Hello, excuse me, great. How you doing? Doing well today, thanks. Dave Vellante. Hi, nice to meet you in person. Nice to meet you. So thanks for coming on. We're excited to have somebody from Red Hat here. Your name has come up many, many times, your company's name in cube discussions that we've had. Okay, great. Stock market's nasty today, I don't know if you saw. Big drop, what'd Red Hat do today? Do you pay attention to those things? I do. I think everybody else, you're down a market sentiment. Tough day. Tough day, what are you going to do? But Red Hat, generally, good company, market cap almost $8 billion, on open source. Yeah, nice to get here a little bit. Oh, sure, absolutely. Amazing, so Jason, tell us what you do at Red Hat and we'll talk about what's going on here at the event and we'll get your opinion on some of the stuff that's going on in application development. Sure, so my role at Red Hat is on the, oops, is that okay? I'm the director of product line management, which means that I am effectively responsible for bringing the different application products to market. So that's the application server. They are our biggest product and J-Bus is the application platform. And then I also have responsibility for some of the other products. OpenShift. OpenShift, we work with the OpenShift team. So we actually just put the application server community project out on OpenShift about a month, about two months ago now, which is a really exciting project. And then I have some of the tooling stuff, some of the management stuff, as well as the portal platform and the upcoming, we announced recently the data grid. So our new kind of big data offering, elastic cache type of offering that we're bringing out based on the really exciting Intinus Man project that we've had out in the community now for a little over two years now. As a matter of fact. So I want to talk about all those. So that's a lot of territory there. It's a large chunk of the portfolio. Yes, so the way we've recently architected it within J-Bus is we now have an applications group which covers the products I mentioned. And then that's shared between myself and a gentleman named Rich Sharples who's the director of product management. So we kind of cover both bases. And then we also have an integration business which has been getting a lot of attention lately and I'm probably well for the next couple of months. They're about to do a major shipment for our solar products. So integration, ESB, its solar platform rules, data virtualization falls under integration for us. So that's a product update of services. So yeah, so that's the other group but mostly I focus on the app scheme. So what's happening at the event? You're really spending most of your time at Java one, I presume. At Java one, yeah. So thanks for coming across the street here. No problem. What's the vibe over there? Well, the vibe is really exciting. It's kind of funny because there's a lot of people, they're jammed into a really small space.  Are they feeling neglected? No, I think they're feeling it. They're getting that kind of cozy, intimate club scene vibe. Shmozing. That's what they're going for. But we're getting huge traction at the booth because we're doing something like 14 different mini-sessions the mini-theater thing. We just, I just walked away from the one on Infinispan and Data Grid. So that was really well attended. So we were excited about that. And I think we've got something like 20 other sessions going on. So Jason, the conversation is all about big data analytics, open source, obviously a big part. You guys are actually coming up on our radar a lot. We have our own monitoring tool that we instrument our audience through our social networks. And with OpenShift, with platform as a service, you guys are no stranger to open source and innovation. So the question I have is, what's your view of the current situation? I know there's some JBoss DNA over there at Benchmark and just invested in. Hortonworks, new company, spun out of Yahoo, doing the Hadoop thing. You got Cloudera, who's trying to be the red hat of Hadoop, right? That's a, they're actually kind of informal positioning. Whatever, right? So we just had EMC on, talking about their appliance, Oracle's got an appliance, big data's everywhere. Kind of a land grab. People are still playing nicely in the sandbox. What's your view on all this? I mean, at Red Hat, you guys have a certain orientation of the marketplace. But how do you make sense of all this? Well, it's funny you mentioned the orientation, right? Because I think there's this perception out there that Red Hat, in particular, is a company that kind of is a follower, right? It's like somebody comes along, establish a marketplace, and then we kind of work our way into it within, by not only being open source, but also being a really big contributor to whatever the standards are. Be that at the operating system level, or Java, or whatever. That's not really happening. This pattern isn't kind of going that way right now with some of the data and cloud stuff. We're starting to see some really interesting standards come up in cloud. Can you give me an example of that? That's not really happening. So some of the, so we haven't seen kind of a massive... Around MapReduce, for example, or is it? Well, I think there's a lot of little companies working right now, right? And they're all kind of staking out their claims, and they're all providing, well, hopefully they're all providing some level of uniqueness and market value to that space. And if they do, they will continue to grow, right? I think what our approach is a little bit different is that we started to really look at, with JBoss in particular, we look at the developer first. And with OpenShift, we look at the developer first. And when we start to think about the developer, we start to solve their problems. Kind of like Sun, which said, here's software, we're calling it open source.  No, we come up from the ground up. And if you look at what we did with Infinispan, which is our elastic cash stuff, that particular project, we went out and said, let's make this part of the spec. We came along, it got some great traction, immediately made it part of the spec, and we're trying to work within the EE community to get that ratified as its own JSR. So we basically came out swinging, right? We said, you know what? We think this is important. We think this is important for Java. Let's try to put it in there. Now it's up to the Java community to come back and make sure that that's kosher. And there's probably some players in there who have a vest engine just maybe not making that happen. But at the same time, we think it's really important so we're working on it. When it comes to solving the developer problem, we saw with DataGrid was effectively, how do we bring these applications into the cloud? Because that's, you just can't pick them up and drop them in. You don't get the benefit out of it. All right, so. So, and not Jingron at IBM, and I had a conversation at Hadoop Summit, which was Yahoo's version, this past session, a couple months ago, and what I had for breakfast one month that was, I think it was June May. And he had a great presentation. We talked about the founding fathers, the originators of open source, and then that next wave where you got the commercialization players coming in. And his whole thesis was play nicely, nurture, and that in the standards process, which you're alluding to here, there needs to be some responsibility to the betterment of the community, where there's the tension should be there, but it shouldn't be a war between the originators of standards and open source. And the people to take it to the next level doesn't mean that they replace them. He says that dynamic is really, really fragile. