  • trippyest video ever.

  • Nice ! More tech on "Wonderful energy" by HorizonDelta ;-)

  • It's a non sensical rant of jibberish crap.

  • MONEY MORE MONEY@!!! BLESS YOU LITTLE SOUL, i hope you grew up after the senate

  • this was one of the first youtube videos i ever watched four years ago! i cant believe it doesnt have more views -- it's so good. sure its trippy to watch but its actually really dark and foreboding if you listen to the words

  • i love this song/interview/video/thingy it just works. despite how crazy andismple itis

  • it's like complaining about cyclists blocking roads and causing traffic jams it simply doesn't happen, he just needs an ISP that wasn't made with parts from 1943...

  • net neutrality = more newspeak. there will b no neutrality at all. it will b ENTIRELY cencored. a washed out version of what we MIGHT b allowed to look at.

  • eniacs to the LEFT of me...

    edvacs to the RIGHT of me..

    univacs in front of me..

    tubes, trucks and thunder! XD

  • yea i totally agree with u altho the guy is a complete dousch he does have a good point here

  • he was being sarcastic.

    what do you do go around youtube agreeing with the first comment?

  • this man is a clear thinker

  • Lol 9:15

  • I cant follow this guys logic. Lol

  • He's in jail, I wonder where he will receive the internets series of tubes... his back plug? :)

  • hahaha his ass got setenced!

  • rofl 6:01 NO IM NOT FINISHED

  • rofl 6:01 NO IM NOT FINISHED

  • rawr. some1 needs 2 come have sex with me!

    im bored =( O5

  • What the hell is Uncle Ted talking about? Oh well he'll be the bitch in jail.

  • Mr. Stevens should find out if he can recieve his internet in jail.

  • If you listen to the music starting at about 5:03 it's a crazy funky techno remix of Fur Elise (Beethoven).

  • Thanks so muchy for naming this song. Its one I have heard many times but did not know the name. Now that I know the name I am able to find a wealth of great techno versions of it on youtube.

  • its nice backing music.

    his voice is funny to listen to

    and ten minutes of it too!!

  • It's a hex key for HD DVDs and Blu-ray Discs, they tried to ban it from spreading across the internet, the people fought back.

  • I agree with the senator about the importance of Net Neutrality. It's a shame the media chose to focus on the way this speech was delivered instead of it's content.

  • He wants to eliminate net neutrality as we know it today. His speech proves that he doesn't know how the internet works, and for what for what his job is, and what he is purposing, thats terrifying.

  • I got the impression that he was in SUPPORT of net neutrality. Just goes to show what a ramble his speech was.

  • Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response was there anything that could even be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

  • how much of the joint did he not inhale when he took a breath as the seconds passed by because I don't know how the air keeps this speech above the sunrise when he toked on his favourite puffer and fluffer seeing's how, uh... uh... now, what was this man was saying?

  • If you listen it makes sense actually, you just have to get past his stuttering, which is kind of hard.

    Have you ever actually smoked marijuana? lol

  • Yes, I did smoke marijuana. Albeit twice or three times, and at the most stupidest time in life as well... I smoked a few with my friends while I was in the US Army. Stupidest times. It was quite fun at the time and the added weird noises really flipped my mind.

    What is said does make sense... it's extremely difficult to figure out what is said. It almost sounds like double talk.

  • I would agree, but once you wade through the crap it makes sense, although I can't really tell what is position actually is... I've never heard any weird noises, definitely makes music cooler though. To each his own though, that's my motto.

  • this is the pasword of your mom hole

  • really cool video man.. apart from the issues being discussed it just sounds cool playing in the background

  • This is why government regulation leads to idiocy. Government concentrates power, and people like this who have been in government for 50 years try to act like they know about new things. The experts in the marketplace should regulate the internet through capitalism...not morons like this guy who think they know how the world should look.

    He seems to think the "internet" is some big building.

