Good morning, good afternoon, good evening wherever you are in the world.

It's time to get out on the high wire.

It's been a wild week as always watching the news.

There's all sorts of stories and I actually had the opportunity I was visiting with my dentist.

I went out to dinner with my dentist.

Yes, I hang out with my dentist.

I don't just hate them.

But I was out with him and a couple of his friends and they were fairly conservative.

And this discussion came up that Vladimir Putin, who were seeing in the news all the time

and they were saying, who re-elects a guy like this?

Why is Russia re-electing this madman?

And I said, are you kidding me?

Vladimir Putin is the greatest thing that's happened to Russia in decades.

As far as I remember, I mean the last 10, 20 years, we never even heard about Russia.

Once the USSR collapsed and they just sort of slid into what appeared to me growing up

as a third world nation, maybe a second world nation, but nobody cared.

They weren't in the media.

But then all of a sudden, now every time you turn on your television, it's a Russian spy

story or Trump is working with the Russians or Trump and Russia are about to start a war

with each other, which is what was in the news just last week when we started watching

missile testing.

So I want to talk about this.
