00:00:00.000
buddy come on in grab a seat there's room up front uh we won't mention your stocks today
00:00:12.400
not a good day for the stock market but on the other hand
00:00:15.360
it always goes up and down no big deal right all right let's see i believe i needed this
00:00:23.040
everybody stream on in here you don't want to miss the good stuff
00:00:35.120
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called
00:00:39.200
coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to experiment
00:00:45.360
trying to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their
00:00:49.760
tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass of tanker chalice
00:00:57.040
and a canteen jugger flask a vessel of any kind all right how many would like me to say that again
00:01:04.320
but in old timey voice old timey voice okay same thing but old timey voice
00:01:11.840
yeah there's a cup and a mug and a glass and uh there's a tanker chalice stand we had a canteen
00:01:16.560
joker flask or a vessel of any kind he'd fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee join me
00:01:22.720
now for the unfair low pleasure of the dopamine of the day thing that makes everything better it's called
00:01:29.040
the simultaneous sip from the 40s and it happens now
00:01:37.440
did you ever wonder why everybody talked like that
00:01:39.440
that i've never figured that out like did they all get together and say hey bomb the way you're
00:01:46.960
talking that's very cool i think i'll copy it now i don't know if you can it's just the way i talk
00:01:52.720
just watch me see i'm doing it too and then you know somebody else hears them like what are you guys
00:01:59.040
doing you talking old timey how do you know it's old timey it's still the present day i know i just feel
00:02:04.800
it will be old timey someday next thing you know everybody's talking that that's how it happens
00:02:11.200
all right you're wondering where's your refrain for the day that will change your life make everything
00:02:19.200
better better i just happen to have one for you it's all queued up
00:02:27.360
um do you ever have a situation where there's something you know you need to do
00:02:31.040
but you can't get yourself motivated to do it because it's hard or it's unpleasant or it's going
00:02:38.240
to hurt everybody right so we all have these procrastination situations not because we're
00:02:46.480
procrastinators per se but because the thing is just sort of unpleasant so you could just keep putting
00:02:52.800
it off but you know you have to do it you know like a dental appointment or something you know you have
00:02:58.720
to do it so here's the reframe instead of i'm afraid to do the thing i know i should do it's
00:03:04.640
usually fear that keeps you from doing it instead of that you say life is short now you might say to
00:03:10.880
me scott that doesn't really seem to line up with the original frame it is that really the answer to
00:03:18.960
i'm afraid to do the things i know i should do is the answer that life is short and the answer is yes
00:03:25.600
yes because once you set your brain to the idea that you don't have infinite time then everything
00:03:33.280
seems more important including that thing you have to do so as long as you say life is short
00:03:40.720
and then you just sort of think that way for a moment watch how easy it is to do unpleasant things
00:03:47.200
because you'll think you know what life is short it's also easier to do pleasant things when you say
00:03:52.720
life is short but you'll be surprised how unpleasant things become easy when you think in those terms
00:03:59.840
that's your reframe for the day that one you're gonna have to try because logic will not tell you
00:04:04.880
that that works and i've told you before that reframes are special in the sense that they don't have to
00:04:11.600
make sense i don't know how many things would fall into that category but it's a unique category the
00:04:18.240
the reframe doesn't have to be logical or factual it just has to work and if putting yourself in
00:04:25.360
that frame of mind that life is short if it works well you just do it that's that's the whole that's
00:04:32.960
the whole idea now some of you want to catch up on the saga of carl the fly if you were here yesterday
00:04:39.920
you know that carl the fly was a very plucky and determined fly and he decided that for my entire
00:04:46.720
show he would have some place to sit on my body to give me the most unpleasant morning you've ever had
00:04:54.240
that involved a fly and so i promised you that i would hunt that fly to the end of the earth and so
00:05:02.880
after the show was over i made many attempts to take out carl but damn carl is good carl is my
00:05:11.680
maybe the smartest and strongest fly i've ever i've ever had the pleasure to have known so i tried
00:05:18.240
slapping him and several times of course i thought i got him you know how you do that really good slap
00:05:23.520
you're like oh i don't see the body i don't see the corpse but there's no way no way carl could have
00:05:30.800
gotten away and then carl flies by you're like oh damn it damn it so finally after much work i killed
00:05:40.160
carl i killed carl i trapped him in a space it's a long story but i got him and uh i i happily told my
00:05:50.880
caretaker it's like got him i got carl finally how long did it take before the real carl showed up
00:05:58.720
and i learned that carl not only is strong and smart and plucky but he had a body double he had a
00:06:06.640
body double i did not see that coming i was ever smarted by the fly so i did what anyone would do
00:06:14.800
if they were ukrainian i immediately asked the united states for some military assistance and as luck
00:06:22.400
would have it i got a salt gun that literally shoots grains of salt at flies and i um i deputized
00:06:31.520
my caretaker to uh operate the weapon and uh she did a little safari inside my man cave here there were
00:06:40.880
a few misses but once she got him down oh man it was brutal she got him on the ground and she just
00:06:47.840
started blasting his little body and even that wouldn't kill him i swear he had he had some
00:06:53.840
kind of a flak jacket on or something i've just never seen a fly that tough but in the end he did
00:07:01.680
fall to our superior military power i did have to use a drone with a with a gps anyway carl the fly
00:07:12.080
we loved him but he had to go speaking of horrible little disgusting things
00:07:20.960
oh this could go the wrong direction if i say the next thing i was going to say
00:07:24.880
uh back that up because it's going to sound like i'm talking about the person not the thing
00:07:31.760
i'm talking about a thing not a person uh palmer lucky who's awesome by the way i like palmer lucky
00:07:39.920
uh he said in a podcast recently he said quote i flirt with the idea that smart tvs should be illegal
00:07:47.680
i hate them so much what's funny about that is that just yesterday i was talking about throwing away
00:07:54.000
my television because not a single time have i been able to make it work why it's a smart tv
00:08:01.760
and uh my current setup in my house is using apple tvs uh individually for each tv which is a really
00:08:10.960
good system but if you try to put your apple tv on your smart tv you don't know what the f is going
00:08:18.320
to happen i mean just all kinds of things start showing up and advertisements and you don't even
00:08:23.840
know what mode it's in you can't tell the you can't tell the business model they're using you just
00:08:29.200
totally lost and every time it happened i would use up all the time i had for watching tv with trying
00:08:37.680
