boom boom boom boom Popo well I don't know how many of you were gonna join me today versus still watching the coverage of the president announcing the successful operation against El Baghdady who I call L beg daddy because he's kind of dead we'll talk about that but first we're gonna have the simultaneous it yeah the simultaneous sip is always good it's the best part of your day in fact but today a little extra because we're going to be lifting our vessels are our containers to a successful operation to the US military who carried this out it's an excellent day oh I'm sorry your house is about to burn down and he'll yield Hillsborough that well that's
[1:07]
yield Hillsborough that well that's that's a mood-killer very sorry about that we're going to talk about that a minute but first let us capture whatever pleasure we can today all you need is a copper of Margaret glasses snifter Stein chalice tanker thermos flask canteen Grail goblet a vessel of any kind shoulder with your favorite liquid I prefer coffee and join me now for the simultaneous up the dopamine to the day the thing that will make everything better unless you live in California apparently here it goes oh well you probably all are aware of the big news us our forces just took out el Baghdady and we watched the president talking about it here's my favorite part the president described in visual and audio detail al Baghdadi whimpering and
[2:08]
audio detail al Baghdadi whimpering and crying and cowardly taking his three children to their death at the end of a tunnel there's a serious wind event going on right here I'm gonna take you outside in a minute to show you what's going on in California and why we're in trouble but let me finish this point I mean it's actually so noisy out there with the wind it's it looks like there's a hurricane going on out there
so here's my observation about that number one how in the world does anyone including the president know what what Baghdady was doing at the end of a tunnel before he blew himself up because we know that no American forces were injured right so no American service people were injured yet we are aware what Baghdadi did at the at the end of a tunnel before
[3:09]
did at the at the end of a tunnel before he blew himself up because the blowing himself up part would tell you that there couldn't have been any American service people too close yeah so one possibility is that we had a drone or a robot they've followed him down the tunnel but there's another yeah somebody's added me on the comments there was a dog that was injured the dog probably had a camera so I've got a feeling that the President of the United States was watching the dog cam chase al Baghdady down in a tunnel and that you know maybe the dog was ordered to pull back or something just before the at the blast so it got injured but not killed
so congratulations to the dog good job dog here's what I love about this we don't know exactly if the President did have good audio and video of the moments
[4:11]
have good audio and video of the moments before Baghdady debt died but here's what else we know nobody else did right if the president says Baghdady was whimpering and crying and killed his own three kids voluntarily who is going to disagree nobody else saw it how perfect is it that the president left Isis with this little little farewell gift and the gift that he left them it's really scary outside right now I'm not joking the wind is dangerous sounding but the the gift that that Trump left Isis is a visual description a story if you will of his final moments now is that story accurate we'll never know I mean unless
[5:12]
accurate we'll never know I mean unless it seems unlikely but I suppose if someday we saw a video from a dog cam or a robot or something I mean maybe maybe we'll find out exactly what happened but I don't think it matters what matters is that Trump drew a picture for the entire world of the Isis leader being chased by a dog into a tunnel and willingly blowing up his own 3 children while whimpering that's really good that is some good presidenting for all the things that you want to say about the president that you know you think he did wrong can he give me this ok can we agree on this this was kind of perfect he kind of nailed us not only was he the president and gave the orders to find el
[6:13]
president and gave the orders to find el Baghdady and you know realistically it's the military who's doing the heavy lifting it's it always strikes me as I don't know a little illegitimate that Obama took credit for killing al Qaeda it's not you know much different Trump taking credit for at least in a sense taking credit as being the cheat the the head of the army you know so let's be honest it's the military that gets these things done it's not the civilian government they just say yes but this is an amazing moment and I think the president handled it perfectly in terms of just putting the the final urination on Baghdadi Baghdadi's grave by telling the story the way he did it's the we don't have a competing story we only have one visual in her head and it's why each of us imagined when he
[7:14]
it's why each of us imagined when he told us the story of him going down this dead-end tunnel with his three kids and the suicide vest I mean he painted a picture for us that picture will never leave your head and maybe here's the fun part maybe it's not even true I mean it might be true it might be exactly what happened he may have seen the whole thing but it doesn't matter because whether it was exactly true or let's say a hyperbolic persuasive version of what he'd like you to think were the last minutes I'm not sure that matters because there will be no competing competing story nobody else was there so this president nailed the you know the description of what happened that's just as hard as you can nail something you can't you know you could you could have a hundred nail guns and you couldn't nail anything harder than that
