A&G On Demand Thursday June 18 Hour 4

Do we want to talk about the boogaloo movement here? Or what is the boogaloo movement? I've heard you say that, I've seen it somewhere. Uh So this is the new uh extreme far right kind of crew. Um. Uh most, this is the next most likely group to show up at a at a pizza joint thinking there's a pedophile ring in the basement out their internet organized right wing extremes. Right wing extremist called allegedly that Air Force guy who

killed a couple of cops is part of that. Yes, and so that's the incident that he's referring to in the Oakland protest. There was one of these guys who was using that as an opportunity to quote unquote try to start a race war, depending on which article you read of the and scarboroughs of the belief that Facebook needs to find a way to monitor those and keep

them off the site, right. And then you got NBC mobilizing activist groups to defund conservative websites on Google, and Google saying you have to police your content even as they say we don't have to police our content, and big tech just scary. I saw this piece and Wired

dot com caught my eye. Facebook groups are destroying America, and uh it talks about how these uh, it's actually pretty interesting, um about how you have these private Facebook groups are closed groups, you know, not everybody can see what's posted in the rest of it, and families have them or or whatever. But they talk about how bad actors can infiltrate them and start spreading misinformation trolls and Russian bot farms and the rest of it. Um. But

then you get into this. Groups continue to be used for political disinformation. The Obama Gate conspiracy theory is yet to be defined in clear terms, even by its own adherence. Uh, that's not right. And yet our analysis of face groups groups show that the false narrative that the Obama administration illegally spied against people associated with the Trump campaign is being being fueled and nurtured there. Ah, So that's false, even though the stated is fact, even though the current

Attorney General says that is what happened. Well, the Inspector General, who is completely nonpartisan, says that there were many, many, uh illegal activities and getting the FISA warrant, And the head of the FBI says, if I knew now what I knew that, I never would assigned it. But they just stated as fact and wired that. Um, the false narrative, blah blah blah. It's it's a conspiracy theory, blah blah blah.

It's unbelievable. So but is there some is there a growing belief that Facebook is like the home of right wing stuff and Twitter is the left wing stuff. I'm not on Facebook. I'm on Twitter every day, but I'm never on Facebook, So I don't really know much about the left thinks thinks there's too many quote unquote Nazis on Twitter too, right, Like a lot of these social media sites hit the sweet spat of both sides. Think

they're doing horribly. Um, but if you were to pull uh particularly you know, probably thirty five and unders rank the political leanings of these social media sites. Facebook would probably be the far right one. Interesting are the most right? Not far It's certainly an older platform, yes, by many years. Your average Facebook or is much older than your average instagrammer or whatever, snap, twitch, blitch. How much of Facebook blump?

How much is Facebook is political at this point? Or is it still dominated by a lot of people who just much too much? Is the just have pages that are about their their their grandkids and their lives in their new puppy and that sort of stuff. I don't know. But the issue is, should uh, the evil Mark Zuckerberg, who is indeed the Antichrist Zuckerberg? Should he be awaying

in and finding they hate stuff and getting rid of it. Well, at the very at least adjust your algorithms so that doesn't become a prominent thing on my news feed just because it's getting a lot of engagement. Well, that's a tough one. That's a tough one because it is one of the they're they're not technically a publisher, but as one of the largest publishing outfits in the world, they allow things to be seen that you had had to

work hard to find otherwise. So they're algorithms pushed them toward people who might be open to the idea or at least um you know, of whatever the view is, or at least you know curious enough to whatever um, but would have never you'd never been able to find it before, you wouldn't even know it existed. I'm not on Facebook. I didn't know what boogaloo was, but so if I were on A. McCartney's nickname the early seventies, I think today's his birthday, it is, have your birthday, Paul?

How old is? I'm not gonna say, Sir Paul, because number one, the idea of a night is idiotic, and number two, I'm not British, but he's seventy eight, Michael the same ages Joe Biden, only four year old years older than our current president. So he seems to be he's his mental faculties about him, Sir Paul. Yeah, yeah, he does. He does. Seems sharp as it can be. Fantastic, charming fella. Anyway that banned the Beatles. Seriously, Oh I do, um,

I do? I would like it if these these these platforms that have so much power to get information out could figure out a way to not push stuff that otherwise you wouldn't be able to come across. It's really doing them a favor. It's really doing like your most um. He isn't the word extreme because we've used the word extreme twenty times already in this conversation. A fringe their their fringe ideas that are getting put in a prominent spot and then therefore just having a chance to grow.

