All of the companies in the battalions were under strength, as well as the battalions were under strength. And with the troops that were, the Marine troops in Philippines and our troops from Shanghai, we made a pretty sizable regiment. We got up to about a third battalion, the beginning of a third battalion. And so we went out into the field and we took our skiffy shirts off and we dyed them with coffee to make them less conspicuous hanging in the bushes where they ride them, you know. And we slept on the ground and lived up above the beaches and expecting that the Japanese might make landings there at Alangapu. They didn't choose to do that. They landed for the north.


Hello and welcome back to the channel. I'm your rabbit. As you can see we have the number generator up We're doing another random car random check generated video today So make sure you follow me and all social media all to find the station box below. Let's get to it So we do have 11 to 402 for the tracks. We're gonna hit this a bunch of random times And so we get to a track that we do we're gonna let it go 235 So 235 on the track list is AC DC ah It's a fast track. So we're gonna download that because I don't think I actually have that one. So car we have one 11 through 112 we're gonna hit this button and see what random car we get 106 so 106 is iRT Nissan PS 13 I mean, I do like myself a good s13 So we're gonna download that one and we're gonna run the s13 at this track and See where we're at. So let's get these installed on here AC DC and Then the s13 iRT, so let's go take a look at the car real quick iRT s13 So it is a very big winged s13 and Definitely like the styling of you know Big wing gang, you know forest wagon all that stuff So we have that s13 if my content manager would like to load because you know for some reason there we go So it is a right-hand drive s13. Looks like we do have some Different paint schemes and stuff which we will decide which one we're gonna run here I'm feeling the I'm feeling that one with the blue wheels. So now we also need to get that ADC track on the lock So we're gonna go to single and we're gonna go AC DC. There it is So it looks I do do remember having the open one, but this one looks like it's the short So we're gonna go there So we're gonna go full drive. So we're gonna get the wheel cam and everything turned on and we're gonna go full send So like I said random a generated car and random generated track, so I think this is a street track I have driven in one of these before This car is so quiet. We're gonna have to bump up our master So that we can actually hear the car not a word Is that steering wheel light up the steering wheel does light up when you turn it on that's interesting All right, well full send on this can drive us in first and third It's kind of track control it does Definitely to make sure track shows off on the car some street drifting Going on right now This car definitely needs to be up in the high revs in order to keep going probably should adjust the gearing because Seems like the gearing super strong out right now Yeah, the gearing is really strong out. We're gonna run this I would sit first Before we make any type of adjustments, oh We did oh that's hard it All right, so let's go back to pits and check the gearing because I feel like the gearing is set up so high on this And that's probably what we need to oh, yeah, okay We we need to oh wow, okay, so that you keep final gear issue set extremely weird So I think we're gonna just have to make our own gear issue here But I'm all it uh, yeah, we're gonna have to kind of make our own Gear set on the car. That's a little weird For me but We'll make this work as best we can randomly picking numbers That seemed to be working because that's a Little different to me, so we'll do it that way and now we'll see how it works Now we have a little bit better gear stack You gotta make sure the track's still off Rock this a little bit of third person right now Look her pop So overall, I like this street course the street course would actually be very great for some tandems and May have to get some of the guys out and do some tandem to this car Or this track this car very weird to me how it had the gearing set up But then again, it might be set up that way for specific reasons for the person who made the car We got this little car pop With Monty this way down in the third Overall though the car is not bad at handling other than Except the gearing the way the gearing was set up a little bit different to me, but then again Like I said, this may be set up for a specific person that drives it Which is not me maybe we have a little roundabout, you know, we're gonna be doing this. I do love how this car sounds Love the styling of a big wing s-13 You guys know me and you know the channel you guys know of my love of s chassis And of course s-13s being one of my favorite chassis Honestly, don't think we have tires That might be overall issue No, if you guys are still enjoying these random Selected tracks and random selected cars. Let me know down in the comments I definitely enjoyed doing them because I get to drive all these weird different cars And drive all the tracks that I may never have driven before because I was Not intrigued by the name or just didn't know it existed this car fourth gear hero So make sure you guys follow me on all social media on Which is found in the description box below you kind of take that card to the wall So like I said, if you guys want to keep seeing this, let me know down below Thank you come back for another one big. Thank you to everybody for 30,000 Subscribers on the channel hit that milestone this weekend. So a big thank you to all you guys for continued support on the channel got a lot of cool things coming up here very shortly like I said with the last video and Other content and things like that. So as always, I thank you guys for coming back and watching People rabbit. I'll see you guys on the track


