00:00:16.060 a few things. We're talking about, I guess, the intersection, to use a left-wing word,

00:00:22.500 of socialism and the climate crisis and I guess every other crisis the government wants you to

00:00:29.460 believe that is a crisis. Now if you like listening to the show then I promise that you're going to

00:01:45.300 only version of my show. Every single catastrophe real or imagined has become a reason for more

00:02:05.580 government control in your life. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're watching The Gunn Show.

00:02:15.300 Isn't that what the advocates of big government keep saying to us? Whatever the problem is,

00:02:34.660 the solution is less freedom and more money from your pocket into the government's hands so that

00:02:40.960 they can pass it along to other people who didn't bother to earn it. And some big government goon 0.98

00:02:48.940 is standing over your shoulder telling you how to live your life, drive less, eat less beef. It

00:02:55.220 doesn't matter. What the question is, the answer is always socialism. Global warming? No problem.

00:03:00.860 Socialism in the form of massive green taxes and corporate welfare to green energy companies.

00:03:05.900 It's fixed. COVID plague from China creating massive layoffs because the government overreacted

00:03:12.760 and closed all these private businesses. Easy peasy. $2,000 per month to everyone for an

00:03:19.860 indeterminate amount of time. Coronavirus fixed. Joining me today in an interview we recorded

00:03:26.180 yesterday afternoon is a new face, I think, to rebel viewers, Dr. Jay Lair of CFACT and the

00:03:33.360 International Climate Science Coalition. He sat down with me yesterday afternoon to discuss how

00:03:38.600 all these catastrophes are being manipulated and often created to push a socialist future.

00:03:46.400 So joining me now from his home is Jay Lair. Jay is a co-author of many articles with Rebel News fan

00:04:09.380 favorite and good friend of the show, Tom Harris from the International Climate Science Coalition.

00:04:14.560 And I wanted to have Jay on the show today to talk about, I guess, the intersection of socialism and

00:04:22.660 climate change and how climate change is the vehicle for socialism. But first, Jay, I know you're new to

00:04:31.260 our Rebel viewers. Why don't you give us a brief rundown of who you are and, you know, some of your

00:04:37.220 educational history, just so people understand that you're just not some guy. You do know a lot about

00:04:44.080 these things.

00:04:45.260 I do, Sheila. I have a PhD, well, a degree in engineering from Princeton University, spent a few

00:04:52.060 years on active duty in the Navy, got a PhD in a combined field at the University of Arizona of

00:04:58.760 Environmental Science, Agricultural Economics, and Water Supply. And over the very long career,

00:05:07.980 spanning over 60 years, I have authored, co-authored, or edited now 32 books. The most recent book

00:05:16.580 came out just this spring titled A Hitchhiker's Journey Through Climate Change. We started out writing

00:05:25.080 with Terry Ciccone, a 150-page book. We ended up with 350 pages before we were finished. But the theme

00:05:32.800 really is just what you said. It's all about climate change and socialism. Climate change has always

00:05:40.560 been a vehicle to create socialism throughout the world, a one-world government, because the evil people

00:05:50.020 that want to control all of our lives recognize that if you can control carbon dioxide output,

00:05:56.920 the very breath that we exhale, you could control all society. And if you get people scared that man

00:06:03.900 has something to do with controlling the thermostat of the earth, then only government can control it.

00:06:10.380 If we're talking about carbon dioxide, it has to be all governments, and then really a one-world

00:06:15.460 government, the United Nations, that would take over the world. Because energy is what creates a

00:06:22.420 positive standard of living. You can measure the standard of living of any family or human being

00:06:29.620 on earth by how much energy they use. That's a determination of whether they have good heating

00:06:35.280 and cooling and automobiles and other advantages in life. And so the evil leftists figured out that

00:06:43.580 climate change was a way to achieve their goal of destroying capitalism and creating a socialist world.