  • he's now looking to ban wikipedia/myspace/and blogs as well as other "interactive" sites from american public schools. which means youtube is probably gone too.

  • Oh man. He said "these people are charging in effect for what they are delivering." Well I guess they would. Then it sounds like someone says oh my god in the background

  • "trying to completely obfuscate meaning." -- exactly

  • I send and recieve internets over my personal internet just fine. Except for that time when my neighbor jammed a dump truck in the tube. Stupid neighbor.

  • I'm not laughing. You laughing?

  • I'm so sorry.

  • We don't have very many puter, net, electronic geeks in politics. This whole speach was written for him by some intern.

  • I think you must be wrong. Not even the Americans give Senate internships to 6-year-olds. [Can't. One of our Fearless Leaders would hit on the little guys.]

  • Its a 2-tier system! LOL! You americans are so screwed having a guy like this in charge of e-commerse regulation.

  • there should be a laugh track played in the background whenever he says something silly.

  • The Problem is not that the country is run by retards, but that these retards are told by Lobygroups what to Legislate. That these people actually have no idea what they are actually talking about ofcourse comes in handy.

    And in this case I think that he might be just a bit way too old for this Job.

  • These are the old men running things...down

  • hey nice video...way better than the techno version of sen. ted stevens speech, its an interesting argument though, the first one to build a (bigger) bridge losses, because everyone can use it without having payed for it.

  • I pay for my bandwidth.. the websites I download from or view, pay for their bandwidth.. WTF IS THE PROBLEM?!!

  • The problem is the current system doesn't provide enough opportunity to extort consumers and business.

  • Stevens needs a high colonic.

  • Ok, first there'll be a new domain: ".peon" as in www.metamucil.peon and all Americans except those running large corporations will be forced to use AOL. Why? To protect the children from terrorists of course. If the internets are clogged with people pilfering books from the profit share of huge conglomerates the terrorists win.

  • Its offical. This country is run by retards.

  • He stutters a lot!

  • It's like he has no idea what he's talking about. Isn't this guy supposed to be regulating e-commerce or something? WHY IN THE HELL DID IT TAKE SO LONG FOR HIM TO GET HIS EMAIL. Every time I here this speech, I just think "Is congress really this... ignorant?"

  • I think in the US leadership is measured by ignorancy.

  • There is an amazing amount of irony in this statement.

  • Is that so\? But it is true isn\'t it\? If a guy is totally ignorant then he is stable and so perceved by the retard majority of US as a good leader\.

  • Damn i finally got it! Probably is the language.

  • stop dumping your videos onto my internets...your cloging my tubes! lol

  • JOIN THE FIGHT FOR A FREE INTERNET AND NET NEUTRALITY!

    PLEASE CLICK ON MY PROFILE (...just click on my name...) AND VISIT MY "MY SPACE" SITE WHICH IS MENTIONED THERE. There you will find further videos, news and links!

  • this = amazing/hilarious on mushrooms

  • that guy is tongue tied

  • WTf is he saying! I can't understand a single sentence

  • what a fucking IDIOT!! he knows nothing about the internet or computers in general... what an embarrasement for the USA. if he had talked like this here in norway he would've gotten dismissed. how can he regulate the internet if he doesn't know anything about it? i hate ignorant old americans.

  • I'm with you, Sir.

    I know that our American politicos are harming all the world -- and I can't tell you how sorry I am for

    that --;

    but it's worse here in God's Country, where we're not only being harmed, but embarrassed to death before the whole world.

    BTW, did you know that my countrymen repudiate Darwin? God, what a headache I've got.

  • Another quote, and it's from bush, himself: "Who cares about the Constitution? It's just a goddamn piece of paper". He actually SAID that in public! And he swore on a bible that he'd support it & defend it.

    Another Senator pointed out that he didn't swear on the Constitution to defend the bible. Look what's happening!

