1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome back to the Carol Markowitz Show on iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: It's not a great time for Jews. After the slaughter 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: in Israel on October seventh, every Jew hater in the 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: world decided now is the time to let us all 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: know how they feel. Spare me the talk of a 6 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: free Palestine. Anyone who cares about the Palestinians would not 7 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: let them continue in their delusion that they could someday 8 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: get rid of Israel. And let's be real, all Jews, 9 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: if they just continue pushing, that's just not going to happen. 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: And if you're listening and you care about the Palestinian cause, 11 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: you should let them know. But look, this is not 12 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: a monologue about Israel, because this isn't a political show. 13 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: It's about being a Jew in America, because this is 14 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: a show about life, and that's my life right now. 15 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: Jews are scared. In response to being scared, there's a 16 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: trend online where Jews posts this image that says, would 17 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: you hide me, and non Jews are posting I would. 18 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: I understand why people are doing it. It's comforting to 19 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: know that people stand with you. I get it, I 20 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: really do, but I don't like it. I don't like 21 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: it because, first of all, I'm not hiding. I'm not 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: saying I don't have a plan B in case things 23 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: go left. We do, of course we do, but that 24 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 1: plan involves getting to my friend's house. Shout out to John, 25 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: who has the most guns and AMMO of anyone. I'm 26 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: not cowering in your attic. I don't want to be 27 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: in a perpetual victim state. I'm a free person in 28 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: the free world. I'm not hiding. The Jews of the 29 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: early nineteen forties in Europe were not armed, but I am. 30 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: If this moment has been an eye opener for you, 31 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: whether or not you're Jewish, get armed. If you live 32 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: somewhere you can't be armed, and you're posting memes about 33 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: people hiding you, you have to move. Living in this 34 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: kind of fear is no way to live. The truth 35 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: is that people are drawn to strength, not weakness, and 36 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: our weakness will not endear people to our cause. It 37 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: will have the opposite effect of people joining with the 38 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: strong to harm us. We're seeing that happen. Get strong 39 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: and fast. But the other reason I don't like this 40 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: campaign is not about the Jewish part. It's about the 41 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: America part. If a Jewish family is hiding in your house, 42 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: America has probably fallen. That's a bigger problem than whose 43 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: attic I'm in. I'm talking to the wider west here. 44 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: I appreciate your agreement to hide us, But how about 45 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: we join together so that nobody needs to be hid, 46 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: or do the hiding and defend what we have. How 47 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: About I will never let it reach the point where 48 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: my attic would ever even be in use. We're in 49 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: a pivotal moment right now where we can see where 50 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: these bad ideas have led us. If you're seeing college 51 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: kids marching around and chanting for genocide, supporting peopleeople who 52 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: would put their head on a pike, that didn't begin 53 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: this morning. Our schools are giant factor, but also parents 54 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: who have let their kids hate America and believe we're 55 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: just not that good. Our ideals have built civilization, but 56 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: we've surrendered so much to people who want to destroy 57 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 1: that civilization. We've let them take control of our schools, 58 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: and they've produced kids who have largely been lied to 59 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: about what the world is like. I mean, have you 60 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: seen the whole turkeys for Thanksgiving? I mean queers for Palestine? 61 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: We mock them, sure, but they're a glaring sign telling 62 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: us that there's something big we need to fix, and 63 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: there's something wrong with society that we need to make 64 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: better before it's too late. We're not going to get 65 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: there by being offered attic space. These people believe that 66 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: they'll have freedom to be themselves in Gaza, and many 67 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: people believe they don't have these freedoms in America. How 68 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: warped is that? Where did it come from to have 69 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: such insane backwards ideas that are fully entertained. Free people 70 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: need to be strong and fight for Western values, for 71 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: American values specifically, and they need to challenge those who 72 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: would crush those values in pursuit of something else. If 73 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: you're motivated to tell your Jewish friends that you stand 74 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: with them, thank you. We appreciate it. We do. It's 75 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: been horrible, and non Jews reaching out to say they 76 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: have our back really has been a bright spot. But 77 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: the actual best thing we can all do is defend 78 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: what we've built in America, the greatest country in the 79 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: history of the world, where we can all be safe 80 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: in this nation we've made. Tell your kids the truth 81 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: about how lucky they are to live in this country, 82 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: how blessed they are, and let's defend this place not 83 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: just for the Jews, but for all of us. Coming 84 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: up next an interview with Kyle Smith. Join us after 85 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: the break. Hi, and welcome back to the Carol Marcowitch Show. 86 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,119 Speaker 1: I'm the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton podcast network on iHeartRadio. 