00:06:50.360 And for the last, again, a 60-year career, I have been writing and lecturing around the world,

00:06:59.900 actually, on this issue and all energy issues. And for the last three years, I've been working with

00:07:07.580 Tom Harris at the International Climate Science Coalition, and also with a group called CFAC.org

00:07:14.200 in Washington and America Out Loud. I write an article each week for three different websites,

00:07:21.460 America Out Loud, Tom's website, and Committee for Advanced Tomorrow, CFAC.org. And most of my articles

00:07:30.680 deal with climate change or energy, now batteries, electric cars, and related things. My most recent article

00:07:39.220 was called The Blackouts Are Coming, The Blackouts Are Coming, to coin a phrase from Paul Revere. This is a

00:07:47.980 warning, not a scare tactic. And if you look at what California is today, it's what America will be in the next

00:07:55.180 four years if Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris are elected to take over our presidency. You know, that's a great

00:08:02.340 place to start. Let's talk about the blackouts in California. Because California, when you look at

00:08:07.920 the global scale of things, really, it's one of the most prosperous places on the face of the earth. And

00:08:14.140 yet they are living in a form of energy poverty right now, because of their pursuit of green energy. And

00:08:23.120 really, that's what the United States would be like, if the Democrats and the more radical Democrats,

00:08:31.980 which you and I were talking off air, I think the party has been completely overtaken by the more

00:08:36.900 radicals. And Joe Biden's vice presidential pick, Kamala Harris, is a testament to that. She's,

00:08:44.320 you know, a proponent of the Green New Deal. But what's happening in California? That's what the

00:08:49.240 Green New Deal would look like for the entire country.

00:08:51.140 Yeah, Sheila, it's really very lucky for the rest of the country to have a model to look at. And we can

00:08:59.660 decide on election day on November 3, whether we want to look like California or whether we do not.

00:09:06.260 California has created energy poverty. They have, in the last seven or eight years, they have closed

00:09:13.620 all but one coal-fired plant in the state. Three of them they turned into using wood pellets to burn.

00:09:22.140 They've turned off all their nuclear energy, save one. They have one plant left. And that is scheduled

00:09:29.980 to be shut down in 2025. They are no longer going to buy coal power from their neighboring states. And

00:09:37.580 within the next 10 to 15 years, they want to be 100 percent wind and solar, which basically is going

00:09:44.760 to mean they're going to have a blackout after blackout. They already have four times more blackouts

00:09:51.480 than any other state in the union. From 2008 to 2017, they had over 4,000 blackouts. And now they're

00:09:59.160 having them virtually every week. It's sheer insanity. And Ms. Harris is going along with it. I'm not sure

00:10:08.280 when she was a prosecutor for the state that she was quite as radical as she is now. But she's bought 0.98

00:10:14.760 into the Green New Deal of these crazy people in our Congress. And they really want to bring the country

00:10:22.200 to its knees, whether they know it or not. But again, the primary purpose is the defeat of capitalism.

00:10:28.920 And the institution of socialism in the United States.

00:10:32.600 Well, and they also have another arrow in their quiver now to bring about this cultural change 0.77

00:10:40.760 in the United States. It used to be the impending doom of climate change that never actually came.

00:10:46.600 And so the benchmarks kept being changed and the goalposts had to be shoved back. But now it's the

00:10:53.320 coronavirus. And they're using the pandemic now to push for this green recovery. The economy has all

00:11:01.720 but stopped in Canada. And so now in Canada, they're saying there's only one way to jumpstart the economy.

00:11:08.040 It has to be green. And I see a lot of the same musings happening in the United States. However,

00:11:14.040 thank God for President Trump. But when you have places like Time Magazine publishing,

00:11:18.840 as the rest of the world plans for a green recovery, America is once again falling behind.

00:11:24.920 I don't know. I think the unemployment numbers that came out the other day speak for themselves

00:11:28.920 compared to Canada. I think avoiding a green recovery is going to be the thing that 0.53

00:11:34.520 saves America from this pandemic lockdown. There's no question about it. The whole,

00:11:41.720 the Green New Deal and the leftists are evil, but they're not stupid. Their goal again is to

00:11:47.480 have a socialist country. They want control, full control over every human being living in the country.

00:11:53.800 And they were quick enough to see the coronavirus as another mechanism along with climate change

00:11:59.960 to take control. I work with a hundred doctors on the issue. The masks are of very little value.

