"We'll safe to say he knows a lot about the subject of risk dealing with it facing it managing it and Tim now writing about it Retired four star general Stan McChrystal is former commander of the joint special operations in Iraq and founder of the McChrystal group his latest book risk a user's guide aims to help individuals and organizations mitigate risk Yeah he's lived a life filled with the deadly risks of combat We know that We began though our conversation along those lines by asking for his thoughts on the recent U.S. Military withdrawal from Afghanistan where he also served I was sad to see the way it played out overall Because many of us became very emotionally connected with Afghanistan So it's important to remember that because I also would tell you that's one of the reasons my views are biased by my personal opinion I think that some fortunate we pulled out But I would say that I think President Biden made a courageous decision I mean the accord that was signed in Doha by president Trump's administration essentially set a hard date of 1 May 2021 So President Biden was faced with the choice of either abrogating that agreement and extending the war or following it which is essentially what he did People ask me if I agreed with it and my answer is I respect the decision by the commander in chief It's not the recommendation I would have made but that's the way our system is supposed to work Military leaders provide best advice and then president decides The top U.S. Military officer we're talking about general Mark milley chairman of the joint chiefs of staff He called the 20 year war in Afghanistan a strategic failure Why was that And do you agree Well I couldn't argue with the fact that it was a failure of somebody if I tried to say no it's a success I think that be disingenuous However I will say that it wasn't completely for nought Afghanistan is a very different country than it was in 2001 when we went back So the reality is the 20 years of educational opportunities for females for young people and other advances that Taliban are going to try to control a very different state And I'm hopeful in the long term that either causes them to change the way they lead or open opportunities for different governance I'm wondering general McChrystal if the way that the United States left Afghanistan if it tarnishes the United States reputation in the view of countries around the world It certainly doesn't help There were some miscalculations that came out and I don't plan to fall with the planning But things happen But the reality is when people see it from afar whether they are potential enemies in which case they might think less of us or our potential allies and they are trying to decide if we are a reliable capable partner So in a very public world as I'll describe it every time you have a challenge like that It has some effect on your reputation So like a commercial firm We now need to work on that We need to pay attention and work to try to recover a better off ground there Well the world continues to find itself in some incredibly risky situations Your book is all about it And I think about the financial crisis the pandemic that we're still dealing with today's increasingly crisis within the energy sector cyberattacks our leaders ignoring the signs are their systems for detecting risk not good currently focusing on the wrong signs and methodologies or risk in terms of obviously pulling out of something like Afghanistan Yeah I would say first we don't assess risk very well because we're always externally trying to predict what they will be and when they'll come And that's really just too hard because they're too buried I think we need to be looking internal more What is it that you think a leader needs to keep in mind when it comes to diversity and assessing risk I think we think about diversity too often as just gender or race or religious background We're really talking about different perspectives And so if we talk about bringing together a team we'll call it a board of directors or anything else If you have diversity on an on a superficial level of general and whatnot you might not have diversity of perspective You might have people all from the same background all bankers or whatever And so what they'll do is they'll leave blind spots And diversity needs to be thought of not as equality a quality is a legal right and a moral right Diversity is an operational necessity for organization So ensuring that you've got people that are looking from every different angle and bring different experience of expertise Have a question for you And I'm going to give credit where credit's due because your team kind of shared some thoughts with us But one of the things that came to their mind and we think this is just spot on is how do you feel U.S. leadership dealt with COVID-19 And what could have been done differently Yeah that's a great question I think they fumbled it pretty badly If you think about COVID-19 although it is a dangerous risk it's not ten feet tall It's not unbeatable And it wasn't unexpected We have this kind of challenge every few years and we know a lot about public health So we actually know what to do about it And then of course we've got the help with the scientific miracle of fast vaccine But if you think about from the beginning what we really needed was clear communication even admitting what we don't know informing the national population And then we needed a clear narrative How is it is our nation going to deal with that Tell people if we want to use a war analogies I think would have been appropriate We asked every American to take part in the common defense of every other American And then of course we go down the willingness to make decisions overcome the inertia that sometimes causes us issues And the ability to be adaptable is things change like the rise of the delta variant In almost every case we fumbled it pretty badly and I would argue that the 700,000 Americans that we have lost is far more than we ever needed to lose Do you think general McChrystal Americans would have made that sacrifice if it was communicated to them in the way that you communicated it to us It does seem like right now there is not a sense of shared sacrifice among all of us right now with the way that people act when it comes to being asked to wear a mask taking a vaccine a vaccine mandate that sort of thing Jimmy you're right I think that they would have of course we couldn't approve it until we did it But if we go back in time our history when we have asked the American people to sacrifice and be a part of that we hadn't very good results And I think that's the only way to go when we're trying to do something that affects all of us That was retired four star general Stan.

