Dems and the media have turned “border security” into “racism” Strategic move, but traps them…we still need border security Second chances, prison reform and the First Step Act Van Jones is correct, about President Trump and immigrant crime It comes across as racist, need to tweak the message Do illegal immigrants report crimes against them? How could we possibly know the true crime rate? CNN knows that Charlottesville was fake news, guaranteed At least some of their hosts still are still pushing that hoax Probably fake news that Trump Organization hired illegals Almost certainly, they confirmed ID of job applicants The Costa Rica strategy, good, well planned economy Great resorts and jobs for people in tourism (not a joke) Waiters in Costa Rica went to college for that Their economy is focused on technology and tourism Jussie Smollet’s story…95% likely it was fabricated Stacie Abrams and the Democrat SOTU rebuttal …I remember absolutely nothing about what she said AOC had a bad night She seemed petty and small But we’re still talking about her, so she wins in that regard Will America become a socialist country?

but um pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom pom jo-ann you're always fast first one hello everybody come on in here it's time for a coffee with Scott Adams I will be your host Scott Adams and I will have coffee and I think you should have some too or the beverage of your choice I think it's time raise your cup your mug your glass your stein your chalice your thermos put your favorite beverage in there I like coffee and join me for for the simultaneous simple oh yeah that's good stuff so how many of you watched the State of the Union last night you've probably at least seen clips from it and the most important question you have is how did it go did he gain anything do you lose anything I will ramble about that in no

[1:08]

I will ramble about that in no particular order number one presentation I thought he was lacking energy at least at the beginning of the state that you do but he may have been trying to just play it serious so it's possible that he just dialed down his energy to you know stop scaring people so I thought in terms of presentation lacked a little energy in terms of content I don't think he made much news some of the things he said are being fact checked etc one of the things he said apparently went off-script to say this is that he wanted more immigrants not two fewer and people said that can't be true because he's done a bunch of things to limit legal immigration as well but I'm not sure that fact-checking

[2:10]

that fact-checking passes muster because it seems to me that you have to get your your legal system up and running in your merit system and everything before you turn up the volume so I think the fact checkers were wrong on this and I saw an article in reason reason comm that did not look reasonable for the first time and the idea was he's done a number of things to restrict legal immigration so it's not true that he wants more people coming in legally well I would argue that we don't have a merit leave we don't have a merit system in place and correct me if I'm wrong but the whole the whole Trump philosophy is that if you have a merit system bring as many as you want you know there's no limit on volume or you know at least it's not a low limit but

[3:11]

know at least it's not a low limit but you would bring in lots of people if you had a system to make sure you were getting the people most productive now they're one of the fact checkers said that immigrants both legal and illegal are good for the economy on net and this seems to be like one of those climate change situations without doing a deep dive on the question of whether illegal immigration is good or bad for the country let me tell you how it would go I would I would make a claim and somebody would say here's my link that shows you the immigration is bad for the country the let's say the economy and then somebody else would say that's a bad study here's my link showing that it's excellent for the economy and on and on until eventually somebody would say something that I couldn't check or didn't understand or both so it's almost

[4:17]

didn't understand or both so it's almost impossible to even know the question you know the answer is that a simple question does immigration help or hurt the country now of course the most annoying and stupidest thing that happens on the question of immigration is that one side talks in absolute numbers and the other side talks and percentages and while they're not even having the same conversation they're accusing the other one of being wrong well the very first thing you need to do in order to accuse the other side of being wrong is to be on the same topic if one of you is talking the number of people and another is talking percentages and the context here is the percentage of crime so apparently there's a probably good data probably good day to this as that the immigrant community both legal and illegal and I I think it's true if you

[5:19]

illegal and I I think it's true if you look at them individually but it's always a little murky when they report that data have a lower crime rate than the rest of the country lower crime rate than the rest of the country and that's that's sort of the CNN MSNBC argument that it must be racist to keep them out for crime reasons because that doesn't track with the data because they have a lower crime rate than the rest of the country now some people are saying that's not true but let's say it is true just to follow my point to its logical conclusion my house is in a region of the country where I have a very low crime rate so I live in a in a neighborhood with low crime rate should I leave my doors unlocked because when I get robbed which is guaranteed even in