to make the tv work and my my reasoning was very simple if i can get this to work that's just once
00:08:44.640
i have to do that and then after that i'll happily be watching tv nope not with this smart tv no it
00:08:51.280
now smarted me like carl the fly it uh it would act differently it would throw me things it would
00:08:58.160
sometimes work and sometimes not sometimes you have to reboot sometimes you it seemed like there
00:09:04.000
were two different ways or three different ways to get the apple tv and so yesterday i was literally in
00:09:11.040
my living room talking to somebody and said you know i just want to throw that away because not once and
00:09:17.920
this is by the way this is the tv in my living room so it's one of the ones you would use if it worked
00:09:25.360
and now it's been i don't know how many years maybe five years it's probably been five years and
00:09:30.400
i've not watched a single show on that tv because i can't but you don't want to throw away a tv right
00:09:37.120
like your brain can't really wrap its head around that like i'm not going to throw away a tv
00:09:43.280
yes i am i'm going to throw away the tv and if anybody wants a smart tv come and get it no don't
00:09:50.480
don't do that don't come to my house for my tv because somebody will get here first and then you'll
00:09:55.280

play responsibly well you know that uh wikipedia has a competitor grok grokipedia turns out that was a
00:11:04.480
temporary name elon says that once grokipedia his version of wikipedia once it becomes what he calls good enough
00:11:14.640
uh he's going to rebrand it to encyclopedia galactica
00:11:24.320
isn't can somebody give me a fact check on this
00:11:27.440
isn't elon musk supposed to be not good at this you know meaning he's on the spectrum
00:11:35.920
how can he be good at this too this meaning coming up with clever names for stuff that are that are
00:11:41.920
catchy that's a really good name am i wrong or do you do you see it as soon as you see the names you
00:11:50.880
say oh whoa that's a pretty good name and that's very rare if you look at all the times that anybody
00:11:56.960
has renamed anything in any domain usually you're ambivalent or you're like i don't like it but this
00:12:04.800
is just a dead cold winter did he come up with that or did he was he smart enough to recognize how good it
00:12:11.200
was you know it's weird every time elon does something that's clearly shows he has a very advanced
00:12:17.920
sense of humor isn't that exactly what you're not supposed to have like the whole point of being
00:12:24.320
on the spectrum is you get maybe in some cases certain advantages but there's a trade-off but
00:12:31.360
maybe the trade-off is you know social awareness i don't think he has any problem with social awareness
00:12:37.840
i don't think he has a problem with humor and he certainly he can read the room and come up with a
00:12:44.000
good name of a product and he obviously all of his products have one thing in common
00:12:50.400
that he got the user interface and the user interaction right how do you do that if you're on
00:12:56.000
the spectrum there's something unexplained about him that i find fascinating you know he's not supposed
00:13:06.960
to be good at this too so i guess he is there's a new report from marijuana moment kyle jager or jagger
00:13:16.720
he's writing about it it says that women who use marijuana at a quote high intensity report greater
00:13:22.800
romantic relationship satisfaction but it doesn't work for men so if women do a lot of marijuana intensely
00:13:38.720
but it doesn't work for men uh i mean men are happy with the relationship with the woman
00:13:44.640
but if the man is the one who's intensely doing it how many of you didn't know that
00:13:52.000
just try to imagine this for a second you're uh you're in your 20s i'll just pick a time and you're
00:14:00.560
in a long-term relationship and you come home and your your wife or your significant other is really
00:14:07.920
really high what's your first thought men i'll just i'll just wait on this one what's your first thought
00:14:17.040
men what what what what crosses your mind when you come home and find your woman is really really high
00:14:23.600
that's right i i don't have to do i have to finish this if you come home and you find out that your
00:14:35.360
your wife is really stoned you're thinking sex you're thinking sex are you happier yeah probably
00:14:42.560
is it more likely that you're gonna have some oh yeah definitely definitely all right now let's reverse it
00:14:49.360
uh wife comes home with a girlfriend and uh she's not high but she sees that her her spouse the guy
00:14:59.440
is high as a kite what's her first thought oh damn it he's gonna be playing video games with his
00:15:07.600
buddies all night yeah what you don't think is that oh he's suddenly ready for sex
00:15:15.600
because he's always ready for sex so that that's not even a variable that you need to check
00:15:23.120
but but if he's really high he might not want to go out with you and your friends he might want to
00:15:28.000
stay home and play some video games so there's no way in the world that you didn't all know
00:15:33.360
that if the wife is stoned it might be a good news and if the husband's stoned it might be bad news
00:15:47.120
all right um here's a story i should have followed more closely but i thought it was about something
00:15:54.240
else so the there's some new legislation about the hemp industry and apparently they made it illegal to
00:16:04.720
have any kind of hemp product that would have any thc in it at all basically
00:16:11.200
uh i thought it was about hemp i didn't realize it would include the active ingredient stuff
00:16:17.920
so of course i'm not in favor of this i'm not even sure if the people who voted for it even
00:16:22.640
understood what they were voting for i really don't um but they're going to ban all hemp derived
00:16:28.800
products containing thc i didn't realize that in the farm bill of 2018 they had legalized hemp
00:16:37.760
and then a whole bunch of farmers said oh we could make some money on this hemp stuff
00:16:42.240
and so they made a bunch of money on the hemp and then i think it was ran paul who was pointing out
00:16:47.840
that uh if you yank it away your government is just screwing with you you know at the very
00:16:53.360
least your government should not make things worse am i right it just shouldn't make things worse but
00:16:59.600
imagine imagine using your legislation to essentially create an entire industry in the ag domain which
00:17:07.280
is hemp then a whole bunch of people say oh i can finally survive because you know the other farming
00:17:13.760
things weren't working out so they start a hemp farm and it works and they make money and they get a
00:17:20.480
few good years of hemp and then the government comes back and says oh by the way it's illegal now
00:17:26.320
are you kidding me are you kidding me i don't even care what the details are of the hemp of why they
00:17:34.400
did it or why they wouldn't want to do it i don't care you cannot be a government and yank farmers around
00:17:41.920
you gotta you gotta settle into something now obviously if there's a problem you want to fix the
00:17:47.280
problem but was this a problem people were complaining about do you remember anybody coming
00:17:53.440
up to you and saying oh my goodness the the legalized hemp is causing me so much trouble no no you don't
00:18:01.280
yank that away from the farmers so if there's one thing i can teach you about economics there are only a
00:18:07.120
few things about economics that are just absolutely you know ironclad rules one of the ironclad rules of
00:18:16.400
