1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,160
Well, China did engineer the biggest
real estate bubble and human history, and

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,560
they haven't fixed that or anything.
They've just been kind of paypering it over.

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,640
And you know, there's really no
way to fix something. I mean,

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:17,679
in Japan tried to fix THEIRS with
government spending plan after government spending plan,

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,920
but since the nineteen nineties they have
been hobbled by their real estate bubble,

6
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:26,600
and China's kind of got the same
thing going, except it doesn't have

7
00:00:26,679 --> 00:00:30,960
the advantages that Japan had back then
to allow it to just keep kicking that

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,439
can down the road, So they're
going to have to deal with it pretty

9
00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:38,520
soon. You're listening to Carrie Let's

14
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,439
I'm your host, Kerry Lutz.
Well, it's been quite a week.

15
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:15,439
The economy just doing fine, even
while Europe is slipping into recession.

16
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:21,959
John Right yeah, and it kind
of happened by the back door because they

17
00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:27,239
revised past couple of months data,
and that's what put Europe in recession.

18
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:33,680
The revisions, Yeah, retroactive recession
or recession. Yeah, so they're they're

19
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:38,840
technically in recession, which you know, gives the ECB a little bit of

20
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:47,359
leeway even though inflation is way above
DCB's target. If the EU is in

21
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,159
recession, maybe that that gives them
their excuse to at least stop tightening and

22
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,799
maybe go back to using We'll see, But I think the US is maybe

23
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:00,799
our recession or our revisions will put
us in recession here right now because we've

24
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:04,319
got a lot of weak numbers and
some not so weak numbers, so it's

25
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,039
kind of a mix. But maybe
a lot of the strong numbers have to

26
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:15,599
be taken away in the next couple
of months and then we'll see. Well

27
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:17,319
look, I mean, honestly,
if you look at the real rate of

28
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:24,919
growth over the past two years,
it hasn't existed. So therefore all apparent

29
00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:32,120
growth is generated by inflation deflator by
it being incorrect. So when you really

30
00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:36,080
look at it, Yeah, they
could just up the inflation rate for the

31
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,000
past two years because nobody cares because
that's in the past, we would be

32
00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:44,520
in a recession and then we're ready
to get out of it now, I

33
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,199
guess. Yeah, And when we
were talking about recession before, I was

34
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:53,280
talking about official recession where they admit
it. But yeah, you so many

35
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:59,719
of these numbers are so bogus or
so open to revision, because that's kind

36
00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:01,639
of the their strategy now, at
least in the US. I'm not sure

37
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,719
it's done that way in other countries, but maybe, but the US will

38
00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:10,159
put out a super favorable number and
then revise it away over the next couple

39
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:15,319
of quarters or months or depending on
the interval for the number, but nobody

40
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,159
sees the revisions. So all anybody
sees is the super positive headline number,

41
00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:27,719
and they're using that as a way
to manage perceptions even as things get worse

42
00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:30,919
and worse. So, you know, I'm sticking with my prediction that we're

43
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,879
in recession by year end and that
six months after that the fet is back

44
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:38,639
to actively easy. So we'll see. But you know, I don't think

45
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,319
it's really hard a hard gat from
here. You know, we could easily

46
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:49,159
tip over, and yeah, it's
just a question of when the feed is

47
00:03:49,199 --> 00:03:53,120
going to pivot. People say they're
not going to and they're just gonna keep

48
00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:59,919
raising rates. But look, housing
is in the gutter, jobless claims are

49
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:02,759
up, all of these things that
we're supposed to figure out, and then

50
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:09,159
if you look at China's exports and
their imports, they're down the drain.

