Bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump on everybody. I'm glad you found me this morning, while what one we have today once again, our news is full of nothing but happy things. Well, that's not one hundred percent. True, but
mostly news- is good news and in order to enjoy it in order to enjoy it to its fullest. What do you need, I think,
You need a cover of glass at anchor. Jealousies, die the canteen jirga, flask of vessel, of any kind fully with your favorite liquid. I think you know I, like Coffee
and now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine.
Day the thing that makes everything better the simultaneous it go.
I'm hearing from more and more people the following comment and I want to see if any of you have had this experience
apparently there are a lot of people who were actually afraid of what would happen to the world under President Trump and number of people have message me and quite a bit over the last few years to say that they were even state a panic until they heard me talking about what was going on and then
oh come. Somebody here just said they listen to me before they go to sleep. So apparently there's something about listening to me. Talk about the world that makes people less anxious now
I'm gonna give you a little preview of something coming up, I don't think I'm gonna. Do it today and not quite ready, but have developed a brain hack that at least one person is reported completely eliminated anxiety? You could imagine that imagine somebody having anxiety, everyday
not just about politics but more of a generalised one, and that is something I said they re framed the world they just eliminated it. I heard that yesterday
now. I think I know why. In other words, the refrain was very specifically designed to accomplish a brain hack. I'm surprised at work, but I'm going to test that with any of you, but that's coming up. There won't be today.
So look for that our livestock, my what's happening on this question of worn and Sanderson, who said what, in their private conversation,
Did you say that a woman can win the presidency already literally just say it would be an extra challenge warrants, as he said, woman care when he says he didn't so author James Pony was EC tweeted in this,
very much agrees with what I said. He said a plausible scenario is they meet both want to run so that we know it's true.
And then James says he's like quote trumpets this, meaning meaning Bernie, would say trumpets, sexist and who use this against a woman.
She meaning Warren infers reasonably
tell me a woman care when so she recalls the disagreement. He insists. He didn't literally say a woman can win. Now, that's pretty much exactly what I think is the most likely explanation. What happened, which is that he was ordered to
to discourage her saying she had an extra challenge that you wouldn't have, but it was me
word may be clear: the channel, so you didn't have to compete against. Somebody was basically using his policies.
And then she interpreted that that a woman can't win turning it into an absolute, which is the most common thing you ve ever seen, and every human interaction somebody all say. Well, this is difficult
And the other person will say: why are you saying it's impossible and the first person says that we are so here's the good part, Maggie Hebron and you all know Maggie even.
She she jumped in with a comment on Twitter and she said what the two James
as the automatic assumption there. Her version is wrong, just curious, which is actually a fun question, because in his construction it assumes
The sheep that warrant is the one who went away with the wrong impression, but what's interesting is the way she worded it. So Maggie says: why is the automatic assumption that her version is wrong? Where have you seen something like that before an automatic assumption sounds a little like impulse?
maybe a little recklessness. Why is it that when Democrats
look at anybody who supports the president. They believe
at their brains, are not functioning like ordinary brains and that their James
Who is a well known author, obviously smart guy?
Why would it be on this one topic that instead of thinking through
why he saw what he thought his assumption was automatic
there's nothing. He said there was suggest that he came to an automatic assumption and other people jumped into the comments I jumped into, and I asked Maggie
Why assume its automatic? Why, wouldn't you assume that about anybody? Why would you soon
anybody made an impulsive decision. Why
Would you soon let anybody made an automatic decision? There's no evidence of that.
I only know people who think about things and then make decisions. I've never heard of this automatic compulsive thing. Why is it that Democrats think that
Republicans, don't have normal functioning brains, their work
everybody else does you think a staff and then make a decision who makes decisions without the thinking park? It's not real.
You think I mean we do make unconscious decisions. Your subconscious were influenced by our biases and all that
there's, never automatic. So this prompted one of my tweets
In which I was wondering who so this is why I said thanks to the miracle of cognitive dissonance:
Democrats can only explain what they see in politics by
leaving. The trump has been quoted lucky for several decades in row. You'd have to believe that if you believe that is not the skill, you'd have to believe that for several decades
it's less safe, starting from the time he recover from bankruptcy. Now recovering from bankruptcy is not ease
you probably old more than just about anybody in the world, owed anybody and somehow recovered its. If you start from that point, say asked: let's just start measuring from that point, because you ve got along a few decades right during those few decades. Yet hugely successful television show ran for president successfully with no experience and has a whole string of successes as president you'd have to kind of believe that decades of consistent braking system, we had some losses from university. Didn't go well, but in this portfolio is very successful.
