18
00:01:07,457 --> 00:01:11,137
Speaker 1: time on the program. Doug Brunt is with us. He's

19
00:01:11,177 --> 00:01:15,017
Speaker 1: an author a podcaster. His latest book is The Mysterious

22
00:01:20,937 --> 00:01:26,297
Speaker 1: podcast dedicated what's the podcast about? Sounds cool?

23
00:01:26,657 --> 00:01:29,617
Speaker 2: Well, the podcast it actually stemmed from a book club

24
00:01:29,697 --> 00:01:30,977
Speaker 2: I used to be in with a bunch of other

25
00:01:30,977 --> 00:01:33,817
Speaker 2: writers like Lee Child and Nelson de Mill and Harlan

26
00:01:33,857 --> 00:01:36,017
Speaker 2: Covid and Aymore. Told me to get together once a

27
00:01:36,057 --> 00:01:38,537
Speaker 2: month and talk about books and have drinks. And I

28
00:01:38,577 --> 00:01:40,497
Speaker 2: was talking to some friends at Sirius XM and they're like,

29
00:01:40,697 --> 00:01:42,497
Speaker 2: this should be a show, but you should have these

30
00:01:42,497 --> 00:01:42,897
Speaker 2: guys on.

31
00:01:42,977 --> 00:01:43,977
Speaker 3: So that's really what happens.

32
00:01:44,017 --> 00:01:46,937
Speaker 2: I start every episode with a guest favorite cocktail, fix

33
00:01:47,017 --> 00:01:49,297
Speaker 2: the drink on set, and then we just talk about

34
00:01:49,337 --> 00:01:51,697
Speaker 2: books and the writing lifestyle and stuff like that. It's

35
00:01:51,697 --> 00:01:53,057
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. If there are writers out there

36
00:01:53,057 --> 00:01:54,577
Speaker 2: you want to get to know a little bit more about,

37
00:01:54,697 --> 00:01:56,137
Speaker 2: it's a good way to go.

38
00:01:56,137 --> 00:01:59,777
Speaker 1: And it's funny. I was actually at a satyr recently

39
00:01:59,857 --> 00:02:03,537
Speaker 1: with my neighbors and someone asked me, you know, how

40
00:02:03,577 --> 00:02:05,977
Speaker 1: did you get into the CIA, And I started telling

41
00:02:06,057 --> 00:02:08,457
Speaker 1: them because it was completely my own. I have no

42
00:02:09,257 --> 00:02:13,337
Speaker 1: parents or you know, family ties to military, government services

43
00:02:13,337 --> 00:02:17,137
Speaker 1: anything like that. At all, and I said, honestly, probably

44
00:02:17,217 --> 00:02:20,217
Speaker 1: Tom Clancy novels. And they're like, wait really, And then

45
00:02:20,337 --> 00:02:22,417
Speaker 1: one of the there was a young man who's like

46
00:02:22,457 --> 00:02:24,017
Speaker 1: the neighbors who are friends with the neighbors of the

47
00:02:24,017 --> 00:02:27,257
Speaker 1: neighbor's kid, who's he's maybe thirteen or fourteen. I was like,

48
00:02:27,297 --> 00:02:28,737
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to get you. He's like really, and

49
00:02:28,737 --> 00:02:30,857
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I'll give you a Tom Clancy novel,

50
00:02:31,257 --> 00:02:32,937
Speaker 1: you know, and you could see like it just it

51
00:02:33,097 --> 00:02:35,537
Speaker 1: just opened this whole world to me. And then after

52
00:02:35,657 --> 00:02:37,017
Speaker 1: nine to eleven, I'm like, what am I gonna do?

53
00:02:37,097 --> 00:02:38,657
Speaker 1: I was like, I think I'm gonna do Jack Ryan

54
00:02:38,657 --> 00:02:40,817
Speaker 1: stuff joined the CIA, and sure enough, that's what I

55
00:02:40,857 --> 00:02:41,417
Speaker 1: nd up happening.

56
00:02:41,617 --> 00:02:43,577
Speaker 3: So authors books are amazing.

57
00:02:43,857 --> 00:02:45,897
Speaker 2: One of the few first editions that I have is

58
00:02:46,257 --> 00:02:48,097
Speaker 2: Hunt for Red October, which is by some it was

59
00:02:48,137 --> 00:02:51,057
Speaker 2: the Naval Press, you know, some small press like.

60
00:02:51,097 --> 00:02:53,177
Speaker 1: That is just a great book, and credit is I

61
00:02:53,297 --> 00:02:55,097
Speaker 1: have a copy of it that I've inscribed to my

62
00:02:55,177 --> 00:02:57,217
Speaker 1: neighbor downstairs right now that I'm gonna be giving him

63
00:02:57,257 --> 00:02:59,217
Speaker 1: in about a week, because that was that was sort

64
00:02:59,257 --> 00:03:00,937
Speaker 1: of my original entrain to Jack Ryan. And then I

65
00:03:00,937 --> 00:03:05,577
Speaker 1: remember I read without Remorse and Dead of Honor and

66
00:03:05,657 --> 00:03:06,937
Speaker 1: some of all fear. I mean, you know, all the

67
00:03:07,377 --> 00:03:09,457
Speaker 1: basically all the ones that have since been made into movies.

68
00:03:09,457 --> 00:03:11,377
Speaker 1: But I was reading these as a kid, and the

69
00:03:11,457 --> 00:03:16,257
Speaker 1: two authors that really I think, I think I have

70
00:03:16,297 --> 00:03:17,737
Speaker 1: to say change my life. And I think I joined

71
00:03:17,777 --> 00:03:21,657
Speaker 1: the CIA because of Tom Clancy. You know, I was

72
00:03:21,697 --> 00:03:23,257
Speaker 1: a fifth grader I'm reading these books, or you know,

73
00:03:23,337 --> 00:03:26,017
Speaker 1: sixth grader or whatever it was. And the other one

74
00:03:26,057 --> 00:03:29,457
Speaker 1: would be actually Michael Crichton. I'm kind of a Michael

75
00:03:29,497 --> 00:03:31,337
Speaker 1: Crichton super fan. I know, everyone just knows him for

76
00:03:31,457 --> 00:03:34,537
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park. Are you a big Michael Crichton guy too? Yeah,

77
00:03:34,617 --> 00:03:36,657
Speaker 1: I mean I think he was married seven times, which

78
00:03:36,977 --> 00:03:38,817
Speaker 1: was a little a little sketch, but you know, no

79
00:03:38,857 --> 00:03:39,457
Speaker 1: one's perfect.

