Thinking are always gonna, be in this maximum crisis mentality that, oh by the way, never extends to their own limitations, that, with a groan tat their own in our ability to enjoy life without masks and stuff, like that, it is utterly
ridiculous. But even more ridiculous me look at how much we have actually far reaching the your speculation effort has actually worked says an if not just politicians its celebrities. We saw there said that the met gala. Now the example that this week, the areas whose aim is right about get confused Emmi,
Grammy's various awards, but you had a bunch celebrities again, hob Nobbing,
hanging out laughing having a hood
not wearing mask with the weights death. All master
This strikes me absolutely crazy in and the thing that really put me over the edge with Emma was the the La County Department of Public Health statement that they offered after the fact that was basically trying to justify the fact that the amuse were permitted to to go ahead with all
people are not wearing masks and they have the sole explanation. Everyone you know the one of the strictest mask, whereas the country is enforced in L, a county Efron us we're mask inside regards whether their backs ended, but they have the handy carve out for sound television and music productions where the and they say that
those carve out or because there are additional safety modifications that are made for quote controlled interactions, and then they gone to explain how you everybody wistfully
vaccinated every person had a negative peace.
Our task to two days before going to Mps and on and on they go in and ok, that's great! That's fine! I don't really care if people want to gather without masks indoors. I haven't cared for a long time about that. I'm not gonna say they shouldn't be doing this.
You know, regardless of whether they vaccinated, regardless of whether they ever a negative covert, has, in my opinion, if people why
to go somewhere indoors, no mask on everybody. There is is free to decide to go or not to go as they wish. That's fine with me, but if you're gonna impose this kind of
restrictive Mandy on everybody else and then create a specific carve out, because these people are famous and want to have an award show. That's absurd right people who are trying to have wedding. Maybe they could appear to the same standards, there's no carve out for them. What about kids in school or wearing masks five days a week, eight hours a day,
no carve out for them right, there's no allowance for anybody. Other then celebrities are politicians or or people who create the rule,
right or or talk about the rules on time and then act as though the rules do not apply to them. So Charlie, even on fire in this topic, go ahead laid on us.
Fighting what we ve seen is a move from a period in which we ve been informed of a few discreet instances of rule breaking by individuals.
to a period in which hypocrites defining safety in numbers and sir, you see the mat gala at which the celebrity class is fresh, faced ready for the photographers and the servant class is most up, and so you see the
These were the same dynamic obtains. Then you see the mayor of San Francisco, not only going out with friends, including black lives matter activist, I believe,
an flouting the rules that she has imposed in is charged with appalling, but giving answers that reek of entitlement and special pleading. She said we don't need the fun police to come in and micro manage and tell us what we should or should not be doing his London breed the marrow San Francisco. Who is the fund police? She said I got up.
Started dancing, because I was feeling the Spirit, and I wasn't thinking about a mosque, and I think what is galling about that is not just that she broke
our own rules, and not just that we have seen hundreds of
well at the met in the Amis breaking the rules, but that she seems to think that that's an adequate excuse and that its an excuse, it wouldn't be preferred by other people, mean that's. The core special pleading is the notion that you're different LOS Angeles.
it confirms that the Amy's was exempt from the same rules that apply to everyone else, which is a formalistic argument. It's illegal mystic argument, but it's not a scientific one. We know that the
since exempt we watched. The problem is not that it was not legally confer
that the problem was that it was exempt the rules and the rules. The science is the science. The argument is there:
And so the mayor of San Francisco says well, I wasn't thinking about my mom

Instincts are not shared by children by.
I don't see why I mean it's a remarkable shift to turn and open brazen rejection of the rose, but only for some people and, of course it's not just a problem because it implies a double standard. It's a problem because many of these people, especially the merest than France,
go on the people, who should be more fastidious in living by the rules that they have set or advocated than everyone else. There is, and always has been a little bit of room for civil disobedience, which of course means dealing with the consequent
of your choice, but you cannot have civil disobedience from a mayor. You can. I have civil disobedience from a legislator, and yet these are the
people who seem to be breaking the rose, far more cavalierly than average Americans, and I think that faith begun to is, I think, back
Whether or not people in San Francisco care Americans were really bothered by the example of London bread. I think that Americans were really bothered by the example set at the met collar. I think that Americans were really bothered by what they saw at the Amis, because many of the people who attended these events have been lecturing them have been making terror.