So you'd have to assume that he was lucky for decades and that he is operating on impulsiveness alone, that there's no thinking it's just weird criminal impulsiveness. They ended up working perfectly for decades in a row and then they, how do you explain your environment? That way now? Compare that to the all.
Explanation, I'm famous for offering the altar and the exploitation of trump, and it goes like this. He has unique skills. That's it! That's all exploration, there's, there's a person who has a unique skill set the lesson do things that other people canter won't do and that will explain why he's been successful for decades and has reached literally the top of the success pile in the world. What is more successful than becoming president of the United States without any practice being a politician, I don't think there's anything more so.
That sort of it you're a billionaire you're married to a super bottle year just became the president had states. Was it all lock? How do you keep that going after you seem signing trade deals? You seem to feeling ices nominating judges like crazy the economies,
going well around seems to be tamed at the moment. North Korea seems to like President Trump, if they're not exactly pointing their weapons in our direction.
It is not the way they were in the past. How do you do you conceive of
the world that it was all luck. Anything
One of those theories is bad. You're, crazy. The other one is not speaking of mild curse words I tweeted at Youtube just using them.
Public twitter account and mention that I get demonetized everyday for no good reason Youtube to my surprise, tweeted back, and so they look into it know who they are.
This is, however, is operating their social media twitter site for Youtube, so that doesn't mean that they have the power to look into it, but
whoever was so they look into it. Answers
is it perhaps is because my content falls into the category of sensitive stuff that advertisers are a little wary of
Now I am willing to accept the explanation. It's possible that there's nothing going on except I talk about the news and they have decided that the news is a sensitive category that advertisers, maybe less inclined to be associated with, could be, but it's easy to demonstrate that.
So I tweeted back and said essentially on paraphrasing that I accept that as a reasonable explanation was going on with no other explanation under this condition.
The everybody else who is talking about the headlines and ass, I thought
Well, I literally look at.
See and am looking Fox NEWS. I look at the other headlines and I just talk about the headlines. I put my opinion on it, but it's not like I'm dangerous, there's, nothing dangerous that I'm doing other than a few curse words now and then- and I dont see people being demonetized for a few purse. Words now and then so that's my challenge to the Youtube Twitter account is: can you can you confirm or deny that everybody who talks about the headlines is demonetized, but
We also have to ask you this question: why is it always reversed, as in always reversed? Now, when I say always, I dont really been a hundred percent a few of them.
Have not been reversed, but as is rare, but the one
So we're now reversed work,
any different than the ones that were so, they look more like mistakes than some kind of a decision, so
Youtube as now in public
getting me on the question of whether our being treated unfairly compared to other people who have similar talking about the headlines
so far, they have not responded. As of the last time I checked, but that doesn't mean there will respond so will be will be watching met. Somebody says: why does you to burn ads on my channel? Well after a day they do get re monetize. So we appeal to manually- and we say this doesn't look like a fair decision to democratize, but it takes a day or so to re, monetize and then adds will run now. Some people have reported that I haven't checked for myself. I don't think I can check on my account and after.
Not log in. I guess, because I I pay so I don't see adds, but I fight. If I log in, I would see what some people are reporting that the ads are running from the first day. So what did you do this for me? I'm sure that today I'll be demonetized, as always,.
This year for the ads run from the first few hours, because if you see a newish post on Youtube in the ads are running, I'm not getting paid for that. As far as I know, I could be wrong. Maybe they put it in some Heaven escrow until they until they work out the democratization. Questions are also covers. Other stuff, I tweet
That kind of looking forward to- and maybe this is just me, but I'm hoping that we have another impeachment after this one- fails because stocks do really good under impeachment, so I'm making a lot of money in the supply chain. Let me check these stocks today. Well looks like stocks are up again today.
Pretty nicely and the longer that the and even the coin is a lot of stuff is up, so
if we can get, maybe one more of these impeachment? Maybe two more this
I know they take a long time, but if we get this one done quickly, I think we will have time to get maybe two more in just for economic reasons, because apparently is just great for the stock market. But that's not. The only thing is good for- and this is the fourth part, as
pundits have pointed out. President tromp is counter programming, the impeachment by trying to get a lot of accomplishments,
and doing a lot of things that will take your attention away from the impeachment theatre to his accomplishments.
Meaning that he's had one of the best months, a president who has ever had. Is it my imagination that the past thirty days, President Trump as accomplish more then.
