n. But 52% said no, electric cars are not practical for most drivers. And I would guess that that 52% are not totally up to date because I don't know if you have an electric car but there are charging stations and there is a convenience factor of not going to a regular gas station. I mean if you charge it at home you're probably doing all the driving you need without a charging station. And so I…

If you believe the conspiracy theory, I'll call it a conspiracy theory because Wikipedia does, if you follow the New World Order idea, what are they doing? Is it good for the elites or is it good for the public and they're just trying to do us a favor? Somebody says they're trying to consolidate power. Now that would be consolidate power meaning that there would be organizations that could control things in multiple countries, right? I don't see that happening.

When Biden used the phrase New World Order you should know in context, this is also according to Wikipedia, during the 20th century political figures such as Woodrow Wilson and Winston Churchill used the term New World Order to refer to a new period of history characterized by a dramatic change and often follows a war and stuff. And I think Biden was just using it generically. I think Biden's age especially connects him to a time when New World Order was a political thing to say that didn't mean what it means now. It wasn't a conspiracy theory.
All right. How about this one? The Fourth Turning. How many of you are believer

s in, I guess Steve Bannon's a big promoter of this. There's a book by that name. How many believe there's an 80-year-old natural cycle in the world in which different generations act differently depending on what situation they're born into and that the 80-year series is repeated and predictable? How many buy that that is telling you something useful and predictable? The predictable part is the i…