And that I don't think that does anybody any good. Yeah, one of the great downsides of the Internet is some of the sickest among us. Who couldn't you know? It's very much like a virus and and I realized the term viral is is overused. But if you think, you know, I really like having sex with children, oh boy, you're not going to be able to spread that virus because you can't find anybody else who who's willing to take

it on. And you keep it to yourself. You realize you're sick, You realize I gotta keep this under wraps. I can't do it. You bring it up at the bar, you get beat upright exactly. Yeah, as opposed to with the Internet, you can find a hundred thousand people who say, heck, yeah, me too. You're right, that's not weird at all. Good for you. Oh, it's so ugly. It reinforces such such terrible things. I mean obviously, and we've plowed this turf before, plowed this ground. But how do I how do I

put this exactly? Well, it's just and there are some things that should not catch there are some things that should not be seen, They should not be discussed. Um. Oh man, I saw a great ad the other day. I wish we could get it going in the US. It was a uh it was done in New Zealand and it was naked. Couple shows up at this lady's front door, super ripped dude, hot hot gal. There ass nude okay. Their bits are are covered up by like the railing of the porch. It's cleverly done, you know. Um.

And they say hello, we're here to see Jimmy. And Mom's like what. And they said, well, Jimmy watches us having sex online and we wanted to meet him and talk to him, and and and mom is you know aghast and and and then the two alleged porn actors actually say some really cool stuff about oh yeah, I want to mention to him that. Look, I never asked for consent. It just happens at all. And that's not

how real life works. And I do things, you know in these movies nobody ever does, and and nobody wants and and the woman's like, oh yeah, that sort of thing. There's no real woman who wants that. And we just want to let Jimmy know that. And and then mom says, oh, I think maybe it's time to have a talk with Jimmy about the difference between what he sees online and real life relationships. I thought that was good. Yeah, God, dang it. We're just we're just entering that world with

the kids getting better at exploring on the internet. They don't have necessarily the the you know, the sex drive thing happening yet, but just the exploring the internet that we're we're in it. We're at a state with a ten year old and a year old. It's more of an accidentally coming across something that seeking it out mostly. But um, it's just and I know every generation has said,

you know, today's harder to raise kids. And I'm sure they've been saying that since and there'll be you know, when I was a kid, they didn't have the wheel you didn't have to worry about some kid going out there getting run over by a wheel because we map the wheel. But the Internet is just uh an opportunity

and everybody knows this. I'm not saying anything new here, but the an opportunity that there wasn't even anything close to that prior to the Internet, for an opportunity for kids to get, you know, into whether it's conversing with the some of the human beings you were just talking about some of the worst human beings on Earth my

kids can talk to today would have been impossible. And those people are anxious to talk to your kids and are clever it figuring out how to get to him and um, and it wasn't even possible a few years back. That's just it's absolutely amazing. I'm surprised we haven't come up with a better way to to to weed that out, to have that stuff harder to get to. That it's that it's still as wide open as it is on the Internet. Is it a technical difficulty, is it a

First Amendment difficulty? Is it all wrapped together? I still don't understand why all pornography can't be on a on a you know, dot x x x website and it's everybody can go there who wants to. But I can put a simple filter on my computer it says, don't go to those websites and understand why we can't do that. Who's gonna enforce that? When the guy puts it on dot com out of you know, alley in Bangkok or

what have you. There's just there's no way to filter that out coming into our country with our with our internet providers. I don't think so. I mean, if you find it, but the bad guys are always a step ahead of the good guys. I mean, I I name my hard core sicko porn site nice Puffies dot com. But if there was a if there was enough, um, there's no restrictions on the porn on dot x X, what would x x X. What would be the advantage that all your audience that you want for your porn

is over there? What would be the advantage to go into the other Because they if there's a monetary system based on clicks, they don't care how old the person is. By by putting it in a place that isn't gated off by the dot x x X, they are able to farm more clicks and However, the economic Okay, that makes sense to me because there would be enough parents that wouldn't you know, they wouldn't allow it into their home. Uh, And then there'd be a billion clicks out there for

