Some 13 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: people say, I don't know why you guys still talk 14 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: about COVID, like there's some people out there who just 15 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: want to turn to page and pretend the last several 16 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 1: years didn't happen. It's because it's not over. I just 17 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: saw this headline during the break. They have canceled a 18 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: basketball game in the Big Ten Conference between Northwestern and 19 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: Iowa over. I'm over. I'm not sure what it's because 20 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: it's about basketball, But Clay right now is having a 21 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: little sip of tea, and I am furiously googling to 22 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: figure out what happened in the I know what the 23 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: Big ten is now because of Clay, and I am 24 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: filling the space and wait, oh, he's almost back. This happens, 25 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: This happened to me. When you do a live radio 26 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: sometimes you get this like attack of the tickle in 27 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: the throat. I would change topics, Clay, but I know 28 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: you want to come back to this big ten thing, 29 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: and it's COVID. Maybe I just got COVID there when 30 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: I was coughing. They're canceling a basket team in twenty 31 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: twenty three over a positive COVID test, which is absolutely crazy. 32 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: And I don't know how this ever officially ends. I 33 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: don't even know why you would be testing anyone or 34 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: COVID at this point in time, because most of you 35 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: out there would not go out and get tested for 36 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: the flu if you felt sick, and certainly you don't 37 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: get tested for a cold. What's going on ahead here? 38 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: If you had dinner plans with somebody. I mean, I 39 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: will say this honestly, because this has I'm at that 40 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: point where this has happened, and this has been going 41 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: on for a while. If someone says, hey, first of all, 42 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: no one I know is testing for COVID anymore anyway. 43 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: But even six months ago, if they said, hey, I 44 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: had to for some reason take a COVID test, it 45 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: actually came back positive. If I would ask them, then, 46 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: are you sick? You have like a lot of symptom. Yeah, right, 47 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: And if they said no, I feel okay, I'd be like, 48 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: all right, let's have dinner. I don't care because I'm 49 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: not worried about it. Because if somebody had a cold 50 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: but they weren't coughing and sniffling and likely highly viral, 51 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: you know, this is it's kind of crazy, Clay. We're 52 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: going back to the world that we lived in until 53 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, where, yeah, if you have the flu and 54 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: you feel like you were hit by a truck and 55 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: you're like hacking and coughing, you stay away from people. 56 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: But if you have a minor cole the tiny sniffle, 57 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: you know, you kind of roll the dice unless you're 58 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: around elderly people or there's some greater concern. Yeah, no, 59 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: you're one hundred percent right. And we've had that conversation 60 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: internally in our house, like, hey, somebody said they don't 61 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: feel that well. They got a COVID positive test, but 62 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: it feels like like a little cold. I'd be like, yeah, 63 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: let's go to dinner. Like, I have no issue with you. 64 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: I have done all, so I'll just add mean, you know, 65 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: I tell everybody what I'm doing, so they know what 66 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: perspective you and I are bringing to this. Yeah, I 67 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't even think twice about it. Now. A couple of 68 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: stories that I want to hit over the course of 69 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: this hour. Give you a heads up on them. This one, 70 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: I'm curious buck if you've paid attention to it because 71 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: it involves our good friend Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. 72 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: Meghan Markle in particular, this guy Jeremy Clarkson is about 73 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: to get canceled over his comments about Meghan Markle. And 74 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: then the other thing that I think is fascinating and 75 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: this is an actually serious story. We'll talk about this 76 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: a little bit later. China's population has begun to decline, 77 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: and so all of this talk about China as the 78 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: next world great superpower. I would argue that data is 79 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: reflecting that China may have more in common with Japan 80 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties than it does with the United 81 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: States in let's say the nineteen twenties or nineteen thirties, 82 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: as this nation began to take over the world. But 83 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: I want to talk about this Jeremy Clarkson thing because 84 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: he wrote a column. So if you don't know Jeremy Clarkson, 85 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: he is a what would you how would you describe him? 86 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: Like a British community He drives around in fancy cause 87 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: and says things that are witty in his British accents. 88 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: That's a good way of describing it. I mean, he 89 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: would be kind of a would you say, he's a 90 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: version of an older version, but kind of a version 91 00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: of the Oh, who's the guy who does all the 92 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: uh that's British that does the show that's always offending people? 