[6:20]

get robbed which is guaranteed even in my low crime rate area if I leave the garage open somebody will steal from the garage pretty much every time or at least if you left you graduate door open for six months in a row overnight the odds are getting are basically 100% even in my neighborhood so should I leave my door unlocked or even open when I go to sleep because I live in a in the area that has a lower crime rate than other places does that make sense it does not because when I manage security for my home I only care if there is crime yes or no the only thing I care about the only thing I care about that I figured out the trick for blocking the critics one down I don't really care what the rate is when I'm trying to not get killed I

[7:23]

is when I'm trying to not get killed I only care that I could get killed yes or no so on this count the critics of the president are just not the they don't seem like credible players because they're avoiding his topic they're not refuting it so if CNN and embassy an embassy want to say the president is wrong or to refute his points they should not be talking about the crime rate unless they also leave their doors unlocked at night under the theory that they live in low crime neighborhoods so why would you protect yourself against a lower than average risk of crime and the answer is of course you would you would always you would you would you would always do that all right so
let's say here here's some other takeaways I was watching Van Van Jones on CNN talking about how the way the

[8:26]

on CNN talking about how the way the president talks about immigration is racist and in part because he talks about the the crime in the danger and when you do that it leaves the impression that it's racist and we've kind of created that we've come full circle in this weird kind of interpretation of what's going on with immigration and I feel like this is what's happened I think the president was saying aggressive things about closing the border for last three years and because the Democrats have talked themselves into that being a racist position they're sort of cornered because they've been saying it's racist to control the border and now when it comes down to the nuts and bolts it's harder for them to say well no we disagree with the experts and so they've got to kind of like border security but at the same time they can't like the president's solutions that include some

[9:28]

president's solutions that include some barriers so here here's where I think is morphed I think their argument and they don't quite you say it as specifically as I'm going to but I believe this is actually a a fair representation of the argument I think the argument is that they like border security now I'm talking about the mainstream Democrats they like border security but because of the way the president has talked about it the the way he is worded things it has it has changed a border barrier into a racist symbol so in other words they might like a border barriers efficiency they might like border security they might agree that certain types of places need certain types of barriers they might agree on all of the details of the engineering and the security you know security concerns of the border but in their minds

[10:28]

their minds the president has transformed a wall that would have been a good solution before into a racist symbol and they don't want the country to be presenting racist symbols and they don't want to be associated with it and they don't think you should either
so here's the question the next question would would Democrats believe that the wall was a racist symbol except for the persuasion of their own candidates and the media doesn't it seem to you that the media and the Democrats are what turned a border security into a racist object I don't believe there was any time that the president said these walls are totally racist give us more racist walls I'm pretty sure there's nothing the president said about the barrier that turned it into a racist object a hundred percent of that persuasion came

[11:31]

hundred percent of that persuasion came from his critics so it was the CNN the MSNBC the Hillary Clinton's etc who turned that into a racist symbol so they're complaining now that they can't build the thing they want because they themselves or at least their side has turned their own best solution into a racist symbol am I wrong I'll say that again faster the Democrats are complaining that they can't build any wall like things because they're racist but there are also the ones that made that happen there was no point at which the president said give me a racist wall that all came from their side all right so there's that now of course we've got the two movies on one screen element to this which is I'm seeing I'm seeing Trump supporters saying my god it's the best speech he's ever written he became president today he nailed it he's sure going to get it

[12:33]

he nailed it he's sure going to get it reelected and then you go and look at the other side and they're saying of course the direct opposite of that
somebody's saying yes you were wrong thank you for the detail yes you were wrong all right the funniest thing that happened well there are a few funny things one is that the the women who came to the State of the Union wearing the all-white they also had in one big block or most of them dead and so they were very visible and it was one of the big stories of the night president Trump managed to turn this big group of women dressed in white who I think it was kind of a protest was it was the all-white celebrating the gains of women or was it a protest I don't

[13:33]

of women or was it a protest I don't know you haven't even know exactly what it was supposed to be but I'll tell you what it turned into President Trump actually managed to use them as a prop so he used them as a prop and made them stand up and Cheer let me adjust something here because too many of you were commenting on it many people have cleverly noted that dressing in all white reminds them of the KKK which reminds them that Democrats were the party of the KKK a million years ago I have no interest in that argument I have zero interest in conflating the Democrats with the KKK I I don't want to be part of it I'm not gonna laugh at it I'm not gonna I'm not gonna not gonna retweet it and I don't encourage you to do it yeah I know you're having fun and you're you know kind of giving back what's been given to

