Thank you so much for joining me.

It is New Year's Eve.

And I want to just speak briefly with you. I don't think I'm going to do a whole

episode but I wanted to leave the year off with why I'm hopeful. Much of this show as you cover as I cover the day-to-day news cycle, it becomes extremely

difficult to seem and feel hopeful because we are I mean honestly we are there's a lot

going on we have issues that we have to address and we have fights that we have to fight.

And so it just becomes difficult generally speaking to have a tone of hopefulness,

but I hope that throughout this show and those of you who've been with me for the longest, I hope

that you see there is hope.

And here's some of the reasons I'm actually hopeful right now.

And some of them are more meaningful than others.

Some of them are tongue in cheek.

But listen, the way that Andrew Tate imploded on himself, I don't know if you've caught wind of it. I don't know to what degree you're plugged into the matrix, which is what he would call it. But Andrew Tate is the

MMA multi-illionaire influencer from Romania who decided to pick on Greta Thunberg.

Didn't play out well for him. Well ultimately he got arrested yesterday and he's been released since and he was already we already knew about the investigation. I alluded to it in the first episode that I talked about this,

but we already knew about the investigation into human trafficking and rape that's happening.

They've been looking for him for a while in Romania. But the point is this, these people aren't that bright.

They're certainly not bright enough to overcome their own proclivities.

They can't control their impulses.