87 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: My guest today is Kyle Smith, film critic for Wall 88 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: Street Journal and theater critic for New Critarion and a 89 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: longtime friend of mine. Kyle, Hi, thanks for being here, Hi, Carol, 90 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: how are you doing good? 91 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: So? 92 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: You like a lot of things that I don't like, 93 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: and that's sort of been a theme in our friendship. 94 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: You like fruity drinks, you like going to the movies. 95 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,559 Speaker 1: I don't like any of that. I super rarely actually 96 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: enjoy a movie. So I wanted to ask you what 97 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: percentage of movies as a film critic would you say 98 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: that you like? 99 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 2: Well? 100 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 3: I try to correct for that by only seeing like 101 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 3: the top hundred or so movies, only reviewing like the 102 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 3: top hunderds out, but even those, about forty percent of them? 103 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: I guess forty percent. Hi, I think I like like 104 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: five percent. 105 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 3: Maybe, Yeah, I sort of feel like I'm a consumer advocate, like, 106 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 3: it's my job to steer you away from movies that 107 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: are a complete waste of time and money, particularly time. 108 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: I'm right and right, you know. The wayst example is 109 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 2: this Scarcezi movie, which I think is terrible. 110 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 3: Killers of the Flower Moon, universally praised because it's supposedly 111 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 3: shows the dark side of American history. To me, three 112 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 3: and a half hours of brutality, it's very monotonous. It's 113 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 3: like the same musical score is kind of going for 114 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 3: three and a half hours. Indians getting killed, Indians getting tricked, 115 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 3: Indians getting poisoned, Indians getting defrauded. 116 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 2: It's so dispiriting to watch. I can't believe anyone actually 117 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 2: enjoys this movie. 118 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: So would you say that, I'm like, at my low 119 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: percentage of movies I enjoy, and I really like I try. 120 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm a happy, optimistic person. I go into movies being like, 121 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: I am going to love this, and I'm inevitably like, 122 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: oh that was awful, awful, awful, awful. So am I 123 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: just watching the wrong things? Or are movies generally bad? 124 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 2: Yeah? I think most of them are bad. 125 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 3: The problem is that movies are kind of the top 126 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 3: of the pyramid for sure. It's like the thing everyone 127 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 3: wants to do. Taylor Swift, right, she's the biggest pop 128 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 3: star on earth, and she wants to make movies. Everybody 129 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: wants to make movies. If you're a novelist, want to 130 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 3: make movies. You're in TV, you want to make movies. Uh, 131 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 3: you know, Daily Wire is getting into movies. But you know, 132 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 3: there's there's so much action in the movie space that 133 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 3: you know, too many of them are just not great ideas. 134 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 3: And uh, one one bad influence I think is we 135 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 3: have the tech companies Netflix, Apple and Amazon are just flooding, 136 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 3: absolutely flooding Hollywood with money to to invite filmmakers, very 137 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 3: often prestige filmmakers to make movies that are just not 138 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 3: very good. The studios wouldn't have made because they would say, well, 139 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 3: the script isn't good, it's not gonna make any money, 140 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 3: it's not gonna win the Oscar. No, make sure it's this. 141 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 2: You know. 142 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 3: I saw this Netflix movie The Killer yesterday, David Fincher, 143 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 3: very highly claimed director. 144 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 2: It's just a terrible script. It shouldn't have been made. 145 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 2: But Netflix was like, David Fincher wants to make a 146 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: movie with us Okay, here's a check. Right. 147 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: So you're a film critic, but you've also been a 148 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: culture columnist, politics. You write about a lot of different stuff. 149 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: I think you've written on some really controversial stuff over 150 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: the years, like I remember the anti waiter column that 151 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: got you banned from New York City restaurants, and then 152 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: the women don't Understand Goodfella's column, which you know I 153 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: personally took offense to. But I still like you. Any regrets, 154 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: any thing that you would not write again? 155 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 3: No, to me, everything I write is obviously true, and 156 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 3: everything is obviously wrong. You have to have a lot 157 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 3: of confidence in being a writer. You almost have to 158 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 3: be arrogant, don't you think to be a writer? 159 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: Almost? Almost? 160 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:41,359 Speaker 2: Yeah? 161 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: Right? 162 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: And you must have listened to me. 163 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 3: And I'm the one who's on the page five of 164 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 3: this newspaper and you're not. So my opinion matter is 165 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 3: more than yours does. So I guess I'm sufficiently arrogant 166 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 3: enough to think that I have confidence and whatever I'm saying. 167 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: So you you stand by it all.

