About three minutes into this one we get on the line with Alex Plitsas to talk about the appointment of General James Mattis for Secretary of Defense. We talk about everything from the General's character to his experience, and what this means for the day-to-day operations at the Pentagon. The conversation goes on to cover Carrier, trade, and some of President-elect Trump's recent appointments. I was also predicting that Alex would want to get back to working at the DOD now that the leadership is being corrected...was I right?Then we move on to talk a little bit about the wisdom of Mexico's shamans. Great time tonight.
