Daniel Davis, Welcome back to the fifty 10 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: five KRCY Morning Show. My friend, always a pleasure. 11 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 2: God with the morning. Tell you Brian, good to see you. 12 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: Hey, I can see you, and the technical issues have 13 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: been resolved. I see Joe Streckers back where he belongs 14 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: to the production boost. So those details ironed out now. 15 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: I mean I was doing Dealer's Choice last week. We're 16 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: a pick a topic. I just wanted to start on 17 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: the rush of Ukraine situation this morning because I saw 18 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: a couple of articles and headlines I kind of wanted 19 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: to bounce off you and get your reaction. First Off, 20 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: you've documented, explained many many times the precarious situation, the 21 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: Ukrainians are in relative to the strength of Russia's military. 22 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: Ukraine's running out of soldiers, warm bodies, They're short on equipment, 23 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: They're begging the world for assistance and help, and YadA, YadA, YadA. 24 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: I saw this article, and while the article does acknowledge, 25 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: you know, it's like the fog of war. The numbers 26 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: are a bit fuzzy, but a lot of Ukrainian soldiers 27 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: are deserting. And the one article I read was Ukrainian 28 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: prosecutors handling more than three hundred thousand desertion cases. The 29 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: number of people deserting and the number of people deserting 30 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: within any given time frame, regardless of the overall number, 31 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: is pretty substantial. That this is a part of the 32 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: problem they're facing that I wasn't even aware of. I 33 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: get the concept of desertion, but if you can't get 34 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: your own citizens to fight against the Russians, I mean, 35 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: this is just another domino falling for Ukraine. Do you 36 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: think these figures are accurate? Is that kind of your 37 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: understanding of what's on the front lines in the battle. 38 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: They are accurate, And I can tell you I have 39 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: firsthand knowledge from a former cabinet official in the first 40 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 2: couple of years of the Zelenski administration out of Kiev, 41 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: and they said that the situation is generally worse than 42 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: what's being reported because they try to put a cap 43 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 2: on all the bad news. You have a combination of 44 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: several things working together that are fatal to the Ukraine. 45 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: Side. 46 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: Number one is the desertions you mentioned like that. I 47 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 2: think that they're working three hundred thousand. They've had one 48 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty one thousand between January first and October 49 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: thirty first. I don't know what the numbers are for 50 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: the month of November, but it was one hundred and 51 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 2: sixty one thousand. Then at the same time you had 52 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: approximately two hundred thousand men of between the ages of 53 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 2: eighteen and twenty two flee the country. 54 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: They left. 55 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 2: You have somewhere around seventeen thousand force mobilizations per month 56 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 2: that they bring in, and then there's the it's still 57 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: a state secret, but some huge number of casualties per month. 58 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: And when you see the number of men that are 59 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: force mobilized then come up and get wounded, of those 60 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: that fight, then the number that flee because of that 61 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: they left the country, and the desertions, you see that 62 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 2: they are literally physically shrinking by a substantial portion every month, 63 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: while the Russian side continues to grow every month because 64 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: they recruit, not force mobilized, but recruit more people than 65 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: they lose through all means every single month. So while 66 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 2: they're getting bigger and stronger, the Ukraine side is shrinking. 67 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: And it's just a mathematical certainty that at some point 68 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: math will take its effect and you will see a 69 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: collapse somewhere of the front. We're starting to see early 70 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: signs of that in multiple places along the front line. 71 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin had a press conference last night where he 72 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: announced several cities had had followed, etc. 73 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: Pikrovosk was one that he claimed to be captured. This 74 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: the Russian proclaims final victory over Key City Pokrovosk on 75 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: eve of Putin Witkoff peace plan meeting. Timing is everything, 76 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: So they're going in with what arguably is yet another 77 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: in their cap on the front lines to negotiate a resolution, 78 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: which of course is going to require some land concessions, 79 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: which sounds like the land concessions are going to be growing. 80 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: Well, here's the issue. It's number one. There's no question 81 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: that Russia announced that on the eve of Woodcoff's meeting intentionally. 82 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: The fact is they basically already had it almost ten 83 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: days ago. There was just a few outlying neighborhoods that 84 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 2: they had to clear, and I guess they were waiting 85 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 2: on this. I don't know, but I was wondering why 86 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: they haven't announced it, because they have had effective control 87 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: over it for nearly two weeks now. So that was Pokrovsk. 