Dead Men Walking Podcast: Current News Edition

Countdown is hilarious. Oh, welcome back to another episode of Dead Men Walking Podcast. Yes. Joe Biden's America, where the inflation is so bad. Black Friday sales just seemed like regular prices from a year ago.

Oh, man. I don't know. I did see the 80 inch TV at Best Buy for like five ninety nine. Oh, thanks for stepping on my joke.

You know, I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry about that. Don't they teach you in comedy? Yes. And I agree. Now, how much was it?

Five ninety nine or something like that. Yeah, dude. An 80 inch.

80. I know, dude. Right. I don't even have 80 inches on a wall anywhere. Yeah, right. Yeah, exactly. Free space. Yeah. Oh, but yeah, we're live. So yeah, I'm doing another current news edition. Right.

And we're live. So hopefully you guys are watching us on YouTube and Facebook and all those places we broadcast live. But we wanted there's so much news going on. There is this week that we wanted to do another one.

But before we jump into that, how are you doing, brother? Doing awesome, man.

Thanksgiving Leftovers, Family Time, and Holiday Banter

During the snow in Michigan, you know it. Did you did you get to eat some turkey?

Oh, my gosh. We had so much food, man. Yes. It was just I've been eating turkey, ham, stuffing, potatoes. And oh, yeah. Green beans for the last week, four days, five days, you know. Let me ask you this.

Yeah. Maybe we're the only family that does this. But when you have Thanksgiving leftovers, do you also eat them for breakfast? Absolutely. Yeah.

I'm not the only one. Yeah, man. The other day I used the ham on some egg sandwiches, but I also had some stuffing and mashed potatoes. So yeah, man, for sure. OK, good. Yeah. Pumpkin pie for breakfast.

Coffee. Wait a minute. Now that's I mean, I'm not afraid.

Well, I guess that's 6 a .m. Yeah, it's like a Cinnabon or a Danish or whatever. Right. Yeah, exactly.

Why can't we have pie for breakfast? Just like a quiche. Nice quiche. Yeah. But a quiche isn't a quiche egg. Yeah, I think so. But I think they make them out of a bunch of things, right? Like, I don't know.

Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know. I mean, I got a couple of friends that are chefs right now listening. They're exactly idiots.

They are. They're upset about what we're saying.

I don't. I thought it was like an egg bake. Like, isn't a quiche like an egg bake? Yeah, I think that's right.

I mean, I've I've eaten before.

You put a bunch of stuff in it, throw it in the oven and it like bakes.

Sounds like, you know, exactly what you're talking about, Greg. I don't. So I don't know how much flour is in it, too.

We call that an egg bake. Where I'm from.

You're like, yeah, there's actually a cup of flour, 10 eggs. Yeah, I have no idea what's in it.

Oh, I don't know either. But yeah, we did the Thanksgiving thing we hosted. So that's nice. Nice. Everyone goes, oh, it's so kind of you to host. And then in my mind, I'm going, it's kind of an ulterior motive because it's like, I don't have to go a bunch.

Right, right. Like, yeah, there's a lot of cleanup and dishes. Yeah, we actually had some family members that were kind enough to clean up and do the dishes.

Nice. Everyone leaves. And you go, oh, I'm at my own house. I know. Exactly.

You know, yeah, man. Do you do the multiple places in the same day or no spread it out? Or what do you do?

We were doing that for a little while. And that was that's it's just too much. So, you know, one one side of the family, we change the day and then the other side of the family, we go on the day of and kind of bounces back and forth.

But yeah, we had everybody over our house for Thanksgiving. And yeah, it was great. And especially having, you know, a toddler running around. She has her toys and she has everything there that that can preoccupy her for the most part.

Right. And so that's that's very nice. But yeah, man, had a great time. Had a great time with family.

Yeah, it is nice spending time with family. Absolutely. When you like your family. Yeah, absolutely. I'm in the position where I do like my family. Right, right. Extended family. They're good people. Yeah.

