hey where is everybody come on in it's time it's time for coffee with scott adams this will be one of the most unique and novel dare i say novel uh coffee with scott adams you'll ever see
see yeah it's a new look and if you'd like to
to engage in the simultaneous sip i know i know you do all you need is watch me do this for a memory a copper mug or glass a tanker chalice or stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the dopamine of the day the thing that makes everything better except possibly this hotel room and it's called the simultaneous sit it happens now

[1:17]

so um i'm out of town although i may be returning to town soon sooner than i hoped the uh the fire that's near where i live in california in the east bay as now uh the evacuation zone is extended to right next to my neighborhood so the next time they extend it i will be taking an early flight back and uh clearing out my house and grabbing the animals and making a run for it um i'm hoping that doesn't happen i think it's a 50 50 at this point but the it looks like they're going to make a stand uh the fire department's calling in lots of out of an estate and other help and it looks like they're going to make a stand on a certain road that if they succeed would be a really big deal so they'd save a lot of houses um but enough about me do you want to hear about the news yes my house is in danger not not at the

[2:20]

yes my house is in danger not not at the moment but i'd say the odds of losing it or maybe 25 do you know how hard it is to enjoy your time away from home if you think that there's a 25 chance you'll come back to a charred ember very hard very hard to enjoy my time off let's just say if you're going to plan some time away don't do it when your house might burn up that's just that's my vacation advice for you now you're probably asking scott why are you laying on the floor well i'm in a very high-end hotel situation here it's actually sort of a kind of a home and somehow they they designed this so there are no um there are no outlets in any place you would have want to use an outlet so the only place in this whole place that i could figure out how to set up my situation here was lying on the floor in the corner

[3:20]

was lying on the floor in the corner next to the waste basket so that's about as good as i can do because my computer was low on power let's talk about all the fun things so the funniest story of the day is that richard spencer you all know richard spencer most famous well maybe second most famous racist in the united states and one of the organizers of and here's the fun part the charlottesville uh tiki torch guys all right so get this one of the organizers of the charlottesville racist event richard spencer just endorsed biden
could that be any better that's right spencer is endorsing biden now a spokesperson for the biden campaign has has denounced him and you know said we don't accept that but where is biden himself

[4:21]

but where is biden himself is that good enough for you you know is it good enough that a spokesperson denies the endorsement i have to ask myself if a racist likes biden doesn't that make him a racist joe biden doesn't it well i think it does i learned this from democrats i learned that you become whoever endorses you which is weird because all the people that who endorse you are different but you become all of them simultaneously that's what they told us with trump that if anybody bad ever endorsed him then trump must be bad because those are the people who are endorsing him right totally uh it's logical so if richard spencer endorses biden i don't make the rules that's their own rule ah excuse me why roll on my stomach here trying to find a way to be comfortable

[5:21]

trying to find a way to be comfortable so
so that's going on and
i can't think of anything that's funnier than that now the beauty of it of course is it's all ridiculous and nobody cares what this one person you know thinks he may be trolling we don't know but it puts him in the news do i hate the fact that the organizer of the charlottesville event which later the media turned into the charlottesville fine people hoax do i mind that he's in the news again no i do not
somebody says did i get a chance to see the vice special on charlottesville i did not but i wouldn't trust device for anything so
so i would i would expect that whatever they came up with might not be that credible
so anyway the the rules that the democrats have taught us and i think we should play by their rules because they're very clear and they make so much sense

[6:22]

they make so much sense one is that biden is a racist because a racist endorsed him that's i mean i think that's just obvious you know qed and then the other is that he confirms that he's a racist by not denouncing him now you say to yours now you're saying to me scott but his spokesperson denounced him right away oh no that doesn't count no spokesperson denouncing i want to see joe biden denouncing him personally and when he does do you know what i'm going to say because he will do you know what i'm going to say i'm going to say i'm going to look at my watch that i don't have on my hand and i'm going to say um that took a long time how long does it take to denounce richard spencer i mean should that take a day i mean you've got twitter you know you know what twitter is you have a phone just tweet it out joe biden i denounce