80
00:03:40,297 --> 00:03:42,857
Speaker 2: I admire his whole career because he did so many

81
00:03:42,897 --> 00:03:44,737
Speaker 2: different things. Whatever he wanted to do he did. He

82
00:03:44,777 --> 00:03:46,937
Speaker 2: wrote fiction and non fiction for TV, and he was

83
00:03:47,017 --> 00:03:48,137
Speaker 2: always in the zeitgeist.

84
00:03:48,177 --> 00:03:48,257
Speaker 4: You know.

85
00:03:48,337 --> 00:03:51,657
Speaker 2: Even Jurassic Park is largely about chaos theory, which was

86
00:03:51,817 --> 00:03:53,977
Speaker 2: very much in the zeitgeist at that time, but in

87
00:03:54,137 --> 00:03:57,817
Speaker 2: Japan taking over the world economically with Rising Sun, and

88
00:03:57,897 --> 00:04:00,817
Speaker 2: even disclosure was about workplace harassment long before people were

89
00:04:00,897 --> 00:04:02,057
Speaker 2: really talking about that.

90
00:04:02,777 --> 00:04:05,937
Speaker 1: I love State of Fear, which is him taking the

91
00:04:05,977 --> 00:04:09,377
Speaker 1: whole climate change catastrophism to task. I thought it was

92
00:04:09,417 --> 00:04:13,057
Speaker 1: really interesting. I remember some early We're gonna get to

93
00:04:13,097 --> 00:04:14,977
Speaker 1: news of the day in a moment. Everybody, just hang on,

94
00:04:15,137 --> 00:04:17,617
Speaker 1: hang on, we're doing our own version of his dedicated

95
00:04:17,697 --> 00:04:20,297
Speaker 1: podcast now. But I remember I used to go back

96
00:04:20,337 --> 00:04:22,697
Speaker 1: and watch some of these interviews with with Crichton, and

97
00:04:22,777 --> 00:04:26,937
Speaker 1: I thought he was such an interesting guy on many levels.

98
00:04:27,057 --> 00:04:31,257
Speaker 1: Harvard trained MD, and I think he's the only person

99
00:04:31,337 --> 00:04:34,417
Speaker 1: that I've ever heard of who was the creator author

100
00:04:34,577 --> 00:04:37,337
Speaker 1: of the number one book, the number one movie, and

101
00:04:37,377 --> 00:04:39,737
Speaker 1: the number one TV show in America all at the

102
00:04:39,777 --> 00:04:45,457
Speaker 1: same time. The show Jurassic Park, the book Jurassic Park,

103
00:04:45,497 --> 00:04:47,737
Speaker 1: the movie, best selling book at the time best obviously

104
00:04:47,777 --> 00:04:50,297
Speaker 1: the biggest movie in the country at the time, was

105
00:04:50,337 --> 00:04:53,057
Speaker 1: a huge box office smash, and then er was the

106
00:04:53,097 --> 00:04:55,217
Speaker 1: most popular TV show I think in the same year.

107
00:04:56,297 --> 00:04:58,177
Speaker 1: So it was pretty reminded too young.

108
00:04:58,337 --> 00:04:59,897
Speaker 3: Who knows what he would have been doing by now.

109
00:05:00,177 --> 00:05:02,537
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it's a shame he got you know,

110
00:05:02,617 --> 00:05:05,097
Speaker 1: he got nailed by by cancer. But I I just

111
00:05:05,177 --> 00:05:07,017
Speaker 1: remember him in I think it was a Charlie Rose

112
00:05:07,057 --> 00:05:09,897
Speaker 1: interview which you can probably still see on YouTube, and

113
00:05:10,057 --> 00:05:12,337
Speaker 1: and he, Charlie Rose, is looking at them and you

114
00:05:12,377 --> 00:05:15,937
Speaker 1: can tell Mike he was such a big name and

115
00:05:16,857 --> 00:05:19,217
Speaker 1: clearly a very very smart guy, very very successful guy.

116
00:05:19,257 --> 00:05:23,337
Speaker 1: And Charlie Rose when Michael Crichton says global warming, climate change,

117
00:05:23,377 --> 00:05:24,937
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, it's happening. It's not

118
00:05:25,017 --> 00:05:27,017
Speaker 1: a big deal, it doesn't really matter. Everyone needs to

119
00:05:27,057 --> 00:05:30,377
Speaker 1: calm down. I mean, that's a truncated version. Charlie Rose

120
00:05:30,617 --> 00:05:32,977
Speaker 1: was like having a fit. He just couldn't and this

121
00:05:33,177 --> 00:05:36,577
Speaker 1: is this is twenty years ago. He's just like, but what,

122
00:05:36,777 --> 00:05:38,777
Speaker 1: he goes, I read the data, I know the data.

123
00:05:38,817 --> 00:05:40,497
Speaker 1: All these scientists who are telling you about the data,

124
00:05:40,697 --> 00:05:42,657
Speaker 1: they actually all their models are crap. Like he just

125
00:05:42,697 --> 00:05:44,617
Speaker 1: gets into it a little bit, and he tries to

126
00:05:44,697 --> 00:05:47,017
Speaker 1: be very He's even like I like al Gore, which

127
00:05:47,057 --> 00:05:49,177
Speaker 1: you know, dubious, but he's like, I like al Gore,

128
00:05:49,217 --> 00:05:51,897
Speaker 1: He's wrong about everything. And I'm just like, more people

129
00:05:51,977 --> 00:05:52,897
Speaker 1: need to see this interview.

