I gave you in order. Is that listening right now, lady. John is this our future . We know its possible to build machines much smarter than our brains. John also so much good news. We have a sea of new media year to capture the lions. Look at that. You, the public, will have five days to look on line to find out what did before i sign it. Citing things that this really dont want us to see. John what if you are hiding things you dont want the government to see . Whatever it is that what. The founder of with a pds. The internet and communication. That would be good. John the teacher does not have to be good. John freedom to put up. Will increase. John thats our show. John what keeps you safe . What prevents fraud . Most people you asks a government. Government must lay out the rules and punish fraud. Protect people. So government regulates. Over the years as more regulations and america we now have 170,000 pages of rules. People think we cant live without these, but then came the internet. Almost entirely unregulated, and it works. It is given us a new level of freedom. Lets call it Freedom Freedom 2. 0. I could not have imagined it before coble, would compete. I assume the Services Like those could not work. What a joke. Who would buy an unseen product from a total stranger without government regulation, it would make sure that the sellers are honest and a product for the. Another joke. Who would trust it. That is why we need the world but in the encyclopedia of britannica. My dad. Even i have constantly complains about government control could t imagine what would be created outside them. One who did imagine it is jimmy wales who founded with the pds. How did you think this would work . Well, its interesting. When i started that did not think about competing with anybody. I had any idea and a bunch of friends, and we just are typing and try to figure it out as we went along and had some failures and then later some successes along the way. John you started for something called nubia combat that did not work. The concept was that if we were going to have an internet encyclopedia it needed to be even more academic than a traditional encyclopedia. We had a seven stage review process to organize it. It was very intimidating for people to get involved in. It was a complete failure, and we stumbled across the concept and started using the software. We get more done in two weeks and almost two years. It was amazing. John and then it built. All of these people are editing in adding things themselves. The usage rate kept rising. Today we have nearly 500 Million People using the website every month. John just over ten years for nothing to 500 Million People. One of the biggest upsets in the world, and at the beginning this stuffy establishment said this cannot work. You need editors. The user who visits with the pds is a visitor to a public restaurant. Something that is underappreciated. Its clean because reputation makes it. The premise is that you need to at page editors. Encyclopedia britannica pays 100 people to check the accuracy of articles. A Huge Community of people who are very enthusiastic, very eager to get things right. John you pay those people. Its a volunteer community, a charitable projects. We are organized as a charity, so we exist from donations from the general public. All of the work that uc, the writing is done by the volunteer community. John how can you know who is good and who is stupid . You know, if nothing is one thing and always try to remind people is that we dont consider it would appeal to be some kind of wide open former you can come and say and do anything. People will very quickly challenging. We have some of the best and most interesting discussions you can find anywhere. Lets actually find whats true, which sources to rely on the most. Its a fascinating process. John and its pretty accurate. My site only has one mistake. Comparing the accuracy of scientific articles verses encyclopedia britannica. Panicle panels of experts and the appropriate specialty founder of course harry instapundit. Com errors per injury, three in britannica, not much difference. Not much difference, and that was several years ago. For me one of the most amusing parts, when the study was being carried out, as soon as it was published some people in the Community Came to me and said, can you get from the author the list of the errors because we want to fix them. The and the response was to issue a 20 page denunciations of the study. That is the spirit of the times. They cant fix theirs. They printed and shipping out. We just want to make it better. John and more than a thousand dollars, even to buy the cd. Youre freak. Its an astonishing thing. We are still not fully all the way to realizing the dream of a free encyclopedia for every Single Person on the planet, but were getting closer. John thank you for seeing it saying what i could not. Thank you. John the point of freedom 2. 0 is not that we dont need regulation. We do. It doesnt have to be government regulation. Economics professor writing a book called private governments. What do you mean . Most people assume that rules and regulations need to come from the state. If you look around the world today in history there are lots of examples that come from markets rather than from governments. John paypall. A great example. When they first came out they face fraud from all over the world. They turned to the fbi to try and track these people down, but the fbi has no idea who these people work, no idea what the technology was. John it cant work. That would be the traditional theory. In reality paypall realized they should take matters into their own hands. They developed a private from detection system where they would use computers to say this might be fraudulent and then send it to a human to investigate. John another one. If they did not send you a 5 a pack. At what cost to 500,000. John people will she. That is the theory, but private parties look to problems and solve them. Ebay and other groups developed private reputation mechanisms. The more the these mechanisms work the last 20 government. John one thing that keeps me out is that they created all this wealth and good stuff to when they werent connected to government. Today theyre big in government wants a piece. 