it was a group conflict because the hatfield and mccoy's and many relatives in the area, a year and 1/2 after the trial, a few of mccoy's nephews got enough fight, a witness testified against mccoy in the pig trial and beat the man to death, this is the moment the feud became combusted, a high conflict small dispute morphed into an intractable one and in the next decade there was a stabbing, supreme court case, women were beaten, 80 people drawn into the feud across the region. i explain this to say one of the conditions that leads to high conflict are powerful group identities that are made salient by leaders. this is because when we experience collective emotion, it compounds the conflict because you don't personally have to be attacked or insulted or humiliated but if someone in your group is insulted or humiliated it feels, we humans process of this in the same parts of the brain that process pain, feels like it is happening to you in the reverse is true. when someone in your group does something amazing and powerful you feel pride like sports fans, great studies, sports fans afte

the problem is the hatfield mccoy's and the many relatives all over the area. for a year and a half after the trial a few of the employee's nephews got into a fight and testified against mccoy in the big trial and they beat the man to death. this is the moment the feud became a high conflict dispute a morphed into an intractable one over therp course of the next decade there was a stabbing vigilante shooting and supreme court case. women were beaten, 80 people got drawn to the feud across the nation. i explained this to say that one of the conditions that reliably lead to high conflict and every case i've looked at are powerful group identities that are made salient by leaders. this is because when we experience collective emotion it's geometrically compounds the conflict. you don't personally have to be attacked or humiliated. if someone in your group is attacked or humiliated it and we humans process is this in the same part of the brain processes pain it feels like it's happening to you and mirrors is true. and the reverse is true. you feel pride just like s

we have jay hatfield joining us. jay, we spent time talking about retail because it is black friday this is a very important quarter and important set of weeks for retailers. how important is the retail and consumer story for any investment thesis in your mind right now? >> happy thanksgiving, dom thanks for having me on. we think that the consumer is relatively strong and will support the economy, but it is problematic in terms of investing in retail. it is a tale of two cities homeowners are doing well. 65% of americans tend to be wea we wealthier. not affected by shelter. they have more wealth because they own their own homes 35%, the rest, is pressured. we think from a gdp perspective, retail is supported, but not necessarily great forever retail company out there. >> how much has been reflected in the markets, jay? the idea we have seen a pull back the last several months for the better part of this year is the market accurately reflecting what could be a weakening consumer environment in this country right now?

. >> chris hatfield saw him command the international space station. >> it has been a long time sin ale that can carry people was that close to the surface of the moon and to me that is hugely exciting. when i was a boy that's when peopleirst went to the moon and so exploration and settlement always takes time and it is wonderful we have the technology now to be able to get that close a the doors are opening and some of those images. you can see the surface of the moon and you can see the entire earth is one place, just amazing perspective. theost dangerous part is launched. my heart is in my throat because i'm helpless to do anything but watch but they used pretty proven technology, space shuttle engines. and it worked beautifully and so it has threaded an incredible needle to get all the way to the moon. the odds of sometng happening when the moon is in the way were probably ok. it's what will happen over the next couple of weeks that they prove that all of those technologies and systems work and then use the moon once again to whip towards home and test the systems reentering the a

then toan organize a trial and then that was a great experience for him but but the problem is that hatfieldnd ivmccoy's and a full year and a half after the trial getting in a fight with the witness who testified against them in athe big trial and they beat the man to death so this is when he s became combusted the rosa stabbing in the supreme court case and women were b and 80 people were drawn. so. >> one but it's been made salient by these leaders. . . . . it's thatot collective that fes true and it's our perception so this group identity particularly when there are two, something about binary, our particular political system of a win or take all system where the two-party system is designed for high conflict based on what we know for human behavior. those oppositional groups doesn't bring out our best as humans i think is fair to say. >> one of the things i was fascinated or curious to talk to you about, what does america do the lessonsns you have laid outn the book? book? we are locked into this conflict in our politics and most of us don't want to be there and i think that is sort of

you talked about the hatfields and mccoys of real estate.ching out now email the city councilmember. you need to make the voice heard. new yorkers were pretty clear that they voted in adams, not new york didn't go completely democrat with the governor but lee zeldin had a pretty good shot. a lot of that was because he ran on crime. this affected washington, d.c. i guess if you're at the local level maybe you don't care about that. maybe you will gaslight everybody, look here, not here but at the same time, i just don't understand why democrats are not waking up in the state of new york and realizing that they're losing power? >> we're victims of one party rule. if you look at the sponsors of this legislation all of them are in highly concentrated democratic districts where a republican really doesn't have much chance running against them. look we tried but unfortunately the enrollments are so overwhelming in these districts. when you have only a democratic primary to worry about, as i believe many of the sponsors of this bill are you tend to

they've been holding it for our juicy time and i think they found it out to affect hatfield mcgovern. that's my own estate. but it's it's something that it's a mixed bag. it's a tough attack on kennedy. it shows that the genesis of the war really occurred around 61. yeah, that's clifford. i see and it's brutal on president johnson. they're going to end up in a massive cup fight in the democratic party on this thing. there's some but also massive against the war against the war. but it's a pentagon study, huh? it was indeed and over the next few days. nixon would would think about this more more? what did it mean that these materials were leaked and he started to get really scared because he was concerned that there was another study floating around washington that might get leaked and that study contained the history of the 1968 presidential election right down at the wire when nixon and his campaign kind of monkeyed around with the possibility of peace talks starting with the north and south vietnamese, and this is what came to be known as the chenault affair and nixon a fears that t