Listen to the danceable rhythms of Freddie Ritchie and his orchestra, the sweet and swingy songs of Connie Haynes, and that very familiar rolly-poly figure who's sweet mellow voice. Blisters. Los Angeles Railroad Station, back home again. Those zestful zanies and screwy stars. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. Welcome, Costello. Welcome home. Boys, good to see you. How was your train trip?  I was seasick all the way from Chicago. Seasick? How could you be seasick on a train? Oh, I was sitting between two waves. Well, everybody's glad to see you back, Costello. Hey, look at those five beautiful girls over there waving their handkerchiefs at you. Oh, they're waving their handkerchiefs at me? Yeah. That's the first clean laundry I've seen in two weeks. You thought I lost my place. Allow me to officially welcome you back to Hollywood. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Who are you, the mayor? No, just another bum. Oh, it's nice to be home among your friends. Yes, yes, yes. Say, tell me, Costello, how did you enjoy your visit up to your Uncle Marty's farm? Oh, it was great, Abbott. I spent the whole summer taking care of the pigs.  Well, I could understand that. Gee, Abbott, those little pigs were cute. But the big pig was afraid of them.   And then he fell down. Yes.  What about the crops? Did you have anything to do with the crops? They're nice. No, no, no. I mean, did you help with the planting? Did you sow the seed? Did I what? I said, did you sow the seed? I didn't even know it was ripped. No. Wait a minute. When I say so, I don't mean sow S-E-W. I mean sow S-O-W. So. For what? S-E-W. You see, you've got the sow the seed before you reap it. You sow it first and reap it later. Now what kind of talk is that? I used to reap my seed first and my mother would sow it later. Costella, when I say reap, I don't mean reap like rip when you rip.  Say reap like you reap when you rip. You don't mean rip like you rip when you reap. What do you mean? Look, I'll try to explain. I'll try to explain what sow the seed means. Suppose you were planting tomatoes. To what? Tomatoes. To what? Tomatoes. And them today. All right, all right, all right. So you're planting tomatoes today. Now when they grow up, what do you do with them? I eat them. Oh. Wait a minute. You can't eat all of them. Why not? They're my tomatoes. I'm going to eat them. Wait a minute. You can't eat all those tomatoes alone. Well, I don't eat them alone. Oh, that's better. I put some pepper on them.  You've got a whole feed of tomatoes.  So you eat what you can and what you can't eat, you can. Sure. I mean, any... Certainly. Only this time, spread what you're saying. All right, all right, now look. Make it good because we've got stiff competition. All right, all right, all right, all right. Look, look. You've got all those tomatoes. Now you eat what you can and what you can't eat. You can. I can what? What you can. I can what I can. That's right. Look, I'm willing to forget the whole thing, whatever. Now you don't. I'm trying to tell you that you don't eat... Let's go back to Soda Reap. Now listen. Wait a minute. Now we're not going back. We'll stick to the tomatoes. I'm just trying to tell you that you can't eat all the tomatoes. You can only eat what you can and what you can't eat you can't. You know what? There's only one way to settle the whole thing. How is that? We'll throw away all the tomatoes and eat the can. Just tell her you're impossible. But let's forget about it. Come on, let's... Hey, wait a minute. By the way, did you make any money on the farm? Yeah, I'm... Here's my paycheck. 75 dollars. Hey, that's fine. Just give me the check and I'll sign your name on the back and deposit the check in my bank. Oh, you can't do that. That's against the law. You can't... You can't send... Sign my name on a check. That's fraud. You... You... Yeah, no... No, no, you mean... No, no, no, you mean... You mean forgery. Forge. Forge. Oh, forge. Yes. Oh-ho! That's what me and my girl made last night. You made forge? You made forge? We made forge last night. What are you talking about? We made truck... Talk sense. ...with walnuts. Look, all right, look. Listen, Mo. I have a perfect right to sign your check. Now, as your partner, remember, I have power of attorney.  Give me that check, and I'll cash it and take my share. I wouldn't do that if I were you, Abbott. Why not? Because if you take my money, you're going to wind up in a can. And when you're in a can, you can't eat, and you can't tan. Not even what you can, why are you in a can? I welcome home to Abbott and Costello, and for your listening pleasure, Freddie Ritch and his orchestra play the nation's favorite tune, I'll Walk Alone. You've got $75 you made on the farm. We're going to find out what people are going to buy when the war is over. Yeah.  How can you invest money in neck and... Oh, come on, look, we'll make a house to house canvas. Canvas? Yes. You mean we're going to make tents for people to live in? Of course not. People don't live in tents. How about the people on Tent Street? No, no. Never mind. Hey, we'll start with this big house right here. Now ring the bell and ask them what they want to buy most when the war is over. But Abbott, look, there's a sign on the door. What does it say? It's a swing-shift welder. Day sleeper. Do not disturb. It means you. Police. I wouldn't mind it, but he's got police all underlined. Oh, come, come, come. Pay no attention to the sign. Go ahead and ring the bell. I know, but I... I... ring the bell. Okay. Well, no answer. He ain't home. Let's go. Come here. Come here. Come here. Go ahead and ring that bell. Go on. Okay, okay. