myth. i see that he was only twenty one they called him the boy bandit king. the boy band of the king well this is genius isn't it lives on the all the people that we love and adore today the american characters like donald trump is kind of a boy branded king of the twenty first century. and i guess the sympathy for him is that he was essentially orphaned thirteen and we know how. the wild west we know what the wild west was like is a very dangerous place so he had to hook up with some bad guys you know some gun slingers and he himself was alleged to have killed eight people including a sheriff so that's what he was executed for by pat garrett right here on your ancestors property and you also see it like the actual two stone is incased in some metal a metal frame because the first time it was stolen it was taken to graham berry

texas where is found twenty six years later and that town was quite interesting because it's a town where real bad guys lived real outlaws who had faked their deaths but they were real living there think no charlatans kings paupers geniuses. american entrepreneurs and politicians steve jobs doll and trump they all come from billy the kid the other theme that holds to billy the kid is that of course there are many many many conspiracy theories that he in fact was not killed and that he went on to live and there are even up to just a few years ago they want to exuma him and take some genetic testing and see if it's actually him and so you know just like elvis. never die just they never die they just become immortal even to the modern times where all the nine eleven victims. never really died it was all staged fake all

those plane crashes the same with all the sandy hook like we always have this thing of like these tragic big huge epic events never actually happen people don't like to accept. and so they mythologize their heroes and they never die and with billy the kid this is a quintessentially american hero who forged a path in the west and one to war with the authorities and became a mortal and became a myth and became a proto typical boy outlaw king that is the. character that is repeated every generation in rock n roll in america reinvented elvis reinvented donald trump reinvented the boy genius to outlaw king i'm tearing up here you know i really feel an affinity i guess because of my old ancestors land and so it's just oracle moment happened here. you know it's moving yes so we've

you know seen walter white we saw all the gangster lore of las vegas we saw we talked to your friend chaz they're the author of inspired by many of the outlaws in american history to commit a crime here we have billy the kid he is still an anti-hero and like that ghost guy you know we continue to make money off him there are activists trying to get him pardoned up to this day by the governor but obviously if they pardon him he's no longer a bad guy and new mexico can no longer make money off to this day people are always pushing the law and some get caught some go to jail but some become heroes well i'm going to go look at that like four or five other tombstones and this cemetery here you know do it i'm going to spend some time in philly ok have fun. and i say some folks i left them shotgun shells and cigarettes seems like

a fitting tribute this reminds me of parish as in paris where i spent some time at the tombstone of jim morrison another american character outlaw the lizard king who died romantically tragically and paris buried along with some of the greatest authors of all time jim morrison claim to be a great poet many people argued that point and yet he's buried with some of the very the some of the greatest poets ever in european history so. i have to believe he is spared carried him to. co-edit greatness and in the end. a max max you want to come check this out that this is your ancestor's tombstone you gotta read this wow. the c.n. bonaparte maxwell a native of cascade cascade illinois

a fur trainer and trapper who by industry good fortune and training became sole owner in eight hundred sixty four of the largest single tract of land owned by any one individual in the united states maxwell founded the first national bank of santa fe new mexico and invested two hundred fifty thousand dollars to build the texas pacific railroad dynamic charitable lavish one of the great builders of the american west i think that sentence one of the great builders of the american west a lot of it lying in a tribute to my ancestor. you know i'm thinking stacy i should be buried in this graveyard someday oh my other a relative saying to be here a lot of maxwells a few macs and believe the kid timothy maxwell kaiser i could get up by going to talk to the new mexico authorities about this so he helped build the texas pacific railroad your other ancestor hugh maxwell in pennsylvania actually built the first

turnpike through pennsylvania so that whole maxwell that maxwell part of you is an american entrepreneurial spirit your builders yeah i like that well we're going to take it into the twenty first century and i'm very excited very moving to meet all this and be part of this you get it right i'm crying inside. yeah we got a lot of work to distill you know this trip this gonzo ship heading to the swamp and it's really about rediscovering one's roots and understanding what needs to still be done and taking the the maxwellian global imperative into the next phase well unfortunately he was one of the great builders of the american west america no longer has builders we have private equity sort of extractors and that is extracting assets extracting wealth from all our assets and

