00:01:17.960
point usa today we are still in europe i'm not announcing the location but we will be headed
00:01:24.880
home soon i can't announce today's top stories president biden has come out saying that the

second amendment was never absolute and trudeau has now announced a national freeze on handgun sales
00:01:37.780
across canada next the department of justice will investigate the failed police response to the
00:01:44.520
shooting third unilever ceo tells elon musk to relax after calling his esg rankings a scam and finally
00:01:53.040
a story that comes close to where we've been reporting this week russia is ret claims that
00:01:58.500
they are ready to help overcome the food crisis if the west lifts sanctions imposed over ukraine
00:02:04.060
ukraine putin says in a call with draghi all this more ahead human events daily
00:02:09.020
so today we're moving forward we're introducing legislation to implement a national freeze on handgun
00:02:29.860
ownership what this means is that it will no longer be possible to buy sell transfer or import
00:02:39.000
handguns anywhere in canada in other words we're capping the market for handguns
00:02:47.680
so there you have prime minister trudeau fresh off the backs of banning the truckers from being able
00:02:56.840
to honk horns in canada's capital we now hear him attacking this idea and actually announcing the idea
00:03:04.960
a ban on the selling the transfer or the import of handguns into canada a national freeze on handgun
00:03:12.360
ownership president biden recently came out and said talking about nine millimeter ammunition that the
00:03:18.320
second amendment was never absolute you know it's interesting because actually the second amendment does
00:03:23.380
include the words shall not be infringed you can you can see it right there in the in the text it's not
00:03:29.240
um it's not vague it's not you know obscure it's not some reference to 18th century writing that we
00:03:38.220
can't find uh any any um you know any connection to today it's not indecipherable it says right there
00:03:44.920
shall not be infringed look here's what's going on so whenever a mass shooting happens as horrible as
00:03:51.300
they are as disgusting as they are the authorities particularly on the left jump to blame the very
00:04:00.260
group of people that had nothing to do with it they blame lawful gun owners so you see the problem
00:04:07.300
with that right this is the same type of society that says well or the same type of group of people
00:04:13.700
that whenever there's a crime they say we have to fix society they never say we have to deal with
00:04:19.780
criminals we have to deal with the criminal element because they refuse to believe that someone or
00:04:26.720
anybody could choose of their own volition right for for various reasons right to conduct crime in this
00:04:35.160
case clearly the individual involved was mentally disturbed um there's videos now popping up of this
00:04:42.280
kid torturing animals carrying around bags full of dead cats was the one video i saw from the
00:04:49.760
new york post and stories of him used driving around with a bb gun and using it to shoot people and
00:04:55.760
shoot animals right it used to be in america that especially in small towns like this you knew you
00:05:02.140
knew who the problem people were and you kept an eye on them you knew who was an issue and number one
00:05:08.820
you kept an eye on them or number two you said you know what this person they rise to the level of
00:05:14.520
needing uh institutional confinement and you would institutionalize them right you would send them to
00:05:20.440
a mental institution a public mental institution where there could they could be observed they could
00:05:25.440
be monitored and hopefully treated right my father worked in one of those institutions for nearly 30 years
00:05:31.500
my grandmother worked there as well where i grew up just outside of philadelphia we had a large one of
00:05:35.940
these it was called the um the pennsylvania state hospital in narstown pennsylvania and so back in the
00:05:42.720
90s i saw them slowly dismantling that system and defunding it breaking it down and i remember asking
00:05:50.780
my dad i said dad what's going to happen to all the people that are inside here where are they going
00:05:56.800
to go who's going to take care of them and he said well they're going to graduate and they're going
00:06:01.780
to go out i remember playing little league in our town when i was a kid and the baseball field
00:06:08.940
ackee field was actually just across from the mental institution literally right across the street
00:06:14.180
there's big fans outside but i remember there being a situation where a patient had escaped
00:06:19.140
and escapees happen from time to time and it was always the talk of the town and so i remember my dad
00:06:26.200
saying you know when we went to baseball practice or we were playing a game there just to be careful to be
00:06:31.580
on lookout because you don't know what type of person might just be walking by the baseball field
00:06:39.880
because it's literally right there right and that's how it used to be in small towns that's how it used
