I thought they were not 60 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.479 very impressive. They really weren't. 61 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.159 Parts of them were impressive and not really but. 62 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.599 The circuslay people jumping around for half an hour, I mean, 63 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.319 come on, give me a break, you know. And then 64 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.639 the singers, I mean, I just didn't get the Red 65 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.360 Hot Chili Peppers. I understand their LA base, but. 66 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:46.360 I know, come on, it's just. 67 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.000 Along the beach had Doctor Dre and Snoop and you 68 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.039 couldn't hear them. The only thing was worthwhile the last singer, 69 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:54.680 I don't know who that woman. 70 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.120 Was, Billy Eilish no, no, no, no. 71 00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.199 I'm not talking about Billy Eilish. She was she was 72 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.759 really good. But I'm talking about the last singer I 73 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.439 turned it off, that African American woman who was there. 74 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:07.520 I'm assuming she was American. 75 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.000 Oh the guitar with the guitar, No, no, that. 76 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.400 Was another one, the very well. I turned it off 77 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.680 with this last singer. She had this green dress on 78 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:19.800 that if I had hired the designer, I would have 79 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.439 fired that designer instantly. And she had this belt on 80 00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:27.720 that I swear I saw around a piece of luggage 81 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.920 last time. I was at to lax and. 82 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.279 Why who nobody knows who it was? Why why did 83 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.879 you turn it off her? 84 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.480 No? No, no, her was great. She sang the Star 85 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:45.959 Spangled bander. She was phenomenal. On my way, Yes, who 86 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:46.680 the hell was. 87 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:51.639 That French singer songwriter? I don't know how to say 88 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:52.000 you so. 89 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:54.680 I don't know, I just did you didn't like her? 90 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:55.720 I thought she was great. 91 00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.199 No, no, I didn't like her. It was just that. No, no, 92 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.160 I just didn't. And then it was well, anyway way 93 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:01.600 a Frank Sinatra tune? 94 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:02.439 Okay, why not? 95 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:04.800 Well, I think it was originally a French tune is 96 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.920 that what they said that then was a change. The 97 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:11.040 lyrics were changed to my way. I don't know. And 98 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.040 then there are a couple of pop bands that all 99 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.399 sang in English. You could have sworn they were American. 100 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.639 It was the only thing that was really neat and 101 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.959 this is absolutely worth it. The one thing that I 102 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:27.000 thought was stunning, I mean stunning in the closing in 103 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:32.079 the closing ceremony was the piano that was lifted up 104 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.800 and the piano player was playing the piano with the 105 00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:41.120 pedals and everything, and he was sitting well, sitting on 106 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.439 his back as the piano was going straight up. It 107 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.959 was just the neatest thing you said, that is that 108 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:47.839 was a neat the rest and. 109 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:51.680 Then the tom Cruise thing, Come on, guys, really you 110 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:56.879 know what?

Seems like a lot, but it's not 164 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.759 number one. It's tied for number one with China. They 165 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.240 also got forty, but they only got ninety one medals. 166 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:40.360 So it's breaking down to which countries own the events, 167 00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:45.080 track and field owned by the United States, diving owned 168 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:46.159 by the Chinese. 169 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.320 We're amazing stroll there. 170 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.360 It's even the commentators was saying, they're the Chinese driver divers. 171 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.480 And then everybody else in the field vice for silver 172 00:08:55.679 --> 00:09:01.799 or bronze or fourth in place? Who is? Oh? The 173 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.200 long distance runners they're all Ethiopians and Kenyons. That mean 174 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.240 they are. I mean, I don't even know why people 175 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.120 who aren't you would think that be you almost never 176 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.080 won a gold medal in any kind of distance running. 177 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:17.519 Or the Inuits, you know Eskimos, they just don't do 178 00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:19.519 that well in long distance running. 179 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.559 Okay, what else? Track and field? 180 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:28.080 China? And then the hero of the Olympics, Leon marchand 181 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.720 swimmer for gold. 182 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.639 I mean, oh, he became the face of the Olympics. 183 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.840 Tell you the Olympic cauldron that was on that balloon 184 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.679 that was lit and then flew back and forth across Paris, 185 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:48.120 that was neat By the way, do you know why 186 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:48.799 it was a balloon? 