[14:33]

kind of giving back what's been given to you and all that but I just don't care what people you know 50 years ago we're doing I don't care what dead people were doing 50 years ago even if they were called Democrats it's a complete waste of your energy it's a terrible attack it doesn't move anything forward and it's not as funny as they should be so that's my opinion on that so you don't need to ask me about that anymore let's talk about so the president did not make any news talking now any emergency declarations but that's probably good because it's you know it's not time to make that decision yet so it would not have been useful it would not have been useful to make someone else minute about emergency declaration now the president's overall term seemed very inclusive he did I thought he did a

[15:34]

inclusive he did I thought he did a great job on the african-american outreach didn't you didn't seem like he did a tremendous job on directly going against the any charges of anti-semitism which I think he's he's bulletproof on that but even though they still attack him he's kind of bulletproof on the pro-israel stuff but I thought you did a great job talking about second chances and prison reform showcasing some of the people who had turned their lives around and I think that was the best message of the night to me the best message of the night was the Alice Jones and the gentlemen I don't remember his name but the first person released under the first-act plan and what he emphasized was that these people who had you know made a serious effort to become productive citizens and we're being rewarded for it that's a tremendous

[16:35]

rewarded for it that's a tremendous message I love the second second chance I love the forgetting the past I love the
the rewarding people worked hard and tried to make a difference so I thought that was all a plus and when he called out the success of women I thought he seemed sincere and you know celebrated with them that's success so in terms of how he did on the racism charge and on the anti women charge the stuff he usually gets I think he did really well except except and this is a big except I'm gonna agree with Van Jones on one thing he does leave himself open to criticism when he talks about crime coming across the border now I'm sure on a persuasion level it works so I don't have any doubt that scaring people about crime works well

[17:37]

scaring people about crime works well for his base but it has such a big downside and the downside is it makes it vulnerable to being interpreted as being racist and it's his biggest problem so if if I were advising him I would look to modify his message about crime coming across the border and either do one of two things you you either just tone down the way you talk about it or you go directly at the criticism the direct criticism is that the immigrants have a lower the crime rate I would love to see him embrace that I love him I you know if I were advising him I would say you need to say in public if that's true by the way you know obviously has to be true in order to say it but if it's true the immigrant communities bring less crime I think you should say that say

[18:40]

crime I think you should say that say that directly and then make his argument because his argument is that if you're dead you don't care what the rate was all right that's the argument he can praise immigrants and he can praise their low rate of crime if it's true and I'm still I'm gonna give you an argument why that might not be true but I think he needs to say you know I'm not here to protect the percentage of you you know my job as president is not to make sure that you have a better rate of survival it's to make sure you survive I'm not trying to make sure that a lower percentage of people got killed I'm trying to make sure nobody gets killed so I think he can win that but he has to go at it directly or just stay in that field because every time he walks on that field I feel like he's playing for a tie and playing for a tie it just doesn't get you anywhere it gets you exactly where we are he's playing for a tie it

[19:40]

where we are he's playing for a tie it doesn't feel like he's playing for the win all right here's the argument here's the argument for why it might not be true that immigrants have a lower crime rate I do believe that the people who come in here for high-level jobs the people who come in here legally and the people who have college education if you told me they have a lower level of crime I would say that makes sense of course because if you looked at any college educated group of people they would have lower crime rates so if you're throwing in all of the highly skilled people who come in here to work in Silicon Valley and all that all the other highly skilled people come in as immigrants I would totally I could easily imagine that they would have a lower crime rate and I would like to have more of them but if you're talking specifically about the the illegal immigrants now apparently there's statistics that even that group as a

[20:42]

statistics that even that group as a lower crime rate here's the problem with believing that statistic don't most crimes happen to your own in-group in other words ya hear somebody's atome it's less reported because I correct me if I'm wrong but most most most black people who are victims of crime it comes from the people that they live with which is other black people it's probably true that white people commit more crimes against white people probably true that Hispanics create more crimes against Hispanics etc etc because you commit crimes against the people who are nearby and if you're part of an illegal immigrant community you probably spend a lot more time with people in the same same boat now if you are an illegal immigrant and you commit lacerum of violence or let's say rape which is violence against another member of an

