and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. countries gone into a nihilistic fever that's why i'm thankful and they've got to hit the road and get out the traveling across america the find what makes america the charlatans the genius of america here this is it we found the point around which hollywood has gone insane we're starting last with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think i'm gonna leave now don't forget the more gonzo he may be completely different by the end of this journey.

we mean it may get down to the love of telling. her the money is ok. well go to this side of the street love feel. welcome on the side of the story. well it's good to be there but at the owners. this is the locus of the lot of this that she represents a classic american novel and a lot has to still be a nightmare for hollywood tonight and parodies of the death of the american dream are we any good. is america reach the end game like the locust we just started running this century the twenty first time. three years is

also going to be the american century. so it's going to be kind of course you know like a classic car something good look. i have a sixty five year old british racecar no no it's got to be like america and it's got a scream america. sixty six most oh right verbal it's got every. classical stuff it's fantastic i love it's got steve mcqueen full of vibe but i think something a little more guns bigger gonzo big. on the issue. says . yes this is it this is the 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 stallman will lose me. this kind of like a gonzo meets louise it's going to always this is very hunter s. thompson here it goes catcher yeah we'll take it. yeah. i 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 to. belive it i feel the spirit i feel is guiding me. i feel a syntax i feel those long strings of adjectives put together and wonder if loops a diversion. heading to the mercy of quality and nursing home

so for the. brain moving journalism. we need heads. if we're going gone. how do we go gonzo when you're already gone so i'm so gung ho for soloing i don't know what it's like to go. i love the neon i love the love the night sky and the stars and. i love the fakery i love the fountains. it's so fake it's real the out of this world were world fake 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 anyway they're like i don't 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 bell outs no matter what but you feel good it's like the whole it's a 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 know they're never going to deliver on their promises. but you still do it doesn't this car kind of remind you of the vehicle in which john f. kennedy was assassinated open top we're going. crowded causeway lot of positions right there i see grassy knolls everywhere i remember nine hundred sixty three i was three years old and i remember everything went black everything went dark everything live though kind of like whispering four doors a. great great shot of fellow. the country.

confusing the sixty's progressed in that way and then we had watergate the seventy's so politically i went through this messy period water gave you know 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 a president you had 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 you look at this even have these pushbutton and they're 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 miss in the morning. at c.b.s. 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 past. two months you know. slowed down. oh nice to like the way i press the brakes here you know i did say this is like a magnet 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 watching you drive for years now and really learn to appreciate how well you drive so the occasional mistake i notice is kind of stands out you can always drive of course 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 is 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 car wrecks of the fifty's or sixty's are so much more spectacular because you have like body splayed everywhere blood cures gushing in these days because it's so well manufactured everything is contained a bumper falls off everybody's safe nothing really happened here but airbags deploy there's a real danger in cars anymore it's like being in a crib a baby crib this car is broken dangerous you can get killed in this car you could lose a limb in this car you could lose all your blood in this car not so with the modern car that's what 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 my feet right now and i can feel the engine propping and i can feel this windshield is about the crack of my face in the last race being a million different ways and i want it because it's god so and that's going to. you know trust. he's

a writer i think in the seventy's he traveled all over america any. everyone on the soul of freaks and charlatans and con men and geniuses that are america what you're . giving me the fine america is equal part three in genius or is it just all got hearing normal people i'm normal life return element of american character that's freaky. i think of the grammar of a lot of pretty women yeah i think there are some people that are. the world. more reserved about their freak heart it more what about being i think it's more like oh a lot of people want to do it the people who are doing it want to. do want to have a boyfriend get your for a guy who's most response i mean is it safe to live here anymore do you think. and i were the worst things contributing to that by. mining by the way i mean money

money drug money too much money too much just too much money and making people crazy because there's too much money. where the money where the money comes from pretty freely so you're anti federal reserve bank. you're trying you want more money printed for yourself you want some of the printed money to use it since it is your main are you committing sins are you actively engaging in some not yet your you might feel you know yeah quick question this is finally here begun in america just to feel safe here. not just the same feeling of. sure yeah. we're going to answer and cities around the nine hundred eighty late seventy's early eighty's when i am. minbar i got the moon man as the thing. well.