commander of the joint special operations in Iraq founder of the McChrystal group author of several other books including leaders myth and reality among them general crystal joining us on the phone in New York City General McChrystal so nice to have you back here on Bloomberg How are you Well Carol it's an honor to be with you Well same here Tim and I are delighted to talk in with you Hey before we get into the book we would appreciate your thoughts on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan You understand what it's like to be on the line directly in the fight for something Was it a mistake that withdrawal Well let me take first I think like most veterans and people involved I was sad to see the way it played out overall Because many of us became very emotionally connected with Afghanistan So it's important to remember that because I also would tell you that's one of the reasons my views are biased by my personal opinion I think that some fortunate we pulled out But I would say that I

reputation It's like a commercial firm We now need to work on that We need to pay attention and work to try to recover a better loss ground there Well the world continues to find itself in some incredibly risky situations Your book is all about it And I think about whether it was the financial crisis the pandemic that we're still dealing with today's increasingly crisis within the energy sector cyberattacks are leaders ignoring the signs or are there systems for detecting risk not good currently focusing on the wrong signs and methodologies or risk in terms of obviously pulling out of something like Afghanistan We've got about 50 60 seconds and then we'll come back and talk some more Yeah I would say first we don't assess risk very well because we're always externally trying to predict what they will be and when they'll come And that's really just too hard Because they're too varied I think we need to be looking internal more All right we're going to leave it on that note We're going to come back with general Stanley McChrystal He's going to stay with us Former commander of the joint special operations in Iraq risk a user's guide This is his new book that is just out And really looks at how people have been detecting risk certainly leadership and how that maybe is not leading them to make the best decisions And what are those lessons that we can take from what general McChrystal found what he writes about And apply them to our own lives both when we think about assessing risk as parents as members of family when we're trying to stay healthy when it comes to COVID but also as business leaders as.

"Doc or something and i remember it was one of his. Big preoccupations was to not know to prevent because being scooped at at any cost. Because it's it's really tough. Yeah all the all the time. It's kind of with the trust. The hierarchy like my boss always wanted to publish nature gets right. I mean mcchrystal. Who needed like six years doing experiments to get a like a nature. Publication done h immunology. Now ants still just because you're working like six seven years. It's no guarantee that you get a paper. Yeah i will politics. I thought okay. That's not for me. Well for sure again. That's why i think also you know you can Arrive to the kind of a. Let's say romantic idea of what it is. Because you know you may be did a masters and you found you find that interesting and also you did your bachelors. You heard all these stories of how the discovery was made. How we you know. This was developed. An it's all kind of does the magic to it right. And i think that's what attracts us to science magnet to discovery while what's creek. Oh my gosh. i love to read the biography. So but then when you get to the lab and then you do western blots not working for excise then you get this this This blessed by god post doc. Who in any blood that worth the do. It works like what you know. And it's the whole reality of things of the lab and again we he. We're talking of course about the biology and science labs and like but It's only you only know the reality once you're in there and it's normal the part of us in the end find it. Okay i now. I tested and i wanted to do something else. I really appreciate those guys who stick to it because dead statistically fundamental work and it has to predominant without them we might be screwing the future. So that's that's doing it just filed for me personally. That's not what i wanted to do. So therefore it wasn't easy to take decision. As i said it took me two years of thinking every day. This is ready to the right decision as you can imagine. I mean once you're in this academic field everyone is like asking if you're totally crazy to say no unbelieving photographer. You know everyone what you actually. That's that's one of the questions i often ask. People is how was the know. How did the reaction of people around you have an impact on the decision you you you made. Because it's hard especially your colleagues. The appears to see you leave. There's kind of a. They might feel that you're betraying something order that You know There's many things that might be difficult to deal with family. I don't know yeah with my family was like you said before i was the first one in my whole family who studied antipathy peachy so for my mom was already well. I have a phd and do whatever you want. I fulfilled this. this level. Already know my family's is great appearance We're always like supporting me. Doesn't matter what it did Yeah with the colleagues and my boss. I mean like asking why. I'm doing this and i should think about it but somehow i felt i'm still feeling really strong insides me and i have. This is intuition if if feeling tells me to do something even though it's it's challenging and i always feared this feeling in the past because it was like man i mean you start nine years you have to pg no and now you start from scratch something totally different. It's crazy But all the time. When i kind of follow this feeling this intuition it turned out great. So i'm i'm really grateful that i have to intuition and and i walked this path but yeah what i what i fed honestly saying is like more. Envy like other people say damn. I should do this too. I don't belong here. But i have no clue what i should do right. Just no academia is not for me. Okay let's go to former company even though that's forests well ended up there but yeah having the having guts. Whatever just to say okay. I'm doing something. Different is hard and challenge. It's it's hard you know you choose this path and you're the first new family and in your case you did find what to do because you have this calling but I if you don't then you just go for the next best besting then. Maybe you don't like that either because the corporate the corporate environment is not for you. It's unfair this is why this is why a really really defendant proposed people so pc programs should have people work on like a kind of a life plan that includes like two or three career possibilities after and then they work on it and so when they finished they know what they know what. They're good at besides bench or or or research they know what the they might thrive in. They may have had conversations with people who are in those domains so they may have network already so in the end. Saying i'm going to something else can be an easy thing and this is what i think is unfair. Is you go for the highest level of degree that you can and then you kind of dropped off a cliff at the end and and this is what i want to change him and if you don't have a publication out i mean you might not even get to peachy because there were discussions like okay. You need a i also paper otherwise you don't get it and then they keep you dare and you work another year right then. It's like what should i do. It's it's it's very unfair than a mental that affects the mental health of graduate students around the world and So i i think again things are changing. Things are moving I want to try and do something at least around me to help graduate students who might be lost at at at the moment but i think some programs have have an inkling of this and are doing things now. He is one thing that i that i felt in the end. That again has come has come up. Is this connection. You have to your gut feeling and these less two years. There was a lot of introspection. I guess but. I want to.