51
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:14,439
I don't see how you can ever
recession in China without the rest of the

52
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:16,399
world feeling it. At this point, John, we'll see the way it

53
00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:19,000
always works. If you go back
to, for instance, nineteen nine,

54
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:24,519
two thousand or two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, the Fed

55
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,920
titans, and it continues to tighten
until the financial markets break because it has

56
00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:32,079
no other way of knowing, you
know, whether it should still be tightening

57
00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:34,759
or not. It just watches the
financial markets, and when they break,

58
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,240
then it knows it's time to go
back to easing. And so the same

59
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,439
thing is happening now. The Fed
is just raising interest rates and raising interest

60
00:04:43,519 --> 00:04:46,600
rates, even though they say they're
going to stop this month, but they're

61
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:50,480
gonna pause this month, they'll go
back to raising again pretty soon, and

62
00:04:50,519 --> 00:04:56,079
they'll do that until something serious breaks. And there's a long list of things

63
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,040
that can break here going forward,
I mean housing and commercial realists and cars.

64
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,399
And you saw the student loan thing
right where they're going to go back

65
00:05:04,439 --> 00:05:10,759
to making student loans payable now after
two years of being free money. And

66
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:14,720
you know, a lot of the
people who have student loans are the same

67
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,560
people that are maxing out their credit
cards to pay day to day expenses.

68
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:24,439
So now dump of three or four
hundred dollar bill for student loans on top

69
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,920
of that life and a lot of
people are going to start defaulding on their

70
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:33,439
credit cards or their mortgages or their
car loans or whatever, and boom,

71
00:05:33,439 --> 00:05:36,000
we're in recession when that happens.
So it could be that we're going to

72
00:05:36,079 --> 00:05:43,319
look back on the student loan thing
as the trigger or the next recession.

73
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,319
So not that it has to be, because there are lots of other things

74
00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:49,040
that can go wrong, but that
could easily be one because that'll hit consumer

75
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,639
spending very hard, and it'll hit
credit card debt. It will make credit

76
00:05:55,639 --> 00:06:00,240
card debt go up even further.
So it's completely possible that we're already seeing

77
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,600
the pieces being put into place that
will cause the next recession. You know,

78
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:10,399
it's amazing that every day I still
get credit card offers at the same

79
00:06:10,439 --> 00:06:14,279
time, while the whole thing's imploding. I guess the number. Not that

80
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,399
my credits are esteem are perfect,
but I have nothing bad on it.

81
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:26,360
They're still offering credit consumer credit to
quote unquote worthy consumers. Yeah, they

82
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,439
don't even like us because we don't
pay late fees or carry balances. The

83
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:38,720
credit card companies make most of their
money from balance interest and from late fees,

84
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,480
and you know the groups of people
who pay those things tend to be

85
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,360
the most disadvantaged. You know,
there's the people who are so ignorant they

86
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,879
don't know how credit cards work,
or who are in such tough straits that

87
00:06:49,879 --> 00:06:55,360
they have no choice but to carry
a balance even though it charges from twenty

88
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,839
three percent a month interest, or
generate a bunch of late fees because there

89
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,560
are some months when they just can't
pay anything. So credit card companies are

90
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,839
you know, they're one step away
from loan sharks. They are criminal enterprises.

91
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,040
Let me just say that out loud. But they don't like us,

92
00:07:12,079 --> 00:07:14,319
you know, they don't like people
who pay, who are boring, who

93
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:17,319
pay their balances off every month.
Yeah, we don't. We don't make

94
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:23,560
anything for them. They're they're actively
hoping that they can trick us into high

95
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,800
enough balances that we pop into that
other category of people who have to carry

96
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,120
the balance and generate LAFE fees and
stuff like that. So when when they

97
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:32,639
offer you a new credit card,
carry, that's what they're trying to do.

98
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:38,199
They're trying to take you above your
manageable limit. And you know,

99
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,920
what I'm getting is a bunch of
balance transfer offers. So we'll only charge

100
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,800
three percent if you, you know, and no, thanks, I don't

101
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:54,879
want to play. But but yeah, And to the extent that they're they're

102
00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:59,040
extending more credit to people in those
other categories, or they're pushing more people

103
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,319
in our categories into those other categories. Credit cards are going to be one

104
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,680
of the big problems in the next
recession because you know, there's always already

105
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:11,319
a trillion dollars a credit card debt, so that's going to explode pretty soon.

