Say goodbye to your credit card

rewards. Greedy corporate megastores, led by

0:04

Walmart and Target, are pushing for

0:06

law and Congress to take away

0:08

your hard-earned cash back and travel

0:10

points to line their pockets. The

0:12

Durbin Marshall Credit Card Bill would

0:14

enact harmful credit card routing mandates

0:16

that would end credit card rewards

1:55

everyone. Welcome to another episode of

1:57

IZON. I'm Andy Billburn. With me is... Jason

2:00

Lyons and D tacos and we're gonna jump

2:02

right into it today Because

2:05

much to your relief we have a

2:07

limited amount of time and there's there's

2:09

a couple of really big news stories

2:12

D what do you want us to start off

2:14

on here the the Moscow shooting? Yeah, I mean

2:16

that's So I

2:18

got some fresh gouge on that you want

2:20

to hear please? Yeah, cuz that's dominating Okay,

2:23

so This is quite

2:25

literally breaking. I hate to use that term,

2:27

but this is from Russian

2:30

Telegram accounts in Moscow

2:34

I would argue and I would venture if

2:36

we release this today that no one else

2:38

has all of the information that I'm about

2:40

to Give that's it how

2:42

it sounds a dreadful both. So let's go ahead. All

2:44

right, so The

2:46

the death toll a anyway back backtrack

2:48

for a moment. Okay, there was an

2:50

attack on a Russian on the Russian

2:53

Crocus City Hall in

2:55

Moscow. It's like this massive with

2:57

the large kind of Emporium includes

3:00

an Auditorium there's a train

3:02

station there. I mean it's a it's

3:04

a showpiece Kind

3:07

of location within Moscow for for

3:09

the young and and

3:11

so everything what happened for suspects

3:14

Walked into the foyer of the

3:16

auditorium and they started shooting

3:18

interestingly enough. They wish there was a concert

3:22

And they walked in about just as the

3:24

concert was beginning and they started shooting

3:26

at late comers and in the in the lobby And

3:29

they walked into the auditorium itself. As

3:32

I said death toll around 149 Russians

3:34

expect that to rise Several

3:37

hundred wounded Russian special

3:39

forces were involved Despite

3:42

though footage shown at the site

3:44

No, gunman were killed or arrested

3:46

at the site and I'll get

3:48

this. This is where it gets

3:50

crazy The Russians are

3:52

reporting that they've arrested for

3:54

terrorists in the Bryansk

3:57

region of Russia. Okay I'm gonna

3:59

help you guys out here because I had

4:01

to look it up. That is on the Russian-Ukrainian

4:03

border. So what they're

4:05

claiming, think about this, all right, they're

4:07

claiming that terrorists were fleeing back towards

4:10

Ukraine, right? And

4:12

that they captured, okay, one of them is

4:14

saying that he was paid half a million

4:16

rubles to carry out the attack. Not saying

4:19

by whom, but you see what I mean,

4:21

I mean, the Russians clearly are kind

4:24

of doing the Dora piece here of laying

4:27

out the breadcrumbs saying, well, look, we don't

4:29

know who did this, but

4:31

they're trying to escape to Ukraine. At

4:33

the same time, the Islamic state is

4:35

saying, no, wait a second, we did

4:37

it, we did it. US intelligence estimates,

4:39

US intelligence saying they don't know for

4:42

sure. Islamic State seems like a safe

4:44

bet, but there are several other potential

4:47

groups, you know, I mean, remember, Russia

4:50

has ongoing counterinsurgencies and

4:52

not just in Chechnya,

4:54

but Dagestan too, both

4:57

places in which Putin has pissed

4:59

off a lot of people, and

5:03

of course, Syria, you know, which

5:06

is the reason why the Islamic State

5:08

would be hitting them. So

5:12

I will pause there for a moment in

5:14

case you have any questions. Oh, hey, the

5:16

last thing is, the Russians

5:18

just announced that this is

5:20

on Telegram, and

5:23

