1
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe.

3
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: Katty arm Strong and and he is Armstrong and Getty Strong.

4
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: And coming up hot.

5
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 4: People complain about the horrible experience of being good looking.

6
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 4: Stay with us, Hurst, you don't like being hot, disfigure

7
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 4: yourself then, apparently, whoa lord?

8
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 2: Wow?

9
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 4: What but first foreigners in their wacky economies.

10
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: Ah.

11
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 4: I asked kild to get something ready, and this is

12
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 4: what he came up with.

13
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 2: Oh, it's so bad.

14
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 5: It's wonderful horns with a cash register sound foreigners and

15
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 5: they're wacky economies.

16
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 4: All right, I gotta get myself together. The first story

17
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: makes me so happy. Do you have any memory of

18
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 4: when Javier Malaya is at Malay? I can never remember.

19
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 4: Got elected to run Argentina after years of socialists and

20
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 4: totalitarian rule.

21
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: And he's a libertarian type guy.

22
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 5: He's also with all his dogs, he calls his kids

23
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 5: and that sort of thing.

24
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: But I like his politics right in a wacky haircut

25
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: and the rest of it.

26
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 4: And because the media could portray him as somehow trumpy,

27
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 4: he got a lot of attention. But now that he's

28
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 4: actually been in power and is trying to do what

29
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 4: he promised he would do. It's funny. The mainstream media

30
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 4: is more or less ignoring it. But here's here's a

31
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 4: headline for you. For years, argent Tina imposed one of

32
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 4: the world's strictest rent control laws, meant to keep homes

33
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 4: in Buenos Aires it's elsewhere affordable, But instead officials say

34
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 4: rents sword Well, holy cow, who saw that coming? Well,

35
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 4: anybody who understands a lick of economics. If you control

36
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 4: rents and make it much less attractive for people to

37
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 4: rent properties, you get fewer rental properties. But now the

38
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 4: country's new president has scrapped the rental law, along with

39
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 4: most government price controls, in a fiscal experiment he is

40
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 4: conducting to revive South America's second biggest economy. Wall Street

41
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 4: Journal rights the result, the Argentine capital is going undergoing

42
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 4: a rental market boom. Landlords are rushing to put their

43
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: properties back on the market, with Buenos Aires rental supplies

44
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 4: increasing by over one hundred and seventy percent, that's nearly tripling.

45
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: Friends.

46
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 4: Renters are getting better deals than ever, with a forty

47
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 4: percent decline in the real price of rental properties. When

48
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 4: a usted for inflation. According to a local economist, Malaise

49
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 4: moved to undo rent control regulations has resulted in one

50
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: of the clearest cut victories for what he calls economic

51
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 4: shock therapy. He is methodically taking a part a system

52
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: of price controls, closing government agencies and lifting trade restrictions

53
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 4: built up over eight decades of socialist and military rule,

54
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 4: in an effort that's upended the lives of many Argentinians.

55
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 5: And about twenty four hours from now, Kamala Harris is

56
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 5: going to introduce her policies of probably that price fixing

57
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 5: and rent control.

58
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, absolutely disastrous. And it is so interesting to

59
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 4: put aside my disgust with these policies because they are doomed,

60
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: I mean one doomed to failure.

61
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: They have to fail.

62
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: The very basic laws of economics doomed them to failure.

63
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: And yet, and this is the really interesting part, people

64
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 4: by large majorities at first blush think that's a good idea,

65
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 4: which just goes to show you a basic education is

66
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 4: so important but infrequent.

67
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: Anyway, that's enough about Argentina. I'm gonna keep my eye

68
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: on them.

69
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: I would love to go to Argentina someday this freaking job.

70
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 4: This job stops you from going there. Get vacation time.

71
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 4: Go to Argentina one week, but.

72
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: Do you take two.

73
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 4: You take a couple of days to travel, a couple

74
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 4: of days back.

75
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 2: That means you really have to take two weeks off.

76
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 4: And every time we take proposed taking two weeks off,

77
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 4: everybody poops.

78
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: Their drawers like we bran surgeons are.

79
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 4: The world will stop or infants will die or something.

80
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: Anyway, riding a.

81
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 4: Burrow, I think you can get to Argentina in one fight.

82
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 4: Have you ever tried to get to Argentina? It's no

83
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 4: simple matter. Underestimating the difficulty of Argentine travel is another

84
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 4: common misconception.

85
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: Joe's riding a burrow into Argentina. Well, I want to

86
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: blend in. That's what they did.