Yeah. So good. So what else is new? Anything else besides the snow? We got the the Thanksgiving, the food, man. I mean, we're doing pretty good, right?

Yeah, for sure. We just had a ton of things in the in the news coming out right now. You want to talk about it? The new variant. OK. Yeah. And then we also had the Beatles had their new movie coming out on Disney Plus.

Not sure if you knew about that. No, I didn't. Get back. Yeah. So they filmed all of that. I've been wondering when they were going to release something like that. Yeah, because you know that the Beatles had a bunch of cameras around all the time, right?

Videotaping and everything. So, yeah, I mean, get back the the record, get back was filmed. And yeah, it was just it was just amazing seeing them writing songs, you know, seeing them writing, don't let me down.

And just, you know, just so many amazing songs on that record.

So what is it like a rockumentary or is it like a it's like a.

Yeah, I mean, it looks like it looks like they're writing the tunes right there in front of you, bringing in different producers and players and, you know, how they recorded it. And I want to say it was three weeks or something from start to finish.

And it's like, yeah, it's like, you got to be kidding me, you know, to write an album like that. I mean, it's it's insane.

You know, those documentaries and those movies about music as a musician always, they suck me right in. Oh, yeah, they get me. Yeah. I can't remember the name of it, but Dave Grohl did one about the board that he found.

Oh, yeah. The sound city sound city. Is that what it is? Yeah. And I watched that. It was just unbelievable just because the technical aspect of him saving that studio and kind of wanting that one recording board.

So you're working off of like two inch fat tape where gives you that real raw, gritty sound, right? Like, you know, if nothing's digital, if you're cutting something, you're literally going in, cutting tape and then taping it back together.

Analog. Then he I think he had he had one of the Beatles on that and record a song. He had Zac Brown come in and do something. There was all these different guys come in and do all this different type of music.

Right. Not just rock, but some was country. Some was like, you know, rockabilly. Yeah. It was an interesting. It was a great. Yeah, I got sucked into it.

I mean, with Dave Grohl, I mean, you have such a diverse musician. He can play any kind of, you know, style, whether it is on the guitar, whether it is on the drums. I mean, he he's a music lover and I love hearing him in interviews talk about music.

It's it's just I mean, I love it.

Plus, I love the way he just I mean, he beats on those skins.

Yeah, dude. You as a drummer, I'm sure it's just loud. And it's like in your face.

And he can play nuanced as well, too. I mean, he definitely has precision and nuance. But when he's just banging on him, you're like, yeah, gosh, exact things.

Man alive. It's yeah, it's great to see.

Cool. You want to talk about some news? For sure. Should we play the Newsy News clip for this live? Well, yeah, because it is technically you can't wait. Plus, we know. OK, here we go.

Current News Edition and the Newsy News Clip

News, the news, the news, the news, the news, the news, the news, the news, the news.

Oh, man. So this is like an extended news. Exactly. We're going to talk about some different news stuff, right?

It's kind of like our our show that we tried to start back in May.

Yeah. And get out the bones and the kind of and it got a good reception. And then we just kind of fell off.

I know it was the summer was was a little a little different for us.

So the idea lives on. Yeah, for sure, man.

In theory. So that's what we're doing. It's always good for us to have conversations about real life. You know, I mean, I mean, yes, of course, theology is exactly what's on the. This is a fantasy. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. But yeah, just have just talking about culture and how, you know, we live through some of these things that are happening as as believers. So what's on your mind? So here's one from the Daily Mail.

That's in the UK. The virus rules are blamed for 23 percent dive in young children's development. Disturbing studies show scores in three key cognitive tests slumped between 2018 and 2021 with face mask rules among possible culprits.

So, yeah, that was.

Amazing. Can I make a comment really quick?

Please do, because I just lost my spot.

And you can tell me if your brain works this way. People watching and listening can please tell us, too. OK, so they come out with a VAC, a jab. There you go. OK, we're going to use some certain words.