at least national economics is you don't mess with stuff unless you have a really good reason
00:18:22.560
you don't check you don't change the taxes even if they're too high unless you have a good reason
00:18:29.200
you don't change the tariffs you don't change anything you don't change anything in the in the
00:18:34.640
economy unless you've got a really really strong reason i don't think they have one to me this looks
00:18:40.960
like a just a mistake so i hope it gets corrected we'll see congress is also going to have some
00:18:48.400
hearings on congressional stock trading you know that congress is the only ones who can do insider
00:18:55.120
trading legally what do you think congress will decide about their own ability to do insider trading and
00:19:02.560
make a lot of money without any risk well any any legal risk for insider trading i feel like this is
00:19:11.280
just for a show do you think there's any chance in the world they're going to ban insider trading but
00:19:18.640
here's what i'd love and i'll bet you'll never see it do you think you're going to see the argument in
00:19:24.160
favor of insider trading how many of you think that somebody's going to stand up in congress somebody
00:19:30.400
elected to be a member of congress and give an argument in favor of insider trading but only for
00:19:37.600
them do you think that's going to happen because that's that's what's being called for right the
00:19:43.920
entire point of having the hearing is that we hear the argument on both sides well the argument against it
00:19:51.520
is moronically simple right i don't even need to repeat it every single person understands the argument
00:19:58.800
against it what exactly is the argument for it now i've actually heard somebody support it i won't
00:20:07.600
i won't mention who but the support was we don't make enough money unless we do this
00:20:13.840
from an actual you know member of the government we don't make enough money to essentially support
00:20:21.280
living here and having a house in our district plus all the other things that don't get reimbursed
00:20:26.880
uh we just don't have a way to survive unless we're doing insider trading legally legally what do you
00:20:35.200
think of that argument i don't think they can say that out loud because it just doesn't sound good even
00:20:43.120
if that's what you're thinking so if you were going to compromise i would offer the following you know
00:20:51.120
that there's at least one entity there might be more by now that are tracking the insider trading of
00:20:56.800
at least nancy pelosi when she was doing it and then they would give you an option of buying what they
00:21:02.480
bought would you be happy if it was way more easy and everybody understood that they too could get the
00:21:11.360
benefit of insider trading by doing a fast follow maybe even automated of the insiders
00:21:22.560
oh andy you're too smart um what do you think of that because there's no way that they're going to
00:21:30.560
get rid of it because it's just too profitable and there's no way that the issue will go away so we'll keep
00:21:37.040
complaining about it if you were going to try to find the middle ground something we could all live
00:21:42.720
with i would be semi okay it's not ideal but i'd be okay if i could just fast follow and say uh 12
00:21:53.600
seconds after your trade goes in mine just follows i put some limit on it so it's not a lot of money
00:22:00.240
but it would just be some fund of money that matches roughly matches what you're doing
00:22:09.600
well that's the best idea i have probably nothing happened this episode is brought to you by peloton

can you believe that a soros backed group called indivisible soros backs a lot of groups but that's one
00:22:47.600
of his big ones that we hear about uh indivisible is trying to get rid of chuck schumer new york post is
00:22:54.640
reporting and uh as you know republicans are not a big fan of schumer so how would you like to meet
00:23:02.880
chuck schumer and you can't make either trump or soros happy about what you're doing and they both want
00:23:08.320
to get rid of you actually i don't even know if trump wants to get rid of him trump might be happy having
00:23:14.320
him because he's such a weak weak competitor but uh nobody loves him and but finally uh so the good
00:23:23.680
news is that chuck schumer has found a way to unite us is is there even one topic in the entire country
00:23:31.200
where a severe leftist and i would completely agree like you can imagine this situation right
00:23:39.120
somebody with green hair and all kinds of tattoos and annoying signs walks up to me and says
00:23:46.080
we got to get rid of chuck schumer are you on board and then i look looking like a cpa go yeah i'm on
00:23:54.880
board let's get this done we'll get rid of schumer unifying
00:24:03.920
well trump has uh okayed some oil gas drilling in alaska's a wildlife refuge this is the sort of story
00:24:11.280
i feel i'm underserved on if i told you that uh trump had approved drilling or explanation exploration
00:24:22.720
on this wildlife refuge what's the first question you'd ask and is the answer to that question or
00:24:30.400
even the fact that it's a question in the article what's the number one thing you'd want to know to
00:24:36.240
understand this the number one thing you want to know is what percentage of the total wildlife
00:24:43.760
refuge would be impacted especially if something went wrong let's say worst case scenario something
00:24:50.080
breaks pipeline breaks what percentage of the total area would be destroyed
00:24:59.680
well i don't know the answer to that and i don't even have a guess
00:25:03.120
i don't even have a sense of range it's not 75 percent right if there were a pipeline leak would it
00:25:10.960
destroy 75 percent of the wildlife refuge i doubt it i don't know what the real number is but it's
00:25:16.880
probably not 75 percent would it be 10 percent do you think 10 percent of our invaluable irreplaceable
00:25:26.160
wildlife could be destroyed if worst case i'm saying worst case scenario 10 i don't think so do you have
00:25:34.880
any idea how much land would be 10 i mean that would be a lot so i feel like this is the kind of story
00:25:43.040
that if you don't know that it's a you know postage stamp sized risk if it is by the way if it's not that
00:25:51.680
small a risk somebody fact check me i don't want to mislead you um so if you ask me if i'm in favor
00:25:58.960
of it or not in favor of it how can i decide they have not given me enough information to decide
00:26:06.160
obviously i'm biased toward more energy explanation exploration you know that but i don't know is it one
00:26:13.440
percent ten percent here's a study that feels like it just comes out every year for decades
00:26:21.280
according to the university of victoria testosterone in your body odor is linked to perceptions of social
00:26:27.680
status apparently both men and women can smell your testosterone does that does that make you afraid a
00:26:35.840
little bit that men and women can smell your testosterone it's true we're very sensitive to it
00:26:43.120
in fact when uh carl the fly was fighting me i got a little whiff of his testosterone and i i gotta
00:26:48.720
say i was impressed that little guy he was just packed with testosterone anyway if you're if you're
00:26:56.480
joining the stream late i love how nonsensical that sounded you'll just have to ask somebody else about
00:27:05.440
carl the fly um but it seems to me that for decades the same study has been coming out oh women can
00:27:15.520
smell testosterone again oh women can smell testosterone oh men can smell testosterone i don't know i would
00:27:22.880