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And did you talk about that? And because we're seeing, like you said, a lot of little companies working on things, and we're trying to get an editorial focus on this for the people out there around that there's a sandbox out there, and you have people who are originated code and approaches, and then you have people jumping in and venture back to the EMCs, and it needs to grow together. What about that dynamic and your experience with that, and what's the formula that really needs to take place? Well, my experience with it is that there's a, I think with open source, when it was kind of a big movement before, and it had a lot more momentum, five, 10 years ago, I think what was, I think there was a lot of smaller companies that jumped into it just because it was open source. It was kind of a, it's like there's a lot of companies out there right now who are looking for venture funding, and they're trying to make it cloudy, right? Oh yeah. And I think that an open source had a share of that in the beginning. Can we say big data washing, Dave?  Data washing, yeah. Yesterday's news, it's big data washing, or analytics washing. But I think that at its core, open source still provides a lot of value, and what the other thing that open source does is it does provide a ability for people to, you know, level the playing field, play nice together, and provide that environment. But at the end of the day- And it helps things in terms of security, right? I mean, people don't like security, right? But at the end of the day, depending on the open source project, and to broad brush them is kind of difficult, but at the end of the day with an open source project, it's going to really require three different communities to kind of come together for it to be successful. I mean, first of course, is the community that builds the code, right? And that can be multiple vendors or players or individual contributors, whatever that may be. The second thing is the vendors themselves have to get involved and agree that this is the right set of technologies to kind of bring forward, okay? And the last piece is ultimately the customers, right? The people who consume it. Customer not in the sense of just somebody who buys a subscription and gets support from a vendor, but somebody who actually uses it because they're the ones who drive the requirements. I mean, I worked in closed source software for a long time before coming to open source three years ago. And the thing is is that what makes it so much more palatable is how customer-centric it really is. And the problem that we've seen in some projects is that when they think customer, they might put too much attention on the guys with the paycheck or they might put too much attention on the guys who are just responding to the Wiki saying, oh, you guys are so cool. I love your work, right? And that the key for us is always finding that balance.  What is the developer mindset today? Because we're seeing a robust developer environment, you know, Jboss, you got frameworks, you got infrastructure conversion networking, all accelerating, I'm going to be at the open flow symposium coming up in a few weeks. It's crazy, crazy good for developers. What's happening in the mindset of the developer community right now in terms of tools, platforms, approaches, frameworks, all of the above? Is there any common theme that you could share with the folks out there around just the general trend in the developer community? Because Oracle does present a big market for Oracle and they're a big power broker with 800 pound gorilla. Consolidation's happening. That's not always good, but it depends, you need distribution. So, tease out the high level trends. It's simple, it's really simple with developers. We've been talking about this a ton lately, especially with all the work going on with E6 and, you know, us picking up E6. It's productivity, it's simple. One word, get the job done. And I think the framework's got the job done in one way. Cloud is now bringing a new way to get the job done faster. I don't need a server, you know. I can get, I can abstract certain things and make it easier for me to, you know, develop the code. What we'll see, I think, come along even further. And the reason that things like even Salesforce and some of the SaaS plays are getting some traction in this space is because of the componentization of various things. So that's all big deals. Those are all things that are kind of coming together. And all it boils down to is how quickly can somebody build an app? What's the time to market and how quickly can we get the job done? So, our goal is to help facilitate that. There's a thousand people watching right now so you're getting good traction with the developers out there. What's your advice? Bill Schmarzo was on from EMC and he's a great guy, good friend, lived in the same town of Palo Alto, but he's old school, he's old data warehousing guy. He's seen the movie before. And I asked him and he had some good advice for the young folks out there, the new developers. What advice would you share with them? And, you know, he had some of the things that said, and learn from the past and embrace the future was this kind of core message. What could you share to the developers out there? Because this guy's out there, he said, who's going to power up a cloud? Who's going to roll out some code? It may not be perfectly scalable, but it doesn't cost a lot of money to get a proper concept out there. There's a lot of cool stuff going on. What's your advice to the developers out there? Building companies and or in the enterprise trying to bring analytics or doing stuff at the speed of business, as we say out there, it's going to be a pure creative exercise. So, advice to them, would you share? Yeah, sure. The first one is pretty simple, keep an open mind. I think if you go look at some of the movements out there, I'll just pick on Spring for a second, right? Spring got really great adoption and great proliferation. Everybody kind of bought into that religion for a long time, but then you have more modern things coming along, like EE6. So, you know, when you have those new technologies come out, don't just go, oh, I'm not going to look at EE because EE5 wasn't as cool as I wanted it to be. So, the second thing is, look for the, you know, kind of try to keep your options hoping down the road, right? Don't get buttoned into one thing, because there's always going to be some new cool framework. There's always going to be some new cool thing to work on, but at the end of it, you're going to have to maintain. What are you saying? Be open. Be open-minded. Be open, kick the tires on new stuff. Absolutely. You might be surprised. Yeah, we have a lot of customers who come to us today. Can you give an example of some things that surprises that like, hey, that was not cool a year ago, or all of a sudden hits the scene, pops? Oh, sure, look at mobile, right? I mean, a year ago everybody had, everything had to be native.  