More than what every president ever in the history of presidents. I mean I'm no historian, but I'd be real surprised if anybody's ever ran a better thirty days of presidency. I mean this is pretty good stuff to major trade deals took out, took out the top terrorist and the real
the economy is screaming stock market. Is that a new high I mean seriously? Has any present
have a better thirty days than this one. So the weird thing about it- and I will put this thought in your hand- much is made of the president's personnel his care
and some of their complaints. You can say to yourself, even if your big supporter, you can save yourself, I can see that
I guess you I don't like that. It doesn't bother me personally, but I can see why you don't like that. So there definitely parts of the president's personality which reasonable people can disagree with some say no big deal is just joking. Some say it defends. You you're all entitled european, but here's one thing I think we all agree on in terms of his personality. He is one
heritage of more file. If he's a contest and there's gonna be a winner in the loser, you can watch his game elevate. Does anybody disagree with that by the way? Is it not true that the EU set it directly? He thrives in tough competition. You just a perfect
we'd better, when the pressures on is this president performing better because of impeachment risk of impeachment impeachment the threat of impeachment. All that do you think that that makes the president
perform better than he might have. Otherwise, I think maybe I'm not sure it would be hard to measure it cause. You don't have that you don't have the euro the test case measured against, so you can ever be sure, but
If you have a choice of putting pressure on tromp, meaning impeachment to cause him to compete at its highest level- or let's say that lets say the alternative- let's say the Democrats decided they liked Trump tomorrow, and everybody says you know
see how goes looks like he's doing pretty well how well with the president, perform if the Democrats just started agree with him, so you know you don't ok,.
Yeah just this more what you do and will work we'll talk about it will debate you when we disagree, of course, will vote against you if we need to, but merely you don't. Ok he's gone.
I dont know if he would do as well, because there's something about this is focusing his competitive impulse.
Since and again I am not in his brains. I can't read his mind, we're speculating here, pure speculation, but I think we're seeing him for
Warm amazingly well he's probably putting a lot of energy into it and he's going to focus on accomplishments and this kind of fun to watch so stock market goes up term stays
we are severely entertained. He gets all these accomplishments because he's focusing to try to counter programme. What are we lose him? Didn't we find complete
the accidentally did we not find the very plus best placed to be. I mean nobody planned, but somehow we drifted into the best place. To be
speaking of entertaining
When we find the quote by Mitch,
did you see much more camel scope
find here in my notes, Mitch Mcconnell said quote.
Nothing so seriousness and Sobriety Mitch, Mcconnell equipped like
handing out souvenirs the second part of his sentence. He should left out.
As though this were a happy bill, citing instead of the grievous process in our constitution? If you, if Mitchell, just stopped half way through their sentence, it would have been one of the funniest quotes ever
sure just said nothing says, seriousness and sobriety like candy, YO souvenirs, you should just stop. It was so close to being one for the ages. Like the
scornful thing you you ve seen earlier, but then he added the area the guild, the Lily Lily Bit, as though there was a happy bills, I use of the gravest process in their constitution. This
in part, was assumed so
Don't ruin your perfect first part of the sentence with that deal, cumbersome second part, but missed
on the entertainment scale, a plus
is worthy over the phone
I don't know anybody use watching impeachment because they don't know out what's gonna end when you want.
The movie titanic, which I raised is the worst moving of all time by the way, worst movie of all time. Titanic
But I would acknowledge that a lot of people like a different opinion than me when you went to titanic
you knew how it ended right. You knew renew Titanic
probably them women the end, but you still. What does you like the entertainment until then? So the impatient
says who feels like that we're all being entertained, but doesn't matter we know in advance, so there's no mystery speaking of how it ends rights, private.
I had some interesting thoughts which lead to
You said one of the shows,
said, sometimes the best defences the so what difference you just say well,
what, if everything you say is true.
We're not, even though they asked questions about his true. What if it's all true? What, if everything the Democrats who are saying is true, let's hope, because none of its unimpeachable- and I thought that spring a defence,
Defence would be might be. True might not be true, but you can assume a soldier.
Not even need any witnesses we'll just take your word for it s, vote no! Nothing! There.
No rights also suggested that it was that he liked the witness reciprocity idea. This is TED Cruises idea that if you
you get one with this. We get one wins you get too. We get to that sort of thing and that's one way to go sure, but isn't that complained that the Republicans didn't get their witnesses during the house, because the house was in charge and the Republicans complaint we didn't get there
all of our witnesses. Wouldn't it be fair enough unless suggestiveness but wouldn't be fair for Mitch, become to say, hey, I've got an idea. Republicans will have witnesses and Democrats what he could do that right. Couldn't you just say will willingly
I have the witnesses in the Senate that we wanted to have in the house, but we didn't get so we'll just be completing their process. Now, there's no way you'll do that, but it's funny to think he could. I've got a better suggestion.