114 lobbyists, course of 73. They spend millions and trying to manipulate washington. Good things are terrible to the private sector. When government gets involved it is really getting regulating, getting people getting in the way people doing things. John another example of that, years ago they said frances way at of america. Giving every person a computer instead of phone book. You cant have one Organization Planning all the things that markets can. Markets rely on so many dispersed people to invent, to try new things dry and test their ideas in the marketplace. John went out of business. Still going strong. If you look throughout history, there are tons of examples of this. Government did not understand financial markets. They thought they were forms of gambling. Government refused to enforce all but the most simple contracts. Nevertheless, brokers figured out how to do short sales, futures contracts even though none of them were enforceable by law. In london in the 1700s they traded in coffee houses. After a while they decided, lets create and enforce rules with dennis, the house. If you default you are going to get kicked out of the coffee house. We are going to call you a lameduck. That is where the expression comes from. They have to waddle out and leave the exchange. John and the coffeehouse, one of the first ones begin the london stock exchange. Thats right. The mother became my word is my bond it. John thank you. We need government. We need regulation to make sure. It does not have to be government regulation. Coming up, how smart are robots about to get . Also, how the internet helps us keep an eye on government and out government officials polk that id next. I thought i cou, and i wished it would just go away. [rock music playing] it was my adhd. And like many kids with adhd, i didnt outgrow it. One of the issues i had was not being able to focus. I would read and i would reread the same sentence. Youd read it over and over and over ain. And then, five minutes later, i wouldnt know what i just read. It wasnt sticking with me. It wasnt sinking in. And that, to me, was really frustrating. As i got older, i was still having that issue. And thats when i knew i needed to talk to the doctor. Announcer if you were diagnosed with adhd as a kid, you might still have it. Find out more. Take a quiz at ownyouradhd. Com to help recognize the symptoms, like inattention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, then talk with your doctor. I take responsibility for my adhd. Its your adhd. Own it. No more secrecy. Thats a commitment i make to you. John no more secrecy sounds good. Everybody applauded. Transparency is important in government. Government officials get to use force. They spend our money. We wouldnt be able to see what they do. They like that. Once in office even advocates of transparency kirk start keeping stuff secret. Bumping his head against the problem. He works for the competitive enterprise institute, a think tank that like to keep it up and governments. They dont like to snooping around in government when you ask questions. They dont get the joke any longer. John you file a freedom of information requests. Why . We have a legal right to inspect public records. Their public. Im paying for this microphone. Were paying for all of this government. The progressives got one right. We have a need for these things. John and that is why there is the freedom of affirmation that passed during the vietnam war because congress was upset that Lyndon Johnson was keeping secrets. It allows anyone get even than non citizen to demand correspondents documents, and the government can refuse only if it can show the National Security issue or just an irrelevant private matter. All records are present hours because we are the employer. There are nine. Personal, private, National Security, the geologic formations. Commonsense exemptions, but the rest is also common sense. These are our records. We have proven we need to see them. John your book called the liberal warren transparency in the you point out it was the liberals to put these rules in effect. And frankly the boston globe wrote that president bush expanded the number of agencies with authority to classified documents a secret including the epa and the ever pulled department. So the republicans are doing this, not just liberals. We have at least five leftwing groups who are actually more concerned about the transparency that because. Obama is worst in bushes they said was the worst ever or come out right and say obama is the worst ever. The obama administration. John he has rejected more freedom of information act requests than bush. Also prosecuted more whistleblowers including as by simply because they blew the whistle on software boondoggles and someone. Obama is the worst threat comes to transparency ever. We know from their behavior is their hiding things that desperately dont want us to seek. Now, john maybe youre a busy body, the political enemy in the dow what youd have this stuff. I dont blame them. Im paying for the microphone. I didnt ask whether they wanted me to see it. These in my records unless the burden is on them and they can provide cant. What theyre doing is telling us things that arent true, finding it increasingly according to their emails. John the emails told us about solyndra and the people who gave money who were getting it back. You wanted it, needed it, they dont want us to see whats going on until a carbon tax is enacted, for example. John the apartment of justice was running an activist website, real climate. Were all going to die from Global Warming. A government office. Nasa was doing that and doj filed an affidavit admitting to. I said i would like to see what youre doing a my time because they erased all the day stamps showing theyre doing this from the office. They submitted an affidavit filed by the