24 is tough. That's obviously.
There is an argument to be made that that level of devastation and death is worse than you talking to someone on your podcast.
There is an argument to be made that starvation and stuff like that and people dying is worse than a podcast. But wait a minute. I wouldn't make it. Wait a minute before you say that. Have you been there? Right. That's a good point. Have you even? You haven't been? By the way, how is he in all these wars? Can I just go to wars? By the way, are you allowed to just go to wars? Yes.
You should at least have the courtesy of going there. Can I just go to wars or do I have to come back and say what people want me to say about the wars? Can I go to the wars and have my own opinions or do I have to have the opinions? Not if you want to go back. That's right. That's right. It's very interesting, this war tourism. How do I get on this war tourism? I'd like to go to the Ukraine.
I want to go. I want to go to all this war tourism. Do you have any awards that they can melt down and make bullets out of? Joe, think about this. Do I seem like a guy that has a lot of awards?
I don't know where they're sending those YouTube plaques.
But I like this idea of war tourism. I like the idea of going to a war and then coming back having a very black and white view. Yes. I've been there. I get it. And I know. And interesting. Okay. I like that. I like that.
There's a lot of people. It gets very murky. Most people I know that have been to war have a very murky, complex view of things. But it is good to go to a war and then come back and be as sure as you were before you came. You don't have to go very long. No, you go for an hour.
It's a lunch.
It's lunch on the front lines. Put on a flak jacket that says press. Tea on the front lines and then you come back and you have all the talk. Yeah. And if you're on the right side, you probably don't get shot. Yeah, that's a good idea. Well, there doesn't seem to be a ton of danger for a lot of these people going to these wars. They seem fine.
Yeah. No, I'm going to go. I'll go to any war and anything you want. So if you want to pay for me to go to a war, I will come back and I go, I saw the Houthis. They're terrifying. They are terrifying. Any war you want. And by the way, any country, if China wants me to, you know, I'm doing it. I'm doing it. Are you going to Moscow? I would love to go to Moscow.
And I said to my friend, Anna Hashin from the Red Scare podcast, I said, should I go to Russia? She goes, you're spiritually Russian and maybe you won't leave.
I can see you eating caviar with flip flops. Smoked fish. She goes, it might. Smoking a cigarette on a yacht. She goes, it might be for you. Listing to people's moral justifications for all kinds of things. I see your point. I get it.

Right. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know what those yachts are. It's a great question. What happens to those yachts? Those very luxurious... That was the first problem I had. Obviously... It's a tragedy, the whole Ukraine war, but I thought, frankly, going around and taking these oligarchs' boats, I was against that.
A lot of them had nothing to do. They just earned money in Russia and they were like, all right, we're going to sanction everybody. We're going to confiscate everything. And it's like, okay.