enough and i told them i got the legs for a lot of women would kill for legs like mine. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime tempi each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trees per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building

a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one in one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness 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 is on all sides very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

so our seats are eating our time and the installment click here is in las vegas facts of course the used to do nuclear testing right there in one nine hundred fifty two people would come here and have a cocktail a watching the nuclear explosion on the horizon from the new the number nuclear testing site i know who's gotten tourism down fast it tomic bombs on

a rise in the mushroom clouds of most of my glories i don't really wear dream that alexander was in our bedroom painting. and i woke up and he was just standing there painting these exploding bank paintings what do you think of you know you're not observe 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 they had no idea how unhealthy it was and it was cool like people love watching stuff blow up i mean they blow up all these old hotels out here it's like the same energy glad. right so is there something perhaps entertaining about watching disaster unfold watching say trump in the white house are watching a nuclear explosion on the horizon hell yeah i mean as long as there's just you know people that want to. rev there are 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 to just blow things up right 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 happening guys it's creative destruction essentially right isn't that kind of like go boom wrote that book disaster capitalism the enemy klein right naomi klein just you know 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 of 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 that's what the government recommends yes so you know just to squint and just you know my son allowed trump looked at this at the at the at the eclipse just when you're flying i just saw a story about an artificial intelligence painting which just sold for four hundred twenty thousand dollars i saw that isn't a print i didn't really look like a photo rembrandt and it's old for over four hundred thousand dollars at auction that's unbelievable i mean so. 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 that's right like you are being replaced by a robot 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 exclusion of n.p.c. which is a meme non player character or an artist are memes the same as art or is a different re 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 and it 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 an artificial intelligence are trades for four hundred thousand dollars during this journey we're covering the disconnect between rhetoric and reality so you had a kind of a conflict with this a confrontation with this when you were visited by homeland security and the f.b.i. and it's you know if you're painting you're burning bank paintings were real. right

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 had lance accounts all or twitter or facebook like should these guys determine what is art and what is good free speech what is valid political opinion what is 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 and los angeles my great grandfather started the helms bakery. 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 gallon 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 feel good that 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 no this is like a fake economy you know. 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 all money creation. who are these guys and frick and delaware and self the.

is it just a bunch of computers and like post office boxes and these people just sit around and create ten thousand dollar credit lines dislike being being bing bing bing bing sounds like the robot zoo oh you. know the robots do that 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 and uniforms and bullets 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 had moved to california that he became very freaked out by the 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 that's the same thing that happened in one thousand nine hundred eighty 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 distance every measure just to keep the speculation or is all those cold sweat dryers from rising up the partner mark and 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 like oh man these guys are not there and just leaving money constantly so they're like yeah give us the gold us. wow those are the

guys that like the explosions it's the same energy all right well let's put it a couple more palm trees maybe alex we're going to have to wrap this up you're going to have a masterpiece there are you going to sell it for big you've got to download your album and we're going to get you some show it queen you bet some hard money i'm down i got about wanting it set me up. that's it man ok let's see if. you're going to get a really good place in the robot so i know. that's that's my goal right. there you know you told us hold up hold up already hold on. i just remembered stacy wants to buy this painting so if you want to buy this painting right here i want to use the average wallet to buy since you bloody have to buy this you got it let's do

it done deal i want one dollar per square inch two hundred eighty eight what comes in a currency would you like that in well you can hook me up with some app or so your average is the app you must have average is the crypto wall of this redefining crypto wall it's just going to how do you know that or are. you doing now going to the average and do it. i get excited. this is twenty eight crypto currencies plus bit ten it's an index of ten cryptocurrency is up there it's coming i got it what more do we need one more to this one need you want because the original choice i'm going to run. right now thank you love you weren't but if i don't you know you're my favorite or as i think collecting you for years and i got to run. so i wasn't born in one thousand.

sixty five and this was me the manufacturer but this is something you saw there in westchester county and before like the pimp kind of destroyed the whole. cadillac sort of look bob still living in a bubble movie while the far as. you know during that era was an adult when he started making big bucks like a baby blues. and that was the flint and then that movie. you know that was a little earlier but with richard dreyfus that gave me a list of all the while by these catalogs that all they start making money is knowing the little side and then in the seventy's it was like me are getting started buying these and then the end of the town all right well i guess they showed up at the used car lots of town and you know the band said you know that's a tough one last leg lifts you know to the floor of the street except i just got to get a little color maybe some bloody dice to reveal here are all the accoutrements. for

. u.s. veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of

their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circular defense of officers we're going to attack and destroy their governments and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with ifs if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war then surely we can risk some discomfort for an easy miss for peace. in the united states we proactively require brominated flame retardants to be put into furniture and marketing among other things and that's resulted in extremely higher levels of those flame retardants in the human bodies of americans as opposed to europeans and that ultimately has affected the cognitive outcomes of literally a generation of american children.

in the me that it does where you know you're. going to. those whom you know most of those people in your years and years it was notable to . not blame you for. the ways the ways but i did my best religion as though i. left you then yes this is. one of those. these good. news for them. yeah you know it's different. for. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some wanted us.

to go on to be for us it's like the full story in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters and that's how. the signal. misreads form of the sunni teachings of the national executive vice president of venezuela all of them civilians venezuela the president is elected by washington. president maduro accuses the u.s. of plotting a coup in venezuela as washington throws its weight behind the country's self-proclaimed of leader. regime figurine butchery of service without pay shouldn't get anything

but all options are on the day of. the french riot police fired tear gas.