keep studying it just ask me i would have told you well zoran mandani he wants to use more social workers
00:27:32.080
for the 911 calls as opposed to the fire department and police and apparently that's been something
00:27:39.280
they've been testing uh prior to mom domi so they've been testing it since 19 i'm sorry 20 since uh 2019
00:27:51.360
20 21 so they've been testing it's called be heard so it's a pilot program now a pilot program that's been
00:27:59.040
running for five years isn't it sort of time to decide whether it worked what do you think did the
00:28:06.480
pilot program work in which they would more likely send you a social worker than a a police or fire
00:28:14.240
department person did that work it's been five years so now they would have a good good sense of
00:28:20.800
whether it works or not well according to uh a political veteran named bill cunningham who once
00:28:29.920
served under michael bloomberg when he was mayor um cunningham says that the program needs quote stronger
00:28:38.400
management oh i think i found the problem but in what world do democrats give strong management to
00:28:47.760
anything in what world no i'm going to argue with him you're you're saying dumb idea so i'm going to
00:28:54.880
surprise you the question of whether replacing the the first responder types with social workers that has
00:29:04.160
not been tested even though it's a pilot program and it's run for five years they haven't tested it
00:29:12.560
why exactly what cunningham is saying is that it needs stronger management if you take a great idea
00:29:19.200
and then you throw terrible management at it or you hire people for it that are your cronies it's not
00:29:24.560
going to work it doesn't matter how good the idea is so we really don't know if this could work
00:29:33.200
is that fair now i realize that with my audience i'm supposed to say mamdami is a communist or at least a
00:29:40.800
socialist and what we should do is get rid of him and every single one of his ideas is bad
00:29:46.640
i really don't think every one of his ideas is bad unless you overlay on it that it will be managed
00:29:53.600
by democrats because i don't think that they hire for merit i think they hire for identity that they
00:30:01.520
kind of say they do right so if you take any good idea in the world any good idea and then you
00:30:08.640
have it run by people who can't make anything work and then it doesn't work do you conclude that the
00:30:16.160
idea was bad that's not really that doesn't follow the only thing you can conclude is that one group of
00:30:23.280
people democrats don't seem to be good at managing anything now you could argue and i wouldn't push
00:30:30.320
back too hard that republicans if they're part of the government also don't do anything well the
00:30:35.920
government never does anything the more money you give to the government the worse it is etc i
00:30:40.640
wouldn't push back on that but there definitely seems to be a difference between democrats just
00:30:47.840
trying to manage anything versus republicans trying to manage anything there does seem to be a difference
00:30:56.560
so here's what i would caution against you know i know you don't want mom dummy to be too successful
00:31:02.480
but why would you throw away the idea that you might have some option for lower cost 9-1-1 responses
00:31:12.640
that would be part of the benefit if you did it right and that it might be more on point
00:31:17.600
because for some of them it's not about the danger it's about the um it's about the specific
00:31:23.120
situation now most of you understood right i think you understood that nobody ever said send the social worker
00:31:32.240
to a domestic violence place where the violence is happening at the moment you all know that right
00:31:39.280
that that's sort of just something somebody says to mock it they're not sending somebody instead of
00:31:45.760
the police to anything dangerous if it's dangerous they would still send the police even under the pilot
00:31:52.160
program so there's no scenario where you send an untrained person into a dangerous situation either either
00:32:08.800
communism wasn't implemented correctly well did i say that here i love it when people have to
00:32:15.200
make up a quote for me and put it in quotes to prove me wrong so somebody just did that trick in the
00:32:21.840
comments so somebody put in quotes as if it's something i did say or would say that communism was
00:32:30.160
great if it had been if it had been implemented correctly did i say that was was there uh some
00:32:37.520
place that i don't remember this morning where i said every idea in the world is a great idea
00:32:42.240
you just have to implement it correctly did somebody hear me say that did i hallucinate that no you
00:32:49.360
fucking idiot every idea is a different idea sometimes they're good ideas sometimes they're
00:32:54.880
bad ideas what do you like do you like to do uh never mind you're not worth it you're just not
00:33:04.000
fucking worth it can we make one agreement there is such thing as good ideas and bad ideas can we get
00:33:14.800
that far can we agree that there's such a thing as good ideas and bad ideas can we further agree
00:33:22.800
that a good idea will never work if you have bad implementation can we agree on that
00:33:28.240
can we also agree that if it's a bad idea a good implementation probably won't save it can we agree
00:33:36.560
on that i'm not saying anything you don't agree with so stop pretending and putting my stop putting my
00:33:43.840
words in fake quotes and acting like i'm a fucking idiot because i agree with you completely
00:33:50.640
right if we're on the same side on this topic calling me dumb about it is kind of calling yourself
00:33:57.360
dumb anyway stocks uh plunged because the market real because the government reopened
00:34:06.960
does that give you any confidence in your government that the minute it reopens the
00:34:11.600
stocks plunge but when it was closed the stocks were resuming the moment that we think the government
00:34:18.320
might do something oh no oh no the government might do something that's so good we don't want our
00:34:25.760
government doing stuff sell your stocks at desjardins we speak business we speak startup funding and

00:34:52.000
count on us and contact desjardins today we'd love to talk business
00:35:02.960
well according to pj media katherine salgado was writing
00:35:08.640
that uh 500 000 double dippers on the snap program so snap is where people who need help with food
00:35:18.080
could get the government food assistance called snap and there are 500 000 of them that were double
00:35:26.160
dipping meaning that they were getting more than one dose of it and there were 5 000 dead people on the
00:35:33.520
just in 29 states now that's just 29 states so the other states i think didn't allow them to look into it
00:35:40.480
or something but we assume it's at least that much problem or worse um how in the world do we get to
00:35:49.360
this i swear to god um when i drive around i look at the how expensive the houses are uh in some areas
00:36:00.080
not everywhere i think to myself my common sense doesn't understand how this many people could buy this
00:36:07.040
many good houses you ever had that thought and i think to myself is this because of crime if you had
00:36:17.360
a secret way to view your residential neighborhood so somehow you could just put on glasses and you
00:36:23.760
could tell which of the homes were only afforded because of a criminal activity it'd be like more than
00:36:30.480
you think uh how many of them are only affordable because somebody somebody uh had an estate that
00:36:37.920
they inherited well there'll be a few um but what you wouldn't find is a whole bunch of people who got
