00:00:00.000 Got a very special show for you today, all about the international FTX heist.
00:00:08.060 What is FTX? How does it tie into Ukraine? How does it tie into the Bidens?
00:00:13.100 And does it tie in to the intelligence services? We're going to get into it.
00:00:17.280 And Libby Emmons is joining me from the Post Millennial.
00:00:19.660 But first, I got to let you guys know that we just had a massive drop when it comes to new names, right?
00:00:26.440 New names for America Fest. Yes, that is absolutely right.
00:00:30.940 We've got new names that are going to be joining us.
00:00:32.720 Newt Gingrich, Matt Walsh, Greg Gutfeld, Laura Ingram, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, Michael Knowles, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, Harmeet Dillon, Steve Hilton, Ali Stuckey, Seth Dillon, Congresswoman-elect Harriet Hagman, and Darren Beattie, Cash Patel, Eric Metaxas.
00:00:51.460 Make sure, all right, guys, I told you guys, I told you there was going to be more names coming.
00:00:56.820 Now we've got a huge name drop.
00:00:59.260 I'm telling you right now, Amfest.com, promo code POSO, up to 25% off.
00:01:04.480 Do not come to me, don't even try coming to me the week of and asking for tickets.
00:01:10.420 Go secure them now, Amfest.com, promo code POSO.
00:01:13.200 Sam is not a traditional billionaire because he believes in the concept of earn to give, which means his goal as a human is to make as much money as possible just to give it away.
00:01:37.620 Earn to give.
00:01:39.080 And that's exactly what he's doing.
00:01:41.460 So let's say that you have $100 and you want to figure out what you can do with it to help the world.
00:01:47.200 Earning to give is thinking about which causes, which charities save the most lives per dollar.
00:01:51.920 This $100 can go as far as it possibly can to help the world.
00:01:55.500 Last year, this 29-year-old guy donated $50 million.
00:02:01.560 Next year, he's planning to donate $500 million a year.
00:02:06.880 And next decade, he will probably give away more than $10 billion.
00:02:15.620 The amount of good that you can do for the future of the world is really large.
00:02:20.400 And it's way more than you can do to actually make yourself happy with anything like that amount of money.
00:02:26.280 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard.
00:02:28.320 Today's edition of Human Events Daily powered by Turning Point USA.
00:02:31.400 Today is November 16th, 2022.
00:02:34.820 And I know, dominate.
00:02:37.100 Folks, today we've got to take a step back.
00:02:39.840 And look at everything involving the FTX heist.
00:02:47.180 Because that's what this was.
00:02:48.580 This was a heist, not only of the users' donations, of the users' deposits,
00:02:54.660 but also a heist potentially involving all the way up to and including the DNC
00:03:00.360 and potentially intelligence services.
00:03:04.260 We're going to break down all of it.
00:03:05.640 And I know you've seen it in the news and everybody's focused on the election right now
00:03:08.420 and the fact that Ukraine lied about missiles hitting Poland.
00:03:12.340 But we need to dig into this FTX story.
00:03:15.980 And that is why we are devoting today's show to the FTX heist.
00:03:20.860 And joining me to discuss all of this, Libby Edmonds, the editor-in-chief of The Post Millennial.
00:03:25.860 Libby, thank you so much for joining us.
00:03:27.820 Sure thing, Jack.
00:03:29.140 So Libby, what is FTX?
00:03:31.560 What is this and why should we care about it?
00:03:33.320 FTX is a crypto exchange.
00:03:36.960 So it's a place where people can buy and trade cryptocurrencies.
00:03:42.380 And that's what they were doing on it.
00:03:45.460 So it's a crypto exchange, right?
00:03:47.120 Seems something, sounds totally innocuous.
00:03:49.940 But the whole thing falls apart.
00:03:51.620 The whole thing gets destroyed.
00:03:53.580 We're, you know, the founder, there's some kid we're hearing, by the way, now the FBI is talking about
00:03:58.540 extraditing him from the Bahamas back to the United States.
00:04:01.780 Lots of questions about missing funds, potentially to his girlfriend.
00:04:06.760 Break me down, who are some of the players here?
00:04:08.400 Who's this guy?
00:04:09.000 Who's his girlfriend? 0.81
00:04:10.000 And what was their relationship, not only personally, but financially?