187 00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:51.720 Why they did that? A little bit of history here. 188 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.519 Why Because the first hotter than a balloon that carried 189 00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:01.679 that carried people was in Paris in the late seventeen hundreds. 190 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.639 The Mongolfier brothers, and so the balloon was incorporated. And 191 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.600 by the way, the first passenger was a rooster. There 192 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.759 you go, there's an important information. 193 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:19.360 I'm wondering what information of my memory I had to 194 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:23.639 push out to cram that little bit in there. I 195 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:27.080 thought it was some North Korea and South Korean situation. 196 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:31.720 It was filled with feces. French police evacuated the area 197 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.360 around the Eiffel Tower after some guy with no shirt 198 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.399 on was seen climbing the landmark hours before the Olympics 199 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:44.279 closing ceremony yesterday. So they had to evacuate. And this 200 00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.039 was some time around I don't know, two forty five 201 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:51.360 or something, and by three pm they started evacuating everyone. 202 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:53.919 They don't know why he did it, and they don't 203 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:55.320 even know how he got up there. 204 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.240 Yeah, oh well he climbed up there. 205 00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.639 Yeah, I mean, of course, but they you know, nobody 206 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.639 sought happening. You think with all the security they you. 207 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.480 Would think, and there's fences around there and just everything. 208 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.600 Yeah, here's a little bit of a history, a little 209 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.840 a couple of unknown facts about the Eiffel Tower. 210 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:16.480 First of all, what was Eiffel's real first name? 211 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:22.240 What do you think it was. Uh No, no, I'm 212 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.159 not talking about the tower. I'm talking about the guy 213 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:27.399 who built the tower just right. Eiffel. What was his name, 214 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:31.360 What was his first name? We think it was Gustav. Okay, 215 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.720 that's what the history tells us. But it was really 216 00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:38.000 Billy Bob Eiffel. Very few people know that. 217 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:40.879 Okay, let's movie on France. 218 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:44.279 Yeah, yeah, very much. Great story by the way about 219 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.039 the Eiffel Tower. If you ever read I mean, guy, 220 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.600 it was just tremendous. It was originally supposed to only 221 00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:53.960 be up for twenty years. Huge, I mean, there was 222 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.000 a lot of controversy about building. It was for the 223 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:59.240 eighteen ninety nine World's Fair or the celebration of the 224 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.720 centennial of France. And I'll tell you where I eife 225 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:04.919 Full died a very wealthy man because he cut a 226 00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:08.240 deal with the city of Paris that after twenty years 227 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:13.039 they changed the rules that he got the uh he 228 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.919 was able to get the money for entrance for the 229 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.240 the people that paid money to go up the Eiffel Tower. 230 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:19.679 He got it. 231 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.000 It makes a lot of money the Eiffel Tower. By 232 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.120 the way, when you go to Paris, A quick word 233 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:27.480 about the Eiffel Tower. I never go to the Eiffel Tower. 234 00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:28.879 I think it's a waste of time. You want to 235 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.879 know why you can't see the Eiffel Tower from the 236 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.919 Eiffel Tower, And what's the view of Paris? What's the 237 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:37.879 why would you get a view of Paris without the 238 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:38.600 Eiffel Tower. 239 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:40.600 Also costs like. 240 00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:42.159 Forty bucks to go up there, and it's a waste 241 00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:42.480 of time. 242 00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:42.960 Okay. 243 00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:50.080 Team Essay has flipped over being stripped. The International Olympic 244 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.960 Committee has decided to take back the bronze medal that 245 00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:59.480 was awarded to American gymnast Jordan Chiles for her performance 246 00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:02.399 on the floor routine, and instead we'll give it to 247 00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:08.639 the Romanian Anna Barbosu. So here's what happened. The Court 248 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:13.759 of Arbitration ruled on Saturday that an inquiry made by 249 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.279 Team USA about her score came in too late. It's 250 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:21.799 supposed to be done within sixty seconds of the score 251 00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:25.200 being posted, and the IOC is saying that it came 252 00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:30.799 in sixty four seconds afterward, CROC. So they're saying Jordan 253 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:36.320 Childs has to return the bronze. Team USA is appealing, obviously, 254 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:37.759 and they say they have some proof that it. 255 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:42.240 Can They said, they have the timestamp and they're presenting it. Now, 256 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:47.200 what happens if she says, no, I'm not returning it. 257 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:51.399 I'm keeping the damn thing. What do you do? Do 258 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:55.480 the gendarmes come out there. Do they serve a warrant 259 00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.440 and pick it up, arrest her for not returning the 260 00:13:58.480 --> 00:13:59.480 bronze medal? Mm? 261 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:05.919 Well, could they punish her not allower to be a 262 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:08.039 part of any other Olympic event? 