Hey everybody, it's Joe Trippy, and welcome back to That Trippy show with The Alex Sashlow.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah, wherever you celebrate.

It's our last episode of 2024.

Alex, this week, where do you want to go? You know, just to give the listeners just a little

insight into the background of this show, right before this show for some reason,

your computer started auto playing

Goodnight Saigon by Billy Joel. I believe the chorus is something like we'd all go down together.

We said we'd all go down together. Yeah, it's like really good. It was playing in my ears. It was really

scary. But anyway, hey, we're here. If you're worried about going to war with Panama or maybe Denmark or over Greenland,

it kind of does feel like a little deja vu with that song. But anyway, where do you want to go, Alex?

You were on CNN, I think right before Christmas. And I think since then he said some even crazier things.

But you made a point about kind of how all this

goes with Trump, kind of that, that idea of chaos. And I wanted you to expand on that for our

listeners. It's the whole thing. It's all, it's going to be governance, governance by rally, right?

He goes to rally, says crazy stuff, revs up his troops, and then the whole planet goes like,

did he mean it, did he not mean it? And in the end, the problem is that his coalition, some

people, I mean, you're never sure because, I mean, look at what happened on, you know, with Elon

Musk and continuing resolution and, you know, with Elon Musk and continuing resolution. And,

you know, 12 hours later, Trump decides, oh, yeah, I'm with Musk on that. And, you know, if you're

Mike Johnson or somebody's actually trying to get a bill passed to keep the government running,

things just don't work anymore.

It's going to be a lot of chaos.