87
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 4: They have cars there all right. Moving along to the Chinese,

88
00:04:58,839 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 4: gonna blend in.

89
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: That's funny.

90
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 4: The Chinese economy, they just made a series of blitz measures,

91
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 4: according to once again the Wall Street Journal, to try

92
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 4: to turn their more abund economy around and their stock

93
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 4: market which is just going down down down, dropping interest rates,

94
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 4: all sorts of incentives for this and disincentives for that.

95
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: As the Central planning.

96
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 4: Communist Party is trying to stave off the sort of

97
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 4: economic problems that bring on terrible unrest, the threatens of

98
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 4: one party government's rule.

99
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: And we'll have to see how that goes.

100
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 4: And if you've not been following this, trust me when

101
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 4: I say they have awful economic problems in China. They

102
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,679
Speaker 4: are on the knife's edge of plunging into, like I said,

103
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 4: destabilizing problems. And in a closely related story, one of

104
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 4: the top economists in China, this guy vaunted economist head

105
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 4: of this think tank, which is closely tied to the

106
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 4: Communist Party. He said, you know, top lecture at universities.

107
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 4: It had quoted all the time in that Chinese press. Well,

108
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 4: he was on social media a little while back, and

109
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 4: evidently he made a couple of comments, and they frame

110
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 4: it in vague terms, but he made some comments on

111
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 4: we chat I think it is, which is kind of

112
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 4: the Chinese Twitter or whatever. He made some impolitic remarks

113
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 4: in a private chat that referenced Chijin Ping's lifespan. And

114
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 4: you have to kind of piece it together, but I'm

115
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 4: sure I'm at least close to right. What he said

116
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 4: is the only hope we have for a better economy

117
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 4: in China is that Shixi and Ping can't live forever.

118
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 4: And wow, gal, gosh, golly, try to find him if

119
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 4: you can.

120
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: He has disappeared. Wow.

121
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 5: So not even clear it was a threat of any

122
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 5: kind that close to a suicide or to an assassination threat.

123
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: That's the way to deal with him in China. No,

124
00:06:58,720 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: not even close.

125
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 5: We let you lay in a golf course with a

126
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 5: rifle and get ready to aim at the president.

127
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

128
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 4: So his remarks included comments about China's flagging economy and

129
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 4: veiled criticism of Shiji Ping that referred.

130
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: To his mortality.

131
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 4: One of the people said, his name has disappeared from

132
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 4: every institution that he was a major part of.

133
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: Nobody knows where he is. Wow. Man, it's not surprising. Oh,

134
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: I like this part.

135
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 4: So they've cracked down like crazy on any criticism of

136
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 4: sijiin Ping.

137
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: Any Hong konger can tell you that.

138
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 4: But he coincided with an indoctrination campaign for the staff

139
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 4: of this giant thing tank and aimed at enforcing compliance

140
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 4: with the Communist Party rules. Party membership and leadership roles

141
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 4: were required to sign formal pledges and instilling discipline and

142
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 4: reminded to obey the ten prohibitions, a list of band

143
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 4: activity that includes publishing improper material and collaborating with foreign

144
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 4: entities without approval. I've got to find out what the

145
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 4: ten prohibitions are. You can size chesion ping, no gene

146
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 4: shorts on the golf course, don't swim within a half

147
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 4: hour of beauty, that's right, no breaking wind and mixed company,

148
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 4: and several others. I haven't found the complete list, but

149
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 4: I'll see if I can for you, and we'll we'll

150
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 4: figure out what the Kami devils don't want you to say.

151
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: I'm looking up at the TV. There's a Road Diary.

152
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 5: There's a new Bruce Springsteen documentary that's gonna be on Hulu.

153
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 5: Looks really good. God, I wish I wasn't. I wish

154
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 5: I wasn't so turned off by his politics now that

155
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 5: I can barely enjoy his amazing music that I like

156
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 5: so much.

157
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 4: The berring progressivism of a multi millionaire who's never had

158
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 4: a real job.

159
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: Yes, it can be off putting a little hard to take.

160
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 5: And then the other thing they had up there entertainment wise,

161
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,000

168
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 4: some of the Marvel movies are great. Some of them

169
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: are horrible, but some of them are great. How about

170
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 4: the last three or so? I don't know what's the

171
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: one with the girl? The girl one was horrible.

172
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: You gotta ask somebody who cares.

173
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong and Getty Show, The.