93 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: Whose name is escaping me right now? He did the 94 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: Golden Globes a few years ago. Was absolutely Office. Yeah, yeah, 95 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: the original Office. Yeah. You know the guy put you 96 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: up y yes, all right, like kind of like a 97 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: Ricky Gervais. If you don't know this guy, so he right. 98 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: You have never watched top Gear the show, I've I've 99 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: never watched it. Oh, it's a It was like a 100 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: global phenomenon for a while I saw. Because my older 101 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: brother loves cars, I'm new cars as a conveyance, so 102 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: I just want them to be comfortable and quiet, Like 103 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: I don't care. My older brother if you told him 104 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: that he could get behind an F one car and 105 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: go two hundred miles an hour, it would be like 106 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: Christmas for him. So he introduced me to to top Gear. 107 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: But Clay, I bring it up just because it was 108 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: they started making like top gear for different countries. It 109 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: became a there was one in the US. It became 110 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: a huge show. That's That's like, I don't know what 111 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: percentage of our audience would know Jeremy Clark's in which 112 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: is Trump. Why I'm trying to like kind of put 113 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: a perspective of who he is. I think a lot 114 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: of you would recognize him. I don't know how many 115 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: of you would have watched him, but he's on these 116 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: super popular shows one that you just mentioned, and he's 117 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: got a show on Amazon Prime and they are preparing 118 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: it appears to cancel him because he wrote an article 119 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 1: about he's British, how much Meghan Markle drove him crazy, 120 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: And here are some quotes from it. He said that 121 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: everyone his age thinks the same about Meghan Markle, and 122 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: they want to see her publicly shamed. Here's what he 123 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: said in his column. I hate her, not like I 124 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: hate Nicolas Sturgeon or Rose West. I hate her on 125 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: a cellular level. By the way, I don't know who 126 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: either of those people are, Nicolas Sturgeon or Rose West. 127 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: At night, this is a quote from his column. I'm 128 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth 129 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade, 130 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: nay get through the streets of every town in Britain 131 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: while the crowd's chant shame and throw lumps of excrement 132 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: at her. This was an opinion piece in the Sun. 133 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: It's most opinion most complaints ever levied, they say, from 134 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: an opinion column run in the Sun. He then apologized. 135 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: He said, I really am sorry all the way from 136 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: the balls of my feet to the follicles in my head. 137 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: This is me putting my hands up. Megan Markle spokesperson 138 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: says a public apology has been issued. What remains to 139 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: be addressed is his longstanding pattern of writing articles that 140 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: spread hate, rhetoric, dangerous conspiracy theories, and misogyny. Unless each 141 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: of his other pieces were also written in a hurry. 142 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: It's clear he is This isn't an isolated incident. They're 143 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: basically trying to get him canceled now over this, and 144 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,119 Speaker 1: it's turned into a huge story, so less than one. 145 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: Never apologize if you say it, own it, especially if 146 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: you write it right. I think, what do you think 147 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: about the idea you heard? What was considered to be 148 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: the controversial things for people who do not watch Game 149 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: of Thrones? This is kind of a pretty strong reference 150 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: to what happened to Queen Searcy when she has to 151 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: walk down and people chant shame, shame, And that's probably 152 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: the most iconic example of something like this happening recently. 153 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: Cancel or not to cancel? What's going to happen with 154 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: Jeremy Clarkson? And what does it say about Meghan Markle 155 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: that she basically has claimed that she is powerless, but 156 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: now is trying to take down this incredibly powerful popular 157 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: British personality over his criticism of her. See, I can't 158 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: be somebody that's viewed in any ways as objective on 159 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: these matters, because not only do I think that Meghan 160 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: Markle to the degree that I am forced to read 161 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: about her, by the way, because if I don't, even 162 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: if I don't want to read about Megan Markle, there 163 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: will be headlines in whatever news site. I am trying 164 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: to read the news of the day. I'm trying to 165 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: get to things that matter, and there's you know, oh, 166 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: the latest you know, And I just I want to 167 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: beg everybody, not just in the UK, but around the world, 168 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: please stop clicking on these