But then if you look at the different options for developers in mobile, you know, there are advantages and disadvantages to both. So, you know, don't just buy into one thing and go down that path blindly, you know, kind of keep your eye on what's going on out there. Well, obviously I'm a huge proponent of open source. There's one thing that I was critical of over the past couple months, and really pointing at, say, OpenStack, for example, because it's been super hyped up. It's a whole nother discussion in itself, but I was using them as an example. And that is, is that some conversations we had even here about Larry's keynote, comparing himself to Apple. People look at Apple as, hey, I can integrate in, basically make special purpose stuff proprietary, make it look closed, maybe a little faster game. So the question that's on the table for open source is, with the collaborative diversity, things are slower. Can open source move at the speed that it needs to move to meet the solution demand in the marketplace, in cloud, in mobile? So, yeah, that's a rhetorical question. So what I want to ask you is, what's the dynamic that's changing in open source to make things go faster? Is there anything happening? Can you share your opinion, your comments on that? I think the main thing that helps it go faster is just the constant demand for more solutions and more solutions to be interpreted a different way. The other thing that's, frankly, driving it, too, is that, I mean, look at, look how quick, let's just go back to mobile for a second. Look how quick Android grew. Look how absolutely fast it grew. That was a product of community pieces, right? And it just, you know, Apple looked like they're indestructible with the iPhone, right? I mean, for a long time, and then Android just came out of nowhere, right? Now, there's a lot going on with, you know, it- Yeah, unlimited budget from Google, that's one thing. I mean, Ruben had unlimited bank account. But at the same time, think about Android versus Apple versus Linux versus Windows. Yes, yes. Right, it's the same thing. Linux was a small crawl compared to Android. Community of people came along and they realized that, you know what? There's opportunity for everybody if we team up. And that's what happened. And Android, look, you know, you mentioned the Google factor, but the other factor was is that somebody had to build the apps. The phone, the handset makers realized, oh geez, I got to pick up this technology because, so it's the same thing all over again except for maybe it just doesn't have that open source wrapper on it. That's the one thing I disowned Oracle is that one thing about open source that's so phenomenal is that you have barriers to entry that are almost zero. You can jump into a community, you can get code out there. If they have a proprietary approach like Oracle, you might be locked into their mafia, their constraints. So, you know. But it's more than that, because I'll take you one step further. First off, there's Darwinism that comes out of the community. If something doesn't work, the project doesn't go. Right, it just doesn't get the legs. Killer be killed. Right, and then the other thing that happens is that you have a lot more business freedom. I mean, look, I run the go to market on JBoss and I'll tell you, the difference between where I used to work and where I work today is you have a lot more freedom in the sense of. It's fun. Well, it's fun, but it's also the sense that you don't have the legacy of trying to, oh boy, I can't do that because the hardware guys are going to be pissed at me. Or I don't want to do that because. Oh, I have a licensing deal with XYZ company. Because my main stream is X, so I can't, you know, let's not deliver that innovation into the product. Let's deliver it as part of an add-on product because that way I can kind of hit them up twice. You don't do that in open source, because guess what? If they like it, you have to find the right kind of balance with the customer so they'll pay for it. If you keep adding more products than a mix, guess what? They stop paying, right? So you have to find that. Well, that's the balance of open source. You've got diversity, which is a little bit slower, but you have that quality. And that thing, you know, Dave and I have been commenting, we've been at theCUBE, we've been to all the big tech events. EMC World, VM World, Sapphire, Citrix Synergy. You didn't come to Red Hat Summit at JBoss World. You guys are kind of in snowy age. You got to come next June. You got to get theCUBE over there. You got to get the invite. But we talk to the smartest people in those events, you know, independently. It comes down to the same thing. Security's a do-over. And unequivocally, everyone errs on the side, open source is better for security. Hands down. Because the argument is, it's not because it's out there. That's what some people are saying. Timbo's saying, well, because it's out there, we all know what's bad guys see. Everyone's seeing the same code. So that's kind of, so this is where the debate is. So love to get your perspective on that. Maybe follow up on that after the show, but you know, that's something that we're continuing to pound, is this mobile security angle and mobile data. So any insight on what's happening with mobile, mobile security, mobile data in particular? Well, I think there's a, I think there's, it's kind of following a similar pattern in the open source world, where we're starting with the developers and we're working our way through. I mean, so my perspective is, is that there are, there's some players out there doing a good job, certainly with mobile. And we're, I think the community's starting to eyeball it and starting to build some interesting, innovative things. And right now where we are, is what the community side of it is, is that we're starting with the developer, like we tend to do. And so it's coming along. Well, my final question, because I've been hogging the entire interview, is what do you see in the future of big data in particular and open sources role in it? Because, or let me rephrase it this way, what do you like right now? What do you see growing really fast? I mean, open source is kind of a mob mentality. There is Darwinism. What has traction right now? You can point to it and saying, you know, that project's got momentum. I'll see you.