"This bad in the obama administration but we did have some bad ones me. Can you talk about what it feels like to be inside. The white house consumed by multiple crises. Miss thinking back to from not fun. Thinking back to sort of like the the most tumultuous periods and i got the national security council spokesman job in january of twenty ten right before the haiti earthquake in then the arab spring and there was a period around Benghazi and you can see what it's like on biden's face you can see it. Jigsaw vin tony blankets face when they're when they're briefing after benghazi seven. Am room check ins and then seven pm later that day when you do go home you know. You're not getting sleep. You're getting caught in the middle of the night was our update from the situation room You're getting new information constantly. You know that some of that information is going to be wrong but you still have to brief congress yourself to brief the press in real time to the best of your ability. You're trying to get answers from people in different continents in different time zones. You're trying to coordinate and hold accountable. Massive government agencies like the pentagon and the state department and you tell community and actually get them to do what you want them to do. And then if you're jigsaw alvin or tony blinken your briefing the president and the vice president and you're dealing with however they feel your moment. They're probably not there. Biding probably pretty happy. Right now understandably and it's it's completely unsustainable and then on top of that you can't just drop all the shit you have to do you know i mean. I read the wall street journal. This morning. there's a report that north korea is resuming nuclear enrichment. I'm sure that nfc is meeting about that. The the prime minister of israel was in town on thursday the day of the attack. You're supposed to meet with biden like you can't just drop him This hurricanes barreling down so like they are in the barrel and the fallout from this. In terms of the impact on the administration the individuals involved. Congress like it's just beginning at the beginning of this. Yeah in in. You've gotta remember that these are these are human beings right. everyone is tired. everything is reactive right. There's very little time for planning or for proactive messaging about any of the You know agenda items. You wanna pass. I think they were like they had planned to talk about the economic plan and hold events. Do any of that you know commoner supposed to campaign with gavin newsom that gets cancelled or these are just small things but like when you're in the white house and there's like ten different things hitting you at once and all you have to do is you don't have time to like really sort of digest a bunch of information and then react you're reacting in real time constantly there's a foxhole mentality when you're just getting attacked all the time and trying to push back it is it is fucking brutal brutal brutal on your best day on the right like i mean one of the most like weirdly soul crushing times for me in the administration were the days after the bin laden operation because the us leads us unbelievable on precedent operation to kill osama bin laden. We ask john brennan. Who has been hunting that fucker for fifteen years. Who like literally killed people he knew and john briefs get some facts wrong. Based on the information he added the time and then like we spend a week having john called a liar and trying to sort of like cleanup or walk back mistakes we made and the and that's what they were their mistakes. They but you. They get framed as lies reference to mislead the press. I mean jake solve incredibly well loved. Like he's like the nicest the brilliant guy he's super thought phobic. He looks like you know he's been in the barrow time. I remember when remember the oil spill in in two thousand ten In the obama white house and it was all consuming there. Was you know every single cable channel. We're talking about the oil spill and there was like a little box in the bottom of the screen that just showed the oil shooting out into the gulf. And saying you know obama's like the worst presence carter and he's not doing anything about the that he ju. Yeah that barack obama is not personally figure out how to get that and plug it in scuba tank. And i remember robert gibbs tells the story that they're all sitting in and gives his office and obama's there and a bunch of other visors and as they're figuring out this oil spill crisis so says oh by the way there's this article rolling stone but stan mcchrystal and now he has to fire stan mcchrystal kim house me and that crisis happens as you're dealing with the oil spill crisis right and so this is these multiple things happened at once and it's it's it's pretty brutal also that like so much of what in situations like that. So much of what is unfolding. Is the question. Will this crisis negatively impact. The politics of this administration of everything else is doing and so often the way that political punditry and political coverage works. The question will this have a negative. Political impact on the administration is the means by which the crisis creates a negative political impact on the administration. You end up in this sort of like rhetorical loop of. We're still talking about this. Isn't that because of bunch of dumb democrats answer phone calls from politico or the wall street journal or whoever and say oh yeah. I'm really worried about this impact. The midterm unburden yourself to a reporter to really make it feel good. I mean looking for like jake in the nfc people like all you can do is hope that the nfc process and structure that you built kin like hold all the weight that you're trying to carry in the moment and weeks like this. You're not always sure that it can. So republicans have been pretty clear that their argument for the midterms will be that. The country's fallen into chaos joe biden is to weakening competent to do anything about it How worried to the white democrats. Be about that message. And how should they think about responding. I think that they should be worried about the message. Insofar as the country is in chaos and dissolution do. I think they should be worrying about it. In terms of like the specific news cycle of this moment no i think joe biden will be judged by his actions but the actual consequences of his policy choices and beyond that they need to the i think they are doing. Their best to kind of share information manage the the news cycles as they're happening without being so buffeted by them that they changed course. And i think that is i. Think the signature aspect of the way. This administration has done politics from the beginning. It is partly drove. It's our job and became president. I think it's actually how jen psaki conduct yourself in that briefing room incredibly while every single day And i think that is their strength. They know when to respond and they know when not to respond And as long as they keep doing that and the the the test for this administration will actually play out with what's happening with the infrastructure bill. What's happening with the with the You know giant When we call it the other one the other one part of the problem with better. Better plan.