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Can't you read that sign? Why, you fathead? I got a good notion of break every bone in your body. Just a minute. Just a minute, brother. I dare you to strike my little friend. Yeah, you heard him. Yeah. I dare you to strike his. Come on. Pick yourself up, you powered. Hey, wait a minute. Look, there's a kindly-looking woman going to the house next door. Go ahead. Now speak to her. How do you do, madam? Well, come in, Mr. Costello. You cute little snuggle bug. I've always been one of your greatest admirers. A young girl. But I wasn't on a screen when you were a young girl. They used magic lanterns. No, no. No, no, no, no. Quiet. Magic lanterns. All right. All right. Quiet, please. What do you know? All right. Quiet, Costello. Lady, we just like to find out what you are going to do when the war is over. What? Ask you one question. The answer is yes. Abbott, let's go back to the welder's house. That's the first time I ever slammed the door in my own face. And listen, Abbott, I ain't knocking on any more doors. No, no. Don't be silly. Look, Costello, we still don't know what to invest your money in. Let us try one more house. Come on. Hey, look, Costello, it's our old friend Kitzel. My friend Costello here is looking for a good place to invest his money for post-war security. Now you're talking my language, if that's possible. For $100, I'll take you in my clothing business as a senior partner. But I've only got $75. Coming, Junior. Just a minute, Mr. Kitzel. First, we've got to know what kind of clothes you made. Well, now, right here over my arm, I got a coat that I just now finished for Fiber McGee. And you know something with this suit? I'm giving you three of charge, three pails of suspenders. I don't wear suspenders. Well, how do you keep up your pails? My stomach establishes a beach head, and the rear guard holds it. Oh, come on, Costello. We're wasting time. Just a second now, boy. You haven't seen all my stock yet. Why I got your toothpicks, candlesticks, and all kinds of knock-knicks, freezers, freezers, and powder for your beezers, door knobs, corn cups, and rubber plugs for best pops? I'm po-po to you. Lovely Connie Haynes, the singer of the season's most popular tunes, Swing On A Star. Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moon, beam poem, and a jar. Suffer anything you hear.  And by the way, if you hate to go to school, Remi Rude, but if you don't care, a feather or a fig. The orchestra played your own current's lovely hit song, Long ago and far away. Settle down and go to sleep. What's the matter with you? I don't know, whatever. I can't sleep, Abbott. I'm worried about how to invest my money. Oh, that's ridiculous. Just look at you. You're learning this.   Oh, they are? Give me the mirror. Hey, what do you mean, Abbott? My eyes ain't all bloodshot. They're not? No, only the whites. Listen to me, Castello. There's only one way to settle this. Tomorrow morning, we're going down to the bank and invest your $75 in war bonds. I got enough war bonds now. You can't have enough bonds, Castello. Bonds mean security for you and your family. Just think, you put $75 in a bond now, and in 10 years, it's worth $100. Abbott, I think you got something. Sure. I'm gonna go right down and fight bonds with the dope. That's the way to talk. And now you can go back to sleep with tranquility.  Yes. What's the matter? You want to sleep with me anymore? No.  How about those guys? I'll have a lot of money in 1954. Ladies and gentlemen, we take you into the future. The time is 10 years hence, the year 1954. The scene is the futuristic, prefabricated air-conditioned home of Luke Astell. The mother speaks. If you'd be darling, tune in on the television set.  Ah, scopes again! That's no way to talk about your Uncle Bud. Now, go ahead and turn on the program. Good evening, folks. This is Ken Niles bringing you the 197,000 broadcast of the current 1954 series featuring those two old jolly men, Bud Abbott and Blue Castello. Look at you, Castello. Well, where have you been? Talk sense. You realize I'm trying to organize a baseball team? Yep. Yep. Yep. I finally got them together. Fine, Jimmy. Yeah, but the players nowadays, the players nowadays surely have funny names. For instance, who's on first? Who is? Yes. What? No. What's on second? That's not the program. Working late at the office, his work has been piling up on him. But I thought he just hired that new redheaded snuff, didn't he? Yes, I think I'd better. After all, it takes me 10 minutes to fly from Hollywood to Denver. Futuristic prefabricated air-conditioned residents of Mr. and Mrs. Castello? Yep. I am Mr. Blank from the bank. Back in 1944, Mr. Abbott and Mr. Castello purchased a number of war bonds.  Oh, isn't that wonderful, Uncle Bud? It sure is. Yeah, Uncle Bud. Now you can get that mink to pay you what he's wanted. Now, if you'll just sign the bonds on the back, I'll give you your money. There's my signature. There you are. There's mine, and I'll also sign for Castello. Dad! And now, as you remember, the little boy here is the beneficiary on these bonds, so we'll have to have his signature. Oh, of course. I won't sign. Time?  The way you've been acting lately, I don't know what's gotten into you. What's the matter with you? Oh, Uncle Bud. Snap on the peek-a-scope screen, fuse at the back door.  Did I? Yes. Just in time, Castello, this man here is here to pay us the money on those war bonds that I tucked you into buying ten years ago. And you're from Cupid who refuses to sign the bond. Oh, yeah? Be in the bedroom and get him a sound thrashing. Oh, I can't do that. I can't whip my son. Why not? I'm playing both parts. And in one part it might revolve. You know the old saying, spare the rod and spoil the child. But my cut is... Oh, you're daddy wants the money for you. He wants you to have a career and a fine education. If you'll sign the bonds, we'll give you all... Folks, you've made a wise decision in turning the money over to the boy because you know, if anything should happen to the little fellow, all the money goes to the survivors. Get it? Well, good night, folks. Good night, you little... Well, Lou, you heard what the man said if anything happens to Cupid. All the money goes to the survivors. Do you get it? Yeah, I get it. He was a good man. Told my friend. Thanks, Ken. Good night, folks. Good night, folks. And I want to say good night to little Eunice in the hospital in Pittsburgh. Get well quickly, honey. Get well for Abbot and I. Good night.


Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE. Covering Dell Technologies World 2018. Brought to you by Dell EMC and its ecosystem partners. Welcome back to theCUBE. We are live on day one in Las Vegas of Dell Technologies World. I'm Lisa Martin with Dave Vellante. And we have a couple guests joining us now. We've got Ria Barrett, the VP of Product Marketing for Data Protection at Dell EMC. Welcome back to theCUBE. Thank you. And we've also got KJ Johnson from FieldCore.  Welcome, KJ. Thank you very much. So KJ, we'll start with you. Tell us a little bit about FieldCore. I know you're a GE company, but what is it about FieldCore that you guys do that makes you unique and how are you working with Dell EMC? Okay, so FieldCore is a global service provider in the power services sector. Our customers are governments in large countries. We service and build power plants all over the world. We're in the power generation business. So anything that generates power, that could be wind, it could be water, it could be traditional oil and gas, it could be nuclear, anything that generates power. Basically what FieldCore does is we service it and we keep the lights on around the world, especially in, we're 92 countries. So other countries don't have the infrastructure that the United States has and experience outages a little more frequently than us. So our job is to get the power back on as quickly and as efficiently as possible. So last fall in the U.S., we were slammed with very, a lot of natural disasters, including Hurricane Irma. You guys at FieldCore had a critical situation last fall when that hurricane struck. Tell us about that and how working with Dell EMC Technologies, you were able to recover. Okay, so last year they changed the forecast on Hurricane Irma from coming up the east coast of the state to coming up the west coast and they were projecting it to hit the Tampa Bay Area, which put all of our production systems like directly in its path. So with them projecting the storm to hit us within about three to four days, we weren't prepared for it. I was on a call with all of the directors and they asked me what was our level of preparedness for this storm? So I told them that as far as data protection, we had replication, that was fine. We were replicating all of our SAP Oracle databases, all of our email via exchange and file systems to our data recovery center that was in Atlanta via Dell EMC Recovery Point Appliances. So that was fine. We had a recovery point objective of less than two minutes. So we could go back two minutes and be up and running. The problem was, had the storm hit us and we had to then throw over and go live at our DR facility in Atlanta because Tampa was down, we wouldn't have any way to have backups during that time that we were live. So that was a gap that I identified. They subsequently asked me, is there something that could be done in three days? Got any magic beans? Yeah, exactly. So I'm going, hmm, I'll do everything in my power to make something happen. So basically I got on the phone and called my Dell EMC data protection rep, Matthew Sadler, and he was actually at a Dell management bootcamp in Boston, I believe, at the headquarters. And he actually took my call. He snuck out of the meeting and answered the call, which was an all day meeting, which was that enabled us to do what we did. He offered a solution that we could actually use virtual appliances because we had not rolled out our DR equipment yet. Wasn't even scheduled to be delivered for two weeks. So he showed up the licensing. He called a sales engineer who got in touch with me. His name was Dominic Greco. He's based out of Pittsburgh, great guy. He lined up all of the resources. I got my resources together and we put a plan together and we actually had the project started by the end of that first day. Just another day at the factory. That's our customers call us and we answer. That's how it works. So it's common scenario for you guys or I mean? I think we had an exceptional team on the account. So exceptional teams always make a huge difference. And I think in this case, we definitely had a great team. And I think one of the things that KJ talked about is how flexible the software defined data protection approach can be. And I think sometimes people think of us as an infrastructure company, infrastructure meaning hardware predominantly. But our data protection capabilities are just as robust on the software defined data center front. So I think the flexibility of being able to do DR and put in place a DR environment that gave KJ all that flexibility is really a testament to the software capabilities. So can we just kind of review exactly what happened? So if I understood it correctly, you were concerned about the exposure on your remote site. You're going to fail over RPO of only two minutes. So you're going to lose maybe exposed to two minutes of data loss. You can live with that. Business understood that, you communicate it. But then you have no way to back up that fail over site. And so the team came in and what? You accelerated a DR project that was sort of in the pipeline or? Exactly. We had hardware that was scheduled to be delivered to Atlanta and be deployed within two weeks. But we didn't have the two weeks. Three days. So our DR facility was still running on a legacy product. And that wouldn't work for us because all of our production data was backed up to data domain and it's not interoperable. So we went with the virtual appliances and we deployed a virtual data domain or virtual Abelmar appliance running Dell EMC data protection software suite. And an NDP accelerator, I always have trouble with that one for our file systems. And by the end of the day, they were deployed and we were already starting the replication. So in this situation, do you fail over proactively or you just wait for the disaster to hit? What's the? Well, the thing was just to be prepared. So the storm was projected to hit Saturday. Day two was Thursday. And we convened a conference call and an indefinite conference call. That means I was going to be on it, all of Dell EMC's people were going to be on it until either we finished or the storm blew us away. So we monitored the replication all Thursday and by like 6.45 that evening, all of the data had replicated over to the DR. And the next day, the opposite closed early so people could go home and hunker down for the storm, look after their families and their property. And we kept the call going from home, but the data had finished by that evening and the storm hit started coming around midnight that evening on Saturday. So fortunately, the storm only hit us as a weak category one. So we never even had to throw over to it, but had it hit us to the category three, we would have been very much in trouble had we weren't able to accomplish that. So I wanted to get kind of an idea, KJ, in terms of what is the business impact that you've been able to achieve? You've obviously had to accelerate this part of your security transformation, which you were able to do. What's the business impact that your bosses and their bosses in the C-suite at FieldCore have seen as a result of being able to have the agility with Dell EMC to implement this so quickly? Well, some of the things that came into play with the setup that we had with Dell EMC, one was the data protection suite encompasses like everything, hardware, software, licensing, replication, it's all one suite of things. It's not a nickel and dime or add-ons or bolt-ons. It's