Youtube videos been singing saccharine, John Lennon songs, some of them are in Congress, Carolyn, Maloney, Alexandria, Cassio Quotas, and that I had of viral tweet, showing full college football Stadium, full of banks,
native people being condemned, while Hollywood Television award ceremonies are deemed to be ok because everyone there had got the vaccine. I think something change this week and I think when we look back on the trajectory of of covert regulation acquiescence, we will see these.
Stories ass, representing a turning point Jim Gary, but she's out the same way. The exit question. These apocryphal stories will be as Joyce as a breakdown represent the inflection point worth cover. Controls began to break down. Yes,
For now, the seventeen will accelerate efficacy, less ness wearing where I am, and I think that

Clearly, clearly our citizens. Where did the met? Gala? There's no need for me to wear this to farmers market then I think turns right. Yeah that'll be the beginning of the end,
To truly are you write to using the folly is right,
so I'm gonna break the unanimity. I think the people most inclined to mask at the moment are also the people who are going to be the least bad bothered by their celebrities by celebrities, not abiding by their own rules and admonitions. With that letter,

spoke and let people know they got through and ass can be more important than anything. My said, he I think what we ve been seeing since the beginning of the binding administration, is not only a continuation of a problem at the border, but really a crisis. That has got me a blunt, absolutely out of control
since Biden took over and, of course, there's at a certain point. Only so much any presidential administration can do about something like this. Given that a lot of the problems arising from these issues going on all sorts of countries that provoked people wanting to come
but what the binding misfortune has done is in fact, basically nothing to stop it while simultaneously acting as though they are doing everything in their power. There obviously are policies that can put in place to limit
this kind of thing from happening to reduce incentives for people to come here and wait at the border to get over
They immediately changed any sort of effective policy that the trumpet minute

big role in allowing us to get to the point that it has. But I have
to see anybody and they'd least of all the people who actually could do something about. What's going on to try and mitigate the problem, take responsibility for that and admit that their policies are to some extent
using this problem and they certainly aren't stir
thing it. Instead, we here in the same thing every single time it comes out from John Saki, either pretending that there's no crisis or when it's totally
impossible to even claim that or lie that bald faced sleet people sitting at their doing so
they can do or claiming that they're putting policies policies in place that they haven't put in place always just right.
They always pretending that they're doing the best they can when, in fact the opposite is the case. So Jim we have many controversy supply going on here over to border patrol agents on horseback and just seems kind of a credible to me that we ve had this huge event at the border. I mean the kind of caravan Trump used to warn about and with dissipate, and usually not even even very,
You people would make it to the the border by the time they got all a bit. This is like a legitimate care for vat is like the kind of worst nightmare, but troubles was talking about and he had to work border patrol agents the other day on horseback who

point earlier this year, where the one of the crisis on the border did get a decent amount of attention to restart the lead. I don't know about stop probably veteran March, where the southwest Land border encounters report about the: U S, customs and border protection.

I think it's worth spelling out what Jim
implying now, which is that the media waited to cover this in earnest until it had a way of doing so that didn't open it up the charges of being anti immigrant or of criticising Joe Biden. This is the perfect frame, because this

passing on to argue with another person on the cable shows which was deliberate, and it shows you how effective activists are every single story written yesterday about this included the line, but activists say Vega, Azure controversy,
And, of course, this is a problem, because what we are seeing is a real crisis and it is not entirely, but mostly a crisis of the administrations making that tends to be covered with euphemisms and flattening techniques that make it quite difficult to work out. What's going on one of the things in the limited coverage we have had before yesterday, that is annoyed me. Is this frequent reference to asylum, as some people are claiming asylum most of the people who are claiming asylum there
are doing so because I ve been told by various international organisations that that's how you get it especially Haitians who cannot you
what is happening in Haiti as their cause for asylum, because they're not coming from Haiti, which is not connected by land to the United States, had learned to Texas. Most of the people were seen who are regionally from Haiti did not flee from Haiti three weeks ago or three days ago, because the president was assassinated. They ve been in South America quite a long time
and they now think that this is the moment they should try to go into the United States, because the signals we talked about on the last episode have been sent along those lines.
That's not how asylum works. I might cheap pro asylum and probably
Usually per asylum for conservatives, and I would get rid of some of our immigration catch reason increase asylum.
can't have an asylum system that allows people to pick and choose which country they go to. The whole point of asylum is to save people from violence from persecution from genocide. This is a problem in Britain to I'm very familiar with this. Britain, obviously is an island. Britain is separated from France by water.