"What doesn't just do what's important to us. That is very important. That can think back to those ideals. You talked about earlier ultimately. It's it's it's easy to easier to stay tethered to stay tethered difficult times. If you know what you're connected to train yeah. It gets back to ask the question. Why is it that way and someone says well. it's been that way while no we just. We just proved. It doesn't have to be that way. So what do we want it to be. And those are very important conversation. Some of which are be it had. But in many cases i think they're fairly superficial. I think we need to have deeper conversations about how we want our society to work how we want our politics door how we want our economy to work. And you know in the moment when everybody's just trying to go on vacation or you know. Enjoy a post kobe thing. There's a little reticence to have those but things will happen in an unfortunately if we missed the moment if if we take the next year and we don't take advantage of it. The pieces will slow. Down inertial a setback in short of wherever wheel and it will be hard to adjust again and so we don't want another pandemic to help us. Well stand you said. We had a gift of this moment to make some new choices. I think we had a gift today with you. Being on the podcast. I really appreciate your service to our country The lessons you're teaching all of us as leaders and your willingness to spend thirty minutes or so chatting with myself and the audience.

"You can specialize all your people and and life is pretty comfortable and most of us were raised in organizations and educated into the complicated process world fragrance. Though taylor is the most famous name of bringing efficiency and most of us don't know who he is but yet we reflect a of his ideas. Yeah a lot of time and motion steady stuff that's right but but the one that fascinates me as a complex environment and complex environments one. Whether or so many variables and things move fast enough should that you cannot predict something beforehand. And you say wait a minute. That's that's disturbing because you don't know what the question's gonna be and if you did have the question you know what the answer is going to be and so a complex environment means you have to enter it with an entirely different mindset. It means your shooting at moving targets and yet they're not of a cetera directory distance. Or you're gonna have to constantly adjust. It also means that our organizations have got to be structured so that they are not tightened down a perfect efficiency. Instead they've got to be a little bit more loosely connected so that they are constantly able to adapt so that they are the winning strategy. There is group adaptability as an organization but that has implications for leaders and processes and all the other things and so if we understand that we are raised for complicated world but increasingly live in a complex world. We know we've got to take a journey and unfortunately most of us are sort of spring loaded. go back to our complex comfort. You know if you've ever been in an organization where seventy has a crisis whether it's a weather event or it's a war it's an economic crisis you come together. You start communicating very often yup rate and open spaces. You get the job done you order a lot of pizza and then afterward everybody pets each other on the back and say we did it were better organization now and then you go back to your cubicle in your separate silo section and you don't communicate that way again until the next crisis comes and the problem is we live in an environment. That is very much like a crisis down in terms of speed and complexity. And so we've got to get our our attitudes in our organization sepanek as we're wrapping up our conversation today.

"Who with whom we have. <Speech_Male> Let's say complicated <Speech_Male> relationships to <Speech_Male> say <Speech_Male> Least <Speech_Male> yeah as <Speech_Male> most people know <Speech_Male> right after world war <Speech_Male> two the united states <Speech_Male> was forty six <Speech_Male> percent <Speech_Male> of the world's gross <Speech_Male> national product <Speech_Male> equivalent subs at <Speech_Male> aspirational <Speech_Male> over waiting of a single <Speech_Male> country with <Speech_Male> economic power. <Speech_Male> And that's not at <Speech_Male> all the case anymore <Speech_Male> but most <Speech_Male> of us have grown <Speech_Male> up in some <Speech_Male> version <Speech_Male> of that reality <Speech_Male> then we went <Speech_Male> into the cold war. We <Speech_Male> had big <Speech_Male> power competition <Speech_Male> with proxies <Speech_Male> whatnot <Speech_Male> and then we entered <Speech_Male> into a period after the <Speech_Male> fall of the soviet <Speech_Male> union or the <Speech_Male> united states was <Speech_Male> described as a hyperpower <Speech_Male> we <Speech_Male> tremendous capability <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> united states particularly <Speech_Male> the corporations <Speech_Male> from it had the ability <Speech_Male> to operate <Speech_Male> in somewhat <Speech_Male> of a pure capitalist <Speech_Male> mode. They could <Speech_Male> go out and see what's <Speech_Male> best for <Speech_Male> their particular <Speech_Male> company maximize <Speech_Male> profits for shareholders. <Speech_Male> And things like <Speech_Male> that. I <Speech_Male> would argue whereabout date. <Speech_Male> We have already <Speech_Male> entered <SpeakerChange> an era <Speech_Male> of what. I'd called <Speech_Male> almost cold <Silence> competition. <Speech_Male> It's <Speech_Male> not war <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Male> so it's not <Speech_Male> cold war but <Speech_Male> it's pretty darn close <Speech_Male> and <Speech_Male> it is going to <Speech_Male> be relentless <Speech_Male> and i will <Speech_Male> even use the word <Speech_Male> louis competition <Speech_Male> between <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> china particularly <Speech_Male> but also <Speech_Male> anyone else <Speech_Male> that can get the with <Speech_Male> all due to include <Speech_Male> russia. <Speech_Male> So <Speech_Male> i think that we <Speech_Male> in the world <Speech_Male> now have got to wake <Speech_Male> up to that reality. <Speech_Male> We've got to conduct <Speech_Male> our business. <Speech_Male> And our foreign policy <Speech_Male> in a <Speech_Male> way that that makes <Speech_Male> ourselves as strong <Speech_Male> as possible international <Speech_Male> alliances <Speech_Male> for foreign policy <Speech_Male> affirm <Speech_Male> status <Speech_Male> around the world <Speech_Male> but recognize <Speech_Male> that. We are not <Speech_Male> the overarching <Speech_Male> power. <Speech_Male> Dominant power <Speech_Male> that we might have once been <Silence> <Speech_Male> but also <Speech_Male> our company <Speech_Male> gotta understand. <Speech_Male> This is a team sport. <Speech_Male> This is a team <Speech_Male> of teams now. <Speech_Male> Companies <Speech_Male> operate in their own <Speech_Male> interest but they also <Speech_Male> operate in the <Speech_Male> interests of <Speech_Male> their nation <Speech_Male> and so <Speech_Male> companies are going <Speech_Male> to be most successful <Speech_Male> if our <Speech_Male> economic system. our <Speech_Male> our ecosystem <Speech_Male> is most successful. <Speech_Male> So <Speech_Male> we've got to pull things <Speech_Male> together in a way <Speech_Male> for cybersecurity <Speech_Male> for trade relations <Speech_Male> all these things <Speech_Male> in a way that <Speech_Male> are mutually supporting <Speech_Male> in. That's a bit <Speech_Male> different than we've done. <Speech_Male> In the past <Speech_Male> there are going to be some leaders <Speech_Male> who say wow <Speech_Male> that smacks of industrial <Speech_Male> policy <Speech_Male> that smacks of <Speech_Male> a controlled <Speech_Music_Male> economy. And i'm not <Speech_Music_Male> talking about that. <Speech_Music_Male> But <SpeakerChange> i am talking <Speech_Male> about an intentional <Speech_Male> <Silence> effort <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> to make the healthiest <Speech_Male> economy. <Speech_Male> We can't starting <Speech_Male> with education <Speech_Male> for a workforce <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> security <Silence> of supply chains <Silence> <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> Precious or <Speech_Male> key natural resources <Speech_Male> all of <Speech_Male> those things. We've got <Speech_Male> a look at the world differently <Speech_Male> and we've got <Speech_Male> to act to <Silence> further <SpeakerChange> those interests <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> very <Speech_Male> important points <Speech_Male> complicated <Speech_Male> days ahead <Speech_Male> certainly but with the <Speech_Male> advice that you've shared <Speech_Male> here some <Speech_Male> crates nuggets for us <Speech_Male> to take back as we <Speech_Male> do our own planning <Speech_Male> general stanley mcchrystal. <Speech_Male> I'm honored <Speech_Male> to join us today.

"Welcome back America. I'm here. Hewitt. I'm joined now by Brigadier General Craig Nixon retired from the United States Army after a 29 year career. After the war began on 9 11 he spent over four years in combat, including tours in Afghanistan in Iraq. Hey, was the commander of the 75th Ranger Regiment. He has also got so many honors. I can't begin to tell you Silver Star three Bronze stars The Purple Heart. Formerly a partner with my my friend Stanley McChrystal on one of the favorite guests on this show, General Nixon is now CEO of Nixon. Six solutions. Good Morning, General. Welcome to the program. Honored to have you thank you for joining me. Thanks to you 5% appreciate the invitation now, General, I'm a civilian, even though I got Navy family all around me, So I know that civilians often make mistakes when they talk about military nomine clay, cheering categorization. It has always been my understanding that well, every member of the 75th Ranger Regiment, which you commanded is a Ranger or nearly every member. Not every ranger has served in the Ranger Regiment and my right or wrong is a prelude to discussing Senator Cotton. No, You're absolutely right. It is It is confusing, but you're absolutely correct. And so I think it's a mistake that civilians make that they do that. Can you explain the difference between the Ranger Regiment and other Rangers? Sure. Well, I think I think is primary differences. It's Ranger school and the Ranger regiment. So one and it's a schools. It's the best leadership school. In the army and upon graduation from that school. Uh, you're considered an Army Ranger. Least I consider myself an Army ranger, the 75th Ranger Regiment and the three battalions associated with it or a unit. It is comprised of only people that a Ranger qualified so that that's the confusion, but I mean it, Z. The confusion, particularly as it relates to this discussion, I think is frankly, a little bit ridiculous. Did you think the attack on Senator Cotton was in any way justified given Any representation. He's been a guest on this show, maybe 300 times since 2012 once a week, and he's often said I'm a Ranger. I served with 101st in Iraq and I served with the old guard. He's never ever said he served in the Ranger regiment to me or anywhere else that I can see. Do you think he is being unfairly maligned? Yeah, I think I think it's been taken completely out of context. I I don't know Senator Cotton. I mean, I've looked at a lot of his statements into your point. To my knowledge he's never talked, claimed to have been in the Ranger Regiment or one of the Ranger battalions. He's always clearly state is in 101st of the old guard, and he's a graduate of Ranger school, so I think And this is not the first time it's come up has come up a number of times and frankly, one of the reasons that I agreed to come on and do the show is I just think this argument it distracts from the things that we ought to be focused on. Well, it was coincidental that I am reading a book by a fellow named Michael Walters. A congressman and I'm reading his book Where your diplomat Because my son went to work for him in Congress recently. And coincidentally, I'm reading about one of his hated battles in Afghanistan. I mean, very heated. People are getting killed and shot and he writes The Ranger creed that we recited. Every day in that hellish school was burned into my head. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy. He's a green beret did not serve with the Ranger Regiment, but it clearly has an impact on every ranger who goes through the school. That's correct, and that's what it was designed for on. Frankly, the school was designed before the modern day Ranger units were designed, so it was a follow on to the school. What was it what I think Go ahead, General. I think you know if you really want to understand that there's one Ranger Hall of Fame and that Ranger Hall of Fame is comprised of two different groups of people. People that served in the Ranger Regiment and the battalions and people that are Ranger qualified. So clearly, the Rangers who created the Ranger Hall of Fame believe they're both inside that umbrella. Do. Members of the regiment generally resent The Ranger qualified as describing themselves as Ranger. You know that This is a little bit like inside baseball. I mean, if your officer club drinking beer, you're going to have arguments over my in. It's better than your unit. If you haven't done as much as I've done that Z clearly, that's a discussion. It's not a political discussion and is not it and we shouldn't be using it to disparage people's character, because I just think it's wrong. Well, that is, I think the bottom line now, General, would you talk to me a little bit about what happens in Ranger school? Tom does not. Elucidated and I've read about it in the waltz book as well. But what is it? What is it that they do? That makes people a different kind of soldier than they were when they began the school. The focus on Ranger school is leadership in combat, and what they try and do is a friend replicate combat in the in the only way you can in peace time, and that's two To provide stress, and they provide stress through lack of food. Lack of sleep, continuous movement, hard exercise peer interaction, So it is an extremely stressful of that that you're evaluated. From the time you begin till the time time you finished, it is probably the closest replication you're going to have to leading in combat. And that's the crucible that you go through. And that's why it's such an important school leadership school for all of the army, not just for the people going to the Ranger Regiment. Now the distinction between special forces is often also mixed up. All special forces served often under the special forces come in, but they each have their unique Eat those and creeds correct..

"And that's an arrogant, vindictive and bullying winner in light of the story, which is told from Homer's Iliad on Guessing, sir, that you are seeing the Democrats as vindictive. Why, Well, Joe Biden remember before he was even president said that two U. S. Senators. Holly and clues will like Joseph Goebbels, Nazi propaganda Nazis, you compare them, he said. The Capitol police We're driven by racism not to clamp down. He called Donald Trump a racist during the campaign five times and then again and then we've impeached him Now. In one day, we had no special counsel report with no attorneys. No Cross examinations, no evidence Just simply up and down. Go one day third time they had introduced impeachment second time that had been successful. And like all three efforts, it won't. It won't get a conviction, probably in the Senate. But this time he will be a lot of office, so it's sort of petty and vindictive to try to twist the constitution into applying to people who are not presently in office. I also think that the impeachment trial, if not the impeachment itself, is kind of a fool's errand. That being said. At what point do you put Trump as complicity in the events of Wednesday, the sixth of January a little a lot, not at all. Uh, somewhat if I could use that term, because, uh, it's clearly that that they were breaking in they the small, small number of rogue Trump supporters. Whoever they were, they were breaking in the capital while he was still speaking. But it was naive of him to think that bringing 100,000 plus people to Washington. Just two weeks before the inauguration, when the electors had already been certified, and there's nothing in the Constitution. That really says Mike Pence has a chance to overturn. He's a recorder. That's the office that he holds in that regard. The electoral college. There was no way he was going to overturn that election. And yet he gave, I think Enthusiasm to people that think they could. And there's where's culpability is did he incite the riot? No. Did he Do something like Chuck Schumer did go to the Supreme Court and tell people that the people inside conducting business in the courtroom were gonna reap the whirlwind. No. Did he say they won't know what hit them? No, they say, like Maxine Waters. Get in their face followed into the store. The gas station? No did he said, Like Nancy Pelosi, these things are just to be clear, Mr Hansen. So you're you're equating what Donald Trump did. In front of tens of thousands of people on the six with Maxine Waters saying, Get in their face if you run into him in the grocery store, But he did. He didn't do that. You mean you don't acquaint? You think Trump Trump didn't do nearly as bad of Ah deed as the reference there's the examples of reference them. Yes, if you look at the text if you read everything, don't Trump said. In isolation and you read all of their text. Kamala Harris about demonstrations should and will continue. Look at that, and then look what he said. The old Trump did not incite somebody to the degree that others had. Well, not to not to the level of illegal incitement. I agree with you there, but to the level of political impeachment. Absolutely. He did, Phyllis. I fundamentally disagree with that. But let's set it apart. I want I want to get back to your premise here. The efforts to mutilate the political corpse of Donald Trump are actually reviving him. I somewhat agree with you on that. I already said that I think this trial if they wind up having one in the Senate is a fool's errand. Can you elaborate on that? Just a little bit? Well, there's irony there because what hurt Donald Trump was with her streets. And that's what turned off swing voters, moderate Republicans, independents. They didn't They liked his policies, but they felt that he was gross crew. What include When he went to protect, you know, that's Nancy Pelosi, Robert and whoever itwas but once his wings were clipped, and he couldn't tweet anymore. And he was the platform which I don't think they should have done, Would they? But others such as Antifa or the Ayatollah Khamenei use it. But that's another story. Oddly or ironically, he had no mechanism to reply backwards, so he was mute. And why he was mute. They were directing all sorts of invective against him. And if you look at the pages of National Review, the bulwark dispatch, everybody was just obsessed with him. And the temperatures and the temple went way high. They know Nazi comparisons. Stanley McChrystal, It's very distinguished general said that his supporters were like Al Qaeda that followed a similar strongman. This