174
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:36,720

00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 7: Meet Ghana's Yahoo Boys online shortsters who swindle Americans out

176
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 7: of millions of dollars praying on lonely older men over

177
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 7: the age of sixty. The scammers pretend to be white

178
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 7: American women residing in the US, tricking men into falling

179
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 7: in love with them. They message constantly, laying the attention

180
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 7: and flattery. Then it's more expensive gifts to create the

181
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 7: perception they are independently wealthy. When a victim insists on

182
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 7: a video called Voodoo hires online pawn stars and records

183
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 7: them acting out scenarios that he directs from the mundane

184
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 7: to them all raunchy. If the victim gets suspicious, he

185
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 7: uses the image of one of his pawn stars to

186
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 7: forge an American passport as proof of identity. For in

187
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 7: person visits, they hire escorts who get a cut of

188
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 7: the profits. Building trust can take months.

189
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a lot.

190
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 5: There was a level of this I had never seen before,

191
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 5: where they really are playing the long game, where they

192
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 5: actually have pictures of women and then if they need to,

193
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 5: they you can actually meet a woman and you think, okay,

194
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 5: well it's actually a woman, and now I've met her

195
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 5: and I've seen her passport, and yeah, that's that's not.

196
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 2: A long great too, it's fantastic. Let's tear a little

197
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: more of this before we come in.

198
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 7: The setup often centers around gone as globally renowned gold mines.

199
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 7: The scammers, still posing as a woman, claim they're in

200
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 7: line to inherit one of these minds. The victim is

201
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 7: invited to invest in the mind with the promise of

202
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 7: huge returns that will secure the happy couple's future together,

203
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 7: all sealed with a forged ownership document, complete with an

204
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 7: official seal.

205
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 5: That's where it crosses into the really. So now you're

206
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 5: dating somebody hotter than you've ever dated in your life

207
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 5: who happens to be the heir to a gold mine. Hey,

208
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 5: it's about time I got a good break. My ship

209
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 5: came in at sixty five. Yeah, fantastic news. Yeah, it's

210
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 5: just interesting to hear the way the business works. They

211
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 5: invest so much in the long con and then they

212
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 5: convert a certain number of the prospects into customers, I guess,

213
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 5: and so it's worth the money. But I'll tell you

214
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 5: what if I had and I've dealt with this sort

215
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 5: of thing before, friends, acquaintances, loved ones getting scammed online.

216
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 5: And it's tough to watch because it is they can't

217
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 5: see what you can see because I've seen it too,

218
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 5: for whatever reason of love or optimism or what have you.

219
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 5: But if I had a friend who unspooled, you know,

220
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 5: the first sixty percent of that story, and I said,

221
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 5: but have you met this woman?

222
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 2: And he said, oh yeah.

223
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 4: We spent the weekend in La It was great. We

224
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 4: went to the Dodgers game, we took a walk along

225
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 4: the beast.

226
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: Fantastic.

227
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 4: We got a long I think, Oh, okay, all right,

228
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: I guess I don't know. I was just afraid you

229
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 4: are getting scammed.

230
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, because yeah, most of these low rent versions, it's

231
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 5: it's it's some dude pretending to be.

232
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 2: A woman and you've never met them or talked to him.

233
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 4: Is that? And yet there is a hired escort involved. Yeah,

234
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 4: and a really well done passport. They showed it on

235
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 4: a CBS news right, just a higher level of sophistication.

236
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 4: Again though, when it gets to the I'm an air

237
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 4: to a gold mine, Oh my god, how for me?

238
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: Wait?

239
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 4: Now, it's Gold's interesting that you, being attractive and an

240
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 4: air to a gold mine need to date online and

241
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 4: you know, to meet me.

242
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: But and it's not even like my dad owned two

243
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 2: car dealerships or anything. It's a gold mine, a literal

244
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: gold mine.

245
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 4: Anyway, it was in July that the Wall Street Journal

246
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: had a fascinating piece that I kept around, and I

247
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 4: found it again very similar. It actually takes a look

248
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 4: at the other side of the coin of similar scams.

249
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: I'll just read the first part to you because it's

250
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: really well written.

251
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: In late December, Garacha, the rest of his name is

252
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 4: very long, helped lead a small but brazen rebellion. He'd

253
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 4: been enslaved for sixteen months in a twisted new criminal

254
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 4: empire in which Chinese gangsters trafficked people from around the world,

255
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 4: often to remote and lawless parts of Southeast Asia, and

256
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 4: forced them to sit at computers all day scamming strangers online.

