All right why haven't you talked about career millionaire politicians who have sold us out to China? I guess the implication being that they're on the payroll or something. You know I don't know too much about that situation except that it's obvious that China is buying influence everywhere. So I don't know what you do about that because whoever has the most money is going to be buying influence. And don't you think the United States buys a lot of influence? Maybe not as aggressively as China.

The bureau says I bought a special blanket for swaddle time but wife is making me repaint the whole house and I'm dead tired at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time already. Question should I listen to my body, my wife or you? Well you should listen to me. Tell your wife be raised. Mrs. Be raised this is this is message for you. You should let your husband swaddle in his newly purchased swaddle blanket because this is important. That house will still need painting later.

Calming lessons. Would you like some lessons on relaxing? Well I've told you how to relax and I took my long walk today and feeling good.

What do you think of the Canadian diagnosis kits? I don't know that story.

What will happen to the travel industry? It will be dead for a while but I think that you know people like to travel. I don't think that's going to change. As soon as they get money again I think it'll come back. It'll just it's going to be a while.

Will the NFL play? I'll bet not. If I had to predict I'd say no NFL season. That's my guess.

Do you think the new normal looks like? I think May 1st will just be extending whatever we were doing before that. I don't think May 1st will be a real change your life day.

Will we fight for gasoline like Mad Max? Well the good news is I think we got plenty of gasoline. It could be super cheap. The bad news is that the oil industry might be going out of business.

As simulations very useful to self-hypnotize via narrative fallacy. I don't really know what that means.

When is the John McAfee interview? You know I was gonna interview John McAfee and he agreed which would be an amazing interview but he needs to use secure communications so he can't just call in here and he can't call in on FaceTime. He's got to use Skype and I didn't know how to do a split screen with Skype and I just couldn't get the technology to work.

So in those cases it's just a stream of income that stops versus havin