Here's a suggestion that again they won't do, but it would be really funny and that's why I like it and the suggestion goes,
this to say we're gonna bringin witnesses, but when
do them in a certain order, because we
I want to bring an infinite witnesses and you keep adding home and we just keep going with witnesses. So
going to do them in a rational order. Here's the rational order. The entire case against trump rests on wait, for it rests
this question was a legitimate United States interest in asking about Biden and Britain, so we're gonna bring in witnesses to all. We ask that question will bring in some Democrats will bring in some Republicans and will only ask that question. Was this alleged
in a minute interest of the United States, to look into it now. We already know, because even the Democrats top lawyer said yeah that's worthwhile. He into.
There, you, then you bring in a Republican. I think I mistakenly called Turley and duration, which Republicans when I was talking about this in the city there, both Democrats even better bring internally bringing Dershowitz three Democrat lawyers experts in the constitution and say what do you think did this look like a legitimate thing for the United States too,
Look into all three Democrats will say: yes, I'm pretty sure once they say yes, you're done you dont.
We need to look into any details of how the president did it, because.
Nobody is arguing that the president has to do.
Things the way you want him to do it? That's not! That's not part of the debate. A river everybody accepts that once the presidents in office, the president, can do everything this legal as long as this is a reasonable, reasonable attempt to get stuff down.
So if our image Mccall I'd, say, let's find out the important question first, we will take witnesses for just that question. If that question says. If the answer to that is that the witnesses say you know it's a mixed bag, we
think that was worth looking into well, then, you can open up to the second question, which is the details of what the president was doing was for his own personal use, etc. But if you can determine that the president's thought or the or any reasonable observer thinks that looking into the Biden, Britain, a thing is legitimate for the United States. You're done you dont need witnesses to talk about the stuff that doesn't matter if it was good for the United States
You're done this is something that the Republicans of garden wrong consistently, since the start, that's it now. What is the argument that this is worth that the United States has an interest and looking into it, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me.
Biden, is still leaving in the polls to be the next president of the United States and there's a very strong suggestion that
Ukraine or somebody over there.
Might know a little bit too much about war Hunter was doing and it might reflect on the present
is there anyone could any reasonable observer? Think it's not worth now.
If there's only problem there, I mean on the surface, is certainly looks like something you can look into.
Thus, we are go.
If it turns out that they need to dig into the details. We ve got this interesting thing that live partners said that loose associate of
was in Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani, who is talking in saying stuff
Rachel Matthau into Anderson Cooper. Now, as John Paul,
pointed out in an opinion, peace in bright bark that
Love said something interesting, Parnasse, something interesting to Anderson Cooper and he said that
The reason that there was a push for Ukraine to announce an investigation was because in according to left Parnasse, no one trusted Ukraine to conduct an investigation. No one trusted Ukraine to do an investigation. If you
If you look at the implication of that, it means that the ordinary way you and approached this nobody believed would work.
The ordinary way would be hey. Have.
F B, I talk to you you're, just as people put together an investigation look into it and here the witness.
It's coming forward. He was part of all this and he says no one,
leave that would work.
So now you have the answer, or at least the most credible explanation.
Of why it was not on a different way, because the different way, nobody believed, would work. So what way did they take
If you, if you guess somebody a little bit pregnant, I like to use that that analogy, there's a good chance that they will continue to be pregnant. Let's not talk about abortion because it ruins. By analogy
so in business. That's it that's a common, a common phrase. We got somebody a little bit pregnant
I am dealing with now,
vendor in my life, who shall remain nameless, who got me a little bit pregnant, in other words or something
HU, I gave a large amount of money to do a job, and now it turns out
A job will not be done for months when it should have been done in one month now. What can I do turns out that in the specific situation in does matter, no, it doesn't have anything to do with went up it's it's in my my personal life. It turns out.
That it would be really impractical for me to fire them at this point because they ve done half the work. So I have no choice
I just got wait a few months, because I just don't have an option: that's economical and sensible. So this,
Vendor got me a little bit pregnant meaning now
they ve started now that I've paid, I care really back out now they only they only a kind of got to do with it. They need.