high school boys for instance. Okay, maybe a click farmer is the compromise for me, because I kind of like the modern world and I kind of like a more old timey, small town existence. So I want to become a farmer, but I don't know how to grow crops. And maybe I could be a click farmer just a wall of a hundred iPhones. Yeah, I'd have the coveralls and the straw and a tractor and everything. And in a hundred iPhones or a thousand iPhones, this is a

growing on this farm. This is a growing movement. By the way, there are a lot of Congress people looking into this and trying to figure it out, and I would love for them to succeed in that. I would. I haven't heard the solution. I actually wonder if it doesn't have to do with like people who are in Congress, who are around a certain age, who kids are entering that age of the Internet, who have all of a

sudden decide what can I do about this. I think that might be white's bubbling upright, Yeah, I think so. I think you're absolutely right. Just a quick screed. All the children listening to the show. I'm gonna address the boys, and I'm gonna talk about girls because I'm a straight guy. Did you know that about me? Hey? Real women are great, and real relationships are great. They're kind of complicated and sometimes painful. But the whole internet thing sick the kids.

It's not normal. It's really not normal. I can't even imagine coming to that first started before you had a real adult relationship. I can't either. You started there, right, that was your introduction to what sex is, right, I can't even imagine how that changes the way things look to you. You grow up thinking every baseball game includes a fist fight, and then you join your first baseball team, You're gonna have a perverse view of what baseball is.

And yeah, it's it's troubling, and I got no solution for you. There's got to be a solution. We'll talk to your kids. Just has to be talked to your kids about porn. About better one than that, though, There has to be even a better one about your libertary I hate you. I'll never listen to your show again. Saved. So Mark Stein, he's a funny guy, was on Tucker Carlson last night and they were talking about how they're

in Chaz in Seattle. They're gonna have some sort of games or sports in there, and you're mocking like the Chas Olympics chads having their own Olympics and that sort of thing, and they got off on this Mitt Romney, who, as as you know, is I believe the first US ambassador to the Chopp is Sony people. He really fought hard for that job, and as you know, he ran the Winter Olympics. He's actually got managed to import a couple of the top Winter Olympic sports into the Chop

Summer Games. For example, we got the two man luge. Uh, there's a bit of a difference. The guy on the bottom is one of the CHOP residents, but the guy on top is actually a statue of Christopher Columbus that they've toppled and so find the preliminary rounds. I believe it's the Richmond Chris Richmond, Virginia Christopher Columbus statue that

is in the lead. The Boston Christopher Columbus statue is close behind, but there's some technical dispute with the judges because that guy had his head decapitated, and it's not clear whether a headless Christopher Columbus is actually eligible for the two man luge. Telso made the joke about their sporting of it. There was a controversy when one of their uh, one of them tested and there was urine

in their drug stream. Oh that's good, that's good. And something tells me chopperstan will have fellas identifying as women women and all the women's events because they won't dare

you know, crackdown on that. So there was an attempt apparently, I don't know how serious it was in Portland overnight late last night and this morning to try to get one of these going chopp a takeover, and they got it shut down really fast, which is a good idea because once it gets going and it grows, then you end up with real political problems trying to figure out how to navigate those waters. But they let it get started in Seattle and it continues and this could be

one of those things that's there for months. Right Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm trying how the businesses are going to deal with that if it, I don't know if some businesses closed and some businesses who are more friendly stay there, are they are they getting enough patrons in the day? Are enough regular people able to uncomfortable enough to walk through chas to go to these various stores. You can't drive

down the streets anymore? No, No, I wonder, although there's so little will in Seattle to do anything with bums and junkies and ne'er duels. You know, what we left out is that the autonomous zone they set up in Portland was right outside the mayor's apartment. That makes a difference, and so the coppers moved in quickly tore down. That makes a difference. Yeah, because I was kind of surprised that Portlandia, who's their very Twitter account has a rainbow

police badge. Honestly, um, I was surprised that they took such decisive action. Now I get it. So if they set up not in front of the mayor, they might still be there, could be the Armstrong and Getty shows. We're not going to shut things down to people don't want it. The politicians don't want it, but the public wouldn't support it. But that doesn't mean that we can't take targeted measures in places where it is spreading. So in Texas, for example, um of all the hospitalizations are

between the age of twenty and twenty nine. UM. In some parts of Texas around Austin, more than half of the infections are under the age of thirty. The governor there has said, anythings, bars are congregant setting where a lot of the spread is taking place among young people. So you might take some targeted actions in the places where there are outbreaks against those establishments where you might say, well you have to go back to fifty percent occupancy