106
00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:15,600
And you would think the credit card
companies wouldn't like that and would actively

107
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:16,839
try to get out of it because
then default spike. You know, they

108
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:20,920
lose a lot of money in a
recession because the people they've been feasting on

109
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,959
just say screw it, I'm not
paying these credit cards off, you know,

110
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,079
and take me to court. What
are you going to do? I

111
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:31,440
have nothing? Yeah, I already
have a rotten credit score. Well yeah,

112
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:37,879
you know it's funny because yeah,
they just want to get your hooked

113
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:41,759
one easy credit and then eventually you'll
be paying thirty percent. That's like the

114
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:48,039
rate now on carrying a credit card
balance. Because of the vagaries of our

115
00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:56,559
gap generally accepted accounting principles. It's
like they reserve for the default up front,

116
00:08:56,639 --> 00:09:01,279
so they actually get to reduce their
profits anyway, so less taxable profits,

117
00:09:01,919 --> 00:09:05,000
and then when things are bad,
they just bump it up a couple

118
00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:11,480
of points, but they're still making
money on it. And you know,

119
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:13,879
I was in this world for a
long time. Well, in the meantime,

120
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,720
something's going on in China. They
know a gold buying is up there.

121
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,399
If you watch the videos, and
you know, I think that there's

122
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:30,279
the equivalent of Radio Free Europe in
Radio Free Asia on YouTube. A lot

123
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:35,320
of these channels seem to be like
ultra nationalist, you know, hate China

124
00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:39,519
channels, but there's enough truth in
them to see that something very bad is

125
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:46,240
happening in China now. Massive youth
unemployment, massive defaults. They're on a

126
00:09:46,639 --> 00:09:52,720
mortgage strike four million people. It's
like the global economy when it broke.

127
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,360
It really broke for China because they're
just getting you know, unemployment is way

128
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,720
up. They think they have a
thirty percent youth unemployment rate. And these

129
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:07,679
people are like living in these hovels
so they don't have to pay rent.

130
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,399
I mean, something is happening there
that's really bad, John, that we

131
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,639
don't even appreciate over here. Well, China did engineer the biggest real estate

132
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,559
bubble and human history, and they
haven't fixed that or anything. They've just

133
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,960
been kind of pay perm it over
and you know, there's really no way

134
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,240
to fix something. I mean,
in Japan tried to fix theirs with you

135
00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:33,360
know, government spending plan after government
spending plan. But since the nineteen nineties

136
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:37,600
they have been hobbled by their real
estate bubble, and China's kind of got

137
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:41,919
the same thing going, except it
doesn't have the advantages that Japan had back

138
00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:46,279
then to allow it to just keep
kicking that can down their own. So

139
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,679
they're going to have to deal with
it pretty soon. And you know,

140
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,279
it's not clear how you deal with
something like that, because, like you

141
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:58,000
said, there are millions of people
who already can't pay their mortgages, millions

142
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:03,639
more who are living in human conditions, and that they haven't even had the

143
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:09,960
actual crisis yet. There's still a
lot of ghost cities out there and empty

144
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:16,679
buildings and people who have bought apartments
but the apartments aren't even being built anymore.

145
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,279
So people, somebody gets screwed somehow. They're right, you know,

146
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,799
somebody has to eat that loss.
And it almost doesn't matter who eats the

147
00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:28,519
loss because it has the same general
effect on the economy. It's somebody who

148
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,720
can't pay their bills. Going forward, the people eat the losses will be

149
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:35,639
the ones who are least able to
afford it, just like in the United

150
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,519
States. And maybe we're missing the
boat. Maybe we should be setting up

151
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:46,840
a resolution trust company in China to
buy all these snap up all these defaulted

152
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:52,360
mortgages and just wait for it to
turn around or is it never going to

153
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,799
turn around? There that question?
We don't want those mortgages. Yeah,

154
00:11:56,919 --> 00:12:01,679
Now that your dath would be a
logistical nightmare to try to make sense out

155
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,840
of what's coming there. Um,
but you know, we got another kind

156
00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:09,799
of nightmare with commercial real estate here. There are a lot of buildings that

157
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,120
are semi empty and are going to
have to be sold for half of their

158
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,120
original price, and somebody has to
eat those losses. It's not it's not

159
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,080
clear ahead of time who's going to
eat the bulk of those losses, but

160
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:28,159
it could be banks, could be
hedge funds, pensine funds, insurance companies.