articles. It is a waste 169 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: of your brain space. It is a waste of your time. 170 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: The royal family in the UK just gonna say it, 171 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: waste of time. There have been some people emailing, by 172 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: the way that if I only understood the history of 173 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: monarchy in the UK more, I've seen a few of 174 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: those wrong. The monarchy is preposterous. People being born into 175 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: any role that an entire country is supposed to practically 176 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: worship and make them a head of state and head 177 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: of a church is an anachronism and an absurdity. The 178 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: fact that people have this Disneyland view of oh like 179 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: princes and princesses and kings and queens is ridiculous. We 180 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: fought a war so we never have to listen to 181 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: these people again, and yet here we are still talking 182 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: about it, so I just get fired up over it 183 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: should not. Harry's book is the fastest selling non fiction 184 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: book I believe in the history of his publisher, and 185 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: a ton of those people are buying it here in 186 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: the United States. I saw the data and I was like, 187 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: maybe this thing is gonna bomb. I think they sold 188 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: two million copies. They can't even keep it in stock anywhere. 189 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: I saw where people there's like four hundred people signed 190 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: up to get the library book. Have you seen like 191 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: the list I was reading the other day in some 192 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: of the American cities of how many people they're not 193 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: buying the book, but they're they're gonna wait eight years 194 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: to read it evidently, and you my faith in humanity here. 195 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: Uh this is this is really sad that people care 196 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: so much. I don't understand why they care at all. 197 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: These are trust fund babies who have nothing to teach 198 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: any of you. It is a total The Royal family 199 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: is a total waste of anyone's time, but particularly Americans. 200 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: I don't know why. Anywhere it's just all fantasyland. It's 201 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: all the disneylandification of the Royals and the whole thing. 202 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: It's it's absurd. Look, The Crown is a moderately entertaining show. 203 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: It's incredibly well made. I will give it that. But 204 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: that's that's pure entertainment, right. I'm not sitting there thinking 205 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: that this really matters people reading about this as news stories. 206 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: What the what was the Duchess of Essex or something? 207 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: What she called it? Sussex? Essex, one of those whatever, 208 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: it's irrelevant. It's irrelevant duchess is But so Jeremy Clarkson here, 209 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: call Megan Markle. What's her titles? Titles? Right? I think 210 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: she was the Duchess of Sussex. There we go. Yeah, 211 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, but I think they 212 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: again I know, wait, I'm obsessed. They stripped all the titles. 213 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: They don't have that anymore. But Jeremy Clarkson, who is 214 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: a super famous guy, if he just comes out and says, 215 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: you're getting a lot of criticism for your column where 216 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: admittedly you said you want her to have to walk 217 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: naked while getting you know, excrement thrown at her, what 218 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: do you have to say If he just said, yeah, 219 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: I hate her, I stick by my perspective on it. 220 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: Isn't he way better off? Yes? Then when he comes 221 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: out and says, I apologize from the tips of my 222 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,719 Speaker 1: toes to the I would say I would say this too. 223 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: I mean what he said, I think Megan Markle is 224 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: horrible from what I don't know her, but everything about 225 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: her that I see in public and what he says. 226 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: But what he said was, you know, it was gross. 227 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: It was there was a line and it was a 228 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: little it was over the line. It was gross. I mean, 229 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: I don't think he had to say it that way. 230 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: That's just my opinion, though. Yeah, do I think that 231 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: he should be, you know, kicked out television life and 232 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: stripped every show and everything. No, Look, we all know, 233 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: we all know that there is an additional layer of 234 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: sensitivity with regard to anything having to do with Megan Markle. 