Now I don't want to dwell on that. The point is that it would be a
frankly reasonable thing to do to get. You are going to try to get Ukraine to announce it because the announcement gives you a little bit of pregnancy, another
if they have announced it. They're gonna have to explain later whether or not doing anything about it, because that you now sit. So I put them in a position.
Where they were liars, the government that is of Ukraine if they don't do something like what
as the underlings who might not be inspired to do anything for the United States would see their their boss? The president saying we're gonna, do this investigation and it would be reasonable to expect that then they would say. I guess that's what we're doing.
So it seems to me that love burners, as just
explained away. The whole problem explained away. Nor problem really says one interpretation of it.
Now, that's that's an opinion. We don't know what was in those his mind but
you're looking for a reason that they would ask for a public statement instead of focusing on the investigation itself? Now we have it, they don't think the investigation was even possible,
But if they get him a little bit pregnant now, this is the part that speculation that what they were thinking we're
they completely happy to walk away with just an announcement. I don't think so.
If you were in Rudy shoes. Would you say to yourself if I get the announcement undone, I don't need anything else now. You would, of course, what the announcement plus the investigation, of course,
Apparently there were eleven. I think eleven of our troops were actually injured, release of being checked out for concussions, based on the iranian missile DEC on the base.
And we're finally led out now and of course, the big question be. Why are we
I knew this out now who is lying to us, but it looks like
well, then, the abundance of coercion and a judgment call meaning
none of these people appeared to be injured in the.
In the physical way that you can see
the early reports were nobody injured, but
apparently when you're in the vicinity of these major missile bomb, a text, it's pretty common to get concussions from the just the blast force, and so there's an abundance of caution. Some people they're having checked out to see if they have so we don't know how bad it is.
Now here's the thing, I think we're all better off that we didn't know their Sunday, one somebody says so he lied. No, that's not the reporting, so the reporting is not that the president, or even or even the commanders, inner in our forces and right
there's no reporting that they knew on day, one that these people would need follow up care. It was a judgment, call that they probably just shake it off or you didn't know if they shake it offers
wait and see. So is a little bit of a grey area about when you can actually know somebody was injured. If you can't tell can't tell but look at em, but concussions are pre, pretty nasty things. A concussion is a serious serious pro
sometimes depends on the severity. If we'd known this Sunday one would our public just demand a military attack, a kind of glad we didn't know this. This is one of those weird cases where we're probably just better off we didn't know. I mean I. I have a lot of concern about these troops can discuss concussions or a big deal,
but I'm glad we didn't know, because I think we would have the right path. Speaking ran come did array,
appearance in which he did the the big prayer that they do periodically and speech and referred to the president and his supporters as in the government anyway, as american clowns, anyone else
say that that them pretending to support the uranian nation, but they want to stick a poison dagger into its back
which raises an interesting question. What is the translation from Farsi to clown? Does cloud mean the same thing in IRAN? Does it does a clown?
Do the radio's have clowns? It is lovers or such a thing as a clown
am I not mean the same thing because he said that there are clowns, but there would be using
poison dagger to stab in the back. That's one scary clown.
It also seems a little bit of overkill. Do you need a poison dagger? If you stabbing somebody in the heart, I say no,
stab and are probably gets done, but a poison dagger there,
there's some kind of clown, so the
really neither venomous stagger. I don't know if I hired a clown and he showed up with a venomous dagger. I would fire that cloud. So I think I think clown mean something different
But it is interesting that the Supreme leader had to call out the fact that America least its government and some of his
people. We keep saying that we're standing with the iranian people, that's what the President said in a tweet
they said they lie if you're still.
With the iranian people. It is only to stab them and the heart with your venomous, staggers up thinking. I think trumped wins on this, because if the Supreme Leader is trying to explain why we keep acting friendly to their pocket,
nation, that's the conversation we want them to have to explain, because
You want the Iranians say what do you mean the United States as it stands with the population of around? Did he actually say that I haven't heard that I don't have the internet, but now I've heard it because a supreme leader had to defend it. I think the Supreme Leader just fell for the trick that Democrats have been calling for for three years, which is they're talking about the topic. The trump wants them to talk about. What topic would trump most want? The ayatollah, too, have to talk about with his own public. The fact that the United States says unambiguously we side with a population of around. Let's talk about that some more
we must defend our that's, not true, and he had to come up with this weird venomous dagger clown. To argue that is not true. He didn't even have recently had an analogy. That's it how about giving us a reason, not an analogy arisen!