161
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,679
Yeah, all the bond holders,
you know, the real estate bonds,

162
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:37,000
the mortgage backed security bonds on the
cr bonds. Um. You know,

163
00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:41,440
it's not clear, um who who
has to suffer the bulk of this,

164
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,440
but it's probable that five or six
different categories of big financial entities are

165
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:52,159
really going to get smacked by this. And it's coming pretty quickly now,

166
00:12:52,279 --> 00:12:56,360
you know. It's that whole bust
is accelerating. So I think that's a

167
00:12:56,399 --> 00:13:00,399
second half of the year story that's
going to have some hair raising numbers.

168
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:05,759
You you should, if you don't
already, interview Will Richter because couple weeks

169
00:13:05,759 --> 00:13:13,480
ago, okay, because San Francisco, like the biggest hotel company there,

170
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,039
just did some jingle mill and sent
the keys to their hotels to their lenders,

171
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:26,000
and they say that the office buildings
are are trading at a seventy percent

172
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:31,120
haircut. I was in Manhattan the
past week, and look, there's tons

173
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,120
of construction, so there's always traffic
in Manhattan, but really it's empty like

174
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,679
used to be. You'd walk out
at lunchtime and there'd be like tons and

175
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,679
tons of people milling about. I
don't know if they're scared of getting mugged

176
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,279
and they just don't go out of
their office till they have to leave.

177
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:52,039
But I'm telling you that place is
you can't call it a ghost town,

178
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,879
but it's definitely a bit spooky there. So carry you were just in Manhattan,

179
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,519
right, yeah. And it's smoky
when you were there too, So

180
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,559
it was it like a zombie apocalypse
with empty streets and smoke everywhere. And

181
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,559
you know, I didn't stay up
on the news. And I'm on the

182
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:13,919
airplane and LaGuardia looking out and it's
this white all around, and the person

183
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,720
says to me, look at that, and said, yeah, so that's

184
00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:20,960
from the fires up in the Quebec
in Canada. Because we got out just

185
00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:24,200
in time, they closed the airports
for a day or two. Next day,

186
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,200
I think there's Luguardia is still closed. But Kennedy and Newark were supposedly

187
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:33,399
open, but it was like some
white Yeah, you never saw anything like

188
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,960
it. I mean it was pretty
shocking. Se See, you guys on

189
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,240
the East Coast, you have your
problems, you know, but that's not

190
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:43,159
supposed to be one of them.
That's supposed to be our problem over on

191
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,519
the west, on the West coast, because we you know, we lose

192
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:50,600
like August every year now because it's
just we're blanketed in snow or in smoke.

193
00:14:50,799 --> 00:14:56,000
But that's as new for you.
Yeah, hopefully it's not a regular

194
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:01,080
thing. Yeah, well, it
happened about fifteen years ago, but not

195
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,559
this bad. I don't remember it
being this bad. But you know,

196
00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:09,240
I couldn't figure out why my sinuses
were like in total rebellion, you know,

197
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,120
when it was. I came back
on Tuesday instead of Wednesday, but

198
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,360
my sinuses were a mess. I'm
like, what's going on. It must

199
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,519
be some kind of allergy or something
as an allergy to smoke. But the

200
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:26,679
Tesla has got biodefense mode. So
if you're going around in your tesla,

201
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:30,519
maybe have to live in your tesla
for a week or two, you're going

202
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,799
to be okay because it's got the
Heppa filter and biodefense mode. So even

203
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:41,639
if they if they do some biowarfare
while they're at it, you'll be okay.