[7:24]

just tweet it out joe biden i denounce him
him um so those are the rules somebody says so you're confirming david duke and trump are racist i'm just saying that the rules need to be the same so it looks like the only people running are racists this time so if you want a non-racist i'd recommend kanye really you know if that's your thing so all right enough about that um so speaking of biden who i like to call joe biden because as i've described too often by joe biden making the charlottesville find people hoax the centerpiece of his campaign that's maybe stupid maybe he doesn't know it's a hoax but by now somebody's told him by now somebody's told him it's a hoax by now he's certainly read the transcript okay probably not

[8:24]

read the transcript okay probably not but uh in any way he's either really stupid or he's really evil those are the only options if you're making that the centerpiece of your campaign but abc interviewed him david muir david muir has been in my home it's one of the small worlds sort of thing david muir interviewed me years ago when i had my voice problems nice guy but he interviewed biden and he asked him about the allegations of his
his cognitive decline and this was if i can do a my best impression of joe biden when asked on camera about his cognitive decline here was joe biden's answer
no i don't have any cognitive decline i think that my impression was right on

[9:27]

i think that my impression was right on pretty pretty close in fact if somebody tuned this in and they just saw that impression of joe biden they would probably say oh look it's joe biden doing another speech they probably wouldn't even know it wasn't joe biden until this part where i say i'm not joe biden i'm not joe biden i'm just doing such a dead-on impression of him over laughing now here's the thing the overlap is really a tell all right uh let me give you another example of where the overlap can tell you something hey uh scott did you murder that puppy murder the puppy
who would never think i'd murder a puppy not me so always look for the overlap as your confirmation of the thing being true now the other thing that biden said which which might which might get him poisoned by kamala harris by the end of today

[10:28]

harris by the end of today is he said during that interview that he would consider running us for a second term if he wins the first term yeah oh yeah he said come on man come on man
man so biden is saying that he would run for a second term maybe he's not ruling it out if he wins the first term what do you think kabul harris thought about that she was she was probably you know watching the interview for the first time like everybody else was like oh let's see how the top of the ticket did joe biden said he
he might run for a second term [Music] and then she called putin and asked him who his poison guy is who's your poison guy putin send him over here um kellyanne conway is announced she's leaving the white house you all know the story her husband george conway from the lincoln project anti-trumper and then her 15 year old daughter got involved in social media and was calling on her

[11:31]

in social media and was calling on her mother for being a trump supporter and kellyanne decided to step away from her job one of the highest profile jobs in america and at the same time her husband george decided to step away from the anti-trump stuff the lincoln project and concentrate on the family and i have to say i gotta say i respect that um i also have this weird respect for the whole family i i know i know i'm probably all alone in this but there's there's something there's something awesome about uh not only how brave they all are because they'll all do everything in public so they're really brave uh they're all smart you you assume the kids are probably smart too and they've all got incredible guts and they'll put just put anything out there it's like they they just operate on some

[12:31]

it's like they they just operate on some different level where there's no filter it seems all three of them have that at least the ones we know of including the daughter they all have that no filter thing which i don't hate i don't hate that you know they've got some stuff to work out it sounds like but i just kind of like their spunkiness the whole family if they ever did a reality tv show when you watch that can you imagine a better reality tv show than the conway's i'd be all over that alright so the president gave his uh gave his little press conference yesterday and announced that uh i don't i forget i don't know the details on this convalescent blood plasma thing i was traveling when all that happened i didn't catch up but apparently he's he and the fda have said that that's now on the table so i don't know what it means yet in terms of the blood plasma because it took about one

[13:32]

blood plasma because it took about one minute for jake tapper to tweet that it was an unproven possibly ineffective treatment have you ever heard that
somebody says you mocked the child a few days ago i did not i did not and you get blocked for that so
so mischaracterizing my opinion in public always gets you blocked um so i did not mock the the 15 year old not not at all um so what was i saying oh yeah so me excuse me i gotta plug in my laptop before it dies on me so
um the cod pleasant plasma stuff so every everybody knows that's you take the antibodies in the blood of somebody who's recovered give it to somebody who needs it and you know about half of them will do better or something but there's some dispute about whether

[14:34]

but there's some dispute about whether it works or whether it's lasting or whatever but don't you think that all you need is a commercial market for that and it would be huge because right now it's sort of a volunteer sort of a situation isn't it do you know fact check me on that but i think that we don't quite have a structure set up that there's one way to get blood plasma it's just sort of on the table now here's what i'd like to say i'd like to see a bounty that rich people would pay to find somebody who's got the right kind of antibodies and to donate them so that that rich person can actually get those antibodies if you make this a free market situation and i don't know if you can because of there may be some medical ethical reason you can't do that but if you could that would be enough to make it widespread because the rich people would overpay and that would subsidize the people who couldn't afford to pay