00:12:08.840 The social distancing is arbitrary. The idea is to get people used to taking orders,

00:12:15.160 a hundred percent of the population taking orders. It doesn't matter that it has any impact at all

00:12:21.080 medically. So they've seized on the coronavirus as another mechanism to gain control over the public

00:12:28.120 population and make them just take orders. When they say jump, the people are to say how high. And

00:12:35.720 right now it's working. And if we don't see a backlash of people not liking being ordered around under a

00:12:43.880 socialist government the past eight months, then on November 3rd, Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris will take

00:12:52.200 over. I am hopeful that the average person on the street is now getting fed up with it. And they're going

00:13:00.760 to go to the polls in the privacy of the polling booth and say they don't want it anymore. And it's

00:13:07.000 interesting you point out, I think it was 1.3 million new jobs. That does not count California, New York,

00:13:15.080 and Illinois that are still shut down. Now, three very populous states, if they were not shut down,

00:13:21.960 those new employment numbers would skyrocket even more.

00:13:25.800 Now, I wanted you rightly point out that this is about, I guess, retraining people,

00:13:33.480 but there's a serious application of force in any sort of push towards socialism and government control.

00:13:41.560 And you do have an article that was out about two weeks ago that you co-authored with my friend,

00:13:45.800 Tom Harris, about the lack of morality and the application of force. And it's so funny that

00:13:51.320 socialism is often taught to us as this, or it's pushed towards us as this benevolent thing,

00:14:00.600 this caring thing. If you care about people, you'll want to give your goods to the government

00:14:06.680 so that the government can redistribute them. But it's anything but kind, is it?

00:14:11.160 Yes, it's exactly the opposite. Socialism means that collective rules everyone's life. You cannot

00:14:18.040 do anything independently. We pointed out in a series of three articles on socialism how totally

00:14:24.680 evil it is. And all you have to really understand, whether or not you are a religious person or not,

00:14:31.880 you cannot have any religion in socialism because that separates groups from the government.

00:14:37.960 They have their own dogmas, their own rules. So all religion must be completely wiped out, 0.99

00:14:44.440 and no individual can actually make a decision on their own about anything. The collective runs

00:14:51.720 everything. Yes, it's supposed that the collective will distribute wealth evenly. What they actually

00:15:00.200 distribute evenly is misery. And all one has to do is to study every socialist country, true socialist

00:15:09.000 country that has existed. And we're talking about Cuba and Venezuela and China and Russia. These are the

00:15:17.640 models and they are all abject failure. Socialism can only and has only succeeded in a limited way with

00:15:26.360 a gun to the head of the population. It's the opposite of being a nice, warm and fuzzy program. It is tyrannical

00:15:37.160 in all its forms. And when we talk about socialism, people point to Norway and Sweden and Denmark that have

00:15:45.880 partial socialist economies. But when you study them, they're more capitalist than they are socialist. Their form of

00:15:54.200 socialism really only covers their medical care and their control of an industry or two. They are not

00:16:01.880 models of socialism. Venezuela is a model of socialism. Cuba, Russia are models of socialism, and we all know

00:16:10.600 how they turned out. Now, getting back to one of the topics that you like to talk about, and I definitely

00:16:17.160 like to talk about, I run into Tom Harris all the time at the UN climate change conferences. Sadly, there

00:16:23.480 won't be one this year because a real threat came along, and so they had to cancel it. Nothing was ever

00:16:29.960 important enough for them to cancel their private jets to the climate change conference until a

00:16:35.080 disease came along. But it's funny the places that you listed. Venezuela, North Korea, Cuba, Russia. I was

00:16:43.160 writing them down as you said that. These are socialist places, communist places. I suppose a communist is

00:16:50.520 just a socialist who really means it. But these are filthy places, filthy places.

00:16:56.440 Beautiful. I'm going to remember that. A communist is a socialist who really means it. You really nailed

00:17:01.880 it. Well, I poached it from someone else I heard one time. But these are filthy places. And it's so

00:17:08.280 often that the proponents of socialism say, okay, well, if we just had more control over the economy

00:17:15.960 and people's lives, that it would be a much greener, cleaner place. But in the places where the most

00:17:21.800 control exists over people's lives, they're disgusting, horrible, dirty places.