204
00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:43,480
So you can just go out and
sleep in your car. The smoke,

205
00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:46,320
yeah, goes all the way down
the east coast of Florida. Okay,

206
00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:50,720
yeah, yeah, it's funny.
My wife saw that. She's got

207
00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:52,639
a lot of chemical sensitivities and stuff, so this is this is a real

208
00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:56,919
thing for her. And she saw
that in the Tesla pickup truck and we

209
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,679
had to have a long talk.
I had to actively talk out of not

210
00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:03,120
going out and buying a Tesla pickock
truck because she was envisioning getting into the

211
00:16:03,159 --> 00:16:08,480
bed and closing that steel door and
turning on the fielder. You know.

212
00:16:08,559 --> 00:16:15,639
Combine combine that with bulletproof windows and
I'm just about sold. And bulletproof door

213
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:21,720
panels, you know, arden stainless
rolled, stainless steel that'll stop forty five

214
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,080
caliber bullets from entering the cabin.
So, hey, did you catch this

215
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:33,200
article? Twenty nine percent of young
Americans are okay with government surveillance devices in

216
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:37,080
the home. Now, this is
nineteen eighty four. Remember the screen in

217
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,960
nineteen eighty four and they monitored everything, and the thought police and everything else.

218
00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:45,600
I mean, where did these kids
go to school? And I mean

219
00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:49,399
it's it's nuts. Yeah, this
is truly terrifying because these guys, well,

220
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,879
you know, part of it is, like you said, where they

221
00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:56,120
go to school? Because I think
there's not a fundamental understanding of the First

222
00:16:56,159 --> 00:17:03,120
Amendment and a limited government and what
dictatorship truly means. Or you know,

223
00:17:03,159 --> 00:17:06,799
let's say it's twenty two year old
who has no sense of history, couldn't

224
00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:10,759
couldn't find two different countries on a
map, and they think, well,

225
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:14,200
you know, what the hell,
let's have the government spy on those other

226
00:17:14,279 --> 00:17:17,680
people's homes to keep them from doing
bad things. You know, they don't,

227
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,119
they don't realize that that that will
come back to bite them at some

228
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,119
point. But you know, one
other way looking at this is that every

229
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,440
generation of kids has to find a
way to freak its parents out, in

230
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,839
other words, too, to make
that dividing line between you and my parents.

231
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,440
It's working. It's working. You
know, half of them are trans

232
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,279
and the other half are fascists.
It's uh. And there's a vend diagram

233
00:17:37,279 --> 00:17:41,400
where some of them are both brands
and fascists now, So yeah, it's

234
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:47,559
there's absolutely succeeding and freaking their parents
out. Oh my goodness. Well,

235
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:55,039
I had a great discussion with my
son in law where basically, without getting

236
00:17:55,039 --> 00:17:57,880
too into it, I think you're
allowed to say stuff now about baxing and

237
00:17:59,039 --> 00:18:06,519
COVID and elections. But basically he
said that I was right about everything about

238
00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:11,599
the health issues we had for the
past couple of years, and he himself

239
00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:17,920
had had an ailment for over a
year that he couldn't say for sure that

240
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,079
it was from the vax or whatever, but he felt pretty confident and he

241
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,759
was grateful that his kids didn't have
to get it. So there is hope,

242
00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:33,039
and don't give up hope on this
generation yet because he was really like

243
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:37,599
a woke person two three years ago
and now all of a sudden he gets

244
00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:41,920
it. And this guy has got
an IQ way higher, at least thirty

245
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:47,319
points higher than mine, and he
brought into it all but no more.