like leaving a carcass as kind of a locust sort of model. some say is a builder so he does build things the older he's a developer you know we're traveling across the country as we have been doing we staying in a lot of hotels a lot of guys who are building stuff there are building roads building bridges and these are workin guys and it really puts me back in touch with my my roots as a builder you know i started my career on wall street as an extractor now and getting more in touch with my so i was a builder that was interesting. being out here in very remote new mexico last night in our cheap motel there were a lot of cowboy boots left outside the rooms and you saw the guys in the elevator and they had really really really caked on mud boots on and it looked like they were doing something yeah one guy was heading out to the rink that put in a full day's work he said it's almost tough because you've got to artificial knees

but you know he was off off running heading back to going to the work site and that's what this country grit grit well let's go look at somewhere this grit and maybe get some grit some kind of hungry that's a good idea we're not quite down to the south yet. so do you feel like part of the american west how very much so. i think this is a pilgrimage for me personally that has been fulfilled to go back to this this describes. you know that's always interesting that we are all more connected and way than we think we all have families we all have friends we all have connections to history and the more connected you are the more mentally healthy you are you know mental disease comes from. disconnecting from going away from the connections that make up who you are so for me it's very

satisfying to see oh this is part of my ancestral history and here i am i'm on this journey and i'm intersecting with this part of my history as part of american history so i'm connecting you know all multiple different ways the history of new mexico the history of the united states the history of the old west my personal history the history of this gonzo american pilgrimage so it all oh comes together in a very satisfying way because it's all very connected in that way and it's. it's. american stone. here in amarillo texas. the cadillac ranch. this is where catalogs came from rome out here like alfalfa about their manufacture in detroit or worse yet i have no idea that cadillacs are far out of this is the

most unusual car accident never happened in any interstate ever doesn't get any more gonzo live. my dream job you. gone you're out of room i write you can you tell jacket just in here i'll become part of the art installation and it is even a no go. do i have to stand here now for the rest of my days that is so gonzo i think i ruined your jacket but on the positive front you are immortal now you are. no problem. for all contingencies and i don't read on responses from often.

these cadillacs tries stuck in the dirt like this disco there's some truth in it was the internet i was driving down the road what happened and it was a dirt road selling turquoise on the side of the road i saw the turquoise i saw your image in one of them it was as big as my god who was in the taco rolled over the highway like a tumbleweed where the whole surface was cracked like the face of my grandmother my third birthday to me a five dollar bill and i bought some candy corn. and i shared it with my friends at school and then they threw rocks and then i threw rocks at the finish line i heard him speaking with a southern accent i feel a little bit of that southern is coming down at a really nothing to be ashamed of i think i inhaled too many feelings through this pain yeah that's got to be a problem all that pain for you there's not the regulation that is there. this is

texas. i just want to get my money's cadillac and drive away. when lawmakers manufacture come sentenced to the public wells. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round of lives only the one percent of. the time we can all middle of the room six. million real news.

and twenty forty you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going to be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just a lawyer here i mean your list put video of freedom in the new bill is that i knew this feeling needed to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took coach had invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in the. another goal that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. country.

so across in texas and of course when you cross texas there's a lot of desert and there's a lot. of distance between exits. so our sponsor was very concerned about us and sent us this bottle just wish we could fill with water but i forgot this water that will float on the other side of the desert. when you think about the cadillac ranch is it an example of building they will come. or it wasn't our walls our art is one of those parts of any working community and society that is the central. if there's one thing really hugely different than the u.s. versus europe is that in europe they understand the value of art in the community it what it does to lift a community in america they don't see are those be communally uplifting in any way