of twenty. Maybe you close some establishments on a temporary basis. Those are targeted mitigation steps. We have to be willing to consider those kinds of targeted steps if we want to prevent these outbreaks from happening. Interesting. Interesting Dr Gottlieb saying, uh, they're not gonna shut down divisions. People don't want it, They wouldn't do it. That's interesting because we so will legally did it at the beginning, and now he's just

saying people wouldn't do it. Well, we were sold a rationale for extreme clothes down strategies that no longer seems to old water. So yeah, we're willing to do something which is probably not that again, So I find myself exhausted by the news flow. Tell me about it. And you know, we live it because it's what we do for a living. But my my wife barely pays attention to the news at all, and she said she was exhausted by the news flow. And polls show everybody's exhausted

by the news flow. And it's part of the whole part of it is, Um, you know what the differences between a good high school band and a bad high school band? I remember this from being in high school bands. Uh is dynamics. Uh, you're bad high school band. Everything is played at the same volume all the time. You don't, you don't, get quiet, and then get loud, and then get quiet, and then somewhere in the middle of just everything is the same volume, beginning to end. And that's

the way the news is now. Everything comes at you at the same volume, as if everything is the most important thing happening in your life. And rather than everything being elevated too important, it is going the other direction, at least in my mind, and I think in the nation's mind. Um, everything is being is going down to

just everything. You can't break through because everything is the same volume all the time, right right, Well, you know just about the cliche if everything is the biggest thing, nothing is the biggest thing. Yeah, and don't I don't know what fixes that. I don't know if I'll be able to find it quickly enough, because this it makes me insane too, especially because I actually care about a lot of this stuff. Um, I think a lot of

talking heads are just putting it on. In fact, we know some talk show hosts who, uh, you're a conservative talk show host, and then they got hired to a liberal place. Now that they're they're liberal talk show host their gutless, soul less mind one in particular, i'd like to name both picturing the same, but that would put me at his level, and I don't want to be at his level because I wouldn't like the view from

down there. I'm trying to find in Matt Taiebee's fabulous piece that we talked about, the American press is destroying himself, he and his usual fashion, as he's rather an eloquent fellow. I was talking about, um, the very, the very phenomenon we are that everything is always the most important thing. Ever, and how that's you know, another one of the real sins of modern so called journalism. I agree with them.

It's been quite hilarious seeing people who I guess we've only read that piece by Matt Taiebee coming at him on Twitter for being some sort of right mouthpiece. Yeah, go go go go back through the years. Um so does a lot of this get fixed? Democracy, media, all that sort of stuff with time and a reaction to the things. And it's just slower than we would like. That's what I'm hoping that. It's just the reaction will be there. It'll get fixed. It's just gonna take longer

than I would like. In that to a large extent, I think so people get tired of the same volume of all the news, we start tuning out. Media outlets are desperate to try to figure out how to get people's attention, and they rediscover and it might take ten years, is that the way you can get and keeps people attention is by having some varying levels of intensity, as opposed to it always intense. It just takes a long time to get there. I don't see it go in

that direction. It's going in the direction of more and more targeted ideological bubble yelling. But we'll all go crazy if we're if we're all check out or check out, if we're all being if our brains are being assaulted with stuff that reinforce this is a scary time. It got even scarier while you were asleep last night. Things are even worse than they were yesterday. If if our brains are assaulted with that every single day, we'll go nuts.

Will all be a bunch of anxiety cases we are we are well, and or people will tune out, which will open the door for the most brutal and cunning to take control of the country and twisted to their their ends, which is probably giving people anxiety that sentence, and I apologize for that. But if we completely check out of the political process, or it gets dumbed down even more, I don't know where it heads. I don't

know where it goes, probably not toward anything good. So the shift leader at a Taco Bell has lost their job. I still have not eating a Taco Bell, but I understand it's just fantastic authentic Mexican foods. Oh it is too carefully prepared gourmet Mexican fair, authentic. Just you feel like you're in Mexico. Do you want to know how l Chopo with his billions eight go to a Taco Bell.