235 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: So that means, you know, because if this was a 236 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: different royal. The British have a long history actually of 237 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, saying, especially the tabloid newspapers, some pretty rough 238 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: stuff about their own monarchy. But with Megan Markle, it's 239 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: a special I think if he had just made that, hey, 240 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: I want her to have a Queen Cercy style walk 241 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: of shame from Game a Throne, he could have said 242 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: it in a way that would be totally What he 243 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: said was gross. I mean, he didn't have to go 244 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: to that point, but he was obviously trying to get 245 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: a rise out of people. Yeah, but so why not 246 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: just say, yeah, I meant it. I still hate her? Well, 247 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: I would if I were him, I'd say, look like 248 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: I mean it in the sense that I agree with 249 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: what I with a sentiment. But I could have worded 250 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: it a little differently. But to your point, Clay, the 251 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: moment you start to walk back at all with any 252 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: of this stuff, then the piranhas just come after you. 253 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: Right then it's just blood in the water. The people 254 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: who defend you will abandon you the moment you apologize, 255 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: and then you're just left out there floundering on your own. 256 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: When it's a written column, I think you just own 257 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: it and say, look, maybe I was more aggressive than 258 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: I should have been because I hate her so deeply, 259 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: But I stand by every word. Why. I mean, that's 260 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: what I would say if I were him, If you 261 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: stick by it. What is interesting about and I'm not 262 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: this is now on the on Prince Harry, What is 263 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: interesting about a trust fund? Baby? Second tier? You know, 264 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: monarchy and waiting who writes a book. I don't understand 265 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: why people care about this so much. I think that's 266 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: such an interesting question. I think I'll read this. I'll 267 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: give you my answer when we come back. But I've 268 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: thought about that quite a lot, because how do you 269 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: sell two million copies. It's one thing for people to 270 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: read things for free, right like, oh, this is in 271 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: front of me, I'm gonna pick it up and look 272 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: at it in a newspaper line or whatever. But to 273 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: spend twenty five bucks, that's you know, hundreds of millions 274 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: of dollars that people are going to give of their 275 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: own money to read this Prince Harry story. Why are 276 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: they doing that? Can I just tell you the good news? 277 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: I think real quick, I think there's good news from this. 278 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: I think he's going to bring about the I think 279 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: this whole thing is going to collapse within the next 280 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: two decades. I think people are gonna realize this is 281 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: so stupid that it's now They're gonna be like the 282 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: monarchs of Denmark and Greece or whatever. No one cares. 283 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: It's interesting companies passionate employees are that much more likely 284 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: to succes and earn massive loyalty from their clientele.

This is the fastest selling nonfiction book in 305 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: the history apparently of the United Kingdom. I am seeing here, Clay, 306 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: You and I sit across the table of this one. 307 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: We agree on a lot of things. This one, I 308 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: don't see it. Why does anyone care? I think that 309 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: so many people are invested in Prince Harry's story because 310 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: of Princess Diana. This is my theory on why people 311 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: are so obsessed with this. I would love to see 312 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: the demo on the people who are buying this book, 313 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: but I think it's overwhelmingly women. And I think it 314 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: is overwhelmingly women who loved Princess Diana, and they have 315 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: felt invested in Harry's life ever since they saw him 316 00:16:54,080 --> 00:17:00,119 Speaker 1: as this sad, bereaved, broken twelve year old boy walking 317 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 1: behind her hers back in nineteen ninety seven. So that 318 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: was one of the most watched television events ever in 319 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: the same way that everybody cared about JFK Junior and 320 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: his sister, but JFK Junior in particular because they saw 321 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: him walk out and salute his dad's casket back in 322 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties. I think people have felt invested in 323 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: his childhood and his young adulthood ever since. Then, and 324 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: that is the impetus behind why so many are buying 325 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: this book. You buy it, I think that's my theory. 326 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,719 Speaker 1: I'm not buying it, but I know that's my theory 327 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: on why this thing is selling. I think your theory 328 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: is correct. I'm just not going to add anything. It's 329 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: a fascinating thing. You're so disgusted by this, totally disgusted by. 330 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: It's a fascinating thing to renounce. To renounce your title 331 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: so you can have a private life where you're gonna 332 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: try to be as famous and rich as possible based 333 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: on your title.