Okay gang, we're gonna read two different sections from Robert Anton Wilson's Wilhelm Reich and Hell. Okay and I forgot to read when those books were put out, the previous books, but this was put out in 1995 I guess, or this is the this is a 1995 edition, it's a third printing, and it was put out in first printing was 1987. Okay I need to get a first printing of this thing. And we're going to read page 33, there's like three pages we're going to read here. Okay and then we're going to go to page 72 which is part of the musical. Okay this is a musical about the persecution of Wilhelm Reich, the murderer Christ as Wilhelm Reich, Robert Anton Wilson have stated. Page 33, let me get comfortable here, let me get comfortable here. And gang before we read let's give it a little message, do not forget, do not forget because this is very much related to the persecution of Julian Assange, so free Assange, free Assange, free Assange, Julian Assange, publisher and journalist that has been crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capitalist power to humanity, something that we desperately need in our societies. Salute to Julian Assange gang. For more information see wikilees.org, defendout wikilees.org, or countless resources available on free speech platforms. Salute Adam on censor tube. Page 33, Robert Anton Wilson's Wilhelm Reich in Hell. Beyond true and false. Nietzsche scandalized and terrified the orthodox a hundred years ago by saying the next step in philosophy would take us beyond good and evil. I increasingly suspect that the next step in science, the new paradigm will take us beyond true and false. I wonder how much scandal and terror that idea will create. I have already spoken of Reich's hypothetical organ as not necessarily a concrete thing, but a kind of heightened perception. Another word for quote, kind of perception, end quote, is of course gloss. The term for sociology and enthral methodology, which I have already used many times, a gloss, a model, a reality tunnel, a way of sensing and organizing the world is, it seems to me, always a human product and always relative to the humans who created it and their concrete situation in space time. If we turn to the psychology of knowledge and try to use it impartially and not as a weapon to invalidate opponents, it is possible to consider some glosses as meta glosses or glosses of glosses. Marxism, for instance, is a meta gloss which glosses other glosses in terms of the economic factors acting upon the persons or group who create them. The Freudian and even more the Reikian system are also meta glosses in this sense. They attempt to explain why certain glosses are popular with certain people. A good deal of radical feminism is a very proactive meta gloss, telling us how the glosses of the last 6,000 years of male-dominated history look from a non-male perspective. If we apply meta glosses, not just to glosses, but to other meta glosses, we will, of course, create strange loops. But I think these these will be fruitful, like the strange loops of zen logic and box music rather than pathological, like the strange loops of schizophrenia. In building meta glosses of meta glosses, we will find ourselves, I think, wondering out of the search for the one correct reality tunnel into an ontological anthropological study of comparative reality lambrance. Concretely, the Marxist analysis of Freudian psychology as a middle-class gloss can be illuminating rather than merely pulmerical or destructive. If we recognize the Freudian middle-class gloss need not be entirely false just because it is middle-class, the Freudian analysis of Marxism as an expanded adupious complex can also be enlightening and not merely invalidating. If we remember that an adupious complex subliminated into very intelligent sociological analysis can yield valid insights and it is not the same thing as a Udenian complex merely acted as criminal rebellion against the cop as father figure. That is, if we use each gloss to understand, rather than to designate other systems of glossing, then each gloss may well have its own lessons to teach us and we can learn a bit from all of them. Certainly the feminist analysis of both Freud and Marx has been a most educational new perspective for our society to acquire. My own philosophical position as regular readers of my damned heresies know by now is a kind of multi-gloss magnetism or a meta-gloss that tries to learn from all other glosses but does not accept any one gloss or meta-gloss at the one true map of the universe. When I am in my existentialist or phenomenologist reality tunnel, all glosses seem equally interesting as data is primate psychology but none are as important as real as what is immediately before my senses as the moment. What choices I have to make right here and right now? When I am in my rachian or non-neoreachian reality tunnel, it seems overwhelmingly obvious to me that I live among a species that is desperately sick and desperately afraid of the changes and must undergo to be cured. When I am in a Buddhist reality tunnel, the medical metaphor of sickness in right system seems as oversimplified as the Christian metaphor of sin and I merely see that the human race at this stage of its evolution has the habits inevitable at this stage of evolution. That is, that is, is and our evolution of it are simply our evolution of it. It is most interesting and amusing to step out out of all the glosses mentioned so far and look things with an ethological, ecological or Darwinian socio-biological gloss. Glosses like Christian original sin, Buddhist Maya, Marxist class war, rachian emotional plague, etc all seem from this bio-social perspective crude primate grunts attempting to articulate