00:06:45.420
to be in a town environment that you knew what was going on you took care of your own if you knew
00:06:50.620
somebody was a problem you kept an eye out for them or you uh you took steps to deal with the issue
00:06:57.400
we don't act like that anymore for some reason we act as if society is to blame for everything that
00:07:04.760
goes wrong and then you turn around and say okay we're going to blame law-abiding gun owners
00:07:10.940
law-abiding owners of however many nine millimeter rounds they want right i'm not even going to say
00:07:18.000
publicly how many nine millimeter rounds i have but guess what every single one of them was purchased
00:07:22.920
lawfully and every single one of them has has only ever been used at the range or for otherwise
00:07:30.120
legal purposes right same with all my ammunition and all my firearms this is something where it has
00:07:37.940
become a cultural touchstone to virtue signal and then you look at canada right it's almost as if
00:07:43.660
it's almost as if biden knows that uh he can't get most of america on board with the things that he's
00:07:51.760
saying so he goes to canada because trudeau is another one of these world economic forum globalist
00:07:58.520
you know uh technocratic liberals so what he does is say look we can't get anyone in the united states
00:08:05.600
to back me up so i've got to go to you and i've got to go to you and act like a vassal state of
00:08:11.440
the globalist american empire and you need to announce a ban on handguns you need to hyper signal you
00:08:19.440
need to hyper signal forward and right now and you watch australia will do something the uk will do
00:08:23.800
something and there's a reason for this the reason for this is inside the united states you do not have
00:08:31.060
the same type of appetite for look i've been over here in europe for the past two weeks the issue
00:08:35.720
obviously the story has come up as i've been here um it's simply seen as a huge difference it's just
00:08:43.140
just looked at differently between the united states and europe right europeans do not have the
00:08:49.900
same gun culture as the u.s but i will say something having come from ukraine just now
00:08:54.340
the people of ukraine would not be able to be fighting back right now in any way if they did not
00:09:01.600
have access to firearms if they didn't have that and you saw the government there was handing out ak-47s
00:09:09.220
like they were candy the candy on christmas early on in this i don't mean to make light of it i'm
00:09:16.980
just making a point chairman mao even said this political power political power grows from the
00:09:22.540
barrel of a gun that's where you get your political power from at the end of the day it comes down to
00:09:29.040
guns and steel and the people of ukraine are fighting back because they know that i've never seen
00:09:35.480
more ak-47s in one place in my life than when i spent this time in ukraine
00:09:42.440
tesla was just knocked off the s&p 500 due to not being woke enough i kid you not that's the latest
00:09:52.880
coming out of wall street you know every day we hear about another major corporation that has gone
00:09:57.380
woke tormenting their employees with leftist propaganda and funding organizations that seem
00:10:01.640
to hate the united states traditional values and the constitution that's why human events daily is

and that audio you hear right there is biden being booed while visiting texas this week the u.s
00:11:34.260
department of justice according to foxnews.com announced sunday that is conducting an investigation
00:11:38.540
into the law enforcement response to the mass school shooting in uvalde texas at the request
00:11:43.580
of the uvalde mayor don mclaughlin the u.s department of justice will conduct a critical
00:11:47.300
incident review of the law enforcement response to the mass shooting in uvalde texas on may 24th
00:11:51.420
spokesman anthony coley said in a statement the goal of the review is to provide an independent
00:11:56.820
account of law enforcement actions and responses that day and to identify lessons learned and best
00:12:02.160
practices to help first responders prepare for and respond to active shooter events the view will be
00:12:07.340
okay all right let's let's let's just cut through this seriously there need to be lawsuits right now
00:12:13.800
and those lawsuits need to be done in conjunction with public inquiries grand juries governor where
00:12:21.060
is governor abbott why is governor abbott not yet said there is going to be a texas attorney general
00:12:27.640
ken paxton the attorney general of texas let's go let's go you got a problem here look i understand
00:12:34.760
that conservatives are the law and order side i understand that conservatives are the ones
00:12:39.500
who say that we want to defend society we want to defend our traditions that's fine but guess what
00:12:44.720
this is not a tradition this is not how our society should work you got a problem here you have an
00:12:49.380
absolute problem i'll tell you what it is i'll tell you exactly what it is you've put police officers