[8:14]
couldn't nail anything harder than that now I'm already hearing some what's a cautious criticism of the president's announcement because there was some worry that he may have gone too far and giving out some details that would give I know some enemy of the country an advantage I don't know exactly what there were several things he said which I said to myself I wonder if everybody else knew that you know one of the examples was that we knew a lot about the tunnel structure
did we necessarily want anybody to know that we knew the tunnels total structure now it seems to me the only way you could know that is that you had people on the ground you had human intelligence sources but they're either gone now or they died in the raid so I'm not sure there was any secret to give up it had to be people and and it's not like
[9:14]
to be people and and it's not like anybody doesn't know you you try to get people on the ground so I didn't see anything that I necessarily would say the president went too far and describing what we did but you certainly on the edge he certainly took it to the edge what what are the things about Trump is it it's impossible for him to be uninteresting have you noticed that whatever he talks it doesn't even matter what the topic is you're watching it and you're entertained and you're thinking god this could go off the rails any minute he could say something that would end his presidency any minute where he could say something that will just change the news any minute so any time the president is talking he has this unusual ability to make everybody wonder if something gonna happen now is there something really bad or something really good is something gonna happen now this doesn't feel normal it's gonna happen all right as all the experts are
[10:15]
happen all right as all the experts are saying Isis of course has more than one leader they can replace him but I always I always say this there was only one guy who had whatever it took to form Isis and create a Caliphate for a while and kill all those people there was only one guy who pulled that off now if that one guy didn't exist would someone else have done it I don't know I I mean I think you have to say to yourself if Steve Jobs had not created Apple was somebody else gonna do it don't know maybe somebody else would have done something like it maybe but you always have to wonder how important could it be that once you take get rid of the most talented player that the second most talented person who takes
[11:16]
second most talented person who takes over might not be even the same league it could be that the second best Isis guy just isn't very good we won't know but I would say that it's true that if you start killing them from the top and work your way down the odds of them ending up with an incompetent leader just by you know a trophy and and you know the normal course of things the odds of them ending up with somebody who just can't get the job done of being Isis it's pretty good it's pretty good now of course the big question that everybody's asking about the death of Baghdad is will Hillary Clinton get in the race to head Isis okay I could resist that there are questions about our allies who help to do it in interestingly the Kurds are taking credit for being helpful and I think the president has confirmed that to be the
[12:17]
president has confirmed that to be the case so that's interesting apparently the Kurds in the u.s. worked together productively and Turkey was either uninvolved or just gave us permission to fly over and didn't do much about anything but the president had this weird sort of unscripted moment when he said that Turkey you know could have been shooting at us but because we crossed their territory I guess or we're sort of in their zone of military influence he said they could have shot at us but that it would have been really bad for them I'm paraphrasing I'm thinking I don't know I don't know if you needed to mention that's I don't think you need to mention that if our NATO ally ally shot at us we would wipe them out but he did but he did I can't hate that it's so honest well you are our NATO ally what if he'd shot in our direction
[13:19]
ally what if he'd shot in our direction we would have wiped you out because it's true if turkey had shot at any military forces we would have taken him out in a heartbeat so it's just funny to hear him say it in direct language yeah their NATO ally but we would have taken him out because it's true all right let's talk about some other things here along with this so Trump is talking about using military forces to secure the oil fields in Syria and the whole time you saying this there was a question that was percolating in my head that the news for some reason didn't seem to be interested in answering or even asking which is for whom I mean that's part of the story the US forces are securing the oil wells in
[14:19]
US forces are securing the oil wells in a part of Syria for who for Syria for Russia for the Kurds for us and then today he gave a little information to this the president yet and it was striking that I don't think the press ever asked that question at least I never saw a report did you I mean I can't say I've seen every report ever made unserious and maybe I just missed it
it but it feels like sort of a big question we're gonna send our military to control some oil assets in another country this is the natural question why did we do it just for the Kurds now if we did it for the Kurds that's pretty nice of us because the Kurds were good allies we let them down in terms of
[15:21]