246
00:18:48,079 --> 00:18:55,319
Well, IQ was inversely related to
attitude on vaccines here, so no surprise

247
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,920
that you're the smartest kid in your
family was the most pro vaccine, but

248
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,319
too things about the first carry.
Congratulations, you have moved into the next

249
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,720
stage of parenting where your kids come
back and say, dude, you were

250
00:19:07,759 --> 00:19:11,359
right. I'm still I'm still waiting
for that. It's amazing how much,

251
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:17,119
you know, from the time I
was seventeen to the time I was twenty

252
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:23,119
five. Was amazing how much my
parents learned in eight years. But you

253
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,519
know, okay, the second thing
I want to say about this is that

254
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,359
you know a lot of kids now
they think what they think because they've never

255
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:36,079
had to consider survival as the thing
they had to actually go out and make

256
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,279
happen. You know, They've never
had to deal with real hardship. And

257
00:19:38,319 --> 00:19:42,839
in the next few years, hardship
is going to be the you know our

258
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:48,000
middle names. Things are going to
be much much tougher, and you won't

259
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:55,240
see nearly as many kids or obsessing
about the ideas that they obsess about now,

260
00:19:55,799 --> 00:19:59,160
because they're going to be obsessing about
where's my next meal coming from?

261
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,559
You know, that's the you know, major financial crises are not something you

262
00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:07,839
should look forward to, but that
is the one upside is that it educates

263
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,039
ignorant people very quickly about the important
things in life. Yeah, it's my

264
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,720
next meal is coming from my food
stamp allocation of course, my EBT card,

265
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,160
you know, goes on EBT cards. Everyone knows that, so we'd

266
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:26,799
be remiss. We're talking about RFK
Junior prequel and Tucker Carlson, and the

267
00:20:26,839 --> 00:20:30,960
two of them kind of have like
an alliance almost now. Tucker Carlson storm

268
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:37,319
Twitter, and I think that's the
death knell of Fox because they're trying to

269
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,279
say he breached his contract. You
know, they've already lost half their audience,

270
00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:45,319
two thirds of the paying audience twenty
five to fifty four. If they

271
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,839
sue Tucker Carlson. How many people
are going to be left watching this station?

272
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:56,799
Yeah, so this is a illustration
of how big Tucker Carlson is.

273
00:20:56,839 --> 00:21:02,880
He posts a video on Twitter her
okay, which isn't even a place where

274
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,200
people normally post and minute videos,
and it it's what is it now,

275
00:21:07,319 --> 00:21:14,279
seventy million views or something like that's
something that dwarfs. Yeah, MSNBC,

276
00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:21,400
CNN and Fox did not have one
tenth combined. It didn't have one tenth

277
00:21:21,559 --> 00:21:27,680
of Tucker Carlson's viewership from a Twitter
video. Yeah. And you know the

278
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,880
funniest part of this is you knew, you know who Taylor Lorenz is,

279
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,960
right, Okay, worse, worse
human being on her. But anyhow,

280
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,319
she posted a thing about how,
oh this shows how he's never going to

281
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:41,519
make it and he look, he
looks so out of place, and that's

282
00:21:41,519 --> 00:21:45,960
a Chensey video and he's not going
to get viewers on Twitter. And she

283
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:49,200
posted that kind of quickly. And
now now that it's up to seventy million,

284
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,960
I don't I don't think she's going
to be revisiting that subject. Yeah,

285
00:21:55,160 --> 00:22:00,839
dumbest person in the world. So
Tucker's got the media industrial comm spooked.

286
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,119
And look, I could go into
a whole thing about restrictive covenants in

287
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:10,440
New York. I sued. I
had four cases in my i illustrious legal

288
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,079
career, and I lost every single
one of them, even though it was

289
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,640
right on the law. I lost
every single one. The only time I

290
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,480
won was when they stole customer lists. There's no way to stop him,

291
00:22:22,519 --> 00:22:26,039
even though they're saying, well,
we're paying you twenty five million not to

292
00:22:26,079 --> 00:22:32,119
compete with us. Technically under New
York law, that will work, except

293
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:33,480
that when you go to the court
and he says, well, I don't

294
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,839
want the twenty five million, I
just want to talk. That's going to

295
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,480
be the end of that, they
can't win the case. It will just

296
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:47,480
damage the brand even worse. But
just like Tucker's got the media industrial complex

297
00:22:47,839 --> 00:22:53,319
on the balls of their heels,
RFK has got the Dems spooked and on

298
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,920
the balls of their you know what. Okay, two things here. One

299
00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:03,559
is do you think when they were
writing Tucker Carlson's contract if he'd said,