88 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 2: Now that there are about two thousand additional Ukrainian troops 89 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 2: that are physically surrounded in the sister city Mirnograd, there 90 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 2: are now no more possibility of them escaping. In the 91 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: Zaparisha area, there is another settlement that on the way 92 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: to the city of Zaparision now putting that at risk. 93 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 2: There is Krasny Leman has been seeing Russian advances. And 94 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: then one of the biggest ones is up in the 95 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: Kharkiv area, in a place called of Chansk has now 96 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 2: also been completely captured by the Russians. And then one 97 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: of the most important things Putin said that we didn't 98 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: know yesterday was that they now have plans to capture 99 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: the province of Nuper Krools start it's the city Denipro. 100 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: They now are going to add another oblast that they're 101 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 2: going to conquer and clear. That's news, and I'm sure 102 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 2: that's gonna have a big effect when WHITCOF gets to town. 103 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: But the bottom line for Russia is, y'all, I don't 104 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: know why y'all are talking about security guarantees and coalition 105 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 2: to the willing and stuff. He goes, because there's nothing 106 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,799 Speaker 2: you can do that's going to stop us from taking 107 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: what we want on the battlefield. So you either have 108 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 2: a negotiated settlement on the terms we're willing to contemplate today, 109 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: or we will continue to go in at least up 110 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 2: to the Danepa River. And I don't see anything that 111 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 2: can stop the western side. 112 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: And these regions you're referring to either captured or maybe 113 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: will be captured up to the Never River. Are they 114 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: Russian dominated? In other words, in early on we talked 115 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: about Crimea. I mean, it was logical for Russia to 116 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: want it was built made of primarily Russian sympathized leading 117 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: individuals that just happen to be in the Ukraine border. 118 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: I understand conceptually that are we starting to see the 119 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: Russians get into areas that are devoutly shall I say, 120 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: patriotically Ukrainian. 121 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 2: No, no, they're not even close to that yet. Really, 122 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 2: when you look at demographically everything up to the Danepa 123 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 2: River is primarily ethnic Russian, and pretty substantial portion of it. 124 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: The further west you go from the Danepa River, then 125 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 2: the percentage just drop off perceptuously, and then it becomes, 126 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 2: you know, furthest to the west it's you know, anti 127 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: and violently anti Russian in the Ukrainian going forward. But 128 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 2: you're talking about the cities of Kharkiv and Odessa, which 129 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: are the two jewels that are still in Ukraine control. 130 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: Those are heavily Russian population, and of course they claim 131 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 2: historically they're Theirs, et cetera. But now then you see 132 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 2: that they're moving towards that one in the Kharkiv in 133 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: the north, because now they're into what's called the operation 134 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: space of the Kharki Obelist leading right to the city. 135 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: And then because of these shots that the West has 136 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: been doing through Ukraine to take out their two of 137 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: their big tankers in the so called Shadow Fleet, many 138 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: in Russia are now saying, all right, that's the last straw. 139 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: Now then the only way we can stop that is 140 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 2: to take Odessa. And so this this may open up 141 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: a new path to where they and they're going to 142 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 2: be on go beyond the Daneper River in the south, 143 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: even all the way to Danepper eventually. I don't know 144 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: how long it might take, but that seems to be 145 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: in the crosshairs now. 146 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: Well, maybe the delay in negotiating a peace resolution is 147 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: they want to capture all of the regions that they 148 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: can claim are made up of these sort of Russian 149 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: loyalist people. 150 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 2: And look, let's just be blunt here, take the emotions 151 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: out of it for a moment. Militarily, it makes a 152 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 2: lot of sense for the Russians to say, hey, why 153 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: do I want to worry about thinking about twenty eight 154 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: points or nineteen points and give you this, then i'll 155 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 2: take that. You can take this thing over here, when 156 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 2: they can say, we'll just keep going like we are 157 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 2: with the status quo until we don't have to negotiate anything. 158 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 2: We'll simply take by force of arms what we want. 159 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: The cost will be high, but they have the cost, 160 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 2: They have the resources to pay that, both in blood, 161 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: treasure and ammunition. They can do it. And so from 162 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 2: that perspective, because Russia is thinking long term. They're not 163 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: thinking just get to the end of the year or 164 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: just get to the end of this war. They're thinking 165 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 2: established security, you know, going forward for decades, et cetera. 