We finally reached the end of the year.

We're here. It's upon us. And we survived. We finally reached the end of the year. We're here.

It's upon us. And we survived. We all got here. You know, that was in doubt. All year long,

it was in doubt. Over the last three weeks, it was in doubt. I mean, I know that I was expected

to be dead at least twice. I'm not even talking about when I visited Berkeley. I'm just talking

about the tax reform and net neutrality. But we'll talk about all of the things that are happening on this, the last workday essentially, of 2017. But first, I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at Blinkist. So you're going to have some time over the holidays, but you don't have time to read a 500-page book. You don't. You have time to listen to a 15-minute segment that basically brings you all the points of the book, because that's all you're going to remember anyway. Well, that's what Blinkist is for. Instead of having to spend all your time waiting

through pages and pages of material, you're in the car anyway, you're there for an hour, and you don't have my podcast next week. So what are you going to do? You're driving to Grandma's house. What are you going to do all week? Well, this is why you need the Blinkist app. The Blinkist app gives you in what they call Blinks 15-minute summaries of the main points of 2,000 of the best-selling non-fiction books in America transformed into powerful information packs.

Now you can feast your mind on key ideas from top best-selling non-fiction books, things like Flow, which talks about how to achieve more happiness in your work life, to why nations feel,

talking about how nations are run. Why nations feels like a 700-page book. It'll take you a week to complete. But if you listen to The Blinkist on it, it'll take you like 15 minutes to complete. It's been selected as one of the best apps in America by Forbes, BuzzFeed, the New York Times, and it's used by over 3 million users. Right now, Blinkist has a special offer just for our audience.

Okay, so today, big day over at the White House. The president of the United States signs into law, his ginormous tax cut. And everyone is very excited. So the president signs that into law just before Christmas. And then he says that he's going to have a working vacation. I hope not. I hope the president just takes the time off. Let's the media fester.

He doesn't need to provide them content. Let them chew on all of the good things that are

happening because of this tax cut. So here is an additional list. We gave you a list yesterday of

corporations that are now giving bonuses and raises to people and hiring more people because of the tax cut that just passed the Senate and the House