the criss-crossing and often tangled genetic vectors in time that make up our evolutionary history to date. Domesticated primates like wild primates or fish or ants are simply organisms trying to make a suitable habitat of the spacetime grid in which they find themselves and they often make mistakes just like any other species. When I am in my Nietzschean gloss I can contemplate all other glosses as works of art and ask which gloss if any I wish to put my will into and try to impose on the future. Should I invent my own gloss or pick somebody else's or just contemplate all glosses impartially? Nietzsche varied between prompting his own gloss, evolution towards higher intelligence and sardonic contemplation of the relatively relativity of all possible glosses. I can also enter other glosses or reality tunnels and learn new perspectives continually. Most readers think this refers hypothetically to some abstract or ideal I who should be able to do these things but I am speaking literally and autobiographically. After 20 odd years of practice of the exercises described in my cosmic trigger and Prometheus rising I have learned to quantum jump from one reality tunnel to any other reality tunnel. Every novelist and every good psychotherapist learns a bit of this art of self transformation because it is the only way to understand why other people do the weird things they do. I suggest that such leaps of ontological empathy may have value for science and philosophy generally and are not just of interest to novelists and other psychologists. In physics at present there are two meta glosses, general relativity and quantum mechanics which diverge from each other in many ways. In one sense they are they are as different as the novels of Jane Austen and Samuel Beckett. In another metaphor they are as different as the grammar of English and that of Japanese. Although these systems present us with what seem to be two quite distinct universes, physicists are not inclined to throw one out and embrace the other monogamalously or monotheistically. The general attitude among working physicists is that general relativity is one useful model and quantum mechanics is another useful model and as long as they remain useful we might as well use them. In quantum mechanics people, quantum mechanics itself there are two models of the world inside the atom, the wave model and the particle model. These do not differ merely in style like English and Japanese, they contradict each other totally like the statements Robin is a boy and Robin is a girl. Nonetheless both models are useful and physicists use both at different times without worrying about Aristotle's rule that the two contradictory statements cannot function in the same system. In art despite the dogmas of a few authorities we have learned that different glosses can be equally valuable even if they are as opposed to each other as the styles of Rembrandt and Picasso or of Van Gogh and Pollock or of Turner and Hogarth or even of Raphael and Hopper. In music although Beethoven maniacs and Mozart cultists rear up and afflict us occasionally we have in general learned to appreciate the various glosses of Vivaldi and Bach and Amadeus and Ludwig and Wagner and Elgar and Mohler etc as not being mutually exclusive but as each adding to the richness of our tradition. Is it possible that we can learn to think of models or world glosses not as true or false in some abstract and absolute sense but as the products of humans in concrete situations in space time and all possessing some kind of relative truth for the persons who create them at least and none of them big enough and inclusive enough to contain all the truth brilliant right love Robert Anton Wilson right I just get joy from reading him right Spencer skirts on censored tube live on censored tube I got pushed into it by Alder God Alder God comes and Beethoven is great for protest music gang I'm gonna read we're going into the musical okay so we're in is I think this is act one stuff oh wait a second oh cast of characters yeah we're in act one okay act one begins at page 48 right 49 and we're gonna read page 72 but I need to find a place a good starting point I need to find a good starting point this just continues and by the way just so you know the United States government persecuted Wilhelm Reich stating that he was trying to provide medical advice and he was pretending to be a doctor medical heal cancer and heal sickness without a license and without you have to look into it I looked into this a long time ago right so basically it was a medical association that was going after Wilhelm Reich through the federal government and they finally zapped him because of mail between states and whatnot oh my god look at this I gotta show you this okay so in the musical so here I'll show you this is a discussion between so in the musical there's different characters playing right so one of the characters playing is that American Medical Association and I'm going to show you this and the person reading this and saying this is supposed to say it in a let's see if this will focus Disney childish tone right tune right which is basically the way you should take in well I won't say anything just so you know right and then there's chorus massage massage massage right so we're going to start reading from there page 69 this is a symphony that has already happened the musical has already begun we're in a courthouse the federal government is persecuting Wilhelm Reich right persecuting Wilhelm Reich the musical notes the musical notes no I don't think there's musical you can go on censor tube and other free speech platforms and find the musical to this okay I'm going to read