  • Bush hasn't a clue WHAT he means from one day to the next. He's not just moronic: he's a sociopath. I mean this literally, no hyperbole: he's a "man" without conscience. His stupidity is not the worst of his characteristics. He's a very bad man, intent only on his own power and on enriching himself and other overprivileged fellows. The deaths and dismemberments in his wake are clearly of no note to him. God help the USA. God help the world.

  • Ahhh, You've read the book about the bush dynasty. I'm only ½ way thru. What you say is clear; it's about power & money for him & his elites. Privatize everything and get the government out of the social service business. Not only has he privatized and outsourced torture and soldiering, it is also spying and keeping track of the internet.

  • He wants the ISPs to do his spying for him. He'll give them that job in exchange for whatver 2-tiered plan for providing extra speed to those who must pay for it. In any case, the public looses - IMHO

  • What he means is that information is not sent across the internet in a massive clump. It has to be metered out in small packets. Massive amounts of commecial crap can clog up bandwidth and tie up servers, so that the stuff you want to see is delayed or made inaccessible. He's right, he's just really bad at explaining it.

  • well then he shouldn't be in charge of explaining it maybe you could apply for the job

  • Being stuipid WILL make it hard for one to explain things.

  • Thanks for the clarity. I needed it. I think my concern is with regulating content, rather than the ammount of it. I don't want my content to be judged by 3rd parties. For instance, YouTube is banned in Turkey. There is plenty of anti-administration content on YouTube, and I see that as healthy - as long as pro-administration content treated w/o favor by the regulators. I want to be my own 'decider' - and I don't want anyone peeping in to see what I decide.

  • soularddave: We're in a great deal of trouble in America. It will take decades to clean up the mess that Bush & Associated Thugs have dealt us -- IF the ppl have the will to mend our losses. People who will torture abroad, will CERTAINLY wiretap and worse at home. We've actually lost habeas corpus! The Great Writ is no more! WTH?

  • Yes, the Internet is a bunch of tubes. YouTube happens to be one of those tubes. Nice observation, thetoad.</sarcasm>

  • Your selection of music to play as backbeat is very well picked. I second the need to have this on vinyl to actually make use of it... oh who am I kidding, I'll make use of it sans vinyl. Exellent job, sir.

  • if someone had edited this speach for him it would have made great sence. yes the netflix thing was completly wrong but they way he descibed how the internet works in its most basic breakdown (series of tubes) is oretty much what it is... its just a bad analogy

  • whaaaaa?

  • great music, unbelievably dumb politician

  • nice scratching!! .. do doo doo do dooo da internets

  • this video brings me inner peace

  • good one!

    SSsssssooooooo GOOD.

  • Hey, what is the name of music playing in the background?

    It's cool and smooth!

  • This guy just voted himslf a raise - and got it !

  • Those who run governments in other countries don't talk like this. This idiot makes the USA a laughingstock everywhere on the planet. I'd like him to explain electronic voting or stem cell research. Look who's in charge of the asylum now !

  • soularddave:

    Problem I keep having in regard to American government is just that it's not accceptable to make fun of the retarded...

    I WANT to speak out, but this is the usual

    decadence-downgoing thing: they really don't want to know.

    [How else to explain Geo. W. Bush, the Moron King?]

    Truly, we're screwed.... any advice? PLEASE. We need advice....

  • This is the same 82 year old buffoon that wears his Hulk necktie for days when he expects fierce debate in the senate (http://www.youtube.com/watch?­v=kv4vj_vlIOw&search=ted%20ste­vens). Who does he think he's fooling? It's clear he doesn't understand a word he's saying. He received "internet" from his staff?

  • Perhaps he thinks that it means 'head'.

  • my god... 1 min was more than enough

  • I agree, sort of...

    Problem is, tho',

    that the best seconds come LATE in the video and without the foregoing stuff, they don't quite make sense

  • Wow... we really need to get some younger politicians working for us, or at least ones who know what the hell they're talking about. I want to get this on vinyl and scratch it, his stuttering makes it just too tempting.

