en the word anymore. And Disney just said that's what we're going to make our content. Just like the people. Now how many of you were offended when you heard they were going to make their content just like the public? Probably some of you am I right? Just because nobody did the math and when you first hear it you're like whoa what are they doing that seems like too high. And I think there's a kno…

it because for years, four years, one of the top news hits was a hit piece because it was a big publication and it was recent so it's there at the top. Now it's gone away and I wonder if it ever deserved to be there because it went away. I don't know. There weren't that many new things that there were like major news pieces to replace it but it went away. So these are the things that I wonder about.

I understand that the book by Robert F. Kennedy, The Real Anthony Fauci, he was also subject to the media colluding to basically ignore that book. I think he had no book reviews but sold a million books. How do you sell a million books and not get a book review from one of the major publications? It's collusion of some kind.

All right so I would recommend to you Alex Epstein's book. It's coming out in May I guess called The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels. And like I said I haven't read it but obviously people have seen advance copies. There's definitely an effort to make sure that whatever is in that book is not seen as credible. So you should ask yourself why would they try to kill a book before it even comes out? And the best reason to do it is that it's true. That's the best reason. So I'm thinking that there's some good stuff in there that somebody really wants to die.

All right that ladies and gentlemen is just about everything I want to say and I think you'll agree that this has been a peak experience for most of you. For some of you the very best thing that will happen today. For some of you others it will just be the beginning of an amazing day. No I cannot sign your book that you send to me. Do you know it's embarrassing when people ask me to fill out a form and I tell them I can't. I'm disabled. I tell you that my drawing hand has a focal dystonia which means there's literally nothing wrong with my hand and I'm still disabled because the only thing I can't do is write with the pen. It's the only thing I can't do. I mean I could juggle. I've played the drums. I could play any instrument. The hand is perfect. There's nothing wrong with it physically. There's a little mental glitch that happened because I overused it and then the brain said you can't do that anymore and that won't let me. So I can't. My hand won't work if I put a pen in it and put it to paper. It just freezes. So I draw left-handed but I've never taken the time to learn to write left-handed quickly enough that I could fill in a form. I mean if I took forever I could. It's called focal dystonia. It's related to the voice problem I had. They often travel in pairs but thankfully they don't. Thankfully they usually don't go in more than pairs. So I'll probably, I'm probably two and done in all likelihood.

All right let me see what's going on here and I will talk to you soon. Thank you very much everybody. Have a good day.