good allies we let them down in terms of you know the turkey taking over the territory but we also hadn't made promises about that at least in terms of you know Turkey and the safe zone I don't think we had promised the Kurds a homeland but by securing the oil and making apparently making some of it or all of it or something some part of it available to the Kurds that's pretty good that's that's not nothing now the president also said that he might be interested in making it available to an American oil company to which I said to myself what how does that work can we just militarily take over a part of someone else's country and then give it to an American oil company is that a thing we can do I remember the president talking about that with Iraq he said why don't we just take the oil and pay for the war and I remember thinking hi you can't do that can you maybe you can so
[16:22]
can't do that can you maybe you can so here he is in Syria and he's just saying we're just going to take this oil and maybe keep it for ourselves now I ask myself if we take this oil and decide that we're gonna continue guarding it forever I would suppose so the Exxon can pump it out are we going to keep any is the United States government can use any of that profit to pay for its military in that area could we get to the point where our military presence is self-funding because we we own the oil that's fueling our military presence if we did it would be one of the coolest things that were all right have all of you seen my photoshop work in which I took a picture of James clapper and I turned his famous frown upside down just to see what it would look like if he smiled for once I think it's got something like 350,000 views since
[17:25]
something like 350,000 views since yesterday I spent all of a minute and a half on that and it's got 350,000 views so I must have hit a nerve there so go check my Twitter feed you from yesterday and you'll see clapper with an upside-down smile
so I there's a comic running today a Dilbert comic it's my Sunday comic and it features the boss saying that he made a deal with elbonia elbonia is a mythical country that I used in the comic strip so I don't have to refer to real companies he made a deal and Dilber points out that they steal all of his company's intellectual property and they also ship illegal drugs to our country the elbonian stoom killing thousands of our countrymen but we're still doing
[18:26]
our countrymen but we're still doing them a deal now that might remind you of some country you know so let's see what happens do you think China will complain about the Dilbert comic which doesn't mention China it only mentions elbonia it kind of puts them in a spot doesn't it because if they complain about a comic about elbonia they would be forced to admit that that comic explains what they're doing which I think they'd prefer not so I think they have to ignore it because complaining about it would draw attention to it right and
because it because it draws attention to it now let me tell you that I have some business in China as well indirectly meaning that the Dilbert comic is syndicated which means that the syndication company sells it all over the world and the last I knew there was
[19:28]
the world and the last I knew there was at least one English newspaper in China that that bought the strip's so I have some small amount of business in China that I'm happy to lose my my syndication company would be less happy to lose it I'm sure but if that happens as so it might be an expensive day for me
me we'll see and I would not that I'll ever sell another book in China I have sold books a lot of books in China and I don't think that's ever going to happen again so so it's expensive to say what's on your mind but I like to keep the pressure on fentanyl China or as I like to call them Louisa Lee cheat in China so there's also as a story I'm seeing mostly on Fox News about Chinese organ harvesting that there that they may or may not be harvesting the organs of still living prisoners of a small religious sect sort
[20:31]
prisoners of a small religious sect sort of they would call it a cult probably now here's the thing do you think that's real do you think that's real I'm gonna lean toward not real now I would not be surprised I would not be surprised if it had happened at least once so if you tell me that some prisoners have been used for organ donation but perhaps they were you know going to be executed anyway I would say probably why waste a good organ I mean I don't I'm not even sure I have a big problem with the idea that China was using the organs from people they were going to execute anyway so long as those were real crimes I mean if it wasn't a real crime then of course it's a horror but if there were murderers or whatever and they were gonna be executed it anyway you know why waste some organs so I
[21:35]
you know why waste some organs so I would guess here's just my speculation based on what I know about the world and things we've seen in patterns we've seen before but just speculation that there's probably something to it meaning that even if you were even if the only thing you were doing is using the organs from executed prisoners that's sort of a bad situation because it would encourage them to maybe execute more people than they would why's because it could be profitable it might be really profitable to execute people if you can sell their organs and who knows what kind of corruption pay back bribes or involved in the prison system / medical community whatever so there's probably something real to it I just don't know that it's an ongoing you know keep them alive while you're taking their organs that was situation or not
[22:36]
so here's a question to you do you remember it wasn't long ago that I was talking about the word grifter came into heavy usage with the anti-trump purse they were calling they were calling me a grifter just about every day they were calling other Trump supporters grifters they were calling the president a grifter and it's not my imagination right it was all over social media everybody's a grifter you're a grifter grifter and you may remember that I I set it as my goal to make that word go away and the way I was gonna do it was by just overusing the word against my critics and that word just went away have you noticed that it just stopped being on social media I mean you still see it but when you do now it's rare and it used to be just sort of every day now here's my question was it because it didn't work so people just stopped using it and moved on to other talking points