257
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 4: The cyber frauds they're forced to committer called pig butchering,

258
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 4: named for the way the perpetrators fatten up their victims

259
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 4: by gaining their trust before taking their money and cutting

260
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 4: them loose behind the scenes, though the scammers are victims too,

261
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 4: and they kidnapped these poor people. Generally, they forced them

262
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 4: to memorize a manual on how to seduce men online,

263
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 4: manipulate them into pouring their money into bogus investments.

264
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: And if these guys.

265
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 4: Dare resist or try to get away, they are beaten

266
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 4: and tortured and starved. And then and this guy whose

267
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: stage done an uprising was literally taken to a bathroom

268
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 4: stall and tortured for another week. His captors beat him

269
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 4: and said he'd have to scratch up seven thousand dollars

270
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 4: if he wanted to be freed. Finally, and this guy's

271
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 4: all scarred and broken, and finally his family scraped up

272
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 4: seven grand and paid his ransom.

273
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: So he and three others with.

274
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 4: Him were among a few hundred who have made it

275
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 4: out in recent years from industrial scale scam enterprises built

276
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 4: on modern days slave trade, so to the just.

277
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 5: The lonely dating thing, and man, there's a horrible story

278
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 5: out there, similar sort of thing. My main point being,

279
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 5: this guy was getting talked up by a stripper at

280
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 5: a strip club and she offered sex for money at

281
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 5: the hotel. He went to the hotel and got robbed

282
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 5: and then murdered. It's still a mystery as to why

283
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 5: they murdered him, because that seems like a bad idea.

284
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 5: But anyway, in general, if somebody much younger and much

285
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 5: hotter than has ever been interested you in your life

286
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 5: is all of a sudden interested in you, you gotta

287
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 5: be like beyond skeptical. And I understand, I understand it completely.

288
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 4: If I'm sitting at a bar in Vegas and a

289
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 4: twenty two year old super hotty dressed as a short

290
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 4: skirt and high heels comes up and sits next to me,

291
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 4: I just it would be nicer, ver true.

292
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: But I gotta know it's not true.

293
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 4: On the other hand, the really is citious part of

294
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 4: this is I might be fully cognizant. Oh okay, she's

295
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 4: a orking girl, and this is going to cost me

296
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 4: some money, okay, but you don't expect to be papped

297
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 4: over the head and have like everything taken.

298
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, the whole. If the stripper doesn't actually like you,

299
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 5: the super chick at the bar doesn't really like you,

300
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 5: and if you're all of a sudden in a different league,

301
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 5: just put up your antenna like really really high.

302
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: Yeah it seems like go or yeah.

303
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 4: A final note on the lonely heart scams, there is a.

304
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: The scammers know that. For instance, Christian.

305
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 4: Dating sites are a great place to fish wow, because

306
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 4: if the scammer, you know, says what you say as

307
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 4: a Christian, there's an immediate level of trust that you

308
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 4: don't get other places.

309
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: They are utterly heartless, soulless, and brutal. You know.

310
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 5: It reminds me of what I was going to say.

311
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 5: This is just a modern version of something that's been

312
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 5: around forever. Don't take any wooden nickels. News reports say

313
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 5: there are nickels out there that shiny and silver but

314
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 5: are actually made of wood. Experts are saying you should

315
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 5: bite into them or check to see if they're well.

316
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 5: You know, there's just been, always been scams, and eventually

330
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 5: I always skip it every article I read, I skip

331
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 5: down to where they actually get to the meat of

332
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 5: the article.

335
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 4: about I imagine how it affects me? Instead of hearing

336
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 4: about what's this guy's name? Uh? Florian vang langen Donk,

Speaker 4: enjoys a vacation and use the example of a Typeay

341

Speaker 4: virtually anybody else on earth.

343
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 5: Who decided every newspaper article or magazine article needs to

344
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 5: start this with Jenny Smith, spread out.

345
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 4: To personalize it so people realize it affects real people.

346
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 5: It's just dumb. I skipped down to the meat of it. Anyway,

347
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 5: I when is peak vacation and I've got a story

348
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 5: about that.

349
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 4: Only you'll get a story about American families having difficulty

350
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,359

Speaker 2: the headline.

355
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 4: I know. I know there are people like that. That's

356
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 4: why you wrote the article, Because there are people like that.

357
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 2: I don't need you to give me the specifics.

358
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 4: A one wow, three kids and works at the dairy Queen.