130
00:05:52,937 --> 00:05:55,017
Speaker 3: But anyway, I'm going to go find that on YouTube

131
00:05:55,017 --> 00:05:55,297
Speaker 3: after this.

132
00:05:55,537 --> 00:05:58,537
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's it's it's solid, it's solid. He really

133
00:05:58,617 --> 00:06:00,097
Speaker 1: makes his way through it. But anyway, those two authors

134
00:06:00,217 --> 00:06:03,697
Speaker 1: changed my life. And you know, I wanted to ask you, Uh,

135
00:06:03,897 --> 00:06:06,017
Speaker 1: maybe I'll ask you a little bit more about your book,

136
00:06:06,097 --> 00:06:08,657
Speaker 1: The Case of a Mysterious Case of Rudolph Diesel, just

137
00:06:08,737 --> 00:06:12,857
Speaker 1: because I'm in the process of writing a nonfiction book

138
00:06:12,937 --> 00:06:15,097
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm actually in the edit stage right

139
00:06:15,137 --> 00:06:18,017
Speaker 1: so I've already handed in my draft and I'll take

140
00:06:18,057 --> 00:06:20,777
Speaker 1: any any wisdom. Yeah, I'm getting notes about I'll take

141
00:06:20,777 --> 00:06:23,017
Speaker 1: any wisdom or advice about about getting through the process.

142
00:06:23,057 --> 00:06:28,377
Speaker 1: But first up where we're Oh, yes, so Megan Kelly.

143
00:06:28,457 --> 00:06:33,537
Speaker 1: She's a fabulous radio host and podcaster and also happens

144
00:06:33,577 --> 00:06:36,777
Speaker 1: to be your wife, and she is all over the

145
00:06:37,097 --> 00:06:41,177
Speaker 1: intrawebs right now with the clips of her and Bill

146
00:06:41,297 --> 00:06:44,177
Speaker 1: maher going back and forth. What do you think about

147
00:06:44,257 --> 00:06:47,897
Speaker 1: about the exchanges that they had and what were the

148
00:06:47,977 --> 00:06:50,297
Speaker 1: issues where you feel like, wow, Bill needs to brush

149
00:06:50,417 --> 00:06:50,897
Speaker 1: up a little bit.

150
00:06:51,657 --> 00:06:52,657
Speaker 3: It was amazing.

151
00:06:52,817 --> 00:06:54,977
Speaker 2: I mean, she, first of all, she can fact she

152
00:06:55,177 --> 00:06:57,537
Speaker 2: she knows her stuff, She's steeped in the news. She's

153
00:06:57,577 --> 00:07:01,217
Speaker 2: the best prepared person out there. And so they had

154
00:07:01,217 --> 00:07:05,257
Speaker 2: this interview where he started making all these factual misstatements

155
00:07:05,657 --> 00:07:07,937
Speaker 2: and she would correct him. You know the thing you

156
00:07:08,017 --> 00:07:10,897
Speaker 2: come away after watching him. She's so classy, she's so smart,

157
00:07:11,017 --> 00:07:13,857
Speaker 2: she's so prepared. She could have just clubbed him like

158
00:07:13,897 --> 00:07:16,577
Speaker 2: a harp seal, but she doesn't. She just corrects him.

159
00:07:17,417 --> 00:07:20,577
Speaker 2: But it happened again and again. You know, she was saying, well,

160
00:07:20,617 --> 00:07:23,977
Speaker 2: you know, Hillary Clinton was the first to actually deny elections,

161
00:07:24,977 --> 00:07:28,257
Speaker 2: and bel Mar's like, she was never she never denied

162
00:07:28,257 --> 00:07:31,257
Speaker 2: the election. She conceded right away as well. She conceded,

163
00:07:31,297 --> 00:07:36,057
Speaker 2: and then she went and spent four years denying the election. Yeah, validity.

164
00:07:36,457 --> 00:07:39,177
Speaker 2: And he goes, no, she didn't, and she says she did.

165
00:07:39,257 --> 00:07:41,097
Speaker 2: He goes, well, tell me exactly what she said, and

166
00:07:41,177 --> 00:07:44,377
Speaker 2: she said, she said exactly that. You know, It's just

167
00:07:44,577 --> 00:07:47,057
Speaker 2: there's this awkward pause as he realizes he actually doesn't

168
00:07:47,097 --> 00:07:49,377
Speaker 2: have the facts. And it happened again and again.

169
00:07:50,257 --> 00:07:53,297
Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton, of course, is the original election denier. I'm

170
00:07:53,337 --> 00:07:54,777
Speaker 4: sure you voted for her in sixteen.

171
00:07:54,937 --> 00:07:56,497
Speaker 5: Well, she's not an election denier.

172
00:07:56,657 --> 00:07:59,217
Speaker 4: She absolutely was the og election denier.

173
00:07:59,777 --> 00:08:03,177
Speaker 5: She first of all, she came out before the sun

174
00:08:03,377 --> 00:08:06,177
Speaker 5: had risen to concede the election to.

175
00:08:06,217 --> 00:08:08,977
Speaker 4: Trump, and then spent the next four years saying he

176
00:08:09,137 --> 00:08:11,617
Speaker 4: was illegitimate, he was an illegitimate president.

177
00:08:11,737 --> 00:08:14,897
Speaker 5: She okay, well, first of all saying she didn't say

178
00:08:14,897 --> 00:08:16,617
Speaker 5: he was an illegitimate Well, she did. You tell me

179
00:08:16,697 --> 00:08:17,617
Speaker 5: exactly what she said.

180
00:08:17,817 --> 00:08:19,617
Speaker 1: She said those exact words repeatedly.