00:12:54.540
in these situations for so long demonize people second guessing them that now we're getting to a point
00:13:01.700
where a lot of the good officers and i said this last year and i said it in 2020 a lot of the good
00:13:06.700
officers have left the force they're going to other other places and you're getting people inside
00:13:12.880
these departments that are just not good they're not good cops and if you have a situation where you
00:13:20.200
don't have good cops it leads to stuff like this i'm sorry but the answer is not abolishing your
00:13:26.700
police force the answer is not ending law and order that would be ridiculous if you didn't have
00:13:32.460
police you wouldn't have someone who was able to stop this shooter
00:13:36.460
they went in there safely and were able to stop the shooter but unfortunately because you had idiots
00:13:46.060
running the department apparently they were told to not go in at first and don't worry about it
00:13:52.200
because that's a barricade they thought it was a hostage situation not an active shooter
00:13:55.760
even as they could hear the gunshots going off the parents were about to run in that's how bad it
00:14:01.580
got we shouldn't be in a situation where the parents are even thinking about rushing in
00:14:08.200
the officers should have rushed in first period
00:14:13.320
there's a huge problem in our society it's a problem of incompetence it's a problem of immorality
00:14:21.840
a lack of duty a lack of sense of urgency a lack of seriousness
00:14:28.420
all of this needs to be addressed and i look to the officials of text because i never i'm going to
00:14:34.900
say this again i never in my life thought that i would see a group of armed texans texans and i
00:14:43.540
say this as a yankee out of pennsylvania but a group of armed texans standing around outside 40 plus
00:14:50.280
minutes while a madman was inside a schoolhouse gunning down children you got a huge problem in our
00:14:59.120
society a massive problem micromanagement mid-level managers no one who is willing to step up and have the
00:15:09.200
courage to do the right thing you know we're talking about standards metrics indices i want to address
00:15:19.060
elon musk's tweet and brian i'm going to get you to comment on that you know musk tweeting that exxon
00:15:26.060
mobile finds itself at the top of an esg ranking and tesla doesn't belong there what's wrong with the
00:15:32.220
world you know that there are about 15 different credible ranking systems of companies right now
00:15:40.500
and of course we've looked at how unilever stacks up on on all of them and on average we do quite
00:15:46.180
well but there are a couple where we don't do very well at all and this is exactly the point of this
00:15:50.760
conversation you shouldn't be able to pick and choose the index that you uh that you demonstrate
00:15:56.020
your credentials against and so um i think elon can relax because there's plenty of other uh rating
00:16:02.800
systems out there where i'm sure tesla will come out absolutely top of the pack um and the real point
00:16:07.860
is we shouldn't pick and choose rating systems there should be a common standard uh that we can all use
00:16:13.240
as asset owners asset managers and companies and that's exactly the work that emmanuel is leading and
00:16:19.240
i think it's an important piece of work well so that's very interesting the audio you're hearing
00:16:23.320
there is the unilever ceo alan jope telling elon musk hey you just relax relax on esg and i'm kind
00:16:31.600
of confused because is he admitting that esg is a scam in this because elon musk essentially came out
00:16:37.340
and said that esg is a scam so what's esg esg is environmental social and governance scores this
00:16:43.040
is essentially and we've been talking about this here on the podcast for a long time about the great
00:16:47.820
reset we're doing a documentary on the great reset charlie's got the book up at tposa.com
00:16:52.440
we went to the world economic forum to explain what the great reset is the medical implications
00:16:57.800
of the great reset through the who so go and make sure you're checking that out we will put this
00:17:02.820
documentary out as soon as it is finished but esg scores are essentially part of the enforcement arm
00:17:08.540
of the great reset whereas blackrock and blackstone they're the operations arms of the great reset
00:17:13.640
and the world economic forum it's basically it basically means that you will get more money for
00:17:18.000
your company if you have a higher score and you get a higher score because of your adherence to woke
00:17:23.860
values on environmental social and government issues and so what does it say elon musk made the
00:17:30.160
comments as tesla lost its place on the s p 500 index for companies in esg issues so look at this now
00:17:38.540
your rankings your ranking so now tesla is no longer a member of according to this and this is from
00:17:45.460
thepostmillennial.com tesla is no longer a member of the s p 500 because of quote esg issues listen
00:17:53.360