one full protection suite. So the practice that we had, Matt said, you already have this package, there's nothing to buy. There was no charge for any of the resources rolling it out because we were on what's called a utility mode of billing. And it's basically, it's like instead of a CapEx expenditure where we buy hardware, we don't buy anything. They bring it out for free. They install it for free. As soon as we start backing up, okay, how much D-duplicated data do you have on a data domain? We'll bill you for it. And they send us a bill every month. So that helped us out. And you know the data domain efficiency quotient is just through the roof. It's one of the best platforms for D-dupe. So it really helps our customers, especially when you're talking about a utility-based model as well, that efficiency, that architecture, that really brings that to bear. What do you call this, utility model? This utility, it's the utility model. It's just one of our consumption models. It's the flexible consumption models that we offer across data protection software as well as our platforms. So it's a pay-by-the-drink? Yeah, absolutely. Now, I'm interested in the ripple effects. I don't know your business well enough, but it sounds like not only were you covered but had a category three hit, your customers, there would have been a ripple effect to your customers around the world. 92 countries, I think you said. Is that right or is this not a real-time business? Well, our users, the vast majority of them are field technicians. They're field service guys. They work on turbines. They work on boilers. They work on nuclear plants. They're out in the field. They work on windmills. So they're not very technical people, but all of the laptops that they carry and hook up to this equipment feeds equipment into our systems, and our systems can't go down. So the impact would have been pretty great had our systems been offline for any amount of time because when you're global, there's really no good time to be down. When I'm sleeping, there's people busting their butts in other countries in middle production hours, so. So the last question here, Ria, to you. On this theme of Dell Technologies' world of make it real, K.J., you've been a great job articulating how you've been leveraging your partnership as well as the technology to make your security transformation a reality. Ria, last question to you is there was a recent ESG study on IT maturity. Can you share with us some of the impacts there that you've seen and how it kind of relates to the field core in there? Absolutely, be happy to. So we just recently unveiled a study we did with ESG where we surveyed 4,000 customers, IT professionals over 16 countries, and it really had to do with the IT transformation maturity curve and their adoption. And one of the things that was really interesting is customer feedback or was that transformed companies that have gone through this massive IT transformation are perceived to be 16 times more innovative, be two and a half times more competitive, perceived as being two and a half times more competitive, and six times more apt to have IT as part of the business decision-making process. And data protection was one of the top areas of this transformation as well, because it's so critical. As data is moving out of the data center and becoming more distributed, we talked about the distributed core today, going to the edge with IoT and all of those types of applications, there's this massive amount of data moving out outside of the data center. So data is growing, it's moving out, and it's also becoming more and more critical for customers. So data protection, that recoverability, operational recoverability, disaster recoverability, cyber recovery are becoming more and more critical. And there was three things in the maturity curve on data protection. Transform companies are basically protecting data in five types of different applications. So they're not really looking at just physical protection, which a lot of legacy companies are still kind of stuck at physical and maybe virtual and starting to really do a lot more on virtual. These guys are looking at data protection across distributed environments. They're looking at public cloud. They're looking at hybrid cloud. They're looking at physical, virtual, so very comprehensive, so that was number one. Two is really self-service models. Transformed companies that have gone through IT transformation for their data protection have enabled application owners to be able to do self-service. So that has become a part of how they offer data protection. And the last one was really about automation and automated policies. So when you add a virtual machine, when you bring in a new system, how do you automatically apply policies so protection isn't something that needs to happen as a back-end consideration? And I think KJ talked about some of those things as well. And they're doing a self-service model as part of what they're rolling out as well as the automated protection policies. So I think they're well on their way to transformation and this is what makes it great in terms of the partnership we have with our customers. Well, thank you both so much for stopping by sharing. KJ, the great successes that you've had with that one very potent example. Rhea, thanks for stopping by and sharing with us that data protection continues to be hot, hot hot. And thanks for having us again. Thank you. Nice seeing you guys. Our pleasure. We want to thank you. You're watching theCUBE live at day one, Dell Technologies World in Las Vegas. Stick around, I'm Lisa Martin with Dave Vellante. We'll be back after a short break.


Dr. Carlson, he is here with Glenn Greenwald. Glenn Greenwald, they have become very close friends, associates, brothers-in-arms, you might even say. Glenn Greenwald is a real socialist, but he's also, you know, has certain populist views. He's also anti-war and was a skeptic, I guess, over the whole COVID thing. So he has gained a lot of supporters and farmed kind of the populist right. And he is, what did I want to do here? Yeah, he is, I guess, part of the populist right. My guess is that Glenn Greenwald would vote for Trump over Biden and so on. So I'm not going to play anything with Glenn Greenwald. Greenwald is basically, this is his show. He's interviewing Tucker Carlson. And this is Tucker Carlson's answer to a question about basically the economic views of the populist right. What are these views regarding the economics as they're held by the populist right? And let's listen to what Tucker, our friend Tucker Carlson, has to say. Whoops. Why is that? Seems like that's muted. Let's see. I think a lot of people have awakened to the now demonstrable fact that libertarian economics was a scam perpetrated by the beneficiaries of the economics. So libertarian economics was a scam. Libertarian economics, I assume by libertarian economics what they mean is free markets. It's a private property, respectful private property. It's, yeah, free markets. Libertarian economics is really free markets. When have those been tried?  