And 22 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: here's one thing I think what the world has learned. 23 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: You can't see these things coming. Apparently that is not 24 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: a noble thing when a revolution is about to happen, 25 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: because I've never seen one predicted anywhere close to accurately 26 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 2: thus far in my life. They come out of nowhere, 27 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: and in retrospect everybody points to all the little things, Well, 28 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: this has happened. 29 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: Then then then this is will let to do it. 30 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: But nobody saw it coming. 31 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 2: Right well, and when people do see it coming, like 32 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: in the case of a Russian invading Ukraine, nobody believes 33 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 2: you well because it's it seems so crazy. Yeah, you're right. 34 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: The CIA gets regularly blamed for not catching the fall 35 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 2: of the Soviet. 36 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: Union well after watching I don't know how many. 37 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: Different regimes fall since then in my life, nobody predicted 38 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: those either. They're just something goes on eternally. There's something 39 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 2: in the wind, there's some there's something happens where everybody says, 40 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 2: are you over this? 41 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm over it too. Are you thinking the same thing? 42 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: I'm thinking? That happens on. 43 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: Some level apparently, and all the fighters in Syria thought, nah, 44 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: I'm not fighting back anymore, forget it. 45 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. 46 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: And I've heard it described by somebody who took in 47 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 2: intelligence briefings that one of the problems with it that 48 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 2: don't that doesn't often come up, is that you will 49 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: have a certain number of people saying it's absolutely rock solid, 50 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 2: a certain number of people saying it's about fifty to fifty, 51 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: and a certain number of people saying, oh, the other 52 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: things absolutely certainly happened. And so yes, people did predict it, 53 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: but other people said it absolutely won't happen. 54 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: No. 55 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: I was watching Bob Richard Haas, who used to run 56 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,839 Speaker 2: the Council on Foreign Relations, on MSNBC today. He said 57 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: he was in Syria recently talking to or in the 58 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: Middle East recently and leaders from various countries telling him 59 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: one of the things you Americans need to do is 60 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: get over your hatred of sod. He's not going anywhere 61 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: and you need to learn to work with him.

Awful 77 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 2: human beings should meet a violent end. He shouldn't get 78 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: to live in some villa in Russia until his old age, 79 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 2: like he's probably gonna get to do. 80 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: It's disgusting. 81 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 2: And maybe it's because I watched least the first part 82 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: of the movie Napoleon over the weekend, and the movie 83 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: opens with Marie Antoinette getting her head cut off. That's 84 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 2: what usually happens to despised king's dictators when they're overthrown. 85 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 2: And Aside was able to escape somehow in the middle 86 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 2: of the night and get to Russia.

They were in his I saw some video. 88 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: They were in his kitchen and there was like pots 89 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 2: boiling on the stove. I mean they were cooking him 90 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: dinner when they all ran out of the place. 91 00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: That's that's how little time they had. 92 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: So speaking of which, my favorite bit of video that's 93 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 2: emerged from this whole thing is folks are going through 94 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 2: the presidential palace and ransacking it, mostly just being tourists 95 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: and posting for selfies at his desk and stuff like that. 96 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: But my favorite clip was this guy's walking through looking around. 97 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 2: He's munching on an apple. 98 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: I don't know why. 99 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 2: It just struck me as so amusing. Hey, you want 100 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 2: to go down and check out the old dictator's palace. 101 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but I'm a little peckish.