attitude. Yeah, absolutely. You should look at that quote, he said. And you should sue could what James Comey said. Well, I know, but they're private citizens. For the most part, there's a difference between appointments, citizens spouting off, and the president cited states telling us that people to go overturning election I I see it distinctly different. You're incorrect. They're retired general is subject to the code of Military justice. That's a plaque in the code of military justice. There's no so he's out of line within those fine. He's out of line with this quote. I'm not going to sit here and argue about Stanley McChrystal today, but I've already said that there's a way to there's a way as a president is leaving office. If you wanted to teach him and one day we've never done that before you can, But we've never tried somebody after he's left office. You could have censored him. I think that would have worked. But look what we're doing. Now, we have now introduced serious articles of impeachment three times against the first term President. Nobody's done that in the 20th century. So Joe Biden is going to come in now, when the Republicans take the house, are they going to say you know what We want a special counsel to look to see whether Joe Biden really did get 10%. Whether he really is the big guy and it did he pay fact that's what they're gonna do. You say we never talked about the 25th amendment with George W. Bush? We never talked about with Barack Obama. That's all we talked about with Donald Trump. He was crazy. He had to take the Monterey All cognitive assessment test. The the acting director of the FBI was gonna wear wire with Rod Rosenstein. Okay, now Joe Biden loses cognitive strength and he will or we going to say this man has to take the 20 has to be subject to a test or we'll get in. Well, Delia can't professors cabin if they deem unnecessary, They will invoke the 25th. I have faith in that system. You know what, Mr Hanson? I have to leave it there for this visit, but I always appreciate reading your columns. And I really I really must say that I enjoy the reference to Homer's Iliad. Here in this most reefs. One will tweet it out to our listeners. I know a lot of my listeners will appreciate your column in your thoughts, and I appreciate you being on the show. Thank you. And good luck with your crop in that drought. Yeah. The president bears responsibility for Wednesday's attack on Congress by mob rioters Don't believe he provoked if you listen to what he said at the rally, Boy, That was a quick 1 80 Kevin McCarthy there.

The appendix is implicated in Parkinson's disease
"News. Now, there may be a connection between your appendix and your chance of developing Parkinson's. USA radio's Chris Barnes with details. Study finds that proteins believed to cause Parkinson's are present in everyone's appendix. But individuals who get their appendix removed early in life are then nineteen to twenty five percent less likely to develop Parkinson's later. The researchers now say they want to find a way to keep the protein from leaving the appendix and causing the illness. The study finds removing the appendix after the onset of Parkinson's. Doesn't cure it or slow it down. The study was done by the van Andel institute in Grand Rapids.

They learned that if they are civil in the other person's negative the other person wins and the further to the edges that they moved better for them. We've gotta look in the mirror as Americans and say, we're all complaining about it. The only way we. Fix. It is to change things with voting with demanding people more in the center, they may not be as exciting.

This is the best show. What's so funny about investing money? You ask the big show with Russell Sally hope to answer that top rated inciteful financial analysis. If you're looking for insightful, financial perspective on key market strategies. Keep looking this is Michelle. This is Russ and Sally. Television studios and sunny City, California a hundred and ten million broad fat. Don't forget. We're also on the radio. We're talking. Iheartradio. Local updates during the radio. Yeah. The reason we started start tie TV show. Started the top radio shows hammer you with news traffic weather today. Big show dot com. Take a look very quickly. Just once again at the chart of the Dow Jones because I want to spend a little bit of time. Just because sure. So you have a point. You got a two and a half week moving average ten weekly blue line. That you see trending down. Here is a ten day moving average Redline, right? There is a fifty two and a half weeks crossed paths crossed paths. It's a technical indicator saying that the world is going to come to an end. On the bridge, and you should start investing in things like street, Canada's personal turns cryptocurrency, no, I mean, this is this is this is where you see the emotions in the market is to steer ingredients. Fine. No, fundamental reason for the market crash other than a couple companies have bad earnings what it's really top heavy. We we've had. Oh, I don't know. I'm going to say twenty five hundred updates overall. I mean, I know we've we've got a couple of pullbacks. But overall we've been we've been on a town this market and we've hit support levels here. You can see the same support back in may and June a little bit in July. We touched on it for the day. But the problem is is that now every new low is lower than the previous slow. Okay. You only hope you can show is the very bottom. There's so cast the cost later. It's cheap. Now, get the pool. But here's what I have to warn because something is cheap. Doesn't mean. It's not going to get cheaper confirm that with me. Because these are things are now. You gotta be careful. But this is the difference between term investing long term. I mean, I'm new technician. But if I'm looking at a chart like that minds usually a little longer term. I have just a fifty fifty zone. We we looked at. We're looking at a six months. Television. So, but if you look at what are you looking at forty quarters, he'll look at like ten years years, absolutely. Jerry, pull up that one chart that shows when we went from two thousand nine hundred thousand sixteen is exactly what you're talking about. If you take a fifty thousand foot. It's it's not as panicking, smooth Salat. The other part of this thing too. Is that when you see a thousand point drop over two days? Look at that. There's two thousand nine hundred two thousand sixteen you take it back. That's looks pretty good. Start doesn't. To hone in on Twitter. Terrifying. I