00:04:13.600 So you have this guy, Sam Bankman-Fried, and he was touted as a boy genius, as so many people in this space are when it comes down to it.
00:04:25.160 And his girlfriend, Catherine Ellison, was a CEO also of a hedge fund that he founded as well.
00:04:34.360 And so they were involved in a relationship.
00:04:37.740 There are allegations that he was involved in multiple poly relationships or things like this as well in the Bahamas.
00:04:44.140 And what happened was essentially some doubt came into play as to the value of the coin that FTX issues.
00:04:53.240 And that doubt was raised by another large crypto exchange, Binance.
00:04:58.900 And once that doubt came into play, there started to be some concerns.
00:05:02.780 And there was a run, essentially, on FTX with customers coming to get their funds out.
00:05:10.700 At the point when customers came to get their funds out, it turned out that FTX didn't have their funds.
00:05:17.120 So Bankman-Fried took a look around and said, you know, maybe what we need is a bailout.
00:05:22.480 Asked Binance and other crypto companies, you know, for some help.
00:05:27.920 Binance took a look and said, after a little due diligence, that they absolutely would not bail out FTX.
00:05:34.300 And it was further discovered that FTX had, through a backdoor, without any real oversight or anything like that, given some $10 billion to Ellison's company in order to bail out that company.
00:05:50.800 And that company was most of their holding.
00:05:53.120 Yeah.
00:05:53.420 Just to do the ban and wait, wait, wait, hold up.
00:05:56.800 But he was using a backdoor into his own system to funnel millions of dollars to prop up his girlfriend's company.
00:06:04.900 Is that what you're saying?
00:06:05.680 His girlfriend's company.
00:06:06.720 Yes, correct.
00:06:07.840 Wow.
00:06:08.980 And without any of the users knowing this?
00:06:11.500 Without any of the users knowing this.
00:06:13.740 There was absolutely no transparency.
00:06:15.760 And there's no regulation here.
00:06:17.700 And because the companies were in the Bahamas, they pretty much were allowed to do whatever they wanted.
00:06:23.700 And so once this was realized that he was skimming off the top, that the funds were going to this other company that he had an interest in, both personally and professionally.
00:06:35.420 It sounded like he had an interest all right, Libby.
00:06:38.300 He was very interested in that company.
00:06:41.760 And then the whole thing really just fell apart.
00:06:45.140 I thought it was interesting, too, that Binance, the CEO of Binance, said that he was not going to bail it out at all.
00:06:53.500 And he took an interesting approach, saying that if the company couldn't stand on its own, then it would fall.
00:06:59.840 And that that was a reasonable thing to have happen in an open marketplace.
00:07:03.860 And for folks who need to understand this, and I'm going to ask the producers to show some of this, this guy was touted by people like former President Bill Clinton, like Tony Blair.
00:07:14.580 He's donating tons of money to the Democrats.
00:07:18.000 We've got an entire list of that.
00:07:19.360 People can go check it out at the postmillennial.com.
00:07:21.540 He became the number two donor to the entire Democratic Party throughout the 2022 cycle, only followed by George Soros through this essential Ponzi scheme that he was running, where people thought that they were making money.
00:07:38.240 People thought that they were investing in this quote unquote coin.
00:07:41.860 They called it the FTT coin that they were going to be issuing when it turns out the entire thing was absolutely worthless.
00:07:48.020 It was actually a Ponzi scheme, and the only people making any money off of it that we can see here are, number one, himself, his girlfriend, and the Democrat Party.
00:08:01.020 Hold it right there, Libby.
00:08:02.100 We're going to go to a quick word from our sponsors, but then when we come back, I want to talk more about this backdoor and the potential for these unregulated industries in the sector.
00:08:12.120 So what I want to talk about, though, since we are talking about new economies, we need to talk about the importance of the parallel economy all across the country.
00:08:21.180 Americans are discovering that if we want to change this nation, we must change the way the marketplace works.
00:08:26.680 Woke corporations like the one we're talking about today are seeking to divide us.
00:08:30.660 Big banks and exchanges like this will freeze the accounts of people who disagree with their political views.
00:08:35.760 We sound familiar. And our supply chain is dependent on countries that actively work against our values and crooks like this guy. 0.90
00:08:42.080 It is time for a change. And that change starts with you, your wallet.