[15:34]

couldn't afford to pay so you'd have to have some kind of a situation where it doesn't go only to the rich but a typical situation is that the people who can pay overpay that subsidizes some people who couldn't afford to pay at all might be a free market way to make that work it could be big uh trump also stirred the water by tweeting um tweeting an interview that uh
levin did with dr harvey rich of yale and dr r-a-s-c-h is it rich rich he's a highly qualified yale kind of guy and expert and he thinks that hydroxychloroquine is in his words the most the most obviously proven effective thing of all time i'm exaggerating a little bit but in his view the the evidence is unambiguous

[16:34]

uh i don't know if that's true i'm still putting hydroxychloroquine at 30 percent chance of being a big deal and that there's some conspiracy to cover it up which is pretty big 30 chance that it's a conspiracy does not give you much confidence in the system so but i like the fact that trump hasn't given up on that and that there's there is evidence that he's right so i tweeted a uh a very smart looking article from rob henderson who's on twitter and he he talked he wrote an article about luxury beliefs which is totally worth reading it's like a really good read and so you'll see it in my twitter feed this morning and the idea is that there are some beliefs that are purely impractical for other people but you look good if you adopt that belief so an example would be rich people in favor of uh lots of immigration because if you're rich that sounds very

[17:35]

because if you're rich that sounds very big of you yeah we you know all people let them in but it's not you will pay you just get you know maybe a gardener and a chef because you have cheap labor so it's really easy to be a rich person and be in favor of immigration because the people who get you know get the shaft from that are the people who are competing for the jobs at the lower end so he talks about it as luxury beliefs and uh he does a good job of tying it into other crazy things we do for example the reason that luxury brands exist at all is so that rich people can overpay for them right it's the overpaying for something that's not really that much better that makes it a luxury brand and it's the overpaying that other people can notice they'll be like oh wait a minute you've got one of those 25 000 handbags if people can recognize it hey you've got this expensive watch or this big car

[18:37]

got this expensive watch or this big car and people know that the person who has those things is maybe not getting that much extra utility out of them except for the signaling that they have so much money that they can buy dumb ass stuff and if you look at the the black lives matter protests you've got you know a full range of people at the you know at the street level if you will the people protesting probably lower income for the most part and but the people who are a higher income also in many cases are in favor of the protests but they're not the ones who have to pay for any of this right they they don't have to worry about the schools being bad they can send their kid to a prep school or whatever and they can they have the freedom to be in favor of something that's just nothing but bad for black lives but act like they're being virtuous even though their belief system is just terrible for the people that they think they're supporting so anyway he does a better

[19:39]

supporting so anyway he does a better job in his article i'll just point you to that um one of the funniest things that's happening right now is you know you all know brian stelter on cnn and he wrote a book that many have said i'll use i'll use trump's phrase when trump wants to distance himself from an idea but still get it across he'll say many people have said that brian stilter's new book is a is a rip-off of mike cernovich's film hoax now hoaxed is one of the best things i've ever seen it's actually really really good for uh for any kind of a film documentary or or other uh is one of the most enjoyable pieces of content i've seen in years actually and of course i'm biased because i'm in it but it's not the part that that i'm in that's the good part it's just the whole the whole way it's organized and the way it finishes is just amazing but anyway so brian stelter has a book with a similar title

[20:41]

with a similar title without the ed on the end just hoax and he has somebody on i guess yesterday this uh peter parmarensive and he likened president trump's frequent use of the word hoax to an information war game and this guest said he says it's a tactic used for undermining people's faith in anything and in the long term what this does is it makes people feel helpless and passive because if they can't rely on anything out there that means you can't change anything which means you need a strong leader like trump or putin like trump or putin really those are the only two strong leaders he could think of
of the first two that came to mind were trump and putin this ridiculous ridiculous propaganda network anyway for for brian stelter to be on the hoax network the network that does almost nothing but push hoaxes all day long