[23:37]
it and moved on to other talking points because I think this was mostly paid trolls I don't know how many of these were real people and how many were trolls but that grifter word was just used all the time and then it just stopped is it because of me wearing it out is it because of a hunter Biden it might be that the hunter Biden story is what killed the word grifter because you know before hunter Biden you could say Oh Trump Trump child grifter grifter grifter but after hunter Biden you had to throw him in the story he had to be part of the story if you were gonna call Trump a grifter for whatever somebody's gonna say have you heard of Joe Biden the guy who's leading on your side so I don't know if I had anything to do that well I don't know if it timed out I don't know if the talking points changed maybe they tested it they meaning the left maybe they tested it the professionals did and found out it didn't move the
[24:37]
did and found out it didn't move the needle but probably the hunter Biden thing might be the biggest part so I just went away here's another one that was a gigantic issue that let me ask you if this is your impression does it seem to you that the the way climate change is being talked about right now is substantially different than even a few months ago have you noticed that and could it be because there's now enough there are enough of Advocates you know I'm one of them you know Mark Snyder Michael Shellenberger Bill Gates there are a number of people who are sort of prominent in the sense that they make a lot of noise I don't want to call myself prominent but I make a lot of noise people saying that nuclear energy is the way to go whether you believe in climate change or not and then it's totally
[25:39]
change or not and then it's totally practical and that will probably get there now do you think that that calmed down the hysteria it feels like the hysteria settle down maybe it's because the 16 year old Greta Sundberg she made her to her and then she she left so maybe that she was the reason we were getting more attention but it feels as though there's some kind of a sudden change where the leading Democrats are still talking about climate change of course but it feels like it went from the top priority to well just something you mentioned so that's just something to watch because the the nuclear energy play as a solution to climate change and even if you don't believe in it you still want as much of it as possible because you still need a clean energy maybe it just made this story less important we'll see
[26:41]
made this story less important we'll see so I'd be interested oh so yesterday I had a guest on so James came on and we were talking about Trump and his views of Trump it might confuse the Trump and I was I want to ask you your opinion on it because I'm trying to decide to have more guests to to bring James back just trying to get a get a sense of how that went over because when I was talking with him I was listening primarily and not watching the comments so I didn't have a good sense of how the audience was reacting was it useful to you that I was using the techniques in my new book loser think that's available for pre-order right now it'll be out November 5th so if you order it now you'll get it in time and I hope you do by the way so please buy my book it would make me very
[27:42]
please buy my book it would make me very happy was it useful to you for me to point out using the techniques in the book when as I was talking with James when he was word thinking just trying to label something you know he's a con man but without any backup you know that's the word thinking part and then the mind-reading I call that his mind-reading a number of times and and you saw that that was fairly effective wasn't it whenever I called out that he was mind-reading it made him almost necessarily have to you know scramble to present a better defense and I think I also pointed out that he was in a bubble bubble he was in one of these bubbles because he actually claimed that he was pretty sure he was so sure that there was no new wall being built on the border with Mexico that he actually challenged me to Google live while we're here and of course it
[28:44]
live while we're here and of course it took me 10 seconds to google that Sandhya was built a bunch of wall since then people have tweeted me a lot of stories showing you know how many miles of wall have been built but alright you kind of amazed that there's somebody who is a political advocate social advocate lawyer Harvard trained and very smart guy obviously you don't go to Harvard if you're not but are you were you shocked and amazed there's something that's a hundred hundred percent universal knowledge probably to every single person watching this periscope I'll bet there wasn't one person on this periscope now there's two point four thousand people live about all two point four thousand of you were fully aware that there is serious wall being built on the border primarily or maybe exclusively I don't know but in places where there were always some kind of barrier but it
[29:45]
were always some kind of barrier but it wasn't a good one so it wasn't working now obviously that's where you want to put your wall first because the reason there was a barrier there before is because it was already identified as an important place that people across so putting a good barrier where there was a bad barrier would make sense as the most important place to do it so it's happening you know hundreds of miles and how could there be somebody who's watching the news who's not aware of that and the answer is if you watch only the news from the left and it works the other way too if you're watching only the news on the right you're in a bubble you don't know the news that's not being reported on your side so that was interesting so here's the question yeah I got I got different comments on that would you like to see James come back if you saw yesterday would you like to see him come back for another topic