00:08:46.340 That's why Human Events Daily and myself, we are proud to partner with Public Square, the world's largest directory of freedom loving businesses that our nation has ever seen.
00:08:54.000 Public Square is the first app that connects freedom loving Americans with the local community and the businesses that share their values.
00:09:00.560 Whether you want to support a restaurant that only buys from local farms, a coffee shop that took a stand against COVID mandates or a bank that would never cancel you for your political views.
00:09:09.660 Public Square is your guide. Just go to the download the app. It's completely free.
00:09:12.800 Apple App Store or Google Play. You create your account and you begin to search.
00:09:16.780 You can also, by the way, if you have a business, you can list it there for free so your local community, your people can find you.
00:09:22.360 Download the app today. Public Square, Public Square, Public SQ, build the parallel economy.
00:09:27.100 Right back to the end.
00:09:28.240 So let's look at FTX. It certainly appears to be an egregious failure to treat customer assets as segregated assets.
00:09:39.000 It appears that the leadership there attempted to fill a hole at an affiliated company.
00:09:46.340 And it occurs to me that this is a worry that I don't have for one split second about my stocks or my bonds or my treasuries when they're held in custody by American banks.
00:09:57.320 Mr. Sue, a predecessor of yours, said that there's no need for any additional guidance.
00:10:03.900 It's it's it's a settled matter as to how banks should custody financial assets.
00:10:10.580 And they do it all the time and they've done it forever.
00:10:12.840 But my understanding is that your office discourages banks from providing custody services, among other services in the crypto space.
00:10:24.360 And it seems to me, if people had access to custody services provided by a wide range of institutions, including regulated financial institutions, they might be able to sleep more comfortably knowing that those assets were unlikely to be used for some completely inappropriate purpose.
00:10:45.540 So what you're hearing there is Senator Pat to me, my senator from Pennsylvania on his way out.
00:10:52.500 He's being replaced by Fetterman, by the way. So we're very we're all very excited about that, that he is making a full throated endorsement of the regulation of the crypto space, specifically using FTX as an example.
00:11:06.480 And he's saying that, well, if you if you deposit anything with a regular bank, a regular bank would never do that.
00:11:12.740 Really, Pat? Really mean to tell me that your bank would never invest your own funds, that you're all your money is just sitting there in, you know, in a vault like Scrooge McDuck.
00:11:22.380 Are we really supposed to believe that's what's good? Come on. Come on.
00:11:25.260 We know that's not how it works. OK, but I get what you're trying to do, what what he represents.
00:11:30.720 Pat to me, he's a huge Wall Street kind of guy, and he's representing the Wall Street angle of saying we want control and regulation over crypto.
00:11:40.600 I've had a lot of crypto bros that are messaging me over this whole thing, saying, post.
00:11:44.860 So I know you're focused on the election. You got to get into this FTX deal because we're looking at it going.
00:11:49.400 When this guy took a fall and he's always wanted regulation, he's given money to candidates that support a regulation.
00:11:57.360 He's spoken out in favor of regulation. And now it almost feels like because of his own inappropriate actions that we're going to have regulation over the sector because of him.
00:12:08.340 You know, was this was it deliberate? Was this a setup? Libby Edmonds, what say you?
00:12:13.340 Well, I think it's actually pretty interesting.
00:12:15.460 I do think that there should probably be some regulation in the space similar to the way securities are regulated.
00:12:21.220 And we do have to to me's point, we do have FTC protections of up to ten thousand dollars, one hundred thousand dollars rather for deposit accounts.
00:12:30.380 So there are some protections there for American consumers of banking products like that.
00:12:36.200 But the kind of regulation that the crypto space needs or that these kind of companies needs is is much more similar to securities regulation, which is transparency, full disclosure and a complete disallowance of the kind of conflict of interest that you saw between Bankman Freed and his girlfriend,
00:12:57.600 as well as what we saw between him and his brother, who founded a big charity that he gave a ton of money to as well.
00:13:05.400 So, you know, with securities regulation, you're not allowed to do that kind of stuff at all.
00:13:10.540 You're not you're just you're just not allowed.
00:13:12.760 And that's the kind of thing that should be completely disallowed in this space.
00:13:16.720 Which and by the way, just to point out, one of the other places where money was coming in and going out of FTX was Ukraine because the Ukrainian government had signed deals with FTX.