Yeah, we got to watch it only for only for children because shadow banning is real people. Yep. And we've noticed that. So they come out with this jab and and they say it's strictly for kids nine or 11 and under works perfect for them.

Literally, the whole entire world says to who and to the CDC in the United States to go, but the kids aren't getting it right. Like they don't need it. What are you talking about? And they're like, oh, no, they got to have it.

We're going to start get put it in schools and we'll give it to the schools free. We won't charge them. And you're like, OK, this insanity all over again. And then literally two weeks later, now we have a new variant that only attacks kids.

Right. Exactly. My brain goes, wow, that's perfect timing. Exactly.

Yeah. Well, along with that, I don't know if you heard this or not. OK, and I'm I'm going to say something that that that I saw somewhere that I do not have it in front of me where I saw it. OK. But they said that in South Africa, they were doing really well down there with the numbers.

Yeah, that's what I heard. And then all of a sudden, the next day, like this new variant shows up. It's like in that area where they're like, yeah. But it's like it's like, you know, by us saying those two things, it sounds like we're conspiracy theorists.

It does. Right. But but it's just not true.

It's not, though, because look, you're supposed to. Biblically, you're supposed to be wise as serpents, gentle as doves. You're supposed to use discernment. And now we've also been been bombarded for the last, you know, 20 plus years with the mainstream media that just carries the water for for whatever narrative.

Right. That certain people are pushing, whether it's in power or politicians or corporations or whatever it is. And, you know, I saw a meme a few a few months ago. And it said, you know, conspiracy theories are the new spoiler alerts.

Right, right. Because that's the truth. Right.

And especially if you follow that stuff, you just see conspiracy after conspiracy. Then it's like, oh, no, it's true. And no one it's almost like no one cares or we have such short attention spans. We just go, oh, well, move on to the next thing when, in fact, you know, my kind of discerning brain goes, OK, we had we created a solution to a problem we didn't have.

Yeah. No one really took it. So then we created a problem. Now, I'm not saying that, you know, that variant was created or not. But like you're saying, and we showed such low numbers in across Africa, South Africa specifically, and then literally the next day or two, it's like, oh, no, we got we can't even allow flights exactly from there.

Yeah. Which that's hilarious. Yeah. That's remember when Trump wanted to shut down flights from China and they said he's a racist.

He doesn't like xenophobe xenophobe.

He doesn't like people of Asian descent and this and that. And then Biden does the exact same thing to Africa, but not exactly. A lot of our mainstream media, which is insane, right? Not insane. I take that back.

It's par for the course.

Now, it's exactly what they want. But to end to end this story real quick, this this study. I wanted to add this in. But the study concluded that children born during the pandemic have significantly reduced verbal, motor and overall cognitive performance compared to children born pre pandemic.

In addition, the report adds masks worn in public settings and in school or daycare settings may impact a range of early developing skills such as attachment, facial processing and socio emotional processing.

So everything what people were saying, like lay people. Yeah, because they have common sense. When you take a two, three, four year old that needs to have visual eye contact. Yeah. The human brain is still imprinting up until the age of six years old.

We go, hey, that can't be good. Now they're coming out. And that's that's a study that came out, you're saying, out of wherever. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. Once again, conspiracy theories, right?

Right. Exactly. You have a whole group of parents and concerned citizens that say, hey, this isn't going to be healthy. Everyone goes, oh, no, it's fine. And then six months, eight months, a year goes by.

And they go, oh, wait a minute. Yeah, there are drastic mental health effects, developmental effects for children. And you just go when. That's why I'm convinced. Well, I'm convinced of depravity because of this.

Oh, yeah. I'm convinced of man's original sin and man's fallenness just because we continue to push through on things that, you know, we used to call them common sense. But I don't even know if you can call them common sense anymore because it's not common.