[21:44]

violence against another member of an immigrant community will the victim report it and I would think not wouldn't you so if our official statistics are that illegal immigrants have lower crime rates I just have to ask do they feel comfortable reporting crimes because if most crimes happen to your in-group in other words you do the crime against the people or nearby who are a lot like you on in a lot of ways I just don't know we'd know how could we possibly know the crime rate so one thing the president could say is point that out you could say just because the crime is committed against their own their own population that doesn't mean we can forgive it and I think you could separate the legal immigrants and say we want lots more of that because we do and then say that the illegal immigrants are

[22:45]

then say that the illegal immigrants are reported as having low crime but ask yourself if they would report a crime just he doesn't even have to make it as a statement you just have to look at the camera and say ask yourself do illegal immigrants report crimes against themselves and your common sense if such a thing exists I question whether they come and send success but let's just say that you would immediately conclude that no of course they don't of course they don't report crimes at the same rate as everybody else why would they would be ridiculous alright so I think the president has that one area that you can improve a lot but here's the interesting thing it's probably his biggest weakness not counting healthcare I feel as though the argument about the president being racist against African Americans is sort of shrinking isn't it ask yourself this

[23:47]

of shrinking isn't it ask yourself this when was the last time President Trump was accused of being racist against specifically specifically against African Americans I think the answer is well thirty years ago there was that thing but I don't think as president there's any charge that he's done anything except being helpful and you know that prison reform thing being a good example so his the charge of his quote racism seems to have been it's now focused on illegal immigration and this wall so he's managed to take this big big problem hey he's a big bull racist he's managed to sort of shrink it you know it's like shrink shrink shrink shrink shrink know people are not completely people are not completely talked out of it but I would say in terms of a focus and shrinking and shrinking it's focused on this border

[24:48]

shrinking it's focused on this border stuff so if he if he makes a better argument on the border stuff that sounds practical he's got he's got a good shot at re-election yeah the charlottesville a hoax is still prevalent for those of you don't know the president said they were fine people on both sides of the statue question which the media turned into hey he just said white supremacists are fine people which he did not say and so most of what the president is being attacked for in terms of racism I would say put a percentage on it but I would say 60% of what people think about the president's racial views are based on the Charlottesville hoax which we still see on CNN which is despicable let let me say this directly CNN knows

[25:48]

let let me say this directly CNN knows CNN knows that the Charlottesville stuff is fake news they know that all right I guarantee it don't ask me how I know but I'm not guessing they know it's fake news and they let their pundits say it without checking them now I don't know how many of the hosts still say it maybe Don Lemon I haven't I don't know but I don't believe all of the hosts Saints
all right yeah the Central Park five thing was also a hoax if you if you dig into the details you find out that the president ran a full-page ad against crime that was it it was a full-page ad

[26:51]

crime that was it it was a full-page ad about crime and that people said he must be talking about the Central Park five which he probably was inspired by that but he didn't even talk about him and that turned into a lot more now he did talk about him in interviews and stuff and he thought they were guilty but thinking people are guilty when the police also think they're guilty it's not exactly exactly the biggest crime in the world yeah he didn't mention race in the article that everybody's calling him a racist there was nothing about it it was about crying all right
do you know the Charlottesville hoax happened before the vehicle attack
nothing that matters I mean I know why you're saying that but even regardless of the timing of it it was obvious he was talking about the

[27:53]

it was obvious he was talking about the statute debate and he wasn't siding with white supremacist that's just batshit crazy now interesting there's also the story about the Trump properties hiring illegal immigrants now I think that story is probably fake news here's why I think it's probably fake news I would be very surprised if the Trump Organization in in any part of the world in the United States let's just talk about the United States I'd be very surprised if any Trump Organization hired illegal immigrants without checking ID right so if somebody has documentation and and it looks good to you that's a little different from saying you hired illegal immigrants that's more like hiring people the way everybody else in the world hires people and some of them were

[28:54]

world hires people and some of them were illegal immigrants so I think it's fake news the way it's reported that that would be my guess yeah if somebody has fake ideas you don't have a reason not to Eyre if they are otherwise good now I saw article saw an article yesterday and I wish I could refer to where it came from but the the essence of it was there's a prediction that the population of the earth will will plateau and start falling and when it starts falling it will fall forever and apparently there's some sciency thinking behind it part of the thinking is that as societies become wealthier they tend to have a lower birth rate I suppose that's part of it but there's actually a thought that one of the biggest problems in the future is a lack of people that will run out of people especially unfilled so