00:13:27.960 And we're going to save that for the third segment, because I've got this theory that there may be some intelligence connections here that we've seen from the national security state.
00:13:37.520 And certainly wouldn't be the first time that that the national security agencies were using a bank or a financial vehicle as a pass through apparatus to launder money right for their own black ops operations or launder money for other operations, skim money, et cetera.
00:13:52.880 But save that for the next segment. My question, though, Libby, is isn't the whole point of crypto that it is decentralized, that it's unregulated?
00:14:02.660 Isn't that kind of the promise? And when you talk to the crypto bros and, you know, nothing but love for my crypto bros.
00:14:07.840 But isn't that the whole point that it's decentralized? We don't want this tied to financial regulations.
00:14:14.140 We don't want Big Brother looking over our shoulder and we certainly don't want central banks to be controlling the entire thing.
00:14:19.500 We know, by the way, that a lot of the big Wall Street firms are now talking with the Fed, with the Federal Reserve about issuing.
00:14:26.460 And you're seeing this with Rishi Sunak. I talked about this a year ago on this podcast.
00:14:29.920 I said, this guy's going to become prime minister and he's going to be talking about central bank digital currencies for the U.K.
00:14:34.800 And guess what? Liz Truss out in what, 46 days? And then Rishi Sunak comes in. 1.00
00:14:39.360 Boom. First thing he says, central bank digital currencies. What are we hearing on Wall Street right now?
00:14:43.780 Central bank digital currencies. And to an extent, the U.S. dollar is kind of a central bank digital currency.
00:14:49.500 Right now. But y'all ain't ready for that conversation. I guess my point is, though, is doesn't this kind of detract from the overall promise of what crypto was supposed to be?
00:15:01.000 Well, sure, it does. Yeah, definitely. But at the same time, do we want our assets to be part of some sort of Wild West scenario where anything can happen?
00:15:12.900 And not only is all investment at risk, but we don't even know what the risks are and we don't even know what's going on with with those with that money.
00:15:20.860 We don't know what the company is investing in. We don't know anything because there's absolutely no disclosures.
00:15:25.000 That doesn't seem reasonable at all. And it certainly doesn't seem reasonable in terms of protecting investors.
00:15:31.540 And just just in terms of because we don't have a lot of time to bring up the point, though, you know, the kind of libertarian argument against that would be that, well, you know, then maybe a company deserves to fail if it's not doing if it's doing stuff like that.
00:15:40.720 And that in this sense, there was right. There certainly was a market correction because finance started looking into it.
00:15:47.440 They did their due diligence. They found out it didn't work. And and shouldn't that be, you know, shouldn't that be enough?
00:15:53.260 Because if you overregulate, you essentially get to the point where these big players that are in the in the industry and in the field,
00:15:59.380 they're going to box out anybody that's trying to come up as an up and comer and they're going to solidify their monopoly over the market.
00:16:05.760 So the regulation gets put in place and it actually decreases competition.
00:16:09.700 So that's how you get your Walmarts, your Googles, your Verizons, your Cox Cables.
00:16:13.180 And that really reduces selection and options for the consumer.
00:16:17.280 And they are the ones who end up getting screwed in the long run because of higher costs.
00:16:21.320 You know, I think for me, though, the way I come down on it is, look, if if these things are being issued by companies,
00:16:27.600 regardless of what you call it, regardless of technology, it still inherently is a security.
00:16:31.780 And I think I don't think there's a good argument for not regulating it as a security under existing law.
00:16:37.460 But when it comes to something like Bitcoin, which is decent, which is truly decentralized,
00:16:42.260 it's not tied to, you know, some dude and his girlfriend in the Bahamas.
00:16:45.500 Then, you know, you know, regulation on that wouldn't make any sense because that's not issued by a privately held company.
00:16:51.400 Libby Emmons, last word is yours.
00:16:54.060 Yeah, I think these are securities and they need to be regulated by securities.
00:16:57.100 And American investors need to be protected from people like Bankman Freed who are willing to play a shell game with consumers' investments.
00:17:05.360 I don't think that's reasonable at all.
00:17:07.260 I have concerns about privacy with centralized, you know, federally backed digital coin.
00:17:12.500 And that does need to get sorted out.
00:17:14.180 But investors do need to be protected from these kind of schemers, for sure.