it's a Russian Telegram channel, I

5:25

should be more specific, it's a Russian

5:28

backed Telegram channel. And

5:30

they're claiming that it was the Russian

5:32

volunteer call, right? Remember, we

5:35

talked about the Russian volunteer call,

5:37

that's who they're saying they,

5:39

that that's who it is, and that

5:41

they conducted a purge, or rather, they

5:43

arrested a bunch of them before the

5:45

incident, and this was a, this was

5:47

a revenge. Anyway,

5:50

back back to you guys. Yeah,

5:53

so questions you have. What I'm

5:55

being told and what I'm reading

5:57

is that, as little as three

5:59

days ago, So,

6:02

the embassy warned

6:05

Moscow that, hey, there is something

6:07

coming. They didn't have specifics, but

6:11

it was dismissed by Putin as

6:13

divisive propaganda, you know, just trying

6:15

to divide the country up, which

6:17

is the exact same mistake that

6:19

the Iranians made not long ago.

6:21

We tried to warn them about

6:23

an imminent attack. They dismissed

6:25

it and it happened. So,

6:28

you know, I think that's a part of the,

6:31

at least the entire community that the most

6:34

citizens don't know about that we do,

6:36

despite our differences with Russia and Iran.

6:38

We do share intelligence with them on

6:40

that level as, you know, if there's

6:42

an imminent attack coming, because despite what

6:45

some people think, while we disagree

6:48

and we have issue with the Russian

6:50

and Iranian governments, we don't hate their

6:52

people. So we don't want to see

6:54

innocents killed. So well, it's something to

6:56

do. It's a policy of repress, reciprocity.

6:59

Yeah, too, right? You

7:01

know, like, okay, so even if you guys don't

7:03

agree to this, we are going to do this,

7:07

which leads the door open for

7:09

collaboration. Absolutely. Absolutely. And

7:11

that's a, yeah, that's a great point. Hey,

7:13

Jason, I just want to say what Putin

7:15

actually said when

7:17

he was warned on March the

7:19

19th, all this resembles outright blackmail

7:22

and an intention to intimidate and

7:24

destabilize society. Just that's from the

7:27

US warning. I mean, once

7:30

again, you know, how, what

7:32

more example do you need? Yeah, I'm

7:34

curious to see how that gets walked

7:36

back. That statement now that it's happened.

7:38

Putin was just talking, he just like,

7:40

addressed Russia, like, probably 30, 40

7:42

minutes ago. But it was Oh,

7:45

he has made an official statement. Okay. Yeah.

7:48

Yeah, that in the the method,

7:51

as who's the deputy head of the,

7:53

you know, Derek will know the Russian

7:55

Security Council has

7:57

has is already blamed.

8:00

I mean him specifically, so it isn't

8:02

just on Telegram, he says. Well, he

8:04

says if it is

8:06

established that these terrorists are connected with the Kiev

8:08

regime, and he goes on to issue dire threats,

8:11

you know what I mean? How much more dire

8:13

can it get than you've already invaded that country?

8:15

Right. So like the

8:17

Medvedev thing- But they're getting ready

8:19

to put the blame on Kiev's

8:21

doorstep because it certainly serves Russians

8:24

better to do so than to blame the

8:27

Islamic State and bring up their whole sorry

8:29

venture. Sorry venture in Syria. Can we touch

8:31

on the transformation that Medvedev's gone through when

8:33

he was a Russian president and like boys

8:35

with Obama and like, oh, this could be

8:38

maybe a glimmer of hope, and then he's

8:40

gone full like black trench coat. No,

8:45

I don't think there was any transformation there. I

8:47

think they were just always playing us all along

8:49

with me. And

8:51

this is where we mix

8:54

our kind of our own

8:57

culture with our attempts at

8:59

real politic. We want to

9:01

always, always inject the personal

9:03

level in these geopolitical relationships.