181
00:08:21,337 --> 00:08:25,337
Speaker 5: Okay, I mean she conceded the election. Whether whether you're

182
00:08:25,417 --> 00:08:31,417
Speaker 5: interpreting her disappointment at losing it as the same thing

183
00:08:31,497 --> 00:08:34,257
Speaker 5: as Trump not conceding it, I don't know that that's

184
00:08:34,257 --> 00:08:36,737
Speaker 5: where you're getting it from. But again, it's a tremendous

185
00:08:36,817 --> 00:08:40,417
Speaker 5: false equivalency. You could ask Hillary Clinton right now who

186
00:08:40,497 --> 00:08:43,097
Speaker 5: won that election. She will tell you Donald Trump won.

187
00:08:43,217 --> 00:08:45,737
Speaker 4: Now she knows she has to because of what she

188
00:08:46,017 --> 00:08:46,537
Speaker 4: has she done.

189
00:08:46,617 --> 00:08:51,737
Speaker 5: Came out that night, she suit and conceded the election.

190
00:08:52,017 --> 00:08:54,697
Speaker 4: And then spent the next four years trying to convince

191
00:08:54,817 --> 00:08:55,977
Speaker 4: us it was not legitimate.

192
00:08:58,137 --> 00:09:00,577
Speaker 2: You know, she she's very gracious to her guests, so

193
00:09:00,657 --> 00:09:04,377
Speaker 2: she could have just gone for the juggular and but

194
00:09:04,457 --> 00:09:06,697
Speaker 2: she doesn't do that. And and you know, her audience

195
00:09:06,777 --> 00:09:09,217
Speaker 2: is smart. Your audience is smart. Everyone watching can see

196
00:09:09,257 --> 00:09:13,017
Speaker 2: this and recognize that Bill Maher has embarrassed himself, and

197
00:09:13,137 --> 00:09:14,217
Speaker 2: so she doesn't need to you.

198
00:09:14,377 --> 00:09:19,937
Speaker 1: So can I tell you my frustration? Yeah, My frustration

199
00:09:20,177 --> 00:09:23,497
Speaker 1: with with Bill Maher is I think he sort of

200
00:09:24,137 --> 00:09:27,537
Speaker 1: sees what's really going on a little bit in the country. Now.

201
00:09:28,537 --> 00:09:29,977
Speaker 1: He's been on the wrong side of things for a

202
00:09:30,057 --> 00:09:32,137
Speaker 1: long time. He's not wrong on everything. He's been good

203
00:09:32,177 --> 00:09:33,897
Speaker 1: on some issues for a while. But I think he

204
00:09:33,977 --> 00:09:36,657
Speaker 1: sees more and more of the truth, but he won't really,

205
00:09:37,337 --> 00:09:40,097
Speaker 1: he won't really like fully commit to the truth. It's

206
00:09:40,097 --> 00:09:42,457
Speaker 1: always this game of, well, you guys are right about

207
00:09:42,457 --> 00:09:44,137
Speaker 1: a few things, but I still hate Trump and he's

208
00:09:44,137 --> 00:09:45,417
Speaker 1: still going to destroy the country, and.

209
00:09:46,097 --> 00:09:47,497
Speaker 3: That's the main thing. That's the main thing.

210
00:09:47,537 --> 00:09:50,337
Speaker 2: I think Bill Maher has come around on some of

211
00:09:50,377 --> 00:09:53,137
Speaker 2: the cultural issues, you know, I think some of the

212
00:09:53,217 --> 00:09:55,697
Speaker 2: trans things and some of the race things. He's he's

213
00:09:55,777 --> 00:09:58,617
Speaker 2: not with the far left on that. He's much more moderate.

214
00:09:58,657 --> 00:10:00,097
Speaker 2: But you you hit the nail on the head. He's

215
00:10:00,257 --> 00:10:03,857
Speaker 2: he really has lost his marbles over Trump to the

216
00:10:03,897 --> 00:10:06,337
Speaker 2: point that he can no longer call balls and strikes

217
00:10:06,977 --> 00:10:10,017
Speaker 2: and and so every you know, not everything Trump does

218
00:10:10,257 --> 00:10:13,817
Speaker 2: is bad, but he's unable to sort of see anything

219
00:10:14,497 --> 00:10:16,257
Speaker 2: around that with a level head.

220
00:10:16,337 --> 00:10:18,417
Speaker 1: So he's just kind of well, I can tell you,

221
00:10:18,497 --> 00:10:20,537
Speaker 1: you know, it's personal with him, and it's personal with

222
00:10:20,617 --> 00:10:22,017
Speaker 1: him and Trump right, same way that it is with

223
00:10:22,137 --> 00:10:25,577
Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough. Same thing. These guys have had interactions. And

224
00:10:25,657 --> 00:10:27,217
Speaker 1: I know this, Like you know, I think that the

225
00:10:27,297 --> 00:10:31,297
Speaker 1: public has this perception that in media we're generally like

226
00:10:31,817 --> 00:10:36,057
Speaker 1: assessing each other as talents or voices or political pundits

227
00:10:36,137 --> 00:10:38,937
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. But sometimes we actually know each other,

228
00:10:39,177 --> 00:10:41,817
Speaker 1: and like you know, there's some people who we just

229
00:10:41,857 --> 00:10:44,217
Speaker 1: don't get along with very well. Like for example, when

230
00:10:44,257 --> 00:10:47,577
Speaker 1: I was on Megan Show recently, she brought up Christine Noam.

231
00:10:48,177 --> 00:10:51,417
Speaker 1: Christinoam is somebody who I have interacted with in the past,

232
00:10:51,617 --> 00:10:54,897
Speaker 1: you know her and I have interacted. Christine Nome lies

233
00:10:55,617 --> 00:10:58,017
Speaker 1: and will lie to my face, and I don't like that. Right,

234
00:10:58,137 --> 00:11:00,497
Speaker 1: So whenever someone's asking like, well, you sound like you're

235
00:11:00,577 --> 00:11:02,857
Speaker 1: kind of negative about you know this or that that

236
00:11:02,977 --> 00:11:04,617
Speaker 1: she's done, I'm like, well, yeah, I'll tell you the truth.