359
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 4: I just don't like her chances can't keep a man either.

360
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: Evidently. Anyway, where were we.

361
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 4: Ah, Yes, peak pleasure on vacation, Yes, A twenty nineteen

362
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 4: survey of tourist said an all inclusive resort in the

363
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 4: Dominican Republic, determined that vacationer's average happiness rose steadily from

364
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 4: the moment they left home, then peaked around our forty

365
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 4: three of the trip.

366
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: Really then the first forty eight hours you peak.

367
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 4: That's true about the enjoyment starts even with the shlub,

368
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 4: because you're on vacation, the shlip rather not the slub.

369
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 4: I'm the shlub, the schlub, the slub slip, the slip

370
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 4: away shlub. The enjoyment starts with the schlap. Even the

371
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 4: bags in the car and the uber to the airport

372
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 4: and all that stuff.

373
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 2: There's nothing enjoyable about that. But you're just you're already

374
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 2: on vacation and it's growing and its enjoyment.

375
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 4: All right, So I gotta to analyze this. You leave

376
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 4: the house at eight o'clock in the morning, you got

377
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 4: a couple of flights. You end up at the resort

378
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 4: that you're going to at like four point thirty in

379
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 4: the afternoon, although you left eight o'clock in the morning,

380
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 4: So twenty four hours would be eight forty eight hours

381
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 4: would be eight o'clock.

382
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: The next morning, forty three hours to be in the

383
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: middle of the night. That's right. Ten, you just had X.

384
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 4: It's five o'clock the second day, you're there roughly. Okay,

385
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 4: that brings true to me. That's the peek, like the

386
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 4: entire vacation, the greatest thing ever, Honey, you know that

387
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:02,239
Speaker 4: that is.

388
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 2: I don't want this to be true.

389
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm thinking about this ridiculously expensive Hawaiian vacation. I

390
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 5: went on to not too long, but I don't want

391
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 5: this to be true. But yeah, the you've got there

392
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 5: the second day and the cool place you are is

393
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 5: kind of that.

394
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: This is awesome. Part of it might be the whole.

395
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 5: It seems like the vacation's gonna last forever already at

396
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 5: that point because a week yes, yeah, he doesn't take

397
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 5: very long into the vacation for me at least, and

398
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 5: where I realized Jesus half over.

399
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 4: You're settled in, you got the lay of the land.

400
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 4: Maybe you got a couple of pops in you it's

401
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 4: it's dinner time, it's you're just so relaxed. Maybe a

402
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 4: little sweet afternoon love has taken place. I don't know anyway,

403
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 4: but there's wait, there's there's more. Key to this good

404
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 4: vibe spike is dishabituation. Perspective refreshed one gets from a

405
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 4: change of pace.

406
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 5: What's a dishabituation? So getting out of your habits?

407
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 4: Yes, Esley The word people use more than any other

408
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 4: to describe the parts of the holiday they liked best

409
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 4: was first, first view, the ocean, first cocktail, first sand castle,

410
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 4: et cetera. You kind of habituate to joy, to the

411
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 4: great things around.

412
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 5: You, all interesting. You habituate to joy.

413
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 4: Right, and the ways to finding ways to dishabituate again

414
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 4: and again is the secret to making the most of

415
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 4: every vacation day. They also say you could do more

416
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,239
Speaker 4: like three day trips. I was about to say, it

417
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 4: sounds to me like vacations, don't. You'd be better off

418
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 4: with three three day vacations than one nine day vacation

419
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 4: from a pleasure standpoint, Yeah, maybe, although I would dispute

420
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 4: that because that feeling of the clock is ticking and

421
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 4: it's almost the day we have to pack and have

422
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 4: you you know, have you what do you call it?

423
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 4: To check in for the flight? Honey, I've got such

424
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 4: a negative mindset. I have to fight the vacations. Already

425
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 4: thirty percent over yeah, like a ninety vacation. We're already

426
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 4: three days in. Oh my god. So the other way

427
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 4: to dishabituate, says this travel expert. If you're going on

428
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 4: a vacation, it's quite long, you might want to make

429
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 4: it more varied. Anytime we change our environment, change our circumstances,

430
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 4: change what we're doing, that causes dishabituation. Hopping between countries

431
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 4: or cities guarantees diversity. But you can also mix things

432
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 4: up by trying a new tu sport or trending activity beach.

433
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: Tennis, anyone. Yeah, I don't know.