9:09

And these are whether you're

9:12

a head of state, I mean,

9:15

regardless of where you're a head of state,

9:18

your country, your national interests come first, but

9:20

we in the US- We

9:23

recognize that in ourselves, but we demand kind

9:25

of friendship and loyalty

9:27

from foreign

9:30

diplomats, I mean foreign heads

9:33

of state, which of

9:35

course doesn't make sense, and especially

9:37

when we're talking about adversaries. So

9:40

you get things like George Bush saying about

9:42

Putin, he seems like a man I can

9:44

deal with. You know what you can do

9:46

with guys, and then all the crap that

9:49

other presidents have talked about,

9:51

both Putin and members

9:54

of Russia, the Kremlin. I mean, it's

9:56

absurd. No, these guys are all

9:58

very- I mean, they- shit. you

10:00

know, form of Soviets and if they're not,

10:03

and they're steeped in that culture. And

10:05

we never understood that culture anyway. But

10:08

we kind of understood it during the Cold War. And

10:11

what kept us on the good side is we

10:13

never got sucked in, even at the end, to,

10:16

oh, hey, listen, Khrushchev's being nice to

10:18

us today, so, you know, let's start

10:20

making concessions. Yeah. Yeah.

10:23

It's our own mirror imaging

10:25

and it's our own weakness.

10:27

Geopolitics is a hard

10:29

game. And very few US statesmen

10:31

realize that. Kissinger, like him or

10:34

hate him, did understand that. Yeah.

10:37

Absolutely. Anything you saw

10:39

on the whole panel in Moscow. So

10:42

watch this space, guys. Very

10:44

interesting. And we will, you

10:47

know, continue to track what's

10:49

being said in Russia

10:52

on this. What was interesting was, like,

10:54

especially right after the attack, probably like an hour

10:56

or two after attack, they had that picture of

10:58

that white man with old Ukrainian plates on it.

11:00

Yeah. And it's like, hey,

11:03

guys, if you can't really get this bit obvious. Yeah.

11:06

What are we doing? Like, are they really doing that?

11:08

Like, let's be serious here. Like, who's running this? Let's

11:11

love the Ukraine stickers on the enemy. Yeah.

11:16

An early story I saw too said

11:18

that during the attack that a Ukrainian

11:20

flag was raised above the building.

11:24

I saw that. And then it disappeared. Then I

11:26

never saw anything about it again. So,

11:28

I mean. They also

11:30

said they were wearing fake beards. Like, guys,

11:32

what are we doing? Like, can

11:35

we just find out who did this? And,

11:37

you know, and like, I mean, the Russians

11:39

won't be honest anyway. Yeah. But

11:42

I mean, you know how these things are.

11:44

I mean, remember the most recently, seven October.

11:46

And then you remember the attacks

11:50

in Paris in 2015. And

11:52

the initial reports are

11:55

always low ball, unfortunately,

11:57

on the extent of the

11:59

casualties. and how bad the event was.

12:01

So I think sadly we're going to see that

12:03

the casualty numbers

12:06

rise because reading

12:09

behind the lines Russian special forces did

12:11

not get there on time and

12:14

so yes I don't think this is

12:16

going to be a story that covers

12:19

the Russian security services and glory but

12:21

that doesn't, you know, I mean we've

12:23

all made these mistakes so

12:25

that isn't me being smug it's a

12:27

tragedy regardless. The, before,

12:31

so I really, I mean

12:33

you've got two Marines here and

12:35

I really, okay three, Richie.

12:38

Stop reminding me. So

12:41

I really, you know, today saw

12:43

another, not a tragedy but a

12:46

milestone event in General Gray former

12:48

Compton Marine Corps. More importantly, oh,

12:50

in General Gray by the way,

12:54

easily, the most easily, the

12:56

most influential Compton of

12:59

the last, I don't know, since

13:01

Lejeune, John A. Lejeune probably and some

13:03

point I'll argue the most period. Why

13:05

was he so influential? Because

13:08

he, don't worry, I'll get rid of him in a moment,

13:10

not in a bad way that he's... With

14:47

General Grey obviously. You know

14:49

General Grey bottom line is

14:51

he brought the Marine Corps

14:53

from this kind of woe

14:56

is me Vietnam fixated

14:59

culture which

15:01

was very you know despite what

15:04

we may say very hierarchical very

15:06

zero tolerance and it

15:08

was a very bad time not just in the Marine

15:10

Corps but in every service in the 70s post Vietnam.