00:36:45.680
a good job and they could afford a nice house there'd be a lot of that but there's a tremendous amount
00:36:52.000
of wealth in this country that's sketchy and i'm thinking that the sketchy amounts are bigger than the
00:37:00.240
legitimate amounts at this point it feels that way does it not feel that way to you like seriously
00:37:08.640
it looks like people are embezzling from their company or they stole from somebody i can't
00:37:13.440
understand how so many people have so many nice houses given the cost of living in california now i
00:37:19.440
understand why i have a nice house you know i'm a public figure i have a i have a kind of job where
00:37:26.480
you can guess how much i make practically so i understand why i do but why do all the other
00:37:31.840
people have nice houses do they all have amazing jobs well something's going on well here's another
00:37:41.840
evergreen story that just never goes away there's a therapist who says that trump derangement syndrome
00:37:47.600
is real how many times do we have to hear that doesn't everybody know that trump derangement syndrome
00:37:54.080
is real it's about as real as you can get yeah it's very real um let's see joe rogan had a guest
00:38:03.840
gavin de becker who's uh he was a interesting guy um gavin i've had some brief interactions with him
00:38:14.000
and he was very kind very generous um so i like gavin de becker
00:38:18.720
anyway he says that uh we're not hearing enough about what the maha people and rfk jr in particular
00:38:28.080
are succeeding at so he says that there have been some significant wins for rfk jr but the press is
00:38:35.760
kind of downplaying them but let's let's test so he gave some examples uh removing mercury from all
00:38:43.520
vaccines so that's something that rfk jr got done how many of you knew that he got mercury removed from
00:38:53.200
all vaccines now i don't think that there were many left that had it i i think there was a relatively
00:39:00.400
small number of vaccines that still had it but he got rid of them now i don't know if um i don't think
00:39:06.240
there's a counter-argument i guess there's always a counter-argument but um maybe that made a
00:39:13.600
difference i'm no scientist so i don't know for sure but maybe it made a difference he uh stopped a
00:39:20.240
bunch of mrna research projects that didn't look promising that's again a gavin de becker's take he
00:39:27.120
said uh he stopped fluoride in water uh or he's recommending against it i don't know if he stopped
00:39:32.640
it or recommended against it if that made a difference that seems pretty big um and a bunch
00:39:40.400
of things he's doing with food more about the dyes i think um so there's a lot happening there i'm not
00:39:46.960
sure we're totally totally informed but the reason that we don't necessarily hear that uh government good
00:39:55.520
and big pharma and big ag not always so good is that de becker says that something like over 90
00:40:02.480
percent of cable news channels are sponsored by pharma in fact something like 80 something percent is
00:40:10.320
just pfizer all by itself is that true is it true that 80 percent of cable news funding is one company
00:40:26.800
um yeah and and i'd also use uh a point to something that oh what's his name the the seven
00:40:38.160
words you can't say on tv who's the famous comedian whose name i'm blanking on i you know yes but anyway
00:40:47.360
he said that you don't have to have a you don't have to have a conspiracy if everybody knows what they're
00:40:53.520
supposed to do and certainly every single member of the cable news world yeah george carlin thank you
00:41:02.480
george carlin is the answer so george carlin pointed out that the bad guys you know the the rich people
00:41:09.600
they don't have to have a meeting to coordinate because they all know what's good for rich guys
00:41:14.480
so they just all do what's good for them and that's good for the other rich guys
00:41:18.320
i think this is one of those cases that you don't have to tell the on-air host what they can and
00:41:24.880
cannot say they know what they can and cannot say so it looks like an invisible crime it's not really
00:41:33.280
a crime but you know invisible bad behavior all right i hate to bring it up but do any of you know what
00:41:45.680
the republican health care plan is anybody what do you think is the quote republican health care plan
00:41:56.160
and can you take the republicans seriously if they don't have one uh you know every now and then
00:42:04.160
some democrat will you know be debating me on whether trump's a good idea or a bad idea
00:42:11.120
and when they get to health care i just go i'm out nope as far as i know republicans are doing
00:42:20.240
basically nothing on health care and it's our you know one of our biggest problems if you argue that
00:42:26.480
health care is a big component of the debt which it probably is um then it's extra bad
00:42:33.600
right so here i had to ask uh grok because i didn't even know what what republicans were sort of pushing
00:42:43.920
here are some of the things that grok says republicans are pushing block grants to states for medicaid
00:42:52.080
okay how is that a plan that's not a plan that's just giving them money to do the thing they're already
00:43:00.640
doing that's not a plan that's nothing well are you supposed to save money by doing that
00:43:07.040
what exactly would be even the point obviously you want to fund health care but is that the good way
00:43:13.840
to do it what's the argument i don't even get that then uh republicans like health savings accounts
00:43:21.600
where you could put money in your own account and it would grow and someday if you had a problem you
00:43:25.760
could use it i don't really think that's an answer that doesn't look like a real it might be a might
00:43:32.480
be an answer on top of a health care plan but it's not a health care plan uh tort reform where it would
00:43:41.680
be harder to sue your doctor you know i would listen to the argument on that i can imagine that tort reform
00:43:49.360
is necessary but is that is that your health care plan tort reform how about uh price transparency at
00:43:59.440
hospitals so republicans want more price transparency haven't we wanted that for 25 years and nothing
00:44:09.680
happens presumably because you know eventually it reaches somebody who makes money by makes money by
00:44:18.720
not telling you the prices of things and you know they have some political connection so they just stop
00:44:24.640
it so it looks to me like the republicans have a grab bag of things that are sort of in that domain
00:44:32.960
but nothing like a plan do you know why republicans don't have a health care plan do you know the reason
00:44:40.560
i know the reason none of you know the reason it's the same same reason the democrats don't have a
00:44:53.040
workable health care plan does that help so the democrats have a plan which is just spend unlimited money
00:45:02.880
on it and you'll be fine that's not really a plan so why is it that neither the left nor the right can
00:45:10.400
even come up with a plan something you would call a plan like they might call it a plan but would you
00:45:16.720
call it a plan if the plan is just oh allocate more money you'll be fine it's not really a plan not much of
00:45:24.880
a plan the answer is this nobody knows how to do it if somebody on the left or somebody in the right
00:45:31.760
had an idea and they could explain it and it made sense and it could save money
00:45:40.160
well then we might have something to talk about right nobody has an idea do you know the only way
00:45:46.480