The La Times 106 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 2: got an interesting story out today in Syria, militias armed 107 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: by the Pentagon fight those armed by the CIA. That 108 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: is going on to a certain extent, as you have 109 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 2: different parts of the country controlled by different people, and 110 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: in some cases. 111 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: We're very different goals. 112 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, in some cases we're back in all of the 113 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 2: groups against each other, at least more currently until we 114 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: change our mind. So that's where it gets very complicated. 115 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 2: Trump put out a strong statement yesterday that even Ian 116 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: Bremmer agreed with about how devastating this was to Russia 117 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 2: and how devastating it was to Iran, and how we 118 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 2: should stay out of this for at least the time 119 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: being until you see how things sort out. Yeah, I 120 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 2: could absolutely turn into a pit of chaos like Libya. 121 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 2: But HTS again not a K pop band, their leader, 122 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: and they were considered they are considered a terrorist group. 123 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: He formerly had ties to al Qaeda in ISIS. He 124 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 2: broke those off years and years ago. He's going around saying, look, 125 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: we got to have diversity in this country. We're gonna 126 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 2: protect religious minorities. We're gonna keep it cool, all right, 127 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 2: there's not some sort of crazy ass Islamis thing, which 128 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: is exactly what you'd say if you're a crazy ass 129 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: is lambist and wanted to get supportive more martyr factions. 130 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: Or he might be sincere. 131 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: I don't agree with that take, just because I was 132 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 2: thinking about I don't remember al Qaeda leaders, ISIS leaders, 133 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 2: Hamas has bought any of those people ever, saying Iranian, 134 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 2: I don't remember those people ever saying anything like that. 135 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 2: All they ever say is death to all infidels. The 136 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 2: one in true religion is Islam. They just never I 137 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 2: don't remember those people ever saying we will be open 138 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: to all sex and religions. And in the West they 139 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 2: do all the time. 140 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 141 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: Not in the Middle East though, Well right, but see 142 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying. It's possible this guy's more sophisticated. 143 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 2: He understands the game better than the wild eyed lunatics. Well, well, see, 144 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: we do have a as of today, like as of 145 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: this minute, the United States has a ten million dollar 146 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: bounty on his head because we consider him one of the. 147 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: World's leading awful people. 148 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, I would think we need to 149 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 2: figure out fairly quickly whether we want to change that 150 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: stance or not. He are good friends. The Turks, of course, 151 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 2: are backing some of the people who we oppose the 152 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 2: most vehemently. This new guy, Muhammaduah what's his name, who 153 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 2: I had never heard of and most of you haven't 154 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 2: hadn't either before yesterday.

Of course their fighters 169 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: aren't allowed to take it. It's you know, it reminds 170 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: me of various things happening in the West where they're 171 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 2: more than willing, well, like China's more than willing to 172 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 2: poison our people.

But anyway, Yeah, yeah, an evil guy 174 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: a sod. 175 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: It's just stunning that people like that can still exist 176 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 2: on planet Earth. And I, you know, at some point 177 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: I should get over it. I suppose it's because it's 178 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 2: never going to change. 179 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: How about strapped to a post in the sun, let 180 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: the crows pack out his eyes. I'd be perfectly fine 181 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: with that. I'd be perfectly fine with that. 182 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 2: And yeah, but there's lots of guys like that around 183 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 2: the world. 184 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:12,599 Speaker 1: You know, He's not the only one. There's lots of 185 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: In fact, the people that took over might be just 186 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: like that. So who knows Africa is thick with them? 187 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: For instance? Now, I just. 188 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 2: Saw a former diplomat of some sort I don't remember 189 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 2: which stripe on one of the cable news channels saying 190 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 2: this is as big as the fall of the Berlin Wall. 191 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: That seems like a heck of a lot to say. 192 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: It might be. 193 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: With the idea that it could be the end of 194 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: Iran at least as we know it. And if it's 195 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: the end of Iran as we know it, then it 196 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: could be the end of Putin. 