[30:46]
him come back for another topic you know something similar in the news
or other people with the same kind of arguments I just want to get get some kind of an opinion from you now I want to I want to defend James a little bit from some of your comments number one how brave is it that he came into unfriendly territory and you know made his case very brave and how many people could have done that could you have done that I talk in in my book loosely think I talked about the importance of being able to use your ego as a tool and not at not a description of who you are now if James thought that his ego was
[31:47]
now if James thought that his ego was who he is would he put himself at risk by coming into unfriendly territory where you know sort of things were stacked against him now he probably wouldn't have you probably would not have so you can judge just based on this one interaction that James has the ability to put his ego where it belongs you know in the tool box not as an identity of who he is and he just used it as a tool he said today today I'll set it aside and go into unfriendly territory and mix it up now many of you because you're you're sort of biased in my favor because that's why you're here and this periscope that there's no surprise so most of you thought Oh Scott you got the best of this conversation don't you think he knew that that was gonna be the reaction he knew that right I mean I'm sure he didn't think I'm I can't I can't read his mind but it's reasonable to assume that when you go
[32:48]
reasonable to assume that when you go into enemy territory politically enemy territory that you're gonna take some hits gonna take some hits now what do you think is his reaction because now by now he's seen lots of tweets he's probably saw he's probably seen the comments I don't know if he played it back but he's probably seen your comments a lot of them were very negative what do you think his responses to all the negative comments he asked he come back on again do it again could you do that ask yourself could you do that could you come on here get ripped apart by the audience most mostly on its because it's a sort of a you know unfriendly audience for his point of view could you do that and then come back and say let's do that again just ask yourself if you can do that all right he did it so I'll put that out to you you don't have to ask him now maybe
[33:49]
you you don't have to ask him now maybe you could tweet at me and I saw that some of you were you know not entertained and others were but give me a better sense of this and I'll have a better idea whether we shouldn't do more of it or not speaking of guess I have a request for you and it's this I would like to see if I could get Matt gates hold on I've got a call up Twitter here while I'm talking because I want to check something as I talk I would like to get Matt gates to come on my periscope but I don't think I can entice him because obviously he's a great demand I mean he's on TV all the time probably one of the busiest people in Congress right now all the stuff he's doing and in order to get him on here
and because I don't think he would imagine that this would be worth his time if I were him I would be skeptical
[34:51]
time if I were him I would be skeptical a bit as well but here's what I'd like you to do I'd like you to follow him on Twitter you don't have to tweet at him you don't have to say anything I just want his numbers so he's at 220,000 point four followers I wanted I want to be able to say by the end at the end of today maybe the end of tomorrow I want to be able to say that his numbers one of 10,000 because I asked you to follow him and by the way you should follow him you should follow aoc on the left and you should follow Matt Gaetz on the right because they're the most persuasive and interesting people on the two sides so if you're not following those two you're missing a great show just a great show so Matt's been killing it lately with his persuasive ways and he's just the perfect person to have on the show for a variety of reasons but rather than ask him to be on the show directly I'm gonna do it indirectly so
[35:52]
directly I'm gonna do it indirectly so I'm asking you to go to Twitter and follow him at he's at Mack Yates and spelled em as in Matt ma TT Gates's G a e TZ so just follow Matt Gaetz and I want to see his numbers go up to over 230,000 and then what if that happens then I'll then I'll send him a message I have a way to get him a message and I'll say hey we just added 10,000 users could you come talk to us I think that would be enough don't you if we could get him 10,000 new followers I think that would be enough for him to say hey I'll give you 10 minutes all right please do that for me it'll be fun to see if we can make that happen and then see what else I got here I think I had one other topic I wanted to talk about
[36:53]
so North Korea is making some news but there they got sort of overshadowed by all the Baghdadi's stuff and I've been wondering to myself how could we ever make a deal with North Korea when the problem is who goes first North Korea's it seems to be that the bottom line is North Korea wants us to go first by withdrawing some troops or something like that and of course we want them to go first by giving up their nukes but they don't want to do that because they're afraid that we'll attack them and kill them so I would like to brainstorm a few solutions for the problem that nobody wants to go first I think we could go first but the trick is to go first with something that looks like going first and does have some real value but still leaves Lots on the table so in other words we will still go first but we still maintain a lot of leverage let me give you an example we could say how about we go first and we'll declare