[29:56]

out of people especially unfilled so getting back to the immigration question I think the president can make it a big argument that the the future of countries is how selective they are with immigration it might it might be the number one thing that a country needs to do is become let me let me say this in positive terms instead of negative terms it might be that the greatest competitive advantage any country will have in the future is how well they attract talent from other countries so if you imagine that we will increasingly be able to move from one country to another at least physically so the physically distance isn't so much of a thing in the future you can usually figure out how to get from one place to another physically but because the the pool of qualified that people might begin to shrink in the next thirty years there would just be fewer people in the

[30:57]

there would just be fewer people in the world fewer people being born people are going to be scrambling to get the good ones so if the president is successful in setting up a good was a merit-based immigration system and he's simultaneously successful in you know plugging the other holes and getting a nice efficient you know merit-based system that's when you turn up the volume because I definitely agree with the thought that if we're bringing in you know more geniuses from India or geniuses from Asia more geniuses from Africa more geniuses from Europe if we're bringing you more geniuses and at least people who are super qualified that's a pretty good thing for the country there's you can't argue against that
there's a question about Jesus I'm not sure how that dovetails into what we're talking about I've also thought we might

[32:00]

talking about I've also thought we might reach a future where the the pollution is so bad in other places that if you can go on vacation somewhere where there's not pollution that would be a big big draw you know I've thought about going to China as a tourist and then I see the pictures of China and I say to myself why would I ever be a tourist in China because the the atmosphere is you know deadly I don't know if I can't walk out with a face mask I'm sure not going to go on any kind of a trip there now here's another trend that's important if robots start taking and taking all the let's say manufacturing jobs and manual labor jobs and a lot of other jobs so if robots start taking human jobs what types of jobs are humans least likely to take my answer is jobs in the hospitality field I'm on vacation right

[33:03]

hospitality field I'm on vacation right now and so I'm running into employees at the resort you know all the time and I can't imagine that could be wrong about this but I can't imagine a robot replacement for all of the many people who work in customer service because it's the physical interaction it's the smile that's the it's the knowing you've been heard it's the that's the human touch those are all the things that make it work and robots will never be able to do that right well I won't say never at least robots for the next thirty years probably can't do that so it seems to me that the United States as the future might want to do what I call the Costa Rica strategy if you don't know about Costa Rica and by the way have you noticed that when we're talking about all these immigrants who are coming up from some America have you noticed that you don't hear Costa Rica you don't hear Wow there sure are a lot

[34:05]

you don't hear Wow there sure are a lot of Costa Ricans coming up through Mexico and across the border it's because Costa Rica if I'm well be I hope I'm pronouncing it right as a coaster of Costa Rica it has a really good economy which is very well planned and here's what they do right in Costa Rica they built an economy around tourism and maybe some height act I think but tourism is the big thing now the beauty of tourism is that it creates lots of jobs for people who don't have a ton of education so you go to Costa Rica and you get these great resorts and this great experience and you're this is this is true your waiter your waiter in Costa Rica went to college to be a waiter your bartender in Costa Rica went to college to be a bartender do you think the service in Costa Rica is good it's

[35:06]

service in Costa Rica is good it's really good it's really good because they take that stuff seriously they said our economy is going to be tourism and you can't even be a waiter here unless you went to a waiter college think about that think about how good their tourism is when you can't even be a waiter whether I'm going to college for it right and you feel it when you're here now they've rejected fossil fuels so Costa Rica apparently does have at least some some fossil fuels at least they have resources but they've decided as a country not to exploit them and that they're it's a completely you know it's the greenest country in Central America I think so they don't have the military because they rely on the United States and they're in a good part down no military they're very green they're not they're not explained or oil even though they could and they've turned tourism into a first-class very successful

[36:08]

into a first-class very successful business that's working very well when I was in Costa Rica and this was several years ago I would see these scary big trucks of I believe they were Nicaraguans who were being trucked in to Costa Rica because Costa Rica didn't have enough labor their economy was so good and they had such good jobs that they couldn't even get enough Costa Ricans to work the fields so Costa Rican agriculture had to ship in Nicaraguans in these these scary trucks that were just like packed with people very inhuman inhumane so I'm my guess is that the United States is going to become sort of the tourist destination as the robots start taking our regular jobs and then everybody just works at the resort and you know they they're in customer service but there's just a lot of it by the way I used to work at a resort for years going through college and high