15:14

Drugs, racial tension you name it

15:17

and Grey came in and did two

15:19

things he cleaned house you know

15:21

from top down the Institute implemented things like

15:23

drug testing and all this stuff you know

15:26

but it was a it was a

15:28

concerned compassionate leadership he was loved by the

15:30

rank and file in a way that no

15:32

other commandant has been. And

15:35

why it wasn't just because he could talk

15:37

to the Marines and drop the F bomb

15:39

it was because he genuinely cared about

15:42

them and showed it in his

15:44

policies and proving barracks like blah blah blah but

15:46

he you know at the same time he

15:49

raised he raised the standards of

15:51

the Marine Corps that was internally

15:53

externally he oh

15:55

and also internally he emphasized mission command

15:57

in a way that has not been

15:59

a. exercise by any other comment I'll talk

16:01

about that,

16:04

you know, before or since possibly the

16:06

current one will be. And so

16:09

he brought

16:11

us a soul these things about

16:13

initiative driven command. He

16:16

brought in a

16:20

yes, right. To change

16:22

our whole doctrine, war

16:24

fighting, right? Which

16:26

is not about moving pieces on

16:28

the map. It's about mentality, which

16:31

is always, always putting your enemy in the

16:34

horns of the dilemma on the horns of

16:36

the dilemma, thinking

16:38

deciding in

16:40

a manner that that makes your tempo

16:43

faster than that of the adversary. It

16:45

was all about the mental gain, the

16:47

three dimensional chessboard as he

16:49

described it. Gray

16:52

was also very interestingly, a self

16:54

made man in every sense. He,

16:58

he was a const

17:00

I mean, he, he was a construction worker,

17:03

right? He enlisted in the Marine Corps. Yeah.

17:05

At the age of 22, went to Korea

17:08

fought for two years in Korea, as

17:10

a rifleman made sergeant, like

17:13

in a battlefield promotions. And

17:16

then subsequently was commissioned as an

17:18

officer in Vietnam. Interestingly, when he

17:20

got a silver star, he was

17:23

on a he was his

17:25

official title was he was an

17:27

artillery observer with an artillery unit.

17:30

But he was also at the time he's working

17:32

in intelligence, communications and

17:34

signals intelligence. He had a communications background.

17:36

I want to sell the star for

17:38

bringing Marines out of a minefield minefield.

17:41

I'm going to turn over to you

17:43

because I got to take care of

17:45

this. Yeah,

17:47

General Gray, I had the the

17:50

pleasure and honor of meeting him. It was

17:53

long after his retirement. I was

17:55

at an event and he was there and we

17:58

got to talk to me a little bit it and

18:00

mentioned where I was from in New

18:02

Jersey. And he grew up right next

18:04

door at a point pleasant New Jersey

18:06

from originally from raw way, New Jersey.