[21:43]

nothing but push hoaxes all day long it's primarily it's like their main business model is hoaxing and he has the guts to bring people on and talk about how it's bad for president trump to call out the hoaxes now here's my view if there were no hoaxes and the president was calling things that were real hoaxes that'd be pretty bad wouldn't it wouldn't you agree that if the president were looking at things that were actually true and he was saying in public that these totally true things were hoaxes that could be destabilizing for a country couldn't it or it could look like politics as usual if you unless you were born yesterday but i like to think that calling out a hoax is actually better than not calling it out
out it seems to me that calling out falsehoods in the news actually is a public service

[22:44]

actually is a public service so that was hilarious uh so trump's use of the worst word of hoax is poisonous was the the title of the piece uh at least online and i'm thinking to myself it is poisonous for cnn it's only poisonous for cnn because they're the target of it all right portland is uh getting a little worse because the action in the cities the protest spilled into the suburbs now there was no violence but there will be because apparently now that the right wingers know that they can go there to punch people and they can get away with it i told you the story of the the gigantic right-wing guy who punched the
the 85-pound i don't know what he was he was smaller uh antifa person but the anti-far person

[23:46]

uh antifa person but the anti-far person punched first so i think i think the uh the right wing have realized that because antiphon has been so bad at punching that they can go down there and they can take the first punch as long as somebody's filming it because if somebody films you taking the first punch you can kind of just take them out that's the law literally it's the law if somebody punches you in the face it doesn't really matter if they're smaller than you i think you know i think if somebody who's a let's say for my example 125 pounds punches directly in the face or attempts to
to somebody who's say 200 pounds it's completely legal for that 200 pounder to take that take that person out right that's not illegal it's not like they're a professional boxer or something they're just bigger so i would not be surprised if right

[24:47]

i would not be surprised if right wingers start to see this as a sport oh somebody says it was a girl it might have been um it looked like it could have been when i looked at when i looked at the video i was like uh i can't tell the gender but i don't want to be that misgendering kind of a guy
all right so there's going to be more of that and and then when uh ken uh what's his name the oh cuccinelli when he when cuccinelli was asked about this whether trump intends to send federal officers back into the city guccinelli said this president hasn't taken any actions off the table i always tell you that the thing that makes trump in many ways better than other presidents in this particular way is that he never takes an option off the table even when you're sure he should he

[25:48]

even when you're sure he should he doesn't he just never takes an option off the table and that makes him very unpredictable which is what he wants he tells us that you know specifically it totally works so um there's that at the same time there's another wisconsin shooting of police shooting a black man in the back and now when you hear that you say please shout a black man in the back what what's your first thought oh my god there it is again the police are out of control they shot somebody in the back there's no way to justify that right right there's no way to justify somebody being shot in the back unless you watch the video in which case i think i would have shot that guy in the back as well because here's what happened the if you watch the video you'll see that the police stopped a guy he's outside of his car i didn't see what happened before that but the the person they stopped ignores

[26:51]

but the the person they stopped ignores police telling him to stop turns his back to them and walks toward his car now they follow him
him yeah they're not shooting him in the back just for walking toward his car but he opens the car and he reaches inside and he refuses to do anything the police are telling him to do now if somebody is refusing to comply to police and then they go and they reach into their car and you can't see what they're reaching for
for and and you know that it's nothing good because you know he's obviously resisting rest do you have the right to shoot him at that moment because he's created a situation in which he may or may not come up with a gun
i feel like you know it's a it's a gray area i feel like a lot of people would have shot him in that situation now the police were not in imminent danger

[27:52]

danger but let me give you this um you know hypothetical let's say there was a somebody they just stopped in the street and he's facing him and the police say put your hands up and and he puts him up at first and then he starts to reach down and he reaches in his pocket really quickly all right and then the police officer has a gun on him and he says get your get your hand out of your pocket get your hand out of your pocket and then he doesn't is the police officer allowed to shoot the person who has not shown them a weapon all he did is reach in his pocket maybe he was reaching for his wallet how do you know i mean maybe there was something he wanted to show the police officer that was relevant and he just thought it would be okay could the police officer shoot somebody who reaches in their pocket during a stop i don't know but i think so

[28:52]

so now somebody said a shot seven times yeah because i think they weren't shooting him in the head they were shooting him in the body because they weren't trying to kill him well i don't know if they were trying to kill him but they were certainly trying to stop him if they'd wanted him dead his head was right there it's not like they would have missed because he was it was literally point blank so uh but it looks you know once the shooting started i think maybe the he wasn't the only one shooting so i guess the seven bullets pretty quickly i don't think they remembered every shot they get pretty worked up in those situations i would think all right here's the most interesting story i would say the odds of this being true or not very high so put your skeptical hat on because this is the most skeptical topic you could ever have kim jong-un is rumored by a south korean diplomat have you ever heard of this before a south korean diplomat who said something about north korea and