out of this is if elon musk makes a robot hospital nothing else is going to work let me say it again
00:45:57.200
the one and only way to get a health care plan as far as i can tell if you've got a better idea
00:46:02.880
let me know would be elon musk literally building a robot hospital to test it and then maybe later
00:46:10.800
there'll be robot you know urgent cares and robot general practitioners and stuff like that but there
00:46:17.680
doesn't seem to be a path where human beings are providing health care and everybody can afford it
00:46:26.560
the everybody can afford it part can be solved by the robots the access even if you're in a remote place
00:46:34.480
can be solved by robots your robot can show up in the middle of the night
00:46:38.320
uh do you know how many times i've had a medical problem on a weekend good luck you have to go to
00:46:45.200
the emergency room but wouldn't it be better if your tesla self-driving doctor pulled up to your
00:46:51.840
house at any time of day because they don't have to sleep and uh and if you needed a specialty piece
00:46:58.320
of equipment then the robot would already be on the line and say uh we're gonna need an echocardiogram
00:47:05.040
um here's the address and then suddenly another tesla pulls up and the only thing it's doing is
00:47:11.280
delivering that piece of equipment that will be used then and then return to the return to the
00:47:18.800
to the big bucket in the sky so unless you're thinking of health care so radically
00:47:26.880
that you're completely just redoing it and ripping it out uh the way the way elon approaches something by
00:47:32.960
the way you have you heard uh elon must talk about the biggest problem that engineers make
00:47:39.440
boy does this apply in this case he says the biggest problem the engineers make on any any domain
00:47:45.520
is that they try to optimize something that shouldn't have existed now healthcare should exist
00:47:52.640
but should we be optimizing human healthcare in hospitals you have to ask that question is that the
00:47:59.200
thing we should be optimizing well a little bit because they exist and you don't want them to
00:48:03.440
fall apart and stuff but shouldn't we be looking at something that's completely different built from
00:48:10.080
the bottom up there's only one person i know in the united states who could pull that off and he's kind
00:48:16.160
of busy at the moment um and i don't even know if it'd be profitable so i don't you know you need it to be
00:48:23.920
profitable but i would say that here's what we need we need some way to at least tell a story
00:48:32.960
that we can move from what we have to something like an ai driven robot driven somebody will come
00:48:39.920
to your house um you'll always be you know one call away from some advanced intelligence that knows what you
00:48:48.720
need um so it seems to me that without that level of um you know deep deep re-engineering
00:48:59.920
we don't have a chance we don't have a chance at the very least i would love to hear what let's say
00:49:07.440
mark cuban elon musk uh i'll throw in bill gates i know i know what you think about that um
00:49:14.400
what why are not our smartest people already telling us how to do this is it because they
00:49:22.880
can't figure it out either it might be it might be they can't figure it out either
00:49:29.600
but i would love to see the most aggressive and by the way all this can be tested small
00:49:35.440
so you don't have to turn the entire united states into a different system and hope you got lucky
00:49:40.480
you could say all right we're going to test this in this one county it's not even that populated
00:49:45.920
and we'll do a bunch of things but in another county maybe we'll try a few other things and then in a
00:49:51.440
year we'll look at it i would be happy or if somebody said we don't have any way to reduce the cost today
00:50:01.840
so we're just going to fund it but in five years you're definitely going to have an ai doctor or
00:50:09.200
some people will not everybody and then you you draw your budget such that it goes down because
00:50:16.560
you're getting rid of the people getting rid of the people it's not the goal but you're reducing costs
00:50:22.800
over time by bringing the ai in so i also wonder what percentage of all our health care costs are
00:50:31.760
administrative and bullshit and government regulations and paperwork if it turns out that
00:50:37.840
that's like 40 of the cost and it might be right if you had to guess how much of the health care costs
00:50:45.040
is the paperwork and bullshit would you say 40 you know without knowing too much about the industry
00:50:52.080
which i don't it seems like everything's at least that much so could you cut that in half
00:50:59.360
probably if you just had a smarter way to administer it all right moving on okay only 10 more
00:51:07.760
presents to wrap you're almost at the finish line but first there the last one enjoy a coca-cola for
00:51:21.920
a pause that refreshes you know uh michael wolf he's the uh slash author um he's the one who is the
00:51:31.840
advisor slash friend of epstein it turns out that we know now he uh tried to blackmail trump he tried to
00:51:40.720
get he tried to talk epstein into blackmailing trump now if i said to you uh i'd like to engineer for
00:51:49.440
you the worst reputation you could ever have and i'd say well if you're gonna make it the worst reputation
00:51:57.360
that anybody had you'd have to throw in some you know underage stuff you know what i mean and sure
00:52:04.320
enough he was hanging out with the underage stuff guy so that's not good for your look and then it
00:52:11.040
turns out he may have been one of the people teaching epstein how to be a blackmailer
00:52:17.360
there's no evidence that he taught him how to be a blackmailer but there is some documentation
00:52:22.080
uh that uh they're looking at trump and i guess wolf said in a in a text message or an email
00:52:30.960
to epstein quote i hear cnn planning to ask trump tonight about his relationship with you
00:52:36.480
either on air or in scrum afterwards this is 2015 so 2015 and then wolf said to epstein i think you
00:52:46.160
should let him hang himself quote if he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house
00:52:52.320
then that gives you a valuable pr and political currency in other words he could keep trump's
00:52:57.600
secret and act like he had not been on the house or not been on the plane but he had the option of
00:53:04.240
blackmailing you might want to keep that option open um according to wolf uh
00:53:14.720
and and also he goes let's know directly says he says if he says he hasn't been on the plane or to
00:53:20.720
the house then that gives you a valuable pr and political currency you can hang him in a way that
00:53:27.440
potentially generates a positive benefit for you i can't even believe people talk like this
00:53:33.760
can you this is this is the way people talk oh my god uh or if it really looks like he could win
00:53:41.120
the presidency you could save him and generating a debt oh my god
00:53:46.320
pure blackmail how would you like to be the person so dark that you're the one who taught
00:53:59.680
but i was laughing at the fact that the new york post referred to michael wolf as discredited
00:54:05.360
he's a discredited author and i was thinking what they refer to me as so i'm a no i'm not discredited i'm
00:54:18.400
what do they call me remind me what they call me i'm not discredited i'm just something disgusting
00:54:25.920
anyway what once people like me and him get cancelled we get a we get a new name all right um
00:54:36.880
so good luck with that oh they also call him a trump obsessed
00:54:43.440