Appreciate all 358 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. One of the major 359 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: geopolitical battles that we have been in the midst of 360 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: for really, I would say, the last decade, and it 361 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: has become in earnest over the last five years that 362 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: we've realized some of us realized it sooner than others. Oh, 363 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: those guys in China, Yeah, they're not really our friends. 364 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: They want to dominate, diminish, and destroy all legitimacy of 365 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,479 Speaker 1: the United States. That's the truth. And there's a lot 366 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: of people out there that still refuse to acknowledge that, 367 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: many of them in our corporate larger universe, because the Disneys, 368 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: the Nikes, the Hollywood Studios, all of these companies are 369 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: so reliant upon Apple the money that they make from China, 370 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: that they refuse to be willing to speak truth to power. 371 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: And so there's been this idea out there for some 372 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: time China may invade Tuan. China is clearly intent on 373 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: becoming the largest economy in the world, and they're going 374 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: to do it, and there's nothing in the United States 375 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: can do against it and buck Over the last year 376 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: or so, suddenly we've had I think a little bit 377 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: more reality sweep in as it pertains to China. First 378 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: of all, their economy reportedly, and again you have to 379 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 1: always kind of say reportedly, because these are Chinese numbers. 380 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: It's not as if they have independent media. They've been 381 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: cooking the books for thirty years, that's right. So they 382 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: say that their economy grew three percent, which probably means 383 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: it declined. Frankly, if they're saying it only grew three percent, 384 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: and they're admitting this is the first year that their 385 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: population has declined in over sixty years, which probably means 386 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: their population started declining five or six or eight years ago, 387 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: would be my guests. But they're now admitting that their 388 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: economy is growing slow and that their population has declined. 389 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: And if you look at the demographs going forward for China, 390 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: I think there is an argument to be made that 391 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,959 Speaker 1: China now is a lot like Japan in the nineteen 392 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: eighties that everybody looked around and said, oh my goodness, Japan, 393 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: if it keeps growing at this rate, is going to 394 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: be bigger than the United States. They're a threat. We 395 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: talked about this before that great Michael Crichton movie Rising Sun. 396 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: I read it in like the sixth grade. It's a 397 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: little racy. Oh yeah, I actually saw I was reading yesterday. 398 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: Remember the naked the woman who gets murdered and is naked, 399 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: and Rising Sun, the supermodel she just downside here she 400 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: was actually died. I just reading her obituary, I think 401 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: yesterday in either the Wall Street Journal of the New 402 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: York Times. She was one of the nineteen nineties era supermodels. 403 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: She was in the Rising Sun movie. She was the 404 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: woman who was killed early spoiler alert in the Rising Sun. 405 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: By the way, Buck, somebody sent me a message and said, 406 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 1: I was just planning on watching Gladiator and then you 407 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: spoiled it for me when we were talking about them. 408 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: No one. I have to say that is one of 409 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: the funniest if it weren't true, is one of the 410 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: funniest emails that I've ever seen, because it raises the 411 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,479 Speaker 1: question how long do you have to say spoiler alert? Right? Like, 412 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: certainly if the new Star Wars movie comes out, you 413 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: have an obligation to say spoiler alert, But like, what's 414 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,479 Speaker 1: the I think that by the end of this, if 415 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: it's a show, by the end of the season, no, 416 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: there's no more spoiler alerts. And I think if it's 417 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: a movie, by the end of the movie run in theaters, 418 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: no more spoiler alerts. I think I think we gotta 419 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: keep this tight. I don't think we could let this 420 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: drag on forever. You know, Yeah, you can't be saying, hey, 421 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: you know, spoiler alert, Darth Vader is Luke's father. You know. 422 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: I hope I didn't ruin Star Wars or people out 423 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: I knew what happened to Fredo before I saw a 424 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: Godfather Part two? Right, that's no one's fault, that's just 425 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: I came along later in life. Did you watch The 426 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: White LOADUS? Yet? I have the I have there's a 427 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: good god what White Loadus? Season two? Which I liked 428 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: better than whiteload of season one, although they're both like cringey, 429 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: but entertaining has a really good Godfather because it's said 430 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: in sicily like there's a good godfather interplay. Well, now 431 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: I probably will check it out. I will say I 432 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: watched the first episode of during Lockdown because I was 433 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: in New York City and it was a hellish and 434 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: there was nothing to do except eat, get fat, and 435 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: play video games and watch Netflix. That remembered they shut down, Gene, 436 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: I would have gone insane When I visited your apartment 437 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: and you were like, I did the show sitting right here. 438 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: I was like, I came back. I think I told 439 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: you then too, but I was like, I would have 440 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: gone completely insane if I was an expensive like living 441 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: in an apartment it was an expensive sell in midtown 442 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: Manhattan that I was dealing with that whole thing, and 443 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 1: because all of it, you couldn't go to the roof. 444 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: They shout, My building had a beautiful roof with views 445 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: of it. You've been to it, We've hung out for it. Yeah, 446 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: they shut down the roof. It's outside. They just shut 447 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: it down. Everything was shut down anyway. But I did 448 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: start playing video games, which I had given up for. 449 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: There are certain things in life that I you know, 450 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: I I may or may not have smoked a little 451 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: weed in college, gave it up so I could go 452 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: join the CI. Haven't touched it since. Like, there are 453 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: certain things that I've cut out of my life. I 454 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: cut video games out of them. There's anything. I think 455 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: video games in the right proportion can be a lot 456 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: of fun and a good way to distress. I'm not 457 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: I'm not down on video games, but I was spending 458 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: I was getting a little too good at like FIFA 459 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: and Call of Duty, and I was getting to the 460 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: point where, like I was talking smack twelve year olds 461 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: on the other side of the world, random people, like 462 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: like you were playing not against the computer, but random people. 463 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, And you know occasionally you tell you know, 464 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: people talk smack to me. I would talk smack back. 465 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, I probably don't you know this person. I 466 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: don't know if they're they're forty or twelve. Real really 467 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: funny to think about you talking trash with like twelve 468 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: year old kids during FIFA soccer mat. You may or 469 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: may not have one of those headsets on too. We 470 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: don't have to go there right now in detail. Good 471 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: point being I started playing this game called The Last 472 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: of Us, which all the show just came out. Yeah, 473 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: the show, that's why, That's what I'm thinking of. I 474 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: actually watched, and this is there are the shows that 475 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: I tell Carrie. I'm like, I just make a little 476 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: separate bucket. I'm like, you will hate this. I will 477 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: watch this without you. And that was as soon as 478 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: she goes what's it about? I was like, post apocalyptic 479 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: future zombies based on a fungus. She was like, I 480 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: literally she cares about that as much as I care 481 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: about the British royal family. Um, but it's it's by 482 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: by the directed by the guy who did Chernobyl, which 483 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: I thought was even with it. There was good, really 484 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: well done. There are a few issues with it, but 485 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: it's really well done. And I will say I have 486 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: I can't think of a video game that has been 487 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: made into a good series before this. So far, the 488 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: first episode was pretty good, pretty solid. I saw that 489 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,239 Speaker 1: five million people watched it. I knew nothing about it 490 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: other than I read that it was a video game. 491 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: I haven't. I didn't know that, So I'm not I'm 492 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: not like a weirdo all all alone here. There are 493 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 1: others who like it. It's got a very Walking Dead 494 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: vibe to it. So if you like The Walking Dead, 495 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: you will like The Last of Us. No, it did 496 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: really well, and so the sun angle tying all this 497 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: back in I wonder buck based on the China saying 498 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: they only grew at three percent, and we've been talking 499 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: about whether they're gonna invade Taiwan. And also now the 500 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: population declining India is set to become, if it hasn't 501 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: already the largest population in the world of any country. 502 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: How much of China and all of their cockiness and 503 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:31,479 Speaker 1: their bristling is actually fake, you know, sort of like uh, 504 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: drunk muscles that you you know somebody you're muscle a 505 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: big game beer muscles. And in reality, if you look 506 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: behind the scenes, China is actually every single day becoming 507 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: weaker now. So so there's it's interesting and I know 508 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: there was this guy who had been at stratfor who 509 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: just did a big podcast. Well he did Joe Rogan's podcast, 510 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: but it's getting a lot of attention. Have you seen 511 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: this guy and his whole I'm not leaving his name 512 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: out on purpose, I just forget, but he'd been at 513 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 1: four Analysts and his thing is China is like, we're 514 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: all worried about China. And he says that I think 515 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: he overstates the case of just personally of how weak 516 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: China is at this point, but there is that there's 517 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 1: an interesting argument that China is, which is what you 518 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 1: and I are talking about now, on a downward trajectory 519 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: a lot of ways, and it is because of a 520 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: couple of things that