and it's relegated to the margins and that's not funded and artists are looked down upon as opposed to europe worse complete opposite and yet that clearly was a mecca for people going on pilgrimage to go see this cadillac ranch middle of nowhere texas so they were coming to that i might add that there were italians there were some germans i think i heard some sweet so you know they were being drawn from europe it was inspiring it did look like an american stone hands are equivalent where. our modern society values which is the great american car when america was a great many people think. you know we're crossing america feels. huge out west for sure but the other thing is that it just seems a lot calmer than anything you see on twitter or social media site i kind of feel

like social media is where the crazy people doubt that that makes people crazy it is where the crazy people go. because people are normal outside of twitter that's an interesting thing about it is that these usually powerful people will respond to trolls who have five followers and they'll get into these flame wars and people that are knows where they are you know there's people sitting in a barbershop somewhere in wichita falls texas with nothing to do so they they're in a flame war with their rio rubini or. bill gates or something they goes on for a bed then they block one blocks the other and it's over but yeah there's no boundaries there's no. wall separating these people and that does smack a bit of americana you know the absence of a rigid class system although that's changing of course but this is all the

egalitarian is a democracy openness. is there on twitter and it's being shut down of course because the powers that be paid. to go out there it is about democracy so they don't like the fact that people are some bling you know ways americans have the right to assemble but that means the right to dissent that means the right to overthrow and that can't be tolerated so twitter is being shut down facebook is being now managed by. you know global government. arsis you want to keep the dialogue within a certain narrow range and social media is not just an extension of corporate media . the same thing happened to the internet it started off extraordinarily open and free john perry barlow was writing about it is the true democratic domain. and that it basically corporate ties. their song for soccer got pulled over

by the cops. did what it's about my god it's our. guy again yes. that's al. i guess. they really are. feeling so as being arrested by the sheriff's. we're going to check out american infrastructure because that's how america looks me greed of course this bridge was actually in use until two thousand and one and of course like everything in america is haunted by this guy he learned when a minute thank you looks like misfires time. are you doing this here what he's doing on this rickety old bridge that's haunted me mad it's no man what are you guys doing here with this get up this is a pure america. connel center is me tom wolfe me don hope i'm here just advising some clients in the energy market. of course the hardest working man i was

there you did one of them jump off the fracking industry is it make not only require those fracking bonzo no water loss rumor that oh my god that's not even normal i still think that oil prices are far too high right now because if you look at what's going on around the world in china and elsewhere there's no demand so that means the oil prices will come down i see oil going back into the twenty's at some point and then fracking becomes so you spend you spend x. but you're only getting back like less than three. cents on the dollar that you're spending to create these money jobs that mitt america is a great oil nation again where big oil where up there with russia in saudi arabia so you're saying it's a figment of our imagination and in law evaporate overnight well i think that there's a lot of things that are a figment of our imagination and then they're about as murky as that water is so i mean when the when the rubber hits the road i think there's going to be a bit of

a problem and people are starting to realize that you can't really trust the media because they lie about everything and the politicians are equally as bad so typically in an economy gets this this joint and it ends up causing some social unrest and one thing gaps and are you seeing out as well we've got the greatest wealth inequality in the history of this planet right now and that dispersion is not good when you see something like that you know and you've seen in europe you've seen anti-semitism on the rise in paris with the fire bombings of the synagogues of course we had a horrific shooting in the united states in that synagogue recently and of course everybody trying to blame donald trump you are from new york which is very liberal town city and you're jewish how do you feel as an american jew living in this country do you feel this do you feel any sort of anti-semitism rising do you blame donald trump many people are suffering from trump derangement syndrome so they're trying to blame trump for everything and that the anti-semitism as you know live

between the united kingdom and here has been on the rise in britain for quite a while this isn't because of donald trump and it's not because of donald trump's politics i mean i think like if you go back to the one nine hundred thirty s. when hitler came to power you know we saw similar things and what we're seeing now with the social justice warriors and they want to get rid of some of the disney characters and disney stories is akin to the book burnings that they had back then i mean because look you can't rewrite history you should learn from history and it's really important you get into a very dark place and you start to do that when you suppress free thought and free speach. it is fascism because i agree with you i'm tolerant i mix up thing i am diverse intil you disagree with my opinion at which point i become a violent intolerant fascist and beat you because it's ok because you must be a nazi if you don't agree with me so i can beat you i can do anything to you violence is acceptable and i think that it's disgraceful now you have politicians in washington like maxine waters or like the former attorney general that are