Welcome to the Knuckleheads of Liberty. Gosh, this world has just been crazy. And I have kids too. And, you know, it's interesting to talk to them, seeing the way they see the world changing and stuff. So, you know, tell us a little bit about how you came around to Liberty. Well, I had an interesting journey. It all started off with the Internet, of course. But I think a lot of us, like younger people, we weren't necessarily inspired by the Ron Paul movement. But we were influenced by it because of the videos that we saw that were produced by the Ron Paul movement. We couldn't vote for Ron Paul at the time. But now, you know, we saw all those videos. They educated us on some of the concepts of Liberty. And then one of the things that I personally influenced me was reading Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics. I was already a leaning libertarian at that point. But when I read that book, it really elucidated everything. And I was able to see that government action is not necessary in almost all situations, especially when it comes to the economy. Have you read any more of Sowell's work? I mean, I have read Basic Economics also. And I think it's a very interesting book. I mean, some of my views already formed when I read that book. But you said it had a major impact upon you. Have you read any more of his work? Yes, I've read Discrimination and Disparities. I've read, what was it? A Race and Culture. What was the other one, though? Society. I think I forgot the title, but I've read a lot of his works. He's actually one of my favorite nonfiction authors, period. And so, yes, he's really impacted me. Oh, so sorry. Go ahead, Liam. No, I was just going to say that that is something that you and I have in common because my journey to Liberty, to where I am right now started with a book by Soul, but that was Several Rights and Wrongs. It was a book that he wrote that really changed my thinking in many ways. I was just going to say that, Jason. Go ahead. Oh, yeah. Well, Gedi, I was curious. So, yeah, I guess did you come then from sort of more of the conservative side and was this sort of a family leaning? Because I know this is one of the crazy things for most people when they kind of get red-pilled to Liberty. It isn't through the school system. The school system is pretty much teaching people that, you know, hey, government's the solution. If you want to solve a problem, vote on it. That's kind of where they're going from. It's not really market-driven. So you kind of have to get exposed from outside. So I guess how did you sort of start out, you know, starting out from the conservative side with your parents and then or something else like that? I mean, what was the spark? Well, my parents, they were from the Soviet Union originally and I was born in the former Soviet Republic of Moldova. My parents, they weren't necessarily conservative. They had some conservative leanings, but we were in California and my parents, they just considered themselves Democrats because they're like, hey, that's the main party here and, you know, they're for immigrants. Therefore, we're Democrats. So at the time when I started becoming interested in Liberty ideas, you know, around the time of 14 or 15, especially right before the 2016 election, I was going to an online charter school and just researching things online was what made me become a libertarian, leaning from like being apolitical. I just started off being libertarian and then I convinced my parents to become more conservative. So you kind of came at it from the left then because it sounds like if your parents were sort of on the, considered themselves Democrats, then you probably consider maybe, it's just kind of interesting. One of the things I like to talk about because it's just, maybe interesting for our guests to hear how somebody, you know, really, really clicked on. And we've had people from both sides, you know, people who've started out. In fact, Leon, you started out way on the left, right? When I first came to America, I would probably be classified as a socialistic Democrat, probably. Well, I was somewhere wrong there. I can't tell you specifically where on that spectrum, but I was certainly on the left. I certainly was. I was raised in a country that was essentially socialistic. I mean, I was the father of our nation, a man by the name of Dr. Eric Williams. He was a socialist, wrote several books about it, about socialism and its good glories and all that kind of stuff. But yeah, I came from the left and know I've left that so far behind. I cannot believe that I was even there at one time. But what I was trying to get out here, what it is sparked your interest though? I mean, I understand that your parents were from the Soviet Union. They were somewhat left leaning. They were like Democrats because that's natural situation in California, I guess. But what it is sparked your interest to say, well, you know, something is not right or I need to look further into this. What was the seed of your journey? So I started watching a lot of left leaning YouTubers at the time. And one of the things that really got my idea about government not necessarily being a good thing was the Iraq war and just the wars in general. The fact that we're just going into all these countries, really nearly, that was at the time, the left was really good on that issue, on the issue of war. And then that sparked my idea, well, if it's not good to go to war, right? Then I saw these libertarian guys, okay, we're not good on war. We should not just be against war. We should be against the government doing bad things here at home as well. So that's what really sparked my interest in that. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness always.

