yware so that he's actually gonna have to take it out and run it through a shredder or something.

So just think about that. Think about China is so unreliable as a business partner you can't even visit. Think about the fact you can't even visit the country unless you have either no technology or you get some kind of a VPN or something. I think if you have a VPN you're in good shape.

All right, Andrew Yang's making news with a little public dust-up with a comedian whose last name is Gillis who apparently is going to be a new member of Saturday Night Live starting the season. And of course the moment he was announced to get the job somebody dug into his past and found some racially offensive things he said allegedly in the service of humor. That's the debatable part. And so what he said, what Gillis said was it looked like some kind of a podcast-y situation. He was talking with another person and he used the Asian n-word. It starts with a C.

So here's the summary. Gillis says something that's offensive to Asian-Americans and anybody who has the Asian background and Yang pushes back but softly. There's a call for Gillis to lose his job and then Yang comes in and says now maybe we'd benefit from being more forgiving rather than punitive. I love that. Honestly that in my mind the front-runner on the Democra