And yet you would get people coming up from North Africa and from the Middle EAST and they would make it all the way across it gets the edge of the channel at Calais,
and they would say I need to get over to the euro.
The king them so that I can claim asylum for your safe, now, you're frauds, and to get into fraud. She went through Germany.
A similar thing has happened. Here I dare say, the United States is a better place to live the most of South America, but there is a big difference between
an asylum claim generated by an earthquake, Haiti, Haiti, the experience to political instability and
a migration choice made, because you think you might get away with it. So, let's put these people's choice enter its context. They already got out of Haiti and they were living
South America, they dont, have an asylum claim in the United States. Now there are, of course, some patience you do as there are some people from other countries that do, and I think we should have a fairly generous policy toward those people. But what I think it's missed is that when the issue becomes as conflated and manipulated as this one has been, we actually heard the real asylum seekers, because Americans turn off- and I say while there are- there are full of it. It's a scam: what's not a scam
a lot of people, in fact its life and death for a lot of people. There are terrible, terrible places in the world, but what we are seeing on the southern border is mostly not that
What we are seeing is people who have their own self interested heart official, responding to clear incentives, and
bring this full circle. I am worried that the injection into this debate of a falsehood that the border patrol is full of closet white supremacist to just want one to whip brown people, it's going to make it more difficult for the by the ministration to do what it needs to do, which is say, don't come here. If you come here, you'll be,
forty eight and to have a low tolerance for those who are not seeking asylum, not in dire straits, and that's going to in turn invite more people to come, and this is going to get worse and worse,

most people, I think we're looking at a seven. I think they were already on shaky ground. I think, especially on top of old, at the other incompetence that we've seen this is a die. I think Elena stuff.
So I would say this incident in itself: spry I got three or four four or for I'm prodded pop up to four, because I think.
the images are really intolerable that others phocis streaming across by hundreds and thousands day after day that that's really going to be the most noble image of this this border crisis and will exact price.

had I think we are witnessing, is an administration trying to reckon with the fact that it it got into office, at least in part, probably in large part, based on the fact that the president ran for office, promising that he, rather than his opponent, was the solution to the covered pandemic. Great. He tried as much as possible to keep the focus on covert throughout the campaign. He claimed that much of what had happened was because Trump had done various things wrong. In that
he himself, he Biden would have done it differently. We wouldn't be in this situation. Had he been president, and we would no longer be an at once he was president nuts may be helpful if you, your your exporting people's unhappiness with what happened with covered trying to make it seem as though
trump could have done more than he did or different things than he did and enter use that anger people's anger to get yourself and office great, all well and good, but then you're in office. Having promised people that you are the solution and if covered goes on, you ve essentially told people hold it against me right and so again, I'm I'm not gonna sit here and say Joe binds responsible for the situation, we're dealing with
covered, but many of his policies. I disagree with obviously, and you certainly should be held to account for having promised to do something that he hasn't done. He can't have it both. What it's ready can't say. Please elect me.
I'm going to fix everything and then also you'll get credit for everything. That's gone well, even the parts that were set up and put in motion by the Trump administration, and also don't blame me for anything bad. That happens. I think what we ve seen with the boosters is about administration trying to get out ahead of this kind of law.
Down the pandemic for any aspect of it as much as possible, even when it goes again store. You know comes out ahead of the FDA and actual science that they claim they care so much about so try this just yet another example that, if you want
clear button down explanation of something that's totally appropriate and it is in creating an embarrassed
meant immediately or down the road you dont want Joe Biden being the one out there delivering the message. That's one of the Tec Arise and the others Joe Biden, seems to be routinely premature and his announcement. I'm not talking here about the self contradiction on Afghanistan, eyes false
predictions on that question, I'm talking about his going out in public and making statements that are not ready to be made. One of them is apparently that data
government will be issuing a vaccine mandate, at least for companies of a certain size. How long ago was that two weeks it still hasn't been issued from what I hear hasn't been finished. Yet why? Why take the head.