[29:53]

who said something about north korea and then later it turned out not to be true don't think this is necessarily true but it's interesting he says that north korea korean leader kim jong-un has fallen into a coma and his sister is poised to take over now is it um is it true that kim jong-un is in a coma because if it is i want you to hark back harken back think back to the time when it was rumored by a south korean diplomat i think that kim jong-un was dead or in a coma do you remember that wasn't too long ago and what did i say i said huh they showed video later to show that kim jong-un was not only alive but he was doing great he was walking around touring some facility and what did i say when they showed that

[30:54]

and what did i say when they showed that video to prove that he was up and finally he was healthy i said i don't think that's a current video i think that might be from some time ago and so i challenged the world to show me a living kim jong-un from that day forward that wasn't on video something we could confirm was definitely really him alive and maybe there has been i may have missed it but
the bigger picture is i don't think the south korean diplomat is necessarily credible so i wouldn't i wouldn't assume that we know anything that's happening there all right um i believe that's what i wanted to talk about yeah there's a kim jong-un rumor every 30 days as somebody saying there

[31:59]

kim jong-un is on the roof so i do wonder what would be different if his sister took over because partly you think to yourself hey maybe the sister will be less of a a hard ass you know maybe she'll be more willing to work with other countries and stuff maybe totally possible you you know it could be the sister is you know the big break that makes everything possible that's totally possible the other possibility is that she has to be even more of a hard ass than her brother was because she has to prove herself you know she has to try harder to prove herself so i would worry that at least on day one if she were to take over hypothetically if she were to take over on day one i think she would probably come out hard against the united states and probably try to you know rattle a saber or two

[33:06]

there's doing the same thing with joe biden so so biden's answer on the video the where he laughed too hard that i talked about his answer was watch me just watch me and you'll and therefore you'll know that he doesn't have any cognitive decline and i'm thinking that's what we that's where we got it from watching you is why we're asking the question so it's sort of like you know i won't do a bad analogy but it's sort of like something that's a bad analogy so so i'm being called my attention has been called to hawke newsom on martha mccallum and black lives matter um i haven't seen that but apparently he made some news was he being extra radical because that seems to be where he sort of ended up i assume that he was being extra radical

[34:06]

extra radical wondering what my weight training program is any pointers well i'm certainly not a role model for weight training but i just do it regularly if you read my book have failed almost everything and still win big you will you will see my my description of using a system instead of a goal and if you use a system whatever one you develop for yourself that's your best situation oh what's the next hoax coming before the election well if you could if you could predict them they wouldn't be good so they they sort of have to be unpredictable but if you if you wanted to say all right what would be the category that would be most damaging to the president so if you were going to invent a hoax you would find something that people are already primed to believe is true and you just want to give them some red meat that it is true so they'll either go it'll either be

[35:07]

so they'll either go it'll either be fake racism fake sexism uh at least at least the allegation will be fake you know uh i think it'll be one of those
all right uh what do you think of kamal harris's uh surgery on her it looks like she had cosmetic surgery of some type have you noticed it because i guess she when she appeared on camera before it was fully healed and she looked a little a little not herself and my expert told me that that's going to look really good pretty soon and i would do i would say that uh she she did take some years off of her appearance so i would say uh it uh it did make her look younger and so i think that's good but it also made her look different which is the whole point to look different i'm not entirely sure

[36:10]

different i'm not entirely sure that it was an upgrade but what do you think probably was took a few years off her
all right yes a hundred thousand teach black person now so hog newsome says that uh every white person owes every black person eight hundred thousand dollars well with all due respect i don't know if hawke newsom is as good with accounting as he is with activism he's good with this activism stuff but this is an interesting question if you were going to calculate how much your reparation should be how would you calculate that because what would you compare it to because that's the the key right the accurate comparison would be if slavery happened versus whether it