00:17:27.240 That's absolutely correct. And Michael Moore, who's one of America's most famous leftists,

00:17:33.880 for reasons I do not understand, decided to pull the curtain away from wind and solar energy. And he

00:17:41.720 made a movie called Planet for the humans. It's brilliant. And all of the big Google and Amazon

00:17:49.880 tried to stop the film being shown because he shows what a sham they are. And they are environmentally

00:17:57.080 destructive. It was amazing. He put together a two minute film inside the movie that showed everything

00:18:05.080 involved in creating a solar farm or wind turbine farm and how environmentally destructive they are

00:18:13.160 from beginning to end. There is nothing green about what the leftists call green energy. The Green New

00:18:20.120 Deal is entirely destructive of the planet. And this is normally the way the left works. They take all of

00:18:28.840 their evilness and try to project it on the opposition. In other words, all their flaws they try to claim

00:18:36.600 are part of Donald Trump, as an example. It's their trick. And they do it over and over and over again.

00:18:45.080 And unfortunately, the young people buy into it because they've been brought up in government schools

00:18:49.960 that essentially don't teach our history, our great history. They teach just only the evils of

00:18:58.520 society. And the children get out of high school today with no idea of how horrible socialism has

00:19:06.120 been through the ages and how phenomenal the American and Canadian governments were at one time.

00:19:13.800 You know, it's funny because these environmental groups will use whatever lie and half truth they can

00:19:21.000 to push their agenda. Just last week here in Alberta, Canada's Texas, we have a massive

00:19:27.240 deposit of oil that is just below the surface, the oil sands. And it has been leaching out of the

00:19:35.960 the ground there for millennia. The indigenous people there used to use the oil sands that were coming out

00:19:44.520 of the riverbanks to seal their canoes, to waterproof their canoes. So it's a feature of the landscape and not

00:19:52.760 a bug. And yet environmental groups just four days ago, they came out with a big report that said

00:19:59.640 there's groundwater contamination and it is because of the oil sands mining. When we know there's

00:20:05.800 groundwater contamination because of the oil sands and what we are participating in is probably the

00:20:12.920 world's largest cleanup project that mother nature left us a big fat mess up there. But it's funny,

00:20:20.200 the lies. And as you point out, it is the young people who will see that and not know the history

00:20:25.560 of anything and say, yup, they're ruining the land up there by mining these oil sands as opposed to 0.74

00:20:31.880 cleaning up the mess that was left behind by mother nature. And as you point out, again, the government

00:20:38.680 schools are not going to teach them any different. No, they've actually taught them that pretty much

00:20:44.360 everything we do in advancing industry is negative toward our environment. And it's absolutely not

00:20:51.000 true. We can burn coal with virtually no emissions that are harmful to the atmosphere. We can drill for

00:20:58.280 oil. We can hydraulically fracture shale sands to get our oil with no damage whatsoever. And we can

00:21:05.880 certainly mine the oil sands in Canada without any harm. And I love what you just said. It's one of the

00:21:13.640 biggest cleanup projects in history that the more we take out of the oil sands, the less potential

00:21:20.040 pollution that is created. But they essentially teach young children that up is down and down is up. And

00:21:29.240 this is interesting. The famous novel everyone knows of 1984 by George Orwell, that's what an advanced

00:21:37.160 government did. They literally turned truth into fiction. And if you say it over and over again,

00:21:43.880 especially when you start with small children, they come out with ideas that are entirely false.

00:21:50.600 You know, if we needed any proof, any more proof, that the green movement is just a vehicle towards

00:22:01.000 socialism and control, all we have to do is look at the solution the environmentalists are proposing

00:22:07.720 for us. And it is taxes. It's carbon taxes, which is a wealth transfer in and of itself. So if we take out

00:22:16.040 all the overlays of environmentalism, CO2 emissions, the cost per ton that they want to charge us on CO2

00:22:27.640 emissions, if we just look at what the solution is, and the solution is, I have to give my money to

00:22:32.920 the government so that they can give it to somebody else. The solution is socialism. It doesn't matter

00:22:37.960 what the problem was. This is true. What's even more amazing in all the talks I give and all the writing

00:22:44.280 I do now. I make sure people know it's not that carbon dioxide is bad. Carbon dioxide is good.