Right. Seems to be the minority. But we keep pushing through on these things that are not godly, not biblical. They're not common sense. They're not, you know, air quotes, natural. We would say, you know, natural would mean created by God, the creator.

But we just keep pushing on these things even when they're not. Yeah. You know, even the whole conspiracy theory on Dr. F, you know, he's this great guy. He's this, you know, this this scientist and this leader who's going to tell us when we should mask, when we should shut down, when we shouldn't.

Right. And then he flip flops and, you know, and then you've got guys like Rand Paul from a year and a half ago going, hey, this guy like did all this research and he, you know, what was it? Gained a function or function to gain or whatever it's called.

You know, did all this this kind of sideways stuff and they went, oh, he's a crazy conspiracy theorist. And now, you know, a couple of months ago, not only was he locking little baby beagles in plastic cages and watching fleas eat their faces off.

You know, he was doing all kinds of funding, all kinds of despicable things.

And and funded it. Right. Exactly.

Once again, the conspiracy theory becomes the spoiler alert.

Exactly. Yeah. Craziness. Yeah. We have we've seen quite a bit of craziness over the past couple of years, that's for sure. Especially on the progressive left side.

Sorry. Sorry. I'm not sorry. I call I calls it how I sees it.

You know, but as we always say, I mean, we're not saying that the left is the progressive left. You know, like the left is different than the progressive side of it. Right.

Oh, yeah. I would say I make the distinction between Democrat, progressive, liberal and leftist. They're all kind of four four buckets within the kind of left side, kind of like how you have Republicans, conservatives, alt right and Tea Party.

Or they're kind of all different. Yeah, they're all kind of on that side. But it's, you know, but I would say like classic liberals and Democrats, they're a little bit more moderate and conservative. Your progressives and your leftists, they've lost their mind.

I mean, JFK, I'd probably line up with a lot of things that JFK said. Right.

I think we talked about that before. Like JFK was like, you know, pro-life is a Catholic pro-life. He was pro of sound money, anti-fiat money, wanted to end the Fed or reduce it. He was pro guns. He was pro business.

He lowered taxes. And you're like, good Lord, this guy would be like a Ted Cruz Republican. You know what I mean? It's like so that's how far the Democrats have actually shifted. When you look at their, you know, their party now in the.

Political Labels, JFK, and the Shift in the Democratic Party

Yeah. And you have the AOCs and the Saliba sheets here in Michigan, actually. And yeah, Nancy Pelosi's and it's like, you know, Omar. Yeah, it's like whatever her name is. Late term third abortions, climate control stuff.

You know, that's Elizabeth Warren. Tax. Bernie Sanders. Tax the rich at 100 percent, a few of them have said.

Exactly. We have we have the makers and we have the takers. I mean, Elon Musk, for instance, is a maker. This guy is doing things for humanity and he is trying to fix the problem. You know, they want they want climate climate change.

They you know, they they want control of what's going out of factories and how to fix it and go in electric and all these. And Elon is doing it while he's making something to help them and their cause.

They're still like, oh, wait a second. You need to pay a little bit more to us because we're takers. Right. Like that's exactly what he's what they're doing to Elon. And now, you know. Yeah, of course, if you want to throw me in the Elon fan boy category.

Sure. Whatever. I like Elon Musk and I like what he's doing. I like all of their technology that they're working on. Right. The only problem I have with him. Well, not the only, but there's a few. So I love Bernie or with Elon with with Elon.

OK, is watch it.

No, I'm just I'm a be truthful. It might not be popular with some of our listeners or people who are watching. But first of all, he's taken over two billion dollars in government money. Subsidies, subsidies.

So he's not like the self-made. He was a self-made millionaire, not a self-made billionaire. He had twenty two million in like nineteen ninety nine. So he had some money in the late 90s, but he took over two two billion dollars in subsidies, which is just a redistribution of wealth.

Take it from me and give it to him. Secondly, obviously, he doesn't have a biblical worldview. And that makes me a little nervous when he's talking about plugging into brain stems and in AI and things like that.