But I'm a nice person 201 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: who does not criticize waiters. So I was just I 202 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: was wondering, how well, but they deserve it. 203 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 2: They deserve I think Jason is not very dangerous. That 204 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 2: could be wrong. Maybe it's been poisoning. 205 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: I have a friend actually who had this line where 206 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: she said, when the waiter comes over and says like, 207 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: have you been to this restaurant before? And starts explaining 208 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: the menu, She's like, no, but I have been two 209 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: restaurants before, and I feel like it's going to go 210 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: you know similar, right? 211 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: Is that what you do here? 212 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: But like the top is usually smaller plates, and as 213 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: you get you know, lower in the menu, it's the 214 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: bigger plates. So it might get confusing for you. 215 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 2: Oh well, I think I can handle that. Okay. 216 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: So you once had a column. I actually couldn't find 217 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: it as I was looking for it, but it was 218 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: about how much you love what you do. And I 219 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: think you call people who aren't writers, like, you know, 220 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: new suckers or something. I was trying to find it. 221 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: So you love being a writer, and obviously that the 222 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: suckers was jokingly. Do you feel like you've made it? 223 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 2: Oh? 224 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. I mean continuing where I came from. I'm 225 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,599 Speaker 3: basically a blue collar shmow. I should be like a carpenter, 226 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 3: you know, a plumber or something, you know, truck driver. 227 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 2: My brother puts roofs on houses. That's the kind of 228 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 2: thing I was made for. 229 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 3: I should have wound up doing that, but I would 230 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 3: have been terrible at it. 231 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 2: Like I'm really bad at building. 232 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 3: I'm building out those like heat, furniture and stuff, and 233 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 3: I always build it wrong. I put the thing on back. Yeah, 234 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 3: I would have been a terrible blue collar worker. But 235 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 3: I somehow walked into being able to sell words for 236 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 3: a living. 237 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 2: How great is that? 238 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 3: I can just say, awesome, there's more to me money, 239 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 3: and but they come to me and offered to buy 240 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 3: my words. 241 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: It's just amazing. It's just such a scam. It feels 242 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 2: like a grift. 243 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 3: I'm very grateful for, you know, not having to get 244 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 3: my hands dirty and I have to work on my feet. 245 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: My dad worked on his feet. 246 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 3: Six days a week. He was a dog groomer. He 247 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 3: sometimes worked even on Sunday. He worked literally every Saturday. 248 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: My entire childhood. 249 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 3: And he was on his feet the whole time. He's 250 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 3: doing manual labor. And it was in the basement of 251 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 3: our house and it was really hot down there in 252 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 3: the summer, so he was kind of boiling hot dogs everywhere, 253 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 3: dog hair everywhere. Just a miserable job. And that's the 254 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 3: kind of thing I could easily have fallen into. That's 255 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 3: what he was made for. That's who my people are. 256 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 3: As the first person in my family to go to college. 257 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: Wow, I didn't know that. It's amazing. And you were 258 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: also in the military. 259 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: Right, yeah, that was the pay for college. 260 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, I signed up for what I was ORFTC, 261 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 3: and then I wound up going on active duty in 262 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 3: Germany and I made to Saudi Arabia for the Gulf War. 263 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: How was it. 264 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 2: Boring? But also interesting? 265 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 3: War in general is very interesting and strategically, but the 266 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 3: day to day reality of being in a personnel service 267 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 3: company thirty miles and back is just kind of like you, 268 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 3: you know, a military is like a snake, right, there's 269 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 3: a deadly head and then there's a long long tail. 270 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 3: That's probably that long tail that kind of doesn't. So 271 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 3: it's basically just getting through every day, you know, getting 272 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 3: meals and delivering mail and stuff like that. That's yeah, keeping records, 273 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 3: that's that's what we did. So it wasn't particularly exciting 274 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 3: on a day to day level. 275 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: Do you consider that you're living a public life, like, 276 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: do you get recognized? 277 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 2: Not really, No, I'm not really on TV that much 278 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: unlike you. 279 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, now you're going to be recognized all 280 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: over the place after this, you know. 281 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 3: As you know, I wasn't aware until five minutes ago 282 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 3: that we're going to do video here. 283 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 2: I thought it was just a phone call. 284 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: Here we are doing the video. It's going to be 285 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: everywhere and people are going to stop you in the 286 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: street and say, hey, you're that Kyle Smith. 287 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 2: Is any be famous that I picture? 288 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 3: Like?