197 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: And Russia as we know it. 198 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 2: Combination of factors, including the devastation of Hamas and Hesbela 199 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 2: and then cutting off the landline to supply Hesbelah in Lebanon, 200 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 2: has seriously seriously weakened Iran, not to mention Israel, exposing 201 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: them as a paper tiger in terms of air defenses 202 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: and stuff like that. 203 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, it could. It could be really really big 204 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: in that way. 205 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: It could be a huge step toward peace in the 206 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,119 Speaker 2: Middle East and an alliance between. 207 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: Israel and the Gulf States or not. What I've got. 208 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 2: A great quote somewhere learned and wizened hand in the 209 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 2: Middle East who says, who said, essentially good news has 210 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: a way of turning into bad news very very quickly 211 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 2: in this part of the world. Yeah, it's too bad 212 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 2: that that is the case. Well, that's just the truth 213 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: of the history of the world. It's very difficult to 214 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 2: end up with what we ended up with. After you 215 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: have a revolution of some sort where you end up 216 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 2: with a stable, safe democracy. The French revolution didn't go 217 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 2: that way, the Russian revolution didn't go that way, and 218 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: a gazillion other revolutions and tiny countries that you've never 219 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 2: heard of, it didn't go that way. Somebody's got to 220 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 2: be in charge, and it's a battle to see who's 221 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 2: going to be in charge, right. Final note, this is 222 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 2: a hell of a blow toward to putin in Russia, 223 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 2: which had tried to portray itself as a stalwart and 224 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: dependable ally. If you cast in with Russia, we never 225 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 2: let you down, we never leave you on your own. 226 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 2: And an assad faced an attack in Russia's like, yeah, 227 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 2: busy in Ukraine, can't help click and the down goes 228 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 2: a Soad but opened the door to Asad and his 229 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 2: family to come live there in Moscow. And so maybe 230 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: the dream is for Putin to fall and then he 231 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: dies and Assad dies all in one wonderful afternoon one 232 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 2: of these days. 233 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: Wow, well it's worth hoping. I'd be fan. So Christmas miracle. 234 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 2: We're hoping to talk to at least one, if not two, 235 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 2: of our military analysts about what's going on over there. 236 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: We do have nine hundred US troops in Syria. We 237 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 2: bombed seventy five different sites yesterday in Syria, so to 238 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: say we're not involved at all, obviously would be a lie. 239 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: That's a fair amount of bombing. 240 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 2: Well, right, with the Assad regime gone and no defense 241 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 2: of their territory, anybody who's got a gripe, including us 242 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 2: with ISIS is saying. 243 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, well maybe now is a good time. 244 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: And as I just said, the fact that we're backing 245 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 2: the CIA's back in one side and the Pentagon's back 246 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 2: in another side with some of those rebels, that's a 247 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: pretty complicated thing. How ABOUTNY, how about we start the 248 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 2: show officially.

Was Biden a known corrupt politician twenty 346 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 2: twenty that might need to pardon somemmer all of his family? 347 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: Yep? 348 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 2: Was Joe Biden a serial liar chased out of the 349 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,479 Speaker 2: Potis race multiple times for plagiarism, lying, and generally a 350 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 2: low high Q. 351 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: Yep? 352 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 2: So who's really to blame for Joe Biden not getting 353 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 2: out of the race? Center, who's really to blame for 354 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 2: Joe Biden doing what he everyone thought he'd do and 355 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: pardoning Hunter? More of the news of today, biggest sports 356 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 2: contract in the history of sports, and a bunch of 357 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 2: other stuff to tell. 358 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: You about Armstrong and Getty. 359 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 4: Two new photos of a man police are calling a 360 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 4: person of interest in the murder of United Healthcare CEO 361 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,479 Speaker 4: Ryan Thompson on a midtown Manhattan street. They're from a 362 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 4: taxi cab the same cab. Police say he took to 363 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 4: a bus terminal after the murder, Police saying they think 364 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 4: he's left New York City. This weekend, police found new 365 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 4: evidence a backpack they believe belongs to the suspect. When 366 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 4: they revealed what was inside a jacket and monopoly money. 