237
00:11:04,697 --> 00:11:06,097
Speaker 1: Like I think she's a liar, and I think she's,

238
00:11:06,137 --> 00:11:08,217
Speaker 1: you know, somebody that shouldn't be in a position of authority.

239
00:11:09,737 --> 00:11:13,297
Speaker 1: Joe Garborough and uh and Bill Maher are two guys

240
00:11:13,297 --> 00:11:16,817
Speaker 1: who have long standing like call it long standing beef

241
00:11:16,897 --> 00:11:18,577
Speaker 1: whatever you want to say. With Donald Trump and I

242
00:11:18,617 --> 00:11:22,137
Speaker 1: think it it completely blinds them to the issues of

243
00:11:22,337 --> 00:11:24,577
Speaker 1: like broader politics right now in a lot of ways

244
00:11:24,617 --> 00:11:28,137
Speaker 1: because they can't fully commit, because fully committing means voting

245
00:11:28,137 --> 00:11:29,897
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump, right. You know, you know what I'm saying,

246
00:11:29,977 --> 00:11:31,817
Speaker 1: Like they like he'll say, oh, I disagree with them

247
00:11:31,897 --> 00:11:33,857
Speaker 1: of the transitionue there. You know, the BLM stuff was

248
00:11:34,057 --> 00:11:35,737
Speaker 1: was not what it was supposed to be or you know,

249
00:11:35,817 --> 00:11:37,457
Speaker 1: it was terrible for the country. I say, it's terrible

250
00:11:37,497 --> 00:11:40,497
Speaker 1: for the country. You know, Biden is like a desiccated

251
00:11:40,657 --> 00:11:42,577
Speaker 1: uh you know, old buffoon. I mean the whole thing.

252
00:11:43,257 --> 00:11:44,737
Speaker 1: But he's still going to vote for Joe Biden, do

253
00:11:44,737 --> 00:11:46,617
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, it's not there's not

254
00:11:46,737 --> 00:11:47,697
Speaker 1: really a conversion there.

255
00:11:48,577 --> 00:11:50,977
Speaker 2: I agree, And I think, yeah, I think with mar

256
00:11:51,097 --> 00:11:52,817
Speaker 2: and Trump there's even some litigation and.

257
00:11:53,017 --> 00:11:57,297
Speaker 1: You know, yes Orangutang lawsuit.

258
00:11:58,017 --> 00:12:00,137
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think there's a personal thing, but there

259
00:12:00,217 --> 00:12:02,737
Speaker 2: might even be something more strategic than that when you

260
00:12:02,937 --> 00:12:05,297
Speaker 2: look at what for example, what joy Behar was saying.

261
00:12:05,377 --> 00:12:07,417
Speaker 2: She had mar on you Mars out there doing this

262
00:12:07,457 --> 00:12:09,777
Speaker 2: book to her and he went on the view and

263
00:12:09,857 --> 00:12:11,777
Speaker 2: joy by Hair was saying, well, I really hesitate to

264
00:12:11,977 --> 00:12:15,097
Speaker 2: say anything negative about Joe Biden, and I think conversely

265
00:12:15,457 --> 00:12:19,337
Speaker 2: probably feels anything positive about Donald Trump because she's worried

266
00:12:19,377 --> 00:12:21,777
Speaker 2: about any swing voters, you know, anyone on a fence.

267
00:12:21,817 --> 00:12:24,057
Speaker 2: She's like, I feel like if I hit Biden, that

268
00:12:24,257 --> 00:12:26,977
Speaker 2: might put some voters over to Trump. So it's strategic

269
00:12:27,057 --> 00:12:29,617
Speaker 2: on hard part. She can recognize when Biden has massive

270
00:12:29,697 --> 00:12:31,897
Speaker 2: gas or does something really stupid, she just don't want

271
00:12:31,937 --> 00:12:34,257
Speaker 2: to talk about it because she doesn't want to, you know,

272
00:12:34,337 --> 00:12:35,577
Speaker 2: have that influence the electorate.

273
00:12:36,977 --> 00:12:38,937
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, hold on one seck. We're gonna come back

274
00:12:38,937 --> 00:12:41,657
Speaker 1: to all things trump world and the news cycle and

275
00:12:41,737 --> 00:12:43,537
Speaker 1: everything else in just a second. But you know, this

276
00:12:43,657 --> 00:12:46,537
Speaker 1: one really hits home for me. There's one guy out

277
00:12:46,577 --> 00:12:50,497
Speaker 1: there who has shaped my view of politics and economics

278
00:12:51,137 --> 00:12:54,697
Speaker 1: almost as much as my dad, and it's Porter Stansbury.

279
00:12:54,697 --> 00:12:56,217
Speaker 1: He's been a friend of mine for a decade and

280
00:12:56,297 --> 00:12:58,457
Speaker 1: for the last twenty five years he has predicted almost

281
00:12:58,497 --> 00:13:03,057
Speaker 1: every major economic and financial move. He has produced a

282
00:13:03,297 --> 00:13:06,297
Speaker 1: documentary that you absolutely have to see, and I think

283
00:13:06,377 --> 00:13:08,617
Speaker 1: the title of it tells you what he's thinking. He

284
00:13:08,777 --> 00:13:12,657
Speaker 1: calls it America's Last Election. It details how there's a

285
00:13:12,697 --> 00:13:15,177
Speaker 1: new financial crisis growing. Look at the thirty four trillion

286
00:13:15,217 --> 00:13:17,497
Speaker 1: dollars of debt we have and the dangers that could

287
00:13:17,497 --> 00:13:19,817
Speaker 1: pose to your finances and your future. So if you

288
00:13:19,897 --> 00:13:22,097
Speaker 1: own any stocks, bonds, or just have cash in the bank,

289
00:13:22,217 --> 00:13:25,217
Speaker 1: or own your home, you've got to watch this documentary.