So the shift leader at this Taco bell in Ohio, well, shift leader for eight years, lost his job Monday after refusing to take off a Black Lives Matter face cover he wore to work. He wore the cover because the surgical masks provided to employees are inadequate when it's warm, He says. Anyway, uh, and who were we about to hear him argue with I believe this is his direct supervisor, is like the manager. The manager told me he had to take it off skin and refused, walked out of

the restaurant. Blah blah blah. Let's see how this sounds. Do you just hiring me because I got a Black Lives Matter on? You just told me I had to go home because I gotta do it off. I'm not. I'm not because I'm standing off with what what's right? I'm not taking it off, Tammy said, with whatever matters, she did not. She said it had to be pray. You can't bring politics into the bro I'm not bringing politics in. This is what I'm standing for like, how

does this considered politics? How is it not? Denzel? I'm not taking it off. Okay, well then there's nothing I can do for I'm just doing my job. You don't get it. You don't either, I don't know you don't because you did, this wouldn't be a problem. It's not that a problem with me. It's a company thing. She's right, he's wrong in calling her a Karen is racist and idiotic. So Taco Bell is on the defensive though they've released

a statement, um trying and blah blah blah. You know the things all these people say, and uh, some of social media is and great Taco Bell, and you know how these things work. I know how these things. But the main reason I want to play this is this is coming to wherever you work. It just is so I probably out to have a plan in place. That's a pretty good idea. Because somebody's gonna wear Black Lives

Matter something or other. You're gonna say our policy is no politics, and they're gonna say, how is this politics? They're gonna you're gonna say it like she did, how is it not? But and then you will have employees with Blue Lives Matter and white lives matter, and you will have employees with mega masks or hats or whatever, and and god knows what else. I don't know. But if he's still alive, that's the T shirt I wear.

Do we have our Biden if he's still alive clips, Holy cow, If Grandpa, if I gave him a birthday present he said it like that, I think, Oh my golly, he's really weakened anyway on the Black Lives Matter thing. It doesn't matter if you can you can present these other political causes that you would not allow in the workplace for obvious reasons. And uh, it doesn't make any difference if if the you know, if the wind is blowing towards everything Black Lives matter is okay, You're You're

done as a company. You can't. You gotta you gotta allow that, or at least you'll be battered. Now, if somebody actually like tries to turn this into a court case, you know, maybe that'll get worked out in the courts at some point, Like if a lawyer takes up for this guy for for for losing his job for wearing the Black Lives Matter thing. Um, see how court rules on that. I guess is a company allowed to say

no politics, no political anything in the workplace. Yes, absolutely, as long as it's uniform, as long as they apply it even handedly to all people and all political beliefs. That is the one perfectly defensible position. Has that already been established? Than you just wear what where, what you want? Yeah, because it will damage your business, Yeah, that would your business would be never because you're gonna end up somebody the black Lives matter. Then somebody else is gonna wear Uh,

what's what's an opposite of black Lives matter? All in all Lives Matter? Somebody else wears an all Lives Matter T shirt? Well, there they're If they're not actually fistfighting in the in the cubicles, then then you can fire them for fistfighting. But what if they do? Okay, but if they don't fist fight and they just hate each other, and I'm not sure that helps Your am not allowed to hate my coworker, And that'd be a new thing, would I. I don't think it's good for for a

spree to corps. Well I don't know whether know. I don't even need to go there. You can come up with a hundred examples of legitimate political beliefs that'd be tough if you weren't allowed to hate your coworkers that there's some sort of tests I have to quit. I'd have to put every job. Yeah, then there'd be no jobs. I mean, come to have your bank employees were in a hat to bring down capitalism as they meet with

all of your your corporate customers. End capitalism. Now, capitalism is thievery whatever, it's no, no, no is the answer. You can't. I wish you could open a business and do your experiment of allowing people to wear political stuff and see how it works out. Well. I feel it would somewhat sort itself out regionally, right, like whatever your

individual stores customer base would handle or tolerate. I think you could build your policies around matt um right, so you'd be much more likely to see a MAGA hat or in all right in in in in Trump states, and then you're more likely to see the Black Lives Matter stuff in in your Blue states. But you're gonna have one employee that wants to wear Black Lives Matter in the Trump States. I'm not sure I like this. Uh, it's unfair. Yeah, it's unfair framing. Let's all agree with that.