Tucker used to be considered himself a libertarian not that long ago when it was convenient to be so. But when was it tried? Was Ronald Reagan a libertarian economics? Did we really deregulate everything? Is the government not involved in every aspect of our lives from an economic perspective? Is the government not everywhere? Is the government not engaged even today in industrial planning? Is the government not engaged in taxation and tariffs and manipulation of what we buy even under Reagan? Weren't there limits on how many Japanese cars could be imported? Didn't Reagan bail out Chrysler? I mean, when is this mythological time of libertarian economics? Now, he claims that now we are living through the consequences of libertarian economics. I mean, and they keep repeating this. Now, the reason I'm emphasizing this, the reason is that a lot of people listen to Tucker. This particular show with Green Guild World only has 39,000 views over the last four days. But Tucker is listened to extensively. Many, many, many Americans are now adopting the view. Many, many Americans who used to have a different view but are now adopting the view that the problems we have today in economics, the problems we have, the challenges we face today are a consequence of too much free markets, of too little state intervention, of too little statism. This is what Americans are internalizing. And this is what Tucker keeps reinforcing. And indeed, I think Donald Trump and I think many of the new commentators on the conservative nationalist, on the new right, keep emphasizing Reagan's free market policies have failed. Libertarian economics, no good. What we need is populist economics. There's another way for another name for populist economics that at the end of this segment, which I will not play. Glenn Greenwald mentions the fact that maybe Tucker Carlson is now a little bit of a socialist. Yeah, it's called socialism. That's populist economics. Helping out the poor, structuring industrial policy to help up the poor. How has that worked? All right, industrial policy is a massive failure everywhere it's tried. But it doesn't prevent for a variety of moral reasons and political reasons. It doesn't prevent the purveyors of statism and those who would want to appeal to a large array of people, particularly people in the lower middle class, in the working class. It doesn't prevent them from constantly hopping back to status policies that we know fail and blaming all our problems on. This is Tucker Carlson. This is the new right. These are the people you think should govern. And many of you think should be supported. According to them, of American people are free markets. Free markets. All right, let's listen a little bit more. That was 21 seconds of Tucker, six minutes of me. We're not going to get very far at this rate. That they were defending. So they created this whole intellectual framework to justify the private equity culture that's hollered out the country. That's my personal view. And I've seen it up close my whole life. So private equity culture hollered out the country. Complete nonsense, a private equity culture that has kept the economy, the US economy functioning. It's kept it growing. It's brought increased efficiency, increased productivity. It has actually enhanced American businesses. And it made it so that we live in a world in which unemployment is basically effective. Unemployment is zero. And where American companies are, to a large extent, the envy of the world, private equity culture is a culture of profit maximization, which means increasing efficiency, increasing productivity. Hullered out the country, what hollered out the country is the fact that conservatives, conservative people, left and right, sat around waiting for the same old, same old instead of innovating, instead of building new businesses, instead of getting on a bandwagon of new technologies, instead of changing with the times. What's destroyed the old steel jobs is not private equity. What's destroyed the old steel jobs is technology, competition. But people like Tucker Carlson, politicians like Trump and Biden and the rest of them, keep promising to bring the steel jobs back, that hollows out the country. That creates people sitting around waiting for the steel jobs to come back, waiting for their prospects to improve, rather than doing something to prove their prospects. That is the mentality of stagnation. That is the mentality that is destructive to America. It's a sitting around waiting rather than doing. And that is encouraged by those like Tucker, like Trump, like Biden, like Elizabeth Warren. I put them all together for a reason, because they all belong together, like JD Vance, like Manchin from West Virginia, who just complained about the sale of financial security reasons, the sale of US steel. Instead of looking backwards as they do, oh, went to 50s a wonderful time, instead looking to the future, a future of AI, a future of robots, a future of immense prosperity, all they can do is sulk and skulk about the fact that some people are making money by making America a better place to live, by making our businesses keep on working. And if we have a soft landing, and if we've survived the last few years with a decent economy, with people having jobs, you can credit a lot of that to private equity. Now, I know Tucker and Glenn would have liked the state to be bailing everybody out, would like the state to be guaranteeing everybody's job, would like the state to be running all those businesses. But this is why Tucker Carlson is and has been for years, but nobody listens to me, the enemy. I think it's a fair assessment. I think a smarter way to assess an economic system is by its results. So you can assign whatever name you want to the economic system of the United States. You could call it market capitalism. You could call it, I mean, you could call it a whole host Well, certainly calling it market capitalism would be a deception, because it is not market capitalism. It has elements of market capitalism here and there, like private equity. And it has, but even private equity is a lot of private equity success is by taking on debt that with the interest is tax deductible. Even there, it is a product of the mixed economy. But what we have is a mixed economy with heavy, heavy, heavy role of the state, heavy, heavy, heavy role of regulations, controls, taxes, manipulations, subsidies, tariffs, and on and on and on you go. So you can call them market capitalism, but that would be particularly coming out of the mouth of somebody educated and knowledgeable, like Taka Kalsen is, that would be plain and simple dishonest. It would be a lie. But lying is the way to achieve popularity. Lying is the way to achieve political power. And indeed, the results, yeah, the results are not good in the United States. They're better than in any other Western country, but they're not good. They could be a lot better. They should be a lot better. But the solution to getting this there is not to abandon the remnants of market capitalism as Taka would like, but to embrace them, embrace them consistently, and apply them consistently, and to get rid of the cronyism that he is demanding by demanding greater government involvement in the economy. Greater government involvement in the economy can only make things worse, not better. Different things, but I don't think any of that's useful. Those are boring conversations. I think you need to ask, does this economic system produce a lot of dollar stores? And if it does, it's not a system that you want. So the problem is dollar stores. That's the problem. Dollar stores where people find bargains, where people go and find cheap stuff, buying cheap stuff, which makes it possible for them to spend more money on other stuff. So we shouldn't let the market provide for people. Dollar stores have always existed in the United States. It's not like they didn't exist in the 1950s. They would just call it something else. I remember really, really, these really, really cheap stores that you could go to in the 1970s and buy stuff, basically, for a dollar, the equivalent of dollar stores. And that story, if I remember right, that was in Brookline, Massachusetts, a relatively wealthy place. But it succeeded because everybody likes a little bargain.  