people don't often think about, but 521 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 1: if you look at it with a macrohistorical perspective, are 522 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: incredibly important demographics and geography. The demographics of China are 523 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: it has far too many males. Yep. The chin was 524 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: a disaster, absolutely disastrous. And China has a number of 525 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: states the literal L I T T O R A 526 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: L right literal states, the Philippines, Japan, the Korean peninsula 527 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 1: that hammeted on one side, and India too obviously it's 528 00:27:55,400 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: it's southwest and Russia to its north. So geographically and 529 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: demographically there's a lot of pressure on China. And if 530 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: anyone there's a book, The Revenge of Geography by Kaplan 531 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: that I highly recommend. It sounds boring, it's actually fascinating. 532 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: Like the title sounds boring, but it's really really good. 533 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: China could have a lot of big problems ahead of it. 534 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 1: But then you get into is China I think China does. 535 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: By the way, is it more dangerous on decline in 536 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,719 Speaker 1: decline right in the short term in the next ten 537 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: or fifteen years, is that when they, because of the 538 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: beer muscle theory, decide that they're going to try to 539 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: show that they're stronger, they're actually weak. They're trying to 540 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: pretend to be. I want I want Clay to give 541 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations or maybe 542 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: a Davos which is going on right now, on the 543 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: beer muscles theory of Chinese relations because I think, you know, 544 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: China Taiwan relations. I think it could be worthwhile. I 545 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: think it could be something to keep an eye on 546 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: that if we could get through the next ten or 547 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: fifteen years that they are actually in significant decline and 548 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: if you want to draw that historical analogy, which is 549 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: why we were mentioning the Rising Sun for people who 550 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: don't remember it. Even the great movie Diehard Buck in 551 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: the late eighties, Remember that was a Japanese company. Japan 552 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: was this financial and technological power that there. There were 553 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: real people were concerned that Japan was going to just 554 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: buy up and control the United that's rights, and they 555 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: kept saying, hey, if you don't want Japan to buy it, 556 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: don't put it for sale, right, I mean, they were 557 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: buying up all these incredible American assets and then basically 558 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: they've collapsed. Their demographics as destiny. They are aging faster 559 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: than almost any country in the world. They're also not 560 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: having children. Did you read Tom Clancy Debt of Honor 561 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: of one of the Clancy Grades. Clancy and Crichton were 562 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: the two authors who were made me think at a 563 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: young age, I like, you know, I like books for fun, right, yes, 564 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: fourth fifth grade. They were the two that I was like, oh, 565 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: this is awesome, you know, I got really into it. 566 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: And Debt of Honor is about Japan going nuclear and 567 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: essentially recreating some aspects of you know, imperial Japan from 568 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: the Second World War with seizing US territories like Guam 569 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: and for everyone, it does end spoiler alert, although that 570 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: was from twenty some odd years ago. It ends with 571 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: some guy riding a plane right into a joint session 572 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: of Congress and essentially decapitating the entire US government That 573 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: was before nine to eleven, by the way, that was 574 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: written in the nineties. Yes, So I just want everybody 575 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: out there to be thinking about that as we get 576 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: engage in this battle with China. How much of China's 577 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: public posturing is false bluster based on the real data 578 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: that they are seeing behind the scenes of their economy 579 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: collapsing and the demographics not being good, And how much 580 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: of that tied in with their sudden abandonment buck of 581 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: their COVID strategy, which the Faucies of the world based 582 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: our entire COVID strategy on. Just something to think about 583 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: in a big picture ways.

So Clan and I talked yesterday about the 603 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: MLK sculpture that was unveiled at the Weak Again. It 604 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: was MLK Day yesterday and we shared our thoughts are 605 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: artistic opinion on this purely on the aesthetics of it all. 606 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: We were not alone. A lot of people out there 607 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: thought to themselves. You seeing what I'm seeing, because what 608 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: I'm seeing is not a thing that you would expect 609 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: to see in a ten million dollars sculpture. Just saying. 