it's possible it won't be written, and the same is true unless there's nothing wrong with this process per se. First start a lot of these questions:
or their medical in nature are really a question of tradeoffs, which is why the FDA said: yeah we'll do business for older people and at risk people, but not for younger people. Yet
But Joe Biden knew that this hung in the balance. In fact, Joe Biden belongs to a party that idolizes agencies such as the FDA, that once more
the crafts involved in politics, but you're up to me. I would leave most of these questions to Congress, but we don't believe in two agencies
and the agency evaluated the evidence and came to a preliminary conclusion and contradicted the president and that's a big political problem for Joe Biden, Joe Biden, sad mark my words marked the day he said eight months. That's the amount of time we're doing boosters beginning it done now is now I dont think Joe Biden should override the FDA here, but I do think you should have waited for it away and Anthony doesnt actually speaks to something that job
and has habitually made mistakes on an energy setting deadlines. He loves deadlines
He loves the symbolism of dates July. Fourth, that was when covert was gonna, be over. You didn't say, mission accomplished, but he got quite close to it. Not speech in, of course, sent out a hit us. He said eight months and then the boosters before FDA was ready. He can't get past the on paper, scheduling part of the presidency and and its hurting him here in this, wasn't something that happened to him as the press
drink generally deterred earlier. This was something that he did had the FDA. Come to the conclusion that at the moment, it didn't make sense to do vistas. Joe Biden would not have been implicated. He would have said all right, that's their guidance, we'll go with it, but because he.
Having trapped himself in his own rhetoric has to be out there playing traffic cop. It looks as if he has been doubt that word again yet another blow this presidency in,
ass, his foe, his annex, couldn't you outside of this fumble here. We all will eventually beginning blister shot, see yes or no. I would guess Prob
There were at least here a push for people to get them. I don't know how many people were yet whether or do a good job convincing people that they need to, but I suspect that the prevailing wisdom will be that we ought to try. I could go on, people will get
the men. I think a lot of people should get them. My worry here is the wire you would expect from a libertarian. Who is nevertheless
pro vaccine, and that is that we
end up in a net
Ending mandate, that is, that, rather than restrictions being placed upon people yet to receive two shots of the vaccine, it will be on people
and got their booster and that this will become an endless imposition. So I am pro vaccine. I would be open to getting a boost to myself, but I am not entirely comfortable with where this is headed, especially given that there is disagreement over whether it's a good idea on out, and I would hope that the boosters would be treated more like flew shots are every
yeah Donna, some sort of passport to live your life Americans, the average American will be getting a booster, but not until two thousand and twenty two. I think. Yes, we are all eventually be getting boosters. Let me throw in a bonus, ask a question: here: we are considering in our top it's whether discuss reconciliation and its prospects. We talked about a lot and it seems
We usually end up saying roughly the same thing. No matter what's going on is also speculative, but let's do it exit question style to you. First Charlie Cook, you have
Kristen Christian Cinema saying that if Nancy Blowsy breaks or agreement to bring a stand alone vote on the Parson infrastructure bill in about a week, I guess it is. She is out and will not support reconciliation. You have some moderates,
in the house saying the same thing and danger here for policies progressive, don't what the about other by Parson infrastructure a deal,
its disaggregated from the reconciliation dogs. They think they think it reduces their lever, so the possibility that would vote against it and bring it down
and this, of course just racial up. The prospect of this whole comp
hated high wire act crashing to the ground so with the latest events last couple days. Are you more optimistic that both bills will crash and burn less optimistic or the same?
I dont think that both girls are going to crash and burned, but I am more optimistic that they will, partly because what I think we have seen is moderates and democratic sentences who want to win reelection, say Mega Hassan, neither mentioned or cinema is up realise that actually they're the ones who have the leverage. I think for a long time, partly because the press echo did the idea was it. The progressives have the leverage, but they don't. The progressive argument is well. You ve got this bill that you want and that's got five hundred
fifty billion dollars of new spending in hand is one trillion dollar package in total, and if you don't spend another three and a half trillion on top, then you can't have that and the progressive. So there are very clever they come up with a way of strong arming their colleagues incident,
what they wanted and what we ve seen in the last few days, not just from mansion and sent him up from, say, Maggie Hassan and presumably other democratic sentences, maybe
Hasta as well as a bunch of house Democrats who call themselves moderates and a bunch of house Republicans who call themselves moderates
is the realisation that wait. That's that's not really a threat, because we would rather have nothing. Then we would spend four trillion dollars, especially given approval rating the state of the economy, the risk of inflation,
supply chain issues and so on. So I am more optimistic that both bills will go down. That I was. I do think that there's going to be
sort of accommodation, because it's not in the interests of the Democratic Party for Biden to fail on both, but the chances are. They gonna spend four trillion dollars in the next six months. I think our approaching zero. Now then yeah, I'm more optimistic
both crash and burn? I remembered putting like a forty percent transaction. I I think last time you asked a question about this, that I would say it's a bit higher now too, and I grew try, I think, progressives act as though they have nothing to lose, but I think they have more loose and moderates. If this falls apart, they want to spend money and of course they can train. Pretend like they won't spent,
money if they can't spend as much as they want, but I don't think that's true in the same way that its true that moderates won't vote for it. If it's too high to burden more optimistic, less safe,
were optimistic. Mention floating the idea of waiting until next year on a massive spreading girls if they feel that ideation right, that is, that has been saying
out loud, makes it a possibility that it was not wasn't a real possibility just a few weeks ago. So I think the idea I get something gets pass before the midterms. Maybe someone to bipartisan obstructs the up, but also, I think this argument and how gets resolve it made up a result. A mere twenty
everyone says you Jim. I was going to mention that, but I M actually not certified to evaluate, mentions private comments, only the ones that he makes in public, and so I didn't want to be struck off the register of mention whispers.