Why not? But this is Tucker's problem. The dollar store. Now, if he was complaining about poverty and he's using the dollar store to represent that, but it's not what he's doing. He's complaining about the very essence of bargain hunting and the fact that freedom, freedom of consumption, we still have some freedom in retail, freedom of consumption. The freedom of supply and demand in the world of consumer products, he's complaining about that, the fact that something has arisen to provide a service to people who want these kind of cheap stuff. Some of them are poor, some of them might be students who one day will be richer, some of them are middle class, some of them just want knickknacks, all kinds of stuff. Because it degrades people and it makes their lives worse. It degrades people and makes their lives worse to seek bargains? Really? How is that? I could get it if he was talking about TikTok, but he's talking about dollar stores. This is the complaint about capitalism, produces dollar stores, produces bargains. But isn't that, if you look at the nature of retail over the last 150 years, from the beginning, yes, there was a high end, but there was always a lower end to be able to satisfy efficiently, productively, cheaply, the needs of a lower middle class, the needs of a working class, the needs of the poor, so that they too could have fancy stuff. I mean, here he is sitting in his, I don't know what brand of sweater it is, but Tucker Carlson is a very wealthy man. He comes from a wealthy background. He comes from an elite society. He's sitting there making fun of putting down dollar stores. He's such a snob, a snob speaking for, for the downtrodden. I mean, is there anything worse? Is there anything less appealing than that? It increases exponentially the amount of ugliness in your society. And anything that increases ugliness, is equal. Ugliness? And it's just kind of, let's just start there. Is it the people that are ugly? Is it the stuff in the store that's ugly?  Tucker, I mean, everybody should be able to, it would be great if everybody could shop where you, you know, at Saxford Avenue and places like that. That would be amazing. And maybe one day we will reach that point if we allow for capitalism. Capitalism will make everybody richer. And one day everybody will be able to afford a Saxford Avenue. But they can't today. See, so the fact that some people can't, that makes the system bad? The system that has brought people out of poverty? The system that actually is creating economic growth in the United States and nowhere else in the world? Because it's not, it's being adopted here a little bit better than any elsewhere? I mean, is that really bringing ugliness to the world, dollar stores? So if it's such a good system, why do we have all these dollar stores? Because there's a demand for dollar stores and there's a need to be fulfilled. And because people like bargains and because yeah, there's still poor people in this country, relatively speaking. But you know, wouldn't it be cool if there were dollar stores all over the world and people who could get bargains all over the world? I mean, really? And the dollar store is the clear, I mean, it's not the only ugly thing being created in the United States, but it's one of the most common and it's certainly the most obvious. So if you have a dollar store, you're degraded. And any town that has a dollar store does not get better. It gets worse. And the people who live there lead lives that are worse. Again, I lived in Buckeye, Massachusetts that had an equivalent of a dollar store at the time. I don't think it got worse, I think it got better. You know, and actually today is probably one of the richest towns in the United States and probably still has some kind of dollar store. I mean, it's just... So, and the counter argument to the extent there is one, oh, they buy cheaper stuff, great. But they become more unhappy. How do they become unhappy about buying cheaper stuff? Now, there is a happiness problem in America, but is the dollar store the fault? Is the economic system the fact that there's too much freedom in the fault? Is that the problem? And the dollar store itself is a sort of symbol. What's a physical thing? It's a real thing. It's not just a metaphor, but it's also a metaphor for your total lack of control over where you live. Total lack of control for where you live? God, aren't they, really? So if you have a dollar store in your neighborhood, you should immediately be depressed because you don't have any control over where you live. You would never want to live in a neighborhood that has a dollar store nearby.  Ugly structures. Ugly structures. See, he wants all our small towns in America to have cathedrals in them. Is that the gist? I mean, so an efficient block structure so that you can sell products for cheap so that people can buy stuff and get a bargain and improve their lives and maybe go home and renovate their kitchen and maybe make their lives a little bit more beautiful because they saved money because they didn't have to buy stuff in a beautiful moderns, 5th Sacs 5th Avenue type store or an ancient cathedral. Is that it? You were a consumer, not a human being or a citizen.  Is consumption not necessary in order to be a human being? Is consumption not part of being a citizen? I mean, this is nuts. This is truly nuts. And this is the most influential public, what would you call it, in the media, public intellectual in the media today? Certainly on the right, the most influential, probably the more influential, period. And so again, I don't know what we call our current system, but its effects are grotesque. They're grotesque. It's wrecked. I've been here 54 years and I watch carefully. That's my only gift is I watch. And this has become a much uglier place. A much more crowded place. A much more hostile place. A much more crowded? Have you really traveled around the country, Tucker? Really? God. A place that cares much less about people. So whatever system that produces that outcome is a bad system. And you can call me whatever you want.  I don't care what you call me, actually. I'm beyond caring. Yeah, well, he is beyond caring. That's fine. So we'll call him the statist that he actually is. But it's more than that. He's dishonest. He knows much better. And look, there is a lot of ugliness in the world out there. A lot of the art that is supposed to be beautiful is part of that ugliness. The architecture, I would say, of the 1960s was far uglier than the architecture of today. I think the architecture today is much better than it was in the 1960s, block buildings, glass squares. There's a lot more attempt to make architecture more beautiful than there was in the 1960s when Tucker, I guess Tucker wasn't born yet, but maybe born at the end of the 60s. So I don't know what he's talking about. If anything, there's been an improvement over time in much of the public and much of the architecture that's, I don't know that there's been an improvement much in homes, but there certainly has been an improvement in public. And yeah, there's a lot of ugliness out there. There's a lot of decay. There's way too much poverty. There are way too many problems. I wish everybody did shop at Sex Fifth Avenue. But what is the solution? What is the solution? Is the solution more state intervention, more and more powerful unions? Is the solution more redistribution of wealth? Is the solution more central planning? What is the solution? I mean, you could say in many ways, a city like Copenhagen is a really pretty city in many ways, prettier than many American cities, although if you value skyscrapers, you're not gonna find them in Copenhagen. So do we want 70% or 50, 60, 70% marginal tax rates? Do we want everybody riding on bicycles even in the winter?  