18:08

And, uh, his family

18:10

moved to point pleasant and, uh,

18:12

he played football. I think we played

18:15

three sports football, baseball, and

18:17

I basketball, I believe. And, uh, you

18:19

know, great athlete, um, really, really easy

18:22

to talk to. And, you know, like

18:24

Andy said, he was a Marines Marine,

18:26

especially enlisted. He, uh, is

18:29

noted for when he

18:31

would address new officers, he

18:33

would tell him that your sole reason

18:35

for raising your hand, um, yes, it's

18:37

to defend the constitution, yes, it is

18:40

to defend, you know, the nation, but

18:42

it's also to be first and foremost

18:44

there for your enlisted, uh,

18:46

and subordinate Marines. That was his

18:48

most important, um, his credo. Uh,

18:52

like Andy said, maneuver warfare was a big

18:54

thing with him. Um, and it was pretty

18:56

timely because of desert storm and, you know,

18:59

and all of that, um, but

19:01

he truly believed in every Marine being a

19:04

rifleman so much so that he was the

19:06

first, and I don't know if only, but

19:08

the first common not to

19:10

have his official portrait done in

19:12

his utilities, his cammies, um,

19:14

every other one were in dress uniforms,

19:16

dress blues. Um, and, uh, he

19:19

was the first to do that to show that

19:21

every Marine is a rifleman. And, uh, that really

19:23

stood out to me. So, uh, he will surely

19:25

be missed. I mean, 95 years old, he lived

19:27

a hell of a life. So, um, you

19:30

know, great Marine. It

19:32

was active right up to the end too. Um, uh,

19:35

he was, um, you

19:37

know, he ran the, uh, instrumental in

19:39

running the Potomac Institute, which is a

19:41

think tank. And, uh, but, uh,

19:44

you know, one, one really interesting point, I think this

19:46

will come out, I

19:48

hope it comes out and, um, you

19:50

know, presumably there'll be books about a book

19:52

about him, but he took over the Marine

19:54

Corps at a very, uh,

19:57

you know, the Marine

20:00

Corps. was in crisis back in

20:02

the late 80s. People forget about this,

20:04

or in the 80s. And part

20:07

of it was post-Vietnam. The

20:10

army, the Navy can absorb some

20:13

of the morale problems and

20:17

all the other things that were going

20:19

on. But the Marine Corps, as a

20:21

small organization now facing, is just justifying

20:23

its existence yet again, not

20:27

doing well across the border,

20:29

none of the services were. But in particular,

20:31

the Marine Corps had a hard time in

20:34

the 80s. Remember, in 83 was the Marine

20:36

Corps bombing that killed 240. There

20:39

were all kinds

20:41

of operational and tactical and

20:44

indeed, strategic level decisions that

20:47

were made there that frankly

20:49

led to that tragedy. And they weren't all

20:52

political decisions. A lot of them were made

20:54

by people in uniform, and they were very

20:56

poor decisions. And not

20:58

a lot of people really were

21:00

held responsible. But Gray came in in

21:02

the aftermath of that, realizing

21:06

that, yes, the Marine Corps had to be seen

21:08

to hold its own accountable. And

21:11

then the same

21:13

year he came in, we had, I

21:15

don't know if you remember, Clayton Lontrie. He

21:19

was the primary player in a

21:23

scandal in Moscow embassy, US

21:27

embassy Moscow in 1987. He

21:30

and one of his

21:33

cohorts, I think two of his cohorts,

21:35

definitely another one went to jail, sold

21:37

secrets. They were called in a Russian

21:39

honeypot trap and

21:44

continued to give

21:46

secrets to the Russians and prepare their

21:48

time before they were caught. And then

21:50

finally, remember Oliver North facing criminal charges

21:53

for his involvement in the Iran-Contra affair.

21:55

And within the Marine Corps, Oliver

21:58

North was not regarded as... being the

22:00

hero that the US public was.

22:03

There were people who had, I'll

22:05

just say this, let me

22:08

put it this way, I don't mean to

22:10

defame Oliver North, I just mean to say

22:12

yes, he was a very brave man, and

22:15

yes, he was a hero in Vietnam, but

22:17

my point is that there were people within

22:19

the Marine Corps who were concerned about the

22:21

way he was acting, concerned

22:23

that he was violating integrity while

22:25

wearing uniform. I didn't say he

22:27

did, I said they were concerned

22:30

and Gray was one of them. So he

22:32

felt like the Marine Corps had a black

22:34

eye and indeed it did and part

22:37

of what he was doing, and people didn't

22:39

realize this perhaps at the time, was setting

22:41

the Marine Corps completely on a new course.

22:45

Remember he's the one who coined special operations

22:47

capable for the muse. He's like okay, we

22:49

are going to be a lighter, more

22:52

agile force, we're going to be closer

22:54

to special operations. And indeed, look, we're

22:57

doing this again now, we went through

22:59

this whole period of going being

23:01

sucked into, as we had to,

23:03

the counter insurgencies, the land wars,

23:05

but now again, we're

23:08

looking at getting, kind of moving towards

23:11

soft in how we

23:13

operate. Yeah. And

23:15

you mentioned books about him. There

23:18

is one that had been recommended to me,

23:20

I still haven't read it, it's called Grayisms

23:22

and Other Thoughts on Leadership from General Al

23:25

Gray, USMC retired, 29th County Marine

23:28

Corps, it's by Paul Ott, OTTE.

23:30

And the... The

23:33

Big Institute. Yeah. What's that?

23:36

Yeah, Potomac Institute. Yeah, Potomac Institute. So

23:38

that looks like a really interesting one.

23:41

So if anyone's interested, definitely pick that

23:43

up. I plan to. Yeah,

23:45

that's actually, it's a great book. I mean,

23:47

I've just flicked through it because I'm too cheap

23:49

to look forward to it. It's got a lot

23:52

of his quotes and he has some great

23:54

quotes. Yeah. You know,

23:56

everyone, everyone has... this

24:00

image of him as being and he

24:02

was like this rough ready, marine tough

24:04

guy. And he was all of those.