00:17:18.780 But what about what about that distinction between Bitcoin itself, original Bitcoin that is not tied to one of these companies?
00:17:24.500 Yeah, I think that's right.
00:17:26.800 One of the earliest things I learned about Bitcoin was not to keep your not to keep your Bitcoin on an exchange, to keep it on your own flash drive.
00:17:33.880 And I think that makes sense.
00:17:35.360 Boom. Keep it on your own flash drive.
00:17:36.940 It's called cold storage, folks.
00:17:38.820 We'll be right back with our last segment.
00:17:41.160 Is FTX part of an intelligence operation?
00:17:44.420 Things are going to get spicy.
00:17:45.540 Stay tuned.
00:17:45.920 In the end, my goal is to do as much good as I can for the world.
00:17:53.720 I'm part of an effective altruism community.
00:17:56.540 Basically, it's a group of people looking to try and figure out if you want to maximize the amount of good you do, maximize the positive impact that you can have on the world.
00:18:03.980 What does that imply?
00:18:04.880 What does that mean you should do with your life?
00:18:06.160 And I think it sort of grew out of like, here's a group of charities.
00:18:09.840 You're going to donate $100, which will save the most lives, right?
00:18:13.800 Which saves the most lives per dollar donated.
00:18:17.000 And, you know, it's centered on a bunch of really great developing world health charities.
00:18:22.820 Things like, you know, the Anti-Malaria Foundation, Systemiosis Control, and some direct transfer charities to really poor areas of the world.
00:18:32.620 And, like, you know, GiveDirectly is one there.
00:18:35.020 And GiveWell is sort of the pioneer of evaluating these charities, comparing them, and trying to figure out, you know, how you can save as many people with your money as you can.
00:18:48.780 Yeah.
00:18:49.860 Okay.
00:18:50.780 Libby, I'm just going to throw it out there.
00:18:52.860 This dude sounds like a Fed, right?
00:18:55.100 I'm sorry.
00:18:56.140 This dude just, like, the whole thing I'm looking at, I'm saying, why is this guy protected?
00:19:00.680 Why is he propped up by all of these international globalist figures?
00:19:06.260 Why is he going?
00:19:07.100 He's working with the World Economic Forum.
00:19:09.660 He's working with Klaus Schwab.
00:19:11.080 His FTX gets named as a partner by Ukraine for some of the funds that are going over for the war effort over there.
00:19:20.880 I mean, this guy just sounds like an absolute Fed to me.
00:19:24.260 He probably doesn't know, by the way.
00:19:26.720 You know, federal assets are not always witting, right?
00:19:29.100 You have unwitting assets, and then they get used as the fall guy, right?
00:19:32.100 You get used.
00:19:32.780 You're the face.
00:19:33.680 You're just the face of the operation, man.
00:19:36.120 And they're using you as a pass-through vehicle.
00:19:39.560 And the great Darren Beattie said something to me the other day.
00:19:41.860 And we pre-recorded a long-reform interview that's going to be coming out this Sunday with him, talking about the globalist American empire and the state of it.
00:19:49.100 But one thing he mentioned was to look into BCCI.
00:19:51.720 So I said, OK, what's BCCI?
00:19:53.960 Chicago Tribune, LA Times, Washington Post, back when journalism existed.
00:19:57.920 Right here, look at this.
00:19:58.920 The Bank of Credit and Commerce International was seized last week by international regulators, was used as a front for central intelligence agency operations, according to the U.S. government and bank documents, as well as current and former government and bank officials.
00:20:13.760 The bank was involved in secret arms deals, including the covert sale of American arms to Iran in 1986, according to court documents and officials.
00:20:22.740 The family that was used to pass through these was the family of Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, who helped to finance the secret deals.
00:20:30.240 It is also believed that the CIA used BCCI, this bank, to aid the Afghan rebels.
00:20:36.200 That would be the Mujahideen, which later elements of which turned into the Taliban.
00:20:40.100 Libby, when I look at something like this and I see the Ukraine connection and I say there's all of this money going in, there's back doors built in, there's front doors, there's trap doors, you know, and this guy's given this total halo effect. 0.59
00:20:56.580 New York Times is not talking about him this day.
00:20:59.580 New York Times is saying, oh, he just tried so hard and he only slept four hours a day and he had a beanbag in the office and Reuters is out here.