00:22:53.720 Since what we call the second industrial revolution following World War II, about 24 percent of the

00:23:00.920 earth is greener than it was because carbon dioxide is plant food. We only live here because we have

00:23:06.840 carbon dioxide and photosynthesis to allow plants to grow, to allow animals to eat, to allow us to

00:23:13.960 eat. We're only here because of carbon dioxide, and it'll be a better earth when we go from the 410 0.95

00:23:20.680 parts per million carbon dioxide someday to 800. It'll be an even better earth. So they turn

00:23:27.640 good into evil, and carbon dioxide is a good, and you describe it correctly. All of their attempts to

00:23:36.600 solve a non-problem move us towards socialism. The one, I don't know who's going to win the election on

00:23:43.400 November 3rd. I am cautiously optimistic that the public is going to recognize they don't like

00:23:50.280 what's been going on for eight months. They don't like the government to tell them everything to do,

00:23:55.160 and Mr. Trump will get another four years. But if by chance he does not get enough of four years,

00:24:01.080 it's going to be interesting to watch everything that Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris do fail. Every idea they

00:24:08.360 have can only result in failure. And so it might take a couple more years of destruction of our

00:24:15.160 nation before people realize that they have been duped in school from K through 12, in many of the

00:24:22.760 colleges, and certainly by all the major TV news stations. And the media is controlled, you know,

00:24:31.240 is the old saying that when you buy ink by the barrel, you have a lot of power.

00:24:38.120 Jay, I am in Northern Canada. I'm a farmer. I welcome the global warming. I welcome the opportunity

00:24:47.560 for more arable land to feed people. And I'm a proponent of GMO crops because that helps crops

00:24:57.240 grow in forbidding climates like where I live. But at the same time, though, the environmentalist

00:25:06.200 movement opposes GMO crops and they want, you know, smaller crops, which drives up the cost of food.

00:25:16.440 And yet they claim to be advocating for poor people across the world. It's very strange when you look at

00:25:22.040 uh, the results of their ideas. It's actually very anti-human, isn't it?

00:25:27.640 Totally. Sheila, I've spent a major part of my career working in agriculture, uh, helping farmers to

00:25:34.920 understand the wonders of genetically modifying our grain so that they grow in, in drier and in hotter

00:25:42.600 climates and produce, uh, greater yields. Uh, I knew Norman Borlaug, who won a Nobel Prize in 1971.

00:25:52.040 Figuring out how to get more yield, uh, out of wheat. Uh, the next time I hear, uh, an environmentalist

00:26:00.360 say anything about agriculture that is accurate will be the first time I have ever heard an environmental

00:26:07.080 zealot say anything accurate. You can almost just go by anything they say and reverse it and you'll be, 0.97

00:26:13.320 then you will be accurate. They don't want people to eat food that is inexpensive and healthy.

00:26:19.880 They don't want people to heat and cool their homes with energy that is, uh, that, that is

00:26:25.240 inexpensive. Uh, they only want the worst for society. I was at a dinner party recently. There

00:26:31.880 were eight people around a table and I was chatting across the way with a fellow who was a conservative

00:26:37.480 like I, and we were, uh, I had mentioned, uh, that I'd never met an environmental zealot that was a

00:26:43.800 happy-go-lucky upbeat person. A woman next to me stood up and started screaming at me that she was 1.00

00:26:51.960 a happy-go-lucky leftist. And everybody at the table broke out laughing.

00:26:56.920 You know, it's so funny. These, it's the same people who say, oh, you can't eat meat. Don't eat

00:27:02.440 beef. Don't farm beef, uh, because it's bad for the environment while they're eating a piece of

00:27:07.720 avocado on their toast that was trucked in from somewhere else, very far away. We don't grow

00:27:13.800 avocados up here. Um, and you know, it's gotta be refrigerated every step of the way to sit in the

00:27:20.520 growth trucked into the grocery store from halfway around the world for this leftist to buy it because

00:27:26.840 it's organic. So they, they can stare down their nose and say, oh, you shouldn't eat that steak.

00:27:31.320 That's bad for the environment. They just don't have the foresight to understand the supply chain

00:27:36.200 at all. Yeah, not at all. And that's kind of what's included in the two minutes of the Michael

00:27:41.320 Moore movie. I described, they show absolutely every element of, of mining something in Africa

00:27:48.040 and what goes into the mind and transporting it across the country and so on and so forth.