263 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:15.000 Or maybe the IOC can not she could certainly the IOC, 264 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.519 I think, only has jurisdiction over the Olympics itself. The 265 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.679 rest of its American gymnastics controls its own gymnastics. I 266 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.080 think the countries control their own. Do you know who 267 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.080 else a little bit of history here? You know who 268 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:34.720 else got medals yanked? Very famous case and then reinstated 269 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:40.320 decades and decades later. Jim Thorpe nineteen twelve. Really yeah 270 00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:40.919 in Sweden? 271 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:42.759 Yeah yeah, he was the case. 272 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.799 He was the he was he won all the gold medals. 273 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.159 I don't remember whatever, but the entire team was him. 274 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.639 Where he did all the track and field, the running 275 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:55.039 in the discus and the marathon and all that, or 276 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:58.720 the decathlon and because in those days it was truly 277 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.799 amateur sports. They found out that in college he had 278 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:06.919 played one summer of semi pro ball for just a 279 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.200 little bit. He got minor money, just a little tiny 280 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:14.559 bit of money. So they yanked the medals. They took 281 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:16.639 them away, and if you look at the record books, 282 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.440 well now it's reinstated, but the number two people came 283 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:23.159 in with gold. Don't know if you actually returned the 284 00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.919 medals or not, but they do have a history of 285 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:26.279 doing that. 286 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:27.240 They'll yank medals. 287 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:30.799 Do you know that the gold medal is not gold? 288 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.200 Yes, I do. If the gold medal were gold, that 289 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.759 would be and there's over a thousand medals that were 290 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:38.399 handed out. Can you imagine how much gold there would be. 291 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.360 Is actually silver coated with gold? 292 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:44.840 Five is it five milligrams or six milligrams of gold? 293 00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:45.879 So it's only worth about. 294 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.799 Yeah, gold plating is what it is. You know, they 295 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:49.639 just dip it into gold. 296 00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:50.600 Yeah it still looks good. 297 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.559 Yeah, it looks great. Also. The other thing that's really 298 00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:55.919 neat about you know, every country designed it's own metal. 299 00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.799 What's really neat about this one? You see that metal 300 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.960 in the middle of it, that's part of the Eiffel Tower. 301 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:06.919 That's metal from the Eiffel Tower. Yeah, that's great. That 302 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:09.639 is seriously cool because when they have to, they took 303 00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:13.480 down parts of the Eiffel Tower because the metal itself was. 304 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.440 It was rotting away, you know, we had been oxidized and. 305 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:20.720 It had to be replaced. They took all of that 306 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:24.879 metal and kept it and part of the the. 307 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:25.639 Medals are made about. 308 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.159 It's great. It's great stuff, it really is. This Olympics 309 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:31.000 was really interesting, interesting except for the lady singing at 310 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.440 the very last part of come on, she was good. 311 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.039 I think they should have taken the metal from like 312 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.240 load bearing parts of the Eiffel Tower. Now, yeah, that 313 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.639 make it more interesting, that would make it powers could 314 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:45.039 go down. 315 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:46.080 No, you're absolutely right. 316 00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:51.159 Uh, this is a horrible story. But it's near your hometown. 317 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:51.399 There. 318 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:55.840 It is the bodies of all sixty two victims that 319 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.360 stunning plane crash in Brazil. Did you see video of that? 320 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:01.559 Yes, they have it going down. 321 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.720 Yeah, it's just crazy. The aircraft just plummeted to the 322 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:09.640 ground residential neighborhood. All the bodies have been recovered, so 323 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:14.359 the investigators finished their search for the victims. That crash 324 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.279 site of course outside of Bill's hometown of some hollow. 325 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:20.920 Yeah, and you could see it wasn't in the case 326 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:24.359 when we'd plummeting. It was an auguring in it was 327 00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:29.680 actually spinning as it was going down, s spinning slow 328 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.039 kind of installed. It installed. That's what a plane looks 329 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.680 like when it's stalled. It's no longer obviously airworthy, it's 330 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:37.720 not flying at all. 331 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.480 It's just going down. And it's just it was horrible. 