Neuralink. Neuralink. Thank you. I don't mind when guys like Rod Martin talking about it. He's on the podcast and he's like, oh, my God, he wants to have a fleet of ships. He has a rocket ship. We know Rod Martin has a world view.

Yeah. You know what I mean? We know that the Gary DeMars of the world, when they're talking about futurist things, have a biblical worldview. When you have Elon Musk, not so biblical. And it just it gets you got to you really got to watch it.

Because I think I think that the the thing that I think my point that I'm trying to make is just that he is doing something that they want. Correct. And they're like, oh, but wait a second. You still owe us, you know, right?

We still need more from you, you know, and especially your money. And like just like we said on our capitalism show. I mean, is there really a point where someone needs 250 billion dollars? I don't think so.

But like he employs 90 ,000 people. I'm pretty sure the last figure that I saw. So he's actually trying to. Oh, did we go offline? So he's actually, you know, helping families and doing these things. And it'd be great if if Elon heard, you know, the the true gospel and came on our podcast.

You know, it's crazy, though. Let's talk. I think he would, though. That's what I think it would be. Yeah, right. I bet you'd be crazy enough to do it. I think he would. I think he'd totally do it. But no, but I totally hear what you're saying.

Yes, obviously. Yeah. Rod Martin would be the one to watch in that. And but yeah, I mean, there are the like of what I'm saying, though, is there's makers and there's takers and there's people that, you know, will never stop taking.

It seems that way. Yeah. And honestly, I don't want to go on for 30 minutes on this subject. We could. We could. So if you guys it's actually one of our more popular episodes. Capitalism. Yeah. The biblical principles of capitalism.

It's probably what, two or three months old now at this point. So go back. Go back in. Dead Man Walking podcast. DMW podcast dot com or just find us anywhere you listen to podcasts. Go back a few months and listen to that.

And we spent about a good 40 minutes on the biblical principles of capitalism. We talked about taxing the rich at 100 percent. Right. Which kind of if you don't mind, that brings me into the next. Yeah, yeah.

I wanted to bring up. I came across this MSNBC news article. I do like to, you know, kind of surf and cruise across mainstream media just to keep up on what they're saying and what the agenda is. This one caught my eye.

It says opinion. Do U .S. Christians want to tax the rich? The answer might surprise you, but not Jesus. All right. So it's a little clickbaity, right? There we go. So you click on it. And I'm just going to give you about half the article because it's long and drawn out mostly opinion, but it's got a poll in there.

So it's too often Christian politics gets reduced to abortion and same sex marriage topics. Jesus never talked about untrue, but OK. The Gospels do record him speaking out about economic justice, though.

OK, another kind of false narrative straw man. Who was it? I think it was either James White or R .C. Sproul said, if you have to put a word in front of justice, it's no longer justice. Yeah, justice.

So there's no such thing as economic justice. Jesus didn't talk about that. But anyway, it says chocolate knocks. Jenny, we'll give it. We'll give it the chocolate knocks, chocolate knocks. We're going to we're going to give you that.

I did see a meme, honestly, that he put out that he said that had that quote. But it could have. I mean, he could have, you know, not see that one. He could have borrowed it.

Yeah. And go follow chocolate knocks on Instagram and Twitter. He's always got good posts. He's one third of cross politic, which we like those guys over there. Jesus taught that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.

OK, so this is MSNBC. So you're going to hear a lot of twisted scripture. But it's going to get me to my point. His words came to mind as I watched Jeff Bezos board his private spaceship in July. It seemed easier today for a billionaire to launch himself into space than for Congress to, you know, pass a law that says we need to tax the rich.

But it goes on and says many Christians in the United States and America at large favor raising taxes on rich people and corporations, according to recent polls, 60 percent of self identifying Christians, which when I read an article like this, I'm always questioning.