00:27:53.160 And they prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, there's nothing about wind and solar that is green,

00:27:57.880 let alone the fact that you cannot, uh, continue an industrial society, uh, that way. California

00:28:03.880 will be moving backwards a century if they continue on the path that they're on. And people do not

00:28:10.040 understand the supply chain at all. And, uh, everything going on with global warming is good

00:28:15.960 for agriculture. Actually, the earth has been warming a little bit, uh, since, uh, the revolutionary

00:28:22.200 war was the end of a little ice age and we've been warming up. Man has, that's one thing I want to make

00:28:27.800 a statement of because there are not a lot of people that have the nerve to say it. Man's impact,

00:28:33.400 Sheila, on the temperature of this planet is zero, zero. It's not a little bit, but you have,

00:28:41.000 there are two sides. You've got the modelers that get billions of dollars to support models

00:28:47.000 that have never been accurate, that they don't even understand the variable to put in them.

00:28:51.640 But then you also have an element of scientists that are constantly trying to figure out man's

00:28:57.400 impact on the planet. Now they know it's three or four decimal points away from a whole number,

00:29:02.760 but they're still working on it. But the only default number to describe man's impact

00:29:09.080 on the temperature of this planet is zero. Oh, but think of all the grants they're getting

00:29:15.080 to keep working to find something that doesn't exist. It's like one of those perpetual motion

00:29:19.480 machines. Just get a grant, keep looking for nothing, get a grant, find nothing.

00:29:23.480 I love that analogy and you're right, but it's all about, you know, follow the money on either side

00:29:29.160 of the issue, follow the money. Nobody pays me one way or another. So I'm really out there all

00:29:35.240 alone on my island saying it's zero. Now, Jay, you mentioned some of the places where people can

00:29:42.040 find you. Do you want to go through some of those again, just so that people who are first meeting

00:29:47.560 you for the first time today can find where they can find your work and maybe even support your work?

00:29:52.040 The first and easiest place is at a website, cfact.org.

00:29:58.200 We love cfacts. We love Mark. We love cfacts.org. And if you go to that website and you scroll down

00:30:04.360 and you'll find one of my articles, and if you then just tap on my name, every article I've written

00:30:12.440 there will come up. And in one tap, you can get probably a hundred articles I've written there

00:30:17.560 over the last couple of years. And most of them are easy to read. My strength as a science writer is

00:30:24.520 making things simple. I always say I've never been the sharpest knife in the drawer. And that's been

00:30:30.520 good because I have to work hard to learn things. And then I become a very good teacher of them.

00:30:35.480 And then, of course, at Tom Harris's website and at America Out Loud, America Out Loud.

00:30:42.440 That's dot com, I think. And Tom and I write there every week. And then Tom's website has

00:30:49.240 all of our stuff and cfact.org. But I used to do 30 or 40 lectures a year.

00:30:55.880 With the COVID, the travel cut way down. I did get a lecture three weeks ago. I was

00:31:03.240 out in Las Vegas. And it was fun to lecture for 100 people. 50 were MDs, 50 were very high-level

00:31:10.600 physicists, and not one of them wore a mask. And the hotel allowed us to have a meeting without a

00:31:15.720 mask. It was very, very exciting. But now mostly I'm spending my time writing and loving every bit of

00:31:23.320 it. I've just written an article that the U.S. could pay off most of their COVID debt if they

00:31:29.880 were just allowed to drill for oil on federal land. You can't drill for oil on federal land.

00:31:36.520 No. That blows my mind. That blows my mind. I hope Trump changes that and opens up federal

00:31:43.880 land to drilling. He's already signed an executive order talking about it, but the environmental

00:31:51.720 groups are suing at every turn. Of course they are. Well, Jay, I want to thank you so much for

00:31:57.560 coming on the show. Hopefully you can come back on again real soon. I had a lot of fun.

00:32:03.480 I as well, Sheila. You do a great job. It's been a pleasure. Anytime. This is what I do,

00:32:08.520 and educating people is my joy. Great. Thank you very much.

00:32:12.120 The immorality of socialism is that it denies the very nature of humanity. That there's dignity

00:32:26.760 in earning that what you own and owning what you earn. That a kept man is a man denied motivation,

00:32:33.880 and thus a man denied his full potential. Well, everybody, that's the show for tonight. Thank

00:32:40.040 you so much, as always, for tuning in. I'll see everybody back here in the same time,

00:32:44.600 in the same place next week. And remember, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much

00:32:49.000 to think.