Hello everybody hooded Cobra Commander 788 here and this is a comic book review. We are looking at issue number 17 of G.I. Joe, a real American hero published by Marvel Comics. Let's start by recapping the previous issue. In issue number 16 we had an epic battle between G.I. Joe and Cobra in Washington DC and two major characters were presumed dead. The Baroness was caught in an exploding hiss tank and Hawk was shot in the back by Cobra Commander. On the cover for issue number 17 we have Major Blood on what looks like a commercial bus. He's hanging out the door and he has a pistol in his hand. Next to the bus we have a G.I. Joe. We don't know which G.I. Joe it is at this point. He is riding a ram motorcycle and he is clutching Major Blood's wrist. He looks like they are about to go through a toll booth. This cover is okay but we only get to see the G.I. Joe from the back. That's why we can't identify him and the ram motorcycle also is only viewed from the back. So a different angle might have been chosen that would have showcased the character and the vehicle a little better. The title for this issue is Loose Ends and that's an appropriate title. The epic battle from last issue left a few plot threads dangling. So this issue gives an opportunity to tie them up. The creative team for this issue is Larry Hama Scripter, Mike Vosberg Penciler and John D'Agostino Inker. It opens with Hawk lying on the pavement in what we are told is the northern outskirts of Washington D.C. Scarlet and Clutch are tending to him and Wild Bill is approaching in the Dragonfly helicopter. Hawk has three bullet holes in his back. Hawk reveals that Hawk was wearing an armored vest under his uniform which may have saved his life but he could still have internal bleeding. As Dawk is tending to Hawk the other Joe's approach on the MOBAT tank and Torpedo is still wearing his wet suit and oxygen mask on a land mission that is just weird. It seems that Joe's are blocking traffic on a busy Washington D.C. street and the drivers are becoming unruly. And one particularly rude driver tells Gun Ho that his car is a Shelby GT Cobra. Gun Ho goes berserk, rips the door off the car and smashes the car with it. There's something I like about this and something I really dislike. One thing I like is the colors for Gun Ho. They abandoned the blue color from the action figure and gave him an all green uniform. And I really like those colors a lot. I would have loved to have seen a color like that on the figure. What I don't like is this comic book seems to have a hostility towards civilians. It often pits G.I. Joe against average American citizens. And I don't think that's appropriate. After all the G.I. Joe team is supposed to be fighting for the freedom of those very citizens. So I feel they should display a bit more professionalism when dealing with somebody who just is kind of rude. Dawk has placed Hawk on a stretcher and the stretcher is being attached to the landing skid of the dragonfly so Hawk can be flown to a local hospital. In the meantime, Zap and some of the other Joe's are in the APC giving chase to Cobra Commander's his tank. And the APC is hauling the whirlwind twin battle guns and that is really cool. Unfortunately, this is something you cannot do with the toy because the APC does not have a tow hitch. I think it should have a tow hitch but that's a feature the designers neglected to put on the toy. Ace is providing some air support in the sky striker. Cobra Commander, Dr. Venom and Destro are escaping in the his tank and Destro is still in a state of shock after seeing the Baroness blown up in a his tank. He believes she is dead. On the next page we have a bit of a flashback that explains previous events and this is something that was common in comic books at the time. And I think this is important. These comic books were not written to be republished in trade paperbacks. Any one of these issues could be a reader's first issue of the comic book. So you had to give new readers an opportunity to jump on board and to get caught up on the storyline so far. Ace swoops over the his tank but there's too much civilian traffic for him to engage with the sky striker so he guides the APC toward them. We take a break from that storyline to catch up with the storyline from two issues ago. Snake Eyes and Quinn are still in a Miami jail. They were picked up by the police after crash landing a bomber on Miami beach in issue number 15. Both Snake Eyes and Quinn have some secrets. Snake Eyes has a $100 bill hidden in the lining of his uniform and Quinn has a saw blade hidden in the heel of his boot. This is a little bit impossible because in most jails that I'm aware of, they would have their clothing taken away from them and they would be given jail uniforms after booking. But we'll go with it for the sake of the story. Quinn uses the saw blade to cut through the jail bars, which is something that would probably be noticed by the guards. Returning to our other storyline, we're moving outside of Washington DC now and we are near Baltimore and Major Blood hijacks a bus full of people. It just happens to be the same bus in which Scarface is hiding. After the bus is hijacked, they crash through a toll booth. Just past the toll booth, Stalker and Grand Slam just happen to be hanging out on the Ram motorcycle and they give chase. Major Blood opens fire on them. We briefly cut back to the Quinn and Snake Eyes thread. Quinn and Snake Eyes are outside the jail now and they use Snake Eyes' $100 bill to get involved in a craps game. Returning to the APC's pursuit of Cobra Commander's his tank, before the APC can reach the his tank, Cobra helicopters swoop in. And this is, I believe, the first appearance of the Cobra Fang helicopter. We also see a Cobra cargo helicopter that is similar to a Cobra cargo helicopter that gets frequent use throughout the entire GI Joe comic book series, but it never had a toy. Returning to the Ram motorcycle's pursuit of Major Blood on the bus, Major Blood is still shooting at Stalker and Grand Slam. And there's a peculiarity about Major Blood's gun. Major Blood is firing bullets with this gun, but based on the design of the accessory that came with the figure, I believe that is a rocket firing gun. It is essentially a handheld RPG. Instead of that gun firing a rocket, it seems to be firing bullets