department of justice who shrug their shoulders and walked on. We have an elaborate Document Destruction under way in violation of the criminal code which is why we are giving you these records. John now trickier, they use fake names. The head of the epa, using a government account under the fake name richard windsor. He is her dog. Wind a fake name . John the epa said it created the dresses she would have an email address that would not be flooded with the mills from the public. John wide a fake name. Why dont you want people john tortured. To get anything done you have to have some private conversations, tests, ideas. There is an exemption for that. You dont have to create a fake name. John president obama was very specific about how the public should know what the government is doing. Heres a clip. Is a bill that ends up on my desk as president. You, the public, have five days to look on line and find out what is in the before i sign it. John again, lots of applause which seems pretty simple. Five days. Its pretty good. Yet he broke it. The first deal he signed. It was too much. The hallmark, you know where they struck those deals with the Drug Companies . On aol. Private servers run out of the white house to hide from us. They are not that into transparency. John thank you for trying to help us find out whats going on. Coming up, how Technology Makes it easier for citizens journalists, people like you to expose treachery in government. Put yourself was up in the air. We have a sea of new media here to capitalize. [beep] [indistinct chatter] [kids talking at once] [speaking foreign language] [heart beating] [heartbeat continues] [faint singing] [heartbeat, music playing louder] im feeling better since you know me i was a lonely soul, but thats the old me. Announcer this song was created with heartbeats of chilen in need. Find out how it can help Frontline Health workers bring hope to millions of children at everybeatmatters. Org. We are a citizen journalism army, and we are going to take this country back. Thank you very much. John thats a scene from a new documentary about citizen journalism. He died shortly after that speech, but the ideas he expressed live on. No longer do we have to rely on the pompous leftwing coup was from abc, cbs, nbc, pbs. We have choices. You just expect this, but what he called citizens journalism is a new freedom to. Zero idea. To explain, lets go to the experts. He now all by himself gets more readers than many newspapers used to. Were also joined by a group produced that movie entitled hating breitbart. Why did you call it hating breitbart . One of the things that we found interesting was the level of venom directed toward him. A lot of people who are in the opinion revenues will get that. He actually seemed to really gain energy from the things that were directed at them. John you did not mind being paid. I think he loved it. I think he loved being hated as much as 11 people agreeing with him. He left the back and forth the idea so much that he drew energy from it whether or not someone agree with them are not. I think he definitely gained energy. John and he thrived by reporting things that the Mainstream Media was just skipping and the biggest example is the acorn story. You were part of the beginning. Dogooders, helping poor people. It turned out they were sleazy and maybe engaging in voter fraud. Then came this pen pen prostitute. Utility. Speaking with james okeefe about a video he had done. And at A Maura Flynn at the end of the conversation i asked him, so, what are you working on now. He began to describe the acorn videos that he and anna were working on. I couldnt believe what i was hearing. I thought, well, is this kid has what he says he has this is huge i asked him what his plan was for releasing these videos, and he said, he had approached the networks and released in that way. I strongly recommended that he not do that. John so he went to breitbart to release them gradually. They were encouraging teen prostitution, tax evasion, encouraging people like to the government. The Mainstream Media still smeared at this. A columnist at the columbia journalism review said okeefe and giles do not seem to take a journalistic approach. The conservative activist. And in your film breitbart answers. Journalism school, yet i happen to believe they are the best journalists and ever come across in my entire life. John all right. Hyperbole aside. This is what is new to people. Going around the Mainstream Media. Telling people what they need to know. That is what he did. That is not what most establishment journalists seem to want to do. They want to peddle the narrative of the date. Its usually one that is politically favorable to the Democratic Party or at least the establishment in general. Which was at the time, just nice to my good people. We dont want to touch this icky stuff. More than sympathetic. I believe the Traditional Press was protective. And as andrew released the story that proved to be the case. John they still did not coverage, and congress be funded acorn before that New York Times and Washington Post reporter on a. Thats exactly right. The senate moved to defund. The census severed all its ties. That was all before the New York Times or the Washington Post had written a column. John another widely reported piece of propaganda that was debunked by the cell phone cameras that breitbart talked about was the claim from some u. S. Congressman the racist the Party Members screamed and fought in the inward. So he asked tea Party Members, send us what is on your cell phones. That is the video we found. Looking down as theyre walking down the stairs, from the bottom of the steps watching. We have a video. Of course we have the video with a step off. And then we have video from across the street even. John he offered 100,000 for anyone who could show someone screaming the inword. I dont think we have never seen anything where you have videos being taken from youtube to piece together a story to be told this way. I think that that is another sign that we are in a new med