On the same goal. Always thought they'd be Mama's one. It would look like they are on the verge total failure. This is one of these moments. Maybe I took a little bit more optimistic, but today, as we promised cited several times in this part, cast evolving, says problem. A piece of legislation is that the path
It passes indistinguishable from the path of it going down, so we don't know whether this is gonna be like Clinton CARE,
Actually you the horrid care at which actually crashed and burn after being dragged out.
It is hard to believe that actually let it die because it was gonna, be a disaster in the terms, but they did,
or Obamacare was dragged on and on, and they exactly the political price. And it look like you know a couple times: it was going to go down and actually passed. It ended a. I still think they they passed both both of these things.
but it's it's gonna be a high wire act and then final I'd ask one more. If you guys will forgive me extra special bonus question
we have three major sports got out at the moment and the ISIS America Pentothal football have college football we have made.
baseball which allows its the best tribute? Nothing gives me joy, but watch measures on Sundays Backpacker than what was best, the NFL culpable,
or another I like baseball, the best for sure and I'll say both the Yankees and other Dame aren't just enraging to me most of the time, but the heart of the matter is which sport is the best. I think baseball's is always most one towards even when your team striving you crazy joy. I love baseball, but I think at the moment are more into the official football I Ceti Alpha is so incredibly throwing
it's just a hugely entertaining game. I love baseball, always love watching baseball budgets, thinkers hearted to top the NFL, haven't gone back and actually looked at the highlights. The chiefs
Evans game from Sunday night. But every picture I see of it that that I come across online is Lamar Jackson's like flipping upside down
today, the enzyme, this incredible dual between these two incredibly talented quarterbacks. I think it's a the NFL for what it's worth, let's hit a few other,
things before we go Jim guarantee. What about it so
can't say this. The lighter item are fun, but I picked up Scott Godly its new book, uncontrolled, spread like over. Ninety trust, us
how we can defeat the next pandemic. You know what I'm not working about pandemic cover delightful, lighten up
Probably more is probably more lifting them.
Yet it is yes. I did something writer ensure that obviously the Afghanistan covering as another grim topic on supporting it read for me for taking up a corner posed a segment in which got leave goes through the first communications between Robert Redfield of the? U S cdc at his chinese counterpart and
We, Cotonou chunks of their story, but got leave, lays out step by step and don't just leave you. Your blood boiled use the unbelievably furious,
glaringly obvious. It was that they were going with dangerous, contagious virus and the chinese government
just didn't want to deal with it. Just didn't want to admit it, and that is a big reason why we,
where we are and who have not done with it. But so far it's brilliant everybody's got get this book, the Chinese speaking as football even find the gaiters
As usual, while the gaiters played Alabama this weekend- and I thought that they were gonna get blown out and then they didn't get plainer and in fact they lost in the most heartbreaking, where all which was by one point they add she asked was it was two points, but they lost because of a mist.
