to say what's
funny

33:59.100 --> 34:04.300
airport security is a stupid
idea it's a waste of money and
it's only there for one reason

34:04.300 --> 34:12.540
to make white people feel safe
that's all the illusion the
feeling and illusion of safety

34:12.540 --> 34:17.900
to placate the middle class
because the authorities know
they can't make an airplane
completely safe

34:17.900 --> 34:22.380
too many people have access
you'll notice the drugs mugglers
don't seem to have a lot of
trouble

34:22.380 --> 34:27.500
getting the little packages on
board do they know and god bless
them too

34:27.580 --> 34:39.020
yeah oh and by the way an
airplane flight shouldn't be
completely safe you need a
little

34:39.020 --> 34:45.020
danger in your life take a
fucking chance once in a while
and yeah what are you going to
do play

34:45.020 --> 34:49.980
with your prick for another 30
years what are you going to read
people magazine and eat it

34:49.980 --> 34:56.860
Wendy's to the end of time take
a fucking chance besides even if
they made all the airplanes

34:56.940 --> 35:01.740
completely safe the terrorists
would simply start bombing other
places that are crowded

35:01.740 --> 35:08.380
pawn shops crack houses pitty
bars and gang bans you know
entertainment venues

35:09.420 --> 35:16.780
the odds of you being killed by
a terrorist are practically zero
so I say relax and enjoy the
show

35:16.780 --> 35:22.220
you have to be a realist you
have to be realistic about
terrorism certain groups of
people certain

35:22.860 --> 35:28.860
Muslim fundamentalist Christian
fundamentalist Jewish
fundamentalist and just plain
guys from Montana

35:31.420 --> 35:37.260
are going to continue to make
life in this country very
interesting for a long long time
that's the

35:37.260 --> 35:43.340
reality angry men in combat
fatigue talking to god on a
two-way radio and muttering

35:43.340 --> 35:48.380
incoherent slogans about freedom
are eventually going to provide
us with a great deal of
entertainment

35:49.260 --> 35:54.700
especially after your stupid
fucking economy collapses all
around you and the terrorists
come out of the

35:54.700 --> 35:59.340
woodwork you live anthrax in the
water supply and siren gas in
your air condition there'll be
chemical

35:59.340 --> 36:05.020
and biological suitcase bombs in
every city and I say enjoy it
relax enjoy the show take a
fucking

36:05.020 --> 36:11.980
chance put a little fun in your
life to me terrorism is exciting
it's exciting I think the very
idea

36:11.980 --> 36:16.940
that you can set off a bomb in a
marketplace and kill several
hundred people is exciting and
stimulating

36:17.100 --> 36:29.580
and I see it as a form of
entertainment entertainment
that's all it is yeah but but I
also know

36:29.580 --> 36:34.380
that most Americans are soft and
frightened and unimaginative and
they don't realize there's such
a

36:34.380 --> 36:40.220
thing as dangerous fun and they
certainly don't recognize a good
show when they see one I have
always

36:40.220 --> 36:45.100
been willing to put myself a
great personal risk for the sake
of entertainment and I've always
been

36:45.100 --> 36:50.460
willing to put you a great
personal risk for the same
reason far as I'm concerned all
of this

36:50.460 --> 36:55.740
airport security all the
searches, the screenings, the
cameras, the questions it's just
one more

36:55.740 --> 37:02.220
way of reducing your liberty and
reminding you that they can fuck
with you any time they want as
long

37:02.220 --> 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

37:08.940 --> 37:13.580
that's what Americans do now
they're always willing to trade
away a little of their freedom
in

37:13.580 --> 37:23.180
exchange for the feeling the
illusion of security I hate