  • Aqivith: please GO for it.

    & please post a note on my homepage to alert me that you've uploaded. Cannot wait.

  • I heard Netflix has hired Ted Stevens as their new pitchman. I've never heard someone explain their business model so well.

  • the terrorists must be laughing at us with this yahoo in charge. u can guess what bin laden's next move will be. he'll send thousands of movies through the tubes killing our our personal internets... now i'll never get that internet, u jackass senator!

  • I can't believe no one laughed at him while he babbled for 10 freaking minutes.

    My head hurts.

  • DRUNK BASTARD! When I first heard this, he seemed to make sense, but the longer you listen, the more his sentences and points get all disconnected. He sounds like someone who's drunk or stoned, they're positive they make sense to themselves, but they're totally illogical. ... anyway, about this video, what does all that crap on the screen have to do with anything? I mean why not film fish farting.

  • You missed that part?

  • Blocking chille Porn? What?

  • ubba dubba bubba dubba. What an idiot. Not one cogent sentence.

  • Lol he's making it up as he goes along, pulling his facts out of his behind.

  • "Will the honorable senator Abe Simpson please return the floor?"

    "HABAAFLEGE! INTERNETS!"

  • I cant believe this idiot may destroy the internet, he doesnt know what the hell he is talking about.

  • he's drunk

  • love

  • he says himself that "no one here has even defined what net neutrality is" now that's American, to support/ don't support something you don't understand (who cares what it is, which side is $paying$ more?) politians disguised me, maybe he is drunk, maybe he just let Bush write his speach =)

  • OMG what else has he regulated!

  • doubt he can regulate his own bowels

    [full of shit; get it?]

  • yo stop typing comments you faggot

  • If you click on the space to show you all comments [it's at the bottom], you get some context for what people have written.

  • So, I figured it out: He's drunk! Ted's had one too many!

  • Can't really account for stupidity w/ drunkenness. Mmel Gibson tried to get by, saying that being 3 sheets to the wind had turned him antisemitic. doubt that.}

    Problem is, when [if?] they sober up,

    they're STILL:

    * Stupid

    * AntiSemitic

    * [fill in the blank]

  • <a href="http://www.youtube.com/w­atch?v=DClkE64nFDY"><img border="0" alt="" title="TED STEVENS" src="http://photos1.blogger.co­m/blogger/4006/1667/1600/tucke­r1a.jpg"/></a>

  • ok my html does not work on youtube. But you can use that code to creat a "TED STEVENS MUST DIE" banner. Which is a knockoff of John Tucker must die marketing campaign.

  • I dont understand him.

  • you must have a brain then..

  • that means your normal..

  • hey, its me..

    the fool who threw this together..

    i gotta say..

    whut worries me..

    is that he makes so much non-sence..

    that it took me forever to even figgure out whut side he is on..

    the majority of people arnt to bright..

    and to them this guy just might appear to make sence..

    thats whut worries me....

  • Lol, it is sad that so few senators truly understand the technology.

  • The Not a dumptruck, it is a series of tubes is funny. If this tart gets his way the internet will be owned by corporations. I am sure they love him because he has no clue combined with power. ALASKA....do they even have the broadband there....lol

  • That's like letting UPS owning tollroads, and charging other cars and trucks a premium while thier trucks travel for free.

  • Very Good comparison Super Satan...

  • This guy is a freakin id10t, I cannot believe that a retard is the voice against net neutrality. This guy has no clue what the internet is. He probably has to call tech support to check his mail.

    I end by saying I'm sick to my stomach

  • To the point, vmoffei.

    What you say is only true.

    Too bad our gov't is so constipated that it cannot get around to impeaching the Head Honcho, the Guy in Chief, the Decider who gives us all these incompetent nutjobs to head up agencies that some of us CARE about.

    Not to worry: I'm sure that this bozo did his MoronKing a solid at some point.