434
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: I also really like when you don't have to pack

435
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 4: and unpack multiple times day trips.

436
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 2: It's all about day trips, right.

437
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 5: So I think about this a lot because this happened

438
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 5: on my very starkly when I was on my honeymoon

439
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 5: in Mexico. I think it was like a week and

440
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 5: a half. Gladys, what you'll break your fingers. I think

441
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 5: she's just I think she's just working for us now

442
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 5: for the insurance. I don't think she cares about her job.

443
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 5: She just wants the health insurance. Well, she unionized last week.

444
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 5: Don't you qualify for medicare? You're like one hundred and six.

445
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 4: You didn't see the memo, Union says she has twenty

446
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 4: seconds to get ready and crack her knuckles and before

447
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 4: she unleashes her little lick there on the harp.

448
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 5: Anyway, I'm in Mexico. I got this place right on

449
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 5: the ocean. So I'm sitting there looking out the window

450
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 5: at the ocean, and it's as beautiful and nice as

451
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 5: anything can be, and all week long, like a week

452
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 5: and a half or.

453
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: Whatever, I'm enjoying it.

454
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 4: Then on the last day leave the next day. But

455
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 4: this is the last full day of being there, I'm

456
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 4: sitting there and I'm all stressed out about you know,

457
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 4: thinking about going back to work and just all these

458
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 4: different things, and I'm like unhappy. And I thought, Oh,

459
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 4: you're sitting in the exact same spot, looking at the

460
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 4: exact same view that you were euphoric about for the

461
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 4: last seven days.

462
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: The only thing that's changed.

463
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 4: The only thing is your attitude, per respective, etc.

464
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 2: The only thing.

465
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 4: And I thought, how often does this occur, not quite

466
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 4: as starkly as this, to where the only thing really

467
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 4: going on is my attitude and what I'm thinking about.

468
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 5: Everything else is fine, And I've thought about that a

469
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 5: lot over the last fifteen years. I guess it is

470
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 5: now about that just there's nothing. Everything that I'm stressed

471
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 5: out about is in my head. There's nothing actually occurring

472
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 5: at this moment stressful or unpleasant, and I try.

473
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 2: To combat that. Yeah, yeah, well you gotta disabituate, man.

474
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 2: I wish I could.

475
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 5: I suppose people who are really zen or Buddha or

476
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 5: Gandhi or whoever.

477
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 2: Can make the other happen.

478
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 5: And I've heard about this with people who are being

479
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 5: held hostage or whatever really unfortunate circumstance you have. You

480
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 5: can be in a bad situation and bringing in all

481
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 5: the good thoughts and have the complete You know, life

482
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 5: is fantastic thing going on when you are surrounded by

483
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 5: freely negative things. Certainly I do the opposite regularly. Everything

484
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 5: is fine here, I'm in a nice place with a

485
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 5: nice view.

486
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 4: Nope, but I'm bringing in all these pressures on myself

487
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 4: for no reason. Stray thought, but related that might be

488
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 4: one of the keys to aging gracefully and happily. Yeah,

489
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 4: there are aspects of it to kind of suck, but

490
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 4: you know, find the good stuff.

491
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 5: I plan to age angrily and finger pointedly. That's my

492
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 5: glass shout at lawnedly, it's you keeping me down and unhappy.

493
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're to blite or.

494
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 4: A Clint Eastwood and El Camino aging process. Somebody referenced

495
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 4: that movie to me the other day. Oh so I see, Yeah,

496
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 4: you're saying my finger pointedly. Yeah, exactly when the young

497
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 4: Korean kids would ride by and he'd go pomp. Yeah,

498
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 4: that's not a relaxed way to live your life. No, indeed,

499
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 4: what else are we doing this out right? I remember

500
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 4: there's a lot of it.

501
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 5: Well, I don't want to be so dark, but I

502
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 5: think it's absolutely true. This op ed in the Wall

503
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 5: Street Journal about World War threes on the way, and

504
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 5: we're all ignoring it. We're either of the candidates asked

505
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 5: about this yesterday. Hey, do you see the sixty minutes

506
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 5: piece of Miss Harris or mister Trump about Philippines and

507
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 5: the Chinese boats ramming them, and how maybe one more

508
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 5: time and the Philippines go to war and we've got

509
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 5: a treaty obligation to back them up, we'd be at

510
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 5: or with China. Where would you be on that? No,

511
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 5: we're talking about cat eating or whatever.

