1:30 pm
i mean there but it goes under. yeah you know this is the locus of day and a lot of this that she represents nothing johan's classic american novel and a lot of dystopian nightmare hollywood nice and thirty's and the death of the american dream are we any good. is america reach to engage like say the locusts and we just started in a new century the twenty first century is it also going to be the american century . so explain to me kind of course you know like a classic car something good look. at the sixty five right here the british race car no no it's got to be like america and it's got a screen america. sixty six most oh right verbal it's got every.
1:31 pm
classic it's got the power it's fantastic i love it's got that steve mcqueen bowl of vibe but i think something a little more guns bigger guns oh big. although it's a. six. yes this is it this is a chair i think we found our vehicle right here my associate dr gonzo will be piling the vehicle this says america. wide open it's a muscle car we don't care about gas prices we just get more gas wherever we go we'll just get more it's no problem this is like the sort of car you drive off the grand canyon yeah it's almost always made songstress thompson and it's kind of like a gonzo meets louise it's going to when we this is very hunter s. thompson here it goes catcher yeah we'll take it.
1:32 pm
yeah. right back to see the las vegas strip right ahead we are entering vegas in a car that hunter s. thompson would be proud of the one nine hundred sixty five cadillac coupe de ville . fill in the mail the spirit i feel as a guiding hand i feel the syntax i feel those long strings of adjectives put together i wonder if lopes a diversion of aggression heading to the immersive quality alerts to go so those who were inventing journalism. we made it. we're going gone. how can we go gonzo when you're already gone so i'm so go there for soloing i don't know but you go. i love the neon i love the love the night sky and the stars above i
1:33 pm
love the fakery i love the fountains. it's so fake it's real the out of this world we're world think is real real frank you don't really know you know the vegas is fake and that's what's real about it. you know warren buffett always says if you don't know who the sucker at the poker table is it's you it's here it's like people know the software and they come to vegas any way they like have to like being a sucker this weekend it's going to feel good i think. vegas is also like the whole voting process now. you know going in that the house always wins it's like there's some sort of elite that always gets its way they always get all their wars they always get all their bailouts no matter what but you feel good is like the whole the whole you know bread and circuses atmosphere around this like my party is going to win and yet and you know you deep down you're the sucker and you . they're never going to deliver on their promises. but you still do it doesn't
1:34 pm
this car kind of remind you of the vehicle in which john f. kennedy was assassinated open top to go. crowded causeway lot of positions right there as a grassy knolls everywhere i remember nine hundred sixty to me it was three years old and i remember everything went black everything went dark everything when though kind of like whispering corridors and great great shadow fell over the country. confusing the sixty's progressed in that way and then we had watergate the seventy's so politically i went there this messy period water gave you no more a lot of people say that this is some sort of uniquely scary period in u.s. history but i only know the sixty's mostly from. the images and the documentaries and the footage but it seems like it must have been way scarier back than because you had the assassination of
1:35 pm
a president yet the assassination of the civil rights movement martin luther king jr malcolm x. you had all the race riots it seems like that was a genuinely more melt down sort of period it was then you know the news business had to be more responsible like walter cronkite he couldn't really play the partisan games that we see newscasters today because he was the only connection you had with reality with what was really going on so he would never think of using the opportunity to throw an election as you see today with fox or amazon to say oh look at this even have these pushbutton and the only like four or five options on the radio. i'm not sure that more options has made us a better informed population or a better entertained population c.b.s. n.b.c. yeah. you know don imus in the morning i missed. in the morning. at c.b.s.