Maybe this is why I kind of have. I don't know, maybe a righteous anger, not a righteous anger, but I feel like some people say, oh, wow, you really have a gift of teaching, whatever that means. And I just go, no, I just I'm always questioning.

I go, OK, first of all, self identifying Christians by what by what standard? Right. By what means? So, yeah, believe that upper income people pay too little in taxes, according to an April morning consult political poll.

Well, 62 percent of Christians, OK, believe corporations pay too little in taxes. And 77 percent of Christians in the same poll agreed that the wealthiest Americans should pay higher taxes, while 71 percent said the same about corporations, according to another spring poll from America's for Tax Fairness.

And then it says 60 percent of Protestants and 68 percent of Catholics support raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations.

So has there ever been an article written that said. What the Muslim community thought of, you know, like like just like they tried to pull. I'm sure it's out there. All of Christianity all into that.

Yeah, yeah. All together into this one little under one little umbrella. You know, this is what all Christians think. No, so I don't agree with most of that.

Yeah. You know, it's like, well, herein lies the problem. And why you and I always define terms on the podcast. Sorry, everybody. I was mad. No, I'm just. This is why we always define terms, too, because just like it's hard to say.

Like, what's evangelical mean now? Right. What does Christian mean? This is why I love Ligonier. Shout out to Ligonier Ministries. My wife and I, we support them. We send them money. They're doing good work.

We love Darcy Sproul. We get table talk. Oh, yeah. That's my little 10 second commercial for Ligonier guys. We'll check them out. Great. So good. Have every episode edition or whatever it is for the last three or four years.

But they do a poll every year and they pull 25000 people and they ask the questions to define Christianity. Do you believe in the Trinity? Do you believe in orthodox Christianity with these three or four points?

Do you believe that Christ is the son of God? Right. And they go through and what they found was like 68 percent of the 25000 people they polled at random that identified as Christians, 68 percent of them did not believe that Christ was the son of God.

Well, 68 percent. Good. So so when you hear in this article, oh, Christians, air quotes. Yeah. Believe that we should tax the ritual. What are we saying? Are we is it we're saying basically what I'm saying is the word Christian is now loosely thrown around, just like your point was, and they just group them into all.

Oh, yeah, I believe that there's something out there. Right. Christian. Yeah, yeah. Right. You know what I mean? So you're going to go to heaven. Yep.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, you're a Christian. Yeah. All right. But don't believe, you know, in the Trinity. Don't believe that Christ was a deity. Don't believe in orthodox Christianity.

Don't believe that if you if you live by Romans one and Romans five, that, you know, there might be issues. Yeah.

So my point is, is when I read through that, that kind of news story and you've got MSNBC pumping out this garbage with these vague terms, 80 percent or whatever, 62 percent of Christians and 68 percent of Catholics believe that the rich aren't paying their fair share.

It's like, well, who are you polling? How are they identified?

And what area of the country are you polling? That's true. You know, are you are you polling people in L .A.

Or Los Angeles and New York City?

Or even or even, hey, are you polling people in the deep south? You know, it's like, OK, there's going to be a difference of opinion in all three of those places.

Yeah. So I would just say this, this is kind of off subject, but anyone who reads through a news article or or through a poll always go and find like what the polling size was, who did it? Was it a double blind or single?

Like what were the questions asked? Like, fine. Just don't quote a poll. Right.

Polar like we started seeing that with make them say anything the election stuff, you know, like you would start seeing that on Fox or CNN. Well, this many people think this about the president. OK, well, you know, who did you poll?

Did you poll just conservatives? You know, did you poll 82 percent conservatives and 18 percent liberals? You know, like like who are you polling?

So, yeah, yeah. But it's just crazy because it well, we saw that in 2016, right? Yeah. All the polls said Hillary Clinton, 98 percent right to win. And then it's like it was like a self-serving poll.

Who was out of a hundred. Hillary Clinton donate supporters, donors, donors. 98 said she would win. Right, right. Well, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Of course, they're going to say that's a crazy thing, too. This is kind of subject.