367 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 2: So nobody knows if that's because he's a crazy person 368 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 2: or if that was some sort of clever comment on Yeah, 369 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 2: it sounds it feels like that to me. It was 370 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: going to be part of the whole messages on the 371 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 2: Bullets Theater. Several things about this story are interesting. Will 372 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 2: delve into the glee at the assassination of a guy 373 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 2: who runs a health insurance company. We'll get into that 374 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 2: whole thing later because that is just freaking horrifying if 375 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 2: we go down that road. But New York is one 376 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 2: of the most surveiled cities on planet Earth, certainly outside 377 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 2: of China. I didn't know you could shoot somebody in 378 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 2: the middle of the day on a major street in 379 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 2: New York and get away. I wouldn't have guessed you could. No, No, 380 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 2: I'm surprised at that. And then also the fact, as 381 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 2: a libertarian who worries about government power, a lot, because 382 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: what we got now is nice, but you can end 383 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 2: up with something closer to asad pretty easily over a 384 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 2: couple of decades. And having the infrastructure to be surveilled 385 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 2: at this level where there's just cameras flipping everywhere getting 386 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 2: pictures of you or a video of you in major cities, 387 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 2: it's just ah, who ever end up with a government 388 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: that really wants to keep a track of a certain 389 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 2: kind of person. We've certainly put the infrastructure in place 390 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 2: right right. It's frustrating because some of the things we 391 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: talk about a lot, which involve cultural norms and policing 392 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 2: small things, so people never get the idea that they 393 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 2: can do big crimes. For instance, letting go of that 394 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 2: culture of lawfulness leads you to a spot where you 395 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 2: have so much damn crime. People think, yeah, I want cameras, Yeah, 396 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 2: I want the what's it called the shot spot or 397 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 2: the audio system. Yeah, we need these things to keep 398 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 2: ourselves alive. Government intrusion, Yeah I get that, but I 399 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: want to be alive. So yeah, you just paint yourself 400 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 2: into a corner where your solutions are bad. Oh and 401 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 2: also there's breaking news today that there are NYPD in 402 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 2: Atlanta for some reason on this story, So maybe something 403 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 2: will come out of that Later today, I do want 404 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 2: to talk more about the assassination of that healthcare guy 405 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 2: and the reaction to it online, but also in terms 406 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 2: of how much ignorance is being displayed. And I excuse 407 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 2: people for this because the media never writes about this 408 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 2: or very very rarely does, the unholy horrific interaction between 409 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: government and specifically Obamacare and Congress and private healthcare and insurance. 410 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 2: It is an unholy relationship which forces the private insurance 411 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 2: companies to do things that they would not normally do. 412 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 2: So if you think, you know, I got denied or 413 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 2: whatever and it sucks and I'm angry, well yeah, you've 414 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 2: got to look at Congress and people don't understand that. 415 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: So maybe we'll get Craig gott Wallace on to talk 416 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: about that later this week or talking about our anyway, 417 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 2: We're going to talk to a couple of our favorite 418 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 2: military analysts about what's going on in the Middle East, 419 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 2: because the United States is involved. Absolutely, we have troops 420 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 2: there and did a lot of bombing yesterday in Syria, 421 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 2: for instance. So that'll be at least an hour two. 422 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 2: I hope you can catch that an economic thing that 423 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 2: I find interesting. Last week I was bemoaning the fact 424 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 2: that I did not buy bitcoin. Even if I had 425 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 2: bought bitcoin after the first time I bemoined bitcoin. 426 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: After the election, I still would have done well. 427 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 2: And then I hit one hundred thousand dollars last week 428 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 2: and whatever. But this article on the Wall Street Journal 429 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 2: young men are making risky bets on crypto and politics 430 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 2: and raking it in right now, I thought was an 431 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 2: more interesting sociological story than financial story about the way 432 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 2: young men feel in this country. And as a guy 433 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 2: who's raising a couple of young men, it worries me 434 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 2: a lot. And did you know this if you had 435 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 2: a hypothetical portfolio. 436 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 1: Of course nobody would have this, so it's a little unfair. 437 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 2: But if you had a hypothetical portfolio hole equal amounts 438 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 2: of bitcoin, gold, the meme stock game stop, and the 439 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,719 Speaker 2: sports betting stock draft kings, you were to return sixty 440 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 2: two percent so far this year. 441 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: That has tripled the. 442 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 2: Returns of a traditional portfolio that most of us have. 443 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: Sixty percent stocks, forty percent bonds, that sort of thing. 444 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 2: Sixty two percent, that'd be a pretty good year if 445 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 2: you had those faith. 