What else would got going on here? So if you didn't hear Michael Shell Hamburger test fighting from Congress at least one party Congress and use the phrase green nuclear deal now, congratulations
to March neither maybe watching us right now for coming up with green nuclear deal as a great way to package the idea of nuclear being the best way to address climate change.
Is now made his way to Congress. So it's now headline something that Congress a scene framed it in their minds a little bit differently and.
Congratulations to all of you, because I know that I try to boost both of these. These people as much as possible, Michael shown, Berger and marks,
later, but I can't do that alone. Of course, without all of you who follow me on Twitter
So you ve done the same and look what you did. Look what you did not
telling you for a long time that are, our republic has been replaced by some kind of a social media model where
the government can really do was so
the media won't allow them to do if there's too much of a response and social media, so we're no longer republic where they just go off and make decisions, they really have to watch social media
respond, and here you a perfect example: people with good ideas,
bubble those good ideas up until some people with Blue Jack marks colluding me. Lots of other people too, were also part of this, but people with the blue check Mark said her look, there's some good ideas from people who do not have boot jack works. I will boost those ideas. I boost them
mother other people boost them, and next thing you know, there's a conversation in front of Congress, perfect example of what the government has evolved into forgot. I think
its positive. Let me talk
that question of better
on climate change. Lot of people have said two things one: why are the insurance companies acting as though climate change is not a risk here that overtime right? That the people who think climate change is not a big problem say if it were a big problem? Would it not be reflected in our insurance rights for people with
Property on the coast turns out. If you do a little googling on this question, the insurance regulators,
companies are really really concerned about this. So as one of the biggest issues in the insurance business does that there might be bankruptcy level risk from climate change, so we're we're definitely at the point where, for example, apparently cold
Parents are having a tough time getting insurance, so more companies are getting out of the business of ensuring coal companies somehow because of climate risk. I don't know if that means that the car companies are likely to be to be
sued measure exactly why they're getting other business, but they are if they keep getting another business. You can have a coal black, because if he can't get insurance here have a business leased out of business of those scale. So it could be that the insurance companies will put coal and business just by
not ensuring, but here's the point I wanted to get you if you're wondering how can you make money by being so right in your opinion that climate change is not a risk? Here's a way to better. There are index slums called spiders slight difference, but let's call it index fun.
Of insurance companies. You can find a basket of insurance companies that are collected for you in a in a fund called the spider
Here's one example: this is: this is not a financial recommendation. I'm only talking about the concept of investing, I'm not telling you. You should invest in this
called, can be W insurances, low fee insurance fund. If you look at the the growth of that fund, it span pretty much consistently up since two thousand nine two thousand nine took adept like five dollars,
of the thirty five, so this group of insurance companies is seven times higher in the stock price than it was at the two thousand nine dip. If you think climate change is not an issue, that would be a good way to back, because in theory
You should be able to get these insurance companies relatively cheap because it will be so many other people who think they're gonna go out of business because of because of climate change. So it turns out that there is a pretty clean bet you could make.
Which is that insurance companies are already underpriced because they don't have that real risk of climate change,
if you believe the other way. Well, I suppose you could you can bet that is going down.
So there's actually market for that, and at the moment it looks like the market is bedding that insurance companies will be fine, but what it looks like were based on just the chatter you see, when you will you, Google ensure
its companies and climate change. It works like that's right on the edge of maybe changing, so I think it's possible that that insurance companies and this index organ drop like a rock in the next five years, so you could way for the dep again, I'm not giving you financial advice. I'm talking about the concept of betting on climate change are not tell you should do it. I'm just saying it's do

For the last few years I've been trying to upgrade the quality of this. What your watch try to get a bigger and bigger attention, etc. I have spent maybe thirty or forty thousand dollars trying to do it so far.
So far for two years and thirty or forty thousand dollars of effort. Nothing I've done has been as good as

then do it now put another nine thousand dollars into it. This week I bought a box from tell a scream accompany their would. Allow me to in theory, live stream to a number of different platforms. At the same time, I have tried obese software. I've tried wire gas software, adjust the software version. This is the hardware version that has wire cast built in if you do podcasting

and then the other day I bought a microphone screen. It's a it's a cushion to scream this around your microphone to shield her from noise coming from the back side. So I buy this
scream to put on my desk and I'm looking at. Nothing will obviously in other things by this big, and I get it it's like away. The speck is a manager psyche by managers, because I dont check the sizes of stuff.
Don't don't be like me all right, I told you, I would teach you a method for solving your anxiety, I'm going to do that as soon as I've got a little more crisp Christmas on that, and I will do that at a different time.