610 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: And the artists. Hank Willis Thomas has now spoken out 611 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: about this new MLK statue in Boston, and here's his 612 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: take on the takes out there. Play you put out 613 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: in the world. You can't control what people see, you know. 614 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: I think about the Rorshak test that inclot tests you 615 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: know what you see says a lot about what you 616 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: see about the world. There are no plans to modify 617 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: or change it. No, what'd you do that? I fast? 618 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: I mean by who? Because this is a piece that 619 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: was selected by the people of Boston. This is not 620 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: a Hank just came and put something. Thousands of people 621 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: worked on this, thousands of people actually put it together, 622 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: and no one saw this, I would say, perverse perspective, 623 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: and I mean to bring that to the king's legacy 624 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: and to dictate the making of art and the celebration 625 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: of them, that's really strange for me. Um, everybody that 626 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: I know saw it right away. I'm just gonna say, 627 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who looked at it Now, to 628 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: be fair, there are different angles, but at a certain 629 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: angle you look at this statue and you go, that's 630 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: not what the statue should look like. Look, I don't 631 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time looking for penises and artwork, Like, 632 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: I don't think this is a problem that I regularly have. Like, 633 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: we're getting very freud on the show. Now we're well, 634 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,479 Speaker 1: I mean, ego, super ego all done? Do you remember 635 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: the great shows, super great movie super Bad? We need 636 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: to pull that audio where Jonah Hills. This is one 637 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: of the funniest comedies I think of the early two thousands. 638 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: But Jonah Hills character is like it's totally normal to 639 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: draw penises, like like something like that. There's a great 640 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: scene where like So he had this character a habit 641 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: of just drawing penises all the time in classrooms, and 642 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: he got trouble for it when he was in high school. 643 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: I think, I don't think that every single person who 644 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: was seeing a gigantic penis in the Martin Luther King 645 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: sculpture in Boston is seeing them in every single piece 646 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: of artwork that they do now. I also agree with 647 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: this artist. Once it's up, I don't think you can modify, 648 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: not look there there is I'm gonna go I'm gonna 649 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: go a little four dhs here for a second. This 650 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: is now the most famous sculpture in America that everybody 651 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: is talking about. I'm just throwing this out there, you know, 652 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: because it you know, with them. I don't think it 653 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: was intentional, I'll say that, but I do think because 654 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: of the breuhaha around this, people are looking at it 655 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: and they're saying, oh, interesting, I know about this statue now, 656 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: So at least at that level it it works. But 657 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: you know, as Freud allegedly but actually did not say, 658 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. You know. Sometimes 659 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: artwork people view it a certain way because that's what's there, 660 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: or that's their perspective on it. I would also say, 661 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: because I was talking about this yesterday, how did people 662 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: not see this when it was modeled? I think probably 663 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: the model didn't have the sense of like the statu 664 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: let me just get taken away from something that everybody 665 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,919 Speaker 1: would know. The Statue of Liberty, if you just saw 666 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: a small model of it is impressive. But it's the 667 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 1: majesty of the Statue of Liberty that makes it really 668 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: an edifust that people remember right, Like, if the Statue 669 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: of Liberty were only fifteen feet tall, it would not 670 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: be iconic. Right. It's the fact that it's two hundred 671 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: feet tall or whatever the heck the Statue of Liberty 672 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: is that makes it that way. I wonder how much 673 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 1: of seeing this sculpture when it was a model and 674 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,479 Speaker 1: you're looking at it thinking, oh, okay, like you're gonna 675 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 1: be able to see it all at once. The difference 676 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,320 Speaker 1: is when you see something that is that substantial this model, 677 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: it looks totally different on that size that it would 678 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: have in the model, and they didn't really know what 679 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: it was going to look like until it was actually unveiled. 680 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 1: It was It's quite a sculpture, I'll say. I'll say 681 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 1: that it is quite a sculpture for sure, Clay. There's 682 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: a descentis NHL situation that I was hoping you would. 683 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: I saw this playing a bit about in the next 684 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: hour we could talk about it. And there's also a 685 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:29,439 Speaker 1: lot of people weighing in on Tom Brady's future. So 686 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: there's watch one second of the NFL playoffs over the weekend. 687 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 1: I did not six games. You didn't see a second 688 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: of it, not a second, not a single second, I 689 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: was very deep in a book on thought reform and 690 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 1: psychology of totalism in Maoist China. However, which was this 691 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: that point. It's not on my list.