290
00:13:25,297 --> 00:13:29,657
Speaker 1: Go to Last Election Plot dot com. That's Last Election

291
00:13:29,897 --> 00:13:34,777
Speaker 1: Plot dot com paid for by Porter and Company. Doug.

292
00:13:34,857 --> 00:13:36,697
Speaker 1: What do you think happens if there's a guilty verdict

293
00:13:36,737 --> 00:13:38,057
Speaker 1: in New York against Donald Trump?

294
00:13:39,777 --> 00:13:42,457
Speaker 3: I don't know, in terms of the outcome of the election.

295
00:13:42,577 --> 00:13:44,697
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in terms of the politics, I don't think

296
00:13:44,697 --> 00:13:47,097
Speaker 1: anyone knows if they're worth they think the punishment's going

297
00:13:47,137 --> 00:13:48,617
Speaker 1: to be that's crazy. But I'm just saying if there's

298
00:13:48,617 --> 00:13:50,937
Speaker 1: a guilty verdict doesn't really matter. You think Trump still

299
00:13:50,937 --> 00:13:51,857
Speaker 1: stays ahead in the polls.

300
00:13:52,457 --> 00:13:54,577
Speaker 3: I think it's kind of baked into the polls already.

301
00:13:55,057 --> 00:13:55,257
Speaker 1: Yeah.

302
00:13:55,297 --> 00:13:57,257
Speaker 2: I think I think people are you know, anyone sort

303
00:13:57,297 --> 00:14:00,457
Speaker 2: of watching or even even loosely watching just sort of

304
00:14:01,977 --> 00:14:03,537
Speaker 2: you know, kind of sees things for what it is.

305
00:14:04,137 --> 00:14:06,697
Speaker 2: The actual guilty verdict, you know, that is a difference.

306
00:14:06,737 --> 00:14:08,217
Speaker 2: But I just feel like it's sort of baked into

307
00:14:08,217 --> 00:14:08,977
Speaker 2: the numbers already.

308
00:14:09,217 --> 00:14:13,617
Speaker 1: Well, I also feel like a guilty verdict for a

309
00:14:13,777 --> 00:14:17,737
Speaker 1: thing that is bad gilty. If someone says, this guy's

310
00:14:17,777 --> 00:14:20,457
Speaker 1: guilty of armed robbery, or like, this guy's guilty of,

311
00:14:20,577 --> 00:14:22,697
Speaker 1: you know, hitting an old lady over the head with

312
00:14:22,857 --> 00:14:25,297
Speaker 1: a lead pipe to steal her bag, you go, oh,

313
00:14:26,297 --> 00:14:32,417
Speaker 1: a guilty verdict on business records that are a misdemeanor

314
00:14:32,577 --> 00:14:36,497
Speaker 1: but maybe a felony for an unnamed federal election issue

315
00:14:36,537 --> 00:14:37,977
Speaker 1: that they don't even tell us what it is that

316
00:14:38,017 --> 00:14:40,177
Speaker 1: he's not even been convicted for. I mean, it is

317
00:14:40,297 --> 00:14:43,577
Speaker 1: the vaguest, crappiest criminal case I've ever seen in my life.

318
00:14:43,577 --> 00:14:46,537
Speaker 1: I've actually never seen a flimsier criminal indictment. And I

319
00:14:46,657 --> 00:14:50,217
Speaker 1: even have Democrat DA friends in New York who worked

320
00:14:50,217 --> 00:14:52,777
Speaker 1: at the DA's office who will admit that, like they

321
00:14:52,777 --> 00:14:54,457
Speaker 1: can't say it out loud because they'll get fired, but

322
00:14:54,737 --> 00:14:56,577
Speaker 1: they know this is garbage.

323
00:14:57,137 --> 00:14:57,337
Speaker 3: Yeah.

324
00:14:57,377 --> 00:14:59,417
Speaker 2: I think enough people know that and have been talking

325
00:14:59,457 --> 00:15:01,697
Speaker 2: about that. And the Fanny Willis stuff, which is a

326
00:15:01,737 --> 00:15:04,617
Speaker 2: totally separate thing but was so absurd and got so

327
00:15:04,817 --> 00:15:07,257
Speaker 2: much national attention that I think in the minds of

328
00:15:07,257 --> 00:15:08,657
Speaker 2: a lot of people, these are all sort of lumped

329
00:15:08,697 --> 00:15:12,617
Speaker 2: together as these things that are clawed together by his

330
00:15:12,777 --> 00:15:15,457
Speaker 2: political opponents to come after him, Like, you know, you're

331
00:15:15,457 --> 00:15:19,177
Speaker 2: really supposed to prosecute crime in America, not prosecute people.

332
00:15:19,497 --> 00:15:22,657
Speaker 2: So but we've decided to sort of prosecute this person

333
00:15:22,857 --> 00:15:24,457
Speaker 2: as opposed to any particular crimes.

334
00:15:24,537 --> 00:15:26,657
Speaker 3: And so I think people see that.

335
00:15:27,137 --> 00:15:30,537
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I always remind everyone it's it couldn't be

336
00:15:30,577 --> 00:15:33,457
Speaker 1: more obvious that these were all prosecutions that were held

337
00:15:34,297 --> 00:15:37,257
Speaker 1: for political impact, right, meaning that they could have been

338
00:15:37,297 --> 00:15:39,817
Speaker 1: brought much sooner. There's in the case of New York,

339
00:15:39,857 --> 00:15:42,057
Speaker 1: there's nothing. In fact, it's past the Statute of Limitations.

340
00:15:42,497 --> 00:15:45,057
Speaker 1: It was past the Statute of Limitations. They created a

341
00:15:45,377 --> 00:15:48,337
Speaker 1: pretext to extend the Statute of Limitations, and then within

342
00:15:48,417 --> 00:15:51,497
Speaker 1: the new Statute of Limitations waited until the election year.