It is the official newspaper, 307 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: so I can recognize a lot from there. But yeah, 308 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: I like this level of fame.

I feel like, I'm going to teach 342 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: my kids at being famous is not good and that 343 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: they should not strive for it. Of course, my middle 344 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: son already has a YouTube channel and he really wants 345 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: it to blow up. So yeah, it's it's already a 346 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: hard road to teach the kids. Are your kids into that. 347 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 2: No, not at the moment. Now. 348 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 3: They're both kind of more shy than uh, you know, 349 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 3: eager to perform in public, So I think that's good. 350 00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. So a question that I ask all of my guests, 351 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: and you know it's an easy one, but what do 352 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: you think is our largest cultural or societal problem in America? 353 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: And do you think it's solvable. 354 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 3: It's kind of a trap because when you answer that question, 355 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 3: you automatically sound really grouchy. 356 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 2: But it's okay, I am grouchy. 357 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: You sound really grouchy all the time. I think it's 358 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: fine to be funny. Oh you're funny, funny, groucy for sure. 359 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 3: To me, the biggest problem we have is everyone wants 360 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 3: something for nothing. We have lost track of this idea 361 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 3: that if you want to get something, you've got to 362 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 3: pay for it one way or another. It goes all 363 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,239 Speaker 3: the way up and down the line it starts at 364 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 3: the bottom level. You've seen this TikTok video where there's 365 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 3: this twenty four year old women in a car and 366 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 3: she says, I'm going to my service job and I 367 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 3: hate it in marketing. I have a marketing degree. 368 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 2: Damn it. I should be making one hundred and fifty 369 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 2: to two hundred per a year. I'm twenty four years old. 370 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 2: I have no. 371 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 3: Experience except my work at Starbucks or whatever. No, you 372 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 3: don't start one hundred. 373 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: And fifty thousand dollars a year. Why do people think 374 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 2: that that that you get to start rich? 375 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 3: And on the other end, we have the Paul Krugman's 376 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 3: of the World, World's Leading Calmness, the World's Smartest Man, 377 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 3: Nobel Prize winner telling us debt doesn't matter because it's 378 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 3: money we owe ourselves, so we can spend as much 379 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 3: as we want on the social safety net, which is 380 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 3: always fraying and tattered. No matter how many trillions of 381 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 3: dollars are spending on welfare and everything else. We're just 382 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 3: spend as much money as we want. It doesn't matter. 383 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 3: That doesn't matter, if you know, don't worry debt and deficit. 384 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 3: And now we're going to a point we're gonna have 385 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 3: I think trillion dollar payments just for interest. Now, that's 386 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 3: that's milestone, trillion dollars worth of interest in. 387 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: My personal favorite of the Paul Krugman nonsense right now 388 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: is when he puts up the charts that show that 389 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: there's no inflation if you take out like food and 390 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: housing and cars and like you know, all the things 391 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: that you buy those if you just remove those things, wah, 392 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: no inflation at all. But yeah, I've seen those videos 393 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 1: where the young people are expecting to make six figures 394 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: out of college. There was one a few days ago 395 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: that was, like, I work nine to five and I 396 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: live in New York and I have to commute for 397 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: like an hour, and I have never worked nine to five. 398 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: I didn't even like at my very first job out 399 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: of college was nine to six. I have no concept 400 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 1: of nine to five. That's amazing, Like, you're so lucky. 401 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: But they, you know, I think that their expectations are 402 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: completely out of whack, and you know, they're young, So 403 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: I end up thinking, like who lied to them? Was 404 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: it their college who lied to them? Was it their parents? 