00:21:05.660 Well, it's actually good that he did this because now it can help us with regulation.
00:21:08.780 And he actually the world owes him a favor.
00:21:11.040 I'm sorry.
00:21:12.700 This whole thing looks to me like this guy and that we should we should actually have a discussion about the very real possibility that this guy could have been some sort of witting or unwitting federal assets.
00:21:24.640 But he is now being protected.
00:21:26.700 And now what we're witnessing is a massive cleanup operation because the whole thing fell apart because of his own malfeasance.
00:21:34.540 Right. We weren't supposed to find out about these trap doors and back doors and all of it because he was skimming.
00:21:38.900 Right. Sure.
00:21:39.720 They were going to skim stuff off the top and the CIA is going to take their bit and you're going to make sure you fund, you know, the midterms and the politicians that you want to make sure they're getting their cut.
00:21:48.740 But the problem was that he was skimming for his own girlfriend.
00:21:50.940 He wasn't supposed to be doing that.
00:21:52.420 That's why the whole thing fell apart.
00:21:55.100 Libby Emmons.
00:21:56.440 Is it possible?
00:21:57.880 Is it is it possible or is it crazy for us to think that when we know that the intelligence agencies have acted like this in the past,
00:22:04.300 that we should not apply that same rubric to the things that we see before our eyes now?
00:22:09.780 I think this should be thoroughly investigated.
00:22:11.860 And you do have congressmen saying that they would like to get on that, you know, as soon as the next house is in session, that they want to see what's really going on here.
00:22:20.640 You have a guy who is a baby boy genius.
00:22:23.960 Everyone loves a rich baby genius. 0.93
00:22:26.100 You know, it's a that's a big trope for the Democrats, really.
00:22:29.340 And he gave some thirty eight million dollars, I think, in the twenty, twenty one, twenty two election season to Gillibrand and a whole host of other Democrat candidates.
00:22:43.180 And, yeah, I think this should really be looked into what was really going on here.
00:22:47.140 Who was he backing and why?
00:22:49.900 And he does have this idea of what's called ethical altruism, which is essentially I get rich so I can give money away to big causes that I believe in.
00:22:59.000 And he had all of these things set up to fight future pandemics, you know, a fund that was started by his brother.
00:23:07.940 And he was skimming off the top and giving it to his girlfriend to pump up her company, which held most of its assets and coins that were proprietary to his company.
00:23:17.180 It's sort of, you know, what's that even about?
00:23:18.980 Is that some sort of shell game or something?
00:23:20.800 What's really going on there?
00:23:22.320 Yeah, I think we really need to know what's going on and what the relationship with FTX and Ukraine was about as well.
00:23:29.520 I mean, this guy I love, by the way, his name, Bankman Fried, right?
00:23:33.240 Bankman Fried.
00:23:35.720 Could you find if you were looking for a patsy, if you were looking for a fall guy, if you were looking for someone who's obviously a total head case and a true believer that would never really question what was going on, never really question where the money was coming from, never really question what else was going on in his own company.
00:23:53.860 Doesn't this seem like the exact guy that you would go with?
00:23:57.800 Yeah, he does seem he does seem kind of like a strange fellow.
00:24:03.940 I hate to cast aspersions or judgments, really.
00:24:06.700 But yeah, he does seem kind of kind of bizarre and strange.
00:24:12.320 He showed up on everything wearing T-shirts, didn't really seem to have a lot of consideration for the people around him.
00:24:18.700 You know, what's yeah, what's going on here?
00:24:22.740 No, look, I honestly think this is one of those situations where because the regime is the way it is, because the media is the way it is, that only only through Elon Musk asking questions.
00:24:34.180 And he's asking questions as well on Twitter.
00:24:36.800 Will we ever be able to even have a forum to be able to discuss these things?
00:24:41.040 But I don't think that we'll ever actually get the true story, because I guarantee that whoever this guy's handlers were, if they're if they existed, right, they're gone.
00:24:50.820 They are long gone. And I tell you one thing right now, they've already found another one.
00:24:55.100 They've already found another one. And they're going to set up.
00:24:57.420 It's like it's like the end of Guys and Dolls, right? Right.
00:25:00.080 The game keeps going. It's the floating craps game.
00:25:02.480 The game keeps going. Libby Emmons, thank you so much for joining us today.
