This is very unusual when you hear a deep seek, when you hear somebody come up with something.

We always have the ideas.

We're always first.

So I would say that's a positive.

That could be very much a positive development.

Instead of spending billions and billions, you'll spend less and you'll come up with hopefully the same solution.

It's Tuesday, January 28, 2025, and welcome back to Goodfrey. the same solution.

It's Tuesday, January 28th, 2025, and welcome back to Goodfellows, a Hoover Institution broadcast,

examining social, economic, political, and geopolitical concerns.

I'm Bill Whalen.

I'm a Hoover Distinguished Policy Fellow slash moderator.

I'd like to introduce you to the stars of our show. That would include former presidential national security advisor, Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster,

and making his long-awaited return, the grumpy economists himself, John Cochran.

John, I turned to you.

I had several very distraught friends asking where you were on the last show.

It seems when John Cochran is not in this show, people's universes are fundamentally unsettled. So how are you, my friend? I'm fine. Thank you. I had a tiny little

surgery in my tongue, which meant I couldn't speak for a week, which for me is just an unmitigated

disaster. But let me say a little vote of thanks for modern medicine. Even tiny little routine things are life changing for our perceptions of life.

So if you ever think you want to go back and live in a Victorian novel, think twice.

Okay.

So HR thought maybe we could do five minutes on every show talking about various medical ailments,

but that kind of be a depressing segment of the show.