to this s p down jones indices head of esg for north america margaret dorn wrote in a blog post
00:17:59.440
doesn't that sound nice look at how many titles this person has by the way right if this was real
00:18:04.680
she would have one title we have too many people with titles out there today just another issue but
00:18:09.740
i digress she wrote that tesla had a relatively stable score for esg year on year but it has
00:18:16.500
been outdone by global industry peers listen to this tesla was ineligible for index inclusion due to
00:18:23.920
its low s p dji esg score three which fell in the bottom 25 percent of its global gics industry group
00:18:33.240
peers it joins berkshire hathaway johnson and johnson and meta which have once again met the index
00:18:39.520
methodologies chopling block a few of the factors contributing to its 2021 s p dji esg score were
00:18:47.920
a decline in criteria level scores relating to tesla's lack of low carbon strategy 5 and codes of
00:18:54.840
business conduct while tesla may be playing its part in taking fuel powered cars off the road
00:18:59.460
it has fallen behind its peers when examined through with a wider esg lens listen to that a wider
00:19:08.380
esg lens and what does that mean well that means whatever they want it to mean they can do whatever
00:19:16.120
they want with it because they're widening the lens more and more if you do not adhere if you are not
00:19:21.420
being woke enough then you can literally make electric cars and still not be good enough because
00:19:26.080
that's what elon musk does right remember this guy was the poster boy of the left and the green
00:19:31.040
movement for a decade a decade plus he was the guy putting uh you know putting electric cars on the
00:19:38.620
road putting the charging stations on the road and getting you know the idea was that you were going to
00:19:43.520
get these uh combustion engines off the road that was the whole point of tesla and so elon's response
00:19:49.340
is this exxon is rated top 10 best in the world for environment social and governance esg by s p 500
00:19:55.860
while tesla didn't even make the list esg has been it is a scam it has been weaponized by phony
00:20:01.080
social justice warriors actually kind of amazing right it's actually kind of i look at this this is
00:20:07.380
from unilever we shouldn't pick and choose rating systems i mean come on i mean that's that's just
00:20:13.280
you're just arguing about the methodology no on you keep changing the methodology the methodology
00:20:19.380
doesn't make any sense it never made any sense you realize what they're doing they're putting
00:20:25.260
political social and cultural issues into the corporate space and this is what i've been talking
00:20:30.660
about for a long time this is the way they're doing it now they realize that they can't institute the
00:20:35.680
great reset through the ballot box and so what they're doing is they're instituting it through
00:20:40.100
corporate finance they realize that if they go into the fed they go into blackrock they go into
00:20:45.640
blackstone they work the esg scores they work the indices they work down jones s p nasdaq etc
00:20:51.980
they will drop your score they will drop you from these lists if you are not woke enough so you know
00:20:58.060
that story and i talked to alex clark about this on the spillover uh like six months ago and i said look
00:21:04.320
you understand why is it that companies seem like they're going woke and there's that meme out there on
00:21:08.980
the internet of get woke go broke get woke go broke right okay but the problem is
00:21:14.000
that's not how the companies are constituted anymore it's not about making money from your
00:21:20.260
products i mean that's part of it right but the real idea is propping up your stock price and if
00:21:26.160
you can prop up your stock price by using um investment and getting a higher esg score then you
00:21:34.820
have access to funds from blackrock and blackstone and they have markets in the trillions of dollars they
00:21:41.880
are managing um funds worth trillions of dollars far far larger than the consumer market understand
00:21:51.940
the situation understand what point of the movie we are in they don't need you anymore these companies
00:22:01.200
are exist on paper they're getting funny money they're getting all of this is being printed and by the way
00:22:06.820
none of this has stopped not none of this has stopped another quantitative easing none of the fed printing
00:22:12.000
you got 40 billion we're not even really sure where it's going in ukraine um i can tell you i i went to
00:22:18.460
ukraine and i have no clue where the 40 billion is going none whatsoever i saw people coming in with
00:22:24.980
tourniquets and body armor health packs food supplies helmets but that was all volunteer based that was all
00:22:34.920
coming in from volunteer organizations as well as a humanitarian aid a lot of great humanitarian aid
00:22:39.880
organizations caritas is the one that i've chosen to support and i've supported all the way through
00:22:44.180
i actually ran into some of the people from caritas at the train station in poland right before we