1:36 pm
radio all the classics from the fifty's and sixty's there's a thousand t.v. stations a thousand radio stations and i feel some pressed them. too much it is a slow down. oh nice feel like the way i press the breaks here you know i did say this is like a maggot car but the past the greatness that america was wasn't ever really that great because the fact is this car doesn't quite break that well and it does fishtail all over the road but we look fine well to see inside the mind i think this is like looking into the mind of the american soldier honey honey honey break i'm sorry. you know i think maybe focus on the little break. might be going to hear your backseat driver i didn't know that about you. i've been
1:37 pm
watching you drive for years now and i really learned to appreciate how well you drive so the occasional misstep i notice is kind of stands out you can always drive of course but i don't have a driver's license his license and the like fifteen or sixteen twenty five years now hunter s. thompson why didn't let something like a driver's license come between him and driving it a cadillac could develop as part of the charm of this car is the fact that it's very dangerous you might not possibly be able to break it in time to stop from hitting the car in front of you before you might fishtail across the lanes on the highway you have to be self aware. otherwise you could end up in a tragic wreck those correction the fifty's or sixty's are so much more spectacular because you have like body splayed everywhere blood cures gushing into these days because it's so well manufactured everything is contained a bubble falls off everybody is safe nothing really happened there but air bags deploy there's a real danger in cars anymore. it's like being in a crib
1:38 pm
a baby crib this car's dangerous you can get killed in this car you could lose a limb in a car you could i lose all your blood in this car not so with the modern car that's it makes this car a better car because it makes this car more tragically real you're on the pavement you feel the pain but i can feel it below my feet right now and i can feel the engine flopping and i can feel this wind shield is about the crack in my face in the last race being a million different ways and i'm loving it because it's god and that will come to. you know. he's a rider big in the seventy's travel all over america. everyone the soul of freaks and charlatans and con men and geniuses that darn near what you're trying to do me define america is equal part three in genius or is it just all god fearing normal people life return element of american character that's freaky.
1:39 pm
i think of america there's a lot of pretty women yeah i think there are some people that are. sort of. more reserved about their heart it more but overall i think it's more like a lot of people want to do it the people who are doing it want to kind of be whatever you want to have a very good year for most response i mean is it safe to live here anymore do you think. the word is the worst things contributing to that have. money money money money drug money too much money too much just too much money it's making people crazy because there's too much money where's the money where the money comes from pretty freely so you're anti federal reserve. you're if you want more money for the for yourself you want some of the friends of mine to use it since it is committing sins. you can see not yet not yet you all do
1:40 pm
you like me no no yeah quick question this lead to violence here is big in america used to feel safe here. not just feel safe feel like a bubble merry about it sure you get. to. be a go go dancer in your own cities or in the nineteen eighties like seventy's early eighty's lesbian bar take up the movement of the thing. well. enough so i like all that i got the legs for a lot of women would kill for legs like mine.
1:41 pm
join me every so straight on the alex salmond chill and i'll be speaking to get out of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic to follow to the only place really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. i've been saying the numbers mean something a matter of us is over twenty trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar
1:42 pm
crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent raise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit for sharks and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial plant but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember one one doesn't show you can't afford to miss the one and only. in the united states we proactively work brominated flame retardants to be put into furniture and marketing among other things and that's resulted in extremely higher levels all those flame returns in the human bodies of americans as opposed to europeans and that ultimately has affected the cognitive outcomes of literally
1:43 pm
1:44 pm
people would come here and have a cocktail the watching the nuclear explosion on the horizon from the news the nevada nuclear test and saying i know who's getting tourism fantastic comic bombs on the rise of the mushroom clouds of us to be glorious i had a really weird dream that alexander was in our bedroom painting. and i woke up and he was just standing there painting these exploding bank paintings what is think of you know your name server of culture obviously you're an artist why do you think people came here to watch nuclear explosions oh my god because they didn't have cable nets. i don't know. they had no idea how unhealthy it was and it was cool like people love watching stuff blow up i mean come on they blow up all these old hotels out here it's like the same energy. right so is there something perhaps entertaining about watching disaster unfold watching
1:45 pm
say trump in the white house or watching a nuclear explosion on the horizon hell yeah i mean as long as there's just you know people that want to. rev their car engines up and bet on anything and you know we love all this just this kind of self-destruction going on out here it's part of our. it's part of our american d.n.a. and and just blow things up. i mean explosions are in our national anthem right bombs bursting in air for god's sake. that was not sent out. i mean i just think vegas is the epitome of america trump is a pin in my eyes is america and you know it's for better or worse this is this what's happened and it's creative destruction. essentially right isn't that kind of like
1:46 pm
wrote that book disaster capitalism. klein right they only collide just to get it's sort of a sort of a nihilistic horrifying end of that economic theory about dig a hole and fill it up and that's keynesianism yeah but then the schumpeter the economist wrote about creative destruction yeah they need to blow things up as they can get rid of the old and bring in the new has a nuclear explosion coming because you know i need to know how intense my sunglasses need to be these are the lighter ones fortunately you know it's a good safe mile or two away as i don't need that what the government recommends yes so you know just to squint i just you know my slant trump looked at the at the at the at the eclipse to squint your fly i just saw a story about an artificial intelligence painting which just sold for four hundred twenty thousand dollars i saw that right is it up for intel didn't really look like
1:47 pm
a brand and it sold for over four hundred thousand dollars at auction that's unbelievable i mean three being replaced by a robot you knew you were being an artist you would be replaced by a robot because you would have a unique skill that could be replaced by a robot but trash like you are being replaced by robots i'm aiming for a feature spot in the robot zoo they're going to pick the most interesting people wipe the rest of us out so just be really interesting i think the painting they'll be into it. how do you know we're not already featured players in our robots that's a lot of people including purchases a whole gram gathered by you know artificial intelligence from outside our realm of comprehension and we're just basically there for their entertainment and i know that's not the case right now on musk says we are i know we could just be n.p.c. characters right here we've been put here to tell people just to direct them maybe toward or away from the nuclear explosion. you know speaking of n.p.c.