446 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's. 447 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 2: Mostly young men that are doing this thing, these things, 448 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 2: these kind of stocks. Some forty two percent of men's 449 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 2: ages ages eighteen to twenty nine invested in or used crypto, 450 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 2: versus only seventeen percent of women. 451 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: In that age group. 452 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 2: A Pew Research Center said almost eleven percent of men 453 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 2: say they are well, I'll skip that, I'll get to 454 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:44,959 Speaker 2: this because I don't want to. I want to use 455 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 2: a part time. I want to get to the part 456 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 2: that I think is actually most important. Some men say 457 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 2: they have little choice but to roll the dice in 458 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 2: a world they believe is stacked against them. Their participation 459 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 2: in the labor force is falling while it's growing for 460 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 2: women their age. Young men is less likely to enroll 461 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 2: in college. Men out earn women in the workplace and 462 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 2: are more likely to reach executive level positions, But some 463 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 2: forty five percent of young men said in twenty twenty 464 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 2: three they face gender discrimination. Only a third of men 465 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 2: said that in twenty nineteen. It's now almost half. That's 466 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 2: how much it's grown in just a few years, according 467 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 2: to recent surveys. And then it goes through how many 468 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 2: women are in college campuses, and are this percentage of 469 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 2: that and that percentage of the I think the view 470 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 2: that younger men have of themselves in their role in society. Wow, 471 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 2: that's an underappreciated problem we have in the country, and 472 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 2: I don't know what we do to fix it. I 473 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 2: agree completely absolutely, you combine, you know, the things you 474 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 2: mentioned with people are not coupling, partly because so many 475 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 2: women are radical leftists who won't couple with anybody who's 476 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 2: not a radical leftist. You got to just the value 477 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 2: of the nuclear family being diminished in society, and just 478 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 2: all of the things that all of the most fundamental 479 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 2: and primal things that drive men I will provide and 480 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 2: I will protect have been taken away. We've talked about 481 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 2: this for a couple of years about how the percentage 482 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 2: of working age males that are not in the workforce 483 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 2: is as high as it was during the Great Depression. 484 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 2: That's horrifying, Yeah it is, and strange, Yes, it is 485 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 2: very strange in a society that's not, like, really focused 486 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 2: on what's going on. There is gonna pay price for 487 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 2: it at some point. No, because of the utterly moronic 488 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: whatever they say. It was the second phase of feminism 489 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 2: or something where to be pro woman meant to be 490 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 2: anti man, which is just an idiotic notion, But that 491 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 2: doesn't mean it wasn't really popular. But does this surprise 492 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 2: anybody that more women come out of high school thinking, oh, yeah, 493 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,479 Speaker 2: here are the many opportunities for me in America of 494 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 2: ways to make a living and make a go of 495 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 2: it in the world. And it's much much less so 496 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 2: for young men to feel like, you know, college is 497 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 2: for me, welcoming for me, or this career path or whatever. 498 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 2: I have no data to prove this point, but I 499 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 2: suspect that it's true. I think a lot of young 500 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 2: men also emerge from their schooling beaten down right because 501 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 2: they have been systematically given the message there is something 502 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 2: wrong with you merely because you are male, but also 503 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 2: because like as a little boy, you acted like a male. 504 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 2: Masculinity of any sort, including boyish energy, is pathologized in 505 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 2: our sick, sick communist government schools, combined with an attitude 506 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 2: that is changing thanks to Mike Row and lots of people, 507 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 2: but an attitude of the kind of jobs that a 508 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,360 Speaker 2: lot of men would like to do are belittled, and 509 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 2: you know, paper pushing jobs that more women would be 510 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 2: more interested in are seen as fantastic, well, and just 511 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 2: the whole Obama era smugness about of course everything he 512 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 2: did had smugness about it, but the idea that college 513 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 2: is the only route for the respectable and those unwashed 514 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 2: idiot brutes who don't go to college and work their 515 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 2: menial jobs building HVAC companies and being carpenters and whatever. 516 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: That's just sad, so sad. Do they even have the 517 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: power of speech, those brutes? I mean, that was the attitude. 