343
00:15:51,497 --> 00:15:53,977
Speaker 1: I mean, so it's all very obvious. And so I

344
00:15:54,017 --> 00:15:56,537
Speaker 1: think they've created a I think they've created an environment

345
00:15:56,577 --> 00:16:00,457
Speaker 1: where even if you recognize some of Trump's flaws and like,

346
00:16:00,537 --> 00:16:02,977
Speaker 1: I find Trump again, I know him, right, I mean,

347
00:16:03,017 --> 00:16:04,737
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've dealt with the You've met Trump in

348
00:16:04,777 --> 00:16:05,097
Speaker 1: the past.

349
00:16:05,977 --> 00:16:08,457
Speaker 2: Gave me a handshake one time, which I was ticked

350
00:16:08,497 --> 00:16:11,617
Speaker 2: off about. Well, what shaper he'll like sort of.

351
00:16:11,657 --> 00:16:14,177
Speaker 3: Reach out he reaches way out and then he pulls

352
00:16:14,257 --> 00:16:15,737
Speaker 3: you in. You know, he sort of jerks you off

353
00:16:15,777 --> 00:16:16,137
Speaker 3: your feet.

354
00:16:17,097 --> 00:16:19,497
Speaker 1: He gave you one of those just oh yeah, it was.

355
00:16:19,657 --> 00:16:20,297
Speaker 3: This is years ago.

356
00:16:20,377 --> 00:16:24,537
Speaker 2: This is probably twenty fourteen or something. We were at

357
00:16:25,137 --> 00:16:26,777
Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden for a hockey.

358
00:16:26,577 --> 00:16:30,297
Speaker 3: Game or something. Him briefly there, and you know, it

359
00:16:30,337 --> 00:16:30,897
Speaker 3: actually wasn't that.

360
00:16:30,897 --> 00:16:32,057
Speaker 2: I did see him there once, but it was at

361
00:16:32,137 --> 00:16:37,217
Speaker 2: the Heeraldo Rivera was doing the Celebrity Apprentice there too.

362
00:16:37,817 --> 00:16:38,977
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's years years ago.

363
00:16:39,017 --> 00:16:41,097
Speaker 2: But yeah, he's sort of famous for having his tactic

364
00:16:41,177 --> 00:16:43,457
Speaker 2: to sort of get you off your game a little bit.

365
00:16:43,497 --> 00:16:45,857
Speaker 2: So he reaches far out, but he braces himself and

366
00:16:45,897 --> 00:16:47,777
Speaker 2: then when you shake his hand, he pulls you so

367
00:16:47,857 --> 00:16:49,777
Speaker 2: you come like sort of fumbling into him a little bit.

368
00:16:50,497 --> 00:16:53,057
Speaker 2: And afterward I was like, did you see what he did?

369
00:16:53,137 --> 00:16:55,657
Speaker 2: That was so ridiculous? And then of course I looked

370
00:16:55,657 --> 00:16:57,217
Speaker 2: for it on TV and you see it every once

371
00:16:57,217 --> 00:16:57,617
Speaker 2: in a while.

372
00:16:58,617 --> 00:17:00,177
Speaker 1: Last time I saw him, he gave me a vanilla

373
00:17:00,217 --> 00:17:02,817
Speaker 1: milkshake that I didn't even ask for, so I was, oh,

374
00:17:03,017 --> 00:17:05,697
Speaker 1: that's nice. He's got yeah, exactly, he's got different, different,

375
00:17:05,737 --> 00:17:07,257
Speaker 1: different strokes with different folks.

376
00:17:08,537 --> 00:17:12,057
Speaker 2: But I think there's a there's a firm, you know,

377
00:17:12,177 --> 00:17:14,417
Speaker 2: get a wide base. The next time you shake his hand,

378
00:17:14,537 --> 00:17:15,097
Speaker 2: be ready for it.

379
00:17:15,297 --> 00:17:17,857
Speaker 1: Okay, But obviously going to say I think that there's

380
00:17:18,017 --> 00:17:22,097
Speaker 1: a case to be made for people voting for Trump

381
00:17:22,257 --> 00:17:25,217
Speaker 1: just as a protest vote against all the stuff that

382
00:17:25,217 --> 00:17:26,897
Speaker 1: they're doing, because the stuff that they're doing is completely

383
00:17:26,937 --> 00:17:29,257
Speaker 1: outrageous and it's so bad. I say this. I know

384
00:17:29,337 --> 00:17:31,937
Speaker 1: it's easier said than you know, you can't prove it, right,

385
00:17:32,017 --> 00:17:34,897
Speaker 1: but if they were doing this to a Democrat, I'd

386
00:17:34,897 --> 00:17:36,817
Speaker 1: be like, guys, we can't do this. We we can't.

387
00:17:36,857 --> 00:17:41,657
Speaker 1: We can't have a republican administration overseeing effectively. I know

388
00:17:41,697 --> 00:17:45,057
Speaker 1: there's saying, oh, it's all separate, that's nonsense for criminal

389
00:17:45,097 --> 00:17:47,657
Speaker 1: indictments of their chief political opponent, like this is just

390
00:17:48,337 --> 00:17:50,937
Speaker 1: this is Honestly, if I was still in the CIA,

391
00:17:50,977 --> 00:17:52,817
Speaker 1: we'd be looking at some country doing this like how

392
00:17:52,857 --> 00:17:54,577
Speaker 1: long before the coup? You know what I mean. It's

393
00:17:54,657 --> 00:17:54,937
Speaker 1: not good.

394
00:17:55,097 --> 00:17:56,297
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I do.

395
00:17:56,337 --> 00:17:57,697
Speaker 2: Think it's our you know, we don't like to see

396
00:17:57,737 --> 00:18:00,697
Speaker 2: our former presidents prosecuted like this, especially on these kind

397
00:18:00,737 --> 00:18:03,017
Speaker 2: of things. I think it probably has outraged a lot

398
00:18:03,097 --> 00:18:07,097
Speaker 2: of people and and may backfire, you know on Democrats.