[37:10]

years going through college and high school I worked at a resort and it's a good lifestyle the being an employee at a resort is a good lifestyle even at lower pain so
all right so I'm just looking at your comments is anything else going on that's about it right this inter standard of living pretty low income again not as low as Nicaragua it's all relative all right I think we've covered it all RBG nothing to say about her that's a wait-and-see Northam there's nothing left to say about northern you want to know more about my home coffeemaker it's a meal a m IL mie LP but it's an old one so you you should

[38:10]

but it's an old one so you you should look into the new ones jussie Smollett all right Jesse Smollett his story about being attacked by the people in megawhatts we don't know for sure what happened but if I had to put a percentage on it I'd say 95 percent fabricated meaning there's a 95% chance that the Jesse smaller story is not true now I'm not sure it's not true because that would be a hundred percent but I'd say based on what we've seen and heard 95 percent unlikely to be true Stacey Abrams so I watched Stacey Abrams reply here's what I remember of it nothing there was absolutely nothing about Stacey Abrams reply that was interesting or memorable I'm going to

[39:13]

interesting or memorable I'm going to say this next thing very carefully
I'm not even sure if I can I don't know if there's a way to say this without with them at being horribly taken into context and ruining my life let's say this Stacey Abrams is no Barack Obama and she's no Oprah did that did that help me at all did that protect me you know how the camera loves Oprah and you know how the camera loves Obama and even if you don't like their politics and even if you don't like them personally you would certainly agree that Obama and Oprah have you know charisma through the roof right they can hold the they can hold your attention they can hold the screen

[40:13]

your attention they can hold the screen they can really they can really hold you Stacey Abrams doesn't have that so yeah that's as carefully as I can say it she does not have that thing that makes me want to watch more of her yeah you can be mean in the comments and I'm not sure I would disagree with where you're going with this but she's in the world of television she's a tough sale and I'm trying to be as kind as possible while also being objective alright objectively speaking I just don't know if television is our medium I'm just gonna say that

[41:26]

mediagenic that's an interesting term yeah I know there's it's dangerous territory isn't
all right I don't think there's anything else to talk about is there it's time for another sip of coffee well then I will just remind you that if you want health care costs to go down and you want to help people who don't have health care my startup SAP called interface buy one hub is now adding doctors so we have doctors that you can call in the app and get a video called on demand and if they're licensed in your state and many of them are they can even write prescriptions and so you can get a second opinion or talk to a doctor about let's say it's something embarrassing you could talk to a doctor right away and you don't have to embarrass yourself to your regular doctor and if you want to get a second opinion which I find I often do it would

[42:27]

opinion which I find I often do it would be a quick way to get one you know in 10 minutes you can you can have a doctor on the phone and you're getting a second opinion so please go to interface by wind hub at the app stores and download it it's free just in case you need it now you might have a situation where there's somebody you know who needs some medical care and isn't willing to go get it in that case you might also want to refer to a doctor and you know yet to be able to help your friend or family member all right let's talk about aoc it was a bad night for aoc do we all agree than that it was a bad night for AMC now I can say that because I've been saying she has lots of good nights and in fact we're still talking about her so if we're talking about her arguably it's a good night but I thought she looked Petty and small for

[43:28]

I thought she looked Petty and small for for her reactions so she seemed Petty and small but we're also talking about her so so I guess you winced again
bitter beer face is that a thing what about Bernie
why do I avoid Venezuela well what is there to say about Venezuela I'm not sure I have anything to add to Venezuela that isn't actually just the news coverage the places of mass socialism doesn't work and oh I did like when the president said we'll never be a socialist country country yeah thanks for priming me there prompted me I don't know that he's right because I if I had

[44:29]

know that he's right because I if I had to predict I would predict that we will become a socialist country you don't want to hear that dear here's my prediction the United States will become a socialist country when robots come because once the robots are doing all the hard stuff it won't make sense to have normal normal jobs and normal stuff so you'll always have some billionaires who own everything but I think that for a large percentage of the population maybe in 50 years you know not right away normal jobs will be rare and probably if you have a job that'll be enough to get health care and housing and all that
all right Bernie's face yeah he didn't seem happy it must be tough it must be tough to be a Democrat in that room because you have to have that unhappy face the whole time even when he's saying things you should be cheering

[45:30]

saying things you should be cheering about all right that's enough for now I'm going to go do something else I would show you the view but it's still dark here I'll talk to you later