Is that what we want? Would that make him feel better? Are they no dollar stores in Copenhagen? I don't know. It's certainly more aesthetic than many American cities, particularly the bad parts of American cities. But what is the price one has to pay for that aesthetic beauty? And by the way, Copenhagen, Denmark, Sweden, less regulated than the United States. So in some parameters, more market capitalism than the United States is even. So what does he want? He doesn't know, and indeed he doesn't want to label himself because the one thing Tuck has given up on, and the one thing the entire right, particularly the new right has given up on when it comes particularly to economics, one thing they've given up on is on principles, complete negation of principles. All that matters is what works? Does that sound familiar? There's a philosophy relating to that, and that is pragmatism. So let's drive dollars stores out. Do you remember how many, what do you call it, pawn shops? I remember when I lived in Texas, Austin, Texas, in the 19, late 80s, early 90s, there were dozens of pawn shops. Now I liked the pawn shops because I would go there and buy stuff. I bought some of my stereo equipment in a pawn shop. I bought other stuff in a pawn shop. So I enjoyed pawn shop because there were always deals and opportunities there, but are pawn shops better than dollar stores, worse than dollar stores? Are they more pawn shops today, more dollar stores today, more now than they were in the 1980s? What are we talking even about? What we have today is pragmatism.  He is also, I think there's an element of nihilism. I mean, one of the things I find striking is how angry he started to look over the last couple of years, the frown he has, he has a constant look, that look of, I'm angry, I can't be fooled. I'm gonna see through you.


This is Pastor Vlad Savchuk at the center of life summer camp here in Washington State And I have a wonderful young man here who has a really amazing story to share of the goodness of God in his life Could you start out by telling us your name and what are you from? My name is Dan Knonahan. I'm originally from Ukraine, but currently live in Spokane, Washington And then could you tell us what was the problem that you were facing in your life? I had a hard addiction to alcohol, smoking and drugs And could you go into a little bit of detail of how addicted you were? How long have you had this addiction and how did it affect your life? Well, I've been addicted to smoking for about seven years. I've been addicted to alcohol for about five years and Drugs I've been doing for about three to four years. Okay, and how did these addictions affect your life? They caused many problems such as My family was turned against me my dad kicked me out three times out of the house and I was failing school.  How many classes did you or how many years?  So two years of high school you completely failed Yes, all because of this addiction. Oh all because of drugs and alcohol. Where were you in search of solution for this problem? I've tried Calling it cold turkey for a couple days at work. Then I went back to the same thing cold turkey Meaning you would try to stop on your own. Yes, and it would only last for a few days enough a few days You will relapse and go back. Okay, and so what happened a few years ago when? Evangelist Gary and Fiona came with the anointing water to the area of Spokane. What happened was it was around four years ago and My mom told me about it. I didn't know about it And she asked me out of respect to her to come there and just listen what they have to say so I came there and It was I thought it was a good treatment. I was a little bit buzzed in alcohol and Meaning buzzed meaning you were under influence. You were drunk. Yes, okay So I went there. I listened. I thought it was a good sermon So the next day I go to school to high school to see my friends And they asked me if I want to get a smoke or a beer and for some reason I told them that I'm quitting and They thought I was crazy. I mean For after doing it for so many years that I never gonna quit Did you actually try to use the drugs and smoking after you received the prayer? Like the next day well, I haven't received the prayer that night was just a sermon. Okay, but I Took a cigarette. I don't want to light it. But then I feel like I don't really want to smoke that which never happened before Okay, so just by sitting in the service you already felt like the desire for it was already being defeated in you You no longer had the desire before so you came for the next service. What happened then? Well, the next service I didn't even get invitation for anyone. So I just came there by my own will. Okay, and they start asking whoever wants to pray and start praying for people and I was sitting there started crying and asking God forgiveness for my sins and When their ultra cold was out and they called people to go to ultra cold I came out they sprayed the holy water and I started shaking and I Went back to my seat as I was told and I was just crying for at least couple yeah a couple hours Wow So when the evangelist called for the prayer with you know into water you came up there You started to already be even before that you already started to getting convicted You start to shake and you were crying and as a result of that what started to happen next few months after that? As a result the same day the same night. I did not feel any addictions as in I would Probably smoke at least two packs a day that that same night. I knew I was free So I don't want no alcohol no drugs. I couldn't even say a bad word. I thought it was bad as in yes So you've seen a dramatic change in your heart in your life and now four years later You're serving God you're at this camp and you're walking off the God. How is your life right now? Right now. It's wonderful. I'm a leader of this camp. I have never thought I'll get this far in life Uh just about four or five years ago thought I'd be laying down in a ditch dead so Wow, and what is your advice to people who are maybe facing similar problems or maybe parents who have Children who are facing similar problems. What would you tell them? Uh, one of my advice is if your kid is doing something like what I was doing Definitely pray for them. That's definitely how it's got to bring them to christ and don't ever Kick them out.  I thought that I was never going to get forgiven And uh, what about those who are facing the same situation that you were facing maybe addicted Yeah, those people. I mean you guys still have a chance You guys just go to christ. He'll forgive anything. He can free from anything I've been in such Deep holes that nobody thought nobody believed in me and I didn't believe myself, but God's mighty god He can do anything amen amen all the glory goes to Jesus We thank you so much for sharing your story and thank you so much for watching this in jesus name