so he's discredited and trump obsessed meanwhile the justice department is suing uh disgraced thank
00:54:54.320
you yes they call me disgraced instead of discredited i like disgrace
00:54:58.880
um so the justice department is going to sue to block california from their new intention of uh
00:55:07.600
redistricting and it makes me wonder should we just change our system for everything and instead of uh
00:55:17.840
instead of just doing it and waiting for the lawsuit just make the lawsuit part of the process
00:55:24.000
because if we sue everybody about everything which is our current situation you might as well just
00:55:29.440
build that into the process that you know first you pass the law but then it just goes automatically
00:55:36.480
to some political and some uh poor entity that's my idea for the day john federman had some kind of
00:55:45.520
cardiac incident it doesn't seem um doesn't seem too serious but it did cause him to black out and
00:55:52.560
fall on his face and uh got some minor injuries i guess he's staying in the hospital to be evaluated
00:55:59.440
it makes me wonder so john federman was in the news already like in a big way he was in the news and then
00:56:08.160
this happens which obviously he did not plan which puts him in the news again does it feel like
00:56:14.240
does it feel like he's not an npc does it feel like he's a player because why is he in the news so much
00:56:23.200
by coincidence he's in the news so much i don't know i think the simulation has plans for him
00:56:30.960
all right i'm going to take a challenge challenge is this i'm going to read a headline from the hungarian
00:56:41.680
conservative and what you see uh if this uh shocks you so how shocked are you zielinski's inner circle
00:56:53.680
rocked by massive corruption scandal how many of you are shocked shocked that ukraine is being accused
00:57:03.840
of a massive corruption scandal what are the odds of that i ask you the most corrupt place on earth
00:57:11.440
what are the odds of that anyway so there's a allegations of as much as a hundred million dollars
00:57:19.840
got siphoned off by uh his cronies so one specific one in particular there's some businessman named
00:57:27.120
timur mindich and i guess he's being accused of being part of whatever this allegedly is california is
00:57:36.960
uh uh let's see did you get sued for issuing all those illegal commercial driver's license
00:57:44.960
yeah i think the trump administration is going after them for that um oh so the trump administration
00:57:51.520
will uh withhold up to 160 million in federal funds unless california revokes quote every illegally
00:58:00.320
issued commercial driver's license of which there are quite a few do you think that gavin is gonna
00:58:07.760
do that or is he going to give up to 160 million dollars in federal funding
00:58:12.400
well i think it'll go to court what do you think it should just go to court and me you know immediately
00:58:19.200
automatically it's gonna end up there well i saw the news today on reclaim the net cindy harper's writing
00:58:28.720
that israel has a bill that's uh they're considering now they would allow the israeli government to shut
00:58:35.520
down foreign media outlets um so it passed the first reading which means it has some potential
00:58:42.880
of becoming law but it's not there yet and uh what do you think of that and when i saw that i thought
00:58:50.320
well isn't that the same as the united states doesn't the united states block foreign uh news platforms
00:58:57.280
without looking it up here's your challenge without looking it up tell me in the comments do you believe
00:59:06.800
that the united states already had this either law or right or something that we were already banning
00:59:15.120
foreign platforms i thought we were because when was last time you saw russia today rt that they used to
00:59:24.240
be everywhere and then they disappeared right and i think there might be a few other examples so i asked
00:59:29.920
grok to look into it and it turns out that we do not have that law what we have is something better
00:59:37.760
we have massive censorship so if you're rt and you're trying to get some traffic and some income on
00:59:46.080
youtube good luck you're going to be treated like that guy scott adams have you heard him no i'm just
00:59:53.840
joking yeah so if you want to be alarmed what is more alarming than the fact that we don't need that
01:00:01.680
law because we already banned people just with our normal censorship tools and banning a russian entity
01:00:08.560
especially really easy really easy really easy i don't even know if this is another one of those george
01:00:16.240
carlin situations did did somebody need to actually contact youtube and say hey
01:00:24.240
god there's something happening right outside my house i don't know what it's big um yeah they didn't
01:00:38.480
have to coordinate they all just know what to do so before you mock israel for their censorship we're not so
01:00:46.880
different um here's another story the federalists md kittle is writing about this that uh the the
01:00:57.440
same department of justice partisans as they're called partisans yeah that drove the arctic frost
01:01:05.040
investigation uh let's see what's this story you know what i'm gonna tell you the story i was
01:01:14.560
going to tell you instead of what the story is is it my imagination or has all the stories about arctic
01:01:22.080
frost and um the russia collusion and all the bad behavior and the old obama have they now become just
01:01:30.800
noise like like if this story had broken when it was fresh it would be the biggest story but because
01:01:40.000
time has gone by and now we've been confused by all these similar sounding stories like if i hear one
01:01:46.560
more story that jack smith did something that we think might have been sketchy how am i even going
01:01:52.080
to sort that in my head with all the other stories about jack smith allegedly did something sketchy
01:01:58.720
i can't keep them straight so i'm completely lost and i don't know if if any of this is intentional
01:02:08.160
i mean certainly not by the people reporting it but there's something about time plus complexity
01:02:14.160
that just hides any bad behavior and i think we've reached it because i don't think there's gonna be
01:02:19.280
any justice for any of these older acts but it's hard to get people all worked up about it because we
01:02:25.920
don't we don't really follow it meaning that even if you read the story you end up thinking is that the
01:02:32.080
one i read last week well let me ask i'll ask you this way how many of you have recently read a story
01:02:39.440
it might have been in just the news or could have been something else and you thought to yourself is
01:02:44.480
that a new story or is that reiterating an old story or is it an old story that they added a new
01:02:53.120
email to did the new email change what we knew about the old story or did it just bolster it
01:02:59.360
that the whole idea that we can figure out what these bad actors may or may not have done i think
01:03:06.320
it's gone i think the complexity and time have just sort of erased the crimes in a practical sense
01:03:14.800
meaning that they'll never be held accountable so i didn't know that was a thing but it looks like it's a

01:03:38.400
speaking of stories that you don't know if they're new or old uh apparently nevada
01:03:43.440
is going to be reopening the case of what they call the fake electors so ella lee is writing for the
01:03:51.600
hill now why don't you see some of the language that she used in the story so you remember the
01:03:59.200
uh 2024 election i'm sure you remember and you remember that there was an effort to get alternative