405 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: Like who told them that life was going to be 406 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: six figures out of college? And no commute, Like where 407 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: did that come from? Yeah? 408 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 3: I know, I have to think social media is a 409 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 3: big part of it. I think people are under the 410 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 3: impression that everybody else is having a better time than 411 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 3: they are because people, of course they're only putting their 412 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 3: best selves on Instagram or whatever. Yeah, and it's a 413 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 3: very distorted view. And we've seen, particularly younger else, very 414 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 3: high rates with depression, suicidal, idiation and stuff, and I 415 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 3: think the evidence is pretty strong that that's social media driven. 416 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: Right, So is there I mean, is there a fix? 417 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: Like what are we telling our children? Like how do 418 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: we make them have kind of rational expectations. I mean, 419 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: my seven year old, who's like fifth percentile, thinks he's 420 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,479 Speaker 1: going to the NFL. But I don't want to like 421 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: ruin his dreams yet. I like, you know, give him 422 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: a minute of believing he's going to be a wide 423 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: receiver and then you know, let him figure it out 424 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: on his own. But I don't know how to you know, 425 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: at the same time, like dream big, do it. You 426 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: could do whatever you want, but also be like, you know, 427 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: live in reality. I don't know how to straddle that line. 428 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: Any ideas I. 429 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 3: Don't know to me there's you know, the old fashioned 430 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 3: maxims whatnot. 431 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 2: There's no substitute for hard work really. 432 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 3: If you you know, I tell my kids if you 433 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 3: if you're smart and you work hard, there's no stopping you. 434 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: But it's got to be both of those things, and goodbye. 435 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: Just being smart, right or just working hard? You could 436 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: actually do either one. 437 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 2: Both? 438 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, both is great. Yeah, So end here with your 439 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: best tip for my listeners on how they can improve 440 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: their lives. 441 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 3: Okay, my idea I've always wanted to tell married people 442 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 3: this or people who are thinking about getting married, is uh, 443 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 3: think of marriage or your relationship. Let's say you're in 444 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 3: a committed relationship. Think of it as a job, right, 445 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 3: It's it's a good job. Maybe it's the best job 446 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 3: you'll ever had, but think of it as something you 447 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 3: have to work at every day. 448 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 2: Like every day you should be thinking of a way 449 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 2: to please your partner. Do something over in above what's 450 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 2: a normal? Uh? Just the way you try to you know, 451 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 2: impress your boss. 452 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 3: Right, You're you're always sucking up the boss, right if 453 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 3: you get some FaceTime to your boss and so put 454 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 3: the effort into it. And also, don't worry about the 455 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 3: blame chain I think a big part of the successful 456 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 3: relationship is something goes wrong. You're instinct to say you 457 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 3: screwed this up, and your partner's going to go, well, 458 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 3: you screwed up this. 459 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 2: Underlying thing, and you go, oh wow, well that kind 460 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 2: blows me away. But then you go, well, you screwed 461 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 2: up the underlying thing. Of the underlying thing. 462 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 3: To me, you should just cut the blame chain when 463 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 3: something goes wrong, you should just acknowledge. Okay, we both 464 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,719 Speaker 3: have our problem. We forgot our passports. Okay, now what 465 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 3: do we do. I'm not going to say, yeah, no, 466 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 3: your fault, you forgot that, but well it's your fault 467 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 3: because they weren't in the place they were supposed to be. 468 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 3: And right, don't worry about whose fault it is. Just 469 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 3: worry about how we're going to advance. And I think 470 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 3: if you don't blame your partner, you make a habit 471 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 3: of not always blaming your partner for things that you're wrong, 472 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 3: your partner will respond and not blame you, and you 473 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 3: don't have a much more solid relationship. 474 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: Kyla, I love that so much. That's like, really not 475 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: where I was expecting you to go. I thought you 476 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: were going to like lay a lashing on people and 477 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: you know, tell them all the ways that they need 478 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: to improve their lives like otherwise.
