  Speaker 2: Mark?
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Great, I'm glad you're on an extra hour. How are
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: you coping with that?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It's not easy. It's not easy, but it's like it's
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: like push ups. You can do ten and there's no problem.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: But if you practice, you can do twenty and it
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: seems to be no problem. You just got a practice,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: it gets easier.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: I'm curious. Remember the storms they had two years ago
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: down in South where where everybody couldn't connect with each
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: other and talk, and then Elon Musk sent starlink to them. Yeah,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: I'm wondering, why can't we do that to Iran? So
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: we can so they can form a resistance against their government.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Well, how are you gonna get how are you gonna
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: get them there?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I guess satellites, isn't it. You can
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: just shoot?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I know, but how do you get them? You have
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to get to meet a starlink dish? How do you
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: do that?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Okay? I didn't think about that. I don't not Yeah,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I just know about what happened in Downtouth where so
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: people connect with each other.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Well, that was easier. You just drive a truck down.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: They're filled with starlink dishes and pass them out. You
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: can't drive a truck into I ran with them, and
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you could deprove it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I got you. You thought I had a brilliant idea. Okay,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: thank you.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Now you could parachute one in, but I don't know
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: if anybody would know what to do with it when
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: they got it. Let's go to Rob in Long Island.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Rob, how you doing market morning? I learned that Alaska
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: has a program for dividend distributions to its residents on
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: royalties for oil sales. And to get that check every year,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: they've got to show ID eight percent of the people
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: who live there sign up for this dividend check. And
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: so it seems really foolhardy that Murrakowski can't vote for
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: the Save Act if you can show idea to get
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: that that that that check. In addition, though, when you
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: sign up to get that money, you're automatically enrolled to vote.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: But when you vote, they tell you, oh, if you're
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: only a resident and not a citizen, you're not allowed
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: to vote. So they set the table for potential fraud
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: on their own and then they on their honor system.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: They don't do that, and the other twenty percent of
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: people can go on the Internet and they have a
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: way to show ID to vote. So her whole notion
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: about not being able to show ID as cruel as
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: it's nonsense. And the last point I want to make
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: is that Alaska is a hearty state that has the
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: history of the Iditarod and Mount McKinley and the Klondike.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: If they can have done all that, they can figure
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: out a way to go vote.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: No.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, very good point. Excellent, Rob. I like that idea.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Though you get a dividend from the oil sales every
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: citizen get. You know, when they say, well a lot
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of people can't get a voter ID, let's give out
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a diffend. Let's give out some money and see how
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: fast anybody can get a vot Everybody can get a
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: photo ID real fast. If there's money to be made
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: off it. Let's go to mic and Portchester. Mike, how
• 3:00