166 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: And for them to pay that process is not that 167 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 2: high because the payoff for their country, as they see it, 168 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 2: is high. That's the problem that I don't think we've 169 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 2: come to grips with yet at the negotiating table. 170 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: Well, and I'm sure that they're really looking forward to 171 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: say so they can call something a win in the 172 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: wind column after so many gimming the Soviet Union foul, 173 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: they lost a lot of regions and provinces, they things 174 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: move western. So I think they're in it for a 175 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: you know, a moral victory as well as the land 176 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: acquisition victory on top of everything. Would it would serve 177 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: as least incentive for the patriotic Rush want to continue 178 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: to fight this fight, unlike the Ukrainians who are apparently 179 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: fleeing the battlefield. 180 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Brian, it's stronger than that because it's not 181 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 2: just the ay of moral victory against Ukraine. It is 182 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: a massive victory against NATO. And that's how they would 183 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 2: see it because NATO has done everything in their power, 184 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 2: fifty nations, all the stuff that we've given, everything that 185 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 2: we've tried with training, with weapons, ammunition, the intelligence, support, targeting, support, 186 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: long range. If all of that fails, it won't just 187 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 2: be a paper victory. It will be a pretty substantial 188 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: victory that many around the world will observe and go, 189 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 2: holy smokes. Everything NATO tried to do failed. So it 190 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 2: is a big deal. And one of the reasons why 191 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 2: I think that we should say, let's don't get to 192 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 2: that point. Let's have an ugly negotiated deal now, so 193 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 2: that we can prevent them from getting all that kind 194 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 2: of a victory, at least a full one, because otherwise 195 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: it'll just look like we could do nothing and we 196 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 2: could not stop the Russians all the way up to 197 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 2: the border. 198 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: Take your wins where you can get them. Apparently, one 199 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: more thing I have to ask in you know, moving forward, 200 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: in the aftermath of whatever this war leads to, whatever 201 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: solution negotiated or not. The breadbasket of the region Ukraine 202 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: talked about the fields, the grain, the abundance of all 203 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: these resources. Who in the hell is going to be 204 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: there to farm the land? Daniel Davis. 205 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, there's plenty of people that will farm 206 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 2: it because it'll it'll just be under the Russian control, 207 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 2: but the people themselves will will still farm it. The 208 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 2: bigger problem, though, Brian, is that the amount of ordinance 209 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 2: that had been expended there and bombs and unexploded ordinance, 210 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 2: bomb fragments, et cetera, is so massive it's going to 211 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 2: take I bet more than a decade, probably a lot 212 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 2: more than a decade to get all that taken out. 213 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 2: And you're talking mines as well, so a lot of 214 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 2: that some of the best most fertile territory is sowed 215 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 2: with mines and unexploded bomb fragments, et cetera. And you've 216 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 2: got to get all that stuff cleared out before you 217 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 2: can even start to work in and no matter who 218 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 2: controls it. So that's something that's going to be negatively 219 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 2: affected for a long long time to come. 220 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 1: It sure is. But given the gravity of that problem, 221 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 1: I would like to think some you know, international body 222 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: of folks, maybe like the Baby Blue Hats, could go 223 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: in and start solving that problem on behalf of humanity 224 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: given all the unexploded ordinance. 225 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we still have people doing d mining 226 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: operations in Visa. There's no question did a lot of 227 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 2: people want to do that, but we've got to have 228 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: a security environment to allow it. That's the problem. 229 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: Daniel Davis, retired Lieutenant Colonel. Find him where you get 230 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: your podcast, Daniel Davis Deep Die. Find him every week 231 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: here at eight thirty beginning on Tuesdays here in the 232 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: fifty five Case Morning Show. Very informative, very enlightening. I like, yes, 233 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: telling it like it is. You don't sugarcoat anything, Daniel. 234 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: We all need a healthy dose of that man to 235 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: really come to grips with what's going on. 236 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 2: But we got to have a healthy job that's still 237 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 2: that we can get to something that actually can sustain 238 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 2: and be good for the outcome. If you don't do that, 239 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 2: then you're going to be left with whatever's left over. 240 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 2: Stop the Death's year and my goal I think in 241 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 2: the long run, Daniels. Until next week, have a great week, 242 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 2: my friend, my friend, Thanks for your time. Eight forty 243 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 2: one fifty five KRC