512
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 4: For the entire history of the nation, it was considered

513
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 4: universally to be very important to hear the candidates' views

514
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 4: on this stuff. Now not so much. We just got

515
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,320

540
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 8: Meanwhile, in Kharkieth, after more Russian glidebaum struck residential buildings,

541
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 8: President Zelenski asked again for the restrictions on long range

542
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 8: US weapons to be lifted.

543
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 9: Just sevitator, the only way to counter this terror is

544
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 9: with a systemic solution. This solution is long range capabilities,

545
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 9: which will enable US to destroy Russian military aircraft at

546
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 9: their basis. This is an obvious logical decision.

547
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 5: Huh yeah, decisions that will be discussed for decades or

548
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 5: centuries to come, depending on how all this turns out.

549
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 5: The Biden administration being so slow to approve Ukraine defending

550
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 5: itself against Russia while China is now helping Russia, which.

551
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 2: Leads us to a bigger picture.

552
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 5: This piece in the Wall Street Journal Today by Walter

553
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 5: Russell meet who's I don't know if you've ever seen

554
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 5: him speak or listening to his podcast Stuff Super smart

555
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 5: guy been writing opinions for the Wall Street Journal for

556
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 5: as long as I can remember.

557
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 4: Us shrugs as World War three approaches. And let me

558
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 4: skip to down in the article to this. The reason

559
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 4: he wrote this is there is a Commission on the

560
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 4: National Defense Strategy to put out a report. It's a

561
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 4: panel of eight experts named by senior Republicans and Democrats

562
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 4: on the various committees that consulted widely across the government,

563
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 4: reviewing both public and classified information, and they issued a

564
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 4: unanimous report. This is one of those deals where Republicans

565
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 4: and Democrats come together and agree on a report that

566
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 4: they want to put out and as Mead.

567
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 5: Rights here and kind of what we've been talking about.

568
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 5: In a healthy political climate, this would be the central

569
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 5: topic in national conversation.

570
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 2: Not that's so funny.

571
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 4: I was about to say, Oh, they've released the report,

572
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 4: I haven't heard about it.

573
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 5: Not a central topic. The central topic, says Meed.

574
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 4: The bipartisan report details a devastating picture of political failure,

575
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 4: strategic inadequacy, and growing American weakness and a time of

576
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 4: rapidly increasing danger. Now I skipped over the first part,

577
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 4: but you all know this. You got Ukraine and Russia,

578
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 4: you got Israel, Hamas, you got China doing what they're

579
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 4: doing in the Philippines. You got all this stuff happening

580
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 4: at the same time, each country helping each other, and

581
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 4: all of that, the US faces the most serious and

582
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 4: most challenging threats since nineteen forty five, that'd be the

583
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 4: end of World War two, including the real risk of

584
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 4: near term major war. The report warns the nation was

585
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 4: last prepared for such a fight during the Cold War,

586
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 4: which ended thirty five years ago. It is not prepared today.

587
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: Worse.

588
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 5: China and Russia's No Limits partnership formed in February twenty two,

589
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 5: just days before Russia invaded Ukraine.

590
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: That's when.

591
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 5: She said to Putin caught on Mike, the world is

592
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 5: about to change, and you and I are going to

593
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 5: lead that more or less. In other words, the United

594
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 5: States is not going to be the boss anymore. The

595
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 5: new alignment of nations opposed to US interests. Along with Russia, China,

596
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 5: North Korea, Iran, these countries aligned creates a real risk,

597
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 5: if not the likelihood, that conflict anywhere could be a

598
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 5: multitheater or global war should such a conflict break out.

599
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 5: The commission finds that the US military lackxble the capabilities

600
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 5: and the capacity required to be confident it can deter

601
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 5: or prevail in combat. To summarize, World War three is

602
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 5: becoming more likely in the near term, and the US

603
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 5: is too weak either to prevent it or should warcome,

604
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 5: be confident of victory. This is not or should not

605
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 5: be a part.

606
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: Of an issue.

607
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 5: No recent president and no party escapes responsibility for our

608
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 5: current plight. Red and Blue America will suffer equally if

609
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 5: the global slide toward war continues unchecked.

610
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 2: Wow.

611
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 5: You know it's frustrating to me as a big history fan.

612
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 5: Is this is what happens over and over and over

613
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 5: again and is probably inevitable, which is why it's kind

614
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 5: of depressing. There's just no getting around it. You're the

615
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 5: big dog for a long time, and you get soft

616
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 5: and you come to believe you'll always be a big dog.