332 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:44.480 Can you imagine being on that plane the last few seconds, 333 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:46.400 I mean, you just that's. 334 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:49.319 Not you're dropping at that rate? Would you just pass out? 335 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:51.279 No, not at all. 336 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:52.640 Hope. 337 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:55.759 The US is sending more firepower to the Middle East. 338 00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.640 Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered a guided missile submarine 339 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.319 to the Middle East and is also working to speed 340 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:06.000 up the arrival of a carrier strike group to the region. 341 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:10.880 And this is all because Iran is threatening to attack Israel. 342 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:17.000 The movement of the US submarine is rarely revealed publicly 343 00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:21.160 because this is a nuclear power submarine. They usually operate 344 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:24.240 in your complete secrecy, but apparently they need to save 345 00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:25.240 ran all this saber. 346 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:28.160 Yeah, I'm wondering what is going on with this? I 347 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:32.480 mean so Iran attacks is reel directly. Okay, fine, I 348 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:35.799 mean that's sort of a given based on what's happening 349 00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:39.200 right now. Now, what does the US do? Does it 350 00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:43.599 send up fighters and attack Iranian fighters? Does it lob 351 00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:45.960 a few cruise missiles into Iran? 352 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:49.319 Maybe this is a deterrent. 353 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:51.599 Well, it's a show of force, is what it is. 354 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:55.000 But how much of a deterrent is it when everybody 355 00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:56.680 knows it's not going to be used? 356 00:18:58.119 --> 00:18:59.119 Maybe I'm wrong on this. 357 00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:06.720 Maybe the US will attack Iranian forces, but they're already 358 00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:09.240 doing everything they can with the Patriot missiles and the 359 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:12.480 Iron Dome and sending the anti missile missile systems into 360 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:13.759 Israel which are already there. 361 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:17.599 So I'm just curious about that next few days. 362 00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:20.720 It's well, it's a tinder box over there, and it's 363 00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:23.559 not fine, all. 364 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:27.680 Right, hundreds of firefighters backed by more than thirty water 365 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:31.839 dropping planes or battling a major forest fire that's going 366 00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:36.160 nuts there, completely out of control, the northern fringes of Athens. 367 00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:41.519 You've got this fan by strong winds and started Sunday 368 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:46.279 afternoon and just kind of reacing through the pine forests there. 369 00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:49.440 Yeah, the wildfires are just out of. 370 00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:54.799 Control all of the world. Yeah, yeah, it's just horrible. 371 00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:56.680 Remember smoking the Bear. 372 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:02.000 Yeah, yeah, he died around cancer. He's no longer available 373 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:04.319 to us, but he's still. 374 00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:09.759 All right. He's fine. O was McGruff and officer McGruff 375 00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:10.680 and everybody's fine. 376 00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:12.920 Oh mcgraff. What was he for? He was the take 377 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:14.680 the ruff out of crime or something. 378 00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:15.920 Yeah, I like that. 379 00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:21.400 Ukraine's president has confirmed what appears to be a suicide mission, 380 00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:26.640 but volodimyir Zelenski has confirmed that his troops have started 381 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:31.519 fighting inside Russia. They've gone into the Curse region of 382 00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:36.359 fifteen miles in and yesterday he made his first formal 383 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:39.759 recognition that the troops had crossed into Russia and thanked 384 00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:42.960 every unit of Ukraine's armed forces for making it possible 385 00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:46.599 to push the war out into the aggressor's territory. 386 00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:47.160 Yeah. 387 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:51.680 Both sides are running out of people to fight. That's 388 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:53.359 the problem, you know. 389 00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:57.759 Russia of course has this insane overwhelming number of people 390 00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:01.799 there and troops, but it's it's tough right there or 391 00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:03.880 there there. There's a conscription over there. It's the only 392 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:06.279 way they can get people in there, and they're so 393 00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:09.720 they're drafting everybody they can is cannon fodder for them. 394 00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:16.200 Ukrainians are at their natior in terms of troops that 395 00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:20.799 they can train, and it's just it's going to go on. 396 00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:21.920 Probably for years. Unfortunately. 397 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:27.799 How does that change the trajectory of generations when men, 398 00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:33.279 mostly men in that young age range just die off. 399 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:34.640 Yeah, it is. 400 00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:39.799 It changes, It's exactly. It changes the direct the generational trajectory. 401 00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:44.119