But um uh. If it was the name of my art shop. I tell people it was gonna be sixty dollars to frame their family portrait. And I'm charging three like the unfair framing, or I have a better price. I'm cheaper than everybody else. We only get three sides on the frame and the fourth one do you do you it's another hundred dollars. This is unfair. Well did you see the sign outside get unfair framing? We are give me much your back. It's my I own it.

You should have read the contract. You put mustaches on all the people. Why did you do that? I do whatever I want. It's unfair framing the armstrong and getting show before we revisit old Joe Biden. Joe Biden came across this with a picture of Kim Jong UN's sister. I probably should know her name at this point do we know her name? Doesn't matter? Kim Jong UN's sister puts the cute back and execute That's what who wants?

Who asked for a joke? Is a brutal dictatorship. She's got to be the cutest evil dictator of all time. Unless're gonna go back to some sort of queen or something that I don't know what they look like, but no Jong. I think her name is Um. It's not clear to me exactly how um yeah, how powerful she is? What what are what's her portfolio? As they say, I don't know, Um, we might find out. Uh So Joe Biden came out of his hole yesterday and did a little talking. I I'm not um as dismissive of that

as a lot of people are. I think it's a sound strategy for running for president. I think it's the smart thing to do. If I was an advisor and wanted him to be president, it's what I would be advising. Um. I think you just make it for for a certain segment of voter out there. You just try to portray it as there's got to be something better than this with Trump, That's what I would do. Yeah, and allow no negatives in any time you have your candy to

come out. There's a possibility of negatives. If your girlfriend's dating you another guy and he's making a complete ass of himself, and that's you know the perception of Trump by some people that you just don't say word. Don't let him dig his own grave. As they say, of course you know, it depends who he asked. Anyway, he came out and gave a little speech yesterday and this was his big rara, finish American. He's a president who do the work. I'm ready in day one after more

than three years in office. Why isn't Donald Trump ready? Mr President? Wake up, get to work. There's so much more to be done. Thank you. I've heard that much. Well, it was weird at the beginning. That weird how he runs the runs the sentences together. I'm ready to go after three years in office? Why aren't you, Mr President? I was like, oh, yeah, I know. It's confusing. I didn't know what he was talking about anything, but uh, that is that makes Jeb Bush seemed like Richard Simmons. Yeah, wow,

that's they're going for mellow. I think because we've been talking about this, how the modern pace and the constant conflict in the screaming headlines, and and let's face it, Trump keeps things stirred up. He doesn't intentionally, it's just he gets a little exhausting after a while, and so they're going for calming. Steady old Joe Biden, you know, as the expression goes, I think they told him to take to aspert and he took the whole bottle. Yeah,

but there's you know, that's slowing down the pace. But he can't have a heart rate of eleven? Was that the death rattle? I heard gimony? Get him on a respiate. Somebody texts that he's got t MB too many birthdays. Oh boy, oh Joe Biden, tell you what he must have been something before electricity. Huh uh. So if he does that, anything within a hundred miles of that on a debate stage, that could change the polls overnight, assuming they have debates, assume they have face to face debate.

So I don't know. I just got a call. I'm playing in the Gulf Tournament this weekend. They asked me if I'm willing to ride in a cart with my partner. We're driving there together, we hang out all the time. I said yes. They said, now we have plastic dividers we can put right down the middle of the cart if you like. That's that's not necessary. So maybe they'll put Trump and Biden in plastic boxes. Might come up

like there's some sort of game show. Hi, uh, this is a corn pop. When I'm not trying to get my razor Rusty and a rain barrel. I listened to final thoughts with Armstrong and Giddy. I see that I had no idea corn Pop was still around. Here's your host for final lots, Joe. Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew. He presses the buttons in the control room, keeps us on the air. Michaelang final Yeah, every time I eat at cholupa from Taco bell I

feel like I'm standing in Mexico City. There that authentic, nice positive Sean, our producer, final thought for I've been trying to get the coronavirus and a a body test for about a week now. Every place I've gone to so far starts with a questionnaire that figures out how likely you are to have it, and I've been denied every time because I've been answering, honestly, So it's not even these testing numbers were getting an increased cases. They are

only testing likely people. So it's even a higher number than the silly number than we've I don't know if I'm making my point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, when you consider asymptomatic and yeah, so much is still unknown. Jack a final thought for us. I'm wondering if the mask controversy is about to come back. As a couple of year, major states like California are looking at going statewide mandatory masks. Are we going to get the whole? What was it