through the rocket's tip. Grand Slam leaps onto the bus, climbs over the top, and smashes through the front windshield, kicking Major Blood in the process. Grand Slam is an underutilized character, so it's nice to see him get a little moment to do something significant. That's when Major Blood notices that Scarface is on the bus. He doesn't have much time to think about that though, because Grand Slam smashes his face. Grand Slam is a laser operator and a jet-packed trooper, but it's important to keep in mind that he is also a soldier. Every single member of the GI Joe team is a battle-hardened soldier. It's a requirement to qualify for the team. So every member of the GI Joe team, no matter what their specialty, is capable of smashing Major Blood's face. Switching back to the APC's pursuit of the HIST tank, the Fang Helicopters open fire on the Joes. But the Joes have the whirlwind twin-gatling guns, which opens fire and rips into the Fang Helicopters. The Fangs did their job though. They provided a distraction while the cargo helicopter picked up the HIST tank and escaped. Cobra Commander gets away again. That leads to an aerial battle in which Ace in the Sky Striker engages a couple Cobra Jets. Now these jets don't look anything like the Cobra Jets we got as toys. And that's because Cobra didn't actually have any jets on the shelves at the time. There were no Cobra Jet toys. So the comic book had to kind of make some things up. Ace uses the maneuver we later saw in the Top Gun movie in which he uses his air brakes to get behind an enemy jet and take him out. I'm gonna go ahead and declare it. Tom Cruise got the idea from GI Joe. The Sky Striker is damaged in the dogfight and has to return to base and cannot pursue the helicopter that is escaping with Cobra Commander. The Joes look over the damage after the battle and there's one a blonde Joe that looks an awful lot like Hawk. But of course it can't be Hawk because Hawk is in the hospital. I believe this is supposed to be short fuse. I have to admit as much as I love those early Joes, they weren't very distinctive and sometimes it can be very difficult to tell them apart. Switching back to the Snake Eyes, Quinn thread. Snake Eyes and Quinn seem to have won at the dice game. They won, it looks like a car and a cowboy hat and they seem to be generally in good spirits. Quinn though is on a quest for vengeance. His target of course is Doctor Venom. Cobra Commander Destro and Doctor Venom return to the secret Cobra base in the town of Springfield. Doctor Venom notes to Cobra Commander that he should hope that major blood is dead because major blood can reveal to Destro that Cobra Commander was behind the plot to assassinate Destro and that plot led to the presumed death of the Baroness. Is the Baroness dead though? At Bethesda Naval Hospital, major blood is being wheeled in and the doctor denies the Joes access to the operating room. It happens to be the same operating room where they are treating Hawk. Over the intercom they hear there is a female patient with third degree burns over 80% of her body. That has to be the Baroness. That means she is still alive. Major blood is just faking though. He jumps up and grabs a nurse. But Hawk is there with his sidearm to save the day. One of the doctors, the same doctor that denied the Joes access to the operating room is a secret Cobra agent and he calls Cobra headquarters to provide them with information. Now Cobra Commander knows that major blood, Hawk and the Baroness are all still alive. Destro suggests they continue with their original plan of infecting Scarface with the plague toxin and then getting him captured by G.I. Joe so he can infect their headquarters. But to do that they need to find Scarface. Scarface is in hiding. Where is Scarface hiding? On the next page, Snake Eyes and Quinn, Scarface and Destro all head toward Coney Island. So it looks like that's where we will be for the next issue. This issue is just okay. This is a transitional issue. We had a great battle in the previous issue. We're not quite ready for the next great battle and this issue just gets us from point A to point B. The issue had some good moments. I liked Grand Slam's role in the issue. We had some plot development. We found out that two characters we presumed to be dead were in fact alive. Snake Eyes and Quinn re-enter the story and that's good. And three different threads of the story are all converging on one place, Coney Island. But we're not there yet. For that we have to wait until the next issue. It does make me look forward to the next issue though and we will take a look at it next month for the next G.I. Joe comic book review. That was my review of G.I. Joe, a real American hero issue number 17. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you've enjoyed the return of comic book reviews to this channel. I will of course continue to bring you G.I.

This project will bring community-based organizations into our schools to connect with young people through counseling, mentoring. We have opened the doors to the entire village to educate our children. It's a great day to march. The essential workers need the essential tools to do their job so that they can take a break. They can get out of the inclement on weather. They can connect to the resources of the city, and that's why we are here today. It's imperative that we've been holding these conversations throughout the five boroughs. It's about quality of life. It's about this direct communication and interaction. This is the best part of the job. Education is the way. If you don't educate, you will incarcerate and you will devastate the lives of people who are abandoned along the way. And today is a starting point with our foster care scholars as they're getting the support that they deserve. Broke the barriers and youths intellect to elevate themselves to the highest positions in this city. This is the day that our ancestors waited for. It's time for us to live up to that. More than 17,000 asylum seekers have been bused directly to New York City. New York City has helped them all. But although our compassion is limitless, our resources are not. The time for aid to New York is now. We need help from the federal government. Help from the state of New York. New York City is doing our part, and now others must step up and join us.