399
00:18:07,417 --> 00:18:09,137
Speaker 1: Do you ever go shooting? You a gun? Guy?

400
00:18:10,537 --> 00:18:10,777
Speaker 4: I have?

401
00:18:11,177 --> 00:18:13,217
Speaker 2: You know, I grew up my grandfather and my dad

402
00:18:13,337 --> 00:18:16,577
Speaker 2: were big duck hunters, and actually my grandfather even was

403
00:18:16,617 --> 00:18:18,257
Speaker 2: a bit of a deer hunter too, although I never

404
00:18:18,297 --> 00:18:19,697
Speaker 2: did that, but I did go duck hunting a lot

405
00:18:19,737 --> 00:18:22,017
Speaker 2: as a kid. So, you know, reading the blind and

406
00:18:22,097 --> 00:18:24,017
Speaker 2: then putting out the decoys in the dark of night,

407
00:18:24,057 --> 00:18:25,697
Speaker 2: waiting for the sun to come up in a freezing

408
00:18:25,777 --> 00:18:27,137
Speaker 2: February morning in New Jersey.

409
00:18:27,337 --> 00:18:28,937
Speaker 3: So you can do a lot of that as a kid.

410
00:18:28,977 --> 00:18:31,577
Speaker 1: It's been a while though, Well, I actually don't do much.

411
00:18:31,577 --> 00:18:33,977
Speaker 1: I don't do hunting, but I do like tactical training

412
00:18:34,017 --> 00:18:35,977
Speaker 1: and a range. And if you ever make your way

Speaker 2: Well, the next project is I haven't announced what it

441
00:19:58,257 --> 00:20:00,017
Speaker 2: is exactly, but I will tell you it's from that

442
00:20:00,097 --> 00:20:02,297
Speaker 2: same period of time. The Diesel Book is the quarter

443
00:20:02,377 --> 00:20:05,337
Speaker 2: century before World War One in Europe, and it's about

444
00:20:05,417 --> 00:20:08,137
Speaker 2: Rudolph Diesel, who invented diesel engine and he disappears in

445
00:20:08,177 --> 00:20:10,457
Speaker 2: the EVA World War One. Right if the diesel engine,

446
00:20:10,977 --> 00:20:12,737
Speaker 2: you know, head emergency the only way to operate a

447
00:20:12,817 --> 00:20:14,057
Speaker 2: submarine or a U boat.

448
00:20:14,137 --> 00:20:15,857
Speaker 3: So the Kaiser was very.

449
00:20:15,817 --> 00:20:18,697
Speaker 2: Interested in Rudolph Diesel, and he was still the sort

450
00:20:18,697 --> 00:20:20,817
Speaker 2: of main guy who could make a diesel engine work

451
00:20:20,857 --> 00:20:23,057
Speaker 2: for a U boat. He disappeared. There are all sorts

452
00:20:23,057 --> 00:20:26,137
Speaker 2: of murder theories about what happened to him. And I'm

453
00:20:26,177 --> 00:20:29,617
Speaker 2: staying that same time period and it'll be the same

454
00:20:29,737 --> 00:20:32,937
Speaker 2: kind of thing. It's things you don't know about people

455
00:20:33,097 --> 00:20:35,657
Speaker 2: you don't.

456
00:20:35,337 --> 00:20:38,737
Speaker 1: If you had to give somebody, if you had a

457
00:20:38,817 --> 00:20:40,937
Speaker 1: friend who was like, oh, I'm going on vacation for

465
00:21:01,657 --> 00:21:03,497
Speaker 1: a copy of The Mysterious Case of Rudolph Diesel.

466
00:21:03,777 --> 00:21:05,937

Speaker 2: best best book of the year, of course Diesel. Outside

468
00:21:09,577 --> 00:21:12,977
Speaker 2: of that, I would go back to an early book

469
00:21:13,057 --> 00:21:15,417
Speaker 2: by Barbara Tuckman. If you've got vacation, you don't want

470
00:21:15,457 --> 00:21:19,137
Speaker 2: a big doorstop, there's one called The Zimmerman Telegram.

471
00:21:18,777 --> 00:21:20,617
Speaker 1: By Barbara tuckle First World War.

472
00:21:22,377 --> 00:21:24,417
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it sort of gets to it wasn't the

473
00:21:24,497 --> 00:21:27,017
Speaker 2: Lustina so much that got us into the war. That

474
00:21:27,377 --> 00:21:28,977
Speaker 2: happened years before we got in it.

475
00:21:29,417 --> 00:21:31,337
Speaker 1: It was the Germans trying to get the Mexicans to

476
00:21:31,377 --> 00:21:33,017
Speaker 1: open up another front on our doorstep.

477
00:21:33,097 --> 00:21:35,017
Speaker 2: That's kind of a rough one, exactly right, Yeah, And

478
00:21:35,257 --> 00:21:39,377
Speaker 2: then British Intel intercepts it, and so rather than the

479
00:21:39,457 --> 00:21:42,177
Speaker 2: Germans getting Mexico to come after us and keep us

480
00:21:42,217 --> 00:21:44,417
Speaker 2: busy over on our hemisphere, we intercept this thing and

481
00:21:44,537 --> 00:21:47,337
Speaker 2: we jump in. So and she's just a beautiful writer,

482
00:21:48,137 --> 00:21:50,417
Speaker 2: and it's a great book and it's a fairly short

483
00:21:50,457 --> 00:21:53,057
Speaker 2: one I have on my shelf right here.

484
00:21:53,657 --> 00:21:54,977
Speaker 1: It is a bit of a doorstop, but I have

485
00:21:55,057 --> 00:21:56,857
Speaker 1: a distant mirror. I haven't read it.

Speaker 3: That's great, yeah, or fourteenth century, I can't remember. Yeah.
