an, they'd find a way to get paid anyway. People are too afraid of not paying bills. I don't think they'd want to be the ones who not every person is going to want to fight that battle, if you know what I mean.

Rand Paul has a suggestion for a Republican looking healthcare plan. He said, what if you could join Costco? He said this on a recent interview. What if you could join Costco? Has 44 million members. Wow. 44 million members in Costco in one country. Is that just America? I don't know. 44 million seems like a lot.

And let's say the 44 million bought a group health care plan like Toyota or General Motors. They would be the largest collective entity in the country and they would drive prices down by sheer might. Do you believe that?

Now that makes sense to me from an economic perspective that if you have more competition, prices should go down. If you had more transparency, prices should go down. If you've got one negotiator for a large group of people, price should go down. So it makes sense, but I'm a little bit skeptical that it could be that easy.

Because here's what I see. The minute you did this, let's say tomorrow you could snap your fingers and suddenly Costco was offering healthcare. Do you think that Costco alone could massively lower their prices and that the rest of the industry would be unheard? I don't know. It feels to me like the current system, this will be hard to express, but it seems to me that the current terrible health care system is so entrenched that if you were to change any large part of it, even with the best intentions and even with the best philosophies and the best economic theories that you're going to create some unintended problems and I don't know what they would be, but does it not feel to you that it couldn't possibly be as easy as just changing the number of people who are in each organization? How in the world could that be enough?

I mean, I can see that it would make some difference, but we're talking about the Obamacare subsidies doubling your health care. There's nothing in that neighborhood. It's not as if a Costco health care plan would lower your healthcare by 50%. I don't think that's going to happen. And if there were this big bunch of money that is just essentially sitting there waiting to be picked up, why wouldn't somebody have picked that up already?

See, I feel like the industry is very corrupt and inefficient, but I don't think there's a whole bunch of money being made in healthcare that you could just cut your expenses in half and everybody would still get paid. I feel like people wouldn't get paid if you made that big of a difference in the pricing. So I'm no expert in this domain and nobody else is either, which I think is why nothing ever happens because you would have to know so much to make a good decision on any of this stuff.

All right, so let's talk about Ukraine. So I've been watching with some amusement that the US plan for peace with Ukraine started in as 28 items and then we haven't seen any of the items but then the reporting was no it's not 28 it might be 19 or 20 and then I say to myself 19 or 20 but I keep waiting for that 19 or 20 to collapse to maybe three because if you could get the three most important things, whatever you thought they were, if you could get the three most important things, you could probably work out the rest. But it doesn't work the other way. It doesn't work that if you get these 17 least important things that that will make it easy to do the three most important things. It doesn't work both ways.

So here's my question. Can you identify three things that Ukraine could say yes to that maybe Russia would say yes to and then that would be enough because it's the biggest three that that would be enough to force the others down their throats. Maybe they want it to be forced down the throats.

All right. So here are the three that I think it's starting to settle on. So the things they want are we definitely want an election in Ukraine. But Zelensky says yes, we'll definitely get a, you better catch up with the news. Did something happen in the news today? So somebody's yelling at me in all caps. I need to catch up with the news. Is there a big headline story happ