saying you've got to kick them you know you've got to go out and get in their face and harass them so you mentioned the authorities and some parallels with the thirty's of course that came about after the treaty of versailles after world war one reparations had to be paid from germany and they were draconian and it set up a disaster in two thousand and eight my question to you is sixteen seventeen trillion dollar giveaway to wall street creditors was that equivalent in a way as reparations to wall street that then set up this huge backlash you know i think that the bailouts and you know that i wrote my book because of the bailouts and i disagreed with the bell outs and if you remember back to the one nine hundred eighty s. when you had the resolution trust company that took the s n l's and actually put bankers in prison i mean i think that's what should have been done bankers should have gone to jail the reason why i wrote my book was because when it i said when the credit crisis hits next time which it will and don't say you know it's going to be worse because what you're going to do is take down the entire financial system

because all you've done is kick the can down the road to the point at which now we're going to have a crisis like you've never seen before globally which could lead to world war three now how to make america great again because one thing we've also noticed crossing the country is like when we saw max's ancestors land he helped build the union pacific railroad he helped finance that part of what made america such a powerful nation was not only our bountiful landscape but the fact that we invested in the country and an infrastructure now. the model is one that you know very well as a private equity guy it's more that private equity extracting all the wealth and assets and equity and not building anything we don't build anything anymore and how do we do that is a big problem as you as you rightly point out is that financialization and using debt to buy your shares back and pay the c.e.o. suite and pay all the little you know the people that work for you in the in the

upper echelons of the company and basically screw over the shareholders and screw over all your employees like amazon for example what happens is you're creating grotesque asset bubbles in the stock market the bond market and the property markets and all of these bubbles are going to explode simultaneously this time and and it's kind of like a nuclear sort of thing it sucks the air out of the rest of america because the asset bubbles you talk about are on the coast there in san francisco los angeles washington d.c. and new york so anything of atomic weapons we are in vegas and we are at a bar where they used to watch atomic weapons explode in the desert as entertainment so are we living in an era where these financial atomic weapons and explosions that you're talking about as they go off that's just come out as entertainment that's the problem you've got the propagandists at the mainstream and traditional media that are pushing forward what they are basically are their political tools moving forward scripted narratives that most of america just acts like in a boat kind of way and goes move. it's like

a very texas relevant metaphor bovine exactly the scene of the cows we driving around here it's amazing here it's nascent so the army. did it oh i haven't had any barbecue i'm going to have the experience again i got some brisket you want to join us on the ground. you know and it is apparent correct spectacles this is so with you larry are you sure. jimi hendrix purple haze which one do you think that i think it would be my family yeah purple haze. yeah yeah you're right is the journey let's go how would you have talked. twenty dollar oil don't mind us you know not knowing our oil we don't want to see come back and see you hanging from this bridge. that's our hero.

our going to end up in the cold. so now you guys are going to get me arrested. and i mean another one of the highest in my town the way you both look at the. ballot itself mukti about. closing this way got to do so hard not the feet on the other disappointed to see them look like they are and i don't mean start them if. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights a useful move away from.

the floor look at the feet of this both chris woody allen and all the evil at the top of the moment on the. what i think is this is the fans that is a constant. the few states does that all the time it always tries to influence elections when the people who are running who are friendly to the united states are running against people who are unfriendly we certainly did that all through central america and south america for many many years we know that these efforts are made repeatedly there not criminal every intelligence agency in the world sees as part of its function to make sure that elections turn out favorably to the country.

must lead by its own keep the slime to force new of us if you so. to enjoy what. you see in the film was not the. most good moment in. you know more often. than not the insane when you don't let us. know what. i am. with no make this manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the rooming