[37:10]

if slavery happened versus whether it had not happened so you'd have to say for those people who were put into slavery and then therefore their descendants who were in the united states what would happen if that had not happened would they have been better off so you would compare to what their life would have been had there been no slavery and what their life would have been would have been life in the african continent because if there'd been no slavery that's where the descendants would be so the proper analysis which is not very popular the proper but not but not popular analysis would be how much money would you have made if you'd if you'd still been there now there's the second thing which is the pain and suffering of slavery itself but typically we don't compensate people who have long passed so if you look at the japanese internment situation i believe the reparations for that only

[38:12]

i believe the reparations for that only went to living people who had been in the the camps when in world war ii when the japanese american citizens were rounded up and tragically put in camps by the way my an old uh girlfriend of mine from years ago her brother had been in one of those camps so this this the issue of the japanese internment stuff is really close to me because i i personally knew i don't know i probably personally knew 10 people who were in those camps think about that i personally knew personally spent lots of time with them 10 people who were put in prison camps by the government of the united states for exactly zero nothing they were just japanese japanese americans they weren't even japanese they were americans um that's a that's a hell of a thing now in that case i think reparations were completely understandable but they were

[39:13]

completely understandable but they were far less than they should have been because when when the japanese citizens were put in the internment camps they often left a property behind with nobody to take care of it because it was their family home or family property and when they were in the internment camps white people just stole it they just stole it so there were people who owned property when they got out of the camps no longer owned it and they had no recourse it just wasn't theirs anymore so when they got their little checks of i don't know fifteen thousand dollars or whatever it turned out to be it wasn't really it was not really close to compensating what a lot of them lost now if you go back to slavery and reparations you see if you take the standard that you don't compensate people who are already dead like the japanese internment camp situation and you only compensate the living then the calculation is how are those people doing in the united states in terms of standards of

[40:13]

united states in terms of standards of living income wealth etc compared to what would have happened if they had just their family from long ago
ago had been in africa so that would be the proper analysis in which case and then the second thing you'd have to do is you'd have to calculate any social benefits that were let's say beyond the average you'd have to figure out what was beyond some normal amount but you probably have to figure out that and then you'd have to take the cost of i don't know would you would you have to calculate the cost of the prison system the cost of any welfare payments or any property crimes would you calculate the cost of the riots would those all be in the calculation they should be now so if you did it right and by right i mean not socially right this would be socially completely wrong but economically it would be it would be accurate to say

[41:14]

accurate to say that there's probably no no money owed if you did an actual thing now in terms of the evil of it
it the evil of slavery is uncontested right well i mean nobody's arguing that it's evil isn't evil so that part is true it's just that we don't compensate people who have passed it just doesn't work that way you couldn't really have a civilization where everybody who is already dead gets compensated for something that happened while they were alive because how far back would you go would you go back i mean you know we have a civilization where people are living on lands that were conquered three four or five times
uh somebody says a friend got 21 000 but wished his parents had lived to see it yeah not just live to see it well you know actually it wasn't even about the money exactly it was more about the acknowledgement and i think that meant a

acknowledgement and i think that meant a lot to the japanese american community
um by the way hawk newsom should not be underestimated because the fact that you were begging me to say something about him is what makes him effective meaning that he he triggered you so that you just needed me to say something about him yeah and that triggering is what makes it good so in the same way that i can consistently praise you know trump and even kaepernick and aoc i give the same props to
to ognusom he does know how to get your attention and that's that's a really big part of what he's trying to do so if he got your attention he did his job
job and that was obviously what he was trying to do now if and he's also making a big first offer uh you know if you hear that number 800

[43:16]

uh you know if you hear that number 800 000 per person and then someday it got negotiated down to 15 000 wouldn't you say to yourself 15 000 doesn't sound so bad i was worried it was gonna be a hundred thousand so making a big first you know first offer and also being provocative uh that's all good he knows how to do this none of this is an accident don't don't confuse a hawk with maybe some protester in the street who is less sophisticated and just spewing crazy stuff when hawk says something that sounds crazy he knows it that's different if it's a person on the street who's spewing crazy stuff they may not know it they may not be sophisticated enough to know that what they're asking for is unreasonable mohawk knows i mean he's he's you know trained attorney he's he's lived in the real world he knows what he's doing so in terms of capability you know don't

[44:17]

so in terms of capability you know don't underestimate him that would be a
mistake all right um that's all i got for now i'm gonna go uh go enjoy my day and keep an eye on the fires and see if i gotta go home but thanks for joining me uh i might see you on the floor tomorrow or not that's all for now
