| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the der show. It was news today, obviously relating to some of the programs |
| 0:10.0 | we've had. The Supreme Court, nine to nothing ruled that Congress has the right to subpoena, |
| 0:17.6 | the Democratic Congress, has the right to subpoena Trump's tax returns. Even though the decision |
| 0:24.6 | was nine to nothing, I'm not sure it's right. The claim by Congress is that they want his tax returns |
| 0:33.8 | in order to pass legislation for the future. That doesn't pass the Google test. That's not why they |
| 0:39.7 | want his tax returns. They want his tax returns because they want to look at his tax returns |
| 0:44.8 | because they're pissed at him because he didn't produce his tax returns like other presidents have |
| 0:48.8 | done. And because they hope maybe they're going through his tax returns, they will find something |

| 1:28.3 | touch on white collar fraud. I want to touch on the Elizabeth Holmes case. Remember her? She's the |
| 1:36.0 | Silicon Valley Wunderkint who was convicted and sentenced to 11 years in prison. I also want to |
| 1:44.1 | touch on the Sam Bankman freed case, the FTX Fiasco, which is now causing millions of dollars |
| 1:52.8 | of losses and ask questions about how that should be handled. But here's my main point. |
| 2:02.4 | If you look closely at the Theranos case, Theranos was this blood testing company, Elizabeth Holmes, |
| 2:09.7 | a drop out from Stanford, a beautiful young, articulate woman who dressed like she was really |
| 2:16.9 | at the top of her game, persuaded, very sophisticated investors, very sophisticated investors, |
| 2:24.5 | and very sophisticated people to join her board of directors. And she was convicted of fraud. |
| 2:34.6 | And sentenced to 11 years in prison. That's a pretty long term for fraud. Generally, |