Point, and then they went for to try and make up the gap and they didn't succeed in doing that and the clock run up, but it was a pretty good performance overall, especially against Alabama gaiters, made all of their mistakes in the first quarter. They considered twenty one points in the first quarter, but then, after that, they I'll play it Alabama and all three quarters and they could have won the game, and so, although I suppose offers us a little bit heartbroken, I was much less than I thought I was gonna, be an a hell of a lot less than I thought I was gonna, be at the end of the first quarter when it looks as if it was gonna be an embarrassing blur.
the then the war with a squirrel grinds on, unfortunately, deserts very hopeful? Last week, when I talked about this and podcast at by the subsequent Tuesday, I would have very good news report
I do have some good news to report and it's that we have managed to fully evict the squirrel from the attic and from his resting spot, which was in the gutter outside the whole that he had been using against attic, which is conveniently directly over my head in my bedroom
So now he has been alternating between running around in our backyard and sitting on the roof, making these horrible screaming noises, but the interests- I don't have people
Listening no there's but squirrels make a whole host of terror. Wonder is, is that I have never heard before Sweden can terrorizing the neighbourhood and ass with that
but at least he's not trying to chew his way into the house and other say the weak and between getting from where we were to? This point was one of the most just gruelling experiences of my life. Do everything you can to keep squirrels out of your house's once they get in day? Will
I'll leave. You alone. I never knew you know. Squirrels are my favorite teacher about never had anything against them that you know the kind of chatter at you that they'd see you and coaching on their their character that had no idea what
asked, his sons of guns there. Nor did I learned the hard way that you have to really watch out for them in this. One in particular were pretty sure a superhuman effort, while obviously superhuman use a squirrel, but now he just nothing, nothing will destroy him, nothing faces them. He and he has pulled off some pretty remarkable stance. I think we ve got the most mutated of the bat
sir I've been reading a little bit about Leonardo, dementia and one of my pet peace. I really think the Mona LISA is is overrated it, sir. It's a great portrait, no doubt but sir. It's
It's it's a celebrity. So its leverage are usually overrated. Celebrity panting. There there were, you can barely see it, cause everyone's crowding in to get a glimpse of this. This famous panting. I just don't think all that thing.
It deserves, and dementia, Michelangelo or famously rivals and dementia there's no doubt his genius, but Michelangelo this far away. In my estimation, the better hardest promoted the greatest artist ever David Sculpture is just one this extraordinary artifacts of our civilization, and then you put on top of that the ceiling the Sistine chapel. Are you kidding me? It's just
the legal service that lets go to her letters picks Jim Gary. What's your pic where a lot of good strong competitors, but I think I gotta give it to Charlie for corner postal.
I should just yesterday everything my going mass was this difference in San Francisco mayor, because I was feeling the Spirit,
a lot of times. It is eager to you just gonna,
want to roll your eyes but Charlie. Just then
the spleen just the way it should be done. Let me talk but other spot guest at the sometimes some
Being that it seems so ridiculous, it's easy just throw your eyes and let it go by Charlie did not so well done. Truly there. What's! Your pic, I pick is a peace we have on the homepage day. It's written by a medical doctor called the proportion case is based on that science, and this is obviously a point that parliament has been making for a long time, but the destructor goes through some of the points that were raised, in particular in light of the Supreme Court case. That's upcoming Andrews how much our scientific knowledge or medical knowledge has changed since Roby weight in a way that should affect our laws are like this week's
The Tuesday newsletter from Kevin Williamson, which is titled the presidency as foreign policy, fear tat. I learned a lot of my disdain for the executive branch and my criticisms of the White House ass a century a superstitious force in american life from cabin. This is a great example of it. Obviously, the president has a key role to play in foreign policy within our constitutional order, but his cabin points out a lot of what the president actually does is driven by opinion polling and a need to sate certain national sentiments. I recommend not only
this news, the Tuesday but subscribing in general. So my pig is peace by Zack Evans, one of our news, reporters and Zack and others. We gotta handful to still really good job. Keeping our sight is constantly updated with the latest news items out there and doing so original reporting to, and this piece is, total infinite source confirms authenticity.
Mean Hunter Biden, emails, which has just yet more more more more confirmation, this time from mainstream source, politico playbook, that the laptop story was always for real and it was not a product of russian DIS info, as everyone was insisting a late last year, because it was convenient to Joe Biden and his campaign. So that's it for us even listening to a national. You part casting a rebirth cast retransmission countless game without the express written permission of national magazine is strictly pro. Habited is part gas imposed by the incomparable. Sarah. Surely he makes a sound better than we deserve thanks Charlie, thank you than thank you. Jim thanks.
The trouser into babbled dot com and thanks, especially dog you for listening, really utters Monsieur next time.