was to go. So the long story short is Christina zorich. I'm gonna give you a cell phone number. So. We're not gonna do that. Feel scared. So how'd you guys handle in? Your phone's ringing off the hook and days like the last couple of weeks, something they don't because you're drained. Your clients. And the a lot of them have been investing for so long that people understand the elderly with you. I. People understand this is what the market does long-term investors. We say, we're investors not traders for the long term. So well, by the way, stock market corrections. Don't always mean a bear. Mark all bad news. That's a big piece of sometimes it's healthy. You take some money on the table. Sometimes strategically for me, personally, if I don't do a lot of day trading. My individual stocks. Senator I'm gonna take that money off the table. Over the course of several months, if it goes up ten percent of a not a long-term holder or something like that. I usually take everything back to the kospi philosophy because I'm a little more risk than my time. Looking at a computer, that's probably not the philosophy of long-term by and and it's not so explain to us because we haven't talked about the titans. We'll flash now. Talking about the long-term holder versus the trader because there's there's two philosophies long-term holders win every time. Although the traders way more excited about yes. The trader may have a little more fun in the short term is also a lot more agony. I think you know, when the markets are going down, you know, the the long-term investors gonna look at, you know, deep fundamentals of a company, we're going to pick a broader asset allocation fixed income versus equity that we think is appropriate. You know for your stage in life your retirement goals. All those exist is a multi year process. It's not a matter of months or days or weeks. We're looking at really long term. This is the return of volatility. We haven't seen volatility like this for a while exciting since earlier this year it hasn't been that long. October ten months ten months of sleeping giants. Yes. Yes. Philosophy where if you buy today, you keep it if you wouldn't buy today, you pull it out of your portfolio. You do that every technical. Revisit every year, depending on your quarterly. I mean, I'm looking at things more often. Sometimes we do. So we have some tactical equity portfolios where we'll have a specific dividend stocks or whatever, and we'll have a specific allocation for each sector and reach stock, and as they move we we rebalanced so we go back to like, you're saying whatever the initial allocation was. The other thing too is you know, sometimes selling selling because the market runs on these emotions yesterday. Yeah. People get scared and they're going to jump out, and they don't take that fifty thousand foot view. How do you guys do that? By the way is a money manager. Two and the walls are Romans Romans burning and you're sitting. She was a robot. Do they teach your psychological training on how not to jump off the cliff everybody, hold her do study behavioral investing? I mean, we have this incredible incredible research team at UBS. So there we have this constant stream of research, and we're always educating ourselves also about how to manage your emotions as an investor too, much info and not enough gut. You know, I don't think it's ever much info. I think there's so much out there. I think it's all she uses paralysis by analysis, and you're not you're missing. Sure. What are you guys? I don't I don't wanna say what are you guys looking at? But anybody here to talk about specific sector you wanted to him. Yes. So oncology, our research team put together what they call longer term investments team. So they're saying beyond market cycles. Maybe multiple market cycles. Are these mega trends like population growth, aging and longevity the world getting cancer? And the fact that the longer you live in more likely, you are to get cancer muzzle invested your sickness us. Cancer therapy right now is a hundred billion dollar business. Okay. And they're saying that the incidence of cancer is going to outstrip the population growth by factor of three to one. So there's opportunity there and a lot of people that say they want to align their portfolios the misery index. This is like you don't like by shorting stocks betting against anything. Right. Bad for the company. But honestly, you're talking about something that you can actually capitalize you can capitalize. And you can also encourage this. You know, the increase in the excessive ability of these treatments the affordability of these treatments. The cancer trends are going faster and higher in the emerging markets where people don't have access to healthcare like we do. So so my question about those type of companies always look at a million companies that are in clinical trials. Let's say. Clinical trials is getting close. But you're still a couple of years out. Is that is that isn't that still a risk? The fact that they may never hit. So it's definitely risk in this. Pressure medicine. Here's a new protocol Viagra. Hey, I'm not kidding. Sometimes that happens. But that doesn't happen all the time. Clinical trials, and they never ever make. This won't surprise you. When we're putting together a c Matic portfolio like this. We're going to recommend stocks across the spectrum of what stage of clinical trials do they have the FDA approval yet? Are they going to market how how commercialized they become? And as a sector is this is this something new for you guys are always been involved in the biotech, we have. But, but I think just in a broader way, this is more kind of sustainable responsible investing focused on on the team specifically among college. You know, we I met you Christina Guston, by the way from UPS, and she's she's a regular on the program when you first came to us, we did this would be a perfect millennial investment millennials are one of the leaders and asking us for these socially responsible, investing themes. This is something that they call it socially responsible. What they're really saying. Hey, my parents are dying. The big little sales. A little bit more money when they want. I just wanted to go to a doctor right now, they want strategies that are aligned with their values. They wanna have meaning in their investments. So a way to do that is by improving healthcare, Arthur, relentless investing more. They're saving. I'm getting more investors now. Yeah. The top. But they're willing to take. Yeah. Christina.