1:48 pm
which is a meme mom player character you're an artist are means the same as art or is a different right the letter grade greg face i might i might go for that for my halloween costume. is an art or is it not art or is it near our i do not think. that means are going to be collected as as art as much as i just want to buy the frog for eight thousand dollars that's a brave new world that i know if you got a little like a thumb drive and you saved it all yeah it's on it's all just on the phone yeah and it's a rare puppy the frog. was a thousand bucks and so a lot of these collectibles are on the block chain and they're selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars in artificial intelligence are trees for four hundred thousand dollars during this journey we're covering the disconnect between rhetoric and reality so you have a kind of a conflict with this
1:49 pm
a confrontation with this when you were visited by homeland security and the f.b.i. yet it's you know if you're painting you're burning bank paintings were real bright my god i mean what. i can't believe that happened so long ago and it's just so weird if you start having cops walking up making decisions on as you're painting in the street whether that's like you know good art or what about mark zuckerberg or they have lance accounts all or twitter or facebook like should these guys determine what is art what is good free speech what is a valid political opinion what is a valid economic opinion mark zuckerberg no one just looking at the guy what does he buy like brad weiland whale paintings or something i can't even imagine you know what's your story how did your family end up in los angeles because you were actually born and raised in los angeles my family goes back a ways in los angeles my great great. and father started the helms bakery.
1:50 pm
in the thirty's and that was the big thing up until one nine hundred sixty nine when they sold it and you know it's an interesting example of a c.e.o. not gal geeing his employees i mean they didn't have to unionize everybody was paid enough they wanted to work there for their entire life they got pensions there wasn't this sort of you know the boss got three thousand percent more money than the than the workers and also that it was a regional sized business you know everything's too big now my grandfather really started freaking out with credit cards like that's when in my family they started saying doll this is like a fake economy you know you just credit cards this is dangerous you know and that was like in the mid seventy's and then the eighty's in the ninety's and they're just handing out credit cards and unsolicited mailings of credit cards and that's
1:51 pm
all money creation. who are these guys and frick and delaware and self the kota is it just a bunch of computers in like a post office boxes and these people just sit around and create ten thousand dollars credit lines dislike being being bing bing bing bing sounds like the robot zoo oh you. know the robots do that and i've gotten i'm in the robots well i just feel like there's so much money being created that just goes to the military industrial. job creating whatever make in uniforms and bullets and are they ever going to stop spending all this money on the military and is anybody ever going to really address that reality i just hate the way right wingers never seem to. talk about that when you mention the fact that your grandfather who was living the american dream in. moved to california that he became very freaked out by the
1:52 pm
introduction of credit cards and that of course did not happen until the split between our money and gold there was no anchor to reality you do you think that moment of the credit explosion that was able to follow the divorce of our currency from gold that that same sort of moment was a similar sort of event to one hundred fifty two people sitting here at the tonic liquor is watching nuclear explosions just on the horizon and that's the same thing that happened in one nine hundred seventy one when we went off the gold standard it was a similar moment that people were like is it all going to melt down no it exploded in a beautiful mushroom cloud of debt right and then we just forgot he said oh this is just inch every measure just to keep the speculators all those gold swept through ours from rising on the part of market it was the french they knew we were screwed in vietnam they'd already been screwed there for ten years or something and they're
1:53 pm

1:58 pm
new to. the biggest thing that and i shall be is that we've never had an empty troll. like the contents of the sounding of an album. people obviously come in they just throw them into the water as disposal it may not be harmful for that little fish that eats one fragment of plastic but once it makes its way up to us in the food chain it's getting to levels that are harmful. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime sample each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be old rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year. some with four hundred to five hundred trees per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building