00:22:49.320
crossed into ukraine and they're there right on the ground they're right there but as far as the 40 billion
00:22:55.060
um you know obviously if it's going directly to a lot of this military aid we know that that's that's
00:23:01.300
that's going to be it's been going to the front lines but you really have to understand you really
00:23:05.560
have to understand the people of ukraine are the ones that it's not touching and that's the same
00:23:10.700
problem isn't it that's the same problem we have here because it's money that doesn't exist and it is
00:23:16.900
on paper it exists on paper and as far as actual benefits to the people not much but benefits to those
00:23:23.920
in power all over the place and that's the entire point of the esg system
00:23:29.380
putin's invasion of ukraine has driven up gas prices and food prices all over the world
00:23:36.780
the two largest grain producers in the world china and i should be ukraine and russia are not doing what
00:23:45.120
they usually do so everything's going up we saw today's inflation data 70 percent of the increase in
00:23:52.700
prices in march came from putin's price hike in gasoline well and there's president biden speaking
00:23:59.380
about how of course it's all russia to blame for the food shortages it's all russia to blame for the
00:24:06.200
inflation it's all russia to blame etc etc etc we know where bidenflation comes from we know that this
00:24:12.160
situation has started with the money printing that's been going on to their buddies we've talked
00:24:17.980
about the cotillion effect how many times have i talked about the cotillion effect seriously
00:24:20.860
it's the idea that those closest to the king benefit at the expense of those further away
00:24:28.600
when the crown injects more gold into the system right that was the cotillion effect all the way back
00:24:36.260
in the kingdom of france in medieval times it is still the same exact economic effect today
00:24:41.440
but russia now has come out and said that it would allow ships carrying food to leave ukrainian ports
00:24:50.040
if some sanctions were lifted so we just got back from the city of odessa odessa has been blockaded
00:24:55.920
now what does that mean well of course ukraine is the breadbasket or one of the breadbaskets of europe
00:25:01.700
and that means that 20 million grains 20 million tons of grains are stuck in ukraine amid a global food
00:25:11.120
crunch the port city of odessa ukraine's largest port has been blockaded since february 24th
00:25:19.140
since the start of the war russia had the russian navy the black sea fleet has been blockading it
00:25:24.420
so the city of odessa and in ukraine they can feed themselves but uh obviously there are trains but
00:25:32.360
they're few and far between ships would be the fastest and most efficient way to get it out
00:25:36.060
but because it's blockaded it's it's gone down to a trickle so this is from business insider a senior
00:25:42.240
russian government official said the kremlin would allow ships carrying food to leave ukrainian ports in
00:25:46.320
exchange for the lifting of sanctions ukrainian ports in the black sea have been blockaded since
00:25:50.540
russia's invasion of february 24th leaving more than 20 million metric tons of grain stuck in
00:25:54.920
ukraine per reuters this disruption is exacerbating a word world food crunch as ukraine accounts for 12
00:26:01.240
percent of global wheat exports and 17 percent of global corn exports remember the world runs on a 90
00:26:09.500
day food supply that's it for the entire planet there are only nine meals between civilization
00:26:18.600
and anarchy there are only nine meals between civilization and anarchy and the world runs
00:26:26.060
on a 90 day food supply you go past that and then you reach the breaking point you're going to see food
00:26:32.620
riots you think what you see at a supermarket or at one of these stores on a black friday sale is bad
00:26:38.140
you haven't seen a look go look at the streets of sri lanka right now go look what's going on down
00:26:42.860
there trincomelie colombo they're rioting in the streets because they can't get food because they
00:26:50.620
can't eat because their children are starving so understand what's going on here these sanctions
00:26:58.840
and this tête-à -tête are going to go back and forth until there is any kind of rapprochement
00:27:04.120
until there is any kind of negotiation that's why kissinger of all people is calling for a
00:27:10.340
negotiated settlement you've got to find a way so what have they said um according to vasily
00:27:18.860
nebesnya the russian ambassador to the united nations they would allow a safe corridor for access
00:27:24.860
to the key odessa port if but only if okay the translation is bad here but only if sanctions
00:27:31.320
were lifted on russian exports and financial transactions because remember a lot of the
00:27:36.640
russian sovereign wealth fund those u.s dollars were frozen they did not expect that going into
00:27:42.440
this so that is a key point of economic leverage but russia on the other hand has two things they've
00:27:49.060