01:04:06.000
electors now why did she call them fake electors when they were very publicly uh alternative electors
01:04:14.400
meaning that if something went one direction they would be activated but if it went another direction
01:04:19.680
they wouldn't what makes them fake isn't fake kind of subjective because it certainly seems to me that
01:04:29.280
there was some possibility that they have they would cast the real vote how about uh they also say uh
01:04:39.840
talking about people who quote falsely claimed that trump won the 2020 presidential election
01:04:47.120
how does she know or anybody know that it was falsely what uh process was used to determine that
01:05:00.000
i don't know there's any way to know the the whole reason that we're talking about getting rid of uh
01:05:04.480
election machines the whole reason we're talking about same day voting the whole reason we're talking
01:05:08.880
about uh user id for voting the only reason that those are conversations is that reasonable people
01:05:17.360
know that we can't be entirely sure who won the election so how do you get off saying falsely claimed you
01:05:25.760
could say not supported you could say unproven you could say baseless if if that were true but you
01:05:34.400
really can't say falsely claimed that's that's an over claim right how would you know you would know
01:05:42.480
i don't know that it was fake but i also don't know that it wasn't i wouldn't know um so this feels
01:05:51.120
like one of those evergreen stories that but i guess they were fighting over some process thing so it
01:05:57.680
got delayed otherwise it would have already been resolved but anyway elon musk is dunking on the
01:06:04.480
head of the eu somebody's somebody whose name is a vanderlaine ursula vanderlaine
01:06:11.920
uh apparently ursula said uh she was talking about building the european democracy shield
01:06:24.240
and uh she said that if democracy is the foundation of freedom um oh i'm sorry no that's what elon said
01:06:32.000
so she was talking about europe europe's uh democracy shield and uh elon dunked on her on x by saying
01:06:40.080
if democracy is the foundation of freedom shouldn't your position be elected by the people
01:06:46.800
she's not elected she has an unelected position
01:07:03.600
um some lawmakers were concerned that they weren't getting enough briefings about
01:07:09.440
uh the narco boats being blown up so you know what trump did about that he said give them more
01:07:15.920
briefings the reason i wrote this down as a story is that how often do you hear that hey we've got a
01:07:24.320
problem there's not enough of x all right we're gonna do more x anything else you just don't see
01:07:34.400
somebody complain and then somebody said fixed done
01:07:37.440
but what it made me wonder is uh how many boats there are if you were to count up all the boats that
01:07:50.560
could be used in this way there can't be that many narco boats right how many are there so now
01:07:57.280
we've blown up what 20 of them um given that you could put a bazillion dollars worth of drugs on
01:08:04.560
one narco boat how many were there in the first place like if you if you wanted to make sure that
01:08:11.280
one of your narco boats got through how many do you need to have five and then you know multiple cartels
01:08:20.000
so each of them maybe have five but what what made me wonder is how the narco boat sales people sell
01:08:26.480
their boats now because somebody still has to go to the narco boat sales sales sales place to buy a
01:08:36.240
new narco boat right because they're running out of boats so what does the salesperson say in those
01:08:42.640
situations ah we make the finest narco boats you you will we promise and this is our commitment to you
01:08:52.800
if you buy our narco boats with our extra fast motors and our good navigation if you buy our narco boats
01:09:00.960
we can guarantee that you will reach your destination unexploded up to five percent of the time
01:09:06.640
oh but what is happening to the other 95 and why do i have a bad mexican accent and then the salesperson
01:09:17.520
would say oh but you have to compare us to the competition the competition loses on 98 of their
01:09:24.080
boats we can get you there five percent of the time and that's better than you can get from the cartels
01:09:30.560
well maybe i'll go back to the cartels and tell them that there's no practical way
01:09:35.920
for me to get this job done well you could you could that you could definitely play it that way
01:09:42.320
you could go back to your cartel boss and in about a minute and a half they would tie you to a chair and
01:09:47.520
torture you but you could do that or you could overpay for this boat and have a five percent chance
01:09:54.400
of surviving take your pick well i'm just saying it would be hard to be a a buyer of narco boats
01:10:03.040
uh chinese astronauts are returning to earth in a different ship because the one they were in got
01:10:09.440
cracks in it from some debris in space can you imagine being in space and looking at your windshield
01:10:16.800
and seeing it cracked what what would be scarier than being in a rocket ship and looking over and
01:10:25.520
seeing the window is cracked and that it might keep cracking that would be pretty scary but the chinese
01:10:34.000
astronauts are made of tougher stuff than i am and they just waited for a new ship jumped on it
01:10:40.240
it looks like they'll be fine um meanwhile german police have been looking to uh solve the mystery
01:10:51.920
of who blew up their pipeline the nordstrom too now i don't think it's a mystery who blew it up so much
01:10:58.880
as is finding the specific people and punishing them but here are some numbers you might not have known
01:11:04.960
so how much money has germany donated to the ukrainian defense the answer is 37 billion euros
01:11:16.720
they are the number two biggest funder of ukrainians military defense after the united states
01:11:24.480
so isn't that great that uh they're they're so friendly with ukraine and they get along so well
01:11:32.160
that germany will put 37 billion euros in it but oh but wait they actually spent a lot more than that
01:11:39.680
because once the uh once the war started and the pipeline blew up um i guess the cost of energy
01:11:47.040
in germany went through the roof so germany ended up spending maybe 100 billion extra euros
01:11:54.480
that they wouldn't have had to spend except for the ukraine war and maybe something with the blown up
01:12:00.480
pipeline so how do you get a situation in which germany is funding ukraine's defense
01:12:10.720
while ukraine is blowing up valuable german assets and acting like they didn't do it
01:12:17.760
that is a complicated part of the world isn't it i don't know how the germans put up with that but i
01:12:23.600
don't know how they put up with anything i do not understand germany um
01:12:32.560
and apparently the uh p hegseth has announced that the uh the new operation called southern spear is
01:12:40.720
going to squash the narco terrace in the western hemisphere i think we knew that was happening but at
01:12:46.400
least it has a name now at least it has name all right ladies and gentlemen that is all i wanted to
01:12:53.520
say today uh i think we've covered everything from nordstrom 2 to carl the fly to uh yeah i think we've
01:13:05.200
uh is there anything interesting happening today not that i know of well that means it's time for
01:13:25.440
all right ladies and gentlemen thanks for joining i'm going to talk to the uh
01:13:29.120
beloved local subscribers next that will be private so the rest of you i will be seeing you tomorrow i
01:13:37.760