24:06

Yes, truly. But but what makes him

24:08

what gives him such a legacy is

24:11

his intellect. Really,

24:13

you know, a brilliant guy. And, and

24:16

also his, I mean, his

24:20

intellect, what he's done for the miracle, blah, blah,

24:22

blah, but, but also his compassion, you know, and

24:24

that's why he was popular. He really, you know,

24:27

we talked about tough, love, tough

24:30

leadership, but he really exemplified

24:32

that there wasn't a false bond in

24:34

his body. And you know, one of the

24:36

things we laughed about when he when

24:39

he and I briefly spoke was again, he went

24:41

to Point Pleasant Beach High School. And

24:43

I went to Manas one high school

24:46

and we weren't big rivals with

24:48

sports, we did play each other in certain

24:50

sports, but Point Pleasant Borough, which was the

24:53

town connected in between his and

24:55

mine, we they were a

24:57

big rival. And we used to

24:59

it was a huge nasty rival and football especially.

25:01

And so one of the things he asked me

25:03

is, so what's

25:05

the secret? You know, sir, what secrets

25:07

was like, how is it you guys cheat every

25:10

year be, you know, and I just looked at

25:12

him like shit, is he being serious? He's

25:16

still holding that grudge from 80 years.

25:18

Exactly. So,

25:21

um, the other thing, you

25:23

know, the other legacy that he has among

25:25

junior Marines is, is

25:28

memory of or a habit of

25:31

physically assaulting Marines, right? You know,

25:33

I mean, what would be called

25:35

physically assaulting now, you know, he

25:37

would when if you were

25:40

standing and I know this from personal

25:42

experience, because I was a

25:44

PFC and reached the dizzy Heights of Lance

25:46

corporal as a security

25:48

guard in St. Clans fleet headquarters, North

25:50

Lake Virginia in 1980, a through Baba

25:54

in 1990. Anyway, so junior,

25:56

you know, PSC Melbourne, sending

25:59

outside the op

26:01

con to, you know, control headquarters

26:04

and he'd go in and out every

26:06

time he would punch the Marine in

26:08

the stomach, right? The guy standing guard

26:10

at the Marine for us. So

26:13

it didn't matter who he was with, you know,

26:15

CNO, whatever, he you're going to

26:17

get punched. Can you imagine that happening today?

26:19

And then, and so, yeah,

26:21

of course, you know, and I promise

26:24

you, this is true, there were

26:26

guys who even put like, their

26:28

Mark books in, you know, under

26:30

their Charlie shirts. I mean, I

26:32

mean, or and and sometimes he walked

26:34

by you and then just elbow you and the

26:36

kidneys. It was hard, you know,

26:38

I mean, it really was. Yeah,

26:41

but but now can you imagine

26:43

that someone would complain and after enough,

26:45

it would be on it would be

26:48

on security camera, general assaults, you know,

26:50

on the GoPro, some nonce global, you

26:52

know, Snodgrass would be appearing on my

26:54

ribs. Oh, then

26:57

at a press conference with his family. Oh,

27:01

hey, we're pushing the time then. Is there anything

27:03

you want to wrap up

27:05

with? No, just that Putin in

27:07

his speech. He also like

27:11

echoed saying all the terrorists that were apprehended

27:13

and route to Ukraine, trying to

27:15

cross the border. He said that. Yeah. Okay.

27:19

And I don't think we said it, but Ukraine

27:21

has vehemently denied any

27:24

kind of anything

27:26

to do with any of this, whether or not

27:28

it's true. I can't say but

27:30

they immediately said it has nothing to do with

27:33

us. There's there

27:35

would be absolutely nothing, nothing,

27:37

nothing again. Yeah. And

27:39

a lot to be a lot right last.

27:43

Although you know, driving up to the

27:45

building in a van with Ukrainian flags

27:47

might be, you know, the

27:49

best, a really good method of doing this, you

27:52

know, hide in plain sight. Yeah. Anyway,

27:54

all right. On that note, everyone.