got black gold in terms of the oil and the liquid natural gas under their uh under their surface
00:27:56.280
as well as their reserves they've also got their military and as well as long as they control those
00:28:02.900
two things they can be very powerful in that region this is the entire point the crux where we're at
00:28:10.900
so is it worth it is it worth it um russia of course claims that ukraine mind the ports not us
00:28:18.620
there is a corridor but they're not using it such as they're blaming it on them back and forth back
00:28:22.680
and forth in fact while we were in odessa we actually saw a sign i'm not sure if i mentioned
00:28:27.840
this in the podcast yesterday um but we saw a sign on the beach in odessa that said warning
00:28:34.320
minds right at the local public beach in downtown odessa that there are that do not go on this because
00:28:41.320
there are mines on the beach now that could be real that could be a psyop we're not sure
00:28:45.880
but i'll tell you one thing i'm not going on that beach
00:28:49.060
the leaders of this situation need to come back and figure out a way to come back to the negotiating
00:28:56.940
table ukrainian foreign minister dmitry kuleba hit back at the suggestion calling it clear blackmail
00:29:02.880
and stated you could not find a better example of blackmail in international relations kuleba told
00:29:07.700
the world economic forum in davos on wednesday if anyone is buying it i think there is a problem with
00:29:12.160
that person and we shouldn't waste too much time trying to understand why that person is making
00:29:16.380
that point so again as this war continues more and more people are going to suffer
00:29:23.800
and that's it that's all the time we have today for human events daily remember our promise our
00:29:30.440
oath our solemn vow to you be good be brief be gone uh your homework for us share this out with one
00:29:35.400
just one of your normie friends and leave us your five-star review apple spotify wherever you get your
00:29:39.780
podcasts i've been reading some of the comments coming in on yesterday's podcast now the reviews
00:29:44.380
i really appreciate everybody uh sharing that um very very overwhelmingly positive reviews you know
00:29:51.300
i was about to say we'll do it again but you know we'll we'll do it we'll see what happens we'll see
00:29:55.820
what happens about doing it again but i was worried about the the audio right because we're literally
00:30:02.060
recording this on a soviet era train traveling through the night uh across southern ukraine and i was
00:30:07.760
worried about the audio from the the clacking of the rail lines the metal and the wind coming through
00:30:14.380
because the windows weren't really uh fastened all the way they weren't sealed so what i did was i found
00:30:19.080
a an empty compartment on the train pushed the window as closed as shut as possible and then taped
00:30:26.940
over the window just to try to make the audio sound the background sounds muffled make it to minimus so
00:30:33.000
that it would really just add kind of to the the atmosphere of it but i was hoping that it wouldn't
00:30:36.940
actually overwhelm the sound of the microphone and you know that's that's all i've got here is a
00:30:41.680
microphone and a um microphone on a laptop and um you know fortunately we bought a local sim card
00:30:47.660
and 4g was was available throughout um southern and western ukraine so on three networks uh vodafone
00:30:54.760
uh life cell and um ukraine star and so we were able to get that out well from i literally uploaded
00:31:03.100
it from the train back to the folks uh on our team back in the u.s and they were able to produce that
00:31:08.760
clean up the audio a little bit so really appreciate that producer mike producer shah everything they did
00:31:13.680
to make that podcast come out what did we talk about today biden president biden saying the second
00:31:18.460
amendment was never absolute and trudeau implementing a national freeze on handgun sales across canada
00:31:23.300
the department of justice to investigate police response to uvaldi shooting the unilever ceo telling
00:31:28.880
elon must to relax after he called esg rankings a scam and russia standing ready to help overcome
00:31:33.740
the food crisis but in exchange for the left the the west lifting sanctions imposed over ukraine
00:31:39.580
putin in call withdrawing but before we go it's time for today's moment of history may 31st 1862
00:31:46.620
during the american civil war the battle of seven pines occurred as confederate general joseph e
00:31:52.020
johnston's army attacked union general george mcclellan's troops in front of richmond virginia
00:31:57.220
and nearly defeated them johnston was badly wounded and confederate general robert e lee then assumed
00:32:04.120
command replacing the wounded johnston lee renamed his force the army of northern virginia and this was
00:32:10.900
one of the events that led to lee becoming essentially the overall military commander of the confederates
00:32:16.400
today is may 31st 2022 and no domine ladies and gentlemen as always you have my permission to lay ashore