518 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 2: So if the takeaway from that article in the Wall 519 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 2: Street Journal was supposed to be that men feel like 520 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 2: they either do or just feel like they have no 521 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 2: route to success in America, they're going to take these 522 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 2: higher risk bets on crypto and some of these other stocks, 523 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,479 Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal of all publications shouldn't go with 524 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 2: if you had this imaginary portfolio. 525 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: Well, nobody does so. 526 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 2: And even if you have that imaginary portfolio, you'd have 527 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 2: to get in at the right time and get out 528 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 2: the right time to take advantage of that. So, I mean, again, 529 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal of all places shouldn't shouldn't play. 530 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: That kind of game, right, right exactly? Yeah? 531 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 2: I uh, well, yeah, I've had more to say on that, 532 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 2: but that's probably enough for now. Well, would you say, 533 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 2: am I right or wrong about this? Maybe I'm just 534 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 2: trying to soothe my hurt feelings over the fact that 535 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 2: I don't understand cryptocurrency. Is it just a very small 536 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 2: percentage of people that are actually getting in and getting 537 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 2: out at the right times too? Oh yeah, yeah, I 538 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 2: mean every time it goes up, it goes down again, 539 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 2: and those people take a bath. But that's not very 540 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 2: exciting to write or read about. So it's like people 541 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: who lose at Vegas. They don't come home and tell 542 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 2: their friends the other part of it. And this is 543 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 2: the part that I decided not to say, but I'll 544 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 2: go ahead. I lost four thousand dollars. Then I got Chlymythia. 545 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 2: Nobody ever told me that. So I used to play 546 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: a fair amount of poker. I play less now. And 547 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 2: I think it's interesting that what is one of the 548 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 2: big financial places has all of their new associates take 549 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 2: one hundred hours of poker training and playing and all 550 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 2: so they start to understand risk and levels of risk 551 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 2: and that sort of thing. And I don't get frustrated 552 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 2: about missing these meme stocks. 553 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: And stuff like that. 554 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 2: More than a little because and I hope this makes 555 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,719 Speaker 2: sense to if you play poker, it certainly does. You 556 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 2: have a policy depending on where you are in the game, 557 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 2: how many chips you have, whatever. If I have like 558 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 2: a decent hand, I will roll the dice and pay 559 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 2: some to see, like in Texas, hold them the flop. 560 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 2: Those are the three community cards that come out first. 561 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 2: But if I have a crap hand, I have a 562 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 2: three and a seven, for instance, I'm not going to 563 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 2: pay anything to see that flop because it's just unlikely 564 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 2: as a percentage, it's not likely enough that it would 565 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 2: bear out for me. 566 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: And sometimes so you fold your hand. 567 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 2: Then sometimes the flop is three three, I'd have had 568 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 2: quad threes and taken everybody's. 569 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: Money, but that doesn't matter. 570 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 2: My policy is I do the math in my head, 571 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 2: and I don't gamble on things not worth gambling on. 572 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 2: So as long as you have like a method to 573 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 2: the madness of your investing in your financial moves and 574 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,959 Speaker 2: don't beat and maybe it is maybe you're young and 575 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 2: untethered and you chase meme stocks and bitcoin and stuff 576 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 2: like that, good for you, kind of fun. I'm kind 577 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 2: of jealous. But why does the Wall Street Journal crowd 578 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 2: talk up crypto like it is solid sound investment strategy. 579 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: They don't believe that. 580 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 2: There's no way. Most of the people in the Wall 581 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 2: Street Journal believe that. No, it's almost just purely speculation. 582 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 2: So it's exciting. It gets clicks, So it's just like 583 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 2: any other newspaper. It's just yeah, I see those articles. 584 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 2: I read them too, Yeah. 585 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I kick myself right in the ass. Yeah. 586 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 2: I try not to because that that whole Foma thing. Oh, 587 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 2: it comes on strong, doesn't it. Like you run into 588 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 2: a guy who says, yeah, I bought Apple in nineteen 589 00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 2: ninety one at four dollars. 590 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to hear that. Shut up, you're right. 591 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 2: Nobody ever says I got into bitcoin late, thought I 592 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 2: would jump on it. I lost a bunch of money 593 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 2: and I got chmydia once again. I don't know how 594 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 2: this guy got clividio and my stories everybody gets chomydia. 595 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: Well, it's everywhere pretty careful. 596 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 2: We've got Katie's headlines on the wais stay here.