617
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: And just through.

618
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 5: If you're a sports fan, you see it with sports

619
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 5: teams that you come to believe that just because you're

620
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 5: wearing the uniform that is won in the past, that's

621
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 5: just going to prevail. That you don't need to continue

622
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 5: to have the right players or to be able to

623
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 5: perform at the same level. Just your uniformal went out

624
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 5: and it doesn't work that way.

625
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 4: Right, And there's absolutely a feeling of or a history

626
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 4: of When the call does come again, you turn to

627
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 4: your people and your tools that in the past have

628
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 4: been successful and you realize, oh, it's all hollowed out.

629
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 4: All we have is the edifice of a super powerful

630
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 4: navy for instance. I mean Putin certainly found this out

631
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 4: in invading Ukraine, but I mean I know a fair

632
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 4: amount about the Navy since my brother was a career officer.

633
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 4: And then we've got a couple of listeners, several listeners

634
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 4: who are navy or merchant marine, you know, veterans who

635
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 4: understand that our ability to get weaponry and people and

636
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 4: goods to the theater is now a vestige of what

637
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 4: it once was. I mean, it's shriveled. That is what

638
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 4: I was talking about about being hollowed out. We're gonna

639
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 4: say we're going to take the fight to them, and

640
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 4: the question is going to be, how are we going

641
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 4: to get the tanks over there? And the answer is

642
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 4: going to be, we don't have enough fighting ships to

643
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 4: protect the transport ships to get the stuff where it

644
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 4: needs to go. We got some of those shiny aircraft

645
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 4: carriers and stuff like that. And by god, they are

646
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 4: awesome and they're peopled by you know, the best and

647
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 4: the brightest. But do we have down to the brass

648
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 4: tax the logistics ready to go. No, according to the

649
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 4: people I trust.

650
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 2: Right, And then I think it comes down to it's

651
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 2: just not a.

652
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 5: Priority for the American people. It's just not something we

653
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 5: think about and are probably that.

654
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 4: But gigantic wars are extremely expensive, and we in the

655
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 4: past have borrowed butt loads of money that's a technical term,

656
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 4: uh to to finance the wars. That's the time we've

657
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 4: ever run debt like we have now, or deficits like

658
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 4: we have now. We have accumulated gigantic deficits hence and

659
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 4: hence death during affluent peace time. So what comes when

660
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 4: we have to borrow zillions of dollars?

661
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 2: What's the world going to say to us?

662
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 4: I have to mention the fact that the interest on

663
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 4: the dead is now more than the Defense Department back

664
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 4: to you.

665
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 5: I've tried to talk about this with like smart people

666
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 5: I know many many times, and they just look at

667
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 5: me like I'm crazy.

668
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 9: I just.

669
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 5: It's just well, New York Times had a great opinion

670
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 5: piece about this last year. I don't think I ever

671
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 5: got around to reading where they basically was this argument

672
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 5: that we've just come to believe that it couldn't happen,

673
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 5: China's never going to attack us with Russia and Iran

674
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 5: at the same time, and this just wouldn't happen. Well,

675
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 5: it can happen, and the history of the world would

676
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 5: suggest it's absolutely.

677
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 2: Going to happen. Yeah, that's what always happens.

678
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 4: Well, if Winston Churchill were to be raised from the

679
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 4: dead and join us in the studio number one, probably

680
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 4: what my pants, but he would say, Yeah, the only

681
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 4: way to wake people up is to get attacked. It's

682
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 4: just the way it is. Boys, good luck. Yeah, highly troubling.

683
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 4: So this report comes out, bipartisan report. You can't word

684
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 4: it much more starkly than you just heard, that World

685
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 4: War three is on the horizon and we don't think

686
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 4: we could win it if it happens. And we argue

687
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 4: about transgender bathrooms or cat eating or whatever the daily

688
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 4: news cycle story is, Yeah, neither candidate will be asked

689
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 4: about any of this, or put out a or try

690
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 4: to lead us in any direction. The idea of trying

691
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 4: to lead America into being concerned about this is never

692
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 4: going to happen, and the press isn't even asking the question, Hey,

693
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 4: the Giant report just came out and we have our

694
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 4: pants down. What's your plan for fixing that? It's a

695
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 4: non topic.

696
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 5: No, it's going to be very annoying when this eventually happens.

697
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 5: And those of us who knew what was going to happen,

698
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 5: I don't know. I won't get any plasure out of that.

699