I'll let you get.

Oh, you're fine. Next thing is loose, man. Yeah, it is loose.

But there's this awesome thing about the psychology of self-fulfilling or not self-fulfilling, but the psychology of being wrong to where people when presented with facts that are contrary to what they just said will actually double down because they would rather be wrong or not wrong, but wrong about the subject.

And they did it with one of the examples was like Jimmy Kimmel. Well, he'll go around to people in Los Angeles and he'll give them Hillary Clinton's this is a couple of years ago, Hillary Clinton's top.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Economic plans. And then he would and they go, yeah, we love Hillary Clinton. Yeah, I agree with that. I agree with that.

You know, she didn't actually say it.

She didn't say Trump said it. Yeah. Yeah. And they would literally say, no, you're lying. That's not true. Like I remember, it's like the psychological thing to where you double down because you don't want to be wrong.

You believe in your own statements or thoughts so much. Yeah, it's just crazy. And that's kind of what you see when you see these type of polls, too. But I don't know what else. What else we got? Yeah, yeah.

I kind of rambled there.

No, you're totally fine, man. I pulled an article just about the new variant and what it did to the Dow Jones futures. And yeah, so anyway, Dow Jones futures rose Sunday evening, which is right now. Actually, I don't know if everybody knows this or not, but the Dow Jones, the S &P 500, the Nasdaq, and the futures start on Sunday night at 6 p .m.

So the market actually opens on Monday, you know, but the futures start on Sunday night at 6 p .m. OK, but anyway, tonight I don't know. Yeah, yeah. So Dow Jones futures rose Sunday evening along with S &P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures with crude oil, treasury yields and Bitcoin also rebounding after Friday's sell off.

All eyes are on the newly discovered. I am going to say that word wrong, Omicron, Omicron. I think it's Omicron. Omicron sounds like a transformer or something. Variant. It is a transformer, right? Following.

Yeah, sure. Following Friday's sell off. So so on Friday, the the Dow dropped a thousand points. OK, the Nasdaq dropped about 300 points.

And I mean, what was that all about?

The few I mean, it's just scarce. You know, people are scared in the market. So they hear they hear a new variant. So they think, oh, there might be lockdowns, you know, or or, you know, business supply chain might get might get halted or things might not show up for business to continue to produce.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong. Yeah, you're not giving any type of advice here. Obviously not. Not at all. But isn't that the time to buy when people are like a little fearful?

Warren Buffett says when people are fearful, be greedy, be greedy. When they're greedy, they're greedy.

Be fearful. You're fearful. So when you when this be like kind of if you're doing this every day or this is your business, when you want to look at those dips ago, maybe I should.

So the thing about the dips with the with the what are we calling it tonight? The virus, the virus with the V with the virus. You don't know how low it will go. You know, right. So if people really get afraid and they just are just like, I need to lock some profits, I don't know where the market is going to go.

I'm not a long shareholder. I'm just going to sell now and wait until it really bottoms out like March of 2020 and just see where it stops, you know, and then it starts coming back up. Some people will start taking advantage of certain stocks like like Moderna, BioNTech, Pfizer, you know, all these different.

Jab. Yeah. How about the fact that Moderna was $18 a share in January of 2020 and now it's trading at like over 300 bucks? It's over 300.

I think their top out was like 480, 490. I don't quote me, but yeah, man, it's it's wild. I mean, especially if you're a biotech stocks are really, really erratic, man, like someday. Yeah, man, because if you're holding it overnight, say somebody says, you know, something something might not have worked out as well or you start hearing about more deaths or, you know, it not working as much.

It's just going to drop like a rock overnight. I mean, I'm talking like 30, 40 points. And I mean, it's not a rock to most people. But, you know, to me, if if something drops 30 or 40 dollars, I mean, I'm looking at that like, oh, you know, especially if you have a thousand shares, it's like you drop 50 grand like right there.