300
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,480
you know, you don't care I
post on Twitter once in a while,

301
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:08,640
do you they would have said,
sure, we don't care. Right,

302
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:18,160
So there's no way his contracts can
actually cover or forbid Winter posts because that

303
00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:22,839
that wouldn't have been considered competition or
Fox Now all right, so he wins

304
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,279
that, um, the non compete
thing with no trouble. And the other

305
00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:30,000
thing is, yeah, um,
RFK Junior turned out to be a serious

306
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:37,680
political stud Um. He and Tucker
Carlson must never ride in the same car

307
00:23:37,759 --> 00:23:42,519
now on the fly, at the
same time, the same plane. It's

308
00:23:42,559 --> 00:23:47,039
deep staying well, just they'll see
that as a twofer in tone where we

309
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,960
only have to blow up one vehicle
to kill both of these guys. They'll

310
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,119
go for it just reflexively, and
they don't get many two fers. I'm

311
00:23:53,160 --> 00:24:02,640
sure not that easy. Look.
They don't really look. They only terminate

312
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,000
with extreme prejudice when they have to. They rely on the media to do

313
00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:11,880
the character assassination, which in this
day and age is generally enough, except

314
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:17,519
that everything bad about this guy has
already come out. I mean, there's

315
00:24:17,599 --> 00:24:21,519
like files, and I know some
of it personally, having lived in the

316
00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:27,319
same areas him for a number of
years, him and his sister and Antiquoma,

317
00:24:29,279 --> 00:24:34,119
like forget it, like the guy's
bulletproof. I don't think any moral

318
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:41,599
or ethical quandary ever enters into why
somebody votes for Kennedy. Yeah, well,

319
00:24:41,839 --> 00:24:47,440
you know, and I think Trump
kind of softened us up or stuff

320
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,599
like that. I mean, you
know, anything that somebody's done now you

321
00:24:49,599 --> 00:24:53,799
immediately go. But didn't Trump do
even worse? And he was president?

322
00:24:53,839 --> 00:24:56,359
And then there that's the end of
the discussion there, you know. And

323
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,880
but you're right, m With a
candidate, you know, you get good

324
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,319
and bad. With the Kennedy you
get the name recognition that's that guarantees you

325
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:10,240
ten percent right off the bat in
any Democrat election, But you also get

326
00:25:10,279 --> 00:25:17,839
the assumption of horrendous moral deficiency.
Right, we just assume Kennedy's there's terrible

327
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,720
people in real life, so yeah, I'm never disappointed either. They're not

328
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:32,720
so far disappointing. And just to
read the needle here, they both said

329
00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:40,400
that a certain three letter agency was
responsible for the assassination of rfk's uncle.

330
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:47,319
They both said it like definitively like
based on you know, experience, fact

331
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:51,759
and all that. So right there, it marks the two of them as

332
00:25:51,799 --> 00:25:56,680
an existential threat to the string really
running things. John. The CIA can

333
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:04,359
never allow some to become president whose
relatives they've killed, right, because then

334
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,720
the president will dig into their their
durty. Oh yeah, yeah, that's

335
00:26:07,759 --> 00:26:12,160
true. They can never let this
happen. Boy JFK is brave or RFK

336
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:17,799
is brave you know, uh,
GEK more crazy than brave. But then's

337
00:26:18,039 --> 00:26:22,720
my personal opinion. Hey well military, right, you got to be a

338
00:26:22,759 --> 00:26:27,759
cepath to want to be president and
that all requirement. That's true, that

339
00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:32,240
that is kind of an assumption that
you're at least a narcissist if you're running

340
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,599
for president, but but self destructive. You got to call it self destructive

341
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,000
if you you're reasonably sure that the
CIA will kill you if you get close

342
00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:45,880
to the presidency and you try for
it anyhow, that's great. Well,

343
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:51,240
hey, censors they are. Hey, we're just exercising opinion dot fact and

344
00:26:51,279 --> 00:26:52,960
all that good stuff. Well,
I think we'll leave it at that.