[37:54]
how about we go first and we'll declare that the war is over we'll just you know we'll just declare that we are not at war with North Korea now what does that cost you nothing nothing doesn't cost you anything but it goes first now if you're North Korea are you just as afraid of the United States if they've if they if Congress let's say Congress does it declares the end of the war are you just as afraid of Congress the week they declare an end of war you're not it is going first so somebody has to go first now that alone would not be enough to you know make it all happen you know there's a second part here and I'm gonna offer this as a clever persuasion / negotiating technique but I'm also going to fully disclose it because it's the sort of persuasion / technique that it's fair to tell the
[38:55]
technique that it's fair to tell the other side this is exactly what we're doing you know there's there's no secret trick here this is exactly what you think it is and it looks like this say to North Korea there's since there they're concerned about their security there their military security that the United States would be willing to draw down some of its some maybe all of its military assets under the following conditions and watch how clever this is and the following conditions are that North Korea's secure eteri security can be guaranteed by any combination of the US Russia China and South Korea now the the magic of this technique is the any combination part so in other words we would say to North Korea you know we don't care we don't
[39:56]
Korea you know we don't care we don't care if if you team with the Chinese military so long as you get rid of your nukes you could invite the Chinese military to set up a shop into your country you have some kind of a joint military support a thing with them as long as you get rid of your nukes because we have we have a risk with China that's not really gonna change if they also have some more control over North Korea all we care about is the nukes that's it that's all we care about so we'd say to them here's the deal you could make a military agreement with us to protect against China and Russia there's some some kind of a way we could say look how about instead of being your enemy will will form a military alliance with you North Korea to help you in case China or Russia attacks you now it doesn't have to be you know sending in troops but we could say you know we'll
[40:58]
troops but we could say you know we'll sell your weapons or whatever now I'm not as I'm not suggesting that North Korea would accept any of these deals that's not the point remember this is a persuasion technique it does not it does not rely on being factual and it does not rely on anybody actually liking any of these techniques now let's say you say them here's another choice North Korea you can make a deal where where the US Russia and China the three of us and let's say South Korea all all agree to protect you militarily from the others in other words if China gets busy with North Korea and tries to take over the US and Russia and South Korea well protect them if Russia tries to take over North Korea China South Korea the US will help protect them so the idea here is that we give North Korea a choice of
[41:58]
choice of what their own security situation would look like and then we told them what it will support all of them we don't even care which one they think will support all of them as long as you get rid of your nukes because we're we are committed to not wanting to attack North Korea we have a president who can make that case pretty bene persuasively so the the magic of the persuasion is that you give North Korea several choices that they have complete freedom to pick what kind of security situation would you be happy with you tell us we only want one thing get rid of the nukes and by the way if it'll warm things up for you
you we'd like to declare the end of end of the Korean War so I think going first to break the logjam we should probably declare an end to the war going the second thing is to have a
[42:59]
war going the second thing is to have a serious discussion of all the options and maybe it's public even all the options for protecting North Korea's territorial integrity now the other thing that's interesting is you know you heard that Kim jong-un said he was going to tear down a resort that they built in North Korea and just rebuild it to make it better because it just wasn't good enough
since somebody's saying so he's got a problem with that gates do you think I care about who somebody's parents were I don't care about that that's not a standard that I would care about here are things I don't care about I don't care about you're related to somebody you're associated with somebody or you did something long ago when you were young and dumb those are all the things I don't care about all right but if he
[44:01]
I don't care about all right but if he does something well that counts you know if he does that as a mature adult that counts all right that's my idea for North Korea we've got to give them something that doesn't mean much which is the end of the war finding it just you know so psychologically we would end it and then open it up to say you tell us how did it how to secure your you are territory and we're open to pretty much every one of those ideas we just don't want to that's it that's all our whole deal right there I think we could get there I don't know exactly what's holding things up maybe it has nothing to do with a yeah but we'll find out all right that is all I have for today the wind actually just died down so I'll give you a well since you asked I'll take you over to the window you want to go outside and no you do all right
[45:03]
go outside and no you do all right bear with me
